Authors: Teixeira Ney Jefferson Pereira , Rogério Marcos Cláudio Pinheiro , Alves Arnaud Azevêdo , Moreira Filho Miguel Arcanjo
Published: October 2024

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a degradabilidade ruminal da matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB) e fibra em detergente neutro (FDN) de espécies forrageiras selecionadas por ovinos em área de Caatinga ao longo do ano. A pesquisa foi motivada pela necessidade de melhoria do manejo nutricional dos ovinos na região semiárida. Para isso, foram estimadas os parâmetros de degradação in situ e ajustadas os modelos de degradação para determinar degradabilidade potencial (DP) e efetiva (DE)  do MS, PB e FDN das espécies durante os períodos chuvoso, de transição e seco. As espécies selecionadas incluíram Alternanthera brasiliana, Arachis dardani , Cynodon dactylon e Stylosanthes humilis , entre outras. Amostras foram incubadas no rúmen de ovinos fistulados por 6, 24, 48 e 96 horas. Os resultados apresentaram variações sazonais significativas na qualidade nutricional das forrageiras, influenciadas pelas condições climáticas da Caatinga. As fraççoes solúvel (a), potencialmente degradável (b), bem como a taxa de degradação de b (c) apresentaram variações entre as espécies e períodos. No período chuvoso, a degrabilidade do MS e PB foi maior, com a DP do MS atingindo até 71% após 96 horas de incubação. As espécies Arachis dardani e Wissadula rostrata destacaram-se pela alta degradabilidade proteica, enquanto Stylosanthes humilis apresentou maior fração degradável de FDN (75,10%). O estudo conclui que a variação sazonal na degradabilidade das forrageiras da Caatinga tem implicações importantes para o manejo nutricional dos ovinos, com potencial superior às forragens tropicais, especialmente no período chuvoso. Recomenda-se a suplementação proteica no período seco.

As atividades antropogênicas têm comprometido significativamente as capacidades regenerativas e a estabilidade dos sistemas naturais, resultando em alterações nos ciclos biogeoquímicos, redução da biodiversidade e mudanças nos padrões climáticos globais. Unidades de conservação próximas a grandes centros urbanos, como o Parque Estadual Dois Irmãos em Recife-PE, estão sob constante pressão antrópica e podem sofrer impactos ambientais. Neste estudo objetivou-se, investigar mudanças na cobertura do solo ao longo do tempo, foram utilizadas técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e geoprocessamento para análise de imagens de satélite. Abordou-se três métodos de classificação de imagem: dois utilizando o Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG) Google Earth Engine (GEE), com os algoritmos Random Forest e CART, e um utilizando a plataforma MapBiomas, que possui uma classificação complexa de imagens em escala nacional. Os resultados indicam mudanças significativas na composição florestal nos últimos anos, um aumento gradual da cobertura florestal, passando de 362,26 hectares (ha) em 1990 para 405,65 ha em 2020. A expansão da vegetação aponta para uma recuperação ambiental significativa, mesmo diante da crescente pressão urbana observada nas bordas do parque. Além disso, as áreas agropecuárias sofreram uma redução significativa ao longo do período, passando de 181,61 ha em 1990 para 111,92 ha em 2020. No entanto, a área urbana também apresentou crescimento ao longo do tempo, ocupando espaços de vegetação rasteira ou não florestal. Por fim, os métodos de geoprocessamento mostraram-se viáveis e consistentes entre si, além de serem úteis no monitoramento de áreas de preservação ambiental.

Published: October 2024

It is in this light that the researcher provides preliminary explanations on the sound, formation and meaning of Ngwa toponyms (place names) and Ngwa anthroponyms (personal names), as they occur in the Ngwa dialect of the Igbo Language. The primary means of data collection adopted in this study is the oral interviews of Key Informants (indigenous Ngwa people). Secondarily, data were collected from already existing literature on the subject matter. Data gotten are analyzed linguistically, using the basic provisions of phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Phonologically, the study establishes that the phonological nuances of aspiration, which is a characteristic feature of the Ngwa Igbo is also actively represented in their toponyms and anthroponyms. Other generative phonological processes such as assimilation, deletion and elision were shown to exist in the Ngwa names. Morpho-syntactically, the study shows that Ngwa toponyms and anthroponyms are associative constructions of two or more nominals which bear the semantics of the names. The study concludes that Ngwa anthroponyms and toponyms, properly analysed, bear in them the history, features and culture of the Ngwa people, and is a snippet into the past life of the Ngwa people.

