Thermal Analysis of Fats from Reformulated Emulsified Meat Sausages by Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Authors: MOMCHILOVA Maria , MARUDOVA Maria , GRADINARSKA-IVANOVA Dilyana
Published: June 2022

This paper investigates the possibilities of using two types of vegetable oil emulsions as animal fat substitutes in cooked emulsified sausages. The sausage samples were made with full or partial substitution of pork back fat with vegetable oil emulsions. The use of vegetable oils in meat sausage formulations as animal fat substitutes led to a reduction in the SFA/UFA ratio. The PUFA/SFA ratio was improved in the samples where the animal fat was substituted with chia oil (samples 2, 4 and 6), and this ratio most probably resulted from the emulsion quantity added. In our study, the thermal characteristics of six types of reformulated sausages and one control sample were described, as well as the thermal characteristics of the pork back fat and the two oil types. The thermal analysis was performed using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) method. The resultant thermograms were directly related to the fatty acid profile of the cooked emulsified sausages, and the increase in the saturated fatty acids led to an increase in the share of the fats that melt at lower temperatures.

Published: June 2022

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a mixture of natural antimicrobials (maltodextrin, sodium chloride, citric acid, sodium citrate, silica, malic acid, citrus extract, and olive extract) to prevent Nematopsis spp. infestation of shrimp and to explore the biological mechanisms involved in preventing infection and improved performance. Our results show that the natural antimicrobials were able, in vitro, to reduce (p < 0.0001) the ability of N. messor, N. quadratum and N. annulipes to adhere to CHSE-214 epithelial cells. In vivo the natural antimicrobial mixture reduced (p < 0.0001) their gut colonisation, increased the (p < 0.05) shrimp survival rates and (p < 0.05) and also the relative growth rate and shrimp size. Moreover, the average daily gain, the total weight gain and the feed conversion rate were all improved over the 30 d trial. The beneficial effects on shrimp performance were associated with a significant increase (p = 0.0004) in the abundance of probiotic-like bacteria (Lactobacillus spp.). This positive change in gut bacterial composition was correlated with a significant increase in the expression of genes related to digestion or the immune response suggesting that natural antimicrobials can improve the performance of shrimp in vivo.

The exploration of the use of natural herbals drug, especially plant parts, is a major area of focus. Medicinal plants are being increasingly used to manage a wide numerous ailment. Tetrapleura tetraptera and Ricinodendron heudelotii are known among medicinal plants having beneficial effects due to their several biological activities. The fruits and seeds of these plants are mostly used in many parts of Africa as spice for flavoring soup and making stews. This update review focused on the phytochemical characterization, traditional used, nutritional values and biological activities of these species. Both are known to possess macro-and micro-nutrients. They are rich in majority to the phytochemical’s compounds including polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, reducing sugar, saponins and alkaloids etc. Their activities have been reported positive by several authors for both alcoholic and aqueous extractions. The plants exhibited appreciable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and good antimicrobial activities against the test microorganisms justifying their broad-spectrum use. The hypolipidaemian, hypocholesterolaemian and hypoglycaemic properties have been proven to be efficacy especially for the plant Tetrapleura tetraptera and much practice remains to be done with Ricinodendron heudelotii. The confirmation of these biological activities is related to the high content of bioactive molecules conferring beneficial properties to plants.

Published: June 2022

At the wine market level, there is a strong and permanent demand for Qualified Denomination of Origin (DOC) wines of high quality and low price. SCDVV Blaj has already a tradition of obtaining new wines from varieties homologated here. This study presents two new wines obtained at SCDVV Blaj, together with other six classical DOC Târnave wines. To obtain new wine which addresses the consumer quality demands keeping also a high quality. There were analyzed for comparison eight wines, six dry wines, one aromatic (Muscat Ottonel), and one semi-aromatic (Traminer roz). For all these samples, the following parameters were measured: % alcohol content, total acidity (g/L C4H6O6), volatile acidity (g/L CH3COOH), dry extract (g/L), non-reducing dry extract (g/L), relative density at 20°C and the total sugars (g/L). Selena and Blasius wines fulfill the standards for white dry DOC wines and we recommend their introduction on the wine market.

