Authors: León Francisco Javier , Tobar Sánchez Jesús Armando , González Calderón William , Suárez Arias Rafael Enrique
Published: February 2025

Introducción. Las pruebas Saber, aplicadas por el Instituto Colombiano para la Evaluación de la Educación (ICFES), miden el desempeño de los estudiantes en competencias según su nivel de formación. Este estudio analiza el progreso en competencias de estudiantes de tres programas tecnológicos (virtual, presencial y dual-virtual) de una universidad del oriente colombiano mediante la comparación de sus resultados en las pruebas Saber 11 y Saber Técnico y Tecnológico (Saber TyT). Materiales y Métodos. Este estudio descriptivo y transversal evaluó datos de estudiantes que presentaron Saber 11 desde 2014 y, posteriormente, Saber TyT desde 2016. Se aplicó un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple y pruebas de asociación. Resultados. De los 3.095 graduados, solo el 14.7% tenía resultados completos en ambas pruebas, lo que limitó el análisis. Se identificó una correlación moderada entre los puntajes obtenidos en las competencias del Saber 11 y del Saber TyT, siendo más fuerte en inglés (r (409) = 0.65; p = 0.00) y razonamiento cuantitativo (r (409) = 0.60; p = 0.00). Los programas de acompañamiento contribuyeron positivamente a estas áreas, mientras que competencias ciudadanas y comunicación escrita presentaron un desempeño menos consistente. La modalidad de estudio y el promedio general acumulado influyeron significativamente en los resultados de Saber TyT. Estos hallazgos orientan la optimización de estrategias educativas enfocadas en la retención y avance en competencias críticas. Conclusiones. Este estudio subraya la importancia de ajustar estrategias pedagógicas para integrar competencias clave en los programas académicos, contribuyendo a la autoevaluación y acreditación institucional.

Nominal morphology of the Dargin languages: the peculiarities in Kubachi and Itzari idioms
Authors: Mutalov Rasul
Published: February 2025

The article deals with the peculiarities of nominal parts of speech functioning in the Kubachi language and the Itzari dialect of the Tsudahar-Sirkhya language (the Dargin branch of the Nakh-Dagestanian languages). There are significant differences in both phonetics and grammatical structure in the Dargin languages, although the Dargin was considered to be the one language in previous period. However, the aim of establishing a final classification of Dargin languages and dialects is complicated by the absence of full comparative study within the Dargin languages. A comparative analysis of grammatical categories of nominal parts of speech is held in this work. As a result of the study, common features and different peculiarities of the Kubachi language and the Itzari dialect are identified. A number of morphological phenomena which is common to both of them and not specific to other neighboring Dargin idioms are revealed. In particular, it is common to both linguistic units under study: the 2nd personal pronoun coincidence, the functioning of simple numerals without the suffix -al, the presence of changing class indicator in attributive suffixes (-zi-b) and others. Based on these facts, it is concluded that in the proto-Dargin language, the Kubachi and Itsari idioms belonged to one and the same group of dialects. However, later, as a result of linguistic changes, they broke up into independent linguistic units, and that fact explains the existing differences. The results obtained will be useful in preparing a comparative historical grammar of the Dargin languages.
Free-living amoebae: a journey into historical aspects and to current discoveries
Authors: Santos Helena Lúcia Carneiro
Published: February 2025

