Film Idam Pica with visual documentation, animation and live action (called Trisikon; three situation and condition) is used in response to the dangerous phenomenon of idam pica. The writer tried to make a film that is not a cliché, not just a play of dramaturgy, gesture, mimic, and exploratory dialogue from the actor himself. The author explored the visual (mise en scene) by dissecting cliches and not cliches artwork. All action ranging from phenomena, maternal ecstasy, to visual realization. It is intended to create random Audio visual spaces, chaotic, and broken. The combination of documentation, animation, and live action in this film is able to realize the Deleuze’s Logic Sensation theory, that there were two powers owned by chaos at the same time, destructive power, and life power. The modified form in the film Pink Pastel can help the filmmakers to open the possibility of wider cinema visual.

Authors: Uanpromma Jetsadapong , Suwangbutra Punyanuch , Upakdee Nilawan
Published: July 2020

Background: As the results of the high pesticides use, pesticide poisoning is an important health problem in Thailand. Most studies are about pesticide use behavior and health impact, but lack of studies that indicate the impact economically.

Objective: To analyze the services and medical care charge of patient diagnosed with pesticide poisoning at the hospitals.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study using data from the National Health Security Office both outpatients and inpatients. Data was during the year 2016 - 2018 and selected according to ICD-10 diagnosis code is T60.0-T60.9 (Toxic effect of pesticides), but excluding code X68 (Intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to pesticides). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Results: During the year 2016 - 2018, mostly patient was inpatient care (97.0%), and diagnose with herbicide and fungicides (47.9%). The average cost per person per year of inpatient care was ฿7740, ฿11 048 and ฿9641, respectively. While the average cost per person per year of outpatient care was ฿1651, ฿1482, and ฿1668, respectively. The reasons for the treatment of inpatient and outpatient was herbicide and fungicides, followed by organophosphate and carbamate poisoning.

Conclusions: The majority of patients affected by pesticides are inpatients who were poisoned by herbicide and fungicides with higher medical cost than outpatients. However, the causes of the highest average cost of treatment and the highest number of visits are organophosphate and carbamate insecticides.
Power-saving Asynchronous Quorum-based Protocols for Maximal Neighbour Discovery
Authors: Imani Mehdi , Ali Maaruf , Arabnia Hamid R.
Published: July 2020

The discovery of neighbouring active nodes is one of the most challenging problems in asynchronous ad hoc networks. Since time synchronization is extremely costly in these networks, application of asynchronous methods like quorum-based protocols have attracted increased interest for their suitability. This is because Quorum-based protocols can guarantee that two nodes with differing clock times have an intersection within at least one timeslot. A higher neighbour discovery rate of active nodes is desired, but it also results in a higher active ratio and consequently and adversely more overall power consumption of the nodes and a shorter network lifetime. There must be a trade-off between extensive neighbour discovery and active ratio in order to design high-performance and efficient protocols. In this paper, two novel asynchronous quorum-based protocols to maximize the neighbour discovery and minimize the active ratio have been designed and presented. A new metric (Quorum Efficiency Ratio: QER) has also been designed to evaluate and compare the performance of quorum-based protocols in terms of their neighbour discovery (the Expected Quorum Overlap Size: EQOS) and the active ratio. The EQOS has been theoretically derived, along with the Active Ratio and the QER values for the proposed novel protocols and the other contemporary protocols. Finally, the proposed methods have been evaluated and compared against the other methods based on the current metrics and the new metric.
ACOFP Member Survey on Physician Wellness and Preventative Measures for Protection
Authors: Jesse D. Shaw, DO  , Katherine A. Lincoln, DO, FAAFP  , Andrew P. Crow, DO
Published: June 2020

