Non-invasive hepatic fat quantification: Can multi-echo Dixon help?
Authors: Gupta Akarshi , Dixit Rashmi , Prakash Anjali
Published: May 2024

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multi-echo Dixon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in hepatic fat quantification, in comparison with that of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), on 3.0-T MRI. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five adults with no known liver disease underwent MRI in a 3.0-T scanner for determination of the hepatic fat fraction, with two techniques: multi-echo Dixon, in a manually drawn region of interest (ROI) and in the entire liver parenchyma (automated segmentation); and MRS. The diagnostic accuracy and cutoff value for multi-echo Dixon were determined, with MRS being used as the reference standard. Results: The mean fat fraction obtained by multi-echo Dixon in the manually drawn ROI and in the entire liver was 5.2 ± 5.8% and 6.6 ± 5.2%, respectively, whereas the mean hepatic fat fraction obtained by MRS was 5.7 ± 6.4%. A very strong positive correlation and good agreement were observed between MRS and multi-echo Dixon, for the ROI (r = 0.988, r2 = 0.978, p < 0.001) and for the entire liver parenchyma (r = 0.960, r2 = 0.922, p < 0.001). A moderate positive correlation was observed between the hepatic fat fraction and body mass index of the participants, regardless of the fat estimation technique employed. Conclusion: For hepatic fat quantification, multi-echo Dixon MRI demonstrated a very strong positive correlation and good agreement with MRS (often considered the gold-standard noninvasive technique). Because multi-echo Dixon MRI is more readily available than is MRS, it can be used as a rapid tool for hepatic fat quantification, especially when the hepatic fat distribution is not homogeneous.

Published: May 2024

Abstract Objective: To study the effect of antenatal corticosteroid administration on fetal hemodynamics using longitudinal analysis of Doppler waveforms in the umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study that included 30 fetuses at risk for preterm birth. Twenty-eight pregnant women were treated with betamethasone for fetal lung maturation. Doppler examinations of the UA and MCA were performed once before and three or eight times after corticosteroid administration. We used a Bayesian hierarchical linear model. Reference ranges were constructed, and associations between variables (gestational age and pre-eclampsia) were tested. Results: The mean maternal age, gestational age at betamethasone administration, and gestational age at delivery were 32.6 ± 5.89 years, 30.2 ± 2.59 weeks, and 32.9 ± 3.42 weeks, respectively. On UA Doppler, there was a significant decrease in the pulsatility index (PI) after corticosteroid administration, with a mean of 0.1147 (credibility interval: 0.03687-0.191) in three observations and a median of 0.1437 (credibility interval: 0.02509-0.2627) in eight observations. However, there was no significant change in the Doppler MCA PI, regardless of gestational age and the presence or absence of pre-eclampsia. Conclusion: Although antenatal corticosteroid administration induced a significant decrease in the Doppler UA PI, we observed no change in the cerebral vasculature.

ABSTRACT Introduction: the simulation in minimally invasive surgery is fundamental for surgeon in training to learning and training skills, especially in pediatrics, due to the particularities, reduced spaces, specific and rare procedures. The aim of this study was to propose an adapted series of exercises and to simply evaluate the performance of pediatric surgery residents in the initial implementation of a training program. Method: seven basic skills exercises in video surgery, based on series and programs already published and using low-cost materials, were performed by six residents in 2 moments, with an interval of 15 days and evaluated by simple instrument. Results: there was no difficulty with models. Considering the individual averages of the seven exercises together in the two moments, five of the six residents increased the score in the second moment. The average score per exercise increased in five of the seven tasks. Despite the small number of participants and repetition, it has already been possible to observe a trend of better performance with decreased time of all residents after a single repetition. All considered the exercises capable of training essential skills of the specialty, with simple and inexpensive materials. Conclusion: given the challenges of simulated training in pediatric video surgery, it is known the benefit of a continuous program, with exercises that can simulate real situations. A pre-established schedule, more participants and repetitions, supervision of experienced surgeons and validated instruments are fundamental to evaluate surgeons in training and show statistical benefits of simulated exercises in this series.

