title: Factors associated with self-reported multimorbidities in workers from the municipal health network

description: Abstract Objective: to estimate the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCD) and investigate factors associated with chronic multimorbidities among workers from the municipal health network. Methods: cross-sectional study involving basic health care professionals from Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data were collected by an interview applying validated instruments. The studied population’s individual characteristics, habits and lifestyle, health and work conditions were identified. Logistics regression was used to build the multivariate models. Results: 203 of the 257 eligible workers participated in this research, 144 women and 59 men. The most prevalent morbidities were: overweight (27.0%), hypertension (17.2%) and depression/stress (16.2%). The presence of multimorbidities (28.6%) was significantly associated to age over 48 years old (odds ratio - OR: 4,28; confidence interval of 95% - 95%CI: 1.66;11.04), to the presence of common mental disorders (OR: 3.23; 95%CI: 1.50;6.96), whereas the adequate social support at work remained as a protection factor (OR: 0.25; 95%CI: 0.11;0.57). Conclusion: the presence of multimorbidities was associated with older age, presence of common mental disorders, and work organizational characteristics.

title: DEVELOPING AND EVALUATING NEW ALTERNATIVES FOR URBAN MOBILITY: A CASE STUDY OF A BRAZILIAN CITY

description: ABSTRACT Mobility and urban planning are challenging tasks for public authorities, especially in densely populated cities. The city of Olinda, Pernambuco-Brazil, faces problems in traffic and access to places, making it necessary to identify new alternatives to improve urban mobility in Olinda. This study presents a decision support model to develop and evaluate new alternatives to do so. In the decision frontend, Value-Focused Thinking was applied to identify objectives and their respective attributes, and to create alternatives based on these objectives. As a result, 69 alternatives were generated, concatenated into 48, and categorized into four groups. Group 1 and Group 2 comprise 30 alternatives that serve the city’s north side; however, they attend to the neighborhoods separately. Group 3 comprises 11 alternatives routes that serve the two areas together, this being the focus of this study, and Group four consists of 7 short-term alternatives. In the decision backend, the FITradeoff for ranking problematic method was applied to evaluate the 11 alternatives of Group 3. The study showed that it would be possible to improve mobility more urgently by making a few improvements to the itinerary on the existing routes. Therefore, the study discusses the possibility of starting to make progress in the urban system of the city by using fewer complex alternatives compared to setting up new routes.

title: Who counts? The health metric narratives of venezuelan migrants on the Colombian border

description: Abstract Colombia has been a destination country of Venezuelan migration originated by the socio-political situation of the neighboring country. One of the needs to respond to this crisis is the collection of data to make visible and monitor the health conditions of this population. Based on a qualitative study centered on interviews and ethnographic observation, the article focuses on characterizing the different inclusion and exclusion dynamics in the production of health data of the migrant population in Cúcuta, a Colombian-Venezuelan border territory. Based on the narratives of various actors who work directly at the territorial level in the collection, analysis and use of health data of the migrant population, the article problematizes the construction of the category of “migrant” within the metrics, revealing what is visible and what is ignored in the socio-technical process behind the construction of these data.

title: PRIORITIZATION OF IMPROVEMENT ACTIONS IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION: APPLICATION OF THE FITRADEOFF METHOD TO ORDER IMPROVEMENT ACTIONS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE FAILURES MODES AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS (FMEA)

description: ABSTRACT The Failures Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method is applied to different activities in order to improve production processes. Its operation allows to analyze failure modes, describe their effects, identify causes and design control systems. In addition to assessing these factors, it contributes to the formulation of various improvement actions; however, it has an intrinsic weakness when it comes to prioritizing these actions. Although recent versions acknowledge that it is convenient to regulate the beginning of the proposed actions, the method does not provide indisputable tools to establish priorities and organize action plans due to the fact that the Risk Priority Level traditional indicator has been questioned. In face of this need, this contribution proposes to complement the application of the FMEA with an individual multi-criteria compensatory method that allows actions to be programmed in a participatory manner to improve their management. This proposal provides an example of a real world application. The results and limitations of this work are presented in the conclusion.

title: Unusual parasitism site of Dermacentor nitens (Acari: Ixodidae) on a horse

description: ABSTRACT: Dermacentor nitens Neumann is the most common tick species infesting horses in the main Brazilian biomes. It has a predilection to attach to horse the ears, the nasal diverticulum, perineal and perianal regions. The infestations can generate severe damage in the ears, anemia, and the tick also acts as vector of Babesia caballi (Nuttall and Strickland), the causative agent of equine babesiosis. Our study describes unusual parasitism site of D. nitens on a female cross breed horse, approximately ten years old that presented high parasitism by ticks on the perineal and perianal region, ears, and the left eye orbit region, where an enucleation process had been performed a few years earlier. To our knowledge this is the first report of D. nitens parasitism on a formerly enucleated eye orbit.