The current medical landscape highlights that physicians are experiencing an unprecedented epidemic of burnout. National studies show that at least 50% of physicians practicing in the United States are experiencing this harmful, detrimental disorder. This not only leads to personal consequences but potentially adverse patient events. As studies suggest, family medicine physicians are at the highest risk. To evaluate the impact of this effect on its current members and to establish strategies to promote wellness, the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP) appointed a Task Force on Physician Wellness. Data was collected by a voluntary internal survey between March 21 and April 7, 2019, distributed to all ACOFP members. A total of 133 members completed the survey. Nearly half (47%) of respondents admitted to experiencing burnout symptoms. The factors that influenced burnout the most were the burden of non-clinical/administrative work and the inefficient/burdensome electronic medical record. The most protective elements to combat burnout are having a supportive spouse/partner/family member and recognizing the meaning of their daily work. A transition must occur to focus on health instead of the disease of our physicians. Individual and organizational attention must be placed on the physical, mental and social well-being of physicians. In the creation of this task force, ACOFP has begun to create educational references, provide live CME and generate conversational networks for physician support.
Annual changes in corticosterone and its response to handling, tagging and short-term captivity in Nyctibatrachus humayuni
Authors: Joshi Amruta M.
Published: July 2020

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are primarily involved in mobilising energy reserves to various physiological processes including reproduction. During situations of stress, GCs also help in coping with stress by diverting energy away from processes such as growth and reproduction. Hence, studying annual and seasonal changes in GCs of wild populations can help in understanding their role in stress management and reproduction. The quantification of GCs in wild animals involves capturing, handling and restraining, which could be stressful. Moreover, different species may exhibit differential sensitivity to different stressors. Hence, determining species-specific sensitivities and responses to different stressors may help in developing effective conservation measures. In this context, we studied the annual and seasonal variations in corticosterone metabolites of the Bombay night frog, Nyctibatrachus humayuni. In addition, the effects of handling, marking and short-term captivity (24 h) on corticosterone metabolite levels of N. humayuni were determined. Our results show that urinary corticosterone metabolites (UCM) varied significantly annually and between the sexes; in males, the levels were highest during the breeding season, whilst in females, the levels were highest just before the breeding season. Interestingly, UCM levels of both the sexes were not affected by tagging with visual implant elastomer (VIE), and by short-term captivity, suggesting that these manipulations were not stressful in terms of corticosterone responses.
Carry-over effects of the larval environment on the post-metamorphic performance of Bombina variegata (Amphibia, Anura)
Authors: Sinsch Ulrich
Published: July 2020

Metamorphs of the yellow-bellied toad, Bombina variegata, vary widely in size at metamorphosis in the field. We performed a replicated outdoor mesocosm study to simulate the environmental factor combinations in permanent and ephemeral breeding sites and to quantify their effects on tadpole development (duration of the larval period, metamorph size and body condition). Looking for potential carry-over effects of the larval environment, we quantified locomotor performance of all metamorph phenotypes originating from the mesocosms immediately after metamorphosis under controlled conditions. In contrast to the prediction of life-history theory, tadpoles were unable to adjust developmental rate to water availability, but metamorphs originating from the ephemeral pond treatment were smaller and had a lower body condition than those from the permanent pond treatment. Size-dependent carry-over effects included the length of the first jump following tactile stimulation, burst performance (total length of spontaneous jumps) and endurance (total distance covered in 10 forced jumps). A size-independent effect of larval environment was the prolonged locomotor effort to escape (5.7 consecutive jumps following initial stimulus) of metamorphs from the ephemeral pond treatment compared to same-sized ones (3.7 jumps) from the permanent pond treatment. Thus, we demonstrate that carry-over effects of larval environment on metamorph phenotype and behaviour cause a considerable variation in fitness in the early terrestrial stage of B. variegata. Informed conservation management of endangered populations in the northern range should therefore include the provision of small permanent breeding ponds promoting larger and fitter metamorphs.
The importance of long-term genetic monitoring of reintroduced populations: inbreeding in the natterjack toad (Epidalea calamita)
Authors: Phillips Susanna
Published: July 2020

