Avaliação de conhecimento contraceptivo entre adolescentes grávidas em uma unidade básica de saúde do Distrito Federal

Objetivo - Avaliar o conhecimento de adolescentes gravidas sobre metodos contraceptivos em relacao as acoes dos mesmos, bem como a importância referente a seu uso. Metodos - O metodo empregado foi quantitativo, de carater descritivo. A amostra correspondeu a 50 adolescentes gravidas, com idade entre 11 a 19, que responderam a um questionario contendo perguntas sobre o tema. A seguir, foram calculadas as frequencias da distribuicao dos dados. Resultados - A analise dos dados mostrou que a media de idade encontrada foi de 16 anos; os metodos mais conhecidos por elas sao os preservativos masculino (94%) e feminino (68%), o anticoncepcional oral (70%), injetavel (70%)e de emergencia (64%). Das gestantes, 54% relataram que nao utilizaram nenhum metodo na primeira relacao sexual, justificando o "esquecimento"ou a "abstracao" durante a relacao; todavia 40% ja fazia uso frequente de algum metodo anticoncepcional antes de engravidar, sendo o anticoncepcional oral o mais usado por elas. Conclusao - As adolescentes demonstraram conhecimento inadequado com relacao a alguns metodos anticoncepcionais e baixa frequencia de uso desses metodos. (AU) Objective - To evaluate the knowledge of pregnant adolescents on contraception in relation to the action of the same, and the importance on to use. Methods - The method that has been used was descriptive, qualitative and quantitative. The samples corresponded to 50 pregnant adolescents whose ages varies from 11 and 19 years old that have been answered a questionnaire about the proposed topic. Following it were calculated the frequency distribution of the dates. Results - The adolescents had an average age of 16, contraceptives are most notorious for male condoms (94%) and females (68%), the oral contraceptive (70%), injection (70%) and emergency (64% ), and 54% of them did not use any method at first intercourse, the main reason the fact was their "failure" of that time and 40% had frequent use of any contraceptive method before pregnancy, oral contraception being the most used by them. Conclusion - The adolescents showed inadequate knowledge about certain contraceptive methods and low frequency of using these methods. (AU)
Clostridium butyricumas probiotic for promoting growth performance, feed utilization, gut health and microbiota community of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus)

The feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potentials of Clostridium butyricum in the diet of tilapia. Fish (~14 g) were fed with basal diet supplemented with 0 (Control), 0.5 (C‐1), 1 (C‐2), 2 (C‐3), 4 (C‐4) and 8 (C‐5) g/kg commercial probiotic‐containing C. butyricum (1.5 × 10⁸ CFU/g) for 8 weeks. The results showed that weight gain significantly increased, and feed conversion ratio decreased in the C‐2, C‐3 and C‐4 groups (p < .05). The protein retention (except C‐1 group), lipid retention and apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of dry matter in probiotic supplementation groups were significantly enhanced, and ADC of protein in the C‐4 group was also improved (p < .05). The supplementation of probiotic significantly increased villus height in anterior intestines and reduced the numbers of intestinal Escherichia coli (p < .05). High‐throughput sequencing showed that top three phyla namely Planctomycetes in all probiotic‐containing groups, Proteobacteria in the C‐1 and C‐2 groups and Chloroflexi in the C‐3 group had higher level than the NC group. The cumulative mortality was reduced by dietary probiotic after challenging with Aeromonas hydrophila (p < .05). In conclusion, C. butyricum can be supplemented at 1–2 g/kg feed for promoting the growth, feed utilization, gut health and microbiota of tilapia.
Middle School Teachers’ Academic and Behavioral Perceptions of Their Students and Expectations for High School Graduation

Teacher expectations of students have been consistently linked with student academic achievement. What is less known is how students’ actual behaviors and performance shape teachers’ perceptions of them, particularly when considering student gender and race/ethnicity. A diverse dyadic sample of 1,653 seventh graders with 63 reporting teachers was used to examine how teaching experience, student behavioral citations, and grade point average were related to teachers’ perceptions of each student’s antisocial behavior, academic motivation, and likelihood of graduating high school. Results showed that more experienced teachers perceived students more positively, which in turn shaped more favorable perspectives of student graduation. Unsurprisingly, when students were cited for behavioral disruptions, they were perceived more negatively by teachers. Similarly, when students were more academically successful, teachers perceived them more positively. However, several nuances were found based on student gender and race/ethnicity that point to a potentially significant role of teacher expectations in student outcomes.
Effect The Use of Steel Fibers (Dramix) on Reinforced Concrete Slab

