This study aimed to describe the participation of the elderly population of the city of Pelotas/RS, in the 2020 elections. A descriptive, retrospective study, with data obtained regarding the 2020 election, from the Information Panel on the elderly, organized by the Associação Brasileira de apoio à Maturidade Solidária (ABAMS). Of the elderly population in 2020, in the city studied, 32,363 are required to vote, these data correspond to people between 60 and 69 years of age, a number that expresses 61.7% of the total elderly population. This population corresponds to 15.3% of the voting population of this municipality and of these 57% are female. As a thought, this study focuses on the appreciation of the elderly population in relation to their participation in political choices, since people over 60 years of age are an expressive group, which may have made a difference in this evaluated election and could increasingly being responsible for future choices, also thinking about the perspective of future aging. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir la participación de la población anciana del municipio de Pelotas/RS, en las elecciones de 2020. Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, con datos obtenidos con respecto a las elecciones de 2020, del Panel de Información sobre los adultos mayores, organizado por la ABAMS. De la población adulta mayor en el año 2020, en la ciudad estudiada, 32.363 están obligados a votar, estos datos corresponden a personas entre 60 y 69 años de edad, número que expresa el 61,7% del total de la población adulta mayor. Esta población corresponde al 15,3% de la población votante de este municipio y de estos el 57% son mujeres. Como reflexión, este estudio se centra en la apreciación de la población anciana en relación a su participación en las elecciones políticas, ya que las personas mayores de 60 años son un grupo expresivo, que puede haber marcado una diferencia en esta elección y podría ser cada vez más responsable de elecciones futuras, pensando también en la perspectiva del envejecimiento futuro. Este estudo objetivou descrever a participação da população idosa da cidade Pelotas/RS, nas eleições de 2020. Estudo de característica descritiva, retrospectivo, com dados obtidos a respeito do pleito eleitoral de 2020, a partir do Painel de informações sobre pessoas idosas, organizado pela Associação Brasileira de apoio à Maturidade Solidária (ABAMS). Da população idosa em 2020, na cidade estudada, 32.363 tem obrigatoriedade de votar, estes dados correspondem a pessoas de 60 a 69 anos de idade, número que expressa 61,7% da população idosa total. Esta população corresponde a 15,3% da população votante deste município e destes 57% são do sexo feminino. Como pensamento, este estudo debruça o olhar a respeito da valorização da população idosa em relação a sua participação nas escolhas políticas, pois, as pessoas a partir de 60 anos, são um grupo expressivo, que pode ter feito a diferença neste pleito avaliado e poderá cada vez mais ser responsável pelas escolhas futuras, em se pensando também na perspectiva do envelhecimento vindouro.

Esse artigo analisa o uso dos Equipamentos de Proteção Individuais (EPI) na agricultura no Brasil. A (in)adequação desses equipamentos é evidente. Além de não protegerem integralmente o trabalhador contra o agrotóxico, ainda agravam os riscos. Os EPI não eliminam a insalubridade conforme determina a legislação e ainda aumentam a probabilidade de contaminação dos trabalhadores rurais em algumas atividades. Discutem-se aspectos da validação legal dos EPI. Esse processo de validação legal para fabricação e venda de EPI consiste em testes em laboratórios, por agentes agressivos isolados, o que pode ser considerado uma lacuna no processo de concepção. A validação legal não exige a análise das atividades típicas e/ou experimentos em situações de utilização mais frequentes ou mais críticas para a saúde do trabalhador. En este artículo se analiza el uso de los Equipos de Protección Personal (EPP) en la agricultura Brasileña. La (in)adecuación de los equipos es evidente. Además de no proteger completamente al trabajador contra el pesticida, incluso agravar los riesgos, el EPP no elimina las condiciones insalubres como requiere la ley y además aumentan la probabilidad de contaminación de los trabajadores rurales en algunas actividades. Se discuten aspectos de la validación legal para la fabricación y venta de EPP. Este proceso de validación legal consiste en pruebas de laboratorio, por agentes agresivos aislados, que pueden ser considerados una falla en el proceso de diseño. La validación legal no requiere el análisis de las actividades y / o