ESPIRITUALIDADE: DO CONCEITO À ANAMNESE ESPIRITUAL E ESCALAS PARA AVALIAÇÃO

A integração da espiritualidade de forma sistemática e profunda na prática clí-nica tem sido recomendada como forma de transmitir aos pacientes a certeza de sua posição no centro dos cuidados. A maioria dos pacientes tem alguma forma de religiosidade/espiritualidade que influencia tanto os processos envolvidos na manutenção da saúde e no adoecimento, quanto nas formas de enfrentamento das adversidades. Muitos pacientes e seus familiares têm demandas na esfera da espiritualidade, principalmente em doenças graves, crônicas ou próximas do fim. Há um conjunto de evidências que indicam que diversas expressões da espirituali-dade têm impacto significativo na saúde e no bem-estar, que se associa a menores níveis de mortalidade geral, depressão, suicídio e uso de substâncias e a aumento da qualidade de vida. Além de grande lacuna na formação médica para realizar a anamnese espiritual adequada, muitos profissionais têm incertezas sobre a recep-tividade dos pacientes, a percepção de invasão de privacidade ou a imposição de religião, dificuldades na linguagem da espiritualidade, divergências de crença ou mesmo falta de tempo. Para que essa abordagem não seja conflitante há que haver preparo e aceitação tanto por parte dos profissionais de saúde, quanto dos pacientes e cada momento de interação deve ser transformado em oportunidade para uma avaliação natural e sensível da espiritualidade. Neste artigo, os autores apresentam diversos conceitos sobre espiritualidade e propostas para o rastreamento e anamnese baseadas em questionários e escalas disponíveis tanto para prática clínica como para pesquisa.
Neural activity in a hippocampus-like region of the teleost pallium are associated with navigation and active sensing

Neural mechanisms underlying spatial navigation in fish are unknown and little is known, for any vertebrate, about the relationship between active sensing and the formation of spatial maps. The weakly electric fish, Gymnotus Carapo, uses their active electric sense for spatial navigation. The electric organ discharge rate (EODr) undergoes transient increases during navigation to enhance electrosensory sampling. Gymnotus also uses stereotyped forward/ backward swimming as a second form of active sensing that brings objects towards the electroreceptor-dense head region. We wirelessly recorded neural activity from the pallium of freely swimming Gymnotus. Spiking activity was sparse and occurred only during swimming. Notably, some units exhibited significant place specificity and/or association with both forms of active sensing. Our results provide the first characterization of neural activity in a hippocampal-like region of a teleost fish brain and connects active sensing via sensory sampling rate and directed movements to higher order encoding of spatial information.
Molecular Diagnostic of Chicken Parvovirus (ChPV) Affecting Broiler Flocks in Ecuador

Enteric diseases affect poultry and cause important economic losses in many countries worldwide. Avian parvovirus has been linked to enteric conditions, such as malabsorption and runting-stunting syndrome (RSS), characterized by diarrhoea, and reduced weight gain and growth retardation. In 2013 and 2016, 79 samples were collected from different organs of chickens in Ecuador that exhibited signs of diarrhea and stunting syndrome, and analysed for the presence of chicken parvovirus (ChPV). The detection method of ChPV applied was Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), using primers designed from the conserved region of the viral genome that encodes the non-structural protein NS1. Out of the 79 samples, 50.6% (40/79) were positive for ChPV, and their nucleotide and amino acid sequences were analysed to determine their phylogenetic relationship with the sequences reported in the United States, Canada, China, South Korea, Croatia, Poland, Hungary, and Brazil. Strong similarity of nucleotide and amino acid sequences among all analyzed sequences and between the analysed and reference sequences was demonstrated, and the phylogenetic analysis clustered all the sequences within the same group, demonstrating a strong relation between the studied strains and the reference chicken parvovirus strains.
Freedom from financial abuse: persons with intellectual disability discuss protective strategies aimed at empowerment and supported decision-making

Abstract This study explores the topic of abuse through the involvement of persons with intellectual disability residing in Malta, in order to evaluate legislation and practices related to their rights to be free of financial abuse. This study is based on principles of emancipatory research and aims to enhance collaboration between the participants and the researcher, as well as promoting empowerment. Seven participants were recruited to participate in five workshop sessions which sessions were used to collect participants’ feedback and opinions. The findings of this study indicate that the implementation of rights is not always efficiently and easily practiced. Whilst control of personal finances and involvement in decision-making were significant concepts reported by the participants, this study also suggests that power relations in the lives of persons with intellectual disability are a major concern. The balancing of power relations, self-advocacy and self-determination are identified as ways how to address financial abuse. Points of interest Persons with intellectual disability are likely to experience various types of abuse throughout their life, including financial abuse. The participants with intellectual disability in this study experience a considerable amount of control and are ordered around by non-disabled persons. When persons with intellectual disability do not have control over their lives, they find it harder to live independently and to learn how to protect themselves from abuse. When persons with intellectual disability speak up for themselves, make their own decisions, gain information to understand things better and are aware of their rights, they have a better chance of remaining in control of their lives and of learning how to protect themselves. This article suggests that increasing control and independence in the lives of persons with intellectual disability can prevent financial abuse.
Factors Influencing Sustainable Competitive Advantage in the Hospitality Industry

