Published: November 2021

This study explores the level of physical activity and its associations with sociodemographics and body mass index (BMI) in the Southern Great Plain region of Hungary. A total of 1648 adults (Men = 572; Women = 1076) were involved in this study. Their mean age was 43.0 (SD = 15.3), and they were recruited at different face-to-face events from July 2018 to January 2019. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess physical activity, and the participants were asked different questions related to their sociodemographics (e.g., education, income) and physical attributes (e.g., height, weight). Additionally, a descriptive statistical, chi-square test was used the see the gender differences, and multinominal regression analysis was used to see the associations between gender, age, place of residence, education, income, BMI, and physical activity levels. Our analysis showed that 19.2% of the sample had a low-, 41.1% had a moderate-, and 39.7% had a high level of physical activity. Furthermore, a high and a moderate level of physical activity were associated with gender, age, residence, education, and BMI. We believe this present study helps understand the role of physical activity in health through the example of the Southern Great Plain region of Hungary, which can provide useful information for experts to increase participation in regular physical activity.

Published: November 2021

Telemedicine represents a major opportunity to facilitate continued assistance for patients with chronic pain and improve their access to care. Preliminary data show that an improvement can be expected of the monitoring, treatment adherence, assessment of treatment effect including the emotional distress associated with pain. Moreover, this approach seems to be convenient and cost-effective, and particularly suitable for personalized treatment. Nevertheless, several open issues must be highlighted such as identification of assessment tools, implementation of monitoring instruments, and ability to evaluate personal needs and expectations. Open questions exist, such as how to evaluate the need for medical intervention and interventional procedures, and how to define when a clinical examination is required for certain conditions. In this context, it is necessary to establish dynamic protocols that provide the right balance between face-to-face visits and telemedicine. Useful tips are provided to start an efficient experience. More data are needed to develop precise operating procedures. In the meantime, the first experiences from such settings can pave the way to initiate effective care pathways in chronic pain.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of masks has been recommended as a containment measure. The mask is a hindrance to normal breathing that causes discomfort. This could put more work on the respiratory accessory muscles, and, consequently, these muscles could see their tone increase. For this reason, during this clinical trial (registered in clincaltrials.gov, number: NCT04789603), it was observed whether the use of the mask produced changes in the distance traveled, in the heart rate, in the oxygenometry, in the self-perceived dyspnea and in the tone of accessory respiratory muscles during a 6-min walk test (6MWT). Fifty healthy volunteers were recruited and carried out the 6MWT on three occasions. They carried out the 6MWT in various situations: using an FFP2/N95 mask, using a surgical mask, and without using a mask. The distance walked, the heart rate, the oxygen therapy, the tone of the accessory respiratory muscles, and the self-perceived dyspnea were recorded in each situation. Significant differences were found between the three situations in terms of self-perceived dyspnea FFP2/N95 > surgical mask > no mask. However, there are no differences between the experimental situations during the 6MWT in terms of distance travelled, heart rate, oxygenometry or respiratory muscle tone.

Authors: Incaltarau Cristian , Horodnic Adrian V. , Williams Colin C. , Oprea Liviu
Published: November 2021

Healthcare accessibility and equity remain important issues, as corruption in the form of informal payments is still prevalent in many countries across the world. This study employs a panel data analysis over the 2006–2013 period to explore the role of different institutional factors in explaining the prevalence of informal payments. Covering 117 countries, our findings confirm the significant role of both formal and informal institutions. Good governance, a higher trust among individuals, and a higher commitment to tackling corruption are associated with diminishing informal payments. In addition, higher shares of private finance, such as out-of-pocket and domestic private health expenditure, are also correlated with a lower prevalence of informal payments. In policy terms, this displays how correcting institutional imperfections may be among the most efficient ways to tackle informal payments in healthcare.
Is Ecological Birdwatching Tourism a More Effective Way to Transform the Value of Ecosystem Services?—A Case Study of Birdwatching Destinations in Mingxi County, China

