Resumo O estudo analisa a elaboração de respostas para o enfrentamento da pandemia da COVID-19 na América Latina. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com base em análise de documentos, dados e medidas políticas adotadas ou anunciadas entre março e dezembro de 2020 em 14 países latino-americanos. A análise compreendeu a apreciação de teor, conteúdo e abrangência das medidas políticas para contenção e mitigação sanitárias e para a reorganização dos serviços de saúde identificadas nos sites governamentais. Complementarmente, incluiu-se indicadores quantitativos demográficos e relativos à situação epidemiológica e resultado do Sringency index. No geral, as respostas dos países latino-americanos foram heterogêneas, apesar de multisetoriais, caracterizando a complexidade e diversidade decisória frente à pandemia. Conclui-se que ainda há muito a refletir sobre as consequências das fragilidades normativas para a consecução das necessidades multidimensionais durante crises sanitárias.
Oral cancer care in the “Metropolitan I” health region in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: enabling and constraining factors
Authors: Lima Fernando Lopes Tavares de , O’Dwyer Gisele
Published: March 2023

Abstract The aim was to identify constraining and enabling factors related to the organization of health care networks that influence access to oral cancer diagnosis and treatment. A case study in the “Metropolitan I” health region using data collected from health information systems and 26 semi-structured interviews with health managers and professionals. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and strategic conduct analysis, drawing on the theory of structuration proposed by Giddens. The findings reveal that coverage of oral health care in primary care services is generally low and prioritizes specific groups and urgent cases, hampering access to oral cancer diagnosis. While the presence of a network of secondary care services in the municipalities that make up the health region facilitates diagnosis, there are major barriers to treatment. Informal partnerships established with dental schools play an important role in diagnosis, but do not receive funding. The regulation of appointments for diagnosis was not restrictive. In contrast, the regulation of referrals for treatment lacked transparency, was subject to long delays, and shortage of places. Despite advances, constraining factors related to structure and the actions of agents involved in the care process persist, hampering the timely diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer.

Resumo O estudo objetivou investigar a prevalência de insegurança alimentar no contexto da COVID-19 e sua associação com o programa de transferência de renda Auxílio Emergencial e o recebimento de doação de alimentos na população em vulnerabilidade social. Estudo transversal, realizado com famílias em vulnerabilidade social, oito meses após a confirmação do primeiro caso de COVID-19 no Brasil. Foram incluídas 903 famílias, residentes em 22 aglomerados subnormais de Maceió, em Alagoas. Avaliaram-se características sociodemográficas e foi aplicada a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar. A associação da insegurança alimentar com as variáveis estudadas foi realizada por meio de regressão de Poisson com estimativa robusta das variâncias, considerando α = 5%. Do total da amostra, 71,1% estavma em insegurança alimentar, situação que se associou com o recebimento de doação de alimentos (RP = 1,14, IC95%: 1,02; 1,27) e ser beneficiário do Auxílio Emergencial (RP = 1,23, IC95%: 1,01; 1,49). Os resultados mostram que a população em vulnerabilidade social foi fortemente afetada pela insegurança alimentar. Em contrapartida, essa população foi beneficiada por ações que foram implementadas no início da pandemia.

Published: March 2023

Resumo Uma atenção à saúde resolutiva e integral em municípios rurais remotos (MRR) cobra uma Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) com forte dimensão comunitária, ancorada no território. O artigo visa analisar o perfil de atuação dos médicos na APS, considerando seu trabalho tanto no território quanto na unidade básica de saúde (UBS). A perspectiva dos médicos, agentes críticos na APS, contribui para compreender se ocorre oferta equânime e integral da APS. Foi realizado estudo qualitativo em 27 MRR, com entrevista a 46 médicos da Saúde da Família. Análise de conteúdo, estruturando-se os resultados nas dimensões de arranjos na atuação dos médicos nos territórios e organização das atividades na UBS. Os médicos centravam suas atividades nas UBS, principalmente nas sedes dos MRR com acordos de trabalho heterogêneos. O conhecimento sobre características do território e da população era frágil, sobretudo aqueles adscritos longe das sedes municipais. Nas raras ações no território, observou-se um modelo itinerante e/ou campanhista, com a marca da descontinuidade. A demanda espontânea foi priorizada em detrimento de ações de acompanhamento e planejamento do cuidado. Os achados indicam a necessidade de se reforçar a interação com o território na oferta de serviços de APS em MRR.
Doctors’ Work in Primary Health Care in remote rural municipalities: where is the territory?
Authors: Franco Cassiano Mendes , Giovanella Lígia , Bousquat Aylene
Published: March 2023

