Authors: Quinta Hugo
Published: May 2023

RESUMO Este artigo analisa os trabalhos do movimento Economia e Humanismo na cidade de São Paulo, entre 1947 e 1966, por intermédio das ações do padre francês Lebret e do frei brasileiro Benevenuto, duas figuras relevantes para a consolidação desse movimento na capital Paulista. O texto é inaugurado com o delineamento dos principais movimentos do catolicismo brasileiro entre as décadas de 1920 e 1950 - contexto relevante para compreender a trajetória desses religiosos -, a primeira viagem do dominicano francês ao Brasil, o curso que ele ministrou na Escola Livre de Sociologia Política e sua atuação na fundação da SAGMACS. Depois é traçado um paralelo entre a Economia e Humanismo no Brasil e na França, em 1948 e 1949, quando o dominicano brasileiro participou de um estágio na sede do movimento e viajou por países europeus. Em seguida, avalia-se a atuação deles na SAGMACS e na equipe paulista de Economia e Humanismo durante os anos 1950, assim como as pesquisas contratadas por órgãos públicos, o I Congresso Internacional de Economia Humana e outras atividades em São Paulo. E a parte final do artigo analisa a dissolução da SAGMACS após o Golpe Civil-Militar de 1964 e a amizade entre Frei Benevenuto e Padre Lebret.