: Currently, concrete technology continues to grow and continue to innovate one of them using fibers. Fiber concrete has advantages over non-fiber concrete, among others, strong against the effect of shrinkage, ability to reduce crack, fire resistance, etc. In this study, concrete mix design using the procedures listed on SNI 03-2834-2000. The sample used is a cylinder with a height of 30 cm and a width of 15cm in diameter, which is used for compression and tensile testing, while the slab is 400cm x 100cm x 15cm. The fiber used is steel fiber (dramix), with the addition of 2/3 of the thickness of the slabs. The charging is done using a two-point loading. From the result of the research, it is found that the loading of non-fiber slab (0%) of the initial crack is the maximum crack that has passed the maximum crack allowed with a crack width of 1.3 mm with a loading of 1160 kg. The initial crack with the largest load is found on the 1% fiber mixed slab, with the initial crack also being a maximum crack of 0.5mm which also has exceeded the required maximum crack. In the 4% slab the initial crack of 0.1 mm is a minimal initial crack with a load greater than the load of a non-fiber (0%) slab by load1200 kg. While the maximum load on the maximum crack according to the applicable maximum crack conditions, on the 5% fiber mixed slab with a crack width of 0.32mm by loading 1250 kg.
The determinants of integrated reporting quality in financial institutions

This study aims to investigate the financial and country-level determinants of integrated reporting quality in the financial industry. Specifically, this study analyses the impact of profitability, size, leverage and civil law system on the integrated reporting quality. ,Hypotheses were tested using a regression model on a sample of 87 financial institutions. An integrated reporting (IR)-quality scoreboard was used to measure report quality. ,The results show that IR quality is significantly and positively influenced by profitability, size, financial leverage and the civil law system. ,The results have particularly important implications for large, profitable financial institutions that make greater use of financial leverage and that are localized in non-civil law countries. Managers should increase transparency by expanding the content and quality of the information contained in the integrated reports. ,This study contributes to the literature by revealing several financial factors that influence IR quality. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to investigate IR quality in the context of the financial industry.
Dentists’ Willingness to Report Suspected Violence Cases in Saudi Arabia

Background and Aim: Violence is a life-threatening issue that mainly affects head and neck areas. Dentist might be the first person to notice this type of injury. This study aimed to investigate dentists’ willingness to report suspected violence exposure of their patients and factors associated with their willingness. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study of 363 dentists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a previously validated self-administered questionnaire was distributed, in both printed and electronic forms (Google Forms), to collect data on personal characteristics, professional background, and negative perception and professional attitude toward reporting suspected violence. Descriptive and analytic statistics were applied. Significance was considered at P ≤ 0.05. Results: The majority of dentists reported positive perception (88.4%) and positive attitude (68.0%) toward reporting suspected violence, with percentage mean scores of 35.2 ± 19.6 and 83.5 ± 15.0, respectively. Higher professional attitude score was significantly associated with the ability of dentists to recognize signs of violence (t = 3.19, P = 0.002). Negative perception mean scores were significantly higher with non-Saudi nationality (t = 2.03, P = 0.043), private sector (F = 3.33, P = 0.037), no training on abuse management (t = 3.02, P = 0.003), and perceived ability to identify victims of violence (t = 2.61, P = 0.01). After adjusting for potential confounders, negative perception was predicted by non-Saudi nationality (P = 0.028) and no history of previous training in abuse management (P = 0.004). Conclusion: Almost all dentists have high professional attitude scores and low negative perception scores toward reporting violence, which reflect a good sense of responsibility toward their patients and community. Educational training in abuse management must be a requirement for dental practice.
Reliable Sampling Tissue and Seasonality for Consistent Detection of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ by qPCR

Body of Text Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most serious disease of citrus, putatively caused by the bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) in the USA. Most commercial citrus cultivars are susceptible to the disease, particularly conventional sweet oranges and grapefruit, decline severely in health and productivity (Bové 2006, Gottwald 2010). Early detection and prompt response are key factors in the eradication or suppression of HLB epidemics in California. Real-time PCR is the standard regulatory method for CLas detection and it can detect as little as a single copy of bacterium in a sample. However, due to lack of visible symptoms, low titer and uneven distribution of CLas in a tree, selecting the best sample is a major hurdle for early detection by qPCR. Regulatory testing of CLas by qPCR stipulates sampling of mature leaves. Such leaves are good for visual inspection of HLB symptoms but can be unreliable tissue for early detection and low titer infections. Symptoms of HLB develop slowly and without symptoms, collecting that right leaf/shoot amongst >200,000 estimated leaves per mature tree is practically impossible for early diagnosis.
Teacher Education for Justice and Equity: 40 Years of Advocacy

