Published: April 2024

Studies reveal that most women have a preference for vaginal delivery both in public health and in the private sector, however, the private sector has more than twice as many surgical deliveries shaped by the interventionist conduct of the physician. Among the factors that are pointed out in most studies to justify the increasing frequency of cesarean sections are social, demographic, and cultural factors, associated with the mother's request for the type of delivery, and factors associated with the care model developed. Based on the above, it is intended, based on the data collected, to investigate the perception of pregnant women in relation to the types of delivery and what guidance they received during prenatal care. To this end, a quantitative-qualitative, cross-sectional descriptive study will be carried out in pregnant women treated at the UBS in the municipality of Iguatama-M. The results show that pregnant women have a preference for cesarean delivery, with significant relevance to the variables "it helps to reduce maternal stress during childbirth by conveying an idea of a fully controlled environment, where everything occurs in a previously stipulated way"; "short labor of predictable duration"; "active participation of the mother". It was concluded that 56% of the participants preferred cesarean section because it was quick to recover.

Authors: Mello Déborah Lima de , Pereira Denise Andrade , Souza Ana Beatriz Floriano de
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Heart Failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome in which the heart is ventricular involved and unable to meet the body's metabolic demands. In Brazil, the main cause of rehospitalizations is due to difficulties in adhering to the therapy implemented. Objective: To provide evidence of nursing care for HF patients based on scientific publications. Method: This is an integrative review of the literature, developed from searches in the National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Web of Science and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases. To elaborate the guiding question, the PICo strategy was used. Thus, the following guiding question was defined: what does the scientific evidence available in the literature address about nursing care for patients with heart failure? Searches were limited to the period between 2018 and 2023, in the languages Portuguese, Spanish and English. Results: The final sample consisted of nine articles, out of a total of 2,579 initially listed. The studies were grouped by similarities, defining the following categories: Marjory Gordon and Callista Roy's models of care, health education, and the use of technologies in self-management and HF monitoring. Conclusions : This study made it possible to analyze what the scientific evidence addresses about nursing care for patients with HF. It has been demonstrated that further research is needed on this topic, since HF is prevalent in thousands of individuals around the world and that some of them do not fully understand the diagnosis, symptoms, self-care and the importance of treatment adherence.

American cutaneous leishmaniasis is an infectious disease endemic in about 100 countries, with three predominant forms: cutaneous, mucosal and visceral. It is classically transmitted by the bite of the Lutzomyia mosquito and, after infection, occurs with the formation of a papular lesion, which evolves to the formation of a nodule, and may even be associated with regional adenopathy. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) deserves special attention because it is the most recurrent presentation of ATL, subdivided into two forms: localized and disseminated. The diagnosis of ACL comprises the association of the clinical history with the local epidemiological profile, associated with laboratory tests that prove the presence of Leishmania. The complementary tests of choice are: histopathological, which reveals the presence of amastigote in tissue; the isolation of the parasite in an in vitro culture medium and the detection of parasite DNA by means of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) examination. Regarding the treatment of this pathology, the main focus of this work, there are drugs under development and other drugs of already established use, such as: pentavalent antimonials, liposomal amphotericin B or deoxycholate, in addition to pentamidine, which belongs to aromatic diamines and is used for treatment in regions of the American, Asian and African continents. Therefore, when considering the impact that ACL can have on human quality of life, it is necessary to list the main drugs used in its treatment, in order to compare them and list the most effective and safe options. Therefore, a systematic literature review was carried out, in which research and scientific papers published in the last 10 years (January 2014 - January 2024) were evaluated in detail, in the PubMed bibliographic databases and in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS). Thus, it will be possible to analyze which therapeutic options are available on the market, in addition to mentioning the new drugs under development, especially in order to minimize the side effects of the drugs in use.

