Fresh and pasteurized orange juice analysis by TXRF

Orange is considered the main product of the Brazilian citrus agro-industrial complex. However, in the end of 2016, the ANVISA pointed out orange as a risky product due to contamination using pesticides in its cultivation. Therefore, in this context, an analysis of the chemical elements present in fresh and pasteurized orange juices becomes extremely relevant. Thus, this work aims to quantify the elements that are present in fresh and pasteurized orange juices, using the TXRF technique. Samples of fresh orange juice of Pêra variety were acquired in a store in the city of Londrina-PR, were analysed; three samples of oranges were purchased at a store in Itápolis, São Paulo and five more samples of Pêra orange were obtained in the rural area. Samples of pesticides used in orange cultivation were quantified, and three different trademarks of pasteurized juice were analysed. In some of the samples that were collected in Itápolis-SP market, lead (Pb) element was quantified, however its concentration was within the limit established by Brazilian legislation. The aluminium (Al) element was detected in all samples of pasteurized orange juice, showing the influence of the packaging on the elemental concentration of the juice. All pesticides quantified in this work showed a significant concentration of some micro-contaminants, but when the pesticide was diluted in deionized water, those micro-contaminants could not be quantified.

Evaluation of implementation of the primary, secondary and tertiary prevention measures of the Surveillance Program of Gestational and Congenital Toxoplasmosis in the city of Londrina-PR.

Toxoplasmosis acquired during pregnancy is one that can lead to death or malformations of the foetus, and it is a complex disease to diagnose. The objective of the study was to evaluate the Surveillance Program of Gestational and Congenital Toxoplasmosis. To assess primary prevention, 424 pregnant women were interviewed regarding their knowledge of prevention measures in 2019. Secondary prevention measures were assessed, and the results of anti-Toxoplasma gondii serological tests were collected from pregnant women, from 2015 to 2018. In tertiary prevention measures, babies of mothers with a recent suspicion of T. gondii infection were screened to verify forwarding to the reference service. As a result, 45.5% (192/424) reported that they had received guidance from health professionals; 35.4% (68/192) changed their risk habits. The variables of schooling and age, having received prior guidance from health professionals and feline possession, proved to be significant when associated with the notions of preventive measures. 90.2% (17,423/19,319) of pregnant women had undergone serological tests to detect anti-T. gondii antibodies, but there was an excess in requests for tests and medication and only 40.6% (26/64) of the children were referred to the reference hospital. The Program presents positive results about the performance of serological screening in prenatal care; however, the dissemination of knowledge as for the prevention of toxoplasmosis and the request for tests need to be improved.

Mapeamento de áreas vulneráveis a impactos ambientais causados por postos de combustíveis na cidade de Londrina – PR

A Resolução do CONAMA 237/2000 considera os postos de combustíveis como empreendimentos potencialmente poluidores, uma vez que podem gerar significativos impactos negativos sobre o meio ambiente e a sociedade. O trabalho teve como objetivo mapear os postos de combustíveis da cidade de Londrina-PR e avaliar sua conformidade com a legislação municipal, bem como identificar as áreas mais vulneráveis a impactos sobre os recursos hídricos. Técnicas de geoprocessamento foram aplicadas para a espacialização dos postos de combustíveis e dos elementos urbanos próximos, assim como no levantamento das condições ambientais da cidade de Londrina. Foram realizadas análises de distâncias mínimas dos postos de combustíveis com: elementos urbanos, áreas de preservação permanente (APP) e poços de abastecimento. Para avaliar a vulnerabilidade do aquífero Serra Geral (SASG) na região de Londrina foi aplicada a metodologia GOD. Os resultados obtidos demostraram que, dos 107 postos analisados, apenas 18 apresentaram-se regulares segundo as análises de conformidade. Foi constatado pelo mapa de vulnerabilidade que o risco de contaminação das águas subterrâneas na cidade de Londrina é desprezível. Assim, verificaram-se irregularidades principalmente no que se refere ao atendimento às distâncias mínimas estabelecidas pelas legislações, as quais deveriam ser observadas para proteção do meio ambiente e da segurança da população.

Ação Docente na Formação Inicial: As Questões que Emergem na Prática Pedagógica

This study presents the results of a survey that we conducted with students-teachers of the Undergraduate Program of Education of the State University of Londrina to investigate the challenges and prospects related to the training of elementary school teachers, focusing on the process by which a student becomes a teacher. For this purpose, the studies of Charlot, Lahire, Bakhtin and Voloshinov were used as references, taking into account that these authors in their specific theories situate human genesis in social practices, highlighting the role of the other and the semiotic mediation in this process. The data shared herein are the results of weekly meetings which occurred between April and November, 2007 and refer to one of the subjects of this research, who was in charge of third grade of an institution in the city of Londrina-PR at the time. This study, which had the objective of helping to increase the visibility of the conditions under which students in training have become elementary school teachers, highlights a rather problematic specific conformation in that concurrence, interconnecting a fragile professional situation, contradictory and/or inconsistent guidelines, enforcement of instructional materials, classroom situations experienced as personal difficulties, and the lack of theoretical and practical benefits which are necessary to professional practice.

Estresse ocupacional entre profissionais de enfermagem do bloco cirúrgico

Estudo descritivo e correlacional, de corte transversal cujos objetivos foram avaliar a presença de estresse ocupacional entre os profissionais de enfermagem do bloco cirúrgico e possíveis associações entre o estresse ocupacional e as características profissionais.

A maioria dos participantes era de auxiliares de enfermagem (62,6%), do sexo feminino (86,7%), casados (54,0%), com idade média de 40 anos e com exposição intermediária ao estresse ocupacional (56,1%). As dimensões Demanda, Controle e Apoio Social obtiveram média de 14,8 (DP=2,4), 16,5 (DP=2,3) e 18,7 (DP=2,8), respectivamente. Demanda obteve associação estatisticamente significante com a categoria profissional (p=0,01), enquanto Controle apresentou-se estatisticamente significante com o tipo de instituição, categoria profissional e carga horária semanal (p<0,05).

Avaliação do risco ambiental em sedimento dos lagos do Riacho Cambé, em Londrina, pela distribuição de metais

The proposal of this study was to obtain the profile of these metals distribution Al, Co, Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni, Co and Zn in sediments from lakes in the city of Londrina-PR and evaluate the environmental risk resulting from such distribution. The parameters of comparison were the values of geological occurrence of these metals in soil from this region, the concentrations of metals in soil samples in the surroundings of the sediments collection points, the guiding values from CETESB and resulting rate risk from RAC criterion application. The result shows that the numerical scale RAC alone is incomplete to this evaluation.
