The method of negative ion mass spectrometry of resonant attachment of low energy electrons (0-15 eV) was used to identify and determine the type of impurities in the studied samples of benzofuran-3(2H)-one and benzofuran-2(3H)-one. An analysis of the decay channels of molecular negative ions (NIs) into stable fragments using the results of quantum-chemical calculations in the approximation of the density functional theory made it possible to determine the most probable structures of impurity molecules, as well as fragment ions ([M - H]-, [M - 2H]-, [M - СО]-).

The relevance of the study is determined by the existence of the following contradiction: on the one hand, development institutions currently have an important role to play in ensuring the social and economic development of territories, on the other hand, specific areas in which their potential can be realized have not yet been clearly defined. The purpose of the article is to specify the role of development institutions in the achievement of the state program goals of the Russian Federation “Social and economic development of the Far Eastern Federal District” and the spatial development strategy of the Russian Federation. The theoretical significance of the presented research consists in the scientific substantiation of the need to involve development institutions in the achievement of goals of strategic planning and programming documents developed on a territorial basis at the federal level. The conclusion is made that there are no significant contradictions in the goals of the state program and strategy at the goal-setting stage. The importance of the coordinated implementation of these documents is shown. A significant role in this process is assigned to regional development institutions, namely, the Development Corporation of the Far East and the Arctic. It is proved that its activities will contribute to improve the efficiency of public administration in the Far Eastern territories of Russia due to active participation of the development institute in ensuring the coordinated implementation of the priorities of the strategy and the goals of the state program. It will also allow the corporation to carry out its activities more successfully and perform its main functions, foremost, in development of a favorable institutional environment that contributes to the positive dynamics of priority sectors of the economies of the Far Eastern regions of Russia. Furthermore, it is suggested to consolidate the role of the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation as a key regional development institution, which is a participant in the implementation of the spatial development strategy of the Russian Federation and the state program of the Russian Federation “Social and Economic Development of the Far Eastern Federal District”.

The digital transformation of the economy allows an enterprise to respond to constant changes in the market situation and to be competitive. Such a comprehensive fundamental change requires a complete revision of the tool of economic analysis of enterprise performance. Assessment of the economic performance of an enterprise is a prerequisite for competitiveness. In the conditions of digital transformation of the economy the purpose of efficiency growth of the enterprise becomes the search for internal reserves of growth of activity results. The analysis of business performance includes: study of changes in each indicator for the period under analysis; study of the structure of indicators and their changes; study of financial performance in dynamics; identification of causes of changes in indicators. Until recently, economic analysis mainly used mathematical models describing the phenomenon under analysis using equations, inequalities, functions and other mathematical tools. Today, economic and mathematical methods are becoming an important tool for economic analysis, which helps in making optimal management decisions and contributes to the solution of various problems of a complex nature. Economic and mathematical methods are a synthesis of economic, mathematical and statistical approaches to the analysis. Economics and mathematical methods include: methods of elementary mathematics, classical methods of mathematical analysis, econometric methods, methods of operations research, heuristic methods, methods of mathematical statistics, methods of mathematical programming, methods of economic cybernetics, and mathematical theory of optimum processes. Application of economic and mathematical methods can significantly improve the analysis effectiveness of an enterprise, ensures high accuracy of the result when optimizing time costs, allows you to expand the range of tasks. Wide application of mathematical methods is one of the important directions in the field of improvement of economic analysis of enterprise activity. Economic and mathematical modeling can be widely used for planning and forecasting of enterprise activities.

Published: August 2022

Instability of the dynamics in regional economy, as a rule, appears under the influence of factors of different nature. At the same time, amid the pandemic, changes in the current structure of the economy are possible, which in turn complicate the difficult task of analysis of regional economic growth. The aim of the study is to identify the factors of regional economic growth amid the pandemic, taking into account its unique features (using the example of Altai Krai). The article presents the results of the achievement of one of the tasks of this research, namely, identification of long-term factors in the development of the economy of the region amid the pandemic. The task was achieved by means of econometric methods with the justification and use of testing methods of time series for stationarity, nonlinearity, seasonality, structural breaks, Granger causality, cointegration relationship. The main results of the study at the stage of searching for long-term factors of economic growth became the conclusions about the cointegration relationship for the indicators of regional economy key sectors, including industry, trade and agriculture. Thus, the hypotheses about the long-term impact of the federal price index “Industry” on a similar regional index and on the index of the physical volume of agricultural products was confirmed. The given result indicates a serious dependence of the two leading industries of the regional economy on the external price environment. Further steps were proposed to simulate the social and economic development of the region with a predominance of industrial and agricultural industries. These results are expected to be used in the development and adjustment of regional strategic planning and forecasting documents, in particular, the forecast and strategy of social and economic development.

