Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Introduction: Physical exercise promotes positive physiological adaptations, reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and promoting greater autonomic control of heart rate and reduction in pressure levels. Objective: To compare the behavior of arterial pressure and autonomic heart rate modulation in the 1-repetition maximum knee extension test, performed on the 45-degree leg press machine in normotensive and prehypertensive subjects. Methods: Twenty-four male volunteers were assessed. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate variability (HRV) were evaluated at rest, immediately after the maximum load achieved and during the 10, 20, 30 and 40-minute recovery phases. Statistical analyses were obtained using SigmaStat 3.5 software and a level of significance of 5%. Results: Mean and standard deviation were used to identify 12 normotensive patients (N) aged = 25.5 ± 5.7 years; height = 174.3 ± 6.6 cm; BMI = 24.9 ± 2.4; SBP on average = 112.6 ± 5.6 mmHg and 12 prehypertensive (PH) patients aged = 29.8 ± 6.5 years; height = 175.7 ± 6.7 cm; BMI = 27.8 ± 6.5; mean SBP = 131.1 ± 3.2 mmHg. There was a statistical difference in the pNN50 index (%) at rest (PH = 1.13 ± 0.66 and N = 1.58 ± 0.35) and in the LF/HF index, also at rest (PH = 0.18 ± 0.29 and N = −0.18 ± 0.36). Conclusion: The one-repetition maximum (1RM) test did not promote cardiovascular risk in the prehypertensive group during its execution, with double product results lower than 30,000 mmHg.bpm, demonstrating lower cardiac overload. Moreover, HRV exhibited similarity in sympathetic-vagal behavior, in the time/frequency domain, between the groups. Level of Evidence III; Study Case-control.

Authors: Coimbra Danilo Reis , Dominski Fábio Hech , Correia Clara Knierim , Andrade Alexandro
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze the scientific production of journals on sport and exercise science and physical education in Portuguese that are indexed in the Scopus database by conducting a bibliometric analysis. Six journals related to this field of study and indexed in the Scopus database were selected. Regarding publications, the journals published 3,869 documents while indexed in Scopus, most (90.8%) of which were original articles. The year with the highest number of publications was 2013 (n = 473). The clusters of keywords that were cited most often (“physical activity” and “exercise”) were related to biodynamics. Most journal authors are from Brazil (89.86%). The Brazilian Journal of Sports Medicine had the highest number of publications (n = 1179), the highest average per year (n = 78.6), and reached the highest index in the scientific journal ranking (SJR index = 0.331). We concluded that scientific production increased until 2013. The publications with the highest number of citations and the most common study topics are related to the area of biodynamics.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to build an instrument to attain reliable and valid measurements of the knowledge, attitudes and practices of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: methodological study that measured the sensitivity, reliability and validity of the instrument content. Studies of reliability and content validity comprehensibility involved 234 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Results: an integrative review was conducted for theoretical foundation. The sensitivity study comprised 30 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, who had greater knowledge on tuberculosis (12.03) than the control group (9.93). Factor analysis showed that 7 factors explained 67.8% of the variance. Content validity identified a 98.3 % comprehensibility, and the expert trial assessed the sufficiency, clarity, relevance and coherence criteria, showing agreement between judges. Conclusions: the instrument has studies of sensitivity, reliability and content validity that showed it can be applied to patients with pulmonary tuberculosis; nevertheless, cultural and semantic adaptations must be developed for other scenarios.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the effect of dry care and the application of chlorhexidine to the umbilical cord of newborns at risk of developing omphalitis. Method: systematic review with meta-analysis. Clinical trials comparing dry care with the application of clorexidine to evaluate omphalitis were selected. Methodological quality was evaluated using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials. Results: the joint analysis of the studies shows a significant decrease in the risk of omphalitis in the chlorhexidine group compared to the dry care group (RR=0.58, CI: 0.53-0.64). However, in the analysis by subgroups, chlorhexidine umbilical cord care did not reduce the risk of omphalitis in hospital births (RR=0.82, CI: 0.64-1.05), in countries with a low infant mortality rate (RR=0.8, CI: 0.5-1.28), or at chlorhexidine concentrations below 4% (RR=0.55, CI: 0.31-1). Chlorhexidine acted as a protective factor at a concentration of 4% (RR=0.58, CI: 0.53-0.64), when applied in cases of home births (RR=0.57, CI: 0.51-0.62), in countries with a high infant mortality rate (RR=0.57, CI: 0.52-0.63). Conclusion: dry cord care is effective in countries with low infant mortality rate and in hospital births. However, 4% chlorhexidine for umbilical cord care protects against omphalitis in home births, in countries with a high infant mortality rate.

