Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and carry out epidemiology using sociodemographic data from patients with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) in three bordering Brazilian municipalities. Methods: An epidemiological survey of positive cases of COVID-19 through RT-PCR was carried out in 1874 patients, seen in the Unified Health System (SUS), aged between 0-99 years, who had symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, from the cities of Assis Chateaubriand, Tupãssi, and Formosa do Oeste. Results: It was possible to observe that of the 1874 patients seen in the public health network of the three municipalities, 354 were diagnosed as positive. The predominance of cases was in female patients (51.97%) and in patients who lived in urban areas (93.50%), and the predominant age group was 20-29 years (19.78%). Conclusion: The result of this study demonstrated the epidemiological profile of patients with respiratory and flu-like symptoms, positive for COVID-19, in three municipalities bordering Paraguay and Argentina. It was evident that the age group has its specificities regarding the susceptibility of the infection. Although the borders are closed, there was probably a spread of the virus in this region, due to the diversion, which showed an increase during the pandemic period.
A produção de soja é a principal cultura da agricultura brasileira, é realizada em grande escala, fazendo do Brasil o segundo maior produtor do mundo. O óleo de soja é largamente utilizado pelos brasileiros, entretanto o descarte incorreto pode trazer danos econômicos, além de danos ambientais como a contaminação de solo e água. O objetivo deste artigo é diagnosticar a forma de descarte do óleo de cozinha no município de Formosa do Oeste, Paraná, a fim de fornecer subsídios para a elaboração de um programa municipal de reciclagem de óleo. Para isso, um questionário com sete perguntas objetivas, foi aplicado às famílias de 62 alunos do 4ºano de uma escola de ensino fundamental. Posteriormente, os dados foram colocados em gráficos e analisados. Os resultados mostram que, embora a população pesquisada tenha apresentado índices baixos (35%) de reciclagem do produto e índices moderadamente altos (65%) de descarte incorreto, a maioria tem interesse tanto em reciclar (95%), e doar produto (90%). Embora os estudos precisem abordar uma parcela maior da população para serem mais conclusivos, pode-se inferir que a população descarta o óleo de maneira incorreta, mas possui interesse em realizar a disposição do resíduo no ambiente de forma correta e segura.