Free-living amoebas (FLA) are ubiquitous protists found in the environment. They have shown exceptional resistance to environmental challenges and play significant roles in controlling microbial populations through their predatory behaviour and microbicidal activity in both soil and aquatic ecosystems environments. However, although rare, a limited group of FLA can cause serious infections in the central nervous system and other diseases, particularly in immunocompromised individuals with high mortality rates. They can also cause keratitis in otherwise healthy individuals. This review offers a comprehensive overview of freshwater naked amoebae but does not cover all aspects in detail. Its goal is to provide a historical context for our current understanding while addressing the most critical elements of FLA biology, their pathogenic potential, and their interactions with important human pathogens.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing Crohn’s disease (CD) surgery may develop a higher rate of postoperative complications (POC) than other patients. AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate factors determining POC in patients with CD undergoing urgent laparotomy. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted on adult patients undergoing urgent laparotomy for CD. Clinical and surgical variables, medication history, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, and POC were investigated. Data collection and management were carried out using the REDCap software (REDCap electronic data capture tools) hosted at the hospital institution. For statistical analysis, the χ2 (or Fisher’s exact) test, Student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney test, and simple and multiple multilevel logistic regression analyses were used. RESULTS: There was an association regarding the history of adalimumab use (p=0.04, OR 2.8, 95%CI 1.03-7.65), previous use of prednisone (p<0.01, OR 2.03, 95%CI 2.00-2.05), urgent surgery indications (p<0.01, OR=4.32, 95% CI=1.58-11.82), mechanical anastomosis (p=0.02, OR=0.22, 95%CI 0.06-0.80), unexpected intraoperative findings (p=0.02, OR 10.46, 95%CI 1.50-72.99), length of hospital stay greater than 10 days (p<0.01, OR 16.86, 95%CI 2.99-94.96), unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission (p=0.01, OR 15.06, 95%CI 1.96-115.70), and planned ICU admission (p<0.01, OR 18.46, 95%CI 3.60-94.51). On multivariate analysis, there was an association between the indication of urgent surgery (or emergency) (p=0.01, OR 4.38, 95%CI 1.43-13.37) and unexpected intraoperative findings (p=0.03, OR 8.11, 95%CI 1.21-54.50). CONCLUSIONS: Unexpected changes and urgent surgical indications are considered risk factors for POC in patients with CD.

Abstract Composite based on PP/CaCO3 contained micro and nanoparticles were investigated in relation its activation volume, mechanical, thermal and transport properties. The additives were initially dispersed in homopolymer polypropylene (hPP) blended with compatibilizer maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA) in twin-screw extruder, producing CaCO3 masterbatches, that were subsequently diluted in hPP. To optimize fillers dispersion in the polymer matrix, a Design of Experiment (DOE) was used, that combined Extruder screw rotation (N: 250 and 500 rpm); Extruder feed flow (Q:10 and 15 kg/h) and Average particle size (ϕ: 40 nm and 1.7 μm) at four different filler concentrations. Based on mechanical characterization results, the best process found was 500 rpm@10 kg/h, which provided suitable Specific Mechanical Energy (SME), increasing the nanocomposites strength. Finally, improvements of Impact Resistance up to 7.8% and Young's Modulus up to 9.3% related to microcomposite and Tensile Strength (Fmax), up to 7.9%, related to hPP, with higher strain.

Published: February 2025

Abstract Objectives: To analyze the return to the sport and the level of sports practice in a longitudinal cohort of athletes treated with osteotomy around the knee. Methods: Active athletes who underwent osteotomy or knee surgery to treat knee osteoarthritis were included, and their data was collected retrospectively. The primary outcomes were maximum physical activity level before and after the surgery (Tegner score), time to return to maximum activities and reoperation. Results: Twenty athletes with a mean age of 33 years at the time of surgery (standard deviation 8.9 (SD)) and with a mean follow-up of 9.8 years (SD 4) were included. The mean maximum Tegner score achieved before surgery was 8.6 (SD 1.4). Nineteen patients returned to sports (95%), and 13 returned to the same prior level (65%). The median time to return to the maximum level was 13 months (mean 17.9, SD 12.4). The mean maximum postoperative Tegner score was 7.5 (SD 2.0), slightly lower than the maximum achieved before surgery (mean difference:1.1, CI:0.2-1.9, P=0.026). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that, after osteotomies around the knee, athletes present a high rate of return to sports activities, with most returning at the same level as before the surgery.

Authors: Grassi Guilherme Dias , Schneider Eduardo Luis , Oliveira Claudia Trindade , Fernandez Fernando Ferreira
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Alloys of the Al-Mg-Sc system are possible options for use in aircraft aiming to reduce structural weight and fuel consumption, due to the demand for advanced metal alloys with better properties, but at a less attractive cost. Considering the potential of these alloys, the present work aimed to evaluate the use of Scalmalloy® in one aircraft component: wings spars, and the values of desired properties for this component were discussed. The mechanical properties of these alloys were consulted in the Aleris datasheet for alloys 5024 and 5028. Consultations were made to the data in the literature, and subsequent comparisons of values of the mechanical properties and Merit Indexes: E1/2/ρ, δy2/3/ρ, E1/2/Cmρ, δy2/3/Cmρ between Scalmalloy® and the traditional alloys, using Cambridge Engineering Selector® 2019 software. It can be seen in the results indicated in Ashby diagrams and tables produced that, for wings spars, the Al-Mg-Sc AA5028-H116, produced by additive manufacturing, has the highest index E1/2/ρ equal to 3.19 and the highest index δy2/3/ρ equal to 25.313. However, the index E1/2/Cmρ is equal to 0.17 and the index δy2/3/Cmρ is equal to 1.35. Therefore, it was found that AA5028-H116 has the potential to replace the traditional alloys, despite its higher price.

