A ONU estima que 10% da populacao brasileira sao portadores de algum tipo de deficiencia, e se sabe que desses individuos apenas 3% estao de alguma forma atendidos em programas precariamente subvencionados pelo governo. Neste artigo apresenta-se uma defesa dos direitos de cidadania do portador de deficiencia, que ainda sofre variadas formas de discriminacao. A autora enumera dez pontos basicos para o enfrentamento dos problemas que afetam o cotidiano do grupo mencionado e sugere formas de atuacao do poder publico que levem a incorporacao de acoes rotineiras em cada uma das areas da administracao municipal.

A busca por ser reconhecida como uma organização com credibilidade e comprometida com ações sociais faz com que muitas empresas tenham que investir em comunicação. Infelizmente essa não é a realidade de todas, mas algumas se destacam pelo bom relacionamento com o público. O presente trabalho busca mostrar o gerenciamento de crise de uma postagem da grife FARM, no meio on-line, cobrada por representar elementos da cultura negra através de modelos brancas e como a forma de se posicionar no mercado a ajudou a não agravar negativamente a percepção da marca no universo de seus clientes.

Propylene glycol (PG) has been described as responsible for contact allergy and irritant reactions, but there are a lot of non-conclusive studies reporting a different percentage of patients irritated, with diverse concentrations and doses applied. As this substance is contained in a large amount of products, we reviewed its irritant capacity and the appropriate concentration to be tested. PG from two different origins was tested in 230 healthy volunteers. We applied 25 µl of PG at two different concentrations (70 and 100%). PG from origin B (PGB) was tested furthermore with two different qualities. Biophysical measurements were performed in those subjects patch-tested with PGB and its acute dermal irritation was tested in human skin culture. After 48 h results did not show any difference between PG from both origins and qualities. After 96 h PGB was slightly more irritant than PGA. Biophysical measurements only increased significantly in the subjects with a positive allergic reaction and there were no differences in the in vitro test. PG is not valid as pattern of irritation even at 100% concentration because it irritates a small percentage of patients. The recommended concentration should be between 30 and 70% in water, and the 100% concentration could be used in non-reactive patients.
Telemetry is a key, widely used tool to understand marine megafauna distribution, habitat use, behavior, and physiology; however, a critical question remains: "How many animals should be tracked to acquire meaningful data sets?" This question has wide-ranging implications including considerations of statistical power, animal ethics, logistics, and cost. While power analyses can inform sample sizes needed for statistical significance, they require some initial data inputs that are often unavailable. To inform the planning of telemetry and biologging studies of marine megafauna where few or no data are available or where resources are limited, we reviewed the types of information that have been obtained in previously published studies using different sample sizes. We considered sample sizes from one to >100 individuals and synthesized empirical findings, detailing the information that can be gathered with increasing sample sizes. We complement this review with simulations, using real data, to show the impact of sample size when trying to address various research questions in movement ecology of marine megafauna. We also highlight the value of collaborative, synthetic studies to enhance sample sizes and broaden the range, scale, and scope of questions that can be answered. ; A. M. M.

This report provides an in-depth overview about the research on technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Sub-Saharan Africa, to identify gaps in the research and provide the impetus for further research and the formation of international research networks in TVET in Sub-Saharan Africa. This report (in English) is an expanded and revised version of an earlier report, published in 2019 in German (https://lit.bibb.de/vufind/Record/DS-184013). The present report covers the research design (methodological approach) of the report; the quality and relevance of the publications found on TVET; the concept and practice of TVET; stakeholders in TVET research and their networks; topics, perspectives and current debates of TVET research; a systematic review of reliable studies on TVET in SS; models for the design, development and delivery of TVET; gender issues; key state actors; the importance of non-governmental actors in TVET; national standards, guidelines and quality frameworks; challenges that arise when implementing guidelines and political decisions; influencing institutional framework conditions; networks for research. The final chapter offers a summary and — based on this — directs our attention to possible future developments regarding TVET and TVET research. A number of appendices present additional information, such as an annotated bibliography, the full bibliography for the report, the methodology for the interviews and structured community review, and the results of the structured community review, as well as a list of additional materials for the report.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma represent global health problems for all age groups. Asthma and rhinitis frequently coexist in the same subjects. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) was initiated during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999 (published in 2001). ARIA has reclassified AR as mild/moderate-severe and intermittent/persistent. This classification closely reflects patients' needs and underlines the close relationship between rhinitis and asthma. Patients, clinicians, and other health care professionals are confronted with various treatment choices for the management of AR. This contributes to considerable variation in clinical practice, and worldwide, patients, clinicians, and other health care professionals are faced with uncertainty about the relative merits and downsides of the various treatment options. In its 2010 Revision, ARIA developed clinical practice guidelines for the management of AR and asthma comorbidities based on the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. ARIA is disseminated and implemented in more than 50 countries of the world. Ten years after the publication of the ARIA World Health Organization workshop report, it is important to make a summary of its achievements and identify the still unmet clinical, research, and implementation needs to strengthen the 2011 European Union Priority on allergy and asthma in children.
