Authors: Macedo Davi Manzini , Foschiera Laura Nichele , Bordini Thays Carolyna Pires Mazzini , Habigzang Luísa Fernanda , Koller Silvia Helena
Published: February 2019

Resumo A presente revisão sistemática investiga como registros de violência contra crianças e adolescentes, no Brasil, são acessados, analisados e discutidos em artigos científicos da área da saúde. Foram selecionados 50 artigos das bases SciELO, PePSIC, LILACS, Web of Science e Scopus baseados em dados do período de 1990 a 2015. A análise de distribuição de frequência caracterizou os registros utilizados nas publicações. Identificou-se que o documento mais utilizado foi a notificação de violência ao Conselho Tutelar. As características das vítimas e das situações de violência foram as mais frequentemente analisadas. Os dados observados informaram sobre a evolução das políticas de vigilância epidemiológica da violência no país. Por meio da Análise Temática, constatou-se que os dados foram discutidos e relacionados aos diferentes níveis contextuais em que se manifesta a violência. Os resultados mostram elevados índices de informações ausentes entre os registros, bem como desconhecimento de variáveis psicossociais anteriores às situações de violência que interferem na testagem dos dados a partir de modelos teóricos atuais.

Published: February 2019

Resumo O nível de atividade física e o autoconceito de autoestima são fatores adjacentes do status de saúde da população. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a associação entre nível de atividade física e autoconceito de autoestima de adolescentes. A amostra foi constituída por 98 sujeitos com média de 16,7 ± 1,2 anos. Utilizou-se dois instrumentos: Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física – versão curta e Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. A regressão logística binária (Odds Ratio) com α de 5% foi utilizada. As evidências teóricas giraram em torno da abordagem contemporânea do conceito de saúde e os resultados foram discutidos à luz da teoria comportamental do adolescente. Houve predominância de adolescentes ativos (41,8%), bem como menor proporção de sedentários (4,1%). Apresentaram autoestima elevada 55,1%, enquanto 44,9% revelaram a ter baixa. Conclui-se que não houve associação (Wald F = 2,756; p = 0,600) entre nível de atividade física e autoconceito de autoestima. Por fim, discutiu-se elementos comportamentais do adolescente que apontam lócus às futuras intervenções relativas ao tema com este público.
Problemas associados ao binge drinking entre estudantes das capitais brasileiras
Authors: Gomes Karla , Amato Tatiana de Castro , Bedendo André , Santos Elaine Lucas dos , Noto Ana Regina
Published: February 2019

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é descrever e estimar a chance de problemas entre adolescentes que referiram consumo binge drinking comparados aos que referiram ter consumido álcool sem essa característica. Participaram 10.666 estudantes de ensino médio de escolas públicas e privadas das 27 capitais brasileiras (14 a 18 anos) que declararam uso de álcool ao menos uma vez nos 12 meses anteriores à pesquisa. A chance de ocorrerem problemas devido ao consumo foi estimada por regressão logística ordinal. Metade dos estudantes relatou binge drinking e 33,1% relatou ter vivido pelo menos um problema em decorrência do seu uso. O binge drinking no ano (aOR = 4,7; IC:3,9-5,7) e mês (aOR = 4,4; IC: 3,6-5,4) foi associado à maior chance de relato de problemas. Os problemas com maior chance de ocorrer foram: ir para a escola ou trabalho embriagado (aOR = 6,5; IC:3,6-11,9); prática de relação sexual sem preservativo (aOR = 5,0; IC:3,7-6,8); e entrar em brigas (aOR = 4,5; IC:3,2-6,3). Adolescentes que praticam binge drinking estão mais expostos a problemas decorrentes de seu consumo do que aqueles que beberam em menor quantidade. Sugere-se que programas preventivos sobre álcool considerem os problemas mais prevalentes e padrões de uso mais arriscados, ampliando a dicotomia consumo versus não consumo.
Le drame de l'autisme: entre amour et désir
Authors: Cabassut Jacques , Barriol Céline
Published: February 2019

