Resumo O objetivo é estimar prevalência de componentes da sarcopenia e associações com variáveis socioeconômicas em idosos de população rural do Ceará. Estudo transversal com 274 idosos. Massa muscular foi determinada por Índice de Massa Muscular (IMM) por bioimpedância elétrica e por circunferência da panturrilha; força muscular (FM) por teste de preensão palmar; e desempenho físico por testes da caminhada (VC) e Timed-up-and-go. Provável sarcopenia foi caracterizada por diminuição da FM, sarcopenia quando associada a diminuição do IMM, e sarcopenia grave quando estes dois foram acompanhados de baixa VC. Foram estimadas associações entre condições sociodemográficas, hábitos de vida e componentes da sarcopenia. Na regressão logística, foi observada frequência mais elevada: i) no sexo masculino, idade>69 anos, e nos que não trabalham, entre os idosos com FM diminuída; ii) com idade>69 anos, nos que não moram com o cônjuge, e nos que não praticam atividade física num nível adequado, entre os idosos com IMM diminuído; iii) com idade>69 anos, nos que residem na zona rural há menos que 30 anos, e nos que não trabalham, entre os idosos com VC diminuída.
Mapping digital dating abuse in Brasil and Australia: a review on victimisation experiences from the Global-South
Authors: Ferreira Gisella Lopes Gomes Pinto
Published: November 2023

Abstract Technology plays a key role in young people’s relationships. While its benefits are well known, less is known about its negative impacts and experiences, such as digital dating abuse. Most studies originate from North American and European countries and have not framed digital dating abuse as a multidimensional phenomenon. Exploring this social and public health issue in the Global-South is necessary because it significantly impacts youths’ lives. I use Brown and Hegarty’s framework of digital dating abuse as a wide range of harmful behaviours and a gender perspective to review the extant literature on adolescent victimisation in digital dating abuse in heterosexual relationships from a southern perspective. This perspective is demonstrated by drawing primarily from the scholarship of two countries in the Global-South, Brasil and Australia. I argue that digital dating abuse is a multifaceted and gendered phenomenon and suggest a qualitative approach across multiple southern countries aids researchers to compile and study adolescent digital dating abuse experiences, contexts and impacts. This contemporary phenomenon of adolescent digital dating abuse merits scholarly attention as a social and public health problem.

As novas cartas do Brasil: um e-pistolário dos povos indígenas
Authors: Costa Suzane Lima
Published: November 2023

Resumo Neste artigo, retomo o conceito de epistolarium, proposto por Stanley (2004), e os modos como essa noção encontra na ideia de carta como ato (LEJEUNE, 2008) um lugar/não-lugar de suas formas e inespecificidades para discutir o que seria a criação de um e-pistolário dos povos indígenas a partir de uma leitura crítica do site/arquivo do projeto “As cartas dos povos indígenas ao Brasil”. Para tanto, defino o que estou chamando de e-pistolário indígena e sua diferença em relação a organização de acervos epistolares de escritores consagrados para defender a ideia de que as cartas escritas pelos indígenas são as novas cartas do Brasil: um caminho para uma discussão sobre a arte postal desses povos e o lugar de suas cartas na literatura e na história do Brasil.
Artaud: o umbigo da escrita
Authors: Costa Erick Gontijo
Published: November 2023

