Watermarking for the Secure Transmission of the Key into an Encrypted Image
Authors: Khalfallah Ali , Abdmouleh Med Karim , Bouhlel Med Salim
Published: November 2020

Ensuring the confidentiality of any data exchanged always presents a great concern for all communication instances. Technically, encryption is the ideal solution for this task. However, this process must deal with the progress of the cryptanalysis that aims to disclose the information exchanged. The risk increases due to the need for a dual transmission that includes the encrypted medium and the decryption key. In a context of chaotic encryption of images, we propose to insert the decryption key into the encrypted image using image watermarking. Thus, only the watermarked encrypted image will be transmitted. Upon reception, the recipient extracts the key and decrypts the image. The cryptosystem proposed is based on an encryption using a dynamic Look-Up Table issued from a chaotic generator. The obtained results prove the efficiency of our method to ensure a secure exchange of images and keys.
Information Volume of Mass Function
Authors: Deng Yong
Published: November 2020

Given a probability distribution, its corresponding information volume is Shannon entropy. However, how to determine the information volume of a given mass function is still an open issue. Based on Deng entropy, the information volume of mass function is presented in this paper. Given a mass function, the corresponding information volume is larger than its uncertainty measured by Deng entropy. In addition, when the cardinal of the frame of discernment is identical, both the total uncertainty case and the BPA distribution of the maximum Deng entropy have the same information volume. Some numerical examples are illustrated to show the efficiency of the proposed information volume of mass function.

Published: November 2020

Abstract Objective: We aimed to evaluate whether human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients with and without clinically significant memory deficits and healthy control participants differ on in vivo hydrogen-1 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) in the posterior cingulate gyri. Materials and Methods: In total, 21 HIV-positive patients with memory deficit (HIV+wMD) were compared with 15 HIV-positive patients without memory deficit (HIV+wOMD) and 22 sex-, age-, and education-matched control participants. Memory impairments were classified based on the participants’ performance on the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test. Short echo time (30 ms), single-voxel H-MRS was performed using a 1.5-T magnetic resonance scanner. Results: The HIV+wMD and HIV+wOMD groups had higher choline/creatine ratio in the posterior cingulate gyri than the control group. There were no significant metabolite ratio differences between the HIV+wMD and HIV+wOMD groups. Conclusion: HIV-positive patients with and without memory deficits had significantly higher choline/creatine ratios than controls in the posterior cingulate gyri, which may reflect cerebral inflammation, altered cell membrane metabolism, microgliosis, and/or astrocytosis.

Published: November 2020

Abstract Objective: To establish the prevalence of patellar chondropathy using 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to correlate the findings with individual features such as gender, age, and body mass index. Materials and Methods: Data consisted of collecting 3T MRIs of patients’ knees obtained between October 2016 and September 2017, comprising a period of 12 months. These MRIs were assessed by an experienced musculoskeletal radiologist who confirmed the presence of patellar chondropathy and, when present, rated the finding into the four grades ascribed by the International Cartilage Repair Society. Results: A total number of 291 patients were assessed during the period with 389 MRI scans. Of those patients, 308 (79.2%) were diagnosed with patellar chondropathy, while 81 (20.8%) were not. Chondropathy was more prevalent in the female gender, in subjects above 40 years of age, and in obese patients. When the results were weighed in International Cartilage Repair Society classification, the milder grades (1 and 2) were seen in younger men (< 30 years of age), while the more severe grades (3 and 4) were mostly present in females, those above 40 years of age, and in obese patients. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of patellar chondropathy in patients who had undergone high-field knee MRIs (79.2%), being highest in the female gender and in subjects above 40 years of age. The most prevalent group was graded as 4 by the International Cartilage Repair Society classification.