Abstract Resolute and comprehensive health care in remote rural municipalities (RRMs) requires Primary Health Care (PHC) with a strong community dimension anchored in the territory. This paper aims to analyze the performance profile of doctors in PHC, considering their work both in the territory and in PHC units. The perspective of doctors, critical agents in PHC, contributes to understanding whether there is an equitable and comprehensive availability of PHC. A qualitative study was carried out in 27 RRMs, with interviews with 46 Family Health doctors. Content analysis, structuring results in dimensions of arrangements in the performance of doctors in the territories and the organization of activities at the PHC units. Doctors concentrated their activities in the PHC units, primarily in municipal headquarters, with heterogeneous work agreements. Knowledge about the characteristics of the territory and the population was weak, especially those assigned at a considerable distance from municipal headquarters. In the rare work conducted within the territory, an itinerant and/or campaigning model was observed, with the mark of discontinuity. Walk-in patients were prioritized over care actions of follow-up and planning. The findings indicate the need to reinforce interaction with the territory in the provision of PHC services in RRMs.

Resumo O artigo tem como objetivo estimar a incidência e o agravamento do problema de coluna (PC) durante a primeira onda da COVID-19 no Brasil, bem como investigar os fatores demográficos, socioeconômicos e as mudanças nas condições de vida associadas. Utilizou-se a ConVid - Pesquisa de Comportamentos, realizada entre abril e maio de 2020, como fonte de dados. Estimou-se o número e a distribuição dos entrevistados que desenvolveram PC e a dos que tiveram agravamento no problema preexistente, seus intervalos de 95% de confiança e o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson. Estimou-se também a razão de chance de desenvolver PC ou ter piora de problema preexistente por meio de modelos de regressão logística múltipla. O PC preexistente foi reportado por 33,9% (IC95% 32,5-35,3) dos entrevistados e mais da metade (54,4%; IC95% 51,9-56,9) teve piora do quadro. A incidência cumulativa de PC na primeira onda da pandemia foi de 40,9% (IC95% 39,2-42,7). Ser mulher, o aumento percebido do trabalho doméstico e o sentimento frequente de tristeza ou depressão foram associados a ambos os desfechos. Os fatores socioeconômicos não foram associados a nenhum dos desfechos. A alta incidência e agravamento do PC durante a primeira onda revelam a necessidade de estudos em períodos mais recentes, dada a longa duração da pandemia.

Published: March 2023

Abstract The behaviors related to caloric balance during pregnancy can lead to short- and long-term repercussion over the life course. This study aimed to identify patterns of energy balance-related behavior (EBRB) and its association with food insecurity (FI) in pregnant women. Cross-sectional, with pregnant women undergoing prenatal care in public health units in Colombo, Brazil, in 2018/2019. EBRB patterns were identified by factor analysis, and the scores were compared according to FI levels (mild and moderate/severe (M/S) through quantile regression. Four EBRB patterns were identified among 535 pregnant women: Factor 1- household/caregiving activities, exercise/sport, and physical inactivity; Factor 2 - fruits and vegetables; Factor 3 - paid work and commuting; Factor 4 - soda and sweetened beverage, sweets, and goodies. After adjusted analyses, women with mild FI presented higher scores for Factor 1 and lower scores for Factor 3. Higher scores for Factor 4 (p25) were observed among women with mild FI in simultaneous quantile regression. M/S FI was associated with lower scores for Factor 3 (p75). Mixed patterns with factors negatively and positively associated with energy balance were identified among pregnant women with FI.

