Tree Biomechanics Literature Review: Dynamics
Authors: James Kenneth R. , Dahle Gregory A. , Grabosky Jason , Kane Brian , Detter Andreas
Published: September 2021

Tree biomechanics studies using dynamic methods of analysis are reviewed. The emphasis in this review is on the biomechanics of open-grown trees typically found in urban areas, rather than trees in forests or plantations. The distinction is not based on species but on their form, because open-grown trees usually grow with considerable branch mass and the dynamic response in winds may be different to other tree forms. Methods of dynamic analysis applied to trees are reviewed. Simple tree models have been developed to understand tree dynamic responses, but these largely ignore the dynamics of branches. More complex models and finite element analyses are developing a multimodal approach to represent the dynamics of branches on trees. Results indicate that material properties play only a limited role in tree dynamics and it is the form and morphology of the tree and branches that can influence the dynamics of trees.
Review of Urban Tree Inventory Methods Used to Collect Data at Single-Tree Level
Authors: Nielsen Anders , Östberg Johan , Delshammar Tim
Published: September 2021

With a growing number of urban tree inventory methods and diversifying use of tree inventory data by city authorities and researchers, there is a need to evaluate, review, and critically assess the inventory methods available. This study reviewed studies using urban tree inventories at single-tree level as their data source. Based on this, a bibliographic overview was established and a typology of contemporary urban tree inventory methods was created and used as a framework for evaluation and discussion of the measurement type and accuracy achievable with different methods. The authors found that data from urban tree inventories are currently being employed in research with an increasing number of focuses across a geographical scope that spans all continents except Africa. Four main types of urban tree inventories were distinguished: satellite-supported methods, airplane-supported methods, on-the-ground scanning or digital photography, and field surveys. Compiling results across studies and evaluating the parameters collected by these inventory methods and their accuracy of measurement revealed that the technology itself and current data processing methods limit the reliability of the data obtained from all methods except field surveys. The study authors recommend further technological development and scientific testing before these methods can replace field surveys.
A Study of Branch Dynamics on an Open-Grown Tree
Authors: James Kenneth
Published: September 2021

This study investigates the dynamic properties of branches on an open-grown tree, where most of the mass is in the branches rather than in the trunk. When large branches on open-grown trees sway in winds, they individually and collectively influence how the whole tree sways. If branches are removed, as in pruning, the effect on tree sway has not yet been studied and the literature is almost nonexistent regarding recommendations for pruning open-grown trees to reduce wind damage. Trees come in many shapes and sizes and in urban areas, usually grow in open spaces and develop many branches. In forests, and particularly in closely spaced plantations, trees grow with an upright central trunk and develop significantly less branch mass. Forest conifers have been studied to identify their dynamic properties in winds, but the results may be different for open-grown trees. A 19.7 m tall silver maple (Acer saccharinum) with four codominant branches was tested by pulling and then releasing each branch to determine the dynamic properties. Branches were progressively removed and the tests repeated. The sway response was recorded with strain instruments attached to the trunk and accelerometers attached to each branch. The dynamic properties of frequency and damping were determined for all tests. The tree with all branches attached, in full foliage was difficult to sway because of damping from the branches. Significant changes in oscillating frequency and damping were observed only after most of the branches (greater than 80%) were removed. The results support the concept that branches provide damping, which dissipates energy from the wind as a mechanism to help trees survive.
The Effect of Sticky Bands on Cankerworm Abundance and Defoliation in Urban Trees
Authors: Noukoun Chanthammavong , Bryant Gregory , Frank Steven
Published: September 2021

Defoliation by insects can reduce tree growth, increase mortality, and increase herbivory of neighboring plants. In North Carolina, U.S., fall cankerworms (Alsophila pometaria) and spring cankerworms (Paleacrita vernata) are important early-season defoliators and have become more common in recent years. Female fall and spring cankerworm adults are wingless and climb tree trunks to mate and deposit egg masses. Therefore, sticky bands made by wrapping paper bands around trees and covering them with Tangle- Foot™ can intercept female moths as they climb, preventing oviposition and reducing subsequent larval abundance and defoliation. The authors hypothesize that sticky bands reduce cankerworm larvae and defoliation in the canopy when compared to unbanded trees. To test this hypothesis, cankerworm abundance and defoliation were measured on willow oaks with zero, one, and two bands. It was found that trees with two bands captured an average of 38.69% more moths than single banded trees. As a consequence, two-band trees had the least larvae in the canopy. It was found that larval abundance, sampled early in the season with trays of soapy water, was correlated with canopy defoliation at the end of the season. However, tree bands did not affect total canopy defoliation. Although many cities use sticky bands as part of cankerworm management, the authors did not find evidence for their efficacy when defoliation is low.