Published: November 2020

Abstract Objective: To determine whether evaluating the mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) together with capsular contact (CC) adds value in the prediction of microscopic extracapsular extension (ECE) of prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Between January 2012 and December 2016, 383 patients underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate. A total of 67 patients were selected for inclusion. Two radiologists (observers 1 and 2), working independently, performed qualitative and quantitative analyses of ECE, macroscopic ECE, and microscopic ECE. A third radiologist assessed the correlation with the clinical data, and two experienced pathologists reviewed all histopathological findings. Results: Among the 67 patients, mpMRI showed lesions that were confined to the capsule in 44 (66.7%), had microscopic ECE in 12 (17.9%), and had macroscopic ECE in 11 (16.4%). There were no significant differences, in terms of the diagnostic accuracy, as measured by determining the area under the curve (AUC), of CC on T2-weighted images (CCT2), CC on diffusion-weighted imaging (CCDWI), and the mean ADC for the prediction of microscopic ECE, between observer 1 (AUC of 0.728, 0.691, and 0.675, respectively) and observer 2 (AUC of 0.782, 0.821, and 0.799, respectively). Combining the mean ADC with the CCT2 or CCDWI did not improve the diagnostic accuracy for either observer. There was substantial interobserver agreement for the qualitative evaluation of ECE, as demonstrated by the kappa statistic, which was 0.77 (0.66-0.87). The diagnostic accuracy (AUC) of the qualitative assessment for predicting microscopic ECE was 0.745 for observer 1 and 0.804 for observer 2, and the difference was less than significant. In a multivariate analysis, none of clinical or imaging parameters were found to be associated with ECE. Conclusion: For the detection of microscopic ECE on mpMRI, CC appears to have good diagnostic accuracy, especially if the observer has considerable experience. Adding the mean ADC to the CCT2 or CCDWI does not seem to provide any significant improvement in that diagnostic accuracy.

Published: November 2020

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of acromial inferolateral tilt on subacromial impingement syndrome. Materials and Methods: The acromial inferolateral tilt was retrospectively quantified by two researchers on 346 shoulder magnetic resonance images using the glenoacromial (between the inferior proximal acromial surface and the glenoidal face) and acromioclavicular (between the axis of the proximal acromion and distal clavicle) angles. Results: The glenoacromial angle was associated with subacromial impingement syndrome (p < 0.001) and complete supraspinatus tendon rupture (p < 0.001), and the acromioclavicular angle was associated with partial or complete supraspinatus tendon rupture (p = 0.003). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), best cut-off angle, and odds ratio (OR) of the glenoacromial angle for impingement syndrome were 0.579 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.508-0.649; p = 0.032), 72°, and 2.1 (95% CI: 1.136-4.053), respectively. For complete supraspinatus tendon rupture, the AUC, best cut-off angle, and OR of the glenoacromial angle were 0.731 (95% CI: 0.626-0.837; p = 0.001), 69°, and 8.496 (95% CI: 2.883-28.33), respectively. For partial or complete supraspinatus tendon rupture, the AUC, best cut-off angle and OR of the acromioclavicular angle were 0.617 (95% CI: 0.539-0.694; p = 0.002), 17°, and 3.288 (95% CI: 1.886-5.768), respectively. Interobserver agreement found for the glenoacromial and acromioclavicular angles were 0.737 (95% CI: 0.676-0.787; p < 0.001) and 0.507 (95% CI: 0.391-0.601; p = 0.001), respectively. Conclusion: Inferolateral acromial tilt may have some impact on subacromial impingement syndrome; however, the best quantification method identified (glenoacromial angle) showed a moderate interobserver agreement and a fair performance to assess the risk of complete supraspinatus tendon rupture.
How heuristics and cognitive biases affect vaccination decisions
Authors: Luz Paula Mendes , Nadanovsky Paulo , Leask Julie
Published: November 2020

Abstract: Immunization, the most successful public health intervention to date, can only be effective if eligible individuals or their legal representatives have access to vaccines and subsequently comply with their use. Under-vaccination stems from multiple causes: access, affordability, awareness, acceptance and activation. In this paper, we focus on acceptance and, specifically, on factors pertaining to individual or parental compliance, specifically the psychology of judgment and decision making. We describe how heuristics and cognitive biases - a facet of thoughts and feelings - affect vaccination decision making. Additionally, we address when and how social processes play a role and how attitudes towards vaccines might reflect a more general underlying attitude or ideology. The understanding of how decision making, with regards to vaccines occurs, and the role played by heuristics and cognitive biases can help inform more appropriate public health interventions.