Genetic monitoring is an important, but frequently lacking, component of management actions to support long-term persistence in reintroduced populations. Populations that remain small, due to demographic processes and genetic diversity, are more likely to experience a second extinction event. The natterjack toad (Epidelea calamita) is legally protected in Britain and was the subject of a reintroduction programme in the 1990s. However, subsequent genetic assessment has been mostly lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the genetic diversity of two reintroduced populations of natterjack toads in order to inform conservation management. Adults were sampled and nine microsatellites amplified to assess neutral genetic
variation within each site and for comparison with the source population. Inbreeding was observed at the reintroduction sites, as evidenced by high FIS values (0.43 and 0.72), low observed compared to expected heterozygosities, and significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Observed heterozygosity is currently lower in the reintroduction sites than it was in the source population at the time of the reintroductions (Red Rocks: 0.15±0.20; Talacre: 0.12±0.20; Ainsdale (source): 0.29). Evidence for a bottleneck was not found, although this is likely a result of sampling overlapping generations. No withinsite population structuring was observed. Such low genetic diversity has not previously been recorded in any natterjack population. Genetic rescue, combined with pool creation, is the most viable option for safeguarding the species at these sites into the future. Our work highlights the importance of ongoing genetic monitoring, in collaboration with conservation organisations, to support conservation management.
Factors Affecting Bulblet Growth of Lilium sp. - Tracking Ontogenic Development and Bulb Production in vitro
Authors: Islam Md Saiful , Shimasaki Kazuhiko
Published: July 2020

Poor growth of bulblet and ontogenic development are the major problems of adventitious bulb production of lilies in vitro through explant culture. Ontogenic development from the juvenile phase to the adult vegetative phase strongly correlates with bulblet growth of lily, and it is important to understand how lily bulblets grow in vitro. This study was at aimed to determining an effective in vitro culture process for lily to track bulblet growth, ontogenic development, and bulb production. In the results, bulblet performance was higher with the increase in the amount of medium; however, bulblet size was not satisfactory and was in the juvenile phase under an inducing condition. The threshold weight at which 100% ontogenic development was about 300 mg. Avoiding depletion of sucrose in the media is the key to achieving desired bulblet growth and ontogenic development in vitro and indicates growth could be sustained by subculture. The circumference of bulblets increases with its weight after subcultured in vitro. Therefore, a threshold circumference of about 3.2 cm in proportion to bulblet fresh weight of 300 - 350 mg may be an indicator of ontogenic development.

Authors: Hoque Rabbi , Borna Rita Sarah , Hoque M Imdadul , Sarker RH
Published: July 2020

Poor seed germination is the main obstacle for seed propagation of Rauwolfia tetraphylla L. in nature. The high viability (83.1%) of seeds in nature and the presence of viable embryo indicate that viability is not the only reason behind poor seed germination of this valuable medicinal plant. However, to overcome the problem of poor seed propagation, an efficient protocol has been developed for R. tetraphylla. Among the various treatments the maximum rate of ex vitro seed germination (13.33%) was found when the seeds were treated with 100 ppm of GA3. Response of in vitro germination was found to vary under different conditions. Not only that the rate was much higher compared to ex vitro germination. The rate of seed germination was found to be 78% in MS without PGR (plant growth regulator) supplements, while it was 70 and 78% in cotton bed under light and dark, respectively. It was 80% in incubator at 37ºC. In R. tetraphylla the hard seed coat is regarded as one of the barriers for germination and it can be easily eliminated by removing the hard seed coat. In vitro raised plantlets were reared in nature following proper acclimatization where they produced flowers as well as seeds. Apart from the said investigation, a method for in vitro shoot formation was also developed. Best response (90.7%) towards in vitro shoot regeneration was obtained from nodal segment when they were cultured on MS supplemented with 2.2 mg/l BA and 0.1 mg/l NAA. It took about 10-12 days to initiate shoots. About 9.9 ± 0.87 shoots were obtained per explants and their length was recorded as 2.28 ± 0.21 cm after six weeks. Various concentrations of IBA and NAA were used for in vitro root induction, but the in vitro raised shoots did not produce roots.

