ABSTRACT

Ernest Shackleton ha sido en la historia, un personaje que dejó huella como ejemplo de resiliencia y liderazgo. En 1914 realizó como jefe de expedición su segundo viaje antártico, frustrado por el hundimiento de su buque insignia. La operación de rescate del grueso de la tripulación varada en el continente más meridional lo llevó a recalar en Montevideo. Desde este puerto partió el buque Instituto de Pesca N°1, con tripulación de Uruguay y Shackleton incluido, no logrando completar el salvamento. De esta acción nació el aprecio hacia la persona del explorador por parte del gobierno de la República. En su postrer travesía, ya fallecido llegó a las Islas Georgia del Sur y a su cuerpo se le realizó un proceso de conservación para ser traído a nuestro país y continuar viaje al puerto de origen en Inglaterra. Es en esa circunstancia que el gobierno del doctor Baltasar Brum solicitó a la Comisión Permanente del Parlamento, se le rindieran honores fúnebres de Ministro de Estado. El embalsamado del cuerpo fue realizado el 30 de enero de 1922, por parte de personal médico y técnico del Hospital Militar, así como los honores que le rindieron por el Servicio de Sanidad del Ejército y la Armada.


Ernest Shackleton has been in history, a character who left his mark as an example of resilience and leadership. In 1914, as expedition leader, he made his second Antarctic voyage, frustrated by the sinking of his flagship. The operation to rescue the bulk of the crew stranded on the southernmost continent led him to Montevideo. The Instituto de Pesca N°1, with Uruguayan crew and Shackleton included, departed from this port, but was unable to complete the rescue. From this action was born the appreciation of the explorer by the government of the Republic. In his last voyage, when he died, he reached the South Georgia Islands and his body underwent a preservation process to be brought to our country and continue his voyage to the port of origin in England. It is in this circumstance that the government of Dr. Baltasar Brum requested the Permanent Commission of the Parliament to pay him the funeral honors of a Minister of State. The embalming of the body was carried out on January 30, 1922, by medical and technical personnel of the Military Hospital, as well as the honors rendered by the Army and Navy Health Service.


Ernest Shackleton deixou sua marca na história como um exemplo de resiliência e liderança. Em 1914, ele fez sua segunda viagem à Antártica como líder da expedição, frustrado pelo naufrágio de seu navio principal. A operação para resgatar a maior parte da tripulação encalhada no continente mais ao sul o levou a Montevidéu. O Instituto de Pesca N°1, com tripulação do Uruguai e Shackleton incluído, partiu desse porto, mas não conseguiu concluir o resgate. Essa ação deu origem ao reconhecimento do explorador pelo governo da República. Em sua última viagem, quando morreu, chegou às Ilhas Geórgia do Sul e seu corpo foi preservado para que pudesse ser trazido ao nosso país e continuar sua viagem até o porto de origem na Inglaterra. Foi nessa circunstância que o governo do Dr. Baltasar Brum solicitou ao Comitê Permanente do Parlamento que lhe prestasse as honras fúnebres de um Ministro de Estado. O embalsamamento do corpo foi realizado em 30 de janeiro de 1922, pela equipe médica e técnica do Hospital Militar, bem como as honras prestadas a ele pelo Serviço de Saúde do Exército e da Marinha.

ABSTRACT

The challenges of practicing medicine in small ships on remote sites involve limited resources, lack of specialized support, and longer interactions with a patient in an isolated environment. This report describes the successful management of a patient who suffered a major injury after fell from the stairs in an expedition ship in the Southern Ocean in the Antarctic route. The patient was managed by the onboard physician for four days until the medical evacuation was possible.


Los desafíos de practicar la medicina en barcos pequeños en sitios remotos implican recursos limitados, falta de apoyo especializado e interacciones más prolongadas con el paciente en un entorno aislado. Este manuscrito describe el manejo exitoso de un paciente quien sufrió un trauma mayor producto de una caída en un barco de expedición en el Océano Austral en la ruta Antártica. El paciente fue manejado por el médico de a bordo durante cuatro días hasta que fue posible realizar la evacuación médica.