Published: November 2020

This study examines the primary health care (PHC) organization in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. This is a descriptive study based on the document analysis of the countries’ responses to the coronavirus pandemic with emphasis on PHC. In various countries, there have been different organizations and impacts of strategies since they have conducted actions according to the local characteristics of disease transmission, demography, public health services organization, and health system’s capacity and financing, especially in the PHC area. A significant change during the pandemic has been the increase in telephone and video consultations incorporating health information technology. An efficient PHC, guided by essential actions, achieves more suitable results. Also, each country’s cumulative capacity or experience makes the difference facing the emerging demands on different health systems.
O desenvolvimento de vacinas contra as doenças tropicais negligenciadas
Authors: Luna Expedito José de Albuquerque , Campos Sérgio Roberto de Souza Leão da Costa
Published: November 2020

As doenças tropicais negligenciadas constituem um grupo heterogêneo de enfermidades que apresentam como característica comum afetarem populações pobres e desassistidas, com pouca capacidade de vocalização e de poder político. Em consequência, recebem pouca atenção da indústria farmacêutica e da academia. O presente estudo teve como propósito resumir o estado da arte quanto ao desenvolvimento de vacinas para três doenças tropicais negligenciadas de relevância no Brasil, a doença de Chagas, a esquistossomose mansoni e as leishmanioses. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura científica, na qual foram incluídas publicações que permitiram traçar um panorama atual do desenvolvimento de vacinas para as três doenças. Essas vacinas estão em estágios distintos de desenvolvimento. Os projetos de desenvolvimento de vacinas contra a tripanossomíase americana ainda não chegaram à fase clínica de avaliação. Já para a esquistossomose há candidatos à vacina em fase avançada de avaliação clínica. Para as leishmanioses já existem vacinas veterinárias licenciadas e produtos candidatos à vacina humana em etapa intermediária de avaliação clínica. O reduzido financiamento para esses projetos tem contribuído para retardar o desenvolvimento dos produtos.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Background: The best technique for incisional hernioplasty has not been established yet. One of the difficulties to compare these techniques is heterogeneity in the profile of the patients evaluated. Aim: To analyze the results of three techniques for incisional hernioplasty after open bariatric surgery. Method: Patients who underwent incisional hernioplasty were divided into three groups: onlay technique, simple suture and retromuscular technique. Results and quality of life after repair using Carolina’s Comfort Scale were evaluated through analysis of medical records, telephone contact and elective appointments. Results: 363 surgical reports were analyzed and 263 were included: onlay technique (n=89), simple suture (n=100), retromuscular technique (n=74). The epidemiological profile of patients was similar between groups. The onlay technique showed higher seroma rates (28.89%) and used a surgical drain more frequently (55.56%). The simple suture technique required longer hospital stay (2.86 days). The quality of life score was worse for the retromuscular technique (8.43) in relation to the onlay technique (4.7) and the simple suture (2.34), especially because of complaints of chronic pain. There was no difference in short-term recurrence. Conclusion: The retromuscular technique showed a worse quality of life than the other techniques in a homogeneous group of patients. The three groups showed no difference in terms of short-term hernia recurrence.

ABSTRACT Background: Despite all the advances in medicine and the wide variety of dressings available, the treatment of burn wounds still represents an important medical challenge. The pinus cellulose membrane dressing is a biomaterial with characteristics similar to those of bacterial cellulose, but with lower cost. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of pinus nanocellulose membrane on healing of deep second degree burns in rats and compare with Membracel®. Method: Thirty male Wistar rats were submitted to deep second degree burn in dorse, with boiling water at 97o C for 20 s, generating a 314 mm² area wound. The animals were distributed in three dressing groups (n=10): group 1 - simple gauze; group 2 - bacterial cellulose membrane (Membracel®); and group 3 - pinus cellulose membrane. They were evaluated for 20 days to verify clinical condition, macro and microscopic appearance and wound contraction. Results: All of them remained clinically well with no differences in weight. Crusts were observed in group 1, and none in groups 2 and 3. Regarding to scar contraction, groups 2 and 3 were similar, better than group 1. Microscopic analysis showed predominance of advanced healing degree in groups 1 and 3, and initial in group 2. Mature collagen was predominant in all groups. Conclusion: The pinus nanocellulose membrane is effective in the treatment of experimental second degree burn in rats and its effectiveness is similar to that of the bacterial nanocellular membrane.