Published: July 2020

Plant extracts were evaluated on bacteria isolated from poultry farm for developing substitutive therapeutic agent of antibiotics. A diverse range of bacterial load observed both in total viable count (TVC) and in total coliform count (TCC) in 30 samples randomly collected from poultry feeds, drinking water and faeces. A total of six bacterial isolates e.g. Pseudomonas spp., Aeromonas spp., Citrobacter spp., Vibrio spp., Escherichia coli and Plesiomonas spp. were found in the samples cultured in MacConkey Agar medium. Fifteen antibiotics were studied against bacterial susceptibility. All the bacterial isolates exhibited multi-antibiotic resistance (MAR) with gross resistance to erythromycin and ampicillin. E. coli had the highest MAR (53.3%), and Vibrio spp. as well as Plesiomonas spp. both had the same MAR (46.7%). Methanolic extract of Terminalia chebula and Azadirachta indica showed significant zone of inhibition against all the tested bacteria. These findings confirm the presence of multidrug resistant bacteria in poultry environment that reveals a possibility of cross-contamination to human and animals. The plant extracts could be developed into therapeutic drugs to rein antibiotic poultry resistant bacteria.

Authors: Werdani Yesiana Dwi Wahyu
Published: July 2020

Background: The stigma of cancer as a deadly disease greatly affects the patient’s perspective in shaping self-concept, which impacts on hopes and influences the stability of psychological well-being. The purpose of this study was to prove that the self-concept influences the hopes and psychological well-being of cancer survivors. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Samples were 90 cancer survivors from three public health centers in Surabaya, Indonesia taken by simple random sampling. All participants completed the instruments of the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, Herth Hope Index, and Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale. All the instruments were valid and reliable based on the test. Ethical feasibility has been conducted. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Test was applied to analyze the data with P < .05. Results: The demographic characteristics of cancer survivors include the age majority of 46-65 years (53%), female sex (80%), married (61%), having stage-III cancer (44%), diagnosed of cancer for 1–6 years (56%), having support system from nuclear families (73%), and actively involved in the community (66%). The mean score of self-concept is 78.2, hope 38.2, and psychological well- being 76.3. Self-concept had a significant effect on hope (r = .783, P = .000) and psychological well-being (r = .611, P = .000) Conclusions: Cancer survivors who had positive self-concepts are more likely to accept themselves, which triggers the formation of high hope for recovery and the achievement of positive psychological well-being.

Higher risk of developing cancer in diabetic patients, especially in liver, endometrial, pancreatic, kidney, colorectal, bladder, and breast cancer, was already shown in several previous studies. This review will explain the possible DM pathogenesis that plays a role in carcinogenesis using the simple but thorough concept of insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and chronic inflammation. By knowing the link, it is hoped that this review can be useful in developing cancer prevention plans for those with diabetes.
Over-Expression of Osteopontin as Potential Predictive Biomarker for Bladder Cancer Treatment
Authors: Zulfiqqar Andy , Soerohardjo Indrawarman , Anwar Sumadi Lukman
Published: July 2020

Background: Current options for management of bladder cancer (BCa) still depend on traditional clinical determinants of stage and histological grade which often do not reflect the biological entity of the tumors. Therefore, new biomarkers are required to better determine suitable treatments for different types of bladder cancers. Recent research has shown osteopontin (OPN) expressions correlate with clinic-pathological variables and outcomes of bladder cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of OPN in the Indonesian population, and it’s potential role as an immune-targeting therapy of BCa. Methods: Total RNAs from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were extracted from 49 patients with bladder cancer consisting of normal histopathology (n = 4), chronic cystitis (n = 15), non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC, n = 15), and muscle-invasive breast cancer (MIBC, n = 15). The expression of OPN was measured using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results: The baseline clinical and histo-pathological characteristics were not statistically different. The expression of OPN was statistically higher in bladder cancer compared to normal histology tissues (P < .001). The expression of OPN was statistically higher in MIBC compared to NMIBC (P < .001). Conclusions: The expression of OPN was significantly higher in bladder cancer and compared to NIMBC, the OPN expression in MIBC was significantly higher rendering the potential role of OPN expression as a surrogate biomarker marker to determine suitable treatment options for patients with bladder cancer.