Avaliar a trajetória das taxas de mortalidade por COVID-19 no Brasil e comparar as taxas extremas de 2022 e de 2021, em distintos grupos etários. Estudo ecológico com óbitos por síndrome respiratória aguda grave por COVID-19, tendo o Brasil como unidade de análise. Os dados foram obtidos do Sistema de Informação da Vigilância Epidemiológica da Gripe. Foram avaliados os óbitos no período de 10 de janeiro de 2021 a 12 de fevereiro de 2022, agrupado em Semanas Epidemiológicas (SE). A análise dos dados foi conduzida no software R, utilizando modelos Poisson para estimar as taxas de mortalidade. O nível de significância estatística foi 5%. Foram avaliados 408.180 óbitos, sendo 0,34% de indivíduos menores de18 anos e 64,6% daqueles com 60 anos e mais. De um lado, nas faixas etárias de 0-1, 2-4 e 5-11 anos, observaram-se maiores taxas de mortalidade nas SE 4-6/2022, em comparação às maiores de 2021. De outro, nos indivíduos de 12-17 anos, estimou-se taxa inferior no grupo de SE 4-6/2022, em comparação ao grupo de SE 11-13 de 2021, com razão de mortalidade 0,60 (IC95%: 0,38-0,94). Detectaram-se padrões opostos na mortalidade por COVID-19 no Brasil entre crianças e indivíduos incluídos na campanha nacional de vacinação. Entre os primeiros, observaram-se taxas de mortalidade iguais ou piores do que em fases anteriores da epidemia, contrapondo-se ao registro de queda consistente e forte dos últimos, reforçando a efetividade da vacina contra COVID-19.

Published: August 2022

Resumo As relações estabelecidas na família, como a relação de ativação pai-criança, interferem no comportamento da criança. Para compreender as relações entre padrões de ativação pai-criança, funcionamento familiar e comportamento da criança, realizou-se um estudo com 12 famílias biparentais heteroafetivas com crianças pré-escolares. Utilizou-se: Questionário Sociodemográfico; Observação da Situação de Risco; Escala de Avaliação da Coesão e Adaptabilidade Familiar; e Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades. Constatou-se que: oito crianças foram classificadas como ativadas, três como subativadas e uma como superativada; o funcionamento das famílias está rigidamente coeso e/ou equilibrado; e, no comportamento das crianças, houve elevada pró-sociabilidade e baixos escores em dificuldades. Além da relação de ativação, o funcionamento familiar foi fundamental para a compreensão dos comportamentos da criança.
Novelties from the herbaceous stratum in a key region for the conservation of the Southern Amazon

Published: August 2022

Abstract The contribution of the herbaceous stratum to tropical plant diversity is considerable, however this component remains undersampled. We investigated floristic, structural, ecological and conservation issues concerning the herbaceous component of a seasonal deciduous forest associated with granitic rock outcrops in the Cristalino Region, a key area for biodiversity conservation in the Brazilian Amazon. We installed a permanent plot of 1 ha, allocating 10 transect-lines of 20 m each. We identified the sampled individuals, measured height and projection, and verified cover and frequency per species, genera and family. We recorded 86 species, 62 genera and 25 families, with Orchidaceae being the family with the highest species richness. Among the 26 new species added to Cristalino Flora, we included Philodendron deflexum Poepp. ex Schott and Griffinia nocturna Ravenna, the latter ‘Critically Endangered’. Furthermore, the occurrence of G. nocturna in an Amazonian forest matrix is a novelty in this study. The estimate of species diversity according to Shannon-Wiener (H’) was 2.43 nats.ind.-1 (equivalent to 11.37 ± 0.90 IC95% equally common species), and according to Simpson (1/D), 6.82 (± 0.648 IC95%). The rarefaction and extrapolation curves for the diversity estimates tended to stabilize. Although the vegetation on rock outcrops usually presents a high number of endemic species, this pattern was not found in our study area, which can be explained by its continuous occurrence in the forest matrix. The understory of our study area consists in a mixture of floras, being composed mainly of species from the Amazon and/or Cerrado biomes. In view of the current anthropic pressure faced by the southern Amazon, we reinforce the importance of carrying out inventories of its herbaceous communities, since the risk of species loss is even more alarming when considering present undersampling of this component.
Construction of the historical-regulatory standard of the Expanded Family Health Center
Authors: Mattos Mauricio Pereira de , Gutiérrez Adriana Coser , Campos Gastão Wagner de Sousa
Published: August 2022