ABSTRACT Consistent with the anniversary theme of this special issue of ATE, this article offers an overview of 40 years of advocacy for social justice- and equity-centered teacher preparation through three extended examples from the author’s own work. Arranged chronologically and shaped by differing policy and political landscapes, the examples represent contrasting genres of scholarship emerging from the author’s involvement in different aspects of the work of teacher education. Each example provides a snapshot of equity-related advocacy work in teacher preparation at a particular point in time and a particular social and political context. Taken together, the three examples also suggest that a number of key questions recur in advocacy (and controversy) related to justice- and equity-oriented teacher preparation, including: What is the meaning of equity in teacher preparation? What is the meaning of practice? What kinds of knowledge are needed to teach well? What does it mean to learn to teach? The article comments on the shifting policy contexts that have shaped efforts to advocate for justice- and equity-oriented teacher education. It concludes by connecting 40 years of advocacy to a major current controversy related to equity and teacher education.
Protective role of prostaglandin E1 analog in indomethacin-induced deterioration in acute respiratory distress syndrome in rats

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe inflammatory condition. Our earlier studies have characterized oleic acid (OA)-induced rat model of ARDS which was exacerbated by indomethacin (prostaglandin [PG] synthesis inhibitor). Aim and Objectives: The role of PGs in ARDS is ill defined as the results of earlier studies are conflicting. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of PGE1 analog (misoprostol) in indomethacin-induced exacerbation of ARDS in rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were anesthetized with urethane. Tracheal and jugular vein cannulation was done to keep the respiratory tract patent and deliver drugs, respectively. Respiratory excursions were recorded with the help of force displacement transducer. Cannulated carotid artery was connected to pressure transducer for recording of blood pressure. Electrocardiographic potentials were recorded by needle electrodes. Animals were divided into four groups. In Group I, OA (75 μl) was used to induce ARDS in rats. In Group II, OA was injected in indomethacinpretreated rats. In Group III (control group), animals were treated with ethanol. In Group IV, OA was administered after indomethacin + misoprostol pretreatment. Misoprostol treatment was repeated after OA injection at 20 min interval. Cardiorespiratory parameters (respiratory frequency, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and pulmonary water content) were determined, and histological examination of the lung was done in all groups. Results: Indomethacin pretreatment drastically advanced the OA-induced ARDS. Misoprostol protected against the deterioration as indicated by improvement in all the parameters and increase in survival time. Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that PGs have protective role in ARDS.

Correlates of Anemia Status Among Women of Reproductive Age in Ethiopia

Background : Anemia is a condition characterized by a low level of hemoglobin in the blood which seriously affects young children and women (1). It is a global public health problem affecting both developing and developed countries with major consequences for human health as well as social and economic development. Objective: To identify socio-economic, demographic and health correlates of anemia status among women of reproductive age in Ethiopia. Methods: Data from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey conducted in 2011 was used for this study. Data of a total of 15,567 women of reproductive age were included in the analysis. The prevalence of anaemia was calculated and chi-square tests, odds ratios and binary logistic regression were used to identify the relationship between anemia and each independent variable. Results: The overall prevalence of anemia in the women aged 15-49 years was 19.9 %. Total number of children born, BMI, region, educational level, wealth index, pregnancy, months of breast feeding and contraceptive use were significantly correlated with anemia. Utilizing maternity services, receiving iron tablet and drug use for intestinal parasite have a significant effect in reducing the risk of anemia. The exposure of anemia increases with gestational age among pregnant women. Recommendation: Women health intervention programs including access to maternal health care service, iron supplementation, drug use for intestinal parasite, improving mothers’ access to education and family planning practice have been strongly recommended in order to reduce the risk of anemia among women.
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Two Methods to Improve Motivational Interviewing Training

Purpose: This randomized controlled study examines the efficacy of two innovative methods to teach beginning motivational interviewing (MI) skills: live supervision (LS), a small group experiential learning interaction with standardized client actors and in-the-moment guidance from a supervisor, and a coding learning (CL) method, where students in a classroom setting are introduced to MI skill development via learning to code MI practice behaviors. Methods: Seventeen social work students in a child welfare training program were randomized to receive either LS or CL training method. Changes in MI knowledge, attitudes, and MI skill were assessed through self-report and observational measures pretraining, posttraining, and at 5 months follow-up, after a semester of learning-as-usual. Results: Both training groups demonstrated an improvement in MI knowledge and attitudes from pretest to follow-up. MI skill gain within groups varied for specific MI skills. Discussion: Implications for maximally efficient MI training are advanced.
Development of a Model to Study the Abscopal Effect: Combining Image-guided Radiation Therapy and Immunotherapy in Cancer Treatment