Published: March 2023

Resumo Objetivo: o atendimento centrado na família durante procedimentos invasivos tem sido endossado por muitas organizações profissionais de saúde. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as atitudes dos profissionais de saúde em relação à presença dos pais durante o procedimento invasivo realizado em seus filhos. Método: os prestadores de serviços de saúde pediátricos (divididos em categorias profissionais e faixa etária) de um dos maiores hospitais da Espanha foram solicitados a preencher um questionário e escrever comentários de texto livre. Resultados: a pesquisa foi respondida por 227 pessoas. A maioria (72%) dos participantes, em suas respostas, relatou que os pais algumas vezes estão presentes durante as intervenções, embora houvesse diferenças entre as categorias profissionais a esse respeito. Os procedimentos em que os pais estavam presentes eram aqueles considerados “menos invasivos” (96% dos casos), enquanto apenas 4% estavam presentes naqueles considerados “mais invasivos”. Quanto mais velho o profissional, a presença dos pais foi considerada menos necessária. Conclusão: as atitudes em relação à presença dos pais durante o procedimento pediátrico invasivo são influenciadas pela categoria profissional, a idade do prestador de serviço de saúde e a invasividade do procedimento.

Resumen Objetivo: analizar los impactos psicosociales de la pandemia de COVID-19 en mujeres brasileñas de asentamientos rurales. Método: se trata de un estudio longitudinal cuantitativo con 13 mujeres asentadas. Los datos se recolectaron entre enero de 2020 y septiembre de 2021 mediante cuestionarios sobre percepción del entorno social (calidad de vida, apoyo social, autoeficacia), síntomas de trastorno mental común y aspectos sociodemográficos. Los datos se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva, análisis de conglomerados y análisis de varianza. Resultados: se identificaron condiciones de vulnerabilidad entrelazadas que posiblemente exacerbaron los desafíos impuestos por la pandemia. El dominio físico de la calidad de vida fluctuó de manera diferente e inversa de acuerdo a los síntomas del trastorno mental. En cuanto al dominio psicológico, al final del segmento, se identificó un aumento en el tiempo en toda la muestra, dado que la percepción de las mujeres era mejor que antes de la pandemia. Conclusión: hay que destacar el empeoramiento de la salud física de las participantes que, probablemente, puede estar relacionado con la dificultad para acceder a los servicios de salud durante ese período y el miedo al contagio. A pesar de eso, las participantes fueron resilientes emocionalmente durante todo el período e, inclusive, tuvieron signos de mejoría en los aspectos psicológicos, lo que sugiere un posible efecto de la organización comunitaria del asentamiento.

Published: March 2023

Abstract Objective: to analyze the psychosocial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic among Brazilian women from rural settlements. Method: this is a quantitative and longitudinal study conducted with 13 settled women. The data were collected between January 2020 and September 2021 using questionnaires on the perception of the social environment (quality of life, social support, self-efficacy), common mental disorder symptoms and sociodemographic aspects. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis and variance analysis. Results: intersecting vulnerability conditions were identified that possibly intensified the challenges arising from the pandemic. The Quality of Life physical domain fluctuated differently and inversely according to the mental disorder symptoms. As for the psychological domain, at the end of the segment, an increase over time was identified in the entire sample, as the women’s perception was better than before the pandemic. Conclusion: worsening of the participants’ physical health deserves to be highlighted and, probably, it can be related to the difficulty accessing health services in this period as well as to the fear of contamination. Despite this, the participants were emotionally resilient throughout the period, including signs of improvement in terms of psychological aspects, suggesting a possible effect of the community organization of the settlement.

Abstract Objective: to build and validate a clinical simulation scenario on hospital nurse managerial decision-making competence for undergraduate nursing students. Method: a descriptive and methodological study was carried out in a higher education institution, with the participation of 10 judges and five players. To do so, the conceptual simulation model proposed by Jeffries and standards of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning were used to prepare the scenario and the checklist. Results: the scenario was called “Managerial decision-making of nurses in the face of adverse events in a hospital”. The scenario script and checklist were built for validation. The checklist was face- and content-validated. Afterward, judges used the checklist to validate the scenario, which, in its final version, was composed of Prebriefing (seven items), Scenario in Action (18 items) and Debriefing (seven items). Conclusion: the scenario proved to be a teaching strategy that anticipates the reality of future nurses, bringing them the self-confidence to perform their activities and helping them to act critically and reflectively during decision-making processes.

