Agressão por morcegos em humanos em uma área de conservação na Amazônia Oriental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-10-27) LIMA, Ana Paula de Lima e; FERNANDES, José Guilherme dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7023812449790431; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9946-4961; BEZERRA, Isis Abel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3274919406647242
Bat attacks on humans have been reported in the municipality of Curuçá, precisely around and within the Mãe Grande Extractive Reserve. This work aims to understand the space-time perception and the dynamics of aggressions by blood-sucking bats in humans in an extractive reserve area in the Amazon. As a methodological procedure, documentary and article references were collected. Oral interviews were also conducted with the oldest social actors and with individuals who had already been attacked from the communities visited. Individuals who confirmed that they had been assaulted by bats were georeferenced. The most affected are artisanal fishermen who live with their families or stay for seasons on the islands and beaches to fish for crab, fish or shrimp. In general, the interviewees do not relate the alteration of the landscape to the increase in aggressions, but they highlight the reduction of some animal species in this environment. However, it was possible to identify locations where aggressions have not occurred for at least 10 years associated with the introduction of electrical energy. In locations where there is no electricity, individuals with recent attacks have been identified. In the fishermen's perception, alcoholism is an important factor for the exposure of these individuals. It identifies the need for educational work for the population that is attacked, and the recognition of public policies for those individuals who become more vulnerable to bats.

Análise espaço-temporal da Leishmaniose tegumentar americana em um circuito espacial de produção na Amazônia Oriental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-08-31) NUNES, Mayara Mariana Costa; BEZERRA, Isis Abel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3274919406647242
The Northeast and Southeast regions of Pará concentrate a high incidence of cases of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL). It is a disease characterized as one of the main neglected tropical diseases and constitutes a challenge for public health, requiring a great operational, technical and political effort, given the environmental nature involved in the epidemiology of the disease. In this scenario, understanding the secular behavior of the disease, considering regional peculiarities, can be of great value for planning future actions. This study aimed to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution of ATL in 12 municipalities that are part of a disease production circuit in the Southeast and Northeast mesoregions of the state of Pará. For this purpose, a descriptive study of the ecological type, of a quantitative nature, was carried out through a retrospective investigation of clinical, spatial and epidemiological data from ACL, based on data collected from the Notifiable Diseases Information System in 2006. to 2020. In total, 5,097 cases of the disease were reported during the study period. The incidence fluctuated over the period analyzed, ranging from 0.64/10,000 inhabitants in 2006 to 11.5/10,000 inhabitants in 2007, showing a stationary trend. Sociodemographic data revealed that the disease primarily affects men (83.6%) in their most productive phase (75.7%) and that the disease is related to fieldwork activities (62.7%). Most cases were autochthonous, but cases were reported from two countries in Latin America and two in Africa. The highest incidences were observed in the southeast of Pará and in the municipalities of the northeast of Pará that border Paragominas. The distribution of cases may be related to mining activities that led to deforestation and population migrations from other municipalities and states, especially the state of Maranhão, in search of jobs, generating a population jump. The importance of understanding the ATL transmission process at the local level is a fundamental issue to support surveillance and environmental control actions, and to contribute to the knowledge of the dynamics and circulation of the parasite between the foci of the same high transmission region.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-14) FREITAS, Rosilene Ilma Ribeiro de; OLIVEIRA, Euzébio de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1807260041420782; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8059-5902
The present study aimed to characterize the infant population of the Combu Island, from Zero (0) to 12 years of age, regarding the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia, identifying the prevalence and possible interference of children 's eating habits in this clinical condition. The study was developed in three stages and was characterized as a qualitative and quantitative descriptive epidemiological study carried out in the Family Health Strategy (ESF) in Combu Island with the communities of the Combu and Piriquitaquara igarapé communities from October 2018 to February 2019 and included 153 children. he investigative criteria were evaluated by three anthropometric measures: weight, age and height, using anthropometric reference of the WHO / MS and diagnosis of anemia that was performed in two stages: 1) collection of digital pulp hemoglobin, 2) by determination of hemoglobin concentration and serum iron and serum ferritin concentration. Anemic children were those that presented hemoglobin concentration according to the consensus of the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics and the Ministry of Health, RN * up to 15 days (17.0 μg / L), 16 days to 11 months (9.5 to 14.1 μg / L); 1 to 2 years (8.9 to 13.5μg / L); 3 to 9 years (10 to 14.8μg / L); 10 to 12 years (11.1 to 15.7 μg / L). Information on anemia in the mother's pregnancy, supplementation of oral iron, use of home remedy for anemia, use of iron-containing medications and feeding practices were also studied. The sample comprised the age group from 19 days to 12 years of age, and 4% of the infants were less than 12 months old. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in this study was 10%, and the severity of anemia was between light (Hb = 9.5g / dl) and moderate (Hb = 7.2g / dl), and no cases of anemia (Hb <7 g / dl) or very severe (Hb <4 g / dl). It is noteworthy that 44% of the children evaluated received supplementation with iron salts at the time of the research. Regarding the food consumed at breakfast, it was observed that all age groups, with the predominance of the group of 5 to 6 years, consume coffee / bread / milk, that is, with low bioavailability in iron, for lunch and dinner, it was found that the food most consumed by 98% of the children is the açaí drink as the main food at lunch and dinner and also by some children in the form of porridge for breakfast and dinner. There is great controversy in the literature regarding the bioavailability of iron with a difference of 8.1 mg / 100g. Finally, children consume iron (heme iron) at lunch (93%) and at dinner (74%), with iron (non-heme iron), lunch (95%) and dinner (92%) both for the formation of the individual, since iron is part of oxygen transport, energy production, metabolism of external substances, immune synthesis, blood formation. Vegetable iron needs to be monitored for vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to be transported into the cell, but both are fundamental for organic balance. It was concluded that the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in the riverine children in the study was relatively lower in the research perspective, probably due to the fact that the children had access to the Ministry of Health protocol with iron supplementation and organic adaptation to food habits.

Antropização urbana frente aos elementos de cura de mulheres benzedeiras de Castanhal-Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-04-06) SILVA, Gleibson do Nascimento; ROCHA, Carlos José Trindade da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7815926450187234; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5172-9182
This research assumed the purpose of investigating how women healers are affected in their practices with elements of healing in the city of Castanhal (PA). In this sense, it addresses the geographical location, the profile of women healers in the municipality of Castanhal and the know-how in the midst of urban anthropization, the elements of material and immaterial healing of the benzection and their adaptations and difficulties in healing practices. Therefore, the investigation presented the qualitative approach with descriptive-exploratory procedures and developed under an anthropic look with the methodological bias of ethnomethodology. The techniques used were: participant observation, informal conversations, audiovisual records, field notebook and interviews with five women healers. The analysis of the data identified that the women healers are located in two different zones, four of them are located in the Area of the Compact City of Priority Occupation (ACPO) and corresponds to the respective neighborhoods: Novo Olinda (Dona Dedê), Caiçara (Dona Rosilda), Milagre (Dona Gertrudes), São José (Dona Maria) and a live in Predominantly Residential Zone (PRZ) corresponding to the Japiim Set (Dona Sabá). The profile of the healers comprises the age group between 62 and 94 years old, they are mostly widows and Catholics, born in Pará. with an average performance of 62 years in the work of benzection and who inherited the gift of benzection from mothers, fathers and / or grandparents. The process of urban anthropization is marked by industrialization, businesses and services, producing different ways of acquiring its elements of healing in the craft of benzetion, in addition to revealing anguish and yearning for them, caused by the scarcity of such elements, with a close adaptation relationship, which leads the healers to carry out their practices with the elements cultivated in their own backyards in the face of continuous urban growth. It was found that they are organized in micro-territories that structure an urban network of reciprocity and solidarity, which promotes exchanges of values and interpersonal dialogue. The healers women of Castanhal treat their gift as an intrinsic and legitimate element and as a gift from the divine. So their practices present genuinely Amazonian craftsmanship anthropization that will survive in the face of the interrelationship of the urban and continuous growth of the city. The presence of benzection is configured as an act of resistance from a rural past that tenses and eases urban geographical imagery. Through their narratives, it is noticed that the action of urban anthropization on their healing trades ends up overcoming the difficulties with adapting to new elements in their practices. The appreciation and recognition of the work of women healers in Castanhal is a necessary action to value and maintain the blessing and the blessing in the municipality, in addition to being a powerful instrument to face the dehumanization crisis.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-04-06) PAULA, Carla da Silva; SILVA, Luiz Rocha da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0951402055398517; BARBOZA, Roberta Sá Leitão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9331256487699477; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2367-553X