Resumo Este ensaio apresenta aspectos da experiência de escrita de Artaud a partir de alguns de seus primeiros textos - O umbigo dos limbos e O Pesa-Nervos -, lidos em companhia da teoria dos sonhos de Freud, da noção de escrita em Lacan e dos conceitos de “ausência de livro” e “ausência de obra” de Blanchot. Paralelamente, formula-se um operador de leitura para a obra do escritor, derivado de aproximações e diferenciações entre literatura e psicanálise: o umbigo da escrita.
What is Rallus rytirhynchos Vieillot, 1819? The true identity of Azara’s (1805) No. 372 Ypacahá del Pardo
Authors: Smith Paul
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT The identity of the bird described from Paraguay by Félix de Azara as No. 372 Ypacahá del Pardo is confirmed as the immature plumage of the Spotted Rail Pardirallus maculatus maculatus (Boddaert, 1783). This description is the basis for the name Rallus rytirhynchos Vieillot, 1819 which is thus a junior subjective synonym and an available name. Rallus rytirhynchos Vieillot, 1819 is the type species of the genus Ortygonax Heine, 1890. Ortygonax Heine, 1890 is a junior subjective synonym of Pardirallus Bonaparte, 1856 and is also available for application.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT: Leptospirosis is a disease that causes economic and social impact, as it affects wild and domestic animals and humans. There may be peculiarities in the epidemiology of this disease in the Caatinga biome, Brazil, where the environment is adverse and the etiologic agent, Leptospira spp., requires alternative transmission routes. Considering that in bovine leptospirosis the genital carrier is constantly neglected and the lack of reports on the role of bulls in the epidemiology of the bovine genital leptospirosis (BGL) syndrome, mainly in semiarid conditions such as Caatinga biome, this study aimed to investigate bulls maintained in Caatinga biome conditions as genital carriers of leptospires. Urinary tract (urine, bladder, and kidney) and reproductive tract (vas deferens, cauda epididymis, and vesicular gland) samples were collected from 42 slaughtered bulls. Microscopic agglutination test (MAT), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and microbiological isolation were included as diagnostic methods. Anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies were found in 17 (40.48%) animals, while 26 animals (61.90%) had at least one organ or urine with leptospiral DNA, and 10 animals (23.81%) were positive at bacteriological culture. Sequenced samples targeting the LipL32 gene showed 99% similarity with Leptospira borgpetersenii. Molecular analysis of samples from the vas deferens and cauda epididymis is recommended for the diagnosis of genital leptospirosis in bulls and, if it is impossible to collect these tissues, semen can be used. In conclusion, this study provides important information relating to bulls from the Caatinga biome, Brazil, as carriers of genital leptospirosis. The results indicate that, even under adverse environmental conditions, leptospires may survive and propagate, mainly due to the characteristic of genital carriers for the sexually spreading of adapted Leptospira species without influence by external variables. Thus, prevention and control strategies for bovine leptospirosis need to include actions aimed at the genital carrier.

What Makes Risk Communication Efficient? The Stakeholder View
Authors: Oliveira Uilians Vieira de , Costa Rosangela Calado da , Freitas Juliana Gardenalli de
Published: November 2023

Abstract Environmental risk communication comprises an essential step in contaminated sites management, being one of its basic principles. However, there are few studies and technical guidelines on how to perform risk communication. This research aimed to identify the main factors that can contribute to efficient risk communication from the stakeholders’ perspective: those affected or potentially affected by the risks, representatives of institutions responsible for risk communication, environmental agencies, and consultants. To achieve that, the Q technique, a methodology specialized in the study of people and their subjectivities, was applied to 24 individuals. Five factors representing the stakeholders’ perspectives were identified: 1 - Trust; 2 - Secure communication; 3 - Dialogue; 4 - Partnership; and 5 - Health, in addition to a set of consensual information between all groups. Concern for the health of those involved was the most important point of view for most participants.
Are forest transitions associated with the international trade of agricultural commodities?
Authors: Oliveira Camila Espezio de , Tambosi Leandro Reverberi , Calaboni Adriane , Sinisgalli Paulo Antônio de Almeida , Ueno Helene Mariko , Igari Alexandre Toshiro
Published: November 2023

Abstract Critics of the forest transition theory suggest that it occurs through the displacement of agricultural production abroad while exporting countries suffer agricultural expansion and deforestation. Other studies refute the idea of international trade as the main connection between the occurrence of the forest transition in importing countries and the advance of agricultural frontiers and deforestation in producing countries. Considering this divergence, we assessed whether international trade in agricultural commodities is associated with forest growth in importing countries and deforestation in exporting countries. Data on exports and imports of soy and palm oil among the leading countries in this market were confronted with their historical variation of forest cover between 1990 and 2020. The results suggest that global soy and palm oil markets significantly connect the exporting regions to importing countries that undergo forest transition.