ABSTRACT

ANTECEDENTES Y OBJETIVO A raíz de la pandemia por COVID-19 y con el objetivo de limitar su propagación, el Gobierno de Chile ha implementado diferentes medidas para identificar tempranamente casos nuevos, aislar rápidamente los casos confirmados e indicar cuarentena a sus contactos estrechos. Los protocolos o definiciones epidemiológicas se han ido adecuando en la medida que aumenta el conocimiento respecto al comportamiento del SARS-CoV-2 y a la contingencia epidemiológica. Actualmente, el Ministerio de Salud se encuentra evaluando las condiciones que exigirá a cruceros para operar en aguas chilenas. En consecuencia, el equipo del Reglamento Sanitario Internacional del Departamento de Epidemiología solicita esta síntesis con el objetivo de describir los requisitos de la operación de cruceros y medidas para los pasajeros establecidas en diferentes países. METODOLOGÍA Primero se elaboró un listado de los países con mayor concurrencia de pasajeros de cruceros. Posteriormente, se identificaron organismos internacionales de referencia en materias de salud pública y asuntos marítimos. Luego de establecer los países y organizaciones de interés, se buscó en sus páginas gubernamentales. Se complementó con una búsqueda no estructurada de buscadores web no científicos. Se incluye información de 10 países: Estados Unidos, España, Italia, México, Reino Unido, China, Bahamas, Jamaica, Australia e Israel. 4 organismos internacionales RESULTADOS Las condiciones aplicadas por los países o las recomendadas realizadas por organismos internacionales son las siguientes: -Cruceros: monitoreo y reporte de la situación epidemiológica; protocolos de la naviera para la prevención y mitigación de riesgo sanitario; fortalecimiento de insumos y de profesional médico a bordo; adquisición de seguros médicos en caso de brotes; adquisición de seguros o acuerdos con residencias para aislamiento o cuarentena; entrenamiento, requisitos y protección a la tripulación; distanciamiento y reducción del número de pasajeros al 50% de la capacidad máxima. -Pasajeros: ausencia de síntomas o de indicación de aislamiento, uso de mascarilla, distanciamiento físico, realización de test para COVID-19 y presentar certificado de vacunación en caso de poseerlo. -Algunos países mantienen cerradas las actividades de cruceros en sus costas, otros las han restringido a viajes domésticos y otros no las han iniciado por decisión de las propias navieras.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To apply the THOR 2 multi-criteria support system to select the Brazilian navy's most suitable hospital care vessel (NAsH) to support the fight against the covid-19 pandemic. METHODS: We used the first three stages of the Soft Systems Methodology for structuring and modeling of the problem. For the evaluation and ordering of alternatives, we used the Thor 2 multi-criteria support system, comparing four classes of NAsH in the light of their operational and hospital criteria: "Dr. Montenegro," "Soares Meirelles," "Oswaldo Cruz" and "Tenente Maximiano." The chosen ship would support the amazon hospital system, which has an increasing number of cases of covid-19. RESULTS: After the application of the methods, we analyzed three distinct scenarios of ordering the alternatives, which allowed a robust sensitivity analysis, conferring greater transparency and reliability to the decision-making process. The NAsH "Oswaldo Cruz" was selected to be used in the fight against the pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: This study brings valuable contribution to academia and society, since it represents the application of a multi-criteria decision-aid method in the state of the art to contribute to the solution of a real problem that affects millions of people in Brazil and worldwide.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivos. Evaluar el riesgo entomológico de Aedes aegypti durante el recorrido fluvial en embarcaciones con rutas fronterizas de Loreto. Materiales y métodos . La población de estudio fueron los mosquitos presentes en tres embarcaciones con rutas fronterizas en Loreto. El riesgo entomológico de Aedes se determinó mediante ovitrampas, revisión de criaderos, colecta e identificación taxonómica de mosquitos adultos. Resultados . El riesgo entomológico varió según trayecto y época. Se identificó un riesgo entomológico medio a muy alto en época de creciente y en la ruta de ida hacia las zonas fronterizas. La población vectorial predominante en época de vaciante fue Mansonia sp. (74,8%), Culex sp. (12,8%) y Aedes aegypti (0,4%); en creciente predominó Culex sp. (45,1%), Mansonia sp. (26,8%) y Aedes aegypti (19,7%). En ningún caso se evidenció Aedes albopictus. Conclusiones. Existe riesgo entomológico de moderado a alto durante la etapa de creciente en las embarcaciones fluviales que viajan desde Iquitos hacia las zonas fronterizas de Loreto. Nuestros resultados evidencian que las embarcaciones fluviales son un medio de dispersión de Aedes aegypti.


