GREENHOUSE EFFECT AND GLOBAL WARMING IN SCIENCE EDUCATION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF BRAZILIAN LITERATURE

In basic education in Brazil, there is often confusion concerning the relationship between the greenhouse effect and global warming. The present work evaluates the status of research on this issue. A systematic literature review (SLR) was undertaken, considering studies published between 2013 and 2024, obtained using the databases CAPES Journal Portal, Google Scholar, and SciELO. The review investigated four main areas: the origin and geographical distribution of the research, the teaching strategies employed, the most common misconceptions among students, and the pedagogical contributions of the approaches described in the studies. The analysis revealed a significant increase in publications on the subject, driven by global events and the implementation of public educational policies. The strategies most frequently employed included investigative activities and the socioscientific issues approach, with an emphasis on promoting a critical understanding of climate phenomena. However, misconceptions persist, particularly related to the inability to differentiate between the natural greenhouse effect and global warming intensified by human actions. The results highlighted the need to improve pedagogical practices and revise teaching materials, to deliver education that goes beyond rote learning and can encourage critical thinking and informed decision-making. It could be concluded that integrating science, society, and politics into teaching is essential in preparing students to face the challenges arising from contemporary climate change. Keywords: greenhouse effect, global warming, systematic literature review.

BEHAVIORAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH DRINKING IN AMAZON ETHNICS: A systematic review of the literature

The objective of this work is to prove the presence of disruptive behaviors due to excessive alcohol consumption by indigenous peoples. Having as a theoretical methodological contribution the carrying out of a systematic literature review, with bibliographical research being carried out through the gathering of articles found in the Google Scholar databases, CAPES journal portal and Scielo platform, published between the years 2019 and 2023 After a structured analysis of the literature review, 20 articles were selected to prepare this article. However, a significant gap in specific studies on the topic was found, which made it difficult to obtain objective results. Despite this limitation, the systematic analysis of the literature allowed a broader understanding of the problem of alcoholism in the Brazilian indigenous population. Alcohol consumption among indigenous peoples is recognized as a complex and multifaceted problem, influenced by the cultural and linguistic diversity of communities, as well as variations in consumption rates between different regions and ethnic groups. This excessive consumption has significant negative impacts on physical and mental health, social cohesion and is associated with other public health problems. Although public policies and specific interventions, such as the National Mental Health Policy, are important in addressing this problem, they face significant challenges in implementation. Therefore, integrated and culturally sensitive approaches are essential to effectively address the problem of alcohol consumption among indigenous peoples in Brazil.

Intoxicações de animais por praguicidas da classe dos carbamatos

Intentional poisoning by exogenous agents occurs with certain frequency and represents a high percentage of the causes of death in small animals in Veterinary Medicine. The carbamate popularly known in Brazil as “chumbinho”, is often linked to cases of criminal poisoning of domestic animals in the country, being sold illegally and widely used as a domestic rodenticide. The objective of this work was to discuss some types of pesticides and their toxicities, having inorganic and organic substances in their composition. A systematic review of national and international literature was carried out using the following key words: anticholinesterases, carbamates, pesticides, poisoning; using the following scientific databases for academic research: Virtual Health Library (VHL), SciELO, Scopus, CAPES Journal Portal, Google Scholar, PubMed and Biomed Central. Pesticides, with their inorganic chemical nature, appear in everyday life and are classified as organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates and others, having an immediate effect in the organism. Cases of poisoning involving toxic agents illegally sold as rodenticides are very frequent and it is noted that, in most cases, the lack of knowledge and/or lack of information on the part of owners regarding the subject are significant factors in cases of sudden death of poisoned animals treated in veterinary clinics. The best way to reduce the incidence of poisoning in companion animals can be through training veterinarians working in the area of first aid, as well as their involvement in prevention through raising awareness among the population regarding the use of these toxic agents. There is also a need for greater supervision of the illegal marketing of these chemicals by public bodies.

The relationship of health with the sustainable development goals

By 2050 the planet will face several and complex challenges: feeding 9 billion people, creating homes for 2 billion new urban residents, providing universal access to health services, clean water, affordable and renewable energy, basic sanitation, reducing poverty, reducing the consumption of goods and natural resources, reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases, so that the future becomes sustainable. Human health and disease are determined by multiple and complex factors. Threats to health are at the human-animal-ecosystems interface. Zoonoses pose risks and costs to public health and if the environment is contaminated, degraded and polluted, more diseases will be transmitted. This article specifically illustrates the importance of diverse paradigms to actual and potential threats to health. More specifically, it intends to discuss the specific aspects of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No 3 (Health and Well-Being) and its correlations with the other SDG`s and implications with the multiple dimensions of sustainability. For this, a search was carried out in the databases, SciELO, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science; and websites with magazines, ScienceDirect, CAPES Journal Portal. The importance of health is highlighted in the Magna Cartas of the countries, being considered a priority for human dignity. All areas of health are somehow linked to all SDGs, but in this text SDGs 1, 2, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 13 were highlighted. Health is an SDG that is intensive in scientific research and that it needs public policies. Poor quality in health directly affects the sustainability of the environment.

Effect of probiotics on the intestinal microbiota of preterm and low birth weight infants: systematic review

Premature infants have an immature intestinal microbiota when compared to a full-term baby, colonized with a reduced number of beneficial bacterial species and, therefore, are more likely to have their microbiota populated by pathogenic species. The administration of probiotics can positively influence the intestinal colonization of premature babies. Thus, this study aimed to systematically review evidences of the effect of administering probiotics on the microbiota of premature newborns and their safety. It was designed as follows: population (premature newborns), intervention (probiotics), comparison (placebo or no treatment), outcome (changes in the microbiota of premature newborns), study type (randomized clinical trials). The studies were searched in the Cochrane Library, Medline via PubMed and Embase databases and, in a complementary way, through manual searches on Google Scholar and the Brazilian CAPES journal portal (www.periodicos.capes.gov.br). We included 23 studies involving 3,670 preterm infants, of which 65.2% (n=15) were classified as having a low risk of bias, 17.4% (n=4) with some risk of bias and 17.4% (n= 4) with high risk of bias. Probiotics have been used in order to colonize the intestinal microbiota. Finally, some Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains tested seem to have benefits and safety for the microbiota and health of premature newborns.

The influence of lifestyle and dietary habits on the nutritional profile of medical students and other health sciences academics

A series of risk factors and changes in lifestyle habits tend to worsen in health students, due to the stressful routine. In addition to the requirement for dedication and performance, medical students are exposed to other harmful lifestyle habits, including poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, sleep disorders, stress, and mental disorders, as well as alcoholism and smoking. This work analyzed the lifestyle and habits related to the nutritional profile of academics in the health area, especially medical students, observing the main dysfunctional practices, their prevalence, associated conditions, and harmful consequences. An integrative literature review was carried out on the CAPES, SciELO and LILACS Journal Portal databases. It was found that medical students have high levels of overweight, ranging between 26% and 32.2%; and obesity ranging between 4% and 7.8%. Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as inadequate eating practices, sedentary lifestyle, alcoholism, and smoking are common, especially linked to long and stressful routines, in addition to easier access to medicines. The vulnerable position experienced by medical and healthcare students is evident, with a prevalence of lifestyle habits considered to be at risk for the development of obesity and risk factors for other chronic non-communicable diseases.
