Published: December 2022

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the association of the variables age, gender, arch position, tooth length, root canal amplitude, and periapical lesion size with the occurrence of postoperative signs and symptoms (pain, tenderness, and edema) and the use of postoperative analgesics following root canal treatment with foraminal enlargement in single-rooted teeth with apical periodontitis. This prospective longitudinal study included 105 patients requiring root canal treatment of maxillary or mandibular single-rooted teeth with periapical lesion. After root canal treatment in a single session, pain intensity and tenderness were recorded daily for 7 days and on days 14 and 30. Edema was evaluated by two independent evaluators within 48 h, 72 h, and 7 days after treatment. Ordinal and logistic regressions were performed (p < 0.05). Female gender (beta = 1.02; p < 0.01), mandibular teeth (beta = 25.50; p < 0.01), medium root canal amplitude (beta = 0.93; p = 0.03), and edema (beta = 1.88; p < 0.01) were associated with increased postoperative pain and tenderness, while the use of analgesics (beta = -1.82; p < 0.01) and time in days (beta = -0.23; p < 0.01) were associated with a decrease in these signs and symptoms. Edema was considered a risk factor for analgesic requirement (Odds Ratio [OR] = 61.46; p < 0.01). Factors such as gender, arch position, and root canal amplitude were associated with postoperative signs and symptoms. The use of analgesics was more required in edema and was associated with decreased pain.
Do racional desregramento de todos os sentidos de Rimbaud ao sentimento de racionalidade em James
Authors: Leão Maria Eloisa do Amaral , Guimarães Danilo Silva
Published: December 2022

Resumo Este ensaio traz o método do racional desregramento de todos os sentidos, do poeta Arthur Rimbaud, como ponto de partida para uma reflexão sobre a relação entre razão e afeto e para um possível diálogo com a noção de sentimento de racionalidade, do psicólogo e filósofo William James, sob a perspectiva teórico-metodológica do construtivismo semiótico-cultural em psicologia. Aborda-se o experimento de inalação do óxido nitroso de James como uma experiência de desregramento dos sentidos que proporcionou a ele uma compreensão sobre a questão da unidade e da variedade, ajudando a enriquecer sua cosmovisão empirista e pluralista, em oposição ao racionalismo monista de Hegel.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the level of occupational noise emitted by automotive harvesters during coffee harvest. For the evaluations, three self-propelled harvesters were used: Case-IH® model Coffee Express 200, with cabin; Korvan® model 9200, without cabin; and Oxbo® model 9220, with cabin. Data were collected using a noise dosimeter model DOS-700. Noise levels were assessed for the operator and assistant of each harvester. Five repetitions were performed for the operator and assistant, with each repetition consisting of 2 h of evaluation. Results obtained were compared with the action level and exposure limit of the Regulatory Norms (NR) 15 and Occupational Hygiene Norms (NHO) 01. The action levels of the NHO 01 (82 dB) and NR 15 (80 dB) regulations were exceeded for the operator and assistant in the three evaluated harvesters. Regarding the exposure limit (85 dB), the level was exceeded for the operator of the Korvan® and Case-IH® harvesters in accordance with NHO 01. In the NR 15 regulation, the exposure limit was > 85 dB for the operator of the Korvan® harvester. For the assistant, all harvesters emitted noise levels > 85 dB based on both the NHO 01 and NR 15 regulations.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT: This study analyzed the response of the Bartlett test as a function of sample size and to define the optimal sample size for the test with soybean grain yield data. Six experiments were conducted in a randomized block design with 20 or 30 cultivars and three repetitions. Grain yield was determined per plant, totaling 9,000 sampled plants. Next, sample scenarios of 1, 2, ..., 100 plants were simulated and the optimal sample size was defined via maximum curvature points. The increase in sampled plants per experimental unit favors Bartlett test’s precision. Also, the sampling of 17 to 20 plants per experimental unit is enough to maintain the accuracy of the test.