Published: June 2022

Most companion birds have no distinct sexual dimorphic traits. The aim of this study was to identify the CHD genes from sexual chromosomes of birds (ZW) from various tissue samples. Feathers, oral swabs, blood and various tissues (by necropsy) were collected from four companion bird species (Gallus gallus domesticus, Melopsittacus undulatus, Psittacus erithacus, Ara ararauna). Feathers were processed mechanically using the Tissue Lyser II. DNA isolation was performed using the Isolate II Genomic DNA, Bioline kit. PCR was performed according to Griffiths et al. (1998) using P2/P8 primers. Chicken whose DNA sexing was identified based on phenotypic characters, was confirmed by PCR. Budgerigars whose DNA sexing identified a male and female have been confirmed based on necropsy results. African Grey Parrot whose sex was identified by DNA sexing as female was confirmed based on a genetic sexing previously performed. The Blue and Yellow Macaw, whose sex was determined as male by DNA sexing, was confirmed based on necropsy results. DNA concentration was higher in blood samples than in oral swabs or feathers. Blood collection is considered an invasive procedure in birds. For feather samples, mechanical denaturation before DNA extraction is recommended. Oral swab samples are suitable for isolating and amplifying DNA in birds.

EDUCAÇÃO INTERPROFISSIONAL E INTEGRALIDADE DO CUIDADO: UMA LEITURA FILOSÓFICA CONTEMPORÂNEA DOS CONCEITOS
Authors: VIANA SIMONE BEATRIZ PEDROZO , HOSTINS REGINA CÉLIA LINHARES
Published: June 2022

RESUMO: Este artigo tem por objetivo aprofundar conceitos de interprofissionalidade e integralidade do cuidado, à luz da filosofia contemporânea, do constructo teórico de pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais e do depoimento de estudantes da área da saúde sobre a temática. A metodologia confere ao estudo caráter qualitativo, cujo suporte teórico filosófico está alicerçado nas discussões de Nietzsche, Foucault e Deleuze & Guattari, assim como na pesquisa de campo, aplicada a 17 estudantes ingressantes em cursos de graduação da área da saúde, mediante entrevista pela plataforma digital Google forms. Para tratamento dos dados, optou-se pela Análise do Conteúdo proposta por Bardin. Os resultados indicam que a interprofissionalidade não é um conteúdo ou uma técnica a ser ensinada, mas atitudes a serem desenvolvidas tanto no espaço profissional como no ensino em saúde, pautadas por comportamentos e interações interpessoais para o trabalho em equipe, de modo a alcançar a integralidade do cuidado. As dificuldades para efetivação vinculam-se à constituição do campo da saúde, às hierarquias instaladas como dispositivo de dominação, à espacialização da doença desconsiderando o ser humano e sua complexidade e à forma ideológica como se deu a construção de alguns conceitos que necessitam de maior delimitação para se tornarem realidade. Conclui-se que não há fórmulas ou modelos para o desenvolvimento da educação interprofissional, tampouco conceitos universalizantes sobre integralidade do cuidado e o produto dessa relação. O que existem são doutrinas, princípios ontológicos e teleológicos que guiam pensamentos e ações, a partir de referenciais teóricos, culturais e sociais associados às experiências ou sentimentos vivenciados.
The impact of agroecosystem on ecological footprint: Fresh evidence in the perspective of existing agriculture and green Pakistan
Authors: Ullah Arif , Salem Sultan , Kang Shijia
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT: The focus of this research study investigated the impact of agroecosystem on the ecological footprint in Pakistan, using the time series data over the period from 1990 to 2019. The econometric methods of time series were employed to investigate the long-term association between an agroecosystem and ecological footprint. After performing the stationarity tests Johansen approach was employed. Results of the Johansen method imply that long-term co-integration exists between the exogenous and endogenous variables. Moreover, the ARDL model was performed and long-run results were validated by the bound testing approach. The elasticity of the short-run form of the ARDL model reveals that agricultural land, employment, energy consumption, fertilizer use, and biomass burned dry matter in agriculture have a positive relationship with the agroecosystem. In contrast in the log-run form of ARDL agricultural land, employment, energy consumption, fertilizer use in agriculture and temperature have a positive impact on ecological footprint. Results of the impulse response function revealed that employment and fertilizer use in agriculture have positive while energy consumption and livestock in number have a negative influence on the ecological footprint. Thus, rigorous practices of agriculture for higher production put extra pressure on the agroecosystem. As a result, the stability of the agroecosystem deteriorates and reduces. To minimize the ecological ecosystem, modern technology is required to reduce carbon emission, enhance greener production and improve the biocapacity of the land in the country. This study would help the researcher, planner, policymaker and academicians to provide a proper guideline and vision to provide sustainable food and environment.