Aquaponics has gained prominence as an important sustainable agrifood technology, this system incorporates both the production of plants and fish in a symbiotic relationship between these two components and the microorganisms present in the environment where the residual nutrients from fish farming are modified by bacteria into substances that can be absorbed by plants favoring their development. Thus, the use of aquaponics during classes incorporates knowledge of a variety of subjects from biology, physics, mathematics, agriculture, sanitation, engineering, technology and nutrition. This work aims to understand how the use of a sustainable aquaponics system can contribute as a teaching tool in the teaching practices of teachers at IFPA - Campus Santarém. To achieve the objectives proposed in this research, we used as methodology a semi-structured questionnaire with open and closed questions, analysis of the subjects' menus, in addition to a bibliographic review on the subject. The target audience of this research were nine professors from the IFPA-Campus Santarém who had some of their theoretical or practical activities using the aquaponics system as a teaching tool. The analysis of the data allowed us to realize that the use of aquaponics provides teachers with a more enriching teaching dynamic, capable of uniting practice and theory in an interdisciplinary way, even if it occurs in a less intense way, teachers pointed out the importance of using sustainable technologies in vocational training, highlighting the use of aquaponics as a positive ally in enriching the training of students in integrated education.

Caracterização do perfil epidemiológico da doença de Chagas aguda no estado do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-12-20) RAMOS, Eduardo Rabelo; CAVALCANTE, Gustavo Góes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4614184899519791; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0548-4801
Chagas disease was discovered in 1909 by Carlos Chagas when he observed blood samples from a symptomatic child, who had come into contact with the “barbeiro” vector, and in these samples there was the presence of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. This disease can be transmitted in several ways, however the most common are vectorial and orally. In this scenario, it was reported in Latin America that approximately 6 million people contracted the disease, where 14,000 people die each year from Chagas disease; the state of Pará plays a central role in this number of cases, as between 2010 and 2018 76.8% of the cases reported in Brazil occurred in this region. This work is of a quantitative-qualitative nature, presenting data related to acute Chagas disease (ACD) in the state of Pará between the years 2008 to 2018. Data regarding the occurrence of ACD from the SINAN platform and the treatment were used. of this data was performed by the software Excel 2019 and Q-Gis v.3.16.6, for the elaboration of a historical-temporal series and a heat map in order to present the situation of the state of Pará, in addition to verifying the relationship between the disease and the variable Human Development Index (HDI). When analyzing the results, it was noticeable that the occurrence of this disease in the state is different from the national average (2048 reported cases), since the number of cases in Pará was one hundred times greater than in the rest of Brazil, with an increasing trend, and if It occurs mainly through oral transmission (77.69% of cases), which can be explained by the cultural consumption of fresh açaí pulp. Another important result was the inversely proportional relationship between the incidence of ACD and the HDI of the municipalities.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-30) CAVALCANTE, Alessandro dos Santos; JIMENEZ, Érica Kitazono Antunes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8793273902733669; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2985-4515; BARBOZA, Roberta Sá Leitão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9331256487699477; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2367-553X
The research conducted in the Araí-Peroba Marine Extractive Reserve in Pará aimed to socioeconomically characterize fishing families, assess their financial resilience, and investigate perceptions of fishery management. Data was collected between March and July 2022 in 11 communities, totaling 293 interviews. Data collection was carried out through the Fish Forever Program, implemented by Rare Brazil, using an electronic form that covered topics such as demographics, livelihoods, fishing, resilience, and social capital. The results indicate that artisanal fishing is the primary source of income, accounting for 74.7% of the total family income, but 42.7% of respondents reported a significant decrease in catch over the past two years. The research revealed that the exclusive dependence on fishing exposes communities to socioeconomic risks, especially in the face of environmental and economic variations. The diversification of income sources is identified as an essential strategy to increase economic resilience. Additionally, the research highlighted the division of labor by gender, with men predominating in catching and women in fish processing. Valuing women's roles and promoting gender equality are fundamental to improving the living conditions of communities. The study also highlighted the importance of social capital, showing that mutual trust and cooperation are crucial for sustainable management practices. It is concluded that an integrated and multidimensional approach that values local knowledge, promotes financial inclusion, and strengthens social capital is essential for the sustainable management of fishery resources in the Araí-Peroba Marine Extractive Reserve.