ABSTRACT. In Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, low levels of physical fitness (PF) and cognitive status are associated with high rates of depression. However, this condition can be improved through physical training. Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of multimodal exercise training (MET) on aerobic endurance, muscular strength, agility, dynamic balance, cognitive status, and depressive symptoms in men with mild-to-moderate AD. Methods: A total of 25 elderly men with a diagnosis of mild-to-moderate AD were randomly categorized into an MET or a control group. The subjects in the MET group participated in a 12-week, three sessions per week MET program that included resistance, balance, and aerobic exercises. While the participants in the control group did not perform any regular exercise training during this period. Patients’ cognitive status and depressive symptoms were assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination and the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) questionnaires. PF indicators such as aerobic endurance, muscular strength, agility, and dynamic balance, as well as cognitive status and depressive symptoms, were taken from all the subjects before and after MET. Results: The participants in the MET group improved handgrip, upper and lower body strength, agility, dynamic balance, and depressive symptoms (p<0.05). The intervention had no significant effect on aerobic endurance and cognitive status (p>0.05). Conclusions: MET is an effective strategy to improve muscular strength, agility, dynamic balance, and depressive symptoms in men with mild-to-moderate AD. It is recommended for AD patients to engage in this type of exercise to reduce AD complications.
Pilot validation of a verbal practical judgement assessment (VPJ) among community-dwelling older adults in Israel: the first step toward a national standard
Authors: Zilbershlag Yael
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT. Increased longevity and subsequent increase in older populations emphasize the importance of assisting older people to continue living in safe and residential situations for as long as possible. Judgement, an important aspect of cognition, and a predictor of function may become impaired and compromise safe living. Yet, judgement is difficult to assess, and few valid instruments are utilized in clinical settings that accurately evaluate judgement in older people. Objectives: This pilot study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and initiate the validation of the Hebrew version of the verbal practical judgement (VPJ) assessment among community-dwelling older people. Methods: A total of 50 older adults, aged over 65 years, living in the community in Israel, half of whom were independent (n=27, 54%), and the rest dependent participants in a day centre with some level of cognitive/functional decline, completed the VPJ evaluation and comparison assessments. Results: Positive and significant (p<0.05) relationships between VPJ and standard assessments were found, demonstrating convergent validity. By comparing VPJ scores between independent and dependent older adults, results also supported discriminant validity. Finally, a multiple hierarchical regression demonstrated a positive relationship between instrumental activities of daily living and judgement. Conclusions: This pilot study found the VPJ feasible, likely valid, and culturally adaptable to assess judgement in Israeli older adults. Assessing judgement will provide older adults and their families with essential information regarding function, cognition, and safety and will enable them to live/return home in accordance with their autonomy, safety, and well-being.
Normative data for highly educated older adults in phonemic and semantic fluency tests
Authors: Azevedo Julianna Pinto de , Almondes Katie Moraes de
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT. Verbal fluency tests are common instruments used in neuropsychological evaluation and screening for cognitive decline. Different studies have suggested normative data for these tests, but new studies that focus on different educational backgrounds are important due to the heterogeneity of the Brazilian population and the influence of educational level on verbal fluency tests. Objective: The present study aimed to provide normative data on verbal fluency tests for highly educated older adults in Brazil, as well as the influence of sex, age, and education on test performance. Methods: A total of 147 healthy volunteers (106 females and 41 males) with a mean age of 66.87 years (SD=4.52) and a minimum of 12 years of education were selected from the community and asked to perform three tests of phonemic verbal fluency (letters F, A, and S) and two tests of semantic verbal fluency (animals and fruits). Volunteers were categorized by educational level into two categories: “High School” (12 years of formal education) and “Higher Education” (over 12 years of formal education). Results: Normative data are presented in mean values and percentiles for all tests. The performance in animals, fruits, A, and S were associated with educational background. The performance in S was associated with sex. Conclusions: This study provides normative data appropriate for highly educated, healthy older adults in commonly used tests that evaluate executive functioning. The results endorse previous study findings on the influence of educational level on verbal fluency tests.
Executive function performance in middle-aged adults
Authors: Sharma Namrata , Shenoy Shweta
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT. Executive functions have been widely studied in the extreme of ages, but studies in middle-aged adults remain largely neglected. Education and gender are known to influence cognitive performance; however, their effect on executive function in middle-aged adults remains unclear. Objective: The study aimed to observe the effect of hierarchy of educational qualifications (graduate, postgraduate, and PhD) and gender on various executive function tests across middle-aged adults with or without comorbidity. Methods: A total of 66 middle-aged individuals volunteered for the study (mean age=48.45±5.45 years; 20 graduates, 28 postgraduates, and 18 PhD; 36 males and 30 females; 38 healthy adults and 28 adults with comorbidities). Each subject performed a test assessing short-term memory, spatial working memory, and multitasking abilities on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery with rest periods in no specific order of tests. Key parameters of cognitive tests were analyzed for differences in educational qualifications (ANOVA), gender (t-test), and the effect of comorbidity as a covariate (ANCOVA). Results: PhDs performed significantly better (p<0.05) in multitasking than graduates and had superior visuospatial working memory (fewer errors). Differences in simultaneous matching abilities, lower incongruence cost and multitasking cost were statistically significant in healthy females than in males. Conclusion: On considering adults with comorbidity, those with higher educational attainment retained the ability to multitask compared to their healthy counterparts, which was not seen in the group with lower educational attainment. Thus, higher educational attainment attenuated the influence of comorbidities and deterioration of executive functions in general in middle-aged adults.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT. Dementia is a neurological disorder that affects memory, thinking, orientation, and other important functions of the brain; telemedicine is a part of the healthcare delivery system involving diagnosis and consultation over telecommunications devices such as mobile phones and computers. In this review, we assessed the impact, accessibility, and possible improvements in telemedicine in dementia treatment. Regarding the use of telemedicine in the treatment, we evaluated its impact on the management of the disease (i.e., diagnosis and follow-up). We also evaluated studies on the current improvements and accessibility of telemedicine in dementia treatment. The review findings showed that it is effective in diagnosing patients, monitoring their progress during treatment, and providing caregiver support. However, studies have revealed a lack of accessibility and improvement in telemedicine among the elderly, particularly in West African countries. Finally, lasting solutions were provided to address the problems in the review permanently.
Tropes of Social Becoming Along a History of Circulation Within West Africa and From There to Latin America
Authors: Echeverri Zuluaga Jonathan
Published: May 2023