Abstract: The performance measurement systems (PMS) have been studied over the last ten years, but this is still a very important research topic for companies and it keep being studied nowadays, because such systems help in decision-making, they allow monitoring and control indicators, and to assist business and operations strategy realization. The recent studies on PMS mostly are on reviewing their concepts and definitions, models, frameworks, design and implementation recommendations, etc. Based on a study oriented to PMS use described by roles to be played, this article aims to discuss the interrelationships between the roles of a performance measurement system, to cluster them and to formulate recommendations for their adoption and proper use. Thus, a survey collected and analyzed the perception of business representatives, who are able to express their agreement levels for PMS roles and use. Data are analyzed by using cluster analysis technique where the roles forms four groups, which can be confronted with the findings of related works from PMS literature. From the groups formed, it is possible to indicate four main domains of recommendations: to assure the alignment between strategic management of operations and its performance, promoting and improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the business operations results; to produce positive changes in organizational systems, processes and culture, developing the capacity to manage continuous improvement projects through integrated strategic management systems; to have a customer-oriented design approach; to be orientated and to manage stakeholders’ demands.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Polyunsaturated fatty acids oxidize easily due to their chemical structure, causing a reduction of their nutritional properties. Nanostructured systems may be an alternative to protect fatty acids against oxidation, improving solubility and stability. Consequently, nutritional value of food is maintained as well as the sensory characteristics (color, flavor, texture, and aroma) when fatty acids are added to food products. The present study is a narrative review to introduce the potential benefits of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids nanoparticles incorporated in food products. The literature review includes publications in English and Portuguese issued between March 1985 and March 2019, in PubMed, ScienceDirect and Web of Science databases. Manual searches were conducted in the articles references lists of the articles included to identify other relevant studies. There were studies that evaluated the stability of fatty acids in food products such as bread, fruit juice, milk, yogurt, and meat. In this study, the most used nanostructured systems for the incorporation of fatty acids were the nanocapsules and the nanoliposomes. Currently, the nanostructured system demonstrates a potential to improve protection of polyunsaturated fatty acids against oxidization and thermal degradation. In this way, they maintain their functional properties and their bioavailability increases and therapeutic efficacy and sensory properties are improved. There are several methodologies being tested, which makes it difficult to identify the most efficient formulation to protect fatty acids. Nanostructured systems seem to be the best alternative to protect polyunsatured fatty acids from oxidization. The encapsulation efficiency, particle’s size and type are relevant factors to be considered to evaluate oxidization. In conclusion, the review showed that currently it is impossible to determine the most efficient methodology. Besides, nanoformulations should follow international guidelines to present more standardized and therefore more efficient particles.

Published: November 2020

Resumo O campo da Saúde do Trabalhador (ST) se consolidou como política pública no Brasil a partir da Constituição Federal (1988) e, em 2002, os Centros de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador (CEREST) são apontados como principal política. O objetivo deste estudo foi fazer mapeamento nacional e análise do perfil e atuação dos psicólogos que atuam nos CERESTs. Para tanto, realizou-se um questionário online contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas com psicólogos que atuam nos CERESTs, em que obtivemos 48 respostas. Analisando a formação, abordagens teóricas e outras questões vinculadas ao emprego do psicólogo no CEREST, verificou-se que há limites desde a formação à prática cotidiana, que dificulta uma atuação mais alinhada com as premissas do campo da Saúde do Trabalhador. Verificou-se a necessidade de resgatar alguns princípios da ST, como o protagonismo dos trabalhadores, aprimorar a formação na área e avançar na construção de uma rede, rompendo com o isolamento hoje presente nos CERESTs.

Published: November 2020

Resumo As internações psiquiátricas compulsórias (IPC) têm sido amplamente discutidas, ressaltando tensões entre seu aumento expressivo e o que preconiza a reforma psiquiátrica. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender os sentidos produzidos com equipes de saúde mental sobre IPC e seus desafios cotidianos. Para tanto, criamos seis grupos focais com profissionais de um hospital psiquiátrico. Os encontros foram audiogravados e as transcrições analisadas qualitativamente, com destaque aos sentidos construídos sobre IPC e seus desafios no cotidiano. Nossa análise aponta que, embora os profissionais façam uso dos mesmos recursos terapêuticos, a IPC se diferencia no cotidiano pela forma como é feita a admissão, que implica em baixa adesão e prorrogação da internação pela interferência do judiciário. Concluímos que o uso de IPC, para sanar questões sociais, persiste, e que o diálogo entre a justiça e a saúde é fundamental para recuperação dos princípios éticos e humanos que orientam a reforma psiquiátrica.

