Relevance. The adoption of new technologies and the rapid emergence of innovation spur high-tech production and export-led economic growth. We aim to provide fresh evidence on the determinants of high-tech exports, considering different macroeconomic factors within the framework of the gravity model. Research Objective. The aim of the research is to empirically assess the impact of macroeconomic instability, tax policies, natural resources endowment, human capital, and institutional environment on the promotion of high-tech exports. Data and Methods. In considering the institutional indicator, six distinct indices from the World Bank are examined, and a common indicator is computed using principal component analysis. The econometric modeling uses a panel dataset covering the world's 80 largest economies from 1996 to 2019. To test the assumptions of the gravity model and tackle the heteroscedasticity problem, the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood methodology is employed. Results. Higher inflation and unemployment rates are found to significantly decrease high-tech exports, while government external debt contributes to their enhancement. Tight tax policy and an increase in tax contribution are counterproductive in spurring high-tech exports. A negative and significant result is found for resource endowment, indicating that an increase in resource exports is counterproductive for technological advances and high-tech production. In most cases, the institutional environment and human capital significantly promote high-tech exports. Conclusions. Based on the presented empirical findings, we offer recommendations for the government to stimulate high-tech exports.

RESUMO Introdução: o Brasil é líder mundial em cirurgia bariátrica. No entanto, o número de cirurgias realizadas no país ainda é desconhecido. É necessário um instrumento para monitorar a qualidade da assistência prestada. Este estudo avaliou a implantação de um Registro de Dados de Cirurgia Bariátrica no Brasil. Metodologia: O registro foi desenvolvido com a Dendrite Clinical Systems Ltd., com dados coletados prospectivamente em software na internet. Sete centros foram selecionados, baseado no volume cirúrgico e compromisso de inserção de dados. O projeto abrangeu três anos após implementação. Resultados: foram incluídos 1.363 procedimentos realizados por 17 cirurgiões. A maioria dos pacientes eram mulheres (67,2%), com idade média de 39 anos e IMC basal médio de 41,5kg/m2. Diabetes mellitus estava presente em 34,5% e hipertensão em 40,1%. Bypass gástrico em Y de Roux foi realizado em 79,3%, 95,5% por laparoscopia. Houve um óbito hospitalar de causa cardiovascular. A média de permanência hospitalar foi de 2,03 dias. A taxa de complicações relacionadas à cirurgia foi 0,97% no primeiro mês, com três reoperações. Seguimento de curto prazo foi registrado em 75,6% e de um ano em 21,64%. A perda de peso corporal total foi de 10% em 30 dias, aumentando para 33,3% após um ano, sem diferença entre técnicas cirúrgicas. Conclusões: o perfil populacional está de acordo com o registro global da IFSO. A principal dificuldade encontrada foi a baixa inserção de dados pós-operatórios. A experiência adquirida neste projeto ajudará no conhecimento da segurança e eficácia da cirurgia bariátrica no Brasil.

Syphilis has reemerged as a serious public health problem in Brazil and worldwide, disproportionately affecting men who have sex with men (MSM) and travestis and transgender women (TrTGW). Studies on sexually transmitted infections (STI) in adolescents from these key populations are relatively scarce. This is a Brazilian multi-center, cross study with prevalence analysis, using as baseline the PrEP1519 cohort of sexually active MSM and TrTGW adolescents, recruited from April 2019 to December 2020. Analyses were made using the dimensions of vulnerability to STI/HIV and logistic regression models were conducted to estimate the odds ratios of the association between the predictor variables and positive treponemal test for syphilis at the moment of entry in the study. In total, 677 participants were analyzed; participants’ median age was 18.9 years (IQR: 18.1-19.5); 70.5% (477) self-declared as black; 70.5% (474), as homosexuals/gays; and 48 (7.1%), as trans women or travestis. The baseline prevalence of syphilis was 21.3%. In the final logistic regression model, higher chance of syphilis was associated with: self-reported episode of STI in the last 12 months (OR = 5.92; 95%CI: 3.74-9.37), sex worker (OR = 3.39; 95%CI: 1.32-8.78), and < 11 years of schooling (OR = 1.76; 95%CI: 1.13-2.74). The prevalence of syphilis among MSM/TrTGW adolescents aged from 15 to 19 years was alarming, much higher than the described for the general population within this age range and associated with vulnerability factors. This reinforces the urgent need to strengthen public health programs to debate about race, gender, sexuality, and prevention.

