ABSTRACT

Resumo Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as informações sobre surtos de diarreia no Nordeste do Brasil ocorridos no ano de 2013, veiculadas pela mídia eletrônica e pelos dados obtidos por sistemas de informação de saúde. Foram identificadas 33 notícias com cunho informativo sobre os surtos, algumas contendo menções sobre as causas e os fatores agravantes dos surtos de diarreia. A análise da distribuição espacial e temporal de notícias, internações e óbitos revelou que mais de 100 mil pessoas foram acometidas e, de acordo com as notícias analisadas, os estados mais atingidos foram Alagoas e Pernambuco, com maior extensão nos meses de maio a julho. O uso de fontes alternativas de água, como cacimbas, poços, caminhões-pipa e reservatórios domésticos foram apontados como as causas mais imediatas destes surtos. No entanto, outros fatores subjacentes como a precariedade estrutural dos sistemas de abastecimento de água na região do semiárido, as condições excepcionais de seca, considerada a pior dos últimos 60 anos, bem como a capacidade do setor saúde para atender um grande volume de casos, devem ser considerados para recuperar o contexto em que estes surtos são produzidos.


Abstract This study has the objective of analyzing information about diarrhea outbreaks in Brazil’s northeast in the year 2013. Information came from electronic media and from health information systems. A total of 33 news events related to diarrhea outbreaks were identified, some of them mentioning causes and aggravating factors. The analysis of spatial and temporal distribution of the news, admissions and deaths showed that more than 100,000 persons were affected and, according to the news analyzed, the most affected states were Alagoas and Pernambuco, with a greater extent in the months from May to July. The use of alternative sources of water such as ponds, wells, water trucks and household water reservoirs were identified as the most immediate causes of these outbreaks. However, other underlying factors such as precarious water supply systems in the semi-arid region, the exceptional conditions of drought, considered the worst in the last 60 years, as well as the capacity of the health sector to respond to a large number of cases, should be considered to recover the context in which these outbreaks are produced.

ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo parte de una breve fundamentación teórica que soporta una estructura metodológica tendiente al cálculo de cambio climático, el estudio de la variabilidad climática en el territorio de las cuencas de los ríos Zulia y Pamplonita en Norte de Santander y la identificación inicial de medidas potenciales de adaptación al cambio climático y la variabilidad climática. En su desarrollo se identificaron y espacializaron las tendencias de cambio climático y las alteraciones más probables de los fenómenos de variabilidad climática asociados al ciclo ENSO6 para el período 1981-2010 en las cuencas objeto de estudio. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la temperatura media ha cambiado entre 0,1 y 0,4ºC por década en las cuencas, la precipitación ha aumentado de 0 a 250 mm/década y los ciclos ENSO generan alteraciones en la variabilidad climática de las cuencas de manera diferenciada a nivel estacional e interanual, especialmente en los trimestres Dic-Ene-Feb, Jun-Jul-Ago y Sep-Oct-Nov.


This work is based on a brief theoretical foundation that supports a methodological structure aimed at the calculations of climate change, the study of climate variability in the territory of the basins of the Zulia and Pamplonita rivers in Norte de Santander and the initial identification of potential measures of adaptation to climate change and climate variability..In its development, the climate change trends and the most likely alterations of the climate variability phenomena associated with the ENSO cycle for the period 1981-2010 in the basins of the object of study were identified and spatialized. The results obtained show that the average temperature has changed between 0.1 and 0.4°C per decade in the basins, precipitation has increased from 0 to 250 mm/decade and the ENSO cycles generate alterations in the climate variability of the basins on a differentiated manner on a seasonal and year-on-year level, especially in the Dec-Jan-Feb, Jun-Jul-Aug and Sep-Oct-Nov quarters.