Resumo A Lei do Salão Parceiro em 2016 foi aprovada sob o discurso da flexibilização e formalização do trabalho autônomo; entretanto, o processo de pejotização dos trabalhadores tem sido um de seus efeitos e estudado sob o olhar da precarização do trabalho. A presente pesquisa objetivou caracterizar a percepção de manicures e cabeleireiras(os) acerca de suas experiências de trabalho e confrontá-la com os argumentos presentes na proposição da lei. Para isso, realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas com 11 cabeleireiras(os) e manicures e aplicamos análise hermenêutica-dialética. Os resultados indicaram três unidades de sentido: Caracterização mercadológica e ocupacional; Tradições trabalhistas no setor de beleza; e Realidade após a Lei do Salão Parceiro. Elas apontaram a ausência de uma autonomia real na mudança e no exercício da atividade como parceiro do salão de beleza e a desinformação acerca da figura jurídica do microempreendedor individual.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT With the advent of glyphosate-resistant soybean, postemergence applications of the herbicide have become routine. In this way, problems related to the selectivity of glyphosate have been shown to be increasingly intense, due to the use of increased dosages and applications of the herbicide at unrecommended moments. In order to evaluate the agronomic performance of soybean plants subjected to the postemergence application of glyphosate – both in isolation and together with Crop+ – at different stages and dosage levels, a randomized block design experiment was carried out with two adjacent checks and four repetitions. The treatments consisted of: glyphosate (1296 g·ha-1); glyphosate + Crop+ (1296 + 0.25 g or L·ha-1); glyphosate + Crop+ (1296 + 0.5 g or L·ha-1); glyphosate (2592 g·ha-1); glyphosate + Crop+ (2592 + 0.25 g or L·ha-1); glyphosate + Crop+ (2592 + 0.5 g or L·ha-1); 2 × glyphosate (2 × 1296 g·ha-1); 2 × glyphosate + Crop+ (2 × 1296 + 0.25 g or L·ha-1); 2 × glyphosate + Crop+ (2 × 1296 + 0.5 g or L·ha-1) and Crop+ (0.5 g·ha-1). The phytotoxicity, soil plant analysis development (SPAD) index, height, stand, mass of 100 grains, and yield of the soybean plants were evaluated. The use of Crop+ on soybean plants led to an increase in the SPAD index; the use of Crop+ in association with glyphosate made possible the attenuation of visible symptoms of damage, preventing reductions in crop yield.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze how nursing is represented by the series that portray the context of clinical health care. v Method: a descriptive, exploratory study carried out in a public Higher Education Institution. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with nursing students. Data analysis was performed through content analysis, supported by IRAMUTEQ version 0.7 and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0 software. Results: the analysis of the data allowed for the identification of two categories directly related to the role of nursing and to the power relations between the characters. Yet, although television series are common among nursing students, they have not influenced them in choosing the course. However, the positive perception on the part of some interviewees was related to admiration for the field of human health, but not with the nursing characters represented in the television shows. Conclusion: nursing in health series is not perceived as a leading category in its responsibilities in the care process, but only as an auxiliary group. It is noticed that the media reproduces the biomedical model, emphasizing the medical professional as the central character in clinical care.