The use of nitrogen fertilizers in the appropriate dosage can modify the bromatological compositions of the plant. The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of the fractions of the corn plant submitted to different levels of fertilization. The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Bocaiúva, located in the interior of Minas Gerais. In the execution of the experiment, the transgenic corn VT PRO 3 from Agroceres was used. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with five replications. The treatments consisted of four N doses: 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg N/ha/cut). A single source of N, urea, was used. The data obtained were submitted to analysis of variance and regression analysis. The increase in nitrogen doses influenced the crude protein content of the corn plant. The maximum point for CP content was observed at a dose of 173 N (Kg/ha), and 20.01% of CP was observed. The neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents of the stem were influenced by the increase of N rates (p < 0.05). It is concluded that in the results obtained there was an influence of nitrogen fertilization on the chemical composition of corn.

Published: April 2024

Insects play a highly important role in the ecological field, especially playing a fundamental role in the pollination of flowering plants, an essential process for the preservation of life and biological diversity. Among the insects, there are those considered as pests. This is the case of Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctidae) also known as fall armyworm, native to tropical areas. The present work aims to present a discussion about the life cycle and protocols for rearing, in the laboratory, of S. frugiperda, in order to contribute as a didactic tool for the teaching of science and environmental education. For this, a bibliographic and scientometric survey was carried out from the MEDLINE/PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Google Scholar databases. The descriptors used were related to diet, feeding and rearing of S. frugiperda (Spodoptera frugiperda + artificial diet; Spodoptera frugiperda + laboratory; Spodoptera frugiperda + nutrition; Spodoptera frugiperda + larvae). As a result of the scientometric survey, 18 studies were selected, published between 1985 and 2022, on the topic, which reflects a wide variety of breeding protocols over time. The establishment of insect breeding protocols in the laboratory is essential for basic entomology studies, as well as for biotechnology and innovation studies involving, for example, insecticide bioassays.
Seed predation of forest species in the southern Amazon
Authors: Garlet Juliana , Melo Roseline da Silva
Published: April 2024

Seed production is an important stage in the biological cycle of plants. However, insects can interrupt this cycle, directly attacking fruits and seeds, which can influence the abundance and distribution of species. Insects are considered the main responsible for seed predation, and the main spermatophagous Orders are: Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. In this way, the aim of this study was to identify the insects that attack the seeds sold by the Rede de Sementes do Portal da Amazônia. This analysis was carried out with seed samples sent by the seed network, and also through bibliographical research searching for predation records for species sold by the Seed Network. The groups of spermatophagous insects that were present in forest species were identified, identifying them at the level of Order, Family, Subfamily and, when possible, species. Thus, it was found that predation by these insects occurred on seeds of 15 forest species from seed houses and 12 species that are part of the list of species offered by the seed network. The main orders identified causing damage were: Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, showing a greater predominance of attack by coleoptera. Thus, there was a significant attack and record of spermatophagous insects on the seeds of native forest species in the region, mainly from the order Coleoptera.

Focal segmental glomerulonephrosis (FSGS) is a renal disorder with significant presence of proteinuria (usually in the nephrotic range) and glomerular damage, which affects children and adults. The diagnostic finding is made by means of renal biopsy, where podocyte alterations will be observed. The objective of this study is to report the case of a patient diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulonephrosis. The case report is of a 27-year-old Caucasian female patient who presented with edema of the extremities of the lower limbs and foamy urine. The findings described by light microscopy and immunofluorescence characterize a case of FSGS. After the tests, the patient started using 40 mg/day of furosemide and 20 mg/day of prednisone, in addition to pulse therapy with methylprednisolone, with a new increase in 24-hour proteinuria, recurrent hospitalizations and clinical decompensation in anasarca. Treatment with cyclophosphamide alternated with methylprednisolone was initiated, with improvement in proteinuria since then. Corticosteroids are the choice for the treatment of FSGS, although there is uncertainty about the risks and benefits. In cases of non-remission with corticosteroid therapy, cyclosporine associated with prednisone is chosen, which can cause total remission in many patients. Mycofelonate mofetil may be used as an alternative in non-responders. If resistance persists and with frequent protein increases, a regimen with cyclophosphamide in association with prednisone and with constant follow-up is indicated. The use of calcineurin inhibitors has shown positive effects in the treatment of FSGS. To date, the mechanisms involved in FSGS have not been accurately described, a fact that hinders the treatment of this pathology, and it is crucial that current and future studies comprehensively examine individuals to identify the characteristics of those who respond and those who do not respond to the treatment of the disease.

