title: Improvement in Primary Care access and quality: the perspective of Community Health Workers

description: ABSTRACT The study aimed to describe how the participation of Community Health Workers (CHW) took place in the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care (PAQI-PC), and to evaluate their perspective regarding improvements in both the access and the quality of Primary Care (PC). This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with quantitative approach, carried out with 133 CHWs linked to family health teams that joined the program. Results pointed out the need of greater efforts by municipalities to encourage the involvement of CHWs in evaluation processes and to improve their training, aiming at adjusting their level of apprehension and awareness of both the access and the quality in primary care.

title: Screening and characterisation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) producing lactic acid bacteria isolated from Thai fermented fish (Plaa-som) in Nong Khai and its application in Thai fermented vegetables (Som-pak)

description: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the capability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from different kinds of fermented fish products (Plaa-som) on the production of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Among them, isolate L10-11, identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, offered the highest GABA production and was selected for further study. The highest production of GABA was obtained within 48h from the de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) medium, having a pH range of 5-6. Increasing the monosodium glutamate (MSG) concentration resulted in a higher accumulation of GABA and reached the highest concentration (15.74 g/L) using 4% (w/v) MSG, while high residual MSG was also observed in accordance with concentration increase. On the other hand, the addition of NaCl in the culture medium by up to 7% (w/v) did not suppress GABA production. Preliminary application of strain L10-11 as starter producing GABA was investigated in Thai fermented vegetables (Som-pak). It was found that GABA formation could be observed increasingly following the concentration of MSG added. GABA content in Som-pak was 5 times higher than that of control when inoculating Lb. plantarum L10-11 and adding MSG at 1% (w/v). In addition, sensory evaluation revealed that addition of this starter culture to Som-pak gave overall acceptability slightly higher than that which allowed fermentation to occur spontaneously. This alternative procedure would be successful for improving the nutritional quality of functional fermented food.

title: Analysis of factors influencing and conditioning social participation in Primary Health Care

description: ABSTRACT This study is aimed at identifying and analyzing the factors that influence and condition the decision to participate in Local Health Commissions, participatory spaces located in the Basic Health Units (Unidades Básicas de Saúde - UBS). Twenty-one members were interviewed and data were analyzed using the Collective Subject Discourse technique. The idea of participation was verified in the users' discourses as a means for the population to access the functioning of the UBS and to the commission itself. Workers used the principles of primary care to justify their participation. Managers, on the other hand, aware of the importance of these forums for users, seek to develop democratic and supportive management practices.

title: Development of hard technology for the treatment of diabetic foot: a case study from the perspective of public health

description: ABSTRACT This is a case study that is aimed at analyzing, from the perspective of public health, the process of development of medical equipment for the treatment of diabetic foot performed by the partnership between the Ministry of Health (MS) and the University of Brasilia (UnB) from December 2016 to January 2019. The analysis observed the behavior of the research group responsible for the production of hard technology in the face of the difficulties in transforming the research into a product with market potential that can be assimilated into the coverage of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), concomitantly with the participation of public health in overcoming some barriers. The partnership between MS and UnB was used as a case study, supported in the qualitative research model with emphasis on methodological processes of mixed typology, but prioritizing participatory observation methods whose unit of analysis is linked to public health. The results showed that the contribution of public health on the production of hard technology minimized gaps for the probable transformation of the idea into a product assimilated by SUS. The participation of public health narrowed the gaps between the areas of knowledge involved, bringing the university closer to a private initiative and regulating institutions.

title: The concept of reception in Eliseo Verón’s work: 1968 - 2013

description: Abstract The concept of reception runs through the work of Eliseo Verón - 1968-2013. Initial studies emphasize the dimension of time for the production of meaning. They highlight processes that involve specific moments for the definition of the signification, in which a message is said and received. Little attention has been paid for this aspect, but it is an issue that would demand a lot in the future. The actors’ role is pointed out, since rebuilding recognition grammars assumes the work with the individual word. The pertinence of the idea of “grammars” is developed - its deficiencies and different logics - for the formulation of theory of recognition, from the articulation production/reception.

title: Cultural mediation in Espírito Santo State Public Archives

description: The aim of the article is to present the partial results of a doctoral research on Information Science. The general objective was to discuss the practices of cultural mediation in the Public Archive of the State of Espírito Santo and identify to what extent these practices are the result of a partnership between the Archive and the Department of Culture. Based on a literature review, we discuss the conceptual differences between diffusion and cultural mediation in archives and map the practices of cultural mediation in the Public Archive in order to discuss the impact of the partnership with the Department of Culture on these practices. The methodological procedures included the research on bibliographic sources and historical documents. It may be concluded that there is a conceptual distinction between diffusion and cultural mediation and that this difference is essential to support the practices described and mapped. It may also be concluded that although the Public Archive of the State of Espírito Santo plays a role among cultural institutions, the Department of Culture hardly ever includes the Public Archive in its planning and few activities have been developed in partnership with the institution. So, the practices of cultural mediation of the Public Archive in the studied period have been executed marginally of the state cultural policy.