Authors: Kurniawan Andree , Lugito Nata Pratama Hardjo , Baskoro Bernard Agung , Halim Devina Adella
Published: July 2020

Introduction: The number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the world has been increasing significantly since December 2019. Cancer patients are one of the vulnerable populations to become severe cases of COVID-19 or death when they are contacted with COVID-19. A treatment delay is associated with higher breast cancer-specific mortality and all-cause mortality. However, there is still limited data about how to manage cancer patients in this pandemic of COVID-19. This study aims to appraise the current evidence about the management of cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: We searched and found 16 articles evaluating the management of cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic by searching in PubMed and EMBASE databases. We only included articles discussing COVID-19 and cancer in adults. There were three observational trials, four review articles, two case reports, six letters to the editor, and one guideline.Results: There were several recommendations regarding patient care in the COVID-19 era. Firstly, outpatient visits, such as follow-up and surveillance of cancer patients, should be postponed. Alternatively, they can do teleconsultation, and their drugs will be delivered to their homes. Stratification and screening for the risk of COVID-19 infection should be done to those who needed urgent or emergency surgery. Otherwise, elective surgery should be postponed. However, several cases can be proceeded after discussion in the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). Adjuvant and palliative chemotherapy should also be done as scheduled after discussing in MDT. Patients with ongoing radiation treatment should be continued as daily scheduled. Meanwhile, new patients should be carefully evaluated, and those with stable cancer can be postponed for treatment Conclusions: There is still scarce evidence related to the management of cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further studies, in terms of stratification, risk, and management of cancer patients during the pandemic, need to be done to get better evidence on it.

At the end of 2019, the novel coronavirus (CoV) of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), named SARS- CoV-2 was approved as a microbial agent that causes viral pneumonia in patients who are linked epidemiologically to the seafood market in Wuhan (Wuhan) Hubei province, China [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated the coronavirus or COVID-19 as a pandemic because it has spread globally in the world since March 11, 2020 [2]. There have been more than 8 million cases reported with more than 450 thousand deaths around the world until June 19, 2020 [3]. Indonesia reported the first cases of COVID-19 in early March 2020 and currently 43,803 cases with 2,373 deaths [4]. Indonesia has the highest cases of COVID-19 in Southeast Asia [5]. WHO stated that according to the current evidence, coronavirus is transmitted among people through respiratory droplets and contact routes [6-8]. Droplet transmission is different from airborne disease. Droplet transmission occurs when a person closely contacted (within 1 m) with someone who has respiratory symptoms (e.g. coughing or sneezing,) and was therefore at risk of having his/her mucosae (mouth and nose) or conjunctiva (eyes) exposed to potentially infective respiratory droplets. Droplet transmission may also occur through fomites in the immediate environment around the infected person [9]. Increasing cases occur continuously become alert for our institution as health care providers.

Vexata quaestio: sobre las dilaciones parlamentarias en la designación de titulares de órganos constitucionales
Authors: López Guerra Luis
Published: July 2020

Los repetidos y frecuentes retrasos en la designación parlamentaria de los miembros de órganos constitucionales representan un serio problema para el sistema político español, particularmente respecto de aquellos órganos relevantes en el ámbito de la Justicia, como son el Tribunal Constitucional, el Tribunal de Cuentas y el Consejo General del Poder Judicial. Tales dilaciones pueden provocar no sólo disfunciones en la labor de esos órganos, sino también graves peligros para la imparcialidad e independencia judicial. En el presente artículo, tras una breve descripción del alcance de esas dilaciones, se analizan algunas propuestas de reforma efectuadas, incluyendo la supresión de prórrogas del mandato de los designados, la propuesta de candidatos por entidades fuera del Parlamento y la alteración del cómputo del mandato de los elegidos. Analizando varios ejemplos de dilaciones, se efectúan algunas propuestas de reforma del proceso parlamentario de designación, mediante el establecimiento formal de plazos rígidos para la presentación de candidaturas y su votación por las Cámaras.