restauraRapp – An R package to subsidize forest restoration planning in Riparian Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs)
Authors: Araújo Júlio Cesar Lima de , Martensen Alexandre Camargo
Published: February 2025

Abstract The Law No. 12,651/2012 brought changes to the widths of riparian Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) to be restored, which now also depend on the size of the rural property in fiscal modules, which in turn, varies depending on the municipality. Because of this, defining the environmental liabilities of these PPAs is complex, requiring geoprocessing procedures and information that are not always readily available. To automate the identification of these areas to be restored, the restauraRapp package was created, which presents a set of functions for automating four steps of the procedure: I) Data acquisition; II) Classification of property sizes; III) Processing information on land use and cover data in riparian areas; IV) Cartographical and tabular output generation. This package can support landscape planning focused on the restoration of riparian PPAs, potentially assisting NGOs, municipality governments and landowners.
Gluten Detection by Real-Time PCR: an Alternative for Tracking Processed Foods
Authors: Oliveira Wemerson de Castro , Fröder Hans , Righi Eléia
Published: February 2025

Abstract This work reports a real-time PCR assay to specifically detect the presence of gluten in complex food matrices and to carry out an in-silico prospection of primers used in scientific research. The primers used were “tritprglut” and “Planta 18S” (reference gene), which had mean quantification cycle values (Cq) of 34.30 and 16.98, respectively. The real-time PCR protocol was validated in different meats (beef, chicken, pork, horse and lamb) with an average Cq of 25.69. Tests to verify fraud in industrialized foods were carried out with the following products: cereal bars, chocolate, crackers and two types of snacks. All foods complied with the information contained on the label, except for the cereal bar that was identified as “may contain gluten” and had a “high content” concentration (1,925 mg/kg). The LD value was 36 cycles and the LQ was 60 mg/kg, being within the “low content” classification range. The in-silico tests were performed using two software, MFE and NETprimer, and the content parameters GC, Tm (°C), ∆G (kcal/mol), dimer formation and hairpins. The “Wheat-w-Gliadin” primer showed the best average parameters: size= 24 bp; GC= 44%; Tm = 62.5 °C; ∆G= -32.25 kcal/mol; no dimer or hairpin formation; and a maximum primer rating (100). There were differences in results between the software used. The results highlight the potential of the real-time PCR technique in detecting gluten and/or allergens in foods with a complex matrix, such as chocolate and cereal bars tested in this study, proving to be sensitive and robust to detect the presence of potentially high gluten concentrations. harmful for celiac consumers.

Abstract This study aimed to develop a bromelain-based gel and evaluate its effects in a ligature-induced periodontitis model in rats. The bromelain-based gel was formulated in two concentrations (1% and 10%). Ten animals were used per group: Control, Periodontitis, Periodontitis + Neutral Gel, Periodontitis + 1% Bromelain Gel, Periodontitis + 10% Bromelain Gel and Periodontitis + 2% Chlorhexidine Gel. The clinical parameters of tooth mobility (TM), gingival bleeding index (GBI) and probing pocket depth (PPD) were evaluated and, after euthanasia, gingival and liver tissue were collected by biopsy for biochemical evaluation of myeloperoxidase (MPO), malonaldehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and from the jaws for morphometric analysis of alveolar bone height. The clinical parameters of MT, GBI and PPD of the groups treated with bromelain gel showed a significant reduction (MT = 67.04%, GBI = 67.72% and PPD = 41.22%) compared to the group with periodontitis. The results for MPO dosage in the gingival tissue showed statistically significant differences between the groups when compared to the group with periodontitis, MDA and GSH showed promising results in the groups treated with gels in the dosages of gingival and liver tissue. The results for ABL showed significant differences when compared to the groups that received gel treatment. Therefore, the bromelain orabase gel evaluated in periodontitis showed a positive response for the following parameters TM, GBI and PPD, MPO, MDA and ABL of the oral tissues, preventing alveolar bone resorption caused by the disease, highlighting the potential as an adjuvant treatment of periodontitis, in addition to reducing the systemic effects on the liver tissue.
Allocation of Series Capacitors Bank in Electric Power Distribution Systems
Authors: Correa Patrick Michael Motta , Fernandes Thelma Solange Piazza , Teixeira Mateus Duarte
Published: February 2025