Published: September 2021

Trees in landscapes are valued for physical as well as aesthetic benefits and biodiversity. Trees on a university campus and in city parks also help to provide an environment in which students and visitors can study and relax. A critical decision facing urban foresters, arborists, and planners involves deciding when an existing tree should be removed and replaced; it is a decision often based on an evaluation of the tree’s health, condition, and safety concerns. This project surveyed a total of 3,335 trees with 79 species on the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University (Nacogdoches, Texas, U.S.) and 1,572 trees with 44 species in Nacogdoches city parks. Tree health and replacement values of the two groups were statistically compared, as were the diversities of the two. Finally, the tree health conditions and distributions were spatially analyzed using a geographic information system. Although there was statistical evidence indicating that the campus trees were significantly healthier than the city park trees, neither of their biodiversity status was desirable. It is important to identify and remove trees with extensive wood decay and introduce new species when performing forest maintenance and management.
The Management of Tree Root Systems in Urban and Suburban Settings II: A Review of Strategies to Mitigate Human Impacts
Authors: Watson Gary W. , Hewitt Angela M. , Custic Melissa , Lo Marvin
Published: September 2021

Root systems of nearly all trees in the built environment are subject to impacts of human activities that can affect tree health and reduce longevity. These influences are present from early stages of nursery development and throughout the life of the tree. Reduced root systems from root loss or constriction can reduce stability and increase stress. Natural infection of urban tree roots after severing has not been shown to lead to extensive decay development. Roots often conflict with infrastructure in urban areas because of proximity. Strategies to provide root space under pavements and to reduce pavement heaving have been developed, but strategies for prevention of foundation and sewer pipe damage are limited to increasing separation or improved construction.
Monitoring Million Trees LA: Tree Performance During the Early Years and Future Benefits
Authors: Gregory McPherson E.
Published: September 2021

Million Trees LA (MTLA) is one of several large-scale mayoral tree planting initiatives in the United States, striving to create more livable cities through urban forestry. This study combined field sampling of tree survival and growth with numerical modeling of future benefits to assess performance of MTLA plantings. From 2006 to 2010 MTLA planted a diverse mix of 91,786 trees. Survivorship rates of 79.8%, 90.7%, and 77.1% for street, park and yard trees were relatively high compared to other studies. Growth rates averaged 0.99 and 1.1 cm DBH per year for street and yard trees. They were similar to rates for the same species in Claremont, California, U.S., and trees in other subtropical urban forests. Projected over 40 years, the amounts of CO2stored per tree planted per year (20.1 kg), avoided emissions (27.7 kg), rainfall interception (1.5 m3), and air conditioning savings (47.4 kWh) exceeded estimates from a previous assessment. One reason is that MTLA has planted more larger-stature trees than anticipated. Avoided CO2emissions from energy savings were relatively large because trees were judiciously located for building shade. Park tree plantings were projected to store the most CO2(42.0 kg per tree per year) because of their large-stature and high survival rate. Although MTLA has not reached its goal of planting 1 million trees, early results suggest that it is achieving success in terms of tree survival, growth, and performance. Continued success will depend on proper tree care practices, strategically selecting and locating new trees, monitoring threats, and adapting to challenges that arise.
Tree Biomechanics: A White Paper from the 2012 International Meeting and Research Summit at The Morton Arboretum (Lisle, Illinois, U.S.)