Resumo Este artigo é resultado do projeto de iniciação científica Os Caminhos da Autonomia que, através da realização de um grupo reflexivo, pretendeu promover a interação entre ex-moradores de rua abrigados em um projeto social, membros de uma parcela da população em situação de vulnerabilidade, para que esses indivíduos despertassem para suas realidades pessoais a partir desse trabalho conjunto, de modo a se tornarem agentes transformadores de si mesmos na construção de sua autonomia. Para tanto, a metodologia aplicada de grupos reflexivos teve por finalidade a escuta e as identificações dos seus integrantes dentro de uma mesma problemática, buscando alternativas para suas resoluções. Realizaram-se quinze encontros programados e direcionados por temas de interesses comuns, nos quais foram relatadas suas histórias de vida de forma que se pudesse descobrir as singularidades de cada uma dessas narrativas. Os resultados alcançados apontam para o amadurecimento emocional do grupo, a descoberta de possibilidades reais de conscientização, que viabilizem caminhos de autonomia, sendo objetivo maior o de reconhecer a motivação para as mudanças de sua realidade através da sua história.
O Discurso Meritocrático nas Explicações Parentais de Crianças com Queixa Escolar
Authors: Garbarino Mariana Inés
Published: November 2020

Resumo O artigo discute a leitura meritocrática do fracasso escolar e mapeia sua emergência no discurso de participantes de um programa de extensão universitária que atende crianças com queixa escolar. Indaga-se a dimensão social do discurso sobre dificuldades de aprendizagem explorando e comparando de que modo esta ressoa nas tramas significantes de crianças e adultos. Foram analisadas 128 fichas de inscrição onde os sujeitos assinalaram o motivo da demanda de atendimento. Com base em análise qualitativa e quantitativa (não estatística) das produções discursivas, reflete-se acerca da coconstrução dos sentidos da queixa escolar. Os resultados mostram que, diferentemente dos motivos infantis, o discurso causal dos adultos tende a ser individualizante, o que se expressa na responsabilização da criança pelo “não aprender” justificada, predominantemente, por problemas de concentração e atenção. Concluiu-se que esses dados são coerentes com a atual lógica fragmentadora oriunda do crescente fenômeno da medicalização da infância, que desloca o conflito escolar para o âmbito da saúde mental.

Authors: Guimarães Valéria Maria Azevedo , Silva Joilson Pereira da
Published: November 2020

Resumo A existência de mitos e tabus que envolvem a sexualidade pode dificultar a disseminação de informações adequadas para a sociedade. Sabe-se que a população surda, por não ter os mesmos meios de aquisição de informações dos ouvintes, lida com limitações no acesso a essa temática. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar uma revisão sistemática de artigos científicos sobre sexualidade e surdez. Para isso, no período de setembro a novembro de 2017, foi feita uma busca utilizando os descritores sexualidade, surdez, surdo e deficiente auditivo, nas línguas portuguesa, inglesa e espanhola, em cinco bases de dados. A busca teve o período delimitado entre 2000 e 2017, e o resultado final selecionou quinze artigos. A sexualidade por meio de experiências sexuais, mitos e relacionamentos e a violência e/ou abuso sexual foram os assuntos com maior prevalência. A questão da homossexualidade foi menos evidente nas produções científicas. A revisão mostrou que o conjunto de estudos avaliados retrata a sexualidade de forma abrangente e com temas atuais. Além disso, são escassos os estudos científicos referentes a sexualidade e surdez, sendo necessários mais estudos com a participação das pessoas surdas no intuito de compreendê-las, orientá-las e informá-las sobre o assunto em questão.
Academic Procrastination: Relationships with Support from the Environment and Self-Leadership
Authors: Melo Tais Guedes de , Mendonça Helenides
Published: November 2020

