Eficiência de alfacipermetrina e cipermetrina no controle de triatomíneos em Camalaú, no sul da Paraíba (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

We sprayed, in three groups of Domiciliary Units, 10 and 15 g of alphacypermethrin and 31.3 g of cypermethrin per pump of 10 liters, equivaling, if applied on 250 [squared meters), respectiveliy, to 60 and 40 mg of a alphacypermethrin [per squared meter] and 125,2 mg of cypermethrin [per squared meter]. The invasion, colonization and cumulative indices in the houses and the positivity index in shelters near houses were very low and similar in the three groups, in the 15 months of evaluation, indicating that alphacypermethrin can replace cypermethrin. Triatoma infestans predominated in the Domiciliary Units before treatment and T. brasiliensis and T. pseudomaculata predominated after it.

O tratamento específico como arma no controle da esquistossomose

The specific treatment of schistosomiasis has been though to prevent or revert severe forms of the disease, since 1957. Starting in 1977, prospective and controlled studies performed in different endemic areas of Brazil were able to confirm such facts. The new drugs, of high efficacy and well tolerated - Oxamniquine and Praziquantel - can actually prevent and cure the severe forms of some patients, contributing to change the morbidity pattern of the disease, thus being considered as important weapons in its control. Analysis of the Brazilian articles on the subject is presented.

Controle da esquistossomose mansônica em área de baixa transmissao

The schistosomiasis is transmitted by Biomphalaria tenagophila in our study area (Pedro de Toledo, Sao Paulo, Brazil). From 1980 to 1990 epidemiological surveys in a population of 4.000 inhabitants, has shown that: prevalence Kato-Katz (KKT), immunofluorescence (FT) and intradermal (IDT) techniques were 22.8%, 55.5% and 51.8% respectively; intensity of infection was low, 58.5 eggs per gram of faeces (epg); there were no symptomatic cases; prevalences were higher in mates, children and rural zone; index of potential contamination was 57.5% in the age group 5 to 20 years; 2/3 of patients were autochtonous; cases were no-randomly aggregated; transmission was focal and only 0.4% of snails were infected; water contacts through recreation showed the most important odds ratio; knowledge, attitudes and practices were satisfatory. From the epidemiological control findings a control programme was carried out; yearly faeces exams, chemotherapy, molluscocide, health education and sanitation. Thus, the prevalence decreased sharply to 3.3% and intensity of infection to 30.3 epg; the incidence rates ranged between 0.4% and 2.5% annualy; the sanitation became better and the youngsters were the main target in prophylaxis. To improve control, immunodiagnosis has to be conducted and the involvment of the population should be increase. However, we cannot forget that re-infection and the involvment of the population should be increase. However, we cannot forget that re-infection, therapeutic failure, etc, could play a major role in the maintnance this residual prevalence.

Medidas de controle

The control measures preconized by Ministério da Saúde/Fundaçao Nacional de Saúde for 1990/1991, started to have a new focus when significant advances were evidenced in the two last decades and after internal meetings with participation of the cientific community interested in accompanting the actions directed to the control of schistosomiasis in our country. Since then, the priority started to be the suppressing of the occurence of advanced clinical forms, having as an objective, the detection and treatment of all carrier of Schistosoma mansoni. Beyond the control measures, factors that may interfere in the application of those measures were also boarded, the diverse phasis of field operations, the work methodology and results obtained in the first semester of 1991.

Mejora del medio ambiente y nivel de desarrollo: elementos explicativos de las diferentes opciones en los programas de desarrollo rural (2007-2013) de la Unión Europea

Los programas de desarrollo rural del actual período de programación (2007-13) se han estructurado en 4 ejes. El eje 2 correspondiente a la Mejora del medio ambiente y del entorno rural es, con casi la mitad de los recursos públicos, el principal. El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar los elementos que explican los diferentes niveles de gasto adjudicados a este eje, que oscilan entre el 82,5% y el 25% del gasto público total según Estado Miembro. Se aprecia que el nivel de gasto en el eje 2 está correlacionado con el nivel de renta pero no guarda relación alguna con los indicadores que la Comisión Europea ha establecido en la priorización del la problemática e interés agroambiental de los diferentes territorios europeos.

La reincidencia de los condenados por delitos de violencia de género a programas formativos aplicados desde la ejecución penal en la comunidad

Esta es la segunda parte del estudio iniciado en el 2008 donde se ha evaluado la eficacia de los programas formativos a los que se condena determinados infractores de violencia de género. En esta segunda parte, se hace el seguimiento al cabo de 1 año de haber terminado la intervención de Justicia, para conocer si existe nueva reincidencia, entendida como nueva denuncia policial. También se ha conectado telefónicamente con los participantes en el estudio para conocer su valoración respecto la intervención de Justicia y su vida actual.

Librería para análisis dinámico de programas

Este proyecto consiste en el diseño y desarrollo de una librería de interposición de propósito general en lenguaje C para la plataforma GNU/Linux, así como de un prototipo para demostrar la utilidad de la librería. La idea es que dicha librería se pueda utilizar en aquellos programas que necesiten modificar el comportamiento de otros programas, interceptar las llamadas al sistema y, en un sentido amplio, obtener información sobre las actividades de otros procesos en tiempo real. Por tanto, se tratará de diseñar un marco adecuado para futuros proyectos relacionados con el análisis de software. Se pretende también realizar un estudio que permita conocer las diferentes técnicas de depuración, diagnóstico y optimización de aplicaciones, y el software libre existente para realizar dichas tareas.

Guía para el desarrollo de Programas de intercambio de Jeringuillas (PIJ) desde la consulta de triage de los Dispositivos de Cuidados Críticos y Urgencias (DCCU)

There are exceptional situations where emergency services are required Primary Care in the application of material used by drug-dependent patients, being the response to this demand is something that many of the cases, to individual discretion and the randomness and variability every situation leads to an answer. It calls for a response commensurate to public services and preventive health philosophy in most cases will be carried out by the nurse to perform assistance Devices Critical Care (DCCU), often this first contact these patients and slots at the supply of resources diminishes the possibilities of acquisition of such material to them. That is why, and in the absence in this area of patient safety and professional, a workflow model and according to the prevailing philosophy of working in primary care in terms of prevention policies and recruitment of patients concerned, this project raises guidance for the development of a needle exchange program from the triage consultations DCCU.

¿Es el conferencing una herramienta útil para los programas de mediación en el ámbito penal del Departamento de Justicia?

El estudio analiza la práctica del conferencing en 4 países (Nueva Zelanda, Australia, Irlanda del Norte y Bélgica), y efectúa un estudio empírico que recoge las percepciones de los mediadores sobre si esta práctica restaurativa puede ser una herramienta útil para los programas de mediación en el ámbito penal.
