We aimed to assess the DoeSangue application from the perspective of hematology and hemotherapy experts. A methodological, applied and qualitative research was carried out from September 2015 to July 2017 in Fortaleza, Ceará. The study was based on Participatory Interaction Design associated with Symbolic Interactionism. After conducting the first two steps, application design and development in a laboratory and assessment by donor users, the application was validated by eight experts from the Fortaleza's public blood center.

The tool was positively assessed by participants, with an average Content Validation Index of 0.88. Evaluators pointed out, among other features, the tool's ability to promote interactivity, mobilization and social engagement, in addition to contributing to gathering and loyalty of blood donors.
ABSTRACT A better understanding of genetic diversity in cotton cultivars is needed to make the most of the genetic resources and guarantee continuing improvements in the breeding programs. Our ...objective was to evaluate the genetic diversity among cotton genotypes from the top breeding programs in Brazil and recommend hybrid combinations that would increase variability. The field experiments we conducted on three cotton genotypes from each of the following Brazilian breeding programs: EMBRAPA, MONSANTO DELTAPINE, FIBERMAX, IMA, TMG and UFU. Several phenotypic evaluations were carried out at V5, B1, full flower and full maturity. Moderate genetic divergence was observed among the genotypes from these breeding programs. Hybridization of the BRS 433 FL B2RF and FM 980 GLT genotypes would likely produce segregating populations with greater genetic variability, yield potential, lint yield and desirable fiber quality. Maturity, micronaire and fiber length were the strongest contributors to genetic divergence.
Resumo A doação de sangue é uma prática social que auxilia no tratamento de doenças e na manutenção da saúde coletiva. O aplicativo DoeSangue foi concebido e desenvolvido para apoiar a captação e a ...fidelização de doadores, fortalecendo a promoção da saúde e o engajamento social. Objetivou-se avaliar o aplicativo DoeSangue sob a perspectiva de especialistas das áreas de hematologia e hemoterapia. Realizou-se uma pesquisa metodológica, aplicada e qualitativa, de setembro de 2015 a julho de 2017, em Fortaleza, Ceará. O estudo fundamentou-se no Design de Interação Participativo associado ao Interacionismo Simbólico. Após as duas primeiras etapas - concepção e desenvolvimento do aplicativo em laboratório, e avaliação pelos usuários doadores - o aplicativo foi validado por oito especialistas do hemocentro público de Fortaleza. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se o ‘formulário de validação do aplicativo com especialistas’, com base na escala de Likert, e realizou-se um grupo focal. A ferramenta foi avaliada positivamente pelos participantes, com Índice de Validação de Conteúdo médio de 0,88. Os avaliadores apontaram, dentre outras funcionalidades, a capacidade da ferramenta em promover interatividade, mobilização e engajamento social, além de contribuir com a captação e a fidelização de doadores de sangue.

Introduction: Debating arts during graduation can be a creative way to develop new perceptions and perspectives for medical students. To promote activities that aim to create moments involving ...humanistic themes, simultaneously to technical medical knowledge, such as arts and physical activities in a playful setting, remains a challenge. A extracurricular Global Improvement Programme of Medical Students (GIPMS) of the University of Fortaleza was created on this context, and included meetings involving various artistic stimuli. Purpose: The objective of this paper is to evaluate if the contact with art during graduation in the context of GIPMS can generate perceptions, feelings and reflections to provide important debates. Methods: A prospective qualitative study was conducted including a total of 42 focal group sessions, which were recorded and fully transcribed. Each group was conducted by 2 mentors, and all 6 focal groups used standardized qualitative questionnaires each session, which were performed every 45 days. A thematic analysis of the transcripts was performed, confirmed with the QSR NVIVO software (version 11). Results: A total of 40 students (15 men and 25 women) participated in this one-year study. The categories found were: Artistic stimuli were able to make participants think (124 quotes), feel (78, 65 about positive feelings and 13 about negative ones) and remember (41). The following stood out: the influence of the time load of studies in the time dedicated to the arts and the reflections. (61); relationship between the arts and life and academic productivity (75); changes in attitudes provided by the proposed artistic stimuli (38 citations). Conclusions: The program was able to generate, in an innovative way, new perceptions of feelings, sensations and reflections, as well as to evoke memories that provided important debates, which, according to the students themselves, served as inspiration to change perspectives and attitudes and provided subjective benefits in academic life.
The continued development of cultivars is dependent on making the most of available genetic resources. Because of numerous species and varieties, genetic variety within the Gossypium genus is vast ...(Vidal Neto & Freire, 2013). ...it is important to integrate all possible variables to avoid segmentation in inferences about genetic divergence between genotypes and provide a better basis for evaluating strategies that improve variability and lead to better decisions in breeding programs (Carvalho et al, 2017). ...the present study evaluates the genetic diversity of cotton genotypes used in the top breeding programs in Brazil and recommends the best hybrid combinations for increasing variability. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Analysis of the phenotypic characters of the cotton genotypes Base populations can be studied to select parent plants that would provide promising crosses, genetic diversity and satisfactory agroeconomic performance (Cruz et al, 2011). ...the mean genotype values of the characters were grouped in order to evaluate the potential of each cultivar. Understanding associations among characters is essential in choosing breeding strategies. ...this paper analyzes correlations among characters and discusses mean indicators of fiber quality, where CVg/CVe and h2 values were the highest.
O planejamento familiar é caracterizado por um conjunto de medidas e informações que controlam a fecundidade, o que garante a restrição ou aumento de filhos através de direitos igualitários tanto à ...mulher, como ao homem, através de métodos contraceptivos. (1) Essa experiência consiste em um relato da vivência de uma equipe multiprofissional, com abordagem qualitativa com características crítico-reflexivas e descritivas, na implantação e condução de um grupo de planejamento sexual e reprodutivo, no Hospital do Seridó, em Caicó/Rio Grande do Norte. Este serviço faz parte de um conjunto de ações iniciadas no hospital no ano de 2021. São expostos os métodos, com seus mecanismos de ação, as formas e facilidades de uso, a eficácia e segurança, a aceitabilidade aos efeitos colaterais, até a sua reversibilidade. Merecendo destaque as orientações para os métodos que podem ser usados ao amamentar, com o incetivo destes, valorizando a importância do Aleitamento Materno Exclusivo, até os seis meses. do ponto de vista dos usuários, o grupo vem trazendo resolutividade e segurança aos usuários frente à suas escolhas, além de incentivar a autonomia dos usuários para que sua decisão seja consciente e bem orientada; para os profissionais que conduzem as atividades são diárias as experiências de criação de vínculos, troca de experiências e a atualização contínua de conhecimentos, fazendo com que os profissionais busquem manter-se atualizados, uma vez que cada usuário é único e apresenta para o grupo suas particularidades.