Objective: To analyze frailty in community-dwelling older adults by age group, comparing the degree of agreement and correlation between the EFS and IVCF-20 instruments. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study nested in a population-based cohort, with probabilistic, cluster, and two-stage sampling. The first stage considered the census tract as the sampling unit; while the second determined the number of households according to the population density of elderly individuals. The Kappa statistic analyzed the degree of agreement and Pearson's coefficient evaluated the correlation between the instruments. Results: A total of 394 community-dwelling elderly were allocated, with a predominance of females (66.7%) and 65 to 69 years of age (26.4%). The prevalence of frailty was higher among the age group of 90 years and over, being 44.4% in both the IVCF-20 and the EFS. There was a higher prevalence of frailty in the elderly aged between 60 and 79 years and slightly higher between 85 and 89 years when using EFS. The Kappa statistic showed a low agreement index (0.399) between the instruments in the age group between 65 and 69 years, while in the age group aged 90 years or older, there was a strong agreement (Kappa 0.775). The IVCF-20 and EFS instruments showed strong agreement and showed greater coherence in the assessment of frailty in the long-lived elderly. Conclusion: The IVCF-20 instruments and the EFS showed moderate to strong agreement and positive correlation. In the age groups between 80 and 85 years and 90 years and over, the prevalence of frailty was the same for both instruments, which demonstrates the strong association between frailty and advanced age.

Pets have been bred to live with human beings for different reasons, the main one is affective relationships, but also for the purpose of therapy, company for people with special needs, sports, participation in tournaments and exhibitions and reproduction. The pet sector in Brazil is divided into 3 pillars, industry, commerce and animal husbandry services. As a result, animal reproduction and genetic improvement have been gaining ground, due to an increase in the demand for specialists and consequently a significant increase in research in the area. Artificial insemination is the most used biotechnology in this species, especially when natural mating is unfeasible due to anatomical and behavioral issues, in addition to the improvement in genetic gain. In addition, it minimizes the stress caused by handling the animals during conventional mounting and prevents diseases transmitted during copulation. The success of this procedure requires a deep understanding of the reproductive physiology of the species in question. The evaluation of sows and sires involves detailed examinations, including gynecological examination, Pap smear, serum progesterone dosage, and andrological examination. Vaginal cytology aims to identify the phase of the estrous cycle and possible pathologies through cells of its epithelium, while serum progesterone measurement aims to have a greater accuracy of the moment of insemination and the andrological examination aims to evaluate the fertility of the sire. In the general clinical evaluation, several parameters are considered, such as reproductive and pathological history, vaccination and parasitic protocols. Pap smear is considered a more practical, lower-cost and easier to apply method, reflecting changes in estrogen concentration and not progesterone. The hormonal dosage of progesterone is performed at the end of proestrus or the beginning of estrus, which is when it precedes the LH peak. Upon reaching peak LH, progesterone levels increase. This means that there will be ovulation, which is the ideal time to perform intravaginal artificial insemination.
Comparing maximum likelihood and maximum pseudolikelihood estimators for the Ising model
Authors: Keetelaar Sara
Published: April 2024

The Ising model is one of the most popular models in network psychometrics. However, statistical analysis of the Ising model is difficult due to the presence of its intractable normalizing constant in the probability function. As a result, maximum likelihood estimation using the exact likelihood is only possible for small graphs, and approximation methods are needed for larger graphs. Two popular approximations of the exact likelihood are the joint pseudolikelihood (JPL) and the disjoint pseudolikelihood (DPL). These approximations yield consistent estimators, but we do not know how well they perform for finite data. In this paper, we investigate the relative performance of parameter estimation methods based on the two approximations and compare them to maximum likelihood estimation using the exact likelihood. We perform an extensive simulation study comparing the estimators in terms of bias and variance. We show that maximum pseudolikelihood estimation based on the JPL is a stable estimation method that is able to accurately approximate the maximum likelihood estimates, but that maximum pseudolikelihood estimation based on the DPL only works well for large sample sizes.

