A história do centro de educação integrada Monsenhor Honório: surgimento e contribuições (Macau /RN - 1956 1966)

The present study objective to construct to the Education‟s History of Centro de Educação Integrada Monsenhor Honório in Macau, in the state of the Rio Grande do Norte. By means of the examination of this Institution of education, we intend to analyze its educative practical in the Fifties years, that this was the first one to offer gymnasial course and, over all, for having formed doctors, engineers, teachers, bachelors and economists in the city and the region during five decades of functioning. For this we use the records as documentary sources available in the institution, in newspapers and in public and private archives in the capital and the interior, beyond interview with former-employees, former-pupils and people who had participated of its creation and, consequently, they had made and they are part of this history. The institution‟s history helped to us to comment the reading of Macau‟s education, propitiating us reflections about pedagogical practical, methods of teaching and school regiment, in the perspective to understand a past still so present and all process for which passed the education, in the context of the proper Macau‟s history. The search results lead us to evidence that the creation of this school, in 1956, represented a landmark in the education of this municipal district, contributing of decisive form in the formation of the macauenses

Currículo e seus significados para os sujeitos de uma escola ribeirinha, multisseriada no município de Cametá - Pará

A presente pesquisa investiga o Currículo e seus significados para os sujeitos de uma escola ribeirinha, multisseriada no município de Cametá - Pará, no qual se objetivou analisar como se define e materializa-se o currículo na escola multisseriada ribeirinha, identificando quais significados são atribuídos ao currículo escolar pelos alunos, pais, comunitários e a professora. Esse estudo se desenvolveu na Ilha Joroca, na localidade Jorocazinho de Baixo, uma comunidade com uma base organizacional relevante, que tem despertado curiosidade cientifica em outras áreas; foi beneficiada com vários projetos do governo federal e possuí quatro escolas em seu entorno. A investigação ocorreu na Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Jorocazinho, onde se buscou conhecer inicialmente o contexto da comunidade ribeirinha no campo das organizações e suas práticas educativas observando quais experiências de currículo perpassam esse cenário e, em seguida priorizou-se compreender a materialização do currículo e seus significados na voz dos sujeitos da escola. Nesse sentido, os educandos, pais, comunitários e a professora foram os principais interlocutores da pesquisa e suas narrativas destacaram-se como objeto de estudo e análise. Os aportes teóricos utilizados para análise dos depoimentos coletados pautaram-se nos estudos de Apple, Arroyo, Vygotsky, Freire, Vasconcelos e Cagliari. Os dois primeiros autores se incluem no texto relacionando-se aos depoimentos dos sujeitos ribeirinhos ao currículo e sua materialização, enquanto os demais serviram de base, para a análise das falas referentes aos significados do currículo. O estudo, as análises focaram os seguintes eixos temáticos: A materialização do currículo na escola multisseriada ribeirinha; O currículo e seus significados para as lideranças comunitárias, pais de alunos e a professora; O significado do currículo escolar para os educandos; O significado do “aprender a ler” para educandos ribeirinhos. Essa discussão fundamenta-se numa abordagem qualitativa, e se desenvolveu através de uma pesquisa exploratória seguida da observação participante. Empregaram-se como procedimentos técnicos metodológicos: entrevistas narrativas e semi - estruturada, a análise documental do planejamento curricular da escola, do livro didático utilizado para leitura dos educandos em sala de aula; de imagens fotográficas e de desenhos dos estudantes. Como resultado, identificamos que a escola ribeirinha multisseriada necessita de mais atenção do governo municipal e os educadores de melhor acompanhamento e orientação em suas práticas educativas; as práticas de alfabetização devem assumir como dimensão prioritária nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental; Existe um descaso em relação às questões de: infra-estrutura, didático/pedagógico e financeira; as políticas públicas de educação do município para a escola ribeirinha é precarizada; o que se tem enquanto currículos na escola multisseriada, são: uma “listagem de conteúdos” descontextualizados e a forma de organização da educação ribeirinha é fundamentalmente “urbanocêntrica”. Indica-se, portanto que, a educação ribeirinha precisa ser valorizada enquanto espaço de construção do conhecimento, a partir da valorização dos saberes culturais ribeirinhos, despertando-os para uma leitura de mundo e para construção de novos sujeitos políticos e sociais sintonizados com a sua territorialidade e identidade cultural.

Medicinal plants in pregnancy and lactation: perception of the health risk and practical educational group in Araraquara, São Paulo State, Brazil