Distant metastases are a limiting factor in cancer patient survival as they are least accessible to conventional therapies. Effective therapy should treat primary tumours and metastatic disease. Use of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRx) enables high doses of radiation to be delivered for better tumour control while minimizing toxicity to healthy tissues. Systemic effects on distant non-irradiated tissues have been observed following IGRx. This phenomenon, termed the abscopal effect, is hypothesized to be mediated by the immune system. The inflammatory milieu generated following IGRx may activate immune cells to mount specific anti-tumour responses. The work described in this thesis aims to develop a model to study the abscopal effect, and evaluate the potential of combining IGRx and immunotherapy to enhance such distant tumour killing. Results from these studies may have clinical implications, where a combined IGRx and immunotherapy approach may prove useful in eliciting regression of local tumours and distant metastases.
Comparison of Cuff Pressure Changes Between Air with Oxygen or Nitrous Oxide with Oxygen During General Anaesthesia Using Proseal LMA for Laproscopic Surgery

Background: LMA exerts pressure on the pharyngeal mucosa which may lead to throat discomfort. Nitrous oxide is known to diffuse into air containing cavity.Nitrous oxide use causes increase in proseal LMA(PLMA)cuff pressure was proved, but whether the resulting increased cuff pressure leading to laryngopharyngeal morbidity which is clinically important remains unclear. We therefore, tested the hypothesis. Methods:Eighty patients are randomly divided into group A(O2+Air) and group N(O2+N2O) each containing 40 Patients using computer generated randomization list. Patients monitored during surgical procedure regarding intraoperative hemodynamic changes , increase in PLMA cuff pressure , number of deflations required and laryngopharyngeal morbidity during intra and postoperatively upto 24 hrs.PLMA cuff pressure was monitored using cuff pressure monitor[VBM Aneroid meter]. Results:There were no significant intraoperative differences between two groups air andnitrous oxide with respect to hemodynamic parameters, but statistically significant ( p valve < 0.001) cuff pressure changeswith nitrous oxide use which was exceeding > 60 cms of H2O and upto six deflations to maintain pressure in PLMA were required . There was no statistically significant difference for laryngopharyngeal morbidity, probably because we have limited cuff pressure upto 60 cms of H2O in nitrous oxide group as well in laproscopic surgeries > 3 hrs. Conclusions:Our study concludes that use of cuff pressure monitoring in PLMA to maintain cuff pressure as recommended by the manufacturer probablyreduces the incidence of postoperative pharyngo-laryngeal morbidity. Cuff pressures are increased with nitrous oxide use and repeated deflation of cuff is required . Butpharyngo-laryngeal morbidity can be limited by deflation and monitoring of cuff pressure for nitrous oxide.Nitrous oxide can be safely used forlaproscopic surgeries with PLMA for surgeries lasting less than three hours .
Comparative analysis of gross motor coordination between overweight/obese and eutrophic children

Abstract Introduction: Overweight and obese children may have lower motor coordination score than normal-weight children. Objective: To compare gross motor coordination between overweight/obese and normal-weight children and investigate the associated factors with the motor coordination scores. Method: This cross-sectional study involved 169 children of both genders, aged 6-9 years. Children with malformations, bone, muscle, and joint or neurological disorders, and BMI z < -2 were excluded. Gross motor coordination was assessed by the “Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder” (KTK). The associated factors with the motor coordination scores were analyzed by linear regression. Results: The mean scores for balancing backwards (84.2 ± 13.2 vs. 91.0 ± 15.0), hopping over on one foot (127.9 ± 10.1 vs. 132.3 ± 12.1), shifting platforms sidewise (123.5 ± 23.4 vs. 129.8 ± 14.9), as well as the overall motor scores (112.5 ± 14.8 vs. 118.8 ± 11.6) were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in overweight/obese children when compared to normal-weight children. The percentage of poor motor scores (< 85) in balancing backwards was higher in overweight/obese children (60.4% vs. 36.4%, p = 0.004) and was similar for jumping sideways (18.8% vs. 9.9%, p = 0.116), as well as for shifting platforms sidewise (6.3% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.070). By multiple linear regression analysis, the variables overweight/obesity and sports practice for less than 2 times/week decreased significantly (p < 0.05) the motor coordination score by -18.7 and -15.6 points, respectively. Conclusion: The overweight/obese children scored lower in the motor coordination tests compared to the normal-weight children. Overweight/obesity and low frequency of physical activity were associated with lower scores of gross motor coordination.