Abstract This paper discusses the historical construction of the Expanded Family Health Center (NASF, in Portuguese), based on the analysis of 17 documents edited by the Ministry of Health (MH) between 2005 and 2021. This is a qualitative study of documental review that seeks to understand how the regulations and official instructive manuals have been shaping the way NASF teams operate. It proposes to divide the NASF construction process into five periods: previous movements (2003 to 2007); support guidelines (2008 to 2011); the universalization of nasf (2012 to 2015); expansion of support (2016 to 2018); and the dismantling of NASF? (2019 to 2021). The results show changes in guidelines over the years of the team’s existence, especially in relation to the matrix support concept and its two dimensions: technical-pedagogical and clinical care. This study also demonstrates the effects of the Previne Brasil Program on the NASF, which resulted in the reduction of 379 teams in 2020 and 2021. Added to this scenario is the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which may be repositioning NASF interventions in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS, in Portuguese).

Resumen En Colombia, la agroindustria utiliza el argumento de que el control de plagas es necesario para alimentar a la población mundial, de esta forma, instala una forma de producción que usa agrotóxicos. Sin embargo, los impactos en la salud es estos productos no existen en los discursos de sus funciones asépticas. La presente investigación utilizó el análisis crítico del discurso (ACD) para caracterizar y analizar los discursos sobre las formas de producción y trabajo que favorecen la exposición a agrotóxicos y los impactos en la salud en las familias de las regiones rurales de Usme y Sumapaz, Colombia. Para ello, se utilizaron diferentes técnicas de recolección de datos cualitativos: observación participante, entrevista semiestructurada e investigación documental. Los discursos muestran la interacción entre formas estructurales que definen la construcción de la realidad desde significados que transforma al sujeto rural, se construyen para el caso de la agroindustria y el uso de agrotóxicos una violencia simbólica institucional. Esta relación discursiva impone una vida cotidiana que naturaliza la exposición a los agrotóxicos y transfiere en las colectividades las responsabilidades sobre los impactos en la salud de estos productos tóxicos.
The “reality of the knowledge and the ability instilled”: climate, doctors, and public health in Brazil, 1808-1835
Authors: Freitas Ricardo Cabral de , Edler Flavio Coelho
Published: August 2022

Abstract This article analyzes the efforts to build spaces for the medical community in Brazil since the transfer of the Court from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro in 1808, through the country’s independence process, until the creation of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, in 1835. Such initiatives affirm the prominence of medical-scientific knowledge in the face of traditional healing practices, as well as a hygienic agenda for the independent nation, strongly linked to the legitimation of local expertise in Brazilian climatology. Throughout this process, some medical leaders involved sought to affirm the convergence between the hygienic discourse and the interests of the nascent imperial state, while at the same time announcing the renewal of the mechanisms of legitimation of the career that, supposedly, started to be given by scientific merit instead of the patronage system typical of the Ancien Régime.
A saúde como campo de batalha: doenças e artes de curar no Brasil, 1750-1822
Authors: Freitas Ricardo Cabral de , Nogueira André
Published: August 2022

Resumo O artigo explora como as doenças eram pensadas e enfrentadas na América portuguesa no início da década de 1820, pouco antes da consolidação da ruptura política com Portugal que tornou o Brasil um país independente. Analisa quem foram os indivíduos chamados para tratar as doenças da população sofredora, seus saberes e terapêuticas. Para tanto, inicia-se com um recuo no tempo, enfatizando as influências das reformas do Império português sobre o saber médico na segunda metade do século XVIII. A primeira parte do artigo se dedica a explorar as complexas e multifacetadas práticas de cura na América portuguesa, resultantes das misturas entre as concepções tradicionais sobre o corpo e a doença que faziam parte das referências culturais da população local. Em seguida, analisa alguns dos embates institucionais e políticos envolvidos na consolidação da medicina científica no Brasil, especialmente após a transferência da Corte portuguesa para o Rio de Janeiro. Apesar do prestígio político dos médicos acadêmicos, os praticantes das artes da cura contavam com amplo apoio da população, além de encontrarem mobilidade social nas brechas das relações clientelistas que marcavam a cultura política do período.
Entre legitimação científica e legitimação cultural: transformações no campo das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares
Authors: Oliveira Iago Marafina de , Pasche Dário Frederico
Published: August 2022