Abstract Since the turn of the 21st century, the circulation of people from West Africa in and out of the African continent has intensified, turning Latin America into an emergent destination and transit zone. Drawing both from scholarly works and fiction, this article reflects on tropes of social becoming within a history of West African human movement that precedes present day circulation. By tropes of social becoming, I mean narratives around people realizing aspirations, in which scholars, storytellers, literary persons, and the media bring it into existence. While some of the tropes this article addresses seem to stretch to pre-colonial times, others are the product of colonial rule, and yet others emerge in times of structural adjustment. These tropes offer an entry point to understanding how present circulations of Africans in West Africa and Latin America relate to continuity and change.
Migración, género y danza. Trayectorias de mujeres afrodescendientes en el norte de Chile
Authors: Araya Isabel
Published: May 2023

Resumen Esta investigación indaga en la dimensión corporal de la interseccionalidad entre mujeres migrantes. Para ello se consideran las trayectorias corporales de mujeres afrocolombianas en Arica, frontera norte de Chile donde se desarrolla además el movimiento afrochileno. En la última década, la llegada de población afrolatinoamericana y afrocaribeña al país suscita reacciones de racismo, discriminación y xenofobia. A su vez, hace dos décadas, el movimiento afrochileno conforma organizaciones que reclaman el reconocimiento efectivo de sus comunidades, entre ellas agrupaciones musicales. Desde un enfoque cualitativo, se realizan dos historias de vida y mapas corporales con mujeres afrocolombianas que participan del movimiento afrochileno a través de la danza, y se ahonda en sus procesos corporales vinculados a las trayectorias migrantes. Se destaca que para las mujeres afrodescendientes migrantes la danza se transforma en una estrategia vinculada a sus cuerpos que propicia procesos de agencia.
Representaciones sociales de racismo y exclusión social. Migraciones haitianas contemporáneas en América Latina
Authors: Méndez-Fierros Hugo , Astudillo Rodolfo Hlousek
Published: May 2023

Resumen El objetivo es documentar e interpretar las representaciones sobre racismo y exclusión social que personas haitianas en condición de migración transnacional han construido, como resultado de experiencias vividas durante procesos de integración en ciudades de acogida de Chile y México. A partir de referentes teóricos sobre las Representaciones sociales y de un tejido conceptual entre racismo, exclusión social y precariedad laboral, se realiza un análisis de contenido con enfoque narrativo centrado en el discurso de las y los entrevistados. Los resultados muestran representaciones que proyectan vidas cotidianas simbólicamente violentadas por prácticas generadas en las sociedades receptoras, marcadas por el racismo, la exclusión social y la empleabilidad en situaciones de precarización. Estas tensiones están vinculadas a una condición migratoria irregular, son recurrentes, aunque no generalizadas. Reflejan, en distintos grados y diferentes matices, una condición estructural que opera a nivel macro y micro social tanto en Chile como en México.

Abstract Cowpea is grown mainly in regions with a hot semi-arid climate, where other pulses do not develop satisfactorily. It is the 4th most produced pulse in the world, thus supplying the domestic and export markets. Following the trends of the food products market, a study was carried out to identify the best condition of the extrusion process, to transform these nutritious grains into quality expanded products and ready for consumption. The grains were decorticated and transformed into cotyledon flour. This flour was conditioned and the Evolum HT25 twin screw extruder feeder was adjusted to a rate of 7 kg h-1. A Box-Behnken 23 design was used, considering the following variables and levels: extrusion temperature from 100 °C to 140 °C (in the 7th to 10th zone), screw speed (300 to 700 rpm) and conditioning moisture from 12% to 16%. The temperature affected linearly and negatively (p ≤ 0.05) the sectional expansion index (2.65 to 7.64). The screw speed interfered linearly and positively (p ≤ 0.05) in the longitudinal (1.12 to 9.32) and volumetric (4.91 to 24.15) expansion index, and negatively with the water absorption index (3.05 to 3.86 g g-1). The screw speed (positive linear and negative quadratic), the moisture content (negative quadratic) and the interaction (positive) between the two interfered (p ≤ 0.05) in the water solubility index (25.89% to 33.85%). The hardness value (1.24 to 2.83 N) was affected (p ≤ 0.05) by screw speed (negative linear and positive quadratic), temperature (negative quadratic), moisture (positive quadratic), and interactions of moisture with temperature and screw speed. To obtain a hardness value close to that of commercial extrudates and high-water solubility, the maximum global desirability obtained was 0.81 for extrusion at 135.6 °C, 700 rpm and 12% moisture.

