Authors: Meilanda Angga Yuda , Sugiyo Sugiyo , Sunawan Sunawan
Published: February 2022

Career adaptability is an individual’s readiness which develops over time from the age of children, adolescents, to adults and functions to overcome predictable tasks and participate directly in the work environment and roles. Low adaptability of careers can cause individuals to have difficulty in preparing for their future careers. This study aimed to determine whether career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) group counseling effectively improves students’ career adaptability. It was an experimental study that used a randomized pretest-posttest control group design by selecting 18 of 360 students as the subjects of this study and dividing them into 2 groups, namely experimental and control groups. In analyzing the data, this study used Mixed MANOVA. Findings confirmed that career decision self-efficacy group counseling was effective in improving students’ career adaptability (F (1.16) = 1401.74, p < 0.01. This effectiveness could also be seen in the effect of time (F (2,32) = 462.18, p < 0.01), and the effect of the interaction between time and group (F (2,32) = 443.38, p < 0.01). Finally, the current study confirms that to improve students’ career adaptability, counselors or guidance and counseling teachers can apply CDSE to group counseling services.

Published: February 2022

Cheating behavior grows from a tolerant attitude towards cheating and low self-efficacy. This research was conducted to test the effectiveness of group counseling with congnitive restructuring techniques to reduce students' attitudes towards cheating and increase the self-efficacy of students at SMA Muhammadiyah 5 Yogyakarta. The experimental method used was randomized pretest-posttest comparison group design, involving 14 students as research subjects who were selected purposively from a total of 123 students in class XI. There are two instruments used, namely Attitude Toward Cheating (ATC) for the attitude scale towards cheating and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) for the self-efficacy scale. The results of this study indicate that cognitive restructuring techniques to reduce attitudes towards cheating and increase student self-efficacy seen from the effectiveness level of cognitive restructuring techniques show that the results are significant. This study confirms the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring techniques to reduce the tendency to cheat by reducing cheating attitudes and increasing self-efficacy.

Potencialidad de uso de aguas servidas para riego y recarga de acuíferos: cuenca del río La Villa, República de Panamá
Authors: Opolenko Valentina
Published: February 2022

Ante la demanda creciente de los recursos hídricos en Panamá, las aguas residuales pueden constituir una opción fiable como fuente de abastecimiento para distintos usos, especialmente en situaciones de escasez. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la sostenibilidad y viabilidad de riego y técnicas de recarga artificial de acuíferos en la parte baja de la cuenca del río La Villa mediante el aprovechamiento de aguas residuales tratadas procedentes de la PTAR de Chitré, para su posterior recuperación por procesos naturales y uso como fuente alternativa de agua. La metodología que se aplicó tuvo sus fundamentos en un análisis multidisciplinario a través de un diagnóstico biofísico y socioeconómico. Se evaluó la posibilidad de implementación de soluciones tecnológicas como la reutilización directa con fines de riego de aguas depuradas en humedales y recarga superficial de acuíferos de manera indirecta por infiltración de excedentes de riego. Los resultados de los estudios técnicos permitieron establecer el nivel de remoción en humedales de contaminantes del agua postratada con la ayuda del sustrato y vegetación seleccionada. Además, se logró con la realización de los estudios geológicos e hidrogeológicos generar un bloque modelo inédito de la disposición espacial de capas litológicas y estimar sus volúmenes, definiendo así la zona acuífera capaz de recibir por infiltración el agua de recarga, almacenarla y, posteriormente, entregarla para hacer buen uso de ella.

Authors: Lizano-Araya Melvin , Lizano-Rodríguez Omar Gerardo
Published: February 2022

Se analiza el aumento del nivel del mar tomando como base el nivel promedio de mareas altas para la región Caribe de Costa Rica. Este estudio se realizó a partir de modelos conceptuales, observaciones y mediciones efectuadas en campo, que presentan un nivel del mar y su respectivo ascenso para cuatro escenarios de acuerdo con los siguientes años: 2030, 2050, 2070 y 2100. Se elaboran escenarios para simular el comportamiento del nivel del mar relativo en los próximos 100 años para las localidades de Cahuita y Moín en la provincia de Limón. Se estudian los niveles de mareas astronómicas a partir de predicciones mareales. El aumento del nivel del mar en los próximos años por calentamiento global es, según los escenarios de la CEPAL (2012, p. 24), 3 mm por año para la costa del Caribe en general y se utiliza como base para crear las distintas combinaciones y generar los niveles mareográficos representados en este artículo. Los resultados muestran los niveles de inundación para cada uno de los años en las localidades de Moín y Cahuita e indica que ambas localidades podrían ser inundadas para el año 2100.