Authors: Tostes Maria Fernanda do Prado , Galvão Cristina Maria
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the evidence available in the literature on the process of implementing the Surgical Safety Checklist, proposed by the World Health Organization, in the practice of health services. Method: integrative review, the search for primary studies was performed in three relevant databases in the health area, and the sample consisted of 27 studies, which were grouped into three categories. Results: the synthesis of the evidence indicated the different strategies that can be adopted in the implementation process (introduction and optimization) of the Surgical Safety Checklist, and the facilitators and barriers that determine the success in using this tool. Conclusion: in health services, implementing the checklist is a complex and challenging process that requires effective leadership, clear delegation of responsibilities from each professional, collaboration between team members, and institutional support. The synthesis of the generated knowledge can assist nurses in decision making, especially in identifying strategies for the effective implementation of the Surgical Safety Checklist, since nursing has the potential to be a protagonist in the planning and implementation of best practices for patient safety.
Impact of phosphate solubilizing bacteria on wheat (Triticum aestivum ) in the presence of pesticides
Authors: Munir I. , Bano A. , Faisal M.
Published: February 2019

Abstract Three phosphate solubilizing bacteria were isolated and identified by 16S rRNA sequencing as Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas sp and Pseudomonas fulva . The strains were subjected to plant biochemical testing and all the PGPR attributes were checked in the presence of pesticides (chlorpyrifos and pyriproxyfen). The phosphate solubilizing index of strain Ros2 was highest in NBRIP medium i.e 2.23 mm. All the strains showed acidic pH (ranges from 2.5-5) on both medium i.e PVK and NBRIP. Strain Ros2 was highly positive for ammonia production as well as siderophore production while strain Rad2 was positive for HCN production. The results obtained by the strains Rad1, Rad2 and Ros2 for auxin production were 33.1, 30.67 and 15.38 µg ml-1, respectively. Strain Rad1 showed 16% increase in percentage germination in comparison to control in the presence of pesticide stress. Most promising results for chlorophyll content estimation were obtained in the presence of carotenoids upto 6 mgg-1 without stress by both strains Rad1 and Rad2. Study suggests that especially strain Ros2 can enhance plant growth parameters in the pesticide stress.
Genetic diversity in Mexican wild populations of the Great Curassow (Crax rubra)

Published: February 2019

Abstract The Great Curassow (Crax rubra) is a Neotropical bird with a wide distribution; it is classified under different threat categories and is listed as a vulnerable species by the IUCN. The Official Mexican Standard, the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, indicates that the Great Curassow is a threatened species, and the subspecies Crax rubra griscomi, which is restricted to the island of Cozumel, is classified as critically endangered. Habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting, overexploitation, and illegal trade are among the main factors that have placed the bird at an endangered status. The objective of the present study was to determine the genetic structure and variation of the species within the Mexican populations of Crax rubra by using three mitochondrial markers, and one nuclear marker (COI, ND2, Cyt b, and MUSK). We used 47 samples obtained by noninvasive collection (feathers) including the two different color phases of the female plumage: dark brown and barred (rare in Mexico). Gene flow between the remaining populations is recent and extensive, even between the continental and the island population (C. r. griscomi). The results indicate that the subspecies C. r. rubra and C. r. griscomi do not present a marked genetic differentiation because the second exhibits an exclusive haplotype and a shared haplotype. With this study, we provide the first genetic-geographic approximation of the curassow in Mexico, where a gradual geographic differentiation is observed between the western and eastern populations of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and we provide a baseline for future studies. Finally, the information obtained indicates that important genetic diversity persists in the Mexican populations of the Great Curassow and that sufficient conservation within the ecosystems of these subspecies can be obtained by protecting them from overexploitation and by conserving and restoring their habitat.
Práticas de fabricação: higiene e sujeiras na produção de pães e padeiros
Authors: Carriço Antônio de Salvo
Published: February 2019