Published: May 2023

Resumo Este artigo analisa a percepção dos trabalhadores sobre o ambiente de trabalho nas indústrias farmacêuticas com base em um estudo qualitativo composto por entrevistas semiestruturadas com trabalhadores do setor. Em posição antagônica ao cenário nacional de desindustrialização e desemprego, a produção de medicamentos segue em ascensão, em termos tanto de faturamento como de abertura de postos de trabalho, mesmo diante das recentes crises econômica e sanitária. Para compreender o modelo de produção da indústria farmacêutica e seus impactos na vida das pessoas que laboram no setor, foram entrevistados dez trabalhadores/as de duas fabricantes nacionais de medicamentos genéricos localizadas no Distrito Agroindustrial de Anápolis, em Goiás. Como resultado, observamos que as indústrias estudadas estão configuradas de acordo com formas sofisticadas de controle e intensificação da produção, o que deflagra um ambiente de trabalho passível de degradação da saúde física e mental.
Jornalismo declaratório no Twitter: como os usuários reagem à reprodução de declarações de Bolsonaro com desinformação?
Authors: Araújo Arthur , Teixeira Ailma
Published: May 2023

Resumo O artigo pretende analisar a reação dos usuários do Twitter perante títulos declaratórios com desinformação proferida pelo presidente Jair Bolsonaro, postados por veículos da grande mídia em seus perfis no site da rede social. Procuramos identificar: 1) como os usuários reagem às mensagens e às fontes e 2) como os usuários reagem ao formato declaratório. Para isso, utilizamos técnicas da Análise dos Sentimentos (SILVA, 2016) e da Análise de Conteúdo (SAMPAIO; LYCARIÃO, 2021), aplicadas sobre interações textuais em publicações dos jornais Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo e O Estado de S. Paulo no Twitter contendo declarações com desinformação. Como resultado temos: 1) a interação dos usuários com a publicação é majoritariamente negativa, tanto em relação a Bolsonaro quanto ao conteúdo da declaração; 2) é constante a crítica dos leitores ao formato utilizado, que evidencia as declarações com desinformação; e 3) o tensionamento, por parte do jornalista, do que é dito pela fonte amplia a percepção de credibilidade em relação ao veículo.

Resumo Com base na análise dos filmes O ano em que meus pais saíram de férias (2006), de Cao Hamburger; Kamchatka (2002), de Marcelo Piñeyro; e Infância clandestina (2011), de Benjamin Ávila, este artigo aborda o contexto ditatorial militar brasileiro em 1970 e o argentino em 1976 e 1979, tendo como aportes teóricos autores como Jeanne Marie Gagnebin (2014), Beatriz Sarlo (2012) e Márcio Selligman-Silva (2003) na discussão da memória como meio para construção de identidade. Os filmes expressam o trauma vivido nos dois países sob a perspectiva lúdica infantil dos filhos de militantes, cujos pais caíram na clandestinidade. O enquadramento traz para primeiro plano as consequências no corpo infantil que, ao serem narradas, suturam as lembranças de um passado marcado pela violência.
La sémiotique de la marque
Authors: Petitimbert Jean-Paul
Published: May 2023

Résumé Cet article à visée pédagogique, initialement destiné à un lectorat de non spécialistes, est une tentative d’initiation à trois modèles couramment utilisés en sémiotique marchande, en particulier en ce qui concerne les problématiques de branding: i) les plans et niveaux de tout langage, ii) le schéma narratif et iii) le carré sémiotique. Le premier s’avère pertinent pour aider à définir l’identité d’une marque à partir du moment où l’on considère que celle-ci est constituée de constantes d’expression et de constantes de contenu. Le second permet de rendre compte du rôle dont la marque se dote auprès de son public cible. Le troisième a la propriété de pouvoir rendre compte des logiques d’un marché et des relations que les marques qui le composent entretiennent entre elles (leurs positionnements).