Authors: Ottoni Marianna , Rovere Emilio Lèbre La , Pereira Junior Amaro Olimpio , Xavier Lúcia Helena
Published: November 2023

Resumo Placas de Circuito Impresso Residuais (PCIR) possuem elementos valiosos. Nos países em desenvolvimento, as PCIR são exportadas para tratamento pela ausência de recicladoras apropriadas, transferindo o alto valor agregado para os países desenvolvidos. Este estudo propôs um método para identificar os melhores locais para implantação de usinas de reciclagem de PCIR considerando critérios de sustentabilidade. O método foi aplicado ao Brasil e consistiu na análise estadual e municipal com base em 11 indicadores relacionados às dimensões da sustentabilidade, critérios logísticos e geoprocessamento. Os resultados sugeriram o estado de São Paulo (SP) como o principal polo de processamento de PCIR no Brasil, com geração estimada de quase 24 t/d, e São Caetano do Sul e Jundiaí como os principais municípios favoráveis à reciclagem de PCIR. Este estudo demonstrou que a logística sustentável para recuperação de valor das PCIR em países em desenvolvimento é possível e desejável para alcançar padrões mais circulares.

Published: November 2023

Abstract The socio-economic-environmental performance indicators have proved to be an important tool for monitoring and deciding in the management of cities, aiming at a more sustainable urban development. ISO 37120 represents a milestone in the standardization of sustainability indicators, enabling the comparison between different locations. The purpose of this study is to apply ISO 37120 to Rio de Janeiro and to analize both this process and the city’s performance in the Latin American scenario. There was an extensive documentary research to calculate the indicators of Rio de Janeiro. The comparison was made among Latin American cities that already had applied the standard and was based on standardized core indicators grouped according to sustainability axes. The application of the standard revealed weaknesses in obtaining data for Rio de Janeiro and managed to identify the city’s strengths and weaknesses in comparison with the others.
Zonas de Sacrificio y Recuperación Socioambiental en Chile: Fallas y oportunidades de la política ambiental
Authors: Pinto Alexander Panez , García Paola Bolados , Almonacid Luis Espinoza , Henríquez Bárbara Jerez
Published: November 2023

Resumen En este artículo analizamos los Planes de Recuperación Social y Ambiental implementados por el Estado de Chile en las comunas denominadas zonas de sacrificio. Desde los aportes de la justicia ambiental y los debates respecto a la participación y la gobernanza que esta política involucra, damos cuenta de las contradicciones y dificultades para la transformación de los territorios dañados por la intensificación de actividades extractivistas, principalmente minero-energéticas. Concluimos mostrando cómo estas limitaciones y fallas de la política estatal ambiental se relacionan con la disociación de lo ambiental y social, -a través de la subvaloración de esta última-; la comprensión instrumental de la participación como una herramienta tecno-burocrática para fines estatales; y las tensiones generadas por un modelo de gobernanza ambiental neoliberal. Finalmente planteamos la necesidad de pensar el concepto de zona de sacrificio vinculado a la recuperación socioambiental como propuesta desde los territorios para la transición hacia zonas de recuperación.
Sacrifice Zones and Socio-environmental Recovery in Chile: Failures and opportunities of the environmental policy
Authors: Pinto Alexander Panez , García Paola Bolados , Almonacid Luis Espinoza , Henríquez Bárbara Jerez
Published: November 2023

Abstract In this article we analyze the Social and Environmental Recovery Plans implemented by the State of Chile in the communes called sacrifice zones. From the contributions of environmental justice and the debates regarding participation and governance that this policy involves, we account for the contradictions and difficulties for the transformation of territories damaged by the intensification of extractivist activities, mainly mining-energy. We conclude by showing how these limitations and failures of state environmental policy are related to the dissociation of the environmental and social, -through the undervaluation of the latter-; the instrumental understanding of participation as a techno-bureaucratic tool for state purposes; and the tensions generated by a neoliberal environmental governance model. Finally, we propose the need to think about the concept of sacrifice zone linked to socio-environmental recovery as a proposal from the territories for the transition towards recovery zones.