Resumo Este artigo aborda a relação entre discursos técnicos, construções simbólicas e práticas sociais, problematizando suas fronteiras aparentes e analisando as articulações pelas quais se constituem efetivamente. Esta discussão é mobilizada pela questão da higiene envolvida na produção de pães a partir de dois contextos pesquisados etnograficamente: um curso de formação de padeiros, no Senai, e padarias propriamente ditas. À primeira vista, são contextos opostos neste quesito - o Senai possui instalações que primam pela limpeza e enfatiza essa preocupação nas aulas, enquanto os pães produzidos nas padarias pesquisadas dividiam espaço com roedores, baratas, bactérias e instrumentos deteriorados. Contudo, argumenta-se que ambos podem ser entendidos a partir de dinâmicas semelhantes se a “higiene” for considerada segundo uma lógica de apropriação específica, enfatizando as interações sociais particulares a partir das quais seu caráter “objetivo”, “científico” e “impessoal” é mobilizado.
“Le salvé la vida”: el pecho vivido, la leche narrada. Historia(s) de ama de teta, sur de España, siglo XX
Authors: Massó Guijarro Ester
Published: February 2019

Resumen El presente artículo aborda la historia reciente de las nodrizas (amas de cría o amas de teta) en el sur español a través de la técnica de historias de vida, en concreto la reconstrucción biográfica de la experiencia personal de dos nodrizas, madre e hija (aún viva, que ha ejercido de narradora). La relevancia de estos testimonios radica en que aportan información de gran calidad sobre la experiencia del amamantamiento de estas personas como nodrizas, que hemos dado en llamar “subalternas”, en torno a una parte de la historia social y de las mujeres que resulta bastante invisible y silenciada en estudios hasta la fecha. El artículo aborda primero un marco teórico sobre la allomaternal nursing para, después, presentar pormenorizadamente el estudio de caso. Los principales hallazgos etnográficos permiten desarrollar un análisis sobre cómo las protagonistas de estas lactancias campan de la “subalternidad lactante” al empoderamiento a través del valor del altruismo. La filosofía de la narración y el enfoque de la recogida de herstories de vida láctea serán cruciales para desarrollar el marco epistemológico y metodológico de este trabajo.

Authors: Leite Tainah Víctor Silva
Published: February 2019

Resumo Este artigo busca destacar alguns elementos para o entendimento de um modelo de transformação ninam a partir da relação que estes estabelecem atualmente com o cristianismo evangélico e as festas de caxiri. O argumento central explora como estas duas vias de transformação percorridas pelos Ninam - as bebedeiras de caxiri e o cristianismo, cada qual articulando à sua maneira continuidade e mudança - são relacionadas em uma mesma estrutura que informaria um modo característico de experimentar e criar um mundo continuamente transformacional. Ao mesmo tempo busca-se uma comparação com o modelo de transformação missionário (a conversão) de maneira a acentuar os traços distintivos do modo indígena de transformação. A trama que conecta cristianismo e bebedeiras de caxiri, Ninam e missionários é assim o enredo privilegiado para vislumbrar dois modelos diferenciados de transformaçãoem relação.

ABSTRACT: The Newcastle disease, caused by avian avulavirus type 1 strains (APMV-1) is an important avian disease involved into high rates of mortality and economic losses. Several outbreaks have been reported over the last 30 years in Columbiformes in different parts of the world, caused by a adapted variant strain of AAvV-1, called pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1). A high mortality associated with an outbreak was analyzed in free-living pigeons (Columba livia) in a public square in Porto Alegre in Southern Brazil. A total of 24 pigeons moribund or freshly dead, within five weeks interval were submitted to necropsy, histopathological, immunohistochemical (anti-Newcastle), and RT-PCR followed by sequencing of the amplification products analysis. They presented neurological signs, non-suppurative encephalitis and encephalomyelitis, and mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate in different organs. Immunohistochemical analysis in nine pigeons tissue showed that anti-Newcastle was expressed in brain, kidney, liver and pancreas. The RT-PCR test for the M protein of Newcastle disease virus was positive in six pigeons. The differential diagnosis of Influenza, West Nile, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae in all pigeons presented negative results. The sequence of amino acids in the cleavage site region of the F protein was 112RRQKRF117 classifying the strain as virulent. The phylogenetic analysis classified this virus strain into Class II and VI genotype.