Published: May 2023

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of mothers and children assisted in a follow-up clinic for congenital syphilis and identify the factors associated with the confirmation of the diagnosis. Methods: This is a prospective study conducted from 2016 to 2019 in Montes Claros, Northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. Specific forms addressing maternal sociodemographic, behavioral, and lifestyle habit characteristics, as well as characteristics related to access to healthcare, were used. Hierarchical Poisson regression analysis was performed to define the factors associated with diagnostic confirmation, including the calculation of the prevalence ratios (PR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results: A total of 200 binomials (mother-child) who attended at least one appointment as part of the follow-up after discharge from the maternity hospital were eligible for the study. The mothers were mostly young (79.0%), with a low educational level (43.0%), and black (89.5%). Nearly half of the mothers reported not having a steady sexual partner (42.5%). About a quarter attended less than six prenatal appointments (27.5%). Nearly half did not treat the disease adequately during pregnancy (24.5%). The diagnosis of congenital syphilis was confirmed for 116 children. The following factors were associated with the diagnostic confirmation after multiple analyses: low maternal educational level (PR 1.30; 95%CI 1.05–1.60), maternal risky sexual behavior (PR 1.34; 95%CI 1.07–1.66), inadequate treatment of the mother (PR 3.16; 95%CI 2.42–4.47), and lack of treatment of the partner (PR 1.44; 95%CI 1,18–1.81). Conclusions: Syphilis remains a major challenge. The results highlight the social inequities associated with congenital syphilis and the lack of proper management of pregnant women and their partners.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Objective: This study aims to describe bacterial and antimicrobial sensibilities in late-onset healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) with laboratory confirmation in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a public hospital in Ceará. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from January 2013 to December 2017. The bacterial types involved in late-onset HAIs, their sensitivity to antimicrobials, and their multidrug resistance were evaluated. The latter was classified according to the criteria revised by the Pan-American Health Organization as multidrug resistance (MDR), extended drug resistance (XDR), or pandrug resistance (PDR). The description of the variables was performed through proportions and frequency distribution depicted in tables. Results: Of the 427 patients with late-onset HAIs, 47 (11.0%) had bacterial infections confirmed by blood cultures, and 7 (14.9%) had infections caused by MDR bacteria. Among the types of bacteria, 26 (55.3%) were Gram-negative bacteria, and 21 (44.7%) were Gram-positive bacteria. Among the Gram-negative bacteria, 92.3% (n=24) showed resistance to more than one antimicrobial, especially to ampicillin (81.2%), cefepime (33.1%), gentamicin (19.4%), and piperacillin/tazobactam (17.2%). Among the MDR ones, three cases had Klebsiella pneumoniae, and three had Pseudomonas aeruginosa, classified as two MDR and one XDR, and three XDR, respectively. Gram-positive resistance to penicillin was the most common one (80.0%), and approximately half of the strains being resistant to oxacillin. Susceptibility was high to vancomycin (97.5%), but one microorganism was resistant to oxacillin and vancomycin. Conclusions: The emergence of MDR strains is a reality in NICUs, carrying the risk of therapeutic failure and requiring continuous prevention protocols aimed at minimizing the risks of contamination by bacteria with high morbidity and mortality.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Etlingera is a genus of the family Zingiberaceae that is native to tropical Asia. Many species are economically important as a source of food, spices, medicines, and ornamental plants. This study aims to elucidate the floral morphology of E. elatior and understand the behavior of the set of stamen and style during floral anthesis, seeking to identify the mechanisms that promote xenogamy in the species. Flower morphology, time of anthesis and movement of the stamen and style during this period, pollen viability, nectar volume, floral visitors, and the reproductive system were evaluated. The flowers of E. elatior exhibited synchronous movement of the style and stamen, however, this movement was not considered as flexistyly, since the species does not present dichogamy. The synchronous movement of the stamen and pistil, by itself, was not enough to promote self-pollination. Fruiting depends on pollinators. The stigma fluid is an important means whereby pollen adheres to the mouthpart of the pollinator. Hummingbirds and bees were considered the most effective pollinators of E. elatior in the area studied.
Colonization of intraradical structures of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi by dark septate endophytic fungi
Authors: Bharathy Nagarajan , Muthukumar Thangavelu
Published: May 2023