ABSTRACT Objectives. To assess the entomological risk of Aedes aegypti in boats traversing border river routes in Loreto. Materials and Methods. The study population consisted of mosquitoes present in three boats covering border routes in Loreto. The entomological risk of Aedes was determined through ovitraps, the inspection of breeding sites, and the collection and taxonomic identification of adult mosquitoes. Results. The entomological risk varied according to the route and the season. A medium to very high entomological risk was identified in the high-water season and on the outward route to the border areas. The predominant vector population in the low-water season was Mansonia sp. (74.8%), Culex sp. (12.8%), and Aedes aegypti (0.4%); in the high-water season, Culex sp. (45.1%), Mansonia sp. (26.8%), and Aedes aegypti (19.7%). In no case did we find Aedes albopictus. Conclusions. There is moderate to high entomological risk during the high-water season in riverboats traveling from Iquitos to the border areas of Loreto. Our results show that river boats are a means of expansion of Aedes aegypti.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo: Conhecer a prevalência de manifestações oculares em trabalhadores portuários e identificar fatores associados. Métodos: Estudo transversal em um Porto marítimo do extremo Sul do Brasil. Participaram 232 trabalhadores. Para coleta dos dados utilizou-se entrevista estruturada. Foi utilizado teste t de Student para amostras independentes, a fim de comparar as médias dos trabalhadores com manifestações oculares, por meio dos qualificadores em grau no mínimo moderado (presença de manifestações oculares) e aqueles sem manifestações oculares ou grau leve (ausência de manifestações oculares). O teste de Mann-Whitney foi utilizado no caso de assimetria. O teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson ou o teste exato de Fisher foram usados para comparar proporções e a análise de Regressão de Poisson foi usada para controlar os fatores de confusão. Resultados: A prevalência de manifestações oculares autorreferidos foi 92,2%. As manifestações oculares foram: coceira/prurido (49,1%), irritação (41,4%), ardor (39,2%), lacrimejamento (34,9%), sensação de cansaço (32,3%), alteração na pigmentação ocular (26,7%), dor (17,7%), ressecamento dos olhos (14,2%) e sensação de pressão atrás dos olhos (9,9). A utilização de filme para envelopar mercadoria contribuiu para maior prevalência de manifestações oculares. Já a utilização de luvas como equipamento de proteção individual auxiliou na menor prevalências dessas manifestações. Conclusão: Acredita-se que os achados do presente estudo possam subsidiar a avaliação clínica do enfermeiro na abordagem de trabalhadores portuários, assim como direcionar o planejamento e a implementação de cuidados socioambientais condizentes com as necessidades de saúde desses e de outros trabalhadores.