Published: February 2022

In Costa Rica, the social housing (VIS) projects developed in the last decade have been located in areas far from urban centers of limited access to facilities and infrastructure due to the prohibitive cost of land ownership in most central sectors of metropolitan cities. The conditions and characteristics of these contexts, available land uses (zoning), morphological configurations, continuity and contiguity between social housing projects and the urban pieces where they are inserted, are analyzed in this research through the study of five residential complexes developed in the Greater Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica. The projects, built between 2011 and 2018, were analyzed from the study of construction plans, cartography of the area, documentary review and analysis of secondary data. From the obtained results it is possible to identify the main difficulties arising from the morphological and typological fit that followed after the establishment of the residential complexes, as well as the contextual problems derived from the location of the projects.

Published: February 2022

La teca es una de las especies comerciales plantadas en el trópico con mayor valor en el mundo. La cooperativa internacional de mejoramiento genético GENFORES, establecida en Costa Rica, ha liderado el mejoramiento genético de la especie en América Latina. El estudio se realizó con el objetivo de seleccionar los clones con mayor adaptabilidad específica al Pacífico seco de Costa Rica y de otras regiones tropicales secas. La investigación se desarrolló en Nicoya, Guanacaste (Pacífico norte de Costa Rica), donde se evaluaron 31 genotipos durante 13 años continuos (2006-2019), con base en el crecimiento en diámetro, volumen comercial y la calidad del fuste. Mediante el software Selegen-REML/BLUP se obtuvieron los parámetros genéticos, el ranking de selección y la ganancia genética estimada. A los 8,9 años fue la edad más temprana donde se registraron los valores más altos de heredabilidad individual y de heredabilidad media clonal para el diámetro (h2g = 0,12 y h2mc = 0,82) y para el volumen comercial (h2g = 0,075 y h2mc = 0,74).  Plantaciones comerciales establecidas con los mejores 10 clones, a los 12,9 años de edad podrían alcanzar un volumen comercial de 0,88 m3árbol-1, que corresponde a una ganancia genética de un 11% con respecto a la mejor semilla comercial disponible del huerto semillero. El diámetro alcanzaría 28 cm a esta misma edad. Tales resultados permitirán reducir cerca de 2 años la edad de cosecha de plantaciones de teca en el Pacífico seco del país.

Salt-template hydrothermal carbonization for Pd NP-loaded porous carbonaceous material
Authors: Li Jiaming , Li Xiaoyun , Han Guocheng , Liu Chuanfu , Wang Xiaoying
Published: February 2022

Inorganic salt is a promising stabilizer in the hydrothermal synthesis of porous carbon materials. A three-dimensional palladium-loaded (Pd-loaded) lignin carbonaceous material with a porous structure was developed via hydrothermal carbonization, with lignin as not only a carbon source but also a reducing and stabilizing agent for palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) and then with LiCl as the hard template and porogen. The porogen-induced Pd-loaded carbonaceous material displayed an orderly pore structure with more porosity than the porogen-free Pd-loaded carbonaceous material. Subsequently, the porogen-induced Pd-loaded carbonaceous materials were transferred to an aqueous phase filter and mixed with reactants in a syringe as catalysts. The catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performances in the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by NaBH4, with a rate constant of 0.11 min-1, which was higher than that of the porogen-free Pd-loaded carbonaceous material. In this study, LiCl was employed as the hard template and porogen to construct the porous carbonaceous structure and improve the porosity by stabilizing the pore structure and minimizing collapse, which provided a new way to synthesize lignin porous carbonaceous material.