Resumo A Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PNPIC) foi publicada há 15 anos e entre 2017 e 2018 passou por dois atos de ampliação, partindo de cinco para 29 modalidades de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (PICS), um aumento de 24 novas práticas no período de um ano. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender as condições para tais transformações ao redor das PICS no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), refletindo como os atores sociais compreendem essas mudanças. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com oito interlocutores/as, analisadas à luz da teoria do campo de Pierre Bourdieu. Os resultados apontam que a ampliação da PNPIC, motivada por atravessamentos político-institucionais, é compreendida em duas matrizes de pensamento que se relacionam com a legitimação cultural e a legitimação científica das PICS nos SUS. Conclui-se que a rápida expansão da PNPIC gerou uma crise no campo, mostrando a necessidade de uma reestruturação dialogada com suas bases sociais.
O enfermeiro-mor nas Santas Casas da província de Minas Gerais: entre a administração e a assistência
Authors: Marques Rita de Cassia , Silveira Anny Jackeline Torres
Published: August 2022

Resumo Este artigo trata da percepção da enfermagem como uma ocupação de baixo prestígio no século XIX. A história da enfermagem produzida pelos profissionais da área reforçou essa concepção. No entanto, o perfil do cargo de enfermeiro-mor, presente nas Santas Casas, indica um espectro social mais amplo para a profissão de enfermagem. As autoras defendem a hipótese de que essa avaliação negativa se baseia apenas em atividades de cuidado ao paciente que eram mais visíveis. A presença do enfermeiro-mor exemplifica os limites de uma generalização da desvalorização social da enfermagem. A conclusão é que a suposição generalizada de que a enfermagem se limitava a cuidados básicos de saúde não se sustenta.
The enfermeiro-mor (head-nurse) in Santas Casas in the province of Minas Gerais: between care and administration
Authors: Marques Rita de Cassia , Silveira Anny Jackeline Torres
Published: August 2022

Abstract This article focuses on the perception of nursing as a low-prestige occupation in the 19th century. The history of nursing produced by professionals in the area supported this understanding. However, the profile of the enfermeiro-mor (head nurse), a position in the Santas Casas, demonstrates that the nursing profession was present throughout a broader social spectrum. The authors support the hypothesis that the typical negative assessment is based only on the more visible patient care activities. The presence of the enfermeiro-mor exemplifies the limits of a generalization of the social undervaluation of nursing. The conclusion is that the generalized assumption that nursing was only about basic health care is not acceptable.

Resumo Este estudo avalia o impacto de políticas de ampliação do acesso ao ensino superior na redução de iniquidades no perfil dos egressos de cursos médicos no Brasil. Estudo transversal que utiliza dados do Censo da Educação Superior de 2018. Foram realizadas análises para identificar associação entre ser beneficiário da Lei de Cotas, do Programa Universidade para Todos ou do Fundo de Financiamento Estudantil e três marcadores: nascimento em município de pequeno porte, ser não-branco ou ter cursado ensino médio em escola pública. Realizamos análises utilizando teste de qui-quadrado de Pearson e análise multivariada através de regressão de Poisson. Houve associação significativa entre ser beneficiário destas políticas e ser egresso não branco, ter nascido em município de pequeno porte e ser egresso de escola pública no ensino médio. Todas as políticas apresentaram resultados de Razões de Prevalências (RP) ajustadas superiores a um e com significância estatística. A Lei de Cotas foi a política mais efetiva com RP=1,92 para ser egresso não-branco, RP=6,66 para ter estudado ensino médio em escola pública e RP=1,08 para ter nascido em município de pequeno porte. Apesar destes resultados, estes grupos continuam sub-representados nos cursos médicos e na composição da força de trabalho.