The role of visual language in China’s new era: beyond cultural communication
Authors: Chen Xiaoren
Published: May 2024

Abstract: In the past few decades, interdisciplinary research has become a trend. Visual language and cultural thinking are two different concepts, each with its own unique research methods and theoretical frameworks. However, researchers are increasingly realizing that combining visual language and cultural thinking can provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding and analysis. The significance of this research is to broaden people’s understanding of visual language and cultural thinking. Through interdisciplinary exploration, the cultural connotations and meanings behind images can be deeply explored to reveal the differences and commonalities among different cultures, which helps deepen people’s awareness of cultural diversity and promote exchanges and understanding among different cultures. It can be used as a resource for social development and it can have a significant impact on economic development, resulting in a new cultural thinking. At the same time, it is also a core factor of technological power. As an element and symbol of soft culture, language can play a role in public diplomacy and participate in cultural thinking and competition. As human society enters the era of Internet media, people’s language equipment and language life have made significant progress.

ABSTRACT Objective This study evaluated the perception of health locus of control, sports engagement, and emotional eating during quarantine of individuals who regularly exercised before the quarantine. Methods Individuals who regularly attended the gym before the quarantine period were enrolled in the study. The questionnaire included the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale-A, Sport Engagement Scale, and Emotional Eating Scale, which was applied online to 513 gym members. Results 74.9% of participants adopted the perception of internal health locus of control. Emotional eating scores were higher in participants who did not exercise during the quarantine when compared to those who did and in those adopting the perception of chance health locus of control compared to participants adopting the perception of internal health locus of control. Participants who adopted the perception of internal health locus of control compared to the those who adopted the perception of chance or powerful others health locus of control had higher sports engagement (p<0.05). Individuals with a high BMI, who did not have a perception of internal health locus of control and who did not exercise during the quarantine were prone to emotional eating. Conclusion In conclusion, in those individuals who regularly went to gym before the quarantine, continuing to exercise during the quarantine may have provided an advantage in preventing emotional eating, and we also showed that sports engagement supported the continuation of exercise during the quarantine period. In addition, we determined that individuals with a high body mass index, who do not have a perception of internal health locus of control and who did not exercise during the quarantine were prone to emotional eating.

Authors: CERVI FERNANDA , CHRISTOPOULOS TANIA PEREIRA
Published: May 2024

Resumo As lógicas institucionais representam os sistemas de valores e crenças que orientam a ação de indivíduos ou organizações. Este estudo tem por objetivo identificar as dinâmicas de interações das lógicas que moldam as práticas de sustentabilidade nas organizações. A sistematização das diferentes categorias de interações entre lógicas possibilita analisar como a sustentabilidade pode ser incorporada nas organizações. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com uma abordagem qualitativa, por meio de revisão sistemática e com uma análise temática para síntese e interpretação dos resultados. Observou-se que, com a interpretação das diferentes lógicas, desenvolvem-se as inter-relações de dominância, concorrência, coexistência ou hibridismo, as quais foram sistematizadas em categorias para analisar os processos de mudança para desenvolvimento da sustentabilidade nas organizações. Conclui-se que a aplicação das lógicas institucionais no campo da sustentabilidade avança além da perspectiva de desempenho ambiental, pois as categorias analíticas identificadas possibilitam compreender os processos de mudança para incorporar a sustentabilidade nas organizações. Na gestão das organizações, as lógicas institucionais permitem a elaboração de quadros para que os atores consigam criar uma linguagem comum para equacionar lógicas contraditórias e um valor compartilhado para as partes interessadas, além da própria organização.
Dynamics of institutional sustainability logics in organizations: a systematic literature review
Authors: CERVI FERNANDA , CHRISTOPOULOS TANIA PEREIRA
Published: May 2024

Abstract Institutional logic represents the systems of values and beliefs that guide the actions of individuals or organizations. This study aims to identify the dynamics of interactions of the logic that guides sustainability practices in organizations. Systematizing the different categories of interactions among logics makes it possible to analyze how sustainability can be incorporated into organizations. The research was developed from a qualitative approach through a systematic review and thematic analysis to synthesize and interpret results. From the interpretation of different logics, it was observed that the interrelationships of dominance, competition, coexistence, or hybridity are developed, which were systematized into categories to analyze the processes of change for the development of sustainability in organizations. It is concluded that applying institutional logic in the field of sustainability goes beyond the perspective of environmental performance, as the analytical categories identified make it possible to understand the processes that promote change to incorporate sustainability in organizations. In managing organizations, institutional logic allows the elaboration of frameworks so that the actors can create a common language to equate contradictory logic and create shared value for the interested parties and the organization itself.