Published: November 2021

Ecological birdwatching tourism is an ecological product and an essential part of ecotourism, and the realization of its recreation value is crucial for improving human well-being, and realization of the local benefits of ecosystem services for areas focused on biodiversity conservation, especially in bird species. In this study, we use travel cost interval analysis, one of the travel cost derived models featuring more easily satisfied assumptions and less limited data, to evaluate the recreation value of the ecological bird-watching tourism destination, and compare it with the general ecotourism, of Mingxi County destination in China. The results show that, firstly, the per capita recreation value of eco-birdwatching is 3.9 times that of general eco-tourism, its per capita social benefit is three times that of general eco-tourism, and its per capita economic benefit is 4.5 times that of general eco-tourism. Secondly, compared with general ecotourists, the per capita travel costs of eco-birdwatchers are higher, and there were significant statistical differences in the expenses for catering, tickets, shopping, opportunity cost, and total travel expenses between these two groups. Thirdly, in comparison with general ecotourists, the marginal cost of an individual eco-birdwatcher is higher, and the travel intention of an eco-birdwatcher is more robust at the same cost level. The price of a single eco-birdwatcher is higher under the same travel intention demand level. In short, the ecological bird-watching industry has a higher marginal value than general eco-tourism and has higher social, economic, and ecological benefits, bringing a higher level of development for the local tourism industry.
Human Body Burden of Heavy Metals and Health Consequences of Pb Exposure in Guiyu, an E-Waste Recycling Town in China
Authors: Huang Wenlong , Shi Xiaoling , Wu Kusheng
Published: November 2021

Guiyu accommodates millions of tons of e-waste from overseas and domestic sources each year and is notorious for its e-waste dismantling industry. As a consequence, Guiyu has been described as “the world’s most toxic place” and “junk town”. Informal e-waste recycling activities have caused severe pollution to the local environment and are associated with extensive health problems to the residents. This review provides updated insights on the body burden of heavy metals derived from e-waste and health outcomes resulted from lead (Pb) exposure. The review identified that Guiyu has been highly contaminated by heavy metals, especially Pb. Excessive exposure to Pb has been associated with multi-system and long-term effects in neonates and children, covering nervous, cardiovascular, adaptive immune, and hematologic systems as well as chromosome and DNA damage. Our review indicates strong associations that emphasize the need to develop strong regulations for prevention of exposure and health consequences in Guiyu and similar sites around the world.
Feasibility of an At-Home Adult Stool Specimen Collection Method in Rural Cambodia
Authors: Fischer Jordie A. J. , Karakochuk Crystal D.
Published: November 2021

The human microbiome has received significant attention over the past decade regarding its potential impact on health. Epidemiological and intervention studies often rely on at-home stool collection methods designed for high-resource settings, such as access to an improved toilet with a modern toilet seat. However, this is not always appropriate or applicable to low-resource settings. Therefore, the design of a user-friendly stool collection kit for low-resource rural settings is needed. We describe the development, assembly, and user experience of a simple and low-cost at-home stool collection kit for women living in rural Cambodia as part of a randomized controlled trial in 2020. Participants were provided with the stool collection kit and detailed verbal instruction. Enrolled women (n = 480) provided two stool specimens (at the start of the trial and after 12 weeks) at their home and brought them to the health centre that morning in a sterile collection container. User specimen collection compliance was high, with 90% (n = 434) of women providing a stool specimen at the end of the trial (after 12 weeks). This feasible and straightforward method has strong potential for similar or adapted use among adults residing in other rural or low-resource contexts.

Published: November 2021

Background: Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by an unregulated host response to infection. The emphasis is on the imbalance of homeostasis and the response to infection, as well as mortality and the importance of recognizing sepsis as early as possible. The knowledge of undergraduate nursing students is an extremely important indicator for future work in the healthcare system after graduation. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of knowledge about sepsis among undergraduate nursing students and to compare differences in different years of study, as well as differences in their study model. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 618 nursing students at the University of Applied Health Sciences in Zagreb, Croatia. All three years of study and both full-time and part-time (employed) nursing students were included. The questionnaire “Determinants of Sepsis Knowledge” was used in the research. Results: The percentage and number of third-year students who correctly answered the items on Knowledge of Sepsis were statistically significant compared to the first two years of study. The percentage and number of employed students who responded correctly to the items on Knowledge of Sepsis were statistically significant compared to students who were not employed. Conclusions: The ability of nursing students to recognize and respond to the deterioration in a patient’s condition due to sepsis is very important, so appropriate education about sepsis is essential. We recommend a greater representation of sepsis content in the core curriculum of nursing students’ education in terms of theoretical instruction and clinical and simulation exercises.
Rigorous Policy-Making Amid COVID-19 and Beyond: Literature Review and Critical Insights
Authors: Su Zhaohui
Published: November 2021

