Identifying dietary patterns in different environments attended by children is relevant to guide public politics. The aim of this study was to analyse the factors associated with dietary patterns of children under 2 years of age in childcare centres and at homes. This transversal study was enrolled in municipal childcare centres of Guaratuba, Paraná, Brazil. Food consumption data from 256 children were obtained by the food record method. From the consumption data, four dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis using the principal component method in each environment. ‘Traditional’ patterns were observed in both environments; the ‘less healthy’ pattern was found only at homes. Other patterns identified in childcare centres include ‘snacks’, ‘nutritive’ and ‘pasta and meats’; at homes, it was possible to identify patterns such as ‘milk and cereals’ and ‘mixed’. Children over 12 months presented higher scores for all the patterns in both environments. Obese children had lower scores for all the patterns in childcare centres. There was an association between maternal age below 21 years and higher adherence to a ‘less healthy’ pattern, maternal level of education less than 8 years and lower adherence to the ‘mixed’ pattern and lower familiar income per capita and higher adherence to the ‘snacks’ and ‘traditional’ patterns in childcare centres. In conclusion, adherence to dietary patterns was associated with socio-economic, demographic variables and nutritional status and further studies are needed, especially those with a longitudinal design, enabling the monitoring of dietary patterns.
Neste trabalho focalizamos duas imagens da justiça, produzidas por professores universitários, que atuam em Cursos de Direito de duas universidades do sul do Brasil. A análise das imagens foi realizada com base no Método Documentário de Interpretação, de autoria de Karl Mannheim, com a atualização relevante promovida nos anos oitenta do século vinte, pelo sociólogo Ralf Bohnsack, de modo a conformá-lo como uma importante ferramenta de análise de imagens na pesquisa qualitativa. Importa registrar que este trabalho se insere em estudos desenvolvidos em uma pesquisa mais abrangente, financiada pelo CNPq, intitulada “Imagens da Justiça, Representações curriculares e Pedagogia Jurídica”. No presente trabalho, tendo em conta as contribuições de Ralf Bohnsack, são desenvolvidos três níveis de interpretação das imagens em apreço, além de uma etapa comparativa. Observa-se, nas duas imagens estudadas, uma visão típica da justiça institucional, apoiada no direito positivo. Em uma delas, há representações de pessoas organizadas em seus contextos, sob uma única legislação para todas. Na outra, identifica-se a ideia de uma justiça corrupta e soberana sobre a população; uma justiça mórbida, pesada e desatualizada, que prejudica a sociedade. Os resultados do trabalho ressaltam a eficácia da metodologia de análise de imagens utilizada e incitam o debate sobre o currículo no contexto dos cursos em foco, na perspectiva de repensar o ensino jurídico contemporâneo.
Objective: To assess the consumption of food groups among children aged 6 to 23 months in day care centers and at home and its associated factors. Methods: This is a population-based cross-sectional study conducted with children from nursery schools in Guaratuba, Paraná. Parents answered a socioeconomic and demographic questionnaire. Food consumption was assessed by directly weighing the meals offered at the day care center. At home, parents filled an estimated food record. The reported foods were classified into seven food groups. Minimum dietary diversity was calculated by the proportion of children who consumed foods from four or more groups. Data were analyzed by simple and multiple logistic regression, presented as odds ratios. Results: A total of 213 children participated in this study. The average number of food groups consumed was 4.2±1.0 at home and 4.2±1.2 in day care centers. At the day care center, all children consumed grains, roots, and tubers, while at home, this rate was 99.1%. The egg group was the least consumed both at day care (6.6%) and at home (2.8%). At home, more than 60% of children consumed sweets and sugar-sweetened beverages. Children aged 12 to 23 months were more likely to consume milk and dairy products, as well as flesh foods. Higher income was associated with the consumption of legumes, and older maternal age with the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Conclusions: At home, children had a predominantly dairy-based diet and a high intake of ultra-processed foods. In day care centers, the consumption of healthy foods was higher, indicating the need for families to participate in the formation of healthy eating habits.
Os professores e estudantes da educação básica e superior foram surpreendidos durante a pandemia de Covid-19 por um imenso desafio: manter o vínculo e as atividades de ensinar e aprender, mesmo lidando com todas as dificuldades impostas pela situação adversa. Nas escolas, o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar preconiza a realização de ações de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional (EAN) que colaborem para o crescimento, o desenvolvimento, o rendimento escolar, a aprendizagem e práticas alimentares saudáveis dos estudantes, mediante ação dos profissionais de educação das escolas, do responsável técnico e das demais nutricionistas do ente público. Compreender como o campo da EAN, no contexto da formação acadêmica do nutricionista, com vistas a atividades em escolas, vem sendo abordado nos cursos de Nutrição é o que nos move. O presente artigo apresenta o relato de experiência da disciplina extensionista de Educação em Nutrição II, voltada à atuação no ambiente escolar, em escolas da rede pública, como uma proposta diferenciada no currículo de um Curso de Nutrição da Região Sul do Brasil. A experiência demonstra a importância da relação entre a universidade e as escolas públicas, com inserção de disciplinas extensionistas e a educação voltada a uma necessidade social da comunidade.