El caso Junqueras
Authors: Aranda Álvarez Elviro
Published: July 2020

El Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea aclara en esta sentencia, además del momento de la adquisición de la condición de parlamentario europeo, el alcance personal, temporal y material de las inmunidades de las que gozan dichos diputados. El Tribunal sostiene que una persona que es elegida al Parlamento Europeo adquiere la condición de europarlamentaria como resultado de las elecciones una vez proclamada por la junta electoral y, a partir del momento de la declaración de los resultados, goza de las inmunidades garantizadas por el artículo 9 del Protocolo (núm. 7) sobre privilegios e inmunidades de los eurodiputados.
Un paso más en contra de la “autotutela parlamentaria”
Authors: Garrote de Marcos María
Published: July 2020

En la sentencia GK c. Bélgica el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos aborda una vez más las garantías que ofrecen los sistemas exclusivamente parlamentarios de verificación de actas y supervisión de mandatos en los que no se contempla ninguna instancia ulterior de carácter jurisdiccional. Muy pocos países europeos mantienen esta tradicional prerrogativa liberal, típica del parlamentarismo del siglo XIX. El examen de la validez de la renuncia de una senadora belga sirve de pretexto para poner el foco en las deficiencias registradas en el procedimiento parlamentario utilizado, dominado por la enorme discrecionalidad reconocida a la Cámara y la ausencia de garantías frente la arbitrariedad. La resolución de la Corte, sin innovar en exceso, permite confirmar la línea que se había iniciado con decisiones anteriores, en las que profundiza en la vertiente procesal de los derechos incluidos en el artículo 3 del Protocolo Adicional. El caso planteado en GK c. Bélgica ofrece interés al tratarse de uno de los pocos asuntos que escapan del derecho estrictamente electoral y entran de lleno en el derecho parlamentario, con la originalidad añadida de que el sistema belga pertenece al modelo parlamentario puro que, en este caso, se muestra en franco retroceso.

O monitoramento de fenômenos que ocorrem na natureza, sejam eles naturais ou antrópicos, é uma importante técnica para mitigar seus efeitos negativos. Este estudo tem objetivo de realizar a análise espaço-temporal da ocorrência de focos de calor em Santa Helena de Goiás nos anos de 2015, 2016 e 2017. A base de dados cartográficos consistiu em limites municipais; dados espaciais de focos de calor para os anos de 2015, 2016 e 2017; bem como imagem de satélite para a identificação do uso e cobertura do solo. Os dados de foco de calor foram obtidos por meio da plataforma do Instituto de Pesquisas Espaciais na página eletrônica “Bdqueimadas”, os dados foram adquiridos em extensão shapefile (.shp). Estes dados são gerados a partir de imagens de sensores a bordo dos satélites polares e satélites geoestacionários, sendo os focos de calor para o referido estudo foram derivados do processamento e integração de dados diários de diferentes sensores. Durante o período houve redução de 32,60% das ocorrências entre 2015 e 2016. Enquanto que entre 2016 e 2017 houve aumento de 28,76% entre os dois períodos. O total de ocorrências no período foi 2041 focos de calor, sendo 38,17%, em 2015, 25,72% em 2016 e 36,11% em 2017. Foi evidenciada, portanto, a importância do uso de ferramentas de geoprocessamento para identificar áreas com histórico de focos de calor no município de Santa Helena de Goiás, assim auxiliando em medidas públicas que visem reduzir e precaver estas ocorrências para que tenham menor proporção e prejuízos.

O propósito deste estudo foi descrever o perfil profissiográfico dos atingidos pela queda da barragem de Fundão, ocorrida em 2015, na cidade de Mariana (Minas Gerais – Brasil). Tal se justifica pela perda de trabalho por parte dos atingidos e pela necessidade deles de adequação de perfil profissional, considerando-se os condicionantes do mercado da região de Mariana-MG. Esse primeiro esforço acadêmico de compreensão do perfil profissional dos atingidos pela queda da barragem de Fundão contribui para o desenho de políticas públicas, projetos de pesquisa e extensão universitários e/ou propostas de ações de parceiros, que tenham como objetivo a busca pela reconstrução dos meios de trabalho dos atingidos ou a capacitação dos mesmos para o mercado de trabalho de Mariana e região. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva conclusiva, com a aplicação de 62 questionários junto aos atingidos. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se as técnicas de estatística descritiva e análise de conteúdo. O perfil profissiográfico dos atingidos pela queda da barragem de Fundão apresenta dados importantes sobre a dificuldade de recolocação profissional deste público na região de Mariana-MG.Muito se deve à diferente lógica de trabalho que os mesmos possuíam em suas localidades de origem. Perspectivas de futuro, no entanto, são vislumbradas pelos atingidos, como forma de reconstrução de suas vidas no âmbito do trabalho.
Abordagens qualitativas em estudos sobre pobreza: uma revisão estruturada da literatura