ABSTRACT The present study examines the relationships between absorptive capacity, team culture, competitive intelligence awareness, entrepreneurial behavior, learning capability, and sustainable competitive advantage. Quantitative design and deductive research approach were followed to collect data from hotel management staff in Malaysia. Altogether 550 questionnaires were distributed, and 457 valid questionnaires were received. This study was used to SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) as a statistical analysis technique to assess measurement and structural model. The salient findings of this research: (1) absorptive capacity, team culture, competitive intelligence awareness have a significant impact on learning capability, (2) learning capability has a significant mediating effect between absorptive capacity, team culture, competitive intelligence awareness, and sustainable competitive advantage, (3) entrepreneurial behavior insignificantly impacts on learning capability and sustainable competitive advantage, (4) learning capability has a significant impact on sustainable competitive advantage, (5) Innovativeness actively moderate between learning capability and sustainable competitive advantage. The outcomes of this study may help to hotel business in their long-time survival and sustain their competitive advantage. This present study also suggests the role of sustainable competitive advantage, which offers new insight into gaps and weaknesses in the hotel competitors.
Presence of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) on home exteriors during the autumn dispersal period: Results generated by citizen scientists

The invasive brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål) is a serious nuisance pest in buildings. To address how H. halys select potential overwintering sites and to predict the risk of home invasion, citizen scientists, primarily from the Mid‐Atlantic region of the U.S.A. , were recruited to count the number of H. halys present on the exterior of their homes during the autumn dispersal periods in 2013 and 2014. Volunteers provided daily count data on numbers present on each exterior aspect of the home during the peak dispersal, as well as their home's location, colour and structural material. Among volunteers, fewer adults were counted on white homes compared with brown and tan homes in 2013 and with grey homes in both years. Across all homes, greatest numbers were counted on the north and east walls in both years and on homes with wood, cement or stone exteriors. In addition, significantly more adults were counted on homes in rural landscapes compared with urban areas in both years. Halyomorpha halys were found in greater numbers on darker coloured homes made of natural materials, even though these were less common than other types in the landscape. Thus, homes located in rural landscapes with these features could be prone to larger nuisance infestations of overwintering H. halys.
Knowledge, attitude and perception regarding intellectual property rights among general dental practitioners of Chennai

The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and perception of intellectual property rights among general dental practitioners of Chennai, Tamilnadu. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) has piqued the interests of many dentists, due to the extensive amount of research being done in the field and as there are bounteous amount of competitors in the field, the dentists have turned towards IPR for the protection of their intellectual works such as patents and researches. This was a questionnaire-based study that was done using an online survey platform in the month of April. The questionnaire was circulated among the general dental practitioners of Chennai, Tamilnadu. A total of 150 dental practitioners took part in this survey. Of which 46% (69) were female dentists, while the rest 54% (81) were Male dentists. The dentists were categorized based on age into 21-30 years of age 13% (17). 31-40 years of age: 15% (23). 41-60 years of age: 43% (65). >60 years of age: 9% (14). The dentists were further divided based on the years of experience, 11% (17) dentists had less than two years of experience. 15% (23) dentists had 2-4 years of experience. 12% (18) dentists had 5 to 10 years of experience, and 61% (92) dentists had more than ten years of experience. 16.67% (25) of the female dentists had good knowledge on IPR, while only 12.67% (19) of the Male dentists had good knowledge on IPR.53% (43) of the Male dentists had a positive attitude while only 46% (32) of the female dentists had a positive attitude towards IPR. Male dentists had 48.67% (73) good perception while 37.33% (56) female dentists and good perception.
Postnatal toxicant exposure in 3xTgAD mice promotes gene x environment-related early alterations to neuroimmune epigenetic profiles

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate sex-biased, maladaptive changes to epigenetic regulation critical for development of neuroimmune crosstalk resulting from an early-life toxicant exposure previously associated with increased susceptibility to later-life neurodegeneration. Methods: An evaluation of early-life gene x environment (GxE) interactions was performed in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (Tg) orally exposed to lead acetate (Pb) from postnatal day (PND) 5-9. Following exposure, immunohistochemical analysis was used to evaluate hippocampal expression of DAP12, a marker for perinatal microglia related to microglial-mediated postnatal synaptic pruning of neurons. Altered profiles of three microRNAs critical to homeostatic microglia: neuron signaling (miR-34a, miR-124, miR-132) were measured by
Panoramic stitching of heterogeneous single-cell transcriptomic data

