Authors: Cordeiro Vasconcelos Nathalia , Vasconcellos Marcel , Paiva Doczy Andrea de , Faria Diniz Ana Paula
Published: April 2023

Embora o aleitamento materno seja primordial para o desenvolvimento humano, o desmame precoce tem ocorrido com grande frequência devido a diversas barreiras encontradas pela mãe nesse momento. Objetivos: Identificar as principais barreiras na amamentação e complicações associadas ao desmame precoce. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura com busca de artigos nas bases do MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria (SBP). Utilizou-se os descritores MeSH:“breastfeeding”; “breastfeeding difficulties”; “importance of breastfeeding”; “early weaning”. Os critérios de inclusão abrangeram artigos publicados entre janeiro de 2015 e dezembro de 2022, sem restrição de idioma. Foram excluídos os artigos duplicados, ou cujo conteúdo não apresentava pertinência com o tema. A busca resultou em 405 publicações e destas, foram selecionadas 30. A estratégia de busca, exclusão e seleção seguiu as recomendações do PRISMA. Resultados: Os benefícios do aleitamento materno para o bebê compreendem principalmente a prevenção de doenças futuras, enquanto para a mãe há redução no risco para desenvolvimento do câncer de mama e de útero, além de fortalecer o vínculo mãe-filho, com benefício recíproco. As principais causas encontradas do desmame precoce foram traumas mamilares ocorridos por pega inadequada, falta de informações sobre uso de bicos e chupetas, necessidade de retorno ao trabalho e o não apoio familiar, além do desconhecimento sobre a introdução precoce de outros alimentos. Conclusões: Torna-se necessário um investimento educacional para a efetiva orientação de mulheres gestantes, principalmente na atenção primária, visando promoção e proteção materno-infantil.

Authors: Perovano Dalton
Published: April 2023

O estudo apresenta a ampla discussão sobre a proposta de emprego da gestão por processos na Polícia Militar do Paraná (PMPR), a partir do suporte normativo do Planejamento Estratégico da Corporação, previsto pela Portaria do Comando-Geral nº 273/2022. Os estudos da perspectiva da gestão por processos para o setor público são incipientes, e encontram respaldo técnico e jurídico no artigo 37 da Constituição Federal de 1988, quando elenca o princípio da eficiência, e para a administração pública trata da gestão dos recursos públicos com responsabilidade e com o foco no resultado. A investigação teve por objetivo saber como a gestão por processos colabora e facilita nas diversas ações da administração policial militar, na busca da eficiência organizacional. A pesquisa, com enfoque qualitativo e tipo de estudo descritivo, utilizou a revisão sistemática da literatura, com a reunião de estudos relevantes sobre a gestão por processos e a legislação pertinente. Como principais resultados de pesquisa destaca-se que a PMPR apresenta uma complexa estrutura interna, e modelo de organização identificado como funcional. As medidas de mudanças derivadas da gestão por processos devem sempre considerar a doutrina e a cultura organizacional, com o planejamento de transição estrutural funcional para o orientado ao processo, preservando a sua identidade Institucional.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar através de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, qual a importância do nutricionista em ações de educação alimentar e nutricional no âmbito escolar. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão integrativa com busca dos artigos realizada nas bases de dados Scielo, Lilacs, por meio dos descritores nos idiomas português e inglês: “Nutricionista”, “Educação alimentar e nutricional” e "escola", “Nutritionist’’, "Fodd and nutrition education" AND "School", unidos com o operador booleano “AND". O acesso às bases de dados foi realizado no período de janeiro de 2023. Foram encontrados 46 artigos e após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, restaram 6 artigos. A partir das análises dos artigos, percebeu-se que a atuação do nutricionista para a promoção de práticas alimentares saudáveis baseia-se em prover intervenções voltadas para mudanças de hábitos alimentares. O Nutricionista apresenta-se como um comunicador eficiente sobre alimentação e nutrição no âmbito escolar, capaz de gerar a modificação de comportamentos alimentares. Porém, foi visto que a carga-horária é inconsistente com as atividades programadas, havendo um número insatisfatório de profissionais em relação ao preconizado pela legislação, ocasionando demanda extensa e dificuldades na atuação junto aos educadores.
COMPARAÇÃO DE MÉTODOS DE CÁLCULO PARA ELEMENTOS DE MADEIRA LAMINADA CRUZADA (CLT) SUBMETIDOS À FLEXÃO
Authors: D'Alarme Gimenez Mauro Henrique , Marin Cristiane Prado
Published: April 2023