Comparative Study of Induced-stress Methods on Seedling Vigour and Storability Potential of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) verdc.) Genotypes
Authors: Olusola Olufelo Joseph
Published: April 2024

Post-harvest pests have been a menace that affects agricultural productions across the world, causing significant yield losses, aggravating food insecurity especially in developing countries like Nigeria. This study was carried out to evaluate seedling vigour and storability potential in 15 Bambara groundnut genotypes using artificial ageing and methanol test. The seeds were aged artificially at 450C and 99% relative humidity for 48 hours and methanol stress test. In methanol test, seeds were placed in a moist chamber at room temperature for 2 days and afterward soaked in 20% aqueous solutions of methanol for two hours followed by soaking in distilled water for 5 minutes. The aged seeds were then evaluated following seed testing traits: rate of seed germination, seed germination, seedling fresh weight, seedling dry weight, seedling length and seedling vigour index. The experiment was carried out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in three replicates. Methanol ageing method gave the best performance in all the, seed quality attributes. The results showed that the various genotype of Bambara groundnut had different qualities after being different ageing treatments. Genotypes TVSU-633, TVSU-455 and TVSU-438 aged using accelerated and methanol and had better adaptive mechanisms to deal with the physiological damages induced by short-term ageing treatments when compared to the other genotypes. This implies that the afore-mentioned genotypes can with-stand stress and highly storable, thus recommended for use by seed companies, crop breeders and Bambara groundnut improvement programme. Accelerated and methanol can therefore, be used to predict the storability of bambara groundnut seeds.

Authors: Pearlin V. Askilla , Marin E. Grace
Published: April 2024

The Aedes albopictus mosquito serves as a vector for various diseases affecting both humans and livestock. Current mosquito control strategies primarily rely on synthetic insecticides, which, despite their effectiveness, pose significant challenges such as insecticide resistance, environmental pollution, and adverse effects on human health. Plant-based products offer a promising alternative as they generally exhibit fewer adverse effects on ecosystems. In this study, we investigated the larvicidal efficacy of Annona squamosa leaf extracts using aqueous, ethanol, and hexane solvents against third-instar larvae of Aedes albopictus. The results revealed varying LC50 values for the third instar larvae: 2790.318 ppm (aqueous extract), 11775.170 ppm (ethanol extract), and 20417.320 ppm (hexane extract). Notably, the hexane extract exhibited the highest larvicidal activity, particularly after 24 hours of exposure. These findings underscore the potential of plant- derived compounds, particularly those extracted using hexane, as effective agents for mosquito control.

Genetic similarity of zebrafish and humans, their transparency, and rapid development has propelled them to be one of the most preferred models for research in neuroscience. Within this article, there is a brief discussion on zebrafish in the field of neuroscience with the considerations of their neuroanatomy, advantages, recent achievements, drawbacks, and the possible routes for future exploration. Zebrafish are a rare model for neuronal development and or translating/creating neurological disorders. Neuroscientists that study zebrafish have occasionally faced problems with behavioral complexity and lack of established methods. Forward-looking actions include optimization of behavioral assays, adoption of CRISPR/Cas9 for genotype modification, and unification of drug discovery and testing of toxicological effects. Through zebrafish neuroscience research, we are heading towards great heights as the potential role in bridging the knowledge on the brain and neurological disorders is very promising. The successful adoption of new technologies and collaborative methods will be the attending factors to reach a goal of zebrafish model fully exploiting the potential for the neuroscience research.
Marcado de referencia en aché (tupí-guaraní)
Authors: Krojzl Juan
Published: April 2024