ABSTRACT: Changes in the spine of dogs are usually detected in clinical and in surgical practice. Few studies exist on musculoskeletal ultrasound anatomy of the thoracolumbar and lumbar segments of the normal spine of dogs. This study aimed to compare the normal musculoskeletal ultrasound anatomy of the T10-S1 vertebral segments with images obtained with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and anatomical structures, and to establish the ability to identify structures using these modalities. Ultrasound scans allowed visualization of the muscles of the region, articular processes, spinous process, interspinous ligament, and yellow ligament in the lumbosacral window. Computed tomography images provided better bone details, compared to ultrasound images. Low-field MRI allowed the identification of the same structures identified with ultrasound imaging, and allowed the identification of cerebrospinal fluid, transverse processes, and provided improved detail of the intervertebral discs and spinal cord. Knowledge of ultrasound anatomy of the region may allow the the identification of muscle and ligament injuries. Thus, in cities where CT and MRI are inaccessible, ultrasonography of the region could be a good alternative to identify possible changes not observable with radiographic examination or to complement radiographic examination.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT: The present study reported the mutation C189G in the T gene (Brachyury gene) as the cause of malformation in the tail of the Labrador dog. One litter of Labradors, from a mating between a female with short tail and a male with normal tail admitted at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, Brazil, was evaluated in this study. Blood samples were collected from the female and her puppies. After DNA extraction, sequencing and PCR-RFLP were carried out. The C189G mutation was identified through both techniques only in dogs with short tail.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT: A case of blackleg in a brown brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) associated with trauma from being hit by a car in southern Rio Grande do Sul is reported. The clinical signs included fever, dehydration and lethargy that worsened progressively until 36 hours after the accident, when the animal died. In the fore right limb, there was a comminuted closed fracture of the radius and ulna but no skin wounds were observed. Grossly, the musculature of the pelvic limbs presented hemorrhage, edema and emphysema. Microscopically, the muscles of both rear legs had necrosis, edema, hemorrhage and mild inflammatory infiltration of neutrophils. Clostridium chauvoei was cultured from affected skeletal muscles, and it was also detected by immunohistochemistry, confirming a diagnosis of blackleg. The overlapping habitat of cattle and brown brocket deer is proposed as a predisposing factor in this case and alerts to spillover cases maybe happening in this region. In addition, blackleg should be included as differential diagnoses of deer with post-traumatic myositis.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether acute citrulline supplementation might influence post-exercise hypotension in normotensive and hypertensive individuals. Methods Following a randomized double-blind design, twenty normotensive (28±7 years, 74±17kg, 1.7±0.09m) and 20 hypertensive individuals (55±12 years, 76±15kg, 1.59±0.09m) were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental groups (Normotensive-Placebo; Normotensive-Citrulline; Hypertensive-Placebo; Hypertensive-Citrulline). The placebo groups ingested 6g of corn starch and the citrulline groups ingested 6g of citrulline dissolved in water. The participants performed 40 minutes of walking/running on a treadmill at 60-70% heart rate reserve. Blood pressure was measured immediately after a 60-min exercise session using an oscillometric device and 24-h ambulatory monitoring. Results The post-exercise hypotension was more pronounced in hypertensives and the Hypertensive-Citrulline group showed a consistent systolic blood pressure reduction during the laboratorial phase, which can be seen by looking at the mean of 60 minutes (-15.01mmHg vs -3.14mmHg [P=0.005]; -4.16mmHg [P=0.009]; -6.30mmHg [P=0.033] in comparison with the Normotensive-Placebo, Normotensive-Citrulline, and Hypertensive-Placebo groups, respectively). During ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, the Hypertensive-Citrulline group showed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (-21.05mmHg) in the awake period compared with the Normotensive-Citrulline group (-3.17mmHg [P=0.010]). Conclusion Acute citrulline oral supplementation can induce greater post-exercise hypotension response in hypertensive than normotensive individuals.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective To determine intuitive eating in young adults and the effects of factors such as gender, Body Mass Index and dietary intake, and dietary adequacy on intuitive eating. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted with students at Gazi University in Ankara (N=665; 17.6% men; 82.4% women). The questionnaire, including the general characteristics, anthropometric measurements, Intuitive Eating Scale-2, and 24-H Dietary Recall sections, were applied to all participants. For the evaluation of the diet, Nutrient Adequacy Ratio and Mean Adequacy Ratio were used. Results The mean Intuitive Eating Scale-2 score was 3.2±0.33; men’s and women’s scores were 3.3±0.37 and 3.2±0.32, respectively (p<0.05). According to linear regression analysis, gender, age and mean adequacy ratio had an effect on the model for the score (p<0.05). In addition, there was a negative correlation between Intuitive Eating Scale-2 scores and Body Mass Index values in women (rp=-0.095, p=0.026). Conclusion The intuitive eating scores varied according to gender, dietary adequacy and age. Intuitive eating may be effective in the formation of long-term behavioral changes, which is beneficial for the treatment of obesity. The result of this study may encourage the development of this behavior in groups (may vary according to gender), that is thought to be effective by considering the changes of intuitive eating behavior.
Healthy eating through the eyes of adolescents: A qualitative analysis of messages from the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the interpretation by adolescents of messages contained in the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population. Methods Qualitative study of adolescents distributed across “conversation circles”. Each group received messages about healthy eating from the Dietary Guidelines and was instructed to develop materials containing their own interpretation thereof, using appealing wording and format. Content analysis was then used to evaluate these materials. Results Presentation of the produced materials revealed a focus on placing the participants at the center of the process and highlighting the dynamic and innovative nature of each strategy. Corpus analysis identified three clusters of meaning: (I) Food classification and selection model: The participants showed comprehension of the different formulations of foods and their impacts on health, but using other terms. A reductionist understanding of the composition of a healthy diet was observed; (II) Environment and eating practices: the environment was characterized as conducive or not to healthy eating, and open-air markets were recognized as spaces for healthy choices. Creating recipes was judged a wise choice to be shared; and (III) Diet-related individual and collective wellness: consequences of unhealthy food intake were linked to physical and emotional well-being. Concerns were raised about the use of natural resources and the impact of pesticides on individuals and the environment. Conclusion To facilitate understanding of the Dietary Guidelines, the wording of its messages must be adapted, and the discussion about healthy eating and proper diet must be broadened to ascribe greater value to the act of cooking in this population.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the association between sugar-sweetened beverages consumption and dietary quality in adolescents, adults, and older adults living in São Paulo, Brazil. Methods Data were drawn from a cross-sectional population-based study conducted in 2008 in a representative urban city sample involving 1494 consumers of sugar-sweetened beverages. Dietary intake was evaluated through two 24-Hour Dietary Recalls, and the usual sugar-sweetened beverages consumption was estimated using the Multiple Source Method. Dietary quality was evaluated using the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index – Revised. The association between total score of the revised index and components with sugar-sweetened beverages consumption tertiles was assessed using multiple linear regression models for each age group, considering the sample design. Results Regardless of age group, the increase of sugar-sweetened beverages consumption was associated with a decrease in the total Healthy Eating Index – Revised score and in the components “total fruit”; “whole fruit”; “meat, eggs and legumes”, and the “solid fat, alcohol and added sugar”. Conclusion The results of our study suggest that higher sugar-sweetened beverages consumption was associated with poorer dietary quality. Planning public health policies aimed at decreasing sugar-sweetened beverages consumption is essential to increase dietary quality and reduce the incidence of noncommunicable diseases.