Researchers are generating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) profiles of diverse biological systems1–4 and every cell type in the human body.5 Leveraging this data to gain unprecedented insight into biology and disease will require assembling heterogeneous cell populations across multiple experiments, laboratories, and technologies. Although methods for scRNA-seq data integration exist6,7, they often naively merge data sets together even when the data sets have no cell types in common, leading to results that do not correspond to real biological patterns. Here we present Scanorama, inspired by algorithms for panorama stitching, that overcomes the limitations of existing methods to enable accurate, heterogeneous scRNA-seq data set integration. Our strategy identifies and merges the shared cell types among all pairs of data sets and is orders of magnitude faster than existing techniques. We use Scanorama to combine 105,476 cells from 26 diverse scRNA-seq experiments across 9 different technologies into a single comprehensive reference, demonstrating how Scanorama can be used to obtain a more complete picture of cellular function across a wide range of scRNA-seq experiments.
Significance of Homocysteine Levels in the Management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Literature Review

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder involving cardiovascular, metabolic, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Even though the exact etiology is not clear, many studies suggest genetic and environmental factors play a role. Homocysteine (Hcy) is considered to be an independent risk factor for atherogenic and thrombotic components of various systems. Many studies in the past have evaluated Hcy levels in the PCOS population. This article aims to elaborate on the importance of Hcy levels in the overall management of PCOS. We conducted a PubMed data search using combined keywords PCOS and homocysteine levels and manually screened relevant articles for the review while avoiding duplication of data. After the literature review, we analyzed the relationship between homocysteine levels and various components of PCOS. Most of the studies identified a statistically significant elevation in Hcy levels in PCOS women with insulin resistance, androgen excess, elevated markers of cardiovascular risk, recurrent pregnancy loss, and metformin treatment. We also examined studies that focused on treating hyperhomocysteinemia (Hhcy) in PCOS women. However, because of the limited sample sizes and various inclusion criteria used for subjects in the studies, their clinical implication is unclear in routine practice. Furthermore, we encourage clinicians to follow up on Hcy levels in PCOS women at high risk for any complications in their management course. We believe an observational study on a larger scale in a well-defined PCOS population would be useful to uncover the prevalence of elevated Hcy levels in PCOS women, which would help pave the way for establishing treatment guidelines on serum Hcy levels in PCOS management.
A temperature shift during embryogenesis impacts prevalence of deformity in diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon (
 Salmo salar
 L.)

35 The study investigated effects of a temperature shift during embryogenesis on diploid and 36 triploid Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.) embryo development and juvenile skeletal 37 deformities. From fertilisation, sibling populations were incubated under one of three 38 temperatures (6, 8 or 11 °C) until 400 °days when all fish were then reared under a common 39 temperature until smolt. Survival was negatively impacted by increasing temperatures 40 irrespective of ploidy. There was no effect of incubation temperatures on growth in diploids, 41 but triploids incubated at 6 °C had improved growth rates (thermal growth coefficient; TGC 6 42 °C: 1.05, 8 °C: 0.94, 11 °C: 0.48). Fish from 11 °C in both ploidies showed increased jaw and 43 vertebral deformity prevalence. In response to the temperature change at 400 °days post- 44 fertilisation, upregulation of bmp2 , bmp4 , col2a1 , mmp13 , opn , sparc , and downregulation of 45 ocn further suggest that bone and cartilage formation is compromised after experiencing a 46 thermal shift. The data show that temperature profile during embryogenesis strongly influences 47 future growth and deformity prevalence. Triploids appear to require a lower incubation 48 temperature than the current industry standard of 8 °C to promote better overall performance, 49 however, a thermal shift during embryogenesis was shown to impact expression of important 50 developmental genes. 51 52 53 54 55 56
The stingless bee mandaçaia (Melipona quadrifasciata Lepeletier) increases the quality of greenhouse tomatoes