Published: August 2022

Abstract The objective was to analyze the coping strategies adopted by female sex workers in the face of stressors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative study supported by Systems and Coping theories. An in-depth interview was carried out with 30 sex workers from the Alto Sertão Produtivo Baiano between September and October 2020. The narratives were submitted to the resources of hermeneutics-dialectic to organize the categories. Four categories make reference to the system’s stressors: negative feelings of fear, anxiety and difficulties in sleeping with the uncertainties in the face of the pandemic; concern about personal and family support; irritability in the face of conflicts; anxieties and insecurities with working conditions. Five categories allude to coping: strategies focused on the problem (pandemic); reframing and regulation of emotions; spirituality and religiosity; support networks and social support; use of medications. Stressors arise as a result of sexual service experiences combined with the pandemic situation with reduced customers and income, leading to the development of negative feelings and emotions. However, coping strategies are diverse and they women made effort to deal with problems and to balance their mental health.

Published: August 2022

Abstract Pharmacist prescribing is a growing reality in some developed counties, with varied health systems. Understanding the contribution that this activity can offer in the healthcare process, and investigating its acceptance is of utmost importance for the countries that implement and regulate this type of system. This literature review aimed to design a state-of-the-art academic investigation on the perception, opinions, and attitudes in the context of pharmacist prescribing practices in countries that have adopted this system. To achieve this, the present study conducted an investigation of the Medline, Scopus, Embase, SciELO, and Lilacs databases, resulting in the selection of 17 studies. From the analysis of the articles, three categories of discussion arose: “understanding of the practice and perceived benefits”, “acceptance and adherence to the practice, and “hindrances to the practice”. The results showed varied acceptance and perceptions among the different publics, depending, among other questions, on the level of knowledge and experience of the patients and health professionals, on the profile of the pharmacists, or on the prescribing modality. This study highlights some challenges involved in the practice of pharmacist prescribing, and its findings can be useful in suggesting a means through which to strengthen the practice.