Abstract Procrastination is the behavior related to voluntary delays at the beginning or end of tasks and in decision making. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mediational effect of self-leadership strategies on the relationship between academic procrastination and support from the environment. A cross-sectional correlational study was carried out with the participation of 1,436 students. Three instruments were used: Learning Support Scale, Academic Procrastination Scale - Short Form and Revised Self-Leadership Questionnaire. The findings confirmed the hypotheses by demonstrating that the more students use self-leadership strategies, the less they procrastinate and the lesser the influence of support from the environment. The full mediation model has been confirmed. The study stands out for its understanding of procrastination and the influence of support from the environment and self-leadership. It is suggested that further longitudinal studies be conducted, assessing differences in these behaviors between groups of students, programs, levels of higher education or shifts.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the correspondence of the terms found in nurses' and physiotherapists' records for orthopedic patients with the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). Method: A descriptive study carried out in a university hospital in southern Brazil. The sample consisted of 392 records of 49 patients submitted to Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Data collection was retrospective in the electronic health record. Data was analyzed and compared with the NOC outcomes using the cross-mapping method. Result: The most prevalent outcomes were the following: Pain Level, Falls Occurrence and Mobility. There was sharing of outcomes between the two categories, except for Falls Occurrence and Respiratory Status. Conclusion: Standardizing nurses' and Physiotherapists' records according to the NOC can improve the quality of the clinical documentation of the outcomes of patients undergoing THA.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the Primary Health Care inter-sectoral network in a rural context to face domestic violence against children and adolescents. Method: A qualitative research study, with the Paradigm of Complexity as theoretical and methodological framework. Eighteen health professionals from two rural Family Health Units in a municipality in the state of São Paulo were the participants. Data was collected through minimum maps of the institutional network and focus groups in May and June 2019. Data was analyzed through thematic analysis. Results: Two categories emerged, entitled "It's not nonexistent, but it's complicated" and "We're always on the firing line". The existence of a weakened network; assistance based on biomedical bias; and care fragmentation were characteristics present in the care provided to the families. Final considerations: The absence of network care was evident, with isolation and overload of the Primary Health Care unit that is enhanced by the characteristics of rurality.

RESUMO No contexto da conservação biológica, os elevados níveis de degradação ambiental têm como origem principal a expansão histórica da fronteira agrícola brasileira, fenômeno particularmente intenso na Mata Atlântica. Neste contexto, o Laboratório de Ecologia e Restauração Florestal da Universidade de São Paulo desenvolve, desde 1998, o Programa de Adequação Ambiental e Agrícola de Propriedades Rurais (PAAA). O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma avaliação da efetividade ambiental e socioeconômica do citado programa, identificando seus principais sucessos e deficiências. Após a avaliação, verificou-se que o programa obteve benefícios ambientais e socioeconômicos diversos, como a produção de 60,000 a 300,000 mudas de espécies nativas por propriedade, além da geração de 106 empregos diretos e a doação anual de 16,000 a 120,000 mudas. Os resultados do PAAA implantado em diferentes propriedades servem como subsídio para fortalecer a pressão pela criação de políticas públicas para potencializar as ações de regularização ambiental e agrícola tanto no Estado de São Paulo, quanto em propriedades rurais localizadas em outros Estados do Brasil.
Os amigos do bem comum: o engajamento político dos “repúblicos” no Portugal do século XVII
Authors: Saraiva Daniel
Published: November 2020

RESUMO O presente artigo pretende lançar luz sobre o insuspeito republicanismo que floresceu no Portugal do século XVII. Muito antes do advento do republicanismo liberal, o reino português alimentou uma longeva tradição de liberdade e devoção ao bem comum, singularmente ilustrada pelo engajamento político dos autoproclamados “repúblicos”. Alegando encarnar um modelo ideal de virtude cívica, eles se apresentavam como os amigos do bem comum e assumiam a tarefa de condenar os vícios da república, o que faziam através da publicação de livros de crítica política. Seu esforço para comunicarem-se com seus compatriotas anuncia um novo tipo de participação política, que não mais se realiza nos palácios silenciosos da nobreza ou no espaço restrito da corte real, mas na esfera pública emergente.
O fim das fraternidades raciais latino-americanas no imaginário afro-americano: a viagem de George Schuyler pela América Latina (1948)
Authors: Francisco Flavio Thales Ribeiro
Published: November 2020

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é o de analisar o relato de viagem do intelectual afro-americano George Schuyler pela América Latina em 1948. A sua intenção era a de retratar a presença e as experiências dos negros nas forças armadas dos países latino-americanos, comparando-as com a situação dos negros nas forças armadas estadunidenses. Naquele mesmo ano, o presidente Harry Truman havia assinado uma ordem executiva para iniciar o processo de desagregação das forças armadas, tentando assegurar o voto dos negros em uma eleição disputada com outros dois candidatos. O jornal Pittsburgh Courier, no qual atuava George Schuyler, interessado em promover o debate sobre a inclusão de negros nas forças armadas, financiou a sua viagem pela América Latina. Schuyler acreditava na ideia, compartilhada entre várias lideranças negras, de que as sociedades latino-americanas, apesar da pobreza material, eram muito mais inclusivas que a estadunidense, possibilitando a mobilidade social das populações negras pelo continente, principalmente no Brasil. Entretanto, ao testemunhar a realidade dos negros latino-americanos, o intelectual fez um retrato distinto das representações difundidas entre os afro-americanos, apontando para a coexistência entre miscigenação e preconceito racial, um fenômeno considerado contraditório para estudiosos das relações raciais naquele momento.
A atuação da Irmandade de Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito dos Homens Pretos (Desterro) e a figuração sociopolítica em torno das eleições 1846-1847