El objetivo de este artículo consiste en realizar una primera aproximación al estudio de algunos de los mecanismos para marcar la referencia en aché, lengua de la familia tupí-guaraní. Se propone un abordaje cualitativo de los recursos morfosintácticos al examinar una narrativa aché, recogida por la misionera lingüista Ruth Sammons en 1976, cuando la lengua se encontraba en una situación de vitalidad, a diferencia de lo que se observa en la actualidad. Este análisis ha sido complementado con datos obtenidos por el autor en un trabajo de campo realizado en la comunidad aché de Cerro Morotí (Caaguazú, Paraguay).
El aché presenta varias diferencias estructurales con respecto a otras lenguas de la familia. Entre otras, esta variedad se destaca por no poder marcar los argumentos en los verbos, algo característico en la mayoría de las lenguas tupí-guaraní. A partir de este rasgo, proponemos como hipótesis que, en el discurso narrativo, los hablantes de aché van a priorizar los marcadores de baja accesibilidad por sobre aquellos que denotan alta accesibilidad, pese al estatus cognitivo que dicho referente posea en la mente de los interlocutores y a la distancia que exista entre sus subsecuentes menciones.
Dinámicas lingüísticas de las situaciones de contacto
Authors: Castillo María de los Ángeles
Published: April 2024

Dinámicas lingüísticas de las situaciones de contacto, editado por Azucena Palacios y María Sánchez Paraíso, reúne trabajos que estudian fenómenos de contacto en contextos diversos. Los capítulos se dividen en tres secciones que adoptan distintos enfoques. De esta manera, el volumen presenta una sección dedicada a aportes y propuestas de carácter teórico-metodológico para abordar el contacto lingüístico. Luego, presenta una sección con artículos que estudian distintos casos de contacto desde una perspectiva sincrónica. Y, por último, una serie de artículos que abordan el eje central del volumen desde una perspectiva diacrónica.
Entre pasivas e impersonales: las cláusulas con -wa del yaqui
Authors: Guerrero Lilián , Belloro Valeria
Published: April 2024

El yaqui (yutoazteca; México) tiene varios mecanismos morfológicos para codificar cambios de voz, entre ellos el morfema -wa, hasta ahora poco analizado. Este estudio examina las características básicas de las cláusulas con -wa del yaqui a partir de datos de textos y discute algunos aspectos de su estructura e interpretación. Los datos muestran que las cláusulas con -wa funcionan tanto como pasivas promocionales como no promocionales en virtud del estatus del argumento pacientivo, marcado nominativo en las pasivas promocionales y acusativo en las no promocionales. Con pacientes plurales la distinción de caso se neutraliza y es imposible distinguir entre las dos funciones. Las cláusulas con -wa también ocurren con verbos intransitivos y dicendi, resultando en pasivas no promocionales. En todos los casos, la omisión del argumento A es obligatoria. Este tipo de cláusulas son más frecuentes en historias de vida que en otros géneros discursivos, y típicamente se asocian con un participante P que funciona como tópico continuo afectado por la acción de los agentes omitidos, cuya identidad sin embargo se recupera inferencialmente y coincide con figuras de autoridad.
Representaciones discursivas híbridas de la identidad de género en una sentencia penal: un enfoque desde el análisis estratégico del discurso
Authors: Vázquez Neira Leonel Fernando
Published: April 2024

