Abstract The implementation of effective cleaning and disinfection procedures is crucial to ensure quality control and food safety in food services. This study aimed to evaluate the hygienic conditions in the gastronomy laboratories of a university in Colombia. The study conducted ATP bioluminescence detection and microbiological analysis on various surfaces and food handler's hands. The results indicated the presence of aerobic mesophilic bacteria and total coliforms on the surfaces, but no Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, or Salmonella spp. The cutting-board had the highest microbial counts, while the countertop and serving dish had the lowest. Total coliform counts exceeded the acceptable limits on most surfaces. Correlations between ATP levels and microbial counts were not significant. ATP measurements indicated organic contamination, but not necessarily high microbial loads. The findings emphasize the importance of proper cleaning, disinfection protocols, and personal hygiene practices to prevent cross-contamination and ensure food safety.

The consumer fishing operation can be engaged in fishing problems in consumer health, so the present work as structural conditions and manipulation of the municipal fair of Manaus. Observations were made at three Centro, Santo Antônio and Betânia district fairs. Note that the hygienic and sanitary conditions of the workers are precarious; in one of the fairs, it was possible to verify the protective equipment such as gloves, caps, the presence of animals near the window where the fish is exposed for sale, styrofoam boxes used for the storage in an inappropriate state, dirty and the company of parcels with fish on the floor without any secondary packaging for protection. Therefore, it is concluded that it is necessary to train users on the dangers that can affect the lack of adequate handling of the consumer's health, which may interfere directly with the local fishing sector.

The book "Instruments in the Hands of the Redeemer" by Paul Tripp is a work that addresses the importance of counseling based on the Christian worldview. Divided into three parts, the book explores the biblical perspective on the heart, understanding sin and its effects, and the development of gospel-aligned counseling. The author emphasizes the importance of using Scripture as a tool for people's transformation and discusses the importance of loving, knowing, speaking, and doing as part of the care and counseling process. Recommended for all believers, the book promotes the application of biblical truths to glorify the Lord and encourages individual reading and study, as well as collective reading and study within the church, to promote a culture of mutual care in the body of Christ.

In the global context, marked by overweight and obesity in childhood, the problem of the consumption of meals and snacks out of home by children is of great importance. In Brazil, there are few studies tracing the food consumption of children out of home, the choices of the places and what will be eaten, and the nutritional quality of these meals. The present work aimed at evaluating the factors that influence the choice of establishments and children's menu in restaurants. The research was developed based on the cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach, using a convenience sample of 100 people, comprising 50 adults and 50 children, in the year 2020. Children below 7 years old and above 10 years old were excluded. The data survey was performed using online collection, using the form from Google Forms. The answers to the forms were automatically grouped and tabulated into a spreadsheet, also inside the Google structure. The choice of the kids menu was mostly performed by the adults, being 4% superior to the children's decision power. Child's preference was the main factor in the choice of the kids menu, followed by food quality. Hygiene and cleaning expressed the greatest relevance in the choice of the food establishment by the adults. The understanding of the Brazilian reality regarding infant feeding is a subject still little studied in Brazil, and further investments on research regarding this topic are necessary.

The creation of the Extractive Reserves (RESEX) is the result of the organized social mobilization of the rubber tappers who fought for the guarantee of the territory, however the question of land was not the only need of this population, issues such as the flow of production for the generation of independence economy of extractivists and their families, access to food, cleaning and personal hygiene products, durable consumer goods, were and still been topics of debate and articulation in the context of the Middle Juruá region. In this article, only one of the existing experiences in the Middle Juruá will be presented. This experience, which started from collective action and social mobilization to guarantee rights and reduce social vulnerabilities is the project entitled Riverside Trade. This is a qualitative research, developed through fieldwork carried out during a commercialization trip of the Riverside Trade Project conducted by ASPROC. The Riverside Trade presents itself as an important strategy for ensuring economic sustainability and food security in the Middle Juruá region, representing an important social technology to break with traditional aviation systems and the coronelismo of rubber that marked the history of the Juruá River. Its implementation presents numerous challenges mainly related to logistics and access to communities, but these are resolved on a daily basis through articulations between associations and local institutions. The proposal as itself gives a new meaning to commercialization and labor relations in the region, making them more fraternal, fair and solidary with the region's populations. In addition to commercialization, riverside trade represents a successful experience in the Amazon in terms of participatory territorial management and also trough the autonomy in labor and production relations.