Abstract Objective: To understand the prevalence of ocular manifestations in port workers and identify associated factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in a seaport in southern Brazil. A total of 232 workers participated in the study. Structured interviews were applied for data collection. Student's t-test was used for independent samples to compare the means of workers with ocular manifestations, applying qualifiers with a moderate minimum level (presence of ocular manifestations) and with a low level or without ocular manifestations (lack of ocular manifestations). The Mann-Whitney test was used for cases of asymmetry. Pearson's Chi-square and Fisher's exact test were carried out to compare the rates, whereas Poisson Regression was used to control the confounding factors. Results: The prevalence of self-reported ocular manifestations was 92.2%. Ocular manifestations were: itching/pruritus (49.1%), rash (41.4%), burning (39.2%), lacrimation (34.9%), fatigue (32.3%), change in ocular pigmentation (26.7%), pain (17.7%), eye dryness (14.2%), and pressure sensation behind the eyes (9.9%). The use of film for wrapping goods contributed to a higher prevalence of ocular manifestations. The use of gloves as personal protective equipment led to a lower prevalence of these manifestations. Conclusion: The findings of the current study may contribute to the clinical assessment of nurses in approaching port workers, as well as to guide the planning and implementation of social and environmental care in line with the health needs of these or other workers.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to analyze an injury scene during fly fish boat riding (FBR).METHODS: We conducted survey on 12 patients who had humerus shaft fractures during FBR between 2011 and 2016 at three university-based emergency rooms. Individual information, injury mechanism, classification of humerus shaft fracture, and combined injury were recorded from medical document and telephone interview.RESULTS: The injury happened when the kite was turned over and fall into the water in 10 patients (82%); the kite was turned over in the air in one patient (9%), and a leash between kite and boat was broken in one patient (9%). All patients showed 12-B1 or 12-B3 type distal humerus shaft fracture. And there were combined contralateral distal humeral shaft fractures in two patients, vertebral compression fracture in one patient, and radial nerve injury in four patients.CONCLUSION: Riding position and injury mechanism such as turning over may affect distal humerus shaft fractures with butterfly fragment during FBR.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: analisar a contribuição da formação em enfermagem para a (re)construção da identidade profissional de enfermeiros e sua expressão pós-ingresso no mercado de trabalho. Método: estudo qualitativo com abordagem socio-histórica, realizado entre setembro de 2013 a maio de 2014, que utilizou a história oral, em entrevistas com dezesseis egressos e quatro docentes do curso de Enfermagem e Obstetrícia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Resultados: ma análise de conteúdo constatou-se a importância da formação na construção da identidade profissional de enfermeiros, mas que estes também contribuíram para o reconhecimento da profissão. Reconhecendo-se, nesta dialética, que os processos de socializações, ao mesmo tempo em que influenciam a construção de identidades dos sujeitos são por eles reestruturados. Conclusão: evidenciou-se a ação educativa dos docentes, não só como mediadores da aprendizagem, mas por promoverem também o reconhecimento social e contribuírem à constituição da identidade profissional desses egressos.


Objective: to examine the contribution of nursing education to (re)constructing nurses' professional identity and its expression after their admission to the labor market. Method: this qualitative, socio-historical study was conducted between September 2013 and May 2014, using oral history in interviews of sixteen graduates and four professors of the Nursing and Obstetrics course at Rio Grande do Norte Federal University. Results: content analysis showed the importance of training in the construction of nurses' professional identity, but the nurses themselves also contributed to gaining recognition for the profession. It was recognized that, in this dialectic, socialization processes both influence the construction of subjects' identities and are restructured by them. Conclusion: evidence was found of the educational action of teachers, not only as mediators of learning, but also by their fostering social recognition and helping constitute the professional identity of these alumni.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: Understand the structuring and operation of the Nursing Service on the hospital ship HOPE and the relations between Nursing from North America and from Rio Grande do Norte. Method: Qualitative, sociohistorical research, developed by consulting documentary and oral sources. Results: The analysis revealed the categories: The HOPE Project: impressions of its nurses and Nursing on the hospital ship SS HOPE: Brazilian impressions. These categories revealed a Nursing Service similar to that of a general hospital, ordered by scales and which functioned uninterruptedly in the three shifts. Final considerations: The Nursing Service consisted exclusively of nurses; followed a hierarchical system; with accumulation of administrative and care functions; strict, precise and technical execution of the work. The language and cultural barriers do not seem to have compromised the Exchange and the work system in counterparts.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar o impacto da Agência Barco na inclusão financeira da população ribeirinha da ilha de Marajó. Para tal, foram coletados dados via observação direta e entrevistas com clientes e funcionários da Agência Barco na ilha de Marajó, os quais foram analisados por meio de análise léxica e de conteúdo. As categorias obtidas foram, então, interpretadas vis-à-vis um modelo de inclusão financeira desenvolvido a partir da literatura existente. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que a Agência Barco tem conseguido fornecer, parcialmente, acesso a produtos e serviços financeiros. Entretanto, a falta de educação financeira básica da população ribeirinha da ilha de Marajó tem sido um obstáculo para o adequado uso dos serviços financeiros disponíveis, impedindo uma inclusão financeira sustentável.