Published: May 2024

This study aimed to analyze factors associated with the unwillingness to prescribe pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) by health care professionals of specialized HIV/AIDS services. This is a cross-sectional study with 252 health care professionals in 29 specialized care services (SCSs) in HIV/AIDS in 21 municipalities in the state of Bahia, Brazil. The inclusion criterion was that the professional had worked for at least six months in the service. Sociodemographic, occupational, and behavioral data were collected using a questionnaire. Logistic regression was performed with an estimation of crude and adjusted odds ratio (OR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). The unwillingness to prescribe PrEP was 15.2% (95%CI: 10.8-19.6). The factors associated with unwillingness to prescribe PrEP were non-prescription of HIV self-tests for key populations (adjustedOR = 5.4; 95%CI: 1.3-22.4) nor post-exposure prophylaxis (adjustedOR = 2.00; 95%CI: 1.3-3.1), location of the SCS in the state capital (adjustedOR = 3.9; 95%CI: 1.4-10.2), and SCSs without PrEP offer (adjustedOR = 1.7; 95%CI: 1.1-2.8); professionals who have not reported the need to conduct training and courses (adjustedOR = 1.3; 95%CI: 1.1-1.8), or training with more experienced professionals (adjustedOR = 1.8; 95%CI: 1.1-3.8), was associated with a lower proportion of unwillingness to prescribe PrEP. Our results indicate that health care professionals’ contextual, organizational, and training factors can contribute to PrEP indication. We suggest expanding ongoing training in combined HIV prevention among health care professionals and increasing the availability of PrEP in health services.
BISHOP-KOOP OSTOMY REVISITED: A “TEST-DRIVE” INTESTINAL DIVERSION FOR CHILDREN WITH SUSPECTED BOWEL DYSMOTILITY
Authors: Silva Márcia Alessandra Cavalaro Pereira da , Miranda Márcio Lopes , Oliveira-Filho António Gonçalves , Bustorff-Silva Joaquim Murray
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Bishop-Koop ileostomy has been widely used in pediatric patients with the intention of including as much bowel as possible in the intestinal transit early in the management of children with meconium ileus and intestinal atresia. In recent years, we have been using it as an alternative to test the distal bowel function before closure of a previously constructed ostomy in selected children with questionable distal bowel motility. AIMS: The aim of this study was to present our experience with this alternative use of the Bishop-Koop ostomy. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional retrospective review of hospital records, combined with a comprehensive literature review. RESULTS: Seven children were included: five had suspected aganglionosis, one had gastroschisis complicated with ileal atresia, and one had a colonic stricture secondary to necrotizing enterocolitis. In this short series of patients, motility of the distal bowel was correctly assessed in six patients and partially correctly assessed in one patient. One patient did not pass stools per anus after the Bishop-Koop, and he was later confirmed to have Hirschsprung disease. Four patients resumed normal evacuation pattern after closure of the Bishop-Koop. One patient had a Bishop-Koop colostomy because of recurrent enterocolitis after a transanal pull-through. Although he evacuated normally while having the colostomy, the diarrhea recurred after the ostomy was closed. An additional patient, with a severe behavioral problem, did not evacuate per anus after her colostomy was transformed in a Bishop-Koop-type ostomy, despite the apparent presence of normal ganglia in the bowel wall. CONCLUSIONS: Data from the present series allow us to affirm that Bishop-Koop-type ostomy is a safe and efficient procedure that can be used to assess distal bowel function before a definitive transit reconstruction, in children with uncertain motility issues.