ABSTRACT Objective To carry out a mapping of the historical trajectory of the professional associations of nutritionists (scientific associations, councils and professional labor unions) in Brazil. Methods The study consists of a historical-documentary analysis. To obtain the data, information and documents, the websites of the Federal Council of Nutritionists; Brazilian Association of Food and Nutrition; National Federation of Nutritionists and Nutritionists’ Unions were browsed. A systematic bibliographic survey was carried out in the databases of the Scientific Electronic Library Online and National Library of Medicine to retrieve scientific articles about the associations of nutritionists in Brazil over the 80 years of their history, focusing on the last ten years. Results The historical analysis indicates that, over the course of eighty years, there has been strengthening of professional associations of nutritionists and achievements concerning training regulation, professional practice, fields of work and working conditions. The labor reform act of 2017 reduces the rights related to working conditions, creating setbacks in the achievements of nutritionists. Conclusion The professional associations of nutritionists have played an important role in the process of professionalization and legitimacy of training and performance of the profession in the country. There are indications of the unified performance of professional associations, but it is still incipient and scarce. Nowadays, unified, transparent and committed action of these professional associations is imperative for the professionalization and improvements of the working conditions of Brazilian nutritionists.

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed at knowing and analyzing sociocultural meanings of the daily dietary practices revealed by a university community, in the context of a wellness program to their community and its surroundings. Methods The research team ran 28 workshops with the participation of 34 university units and 558 subjects in total. All workshops were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Content analysis was performed with the identification of emerging themes and categories. Results From the analysis of this material four categories emerged. There is the desire caused by the pleasure of having meals in a group of people and consuming foods rich in fat and sugar, but with its consumption shrouded by guilt. Healthy foods were considered important but related to obligation and displeasure. The community also wants to consume healthy foods daily in the academic environment, however, pointed out barriers such as an increasing pace of work and lack of time. Conclusion It was possible to identify barriers and desires related to food practices in the daily life of the university. This study demonstrated that changing the eating behavior of an academic community is a major challenge for wellness programs, even for an institution that produces and disseminates scientific knowledge.