Published: September 2021

The International Society of Arboriculture, in conjunction with The Morton Arboretum (Lisle, Illinois, U.S.), convened Tree Biomechanics Summit in September 2012 – bringing together a panel of internationally-recognized experts in the fields of tree biology, tree structure, structural engineering, computer modeling, and arboriculture. Following two days of public research talks on the state of tree biomechanics research, presenters were invited to attend a researcher summit to discuss persisting research gaps and prioritize research needs. Over the course of the event, summit attendees identified five priority research areas: 1) improving efforts to assess mechanical failure potential in trees; 2) modeling the impact of mechanical loading on trees; 3) understanding the mechanisms and modes of tree failure; 4) understanding tree growth response to mechanical loads; and 5) increasing the effectiveness of tree risk mitigation practices. Beyond research priorities, summit participants discussed opportunities for advancing future tree biomechanics research efforts, including the creation of a formal working group dedicated to the subject.
Wood Chips and Compost Improve Soil Quality and Increase Growth ofAcer rubrumandBetula nigrain Compacted Urban Soil
Authors: Scharenbroch Bryant C. , Watson Gary W.
Published: September 2021

Tree growth is negatively impacted by the removal of topsoil and compaction of subsoil associated with site development in urban landscapes. A research plot with 60Acer rubrumand 60Betula nigrawas created, mimicking the typical urban landscape disturbance. Wood-chip mulch (WC), compost (COMP), inorganic fertilizer (FERT), aerated compost tea (ACT), a commercial biological product (CBP), and a water control (NULL) were assessed for their impacts on soil quality and tree growth after five years. The WC treatment significantly decreased bulk density and increased soil moisture, organic matter, and microbial respiration. The COMP treatment increased soil moisture, organic matter, microbial respiration, pH, N, P, and K. Soil P increased with the FERT treatment. Tree growth was significantly increased with WC, COMP, and FERT treatments. No significant changes in soil properties or tree growth were observed with ACT or CBP compared to NULL; and, compared to background soil levels or other treatments (e.g., COMP and WC) ACT and CBP supply relatively minimal amounts of microbes and nutrients. This research shows strong evidence that COMP topdressings and WC mulches are effective and also cost-efficient methods for improving soil quality and stimulating tree growth in compacted urban landscape soils.

Published: September 2021

Cartographiccompetence has been determined as a very important one in the list of subject geographical competencies recorded in the State Standard of Secondary Basic Education of Ukraine. Since a geographic map is a system of landmarks with specific information based on field studies, aerial photographs and satellite images, and other cartographic sources, statistics and literature, the task of a geography teacher is to instil in pupils the necessary skills, which will result in cartographic competencies. Since it is impossible to study geography without a geographic map as a forming factor for spatial thinking, the authors of the article conducted an empirical research. The research and comparative analysis were conducted among the pupils, their parents and geography teachers in order to identify their cartographic knowledge, concepts and cartographic skills of the pupils. The aim of the article was to determine the role of the geography teacher as a consultant who forms the cartographic competence, the content of which consists of cartographic knowledge and map reading skills. The objectives of the paper includes evaluation of the pupils’ levels of cartographic competence, and determination of the correlation between the levels of the pupils’ cartographic competence and factors influencing its development. The theoretical analysis and empirical study resulted in developing the updated methodology for working with the maps on geography classes, and determining the role of a teacher who guarantees the formation of subject competence in cartography among pupils with the use of proper and relevant methodological instruments for teaching pupils’ cartographic competence. The results of the correlations that we received highlighted the important role of a geography teacher in forming the average and high level of the pupils’ cartographic competence.
RECIFES ARTIFICIAIS: USO ESTRATÉGICO E ANÁLISE DE VIABILIDADE NA PRAIA DE MADRE DE DEUS – BA
Authors: Queiroz Taciana da Costa
Published: September 2021