A partir de leur praxis, les auteurs proposent de questionner l'impensable de la problématique autistique avec pour point de départ l'amour et le désir, qui en est son grand véhicule. A cet effet, ils proposent de mettre en rapport sujet de l'individuel et sujet du collectif, formation de la foule et passion mélancolique …et ce, afin d'en saisir les enseignements sur les effets de structuration du sujet dit autiste dans ses rapports avec l'Autre, et réciproquement, sur la qualité du lien social contemporain. Ils argumentent que la conjoncture entre la problématique autistique et le discours capitaliste potentialise la mélancolie du soignant [en miroir à la mélancolisation de l'Autre maternel]. La conception actuelle du soin, qui évince la spécificité de l'amour de transfert spécifique à la souffrance autistique, détruit toute idée d'implication du professionnel dans la rencontre. Dès lors, seule la restauration des dimensions de l'amour de transfert et du désir, comme le traitement de leur incurable, permettent de penser et/ou de repenser les pratiques actuelles, cette fois à partir de l'éthique propre à la clinique psychanalytique.
El consumo de drogas como sostén narcisista en la adolescencia
Authors: Gamboa Adolfo Brack , Portilla Rodrigo Cornejo
Published: February 2019

La tradición científica ha encontrado, en la transformación endocrina y en las condiciones ambientales, una explicación al consumo de drogas en la adolescencia, abriendo con ello la puerta a un tratamiento donde la subjetividad difícilmente ha sido leída como tal. La siguiente investigación propone comprender el periodo de la adolescencia como un proceso que, iniciándose en la pubertad, reactualiza los conflictos infantiles del sujeto, exigiendo de este, una reorganización psíquica que conduce a su subjetivación; situando desde esta visión al consumo de drogas como una posibilidad de sopesar o no, dicho advenimiento.
A historical account of schizophrenia proneness categories from DSM-I to DSM-5 (1952-2013)

Published: February 2019

The history of diagnostic classifications in psychiatry has been recognized as a privileged means of access to the vicissitudes inherent to the configuration of a scientific and professional field, also bringing significant contributions to conceptual history. We have taken as primary sources the five editions of the DSM (1952-2013) to examine the construction of diagnostic categories related to schizophrenia proneness, indicating the scientific and social contexts related to the development of DSM and psychiatry itself. Along this process we highlight the conditions of possibility for the emergence of the Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome, a highly controversial diagnostic proposal, in the elaboration of DSM-5. This proposal ended up being rejected not only on scientific grounds, but also because of feared unintended consequences.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the care provided by family caregivers of children submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Method: the Grounded Theory was used as methodology. The study comprised four sample groups, comprising 36 caregivers. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews and analyzed according to the coding proposed by Strauss and Corbin in three phases: open, axial and selective. Results: eight propositions were identified for the care provided to the child in the researched context, namely administering medications; attention to cleaning issues; care with water and food intake; care with the body; experiencing protective isolation; addressing the child’s need for emotional support; addressing the child’s self-care; and facing complications. Conclusion: the different aspects in which the caregiver acts in the care of the child were understood. Such care equips the health team to elaborate measures for guidance and preparation of home care that are effective and directed to the needs of the patient and their family. The understanding of the care that they accomplish enables the caregiver a greater understanding of their role, as well as of the decisions they will make by their being under treatment.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the effect of music therapy on the stress of chemically dependent people. Method: quasi-experimental study conducted at a philanthropic institution with 18 chemically dependent people undergoing treatment. Salivary cortisol (stress hormone) was collected in three moments: before, 60 minutes after, and 120 minutes after a music therapy group intervention. Statistical analysis adopted a significance level of p < 0.05 and used the Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric tests. Results: after 60 minutes of intervention, there was a statistically significant reduction in mean salivary cortisol levels (p < 0.001). A reduction was also noted after 120 minutes, but without statistical significance (p = 0.139). Conclusion: a single session of 60 minutes of group music therapy was able to reduce stress (salivary cortisol levels) of chemically dependent people.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objectives: to evaluate and classify patients according to the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries; verify the association between sociodemographic and clinical variables and the risk score; and identify the occurrence of pressure injuries due to surgical positioning. Method: observational, longitudinal, prospective and quantitative study carried out in a teaching hospital with 278 patients submitted to elective surgeries. A sociodemographic and clinical characterization questionnaire and the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries were used. Descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression analyses were applied. Results: the majority of patients (56.5%) presented a high risk for perioperative pressure injury. Female sex, elderly group, and altered body mass index values were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for a higher risk of pressure injuries. In 77% of the patients, there were perioperative pressure injuries. Conclusion: most of the participants presented a high risk for development of perioperative decubitus ulcers. The female sex, elderly group, and altered body mass index were significant factors for increased risk. The Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries allows the early identification of risk of injury, subsidizing the adoption of preventive strategies to ensure the quality of perioperative care.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze incidents reported in a neonatal care unit. Method: a quantitative, cross-sectional and retrospective study with a sample of 34 newborns. Data were collected through a structured form, composed of two parts: sociodemographic/clinical characteristics of the newborns, and characteristics of the reported incidents. Data were collected from the institution’s computer system, in a period corresponding to 13 months, and analyzed by means of descriptive statistics. Results: the majority of the newborns were preterm (70.6%), male (52.9%) and born through caesarean section (76.5%). During the study period, 54 incidents were reported, totaling a frequency of 1.6 incident per newborn. It was found that 61.1% of incidents were related to medicines, 14.8% to accidental loss of tracheal tube and 9.3% to catheter obstruction. Conclusion: analysis of the reported incidents has shown that most incidents refer to the drug process. Information about the incidents can increase the perception of health professionals regarding the impact of their actions.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the impact of the type of contract and seniority of nursing staff on their attitudes towards communication, emotional intelligence and empathy. Methods: the instruments measuring attitudes towards communication, empathy and emotional intelligence. The study sample was composed of 450 nurses from 7 hospitals. To explore the effect of the variables studied, one-factor ANOVA test, Pearson correlations and hierarchical multiple linear regression models were performed according to the type of contract. Results: there are statistically significant differences between the variables studied according to the type of contract. More specifically, the nursing staff with permanent contract showed higher scores in the cognitive dimension of the scale attitudes towards communication. Likewise, the highest correlations were found among the dimensions of attitudes towards communication in all the groups. At the same time, seniority was positively related to emotional intelligence in the interim and negatively related to empathy in the permanent contract. Finally, regarding the regression models, it was observed that the perspective taken is the main predictor of each dimension of attitudes towards communication in all the groups, regardless of the type of contract. Conclusion: positive working conditions (job security, permanent contract and seniority) have been found to influence the communication skills in the patient-nurse relationship.
Relative growth of freshwater prawn Macrobrachium brasiliense (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) and its implications for reproduction

