O objetivo deste texto é refletir sobre as relações etnico-raciais a partir do pensamento e prática pedagógica decolonizadora no enfrentamento do racismo. Tomamos como questões de pesquisa algumas inquietações: De que forma o negro (a) é representado historicamente no contexto brasileiro? Como as discussões contra o racismo estão presentes no campo educacional? Em que amplitude as questões de racismo e do antirracismo no âmbito da história da educação no Brasil caminham para o pensamento decolonial? A metodologia adotada para esta discussão, volta-se a revisão bibliográfica e análise documental em Análise de Conteúdo (AC) proposto por Bardin (2006, 2011). Uma das conclusões que este estudo levantou é o apontamento da necessidade de reflexões conjuntas para a prática pedagógica decolonial e a partir disto os efeitos que o racismo provoca na identidade étnico-racial dos sujeitos sociais presentes na escola possam ser colocados em prática para uma educação antirracista.Palavras-chave: Educação antirracista.

We take as concerns research questions some concerns: How is the black person (a) historically represented in the Brazilian context? How are discussions against racism present in the educational field? To what extent do the issues of racism and anti-racism within the scope of the history of education in Brazil move towards decolonial thinking? The methodology adopted for this discussion, turns to bibliographic review and document analysis in Content Analysis (CA) proposed by Bardin (2006, 2011). One of the conclusions raised by this study is the need for joint reflections for decolonial pedagogical practice and from this the effects that racism causes on the ethnic-racial identity of social subjects present at school can be put into practice for an anti-racist education.Keywords: Anti-racist education.

As histórias infantis são ferramentas para o desenvolvimento cognitivo, emocional e social da criança. Utilizando-se de histórias para o cuidado com o outro, a Biblioterapia apresenta-se como ferramenta econômica, democrática e eficaz para intervenções psicossociais com vista à promoção de saúde mental. O objetivo desse trabalho é realizar uma curadoria de histórias infantis promotoras de saúde mental para serem utilizadas em intervenções de Biblioterapia. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e exploratório, realizado por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica a partir do acervo de livros do Programa Criança Feliz (PCF) executado em um município do nordeste brasileiro. A amostra final da pesquisa foi composta por 54 livros do acervo indicados à Primeira Infância, com até 50 páginas, contendo texto e ilustrações. Na etapa da coleta, todos os livros da amostra foram lidos para identificação da temática central, com triagem daqueles que abordavam temas relacionados à Saúde Mental. Identificou-se que 14,81% dos livros abordavam algum tema relacionado à saúde mental. Na análise de conteúdo, emergiram quatro categorias temáticas: Violência psicológica, abordada pela maioria da amostra; Vínculos parentais; Separação conjugal e Inteligência emocional. Apesar do significativo potencial da literatura infantil para promoção da saúde mental na primeira infância, ficou evidente um déficit de livros com esse perfil na composição do acervo investigado. Ademais, salienta-se a importância de que outros livros abordando uma maior diversidade de temas que impactam a Saúde Mental sejam incorporados ao acervo de políticas públicas.

Carbon capture and geological storage (CCS) is a key technology for the World deep decarbonization. However, several challenges remain, such as the optimization of the carbon transportation infrastructures. This study proposes a methodology that applies the Kernel Density function in a geographic information system software and uses as input, CO2 emission sources data to identify emission clusters and emission high-density hotspots. The main goal of the proposed methodology is to perform a preliminary screening to identify areas of interest to install hubs when designing an optimized CO2 pipeline network. The methodology includes an estimation of capturable CO2 emissions and a density analysis that was based on Kernel Density function from the ArcGIS Desktop 10. The methodology was applied to the Iberian Peninsula CO2 industrial emission sources such as refineries, coal and natural gas power plants and cement factories (case study) and the results showed that in Portugal, CO2 industrial emissions reduction can reach up to 68% and, in Spain, up to 74% of CO2 industrial emissions, could be avoided. These are called capturable CO2 emissions which means that they are the portion of the total emissions that can be captured from industrial processes before they reach the atmosphere. Moreover, hubs were shown to be more viable when Portugal and Spain are considered together, therefore, carbon routes (pipeline network) in the future may consider an integrated route for the Iberian Peninsula. ; - Thanks to Professor Fernando Gomes Martins from the University of Porto.

ABSTRACT: Explosives are widely used in extraction of ores, melts and fuels and in the safe and economical demolition of structures. These applications demonstrate the value of explosives to society and the reason why they are manufactured worldwide despite the hazard of their preparation. Hence, this paper focuses on the manufactory of the military explosive Hexogen (also known as RDX). The characteristics of the process are described by the analysis of a specify manufactory plant. The chosen analysis tool is the Hazard and Operability Study - HazOp. Historically, this methodology has been applied at chemical industries and is used in industrial process operability analysis. This study analyses seven critical nodes in the RDX manufacturing process, identifies several deviations, and causes and consequences. From these results, improvements in the units are suggested and actual conditions discussed. It is important to remark that this work is an initial approach to analysis of the manufacturing process of RDX using the HazOp methodology.