title: Life cycle assessment of four potable water treatment plants in northeastern Colombia

description: Abstract There is currently great concern about the processes that directly or indirectly contribute to the potential for global warming, such as stratospheric ozone depletion or acidification. In this context, and provided that treated water is a basic public utility in urban centers around the world as well as in some rural areas, its impact on the environment is of great interest. Therefore, this study applied the environmental methodology of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the environmental loads of four potable water treatment plants (PWTPs) located in northeastern Colombia following the international guidelines delineated in ISO 14040. The different stages of the drinking water process were thoroughly assessed, from the catchment point through pumping to the distribution network. The functional unit was defined as 1 m3 of drinking water produced at the plant. The data were analyzed through the database Ecoinvent v.3.01, and modeled and processed in the software LCA-Data Manager. The results showed that in plants PLA-CA and PLA-PO, the flocculation process has the highest environmental load, which is mostly attributable to the coagulant agent, with a range between 47-73% of the total impact. In plants PLA-TON and PLA-BOS, electricity consumption was identified as the greatest impact source, with percentages ranging from 67 to 85%. Treatment processes and techniques, bioclimatic conditions and culturally driven consumption behavior varied from region to region. Furthermore, changes in treatment processes and techniques are likely to affect the environment during all stages of a plant's operational cycle.

title: Disinfection of Fertile Eggs of Free-Range Poultry with Essential Oils

description: SUMMARY The effect of the disinfection of fertile eggs of free-range poultry with essential oils from Cymbopogon flexuosus and Lippia rotundifolia was evaluated. The treatments applied to the eggs were (v v-1): 1% essential oil from C. flexuosus (CF), 1% essential oil from L. rotundifolia(LR), 0.1% CF + LR, and 0.1% quaternary ammonia (QA) (positive control). The eggs were incubated for 21 days, the birds from hatched eggs were counted and weighed, and not hatched eggs were opened and examined macroscopically to determine egg fertility, and embryonic death time. The antimicrobial action of the essential oils was determined through quantitative analyses, considering aerobic mesophylls, filamentous fungi, yeasts, and total coliforms. Mortality was high in the treatments, especially in the treatment with essential oil from C. flexuosus. The highest hatchability was found in the treatment with QA. The treatments with singly or combined essential oils were more efficient in decreasing microbial count than QA. The essential oils from C. flexuosus and L. rotundifolia reduced the microbial load of fertile eggs of the free-range poultry evaluated.

title: Executive function in systemic arterial hypertension: A systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) may be associated with worse cognitive performance, especially in tasks that evaluate the executive functions (EF). Objective: we aimed to review the evidence regarding which components of executive functions are most affected in adults with SAH. Methods: this systematic review used the PRISMA statement for searching Pubmed, Scielo and Lilacs databases with the keywords “executive function OR executive functioning AND hypertension”. Results: EF tasks were divided into shifting, inhibitory control and updating. A total of 9 cross-sectional and 3 longitudinal studies were selected. Only 3 studies did not report worse performance among SAH patients on EF tasks when compared to normotensive controls. The measures of shifting and inhibitory control were the most frequently investigated and reported as altered among SAH individuals, assessed mainly by the Stroop Test and Trail-Making Test part B, respectively. Conclusion: inhibitory control and shifting are the EF components most influenced by SAH. The results of this review may contribute to the devising of hypotheses about mechanisms underlying these cognitive impairments.

title: Evaluation of pharmaceutical services in primary health care in the care of patients with tuberculosis

description: ABSTRACT The Pharmaceutical Assistance integrates Primary Health Care services, contributing to the control of diseases, such as tuberculosis, with great impact on health. In order for that to happen, the pharmaceutical services must have adequate structure in its basic care units, as well as teams to develop and to process qualified work, which are important attributes for the evaluation studies. This work is the result of an evaluation guided by structured quality criteria and standards, and pharmaceutical work process in order to assist patients with tuberculosis in two health units (A and B) in Salvador-Bahia, through systematic observation, semi-structured interviews directed to pharmacists and managers, and patients' samples. The result of this study showed that unit A presented deficiencies in structure, unlike unit B. In the work process, the pharmaceutical services were poorly developed in unit A, but fully developed in unit B. It was possible to observe a clear relation between the structure and the work process in the pharmacy services for the care of the patient with tuberculosis: the pharmacy with the greatest deficiency in the structure presented low consolidation in the work process, and the pharmacy with the best structure presented full consolidation in the pharmaceutical services.