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT The main objective of this study was to estimate the morphological sexual maturity of Macrobrachium brasiliense (Heller, 1862) and to analyze the relative growth of the species. During one year of sampling, from July 2012 to June 2013, 199 specimens were collected in a stream located in a Cerrado biome, in the Triângulo Mineiro region, state of Minas Gerais. Once identified and sexed, the length of the carapace, the length of the segments of the chelipeds (ischium, merus, carpus, propodus and dactyl) and width of the pleura were measured (mm). The maximum and mean sizes of the carapace length measured 20.5 mm (Mean: 9.6 ± 4.2 mm) and 20.1 mm (Mean: 7.7 ± 3.4 mm) for males and females, respectively. The propodus length for males, and the pleura width for females, were used for the classification of the specimens into juvenile and adult, using K-means analysis and discriminant analysis. The relative growth of the species was also evaluated through covariance analysis for all structures (ANCOVA, α = 0.05). In females, the growth of most structures occurred equally between juveniles and adults, with the exception of the merus and pleura structures. On the other hand, the growth of almost all structures of males differed between juveniles and adults. Only the carpus and the pleura growth were similar. We also estimated the size at onset of morphological sexual maturity at 8.64 mm CL for males (CL50% r = 1.71) and 8.03 mm CL for females (CL50% r = 0.07). Our results contribute to the understanding of some important questions related to the reproductive biology of M. brasiliense. We noted that males grow differently from females and become the largest individuals in the population, resulting in a sexual dimorphism. Such sexual dimorphism might promote the development of the temporary mating guarding behavior, a reproductive strategy very important for caridean shrimps.
Heranças de família: terras, pessoas e espíritos no sul do Haiti
Authors: Dalmaso Flávia
Published: February 2019

