In order to determine the prevalence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies, 2000 serum samples from female dairy cattle belonging to 50 farms in the southwest of Mato Grosso state were analyzed by the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT >= 64). Serum samples from 61 dogs (IFAT >= 40) and 116 humans (IFAT = 40), all from the same farm, were also tested. Among these samples, 1420 (71.0%) cattle, 54 (88.5%) dogs, and 113 (97.4%) humans were seropositive for the infection. No significant differences (P >= 0.05) were observed for risk factors associated with the occurrence of toxoplasmosis in humans due to contaminated sources such as fresh milk, cheese/sausage, and contact with felines or other animals. The presence of felines can indicate the likelihood of a contaminated environment, posing a risk to the human population and other animals. The work presented herein is the first report to evaluate the seroprevalence of T gondii in bovines from the Southwest region of the Mato Grosso state, Brazil. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

This research work intends to carry out a study focused on the dynamic between development, poverty reduction and conservation of natural resources. To consider this relationship to the region chosen was the micro-region of Eastern and Western Seridó in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. In recent years, several studies (Araújo, 2011; BASTOS, 2009) have pointed out that after a period of economic crisis in its tripodproductive, formed by the activities of farming, cotton farming, mining and faced in the eighties, this region of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, has not only shown signs of economic recovery but also improve their social indicators. On the other hand, studies of desertification as the view of the state of RN (produced in cooperation between the Government of RN and research institutions) and the Sustainable Development Plan of Seridó (ADES, 2000), indicate that there is an ongoing French process of degradation of natural resources that is capable of compromising the ability of sustaining such a system. To verify this reality and likely finding this relationship, this work is adopted for this study, the analysis of evolution of secondary data from official bodies such as the IBGE on HDI, per capita income and other social indicators between 2000 and 2009. Here is another time of the survey analysis of qualitative data collected from interviews with institutions of academic intervention in nature, researchers at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) State agencies that address the issue of the Middle Environment in Seridó: Institute for Sustainable Development of the NB (IDEMA) and the Brazilian Institute of Environment and the Amazon (IBAMA) and institutions of direct intervention in the region, as the Agency's Sustainable Development Seridó (adhesive) and the Joint Semi-Arid (ASA). After crossing data from quantitative and qualitative, it was found that the dynamics of the region's economic Seridó Potiguar partially answers the improvement of social indicators of poverty. Contribution by the State in this shared stock transfer income. Regarding the influence of productive restructuring in the region on issues of environment, it is noted that the ceramic tile industry, responsible for the absorption percentage of the population with limited ingress into the urban economy, given the low education, accounts for the increase of susceptibility to the ongoing process of desertification in North Seridó Rio Grande. We conclude finally that the guarantee of increased income, freedom and conservation of natural resources ensures primarily by changing the beliefs and values, especially on the part of the business sector, which use natural resources so predatory, aimed at maintaining their rates of return on investment. And concomitantly, the synchronization between technological change, through the use of new energy sources, and institutional change.

O escopo deste trabalho buscou compreender as percepções de mulheres que passaram pela decisão do aborto provocadona Microrregião de São Mateus (norte do estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil), a partir do percurso e das interações que se sustentaram nesse processo. Foram realizadas entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado com sete mulheres sobre essa experiência no ambiente domiciliar dos sujeitos do presente estudo. Os dados foram colhidos em entrevistas abertas e foram analisados à luz do referencial teórico de autores que discorrem acerca do tema e também acerca da ciência bioética.O estudo apresenta seis categorias: O aborto na perspectiva da decisão íntima; o aborto como fonte de revelações de sentimentos; o contemplar peremptório da atitude;técnicas empregadas na intencionalidade e no ato de abortar; sustentando a decisão pelas relações comunitárias; e conteúdos e confidências femininas. A experiência das mulheres foi marcada poruma diversidade de sentimentos, como tristeza, culpa, arrependimento, desespero e dor emocional, todavia, também, pelo alívio com o fim da gravidez e do risco de morte. Angústia adicional foi condicionadaa partir da percepção de fatores contribuintes da decisão, como falta de condições financeiras, falta de apoio da família ou do parceiro e instabilidade no relacionamento com parceiro. Este estudo também sinalizou que o caráter cultural e histórico da gestação, no sentido da norma social, faz-se presente nas mulheres que vivenciam o aborto provocado; demonstrou que as mulheres do presente estudo encontram-se à margem das políticas públicas e de saúde; assinalou que os programas de planejamento familiar ou de saúde reprodutiva deveriam ser estruturados de forma a ajudar também a lidar com problemas de destituição social, econômica e educacional dessa população vulnerada, no sentido de que essas mulheres ultrapassem a proteção social básica e sejam amparadas por serviços de saúde, que constituam espaços equânimes de escuta, orientação e resolução.

