The article analyzes the role of Permanent Committees of Teaching-Service Integration (CIES) in the implementation of Permanent Education in Health Policy (EPS). It is a multicenter study with a qualitative-quantitative approach which used a self-applied online questionnaire and a semi-structured interview for data collection. The key respondants were the responsible for EPS Policy of the 27 State Health Secretariats (SES) and 7 coordinators of CIESs of the five regions of Brazil. The findings showed the existence of a specific EPS sector in most SES; high level of schooling, experience and stable employment status of the managers. Regarding CIESs, it was verified: existence in most of the states; creative process diversity; plural composition; regularity of meetings; good relationship with training institutions; difficulties in the use and management of resources destined for EPS. The study indicated progress, showing the importance of these instances as spaces of negotiation, agreement and development of EPS. However, challenges still need to be overcome in order to consolidate projects in the SES, strengthening the PNEPS.

ResumoEste artigo discute os limites e as potencialidades da gestão do trabalho na Estratégia Saúde da Família, a partir do discurso dos gestores formais, ocupantes de cargos de autodireção na gestão municipal da saúde. Trata-se de um estudo do tipo descritivo, exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa. Foram entrevistados 72 gestores, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com base em um roteiro guia, em 36 municípios. A análise dos dados foi fundamentada no método de análise do discurso. Os resultados apontam limites à constituição da gestão do trabalho nos municípios, com destaque para a interferência política, baixa provisão de profissionais médicos, inoperância das redes de atenção à saúde e o controle financeiro e orçamentário no bojo da macropolítica. Dentre as potencialidades, são citados o vínculo trabalhador-usuário, a gestão compartilhada, o controle de metas e resultados e o Programa Mais Médicos. Nesse sentido, o maior desafio na ativação da potência para a ação do trabalhador consiste na inovação por meio de novos modos de produzir a gestão do trabalho, com base na cogestão com espaços dialógicos de tomada de decisão que tenham a potência de disparar novas formas de vida no gestor e no trabalhador, através da democratização da tomada de decisão.

Resumo Ao considerar a amplitude e a complexidade do papel que os agentes comunitários de saúde assumem na Estratégia Saúde da Família, constituiu-se objeto do estudo apresentado neste artigo conhecer o perfil e a realidade de trabalho desses profissionais, no sentido de contribuir para a consolidação do Sistema Único de Saúde. Tratou-se de estudo quantitativo, realizado em dez municípios com população superior a 50 mil habitantes no Espírito Santo, de julho de 2012 a agosto de 2013. Foram selecionadas unidades de saúde da família com equipes completas, totalizando 121 agentes comunitários de saúde participantes do estudo. Os dados foram coletados mediante questionário estruturado autoaplicável. Os resultados revelaram que as atividades realizadas com maior frequência pelos agentes eram: visita domiciliar, atualização de cadastro, reunião de equipe e acompanhamento dos grupos prioritários definidos pelo Ministério da Saúde. Embora grande parte dos agentes fizesse o mapa inteligente e o diagnóstico de saúde, somente 13,2% identificaram famílias de risco e 14,9% realizaram o levantamento de problemas de saúde de sua microárea. Assim, questionou-se a verdadeira finalidade do mapa inteligente e do diagnóstico de saúde, ou a forma de participação do agente na elaboração desses instrumentos, o que poderia estar restrito somente à formalização da prática.

BackgroundThe Brazilian health reform process, following the establishment of the Unified Health System (SUS), has had a strong emphasis on decentralization, with a special focus on financing, management and inter-managerial agreements. Brazil is a federal country and the Ministry of Health (MoH), through the Secretary of Labour Management and Health Education, is responsible for establishing national policy guidelines for health labour management, and also for implementing strategies for the decentralization of management of labour and education in the federal states. This paper assesses whether the process of decentralizing human resources for health (HRH) management and organization to the level of the state and municipal health departments has involved investments in technical, political and financial resources at the national level.MethodsThe research methods used comprise a survey of HRH managers of states and major municipalities (including capitals) and focus groups with these HRH managers - all by geographic region. The results were obtained by combining survey and focus group data, and also through triangulation with the results of previous research.ResultsThe results of this evaluation showed the evolution policy, previously restricted to the field of 'personnel administration', now expanded to a conceptual model for health labour management and education-- identifying progress, setbacks, critical issues and challenges for the consolidation of the decentralized model for HRH management. The results showed that 76.3% of the health departments have an HRH unit. It was observed that 63.2% have an HRH information system. However, in most health departments, the HRH unit uses only the payroll and administrative records as data sources. Concerning education in health, 67.6% of the HRH managers mentioned existing cooperation with educational and teaching institutions for training and/or specialization of health workers. Among them, specialization courses account for 61.4% and short courses for 56.1%.ConclusionsDue to decentralization, the HRH area has been restructured and policies beyond traditional administrative activities have been developed. However, twenty years on from the establishment of the SUS, there remains a low level of institutionalization in the HRH area, despite recent efforts of the MoH.

Through a systematic literature review method, in this work we searched classical electronic libraries in order to find the most recent papers related to fake news detection on social medias. Our target is mapping the state of art of fake news detection, defining fake news and finding the most useful machine learning technique for doing so. We concluded that the most used method for automatic fake news detection is not just one classical machine learning technique, but instead a amalgamation of classic techniques coordinated by a neural network. We also identified a need for a domain ontology that would unify the different terminology and definitions of the fake news domain. This lack of consensual information may mislead opinions and conclusions.