Caracterização socioepidemiológica em comunidades quilombolas do nordeste do Pará-Amazônia, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-12-19) RAMOS, Noêmia Maria José Maia; NASSAR, Sérgio Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3066738195459439; OLIVEIRA, Euzébio de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1807260041420782; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8059-5902
The trajectory of the black population in the Brazilian historical context gave rise to Quilombola Communities, which consolidated themselves in spaces of resistance against slavery based on their social, economic and cultural relations. This context has generated significant consequences for blacks, such as the great socioeconomic and environmental inequalities, which contribute to the mortality process for diseases linked to the precarious living conditions to which these populations are subjected. The objective of this research was to characterize the main socio-environmental and epidemiological problems of anthropic origin existing in the quilombola communities of Taperinha and Sauá-Mirim, in the Municipality of São Domingos do Capim - PA, which contribute to the illness process. The research was carried out apart from a quantitative and descriptive study, through bibliographical surveys, field research, with the use of a questionnaire applied to the communities under study, with closed and open questions, (related to socioeconomic, epidemiological, environmental issues, etc. .) and Chek-list. After collection, the data were stored and tabulated for the elaboration of figures and graphs that served as a means of better visualization, presentation and discussion of the results. These showed that these Communities have a high poverty rate, related to socioeconomic, cultural and environmental issues, which are responsible for the conditions of social inequality. As well as for the interference in the quilombola's way of life, recurrence of infectious diseases and incidences of chronic degenerative diseases, which have shown to have important epidemiological repercussions when referring to quilombola communities. Finally, it is worth noting that these results will be made available for future academic publications, in order to serve as subsidies for new researches matched with the Study in question, as well as other focus themes referring to quilombolas, so that the results found may contribute to the development projects and greater public attention in relation to quilombola communities.

The traditional knowledge about the use of medicinal plants in a quilombola community is the subject of this research, whose main objective is to describe the ethnobotanical knowledge of residents of the Itaboca quilombola community, Inhangapi municipality, northeastern Pará state, in the context of relations socio-cultural The study was developed from the quantitative and qualitative descriptive methodological approaches, applying semi-structured questionnaires, open interviews and direct observation. Twenty-four practitioners of folk medicine were interviewed and selected by non-random sampling using the snowball method, indicated by three people in the community called seeds A, B and C. Four representatives of the community were interviewed through open interviews. The results reveal a set of knowledge and practices using medicinal plants cultivated by families. However, due to their kinship relationship, it is the matriarchs and elders of the community who concentrate greater credibility for the practice of folk medicine, because they have greater knowledge and empirical experience with medicinal plants. This knowledge interferes with the social organization of the community, crossing healing practices and modifying the landscape of the community environment through anthropic processes of substitution of the floral for medicinal species grown in the backyards. Within the ethnobotanical knowledge of the inhabitants of Itaboca, 83 species were recorded, of which 41 were identified. The most cited plants were boldo (Plectranthus ornatus), peppermint (Menta pulegium L.), lemon balm (Lippia alba (Mill) .N.E.Br). Tea is the most common form of preparation. Treatment of digestive tract complications is the most appropriate. In this study, a religious syncretism of curative character was observed. The conclusion of the work points to the risk of ethnobotanical cultural losses resulting from the little interest of younger generations to maintain this knowledge, which requires policies to encourage the preservation of cultural knowledge of traditional populations and effective laws that guarantee recognition and appreciation of cultural heritage. of these communities. It is considered that the knowledge coming from this universe can provide relevant contributions to the conservation of traditional community cultural and biological traditions, as well as provide theoretical / practical support to cultural debates and laboratory scientific research in the academic sphere.