Resumen Esa investigación tiene por objetivo evaluar el impacto de la Agência Barco en la inclusión financiera de la población de las riberas de la isla de Marajó. Así, han sido recolectados datos por médio de observación directa e de entrevistas semi-estructuradas con los clientes e empleados de la Agência Barco en la isla de Marajó, los cuales han sido analizados por médio de análises léxica y de contenido. Las categorias obtenidas fueran interpretadas vis-à-vis un modelo de inclusión financeira desarollado desde la literatura existente. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que la Agência Barco há logrado éxito en suplir, parcialmente, acceso a los productos y servicios financieros. Sin embargo, la falta de educación financiera básica ha impedido que la poblácion haga uso adecuado de los servicios financieros ofertados, lo que ha impedido una inclusión financiera sostenible.


Abstract This research aims to assess the impact of the Agência Barco (a branch of a bank that operates in a boat) on the financial inclusion of the riverine population of the Marajó island. Empirical research was carried out through direct observation and semi-structured interviews applied to users and employees of the Agência Barco. Lexical and content analyses were then applied in order to identify the elements for the financial inclusion of this population. The categories obtained through this technique were interpreted vis-à-vis a financial inclusion model developed from the existing literature. The research results show that the Agência Barco has managed to supply partial access to financial products and services. However, the lack of basic financial education of the riverine population of the Marajó island has hindered adequate use of the financial services provided, hampering sustainable financial inclusion.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Maintenance operations on-board ships are highly demanding. Maintenance operations are intensive activities requiring high manemachine interactions in challenging and evolving conditions. The evolving conditions are weather conditions, workplace temperature, ship motion, noise and vibration, and workload and stress. For example, extreme weather condition affects seafarers' performance, increasing the chances of error, and, consequently, can cause injuries or fatalities to personnel. An effective human error probability model is required to better manage maintenance on-board ships. The developed model would assist in developing and maintaining effective risk management protocols. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop a human error probability model considering various internal and external factors affecting seafarers' performance. METHODS: The human error probability model is developed using probability theory applied to Bayesian network. The model is tested using the data received through the developed questionnaire survey of >200 experienced seafarers with >5 years of experience. The model developed in this study is used to find out the reliability of human performance on particular maintenance activities. RESULTS: The developed methodology is tested on the maintenance of marine engine's cooling water pump for engine department and anchor windlass for deck department. In the considered case studies, human error probabilities are estimated in various scenarios and the results are compared between the scenarios and the different seafarer categories. The results of the case studies for both departments are also compared. CONCLUSION: The developed model is effective in assessing human error probabilities. These probabilities would get dynamically updated as and when newinformation is available on changes in either internal (i.e., training, experience, and fatigue) or external (i.e., environmental and operational conditions such asweather conditions, workplace temperature, ship motion, noise and vibration, and workload and stress) factors.