Abstract The antidiabetic and hepato-renal protective effects of Citrullus colocynthis and Momordica charantia ethanol extracts were investigated in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic male albino rats. Diabetic rats were treated with C. colocynthis, M. charantia or C. colocynthis + M. charantia mixed extract at a dose of 250 mg /kg body weight per oral per day for 21 days. The mean body weight of all the diabetic rat groups on day 1 of treatment (day 10 of diabetes) was significantly lower than the normal control rat group (P<0.05). The blood glucose level of all the diabetic rat groups on day 1 of treatment (day 10 of diabetes) was significantly (P<0.05) higher (> 200 mg/dl) than the normal control rat group (95.5 ± 2.7). At the end of treatment (day 21), the diabetic rats treated with plant extracts showed significant increase (P<0.05) in body weight and significant (P<0.05) reduction in blood glucose level when compared to diabetic control animals. Significant increase (< 0.05) was observed in the serum bilirubin, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), urea and creatinine levels of diabetic control rat group. The serum levels of these liver and kidney-related parameters of diabetic rats treated with plant extract were significantly lower when compared to diabetic control rat group (p < 0.05). Photomicrographs of liver and kidney microsections from diabetic rats treated with these plant extracts showed amelioration in the hepato-renal histoarchitectures. It was concluded that the C. colocynthis and M. charantia methanol extracts are antidiabetic and hepato-renal protective in STZ induced diabetic male rats. Treatment of the diabetic rats with C. colocynthis + M. charantia mixed extract is more effective in the amelioration of diabetes and hepato-renal injuries in STZ induced diabetic male rats.

Abstract Growing human population is a solemn risk to biodiversity at a global level. Massive anthropogenic pressure and invasion in the natural habitats initiated the human-wildlife conflict in rural areas. Present study aimed to assess human-wildlife conflict in Musk Deer National Park (MDNP) from 2013 to 2018. Results revealed an estimated 241784 nomadic and 5589 residential livestock heads grazed in different areas of MDNP during the summer season. A total of 126 heads were depredated by carnivores during the study period. Majority (n=39) of livestock heads were killed in May (n=29). Livestock depredation resulted in economic losses worth 3.115 million PKRs (25744 US$) to the herder community while farmers received 1.629 million PKRs (13466 US$) losses due to crop raiding. Most (64%) of the respondents believed human-wildlife conflict heightened due to scarcity of food or prey in the natural habitats of carnivores. Majority (92%) of the respondents did not like the presence of predators in MDNP. Loss compensation schemes could turn this negative attitude into the positive one and increase tolerance about the presence of carnivores in their vicinity. This study provides an insight into the human-wildlife conflict in MDNP and paves a way for understanding the conflict and conservation of carnivore species in the study area.

Abstract Phytoremediation is an ecofriendly technique to clean heavy metals from contaminated soil by the use of high biomass producing plant species. Chelators can help to improve this biological technique by increasing metal solubility. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted to determine the effect of the chelators EDTA and citric acid (CA) in phytoremediation of Ni contaminated soil by using Brassica napus (canola). Two cultivars of B. napus, Con-II (tolerant) and Oscar (sensitive), were selected after screening and exposed to NiSO4 at 30 ppm at the time of sowing. CA (10 mM) and EDTA (1.5 mM) were applied either alone or in combination with each other after two weeks of Ni treatments. Different parameters like morpho-physiological and biochemical data were recorded after 15 days of chelate application. The results highlighted the successful use of chelating agents (CA and EDTA) not only to ameliorate Ni stress but also to enhance Ni accumulation which is prerequisite for phytoremediation. The basal application of 10 mMCA and 1.5 mM EDTA concentration proved to be effective for the growth of plants. The combination of chelating agents failed to show any synergistic effects.
A model-based evaluation of farmers' income variability under climate change (case study: autumn crops in Iran)
Authors: Amani-Male O. , Feizabadi Y. , Norouzi G.
Published: June 2022