Authors: Gusmão Maria Brennda Ferreira de , Oliveira Vinícius Vital de , Santos Natália Maria da Silva , Melo Luciana Costa
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the impact of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate on bone mineral density and bone mineral content in children and adolescents infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Data source: The search procedure was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement. The search was carried out until April 2022 in Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline), Embase, Cochrane Central, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Web of Science, Scopus, and MedRxiv. The combination of terms used was: (Children OR Youth OR Teenagers) AND HIV AND (Tenofovir OR “Antiretroviral therapy”) AND (“Bone density” OR Osteoporosis OR Osteopenia). The protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, CRD42022312851) Data synthesis: The initial searches resulted in 1156 papers. After the exclusion of duplicate studies, three blinded reviewers analyzed the title and abstract of 563 papers, of which 57 remained to be read in full. Only nine papers met the eligibility criteria and were included in descriptive and risk-of-bias analyses. Regarding study design, four were cross-sectional, three were longitudinal before-after studies without a control group, and two were prospective cohorts. Among these nine papers, seven showed no significant association between tenofovir disoproxil fumarate use and reduced bone mass in young people. However, these papers did not have high methodological quality. Conclusions: Although most of the selected papers found no harmful effect of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate on bone mass, further primary research with higher methodological quality is needed so robust scientific evidences can be obtained.

Published: November 2023

Abstract: Quinoa has been recognized as the sole “comprehensive nutritional crop”; however, it is susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). While quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been extensively employed for gene expression level detection, the selection of suitable reference genes is imperative to ensure precise gene expression quantification across diverse conditions. This study aims to identify stable reference genes in quinoa seeds under ABA and GA, in order to provide a basis for subsequent research on PHS. Seeds were subjected to different concentrations of ABA and GA (10 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM, and 200 μM). The most suitable treatment concentration was determined based on seed viability. Here, MON1, GAPDH, EIF3, EF1α, ACT, TUB1, and TUB6 were selected as candidate genes. The suitability of these reference genes under different conditions was assessed using various methods including Ct values, geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, Delta Ct, and RefFinder. Based on the results obtained from the hormone experiments, it was observed that the application of 100 μM ABA and 200 μM GA yielded the most advantageous outcomes. Additionally, the most appropriate reference genes for different treatments are ACT and TUB1 (H2O treatment), EIF3 and MON1 (ABA, GA treatment and also for the combined data set of the three groups). However, GAPDH exhibited the least stability across all treatments. In summary, ACT is recommended as the reference gene for natural quinoa germination, while EIF3 and MON1 should be used for ABA and GA treatments.

Published: November 2023

Abstract Purpose To present evidence of intra- and inter-rater reliability and internal consistency of the Phonological Assessment Instrument scores, so that it can be considered reliable and valid for use in clinical practice. Methods 179 audio recordings of the instrument's speech samples were analyzed. The collection was carried out from its application in the period of 5 months in children aged from five to eight years and 11 months. Three expert judges transcribed the speech production of each child into the software, which generated performance reports. The speech data of each child were compared between these evaluators, who were trained and experienced in phonetic transcription, to verify the agreement of the instrument scores. For the reliability analysis, the internal consistency was verified using Cronbach's Alpha and the intra and inter-rater reliability using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. Results The Phonological Assessment Instrument showed evidence of high internal consistency, with scores indicating excellent reliability for the assessment of Brazilian Portuguese phonemes, as well as adequate agreement among the judges regarding the instrument scores. Conclusion The instrument presented robust evidence of reliability, being a reliable and safe option to be used in Brazilian research and clinical practice to evaluate the phonological system of Brazilian children.