Desastre socioambiental em Barcarena: a percepção dos moradores de Vila do Conde sobre o naufrágio Haidar
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-14) MACÊDO, Jucimeire Rocha; CUNHA, Janice Muriel Fernandes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4027012189701116; OLIVEIRA, Euzébio de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1807260041420782; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8059-5902
This research has as its thematic delimitation the study about socioenvironmental disasters in the Amazon region, and its main research proposal is to understand the socioenvironmental effects generated by the sinking of the Haidar vessel to the residents of Vila do Conde - coastal community of the Brazilian Amazon. The socio-environmental disaster occurred on October 6, 2015, in which a Lebanese-flagged cargo ship loaded with approximately 5,000 live oxen sank in the Port of Vila do Conde, causing the animals to die through intense suffering, spilling 700 tons of fuel oil in the Pará River, 90 tons of hay bale and 50 tons of rice bales destined to feed the animals during the trip. The general objective that guided the study sought to understand the socio-environmental and health effects of the residents of Vila do Conde, generated by the Haidar wreck. The specific objectives were based on: 1) To characterize the way of life of the residents of Vila do Conde, in a brief historical outline; 2) Analyze the social and environmental effects of the disaster; 3) Investigate the health effects of residents from the Haidar wreck. The path taken to understand the phenomenon has theoretical references based on authors such as: Artaxo (2014), about planetary transformations; Victor Marchezini (2018), who works on the theme of social and environmental disasters, which evoke reflections on the legitimacy of environmental issues and social inequality; Rita Barata (2009) and Ribeiro (2004), who exemplify the understanding of environmental health and also the result of social and environmental inequalities in the field of human health and Nascimento (2010), which elucidates the occurring and recurrent social and environmental disasters in the municipality. from Barcarena. Understanding the complexity of the object of study, the approach used was the quantitative and qualitative research. Regarding the procedures, the field research was chosen. The techniques applied for data collection were semi-structured interviews, application of questionnaires elaborated with mixed questions and records in the field diary. The data collected were organized, categorized and analyzed through content analysis, in a temporal cut, before and after the disaster. The final considerations showed that the socio-environmental disaster led to a series of imbalances regarding health, leisure, the economy and socio-cultural reorganization. Regarding health, 603 medical visits were quantified, and the most recurrent symptoms were: feeling sick, headache, malaise and vomiting. Leisure practices were compromised as the beach was banned. Economic activities concentrated in leisure, tourism and fishing were severely hampered by the beach ban. The departure of residents from their homes, located on the beach of Vila do Conde, thus marks the socio-cultural reorganization after the disaster.

This study aimed to support socio-environmental management and conservation of socio biodiversity in the lower tocantins, municipality of mocajuba-pa. The socio-environmental diagnosis was carried out using a SWOT matrix recording the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with land use and tourism activities with aquatic mammals in the region. Some of the weaknesses and threats recorded include: i) the susceptibility of accidents involving dolphins and boats; ii) deforestation of riparian vegetation in the tocantins river; and; iii) the absence of a basic sanitation policy in the municipality of mocajuba-pa. We present recommendations for land use planning, reforestation with native trees between the city's neighborhoods, as well as planning of non-invasive dolphin-watching tourism activities. We recommend the creation of a conservation unit as a public policy for the conservation of local socio-biodiversity and its ecosystem services. We propose an evaluation of the application of community-based tourism for the benefit of the local population, articulated with the conservation of aquatic fauna and socio-environmental sustainability. This study contributes to strategies for achieving goals for SDG 14 and SDG 6 (UN, AGENDA-2030).