Abstract Extraradical spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are often parasitized by a wide range of soil microorganisms. However, reports on the parasitization of intraradical structures of AM fungi are very rare. While examining AM colonization in roots of Cuminum cyminum and Sambucus nigra growing in the medicinal plants garden of the Centre of Medicinal Plants Research in Homeopathy of the Nilgiris, we found that AM fungal hyphal coils, arbusculate coils, vesicles, and intraradical spores are colonized by dark septate endophytic (DSE) fungi which were co-occurring with AM fungi. The AM fungal hyphae were significantly wider than the DSE fungi. Colonization of different AM fungal structures significantly varied between the two plant species. Moreover, the percentage of colonized AM fungal structures was linearly correlated to the abundance of these structures. The colonization of the intraradical structures of AM fungi is illustrated and the significance of this phenomenon needs further elucidation.

Authors: AL-DBOUSH Ra’ed , ROSSI Antonio , EL-BIALY Tarek
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the volumetric root resorption in maxillary incisors following clear aligner therapy (CAT) with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), and compare the results to CAT alone. Material and Methods: This retrospective study evaluated pretreatment (T0) and post-treatment (T1) cone-beam computed tomography imaging of 42 adult patients. Twenty-one patients (14 females, 7 males, mean age= 38.1±12.96 years) were treated using CAT with LIPUS device, whereas the other twenty-one matching controls patients (15 females, 6 males, mean age= 35.6±11.7 years) were treated using CAT alone. Images were analyzed and a segmentation protocol was applied on the maxillary incisors. Each segmented tooth volume was exported as a surface mesh in the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) file format. The VTK files for all maxillary incisors were coded and corresponding teeth volumes from T0 and T1 were superimposed. Clipping the crown of each tooth was done, then measurements of root volumes and differences between groups were performed. Changes in root volumes were assessed (p<0.05). Results: Root loss was evident in all teeth in both groups, but was significantly increased in all maxillary incisors of the control group (p<0.001) and in upper left central incisor of LIPUS group (p=0.009). When both groups were compared, there was statistically significant minimal volumetric root loss in LIPUS group (3.50-7.32 mm3), when compared to control group (11.48-12.95 mm3) (p<0.05). Conclusion: LIPUS group showed less volumetric root resorption compared to control group during the studied treatment time using clear aligners.

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever os métodos de pesquisa e instrumentos utilizados na avaliação de estratégias de educação interprofissional para a tomada de decisão compartilhada em farmacoterapia. Os tipos de avaliação empregados foram categorizados segundo o modelo adaptado de Kirkpatrick. Foi conduzida uma revisão de escopo, seguindo as recomendações do Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (Prisma-ScR). Entre os 21 estudos selecionados, houve predomínio dos métodos quantitativos na avaliação das experiências educacionais (n=18). Destes, o aspecto mais comum avaliado foi “atitudes e percepções dos estudantes em relação à educação e à prática interprofissional”, por meio de instrumentos validados (n=13). Foram identificados dez diferentes instrumentos, que se mostraram em conformidade com as competências colaborativas do Interprofessional Education Collaborative. A variedade de instrumentos sinaliza a crescente produção de conhecimento acerca do assunto, mas aponta o desafio de realizar análises comparativas entre experiências educacionais ao redor do mundo.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS, GENDER DIVERSITY AND MONITORING
Authors: Fernandes Camila de Araújo , Machado Márcio André Veras
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT This paper aimed to investigate whether gender diversity in the board affects the effectiveness of monitoring in order to reduce the total and variable remuneration of executives, the practice of earnings management, and the sensitivity of CEO turnover to the performance of Brazilian companies. We analyzed 199 companies listed on B3 between 2011 and 2018. The results indicate that gender diversity on the board has a negative effect on the total and variable remuneration of executives, and the participation of 11% to 20% of women on the board has a negative effect on earnings management. Although it has no direct effect on the probability of CEO turnover, gender diversity takes away the explanatory power of the ROA. We understand that gender diversity on the board of directors improves the effectiveness of the monitoring functions investigated, although this is an overdue effect when other governance proxies are considered.