The Buddha and the Diversity of Spiritual Paths
Authors: Bodhi Bhikkhu
Published: February 2022

This chapter contends that the historical Buddha is best understood as advocating an exclusivist view of other religions. Contrary to common belief, the Buddha, as represented by the Pali Nikāyas and their parallels, did not subscribe to the view that the ultimate goal of the spiritual life could be attained through diverse spiritual paths but rather that the ultimate goal is accessible solely through the noble eightfold path, the distinctive discovery of the sammā-sambuddhas, those who attain perfect enlightenment. Nevertheless, through the centuries Buddhism has displayed an impressive tolerance in its relationship to other faiths. The chapter explains this apparently paradoxical attitude on the basis of a dual perspective that the Buddha adopts on the diversity of spiritual paths. On the one hand, he asserts that the eightfold path is the sole means to the final goal of the spiritual life, irreversible release from the cycle of repeated birth and death. At the same time the cosmology of Early Buddhism allows a more accommodative stance according to which the provisional goal of the spiritual life, the achievement of a blissful rebirth, is not exclusive to the Buddha’s teaching but can be reached through other faith commitments.
Suffering and Its Relief: A Buddhist Approach to Religious Pluralism
Authors: Ives Christopher
Published: February 2022

A fruitful Buddhist approach to religious pluralism is to step away from viewing the plurality of religious traditions as different ways of getting at the Real or śūnyatā (à la John Hick and Masao Abe) and construe the plurality of religious traditions as different responses to core human problems, including what Buddhism designates as “suffering.” Along these lines, the Four Noble Truths can provide a template for encountering (and perhaps analyzing and categorizing) various religious traditions—for theorizing religious pluralism. At the practical level, with this approach Buddhists can build on dialogue with adherents of other traditions and engage in collaborative action with them in response to problems like violence and the climate crisis.

Komparasi Perang Profil Tiga Kandidat Presiden Pada Pemilu 2009 (Analisis Wacana Pada Harian Kompas)
Authors: Huda Sholihul , Nurdin Ali
Published: February 2022

Pemilihan presiden (pemilu) pada tahun 2009 oleh harian Kompas dijadikan lahan dalam memperkaya citra dalam pemberitaan, Kompas mampu menghadirkan profil kandidat presiden sebagai sarana menyebarkan ideologinya. Penelitian ini membahas tentang peran Kompas dalam meramaikan demokratisasi di Indonesia. Kompas ternyata bukan sekedar memberitakan (merepresentasikan) peristiwa dan para elit politik dalam pemilihan presiden saja. Ada kecenderungan Kompas melakukan konstruksi realitas atas peristiwa dan kandidat presiden yang terlibat dalam sebuah pemilihan presiden. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis wacana model Teun A. Van Dijk. Penelitian ini mencoba untuk mengungkap makna dibalik tabir teks yang dikonstruksi oleh Harian Kompas. Kandidat presiden yang akan bertarung pada pemilihan presiden pada tanggal 8 Juli 2009 adalah Megawati Soekarnoputri, Susilo Bambang Yodhoyono, dan Moh. Jusuf Kalla. Dari hasil deskripsi, diketahui banyak temuan yang menyatakan bahwa, keberpihakan Kompas dalam memberitakan profil SBY sangat kelihatan. Tulisan mengarah kepada penjatuhan citra kandidat presiden Megawati, melalui track record yang negatif. Begitu pula dengan kandidat presiden JK yang mempunyai julukan the real president, tidak mampu mengalahkan kehebatan SBY. Wartawan tidak sedikitpun membandingkan kepintaran JK dalam memimpin dengan kandidat SBY.
Satire Politik Lagu Gayus "Andai Ku Gayus Tambunan"
Authors: Rahmiati Dyan
Published: February 2022