The forms of human-nature interaction reflect beneficial or harmful effects on the complexity of the systems of natural and urban environments, expressing local and global effects. The environmental problem is the result of the crisis of civilization and, in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to first recognize this vision, referring to the construction of a new development paradigm that, in turn, intervenes positively in social subjects and in the dynamics of the economy. Understanding, in this way, that the complex environmental issues must be articulated to all sectors, given that it is not possible to deal with nature in isolation, with the performance of interdisciplinarity, it may be possible to generate sufficient knowledge to build a rationality productive and sustainable. In this sense, the present research had as its central objective "Analyze the socioenvironmental dynamics in the Apeú River, in Castanhal - Pará". The research was developed on the stretch of the Apeú River, in the Amazon region, which is located in the Apeú village, located in the municipality of Castanhal, Pará - Brazil. It has a quantitative and qualitative methodological approach, with two approaches: social aspects and associated environmental aspects and referring to the dynamics that occurred in the river. For the collection of empirical data on social aspects, semistructured interviews were used and, on environmental aspects, water quality analysis was used. Thus, as a result, it was possible to perceive that the condition in which the analyzed region is found, through analysis of the presence of bacteria that indicate quality, physical-chemical conditions, statements by residents and photographic records, practical inadequate, which result in contamination indicators and, as the river is a dynamic environment, this results in results that indicate that the situation of this river is of socio-environmental concern. Even so, it has the potential to attract residents and tourists to practices and as a leisure space, for social interactions and economic growth in the Amazon region, demonstrating the responsibility and the need for the Government to intervene with Public Policies aimed at maintaining the quality of this river and playful sociability practices for the quality of life of the local population.

Fitoterapia tradicional por meio do uso da planta “insulina” (Cissus Verticillata), no tratamento do diabetes mellitus, em uma comunidade costeira do nordeste do Pará (Amazônia, Brasil)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-07-30) MORAES, Jones Souza; SILVA, Iracely Rodrigues da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5393264898435715; OLIVEIRA, Euzébio de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1807260041420782; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8059-5902
The Caeté river basin, situated in northern Brazil, that belongs to the Brazilian Amazonia region, Northeast of the Pará State, presents a large number of plant species with varied medicinal properties, widely used by residents of the region's traditional populations, highlighted in this case, for the traditional riverside/coastal populations that live there. Nevertheless, a lot of these plants have not yet been identified or had their medical uses registered in traditional ways. This study aimed to analyze the therapeutic/medicinal uses of the plant's ethno species Cissus verticillata, popularly known as “Insulin”, in treatment of the Mellitus Diabetes, on the riverside/coastal community of Ponta de Urumajó NE of Pará. The research presents a qualitative methodological approach, realized through the field research, using as the instruments of collection of data, the application of free listing, interviews with key-informers, application of forms, collection of vegetable samples, observation, recording of audio/video and pictures. Results point out that the community of Ponta do Urumajó demonstrates a great knowledge about medicinal plants, using it in the most diverse ways, in addition, of course, to know, with great propriety, the practices used for the use of medicinal plants, that are used for health care, which in this case is the Cissus verticillata, that is used for the treatment of Mellitus Diabetes. The community has been using “Insulin” widely, however, not knowing if this plant has any toxic effect and/or danger of adverse reactions. To that end, the conclusion of this work tends to contribute to the recognition and appreciation of the knowledge and local practices of traditional riverside/coastal populations in the Brazilian Amazonia, in relation to the use of medicinal plants, as well as seeking a greater integration between scientific and traditional knowledge to the consolidation of species conservation practices, such as its safe medicinal use, giving quality of life to diabetic patients.

This research seeks to discuss about the idea of nature produced by the playful people from the “Pretinhos do Mangue” block, in Curuçá County-Region of the Salgado Paraense. To carry out this discussion, I start with the theoretical guidelines of Environmental History (ARNOLD, 2000; PÁDUA, 2010; WORSTER, 2015) and Anthropology (CSORDAS, 2008; INGOLD, 2015). And, in this perspective, ethnography was used as a way to experience the ways of dwell in the environment, which are present in the block parade, at Carnival (FABIAN, 2013; SALDI; WAGNER, 2013; PEIRANO, 2014; INGOLD, 2015). During this period, the interlocutors aim to present the main non-humans who inhabit the city environment, and, as well, to enunciate the day by day of the artisanal fisherman. And these perceptual experiences of the “salgado” from Pará are materialized through their allegories: the “Caranguejo”, the “Guará”, the “Ostra” and the “Barraca do Avoado”. However, it is the use of “mud” (“tijuco” and “tabatinga”) that has attracted the most attention from the “playful”, because for them the mud-in-body manifests the “ecological” experience and the idea of “nature preservation". In this context, the media began to publicize this experience with the mangrove swamp, which started to promote more and more tourists to participate in the block. With that, it is noticed that the playful-curuçaenses seek to take the life of the "salgado" paraense to their parade, in order to "show" this experience to "all" who visit the Curuçá Carnival. Thus, the mud of the mangrove swamp and the allegories are not simply accessories used by the playful-curuçaenses, since they present their ideas of nature, at the “Pretinhos do Mangue” parade.