Abstract The study strives to analyze the potential variations of farmers' income under climate change by using Ricardian approach. The case study was Mazandaran province of Iran and three autumn crops, i.e. wheat, barley and canola were considered as the investigated crops. The Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator (LARS-WG) model was selected to downscale the climate data. Three climate variables were downscaled for the years 2020-2080 under three climate scenarios: optimistic (RCP2.6), medium (RCP4.5), and pessimistic (RCP8.5). The Ricardian approach was also employed to predict the economics of climate change. Accordingly, the mean monthly temperature of the province is projected to have an upward trend under all climate scenarios, however, the rainfall pattern would be varied. The results of economic impacts of climate change also approved that the net income of investigated crops would be different trends under climate change scenarios. Accordingly, the variations of air temperature and rainfall would lead that the net income increases for wheat and barley, while it decreases for canola.

Abstract Background The quantity and quality of Brazilian scientific output increases decade by decade. However, there is a tendency to undervalue Brazilian journals, illustrated by the low number of citations compared with texts in international journals, with the tacit justification that foreign articles are of superior quality. Objectives To investigate the differences in numbers of citations of Brazilian and international periodicals in three Brazilian journals from 2016 to 2020. Methods All articles published in the Journal of the Brazilian College of Surgeons, in the Jornal Vascular Brasileiro, and in Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed. The references of these studies were analyzed, summing the total number of citations and classifying them as published in Brazilian or foreign journals. Results A total of 902 articles were analyzed, totaling 23,394 references, with a mean of 25.81 ± 8.59 references per article. Of these, 2,680 (11.45%) were Brazilian, equating to a mean of 2.95 ± 3.79 Brazilian references per article. Conclusions It is necessary to improve appreciation of Brazilian periodicals, especially among Brazilian researchers and institutions responsible for science funding.

Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT This retrospective case series study describes the clinical and vascular ultrasound findings of 26 dogs diagnosed with abdominal thrombosis. Images were selected based on the detection of intravascular echogenic thrombus or the absence of vascular flow on color Doppler, confirmed by surgery or necropsy. Images were acquired using the Mylab 40 model, with linear and microconvex multifrequency probes. All the reports were evaluated along with the corresponding images by a veterinary diagnostic imaging radiologist. The ultrasonographic aspects evaluated were echogenicity (92.3%), anechogenicity (7.7%), vascularization (11.5%), mineralization (15.4%), and recanalization (7.7%) of the thrombosis. The vascular and hemodynamic findings were dilation of the affected vein (57.7%), total occlusion of blood flow (30.8%), presence of turbulent flow (65.38%), and visualization of smoke signal (blood flow detected as moving echogenic points in dynamic bidimensional mode) (11.5%). Neoplasms (19 cases) and nephropathies (13 cases) were the most common clinical conditions in the affected dogs. Eleven cases of vascular invasion due to adrenal neoplasms were identified. The results indicate that the vascular ultrasound examination is an important method for diagnosis, as 23 of the 26 cases did not show any clinical signs of thrombosis.