Lagu mampu menyampaikan sebuah pesan sosial secara menarik, dengan kemasan menghibur dan mampu diterima secara lebih general membuat lagu mampu bergerak dalam proses pemberian pesan penyadaran sosial. Kekuatan ini semakin lengkap ketika isu-isu sensitif terutama yang berkaitan dengan kekuasaan dikemas dalam bentuk satir. Kehadiran sosok Gayus Tambunan menjadi fenomena menarik, karena keberadaannya menjadi trigger atas masalah sosial dan politik di negara ini. Korupsi, sebuah kondisi sosial yang ternyata hingga kini belum hilang walaupun pemerintah mencanangkan untuk memberantas perilaku negatif. Dengan diangkatnya wacana ini ke permukaan, menjadi sebuah bukti akan pertanyaan besar korupsi masih menjadi mitos negeri ini. Semakin marak ketika ketidakadilan akan perlakuan hukum bagi kelompok marginal. Pesan satir politik melalui lagu mampu memberi teguran sarat kritik dengan sisipan kemasan humor lebih mengena. Menurut Freud, tampilan jenaka dimaksudkan untuk mengungkapkan tekanann terhadap musuh, mengajak orang lain untuk mentertawakan musuh kita. ‘‘By belittling and humbling our enemy, by scorning and ridiculing him, we indirectly obtain the pleasure of his defeat by the laughter of the third person, the inactive spectator.”Objek satir dalam lagu ini bukan hanya Gayus Tambunan sebagai pribadi namun lebih pada siapa saja yang diwakili olehnya, instansi, kejaksaan, pemerintah bahkan siapa pun yang mandapatkan keuntungan atas ketidakadilan sistem politik dan hukum di negeri ini

“Stable” vs. “silent progressive multiple sclerosis”: a real-world retrospective clinical imaging Brazilian study
Authors: FIGUEIRA Gustavo Medeiros Andrade , SOARES Paula Vallegas , SILVEIRA Raquel Custodio da , FIGUEIRA Fernando Faria Andrade
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT Background: Clinical and imaging are required to characterize activity and progression in MS. The parameters for activity are well defined but not those for progression. The ideal aim for long-term treatment is that neither clinical nor imaging signs of disease should be present, and also no brain atrophy. Objectives: To conduct a comparative clinical-imaging study focusing on MRI brain volumetry. Methods: 174 consecutive relapsing-remitting MS patients (McDonald 2001) were studied, focusing on activity and progression. Annual clinical evaluations (relapse rate and EDSS) and MRI data, along with the annualized evolution of the corpus callosum index (CCI), were compared. Results: Out of 174 patients, 148 were considered clinically “stable” based on EDSS. However, 33 (22.2%) out of this group showed annualized reductions in CCI of more than 0.5%, which was the cutoff for defining significant brain atrophy. Conclusions: Among apparently “stable” relapsing-remitting MS patients, 1/5 showed significant brain atrophy over a follow-up period of at least 7 years. We consider it reasonable to suggest that MRI volume sequences should be included in follow-up protocols, so as to provide information on the real treatment response status.

Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT Background: Transcranial Doppler has been tested in the evaluation of cerebral hemodynamics as a non-invasive assessment of intracranial pressure (ICP), but there is controversy in the literature about its actual benefit and usefulness in this situation. Objective: To investigate cerebral blood flow assessed by Doppler technique and correlate with the variations of the ICP in the acute phase of intracranial hypertension in an animal model. Methods: An experimental animal model of intracranial hypertension was used. The experiment consisted of two groups of animals in which intracranial balloons were implanted and inflated with 4 mL (A) and 7 mL (B) for controlled simulation of different volumes of hematoma. The values of ICP and Doppler parameters (systolic [FVs], diastolic [FVd], and mean [FVm] cerebral blood flow velocities and pulsatility index [PI]) were collected during the entire procedure (before and during hematoma simulations and venous hypertonic saline infusion intervention). Comparisons between Doppler parameters and ICP monitoring were performed. Results: Twenty pigs were studied, 10 in group A and 10 in group B. A significant correlation between PI and ICP was obtained, especially shortly after abrupt elevation of ICP. There was no correlation between ICP and FVs, FVd or FVm separately. There was also no significant change in ICP after intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline solution. Conclusions: These results demonstrate the potential of PI as a parameter for the evaluation of patients with suspected ICP elevation.
Associations between family environment resources and mental health problems in children
Authors: Dilleggi Eduarda Souza , Santos Patricia Leila dos , Scorsolini-Comin Fabio
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: The relationship between mental health and contextual factors has been increasingly investigated in the scientific literature to identify elements that may configure themselves as protective. The present study aimed to identify what resources (activities, family outings, toys, material elements, and learning) were offered in the daily lives of children with mental disorders, and from this, verify whether the offer of such resources in the family was associated with areas of greatest damage relative to mental health problems. Methods: Thirty-three caregivers of/people responsible for children between 6 and 12 years of age with most frequent diagnoses in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder seen at a general hospital participated. We used the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ – parents version) and Family Environment Resources Inventory (RAF). Results: From a descriptive and correlational analysis, it was revealed that the more the mental health problems were present in children, the lower the family resources offer. Conclusions: The environmental resources offer proved to be protective for child development. Such findings are relevant to aid in outlining strategies for promoting mental health among children.