Abstract To ensure the quality of the energy in distribution networks, configurations of voltage regulators (VRs) and Shunt Capacitor Banks (BCshunts) are traditionally used along the feeders. Series Capacitors Bank (BCseries) along the feeders can also help to improve the power quality. In this paper, a strategy is proposed based on a mathematical formulation for an optimization problem where the aim is to allocate and size BCshunts and VRs (as traditionally implemented in the electricity sector) together with BCseries in distribution networks. These devices are allocated using Genetic Algorithm together with Multiperiod Optimal Power Flow. Using the proposed strategy, it is analyzed the network performance by studying: (i) the allocation of VRs and BCshunts simultaneously, and (ii) the allocation of VRs, BCshunts and BCseries simultaneously. The objective function is based on the minimization of active power loss costs, penalties for voltage violations, and equipment costs. Results are presented for a 90-bus radial distribution system which show that the use of BCseries is suitable for feeders with abrupt load variations, and that this approach competes positively with the simultaneous allocation of VR and BCshunt devices, with shorter investment amortization times and improved quality indices.

Resumo Este artigo retoma a etnografia resultante da pesquisa de campo realizada na cidade de Pelotas, sul do Rio Grande do Sul, entre os anos de 2006 e 2012. O seu objetivo é descrever as casas de religião, ou os terreiros, pela experiência temporal implicada em seus processos de criação e pelos seus agenciamentos territoriais, os quais, por um lado, respondem pelas conexões entre o interior e o exterior das casas e, por outro, pela composição dos intervalos, com seus respectivos graus de proximidade e de distância, na relação com as diferentes forças espirituais que habitam dentro delas. Se todas as casas dependem da relação de continuidade com alguma raiz, da existência permanentemente renovada, por meio de cuidadosas práticas rituais, dos seus diversos vínculos, essa raiz está sempre plantada de modo heterogêneo, compondo com a multiplicidade que, em cada uma delas, é reconhecida como significativa.

Published: February 2025

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os efeitos da dinâmica da violência urbana no cotidiano de jovens moradores da cidade de Fortaleza a quem se atribui o cometimento de ato infracional e estão em cumprimento de medidas socioeducativas. Utilizamos a cartografia como método de pesquisa-inter(in)venção. Fazemos uso de diários de campo, entrevistas narrativas e análise inspirada na própria cartografia. Os resultados e discussões apontam para a produção de trajetórias de vida em meio ao fogo cruzado entre a segurança pública e disputa de facções, de modo que jovens negros(as) e pobres estão sendo mais vitimados, bem como atualizações estruturais como machismo e sexismo nos mercados ilícitos que têm afetado o cotidiano de jovens. Concluímos que, a partir das narrativas dos adolescentes, a restrição de liberdade, o agravamento da violação de direitos sociais, morte à espreita e modos de subjetivação juvenil são os principais efeitos da violência aos seus cotidianos.
UNMET NEEDS OF LESBIAN WOMEN IN BREAST CANCER TREATMENT
Authors: Souza Carolina de , Santos Manoel Antônio dos
Published: February 2025

Abstract Women whose sexuality deviate from the heteronormative standard, such as lesbians and bisexuals, go unnoticed by health services. This study aims to describe the experiences of discrimination suffered by a lesbian woman with breast cancer and her partner during their oncological treatment journey. A qualitative case study based on in-depth interviews was conducted with two lesbian spouses. Thematic analysis allowed the construction of thematic axes. The results showed that the vulnerability process of the spouses was amplified by the need to defend themselves against constant attacks on their identities. The invisibility and discrimination of lesbian women in the oncology care network has contributed to multiplying the unmet health needs, worsening the already tenuous link with health professionals. Addressing the disparities experienced by lesbian women in health services is a challenge for the effective implementation of the human rights agenda.

Resumo Neste artigo analisamos os fatores que contribuíram para o aprofundamento da precarização do trabalho de professoras de escolas públicas durante a pandemia de Covid-19 nos municípios de Dourados e Ivinhema, localizados no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Buscamos trazer contribuições acerca das memórias e mudanças nas relações de trabalho dessas docentes em diálogo com as epistemologias feministas e com as críticas ao neoliberalismo. As narrativas das professoras apontam a falta de apoio financeiro dos órgãos públicos, as dificuldades de acesso e manuseio de tecnologias, o cansaço decorrente do trabalho remoto, do luto constante, de demandas de cuidado e a dificuldade de separação entre os trabalhos produtivo e reprodutivo, exercidos no mesmo território trabalho-casa. Como resultado, argumenta-se que os fatores que contribuíram para a intensificação da precarização do trabalho dessas docentes durante a crise sanitária envolvem a apropriação capitalista e patriarcal de seus corpos, tempos e territórios.