ABSTRACT: Agriculture is central in Brazil’s political and socioeconomic history; agricultural exploitation is mainly conducted by families, creating a type of agriculture developed in small rural properties named family farming. In Brazil, family farming accounts for a very diverse group of businesses, of which 91% of all the establishments are family establishments that build different production strategies according to different degrees of potentiality and precariousness. This study evaluated the role of rural credit policies in developing family farming activities with agricultural income generation in northeastern Brazil on various family-based farms. For this, the authors conducted a case study in Pernambuco, analyzing the spatial relationship between the distribution of family farms and the access to credit resources from the National Program to Strengthen Family Farming from 2006 to 2017 and the change probabilities in types of farms considering the next 10 years, given the maintenance of conditionsreported in the analyzed period. Results indicatedthe weakening of productive potentiality of farming activities in family farms in Pernambuco, with a significant change in the distribution of family farm types, a reduction in the participation of Specialized Farms and an expressive growth of Farms with Rural Residents. The findings also indicated the relevance of access to rural credit in the supply of production needs of different family farm types and development of farming activities with income generation.
A redução da preposição para em relação à palavra precedente
Authors: Huback Ana Paula
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Neste artigo, analisa-se a redução da preposição para a pra no português brasileiro em sequências de (palavra anterior + para ou pra). O Corpus LAEL de língua falada foi adotado para fazer buscas por essas sequências. Considerando-se as 30 sequências mais frequentes de (palavra anterior + para ou pra), análises estatísticas foram realizadas para observar que fatores interferiam nessa redução. Os conceitos de frequência da sequência (Krug 1998, 2003, Bush 2001), frequência relativa (Torres Cacoullos 2006) e frequência de ocorrência (Bybee 2002a, 2002b, 2006) foram utilizados para verificar se a repetição das palavras em alguma dessas formas desempenhava algum papel nas sequências em que para se reduz a pra. Observou-se que a frequência relativa favorece a redução de para a pra, juntamente com classe de palavra, número de sílabas e tonicidade. A partir desse fenômeno, discute-se a possível estocagem de sequências de duas ou mais palavras no léxico mental dos falantes, bem como as consequências disso para processos de variação e mudança linguística.
Mode, the hub of multimodality: A case study of Oral-B® Toothpaste advertising
Authors: Dalamu Taofeek O.
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT This study investigates the nature of modal constructs in advertising commercial, operational in Oral-B® Toothpaste, to explain the mechanistic integration of modes, unified to generate holistic meaning. With the application of the mood system and kinesics concepts, the author is able to interpret the video for readers. Besides using statistical substances (tables and graphs) to explore the modes, one observes a fragmentation of structures of some linguistic items such as The answer?, Easy, still fresh and strong. Repetition is a concern, where the communicator deploys the generic You, your teeth, and your mouth for a reason of emphasis. Communicative devices such as strong and healthy, and long lasting fresh breath (feeling) are details, exemplifying the Oral-B’s 2-IN-1 qualities. Gestural modes of smiling, observed in a repetitive speeches of Smile, Smile, Smile, and intimate and personal distances augment meanings as Social Actors 1 and 2 are indexical participants. Metaphorical professional actors and the dual 2-IN-1 features characterize the communication, projecting interchangeability. The advertisement is fascinating; yet, the metaphor of interchangeability could have been simplified for a purpose of sensitizing the illiterate.
DEBATE EPISTEMOLÓGICO PARA O ENTENDIMENTO DA PESQUISA FEMINISTA CONSTRUCIONISTA SOCIAL
Authors: Gonzaga Domitila Shizue Kawakami , Guanaes-Lorenzi Carla , Nogueira Conceição
Published: May 2024

