Objective: Evaluating the teaching-learning process of undergraduates and nursing professionals on the International Classifi cation for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) through a course on Moodle Platform. Method: Mixed research conducted with 51 nursing students and nurses. Many technological and educational resources were used. To collect data, two semi-structured questionnaires were applied and focus groups were carried out. Statistical and thematic analysis of the data was performed.Results: There was a correlation between the Wiki variable, the Animation Video (p = 0.002) and the Arch Method (p = 0.04), as well as a correlation between the Forum, the Virtual Book (P < 0.001) and time (p = 0.009). Three topics emerged: innovation in the application of technological resources, distance education in the professional education and permanent education and the teaching-learning process on the ICNP® in a collaborative way. Conclusion: Teaching-learning strategies and technological resources used were pointed out as innovative and helped students have a better performance.

Para a coleta de dados foram aplicados dois questionários semiestruturados e realizados grupos focais. Procedeu-se à análise estatística e temática dos dados. Resultados: Houve correlação entre a variável Wiki com o Vídeo de Animação (p = 0,002) e com o Método do Arco (p = 0,04) e do Fórum com o Livro Virtual (P < 0,001) e com o tempo (p = 0,009). Três temas emergiram: inovação na aplicação de recursos tecnológicos, educação à distância na formação profi ssional e educação permanente e o processo de ensino-aprendizagem sobre a CIPE ® de forma colaborativa. Conclusão: As estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem e os recursos tecnológicos utilizados foram apontados como inovadores e auxiliaram no melhor desempenho dos alunos. Descritores: Educação à Distância; Tecnologia Educacional; Educação em Enfermagem; Educação Continuada; Cuidados de Enfermagem.

Over the last decades, the production and consumption of pharmaceuticals and health care products grew manifold, allowing an increase in life expectancy and a better life quality for humans and animals, in general. However, the growth in pharmaceuticals production and consumption comes with an increase in waste production, which creates a number of challenges as well as opportunities for the waste management industries. The conventional current technologies used to treat effluents have shown to be inefficient to remove or just to reduce the concentrations of these types of pollutants to the legal limits. The present review provides a thorough state-of-the-art overview on the use of biological processes in the rehabilitation of ecosystems contaminated with the pharmaceutical compounds most commonly detected in the environment and eventually more studied by the scientific community. Among the different biological processes, special attention is given to biosorption and biodegradation.

The use of rare earth elements is a growing trend in diverse industrial activities, leading to the need for eco-friendly approaches to their efficient recovery and reuse. The aim of this work is the development of an environmentally friendly and competitive technology for the recovery of those elements from wastewater. Kinetic and equilibria batch assays were performed with zeolite, with and without bacterial biofilm, to entrap rare earth ions from aqueous solution. Continuous assays were also performed in column setups. Over 90% removal of lanthanum and cerium was achieved using zeolite as sorbent, with and without biofilm, decreasing to 70% and 80%, respectively, when suspended Bacillus cereus was used. Desorption from the zeolite reached over 60%, regardless of the tested conditions. When in continuous flow in columns, the removal yield was similar for all of the rare earth elements tested. Lanthanum and cerium were the elements most easily removed by all tested sorbents when tested in single- or multi-solute solutions, in batch and column assays. Rare earth removal from wastewater in open setups is possible, as well as their recovery by desorption processes, allowing a continuous mode of operation.

Objetivo: avaliar o uso da Plataforma Moodle sobre o aleitamento materno na educação permanente de profissionais enfermeiros da microrregião de Alfenas-MG. Método: quantitativo, descritivo e transversal, com encontros presenciais e a distância. Participaram 54 enfermeiros. Houve a aplicação de dois questionários: um com caracterização sociodemográfica, de informatização e uso da internet pelos participantes e o Inquérito COLLES (Constructivist On-Line Learning Environment Survey) da Plataforma Moodle. Resultados: predominância do sexo feminino, média de idade de 33 anos e tempo médio de atuação de 7 anos. Referentemente ao Inquérito COLLES, os principais resultados mostram que 64,81% responderam que frequentemente focalizam em assuntos interessantes; 66,67% frequentemente refletem sobre a própria aprendizagem e 48,15% disseram que algumas vezes os colegas apreciam suas contribuições. Considerações finais: A Plataforma Moodle contribui para a educação permanente dos enfermeiros uma vez que possibilita a ampliação do conhecimento e a troca de experiências.

Objective: To evaluate the performance of nursing undergraduates on administration of vaccines in the vastus lateralis muscle of the thigh in children as a proposal of intervention, using simulated scenario, skill training and virtual learning environment. Method: Quantitative, quasi-experimental, pre and post-test, performed with 39 nursing students from a federal public university in 2017. The cognitive knowledge test and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) checklist were prepared, validated and applied before and after the intervention, adopting a level of significance of 95%. Results: The mean of the pre-test scores was 12.5 (SD= 2.56), post-test 17.4 (SD= 2.38), p <0.0001. The mean pre-OSCE score was 101.0 (SD= 30.46), post-OSCE 181.92 (SD= 12.04), p <0.0001. Conclusion: The effectiveness of the intervention proposal to increase knowledge and improve the performance of nursing students in administering vaccines to the vastus lateralis muscle of the thigh in children was evidenced.

Although the effects of land use changes on hydrological functioning are widely addressed, issues such as which components of the hydrological system are affected, how and on what time scales are still poorly understood. In this context, we evaluated whether forest restoration improves soil water conditions in a Cerrado area, and whether the combined effects of forest structure and hydrological variables influence soil attributes. For this, we monitored three areas in different stages of natural succession over seven months, and evaluated vegetation structure indicators, hydrological indicators and soil indicators. Vegetation structure variables were analyzed with Principal Components Analysis, and to evaluate the direct and indirect effects among the variables we used structural equations modelling. Each successional stage differed in relation to forest structure, affecting the hydrological processes and causing the improvement of soil attributes with forest development. In the initial stage, throughfall was higher due to the more open vegetation, and the soil was more resistant to penetration. With the development of the vegetation, stemflow and interception also increased. As a result of the structural and hydrological changes, the model indicated that soil moisture was influenced directly by throughfall and stemflow, as well as by soil resistance to penetration and infiltration rates, and indirectly by forest structure, which influenced these variables, except infiltration rates. These results suggest that hydrological variables can be good indicators of forest restoration monitoring, providing a direct link to changes in soil conditions.