Published: October 2024

Global climate change has most significantly affected the Polar Regions. The increase in air temperature has stimulated the melting of glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic, which has contributed to changes in the formation of water and sediment runoff. However, there are very few quantitative estimates of the sediment redistribution in the periglacial catchments of the Polar Regions. Specific features of water and sediment runoff were studied within the catchment area of the Korabelnyj Stream located on the Fildes Peninsula in Antarctica near the Bellingshausen Ice Dome. The main aim of the study was to investigate the conditions for the formation of water and sediment runoff and to identify the proportional contribution of washout and erosion material coming from the periglacial and maritime parts of the catchment area to the sediment runoff of the stream. A set of methods and approaches, including: a) estimates of the sediment flow connectivity index; b) fingerprinting technique; c) hydrometeorological observations; d) large-scale geomorphological survey and others, was ap[1]plied to identify the conditions for the formation of surface runoff and washout, the mechanisms of sediment redistribution in various parts of the fluvial network and to quantify the proportional contribution of two main sediment sources to the sediment runoff of the stream. A fraction with a particle size of ≤63 μm was used for geochemical and spectrometric analyzes of soils and sediments. In total, the content of 34 elements was analyzed, i.e. 6 radioisotopes and 28 stable elements. It has been established that despite the significant differences in the relief of the near-glacial and maritime parts of the catchment area, the indices of sediment connectivity are quite close and amount to –1,79 and –1,35, respectively. A significant part of the material transported by temporary streams from the slopes of the catchment area is redeposited in relief depressions partially occupied by water bodies. The main volume of sediments, which is at least 60–66% of the total sediment runoff in the outlet section of the Korabelnyj Stream, comes from the periglacial part of the catchment area. This is due to the increased water discharge relative to the non-glacial part of the catchment area, which results from the melting of snow and ice accumulated on the ice dome, the high erosion of moraine deposits unprotected by vegetation, and the presence of an ice core in moraines, which prevents water filtration.

Background. Postural body stability and balance are the people’s basic skills enabling functioning in everyday life. Such skills are also useful in multiple sport disciplines. Their most important role, however is played in gymnastics related sports with multiple difficult elements and balance positions.Material and methods. 30 participants aged 10-13 years were selected for the study. 15 subjects regularly training aerobatic gymnastics and their 15 non training peers were also selected. The sample included 16 girls and 14 boys participated in the study. The selection was not random, it was the so-called convenience sampling. Y-Balance Test kit was used for the measurement of dynamic balance. Basic anthropometric measurements were taken. Prior to the actual attempt, each participant could perform a training trial in order to get acquainted with the test. The participants had to perform 3 tests in each direction: anterior (ANT), posteromedial (PM) and posterolateral (PL) on each lower limb. The distribution normality was assessed using Shapiro-Wilk test. For the analysis of the results the parametric tests: t-Student, Pearson correlation test, Spearman’s Rank correlation test, Levine’s, arithmetic mean test ( ) and standard deviation (SD) were used. The significance threshold was accepted at p<0.05.Results. Statistical analysis did not show any significant differences between dynamic stability in regularly training participants and their non training peers. A significant negative correlation (-0.390) was noted between BMI indices and the results obtained from Y- Balance test.Conclusions. Dynamic balance in the studied gymnasts and the non-training individuals was at a similar level.

La orientación vocacional desempeñó un papel crucial en la toma de decisiones informadas por parte de los estudiantes respecto a su futuro académico y profesional, especialmente en el contexto del régimen Costa-Galápagos durante el año académico 2023-2024, donde se reconoció a 45,948 estudiantes por sus logros, con un 44% de ellos graduándose en educación técnica, resaltando así la importancia de esta modalidad. La orientación hacia la carrera de Técnico en Contabilidad resultó vital debido a la creciente demanda de profesionales en este campo, fundamental para la gestión financiera, el registro adecuado de transacciones y el cumplimiento de las obligaciones fiscales. El objetivo de la investigación fue desarrollar actividades de orientación contable para los estudiantes de décimo año de la Unidad Educativa Luis Enrique Morales Alfaro, con el fin de proporcionar una formación integral que facilitara su inserción laboral y contribuyera al crecimiento organizacional. La metodología empleada incluyó pretest, entrevistas a docentes y cuestionarios a estudiantes, adoptando un enfoque descriptivo y una metodología mixta que permitió identificar necesidades, diseñar una propuesta adecuada y evaluar su impacto. Los resultados evidenciaron que una adecuada orientación y preparación de los estudiantes en contabilidad mejora significativamente su transición al mercado laboral y responde a las demandas crecientes del sector.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar um levantamento bibliográfico e compreender qual a atuação da enfermagem no combate contra a violência obstétrica. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica integrativa de caráter descritivo e exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, onde foram selecionados 17 artigos em português, entre os anos de 2013 a 2023, pela biblioteca virtual em saúde (BVS). Foram incluídos os artigos que abordassem a temática, suas formas e consequências, artigos duplicados e artigos que fugissem do tema. Após a análise dos artigos foram identificadas 3 categorias que descrevem a atuação da enfermagem frente a violência obstétrica: a contribuição da educação continuada na enfermagem, abordando como a educação serve de pilar para a assistência humanizada e holística; o direito legal da parturiente, salientando quais são os direitos que os enfermeiros devem garantir a mulher no momento do parto; e a preservação da saúde física e mental da mulher,  colocando como uma das estratégias relevantes para o cuidado com a mulher durante o processo do pré-natal ao puerpério. Conclui-se que a educação continuada, o direito da mulher parturiente, sua saúde física e mental deve ser preservada para a ocorrência de uma assistência retificada, humanizada e ética; além de ressaltar que a equipe de enfermagem deve desempenhar seu papel na prevenção e combate à violência obstétrica; assegurando o bem-estar das parturientes, garantindo o respeito por seus direitos e promovendo uma assistência humanizada e holística durante o processo de parturição.