Resumo Este artigo trata das relações entre pessoas, terras e espíritos na região de Jacmel, sul do Haiti. Esses espíritos, conhecidos como lwa e relacionados ao vodu haitiano, constroem suas existências a partir de uma relação profunda que mantêm com a terra onde habitam e, ao mesmo tempo, com os descendentes daquele que primeiro teria ocupado esta terra. Sendo parte de um legado familiar transmitido ao longo de sucessivas gerações, eles precisam ser cuidados e alimentados sob o risco de se tornarem agressivos, ameaçando a vida tanto dos seus herdeiros quanto a de seus familiares mais próximos. Tomando como base a reconstrução de certos acontecimentos que envolvem a relação entre um desses espíritos e a família de meus anfitriões, o texto busca recuperar sentimentos, opiniões, saberes e práticas em que os lwa são parte fundamental da experiência social das pessoas, atingindo-as diretamente e interferindo em seus destinos, independentemente das suas filiações religiosas.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT: Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) being a constant concern, ceftaroline fosamil has been recently approved as a new cephalosporin, active against MRSA, for use in humans; only rare cases of resistance have been reported till date. There is no report of resistance to ceftaroline in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, which is the main bacterium causing dermatitis and otitis in dogs. To evaluate staphylococcal resistance to ceftaroline, 35 isolates of methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP), carrying the mecA gene, from 26 dogs with folliculitis and nine dogs with external otitis, underwent disk diffusion test with cefoxitin, oxacillin, and ceftaroline. Tests with cefoxitin and oxacillin showed > 90% sensitivity in methicillin resistance detection. In the disk diffusion test, 97.14% (34/35) were resistant to cefoxitin, 94.29% (33/35) to oxacillin, and 31.43% (11/35) to ceftaroline. Of the ceftaroline-resistant strains, 27.27% (3/11) were obtained from the ears of dogs while the rest (8/11) were from the skin. The current report is the first description of MRSP resistance to ceftaroline.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT: The efficiency of a culture system is related to the elaboration and replacement of a medium with conditions suitable for follicular development. Recent investigations suggested that in vitro culture medium should be replaced after specific time periods in various species. However, the suitable interval for the exchange of in vitro culture medium has not yet been established in equine species. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of medium exchange intervals of 24 hours (T24) or 48 hours (T48) for in vitro culture of preantral follicles at 2 or 6 days. At the end of the culture period, the fragments were processed using classical histology. Equine preantral follicles were classified according to morphological integrity and developmental stage. Data analysis was performed using Fisher’s test with a significance level of p<0.05. Out of a total of 399 follicles evaluated, 174 (43.6%) were primordial follicles, 225 (56.4%) were in development, and 63.76% were morphologically intact. In the in vitro culture performed over two days, there was no significant difference in relation to follicular integrity after medium replacement (p>0.05). Compared to the medium replacement at six days of culture, there was a statistically significant difference for T24 (68.9%, p<0.05). Therefore, we suggest changing the medium for equine species at 48 hours after the start of culture followed by subsequent daily replacements.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT: The contribution of computed tomography for staging and surgical planning of malignant perineal tumors in dogs is discussed. Five dogs diagnosed with malignant perineal neoplasms underwent to computed tomography (CT) examination. The CT image enabled investigation of cleavage planes between neoplastic lesions and adjacent structures such as the rectum, anus, vagina, urethra and perineal muscles. Accurate assessment regional lymph nodes and adjacent bone structures was also possible. All tumors evaluated in this region presented heterogeneous appearance in pre and postcontrast CT images, but only the anal sac adenocarcinomas presented lymphadenopathy. Computed tomography proved to be a valuable tool for tumor staging and determination of lesion extension and invasion of adjacent tissues, providing significant contributions to clinical and surgical therapeutic planning.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the biochemical profile of dairy cows with induced lactation. For comparison, another group of normally calved cows was used as control. Lactation was induced in multiparous Holstein cows (n=10) with two norgestomet implants (3mg each implant) on day 1. The testing continued with intramuscular norgestomet (3mg/animal) on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15. On days 1, 9, 16 to 18 and then every 14 days, bSTr (500mg/animal) was added. On day 16, the intravaginal implant was removed and intramuscular prostaglandin F2α (0.530mg/animal) and intramuscular estradiol benzoate (5mg/animal) were added. On days 16 to 18 dexamethasone (10mg/animal) was added, and from days 18 to 20 intramuscular metoclopramide (100mg/animal) was added. Milking began on day 19 of the induction. Blood was collected for a biochemical profile after 21 days in milk. It was found that urea and triglyceride concentrations were significantly higher in the induced cows (P<0.05). Therefore, it was concluded that the animals that had lactation induced did not present disorders related to the biochemical profile indicating that the hepatic function, renal function and lipidogram of the animals were not affected by the use of the drugs to induce lactation.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT: Rhinosporidiosis is a disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, an aquatic protist of the class Mesomycetozoa. It primarily affects the nasal mucosa and transmission is associated with contaminated water contact. This report describes seven cases of rhinosporidiosis in horses in Rio Grande do Sul covering the period of 13 years. The disease predominantly affected Crioulo and thoroughbred horses. No apparent gender predisposition occurs, and age ranged from two to 25 years, with a median of 10 years. The gross aspects were characterized by unilateral (85.7%, 6/7) or bilateral (14.3%, 1/7) polyps. These were soft to friable, whitish to pink, cauliflower-like, with an irregular, sometimes ulcerated surface, measuring 2.5 to 6.0cm in diameter. There was a severe inflammatory infiltrate of the submucosa was observed, associated with moderate proliferation of the epithelium, and numerous rounded structures were identified compatible with sporangia of R. seeberi. Rhinosporidiosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of other conditions affecting the respiratory tract of horses, and it is important to perform histopathology for diagnosis.

