SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To review data regarding the effects of hepatitis C virus eradication on glycemic control and insulin resistance. METHODS: This is an integrative literature review, carried out in the PubMed, SciELO, and Lilacs databases. Studies published in the past five years that were fully available, written in English or Portuguese, and have addressed the effects of eradication of the hepatitis C virus on glycemic control and insulin resistance were selected. RESULTS: Nine studies were selected. Among the results found, it was observed that there is no consensus on the effects of viral eradication on glycemic control and IR, as some authors show an eventual improvement in insulin resistance and glycemic control, while other studies indicate that there are no significant differences between the parameters evaluated after viral eradication. CONCLUSIONS: Although there is a relationship between hepatitis C virus infection and the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus and recent advances in research, it was observed that there is no consensus on improving insulin resistance and glycemic control after antiviral treatment, probably due to methodological differences between studies. However, it emphasizes the need to guide people diagnosed with hepatitis C, regarding changes in lifestyle, encouragement of multidisciplinary monitoring, and control of other risk factors.

Stimulate the senses of wine tourism is key to improve your experience. This research seeks to explore the experience of visitors by interacting with the multisensory technology implemented into the Experiential Wine and Pisco Museum in Arequipa, Peru. A qualitative-phenomenological methodology has been used to achieve the aforementioned purpose. The results give an account of the experience of the visitors was mostly satisfactory, the visitors felt stimulated all their senses, generating in them a novel experience, indeed. However, there are elements that negatively affected the visit. This research allows to understand the importance, limitations and consequences of the application of innovative technology in the wine and pisco tourism sector.

Estimular los sentidos de los visitantes a museos es clave para mejorar su experiencia.

O sistema de navegação GPS automotivo é um sistema veicular que auxilia o motorista, através de mapas e indicadores de manobra, o caminho que ele deve percorrer até o seu destino. Este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre a usabilidade de tarefas típicas de seleção do destino em três sistemas vendidos no Brasil, com métodos de entrada de dados e interfaces distintos. A pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar se problemas de usabilidade também ocorriam em navegadores brasileiros. Para tanto, foram aplicados testes de usabilidade com usuários experientes e não experientes, com o intuito de medir a eficácia, a eficiência e a satisfação de uso (métricas de usabilidade) das três interfaces. Com os resultados dos testes, pôde-se observar diversos problemas de usabilidade no projeto das interfaces avaliadas. Também, com base neles, foi possível sugerir soluções adequadas para a organização e navegação de menus e comandos.

The automotive GPS navigation system is an in-vehicle system that helps drivers find their way to their destination through maps and maneuvering indicators. This article presents a study on the usability of typical tasks of destination selection in three navigation systems sold in Brazil, with different data entry methods and interfaces. The research aimed to calculate the occurrence of usability problems in navigators in Brazil. Usability tests were applied to both experienced and non-experienced users in order to measure the effectiveness, efficiency and use satisfaction (usability metrics) of the three interfaces. With the tests results, several usability issues were observed in the design of the interfaces evaluated and appropriate solutions were suggested to the organization and navigation of menus and commands.