A madeira laminada cruzada – do inglês Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), é um material pouco usado atualmente no Brasil, mas com uma boa perspectiva num futuro próximo. Trata-se da colagem de pelo menos três camadas de placas de madeira com o sentido de suas fibras perpendiculares entre si (90°). Dessa forma, o material apresenta propriedades viáveis para que seja usado estruturalmente, substituindo materiais mais comuns nessa área, como aço, alvenaria e concreto. Há países em que essa tecnologia já é usada, como Canadá, Estados Unidos e Áustria, e, para isso, foram criadas normas para sua aplicação e dimensionamento. Baseados nas normativas mais usuais, o CLT Handbook (Estados Unidos) e o Pro:Holz (Áustria) possuem destaque e foram a base para o estudo deste artigo. A bibliografia estudada apresenta métodos diferentes para o dimensionamento e, consequentemente, estudo da flexão do CLT: o método gama, método K e “shear analogy”. Tais métodos levam em consideração diferentes aspectos do material, sendo diferentes entre si. Mesmo o método gama sendo o mais usual, possui menos detalhes e pode não ser o mais próximo da realidade, ao contrário do “shear analogy”, que, por sua vez, analisa cada parte do material em estudo, mostrando-se ser mais efetivo.
Difference between Sports and Hobbies
Authors: Arop Arop Deng Kuol
Published: April 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to produce a work that will resolve the problem of neglecting the importance of sports and hobbies vocabulary in our national educational system in South Sudan. It will also work as a catalase of change in the Southern Sudanese system of academic development.

Methodology: A desktop literature review was used for this purpose. The study's relevant seminal references and journal articles were identified using Google Scholar and other database engines.

Findings: The findings revealed that the main problem in learning English in South Sudan is the curriculum's lack of English vocabulary related to Sports and Hobbies. And this results negatively in a flawed educational system in which school leavers are graduated from their schools with little knowledge, if not ignorant, because sports and hobbies knowledge is totally or entirely ignored in setting our curriculum.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy, and Practice: The new idea in this study is to give importance to vocabulary related to sports and hobbies as the shortest way to help learners and indicate the necessity of sports and hobbies to be part of our culture and to pave the road for their existence as part of our national phenomenon. Besides, it will significantly contribute to the actual knowledge of the academic community's current understanding of their subject. Moreover, this research will challenge other research on learning English as a Foreign Language in South Sudan because it looks deeply at the root of this problem. This poorly planned educational system never gives room for new ideas to develop. Besides, this proposal will also provide a solution for ignoring sports and hobbies vocabularies in our educational system and will help inject English vocabulary into our curriculum development. Being the first in South Sudan, this research will significantly help teachers, students, the Ministry of Education, at home, and whoever wants to learn vocabulary related to sports and hobbies. It will also be helpful and reachable for many people learning English as a foreign language. It will also help provide English vocabulary related to sports and hobbies through research in our educational system.
The Diversification Discount: Are Control Mechanisms Less Effective in Diversified Firms?
Authors: Hyder Fawzi , Khoshnoud Mahsa
Published: April 2023

Purpose: This study investigates whether the market value discount experienced by multi-segment, (diversified) firms versus single-segment (focused) firms is associated with relative levels of internal and external governance. The goal is to shed light on the diversification discount by examining the role of internal and external control mechanisms.

Methodology: Using a sample of single- and multi-segment firms over the period 1996-2015, we examine the relationship between firm value, the level of corporate diversification, and different levels of internal and control governance mechanisms. We use multivariate regression analysis to explore whether the effect of internal and external control on firm value varies across focused and diversified firms and whether strong external control substitutes for a lack of internal control.