Authors: Flores Júnior Cândido Rocha , Laurenti Carolina
Published: February 2025

Resumo Nossa realidade sócio-histórica exige o envolvimento de cientistas das mais diversas áreas no debate público e uma compreensão rigorosa a respeito da relação entre a ciência e a realidade política local. A discussão sobre essas questões na academia latino-americana encontra referência seminal em Fals Borda, que na década de 1970 propôs uma concepção de ciência própria e subversiva como oposição ao colonialismo e à dependência intelectual. A partir de uma análise teórico-conceitual de textos de Fals Borda, procuramos delinear um conjunto de questões que possam auxiliar na apreciação dos compromissos sociopolíticos de nossa prática científico-acadêmica tendo como base a caracterização de ciência própria e subversiva. Uma ciência própria latino-americana contribui com o conhecimento universal partindo de critérios e necessidades do contexto local. Essa ciência seria necessariamente subversiva, comprometendo-se com a ruptura das estruturas sociais que sustentam a dependência intelectual.

Resumo Este artigo relata percursos de práticas formativas em psicologia social a partir de diálogos inter-epistêmicos com povos indígenas e povos quilombolas, narrando três ações realizadas em 2021 e 2022: grupo de estudos e disciplina intitulados “Psicologia, Povos Indígenas e Quilombolas” e o Seminário “Reflorestar a Psicologia”. Tais práticas formativas possibilitaram tecer uma Psicologia em diálogo “com”, não apenas “sobre” os povos. Além disso, apontou para a necessidade de uma atuação pautada no território, na etnicidade e na multiplicidade cultural, se implicando ético-politicamente com as lutas dos povos indígenas e quilombolas, afirmados em sua diversidade. Concluímos que o saber/fazer da Psicologia Social, quando em aliança com os povos indígenas e quilombolas, possui um potencial contracolonial, interpelando as dinâmicas sociais e a própria psicologia.
“O QUE VALE É O SANGUE, HISTÓRIA(S) E ORIGEM(NS)!”: INDIANIDADES DOS POVOS INDÍGENAS TABAJARA

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender os campos de sentidos atribuídos pelos povos indígenas Tabajara às suas indianidades, no Piauí. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada com 20 lideranças indígenas, fundada no aporte teórico e metodológico da Produção de Sentido no Cotidiano. Os relatos destacam a desconstrução da imagem colonial e estereotipada do ser indígena e os modos de ser e de (re)afirmar-se indígena. A partir disso, observou-se que à medida que os grupos indígenas Tabajara passaram a (re)elaborar sua identidade étnica e coletiva em torno de um vínculo ancestral, de parentesco e de território comum, esses grupos colocaram em análise aspectos constitutivos de um discurso colonial e estereotipado sobre o “ser indígena” e (re)criaram práticas discursivas em torno de suas histórias de vida e de suas indianidades, assumindo-as enquanto estratégia de luta, resistência e (re)existência indígena, frente às relações de colonialidade presentes no cotidiano da vida.

RESUMO O objetivo desta pesquisa é conhecer a percepção de agressividade na perspectiva de jovens atletas, de seus familiares e de treinadores. Entrevistas semiestruturadas foram usadas para coletar dados qualitativos de quatorze participantes, seis jovens atletas de futebol, seis familiares e dois treinadores. A análise temática foi adotada como método de análise de dados. Foram encontrados quatro principais temas a partir da análise temática: acontecimentos nas arquibancadas, perspectiva de mães e de treinadores, fatores vinculados à agressividade e concepções sobre a agressividade. Diante da análise dos temas gerados a partir das entrevistas, pôde-se assumir que os entrevistados tinham noções prévias a respeito da diferença entre agressividade hostil e instrumental, tendo a maioria deles demonstrado aversão à hostilidade. Em nenhuma entrevista os participantes apontaram colegas de equipe como influentes para a agressividade, já os familiares foram indicados nas entrevistas como os agentes que mais exercem influência nos comportamentos hostis de jovens atletas.
CATHINONES AND VIAGRA IN CHEMSEX: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHY OF TOUCH, MASCULINITIES AND AESTHETICS
Authors: Díaz Jorge Humberto Lucero
Published: February 2025