Abstract Brazil is characterized by strong social inequalities and differences in access to quality food and sufficient quantities of it, which represent a violation of the human right to adequate food. The aim was to assess food expenditures according to the social profiles of the head of the households. Data from the cross-sectional Brazilian Household Budget Survey (2017/2018) were used with a nationally representative sample of household survey participants (n=52,917). Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) to assess the association of different social profiles with the acquisition of food. The profile characterized by woman self-classified as white, with a higher education, which characteristics were positively and significantly associated with more acquisition of fruits (PR=1.22; CI95% 1.09-1.36) and vegetables and greens (PR=1.24; CI95% 1.09-1.41). Black women with low education levels showed a negative association with the consumption of soda (PR=0.53; CI95% 0.45-0.62), and prepared food (PR=0.52; CI95% 0.37-0.74). The results reveal great inequalities in the purchase of food between the social profiles of the heads of the family.

Resumo Neste artigo apresentamos resultados de uma pesquisa que integra o projeto internacional “Gender and COVID-19”, que contempla diversos temas relacionados aos impactos da pandemia na vida de mulheres e suas famílias, entre eles a insegurança alimentar e a fome. Foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas entre dezembro de 2020 e novembro de 2021 com 49 mulheres, moradoras de dois aglomerados urbanos, Cabana do Pai Tomás (Belo Horizonte, MG) e Sapopemba (São Paulo, SP), e de duas comunidades rurais quilombolas, Córrego do Rocha (Chapada do Norte, MG) e Córrego do Narciso (Araçuaí, MG). As análises foram baseadas nas seguintes categorias: sentimentos e termos relacionados à fome; redução na quantidade e qualidade de alimentos; ausência de alimento e nutrientes; dificuldades para produzir alimento, receber auxílio emergencial e/ou doação de alimentos; avaliação dos governos e redes de apoio. Os relatos das entrevistadas evidenciam os desafios vivenciados, suas formas de enfrentamento e críticas à falta de respostas dos governos. Além de apresentarem uma perspectiva de gênero, as mulheres, em especial as lideranças que atuaram na construção de redes de solidariedade, são vozes fundamentais no planejamento de ações de prevenção e mitigação dos impactos de situações emergenciais em suas comunidades.

Published: December 2022

Abstract A descriptive, cross-sectional, and quantitative study was conducted in 2019 with 202 participants randomly selected from a male penitentiary, with the application of a questionnaire, clinical care, and laboratory tests to estimate the prevalence of risk factors and noncommunicable chronic diseases in people deprived of their liberty. Data analysis verified associations using Fisher’s Exact Test and Chi-square Test. The predominant sociodemographic profile of the participants consisted of less-educated single, black, over 30 males with high prison recidivism. Most were sedentary smokers with high alcohol and drug consumption before incarceration. We identified prevalence levels of hypertension (24.8%), dyslipidemia (54.5%), overweight (49.9%), metabolic syndrome (16.8%), and diabetes (2.5%). The difficulty in accessing health services associated with long sentences and the unhealthy environment favors the development and deterioration of chronic diseases and their risk factors, a challenge for the organization of prison health care. This setting reiterates the need to apply resources and efforts to implement comprehensive, longitudinal, and equitable care for people deprived of liberty.

Resumo Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar os possíveis impactos das mudanças climáticas na saúde respiratória nos municípios de Santo André e São Caetano do Sul. Foram analisados dados meteorológicos históricos (temperatura, precipitação, umidade relativa e pressão atmosférica), de qualidade do ar (concentrações de MP10 e O3) e de saúde respiratória (taxas de incidência de internações por doenças respiratórias - TIIDR), relacionados através de modelos estatísticos de Regressão Linear Múltipla (RLM). Dados meteorológicos de projeções climáticas futuras (2019-2099) de três modelos climáticos (um global e dois regionalizados) em dois cenários de emissão foram aplicados aos modelos de RLM. Os resultados das projeções mostraram um aumento de até 10% nas TIIDR em relação aos níveis atuais para São Caetano do Sul no período de 2070-2099. Em Santo André as projeções indicaram redução de até 26% nas TIIDR. A variável de maior peso nos modelos de RLM de Santo André foi a temperatura (-2,15x) indicando que o aquecimento é inversamente proporcional ao aumento nas TIIDR, enquanto em São Caetano do Sul a pressão atmosférica teve o maior peso (2,44x). Para próximos trabalhos recomenda-se a inclusão de projeções futuras de concentrações de poluentes atmosféricos.

