One of the major challenges of the Brazilian Ministry of Health is to foster interest in breast cancer screening (BCS), especially among women at high risk. Strategies have been developed to promote ...the early identification of breast cancer mainly by Pink October campaigns. The massive number of queries conducted through Google creates traffic data that can be analyzed to show unrevealed interest cycles and their seasonalities.
Using Google Trends, we studied cycles of public interest in queries toward mammography and breast cancer along the last 5 years. We hypothesize that these data may be correlated with collective interest cycles leveraged by national BCS campaigns such as Pink October.
Google Trends was employed to normalize traffic data on a scale from 0 (<1% of the peak volume) to 100 (peak of traffic) presented as weekly relative search volume (RSV) concerning mammography and breast cancer as search terms. A time series covered the last 261 weeks (November 2011 to October 2016), and RSV of both terms were compared with their respective annual means. Polynomial trendlines (second order) were employed to estimate overall trends.
We found an upward trend for both terms over the 5 years, with almost parallel trendlines. Remarkable peaks were found along Pink October months- mammography and breast cancer searches were leveraged up reaching, respectively, 119.1% (2016) and 196.8% (2015) above annual means. Short downward RSVs along December-January months were also noteworthy along all the studied period. These trends traced an N-shaped pattern with higher peaks in Pink October months and sharp falls along subsequent December and January.
Considering these findings, it would be reasonable to bring Pink October to the beginning of each year, thereby extending the beneficial effect of the campaigns. It would be more appropriate to start screening campaigns at the beginning of the year, when new resolutions are taken and new projects are added to everyday routines. Our work raises attention to the study of traffic data to encourage health campaign analysts to undertake better analysis based on marketing practices.
No presente artigo, é nosso objetivoesboçar uma breve análise de duas obras deficção científica, o romance The Handmaid's Tale(sendo que o título da última edição brasileira é OConto da Aia), de ...1985, da escritora canadenseMargaret Atwood, e o conto "Bloodchild" de 1987,da autora afro-americana Octavia Butler, traçandoum paralelo entre as mesmas. Ambas as obrastratam da questão feminina, evidenciando quequestões como a maternidade e a reproduçãoestão intimamente ligadas ao fator que maiscaracteriza a situação que se propõem adescrever: a submissão, cuja realidade é tambémmagistralmente espelfiada nessas ficções.

This open access book offers an overview of the beautiful, powerful, and dynamic array of opportunities to promote health through the arts from theoretical, methodological, pedagogical, and critical ...perspectives. This is the first-known text to connect the disparate inter-disciplinary literatures into a coherent volume for health promotion practitioners, researchers, and teachers. It provides a one-stop depository for using the arts as tools for health promotion in many settings and as bridges across communities, cultures, and sectors. The diverse applications of the arts in health promotion transcend the multiple contexts within which health is created, i.e., individual, community, and societal levels, and has a number of potential health, aesthetic, and social outcomes. Topics covered within the chapters include: Exploring the Potential of the Arts to Promote Health and Social Justice Drawing as a Salutogenic Therapy Aid for Grieving Adolescents in Botswana Community Theater for Health Promotion in Japan From Arts to Action: Project SHINE as a Case Study of Engaging Youth in Efforts to Develop Sustainable Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Strategies in Rural Tanzania and India Movimiento Ventana: An Alternative Proposal to Mental Health in Nicaragua Using Art to Bridge Research and Policy: An Initiative of the United States National Academy of Medicine Arts and Health Promotion is an innovative and engaging resource for a broad audience including practitioners, researchers, university instructors, and artists. It is an important text for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, particularly in program planning, research methods (especially qualitative methodology), community health, and applied art classes. The book also is useful for professional development among current health promotion practitioners, community nurses, community psychologists, public health professionals, and social workers.
A linha de pesquisa em CienciArte, denominação que evoluiu numa trajetória de 30 anos de atividades unindo ciência e arte, vem sendo desenvolvida no Instituto Oswaldo Cruz/Fiocruz desde 2000. Ela ...testemunha a união de duas culturas, a fim de que ambas possam partilhar e contribuir com elementos essenciais ao ensino e à educação. Suas atividades assumem o pressuposto de que a associação da arte à educação científica possibilita ao ser humano desenvolver novas intuições e compreensões através da incorporação do processo artístico a outros processos investigativos, construindo um discurso sobre a relação entre arte, ciência, atividades humanas e tópicos relacionados a atividades multidisciplinares e multiculturais. Neste texto descrevemos a trajetória histórica da linha de pesquisa, a disciplina que dela derivou, incluindo relações entre conteúdos, referências e atividades diversas desenvolvidas. Essas abordagens atenderam aos mais diversos critérios de inclusão vinculados aos campos de atividade profissional de um ou mais componentes do grupo de estudos e práticas. Versaram sobre temas em ciência, saúde e arte evidenciando a aplicação do paradigma CienciArte e expressando a apropriação do conteúdo debatido ao longo dos anos. Uma figura síntese com a linha do tempo dessas ações mostra seus principais fatos. Entremeamos o texto com quatro "interlúdios" referentes a propostas que trabalhamos nos processos educacionais que conduzimos com CienciArte: (i) o manifesto CienciArte, (ii) as treze categorias cognitivas propostas pelo casal Root-Bernstein no livro Centelhas de gênios, (iii) a letra da música A ciência em si, de Gilberto Gil e Arnaldo Antunes, e (iv) a modelagem 5D com metaformação, de Tod Siler. Destacamos os referenciais teóricos que embasam a proposta, muito calcada na prática freireana de oficinas dialógicas. Temos convicção de que a linha de pesquisa atinge seus objetivos promovendo o diálogo entre a ciência e a arte, reforçando o conceito "ArtScience", ou, em português, "CienciArte".