Findings: Our results indicate a negative correlation between firm value and the level of corporate diversification. Additionally, we find a positive correlation between firm value and the level of internal and external control mechanisms. However, the impact of these control mechanisms is significantly weaker in diversified firms.

Unique Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice: This study provides evidence that agency problems are more pronounced in diversified firms, and that weaker governance is associated with the diversification discount along three dimensions. Firstly, lower levels of internal control have a negative effect on firm value, and this impact is greater for diversified firms. Secondly, external control, as measured by institutional ownership and financial analysts' coverage, is positively related to the value of single-segment firms and, to a lesser extent, multi-segment firms. Lastly, strong external control substitutes for a lack of internal control in single-segment firms but not in diversified firms. This suggests that the role of institutional investors and financial analysts is more restricted under complex operational and informational structure.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to find out the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Individual Psychology (IP) in the reduction of suicide ideation among undergraduate students in the University of Cape Coast.

Methodology: It was a quantitative study using the quasi-experimental research design, specifically, the pre-test, post-test and control group design.   A total of 30 undergraduate students from four colleges of the University of Cape Coast in the Central Region of Ghana were non- randomly assigned to two treatment groups (CBT and IP) and one control group. Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation was used for the collection of data for the study. Both the descriptive (frequency and percentage) and inferential (dependent samples t-test and independent samples t-test) statistics were used to analyse the data at the alpha level of .05.

Findings: The study revealed that CBT and IP are effective in reducing suicide ideation among undergraduate students at University Cape Coast.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: It was recommended that screening for suicide ideation among students be carried out on a regular basis organised by the Counselling Centre. This is with the intention of helping to educate them and creating more awareness on suicide ideation among students thereby bringing in more people per the screening to benefit from the therapies

Constraints faced by dairy farmers for adoption of improved dairy husbandry practices in Valsad district of Gujarat
Authors: Patel P C , Prabhulal Sabapara Ghanshyam
Published: April 2023

A field survey was conducted in Valsad district of Southern Gujarat to identify various constraints perceived by dairy animal owners in adoption of improved dairy husbandry practices. Information was collected from randomly selected 240 dairy animal owners through personal interview with the help of structured interview schedule. The study revealed that high construction cost (96.25%) and lack of own capital (85.83%) were major constraints in housing practices. Lack of awareness about treatment of poor-quality straw to improve its nutritive value (75.42%), non-availability of green fodder round the year (70.42%) and lack of knowledge of balanced ration (60.83%) were major constraints in feeding practices. Low genetic potential of local animals (89.17%), repeat breeding problems in dairy animals (86.67%) and low conception rate through A.I. (60.42%) were major constraints in breeding practices. Non-remunerative price for milk (90.83%), lack of knowledge in clean milk production (88.75%) and high production cost of milk (83.75%) were major constraints in milking practices. High cost of veterinary medicine (82.50%), lack of awareness of deworming of milch animals (63.75%) and lack of awareness about importance of vaccination (60.83%) were major constraints in adoption of improved health care practices. Hence, better extension services along with development of suitable plan could mitigate the constraints faced by the dairy farmers.

The effect of three different bedding material on the locomotor behaviour of horses housed in individual boxes were analysed. Three different groups of horses, with ten horses in each group, were kept on straw bedding, wood shavings and no bedding material for four weeks. A behaviour recording chart was used to not each individual’s behaviour for four hours a day (morning and evening). Recording time for the behaviour like standing on three legs, body stretching, kicking behaviour, walking in the stable, scratching of body with legs and lying behaviour with bedding were generated. Use of straw bedding caused a significantly higher frequency and total duration of standing on three legs (P<0.0001) and lying behaviour (P<0.0001), and shorter fraction of scratching of body with legs and walking in the stable (P<0.7297). The total duration of lying on the straw bedding was significantly higher than on wood shavings and without any bedding material. Straw bedding had many positive influences as it made the animal docile, provided cushioning properties, reduced leg problems and acted as good source of fibre.