title: Self-regulated learning and medical education: a literature review

description: Abstract: Introduction: Self-regulated learning (SRL) is the active process that students perform to achieve their learning goals. In medical education, the development of SRL is favoured by the clinical environment, hence there is potential benefit in applying this tool in the teaching-learning process, although the differences in its application scenarios require deeper analysis. Objective: The aim of this article is to present a literature review on the development of SRL, its applicability and evaluation in medical students using a validated scale, and the factors that influence it, such as teaching methods and demographic and sociocultural issues. Method: A search was performed on the Pub-med and Scielo platforms and the online Medical Education Journal for articles in English published between 2010 and 2021 using the descriptors “Self-regulated learning”. Results: The database search resulted in 198 articles, of which 100 were selected for critical analysis. Of these, 31 articles were selected based on meeting the criteria of this review. Conclusions: SRL is a contemporary educational concept and considered a pillar in the educational process. It is a valuable tool in educational psychology. Its applicability in the context of medical education proves to be effective and brings with it specificities in relation to the self-regulation of medical students. However, further studies on the subject are necessary to allow for the development of effective instructional methods to support its use.

title: The efficiency of public policies and the autonomy cost in Brazilian municipalities

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: Brazilian federalism is complex. In a country with continental dimensions, with three levels of government (central, state, and local government) and 5,570 municipalities, a federative organization is expected to be complex. The fiscal sustainability of subnational governments is a fundamental pillar of any federative structure. This research aims to verify whether the revenue generated is sufficient to pay for the municipality’s existence. Originality/value: This is a gap in the specialized literature, which usually analyzes municipalities in terms of income or expenditures but not comparing the revenue obtained by economic activity and the cost of the municipality’s existence, the main contribution of this research. Design/methodology/approach: As such, we investigated the capacity of Brazilian municipalities to generate revenues to finance their autonomies by combining the income linked to the local economic activity with the cost of the existence of each municipality into an autonomy cost index (ACI). Findings: Our analysis reveals that, of those municipalities who provided the data, one in each four does not generate enough revenues to pay for their existence. The results suggest that the ACI of Brazilian municipalities decreases with the population and business activity. Hence, our autonomy cost index performs worse in Brazil’s North and Northeast regions. This context opens space for a crucial debate and further studies within the scope of Brazilian federalism.

title: Spray deposition from a remotely piloted aircraft on the corn crop

description: ABSTRACT The use of remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) has grown in agricultural spraying around the world, but there is a lack of research data to assist users in making more assertive decisions due to its recent nature. This study aimed to evaluate spray deposition in corn using an RPA DJI AGRAS-MG-1 at two application heights compared to the application using a knapsack sprayer. Sprayings were carried out in the corn crop at the phenological stage V5-V6. The experiment consisted of three treatments and eight replications, applied with an RPA at heights of 1.5 and 3.0 m and a CO2-pressurized knapsack sprayer. The application rate was 10 L ha-1 for RPA and 115 L ha-1 for the knapsack sprayer. Flat fan spray tips were used for all treatments. Tracer deposition in the corn canopy and spray loss to the soil were evaluated using spectrophotometric detection, while coverage, density, and droplet spectrum were evaluated on water-sensitive paper. Total and effective deposition swath were also evaluated for RPA. Although droplet density provided by RPA varied between 26 and 39 droplets cm-2, the coverage was lower than 1.3%. Application using RPA at the height of 1.5 m provided tracer deposition on corn leaves similar to that carried out with the knapsack sprayer. The increase in application height to 3.0 m promoted a reduction in the deposition. Ground spraying promoted higher spray loss to the soil. The effective deposition swath consisted of 5.7 and 7.6 m for application heights of 1.5 and 3.0 m, respectively.

title: Immunochromatography screening devices for cannabinoids in oral fluid sample

description: Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is one of the most consumed drugs in the world and recent studies have associated its use with an increase in the number of traffic accidents in different countries. In many countries, like Brazil, simple and reliable methodologies are still needed for the detection of drugs on site, mainly cannabinoids, considering its prevalence of use and oral fluid (OF) has been proved as an appropriate biological matrix for this purpose. Considering that, this work aims to review previous studies on immunochromatographic devices for on-site detection of cannabinoids in OF, discussing their sensitivity, specificity, cut-offs values and confirmatory methods. This data shows the importance of choosing a screening device and it reinforces the need for its implementation in Brazil. The research was conducted on 5 databases and all original articles, published in the last 10 years, were selected. A total of 32 articles were found, providing data for 17 screening devices of distinct brands. Only 2 screening devices showed satisfactory sensitivity and specificity in the evaluated studies (≥80% and ≥90% respectively). However, it should be considered that the screening devices still have some limitations, such as a higher cut-off than those recommended by international guidelines (cut-off &gt; 2 ng/mL), therefore demonstrating the need for more studies in the area and the importance of confirmatory analysis usually fulfilled by LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS or GC-MS. Thus, the screening analyzes should not be evaluated by itself, but in association with confirmatory results and observational traits (behavioral changes), for a better understanding of the traffic scenario.