The pollination of tomatoes in greenhouses using bees (especially Bombus species) has increased worldwide, providing increased productivity. However, no concrete initiative has been carried out with bees for tomato pollination on a commercial scale, in greenhouses in Brazil. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate Melipona quadrifasciata efficiency in pollination and consequent production of tomatoes of different growth habits in greenhouse environment. Two experiments were conducted. The pollen load of the creeping tomato (determined growth) flowers and the fruit quality was quantified in the first experiment, in the greenhouse cultivation treatments with bees, without bees, and in the open environment. In the second experiment, the treatments were carried out with tomato of indeterminate growth in greenhouse with bees and without bees. The bees presented foraging behavior and visitation to tomato flowers. The pollen load for the determined tomato was 433% larger in a closed environment with bees when compared with results obtained in the greenhouse without bees. Fruits produced in greenhouses with bees presented 15% more fresh mass and 41.1% more seeds, than the fruit produced in an open environment. Seed production for indetermined growth tomato was 33% higher when the flower was pollinated and the tomato mass increased up to 16%. The results show the importance of using M. quadrifasciata for pollination in a greenhouse environment. Native bees for pollination of agricultural crops in greenhouse showed promising results, especially for the tomato crop, which is benefited by pollination.
Running scared: when predators become prey

Apex predators play an important role in structuring food webs and are thus key components of healthy, stable ecosystems. While the loss of apex predators has been shown to disrupt ecosystems and trigger trophic cascades, the introduction of novel apex predators to functionally intact systems is less well understood. False Bay, South Africa, is an aggregation site for both white (Carcharodon carcharias) and broadnose sevengill sharks (Notorynchus cepedianus) which together fulfill the role of coastal apex predators. However, since 2009, their position at the top of the food chain has been subverted by the increased presence of killer whales (Orcinus orca) in False Bay. These super predators are known to specialize on certain prey species, and up until 2015 were only documented preying on marine mammals within False Bay. However, in 2015 and 2016 we documented two events in which killer whales preyed upon broadnose sevengill sharks, using a specialized feeding method in which only the liver of each shark was consumed. Although selective feeding on shark liver by killer whales is established, this is the first record of killer whale predations on sevengill sharks in False Bay, and the first documentation of a novel feeding technique, in which killer whales used force applied to the pectoral fins of each shark to rupture the pectoral girdle and thereby access the liver. These predation events resulted in the prolonged absence of sevengill sharks from what is the largest known aggregation site for this species globally, which remained abandoned for up to a month. We briefly review the literature on killer whale behavior, dietary specialization, and population delineation globally and locally, and hypothesize that the novel predations on broadnose sevengill sharks in False Bay are possibly indicative of the arrival of a different sub‐group or ecotype of killer whale in the bay, which habitually feeds on sharks. Due to the unique predatory niche occupied by sevengill sharks in False Bay, the increased presence of these particular killer whales in False Bay could have profound impacts throughout the ecosystem.
The impact of children’s socioemotional development on parenting styles: the moderating effect of social withdrawal

ABSTRACT This study focused on associations between children’s socioemotional development (prosocial behaviour, internalizing and externalizing problems) and parenting styles (affection, behavioural control, and psychological control), and the moderating role of children’s social withdrawal (as a temperamental characteristic) in these associations. Children’s socioemotional development (n = 314) were rated by teachers at three-time points (grades 1–3). Parents completed questionnaires measuring their parenting styles at the same three-time points. The level of social withdrawal was obtained at the end of kindergarten from teachers’ reports. Panel analysis showed that prosocial behaviour was associated with a higher level of affection, while externalizing problems were associated with a higher level of behavioural control. Among children with a high level of social withdrawal, prosocial behaviour predicted high maternal psychological control, while internalizing problems predicted high paternal psychological control. However, among children with a low level of social withdrawal, socioemotional development had no impact on parenting styles.
Safety profile of Irvingia gabonensis (Aubry-Lecomte ex O’Rorke) Baill. root bark extract: Acute and sub-acute toxicity studies in Wistar rats

Background: Irvingia gabonensis (Aubry-Lecomte ex O’Rorke) Baill. has been widely prescribed in African traditional medicine system for the management of hernia, yellow fever, gastrointestinal, liver conditions and sterility, as well as for some other ethno-medicinal uses. Aim: The study was to investigate the safety margins of ethanol extract of I. gabonensis root barks (EEIGRB) in Wistar rats. Setting: This research is a toxicology investigation. Methods: The acute and sub-acute toxicity studies conducted on the EEIGRB, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) methods. Results: The acute toxicity studies revealed that LD 50 was > 5000 mg/kg. In the sub-acute study, significant increase in body weights ( p 0.05) changes in the haematological, hepatic and renal indices except for significant reduction ( p < 0.05) in serum concentrations of sodium and creatinine at 400 mg/kg of EEIGRB compared with control group. Histopathological examination of the liver and kidney revealed that at 200 mg/kg, there was a slight hepatic necrosis in the liver and a slight tubular necrosis in the kidney, whereas at 400 mg/kg, there was a moderate foci necrosis in the liver and a slight glomerular distortion occurred in the kidney. Conclusion: The results indicate that EEIGRB was found to be practically safe after acute administration, and there were histomorphological alterations in the liver and kidney after prolonged administration in the sub-acute dosages.
