<p>O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar uma análise evolutiva sobre o desflorestamento ocorrido na sub-bacia hidrográfica do rio Itacaiúnas, região sudeste do Pará, no período de 2006 a 2017, em quatro intervalos trienais (2006-2008, 2009-2011, 2012-2014, 2015-2017). O método empregado foi o dedutivo, com abrangência quantitativa e qualitativa, de natureza aplicada. Os dados para elaboração dos mapas temáticos foram obtidos na base de dados geográficos do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), do Sistema de Detecção de Desflorestamento em Tempo Real (DETER), do programa de Monitoramento da Floresta Amazônica Brasileira por Satélite (PRODES), para, em seguida processar e tratar as informações coletadas com uso da ferramenta de densidade de Kernel, a partir do “software” QGis versão 3.4 ltr. Já os dados secundários foram obtidos em bases de dados de acesso livre, como Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento do Pessoal de Ensino Superior (CAPES), Web Science e Google Scholar, com recorte temporal situado entre 2011 e 2020, exceto as literaturas e leis. Os dados obtidos e analisados indicaram que o período de 2006 a 2008 concentrou o maior número de registro de áreas desflorestadas, que o menor ocorreu entre 2012 e 2014 e que os municípios de Marabá, São Geraldo, Eldorado dos Carajás, Piçarra, Água Azul do Norte e Canaã dos Carajás foram aqueles que registraram a maior quantidade de pontos quanto aos desflorestamentos. Com isso, foi verificado que o controle por georreferenciamento e a presença dos órgãos de fiscalização são úteis na avaliação do desflorestamento.</p><p> </p><p align="center">MULTITEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF DEFORESTATION THAT OCCURRED BETWEEN 2006 AND 2017 IN SOUTHEAST PARÁ.</p><p>The objective of this research was to conduct an analysis of the evolution of deforestation in the Sub-basin of the Itacaiúnas River, located in the southeastern region of Pará, from 2006 to 2017, in four three-year intervals (2006-2008, 2009-2011, 2012-2014, 2015-2017). The method used was the deductive one, with quantitative and qualitative scope, of nature applied. The data for the elaboration of thematic maps were obtained from the geographic database of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), the Real-Time Deforestation Detection System (DETER), the Brazilian Amazon Forest Satellite Monitoring Program (PRODES) and then processed and treated the data acquired using the Kernel Density Tool from the software QGis version 3. Four ltr. The secondary ones were obtained in open-access databases such as Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Higher Education Thought Improvement Coordination (CAPES), Web Science, and Google Scholars with time clipping located between 2011 and 2020, except for literature and laws. The data obtained and analyzed indicated that the period 2006-2008 concentrated the most significant number of deforested areas, and the smallest occurred between 2012 and 2014. They also noted that the municipalities of Marabá, São Geraldo, Eldorado dos Carajás, Piçarra, Água Azul do Norte and Canaã dos Carajás were those that registered the highest number of deforestation points. With this, it was verified that the control by georeferencing and the presence of the inspection agencies are useful in the deforestation.</p>

In this article, we present some facts to contextualize the recent attacks against the Brazilian Amazon Monitoring Project carried out by the Brazilian government on the question of deforestation rates. We argue that these attacks represent a symptom of fundamental aspects of the case that need a sociological analysis of the ideologies that justify the reproduction of inequalities in the expansion of the frontier, as well as the influence that the beneficiaries of this process have acquired within the national policies for the Amazon region.

Educational audiologists often must delegate certain tasks to other educational personnel who function as support personnel and need training in order to perform assigned tasks. Support personnel are people who, after appropriate training, perform tasks that are prescribed, directed, and supervised by a professional such as a certified and licensed audiologist. The training of support personnel to perform tasks that are typically performed by those in other disciplines is calledmultiskilling. This article discusses multiskilling and the use of support personnel in educational audiology in reference to the following principles: guidelines, models of multiskilling, components of successful multiskilling, and "dos and don’ts" for multiskilling. These principles are illustrated through the use of multiskilling in the establishment of a hearing aid monitoring program. Successful multiskilling and the use of support personnel by educational audiologists can improve service delivery to school-age children with hearing loss.

Purpose Improved medical care leading to increased survivorship among patients with cancer and infectious diseases has created a need for ototoxicity monitoring programs nationwide. The goal of this report is to promote effective and standardized coding and 3rd-party payer billing practices for the audiological management of symptomatic ototoxicity. Method The approach was to compile the relevant International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10-CM) codes and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT; American Medical Association) codes and explain their use for obtaining reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. Results Each claim submitted to a payer for reimbursement of ototoxicity monitoring must include both ICD-10-CM codes to report the patient's diagnosis and CPT codes to report the services provided by the audiologist. Results address the general 3rd-party payer guidelines for ototoxicity monitoring and ICD-10-CM and CPT coding principles and provide illustrative examples. There is no “stand-alone” CPT code for high-frequency audiometry, an important test for ototoxicity monitoring. The current method of adding a –22 modifier to a standard audiometry code and then submitting a letter rationalizing why the test was done has inconsistent outcomes and is time intensive for the clinician. Similarly, some clinicians report difficulty getting reimbursed for detailed otoacoustic emissions testing in the context of ototoxicity monitoring. Conclusions Ethical practice, not reimbursement, must guide clinical practice. However, appropriate billing and coding resulting in 3rd-party reimbursement for audiology services rendered is critical for maintaining an effective ototoxicity monitoring program. Many 3rd-party payers reimburse for these services. For any CPT code, payment patterns vary widely within and across 3rd-party payers. Standardizing coding and billing practices as well as advocacy including letters from audiology national organizations may be necessary to help resolve these issues of coding and coverage in order to support best practice recommendations for ototoxicity monitoring.