Published: February 2019

RESUMO: Em diversas partes da América Latina, a perda e diminuição do habitat natural de animais silvestres ocorre em função do aumento das atividades agropecuárias. Nos últimos anos o número de mortes de animais de criação por depredação tem aumentado, bem como a consequente retaliação aos predadores. Como resultado destas ações, ocorre à extinção ou redução das populações destes predadores de topo, provocando perdas ecológicas. Esse estudo teve como objetivo apontar medidas preventivas e mitigatórias da depredação de ovinos por onça-parda (Puma concolor). Através da análise de dois estudos de casos de depredação no Centro-Oeste brasileiro e na região dos Andes Colombianos, levantamos soluções alternativas sustentáveis para que profissionais e criadores possam se prevenir desta ameaça ao rebanho ovino. Um estudo de caso foi realizado em fazenda no município de Alto Paraguai, Mato Grosso. Entre os anos 2005 e 2014 houve visitas na propriedade para diagnóstico de doenças e realizou-se estudo comparativo da quantidade de mortes por doenças com as mortes por depredação. No ano de 2010 ocorreu um ataque depredatório que resultou em morte de seis ovinos. Em 2014, realizou-se um estudo na região central do Departamento del Valle del Cauca, há 2814m de altitude nos Andes colombianos, para diagnosticar a depredação de gado na região e implementar medidas para prevenir sua ocorrência e avaliar sua eficácia. No total, foram implementadas medidas anti-depredação sobre oito propriedades, e entre elas, um curral com cerca elétrica para ovelhas foi implementada em uma fazenda no município de Tuluá. Os resultados mostram que as perdas econômicas por depredação são graves nas duas regiões estudadas e se equiparam a perdas por doenças no estudo de caso em Mato Grosso, Brasil. Portanto recomenda-se a combinação entre o manejo sanitário, métodos de prevenção e, se necessário, mitigação de ataques depredatório. Além disso, legisladores devem se associar a pesquisadores para traçar estratégias efetivas para esse sério problema na América Latina.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective This study evaluated the knowledge and practices of pediatricians and nutritionists about cow’s milk protein allergy in infants, with an emphasis on issues related to the exclusion diet and nutritional status. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive study was performed with a convenience sample of 204 pediatricians and 202 nutritionists randomly invited in scientific events in the city of São Paulo, from November 2014 to March 2016. Results Between 1.5% and 21.0% of respondents indicated inadequate products for the treatment of cow’s milk protein allergy, including goat’s milk, beverages or juices based on soy extract, lactose-free milk formula and partially hydrolyzed formula. The daily calcium recommendation for children between zero and 36 months of age was correctly indicated by 27.0% of pediatricians and 46.0% of nutritionists (p=0.001). Additionally, 96.1% of pediatricians and 82.7% of dietitians (p<0.001) provided guidance on about labels of industrialized products. Conclusion Pediatricians and nutritionists present gaps in knowledge about cow’s milk protein allergy treatment in infants and educational strategies that increase the knowledge of the professionals are important for the management of cow’s milk protein allergy.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective A strategic analysis was carried out in order to verify the relevance of the Food and Nutrition Security Plan of the state of Santa Catarina to the Brazilian concept of Food and Nutrition Security. Methods A matrix containing 7 dimensions, 16 sub-dimensions and 35 indicators was used for the evaluation, which were evaluated as poor, regular, good and excellent for each component. Results The Plan was evaluated as being of good relevance to its objective. However, it was only relevant to 53% of the analyzed dimensions, and the dimension of promoting universal access to adequate food had the worst result. The dimensions of developing permanent processes of education, research and training, and of evaluation and monitoring, obtained the best results, with the Plan being evaluated as of good relevance to these dimensions. Still, for half of the sub-dimensions and for 60% of the analyzed indicators, the Plan was evaluated as poor or regular. Conclusion It is hoped that the results of this research can qualify the Plan researched, as well as stimulate reflections for the construction of Plans in the other Brazilian states.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the job satisfaction of nutritionists who work in food service in the state of Paraná (Brazil). Methods A survey was carried out with 249 nutritionists through a semi-structured online questionnaire, which assessed their profile, professional activities, and job satisfaction. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests and the ordinal logistic regression at a 5% significance level were applied to evaluate the differences and relationship between job satisfaction and the independent variables. Results The average age of the survey participants was 31.9±6.4 years, the majority was female (95.58%), and graduated between 2000 and 2016 (90.36%). The survey revealed that 55.41% of the nutritionists were satisfied at work, 33.68% were indifferent, 6.86% were highly satisfied, and 4.04% were dissatisfied. The variables that influenced job satisfaction the most were age, years of training, income, and workdays in the week. Income explained satisfaction positively. There was statistical difference in relation to the satisfaction of participants regarding their knowledge on food service (p=0.0350), completion of postgraduate courses (p=0.0082), and interest in working in an area of nutrition other than food service (p<0.0001). Conclusion Although most professionals are satisfied, many were indifferent to job satisfaction, which may reflect a low perspective on their current job or poor experience in the food service. These results suggest the need for further actions aiming at raising nutritionists’ perceived professional importance.