Authors: Selvatti Thaisa de Sousa , Borges Luis Antônio Coimbra , Soares Helena Cristina Carvalho , Souza Álvaro Nogueira de , Coelho Junior Luiz Moreira
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT This papaer analyzed the global MDF production and its concentration degree between 1995 and 2016. In order to measure and analyze this concentration, we used the Concentration Ratio [CR(k)], the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), Theil Entropy Index (E), Hall and Tideman Index (HTI), the Comprehensive Concentration Index (CCI), and the Gini Index (G). Global MDF production grew 12.81% p.a. from 1995 to 2016, reaching 99 million m3 at the end of the time series. China took over the hegemony in 2001 and arrived in 2016 with about 60% of the world’s MDF supply. The CR(k) of the global MDF production inferred a high concentration, mainly in the CR(4) from 2009. The CR(8) remained with a moderately high average concentration. During this period more than 90% of the offer was retained in the CR(20). The HHI, E and HTI indices corroborate that there is high concentration in global MDF production, as well as the CCI in the studied period. The inequality indicated by G also presented increasing behavior and was classified as strong and very strong. The concentration indicators were efficient in evaluating the concentration degree of the world MDF supply.

Resumo O isqueiro pneumático é um equipamento que permite produzir fogo por meio de rápida compressão do ar e, quando construído com tubo de acrílico transparente, é possível observar a queima de uma pequena amostra de algodão colocada em seu interior. Por ser um instrumento pouco conhecido e cujo funcionamento chama a atenção vislumbramos seu uso em sala de aula como ferramenta auxiliar na construção significativa de conceitos de Termodinâmica, tanto na Física quanto na Química do processo, podendo ser usado como articulador de interdisciplinaridade. As muitas conversões de energia observadas no processo podem alavancar o interesse em conceitos que vão para além daqueles restritos à Termodinâmica. Em especial, relatamos como podem ser feitas estimativas da energia liberada no processo de queima do algodão utilizando para isso um software livre para processamento de vídeos quadro a quadro, o Tracker. Esperamos que este trabalho venha a divulgar o isqueiro pneumático como ferramenta de ensino para a Física e Química, estimular o uso de experiências simples em sala de aula visando o desenvolvimento significativo do conhecimento e evidenciar que a aquisição e o processamento de dados pode mostrar-se atividade potencialmente lúdica de investigação em física clássica já no nível médio de ensino.

Published: February 2019

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the drug prescriptions for pregnant women in the Legal Amazon during prenatal care. Methods: this is a pharmacoepidemiological, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study. Medical records included sociodemographic variables, prenatal care, most frequent pharmacological classes prescribed, risk classification of drugs and possible drug-drug interactions among pregnant women. Results: a total of 159 records from pregnant women, enrolled in the Unified Health System were used. Most pregnant women began prenatal consultations in the first trimester of pregnancy (53.3%) whereas most of the drugs were prescribed in the second gestational trimester (55.5%). The most used pharmacological classes, classified according to the National List of Essential Drugs were: antianemic preparations (52.9%), vitamins (12.5%) and analgesic (10.6%). According to the risk classification, the highest prevalence of prescribed drugs belongs to category A (46.8%), followed by category C (28.9%), category B (20.0%) and category D (4.3%). Eight possible drug-drug interactions were found, being considered with mild severity, and six classified with moderate risk. Conclusions: the results demonstrate a lack of information regarding prescription drugs for pregnant women and this may endanger maternal and fetal health. It is essential that medical records be an effective therapeutic tool, which should be read, analyzed and reviewed in order to ensure effective and safe medical treatment.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze prenatal care process in primary health care units and compare the prenatal adequacy in the third trimester with maternal and perinatal outcomes. Methods: a cross-sectional study of 2,404 pregnant women assisted in 2011in twelve primary health care units in the South region of São Paulo city. The data was collected through medical records. The assessment was based on the indicators process of the Programa de Humanização do Pré-natal e Nascimento (PHPN) (Prenatal and Birth Humanization Program). The prenatal adequacy in the third trimester was analyzed according to three criteria (early-onset, minimum of six consultations and puerperal consultation); and the compared maternal and perinatal outcomes were: type of childbirth, gestational age, birth weight and breastfeeding. The analysis was descriptive for the PHPN indicators and comparative for the prenatal adequacy by the chi-square test. Results: early prenatal (82.9%), minimum of six consultations (73.0%) and puerperal consultation (77.9%). In the overall of the PHPN indicators, there was an expressive decrease in the medical records (10.2%). Prenatal care was adequate for 63.6% with a significant difference in relation to gestational age (p=0.037) and birth weight (p=0.001). Conclusions: There were deficiencies in prenatal care. The difference between the groups in the perinatal outcomes reinforcing the need for prenatal care according to national indicators.
THE THEORETICAL DIALOGUE BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN THE LOGIC OF SCIENCE IN ACTION
Authors: BARROS ANTONIO TEIXEIRA DE
Published: February 2019