Policies shape society. Public health policies are of particular importance, as they often dictate matters in life and death. Accumulating evidence indicates that good-intentioned COVID-19 policies, such as shelter-in-place measures, can often result in unintended consequences among vulnerable populations such as nursing home residents and domestic violence victims. Thus, to shed light on the issue, this study aimed to identify policy-making processes that have the potential of developing policies that could induce optimal desirable outcomes with limited to no unintended consequences amid the pandemic and beyond. Methods: A literature review was conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus to answer the research question. To better structure the review and the subsequent analysis, theoretical frameworks such as the social ecological model were adopted to guide the process. Results: The findings suggested that: (1) people-centered; (2) artificial intelligence (AI)-powered; (3) data-driven, and (4) supervision-enhanced policy-making processes could help society develop policies that have the potential to yield desirable outcomes with limited unintended consequences. To leverage these strategies’ interconnectedness, the people-centered, AI-powered, data-driven, and supervision-enhanced (PADS) model of policy making was subsequently developed. Conclusions: The PADS model can develop policies that have the potential to induce optimal outcomes and limit or eliminate unintended consequences amid COVID-19 and beyond. Rather than serving as a definitive answer to problematic COVID-19 policy-making practices, the PADS model could be best understood as one of many promising frameworks that could bring the pandemic policy-making process more in line with the interests of societies at large; in other words, more cost-effectively, and consistently anti-COVID and pro-human.

Authors: Soldatova S.Yu. , Filatova G.L.
Published: November 2021

Meat-processing enterprises produce a wide range of canned meat in different price categories. Complete information about the composition enables consumers to choose a product that meets their needs. However, the information on the label does not always correspond to the true composition of the canned food, and consumers are deceived in their expectations. Often, food additives that are not permitted by regulatory documents or are not declared on the label are introduced into the recipe. The purpose of this study was to identify the composition of canned meat lumps of popular brands produced from premium beef in accordance with GOST 32125 “Canned meat. Stewed meat”. The study was carried out by histological method. In many canned food samples, vegetable protein products, as well as thickening food additives, such as carrageenan, gums, starch, were found. The conclusions are made about the high level of falsification of this type of product.

A methodology and an algorithm for calculating the survivability parameters of a long-term deformable reinforced concrete building frame in extreme states are presented. Analytical dependencies for determining the value of the creep measure are taken in accordance with the use of approximate dependencies from the recommendations of the NIIZHB. On this basis, a method is proposed for determining the cross-section bending stiffness of the frame elements. The deformation criterion of a special limiting state is formulated taking into account the nonequilibrium processes of prolonged deformation of the structural system elements. The numerical analysis results of the long-term deformable reinforced concrete frame survivability potential with a sudden removal of the one structural element, taking into account the long-term deformation prehistory of the considered building frame under an operating load, are presented. The exposure of the structural system survivability from the its loading moment to its transformation into a kinematically variable system has been determined.

Dynamic strength criteria and crack resistance criteria are given for a typical plane-stressed reinforced concrete element with prestressed reinforcement in one direction. The criteria are constructed by generalizing the theory of plasticity of concrete and reinforced concrete G.A. Geniev on the area of existence of tensile stresses: "tension- tension" and "compression- tension". In general terms, the crack resistance condition and strength condition of a prestressed reinforced concrete plane-stressed element are presented in the form of an ellipse in the coordinates of the main stresses. In this case, in contrast to the criteria of crack resistance of a flat unstressed element, the principal axes of the ellipse don’t pass through the origin. The results of a comparative analysis of the calculated and experimental data on crack resistance and strength for prestressed reinforced concrete in the support zone of the beam of a monolithic reinforced concrete frame tested for a given design load and a special dynamic effect are given.

Published: November 2021

Background

Little is known about variations in the provision of chronic care services in primary care.

Aim

To describe the frequency of chronic care services provided by GPs and analyse the extent of non-random variation in service provision.

Design and setting

Nationwide cohort study undertaken in Denmark using data from 2016.

Method

Information on chronic care services was obtained from national health registers, including annual chronic care consultations, chronic care procedures, outreach home visits, and talk therapy. The associations between services provided, patient morbidity, and socioeconomic factors were estimated. Service variations were analysed, and excess variation related to practice-specific factors was estimated while accounting for random variation.