Periodontal disease (PD) is widely known among veterinarians for its high prevalence and serious consequences to the dogs. The objective of this study was to assess the occurrence of PD in dogs that live in the micro-region of Viçosa, treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Viçosa (HVT - Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Viçosa), as well as to assess how aware of this disease dog owners are. In order to do so, all dogs treated at the HVT from March 10th, 2009 to November 30th, 2009, on alternate days, had their oral cavities examined. Medical history data, such as age, type of food, main complaint and owner consent, halitosis, presence of dental calculus, inflammation and gingival recession and tooth loss, were collected. A prevalence of 88.67% was found for PD in dogs referred to the HVT, and 2.67% were referred due to this disease. Of all the owners who participated in the study, 43.83% knew about periodontal disease and of these 17.46% made use of some type of prevention or treatment. Therefore, periodontal disease is highly prevalent and the owners are not aware of the disease. Thus, a dog owner clarification program on periodontal disease is needed in the area where HVT-UFV operates.

RESUMO: A integração da saúde mental à atenção básica é a recomendação feita para facilitar o acesso ao tratamento. A pesquisa teve por objetivo mapear e analisar os facilitadores e as barreiras ao acesso ao tratamento em saúde mental da Microrregião de Itajubá, estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, composta por 15 municípios. A metodologia pautou-se na triangulação dos métodos, combinando a abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa de pesquisa. Para tal foi feito o mapeamento da capacidade instalada dos recursos existentes e identificação das principais lacunas com base nos parâmetros da saúde pública, a partir de roteiros de entrevistas e grupos focais com os principais atores sociais implicados. Constatou-se que o maior facilitador ao acesso ao tratamento tem sido a atuação das equipes de PSF (Programa Saúde da Família), que atuam diretamente nas comunidades. Outros facilitadores foram: a atuação dos CRAS (Centro de Referência de Assistência Social); a existência de um CAPS (Centro de Atenção Psicossocial), embora não credenciado ao SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde); Colegiados de Saúde Mental que promovem discussões, informação, educação, e pressionam os municípios para a implantação de serviços de saúde mental. A falta de “vontade política”, isto é, uma intervenção mais clara da gestão pública da saúde, com estabelecimento de prioridades para prover a ampliação do acesso, foi identificada como a maior barreira a ser enfrentada na microrregião, especialmente por falta de organização e planejamento das ações em saúde mental. Serviços que trabalham de forma isolada, sem a construção de uma rede; pouca participação política dos usuários dos serviços de saúde mental; e falta de recursos humanos, e profissionais pouco preparados para a função compõem as outras barreiras de acesso. Vê-se que diante dos facilitadores e barreiras expostos é preciso que os municípios realizem um levantamento sistemático, a fim de criar um plano de ação em saúde mental para compartilhar informações, recursos, serviços, disponibilidade, disposição e ações em rede.-------------- ABSTRACT: Integrating mental health care in primary-care services is recommended in order to improve access to treatment. Access to mental health treatment has been a worldwide debated theme. In Brazil, with the Psychiatric Reform, there has been a change of paradigm in the way of treating persons with mental disorders. Various health devices were created, building a net of treatment and care that replaces the asylum system and where human rights are respected and defended and the offered treatment is the closest possible to their social space. The research aims to map and analyse the barriers and the facilitators to mental health treatment in the micro-region of Itajubá, state of Minas Gerais/Brazil, made up of 15 counties. The methodology was based on the triangulation of methods, combining quantitative and qualitative research. For that, a mapping of the installed capacity of the existent resource was carried out; identification of the main voids based on the parameters of public health through scripts of interviews and focus groups with the social actors involved. It was found that the main facilitator to treatment has been the performance of PSF, who act directly in the communities. Other facilitators also stand out: the work of CRAS; the existence of CAPS, although not accredited to SUS; Mental Health Collegiate, promoting discussions, information, education, and forcing pressure on the counties for the implantation of mental health services. The lack of political will was identified as the major barrier to be faced in the micro-region, especially due to lack of organization and planning in the actions towards mental health. The services working isolatedly, without a communication net, and the lack of human resources as well as poorly prepared professional, are the main difficulties faced by access to mental health treatment. Becomes clear that the counties need to undertake a systematic survey towards creating a plan of action in mental health, in order to share information, resources, services, availability, disposition and networking.