Trata-se de listas de passageiros embarcados em Hamburgo e desembarcados em São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina, entre 1851 e 1889, traduzidas para o português, cujos originais fazem parte do acervo do Arquivo Histórico de Joinville, Santa Catarina. Basicamente, o conteúdo destas fontes inclui as "fichas técnicas" referentes a cada navio e à viagem relacionada, os nomes dos passageiros (constando ou não o nome dos familiares e outros acompanhantes), a idade, profissão, proveniência (geralmente local de origem), estado civil (quando era o caso), religião e observações diversas anotadas pelos tradutores.


Abstract The purpose of this text is to critically present a set of documents related to immigration. The lists of passengers who boarded in Hamburg and landed in São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina, between the years 1851 and 1889, translated to Portuguese, whose original documents are part of the Historical Archive of Joinville, SC. Basically, the contents of these sources include the "factsheets" concerning each vessel and each trip, the passengers' names (including names of family members and other accompanying persons), age, profession, place of origin (usually place of birth), marital status (when applicable), religion, and various observations noted by translators.

ABSTRACT

A 25-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with a painful and swollen right forearm. She had just sustained an injury from an accident during which her arm was tightly wound by a rope as she was lowering a net from a fishing boat. Before being released, her arm was rigidly trapped in the rope for approximately ten minutes. Radiographs revealed anterior dislocation of the radial head that was accompanied by plastic deformation of the proximal ulna, manifested as a reversal of the proximal dorsal angulation of the ulna (PUDA); suggested a Monteggia equivalent fracture. With the patient under general anesthesia, we reduced the radial head by posterior compression at 90° of elbow flexion and at neutral rotation of the forearm. However, the reduction was easily lost and the elbow re-dislocated with even slight supination or extension of the arm. After the osteotomy of the ulnar deformity to restore the PUDA to normal, the reduction remained stable even with manipulation of the arm. We found that the patient could exercise a full range of motion without pain at the 3-month follow-up, and neither residual instability nor degenerative changes were observed at the final 3-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The olfactory bulb is anatomically exposed and thus can be directly damaged by external stimulation. This can occur as an occupational injury owing to contact with organic solvents or other causes. We present cases of eight patients who sustained occupation-related exposure to potentially toxic substances and later presented with signs and symptoms of anosmia. We examined the occupational and medical characteristics of the patients and evaluated their work-relatedness. CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1: A 50-year-old man performed high-frequency heat treatments for approximately 11 years. He experienced decreased senses for olfaction and taste during the later years culminating in the diagnosis of anosmia after 3 years (high work-relatedness). Case 2: A 54-year-old man whose work involved exposure to various organic solvents, such as spray painting and application of paint and thinners for approximately 4 years, was subsequently diagnosed with anosmia based on rhinorrhea, headache, and loss of olfaction (high work-relatedness). Case 3: A 44-year-old-man who performed spray painting for approximately 17 years developed anosmia (high work-relatedness). Case 4: A 44-year-old man was involved in ship engine cleaning once a month, for approximately 7 h per cleaning session; he was diagnosed with anosmia based on loss of olfaction (low work-relatedness). Case 5: A 41-year-old man worked in ship building block construction for approximately 13 years; anosmia diagnosis was based on loss of olfaction (low work-relatedness). Case 6: A 47-year-old woman performed product inspection and labeling at a plant manufacturing automobile parts; anosmia diagnosis was based on decreased olfaction and taste (low work-relatedness). Case 7: A 50-year-old woman performed epoxy coating in a plant manufacturing automobile parts; anosmia diagnosis was based on diminishing olfaction (low work-relatedness). Case 8: A 57-year-old woman performed cleaning of the area where mobile phone parts were manufactured; anosmia diagnosis was based on diminishing olfaction (low work-relatedness). CONCLUSION: The study results confirmed work-relatedness when the subject was young, and the duration of exposure was long without any other cause of anosmia. Regarding compensation for occupational diseases, work-relatedness can be recognized as a relative concept.