Pig production occupies an important place in modern agriculture. Piglets are far less demanding on nutrients as compared to poultry. The experiment was conducted to know the effect of feeding organic and inorganic sources of additional zinc on growth incidences of gut microbial status in piglets. Sixty graded (Large White Yorkshire) suckling piglets were randomly divided into three treatment groups of twenty piglets each based on litter size, parity and live birth weight. Treatment I (T1) served as control and these piglets were fed with deionized water daily as oral suspension. Treatment II (T2) and Treatment III (T3) were fed with fed Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Zinc Methionine (ZnM) daily (50 ppm) as oral suspension. The results of the experiment showed that the incidence of mortality in control (T1), zinc oxide (T2) and zinc methionine (T3) groups were 10, 5 and 0 per cent, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that there was no significant difference between control (T1), zinc oxide (T2) and zinc methionine (T3) groups. Based on the results of the current experiment and the reports available, the importance of supplementation of zinc oxide at higher than the recommended dosage may be considered for maintaining the proper growth, health and production status of piglets.
An outlook on commercial dairy farming in India: A review
Authors: S L Gayathri , M Bhakat , T K Mohanty
Published: April 2023

The most coveted title of "The largest producer of milk in the world" is persistent in the hands of India for several decades. The said title is made possible through the constant efforts made by the Government of India through the implementation of productivity enhancement and development programmes from time to time to upsurge milk production. This paradigm shift in milk production has been contributed by many factors viz., ART with semen of high yielders; awareness of farmers regarding scientific feeding and management; disease control and prevention by vaccination and shifting farmers from traditional rearing to commercial farming etc. Commercial dairy farming is entirely different from the commonly practiced farming activities followed by the villagers who rear few cows. Commercial production is an organized and well-planned venture that provides scientific inputs in breeding, housing, feeding, management, and marketing. Focus on critical analysis regarding the requirements for commercial dairy farming, constraints faced by the commercial farmers, threats and opportunities in the industry and all other relevant aspects are covered in the review for future planning by policy makers. In this review, comparison has been made between developed countries especially USA and India on the status of milch animals, livestock production management strategies adopted etc. in commercializing the dairy industry.

Value added products from under-utilised livestock dairy farm resources (wastes): The possibilities and prospects
Authors: Sastry N S R
Published: April 2023

The major under-utilized resources on livestock farms are the wastes generated as animal dung, urine and  unused or trodden feed and litter wastes like straws. Urine and spent water from washing in milking parlours  constitute the liquid wastes, besides wash water from milk handling yards. Disposal of excreta and other  wastes from animal houses is a bothersome yet crucial activity. Such waste material has a good value  as manure if properly handled. Or, if left not cleared, they can also provide an ideal breeding place for  pathogens and disease carrying insects. The best way is to handle livestock wastes systematically  and produce Value Added Products (VAP) from them in an environment-friendly manner. This is  a big industry already. From the traditional manure, to the cosmetics and medicines, a variety of  such VAPs can be made to enhance the income of the livestock farmers in a sustainable manner;  for such products were recognized by US FDA. These aspects are discussed in this article, which  may be considered as a motivation article, rather than a review.

O presente estudo, buscou avaliar através de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, quais são os principais que podem auxiliar no desenvolvimento das plantas, e como esses microrganismos podem substituir os defensivos agrícolas. Realizou-se uma busca nas bases de dados ScienceDirect (Elsevier), Google Acadêmico (Google Scholar) e Redalyc (Sistema de Información Científica Redalyc), fazendo uso dos termos (“biofertilizers” or “fungi” or “sustainable agriculture”) and (“organic farming” or “fungal consortium” or “fertilizer fungus”), associado ao operador boleano OR e AND. Após a aplicação dos filtros e seleção dos artigos, 16 estudos foram selecionados para integrar a versão final da revisão integrativa (RI). Com os achados da RI, foi possível observar que os alguns estudos se concentram no uso de fungos micorrízicos arbusculares, esses fungos demostram capacidade de fixação de nitrogênio, absorção de fósforo e enxofre, o que auxilia no crescimento e desenvolvimento das plantas, estudos demostraram eficácia frente a plantações de milho e feijão, principalmente quando feito uso do gênero Trichoderma. Dessa forma, a RI contribuiu com novas reflexões acerca do uso de fungos na agricultura.
Macaws, their behavior, and local biodiversity as possible drivers of ecotourism development in Alta Floresta, MT, Brazil
Authors: Cassel Monica
Published: April 2023