ABSTRACT Due to the conditions in which traditional sheep production systems operate, the evaluation of animal growth from live weight (LW) is limited by the high cost of the livestock scale as well as the sophisticated maintenance required. In this scenario, in recent years, biometric measurements have been investigated as an accurate indirect method to predict the LW of farm animals. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to examine different models for predicting the body weight of growing lambs using the body volume (BV) formula. Body volume, heart girth (HG) and body length (BL) data of 290 lambs aged between two and eight months were recorded. Body volume was calculated from HG and BL data using a formula that calculates the volume of a cylinder. The estimation of LW from the BV formula was achieved through regression equations using three mathematical models (linear, quadratic and exponential). The mean values of LW, HG, BL and BV of the lambs were 29.12±12.04kg, 70.00±11.69cm, 38.40±6.43cm and 23.93±9.90dm3, respectively. The correlation coefficient between LW and BV was r = 0.96 (P<0.001). The quadratic model showed the highest coefficient of determination (0.93) and the lowest prediction error (3.29kg). Under the experimental conditions adopted in this study, it is possible to predict the live weight of growing lambs using the body volume formula.

Published: June 2022

RESUMO Introdução: Estudos mostram que prefeitos impactam a votação de seus partidos nas eleições para deputado federal. Mas o que aumenta a capacidade dos prefeitos em influenciar esses resultados? E como essa influência difere quando prefeitos apoiam candidatos de outro partido? Argumentamos que a popularidade do prefeito condiciona sua capacidade de influência, o que incentiva deputados a dedicarem atenção às demandas dos prefeitos, pois necessitam o apoio dos prefeitos na busca por reeleição. Materiais e Métodos: Com pesquisas de survey, mostramos que deputados reconhecem a importância dos prefeitos em seu trabalho como representante e eleitores estão mais propensos a aceitar a indicação dos prefeitos para os deputados quando a gestão municipal é bem avaliada. Resultados: Usando dados originais sobre indicações, também mostramos que candidatos apoiados por prefeitos melhoram seu desempenho eleitoral, especialmente quando prefeitos são bem avaliados, o que leva ao aumento de votos do partido. Entretanto, quando o prefeito apoia um candidato de outro partido, a aprovação deixa de ter relação com o desempenho de seu partido na eleição de deputados federais. Discussão: O artigo permite problematizar dois pontos, a importância de deputados serem apoiados por prefeitos bem avaliados e a disposição de prefeitos para apoiarem candidatos de outros partidos.
Impacts of technological and organizational changes on working conditions in Brazilian sugarcane: an analysis on 2000-2019
Authors: Gomes Marcel , Walter Arnaldo
Published: June 2022

Abstract: This article analyses changes in working conditions in sugarcane in the light of Brazilian legislation in the 20 years, when the sector expanded and adopted new technological solutions and management paths. A central theme is understanding the effects of harvesting mechanization, which reached 90% of the national production on average. In total, 15,488 notices of violation were analysed, issued between 2000 and 2019 against the 280 business groups authorized by the ANP (National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels) to produce fuel ethanol from sugarcane, both in their agricultural and industrial operations. For comparisons purposes, the country was divided into three major producing regions – São Paulo, Northeast and Other States. The most common irregularities refer to workers’ health and safety, mandatory rest, working hours, and pay. Notices of violation saw an upward trend until 2013, given the expansion of sugarcane throughout the country and authorities’ strategy to pressure the sector and improve Brazilian ethanol’s international reputation. The number of fines began to fall in 2014. Among the causes, intensification of mechanized harvesting reduced the number of workers in manual cutting – where irregularities were concentrated – and reduction in the impulse towards enforcement, given the Brazilian government’s fiscal crisis.