Results

Chronic care provision was associated with increasing patient age, increasing number of long-term conditions, and indicators of low socioeconomic status. Variation across practices ranged from 1.4 to 128 times more than expected after adjusting for differences in patient population and random variation. Variation related to practice-specific factors was present for all the chronic care services that were investigated. Older patients with lower socioeconomic status and multimorbidity were clustered in practices with low propensity to provide certain chronic care services.

Conclusion

Chronic care was provided to patients typically in need of health care, that is, older adults, those with multimorbidity, and those with low socioeconomic status, but service provision varied more than expected across practices. GPs provided slightly fewer chronic care services than expected in practices where many patients with multimorbidity and low socioeconomic status were clustered, suggesting inverse care law mechanisms.

Introdução. O autismo é alvo de investigações de muitos pesquisadores. Até o momento não se encontram biomarcadores claros sobre sua fisiopatologia e, por consequência, o diagnóstico tem como base critérios comportamentais. A musicoterapia vem crescendo no campo de tratamento do autismo, uma vez que estes indivíduos apresentam grande interesse pelos estímulos musicais. Objetivo. Identificar como a musicoterapia pode beneficiar, em uma perspectiva comportamental, o tratamento do autismo. Método. Foi realizada revisão bibliográfica nas bases de dados PubMed, Google Scholar e Scielo com os descritores em inglês, português e espanhol contendo “Musicoterapia e Autismo”, “Musicoterapia Comportamental e Autismo” e “Musicoterapia Comportamental”. Resultados. Foram encontrados 16 artigos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão deste estudo, divididos em duas categorias: (tipo de intervenção e revisão bibliográfica) para facilitar a apresentação dos achados. Conclusão. A musicoterapia apresenta resultados relevantes para a redução de comportamentos estereotipados e aumento de habilidades sociais e comunicação em pessoas com autismo, tendo como principal abordagem utilizada a musicoterapia criativa e comportamental, buscando alcançar resultados não-musicais apoiados em evidências neurocientíficas. Apesar dos resultados positivos, nota-se uma escassez de trabalhos com amostras maiores e melhores com evidências científicas.

The multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods seek to support the decision-maker in choosing the most preferable alternative among the various possible ones, considering the criteria that characterize this preference. However, this task can become very complex, depending on the method used. This is because the algorithms of the methods are not always of a simple application. In this way, it is indispensable to develop computational tools that apply the algorithms of MCDA methods, making it feasible to use them. In this context, the computational tool presented in this article was developed. It uses the PrOPPAGA method in the selection problem of the Brazilian Navy's Hospital Assistance Ship Class of (HAS) to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. The main contribution of this article is to present a tutorial for using this tool, to make its use feasible by society.

Fighting obesity has become a public health problem in recent decades due to its growth in the entire population and the comorbidities associated with weight gain. As ways to eradicate this pathology, in addition to being a protective factor, physical activity has stood out as one of the most effective interventions for interventions in cases of obesity. However, there is little adherence of that population to physical activity practices. In order to understand the motivations that impact this condition, this systematic review analyzed in the Scielo, BVS, Web of Science and PubMed databases in the period from 2016 to 2021, studies that point out the intrinsic and extrinsic reasons for adherence to the practice of physical activity . The results point to an increase in scientific production in 2017, with greater frequency in medical journals. As for motivation indicators, the data reveal that behavioral strategies were used as extrinsic motivators for adherence to physical activity, however the articles point to motivation in general, that is, not considering types or motivational factors, in addition to not investigating specific motivations in the obese population.

O tema “Responsabilidade no Direito Internacional Ambiental” reveste-se de extrema importância para a solução de litígios envolvendo danos ambientas entre Estados estrangeiros. Com o objetivo de abordar o tema sob a ótica da evolução histórica da responsabilidade e da casuística internacional, o presente trabalho, utilizando o método indutivo como procedimento metodológico de investigação científica, e, tendo como base de estudo a jurisprudência, fontes doutrinárias e a casuística internacional. O trabalho foi estruturado em três tópicos, onde foram abordados aspectos históricos, conceituais e evolução da responsabilização no direito internacional ambiental. Verificou-se que a responsabilidade internacional se firmou, numa primeira fase, no campo da responsabilidade subjetiva, com a análise da culpa. No entanto, a tendência atual segue no sentido da exclusão da culpa, mesmo quando não se tratar de atividades de risco, firmando o campo da responsabilidade objetiva no direito internacional ambiental. Por meio de casos emblemáticos envolvendo responsabilidade entre Estados estrangeiros em casos de poluição e danos transfronteiriços, como os casos Trail Smelter, Lanoux, Corfu, Fábricas de Celulose no Rio Uruguai, Candiota, Pulverização de Herbicidas pela Colômbia e Projeto Gabcikovo-Nagymaros verificou-se que as soluções dos casos estudados apontam para a consolidação das bases normativas do direito internacional, bem como na consolidação do princípio da soberania territorial limitada.