Published: February 2019

Abstract Introduction: the Aicardi syndrome (SA) is characterized as a rare syndrome identified in the presence of three classic characteristics: corpus callosum agenesis, chorioretinal lacunaeand infantile spasms. Description: data collection involved information reported by the mother and the accompanying physiotherapist describing the patient's clinical history andmajor complications according to clinical evolution, treatment, and therapeutic response. At two months of age, the child presented a delayed neuropsychomotor development and infantile spasms.However,the diagnosis of the syndrome was only performed at six months of life, involving brain magnetic resonance imaging where corneal body agenesis was observed. A multidisciplinary treatment was assembledwith a neuropediatrician, a physiotherapist, a psychologist, a nutritionistand a speech therapist, besides drug treatment with baclofen and phenobarbital. Discussion: through the established treatment, the child displayedmotor gain, cervical control, improvement of the respiratory condition, and no need forhospital admissions;these outcomescharacterizea good clinical evolution associated with the physiotherapeutic intervention focused on prevention and minimization of respiratory alterationsthatare frequently associated with morbidity and mortality in these cases. The results obtained point out the fundamental role of multidisciplinary intervention in coping with this condition.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, compounds with biological properties produced by plants have received attention as an alternative to control microorganisms. Essential oils extracted from green leaves of Eucalyptus sp. have been demonstrated to have antimicrobial activities, but so far there are no reports of antimicrobial activity of essential oils extracted from dried leaves of Eucalyptus staigeriana. So, the objectives of this study were to determine the chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from dried leaves of E. staigeriana (EOdlES) and to evaluate in vitro antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of EOdlES against gram-positive and gram-negative, resistance and multiresistant Enterococcus faecalis isolated from food and clinical samples. The characterization of EOdlES was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). For this study, 26 bacterial strains were used, which included 11 reference strains and 15 antibiotic resistant and multiresistant E. faecalis strains. Antimicrobial activities of EOdlES against gram-positive and gram-negative were determined using the disc diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value was evaluated by a microbroth dilution technique. The antibiofilm effects were assessed by microtiter plate method. As a result, 21 compounds were identified, being oxygenated monoterpenes (69.58%) the major chemical family. EOdlES showed only antimicrobial activity against gram-positive strains. E. faecalis resistant and multiresistant strains show the lowest MIC (3.12 to 6.25%), when compared with reference E. faecalis strain. EOdlES has the ability to inhibit the biofilm formation, but little or none ability to inhibit the preformed biofilm. This study demonstrates that EOdlES is a promising alternative to control important foodborne and clinic gram-positive resistant bacteria.