Abstract This article examines how the theoretical repertoires of the social sciences are managed by the researchers in environmental communication/journalism and how the theoretical arguments are appropriated in the applied studies. The corpus of analysis comprises 492 scientific communications presented by researchers of the Brazilian Society of Interdisciplinary Communication Studies (Intercom) in the period of 2001-2016, in addition to 36 interviews. The conclusions highlight: the historical contribution of the social sciences to the formation of the academic field of communication; the epistemic proximity between the social sciences and communication/journalism; the valorization of the use of this repertoire by environmental communication/journalism researchers. The interviews reinforce the interdisciplinary nature of environmental communication, the epistemic and methodological proximity to the social sciences, the plurality of actors involved and the consolidation of an already established way of doing research by Intercom scholars in its 40 years of operation.

Published: February 2019

Abstract This article aims to identify the level of similarity between dengue and climatic, sociodemographic and sanitation variables in Brazilian Northeast capitals between 2001 and 2012, by cluster analysis, an explanatory technique used on multivariate data to verify the interrelationship between groups formed by the similar distances among its components. The results, validated by Spearman, showed high correlation (p-value ≤ 0.0001) of dengue with: female subjects between 10-19 years old and over 79 years old; the annual total of urban public waste collected by all types of agents, especially private agents; and the total extent of area swept by public agents, suggesting that a higher volume of residues would lead to higher occurrence of mosquito breeding sites transmitting the disease. There was also some correlation with the indexes of water and sewage treatment, suggesting that it is related to the maintenance of the mosquito-borne life cycle due to the water availability.
Narrativas jornalísticas da greve geral da Argentina e Brasil de 2017: intrigas, conflitos e personagens
Authors: Miranda Cynthia Mara , Shuen Li-Chang
Published: February 2019

Resumo Neste artigo, apresentamos uma análise da narrativa jornalística sobre a greve geral ocorrida na Argentina em 6 de abril de 2017 e no Brasil em 28 de abril de 2017. A partir de uma análise comparativa de dois eventos políticos de grande proporção, buscamos identificar similaridades e diferenças na narrativa jornalística da greve geral em dois jornais de ampla circulação nacional: Clarín e Folha de S. Paulo. O corpus é composto por manchetes e chamadas de capa de sete edições de cada jornal, tratado quantitativamente no Iramuteq e qualitativamente a partir do referencial metodológico da análise de narrativa. A análise do corpus evidenciou a construção de narrativas jornalísticas distintas para reportar eventos políticos com pautas similares e apontou para a necessidade de os meios de comunicação garantirem espaço para a pluralidade de vozes, assim como garantir o espaço do contraditório nas narrativas jornalísticas.

RESUMO: Introdução: Entender as disparidades raciais no Brasil tem sido algo bastante complexo e pouco investigado em alguns segmentos populacionais, como na população idosa. Objetivo: Objetivou-se apresentar de forma descritiva uma análise comparativa, numa perspectiva racial, do perfil sociodemográfico, das condições de saúde e de uso de serviços de saúde dos idosos da cidade de São Paulo, SP. Métodos: Trata-se de uma análise transversal do Estudo Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (SABE). Para o presente trabalho, foram considerados 1.345 idosos da coorte de 2010. Selecionaram-se os dados referentes aos idosos de cor preta, parda e branca. Abordaram-se os dados em três eixos essenciais: sociodemográficos, condições de saúde e uso e acesso a serviços de saúde. A medida epidemiológica de associação escolhida foi a razão de prevalência (RP), para expressar as diferenças entre os grupos. Resultados e conclusão: Os resultados evidenciaram um cenário mais favorável para o envelhecimento dos idosos de cor branca em comparação com aqueles de cor parda ou preta, no tocante aos indicadores sociodemográficos, às condições de saúde ou de uso e ao acesso a serviços de saúde.