Authors: Leite Amanda Gabrielle Santos , Oliveira Liz Freitas de Sá , Fortes Ricardo Coutinho , Lyra Isa Menezes
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the prevalence of clinical manifestations suggestive of depression in patients with sickle cell disease. Methods: A systematic search was performed in the electronic databases PubMed®, LILACS and SciELO, with the following inclusion criteria: cross-sectional studies that assessed the prevalence of depression in patients with sickle cell disease, published in English or Portuguese in the last 10 years. The selection of the articles was performed in two stages by two independent researchers following the PRISMA (Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses) recommendations. The first stage consisted on screening the titles and abstracts, and in the second stage the full text was appraised, both following the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: From the 42 articles available, nine were included in this review. Seven instruments were used to screen for depression with different cutoff points, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was the most used instrument. The worldwide prevalence of clinical manifestations suggestive of depression ranged from 11 to 40%, according to several variables. Conclusion: The prevalence of clinical manifestations suggestive of depression in patients with sickle cell disease is higher compared to the prevalence of depression in the general population. Thus, the multidisciplinary follow-up for these people, with a focus on mental health, is of great importance.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o consumo de álcool entre os professores da rede pública estadual do ensino básico antes e durante a pandemia da COVID-19 e os fatores associados aos que aumentaram o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas durante a pandemia. Métodos: Inquérito epidemiológico do tipo websurvey , realizado com professores da educação básica das escolas da rede pública estadual de Minas Gerais. A coleta ocorreu de agosto a setembro/2020 via formulário digital e contou com o apoio da Secretaria de Estado de Educação. A variável dependente adotada foi o aumento no consumo de bebidas alcoólicas pelos professores durante a pandemia. Foi utilizada a regressão de Poisson, adotando nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 15.641 professores de 795 municípios mineiros. Em relação ao consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, antes da pandemia, 46,9% dos professores consumiam pelo menos uma vez por semana e durante a pandemia 7,1% relataram que estavam bebendo mais do que costumavam. Observou-se maior consumo de bebida alcoólica durante a pandemia entre os homens, com menor faixa etária, com maior renda familiar, os que tiveram muita dificuldade em realizar as atividades escolares, os insatisfeitos com o trabalho, os que começaram a ter problemas de sono e naqueles com algum familiar/amigo que desenvolveu sintomas graves da COVID-19. Conclusões: Os resultados evidenciaram que a maioria dos participantes manteve o seu consumo ou o diminuiu durante a pandemia, com 7,1% aumentando o uso de álcool. Esse aumento foi associado a fatores sociodemográficos e econômicos, condições de trabalho durante a pandemia, comportamentos/hábitos de vida e condições de saúde.

Resumo: Interessa ao pesquisador como o corpo poético negro e travesti da artista Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro se contrapõe à História e ao Sistema da Arte hegemônicos, ao mesmo tempo que contribui para uma revisão de suas práticas discursivas de inclusão e exclusão, por meio de sua poiesis, sua fabulação poética, na qual a um só tempo se visita e se reinventa uma ancestralidade afroindígena, atinente às origens e religiosidade da artista. A aparição e a visão do corpo preto e dissidente de Castiel apontam para uma desestabilização do que Hubert Damisch nomeará “o teatro da representação”. Teoricamente, este texto recorre a um campo caracterizado pela interdisciplinaridade, no intuito de responder à complexidade de seu objeto de eleição: teorias decoloniais, estudos de gênero, teoria queer, filosofia, teoria lacaniana, teoria e história da arte, o que o aproximaria daquilo que a teórica holandesa Mieke Bal denomina Análise Cultural.
Pacificando o branco: uma história da modernidade contada pelos indígenas
Authors: Danner Leno Francisco , Danner Fernando , Dorrico Julie
Published: February 2022