Resumo O mercúrio (Hg) é uma substância tóxica, sendo o consumo de pescados uma das principais fontes de exposição da população. Este artigo visa avaliar a associação entre anemia e exposição ao Hg na população infanto-juvenil de seis comunidades ribeirinhas da Amazônia Brasileira. Realizou-se a análise secundária de dados de estudos seccionais, incluindo 1.318 indivíduos, divididos em dois grupos segundo a influência do garimpo (grupo A sob influência, e grupo B sem influência). Métodos de análise multivariada foram realizados para verificar a associação entre variável de exposição (Hg no cabelo) e anemia, estratificando pelos grupos. Foram observados 348 casos de anemia (27,1%), sendo 206 entre o grupo B e 142 no grupo A. Houve diferença na mediana dos níveis de Hg entre os grupos (A = 12,8µg/g e B = 4,3µg/g, p = 0,01). Foi observada associação entre Hg no cabelo ≥ 6,0µg/g e anemia (OR = 1,38; IC95% = 1,02-1,87), fato que foi magnificado para o grupo A quando realizada estratificação (OR = 2,23; IC95% = 1,28-3,90). O estudo mostrou elevados níveis de Hg, principalmente no grupo A, e que essa substância pode ser um possível fator de risco para anemia. Além disso, as áreas geográficas pareceram modificar esse efeito, apontando para influência de outros fatores, fato que deve ser melhor avaliado.

Abstract The nutrient stress hypothesis predicts that galling insects prevail on host plants growing in habitats with soils of low nutritional quality. Caryocar brasiliense (Caryocaraceae) is host to four different leaf-galling insects. These insects have the potential to cause a reduction in the production of C. brasiliense fruits, an important source of income for many communities in Brazil. We studied the effects of soil physical and chemical characteristics on the abundance, species richness, and diversity of galling insects and their natural enemies on C. brasiliense trees growing under three different soil conditions. Our data corroborate the hypothesis that in nutritionally poor (e.g., lower phosphorus content) and worse physical textures (e.g., sandy) soils, host plants support higher species richness and diversity of galling insects. However, the abundance of Eurytoma sp. (the most common gall in C. brasiliense), was correlated with a higher phosphorus concentration in the soil (better nutritional condition). The percentage of galled leaflets and the area of leaflets occupied by Eurytoma sp galls were higher in the more fertile soil. In this soil, there was greater abundance, species richness, and diversity of parasitoids of Eurytoma sp. (e.g., Sycophila sp.) and predators (e.g., Zelus armillatus). Our data indicate the importance of habitat quality in the composition of the galling insect community and the impact of soil properties in mediating the distribution of these insects in C. brasiliense.

Abstract The excess of salts present in the water can limit the hydroponic cultivation of melon in semi-arid regions of the Brazilian Northeast, making it necessary to use strategies that allow the use of these waters. Among these strategies, the use of elicitor substances stands out, such as salicylic acid. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid in mitigating the harmful effects of salt stress on the morphophysiology and production of 'Gaúcho' melon cultivated in a hydroponic system. A completely randomized design was adopted in a split-plot scheme, with four levels of electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution - ECsn (2.1, 3.2, 4.3, and 5.4 dS m-1) considered the plots and four salicylic acid concentrations - SA (0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mM), the subplots, with six replications. The foliar application of salicylic acid concentrations did not mitigate the deleterious effects of salt stress on the morphophysiology and yield of melon grown in hydroponic system. The concentration of 4.5 mM of salicylic acid intensified the harmful effects of the salinity of the nutrient solution on gas exchange and fresh weight of hydroponic melon.

Abstract Biochemical markers such as protein are very important to determine genetic diversity among plant species in a given population which in turn is very important for breeders and farmers as they can then easily select the most appropriate variety to grow in a given locality. In this connection, the present study is aimed to evaluate genetic diversity in Acacia modesta germplasm through Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) technique. About 40 genotypes were subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis where a total of 12 polypeptide bands were observed in electrophoretogram. Out of which 16.67% were monomorphic while the remaining 83.33% were polymorphic. Variation found in B-2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, were 20, 22.50, 32.50, 10, 2.50, 22.50, 15, 5, 2.50 and 75% respectively. Locus contribution toward genetic disagreement was 83.33%. Cluster analysis sorted all the genotypes into 9 clusters. The genotypes in one cluster were identical regarding protein profiling and showed less intra-specific genetic variation whereas differences were find from other genotypes.