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the influence of burnout syndrome on healthcare professionals’ organizational commitment. The extant literature debates the conceptual independence of burnout and organizational commitment. This study contributes to the debate by empirically validating the independence of the two constructs and analyzing the relationship between burnout and three different dimensions of organizational commitment. The analyzed population was formed by doctors and nurses working directly with patients and their families from organizations located in Montes Claros, in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Data was collected using an adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale (Maslach & Jackson, 1987) and the organizational commitment scale (Meyer et al., 1993), and analyzed using variance-based structural equation modeling. The results suggest that burnout and organizational commitment are independent constructs. Also, it was observed that burnout syndrome negatively affects the employee’s affective and calculative commitment to the organization, whereas there was no evidence of a negative relationship between burnout and normative commitment. Implications for theory development and organizational practice are discussed.

RESUMO Este artigo busca analisar a influência da síndrome de burnout no comprometimento organizacional por parte de profissionais de saúde. A literatura tem debatido a independência conceitual do bornout e do comprometimento organizacional e o estudo contribui para a discussão ao validar empiricamente tal independência por meio da análise da relação entre burnout e três diferentes dimensões do comprometimento organizacional. A população em estudo inclui médicos e enfermeiras que lidam diretamente com os pacientes e seus familiares, atuando em hospitais, clínicas de tratamento e casas de apoio localizados na cidade de Montes Claros, estado de Minas Gerais. Os dados foram coletados através da aplicação de uma escala adaptada de Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) (Maslach & Jackson, 1987) e da escala de comprometimento organizacional (Meyer et al, 1993) e analisados por modelagem de equações estruturais baseada em variância. Os resultados indicam que a síndrome de Burnout e o comprometimento organizacional são construtos independentes. Ainda, pode-se observar que a síndrome de burnout afeta negativamente o comprometimento afetivo e calculativo dos empregados enquanto não foram encontradas evidências de uma relação negativa entre o burnout e o comprometimento normativo. O estudo ainda discute as implicações dos resultados para o avanço teórico e para a prática organizacional.

Published: May 2023

RESUMO Embora as condições macroeconômicas sejam reconhecidas como fatores que influenciam o desempenho do País, pouco se sabe como as empresas, os diferentes setores e o investimento em marketing absorvem tais impactos. Utilizando a teoria da miopia em marketing, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relação entre as condições macroeconômicas e os investimentos em marketing de empresas brasileiras. A amostra é formada por 183 empresas brasileiras com dados financeiros trimestrais, obtidos na Economática, e macroeconômicos, obtidos no IpeaData, de 2010 a 2020. Primeiro, os resultados indicam que o PIB, os juros e a confiança do consumidor estão relacionados positivamente, e o câmbio e o desemprego apresentaram relação negativa com os investimentos em marketing. Segundo, os impactos dessas relações diferem entre os vários setores. Terceiro, as análises demonstram que o nível de investimentos e de ampliação dos investimentos em marketing dependem das condições macroeconômicas, indicando que contextos influenciam o tratamento discricionário do orçamento de marketing.
Composting of fresh vegetable residues and its application in lettuce cultivation