Resumo: Apresenta-se, neste texto, a perspectiva de uma crítica da modernidade, por parte do pensamento indígena brasileiro, a partir da sua denúncia da modernização como movimento expansivo totalizante que tem, na imbricação de eurocentrismo-colonialismo-racismo e/como fascismo, seu núcleo estruturante e dinamizador. Defende-se a proposta de um pensamento-práxis indígena que oferece uma explicação alternativa da modernização, enquanto guerra de colonização calcada no racismo estrutural e tendo como consequência o etnocídio-genocídio planificado, o qual também propõe um papel epistêmico-político-normativo aos indígenas, por eles e desde suas formas de ser e estar no mundo, a saber, pacificar o branco. Com isso, inverte-se uma tripla lógica da modernidade: a modernidade como uma perspectiva endógena, autorreferencial e autossubsistente; a modernidade como movimento expansivo linear e reto, rumo ao universalismo pós-tradicional - e como universalismo pós-tradicional - via racionalidade cultural-comunicativa; e a modernidade como a condição exclusiva e necessária da crítica da modernização, da crítica do outro da modernidade e do sustento de uma noção universal de direitos humanos, os quais os outros da modernidade não conseguiriam gerar e nem sustentar.

RESUMO Este artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa de mestrado que se propôs a mapear e analisar as percepções de mulheres que atuam no campo da saúde coletiva brasileira sobre violências de gênero vividas e expressas em seus cotidianos, a partir do recorte de um estudo amplo, intitulado ‘Mulheres da Saúde Coletiva: um retrato de quem constrói o campo’, desenvolvido pelo movimento de pesquisa-intervenção-luta de mulheres atuantes nesse campo, que formam a ‘Coletiva Adelaides: Feminismos e Saúde’. Trata-se de um estudo quanti-qualitativo, do tipo pesquisa-intervenção, que parte do método da cartografia e dos referenciais teóricos das epistemologias feministas negras. Os resultados são apresentados com base na tipificação das violências percebidas pelas mulheres, na sua interface com o processo do trabalho em saúde e na cotidianidade, apontando para a persistência e a gravidade das violências identificadas no cotidiano de mulheres atuantes no campo da saúde coletiva e nas contribuições possíveis para os estudos de gênero, que se dão pelo aprofundamento e pela análise desse cenário a partir da articulação dos conceitos de interseccionalidade e política do empoderamento, bem como pelo delineamento de possibilidades para enfrentamento dessas violências.

RESUMO Tendo como norteadores as recentes mudanças na condução das políticas de saúde mental no País e as disparidades em saúde vivenciadas por pessoas que convivem com transtornos mentais, este estudo buscou avaliar a atuação de uma rede de saúde mental comunitária a partir de três componentes principais: 1) a caracterização do perfil dos usuários; 2) a identificação das ofertas terapêuticas; e 3) a identificação dos cuidados clínicos recebidos pelos usuários em cada um dos serviços estudados, a saber: Centro de Atenção Psicossocial-II; Centro de Atenção Psicossocial-AD; ambulatório; e 13 serviços de Atenção Básica. Trata-se de um estudo transversal baseado em documentos, realizado através da análise de 4582 prontuários. Foram evidenciadas diferenças importantes entre os serviços quanto ao seu funcionamento e diálogo com outros pontos da rede de atenção. As ofertas terapêuticas foram caracterizadas, principalmente, pela oferta de consultas médicas e consultas individuais com profissionais da equipe multidisciplinar. Houve baixa utilização dos recursos comunitários e das oficinas terapêuticas. Foi observada, ainda, baixa oferta de cuidados clínicos aos usuários dos serviços especializados, em contraponto com a Atenção Básica, que, por sua vez, mostrou-se como um serviço potente e necessário para o cuidado das pessoas com transtornos mentais.