A engenharia de tecidos ósseos vem estudando materiais biocompatíveis que possam ser utilizados na produção de implantes e próteses ósseas. As biocerâmicas à base de fosfatos de cálcio, como a hidroxiapatita, são biocompatíveis e possuem alta capacidade de osteointegração. A fim de obter respostas biológicas mais adequadas, pesquisas têm sido feitas dopando as biocerâmicas com íons metálicos, como Magnésio e o melhor conhecimento do efeito desses dopantes quando implantados, traz oportunidades de melhorias para as cirurgias e diminuição dos efeitos adversos. Este trabalho mostra a coleta de dados de um estudo preliminar sobre a avaliação das respostas biológica in vitro para biocerâmicas à base de fosfatos de cálcio modificadas com magnésio, para a posterior elaboração de uma revisão sistemática. Foram escolhidas palavras-chave relacionadas com o tema e realizado buscas nas bases de dados PubMed, EmBase, Scopus e Web Of Science utilizando o ensaio ALP com medidas de densidade óptica como critério de comparação. Em relação a coleta de dados, os resultados apresentaram falta de padronização e alta heterogeneidade em decorrência da arbitrariedade na concentração do dopante e nos períodos de avaliação das amostras, dificultando a comparação entre estudos. Com isso, esforços são necessários para o desenvolvimento de protocolos que viabilizem a obtenção de dados mais adequados para a comparação.

Maintenance in electrical substation equipment in- volves several daily risks to the worker. When carrying out the maintenance of a large equipment, a truck is assigned to the task. It is not any place that the truck has the ability to travel, nor the workers have the free transition through the place.The objective of this work is to develop a Genetic Algorithm to solve the problem, to create a route where the level of danger is low and does not pose a risk to the health of the worker. To test the genetic algorithm, a substation virtual environment was used where the dimensions and distances are reliable for a real environment. In order to do so, the map division strategy and the creation of individuals with variable sizes were applied. The results were satisfactory, obtaining a route from the point of departure and the point of arrival.

O medo das enfermidades e da morte nos acompanha ao longo da história e gera práticas e representações associadas ao contexto histórico da época. Hoje, a pandemia do covid-19 ceifa milhares de vida no Brasil e no mundo, e a forma como nos apropriamos da trágica realidade nos leva a produzir representações que resvalam, em muitos casos, para o negacionismo científico e contribuem para que muitas vidas ainda sejam perdidas pelos discursos e práticas esvaziados de fundamentação científica. Sitiadas, as cidades enfrentam o microscópico inimigo com distanciamento social e medidas sanitárias de higiene básica, enquanto a vacinação não consegue imunizar a maioria da população brasileira. O amor e a empatia tornam-se lenimentos no vazio deixado pela ausência de vacinas suficientes ou remédio específico contra o coronavírus até o presente momento, em 20 de março de 2021. Janelas antes fechadas são abertas para propiciar a visão do outro. Destacaremos neste artigo a relação entre sentimentos e suas expressões representativas relativas ao medo da morte e das enfermidades nas linguagens escrita e iconográfica e procuraremos articulá-los aos fatos históricos que serviram de palco para a sua construção. Analisar as práticas e representações associadas à saúde pública e desenvolver um estudo comparativo entre as epidemias do final do século XIX e a pandemia do covid-19 torna-se relevante para encontrarmos soluções realistas que nos conduzam com segurança para a liberdade, a saúde e o usufruto da vida em comunidade.