The end of 2019 was marked by the emergence and rise of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. In particular, COVID-19 has been regarded as a disease strongly related with the environment. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the association between environmental factors related to ecosystems and hygiene and the development of COVID-19. We conducted a review of the literature published in PubMed, Medline, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases. Thereafter, we consolidated the results shortlisted from the bibliographic survey, and after applying the exclusion criteria, we scrutinized seven articles for an integrative review. The results obtained showed that socioeconomic factors including living conditions in poor and crowded communities, water quality, and sewage collection and treatment are relevant in the disease transmission process. However, we noted a dearth of articles that specifically addressed the general environmental aspects related to the ecosystem. Thus, we concluded that highlighting the themes involving the relationship between human inhabitation and the environment is necessary while debating on the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other infectious diseases.

This article aims to map and articulate two practices around the body and health care: selfcare and hapticality. These two practices and perspectives are intertwined in the emblematic phrase attributed to feminist Emma Goldman "if I can't dance, it's not my revolution". From the perspective of Erin Manning's minor gestures, dance is presented as a meeting that enables and stimulates this knowledge that is rarely addressed in health education. Joy, poetry and knowledge of one's own body and the body of the other, as well as attention, breathing and support are axes for listening and acting in the world. A smaller dance, which understands the body as a process of invention, creation and space of experience. This writing exercise aims to bring care and struggle together, in a possibility of transformation, revolution and ethics in the health area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is a reflection of the study carried out by the authors, regarding the hygiene and health situation in some primary schools in Cabinda. The study aims to reflect how important it is for schools to have good living conditions, which allow human development in educational establishments to ensure stable health among students, teachers and other employees of those schools. The school is the center where everyone hopes for a change in society. The research had a mixed design (qualitative and quantitative), based on the case study in some schools and two instruments such as observation that made it possible to ascertain the state of the schools and the questionnaire that facilitated the data collection. It is important to emphasize that the proposed strategy has the authors' initiative and is supported by Vygotsky's ideas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Street markets have been around for a long time in Brazil and are of great importance in the direct supply of consumers, in the generation of income for the rural population and in the promotion of urban commerce. Objective: To describe the socioeconomic and demographic profile, and to evaluate the satisfaction of consumers at the street markets in Juiz de Fora-MG. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative study was carried out. The interviews were carried out through a semi-structured questionnaire with 385 consumers at 15 street markets. Results: Most consumers are female (65%, n = 252), with a mean age of 46 years (± 22 years), 50% (n = 192) are married, 43.4% (n = 167) have the high school and more than half do not work or are retired (51.9%, n = 199) and 41.4% (n = 159) have a family income of 1 to 3 minimum wages. Spending at the fair is associated with marital status and number of residents per house. 98.1% (n = 371) of consumers are satisfied with the street market where they attend. The reasons for satisfaction cited: 20% (n = 71) convenience and location; 19% (n = 66) price and variety; 12% (n = 60) interaction and quality and 1% (n = 4) service. The schooling of the frequenter and the satisfaction with personal hygiene and the tents are associated. Conclusion: The challenge is to gain recognition from a larger audience, with diversified and quality products.

Purpose: To verify possible complaints, voice and aerodigestive symptoms, singing voice handicap, and knowledge of vocal health and hygiene in Candomblé religious leaders in Brazil., Methods: The study comprised 112 individuals who filled out a questionnaire with their identification and characterization, the stratified classification of their professional activities, and their self-perception of voice. Three self-assessment protocols - VoiSS, QSHV, and MSHI - were also used., Results: The self-assessment of voice ranged from average to good. VoiSS mean total score was 23.04, which is above the cutoff. QSHV mean score was 23.54 points, which is near the cutoff. MSHI mean score (the perception of singing voice handicap) was 25.66 points. There was a substantially strong positive correlation between VoiSS and MSHI total scores (0.789; p<0.001). Women had higher limitation scores (p=0.012) and total scores (p=0.012) in VoiSS and higher handicap scores (p=0.038) in MSHI. Level I professionals - vocal elite (singers and actors) - had significantly higher QSHV scores than those in levels IV (p=0.010) and V (p=0.008). Most respondents had not visited an otorhinolaryngologist (89.29%) within the last year and had not been submitted to speech therapy (83.04%) for voice complaints., Conclusion: Candomblé leaders, particularly women, perceived voice symptoms and singing voice handicaps, with no relationship with their knowledge of vocal health and hygiene. Despite the complaints, most subjects reported not having visited health professionals responsible for voice care within the last year.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between psychosis and body care. The experience report method was adopted, based on a work performed in a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS). Delusional contents may hamper health promotion. There is an important rate of clinical comorbidities in people diagnosed with chronic mental disorders, due to factors such as smoking, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and medication side effects. Mental Health is a clinic of subjects, of singularities that need to exist and coexist in a collective, which requires creativity and sensitivity that does not fit into protocols. We need to build a possible care, consistent with the means that enable each subject to be in the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of this study is to understand the use and material and symbolic appropriation of medicinal plants by women in the South-Central region of Paraná and Campos Gerais for postpartum care. To this end, 213 mothers who gave birth during 2006 to 2021 revealed that most of them experienced specific postpartum care provided by a relative, regardless of education, correlated to certain herbs and recipes from the regional biocultural heritage. The knowledge about postpartum care remains active, territorialized in the mind and body as a social strategy of resistance to the domination of knowledge. The historical and geographical approach to this cultural practice highlights the phenomenon of the re-signification of traditional knowledge about the care of the body and of life by women of the region in contexts of multiple modernities.