Resumo: Neste artigo, temos como objetivo estabelecer um diálogo entre as pesquisas construcionista social e feminista, destacando aproximações e possíveis tensões. Nossa discussão se faz a partir da sugestão da divisão da pesquisa feminista em três momentos: empiricista, standpoint e pós-moderno. Sugerimos que a interface entre as pesquisas construcionista social e feminista pós-moderna propõe a problematização de verdades universais, a partir da noção da construção social das realidades. A proposição epistemológica dessa interface é política e relacional, potencializa práticas pelo alargamento de possíveis temas e métodos de pesquisa, com especial interesse pelos efeitos de discursos opressivos para o cotidiano. Este artigo tem como principal contribuição o convite para que a comunidade científica se aproxime dos movimentos sociais feministas, reconhecendo suas demandas latentes e urgentes para transformação da sociedade.
Reproductive planning and pregnancy of HIV serodiscordant couples: a phenomenological study
Authors: Langendorf Tassiane Ferreira , Quadros Jacqueline Silveira de , Paula Cristiane Cardoso de , Padoin Stela Maris de Mello , Souza Ivis Emília de Oliveira
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the experience of reproductive planning and pregnancy for HIV serodiscordant couples. Method: Qualitative study, with phenomenological approach, theoretical-philosophical-methodological framework of Martin Heidegger. The field stage took place in a reference service in the care for people living with HIV, in southern Brazil. From an intentional sample, a phenomenological interview was conducted with 11 couples between August 2013 and April 2014. The analysis was hermeneutic. Results: It was possible to understand, from the meaning units that: couples accept and overcome the serological discordance together; experiencing pregnancy is difficult; there is an effort to have a normal life; the diagnosis is silenced by prejudice and stigma; comes the couple’s relief after the child’s negative diagnosis. Conclusion: It is necessary to recognize the couple as a unit of care with a view to a non-fragmented care in the field of sexual and reproductive health.
GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING SCIENCE TEACHING BASED ON THE THEORY OF CONCEPTUAL PROFILES
Authors: Santos João Paulo Magalhães dos , Santos Bruno Ferreira dos
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT: Conceptual profile is a model that characterizes the heterogeneity of conceptual thinking in the meaning of scientific concepts, assuming the coexistence, in individuals, of two or more ways of meaning the same concept, when it is mobilized in different contexts. This research started from the following question: which guidelines can support the planning of science teaching based on the theory of conceptual profiles? In order to do so, we used a theoretical-bibliographic study, in which we analyzed a set of theses and dissertations that developed science teaching interventions supported by the theory. This analysis allowed us to enunciate theoretical-methodological guidelines for the planning of teaching supported by the theory of conceptual profiles.
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CONCEPTIONS OF BIODIVERSITY AND SINGULARITIES OF BIOLOGY STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS
Authors: Santos Isabela Mayara dos , Pagan Alice Alexandre
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT: This work aims to investigate possible associations between conceptions of biological diversity and singularities of Brazilian biology undergraduates and professionals through the administration of a questionnaire composed of Likert items. This instrument was applied remotely and obtained 112 responses. A high level of agreement with biocentric perceptions of biological diversity was identified; on the other hand, there was a rejection of anthropocentric elements. We also noticed a lack of discussions related to the integration of the human species as part of nature and biodiversity. Respondents were also empathetic to the situations experienced by ethnic/racial groups, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities and socioeconomically vulnerable people. From the correlation between the proposed themes, we noticed that subjects more sensitive to class diversity and socioeconomic inequality tended to be more biocentric, suggesting the possibility of a relationship between sociocultural and biological diversity for the recognition, appreciation and respect for the interspecific alterities.
Bone aluminum accumulation in the current era
Authors: Oliveira Rodrigo Bueno de , Carvalho Aluízio Barbosa , Jorgetti Vanda
Published: May 2024

In the last few years, evidence from the Brazilian Registry of Bone Biopsy (REBRABO) has pointed out a high incidence of aluminum (Al) accumulation in the bones of patients with CKD under dialysis. This surprising finding does not appear to be merely a passive metal accumulation, as prospective data from REBRABO suggest that the presence of Al in bone may be independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events. This information contrasts with the perception of epidemiologic control of this condition around the world. In this opinion paper, we discussed why the diagnosis of Al accumulation in bone is not reported in other parts of the world. We also discuss a range of possibilities to understand why bone Al accumulation still occurs, not as a classical syndrome with systemic signs of intoxication, as occurred it has in the past.
El extractivismo y las raíces del “Antropoceno”. Regímenes de sensibilidad, régimen climático y derechos de la Naturaleza.
Authors: Aráoz Horacio Machado
Published: May 2024

Resumen Nuestro tiempo está signado por la emergencia geosocial del “Antropoceno”, un nuevo régimen climático que los geólogos asocian al despliegue de la maquinaria industrial fosilista moderna. En este trabajo, nos proponemos plantear una genealogía otra, que procura descolonizar el discurso geológico y desencubrir naturalizaciones injustificables. Planteamos que el “Antropoceno” remite a la configuración del habitus conquistual colonial-moderno y a la estructuración del extractivismo, como fenómeno emergente tras la invasión/invención de la entidad “América”. Nuestro análisis provee una comprensión del extractivismo como una dimensión fundamental del nuevo patrón de poder colonial-patriarcal del capital; y lo plantea como detonante del fin del Holoceno y el devenir apocalíptico del mundo. Sobre ese trasfondo, se plantea que la irrupción de los “Derechos de la Naturaleza” expresan una disputa en torno a regímenes de verdad-sensibilidad que buscan revisar y reformular el estatuto ontológico de la Tierra.
Botocudos, atingidos e extrativismo: ensaio sobre a estranha ordem geométrica da territorialização do capital nos territórios de Barra Longa (MG)