Published: March 2023

Abstract Objective: to evaluate evidence on risk factors for the development of surgical site infection in bariatric surgery. Method: integrative review. The search for primary studies was performed in four databases. The sample consisted of 11 surveys. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using tools proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Data analysis and synthesis were performed in a descriptive manner. Results: surgical site infection rates ranged from 0.4% to 7.6%, considering the results of primary studies, in which patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. In surveys of participants undergoing surgical procedures with different approaches (open, laparoscopic or robotic), infection rates ranged from 0.9% to 12%. Regarding the risk factors for the development of this type of infection, antibiotic prophylaxis, female sex, high Body Mass Index and perioperative hyperglycemia are highlighted. Conclusion: conducting the integrative review generated a body of evidence that reinforces the importance of implementing effective measures for the prevention and control of surgical site infection, by health professionals, after bariatric surgery, promoting improved care and patient safety in the perioperative period.

Published: March 2023

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the association between intimate partner physical violence (IPPV) and inadequate gestational weight gain (GWG). Methods: cross-sectional study composed of 554 women who attended four Basic Health Units in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 2005 and 2009. The GWG was calculated through the difference between the final weight of pregnancy and pre-gestational weight. For the measurement of IPPV, the Portuguese version of the Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS-1) was used. Data analysis was based on multinomial logistic regression models, estimating odds ratios and respective 95% confidence intervals for associations between the variables of interest. Results: the prevalence of minor and severe IPPV was 31.6% and 16.3%, respectively. Almost two-thirds of the women had insufficient or excessive GWG. After adjusting the model, it was observed that the presence of IPPV increased by 1.66 (CI95%=1.05-2.64) times the chances of insufficient GWG, compared to couples who did not experience this type of violence. Concerning the excessive GWG, the associations with IPPV were not statistically significant. Conclusion: women who experience IPPV in their relationships are more likely to have insufficient GWG during pregnancy. From this perspective, prenatal care becomes an essential service for screening domestic violence and its possible repercussions.