Published: June 2022

Abstract: Transgenic beans has encountered resistance to its dissemination in the market. This study investigates whether the new cultivar of transgenic beans (BRS FC401 RMD) developed by Embrapa, in Brazil, has the potential for adoption in the producer and consumer markets. We also aim to identify factors that explain this adoption. Through semi-structured interviews, data were collected from non-probabilistic convenience samples of 37 producers and 100 bean consumers in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistics regression models. The results indicate that producers are prone to planting the transgenic bean, and the variables that explain this preference are: total area of property (in hectares), time of experience on the activity (in years) and bean bag sale price. It was also identified that consumers are willing to include transgenic beans in their diets, and the variables explaining this decision are: amount of information received, meaning of the symbol (T), product safety and reasons for consumption. This study contributes to discussions on the adoption of transgenic cultivars, especially those related to the new BRS FC401 RMD bean, highlighting aspects that can serve as input to the next stages of development of the cultivar.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify risk factors for peripheral intravenous catheter-related phlebitis in adult patients. Method: This is a post hoc analysis of a randomized clinical trial, totaling 1,319 patients. Demographic and clinical variables related to therapy and phlebitis were investigated. For data analysis, frequencies, measures of central tendency and dispersion were calculated, and Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used, with logistic regression, ROC curve, and Odds Ratio calculation (95% confidence interval; 5% significance level) being implemented. Results: Of the 1,319 participants, 80 (6.1%) developed phlebitis. The following were associated with the occurrence of phlebitis: reduced mobility (p = 0.015), family history of deep vein thrombosis (p = 0.05), catheterization of veins on the back of the hand (p = 0.012), pain (p < 0.01), Amoxicillin-Potassium Clavulanate (p = 0.015), and Omeprazole Sodium (p = 0.029). Conclusion: Risk factors for phlebitis involved intrinsic and extrinsic factors to the patient, indicating preventive nursing interventions such as promoting patient mobility, not catheterizing veins in the dorsal arch of the hand, cautious infusion of risk drugs, and valuing pain complaints.

Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT This is a reflective study aiming to analyze the implementation of Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) and provide perspectives regarding the role of these professionals in the Region of the Americas, particularly in Brazil. Several countries in the world have introduced advanced nursing roles to improve quality of care and reduce health care costs. However, these roles have not been fully implemented in Latin American countries, although some countries have held advanced discussions about it and proposed graduated courses. Brazil fulfills all conditions necessary for the implementation of the education of advanced practice nurses. The investment in advanced practice nurses will result in positive outcomes for the health of the population in a short period of time, with lower costs for governments than other possible actions. It is also a strategic way to address the persistent pressure on health services, whether related to the COVID-19 pandemic or other health needs of the population, and it can be a viable strategy for the provision of care to vulnerable populations and those living in remote areas.

RESUMO Estudo reflexivo com objetivo de analisar a implementação da Enfermagem de Práticas Avançadas (EPA) e as perspectivas de atuação deste profissional na Região das Américas, com enfoque no Brasil. Diversos países têm introduzido papeis avançados para enfermeiros no intuito de melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados e para reduzir custos em saúde. Este papel não está totalmente implementado nos países da América Latina, ainda que alguns países tenham avançado nas discussões sobre o tema e na proposição de cursos de pós-graduação. O Brasil tem plenas condições para implementação de enfermeiros de prática avançada. O investimento em enfermeiros de prática avançada implicará em resultados positivos para a saúde da população em um curto período de tempo e com menores custos para os governos, em comparação com outras possíveis ações. Também se configura como estratégia de enfrentamento da pressão nos serviços de saúde, seja em decorrência da pandemia de COVID-19, como para as demais necessidades de saúde da população; e pode ser uma estratégia viável na atenção de populações em situação de vulnerabilidade e em regiões remotas.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the practice of stealthing among university students and the associations between the profile of these young people and this practice. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out at a university campus in a city in the countryside of Sao Paulo. Data collection was carried out online by RedCap between May and September 2018, through questionnaires with identification data, sociodemographic characteristics and sexual and reproductive health. Data were analyzed by IBM-SPSS, version 17.0. Results: A total of 380 students participated in the study, aged between 18 and 24 years old, most of them unpaid students, coming from private education, not having a religion and being single. Most of them were biologically female and identified as cisgender and heterosexual women. As for stealthing, 1.33% of the participants had performed it and 11.44% had already undergone this practice. There was a significant association between having been stealthed and the variables female biological sex (p = 0.000) and identifying as a woman (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The occurrence of stealthing is higher among those who have been stealthed than among those who have done it and having been stealthed is associated with being female and identifying as a woman.