Abstract The biotechnological potential of microalgae has been the target of a range of research aimed at using its potential to produce macromolecules with high added value. Particular focus has been given to biofuels' production, such as biohydrogen, biodiesel, and bioethanol from lipids and carbohydrates extracted from microalgal biomass. Bioprospecting and accurate identification of microalgae from the environment are important in the search for strains with better performance. Methodologies that combine morphology and molecular techniques allow more precise knowledge of species. Thereby, this work aimed to identify the new strain LGMM0013 collected at Iraí Reservoir, located in Paraná state, Brazil, and to evaluate the production of biomass, carbohydrates, and lipids from this new microalgal strain. Based on morphology and phylogenetic tree from internal transcribed spacer (ITS), strain LGMM0013 was identified as Desmodesmus abundans. D. abundans accumulated 1500 mg L-1 of dried biomass after 22 days of cultivation in autotrophic conditions, 50% higher than Tetradesmus obliquus (LGMM0001) (Scenedesmaceae-Chlorophyceae), usually grown in photobioreactors located at NPDEAS at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) to produce biomass. Analysis of the D. abundans biomass from showed an accumulation of 673.39 mg L-1 of carbohydrates, 130% higher than T. obliquus (LGMM0001). Lipid production was 259.7 mg L-1, equivalent to that of T. obliquus. Nitrogen deprivation increased the production of biomass and carbohydrates in D. abundans LGMM0013, indicating this new strain greater biomass production capacity.

Abstract A split-plot experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in two cropping years at Mazandaran Rice Research Institute to study cultivation and irrigation regimes. The main factor is three-level irrigation regimes, permanent irrigation throughout the day (T1), irrigation two days after water disappears from the soil (T2) and permanent soil saturation (T3) the second factor is three-level cultivation methods., Plowless cultivation (W1), stack 60 cm (W2), and stack 80 cm (W3). Based on the results obtained from the combined analysis, the effect of the year was significant in terms of rainfall, productivity 2, number of tillers, number of empty grains, 1000-grain weight, percentage of the crushed grain, and white rice yield. The effect of the main factor was significant for all traits except productivity 1 and plant height. Based on the results of comparing the mean effect of year × treatment, four treatments, without plowing with permanent irrigation throughout the day in the first and second year of the experiment, cultivation without plowing with irrigation two days after water disappears from the soil in the second year of experiment and cultivation without Plowing with permanent saturated irrigation in the first and second years of the experiment was identified in terms of grain yield as suitable planting methods with appropriate irrigation regimes. Based on the results obtained from the polygon view in different years of the experiment, T3W1, T3W2, and T1W1 treatments can be suggested as desirable treatments in terms of irrigation regimes and cultivation methods in this rice cultivar. According to the ranking diagram of treatments based on traits in the years of experimentation, T1W1, T2W2 and T1W3 were introduced as the most desirable treatments for cultivating this rice cultivar.