Published: March 2023

Abstract: Capability analysis seeks to estimate the probability that a process will produce compliant products. The capability indices are dimensionless parameters that measure how well the process can meet specifications. In the literature, eight capability indices are listed, among others, considering a stable process under statistical control and based on the normal probability distribution, defined by: Cp, Pp, Cpk, Ppk, Cpm, Ppm, Cpmk, and Ppmk. Basically, the index formulas differ in the calculations of the variability within and total, and of the shifts of the mean in relation to the nominal value and the nearest specification limit. The objective of this article was to compare these capacity indexes, and for that, it was chosen the most consistent estimator, that is, the one that improved the accuracy and efficiency as the number of observations increased. Thus, a simulation of 30,000 values of a normal random variable with a mean equal to zero and a standard deviation equal to one was performed. This made it possible to sample this process 1,000 times using 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 rational subgroups with individual observations or sample elements. Subsequently, 20 mean shifts were provoked, with values ranging from 0.1 to 2 and varying by 0.1 unit. According to the results, it was concluded that the indexes Cpk and Ppk were the most consistent in presenting higher accuracy and efficiency for at least 15 rational subgroups or sample elements, regardless of the magnitude of the mean displacement in relation to the nominal value.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT The cultivation of fruit trees is influenced by abiotic factors such as nutritional management. However, fertilizers are used in large amounts in vineyards, resulting in excess nutrients that can cause stress and reduce fruit quality. Calcium (Ca) is one of the most used nutrients in vineyards due to its effects on fruit quality. However, excess of Ca interferes with the distribution of Ca compounds in fruits, being a form of abiotic stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the nutritional balance of table grape orchards on calcium nutrition and fruit quality. Nineteen table grape orchards were selected in the Submédio São Francisco Valley in 2019 and 2020 crops. The nutritional diagnosis was performed using the integrated diagnosis and recommendation system (DRIS) and the average nutritional balance index (NBIm) was calculated. The concentration of Ca-pectate, Ca-total, berry firmness, soluble solids, titratable acidity, soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio and dry matter were determined in the fruits. The nutritional diagnosis identified excess Ca in the orchards. The correlation between Ca-pectate and the average NBIm was negative, indicating that the Ca-pectate concentration is higher in vines that are more nutritionally unbalanced. However, the Ca-total in the fruit was not correlated with Ca-pectate. Ca-total and Ca-pectate were not correlated with berry firmness. Calcium nutrition is complex and highlights the importance of associating the assessment of nutritional balance with Ca in fruit quality to optimize the nutritional management of the grapevine.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to analyze the feasibility of using thermal images to estimate the water status of melon plants (Cucumis melo L.) in tropical semi-arid climates. The study was conducted in a randomized block design with a split-plot arrangement. The plots comprised of soil cover (with and without mulching), and subplots were constructed using five irrigation regimes (120, 100, 80, 60, and 40% crop evapotranspiration), with five replicates. The following variables were evaluated: canopy temperature (Tcanopy), leaf water potential, air temperature (Tair), soil moisture, crop yield, and thermal index (ΔT), which is defined as the difference between Tcanopy and Tair. ΔT exhibited high correlations with crop yield and water consumption, indicating that thermography is an efficient tool for identifying the water status of melon plants, which could be employed for proper irrigation scheduling under tropical semi-arid scenarios. Moreover, thermal images identified the beneficial effects of soil cover on leaf water status and crop yield, primarily under moderate deficit irrigation. These results demonstrate that mulching is essential for increasing melon yield and water productivity in tropical regions.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT Cowpea is a worldwide consumed legume due to its high nutrient concentrations. Selecting genotypes with high nutrient concentrations can contribute to developing biofortified cultivars. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional potential and indicate genotypes of Vigna unguiculata for genetic improvement based on nutritional traits. Forty-three cowpea genotypes belonging to the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal University of Ceará were used in the study. The analyses of dry matter, ash, ether extract, proteins, and minerals (phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, sodium, copper, iron, zinc, manganese, and boron) were performed in triplicate. The data were subjected to analysis of variance, means comparison test, genetic parameters, nutritional quality indexes, and the sum of ranks. Genetic variances predominated concerning environmental variation for the nutrient concentrations of cowpea can be transmitted to future generations. The CE-0151, CE-0189, CE-0207, CE-0228, CE-0248, CE-0542, CE-0685, CE-0686, CE-0796, CE-0997, and CE-1002 genotypes are indicated for selection for continuing the biofortified cowpea breeding program.
Lockup periods during lockdown periods in the context of Brazilian funds
Authors: Malaquias Rodrigo Fernandes , Hernandes Júnior Miguel
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT This article aimed to test the effect of lockup periods on the performance of Brazilian equity funds and multimarket funds, considering the period affected by the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This study contributes to better understanding the effects of redemption restrictions imposed on quotaholders, a relevant subject considering the increase in the number of funds in Brazil. This effect is analyzed with particular focus on the period affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study have implications for individual and professional investors and may also interest large families of Brazilian funds, given that the establishment of lockup periods forms part of a long-term decision. The research has the potential to impact planning in the fund industry, the financial planning of small and large investors, as well as the literature on the subject, motivating the undertaking of new research. The sample was composed of 17,417 Brazilian funds, 13,581 of which were multimarket funds and 3,836 were equity funds, covering the period from January of 2018 to December of 2021. Various subsamples were evaluated for robustness purposes. The hypotheses were tested using a difference-in-difference model operationalized through a panel. Fund performance was estimated every quarter based on the four-factor alpha. The main results of the study reveal that lockup periods were positively associated with fund performance. On the other hand, during the period negatively affected by COVID-19, funds with greater lockup periods did not record better performance than the other funds (considering in the comparison the performance of groups with a shorter lockup and that of the funds before the pandemic), a result that may advance the discussion on the effects of redemption restrictions.

Authors: Malaquias Rodrigo Fernandes , Hernandes Júnior Miguel
Published: March 2023