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the repercussions of a Reiki intervention on the well-being and self-reported health of nursing professionals. Method: this is a study with quasi-experiment characteristics, of before and after type, through intervention with Reiki, carried out with 14 nursing professionals from a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected between September 2019 and March 2020, through an audio-recorded interview, guided by the Roda da Vida instrument, whose graphic representation is a circumference, divided into 12 parts referring to different aspects of life, grouped into four quadrants: mental, emotional, practical and spiritual. Results: before intervention, there was a greater commitment in the emotional aspect, which remained after, but with a significant increase in the assigned score, indicating an improvement in satisfaction. Only one participant showed no increase in the score. The reflections showed that the professionals were dissatisfied and oblivious to their own lives in the four aspects evaluated and recognized that this impacted their health condition. After intervention, they showed positive repercussions and a new perspective of looking at life. Conclusion: the Reiki intervention promoted improvement in the self-reported health and general well-being of nursing professionals, characterized by contributions to mental, practical, emotional and spiritual issues.
EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN ICNP® AND SNOMED CT CONCEPTS: THEORETICAL REFLECTION
Authors: Cubas Marcia Regina , Nóbrega Maria Miriam Lima da
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: to reflect on the equivalence between the concepts of the International Classification for Nursing Practice and the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine International - Clinical Terms. Method: theoretical reflection based on the analysis of equivalence between the concepts of diagnoses, results and nursing interventions of the International Classification for Nursing Practice and the hierarchy of the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine International - Clinical Terms. The researchers' experience and articles on the subject provided support for analysis. Results: nursing diagnoses and results of the International Classification for Nursing Practice are present in the hierarchies "clinical finding", "disorder" and "problem situation", while the interventions are included in the hierarchies "procedure" and "regime/therapy". The main causes of non-equivalence are linked to the problems of the specificity of the concept. Cross-mapping will require analysis by nursing specialists to improve the representativeness of the concepts. The equivalence table must be translated into Brazilian Portuguese, but the entire Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine International - Clinical Terms lacks interdisciplinary work. Conclusion: the representation of the International Classification for Nursing Practice in systematized Nomenclature of Medicine International - Clinical Terms will bring benefits related to the clarity of concepts. The concepts of nursing classification that are not equivalent will require conceptual analysis. The lack of translation of the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine International - Clinical Terms for the Portuguese language will reflect the development of terminological subsets of the International Classification for Nursing Practice.
ESTRATÉGIAS DE DESENVOLVIMENTO NO BRASIL: COMPARANDO AUTORITARISMO (1974-1979) E DEMOCRACIA (2011-2016)
Authors: Pinho Carlos Eduardo Santos
Published: June 2022

RESUMO A partir de uma análise comparada e da mobilização da literatura de Ciência Política, Economia e Economia Política do Desenvolvimento, este artigo analisa as relações entre o Estado brasileiro, a burocracia econômica, o empresariado industrial e o capitalismo financeiro em duas estratégias de desenvolvimento similares, contudo, processadas em regimes políticos antípodas: o Nacional-Desenvolvimentismo Autoritário (1974-1979) e o Novo Desenvolvimentismo Democrático (2011-2016). Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que, no primeiro caso, o II Plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento (II PND) constituiu uma ação deliberada do Estado para transformar estruturalmente o capitalismo industrial e aprofundar a industrialização substitutiva de importações (ISI) a partir de um modelo de desenvolvimento pautado na mudança estrutural com endividamento. Tal paradigma refuta a ideologia do livre-mercado, mas enfrenta os poderosos interesses da grande imprensa e do capitalismo financeiro materializados na “campanha contra a estatização da economia”. No segundo caso, que assinala a primazia do capital financeiro rentista e improdutivo - fruto das profundas transformações da economia internacional na década de 1970 -, o governo Dilma Rousseff tentou inverter a tradicional “equação distributiva” no Brasil, fundamentada na “privatização dos ganhos” e na “socialização dos prejuízos”, que remetem aos governos de Getúlio Vargas e João Goulart. Ademais, buscou reforçar o modelo de desenvolvimento produtivo/industrializante, todavia, sucumbiu diante do poder do capital financeiro articulado politicamente a uma poderosa coalizão liberal-conservadora signatária de uma agenda socialmente regressiva e de destruição dos fundamentos da Constituição Federal de 1988. Ambos os experimentos evidenciam os obstáculos estruturais impostos pelo sistema financeiro a uma estratégia de desenvolvimento de longo prazo direcionada ao setor produtivo.