ABSTRACT To verify if strategies to reduce the height of Marandu grass pasture at beginning of the deferral period change intake and metabolic parameters in sheep during the dry season, 18 crossbred females, ½ Dorper + ½ Santa Inês were used, distributed in 9 Marandu grass paddock handles to 3 drawdown strategies at the beginning of deferral period: 1) maintenance of grass with 15cm for 5 months before deferral start (15/15cm); 2) maintenance of marandu grass with 25 cm for 5 months, but at the beginning of deferral it was reduced to 15cm (25/15cm); 3) maintenance of 35 cm grass for 5 months, but at the beginning of deferral it was reduced to 15cm (35/15cm). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD), with 6 repetitions and repeated measures over time. Strategies to reduce the height of Marandu grass pasture, at the beginning of the deferral period, do not change nutrient intake and energy and protein metabolism. However, changes occurring in the pasture during the dry season alter these variables, and deferral is an interesting strategy to be used for forage production in winter, however, to optimize its use, it is necessary to use supplementation with concentrated rich in fermentable carbohydrates.
The intonation of Portuguese spoken in Maputo, Mozambique: A case study
Authors: Serra Carolina , Oliveira Ingrid
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT This case study of Portuguese as spoken in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, describes the intonation of neutral declarative SVO sentences and neutral yes-no questions using the theory and methodological tools of Prosodic Phonology and Autosegmental-Metrical Intonational Phonology. In neutral declaratives, 1) prosodic phrasing of Subject and Predicate into independent (S)(VO) intonational phrases (IPs) predominated; 2) LH+L* L% and H+L* L% nuclear contours predominated in final IPs, while contours with high H% boundary were most frequent in medial IPs; 3) phrase accents frequently occurred between S and V, between V and O and even within S, separating the nucleus from its complements; and 4) an additional tone was possible in association with the pre-stressed syllables of long (5-syllable), mostly IP-initial, prosodic words. In neutral questions, the nucleus most often featured a rising-falling L+(<¡)H* L% movement. High tonal density was also found, with pitch accents associated with stressed syllables of all PWs in both declaratives and yes-no questions.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT The effect of climatic conditions on the structure of populations has been perceived for different orders of insects and families of beetles. Here we described the population dynamics of Euspilotus azureus (Sahlberg, 1823) and determined its relationship with climatic variables. The specimens were collected monthly for one year in an area of Seasonal Semideciduous Forest, in Viçosa, Brazil. The seasonality of the population and of sexes was estimated through the absolute frequency of occurrence (AF) and the percentage frequency of occurrence (FO%) of the population and each sex, which were determined monthly. To test whether the changes in monthly AF of the population and of each sex are correlated with climatic variables, Spearman correlation tests were performed. To identify whether there are temporal fluctuations in the sex ratio, considering months and seasons, and within each season, we performed Chi-square tests. A total of 3,126 individuals (1,009 females and 2,117 males) were collected. The population had the highest abundance in spring and summer, and the lowest in autumn and winter. The highest AF and FO were found in December and January, and the lowest in June and July. The sex ratio of the population did not differ in the months of the year, but in the spring there was a marked predominance of males. For E. azureus, the temporal fluctuation in abundance of the population and in the sex ratio is related to the climatic variables of maximum temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Climatic variables, especially the temperature, provided a greater abundance of the population in the hottest and rainiest periods of the year for inducing reproductive activity and altering the population’s sex ratio.

ABSTRACT: Oral diseases are limiting to health, welfare, and conservation practices, especially in the case of endangered animals. In this retrospective study, a survey on oral health-related conditions noted in the clinical records for 261 deer comprised in an ex situ population of the Marsh Deer Conservation Center (CCCP) over 30 years (1990-2020) was carried out. Of these, 49 (18.77%) marsh deer (31 females - 63.27% and 18 males - 36.73%) had clinical oral affections; the affected deer’s mean age was 8.9 years. Logistic regression analysis was performed, and the variable age was significantly associated with the presence of dental affections. Thus, with a change in the age category, a deer had eight times the chance of manifesting oral affections; therefore, age can be considered a risk factor for the manifestation of oral affections in the species. Increased facial volume (65.3%), accumulation of food in the mouth (36.7%), tooth loss (22.4%), fistulas (22.4%), mucosal or palatal lesions (22.4%), tooth wear (20.4%), and tooth root exposure (18.3%) were the most frequently recorded lesions. The relatively high occurrence of oral affections in Blastocerus dichotomus reiterates the importance of oral health care when deer are kept in human care.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Insects attracted to cadavers can be used to estimate postmortem interval (PMI). In this study, inmature stages and adults of Dermestes maculatus and Chrysomya albiceps were collected in association with a human cadaver in a closed aquatic environment in Caquetá, Colombia, and analyzed to determine the PMI. We also conducted an experiment with a pig carcass to estimate the emersion time, which began three days after carcass submersion. The minimum PMI was 481.5 hours. Time of death, time of emersion and period of insect activity matched the actions of the murder suspects, who confessed to murdering the victim 25 days prior to the discovery of the body.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia is the only turtle of the family Geoemydidae with part of its range in Brazil. The species is semi-aquatic and widely distributed across the Amazon basin but is still poorly studied. We evaluated aspects of the population structure, habitat use, seasonal activity, and diet of the species during one year, from the beginning of the rainy season to the end of the dry season, in two headwater localities in the Tocantins and Tapajós river basins, in the state of Pará, Brazil. We captured 45 individuals, 14 in the Tocantins basin and 31 in the Tapajós basin. The size-class frequency distributions of captured individuals did not differ between the two samples. The turtles were most frequently captured in first-order streams, followed by lentic (third-order dammed streams) and second-order streams. The capture rate did not vary significantly between sampling periods (start and peak of the rainy season; start and end of the dry season). The trapping effort to capture a single individual was much higher in the Tapajós basin (1,215 trap-hours) than in the Tocantins basin (136 trap-hours). Overall, the low capture rates confirm the secretive nature of the species in Amazonia and its apparent rarity. The individuals analyzed in this study consumed mainly plants.
Revisión de la Literatura sobre el Tema de la Influencia del Género en la Identificación y Desarrollo de Alumnas Talentosas