The hygienic-sanitary conditions in the marketing of meat and fish in the municipal market of Pio XII - MA were evaluated through the application of a checklist adapted according to the RDC No. 216/2004 of ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency), with a total of 33 items distributed into 8 distinct categories, in 17 commercialization boxes, in the period from August to September 2021. A questionnaire was applied to verify the socioeconomic profile of the vendors in the market of Pio XII - MA, with approval in the Research Ethics Committee (CONEP), of the Maranhão State University - UEMA with the number CAAE 25016719.8.0000.5554. It was verified that 13% of the market stalls were in very bad hygienic-sanitary conditions and the rest were classified as bad (20 to 49%), and the percentage of compliance of none of them exceeded 27.0%, with no establishment classified as regular (50 to 69%), good (70 to 90%) or excellent (91 to 100%). Regarding the results of the socioeconomic profile of the merchants, 100% were male, with 17.6% in the 30 to 39 age bracket, 41.2% were 40-49 years old, and 41.2% were over 50 years old. As for education, nonliterate and elementary school levels predominated, with a percentage of 40.2% for each. The family income of the majority (58.8%) was concentrated in the range of 1 to 3 minimum wages. It can be concluded that the activity of meat and fish commercialization in the Municipal Market of Pio XII - MA has been performed in an inadequate way, and the lack of knowledge of traders about the Good Manufacturing Practices and the performance of proper training are factors that contribute significantly to the worsening of this situation, as well as the origin of the meat commercialized, which is from clandestine slaughter.

Since the dental treatment involves the use of various instruments and machines, there is ample presence of both distracting as well as destructive noise, and these are defined based on various parameters. With an increase in safety measures incorporated into dental practices, such as extra-oral suction devices and respirators, there has also been a corresponding rise in noise levels usually present in a clinic. Previous clinical experiments and trials have shown that the noise in a dental office can permanently bring about hearing damage. In addition to this, working with added safety measures during the pandemic, such as the use of personal protective equipment, respirators, and face shields can decrease operator efficiency and the ability to communicate normally. Dentistry has already been demonstrated to be one of the most hazardous occupations because of the high risk of infections. An Orthodontist must protect their eyes and mouth from potentially hazardous situations and the ears to prevent hearing damage.

The objective of this study was to analyse microbiological organisms in different locations and regions for physical activity in the city of João Pessoa, Brazil. Samples were collected on various objects used, such as: mattresses, drinking fountains, gloves, cell phones and others. The samples were collected in João Pessoa-PB, following the Standard Operating Procedure-SOP/ Microbiology of a specialized laboratory. The collection took place in the five macro-regions: North, South, East, West and Center. For each region samples were collected in one public place (square), a private one (gym) and one school (public or private), totaling fifteen collected sites and 450 samples. The following microorganisms were studied in all analyzed surfaces: Bacillus sp, Escherichia Coli, Klebsiella spp or Enterobacter spp and Coag. Neg. Staphylococcus. All regions had a high contamination level by some microorganism. The highest rates were found in the western, central and northern regions - 96, 94 and 93% respectively. The Coag. Neg.Staphylococcus presented the highest and lowest incidence rates in the South and East regions, with 43.33 and 6.67%, respectively, as well as Klebsiella spp or Enterobacter spp, which presented high levels. It is concluded that there is a microorganisms’ contamination in the most varied places and regions where physical activity practices are developed, with a predominance of Coag. Neg.Staphylococcus and Klebsiella spp or Enterobacter spp. These results lead to a warning about the hygiene importance in places for physical activity practice, especially in pandemic times (COVID-19), since almost all the evaluated surfaces were contaminated.