Abstract Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis Saint Hilaire) processing generates large amounts of powder that are not added to the final product. This powder has a similar composition to commercial yerba mate and it can be used to extract bioactive compounds. The work aims to prepare carrot pickles added with yerba mate powder extract to improve the Total Phenol Content (TPC) of the final product. The TPC and the color of the pickles were studied in the carrots and the liquid brine for a total of 120 days, by testing two storage temperatures (25 and 45 °C). The TPC was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and color parameters L*, a*, and b* were measured using a colorimeter. In addition, a sensory acceptability analysis was performed at the end of storage. Pickled carrots without extract addition showed significant losses of polyphenols during storage. The addition of increasing amounts of yerba mate powder extract significantly improved this parameter, thus achieving TPCs even higher than those of fresh carrots. The pasteurization, the addition of extract, and storage caused variations in the color of both fractions of the pickle, especially in the formulations with a higher proportion of yerba mate. However, the color changes were more important in the liquid brine, while in the carrots the variations were minimal. Sensory acceptability tests showed that the addition of extract did not influence the flavor of the pickles but caused changes in color acceptability. However, the product was accepted by consumers. The results showed that yerba mate powder extract can be added in small amounts into other foods for improving their TPC while causing minor modifications in color and sensory acceptability.
Psicologia, 60 anos, e a Crítica da Crítica
Authors: Costa Pedro Henrique Antunes da , Mendes Kíssila Teixeira
Published: June 2022

Resumo Num marco de 60 anos da regulamentação da psicologia, em momento de aguçamento da crise estrutural do capital, analisamos em que sentido a crítica na/da/à psicologia se desenvolve, como ela influi no recente desenvolvimento da profissão e suas implicações. Trata-se de um trabalho teórico em que dialogamos com exercícios analíticos críticos na psicologia brasileira desde o marxismo. Por um lado, verificamos a crítica na/da/à psicologia não apenas se desenvolvendo, como influindo no desenvolvimento dessa área no Brasil em direção a análises e explicações mais condizentes com a realidade, bem como a práticas mais comprometidas ética e politicamente, superando lacunas históricas. Por outro, constatamos inflexões e abrandamentos na crítica atrelados à conjuntura, sua institucionalização na academia (em termos da produção de conhecimento) e políticas sociais (referente ao trabalho profissional), formando uma crise na práxis da psicologia crítica: o aguçamento da crise estrutural do capital se expressando nas propostas críticas à/da/na psicologia. Como caminhos para a continuidade da crítica como motor do desenvolvimento da psicologia, sinalizamos: a) explicitação da dimensão ontológica na/da crítica e seus projetos ético-políticos de psicologia e sociedade; b) análises totalizantes, em vez de fragmentações da realidade; c) práxis como critério de verdade, superando a noção da crítica como algo em si ou mero exercício teórico descolado da realidade; d) emancipação humana como horizonte; e) resgate da radicalidade; e f) ir além das fronteiras da psicologia, em direção às lutas e movimentos sociais.

Authors: Piasson Douglas Leite , Freitas Marta Helena de
Published: June 2022

Resumo Esta pesquisa buscou conhecer as concepções de profissionais de psicologia no Brasil em relação à sua identidade profissional e à especificidade da intervenção psicológica, explorando nuances da representação social em torno da sua própria atuação. Empregou-se método misto, de cunho exploratório e descritivo, tendo como amostra 670 psicólogos e psicólogas brasileiros(as) de diferentes faixas etárias e regiões do país. Foi aplicado questionário virtual contendo questões fechadas sobre dados sociodemográficos e questões abertas sobre a identidade profissional. O material produzido com as respostas foi submetido à análise de conteúdo, com o auxílio do software IRaMuTeQ. Os resultados apontam que a identidade profissional das(os) participantes aparece muito associada ao modelo clínico de intervenção, tendo como enfoque o cuidado diante do adoecimento psíquico, ainda que diversos elementos indiquem um gradativo movimento em prol de materializar o compromisso social da profissão no atendimento às demandas emergentes do país.