Women in high leadership positions at the Central Bank of Brazil
Authors: SOUZA MARIANE SANTIAGO DE , SILVA ANDRÉ LUIS
Published: May 2024

Abstract This research identifies the professional challenges faced by women who have risen to high leadership positions at the Central Bank of Brazil. It is an exploratory qualitative research whose empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 (thirteen) women who occupy high leadership positions in the bank. The data set was interpreted with the aid of the thematic categorization technique. The results indicate a series of manifestations of gender stereotypes in the institution, which contribute to configuring it as a potentially embarrassing, uncomfortable, and sometimes discouraging environment for women’s careers. Since there are reports that these manifestations occurred within the bank’s formal selection processes, this practice seems to be, at some level, rooted in the institution’s organizational culture. This research contributes to the understanding that the glass ceiling concept seems too simple to encompass all the nuances that interfere with the career path of women in the top leadership of public service. Finally, this article articulates reflections on the various barriers encountered by women who, despite the challenges encountered in a kind of professional labyrinth, managed to occupy high leadership positions in a Brazilian public institution.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT | Few studies have investigated the mobility of preschool age children with Down syndrome (DS). This study aimed to compare the mobility of preschool age children with and without DS and to verify if cognitive function and gait acquisition age may explain mobility outcomes. This was an exploratory cross-sectional study involving 38 children: 19 in the DS group and 19 in the typical development (TD) group. The 10-meter walk test and the modified Timed Up and Go (mTUG) test were used to evaluate mobility. The explanatory factors were the cognitive function screening test score and the age of gait acquisition. Stepwise multiple linear regression models were used. The children in the DS group had slower gait speed (p=0.0001) and took longer to complete the mTUG test (p=0.0001). The cognitive function screening test score and age of gait acquisition explained the variability in gait speed (R 2 =0.52; p=0.0001) and the variability in the time to complete the mTUG test (R 2 =0.68; p=0.0001). Children with DS showed a poorer mobility when compared to the children in the TD group. The outcomes of mobility in this age group were partially explained by the age of gait acquisition and the cognitive function screening test score.

RESUMO | Poucos estudos investigaram a mobilidade de pré-escolares com síndrome de Down (SD). Dessa forma, os objetivos desta pesquisa foram comparar a mobilidade de pré-escolares com e sem SD, bem como verificar se a função cognitiva e a idade de aquisição da marcha podem explicar os desfechos de mobilidade. Estudo transversal exploratório com 38 crianças: 19 do grupo SD e 19 do grupo desenvolvimento típico (DT). O teste de caminhada de 10 metros e o timed up and go modificado (mTUG) foram utilizados para avaliar a mobilidade. Os fatores exploratórios foram: a pontuação da triagem da função cognitiva e a idade de aquisição da marcha. Foram usados modelos de regressão linear múltipla stepwise . As crianças do grupo SD apresentaram menor velocidade de marcha (p=0,0001) e necessitaram de mais tempo para completar o mTUG (p=0,0001). A pontuação da triagem da função cognitiva e a idade de aquisição da marcha explicaram a variabilidade na velocidade da marcha (R 2 =0,52; p=0,0001) e o tempo para completar o teste mTUG (R 2 =0,68; p=0,0001). Crianças com SD apresentaram pior capacidade de mobilidade quando comparadas às com DT. Os desfechos de mobilidade nessa faixa etária foram parcialmente explicados pela idade de aquisição da marcha e pelo escore da triagem da função cognitiva.
Impacts of Land Use and Land Cover Change on Ecosystem Service Values in the Eastern Amazon
Authors: Pereira Fabiana da Silva , Fernandes Danilo Araújo , Vieira Ima Célia Guimarães
Published: May 2024

