In this article, the impacts generated by the inspection of excess weight in commercial vehicles on the BR153 highway in the municipality of Gurupi / TO are addressed. There is a great dependence of the industry on road transport, the inconsistencies of the national inspection system, the need to collect traffic data for decision making, the dimensioning of a new pavement or reinforcement taking into account the number “N” That represents the parameter of the traffic request to the pavement. In the study, it is concluded that excess weight in commercial vehicles is one of the main factors in the destruction of Brazilian highways and in the considerable decrease in useful life. And, finally, the impacts of the inspection of excess weight were evidenced, such as the reduction of the degradation of the pavement and the prevention of accidents caused by the traffic of overweight trucks.

The urban environment must be a place where user comfort is achieved. In many cases, however, urban environments do not offer adequate conditions of comfort, be it thermal, acoustic, luminous or visual. The city itself is a major climate change, due to the large paved areas and the decrease in green spaces, the air layer in urban areas tends to be warmer than in rural areas. In addition, the human activity developed in cities generates profound changes in the local climate, which can also alter the temperature and rainfall in the region in this way. The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of urban vegetation on the temperature and relative humidity of the air. in the municipality of Gurupi in order to awaken the possibility of proposing urban projects and constructions using wooded areas. For analysis and comparison of the influence of vegetation on the aspects of thermal comfort / temperature and air humidity, the measurements will be carried out in five areas in the central region of the municipality of Gurupi-TO, for data collection, a digital thermometer will be used. collection of environmental parameters of temperature and relative humidity of the air. As for the relative humidity values, area 01 showed an average of 36%, area 2, average humidity in 34%, in area 3, the average was 34%, in area 4 averages 38% and in area 5 averages of 40%. The results allow to assist the planning of the city of Gurupi, which can be adopted for proposing urban spaces with a higher quality of life for the population.

This study aimed to assess the incidence of reported cases of women infected with syphilis during pregnancy and who lived in the Northeast region of Brazil, in the period 2013-2020. It was an epidemiological, cross-sectional and descriptive research that used data obtained from the Notifiable Disclosure Information System (Sistema de Informação de Agravo de Notificação), available on the electronic platform of the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System (Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde). Between 2013 and 2020, 63,908 cases of gestational syphilis were reported in the Northeast region of the country, with 2018 having the highest number of cases. It was found that syphilis had a higher number in young pregnant women, between 20-29 years old, brown in color and with low education, which revealed that the disease affects mainly the most vulnerable populations, with reduced access to health, education and information. The lower occurrence happened to women ager over 40, indigenous and yellow skin women and those with higher graduation degree. The Ministry of Health has been evolving in the control of gestational syphilis, creating strategies to strengthen health care networks, and this commitment is perceived from the year 2019, with the significant drop in notifications compared to previous years. And this effort needs to be maintained, with the help of the entire population, so that not only the Northeast region, but the whole of Brazil is able to control and increasingly reduce the incidence of this disease in pregnant women.

The thermal performance of a building is an important factor in homes when it is concerned with offering the user the thermal comfort that the user is entitled to have. A building must be designed for the climate in which it is inserted in order to have a greater potential in providing thermal comfort, and still save energy. This work aimed to evaluate the thermal performance, according to the guidelines of the Brazilian Performance Standard NBR 15575 of a single-family building located in the city of Águas Belas-PE, Brazil. The evaluation of thermal performance was performed through two procedures present in NBR 15575: the simplified procedure and the computational simulation. As a methodology, an exploratory research and a case study were carried out. The evaluation through the simplified method was given by calculations of thermal transmittance and thermal capacity of the building envelope, that is, of the facade walls and roof. The computational simulation was performed using the EnergyPlus program, which with climatic information and a three-dimensional model of the building was able to test the climatic conditions on the building and determine its thermal behavior. The results obtained through the analysis by the two procedures previously mentioned were compared and analyzed according to the requirements of NBR 15575, were small divergences between them was noted. Computer simulation proved to be more effective when compared to the simplified procedure.