SPOAN is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder which was recently characterized by our group in a large inbred Brazilian family with 25 affected individuals. This condition is clinically defined by: 1. congenital optic atrophy; 2. progressive spastic paraplegia with onset in infancy; and 3. progressive motor and sensory axonal neuropathy. Overall, we are now aware of 68 SPOAN patients (45 females and 23 males, with age ranging from 5 to 72 years), 44 of which are presented here for the first time. They were all born in the same geographic micro region. Those 68 patients belong to 43 sibships, 40 of which exhibit parental consanguinity. Sixty-one patients were fully clinically evaluated and 64 were included in the genetic investigation. All molecularly studied patients are homozygotes for D11S1889 at 11q13. This enabled us to reduce the critical region for the SPOAN gene from 4.8 to 2.3 Mb, with a maximum two point lod score of 33.2 (with marker D11S987) and of 27.0 (with marker D11S1889). Three genes located in this newly defined critical region were sequenced, but no pathogenic mutation was detected. The gene responsible for SPOAN remains elusive.

No Brasil nao e raro a criação de Programas pelas autoridades governamentais, para atender. determina da situação conjuntural ou para direcionar os esforços de pro . .' dução a uma atividade específica. Ocorre, porém, na maioria das vezes que não se criam -- simultaneamente ã formulação-instr~ mentos efetivos para sua avaliação e assim, os programas se agigantam e -introdu~em seus próprios mecanismos de de fesa para sua autopreservação. Este trabalho objetiva avaliar um deles --- o PROAGRO - Programa de Garantia da Atividade Agropecuá - ria --- através de uma confrontação entre a visão de seus for muladores e,a dos diversos agentes que atuam na operaciona lização do programa, em uma microrregião homogênea do LB.G. E., constituída pelos segu~ntes municípios: Carazinho, Chap! da, Coronel Bicaco, Palmeira das Missões, Passo Fundo e Santo Augusto, todos situados no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Com ênfase nos aspectos de formulação de políticas públicas, este trabalho foi desenvolvido dentro de uma sistemática, cuj as idé"'ias básicas discriminamos a seguir: descrição da importância do PROAGRO e, em virtude dele estar intimamente vinculado ao Sistema Nacional de Crédito Rural, dos objetivos, do desempenho e das disfunções desse Sistema. Como corolário, constata-se que pou cos agricultores têm acesso ao crédito rural institucio na1izado e entre seus beneficiários há uma concentração excessiva dos recursos; - registros dos antecedentes da implantação do seguro agrícola no Brasil, inclusive a experiência frustrada da Companhia Nacional de Seguro Agrícola (1954-1966); - análise do conteúdo formal da política e do desempenho em termos financeiros. ao longo dos se'is primeiros anos de atuação. Em decorrência emerge o fato' de que o programa vem sofrendo constantes déficits e há uma concentração excessiva na utilização de recursos por um tipo de cultura· (trigo) em uma determinada região (Sul); divulgação do resultado da pesquisa-junto aos vários a gentes que atuam no programa e dentre outras conclusões, ·1. constatam-se~indfcios de que o objetivo de auxílio na utilização de tecnologia moderna -- apregoada pelas suas normas -- nãR vem sendo atingido, oco~rendo, em alguns casos, o inverso, ou seja, a acomodação dos agricultores; - descrição dos modelos de seguro agrícola de três ses, Estados Unidos, México e Japão, para fornecer sub sídios ã análise do programa. t marcante a preocupa - ção do governo desses países em manter o programa dentro de critérios exclusivamente técnicos, lastreados em cálculos atuariais para definição dos percentuais de prêmios a serem cobrados; - comparação entre as duas visões descritas e as suges - tões dos modelos de outros países citados. Conclui-se pela necessidade de assegurar ao programa um maior rigor técnico na condução das operações de seguro e com ênfase apenas na forma de administração, propõe-se duas altern~tivas para consolidação do seguro agrícola no Brasil, a saber: 1) o aperfeiçoamento do programa; 2) a transferência gradativa para esfera do Sistema de Seguro Rural, com a vigilância e aporte financeiro do Governo Federal.