Published: May 2024

Resumo Barra Longa (MG) é uma das cidades atingidas pelo rompimento da Barragem de Fundão. Considerada a singularidade deste caso no contexto do desastre e do processo de reparação, buscamos discutir neste ensaio em que medida as disputas em torno do planejamento territorial, intensificadas após o soterramento de vias e edificações desta cidade pelos rejeitos minerários, são também ecos dos métodos de acumulação originária permanente do capital. O planejamento popular é percebido como recurso contestatório, contrapondo à repristinação da violência da acumulação originária a antropofágica apropriação dos conhecimentos técnicos e científicos na luta coletiva pela produção popular do espaço barralonguense.
O licenciamento ambiental como instrumento da política climática
Authors: Gaio Alexandre , Rosner Raquel Frazão , Ferreira Vivian M.
Published: May 2024

Resumo O artigo discute como o licenciamento ambiental pode contribuir com a efetividade da política climática brasileira ao permitir que os custos sociais da poluição climática passem a ser identificados, mitigados e compensados, sem prejuízo da análise de viabilidade ambiental, locacional e tecnológica. A partir da análise da legislação em vigor, conclui-se que, embora a inserção da variável climática nos processos de licenciamento ambiental seja exigível, ela ainda é incipiente nos órgãos ambientais. Com base em estudos técnicos, o artigo aponta para a necessidade de avaliação de impactos climáticos nos processos de licenciamento ambiental, delineia os conteúdos mínimos dessa avaliação e apresenta algumas estratégias jurídicas para que tal avaliação passe a ser devidamente realizada.
Journey from home to work: the use of modes of transport and time in the city of Fortaleza
Authors: Lima Filho Irapuan Peixoto , Rebouças Giovanna Freitas , Salgado Sol Carolina L.
Published: May 2024

Abstract The article analyzes data from a research carried out in Fortaleza, with the objective of reflecting on the home-work journey and its socio-spatial characteristics, and also on the relationship between modes of transport and time. It shows concentration of jobs in the central area (north--east) and population concentration in a west- -south peripheral belt, with a tendency towards monofunctionality. This points to the spatial mismatch that affects the poor population, penalized by long, time-consuming journeys on public transport. The research demonstrates that the upper classes benefit from shorter and faster journeys from home to work, while the public transport system suffers from disorganization and inefficiency, and the Integration Bus Terminals add much more time to the home-work journey.
Storage of recalcitrant seeds of Eugenia brasiliensis Lam. under control of water availability
Authors: Cécel Aline Testoni , Barbedo Claudio José
Published: May 2024

Abstract: The reduction in humidity and temperature makes it possible to prolong the storage of seeds, except for those sensitive to desiccation (recalcitrant), which therefore cannot be included in ex situ conservation banks. One way to control the metabolic activity and the movement of water into or out of the seed is to use osmotically active chemicals, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG). In this study, the effect of storage of recalcitrant seeds of Eugenia brasiliensis with water movement control in osmotic medium was evaluated. The results showed that the maintenance of these seeds at water potentials between -1 and -2 MPa allowed increasing the capacity for conserving viability in storage. They also demonstrated that the expansion of this conservation, unlike what occurs with the reduction of temperature, is not necessarily associated with the reduction of metabolic rates.
Endo-β-mannanase and superoxide dismutase as enzymatic markers for lettuce seeds thermotolerance
Authors: Cavasin Pedro Yuri , Santos Heloisa Oliveira dos , Oliveira Thaísa Fernanda , Pereira Joyce Aparecida , Gama André Boscolo Nogueira da , Pereira Wilson Vicente Souza
Published: May 2024

Abstract: At higher temperatures, lettuce seeds may not germinate, resulting in problems for crop establishment in the field and production. This study aimed to evaluate the maternal effect for thermotolerance on lettuce seeds and find enzymatic markers. We used the thermoinhibition tolerant cultivar ‘Everglades’, the sensitive ‘Verônica’, their reciprocal hybrids, F1 and F2 generation. Seeds were submitted to germination and enzymatic tests (catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, and endo- β-mannanase). Germination (first and final counting) and speed index were compared through Tukey’s test. ‘Everglades’ and its reciprocal hybrids, have not been influenced by temperature regarding germination compared to the other treatments. Also, the maternal effect was observed for the F1 generation. Higher temperatures interfere with the activity of all enzymes evaluated, consequently in the physiological parameters. However, superoxide dismutase and endo- β-mannanase have shown direct and more expressive correlation with changes on the physiological parameters compared to the other enzymes. Thus, it is possible to conclude that those enzymes can be used as markers for thermotolerant genotype selection.