RESUMO Este artigo teve por objetivo testar o efeito dos períodos de lockup na performance de fundos de ações e de fundos multimercados brasileiros, considerando-se o período afetado pela doença do coronavírus 2019 (covid-19). Esta pesquisa contribui para o melhor entendimento sobre os efeitos de restrições de resgate impostas aos cotistas, assunto que se mostra relevante ao considerarmos o aumento no número de fundos no Brasil. Esse efeito é analisado com particular atenção ao período afetado pela pandemia da covid-19. Os resultados desta pesquisa têm implicações para investidores individuais e profissionais, podendo despertar também o interesse de grandes famílias de fundos brasileiras, tendo em vista que o estabelecimento de períodos de lockup faz parte de uma decisão de longo prazo. A pesquisa tem o potencial de impactar o planejamento na indústria de fundos, o planejamento financeiro de pequenos e grandes investidores e também a literatura sobre o assunto, motivando a realização de novas pesquisas. A amostra foi composta por 17.417 fundos brasileiros, sendo 13.581 fundos multimercados e 3.836 fundos de ações, considerando o período de janeiro/2018 a dezembro/2021. Várias subamostras foram avaliadas para fins de robustez. As hipóteses foram testadas com o uso de um modelo de diferença-em-diferença operacionalizado por meio de um painel. A performance dos fundos foi estimada a cada trimestre com base no alfa de 4 fatores. Os principais resultados do estudo revelam que períodos de lockup mostraram-se positivamente associados com a performance dos fundos. Em contrapartida, durante o período negativamente afetado pela covid-19, fundos com maiores períodos de lockup não registraram melhor performance que os demais fundos (considerando-se na comparação a performance de grupos com menor lockup e a performance dos fundos antes da pandemia), resultado que pode avançar a discussão sobre os efeitos das restrições de resgate.
Os efeitos da cultura nacional na divulgação ambiental: Uma análise entre países
Authors: Pinheiro Alan Bandeira , Oliveira Marcelle Colares , Lozano M. Belén
Published: March 2023

RESUMO Este estudo tem por objetivo responder a seguinte questão de pesquisa: Como a cultura nacional afeta a divulgação ambiental nas economias liberais? Vários estudos anteriores mostraram que as instituições formais, como as características do governo, o sistema financeiro do país, influenciam a divulgação ambiental. No entanto, ainda há uma lacuna na literatura sobre como as instituições informais (a cultura do país) podem influenciar o comportamento das empresas. Os resultados deste estudo proporcionam uma sólida compreensão da divulgação ambiental nas economias liberais. Nessas economias, é usual que as empresas estejam mais interessadas em divulgar informações financeiras e de governança. Assim, analisar a divulgação ambiental nessas empresas apresenta um ganho adicional para a literatura. Os gestores podem usar nossos achados para compreender como a cultura do país pode influenciar seus negócios. A adoção das diretrizes de divulgação da Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) e a presença de um comitê de sustentabilidade na empresa podem ajudar as empresas a obterem melhor desempenho ambiental. Examinamos o nível de divulgação ambiental de uma amostra com 1.037 empresas sediadas na Austrália, no Canadá, na Irlanda, na Nova Zelândia, no Reino Unido e nos Estados Unidos da América (EUA) no período 2015-2018. Para mensurar a cultura nacional, usamos as dimensões culturais propostas por Hofstede (1983): distância do poder, individualismo, masculinidade, aversão à incerteza, orientação de longo prazo e indulgência. Nossos indícios mostram que a distância do poder, o individualismo e a masculinidade têm efeito positivo na divulgação ambiental. Os resultados mostram que em culturas com menor aversão à incerteza, as empresas divulgam mais informações ambientais. Nossos achados também mostram que as empresas que procedem à divulgação ambiental segundo as diretrizes da GRI divulgam mais informações sobre sustentabilidade. Os resultados mostram que setores como energia, materiais e serviços de utilidade pública apresentam maior divulgação ambiental.
Aspectos demográficos e acesso aos projetos pedagógicos dos cursos de Medicina no Brasil
Authors: Moraes Rodrigo dos Santos , Jacob-Filho Wilson , Carvalho Ricardo Tavares de
Published: March 2023