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar a viabilidade econômica da produção consorciada de cacau e banana na região do Perímetro Irrigado Tabuleiro de São Bernardo nos municípios de Magalhães de Almeida e Araioses, estado do Maranhão (MA), tendo em vista a ampla disponibilidade de recursos naturais para o cultivo e a potencialidade de ser uma região de escape das principais doenças que afetam as culturas de cacau e banana. O trabalho verifica a oportunidade de negócio de produção de cacau e banana na região do rio Parnaíba. O estudo utiliza projeções de fluxo de caixa e os desconta para o Valor Presente Líquido (VPL) para aferir a viabilidade econômica do negócio de produção de cacaueiro e bananeira nesta região do Brasil. Foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográficas para analisar as características edafoclimáticas da microrregião, as características fisiológicas do cacaueiro e seu consórcio com a bananeira para o sombreamento temporário necessário durante a fase de crescimento do cacaueiro. Foi sugerido o pacote de alta tecnologia para a produção de cacaueiro, dada a necessidade de irrigação para o seu cultivo. Diferentes produtividades e preços de cacau e banana foram utilizados para analisar a sensibilidade económica deste negócio. Ao projetar um fluxo de caixa, foi possível fazer uma análise sobre o negócio, viabilidade e riscos. Deve-se notar que não há grandes áreas produtoras de cacau na região do rio Parnaíba. Porém, há pequenas áreas de cacau em regiões semiáridas (ou de cerrado). Assim, a produção vegetal carece de comprovação de produção em larga escala para atestar de modo prático algumas das premissas econômico-financeiras adotadas para analisar a viabilidade da produção de cacau e banana no Perímetro Irrigado Tabuleiro de São Bernardo.

This work examines the connection Syndicate/teachers profession trying to unveil the important role taken over by the Syndical movement in the process of professionalization of the militant teachers. For that, it describes and analyses the historical course of three Syndicates representatives of the teachers category Associação dos Professores Licenciados da Bahia APLB; Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Educação de Pernambuco SINTEPE; Sindicato dos Servidores Municipais de Petrolina SINDSEMP acting in the micro-region of the San Francisco Valley, especially, in the municipalities of Juazeiro Bahia , and of Petrolina Pernambuco. It concentrates its interests on the contribution of the Syndicates for the professional development of these teachers in this region analysing the aspects related to emerging conflicts into the Syndical organization, to the attitude of these entities before the educational reality to their reinvindicative struggles to the formative dimension of the group actions. This study tries to answer the following questions: How has this syndical movement of teachers of state school of S. Francisco Valley been characterized? How do their actions reflect in the formation and professionalization of the teachers? Do teachers recognize the syndicate as a constructive space for the teaching profession? The methodological trajectory was directed through a qualitative approach of an etnomethodological character, using instruments for the understanding of this reality, The treatment of the data was based on the interpretative analysis of the speeches present in documents and through answers of the interviwees, having as a reference in this analysis the theoretical studies about syndicalism and the teacher professionalization. For a conceptual construction of this work it was studied these two categories from their genesis, from the social historical evolution of their concepts and the up to date discussions that give explanations about the teachers syndical movement and about the process of teachers professionalization. As thesis of this study it was defended the idea of that the teachers syndicates have contributed expressively in the process of the construction of the teacher profession of the militant teachers of this in the micro-region of the S. Francisco Valley. Once the teachers participate actively in this movement promoted by the syndical entities, the teachers develop the critical sense of the educational realty; improve their formation and reinvindicate from the State this condition as a Right; fight for better conditions in the work; reinvindicate the salary valuation and, try to construct an image of teacher basing on a professional model. The contribution of the Syndicate in the process of teachers profissionalization, is more evident in its external dimension that chacterizes the profissionalism, on the related aspects: to the forms of participation in the definition and the management of the educational politics; to the political struggles for the achievements of the professional status, to the recognition and of his eventual valuation. The syndical actions have repercussions with less intensity in the inside dimension that defines the profissionality, in the related aspects: to the administratation of the pedagogical processes in schools and in the classroom; to the acquisition of branches of knowledges; to the epistemological criticism of the acquirements mobilized in the teaching; the curricular question to the mediation that make possible the learning at school and in the classroom