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar uma análise bibliométrica e identificar as técnicas qualitativas utilizadas nas pesquisas sobre pobreza no período de 2015 a 03 de março de 2020, além de discutir as principais vantagens e desvantagens associadas a essas técnicas. Para tanto, foi utilizada a base de dados SCOPUS da qual foram identificados os estudos mais relevantes, os periódicos que mais publicaram sobre o assunto, e construído um quadro com os objetivos e técnicas qualitativas utilizadas pelos autores, a partir de 43 artigos científicos, publicados em 38 periódicos e escritos por 121 autores e co-autores. Constatou-se que as pesquisas qualitativas sobre o tema da pobreza distinguem-se de acordo com o público e a localidade alvo, não havendo um padrão de técnicas utilizadas, as quais dependerão dos problemas e objetivos da pesquisa, porém algumas técnicas foram mais comumente utilizadas como observação em campo, observação participante, entrevistas em profundidade, grupo focal, análise de conteúdo e análise temática. As técnicas qualitativas possibilitaram aos pesquisadores o entendimento em profundidade das experiências e comportamentos dos grupos investigados, a identificação de constructos emergentes e a (re)construção de suas percepções sobre os objetos/problemas de pesquisa, contribuindo para a apreensão das causas e efeitos da pobreza em toda a sua complexidade. A impossibilidade de generalização dos resultados, a necessidade de investigações longitudinais que exigem grande dispêndio de tempo e recursos financeiros, a impossibilidade de conhecer a amostra, a veracidade das informações e de captação de narrativas não verbais nas pesquisas em mídias sociais foram algumas limitações identificadas.

Ao longo da evolução, as plantas se adaptaram aos diferentes habitats terrestres e desenvolveram a capacidade de interagir com diferentes espécies de seres vivos, dentre os quais, destacam-se os fungos, e tem apresentado grande interesse biotecnológico ou científico e têm sido isolados e estudados a partir de plantas em diferentes biomas naturais. Com isso, objetivou-se identificar fungos endofíticos cultiváveis associados a Bromeliaceae da restinga de Jurubatiba, Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Duas coletas foram realizadas no Parque Nacional de Restingas de Jurubatiba (PNRJ), localizada na costa norte do estado. Amostras de folhas plantas sadias para o isolamento de fungos endofíticos foram coletadas das espécies de bromélias habitantes desta restinga: Aechmea nudicaulis (L.) Griseb. (coleta  1) e Bromelia antiacantha Bertol (coleta 2).  As plantas foram coletadas de forma aleatória visando-se cobrir toda a sua faixa mais representativa. Em laboratório, sob condições assépticas, efetuou-se procedimento de isolamento de fungos endofíticos mantidos sob armazenamento e posteriormente, identificação dos fungos isolados, sob microscópio óptico. Identificou-se os gêneros fúngicos: Aspergillus sp., Bipolaris sp., Curvularia sp., Monilia sp., Nigrospora sp., Penicillium sp., Pestalotiopsis sp., e Trichoderma sp.  Isolados de Bipolaris sp., Curvularia sp. e Monilia sp. foram identificados em ambas bromélias coletadas. Dentro de cada gênero, os isolados foram agrupados e caracterizados em subtipos e, com base em levantamento bibliográfico, os fungos endofíticos encontrados poderão ser estudados para diferentes fins biotecnológicos e aplicabilidade nas diferentes vertentes do conhecimento, sendo que esse foi o primeiro relato de fungos endofíticos nessas espécies de bromélias.