The use of medicinal plants among pregnant women and lactating is a common practice in diverse countries. However, many medicinal plants are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactating, due to various adverse effects, such as teratogenic, embryotoxic and abortive effects, exposing these women, their fetus and babies to health unknown risks. Thus, the purpose of this commentary, was to analyze the perception about the use of medicinal plants by pregnant women and lactating registered in the "baby on board" NGO, Araraquara, São Paulo state, Brazil, between 2010 at 2013. The group was constituted by 48 women, between the first and last trimester of pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding. Information was collected during group meetings by oral interview, using a questionnaire, as script. The nature of the study was a qualitative analysis. The results were based on reports about the use of medicinal plants by pregnant women during group meetings: use, indication of use, knowledge about risks. All participants received written and oral information about the study and they gave a written informed consent. The use of medicinal plants is a reality among pregnant and lactating women of the "baby on board" NGO. They reported that they feel that "natural" products are not harmful for their health. The primary information sources for the majority of women about medicinal plants during pregnancy are family, neighbors and herbalists. The plants most cited (in popular name in Brazil) were: senna, chamomile, boldo, lemon balm, lemon grass. They were used mainly for: nausea, heartburn, indigestion, flatulence, intestinal and abdominal pain, anxiety, intestinal constipation and low milk production. The pregnant and lactating women lacked knowledge about the health risks of the use of medicinal plants and herbal medicines in pregnancy and lactation. They also reported difficulties in clarifying some questions about the use of medicinal plants with their doctors. The results of the present study showed that educative actions about the rational use of medicinal plants in pregnancy and breastfeeding could be part of the operating protocols to promote the maternal and child health programs in Araraquara. Thus, our results also suggest the importance of creating institutionalized places, to the implementation of continued education programs about rational use of medicinal plants in pregnancy and lactation. These targeted programs are not only for health professionals, but also for community members, pregnant women and breastfeeding. Our results pointed out the importance of guidance of doctors and healthcare professionals on the scientific studies about medicinal plants and herbal medicines and the risk/benefit of using herbs during pregnancy. Finally, it is noted the importance of the health professionals to inform women of childbearing on risks to their health, as well as on possibilities of utilization of herbs during fertile period, giving special attention to the potential risk of self-medication.

Carotenoids Are Effective Inhibitors Of In Vitro Hemolysis Of Human Erythrocytes, As Determined By A Practical And Optimized Cellular Antioxidant Assay.

β-Carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, β-cryptoxanthin, and lycopene are liposoluble pigments widely distributed in vegetables and fruits and, after ingestion, these compounds are usually detected in human blood plasma. In this study, we evaluated their potential to inhibit hemolysis of human erythrocytes, as mediated by the toxicity of peroxyl radicals (ROO•). Thus, 2,2'-azobis (2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH) was used as ROO• generator and the hemolysis assay was carried out in experimental conditions optimized by response surface methodology, and successfully adapted to microplate assay. The optimized conditions were verified at 30 × 10(6) cells/mL, 17 mM of AAPH for 3 h, at which 48 ± 5% of hemolysis was achieved in freshly isolated erythrocytes. Among the tested carotenoids, lycopene (IC(50) = 0.24 ± 0.05 μM) was the most efficient to prevent the hemolysis, followed by β-carotene (0.32 ± 0.02 μM), lutein (0.38 ± 0.02 μM), and zeaxanthin (0.43 ± 0.02 μM). These carotenoids were at least 5 times more effective than quercetin, trolox, and ascorbic acid (positive controls). β-Cryptoxanthin did not present any erythroprotective effect, but rather induced a hemolytic effect at the highest tested concentration (3 μM). These results suggest that selected carotenoids may have potential to act as important erythroprotective agents by preventing ROO•-induced toxicity in human erythrocytes.

A medição da grandeza practical peak voltage na prática radiológica

OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a grandeza practical peak voltage (PPV), determinada a partir da forma de onda de tensão aplicada a tubos radiológicos, e compará-la com algumas definições de kVp para diferentes tipos de geradores: monofásico (onda completa, clínico), trifásico (seis pulsos, clínico) e potencial constante (industrial). MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: O trabalho envolveu a comparação do PPV medido invasivamente (utilizando um divisor de tensão) com a resposta de dois medidores comerciais não invasivos, além dos valores de outras grandezas usadas para medição da tensão de pico aplicada ao tubo de raios X, e a análise da variação do PPV com a ondulação percentual da tensão (ripple). RESULTADOS: Verificou-se que a diferença entre o PPV e as definições mais comuns de tensão de pico aumenta com o ripple. Os valores de PPV variaram em até 3% e 5%, respectivamente, na comparação entre medições invasivas e não invasivas feitas com os equipamentos trifásico e monofásico. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados demonstraram que a principal grandeza de influência que afeta o PPV é o ripple da tensão. Adicionalmente, valores de PPV obtidos com medidores não invasivos devem ser avaliados considerando que eles dependem da taxa de aquisição e da forma de onda adquirida pelo instrumento.

High-Dose Antipsychotic Medication; A Practical Pocket Checklist

There is evidence that a significant number of patients with schizophrenia and other chronic psychotic psychosis are prescribed high-dose antipsychotic drugs despite the fact that clinical guidelines recommend the routine use of a single antipsychotic drug in a standard dose. The prescriptions for high-dose and combined antipsychotic drugs are relatively common in clinical practice. This occurs despite the fact that results of published trials of high-dose antipsychotic drug treatment for schizophrenia provide little evidence to support effectiveness of using high-dose antipsychotic treatment and most importantly such strategy is not recommended. Moreover, there is mounting evidence of higher incidence of side effects and mortality associated with high dose antipsychotic treatment. Therefore we are presenting a practical pocket checklist which is aimed at minimizing predicted and unpredicted side effects during such treatments.