The city of Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, has a growing ecotourism industry. It has become a popular destination for birdwatching in the country and represents a hotspot for Amazonian tourism in Mato Grosso State. The region is home to a variety of macaw species. This study therefore sought to determine any associations between species behavior and tourism seasonality in the region. Approximately 50 nests were located in this study through scientific expertise and crowdsourcing. Two species—the blue-and-gold macaw (Ara ararauna) and the red-and-green macaw (A. chloropterus)–were found to engage in feeding and nesting behavior in the city. The nests were located in clean and well-maintained areas near the city center. The most frequent macaw sightings occurred between August and February, a period which coincided with academic and municipal events in the region. These findings may be used to guide strategies for birdwatching and species management, particularly in the case of macaws; they may also aid in environmental conservation efforts for these species’ habitats. This study will ideally be used in the creation of strategies to stimulate tourism in Alta Floresta and the surrounding region, and particularly to support activities focused on birdwatching and local biodiversity.

A qualidade da água depende de diversos fatores e o seu monitoramento serve como um instrumento de suporte para uma política de planejamento e gestão de recursos hídricos. A importância do monitoramento se dá por conta da avaliação de tendências em longo prazo da evolução da qualidade das águas, por meio da análise de variáveis físicas, químicas e biológicas. Essa avaliação faz-se de grande importância, uma vez que a disponibilidade de água em quantidade e qualidade adequada afetam diretamente o modo de vida de uma população. Sendo assim, o objetivo desse estudo é avaliar a qualidade da água do Rio Arroio Grande e da Praia do Pontal por meio da análise de parâmetros físico-químicos e microbiológicos, bem como apresentar o índice de violação das análises investigadas e avaliar quais parâmetros mais interferem na qualidade desses corpos hídricos. Através dos resultados obtidos por esse estudo pode-se concluir que foi possível avaliar a qualidade hídrica dos corpos hídricos aqui estudados. Com base nos métodos propostos, foi possível observar que um grande percentual das amostras ultrapassaram os limites exigidos por lei no que concerne aos resultados de coliformes e fósforo no ponto 1, indicando possível poluição por atividades urbanas e agrícolas. Já para o ponto 2, o fósforo foi o parâmetro que mais ultrapassou os limites exigidos por lei, levando a conclusão de que esse ponto sofre mais influência das atividades agrícolas desenvolvidas em seu entorno.

Published: April 2023

A cenoura (Daucus carota L.) é uma das principais hortaliças cultivada no Brasil e possui elevado valor nutricional, cuja demanda tem crescido expressivamente também em outros países. Normalmente, suas sementes apresentam problemas quanto à germinação e, neste sentido, a utilização de bioestimulantes constitui-se em alternativa para melhorar a expressão do potencial fisiológico. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar a utilização de dosagens de bioestimulante na germinação de sementes de diferentes cultivares de cenoura. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 5 x 4, com sementes de cinco cultivares de cenoura (Alvorada, Brasília, BRS Esplanada, Tellus e Tropical) e quatro dosagens de bioestimulante (0, 5, 10 e 15 mL L-1 de água), com quatro repetições de 50 sementes. As variáveis analisadas foram: germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, comprimento e massa seca de plântula, além de análises bioquímicas do conteúdo de açúcares totais, aminoácidos totais e prolina. Os dados coletados foram submetidos à análise de variância e teste de Tukey e, em caso de significância, os dados foram submetidos à análise de regressão por meio do programa Sisvar®. De maneira geral, a aplicação do bioestimulante (10 e 15 mL) influenciou positivamente a germinação das cultivares de cenoura. As plântulas da cultivar Tropical apresentaram comprimento 40% superior ao tratamento controle. A cultivar Alvorada teve maior acúmulo de metabólitos com a dosagem de 5 mL de bioestimulante.
