This article aims to describe part of the training process at the Sobradinho Agricultural Family School (EFAS), carried out to deepen studies with rural youth and their respective communities on the issue of situation and the struggle for land, through pedagogical mediations, supported by the Pedagogy of Alternation (PA). These involved a total of 35 EFAS 3rd year students, their families and communities. These involved a total of 35 EFAS 3rd year students, their families and communities. This work is a descriptive study of qualitative nature and the methodological path was through the application of the following pedagogical mediations: Study Plan (PE); Sharing in Common (CC) and Reality Notebook (CR). Data collection took place through participant observation and documental research. Through the discussion of the theme, the students contextualized the theoreticalconceptual basis with the experiences of the communities, and thus critically observed the existing contradictions in their context, making them aware to the importance of recognizing and guaranteeing the territory belonging to traditional communities. Thus, this experience allowed us to observe the contributions of the PA and its pedagogical mediations in the training of rural youth as researchers, mobilizers and active agents that transform their reality.

This experience report describes the training activities on basic sanitation and agricultural reuse in the Agricultural Family Schools (EFA) of the Integrated Agricultural Family Schools Network of the Semiarid (REFAISA) in partnership with the Regional Institute for Appropriate Small Agriculture (IRPAA). The training on rural sanitation was carried out by the IRPAA technical team, in 13 EFA's of REFAISA's in the States of Bahia and Sergipe between 2019 and 2021 with young students, monitors, teachers and external partners with the participation of more than 300 people directly affected, with a workload of 12 hours. As a result, there was a gap between Basic Rural Sanitation and the reality of families, the denial of this right in all territories and the need for social organization to achieve social rights.

Objective: Epidemiological description of paediatric patients admitted in the resuscitation room, identify the main pathologies that lead to admittance, and analyse risk factors for intensive care admittance. Design: A retrospective study was conducted between January 2014 and December 2017. Data regarding epidemiology, provenance, means of transport, triage evaluation, clinical status, and attitudes employed before admission and in the resuscitation room, destination, and prognosis were collected. Collected data was then compared between admitted and non-admitted patients in any intensive care unit. Setting: Resuscitation Room of the Paediatric Emergency Department in a tertiary hospital in the north of Portugal. Patients: All paediatric patients (newborn to 17 years and 364 days of age). Three hundred and sixty-three patients were admitted. Measurements and results: Main causes for admission were active seizures (35%) and severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI) (18.8%). Fortyfour point one percent were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Multivariate analysis through binary logistic regression determined that admittance with a spinal board (p=0.012) and ventilatory support requirement (p=0.001) were independent positive risk factors for ICU admission, while being a frequent user of emergency services (p=0.016) and admission for active seizure (p=0.007) were negative risk factors. Trauma patients were the ones most likely to be admitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) (p<0.001). Among these, TBI was the most frequent cause for admission (p<0.031). Conclusions: Active seizure and trauma are the two situations most frequently addressed, the latter with the worst prognosis. It is paramount to hold frequent training and simulation sessions for health professionals to prepare the approach to these pathologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