Abstract Since the publication of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report, the concept of ecosystem services has gained visibility around the world, as many of these services are seen as essential for human well-being and their activities, and represent, in addition, an opportunity for financial support for conservation strategies of ecosystems under threat. In this context, this work aims to estimate the monetary values associated with ecosystem services and the losses linked to LULC change in the period of 1985-2021 in the Gurupi river basin, in one of the most deforested regions of the Brazilian Amazon. The results show that the decrease in forest areas caused a loss of monetary value of ecosystem services of US$ 1961 million. The net gain in the analyzed period derived mainly from the increase in agricultural areas devoted to soybean cultivation, with a reduction in areas devoted to other food crops, which may represent a risk to food security in the region.

ABSTRACT Euterpe precatória Mart. (açaí-do-amazonas) and Euterpe oleracea Mart. (açaí-do-pará) are palm trees of socioeconomic importance to Brazil, and fruit demand has increased due to its nutritional characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of global climate change on the current geographic distribution of E. precatória and E. oleracea and in future climate scenarios using the ecological niche modeling in the scope of Brazilian territories. The modelings used 28 environmental variables, including climatic and edaphic data. The current distribution was verified for the reference period (2009-2019) and future projections were evaluated in two scenarios (Shared Socioeconomic Pathways - SSP): SSP 245 (less pessimistic) and SSP 585 (more pessimistic), in the time interval of 2061-2080. All algorithms presented satisfactory evaluation indexes. Euterpe precatória has a predominant geographic distribution in the Amazon domain, while E. oleracea has potential occurrence in three Brazilian phytogeographic domains: Amazon, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Euterpe oleracea showed to be more sensitive to climate change in both scenarios, while E. precatoria was more resilient up to a certain level of temperature increase (SSP 245).

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT The aim of the present article is to rebuild picturebooks’ identity as polyphonic cultural objects based on a brief historical trajectory. Dialogue established between text and reader in contemporary picturebook’s production is broadened by the presence of different semiosis that allow multiple voices to be heard, since they act as meaning enhancers. The Bakhtinian concept of polyphony is herein held at the picturebook reflections scope to set contrast in children’s literature, which has a moralizing nature and is substantiated from a monological perspective. The books by Angela Lago, who is a representative of the Brazilian children’s literature, are herein analyzed to disclose multimodal aspects found in this cultural object (book). In conclusion, picturebooks open a window of possibilities for open minded and creative readings, as well as for different readers, due to their polysemic and polyphonic nature.
Analysis on the Children’s Literature Genres Abecedarium and Limerick: The Picture Books by Edward Gorey
Authors: Thomazine Angelica Micoanski
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT This paper aims to analyze two different genres, an abecedarium and a limerick, which are common in Children’s Literature. The selected exemplars, The Gashlycrumb Tinies and A Limerick, were written by Edward Gorey. This analysis aims to identify stylistic, thematic, and rhetorical aspects in the exemplars, both in the written text and in the illustrations, through exploratory documental research and under the perspective of multimodality. As a result, traditional aspects of the genres are present in both the texts, such as the rhetorical and structural organization; while the theme is distinct because it is more tragical. However, balance between form and content in the books distances the reader and relieves the tension regarding the theme. Finally, the illustrations tell a story even when isolated from the verbal text, but they are complementary when verbal and non-verbal texts are seen as unit.
“O Feminismo Finalmente Venceu” [Feminism Finally Won]: Misogynistic and Antifeminist Metapragmatics Disguised as Freedom of Expression
Authors: Albuquerque Rodrigo , Alves Suzy de Castro
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT In this research,1 we aim to analyze how misogyny establishes itself in an interaction on X (formerly Twitter) to legitimize hate speech, under the argument of opinion defense. Theoretically, in light of Interactional Sociolinguistics and Pragmatics, we conceive that impoliteness strategies contribute to the construction of linguistic-discursive violence scenarios in online-mediated interactions, as they both reduce interlocutive distance and generate sexist, misogynistic, patriarchal, and antifeminist metapragmatics. Methodologically, we adopted a qualitative approach to analyze an interaction on X based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria proposed in this study, using the netnographic method. Analytically, we observed that interlocutors C, E, and F frequently used impoliteness strategies in constructing opinion-based discourses to attack feminism and legitimize hate speech.
O livro ilustrado para crianças como objeto cultural polifônico
Authors: Amaral Mariana Parreira Lara do , Silva Hilda Aparecida Linhares da , Baptista Mônica Correia
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo recuperar, por meio de uma breve trajetória histórica, a constituição da identidade do livro ilustrado como objeto cultural polifônico. Na produção contemporânea do livro ilustrado, o diálogo que se estabelece entre texto e leitor é ampliado pela presença de diferentes semioses por meio das quais múltiplas vozes se fazem ouvir e atuam como potencializadoras de sentidos. O conceito bakhtiniano de polifonia é apropriado, neste artigo, no âmbito das reflexões sobre o livro ilustrado, para estabelecer uma contraposição a um tipo de literatura infantil de caráter moralizante e, por conseguinte, pautada numa perspectiva monológica. Para exemplificar os aspectos multimodais presentes nesse objeto cultural, analisam-se obras da autora Angela Lago, expoente da literatura infantil brasileira. Conclui-se que o livro ilustrado, por seu caráter polissêmico e polifônico, cria inúmeras possibilidades de leituras abertas e criativas para diferentes leitores.