Published: May 2024

RESUMO Este artigo procura pensar a chamada “virada infraestrutural” nos estudos urbanos ao longo das últimas duas décadas a partir das teorias e das temporalidades da urbanização das cidades brasileiras. Nosso objetivo é apresentar ao debate internacional sobre a provisão de infraestruturas urbanas uma visão panorâmica de discussões teóricas produzidas no Brasil, a partir de pesquisas etnográficas que há cinquenta anos tematizam a produção cotidiana das cidades. Na primeira parte, retomamos as primeiras etnografias feitas sobre favelas cariocas, no final dos anos 1960, destacando as relações intelectuais entre pesquisadores e a atenção dada às casas e aos serviços urbanos. Na seção seguinte, trazemos para o debate a figura das agentes comunitárias de políticas de habitação social. Como conclusão, a partir das agentes comunitárias, dialogamos com a proposta de AbdouMaliq Simone de pensar “pessoas como infraestruturas”. Técnica e política, trabalho e militância, documentos e materialidades se articulam nos diagnósticos sociais, de modo que as fronteiras entre Estado, mercado e movimentos sociais urbanos se borram.
O conhecimento não verbal na história das ciências: o saber-fazer de César Lattes
Authors: TAVARES HERÁCLIO
Published: May 2024

RESUMO O físico brasileiro César Lattes foi um dos principais responsáveis pelo trabalho de observação experimental do decaimento do méson pi no méson mi entre 1946 e 1948. Parte desse processo se deu através do desenvolvimento da habilidade visual de percepção das formas dos traços deixados pelas partículas nos detectores. Lattes aprendeu a “ver” os rastros deixados por mésons a partir das diferenças que eles possuíam se comparados aos causados por outras partículas. Apresentarei a dimensão não verbal da prática científica através de uma discussão de ideias de diferentes autores e de rascunhos de artigos e inscrições de Lattes em seus cadernos de laboratório. O intuito é compreender o papel do saber não verbalizado na observação dos mésons e o que Lattes compreendia sobre sua própria prática.
Early screening for cold tolerance in sugarcane breeding

Published: May 2024

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of early screening in the selection of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) families for cold tolerance in a controlled environment. Fourteen sugarcane families were evaluated for leaf damage and chlorophyll content, in a controlled environment and in the field, after cold stress. The variance components and genotypic values of the families were estimated via REML/BLUP, as well as the genetic correlations between variables and environments. The heritabilities in the narrow sense and for family averages showed values above 0.23 and 0.76, respectively, and a genetic coefficient of variation above 13%, which confirmis the existence of variability and enables selection in both environments. The genetic correlations ranged from 0.59 to 0.88 and were significant for all combinations of variables and environments. The average coincidence index for the families between environments was 60% for the selected group and 85% for the unselected group. The early screening in the first stages of selection is efficient in breeding for cold tolerance in sugarcane families.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the selectivity of pre- and post-emergent herbicides and their efficiency in weed control, as well as the growth and quality of floral stems, in a gladiolus (Gladiolus x grandiflorus) crop in two growing seasons. The experiments were carried out in the field, where the planted gladiolus received the application of pre- and post-emergent herbicides, with and without mechanical weed control. At 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after emergence (DAE), monocotyledon and eudicotyledon control and phytotoxicity to gladiolus plants were evaluated. At 28 DAE, the shoot dry matter of weeds and gladiolus plants was also evaluated. The s-metolachlor and diuron pre-emergent herbicides and the haloxyfop-p-methyl post-emergent herbicide are selective to gladiolus plants in both seasons, which allows of the production of floral stems with commercial quality. The s-metolachlor and haloxyfop-p-methyl herbicides also promote an efficient control of monocotyledons regardless of the growing season. Although, when applied, saflufenacil and 2,4-D cause phytotoxicity in the vegetative phase of gladiolus, they do not affect the production of floral stems and control satisfactorily eudicotyledons in the second season.