Museums are important spaces that stimulate reflection, creativity and help in the process of knowledge construction and teaching-learning for teachers, students and the community. The objective of this work was to carry out a state of the art of scientific articles from 2011 to 2020, in relevant journals, with the theme of science and biology in Brazilian museums, through a bibliographic documentary analysis. The journals analyzed have qualis A1 and A2 in the area of Teaching and Education and they were chosen based on the Platform Sucupira of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - Capes. Forty-six articles were found and from their analysis, it was observed that the main theme found was museums with areas of natural/general sciences, with the largest number of works in the Museum of Astronomy and Related Sciences and Espaço Ciência Viva Museum, being the Southeast region predominant with the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The main target audience of the research was museum staff and elementary school teachers, and qualitative analysis was the most used approach. The results found reveal few works developed about science/biology in museums in Brazil, but that the existing works demonstrate diversification regarding museum spaces, methodological tools for obtaining data and target audience, and reinforce the importance of museums as places of democratization of science.

The goal of this review was to synthesize the evidence in the literature about the behavioral changes in obese patients after bariatric surgery. A search was carried out on the bases of the Virtual Health Library (VHL) which includes LILACS, MEDLINE, MEDCARIB, P.A.H.O. / W.H.O. (World Healht Organization), PAHO (Pan American Health Organization) and W.H.O.L.I.S. (World Health Organization Library Information System); PubMed; EBSCO; SciELO and Scopus from January 2010 to December 2020. For this search, the combination of the following terms was used: “Bariatric Surgery” OR “Bariatric Surgery” AND “Feeding Behavior” OR “Feeding Behavior”. The original studies were included, the main outcome, the behavioral changes after bariatric surgery in obese patients, written in Portuguese and English. The final analysis was composed of 13 articles. Among these artciles, 84.6% were performed in the last 5 years, 61.5% of the studies used longitudinal designs, predominantly obese patients with the Body Mass Index (IMC) ≥ 35 kg/m2, age range 31 to 52 years and most studies were carried out in Brazil 30.7%, Israel 15.4% and the United Kingdom (15.4%). The changes in eating behavior after bariatric surgery were an increase in snack and candy eaters, food intolerance and altered palatability, difficulty in eating protein and fatty foods. Related to the emotional behavior, there was a change in mood, an increase and / or reduction in depressive and anxiety symptoms, and an increase in impulsivity. As a conclusion, after bariatric surgery, obese patients show changes in eating and emotional behavior.

The first contact of pregnant women with the health service should be based on actions based on the reception and attention to health demands, with a contribution to humanized and qualified care. The work aims to identify the meanings and perceptions of puerperal women about humanized childbirth according to the literature. It is an integrative review, this method allows to unite and summarize results of research on the perception of puerperal women about humanized and systematic childbirth, contributing to strengthen the health strategies and improvements of the nurse's work. The data were interpreted, synthesized and conclusions were drawn from the various studies included in the integrative review. It is understood that the suffering in childbirth is mitigated with the actions of the nurse and the team, the mother has greater acceptability with health professionals, contributing strongly to the application of humanized practices. This analysis leads us to make more assertive decisions in the services offered in maternity hospitals, based on policies aimed at this audience, nursing professionals and multidisciplinary teams must be aligned with the objectives of changes in their practices in order to improve care. for women.

Understand the scientific evidence about psychological and social determinants related to the emergence of mental disorders in the puerperium. The present study was developed through an integrative review of an exploratory caracter, the databases used in this research are indexed: LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences) and MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analyses and Retrieval System Online). During the research it was evidence that psychological changes and social factors in the lives of women can trigger psychosocial problems causing serious mental disorders. Affective and professional monitoring must be necessary from the beginning of gestational life, to the postpartum and puerperium period, in order to prevent damage to the woman's physical and mental health. Therefore, it is important to know all the social and psychological factors of these women in order to carry out planning, support and assistance.

The National High School Exam (ENEM) has become one of the main means of entry to higher education. Mathematics has an influence on the final average, and it is elaborated according to the contents that must be addressed throughout basic education. In this sense, the study aimed to analyze and describe which content is most addressed, what are the difficulties students face when faced with these Mathematics issues present in the ENEM tests, thus proposing strategies to minimize these difficulties. This is a descriptive, exploratory and applied study, in which, initially the exams from 2012 to 2018 of ENEM were analyzed, in which the questions were quantified by attributing their respective contents. Then, questionnaires (pretest) were applied to students in the 3rd year classes of the Federal Institute of Piauí (IFPI) Cocal campus and the Deputado Pinheiro Machado High School, which had 7 questions. Subsequently, an intervention was held on the subject most addressed in ENEM. After this intervention was applied post-test with a total of 8 questions. Analyzing the evidence, it was found that the most addressed content was statistics, in which 70 questions were quantified. With the pretest, students attributed the concept of statistics correctly but failed to interpret most of the questions. After the intervention and after the post-test students performed better, the fact that has been proven by performance in the resolutions of the issues. Through the study, it is concluded that the students have difficulties, as well as the interpretation and understanding of graphs and tables.