ABSTRACT: Secondary compounds have allelopathic action on germination and growth, and initial development of seedlings and beggar tick can have its germination and growth affected by the action of allelopathic extracts. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the allelopathic potential of Brachiaria (Brachiaria brizantha), sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and sorghum extracts (Sorghum bicolor) on germination and initial growth of beggar ticks (Bidens pilosa). For this, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates and brachiaria, sunflower and sorghum extracts and control (distilled water) treatments. Extracts were obtained using 200 g of plant material and 1,000 mL of distilled water. Seeds were distributed in gerbox containing two sheets of germitest paper moistened with treatments and taken to germination chamber. Germination was daily monitored, and ten days after, initial growth was evaluated. Extracts did not reduce germination. However, they caused increase in germination time, mainly by brachiaria extract. Seedlings submitted to brachiaria and sorghum extracts showed lower growth. Brachiaria and sorghum extracts showed no action on germination, but controlled the initial growth of beggar tick, being potential natural herbicides.
A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR INTEGRATING NON-MATERIAL COMPONENTS IN SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT
Authors: VIÉGAS OSVALDO , CAEIRO SANDRA , RAMOS TOMÁS
Published: February 2019

Abstract Researchers have adopted a concept for sustainable development (SD) that has given rise to different systems of sustainability assessment, systems to which several authors have suggested non-material components should be incorporated. This work aims at developing a conceptual model to integrate these components into systems of sustainability assessment. A review of the literature made it possible to design a conceptual model for the non-material components of sustainability and to identify associated themes. This proposal was analyzed at both regional and local levels through semi-structured interviews addressed to stakeholders from Alagoas and Maceió, Brazil. The proposal was considered by the actors involved (interviewees) to be generally adequate, and suggestions for improvement and adjustment were put forward by them, to facilitate both the understanding and practical application of the model. The analysis of the respondents’ perceptions allowed us to identify the preferred link between the term sustainability and the environmental dimension, as well as their restricted reference to intergenerational commitment.

Abstract The environmental scenario requires the participation of the society in the integration of individual responsibilities to the political action. The recycling pro-environmental behavior contributes to the proper disposal of solid waste, a major challenge in urban public management. The article aims to analyze the scientific production of the pro-environmental behaviors and recycling in order to weave notes that promote behavioral changes provided for in public policies. The PsycINFO, Scielo and EBSCOhost databases were consulted using the keywords: environmental attitudes, pro-environmental behavior and recycling. We selected 51 articles, among which predominated the investigation into motivation to recycle behavior, influence of social network and social norms. Environmental attitudes and behavior to recycle have shown to be related to social norms, motivation, identity, altruism and awareness; these should be considered when planning public policies and environmental awareness actions.
Lendo “The People’s Choice” no seu 70o aniversário: do “líder de opinião” aos “influenciadores digitais”
Authors: Martino Luís Mauro Sá
Published: February 2019

Resumo Este texto delineia alguns aspectos da obra de Lazarsfeld, Berelson e Gaudet “The People´s Choice”, publicada em 1948. O objetivo é discutir a atualidade de alguns conceitos-chave da obra, sobretudo as noções de “líder de opinião”, “influência pessoal” e “fluxo em duas etapas” no contexto das discussões correntes sobre Epistemologia da Comunicação. A contextualização da obra em seu pano de fundo histórico e epistemológico permite observar pelo menos três aspectos: (1) a validade contemporânea da noção de “influência” como categoria analítica; (2) o lugar das redes sociais na formação da opinião; e (3) a ideia de “líder de opinião” ou “influenciador” no fluxo de opiniões da sociedade. Esses elementos são discutidos a partir da apropriação do livro nas Teorias da Comunicação.