Published: May 2024

Abstract This study describes the results of an investigation regarding the characteristics of financial education teaching, in one of the teaching units of the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Acre (Ifac). In this sense, the objective was to verify and characterize, from the teaching perspective, if and how the transversal practice of financial education occurs in the curriculum of integrated technical courses, observing whether such practices correspond to that established by the new National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). This is a qualitative approach research, of exploratory nature, in which sixteen teachers participated, the data being collected with the application of an organized questionnaire with open and closed questions. The analysis and interpretation of the data were based on the Thematization methodology. The study pointed out that the practice of financial education, in the light of the new BNCC, has not yet been implemented in the locus of study and that no traces yet point to transversal initiatives on the topic, which ends up disfavoring the integral training of students. Finally, the study indicated that stimulating actions to promote financial education in the curriculum of the integrated technical courses of Ifac is necessary, thus favoring the teaching and learning of the theme, which will contribute to an integrative education in the locus of study.

ABSTRACT Objective: Arthrodesis techniques such as anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) and lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) aim to reestablish physiological lordosis and minimize tissue damage to the paravertebral musculature. Supplementation with percutaneous pedicle screws is indicated in most cases, therefore, intraoperative changes in decubitus are necessary, generating costs and risks for the patient. This study aims to present concepts and results of a series of 100 cases of patients undergoing 360° fusion in lateral single position surgery (LSPS). Methods: retrospective analysis of databases collected between 2016 and 2021. Patients who underwent 360° fusion of the lumbar spine in single lateral decubitus to treat degenerative and infectious diseases were included. Cases with arthrodesis greater than 3 levels were excluded. Data collected include demographics, body mass index (BMI) and scores such as visual analog scale (VAS), EuroQOL 5D (EQ5D) and Oswestry disability index (ODI). Results: 100 patients were included in the study, submitted to LLIF and/or ALIF associated with percutaneous pedicle fixation. The lumbar VAS improved from 6.75 to 2.1 after 12 months, while the sciatica VAS started from 4.55 and reached 0.81 after one year. The EQ5D improved from 66.1 to 81.6 after the first year, while the ODI ranged from 28.54 to 14.18 in the same period. Conclusions: the clinical-functional results of the LSPS procedures are favorable and place the LSPS as an option to be studied, developed and practiced by spine surgery teams. Level of evidence: IV.

ABSTRACT We describe two cases of surgical treatment of craniovertebral stenosis in preschool-aged brothers with Maroteaux-Lamy (MPS type VI) syndrome. The older brother was diagnosed with MPS during her second pregnancy. Literature describing familial cases of the disease and the treatment strategy in young children with MPS type VI and spinal canal stenosis is scarce. Based on the presented observations, indications, surgical treatment approaches, and perioperative management of patients with mucopolysac-charidosis are suggested. MPS type VI may have familial forms of the disease and the course of craniovertebral stenosis is similar in siblings. Surgical treatment of craniovertebral stenosis in these patients should be performed timely. We adhere to the point of view of early treatment of craniovertebral stenosis in patients with MPS before irreversible spinal cord dysfunction develops.

Authors: You Dowon , Jeong Narae
Published: May 2024

Objectives: The social and economic costs of severe mental illness, including psychosis, are increasing, and methods to reduce costs such as a mobile app-based approach have been tried more than ever. This study aims to explore and analyze the methods that have been used in previous studies for mobile app-based psychosocial interventions for personal and clinical recovery of psychosis.Methods: To identify mobile apps associated with psychosis, psychotic disorder, and other related terms, we searched for literature published from 2017 to 2023 (n=21). After classifying them into personal and clinical recovery, we qualitatively analyzed each study’s topics, objectives, measurement tools, results, and other aspects.Results: For personal recovery, the focus was mainly on improving daily living, self-management, and cognitive and social function improvement, and for clinical recovery, the focus was mainly on preventing symptom recurrence and managing symptoms. Mobile apps for improving daily living functions, cognitive functions, and relapse prevention have significant effects. While mobile apps for improving social function and symptom management mainly reported smaller effects.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that mobile app-based psychosocial interventions for personal and clinical recovery of psychosis are likely to be utilized. Finally, the significance and limitations of the studies were discussed.
La acción extraordinaria de protección en la justicia indígena: el camino a un Estado plurinacional
Authors:   IAEN, Núñez Santamaría Diego
Published: May 2024

La Constitución de la República del Ecuador introdujo nuevas instituciones en 2008, entre ellas el Estado constitucional y el Estado plurinacional. Este último generó cambios constitucionales gracias a las fuertes luchas sociales que el movimiento indígena emprendió desde inicios de los años 90 en Ecuador.50 A su vez, la Constitución entregó a la Corte Constitucional el trabajo de armonizar la aplicación de los principios constitucionales a través de sus sentencias. De esta manera se introdujo la acción extraordinaria de protección para controlar que el sistema de administración de justicia no vulnere de-rechos constitucionales. La acción extraordinaria de protección es una nueva garantía jurisdiccional que permite revisar las actuaciones y decisiones judiciales. Esta es nueva porque por primera vez Ecuador ha introducido un amparo contra decisiones judiciales. Otros países ya habían previsto esta institución. Esta herramienta judicial opera como una relativización a la institución de la cosa juzgada (lo decidido es inamovible) y le permite a la Corte Constitucional revisar lo juzgado por los jueces, siempre y cuando se evidencie vulneración de derechos constitucionales.