ABSTRACT A considerable part of fresh plant-based food has been discarded as waste, although it could be used to make organic compost for growing plants, retaining nutrient that would be discarded without any control in the environment. The aim of this study was to produce an organic compost using fresh vegetable food discarded from restaurants and mowed grass and to evaluate it for production of lettuce. The compost was produced and mixed with the commercial substrate Tropstrato HT Hortaliças® to occupy 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25% of the volume of the mixture, which was used to grow Imperial and Imperial Roxa cultivars in the first experiment, and Camila and Red Star lettuce cultivars in the second one. The experiments were conducted under protected environment, organized in a 6x2 factorial scheme, following completely randomized design with three replicates. Chemical analyses of the substrate and compost and measurements of plant size and mass were carried out. The addition of compost caused an increase in all measurements of the plant traits, with the maximum estimated increase ranging from 1.7 to 9.0 times that estimated for the absence of compost in the plant growth substrate. Maximum estimated values for size and mass were observed with compost concentrations ranging from 20.1 to 26.7% of the mixture volume. The production of organic compost and its mixture with a commercial substrate proved to be an alternative for lettuce production, giving a better destination to the organic residues and promoting a reduction in the use of industrial inputs.

ABSTRACT Grafting can be an ally in the vegetable’s soilless cultivation, being the objective of this work evaluate the growth and production, as well as to define the thermal sum and trophic limit of grafted and non-grafted tomato plants cultivated in substrate. The experiments were conducted in a protected environment in the city of Jaguari-RS, in two growing seasons in the years 2019 and 2020. Italian and Gaucho tomato cultivars were used, the rootstock was chosen for giving vigor and longevity to the plants. Yield data were obtained through weekly fruit harvesting, growth data through periodic collections of whole plants and the total biomass obtained at the end of the experiments. Grafted plants show greater vegetative growth regardless of the crop season; however, non-grafted plants are more productive in a growing cycle with restricted light and low temperatures. Grafted plants require a greater thermal sum to complete their phenological stages. The trophic limit for grafted and non-grafted plants of Italian and Gaucho tomato cultivars is 4.8 MJ/m2/day.

ABSTRACT The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne enterolobii is gaining importance all around the world, including Brazil, damaging sweetpotato genotypes with known resistance to other RKN species, making it challenging to generate new resistant genes. This study aimed to assess the levels of resistance of 10 advanced sweetpotato cultivars to this nematode species. Two experiments were carried out in 2018/2019 and 2021/2022 seasons, under greenhouse conditions in Brasília-DF, Brazil. A completely randomized block design with six replicates of one plant/plot/treatment was used. The gall index (GI) and egg mass index (EMI) in the root system of each plant, the number of eggs and juveniles per gram of root with galls (NERG), and the nematode reproduction factor (RF) were determined. M. enterolobii resistance is present within three of the evaluated clones: BGBD 1399, MD 1609024, and MD 1610036, therefore demonstrating their potential as sources of resistance genes to assist breeding efforts to release cultivars, and help to reduce the impact and spread of this RKN.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate microfluidic chip electrophoresis, known as lab-on-a-chip technique, for the detection of milk adulteration using cheese whey in comparison with SDS-PAGE. Raw, pasteurized, processed at an ultra-high temperature (UHT), and powdered milk samples received increasing concentrations of cheese whey (0, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100% v/v), and were subjected to lab-on-a-chip electrophoresis and SDS-PAGE to detect their mixtures. The lab-on-a-chip methodology was able to separate and quantify milk proteins. In addition, the tested technique is easy, rapid, sensitive, and can detect the addition of cheese whey in milk from the lowest level tested (1%) for milk proteins α-casein and β-casein.

Published: May 2023

Abstract This study evaluates seven flat slabs made with reinforced concrete. There are three reference slabs, one of them doesn’t present any shear reinforcement. Four slabs have a new model of shear reinforcement of stud type, internally anchored to the flexural reinforcements. That reinforcement has an additional element, called on this study by the name: anti-cracking pins. The main objective of the research is to find the ideal spacing between these pins to achieve a failure mode and a failure load similar to the reference slabs that have conventional studs. For that, are evaluated: vertical displacements, rotation, shear reinforcement deformation, load capacity and failure mode. The slabs with the new stud have a load gain of 40% to 106% compared to the slab without studs LRef. The slab L-5-13 presented a load and a failure mode similar to the slab of reference, LRef-AC.