Published: December 2022

RESUMEN: La influencia del género en la identificación y desarrollo de alumnas talentosas ha sido un tema medianamente estudiado por la comunidad científica. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una revisión sistemática de literatura en Scopus, Web of Science y ProQuest entre 2010-2020. El estudio comprendió dos partes. La primera llevó a identificar el estado del arte circunscrito a 148 artículos científicos, de los cuales se seleccionaron cinco para un estudio más detallado. La segunda buscó responder preguntas sobre tendencias actuales. Los hallazgos permiten afrmar que las tendencias se orientan hacia la formación de infantes talentosos en educación primaria y secundaria. De igual manera, la condición de raza representa una limitante en el desarrollo académico de mujeres talentosas. Por otro lado, se encontró que los estereotipos de género continúan siendo la base del trato de padres y profesores hacia mujeres talentosas. Al respecto, la disparidad de género en la universidad se presentó como una situación recurrente en las investigaciones analizadas. En este sentido, persiste entre los padres de jóvenes talentosos la idea de considerar a las Matemáticas y las Ciencias Naturales disciplinas principalmente masculinas. Esta situación condiciona la autopercepción académica de mujeres talentosas. De igual forma, se encuentran artículos que hacen referencia a la experiencia de aprendizaje desde un enfoque cognitivo. Por último, se detectó una dimisión en la producción científica en el tema de niños y jóvenes talentosos en los últimos años.

Authors: COELHO Vera , CADIMA Joana , GRANDE Catarina
Published: December 2022

RESUMO: Este estudo correlacional pretende caracterizar os contextos pré-escolares inclusivos portugueses relativamente aos formatos de atividade, analisar relações entre eles e a qualidade do tom emocional e estimulação cognitiva e da linguagem do educador, e as relações entre formatos de atividade e envolvimento de crianças com incapacidades, em risco e com desenvolvimento típico. Participaram do estudo 198 crianças (47 com incapacidades; 60 em risco; 91 com desenvolvimento típico). O envolvimento das crianças e os formatos de atividade foram observados com o Child Observation in Preschool; tom emocional e estimulação cognitiva com o Teacher Observation in Preschool. Os resultados revelaram que o tom emocional dos educadores nas interações registou valores moderados, sendo mais elevados nas atividades de grande-grupo. O grande-grupo registou níveis de envolvimento mais baixos para todas as crianças. Os três grupos de crianças registam níveis semelhantes de envolvimento em jogo-livre. Concluise que, apesar dos formatos de grande-grupo apresentarem qualidade mais elevada no tom das interações, é nestes que crianças com e sem incapacidades apresentam níveis mais baixos de envolvimento, destacando-se o jogo-livre como um formato onde todas as crianças se envolvem mais. Os resultados salientam a importância da intencionalidade educativa no planeamento das interações e dos formatos das atividades, para assegurar a promoção do envolvimento das crianças.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as prevalências de acidentes de trabalho, segundo variáveis sociodemográficas e ocupacionais, em 2013 e 2019. Métodos: Estudo transversal utilizando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) 2013 e 2019. Avaliou-se os acidentes de trabalho típico (AT), de descolamento (AD) e de trabalho totais (ATT). As prevalências e os intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) de ATT em 2013 e 2019 foram estimadas segundo as variáveis explicativas, unidades da Federação e capitais. Em 2019, foram calculadas as prevalências e IC95% segundo variáveis explicativas e razões de prevalência (RP) bruta e ajustada por sexo e faixa etária. Resultados: A prevalência de ATT passou de 4,96% (IC95% 4,55–5,38) em 2013 para 4,13% (IC95% 3,80–4,46) em 2019. Em 2013, o Pará liderou em prevalência de ATT e, em 2019, a maior prevalência foi em Mato Grosso. As prevalências de AT e AD em 2019 foram, respectivamente, 2,64% (IC95% 2,37–2,91) e 1,60% (IC95% 1,40–1,80). Em 2019, as prevalências para ATT foram mais elevadas para homens (RP: 1,92; IC95% 1,62–2,27); faixa etária de 18 a 29 anos (RP: 2,71; IC95% 1,99–3,68); pessoas com ensino fundamental completo/médio incompleto (RP: 2,09; IC95% 1,57–2,78); e pessoas de cor preta (RP: 1,43; IC95% 1,12–1, 84), e menor em pessoas sem carteira de trabalho (RP: 0,77; IC95% 0,66–0,90). AT foi maior na zona rural (RP: 1,32; IC95% 1,09–1,60). Conclusão: Houve redução dos ATT entre 2013 e 2019. Homens, jovens, pretos e indivíduos com menor escolaridade, trabalhadores da zona rural, apresentaram maiores prevalências de AT em 2019, demonstrando uma relação dos processos saúde-doença-acidente.