RESUMO: Introdução: A cidade de São Paulo conta com a maior comunidade de descendentes japoneses fora do Japão. Objetivos: Comparar as condições demográficas, econômicas, funcionais e de saúde de idosos não japoneses, japoneses e descendentes de japoneses, bem como analisar comparativamente as condições funcionais e de saúde de idosos nascidos no Japão e de seus descendentes nascidos no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado no município de São Paulo, no ano de 2010, com 1.345 idosos (≥ 60 anos) participantes do Estudo Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (SABE). Os idosos foram classificados em não japoneses (não nascidos no Japão), japoneses (nascidos no Japão) ou descendentes diretos de japoneses. Para a análise dos dados, utilizou-se o teste do χ2 com correção Rao-Scott. Resultados: Dos 1.345 idosos, 3,3% eram japoneses ou descendentes. Esses se diferenciavam dos não japoneses quanto à escolaridade mais elevada e suficiência de renda. Entre os idosos nascidos no Japão, houve maior proporção de longevos (38,8%), portadores de doenças cardiovasculares (48,9%) e de declínio cognitivo (26,7%). Conclusão: Nota-se que os idosos japoneses/descendentes apresentaram melhor funcionalidade quando comparados aos não japoneses. Já entre japoneses e descendentes, observou-se diferenças no perfil das doenças. Acredita-se que tais resultados possam ser decorrentes das influências culturais.
Sobrevida de idosos e exposição à polifarmácia no município de São Paulo: Estudo SABE
Authors: Romano-Lieber Nicolina Silvana , Corona Ligiana Pires , Marques Liete Fatima Gouveia , Secoli Silvia Regina
Published: February 2019

RESUMO: Introdução: O uso de polifarmácia pode ser resultante da presença concomitante de condições crônicas, atendimento por diversos médicos e automedicação. Combinada com a vulnerabilidade de idosos aos efeitos dos medicamentos devido a alterações farmacocinéticas e farmacodinâmicas, a polifarmácia torna essa população mais suscetível a desfechos adversos. No Brasil, estudos mostram que a polifarmácia é um problema frequente entre idosos, mas faltam informações sobre sua associação com mortalidade. Objetivo: Avaliar a sobrevida de idosos do município de São Paulo expostos ao uso de polifarmácia (cinco ou mais medicamentos). Métodos: Trata-se de uma coorte de base populacional, o Estudo Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (Sabe), da qual se pesquisou o seguimento de 2006 a 2010. A amostra foi composta por 1.258 indivíduos com 60 anos ou mais. O método de Kaplan-Meier e o modelo de riscos proporcionais de Cox foram usados para examinar a associação entre mortalidade e polifarmácia. Resultados: A probabilidade de sobrevida após cinco anos dos indivíduos usuários de polifarmácia na linha de base foi de 77,2%, enquanto nos não usuários foi de 85,5%. Apolifarmácia permaneceu como fator de risco para óbito mesmo após ajuste de demais condições associadas à mortalidade, como idade, sexo, renda, doenças crônicas e internação hospitalar. Conclusão: Os resultados apontam para a polifarmácia como um preditor de mortalidade para pessoas idosas. O uso de múltiplos medicamentos por idosos deve ser cuidadosamente avaliado para evitar ou minimizar danos a essa população.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Descrever a prevalência da autoavaliação de saúde ruim e muito ruim em idosos não asilados vivendo na cidade de São Paulo em 2010 e identificar se persistem as desigualdades sociais anteriormente relatadas para esta condição. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal, com amostra representativa de 1.344 pessoas com 60 anos ou mais vivendo na cidade, participantes do Estudo SABE (Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento). Foi aplicado questionário sobre características sociodemográficas, incluindo três questões de autoavaliação de saúde: uma pergunta direta sobre a condição atual, uma comparação com a condição das demais pessoas da mesma idade, e uma comparação consigo mesmo há um ano. A análise comparativa utilizou modelos de regressão de Poisson, relatando a razão de prevalências como medida de associação entre variáveis. Resultados: Apenas 7,8% dos idosos relataram autoavaliação negativa de saúde em 2010, proporção análoga à dos que se consideraram em pior condição de saúde que as demais pessoas de mesma idade (8,7%). No entanto, foi mais elevada a prevalência de idosos que relataram piora em relação ao ano anterior: 29,2%. Independentemente da questão utilizada, a prevalência de autoavaliação negativa de saúde associou-se diretamente com piores indicadores de renda, escolaridade e classes de consumo. Também foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os sexos, grupos etários e categorias de cor da pele. Conclusão: Diferenças na prevalência de autoavaliação negativa de saúde persistem afetando os grupos sociodemográficos. O conhecimento já disponível sobre desigualdades sociais de saúde não propiciou suprimir ou atenuar a injustiça social neste desfecho.