RESUMO Este estudo parte de dados estatísticos sobre a leitura na vida de jovens entre 11 e 17 anos. Reflete-se sobre como (re)pensar a formação de leitores a partir de uma compreensão sobre o que é ler literatura no século XXI. Discute-se a mudança de suporte da leitura do livro à tela, não sob a perspectiva excludente ou com a intenção de defender um modo de acesso como melhor do que outro, pauta-se a importância de mediar a leitura de modo aberto aos diferentes suportes e formas que as tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação têm oferecido. Apresentam-se reflexões para conceituar literatura no século XXI para em seguida apresentar alguns exemplos de como a literatura converge do texto escrito para outras mídias e vice-versa, o que faz pensar que os jovens estão lendo de diferentes formas e isso pode ser melhor aproveitado no processo de formação de leitores literários.
Sobre as ciências humanas: diálogos entre Ernst Cassirer e Mikhail Bakhtin
Authors: Kemiac Ludmila
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Muitos estudos, visando analisar as raízes filosóficas das ideias do chamado “Círculo de Bakhtin”, têm mostrado algumas convergências entre o pensamento do filósofo alemão Ernst Cassirer e as ideias delineadas pelos autores do Círculo. Sendo assim, procuramos, neste artigo, comparar as teorizações de Cassirer sobre as “ciências culturais” com as reflexões tecidas por Bakhtin sobre essas mesmas ciências. Apontamos, ao longo do artigo, semelhanças e diferenças entre as discussões apresentadas pelos dois autores. Destacamos uma nítida semelhança nos modos como os autores (Cassirer e Bakhtin) abordam o objeto das ciências humanas em contraposição ao objeto das ciências naturais, a partir da ideia de “personificação” e “coisificação” (Bakhtin) e conhecimento do “outro” e conhecimento da “coisa” (Cassirer). Concluímos que essa semelhança seria decorrente da leitura que ambos os autores teriam feito das obras de Scheler, Dilthey e Rickert.

Authors: Martins Camila Dantas , Bicalho Carine Vieira , Furlan Renata Maria Moreira , Friche Amélia Augusta de Lima , Motta Andréa Rodrigues
Published: May 2024