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare the speech and voice patterns of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients over four years, and correlate the results with clinical aspects of the disease. Methods Data was collected for 4 years. The clinical assessment tools included the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score, the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) clinical classification, and the Myasthenia Gravis Quality of Life 15-item Scale (MG-QoL). To assess speech, the recorded speaking tasks were analyzed acoustically and given auditory-perceptual ratings. Sex (equal distribution) and age (p=0.949) were used as matching criteria in the final sample, which consisted of 10 individuals in the MG group (MGG) and 10 individuals in the control group (CG). Results After 4 years, the MG participants presented stable health status, increased mild and moderate dysarthria (from 40% to 90% of the subjects), and a significant deterioration in the respiration, phonation, and articulation subsystems. The acoustic analysis showed a decline in articulatory patterns (speech rate p=0.047, articulation rate p=0.007, mean syllable duration p=0.007) and vocal quality (increased jitter p=0.022). In the follow-up comparison, there was a significant difference between the phonation variables (shimmer and harmonic-to-noise ratio) of the MGG and CG. Conclusion The MG patients presented a decline in speech over four years and an increase in mild and moderate dysarthria. Despite presenting stable health status, their respiratory, phonatory, and articulatory subsystems worsened. There was no correlation between speech patterns and clinical characteristics of the disease (severity and motor scale).

Mediante o desenvolvimento de um livro de códigos e realização de testes de confiabilidade, 49 trabalhos foram selecionados e analisados em relação a informações sobre (a) bases utilizadas; (b) termos de busca; (c) delimitação temporal (quantidade de anos); (d) número de trabalhos analisados; (e) critérios de inclusão e/ou exclusão; (f) replicabilidade; (g) confiabilidade. Os principais resultados indicam uma reduzida preocupação dos trabalhos analisados em incorporar ou reportar procedimentos responsivos à confiabilidade (n=3). Por outro lado, a maior parte dos estudos (n=40) mostrou-se, em linhas gerais, replicável. A principal inovação e contribuição desta pesquisa consistiu em propor e testar um procedimento de incremento da confiabilidade das revisões sistemáticas mediante consulta aos autores dos trabalhos revisados. Destaca-se, para além do caráter inovador de tal procedimento, os ganhos epistêmicos por ele trazidos. Discute-se, ao final, as implicações dos resultados para pesquisas futuras, indicando os possíveis ganhos que as estratégias metodológicas concebidas e testadas neste trabalho oferecem para balizar o rigor metodológico das revisões sistemáticas de literatura.

Resumo O presente trabalho buscou realizar uma análise do relatório técnico da Capes, sobre avaliação de produtos técnicos e tecnológicos, produzido pelo grupo de trabalho responsável, em 2019, com o objetivo de avaliar sua adequação instrumental. Para nossas análises, utilizamos a literatura que aborda as características que, necessariamente, devem estar presentes em relatórios técnicos ou tecnológicos, dando suporte às nossas conclusões. Como resultado, identificamos evidências de que o relatório técnico da Capes não reúne as condições necessárias para figurar como um instrumento viável à uma aplicação na análise de outros relatórios técnicos.
Public Policies for Financial Education: From Historical Processes to Practical Actions in Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Bufalo Daniela Cristina Lourenço , Pinto Rafael Ângelo Bunhi
Published: November 2023

Abstract In current times, the importance of financial education has gained prominence in discussions held within multilateral organizations and governments around the world, with the purpose of building a society that is aware of the impact of their actions as individual financial agents in global society, through education. In this environment, the general objective of this article is to discuss the conception of financial education as public in Brazil, tracing a mapping of the main practical actions in higher education, after the implementation of the National Strategy for Financial Education (ENEF). As for the methodology, a bibliographical survey is carried out of the scientific works published and made available on the Capes Portal and SciELO-Brasil platforms, in the period between 2011 and 2021, which address financial education as a public policy in the context of higher education. As a result, it is perceived that higher education students have largely been excluded from public policies related to this topic and Universities have acted timidly as disseminators of financial literacy and production of scientific knowledge, through academic publications that can contribute to the enhancement and expansion of ENEF's reach.
Identifying Critical Vegetation Types for Biodiversity Conservation in the Americas