Nuestro objetivo es analizar las representaciones discursivas de la identidad de género en una de las primeras sentencias penales que, en la República Argentina, aplicó la ley 26743 de identidad de género en el ámbito penal. Nos situamos dentro del marco teórico metodológico del Análisis Estratégico del Discurso e incorporamos la perspectiva del Análisis Crítico del Discurso, en su versión latinoamericana, para proponer, dentro de una estrategia discursiva, el movimiento que denominamos ‘la construcción discursiva de un esquema de interpretación y comprensión del género’ que permite explicar cómo el Tribunal construyó un esquema de género híbrido basado en la coexistencia de nuevos y viejos paradigmas a través del cual propició una interpretación restrictiva de la ley de identidad de género y, de esta forma, sostuvo que la conducta atribuida al imputado constituyó un travesticidio y un femicidio.
Aplicación de lecturas reflexivas para mejorar las habilidades sociales entre estudiantes
Authors: Gómez Sánchez Lucía Vanessa
Published: April 2024

El estudio llevado a cabo en la Unidad Educativa "Teodoro Alvarado Garaicoa" durante el segundo trimestre del periodo lectivo 2023 tiene como objetivo primordial el fortalecimiento de las habilidades sociales en los estudiantes de secundaria de 1° y 2°, en la jornada vespertina. Se desarrolló a lo largo de nueve semanas y se emplearon lecturas reflexivas, talleres vivenciales y dramatizaciones como estrategias pedagógicas para mejorar la comunicación entre los estudiantes. Se utilizó el Plan Individual de Aprendizaje (PIA) de Alata (2017) como recurso educativo para potenciar habilidades sociales, trabajo colaborativo y comunicación entre pares. El estudio se enmarca en una investigación descriptiva con un enfoque experimental y cuasi experimental. Se analizó el contexto legal, normativo y conceptual relacionado con las dificultades de comunicación y expresión de los estudiantes. Los resultados obtenidos a través del PIA y preguntas sobre habilidades sociales indicaron que las lecturas reflexivas pueden impactar positivamente en el estado de ánimo de los adolescentes. Los estudiantes que participaron en el estudio mostraron mejoras notables en sus habilidades sociales, lo que sugiere que las lecturas reflexivas son efectivas para este propósito. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante técnicas como la observación, participantes y encuestas. Los resultados del post-test evidenciaron una mejora significativa en las habilidades sociales de los estudiantes, demostrando la viabilidad de influir en estas habilidades a través de lecturas reflexivas y actividades similares. Este estudio resalta la importancia de implementar estrategias educativas que promuevan el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes, incluyendo aspectos como las habilidades sociales y la comunicación efectiva.
Gestión de auditoría interna y su influencia en los riesgos financieros del sistema cooperativista
Authors: Moreta Jeréz Pachacutic Daniel
Published: April 2024

El sector cooperativo se ha visto afectado en los últimos años, por diferentes factores exógenos, lo que ha incidido en el incremento de sus niveles de riesgo financiero, pasando del Segmento I y II al IV y V. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer la incidencia de la gestión de auditoría interna en los riesgos financieros del sistema cooperativista, la población inicial fue 494 cooperativas analizadas en el año 2020, finalizando el estudio con 419 para el año 2022 evidenciando que el 15.18% de las entidades analizadas quebraron o fueron absorbidas por otras entidades, los indicadores analizados en relación a los riesgos fueron: crédito, operativo, de mercado y de liquidez. En los que se determinó, en el año 2021: el riesgo de liquidez de 370 cooperativas representando el 73% ubicándose en un rango del 1% al 1.5% de liquidez, seguido por el riesgo operativo en un rango del 16% al 20% con 459 cooperativas representando el 91%, finalmente, en el año 2022 el riesgo de liquidez con 393 cooperativas representaba el 78%, encontrándose con un rango del 1% y 1.5% de liquidez. En conclusión, se deduce que tanto el riesgo de liquidez como el riesgo operativo, fueron los más afectados debido a la falta de planes de contingencia por parte de las entidades financieras ante un escenario extremista como fue la pandemia del Covid- 19 que frenó la colocación de créditos, recuperación de cartera, ocasionando reducción de nómina de trabajadores, desempleo, crisis económica, y falta de liquidez.