The malignant neoplasm that is defined as cancer is a pathology with characteristics of uncontrolled cell enlargement that triggers an accumulation of malignant cells. Palliative care requires intervention in the care of patients in early, advanced or terminal stages, stimulating a process of easing or controlling the signs and symptoms. In this context, the role of the physiotherapist is to act in a complementary way to palliative treatment, with the aim of improving the individual's recovery, restoring the functions of different parts of the body. The objective of this work is to discuss the importance of physical therapy intervention in oncology, with a focus on palliative care. Refers to a narrative literature review. For this article, manual searches were made on the Google Scholar platform and selected articles related to the theme. From the data presented, the role of physical therapy intervention is related to rehabilitation in all stages of the disease, in which pain is the most relevant occurrence causing great discomfort to the patient. Physiotherapy is an important area in the treatment of terminally ill patients, rehabilitating the motor condition and, therefore, inserting this individual in the resumption of functional independence. Finally, studies prove that physiotherapy has an important role in palliative care, however, definitions of care for palliative patients are necessary to be propagated among physiotherapists and research is necessary for a good professional improvement.

The Cerrado-Amazonas ecotone occupies 4.85% of the Brazilian territory, with almost 60% of its area deforested. Inadequate soil management practices cause changes in the physical, chemical and biological soil attributes. This study aimed to characterize soil chemistry in different management systems, identifying its efficiency. Ten areas were divided into two soil classes (Ultisol and Entisol               quartzipsamment), each comprising a management system (1 - silvopastoral with 30% shade (SP30), 2 - silvopastoral with 60% shade (SP60), 3 - secondary forest, 4 - native forest, 5 – pasture conventional (CP)). The samples were collected at depths of 0-10, 10-20 and 20-40 cm. The chemical attributes of the soil analyzed were pH, P, K +, Ca2 +, Mg2 +, H + Al3 +, Al3 +, sum of bases (SB), effective cation exchange capacity (CEC), CEC at pH 7, saturation base (V%) and aluminum saturation (m%). The data were submitted to principal component analysis and analysis of variance and Tukey's test (p <0.05). There were minor changes in the attributes analyzed in the Entisol management systems, comparing the other systems with the reference system (native forest); however, SP30 was more suitable, as it increased the pH and the values of essential cations in the soil. In Ultisol, the SP60 and CP systems showed higher averages in the studied attributes, it is inferred that these systems have similar efficiency in land use, positioning them as the best systems studied in this soil class.

Objective: to evaluate actions developed in childcare and factors related to child health follow-up. Method: cross-sectional, analytical research, with data collection between 2017 and 2018, with first contact in the maternity hospital, 24 hours after delivery; and in households after six months, with the participation of 280 mothers. For analysis, the Chi-square association test or Fischer's exact test was performed, with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: most childcare consultations were carried out by nurses, incompletely, between 1 and 4 (46.1%), in basic health units. Low income and a greater number of children made the consultation more difficult (p<0.001). Immunization and neonatal screening have shown favorable results; risk stratification and home visits did not happen. Anthropometry was the priority action in childcare. Conclusion: epidemiological factors and deficits in nursing care contribute to weaken adherence in childcare.Incluir o resumo em inglês.

Objective: To analyze the profile of notified SARS cases and results obtained by a Public Health Reference Laboratory. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study, developed from the notification forms and notified results of SRAG obtained through the LACEN-GO Surveillance Nucleus. The Epi info 3.5.4 software was used to transcribe the results, analyze the variables contained in the notification form and the Chi-square test (x2). Results: 691 SRAG notification forms and their reported results were analyzed. The average age of the cases was 33 years, the main biological sample was the secretion of the oro and nasopharynx and for the identification of the viral etiology, the RT-PCR was used. Regarding the epidemiological profile, most of the cases were female, non-pregnant, had an education higher than 8 years, were not vaccinated and there was a need for the use of antiviral drugs. The main signs and symptoms were cough, fever and respiratory distress. The main comorbidity was chronic cardiovascular disease. There was a need for hospitalization, the main radiological pattern found was the interstitial infiltrate and the intensive care unit was used. The main viral etiologic agent diagnosed was the Influenza A / H1N1pdm09 virus. Conclusion: The epidemiological surveillance of Influenza through SARS Notification, including surveillance of SG in sentinel units, is an important tool for public health and has become the fundamental factor for the prevention, containment, surveillance and therapeutic management of patients.