The Americas contain highly biodiverse yet vulnerable ecosystems, with many threatened species inadequately protected. Finer-scale, localized habitat assessments are crucial for effective conservation planning, but continental-scale high-resolution vegetation maps remain limited. This study addresses this gap by identifying critical vegetation types across the Americas using the standardized framework of the International Vegetation Classification (IVC) system at the macrogroup level, representing the finest vegetation classification available across the region, as well as the highest-resolution Area of Habitat (AOH) maps currently available. By combining these high-resolution IVC macrogroup maps with detailed AOH maps, we highlight at-risk vegetation types based on 1) threatened and macrogroup-associated species (species that have at least 50% of their AOH in one macrogroup), 2) current protection levels, and 3) projected threats from land use changes, and 4) develop a conservation value index (CVI) that accounts for all these factors. The results highlighted the remarkable diversity of high conservation value macrogroups across the Americas, emphasizing their significance in regions such as the Andes, montane Mesoamerica, the Caribbean, Brazil's Cerrado, and the Atlantic Forest. Among the highest-scoring macrogroups, the Northern Andean Montane & Upper Montane Humid Forest emerged as critically important, harboring a high number of threatened and macrogroup-associated species. Other macrogroups of immediate conservation concern include the Brazilian Atlantic Montane Humid Forest, Pacific Mesoamerican Seasonal Dry Forest, Caribbean Lowland Humid Forest, and Central Midwest Oak Forest, Woodland and Savanna. However, the study revealed that nearly three-quarters of the over 300 macrogroups in the Americas fall below the global target of 30% protection. Notably, a fifth of all species were macrogroup-associated species, including over 40% of threatened species. Our findings emphasize the need for targeted conservation strategies that consider finer-scale habitat classifications and paired with high-quality species distribution data to guide conservation strategies for biodiversity across the Americas.
Prediction of energy performance of residential buildings using regularised neural models

Human habitats are one of the major consumers of energy. Therefore, in the current age of increasing carbon dioxide footprints, analysing energy efficiency of a building is important and is the subject of the current study. Machine-learning-based artificial neural network (ANN) approaches are used in the current study to investigate building energy performance. Eight parameters – relative compactness, surface area, wall area, roof area, overall height and orientation of the building, as well as the glazing area and its distribution – are selected as the input parameters and heating and cooling loads (CLs) as the output parameters. The network prediction capability was checked by comparing the predictions of the ANN architecture with the benchmark test case. A well-trained and validated ANN is used to predict 96 conditions by varying glazing area and glazing area distribution. The ANN is found to capture the physics efficiently. This study revealed that there is a significant potential to improve the energy efficiency of a building and the maximum saving in the CL can be as high as 20.67% for a fraction of the glazing areas equal to 0.15 if the glazing area distribution is 32.5% in the north and 22.5% each in the east, south and west.

POST-CAPITALISM IN THE POLITICAL THEORIES OF THE MODERN LEFT: ORIGINS, MODERNITY, PERSPECTIVES
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Shefer A. A.
Published: November 2023

This analytical review explores the contemporary political theories of the modern left. The subject of the study is the theory of post-capitalism - a set of ideas and currents that analyze the prerequisites for the transformation of capitalism into a new stage of socio-economic relations in perspective. The relevance of the topic is confirmed by the intensifying global crisis that devalues the neoliberal system. Against this background, the problems of further development of world politics and economics become particularly acute. The review targetted to examine the political theories of the contemporary Left through the prism of their view on the development of post-capitalist formation, as well as to compare similar views in classical Marxists. The study shows a trend of crisis in contemporary leftist thought (primarily in the West) and its transformation into anarchism, leftist libertarianism, alterglobalism, etc. Generally speaking, contemporary leftist theorists and activists see the construction of a formation following capitalism through the creation of networks of local communities that have no vertical control. Also, one of the main principles of the new system of relations is the complete abolition of human labour and its replacement by robotic production. The human being is supposed to switch to an Absolute Basic Income, a stable social payment.