Resumo: Introdução: A ampliação da educação superior no Brasil é recente. Na área médica, com o advento do Programa Mais Médicos, essa expansão tornou-se viável e culminou com a publicação de novas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) para o curso de graduação em Medicina. O projeto pedagógico do curso (PPC) traduz o que se realiza no curso e funciona como instrumento de comunicação entre a instituição e a sociedade. A análise dos PPC das instituições de ensino superior propicia a identificação de elementos que apontam para convergência ou se afastam do preconizado nas mudanças pretendidas pelas DCN de 2014. Objetivo: Este estudo descreve demograficamente no Brasil o número de cursos de Medicina públicos e privados por estado e região da Federação, o número de vagas disponíveis e o acesso aos PPC dessas escolas por meio de metodologia sistematizada. Método: Realizou-se um levantamento de todas as faculdades com curso de Medicina no Brasil, no ano de 2021. A procura dos PPC foi realizada no site institucional. Em caso de ausência da informação, encaminhamos mensagem eletrônica à coordenação do curso de Medicina. Na indisponibilidade de contato direto com a coordenação pelo site institucional, encaminhamos mensagem ao coordenador por meio do acesso ao seu Currículo Lattes. Resultado: Foram identificadas 336 escolas médicas, 115 (34,2%) públicas e 226 (65,8%) privadas. Observamos a maior concentração de cursos na Região Sudeste (41,3%), seguida da Região Nordeste (24,6%). Das instituições públicas, o Nordeste é a região que mais concentra as escolas (35,6%), seguida da Região Sudeste (26%). Quanto às instituições privadas, ocorre o inverso. Obteve-se um total de 134 PPC (39,8%), sendo 111 (83%) das escolas públicas e 23 (17%) das privadas. Conclusão: Embora a disponibilização do documento de informação pedagógica no site da instituição seja obrigatória, isso não foi verificado em realidade, o que corrobora a necessidade de políticas de valorização e fiscalização da disponibilidade do PPC para facilitar o seu acesso pelos maiores interessados: alunos, comunidade acadêmica e pesquisadores da área da educação médica.

Published: March 2023

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to identify methodological aspects involved in determining anthropometric measurements among studies assessing the nutritional status of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods: A search of the literature was performed on MEDLINE via Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The population comprised children and adolescents with CF. Observational studies and clinical trials using anthropometric and body composition measures and indices determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and bioelectrical impedance assessment (BIA) were included. Use of a standardized procedure for data collection was defined when details on the instruments and their calibration were given, the measuring procedures were described, and when it was clear measures had been determined by a trained team, or the use of an anthropometric reference manual was cited. Data extracted were expressed as absolute and relative frequencies. Results: A total of 32 articles were included, and a total of 233 measures or indices were observed. The most frequently used measures were body mass index (kg/m2; 35%), weight (kg; 33%), and height (cm; 33%). Among the 28 studies that used anthropometric measures, 21 (75%) provided a complete or partial description of the measurement instruments used, 3 (11%) reported information on equipment calibration, 10 (36%) indicated the measurement procedures employed by assessors, and 2 (7%) stated a trained team had carried out the measurements. Conclusions: The poor description of measuring procedures precluded a meaningful evaluation of data quality. Scientific debate on this theme can help raise awareness of the need to ensure quality in collecting and fully presenting data.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to verify vitamin D concentration in children and adolescents during the seasons of the year and to compare vitamin D concentration between children engaged in outdoor activities and those engaged in indoor activities. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 708 children and adolescents (aged 6–18 years), excluding 109 (16 were over 19 years old; 39 had a disease that required continuous treatment; 20 were on continuous medication; and 34 had no vitamin D data), ending with 599. The plasma concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 was measured with commercial kits following manufacturer instructions. Results: Participants who engaged in outdoor activities, as well as those who had data collected during summer and spring, had higher levels of vitamin D. According to the Poisson regression, the proportion of participants with inadequate levels of vitamin D was greater in the participants whose vitamin D was measured during spring (PR 1.15, 95%CI 1.03–1.29) and winter (PR 1.18, 95%CI 1.05–1.32). Also, a greater proportion of inadequate vitamin D was observed for those engaged in indoor activities (PR 1.08, 95%CI 1.01–1.15). Conclusions: Participants who measured the vitamin during the summer and autumn had a lower prevalence of hypovitaminosis D. Even in regions with high solar incidence throughout the year, vitamin D levels can vary significantly during the period’s seasons.