Abstract Few studies have addressed the composition of fish assemblages of the freshwater Río de la Plata (RdlP) and have only been limited to species lists gathered over the last two centuries. As such inventories have never been reviewed or validated by fish sampling, the richness and structure of RdlP fish assemblage are poorly known. Hence, we conducted an exhaustive literature review and a fieldwork in six coastal points of Argentina to update the species composition and determine the hierarchical structure of the fish assemblage. From the 206 species registered in the literature, 48 were not confirmed, 13 were absent, five were taken as synonymized species, 29 were supported by literature and 107 were confirmed; one was an established exotic species, and three were a non-established exotic species. The findings reported here suggest that the fish assemblage currently comprises 141 species, including four new records. Analysis of fieldwork data in number and weight of fish captured resulted in an assemblage hierarchical structure of five dominant, 22 frequent, and 45 rare species; 16 dominant, 11 frequent, and 45 rare taxa, respectively. These results could be used as baseline to monitor, manage, and preserve neotropical fish species in their southern distribution boundary.

Published: December 2022

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate motivational regulation strategies and motivation to learn of High School students, as well as to examine the intercorrelations between these two variables and their relationships with sociodemographic variables. The sample of the study was composed of 233 students from two public schools, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and two Likert scales. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics procedures. Results revealed that students seem to use motivational regulation strategies and generally feel motivated to learn. Female students reported using significantly more strategies to stay motivated than did males. Positive and significant correlations were found within the factors of the motivational regulation strategies scale and between the two scales. It is expected that the present study stimulates further research and contributes to the design of interventions to strengthen students´ motivation to learn.

Published: December 2022

Abstract As part of an investigation into the psychometric qualities of the Children’s Figural Creativity Test (TCFI) for adolescents and adults, the research examined factor analysis, precision, and influence of gender and educational level variables. The sample consisted of 309 individuals (M = 33.35 years; SD = 22.04), 166 females and three levels of education, who filled out the aforementioned instrument. During the exploratory factor analysis, four factors were identified: the elaboration factor (F1), the external aspects factor (F2), cognitive aspects factor (F3), and emotional aspects factor (F4). Precision of the instrument was ω = 0.776. We found differences in F1 and total score favoring females, in all factors and in total creativity, favoring the group with the highest education. Prior to using the instrument with individuals older than those considered in the children’s version of the test, studies investigating other psychometric characteristics are advised.
Apresentación - educación rural en perspectiva comparada: políticas de escolarización, experiencias de formación y trabajo docente (Brasil y México, siglo xx)