Cardiovascular risks are now an epidemiological reality among adults and teenagers. This scenario leads to impairments in quality of life and represents a burden in healthcare and government costs. This study aimed to evaluate the association between risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, quality of life, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and anthropometric parameters on university students in Fortaleza/CE, Brazil. It was a descriptive, crossectional, correlational study, made through epidemiological assessment in young university students, with primary data and quantitative analysis. The results showed a negative influence of daytime sleepiness and fatigue on the overall quality of life. Functional capacity, a component of the quality of life, which represents the ability to perform tasks and activities in their life, and limitations due to emotional aspects could impact a person's well-being and health. Moreover, excessive daytime sleepiness showed a strong correlation with almost all domains of quality of life. It was found that although volunteers did not show a low quality of life, fatigue levels and sleepiness presented as relevant variables. There is a need to comprehend and control these variables to promote students' health and, consequently, to live healthier adulthood. ; O atual cenário epidemiológico de risco cardiovascular já é uma realidade entre adultos jovens e preocupa por implicar em diminuição da qualidade de vida das populações, além de custos elevados e crescen­tes para governo e sociedade. O estudo objetiva avaliar a associação entre fatores de risco cardiovascular, qualidade de vida, sonolência diurna, fadiga e indicadores antropométri­cos em uma amostra de universitários da cidade de Fortaleza/CE, Brasil. Decorre de um estudo descritivo transversal correlacional, a partir de levantamento epidemiológico em universitários, com dados primários e modelo de análise quantitativo. Os resultados apontam a influência deletéria da sonolência diurna e a fadiga na qualidade de vida. A capacidade ...

In order to obtain robust and measurable data from the marine environment, citizen science projects need user-friendly tools that, during dives, autonomously gather information in an easy, low-cost and integrated way. Data collected from different devices and by different untrained divers must have good estimation of the position where the information has been acquired. With this goal, in the context of the Green Bubbles project, a novel platform, called DocuScooter has been designed and developed. DocuScooter implements all the algorithms to filter and merge data with correct timestamp and position preparing the complete mission report. After the mission, the diver can upload the report on an appropriate web service to produce a 3D documentation. In order to obtain the underwater position during the dive, a tailored device compatible with the platform is also presented. Result of the prototype of the platform and the first results of the position estimation algorithm are presented and discussed. ; This paper has received funding from the European Union (EU)'s H2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 643712 to the project Green Bubbles RISE for sustainable diving (Green Bubbles).

A cross-sectional study was carried out between January 2012 and May 2014 to investigate the status of bovine tuberculosis in the state of Espírito Santo. The state was divided into two regions, and in each of them, 300 farms with reproductive activity were randomly selected and considered as the primary sampling units. In the selected farms, a fixed number of female bovines aged over 2 years were randomly selected to undergo a comparative cervical tuberculin test; an epidemiologic questionnaire was also applied. In the state of Espírito Santo, the apparent prevalence of tuberculosis-positive farms was 7.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.7-9.9). Prevalence at the herd level varied from 4.6% (95% CI = 2.6-7.3) in region 1 to 11.1% (95% CI = 7.7-15.3) in region 2. The apparent prevalence of tuberculosis-positive animals was 0.7% (95% CI = 0.3-1.1) in the state, and the prevalence varied from 0.3% (95% CI = 0.2-0.6) in region 1 to 1.2% (95% CI = 0.3-2.9) in region 2. The risk factors associated with tuberculosis prevalence in Espírito Santo were the number of adult females ? 10 (odds ratio [OR] = 2.40; 95% CI = 1.17-5.31) and milking type (milking machine/milking parlor) (OR = 2.88; 95% CI = 1.36-5.86]). The state of Espírito Santo should set up a surveillance system to detect and control bovine tuberculosis, taking into account the importance of dairy farms and animal trade in the state.

A cross-sectional study was carried out between January 2012 and May 2014 to estimate the prevalence of bovine brucellosis in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. This study was carried out 11 years after the implementation of the immunization program for heifers with a vaccine derived from the S19 strain of Brucella abortus. The state was divided into two regions. Three hundred farms from each region, with reproductive activity, were randomly chosen and included as primary sample units. A fixed number of cows were randomly selected and tested for antibodies against Brucella spp. A farm was considered to be infected when at least one female tested positive for Brucella spp. In the selected farms, an epidemiological questionnaire based survey, focused on herd traits as well as husbandry and sanitary practices, was conducted, to evaluate the factors associated with the risk of infection. The overall prevalence of infected herds was 9.3% (95% confidence interval, 95% CI = 7.1–11.8%), varying from 8.7% (95% CI = 5.7–12.6%) in region 2 to 9.7% (95% CI = 6.8–13.4%) in region 1. There was no significant difference in the prevalence between the regions. The apparent prevalence of Brucella spp. positive farms across the regions and the state was similar to the prevalence observed 11 years earlier. The prevalence of positive animals was 3.8% (95% CI = 0.9–10.1%), varying from 1.5% (95% CI = 0.8–2.4%) in region 1 to 7.9% (95% CI = 1.9–20.3%) in region 2, without a significant difference between the regions. There was no difference in the number of Brucella spp. positive animals after 11 years of the immunization program. The risk factors associated with brucellosis were (i) more than 10 cows per herd (OR = 5.0; 95% CI =2.5–11.1) and (ii) equipment, feedstock, or personnel sharing (OR = 2.2; 95% CI = 1.1–4.2). The state of Espírito Santo should seek systematic vaccination coverage targeting more than 80% of the eligible heifers. An efficient animal health program, which educates the farmers to test replacement animals for brucellosis before introducing them to their herds, to avoid equipment, personnel or feedstock sharing with farms of unknown sanitary conditions, and to increase awareness of the importance of good sanitary procedures during artificial insemination, should be implemented.