The issue of multi-classes in schools from the field and methodology for these classes is controversial and contentious, both in terms of teaching, monitoring and organizational, is the perspective of values, training and systematization of public policy. Why the strategy Methodological Active School facing those classes appeared as a significant and exciting topic of research. Thus, it was aimed to apprehend the social representations of active school by teachers (s) to understand the extent to which these representations influence the acceptance and use of the program strategies. Perceiving and analyzing also the various factors related to the management, monitoring and training needs of (the) teachers as alternatives to make this meaningful action. The study focused 112 teachers (s), which for over a year, worked in the program in six municipalities in the micro-region of Rio Grande do Norte / RN - Areia Branca, Baraúna, Grossos, Mossoró, Serra do Mel and Tibau. From this perspective relied on Social Representation Theory and the Theory of the Central Core, attending to the subjectivity of the object searched, inserted in the psychosocial field of knowledge, we opted for multi-methodological approach, using quantitative and qualitative techniques. However, the highlight was a projective technique Free Association of Words from the term Active School is .... The words were systematized by EVOC program, and also applied semi-structured interviews, focusing specific issues that led to trace the socio-demographic profile of (the) participants and wider issues about the object of study. The evocations, justifications and interviews provided the basis for the analysis of the content that followed the steps: formation of the corpus, the composition of the analysis and categorization. The results show the representations an attitude of acceptance and positive appraisal of the participants to the Active School Program. At the core, these representations are objectified around the words "action", "learning", "autonomy" and "interaction". Based on the premise that the representations have a duty to guide the practices and behavior, one can see that the positive attitude of the group favors a systematic methodology and acceptance of the program, but we must look at the changes in management, training, monitoring of (the) teachers (s) and support to schools.

The research was carried out in the urban area in Codó-MA, a small city the east part of Maranhão, which has 4,228.000 km2 (IBGE, 2000) and population of 113,768 hab. (IBGE, 2008). The city is also inside Codó-MA micro-region. The city is located in one of the lacking area in Brazil, where the Human Development Index (IDH) is approximately 0,558. It does not present an adequate model of management when talking about solid residue collecting. All of the solid residue produced and collected in the city is stored in an open area that they call lixão , which is located in a residence area in the suburbs. Because of that, a problem that involves public health and environmental areas, we understand it is necessary to investigate the way the local government treats and manages the solid residue collecting, as well as, the social, economical and productive reality of those who are directly involved in the collecting itself, its productive chain of the material, including the handling, transportation and its final destiny. It means a social, productive, economical diagnosis, that in a such way,the local society and the organs of inspection can act in a better way to control the problems that include solid urban residue and come from a bad administration. That way, this work proposes to carry out a study that has as result a diagnosis with feasible alternatives on management, taking as basis, social and economical aspects that compound this productive chain. This work can bring great contributions to a better local reality through the introduction of an integrated and supported system of management of solid residue that includes a selective collecting and the creation of a sanitary area. Taking that into consideration, we can contribute to minimize the environmental impacts in Codó Novo, caused by the garbage