RESUMO Analisa-se a participação da comunidade africana na eleição catarinense de 1846-1847. Discutem-se as disputas internas entre “pretos” e “crioulos” na Irmandade do Rosário e São Beneditino, os contextos que permearam os conflitos em torno da permanência de barracas e quitandas de africanos no Largo da Matriz, as perseguições contra ajuntamentos de escravos e forros encabeçados pela Sociedade Patriótica (maçonaria), a presença de jesuítas e partidários conservadores na Irmandade e, por fim, a poesia política de Marcelino Antonio Dutra. Deseja-se compreender a figuração sociopolítica em torno da formação do bipartidarismo na Província de Santa Catarina e a agência social dos africanos da Irmandade nesse contexto.
À procura da intimidade: formas de oração em língua vernácula na França dos séculos XIV e XV
Authors: Almeida Letícia Gonçalves Alfeu de
Published: November 2020

RESUMO Este artigo analisa uma série de textos de oração compostos em língua francesa nos séculos XIV e XV e que ensinaram a um público laico modalidades devocionais consideradas “interiores”, isto é, de inspiração monástica, fundadas na leitura, na meditação e na oração privada. Trata-se de explorar como tais textos redigidos por clérigos e distintos dos livros de horas - que nesse período ainda privilegiavam o latim - veicularam um programa de vida virtuosa para leigos interessados em dedicar-se mais integralmente à oração em seu cotidiano doméstico. Importa interrogar o valor desses ensinamentos num momento de tensões geradas pelo Cisma papal que dividiu a Igreja entre Roma e Avinhão de 1378 a 1417, e igualmente pela reprovação clerical dos excessos devocionais vindos de figuras que então buscavam formas mais íntimas e diretas de diálogo com Deus, com frequência manifestas em visões, êxtases e estigmas, bem como no menosprezo dos sacramentos.

Abstract: Introduction: the use of language assessment instruments in the area of speech-language-therapy is essential for the diagnosis and, consequently, for therapeutic planning. In Brazil, there is a shortage of instruments constructed and validated in the morphosyntax area. Morphosyntactic Evaluation Protocol (MEP) was constructed based on the main syntactic characteristics of the period of acquisition of children’s language, on the Portuguese grammatical structure and the application in a pilot study. Objective: To verify the validity of MEP content. Methods: for the validation process, the instrument was applied and analyzed through a questionnaire by three judges, a linguist and two speech-language specialists with experience in assisting children with Language Development Disorder. The Index of Judges’ Reliability was used to compare the results of the protocol application and the Cronbach’s Alpha tests, Spearman-Brown and Content Validity Index (CVI) in the questionnaire responses. Results: the statistical tests applied in the validation of content legitimized the reliability of the instrument with indexes considered substantial for both alpha coefficients, higher than 0.80, Spearman and the CVI test had a maximum concept of 1.0. Conclusion: there were compliance and compatibility in the answers of the experts, which indicates the reliability of the instrument. The results of the statistical tests legitimize the reliability of the instrument with indexes considered substantial for alpha and Spearman coefficient. In the future, the protocol may help characterize the syntactic profile of children with language developmental disorder.

An integrative review of the literature of the last thirty years on evaluations of HIV prevention strategies implemented in the mass media in Latin America was conducted. A total of 246 documents were identified, of which 12 met the selection criteria and 15 campaign evaluations were identified. The results indicate that the most commonly used message was to promote the use of condoms. Most evaluations focused on remembering the message of campaigns and media exposure. Only three yield results on knowledge assessments and two on attitudes to condom use; nine reported behavioral changes. In conclusion, there are few articles with evaluation results. The assessment of behaviors is increasingly taken into account. Pre-experimental evaluation designs are used.
