Saúde no cárcere: uma revisão integrativa da literatura / Health conditions in prison: an integrative literature review

O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão integrativa de literatura, a fim de conhecer o que tem sido pesquisado sobre o direito e a assistência à saúde das pessoas privadas de liberdade. Foram realizadas buscas na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, por meio dos descritores: "prisão", "assistência à saúde" e "direitos à saúde". Obteve-se uma amostra composta por 14 artigos, cuja análise foi expressa em três categorias: contexto da atenção à saúde das pessoas privadas de liberdade, saúde da população prisional feminina e acesso aos serviços de saúde no cárcere. Os resultados evidenciam que via de regra o sistema prisional se caracteriza como um local de violação dos direitos humanos, em face dos diversos obstáculos enfrentados pelas pessoas privadas de liberdade para acesso aos serviços de saúde

The aim of this study was to carry out an integrative literature review in order to know what has been researched about the right to health of people deprived of liberty. The searches were carried out in the Virtual Health Library with the following descriptors: "prison", "health care" and "right to health". A final sample of 14 articles was obtained, whose analysis was expressed in three categories: context of health care for people deprived of liberty, health of the female prison population, and access to health services in prison. The results show that, as a rule, the prison system is characterized as a place of violation of human rights, given the various obstacles faced by people deprived of liberty in accessing health services

A socioeconomic and natural vulnerability index for oil spills in an Amazonian harbor: a case study using GIS and remote sensing.

The coastal zone of the Brazilian state of Maranhão is an area characterized by a large variety of human activities and services, in particular in the Itaqui-Bacanga port complex (IBC). The IBC is an area prone to oil spills resulting from the processes of transportation, storage, and tank cleaning. The present study aimed to map the different physical environments adjacent to this complex and the socioeconomic profile of the local population that would be most vulnerable to this type of disaster. Vulnerability studies are essential as one of the first step in the development of an integrated coastal zone management. The variables analyzed in this study included geomorphological units, and the income, education, and dependence on fishing of the local population. The estimate of the vulnerability index was based on the relationships between these variables, which were used to generate a vulnerability map using GIS and the interpretation of high-resolution remote sensing, showing the areas of highest priority for intervention in the case of oil spills. The analysis of the natural and socioeconomic environments indicated that the areas of highest vulnerability correspond to the mangroves and the Vila Nova and Alto da Esperança neighborhoods, respectively. These neighborhoods have a direct relationship with fishing, and low levels of both income and education. By contrast, the lowest vulnerability was attributed to the coastal plateau and the central Anjo da Guarda neighborhood, which is occupied by residents with relatively high income and education, who do not depend on fishing.