SPORTS REHABILITATION IN ATHLETES WITH MENISCAL LESIONS BASED ON ELECTROACUPUNCTURE ASSOCIATED WITH SPORTS THERAPY
Authors: Li Yujiao
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: Meniscal injury is a common condition that can lead to disability due to pain and proprioceptive failure, requiring immediate attention. Combination therapies involve advanced approaches aiming to accelerate rehabilitation in athletes, and electroacupuncture presents therapeutic benefits, although there is still no evidence of its combination with sports therapy. Objective: This paper analyzes the performance of sports rehabilitation in athletes with meniscal lesions using electroacupuncture combined with sports therapy. Methods: The intervention in the control group was based on a traditional range of motion work, muscle strength, proprioceptive training, and other exercise therapies, while the experimental group received a 30 min electro-acupuncture protocol three times a week for four consecutive weeks. The surrogate data (gender, age, disease course, location) are the same. Before treatment, joint activity, muscle strength, total joint scale score of the LYSHOLM questionnaire, and other observational indices were measured during the 6th and 12th week of treatment. The non-parametric statistical method and T-test were used to analyze the changes of each index before and after treatment. After 12 weeks of treatment, the difference between the experimental group and the combination before treatment was significant. Results: The treatment effect of the experimental group was significantly better than the control group. Conclusion: The effect of sports rehabilitation of athletes with meniscus injury based on electroacupuncture combined with sports therapy showed high resolutive application value, indicating an alternative for non-surgical treatment in knee meniscus injuries. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES FOR PHYSICAL RECOVERY AND MUSCLE STRENGTH AFTER BASKETBALL TRAINING
Authors: Ling Xue
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: The need to increase muscle strength and optimize physical recovery is essential for athletes’ maximum performance in basketball competitions. However, alternative interventions are still little explored for the physical recovery process. Objective: Explore the effect of muscle strength training in basketball and alternative strategies for physical recovery. Methods: After basketball strength training, the control group adopted the traditional stretching method, while the experimental group combined yoga and music for a gradual warm-up and body relaxation. In this process, we measured changes in blood lactate content during exercise. Within 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes after exercise was used to analyze the effect of muscle recovery between the groups. Results: Muscle strength training can comprehensively improve performance indicators of all aspects of basketball. Still, many biochemical parameters of muscle strength, especially of the shoulder and back, showed no significant effect in the control group. The relative total work (TWP), average power (AP), and relative average power (APP) indicators showed a significant impact after the alternative intervention in the experimental group. Conclusion: Muscle strength training can effectively improve multiple qualities in athletes, providing gains in strength development and motor skills with an acceleration in the physical recovery stage. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Authors: Wang Rui , Han Liang
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: With the preparation and development of the Winter Olympic Games, there has been an increase in the popularity of skiing. Driven by this demand, the professional development of coaches requires updates in the analysis of skiers’ sports injuries, elaboration of corresponding prevention and treatment strategies, and resistance training to promote the development of athletes’ physical quality, such as bone mass and mineral density. Objective: Study the sports injuries of skiers and explore needs and ways of applying resistance training in skiing. Methods: The questionnaire survey was used to explore the main types of injuries and their influencing factors. Then, 20 volunteers were selected for the resistance training experiment; each group of 10 people included five men and five women. The control group maintained a normal daily life, while resistance training was added to the experimental group three times a week, based on the control group. Results: The research results showed that the current proportion of skiing injuries was relatively high, mainly in mild injuries. After nine weeks in the experimental resistance training group, both men and women had positive bone mass development. Conclusion: Resistance training can improve physical quality and reduce the occurrence of sports injuries, demonstrating the benefits of its implementation in endurance training for skiers. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
ANALYSIS OF MUSCLE FATIGUE RECOVERY IN SKIERS: A NUTRITIONAL INTERVENTION
Authors: Wang Rui , Yang Chenxi
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: Skiing is a sport that demands the high performance of motor coordination with high energy consumption, factors that strongly influence muscle fatigue. Athletes who experience this phenomenon tend to present a decline in performance, generating psychological irritability and impairment in concentration. Diet is closely related to athletic performance, but the proper prescription for skiing athletes still lacks studies. Objective: To explore the methods of recovery from sports fatigue in skiers by providing up-to-date perspectives for effective nutritional intervention during the recovery stage. Methods: Seven young male skiers were selected as research subjects, and caloric intake, among other conditions, was recorded in detail. After three weeks, indices of body weight, body fat rate, serum metabolism, cardiopulmonary capacity, and energy metabolism, among other relevant information, were duly recorded and compared. Results: The intervention did not significantly impact lean body mass indices (p>0.05). The athletes’ body weight decreased significantly, and the body fat rate decreased significantly after the nutritional intervention; The analyzed biomarkers were positively impacted, except the urea nitrogen concentration that showed a tendency to increase after the nutritional intervention, an effect that may be linked to the proportional increase of protein intake. Conclusion: The proposed nutritional intervention positively impacted the skiers’ energy metabolism, directly impacting the athletes’ recovery from sports fatigue. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
MUSCULAR STRENGTH TRAINING IMPACTS IN YOUNG ATHLETES
Authors: Zhang Kaiyuan , Wang Ming
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: Muscle strength is directly related to its cross-sectional area and the volume of its fibers, but there is no absolute linear relationship between hypertrophy and improvement in athletic performance. Under this complex perspective, muscle training strategies have been implemented to promote relevant muscle strength and improve overall athletic ability. Objective: Explore the impacts of muscle strength training on young athletes based on sport kinetic principles. Methods: we adopted the method of intragroup statistical comparison with body indexes of 10 volunteers undergoing muscle training focused on the core and lower limb set. Results: Muscle strength gain was effectively verified via electromyogram, and the test of athletic skills showed an evolution in jumping, balance, and reduction of wrong passes. Conclusion: Evidence-based muscle training can increase muscle strength and promote sports skill gain in young athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

Abstract speciesLink is a large-scale biodiversity information portal that exists thanks to a broad collaborative network of people and institutions. CRIA’s involvement with the scientific community of Brazil and other countries is responsible for the significant results achieved, currently reaching more than 15 million primary biodiversity data records, 95% of which are associated with preserved specimens and about 25% with high-quality digital images. The network provides data on over 200,000 species, of which over 110,000 occur in Brazil. This article describes thematic networks within speciesLink, as well as some of the most useful tools developed. The importance and contributions of speciesLink are outlined, as are concerns about securing stable budgetary support for such biodiversity data e-infrastructures. Here we review the value of speciesLink as a major source of biodiversity information for research, education, informed decision-making, policy development, and bioeconomy.

ABSTRACT High accuracy in timber volume estimation in tropical forests is required to support sustainable management. Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) can provide high-quality estimates from tree structural variables. We compared stem variable estimations obtained by TLS and traditional methods at tree level and adjusted volume equations using data of a secondary seasonal semideciduous forest (Atlantic Forest). We also discuss the feasibility of TLS in hyperdiverse and secondary forest fragments. Traditional measurements (Method I) and TLS-based measurements (Method II) were performed on 29 trees belonging to 10 species. Volume equations based on the Schumacher and Hall (SH) and Spurr models were generated. DBH (diameter at breast height) was equal for both methods. Total height (TH) was overestimated by Method II, and commercial height (CH) showed a low correlation between the two methods. The adjusted volumetric equations were different for both methods, and those based on the SH volume model showed the best fit. Our results lead us to infer that in hyperdiverse secondary forests, tree structural variables should be obtained via TLS. However, attention should be given to the occlusion of target trees by the regenerating understory and to height estimates, which can be biased by the crown characteristics of the dominant species.