The present work is based on the hypothesis that the cultivation of different vegetation coverings could suppress the weed seed bank, in addition to improving soil conditions and increasing productivity. The objective of this work was to evaluate the weed seed bank with different vegetation cover. The experimental design used was in randomized blocks with nine treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of vegetable coverings: crotalaria (Crotalaria juncea), millet (Pennisetum americanum), forage turnip (Raphanus sativus), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), Urochloa brizantha, U. piatã, U. ruziziensis, seed mixture (forage turnip + millet) and fallow. The germinative flow of weeds was evaluated from soil samples, taken from the areas where the treatments were sown and taken to the greenhouse, where the quantification and identification of germinated weed seeds was carried out. The families Asteraceae, Convolvulaceae and Fabaceae stood out with the highest number of vegetation coverings. The use of plant coverings reduces the emergence of weeds from the seed bank. The turnip, turnip + millet and U. piatã coverings were the ones that most reduced the germination flow of weeds, while fallow, crotalaria and Urochloa ruziziensis had less capacity to reduce this flow.

In the testicles, the expression of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 receptors makes it more susceptible to infection by Sars-CoV-2 and, therefore, to male infertility with significant health problems for the patient. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the clinical pathophysiology and the mechanisms involved in the genesis of male infertility from COVID-19, through the critical analysis of the main scientific evidence on the subject presented so far. From an integrative review of the literature containing 30 studies selected using inclusion criteria in the period 2020-2021, the direct and indirect impacts on male fertility in pathophysiological and psychosocial terms were observed in this study, in addition to therapeutic options, guidelines host and efficient semiological approach. Thus, the impact of the pandemic, even after one year, is immeasurable. Additional studies to reveal the real consequences and the mechanism by which the disease can affect male fertility are still needed. It is essential to pay more attention to male genital exams in patients with COVID-19. The psychobiological consequences of the pandemic in infertile patients should not be underestimated.

This article discusses the Municipal Education Systems and the Municipal Education Councils as mechanisms of democratic management.

The first forestry schools were created in the Western Europe in the mid-eighteenth Century. In the late of 19th Century, Forest Education was structured to intervene in forestry ecosystems and ensure the sustainable management of their resources. Thus, forestry chain advanced in the quest for higher value and quality solutions. In the early of 20th Century, Timber Education was designed to approach the wood and its processing. Then, this paper aimed to examine, in the global and Brazilian scenarios, Forest Education and Timber Education to understand their features, chronologies and perspectives. Broad consultations in the websites of universities and scientific literature were carried out to ensure the necessary information to support discussions. Forest and Timber Education undergraduate courses have been titled by different designations, where generalist nomenclatures are frequent in the forestry areas and more specific names are common in the wood fields. The Forestry Education initiated in Europe and spread across the world over two centuries, arising in Brazil in the middle of the 20th Century. From modern industry technologies, the Timber Education was developed in the Northern Hemisphere, and it spread globally over a century until its insertion in Brazil at the end of the 20th Century. A student decline has been globally observed in these careers, reasons why new stimuli and policies are required by a society eager for sustainable bioproducts and genuinely concerned about environmental issues.

Introduction: The influence of biological rhythmicity on the regulation of several systems, including the gastrointestinal system, is well known. In this context, several recent studies relate the release of melatonin, as an important substance in the healing of ulcerative lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Objective: To investigate studies and evidence about the role of melatonin as a complementary treatment for gastroduodenal ulcers and its relationship with chronobiology. Methodology: This is an integrative review study, carried out through an active search in the Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), PubMed, Science Direct and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) databases in August 2020. Results: In several of the studies analyzed, the administration of melatonin proved to be effective and safe to accelerate the rate of healing of gastroduodenal ulcers of different etiologies due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Conclusion: Although there is innumerable evidence, the literature is still scarce regarding the treatment or pre-treatment of ulcers with melatonin, either alone or in conjunction with other drugs.