Introdução: Os recifes de corais são formados por rochedos rígidos, resistentes e diversificados. Tem a função de abrigo e alimento para diversos organismos. Estudos mostram que apenas 10% dos oceanos são caracterizados como áreas de presença biológica produtiva, entre elas: zonas costeiras e plataformas continentais, que ficam à margem dos oceanos e mares. Entretanto, as ocupações nestas regiões causam a degradação desse ecossistema. Nesse cenário, surgem os recifes artificiais como instrumentos de manejo, com objetivos relacionados a mitigação de áreas degradadas na zona costeira, suprimento da perda de estoques pesqueiros, ampliação da disponibilidade dos recursos em locais onde a pesca é um dos meios de subsistência e redução da pressão sobre os recifes naturais. Objetivos: Esta pesquisa reúne informações sobre a Praia de Madre de Deus - Ba, suas características físicas e os materiais que podem ser utilizados como estruturas para proporcionar o desenvolvimento de recifes artificiais marinhos no local. Material e métodos: A metodologia foi baseada em um levantamento de dados secundários proveniente de referenciais bibliográficos. O tema foi abordado de forma descritiva e, entre os resultados, foram obtidos dados desde o ano de 1974 até o ano de 2019 com aplicações nos países da França, Japão, Estados Unidos, Austrália, Cuba, Canadá e Brasil. Os autores foram selecionados de acordo com o âmbito da pesquisa, isto é, uso dos materiais para o coral artificial em locais com características físicas semelhantes à área de estudo. A descrição das estruturas foi realizada de forma detalhada e qualitativa, apontando estudos que mostram os resultados obtidos em regiões com características similares a Ilha de Madre de Deus, os pontos positivos, negativos e melhores formas aplicação. Resultados: Entre as opções encontradas nos resultados, os pneus e o concreto estão entre os mais adequados à área de estudo por já terem sido aplicados com sucesso em regiões com características físicas semelhantes. Conclusão: Os recifes artificiais, na maioria dos estudos, são considerados uma forma eficiente de incrementar a fauna e a flora marinha de um local e, quando apresentam resultados negativos, as falhas se relacionam à falta de pesquisas em referencial ou são testes pioneiros.
ELEMEN PATRIOTISME DALAM FILEM MAT SALLEH PAHLAWAN SABAH (1983)
Authors: Juhan Junaidi  , Zairul Anuar Md. Dawam  , Rosli Sareya
Published: September 2021

Filem adalah karya seni berbentuk audio dan visual. Selain hiburan, filem juga merakamkan semula sejarah bangsa dan negara serta berperanan menyebarkan pelbagai mesej kepada masyarakat. Antaranya adalah menyedarkan masyarakat tentang semangat patriotisme pada negara. Hal ini dinyatakan Mohd Daly et al. (2017: 570), bahawa penerbitan filem patriotisme bukan sahaja sebagai tontonan, malah mampu menyemai dan menyampaikan mesej cintakan negara. Selain perlakuan, penyampaian mesej boleh dilakukan melalui penyampaian dialog watak. Justeru, artikel ini akan menganalisis penggunaan ujaran implikatur patriotisme dalam filem Mat Salleh Pahlawan Sabah (1983) dengan menggunakan teori Grice (1975). Pemilihan filem ini dilakukan kerana gambaran Mat Salleh dalam memperjuangkan keadilan sehingga sanggup mati cukup jelas menunjukkan semangat patriotisme beliau pada bumi Sabah. Selain itu, sehingga kini nama Mat Salleh menjadi legenda bualan masyarakat dan salah satu tokoh yang menentang keras penjajah khususnya di negeri Sabah. Oleh itu, analisis penggunaan ujaran implikatur patriotisme ini bertujuan untuk menentukan presentasi dan mesej tentang patriotisme boleh dijelaskan secara harfiah dan terperinci berdasarkan konteks negara Malaysia melalui medium filem. Selain itu, ia juga bertujuan memperkuatkan lagi watak Mat Salleh dalam filem tersebut dikategorikan sebagai pahlawan yang mempunyai semangat patriotisme iaitu cintakan negaranya.
 
Films are works of art in the form of audio and visuals. Apart from entertainment, the film also re -records the history of the nation and the country and serves to spread various messages to the community.  Among them is to make the community aware of the spirit of patriotism in the country. This is stated by Mohd Daly et al. (2017: 570), that the production of patriotism films is not only a spectacle but also able to sow and convey the message of love for the country.In addition to treatment, message delivery can be done through character dialogue delivery. Thus, this article will analyze the use of the implicature expression of patriotism in the film Mat Salleh Pahlawan Sabah (1983) by using the theory of Grice (1975). The selection of this film was done because of Mat Salleh’s portrayal of fighting for justice until he was willing to die, it clearly shows his patriotism in Sabah. Apart from that, until now, Mat Salleh’s name has become a legend in the community and one of the figures who strongly opposed the colonialists, especially in Sabah. Therefore, the analysis of the use of the expression of the implicature of patriotism aims to determine the presentation and message about patriotism can be explained literally and in detail based on the context of Malaysia through the medium of film. Apart from that, it also aims to strengthen the character of Mat Salleh in the film which is categorized as a hero who has the spirit of patriotism that is the love of his country.