RESUMO Este estudo caracteriza condições de vida e situação de saúde das famílias que vivem da agricultura familiar e da pesca artesanal no sertão cearense. Trata-se de pesquisa descritiva quantitativa e delineamento transversal realizada mediante entrevistas com 152 agricultores(as) familiares e/ou pescadores(as) artesanais em Novo Oriente, Ceará, Brasil. A análise estatística foi realizada com frequência absoluta e relativa, média aritmética e desvio-padrão. Observaram-se algumas vulnerabilidades vivenciadas pelas famílias: 19,5% (n=29) com deficiência no tratamento da água para consumo, 25,7% (n=39) relataram existência de problemas ambientais, 26,6% (n=40) apresentando insatisfatória produção familiar, 34,6% (n=47) com baixa renda familiar, 75% (n=114) com inexistência na localidade de escolas e 88,2% (n=134) de creches, 51,3% (n=78) com carência de opções de lazer e 37,5% (n=57) em insegurança alimentar. Na análise da situação de saúde, destaca-se prevalência de doenças crônicas, como cardiovasculares e mentais. Essa realidade é contraditória com as metas propostas pelos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável: fome zero; boa saúde e bem-estar; educação de qualidade; água limpa e saneamento; emprego digno e crescimento econômico; redução das desigualdades. Dessa forma, as ações de saúde não podem se desvincular dessas iniquidades, devendo-se buscar uma articulação entre governos, empresas e cidadãos para alcançar as metas da Agenda 2030.

ABSTRACT The use of management strategies or changes in the cultivation environment can reduce the impacts of irrigation water salinity on plant development. Therefore, in this research, physiological responses, initial growth, and plant quality of Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan (Angico Branco) were evaluated under different levels of shading and electrical conductivity of the irrigation water, seeking to identify the most favorable conditions for the development of this species using brackish water. The experiment was carried out in randomized blocks with split plots and four replications. The plots were formed by four environments with different shading levels: 0 (full sun), 30, 50, and 70%, and the subplots, formed by five increasing levels of electrical conductivity of the irrigation water: 0.4, 1.6, 2.8, 4.0, and 5.2 dS.m−1. The following variables were evaluated: substrate electrical conductivity, leaf gas exchange, plant height, biomass production, and Dickson quality index at 40 days in a nursery. The use of artificial shading favored plant development and photosynthesis rate, even when irrigated with moderate and high salinity water. The DQI showed that A. colubrina plants presented higher quality index when produced under intermediate shading (30% and 50%), with yield losses below 20% when irrigated with water with electrical conductivity up to 2.8 dS.m−1.

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate feeding practices in the first year of life and their association with the development of overweight and obesity in children in Mexico. Methods: the association between overweight and obesity with different feeding practices were evaluated. The data was processed using the statistical package Stata version 14 using logistic regression models. Results: 396 children were evaluated; the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 6% and 7.7% presented a possible risk of overweight. 6.9% had exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months of life and 71.7% were fed infant formula. The variables significantly associated with the development of overweight and obesity in the first year of life were the age of the child (p =0.043, RR=0.57), the introduction of fluids in the first three days of life (p=0.02, RR=2.90), consumption of foods with a high sugar content (p =0.01, RR=0.25), consumption of milk other than breast (p =0.02, RR3.25) and egg consumption (p =0.05; RR=0.28). Conclusions: our results show that it is essential to attend complementary feeding practices and reinforce exclusive breastfeeding in the first year of life, as measures to prevent overweight and obesity to improve health in childhood.

ABSTRACT Climate variability tends to increase the occurrence of extreme drought conditions in semi-arid regions, thereby compromising crop yield, including that of drought-tolerant plants such as forage cactus pear. Irrigation of cactus with saline water has enabled good results, and its combination with changes in planting densities may promote changes in the production response of this crop. A field experiment spanning two crop cycles was carried out to evaluate nutrient concentrations in ‘Gigante’ forage cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica Mill) under different saline water irrigation depths and planting densities. A randomized block design was used with treatments arranged in split-split plots. Two irrigation intervals (7 and 14 days) were assigned to plots, four planting densities (20,000; 40,000; 60,000 and 80,000 plants ha-1) to subplots, and four irrigation depths of saline water of electrical conductivity 2.91 dS m-1 (0, 11, 22 and 33% of reference evapotranspiration) to sub-subplots. The irrigation depths were applied only in the period of the year without rain. Intermediate planting densities (43,002 and 54,687 plants ha-1) promote lower P, Ca and Fe concentrations in cladode tissues of forage cactus pear. Irrigating ‘Gigante’ cactus forage with saline water up to 33% ETo increases the concentrations of N, P, Ca, Mg, B, Cu, Mn and Zn in cladode tissues. Irrigation levels between 16 and 25% of ETo with saline water resulted in the highest concentrations of K, S and Na.