Published: December 2022

RESUMEN Este texto presenta los principales aspectos de los trabajos de investigación que componen el dossier “La educación rural en perspectiva comparada: políticas de escolarización, experiencias de formación y trabajo docente (Brasil y México, siglo XX)”. En este sentido, lo que presentamos son los resultados de investigaciones en torno al proyecto desarrollado en red “Formación y Trabajo de Profesores y Maestras Rurales en Brasil: RS, PR, SP, MG, RJ, MS, MT, MA, PE, PI, SE, PB, RO (décadas de los 40 a los 70 del siglo XX)”, así como trabajos desarrollados en esta misma perspectiva, en México. La elección de los dos países está asociada a su papel como centros de experimentación de nuevas políticas e iniciativas destinadas a ampliar el acceso a la educación formal en el subcontinente latinoamericano a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. El resultado revela las inconsistencias de la escolarización rural, que en cierta medida estuvo guiada por acuerdos internacionales comandados por Estados Unidos, así como también fue un resultado de experiencias singulares y locales.
La construcción de sentidos en torno de la escuela primaria en localidades rurales de cerro de san pedro, méxico (1926-1964)
Authors: Esquivel René Medina
Published: December 2022

RESUMEN En este artículo analizo la construcción de sentidos en torno de la escuela primaria en nueve escuelas rurales de Cerro de San Pedro, municipio ubicado en el estado de San Luis Potosí (SLP), México. El trabajo tiene el propósito de analizar cómo las escuelas rurales disputaron con las comunidades locales la construcción de los sentidos de la educación en el marco del proyecto educativo posrevolucionario. Las escuelas de Cerro de San Pedro ofrecen un espacio idóneo para identificar variadas disposiciones y respuestas locales frente al proyecto posrevolucionario de escuelas rurales. Para la realización de esta investigación he recurrido al Archivo Histórico de la Secretaría de Educación Pública, fondo Escuelas Rurales de San Luis Potosí (AHSEP, ERSLP). Además, he recogido testimonios orales de maestros y estudiantes de estas escuelas, así como diversos archivos locales, cartas y fotografías. El trabajo de estas escuelas requirió el despliegue de estrategias de negociación con las comunidades para la construcción de los sentidos de la educación y para lograr la paulatina apropiación de la escuela primaria.

Authors: ASSIS Michelle Hoff de , ALVES Bruna Cherubini , LUFT Vivian Cristine , DALL’ALBA Valesca
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Background: The intake of dietary supplements and medicinal plants is very popular worldwide. However, these products are not innocuous, and their intake can cause severe damage to health, especially liver injury. Objective: This study aims to describe the clinical cases of dietary supplements-induced liver injury (DSILI) and herb-induced liver injury (HILI), identifying the main products involved and the clinical outcomes related to them. Method: A literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and LILACS databases, using the search terms: “Chemical and Drug-Induced Liver Injury”, “Dietary Supplements” and “Herbal” and their synonyms. Results: 189 articles were included in the study, totaling 428 clinical cases of drug-induced liver injury. The most frequent agents of liver injury were Herbalife® products, associated with 50 cases, Polygonum multiflorum, with 25 cases, Hydroxycut® products, and green tea, both associated in 19 cases, and Oxyelite Pro® and kava tea, both associated with 16 cases. Most individuals required hospitalization (82.6%) and an important number of cases evolved to death (3.6%), liver transplantation (8.9%), or chronic liver disease (1.9%). Conclusion: The indiscriminate use of dietary supplements and herbal products was associated with an alarming number of cases of liver injury. The mechanisms through which each of the products causes liver damage still need to be better understood, but this review is a warning about the risk associated with the use of products considered harmless by a large part of the population.

Authors: Leite Carlos Henrique Pereira , Moita Neto José Machado , Bezerra Ana Keuly Luz
Published: December 2022

RESUMO O presente estudo teve como finalidade apresentar e discutir as principais alterações trazidas pelo novo marco legal para a execução das políticas públicas de saneamento básico (Lei n° 14.026/2020), especialmente em relação a titularidade, contratos, concessões, universalização, sustentabilidade econômico-financeira, vetos, resíduos sólidos, entre outras. Além do caráter de análise normativa, buscou-se verificar a interligação entre o marco legal do saneamento básico e as demais políticas públicas de desenvolvimento urbano presentes na Constituição Federal, bem como a perspectiva de cumprimento das metas expostas pela nova lei. Infere-se, ao termo, que o cumprimento das metas estipuladas para tornar universal o direito ao saneamento básico, além da regulação criteriosa a ser realizada pelos entes responsáveis, necessita da avaliação periódica da efetividade dos instrumentos legais trazidos pelo novo marco legal.