Divide-and-Conquer Federated Learning Under Data Heterogeneity
Authors: Chandran Pravin , Bhat Raghavendra , Chakravarthy Avinash , Chandar Srikanth
Published: September 2021

Federated Learning allows training of data stored in distributed devices without the need for centralizing training-data, thereby maintaining data-privacy. Addressing the ability to handle data heterogeneity (non-identical and independent distribution or non-IID) is a key enabler for the wider deployment of Federated Learning. In this paper, we propose a novel Divide-andConquer training methodology that enables the use of the popular FedAvg aggregation algorithm by over-coming the acknowledged FedAvg limitations in non-IID environments. We propose a novel use of Cosine-distance based Weight Divergence metric to determine the exact point where a Deep Learning network can be divided into class-agnostic initial layers and class-specific deep layers for performing a Divide and Conquer training. We show that the methodology achieves trained-model accuracy at-par with (and in certain cases exceeding) the numbers achieved by state-of-the-art algorithms like FedProx, FedMA, etc. Also, we show that this methodology leads to compute and/or bandwidth optimizations under certain documented conditions.

Redução da maioridade penal: o discurso punitivo a jovens autores/as de ato infracional
Authors: Quinelatto Rubia Fernanda , Conceição Willian Lazaretti , Campos Rafael Garcia
Published: September 2021

O Brasil possui altos indicadores de violência, o que tem sido argumento para a sociedade pugnar pelo recrudescimento da lei penal, preconizando um tratamento igualmente violento em relação aos/às autores/as de ato criminal, pela exacerbação das penas. Nesse contexto, dissemina-se a ideia de alteração do artigo 228 da Constituição Federal de 1988, que trata da inimputabilidade do menor de dezoito anos, com a redução da maioridade penal para dezesseis anos. Tal proposta repercute na mídia hegemônica e no parlamento brasileiro, com o argumento principal de que muitos jovens têm sido usados dentro do universo criminal. Todavia, há inconstitucionalidade de qualquer proposta de emenda constitucional que alvitre a redução da maioridade penal. Este estudo foi realizado à luz de Paulo Freire, com análise das políticas públicas e revisões a partir da obra Pedagogia do Oprimido. Discute-se o critério etário para a fixação da inimputabilidade, considerando as ações opressoras da sociedade burguesa dominante e a insusceptibilidade de supressão das cláusulas pétreas.
O menino que viu uma estrela
Authors: Lima Cláudia De Medeiros
Published: September 2021

O menino que viu uma estrela é um conto criado para dialogar sobre a importância do pensamento educacional de Paulo Freire para compreender os processos de conscientização e emancipação humana. De maneira lúdica e fantástica, o texto propõe a construção de uma narrativa em que uma professora, discípula de Paulo Freire, propõe explicar para Mariana, sua filha de apenas 6 anos de idade, o sentido do pensamento inscrito em uma caneca de porcelana encontrada em casa. Após insistência da menina, a mãe cria um conto para transpor a filosofia freireana para a linguagem infantil e, assim, favorecer o entendimento da criança. Ao final, a mãe se surpreende com a leitura que a filha faz da história e chega à conclusão de que o olhar infantil consegue penetrar no âmago da vida para além dos conceitos e teorias humanas.
João Alfredo e Paulo Freire: modernização popular numa universidade oligárquica (1962-1964)
Authors: Silva Junior Edelson De Albuquerque , Santos Evson Malaquias de Moraes
Published: September 2021