Ciência e mídia como campo de estudo: uma análise da produção científica brasileira
Authors: Massarani Luisa , Rocha Mariana
Published: February 2019

Resumo Mapeamento recente realizado sobre os artigos acadêmicos em divulgação científica na América Latina mostra que a mídia é o foco do maior número de estudos nesse campo, com 31% de 609 artigos identificados (MASSARANI et al, 2017). Neste artigo, analisamos especificamente os artigos publicados por autores brasileiros. Nosso corpus consiste de 154 artigos que tiveram como tema a cobertura da ciência por diferentes meios de comunicação. Os resultados mostram que há uma concentração de artigos em revistas brasileiras (88%). Boa parte dos artigos (60%) avalia meios de comunicação impressos, como jornais e revistas, e 52% dos artigos usam metodologias qualitativas em suas análises. A comunidade de autores se concentra em instituições do eixo Rio de Janeiro – São Paulo. Ainda que estejam geograficamente próximos, esses autores colaboram com poucos pares, gerando uma comunidade científica fragmentada.
Conversações políticas e midiatização no Facebook: interações e conflitos a partir dos comentários sobre as ações da Frente Parlamentar Evangélica
Authors: Marques Ângela Cristina Salgueiro , Guimarães Bruno Menezes Andrade
Published: February 2019

Resumo O artigo elabora reflexões sobre comentários feitos no Facebook acerca das ações da Frente Parlamentar Evangélica (FPE) no que diz respeito aos trâmites de implementação do Estatuto da Família (PL 6583 de 2013). Para isso, em um primeiro momento, evocamos o conceito de midiatização para tratarmos da expansão de oportunidades de interação em espaços virtuais. Dentre as instituições mais expostas às dinâmicas de midiatização, o artigo se volta para as interseções entre política, religião e os modos de ativação de discursos e conversações no Facebook. O corpus de análise é composto por um conjunto de 2.187 comentários publicados na página oficial da revista Época. Para isso, o percurso metodológico traçado se inspira em referências sobre conversações online e dinâmicas de troca de argumentos, justificação recíproca e incivilidade quando se trata de buscar melhor compreensão ou resolução de problemas morais. A análise, por sua vez, está dividida em três eixos: a) o relacionamento entre os interlocutores através de marcadores identitários; b) a explicitação e justificação de premissas que sustentam as considerações e argumentos trocados; e c) a negociação de parâmetros de justiça que contemplem interesses coletivos.
Hoje é dia de festa: a construção e expressão das identidades sociais e culturais do imigrante nas celebrações das origens
Authors: Escudero Camila
Published: February 2019

Resumo Este artigo trata de um aspecto peculiar da organização dos grupos de imigrantes – os repertórios culturais – e sua relação com o substrato comunicacional inerente ao atual processo de globalização, marcado por intensa mobilidade humana e avanço das TICs. Considera as mediações culturais e trocas simbólicas midiatizadas ou não na construção de espaços subjetivos e identidades e explora processos de ressignificação e ressimbolização a partir de conceitos de transnacionalismo, etnicidade, comunidade diaspórica e interculturalismo. Entre as técnicas de pesquisa aplicadas, de abordagem qualitativa, estão entrevistas semi-abertas, análise do discurso e de conteúdo, observação sistemática e pesquisa bibliográfica. Os principais resultados apontam que, ao recorrerem a seus repertórios culturais, os sujeitos imigrantes se tornam mais conscientes das forças sociais e interesses que as moldam, bem como seu papel nos processos de mudança social.
A Festa de Sant Jordi no jornal La Vanguardia
Authors: Travancas Isabel , Scherer Marta
Published: February 2019

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é fazer uma análise da cobertura da imprensa espanhola da Festa de Sant Jordi, santo padroeiro da Catalunha, que é realizada todos os anos no dia 23 de abril em Barcelona. Para isso foi escolhida a edição de 23 de abril de 2017 do jornal espanhol La Vanguardia como estudo de caso, periódico catalão fundado em 1881. É um tablóide, com cerca de 50 páginas, com duas edições diárias, em catalão e em castelhano, com tiragem média de 220 mil exemplares. No estudo da edição foi possível perceber a dimensão da festa popular, seja pelo número de páginas – mais de 100 – como pelo fato de ela ser o tema central do jornal. O que buscamos com essa reflexão teórica é entender o significado da Festa de Sant Jordi a partir de sua representação midiática. Ao analisarmos as páginas do periódico a partir de autores que estudam a imprensa escrita, concluímos que existe um consenso na construção da festa como um marco cultural catalão.
