Socioeconomic profile of producers and dairy technological of farms in the southern mesoregion of Santa Catarina

This study characterized the socioeconomic profile of milk producers and dairy technological of farms in the southern mesoregion of Santa Catarina. Following a 6.5% sampling of total farms by municipality, 95% confidence level, 5% sampling error, and group heterogeneity, data were collected from 308 farms, 22 of which were excluded due to insufficient data. The farmers were selected randomly, and information extracted from an electronic form, addressing social, economic, technical and technological issues. The data were analyzed using factor, cluster, and discriminant analysis. As farms with the main activity of dairy farming, they have an average area of 20.79 hectares and a production of 12.18 liters per animal per day. I n the factor analysis, the first factor was related to the area and productivity of farms and the second factor to sanitary control and the feed variety of the animals. The cluster analysis formed three clusters; the first and the second were composed of larger farms and areas, and the other consisted of smaller farms, the latter involving more producers. As farms are characterized by low production, there is clearly a deficiency in technical support for producers.

Perception of public school students about animal welfare and the occurrence of the topic in education books

In current time, it is evident the necessity of animal welfare education policies. Animal welfare is defined as the state of an individual attempting to adjust to the environment and education material can encourage dialogue inside schools. We aimed to verify the presence or absence of animal welfare related content in school books and survey the perceptions of the students about the subject, associating with the socioeconomic profile of the school district and with the overall school performance in the SARESP test. This study was performed between July and November, with seven of the twenty-two public schools in the city of Araçatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. Seven books were collected for analysis from each school, totalizing 49 books, and 430 students answered a survey with 10 questions. The statistical analysis did not show relevant difference between biological gender, age, grade and socioeconomic profile and animal welfare knowledge perception. This study concluded that in most of the analyzed books, animal welfare topics are absent, and that there is no difference between the schools’ socioeconomic profile and animal welfare knowledge perception of the students.

COVID-19 NA AMAZÔNIA LEGAL: a centralidade do trabalho e a disseminação em Araguaína-TO

COVID-19 IN THE LEGAL AMAZON: the centrality of the work and its dissemination in Araguaína-TOCOVID-19 EN LA AMAZONIA LEGAL: la centralidad del trabajo y su difusión en Araguaína-TORESUMOEm 2020, o mundo foi assolado pela COVID-19, fazendo com que países se organizassem para frear a contaminação e tratar os infectados. No Brasil, o coronavírus também se espalhou, atingindo todas as regiões. Araguaína, por ser um polo de atração econômica na Amazônia Legal, foi a primeira cidade além da capital do Tocantins, Palmas, a notificar casos. Considerando a centralidade que a atividade laboral tem no tecido social, verificamos como a doença se comportou entre os trabalhadores que, em razão de suas atividades, estão mais expostos ao contágio. Para tanto, identificamos perfil socioeconômico a partir de dados de notificação de agravo ao Centro de Referência de Saúde do Trabalhador. Como resultados gerais, temos a notificação de 522 registros, em sua maioria referentes a mulheres, pardas e com até o ensino médio. A doença afetou mais profissionais menos qualificados e com menor escolaridade. Concluímos que o controle da pandemia passa por uma atenção maior às medidas de proteção aos trabalhadores, uma vez que estão expostos à mobilidade urbana e ao próprio ambiente laboral.Palavras-chave: COVID-19; Trabalho; Araguaína.ABSTRACT In 2020, the world was devastated by COVID-19, causing countries to organize themselves to curb contamination and treat the infected; in Brazil, the coronavirus has also spread to all regions. The city of Araguaína, being a pole of economic attraction in the Legal Amazon, was the first city besides the capital of Tocantins, Palmas, to notify cases. Considering the centrality that work has in the social fabric, we check how the disease behaved among workers, who, due to their activities, are more exposed to contagion; and we identified socioeconomic profile from data on notification of injury to CEREST. As general results we have the notification of 522 records, mostly referring to women, mixed race and with up to high school. The disease affected more less qualified and less educated professionals. We conclude that the control of the pandemic requires greater attention to measures to protect workers, since they are exposed to urban mobility and the working environment itself.Keywords: COVID-19; Work; Araguaína.RESUMENEn 2020, el mundo fue devastado por COVID-19, lo que provocó que los países se organizaran para frenar la contaminación y tratar a los infectados; en Brasil, el coronavirus también se ha extendido a todas las regiones.

Prevalence of enteroparasitoses in students of a municipal school in Southwestern bahiano / Prevalência de enteroparasitoses em alunos de uma escola municipal no Sudoeste do bahiano

Introduction: Infections caused by intestinal parasites are a silent disease and their high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in children, have been reported in different studies. The high prevalence of parasites in this public is directly associated with the socioeconomic profile of the population, as well as structural development and climatic conditions of the studied regions. Objective: To describe the prevalence of enteroparasitosis in students of a municipal school in southwestern Bahia in 2019. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study conducted by applying a questionnaire and collecting parasitological material from 76 Elementary students from a city in southwest Bahia. Results: Among the studied population, 46 (60.5%) were female. Regarding age, they had an average of 8.7 years (± 1.9 years), and 36 (48%) considered themselves brown. The prevalence of enteroparasitosis was 21.1%, with Endolimax Nana (4.1%), Ascaris Lumbricoides (2.0%), Iodamoeba Butshilli (2.0%), Entamoeba Coli (14.3%), Enterobius Vermiculares (4.1%), Giardia Lamblia (6.1%). Conclusion: It was observed that the prevalence of enteroparasitosis in the children analyzed was low, with a predominance in females. This low rate may be related to factors such as the consumption of treated water and the presence of a sewage system, allied to the helminth control, prevention and monitoring work promoted by the Municipal Health Department.