Abstract We examined here the diversity and distribution of Vitaceae species in Ceará state, Brazil, as part of the “Flora of Ceará Project: knowing to conserve”, analyzing the morphological characters of specimens collected in the field, those available in the ALCB, BHCB, EAC, CEN, EAFM, HCDAL, HST, HUEFS, HUVA, HVASF, IAN, IPA, K, MBM, MOSS, NY, P, R, UEC, and US herbaria or in the specialized literature. We include here an identification key, occurrence maps, morphological descriptions, and comments concerning their ecology. The main morphological features for species delimiting were leaf type and symmetry, trichome and tendril types, presence or absence of streaks on branches, stipule, flower bud and fruit shape. Eleven species of Vitaceae included within two genera were recorded in Ceará: Cissus albida, C. blanchetiana, C. campestris, C. erosa, C. gongylodes, C. subrhomboidea, C. sulcicaulis, C. tinctoria, C. verticillata, C. xerophila, and Clematicissus simsiana. The species were registered in 45 municipalities, with C. erosa and C. verticillata being widely distributed. Those species inhabit different phytoecological areas in Ceará, although preferentially growing in Stepic Savanna (Caatinga). Six species occur in nine legally protected conservation areas. Ceará state holds 40.74% of the registered species of the family found in northeastern Brazil.

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the impact of social distancing, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on the perception and nuisance with chronic tinnitus and the relationship of the findings with anxiety and depression. Methods The sample was composed by convenience, including subjects aged 21 to 78 years. The evaluation was conducted in two periods: pre-distancing (late 2019) and during distancing (2020). The second evaluation was conducted online via Google Forms, consisting of the following procedures: Semistructured questionnaire, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results In the comparison of the results of the procedures performed pre-social distancing and during social-distancing, a statistically significant difference was evidenced for the THI and the BAI, but not for the BDI. In the correlation of the perception of chronic tinnitus with anxiety, a statistically significant difference was observed, positive and strong, but not significant with depression. Conclusion Social distancing, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, worsened the perception of and annoyance with chronic tinnitus and was correlated with an increase in anxiety symptoms.
Disputas políticas entre movimientos sociales: la Universidad de los Trabajadores IMPA
Authors: Ramalho Ramon Rodrigues
Published: March 2023

Resumen: En este artículo analizamos las disputas políticas emergentes entre las organizaciones sociales involucradas en la creación de una universidad popular: la Universidad de los Trabajadores IMPA. Nuestro objetivo es contribuir a la comprensión sobre los obstáculos vinculares existentes para la articulación entre organizaciones sociales, aun cuando esas tienen un objetivo común. Eso se hace necesario porque los movimientos sociales latinoamericanos vienen desarrollando diversas estrategias formativas con la creación de múltiples espacios socioeducativos. Nuestra investigación se basa en el trabajo etnográfico realizado por tres años (2011-2013) en IMPA, una empresa recuperada por sus trabajadores. El análisis sobre la estructura vincular emergente en esa plata fabril nos permite concluir sobre aspectos que dificultan la integración entre los movimientos sociales, cuando el vínculo - aun entre semejantes - pasa a ser encarado como una amenaza a la preservación de sus estructuras previas.

The Academic Journey: 12 Stages to Scientific Recognition
Authors: Munaro Mayara
Published: March 2023

The process of academic writing and publishing an article in high-impact scientific journals is a complex task. Writing is not a natural activity and the publication system, based on peer review, requires a lot of determination and persistence from the researcher. As in a cyclical journey of a fictional character, the researcher goes through stages until reaching his glory, that is, the publication of his research. This study is an account of a lived experience that uses the twelve stages of Joseph Campbell's journey of the hero as a reference for the process of writing and submitting scientific articles. The objective is to contribute and motivate, in a relaxed way, researchers in the process of reflection and systematization of scientific writing and dissemination. The expectation is to make the activity related to the process of disseminating scientific research more fun and lighter.

Published: March 2023

A questão do desenvolvimento sustentável tem sido um dos temas recorrentes na agenda das instituições de ensino superior. Nesta perspectiva, a Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC), desenvolveu um projeto institucional chamado "UDESC Sustentável" que promove iniciativas para colocar a sustentabilidade em prática. Uma dessas iniciativas, denominada "Laboratório de Educação para Sustentabilidade e Inovação Social" ou simplesmente LEdS, foi desenvolvida no Campus I da UDESC em Florianópolis e visa, a partir da ideia de um laboratório vivo, incentivar estudantes e professores a desenvolverem pesquisas e práticas que abordam os principais problemas públicos da cidade, dialogando com o público alvo envolvido, bem como atuando em suas particularidades ou demandas específicas. O objetivo é, portanto, disseminar e aplicar conhecimentos sobre sustentabilidade e inovação social, integrando ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Este artigo descreve esta iniciativa, as abordagens teóricas e as práticas que a fundamentam.