Klebsiella pneumoniae, a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, demonstrates an increasing trend of resistance to carbapenems and is a common cause of both hospital- and community-acquired infections. The current study provides insights into the genetic characterization of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates circulating during 2022 in a Sarajevo tertiary hospital. Among the 87 CRKP strains analyzed, real-time polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR) results showed that 85 (97.7%) tested positive for the carbapenem resistance gene. The oxacillinase-48 (OXA-48) gene was detected in 83 (95.4%) isolates, while the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) and the New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) genes were detected in one isolate each. No Verona integron-encoded-metallo-beta-lactamase (VIM) or imipenemase-metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (IMP-1) genes were found in any of the tested isolates. The multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis of sequence types (STs) revealed that ST101, an emerging high-risk clone exhibiting extensive drug resistance, was the most prevalent, whereas ST307 was detected in only one isolate. Phylogenetic analysis of the ten CRKP isolates indicated the presence of three clusters that could constitute an outbreak. A comparison of the results of the utilized phenotypic test (the combined-disk test [CDT]) and rtPCR showed high concordance, suggesting that the phenotypic assay may be useful for the early detection of resistance mechanisms as part of routine susceptibility testing. With the increased affordability of next-generation sequencing (NGS), its application in hospital settings has proven highly beneficial, aiding in the implementation of infection control and prevention measures. Given the significant resistance demonstrated by the CRKP isolates to most tested antibiotics, it is imperative to establish effective methods to restrict the spread of these isolates, as well as to carefully monitor the use of carbapenems in clinical practice.

Published: May 2024

Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease in which lymphocytes invade salivary and tear glands, leading to dry mouth and dry eyes. It is also associated with extraglandular manifestations. The most frequently reported neurological extraglandular manifestations are sensory polyneuropathies. Movement disorders have been reported in only 2% of primary SS patients. In this case, we present a case of primary SS initially manifesting as generalized chorea, which was initially misdiagnosed as tardive dyskinesia.

Protocol for Identifying Highly Pathogenic Salmonella Using the HPS Multiplex PCR Assay v1

Published: May 2024

This protocol describes how to perform a multiplex PCR assay for the identification of Highly Pathogenic Salmonella (HPS). The assay targets eight virulence genes including: sseK2 (HPS-6), sseK3 (HPS-1), avrA (HPS-3), lpfB (HPS-5), spvD (HPS-4), sspH2 (HPS-7), gtgA (HPS-2) and invA (i).Comparative genomic research using 23 complete closed Salmonella genome sequences (1-23) revealed these genes to be shared among Salmonella serotypes noted for being invasive and/or causing most cases of salmonellosis (i.e. consistently on the CDC’s list of top 20 serotypes attributed to human illness) but to varying degrees are absent among serotypes that are less frequently associated with human illness. Validation of this assay with 1303 Salmonella of 69 different serotypes confirmed the utility of this assay for identifying HPS (Harhay et. al., in preparation). Salmonella samples that result in the amplification of five or more targets are identified as HPS, and the markers amplified are reported as an HPS index (HPSi) (Figure 1). The assay described is intended for use with DNA lysates of Salmonella isolates, not lysates of enrichment cultures, where more than one Salmonella serotype may be present. Notably, the HPS assay is not serotype specific (i.e. the results do not indicate the presence of a particular serotype) rather it provides an indication of the potential pathogenicity of the Salmonella being assayed. This protocol includes information on generation of template DNA, primer sequences needed (Table 1), construction of the PCR master mix (Table 2), thermal cycler program used for amplification (Table 3), parameters for DNA gel electrophoresis, and amplicon visualization and scoring (Figure 1). Further evidence of the utility of the HPS gene targets is their recent addition to the AMRFinderPlus Reference Gene Catalog.