experimentos en situaciones de uso más frecuentes, típicos o más críticos para la salud de los trabajadores. Cet article analyse l'utilisation d'équipements de protection individuelle (EPI) dans l'agriculture du Brésil. L'insuffisance et l'(in)adaptation de l'équipement est évident. lls ne protègent pas entièrement le travailleur contre les pesticides et même aggravent les risques, les EPI ne supprime pas les conditions insalubres, comme l'exige la loi. Au contraire, ils augmentent la probabilité de contamination des travailleurs ruraux dans certaines activités. Ils ont discuté des aspects de la validation des EPI dans la législation brésilienne. Ce processus de validation pour la fabrication et la vente des EPI se compose de tests en laboratoire, par des agents agressifs isolés, qui peuvent être considérés comme une lacune dans le processus de conception. La validation ne demande pas l'analyse des activités et/ou des expériences dans des situations d'utilisation plus typiques et fréquentes ou les plus critiques pour la santé des travailleurs. This article analyzes the use of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in the Brazilian Agriculture. The (in)adequacy of equipment is evident. In addition to not fully protecting the worker against the pesticide, they even aggravate the risks. PPE do not eliminate the unhealthy conditions as required by law and also increase the likelihood of contamination of rural workers in some activities. We discuss aspects of the legal validation of PPE. This process of legal validation for the manufacture and sale of PPE consists of tests in laboratories, by isolated aggressive agents, which may be considered a gap in the design process. The legal validation does not require the analysis of typical activities and/or experiments in more frequent use situations or most critical situations to the health of workers.

Purpose The general aim of the present thesis was to investigate early bone response to titanium implants modified with nano size structures. Therefore, 1. a model to evaluate titanium implants modified with nano size structures was validated; 2. a suitable detection method of nano size structures was implemented. Materials and Methods A rabbit model was selected and healing time was 4 weeks in all experiments. A smooth cylindrical implant design was selected in order to control the macrothreads and micro-structures. Thus, early bone response could be related to added nano size structures alone. A stabilization plate was utilized to ensure adequate fixation of the attached implant. Smooth implants were obtained through polishing techniques (electrical and mechanical) and were used as control surfaces and, after relevant modifications, as experimental surfaces. Six surface modifications were investigated: 1. mechanically polished, 2. electropolished, 3. nano hydroxyapatite (HA), 4. nano titania, 5. blasted (TiO2) and 6. fluoride-modified. The implant surface topography was measured with an interferometer and an atomic force microscope. Surface roughness parameters were calculated and nano size structures dimension and distribution were characterized. Surface morphology was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Surface chemical composition was monitored with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The bone response was measured with removal torque tests and histological and histomorphometrical analyses. Results The model tested to evaluate smooth implants was found adequate. Atomic force measurements combined with image processor analyses software was suitable to characterize nano size structures at the implant surface. Nano HA modified implants enhanced bone formation at 4 weeks of healing compared to electropolished implants. However, placed in a gap healing model the nano HA modified implants showed similar bone formation compared to electropolished implants. If both test and control implants were modified with nano structures, so-called bioactive nano HA and bioinert nano titania, respectively; enhanced bone response of 24% was found to the “bioinert” nano titania implants, although not statistically significant. The beneficial effect of nano size structures on the experimental model was tested on screw shaped moderately rough implants. The oral implants that exhibited particular nano structures (fluoride and nano HA) showed a tendency of higher removal torque values compared to control (blasted) implants, that lacked such structures. Conclusions Based on in vivo animal experiments, enhanced bone formation was demonstrated to smooth and moderately rough titanium implants modified with nano size structures with different chemical composition.