Abstract There is evidence for the beneficial effects of forage peanut on the nutritive value and fermentation profile of silages; however, its effects on sugarcane silage have not been determined. The objective of the study was to evaluate the chemical composition, fermentation profile, microbial composition, and dry matter recovery (DMR) of sugarcane silage containing various amounts of forage peanut (Arachis pintoi cv. Belmonte) (0%, 25%, 50%, and 75% on a fresh matter basis), treated or untreated with Lactobacillus buchneri. A completely randomized 4 × 2 factorial design was used with three replications. The interaction between forage peanut levels and inoculant influenced the concentrations of dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber, organic acids and ethanol, populations of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, gas and effluent losses, and DMR. Forage peanut levels had effects on dry matter, hemicellulose, acid detergent insoluble nitrogen, pH, and ammonia nitrogen. Increasing proportions of forage peanut increased the protein content and decreased the fiber content in the silage, while also reducing the production of ethanol and effluent. We recommend the inclusion of 40%–75% forage peanut in the sugarcane ensilage to improve the chemical composition and fermentation profile. Furthermore, inoculation with L. buchneri associated with forage peanut increases the concentration of antifungal acids in the silage and decreases the yeast population and ethanol production.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the maternal and obstetric characteristics associated with severe maternal morbidity, and the factors of the assistance process involved in the severe outcomes according to nurses and doctors. Method: Sequential mixed study at the tertiary maternity in the city of Rio de Janeiro, based on care records and interviews with these professionals, from February to July 2019. Chi-square test, prevalence ratio and thematic content analysis were applied. Results: In 66 (100%) women with SMM, severe preeclampsia (77.3%) was more prevalent and there were 12 (18.2%) cases of near miss and one maternal death. Postpartum hemorrhage (PR = 3.21; 95% CI 1.22-8.41) and blood transfusions (PR = 3.60; 95% CI 1.81-7.16) contributed to severe outcomes. There are deficiencies in the health system, access to reproductive health and quality of care. Conclusion: Improvements in access to health and quality of the care process are imperative to reduce severe maternal outcomes.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate and compare the genetic diversity of 29 barley genotypes, on the basis of molecular markers and quantitative agronomic traits, under irrigation in the Brazilian Cerrado. The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter sequence simple repeats (ISSR), and simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers were used. The quantitative agronomic traits were evaluated in two irrigated environments in the Brazilian Cerrado, for the following parameters: estimated grain yield, grain size, thousand seed weight, plant height, lodging degree, and days to heading. Marker polymorphisms were 91, 51.46, and 85% for RAPD, ISSR, and SSR, respectively. The RAPD, ISSR, and SSR markers are complementary for the identification of genetic variability among barley genotypes. The low correlations between the distances estimated on the basis of molecular markers and the distances estimated on the basis of agronomic traits emphasize the importance of using complementary analyses of molecular markers for more complete studies on genetic variability. The agronomic traits of the genotypes are different in the two environments. The selected genotypes can compose the working collection of irrigated barley in the Brazilian Cerrado because of their wide genetic variability.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the chitinolytic activity and bioactivity of fungi isolated from the palm weevil (Rhynchophorus palmarum) and from soil samples from coconut (Cocos nucifera) crops against the insect itself. Initially, to determine the chitinolytic properties of the isolated fungi, their ability to hydrolyze chitin in a liquid culture medium was evaluated. Then, preliminary pathogenicity assays were carried out, using the bean weevil (Acanthoscelides obtectus) as a reference, to select the fungal isolates to be used in the experiments with the palm weevil. Fi n a l ly, the bioactivity of two selected entomopathogenic fungi on palm weevil larvae and adults was assessed. There was no direct correlation between chitinolytic activity and pathogenicity capacity on the bean weevil nor between the isolates and bioactivity on the palm weevil. Beauveria bassiana CSU9 shows the highest activity on palm weevil larvae and adults, with a median lethal time of 0.8 and 14.4 days, respectively.