A escola não é apenas um espaço de aprendizagem, mas também um espaço de socialização e desenvolvimento de várias competências, incluindo as emoções, a cognição e pensamento crítico. Por ser um local onde crianças e jovens passam a maior parte do tempo, a escola passa a desempenhar um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento da identidade e da personalidade do aluno. Neste contexto, a escola torna-se o melhor lugar para investir em educação sexual de qualidade para crianças e jovens, haja vista que os pais nem sempre possuem escolaridade e didática suficientes para compreender e abordar a temática com seus filhos. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a percepção do corpo docente no que diz respeito ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem para educação sexual de crianças e adolescentes. Caracteriza-se por ser uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, caráter descritivo e de campo, sendo utilizado como instrumento um questionário estruturado. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que os profissionais percebem a educação sexual na escola como limitada, mesmo que seja um importante aspecto do desenvolvimento humano e que não haja malefícios em seu ensino. Ainda apontam dificuldade de ser trabalhada por ser permeada de medos e tabus e por não ser incluída formalmente no plano pedagógico. Assim, nota-se que a presente pesquisa viabiliza a realização de estudos similares que tenham por objetivo verificar a possibilidade de implantação da educação sexual em mais escolas da rede pública e privada da cidade de Manaus.

Introdução - A Medicina Legal e a Odontologia Legal têm grande importância no processo de identificação, principalmente quando os profissionais da área recebem para análise esqueleto completo ou ossos isolados. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o dimorfismo sexual e estimação da idade através de mensurações utilizando áxis secas de adultos. Material e Métodos - Os autores estudaram uma amostra de 158 áxis secas de adultos, sendo 98 do sexo masculino e 60 do feminino, que pertenceram a indivíduos com faixa etária entre 20 e 98 anos, com sexo e idade conhecidos com absoluta segurança. Os ossos pertencem ao acervo do Laboratório de Anatomia Humana  da Faculdade de Medicina da FAP-Araripina.  Para este estudo foram realizadas as seguintes medidas: diâmetro ântero-posterior (dap), diâmetro transverso máximo (dtm), diâmetro ântero-posterior do forame vertebral (dapfv), diâmetro transverso do forame vertebral (dtfv) e peso da vértebra (p). Resultados - De acordo com a análise estatística, houve índice de acerto de 82,8% por regressão logística e 76,6% pela análise de função discriminante. Através do teste t observou-se diferença significativa entre as médias e intervalos de confiança (p= < 0,0001). Utilizou-se também o método da regressão linear múltipla para a predição da idade, constatando que o modelo  não foi significativo para este fim (p=0,0587). Conclusões – Os resultados permitiram uma análise quantitativa dos ossos estudados e seu comportamento em relação ao sexo  com estabelecimento de metodologia estatística para avaliação futura.

The city of Joinville, in the northern region of the state of Santa Catarina, has a history of damages caused by floods, caused both by rainfall and by the impact of tides. This paper analyzes the most recent flood control measures in the three main hydrographic basins areas of Joinville, Hydrographic Basin of Cachoeira river (BHRC), Hydrographic Basin of Cubatão do Norte  river (BHRCN) and Hydrographic Basin of Piraí River (BHRP). In the BHRC, in recent years there have been interventions in two sub-basins of the BHRC, contrution of macrodrainage has been made in the Morro Alto River and in the Mathias River it has been through recent works of alteration of its bed. In one of the sub-basins of the Piraí River, the Vermelho river basin, rainwater drainage galleries were built. Still in the Piraí Basin, there is a project to build micro drainage networks in the Vila Nova neighborhood (basin and paving of their respective roads as a goal of flood risk reduction). In the BHRCN one of the main works was the construction of an extravasation channel, dam and pourers for flow control. As non-structural measures, the hydro-meteorological monitoring of the Joinville Civil Defense (DCJ) and CEMADEN (National Center for Monitoring and Alerting Natural Disasters), the Evacuation Plan and Contingency Plan for Civil Protection and Defense for extreme natural events of the city developed by DCJ, the flood warning service of Joinville, included in the project of warning of the possible disasters of the Secretariat of Public Security of the State of Santa Catarina, implantation in Joinville of the Regional Center of Management of Risks and Disasters (CIGERD) and the zoning of areas subject to flooding or flooding available on the site of the Municipal Information System Georeferenced (SIMGeo). These actions are the result of the development of public policies that are demanded by a set of laws - municipal, state and federal - in force from time to time, and a historical series of laws and decrees related to flood control is found in the appendix of this work.