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os pilares da atuação política dePaulo Freire na então Universidade do Recife (UR), hoje Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), no período do reitorado de João Alfredo, que culminaram no embrião de seu arcabouço teórico para uma Pedagogia. Nesse percurso, pretende-se caracterizar de que modo o discurso de Paulo Freire ecoou nos setores da Universidade, possibilitando rupturas com as normas e os ritos de uma instituição. Desse modo, foi feito um estudo associando essa construção teórica e a sua capacidade de penetração no campo institucional, ligada ao contexto social-político-educacional gravíssimo no que diz respeito à moradia e à educação. Os debates na sociedade penetraram no interior da Universidade. Para tanto, foi estudado o processo que culminou tanto na ascensão de João Alfredo como reitor da UR quanto na inserção de Paulo Freire nessa mesma instituição, considerando a leitura de documentos oriundos e estruturados no ventre da própria Universidade − tais como as atas sistematizadas do Conselho Universitário e o Estatuto e Regimento da UR −, assim como outras fontes de análise que, além de demonstrarem a consolidação desse vínculo político e, em certa medida, pessoal, propiciaram que Paulo Freire desenvolvesse estratégias diferentes à racionalidade da instituição – através, por exemplo, dos seus dois anos de atuação no Serviço de Extensão Cultural (SEC).

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir como se dá a relação entre asmetodologias ativas e a pedagogia freireana, identificando e analisandosuas confluências. Por meio de “pesquisa da pesquisa” (BONIN, 2006), foipossível levantar conceitos importantes debatidos por Freire (1987, 2011),como os de educação problematizadora e a autonomia, e entender comoeles dialogam e estão refletidos nas metodologias ativas. A partir de umaanálise conceitual, entendemos que tais temas estão intrinsecamenteassociados às raízes fundantes das metodologias ativas, num diálogoque direciona não apenas à centralização do ensino no educando, mas,principalmente, à autonomia, cidadania e a uma consciência libertadorado ser humano.

Climate change education through narrative inquiry
Authors: Sherpa Pasang Dolma
Published: September 2021

This article addresses Climate Change Education (CCE) and its interface with Indigenous knowledge. Specifically, I explore the potential for transformation towards more holistic climate change education that balances science and Indigenous knowledge. However, the study details the persistent focus of contemporary education on climate science without interfacing with Indigenous knowledge, cultural values, and associated practices that contribute to climate change resilience. This article tackles this gap and the requisite transformation in climate change education through narrative inquiry.

Published: September 2021

Background: Various mental health interventions like priority in-patient care, ECT, psychotherapies, pharmacotherapies, etc. have been tried throughout the world to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with suicide behavior.
Aims: To establish the effectiveness of mental health intervention for preventing suicide, for those at risk and to understand the perception of patients and family members about the usefulness of interventions for preventing suicide.
Material and methods: The patients admitted to the Psychiatry Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences (IHBAS), in view of suicide behavior, during the 12 months period from 1st July 2018 to 30th June 2019 were included in the study. A target population of 88 patients was taken up for cross-sectional follow-up assessment. They were assessed for suicide behavior for the period of 12 months prior to and subsequent to the hospitalization.
Results: A statistically significant difference was found in both, the number of patients attempting suicide before and after hospitalization (N = 88, Chi-square = .2, p-value < 0.04), as well as in the mean number of attempts before and after hospitalization (N = 88, p-value <0.01). Also, three fourth of patients/family members were completely satisfied with the care provided while the remaining one-fourth were only partially satisfied.
Conclusion: This study has established not only the usefulness of timely mental health intervention for the prevention of suicide as perceived by family or patients but also provides statistical evidence for the effectiveness of such mental health interventions.

Even from the middle of the 19th century desertification was considered a controlled artificial process with anthropic factors as the main cause. Forest treatments applied in tropical forests in an incorrect manner have led to soil degradations and a destabilization of climatic and hydrologic regimes. In these conditions, desertification and its indicators have regressed in regard with agricultural and forestry productivity. This was caused by a non-sustainable management characterised by exploitation anthropic activities realized in an uncontrolled procedure. In 1994, the desertification definition was updated by introducing climatic factors and abusive grazing as consequences of field degradation. The main purpose of this article is to understand the concept of” desertification” and to elaborate a qualitative analysis based on published scientific articles in order to investigate the influence factors that led to the apparition of this phenomenon in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. The scientific objectives consist in analysing the evolution of desertification in different affected regions as well as to analyse the influence factors that led to the ecological destabilization of agricultural and forestry domains through degradation and a reduction of silvo-biologic productivity. The results were based on analysing 74 articles published in specialty agricultural and forestry journals or magazines by institutions or associations of owners, managers of waters and forests, forestry specialists, academicians and ecologists. They have all studied the present problem posed by desertification as well as modern applied methods for rehabilitating ecologic conditions in degraded ecosystems from semi-arid, arid and extremely arid areas.

