A existência de condições de trabalho inadequadas resulta em novas formas de adoecimento dos trabalhadores e desencadeia o aumento de acidentes e doenças relacionadas ao ambiente laboral. O objetivo foi identificar e caracterizar os acidentes de trabalho graves e fatais registrados no Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador do Distrito Federal. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo descritivo com abordagem quantitativa, caracterizado por uma amostra geograficamente definida, com base nos dados do Sistema Nacional de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN/NET) notificados durante os anos de 2014 e 2015. Os achados revelaram que no período destacado foram notificados 997 casos de acidentes de trabalho graves e fatais. As notificações foram predominantemente com o gênero masculino (n= 872; 87,46%) na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos (n= 898; 90,07%), que desenvolviam a ocupação de pedreiro (n= 118; 11,83%). A maioria dos acidentes ocorreram nos locais de trabalho (n=554; 55,5%), desencadeando fraturas da extremidade distal do rádio (n=32; 3,2%). A emissão da Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho (CAT) foi feita em 13,54% (n= 135) dos casos. Conclui-se que o reconhecimento dessas características é essencial para o planejamento de estratégias de prevenção de acidentes graves e fatais no trabalho, no entanto, ressalta-se a necessidade de investigação das principais causas de acidentes com ações de vigilância em saúde do trabalhador no ambiente de trabalho. Abstract The existence of inadequate working conditions results in new forms of sickness of workers and trigger the increase of accidents and diseases related for their working environment. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize serious and fatal occupational accidents recorded in the Reference Center on Occupational Health of Federal District. This is a retrospective descriptive study with a quantitative approach, characterized by a geographically defined sample, based on data from the Health Information Systems reported during the years 2014 and 2015. The findings revealed that has been reported 997 cases of serious and fatal occupational accidents in the period. The reports were predominantly male (n = 872, 87.46%) in the age range of 20 to 59 years (n = 898, 90.07%), whose occupation is bricklayer (n = 118, 11, 83%). Most of the accidents occurred at work sites (n = 554, 55.5%), triggering fractures of the distal radius (n = 32, 3.2%). The Communication of Occupational Accidents was done in 13.54% (n = 135) of the cases. It has been concluded that the recognition of these characteristics is essential for planning strategies to prevent serious and fatal occupational accidents, however, it is highlighted the need to investigate the main causes of accidents with surveillance actions on occupational health for their working environment.Keywords: Occupational Health, Occupational Accidents Registry, Health Information Systems.

The work of recycling solid waste segregators allows a precarious livelihood, but triggers a disease process that exacerbates their health and well-being. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of occupational accidents at the open dump in the Federal District and its associated factors. Most segregators have had an accident at work (55.5%), perceived the danger of their working environment (95.0%) and claimed they did not receive personal protective equipment (51.7%). Among other findings, 55.8% ate foods found in the trash, 50.0% experienced food insecurity at home and 44.8% received Bolsa Família. There was a statistically significant relationship between work accidents and perception of dangerous work environment, household food insecurity and the presence of fatigue, stress or sadness (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the fellowship between the segregators was associated with a lower prevalence of accidents (p < 0.006). Women are the majority of the segregators (56.5%) and reported more accidents than men (p < 0.025). We conclude that the solid waste segregators constitute a vulnerable community, not only from the perspective of labor, but also from the social and environmental circumstances. To reverse this situation, effective implementation of the National Policy of Solid Wastes is imperative, in association with affirmative policies to grant economic emancipation for this population.

AbstractRapid development of community health information networks raises the issue of semantic interoperability between distributed and heterogeneous systems. Indeed, operational health information systems originate from heterogeneous teams of independent developers and have to cooperate in order to exchange data and services. A good cooperation is based on a good understanding of the messages exchanged between the systems. The main issue of semantic interoperability is to ensure that the exchange is not only possible but also meaningful. The main objective of this paper is to analyze semantic interoperability from a software engineering point of view. It describes the principles for the design of a semantic mediator (SM) in the framework of a distributed object manager (DOM). The mediator is itself a component that should allow the exchange of messages independently of languages and platforms. The functional architecture of such a SM is detailed. These principles have been partly applied in the context of the HEllOS object-oriented software engineering environment. The resulting service components are presented with their current state of achievement.

The problems encountered in achieving data security within computer-supported information systems increased with the development of modern computer systems. The threats are manifold and have to be met by an appropriate set of hardware precautions, organizational procedures and software measures which are the topic of this paper. Design principles and software construction rules are treated first, since the security power of a system is considerably determined by its proper design. A number of software techniques presented may support security mechanisms ranging from user identification and authentication to access control, auditing and threat monitoring. Encryption is a powerful tool for protecting data during physical storage and transmission as well.Since an increasing number of health information systems with information-integrating functions are database-supported, the main issues and terms of database systems and their specific security aspects are summarized in the appendix.