RESUMO O presente estudo tem por objetivo descrever uma experiência de promoção, prevenção e apoio ao aleitamento materno desenvolvida por profissionais de uma unidade básica de saúde. Trata-se de um ambulatório de amamentação, implementado em um centro de saúde, em Belo Horizonte, em agosto de 2019. O ambulatório foi instituído a partir da percepção da equipe da unidade de que muitas mães tinham dificuldade com o processo de amamentação, no entanto, em função da sobrecarga de trabalho desta equipe, esta assistência não ocorria em tempo hábil, resultando no desmame precoce. Inicialmente realizou-se uma reunião para sensibilização da equipe sobre os indicadores de aleitamento materno da unidade. A partir desse conhecimento foi proposta a implementação de um ambulatório de amamentação, destinado não apenas às puérperas com dificuldade no manejo do aleitamento materno, mas à todas da área de abrangência daquela Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS). Para captação das puérperas, foi estabelecido um fluxo, por meio do qual ficou estabelecido que todas as puérperas que trouxessem seus filhos para realização do teste do pezinho na unidade, seriam encaminhadas ao ambulatório para a realização deste atendimento. Com a melhora da assistência, as usuárias da unidade básica de saúde passaram a amamentar por mais tempo, o que refletiu na melhora dos indicadores da unidade.

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare the acoustic measurements of Cepstral Peak Prominence Smoothed (CPPS) and Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) of children with normal and altered voices, to relationship with auditory-perceptual judgment (APJ) and to establish cut-off points. Methods Vocal recordings of the sustained vowel and number counting tasks of 185 children were selected from a database and submitted to acoustic analysis with extraction of CPPS and AVQI measurements, and to APJ. The APJ was performed individually for each task, classified as normal or altered, and for the tasks together defining whether the child would pass or fail in a situation of vocal screening. Results Children with altered APJ and who failed the screening had lower CPPS values and higher AVQI values, than those with normal APJ and who passed the screening. The APJ of the sustained vowel task was related to CPPS and AVQI, and APJ of the number counting task was related only to AVQI and CPPS numbers. The cut-off points that differentiate children with and without vocal deviation are 14.07 for the vowel CPPS, 7.62 for the CPPS numbers and 2.01 for the AVQI. Conclusion Children with altered voices, have higher AVQI values and lower CPPS values, when detected in children with voices within the normal range. The acoustic measurements were related to the auditory perceptual judgment of vocal quality in the sustained vowel task, however, the number counting task was related only to the AVQI and CPPS. The cut-off points that differentiate children with and without vocal deviation are 14.07 for the CPPS vowel, 7.62 for the CPPS numbers and 2.01 for the AVQI. The three measures were similar in identifying voices without deviation and dysphonic voices.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a sensação de dor e amplitude dos movimentos mandibulares de indivíduos adultos com disfunção temporomandibular, antes e após aplicação da bandagem elástica por 24 horas. Método Trata-se de um ensaio clínico randomizado duplo-cego, do qual participaram 22 sujeitos adultos com disfunção temporomandibular, alocados aleatoriamente em dois grupos, sendo grupo A composto por 10 mulheres e um homem (média de idade de 28,2±8,3 anos) e grupo B por nove mulheres e dois homens (média de idade de 26,2±3,9 anos). Todos os participantes foram submetidos à aplicação do Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). Foi realizada a avaliação do limiar da dor, com uso de um algômetro, para aplicação da pressão no masseter e temporal e medição dos movimentos mandibulares, com paquímetro. O grupo A foi submetido à aplicação da bandagem sobre o músculo masseter com estiramento de 40% e o grupo B sem estiramento. A colagem da bandagem foi realizada, com corte em “I”, com ponto fixo sobre a inserção e ponto móvel sobre a origem do músculo masseter. Os participantes permaneceram com a bandagem por 24 horas e foram reavaliados. Resultados Houve alívio da dor no grupo A na articulação temporomandibular à direita e na origem do masseter à esquerda. O grupo B apresentou redução da dor em região de temporal anterior à esquerda. Não foram encontradas diferenças nos movimentos mandibulares após intervenção, bem como não houve diferença na comparação entre os grupos. Conclusão O uso da bandagem sobre o masseter, por 24 horas, com estiramento, produziu alívio da dor na origem do masseter direito e na região da articulação temporomandibular direita e, sem estiramento, no temporal anterior esquerdo. Não houve diferença na amplitude de movimentos mandibulares.

ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the “Voice-related Experiences of Nonbinary Individuals” (VENI) to Brazilian Portuguese (BP). Methods Cross-cultural adaptation was performed based on the combined guidelines of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Translation Recommendations and the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN). The process included five stages: a) Translation of the instrument into BP by a translator specialized in the construct and a non-specialist, both native BP speakers and fluent in English; b) Synthesis of the two translations by consensus; c) Back-translation by a translator specialized in the construct and a non-specialist, both native English speakers and fluent in BP; d) Analysis by a committee of five speech-language pathologists voice specialist and the creation of the final version; e) Pre-testing with 21 individuals from the target population, conducted virtually. Results During the translation stage, there were disagreements regarding the title, instructions, response key, and 15 items. In the back-translation stage, there were discrepancies in the format of 12 items and the content of four items. The expert committee's analysis led to changes in the title, instructions, one option in the response key, and eight items to meet the equivalence criteria. In the pre-test, a significantly higher proportion of usual responses to the instrument was observed when compared to the non-applicable option; this is frequently observed in instrument adaptations. Conclusion The cross-cultural adaptation of VENI into Brazilian Portuguese was successful, resulting in the “Experiências relacionadas à Voz de Pessoas Não Binárias - VENI-Br” version.

Abstract Purpose To present the content and response process validity evidence of the Speaking in Public Coping of Scale (ECOFAP). Methods A methodological study to develop and validate the instrument. It followed the instrument development method with theoretical, empirical, and analytical procedures, based on the validity criteria of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (SEPT). The process of obtaining content validity evidence had two stages: 1) conceptual definition of the construct, based on theoretical precepts of speaking in public and the Motivational Theory of Coping (MTC); 2) developing items and response keys, structuring the instrument, assessment by a committee with 10 specialists, restructuring scale items, and developing the ECOFAP pilot version. Item representativity was analyzed through the item content validity index. The response process was conducted in a single stage with a convenience sample of 30 people with and without difficulties speaking in public, from the campus of a Brazilian university, belonging to various social and professional strata. In this process, the respondents’ verbal and nonverbal reactions were qualitatively analyzed. Results The initial version of ECOFAP, consisting of 46 items, was evaluated by judges and later reformulated, resulting in a second version with 60 items. This second version was again submitted for expert analysis, and the content validity index per item was calculated. 18 items were excluded, resulting in a third version of 42 items. The validity evidence based on the response processes of the 42-item version was applied to a sample of 30 individuals, resulting in the rewriting of one item and the inclusion of six more items, resulting in the pilot version of ECOFAP with 48 items. Conclusion ECOFAP pilot version has items with well-structured semantics and syntactic, representing strategies to cope with speaking in public.

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar os efeitos imediatos da fotobiomodulação na produção do fluxo salivar e a correlação dos dados demográficos, antropométricos e de uso de medicamentos. Método Participaram do estudo 100 indivíduos saudáveis, com idade entre 18 e 76 anos (média 27,2 anos), divididos de forma randomizada em grupo experimental e grupo placebo. Foram realizadas as avaliações das medidas antropométricas, autopercepção da produção de saliva e a sialometria. Na sequência, realizou-se a irradiação do LASER no comprimento de onda infravermelho (808 nanômetros) com 100 miliwatts (mw) de potência em cinco pontos intraorais: nas glândulas sublingual e bilateralmente nas submandibulares e parótidas, nas doses 9, 18 e 24 joules (J). A sialometria foi repetida após cada aplicação. O grupo controle recebeu os mesmos procedimentos com equipamento placebo. Resultados Houve associação estatística na autopercepção de redução da saliva no grupo experimental para a dose de 24J e na sialometria e na redução do fluxo salivar para as doses 18J e 24J e aumento para 9J, em ambos os grupos. Não houve associação quando comparado entre os grupos experimental e placebo. A análise de regressão multinomial múltipla revelou que a redução ou o aumento do fluxo salivar independe das variáveis demográficas, antropométricas e uso de medicamentos. Conclusão A ação bioinibitória da fotobiomodulação sobre as glândulas salivares saudáveis ocorreu em dose de 18J e 24J, já ação bioestimulante na dose 9J, independe das variáveis demográficas, antropométricas e uso de medicamentos. A autopercepção da redução do fluxo salivar ocorreu em 24J.