Published: October 2024

A profilaxia em ambiente cirúrgico é um conjunto de ações adotadas como forma de prevenção e controle para evitar danos ao paciente e equipe médica, sendo importante para que o procedimento cirúrgico ocorra dentro das normalidades, evitando contaminação ao paciente previamente exposto e diminuindo os riscos de acidentes de trabalho com a equipe médica. Protanto, o artigo identificou e relacionou os possíveis erros cometidos durante a antissepsia das mãos, uso de pijama privativo, avental cirúrgico, bem como falhas no uso dos equipamentos de proteção individual EPI’s (propés, gorro, touca, máscara, óculos de proteção). A presente investigação se orientou nas normas    das pesquisas bibliográficas sistemáticas de abordagem qualitativa e do tipo exploratória - descritiva, utilizado as bases de dados National Library of Medicine databases – the National Institutes of Health (PubMed), Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). As referências atualizadas evidenciaram os melhores métodos de paramentação cirúrgica, relatando a importância de sua constituição e os mecanismos de defesa para todos os indivíduos expostos em um ambiente vulnerável a microrganismos e patógenos invasores. Destacou-se o índice de inadequação na forma de utilização de gorros, máscaras, avental e luvas cirúrgicas. Além disso, inadequação na antissepsia cirúrgica de forma que os profissionais não cumprem com a técnica e o tempo preconizado expondo os profissionais e pacientes à patógenos desencadeadores de infecções. A falha no procedimento de antissepsia cirúrgica ocorre rotineiramente, sendo causados por falta de conhecimento da técnica pelos profissionais e pelo hábito rotineiro da equipe cirúrgica. Sendo assim, faz-se necessário revisar as técnicas corretas de paramentação cirúrgica.

Objetivou-se analisar as barreiras e os facilitadores na percepção de idosos participantes de programas de exercícios físicos domiciliares, através de uma revisão de narrativa. Como critérios de elegibilidade foram considerados os Conceitos População e Contexto do Joanna Briggs Institute, onde: a População foi caracterizada por pessoas com mais de 60 anos, o Conceito incluiu apenas estudos de abordagem qualitativa e o Contexto foi delimitado por estudos que apresentaram intervenções ou programas de exercícios físicos domiciliares. A busca de dados foi realizada na base de dados Pubmed em agosto de 2024. Foram encontrados inicialmente 324 artigos, dos quais 20 foram considerados para análise. Nos resultados, observou-se que as barreiras identificadas com maior frequência foram a falta de tempo e/ou interesses concorrentes, seguidos pelo medo, desinteresse ou crença na não necessidade de praticar exercícios. Consecutivamente, destacam-se, a dificuldade de utilização de materiais ou execução dos exercícios, bem como a interação social reduzida e as condições de saúde comprometidas. Quanto aos facilitadores mais identificados, a estrutura e flexibilidade dos programas foi seguida da percepção dos benefícios físicos e cognitivos. Posteriormente surgem os termos relacionados às ferramentas tecnológicas aplicadas nas intervenções, e o suporte ou recomendação de profissional de saúde, bem como o apoio de familiares e amigos. Os achados deste estudo não apenas oferecem insights sobre as percepções dos idosos em relação aos programas de exercícios físicos domiciliares, mas também identificam características importantes das intervenções propostas.

Published: October 2024

Introducción: El epignathus es el teratoma orofaringeo, cuyo pronóstico depende esencialmente de su resecabilidad y del cuidado neonatal. Cuando no se diagnostica prenatalmente, la mortalidad se acerca al 100 % al nacer, debido a la obstrucción de las vías respiratorias superiores. Objetivo: Describir el manejo de epignathus a través de la narración del manejo quirúrgico de un caso clínico, realizado en un hospital pediátrico en Quito. Presentación del caso: Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino recién nacido con el diagnóstico de epignathus, quien fue sometido a los 7 días de nacido a la resección completa del mismo. Discusión: La cirugía de resección tumoral es el tratamiento de elección en los pacientes con epignathus, este procedimiento debe ser completo, como fue el caso. Conclusiones: El epignathus es una afección potencialmente mortal en el momento del parto. El tratamiento definitivo consiste en la resección completa del tumor, como fue en el caso presentado; y posteriormente el manejo de las secuelas derivadas del epignathus, la mayoría de ellas debido al efecto de masa que produce durante el desarrollo; como pueden ser fisura palatina, micrognatia o discrepancia anteroposterior mandibulomaxilar.
