“…19 Most studies indicate that women of all ages in all regions of the world have a considerably higher risk of being visually impaired in relation to men, especially in the case of higher life expectancy, and in those societies with considerable reduction of purchasing power, due to the limited access to health services. 5 The low frequency of reduced visual acuity found in the present study corroborates the results of similar studies, such as those performed in Londrina (PR) with 17.1%, 3 in Pelotas (RS) with 15.1%, 1 in Sorocaba (SP) with 13.1%, 20 in Manaus (AM) with 7%, 21 in Passo Fundo (RS) with 10.9%, 8 in Pouso Alegre (MG) with 11.4%, 19 in Curitiba (PR) with 7.03%, 18 and in Belo Horizonte (MG) with 10.3%. 9 In any case, it is suggested that joint prevention programs of the Health and Education Departments be strengthened, in order to guarantee continuous decline of the visual deficit and consequent improvement of the students eye health.…”

Objective: To evaluate visual acuity deficiency and its association with academic performance in schoolchildren. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 1,050 students between 05 and 17 years of age from the public school system of Barcelos, Amazonas. The examination was performed at the school itself and with the aid of Snellen's Optometric Scale. Results:Of the 1,050 students submitted to the examination, 526 (50.1%) were female. The frequency for low acuity was 6.3% (66/1050).Among the students evaluated, there was no statistically significant difference at a 5% level for visual acuity and academic performance (p = 0.223). Conclusion: The study indicated a low frequency for visual deficit in the public school students of Barcelos -AM. In spite of this, it is advisable to carry out actions directed to eye health throughout the educational public network, aiming at prevention and early treatment of these students.Keywords: Visual Acuity; School Health; Health Education; Epidemiology; Eye Health. resumenObjetivo: Evaluar la deficiencia en la agudeza visual y su relación con el rendimiento escolar en alumnos. Métodos: Estudio transversal, realizado con 1.050 estudiantes entre 5 y 17 años, de la red pública de enseñanza de Barcelos, Amazonas. El examen fue realizado en la propia escuela, con la ayuda de la Escala Optométrica de Snellen. Resultados: De los 1.050 estudiantes sometidos al examen, 526 (50,1%) eran mujeres. La frecuencia de baja agudeza fue del 6,3% (66/1050). Entre los estudiantes evaluados, no hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa en el nivel 5% de la agudeza visual y el rendimiento escolar (p = 0,223). Conclusión: El estudio indicó baja frecuencia para estudiantes con discapacidad visual en Barcelos.Sin embargo, se recomiendan acciones dirigidas a la salud ocular en todas las escuelas públicas, visando la prevención y el tratamiento precoz de estos estudiantes.

“…In Mesopotamia irrigation systems were already used (4,000 BC). The first sewer galleries (3,200 BCE) date from India. The Sumerians (5,000-4,000 BC) constructed irrigation canals, galleries, settlements, cisterns, reservoirs, wells, tunnels and aqueducts ".…”

“…But it was a place with no connection, land route to the city, since there lived those affected by leprosy, disease, which since biblical times proves awe in the population and their sufferers, are removed from the city. It was only in 1972 that the first access road was built, by land, being paved during the management of Jorge Teixeira, in the city of Manaus [3]. Beginning in the early 1980s, people without the disease's prevalence began to fix housing on the site.…”

The present work is justified by the problems that exist in the municipality of Manaus in relation to basic sanitation, where it is one of the worst in Brazil, considering the neighborhoods of Colonia Antônio Aleixo and Puraquequara, which have rarely had popular participation in their planning , has unleashed over the years a continuous process of invasions that lasts until the present day, which ends up degrading the environment and calls on the government to intervene in order to provide these places with urban infrastructure. In this disregard for the population of the city of Manaus at a certain time ago, in relation to basic sanitation, it was interesting to evaluate the situation of some districts of Manaus by means of some data to verify through the technique of artificial intelligence called logic fuzzy, how good is the quality of basic sanitation in the days in two specific neighborhoods. The definition of the modeling was done and the results obtained with an artificial intelligence technique made it possible, through some data, to generate another very important data, which is the quality of basic sanitation in the neighborhoods analyzed in the course of all the work presented.

O problema que motivou a realização do presente trabalho foi a dificuldade em se acolher o sofrimento psíquico nas unidades de atenção básica. Neste trabalho, investigamos se esta dificuldade se deve à inadequação epistemológica do paradigma hegemônico. Realizamos uma revisão de literatura e analisamos a utilização do termo paradigma na produção científica brasileira recente. Após busca pelas palavras-chave paradigma e medicina e seleção prévia, foram escolhidos 17 textos. A análise foi feita em duas etapas: análise linguística e levantamento da temática emergente. Levantamos as cinquenta palavras mais frequentes e as agrupamos em comunidades de coocorrência, utilizando o algoritmo de Clauset. Os textos discutiam as ideias de Kuhn e trouxeram tanto experiências inovadoras já implantadas em unidades de saúde quanto exemplos de mudanças curriculares nos cursos de medicina. A promoção da saúde aparece como um novo e promissor paradigma para a saúde.