O ofício de benzer como produção de conhecimento: etnografando práticas de benzeção do município de Tracuateua – PA – Amazônia – Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-08-31) CASTRO, Rita de Cássia de Quadros; VILLACORTA, Gisela Macambira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4673875521234184
The craft of blessing consists of a cultural practice of popular knowledge in the Municipality of Tracuateua/ PA related to religious healing. Besides its intrinsic spiritual aspects, blessing is an important source of knowledge production for that community, despite the devaluation of its practice in relation to scientific knowledge. On regard to this theme, this work aimed, through an ethnographic study, to analyze the epistemology of blessing, from popular knowledge and healing practices, based on the concept of education of attention proposed by Tim Ingold. We seek to report the impacts of the overlapping of scientific knowledge over other knowledge, to identify the reasons for the devaluation of blessing practices and to signal the importance of dialogues between knowledges and the valorization of knowledge, regardless of its origin. From this epistemological analysis, we aim to subsidize public policies for the valorization of knowledge and cultural practices.

Programa de controle do tabagismo na Amazônia brasileira, Castanhal-PA: contexto interdisciplinar, efetividade e adesão
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-29) BRAGA, Luane Rafaela Barbosa; CUNHA, Janice Muriel Fernandes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4027012189701116
This study analyzes the effectiveness of the National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP)'s effectiveness in Castanhal-PA, a Brazilian Amazon city. The program was implemented in 2006 and underwent decentralization in 2018. However, in the context of the Unified Health System (SUS) in the Amazon study, the effective implementation of the tobacco control program is filled with difficulties. So, we analyze the program's offering and retention rates, smoking cessation, population of smoking clients, treatment initiation and completion percentage, and association between sociodemographic variables and treatment outcomes. The study analyzed smoking users through FORMSUS forms from 32 Health Units that had anti-smoking treatment from January 2021 to December 2022. We used linear regression and retrospective descriptive statistical analysis. We also apply the chi-square test to check for differences. We visualized and analyzed the data using Microsoft Office® Excel. A sample of 227 individuals was studied in 2021 and 2022. Most participants were female (60.9%) and 60 or older (40.0%). About 47.9% reported having 02 to 03 minimum wages. Smoking was prevalent, with 40% smoking more than 04 cigarettes per day and 116 individuals smoking for more than 20 years. There was a high dropout rate from the NTCP in both years (71.87% and 70.99%). The variables "family income" and "race/color" were statistically associated (p-value = 0.0001). Implementing the NTCP varies by location, and units with the highest success rates can be used as best practice examples to improve access and achieve smoking cessation goals across the municipality. Regional peculiarities and logistical obstacles impact the success of the PNAB and PNCT in the Amazon context.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-07-01) ANDRADE, Etiene Monteiro de; BEZERRA, Isis Abel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3274919406647242
The objective of this study was to verify what the population of Curuçá, a municipality in the Amazon of Pará, in which bat attacks are second in reports of aggression by animals, knows about the transmission, prevention and risks of rabies, especially that transmitted bats, as well as identifying the means of communication used by the population to inform themselves about the disease and news in general. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, with a sample of 377 city dwellers, randomly selected by means of a proportional stratified sampling, considering the census sectors of Curuçá as strata. These subjects answered a semi-structured questionnaire to assess what they knew about rabies and the means used to obtain this information. As a result, it was found that the majority of respondents (72.9%) stated that they know what rabies is, although they do not know how to indicate aspects such as reservoirs, forms of transmission and symptoms, in addition to not presenting self-care practices for rabies. prevention. It was also found that the bat is the second most present animal in reports of aggressions (24.6%) and that the majority of respondents (67.9%) were unaware of the outbreaks in the state in 2004 and 2005. It was concluded with this study that the knowledge of the population of Curuçá about rabies is limited, obtained mainly in their own circle of coexistence, through personal contacts and as for the mass media, a preference was found to obtain information by means that do not require reading, such as television and radio. This work points out what content needs to be accessible to this population and the means of communication that would be most effective in this socio-geographical and cultural context.