A year after detecting the first COVID-19 case in Nigeria, data on the trend and pattern of morbidity and mortality are still emerging. Therefore, this study identifies the outcome of patients with COVID-19 in an isolation and treatment facility in Nigeria. This was a retrospective analysis of medical records for 327 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 patients in Stella Obasanjo Hospital, Benin, Edo state, South-south Nigeria. Extracted data included age, sex, comorbidities, the severity of illness, duration of hospitalization. Data was analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 22 software. Values <0.05 were regarded as significant. The majority of the study population were males (63.2%), and the mean age was 44.5 years. 146 participants had at least one comorbidity, with hypertension (61.5%) and diabetes (17.1%) being the most common. The mortality rate was (12.5%), and a higher proportion of patients with comorbidities died compared to those with no comorbidity. The trend of the morbidity and mortality pattern of patients with COVID-19 within the isolation and treatment facility showed higher adverse outcomes among those who presented with comorbid illnesses. Therefore, public enlightenment, vaccination, early detection, and targeted care for COVID-19 cases, especially those with comorbidities, are recommended.

Os governos, mediante legislações específicas, preveem e destinam recursos financeiros para a gestão ambiental. Considerando isto e a necessidade de verificar como esse recurso é alocado, o presente artigo teve por objetivo analisar o comportamento das despesas com gestão ambiental no orçamento dos estados da Amazônia Legal entre os anos de 2005 a 2015, identificando como cada estado designou e aplicou recursos para a gestão ambiental dentre as suas subfunções. Utilizou-se pesquisa documental-descritiva, de cunho quantitativo; e dados de despesas totais e de despesas com gestão ambiental, na forma de despesa liquidada, extraídas do site do Tesouro Nacional. Os estados do Mato Grosso, Pará, Amazonas e Acre são os que mais destinaram recursos para a área ambiental. Quanto à participação da despesa com gestão ambiental nos orçamentos governamentais, observou-se que a gestão ambiental correspondeu a menos de 1% dos orçamentos dos estados da Amazônia Legal no período analisado.

A atenção básica à saúde (ABS) é um conjunto de ações de saúde envolvendo a promoção, prevenção, diagnóstico, tratamento e reabilitação da população. Conhecer o perfil e necessidades da demanda das Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBSs) é uma das estratégias à fim de proporcionar melhorias em saúde. Definindo o perfil dos usuários e doenças mais prevalentes, é possível criar uma agenda de prioridades para intervir nestes problemas. Objetivo: analisar o perfil de usuários atendidos pelo setor de nutrição de uma UBS do Meio-Oeste catarinense entre os anos de 2019 e 2020 e identificar as principais doenças para a procura pela Unidade. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, documental de abordagem quantitativa, com a análise de prontuários. Foram selecionados 284 prontuários para as análises. Resultados: a amostra fora predominantemente do sexo feminino (64,8%), com média de idade de 41 e 60 anos (51,8%). O estado nutricional que prevaleceu nos adultos foi de obesidade grau I e em idosos foi a eutrofia. A obesidade, diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e as dislipidemias foram as patologias prevalentes com 21,1 %, 13,7 % e 12%, respectivamente. Conclusão: O estudo auxiliou para uma melhor caracterização dos usuários da UBS, fornecendo maiores informações, as quais podem ser utilizadas à um futuro planejamento e aperfeiçoamento de programas no âmbito da saúde, principalmente em relação às ações de alimentação e nutrição. Ficando evidente também a importância do nutricionista na AB, em que este tem papel fundamental na prevenção de doenças e controle do estado nutricional dos usuários.