Abstract This article presents an autoethnographic analysis of chemsex, focusing on the simultaneous use of viagra and cathinones. The haptic and aesthetic dimensions of these encounters are examined, considering their effects on masculinities, gender, and sexual practices. A central tension emerges between haptic experimentation, which fosters a non-genital-centric sexuality, and the homonormative masculine aesthetics that shape these experiences. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the research is based on critically analyzed personal participation in chemsex, which was documented through field notes. The results reveal that chemsex practices are deeply relational, influenced by both pharmacological effects and aesthetic norms. The study concludes that chemsex constitutes a space of complex cultural transformation, where new forms of relationship, pleasure, and gender expression are challenged and redefined.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different planting times and meteorological variables on the productive performance of industrial cassava in the Agreste region of Alagoas state, Brazil. The treatments were five planting dates, 25 days apart: D1 - April 10, D2 - May 5, D3 - May 30, D4 - June 24 and D5 - July 19. The experiment was conducted from April 2021 to September 2023 (two cultivation cycles), using randomized blocks, with four replicates. The variables analyzed were agrometeorological data, crop growth and yield. In the Agreste region of Alagoas, the average daily ET0 varies from 2.9 to 4.7 mm between the rainy and dry seasons, respectively. The average temperature of 24.3 °C meets the thermal demands of cassava cultivation. Although annual rainfall is sufficient to guarantee cassava production, it is seasonal, with a dry period from spring to summer, which compromises subsequent plantings. In the Agreste region of Alagoas, the best time to plant cassava is from April 10 to May 5, which is the beginning of the rainy season and ensures better vegetative canopy height (3.2 m), stem diameter (2.8 cm), leaf area index (3.0), maximum root length (43.1 cm), number (6.6) and yield (72.8 t ha-1), total biomass (145 t ha-1) and starch content (34.3%).

ABSTRACT Adequate thermal comfort for plant growth in protected environments is associated with properties of translucent coverings. This study investigated the influence of three types of plastic films (diffuser, transparent, and milky) at three agricultural greenhouses in Fortaleza city, CE, Brazil. The objective of this study was to analyze air temperature and relative air humidity conditions, seeking recommendations to optimize plant growth performance in greenhouses. Ten monitoring stations were distributed, three for each plastic covering and one external; readings were taken 2 m above the ground level, using temperature and relative air humidity sensors (SHT31). Data were collected from July 11 to July 27, 2023, with readings every 5 min (totaling 12 readings per hour) and subsequently processed through linear regression. The tested coverings resulted in different temperature and relative air humidity during early morning hours (1 and 5%). The comparison between diffuser and transparent, and diffuser and milky films showed differences at 5 and 1%, respectively, while transparent and milky films did not show differences. The diffuser film exhibited lower temperature variations throughout a 12-hour period. The diffuser covering provided the lowest temperatures and smaller variations throughout the day, which was significantly different from milky and transparent films during warmer hours. These results provide valuable information for optimizing conditions in agricultural greenhouses, contributing to sustainable and efficient practices in protected cultivation.

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the oral condition of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 and its impact on their quality of life. The cross-sectional study participants were patients with or without a diagnosis of COVID-19, on room air, and conscious, admitted to the ICUs and wards of Public Hospital Units in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. The data collected included: demographic information, length of stay, comorbidities, and type of diet, obtained from medical records; Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) [Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14)]questions patients were asked; oral health (measured by the Bedside Oral Exam Scale); oral hygiene status (assessed by the Oral Hygiene Index - Simplified and lingual: degree of lingual coating); and salivary flow. The prevalence of COVID-19 was associated with gender (p = 0.038), with a higher incidence observed in male patients (61.9%). Moreover, there was a correlation between the hospitalization sector (p = 0.037) and the frequency of ICU admissions (53.7%). The prevalence of comorbidities was comparable between the two groups. Relative to oral health, 53% of individuals with confirmed COVID-19 had moderate oral health, while 9% exhibited poor oral health. The prevalence of hyposalivation was higher in the group with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. The quality of life of individuals with confirmed COVID-19 was most significantly impacted by moderate to severe oral health concerns. The most significant alteration in oral health was a reduction in salivary flow, negatively impacting the quality of life of individuals hospitalized for COVID-19 complications.
A gestão de sustentabilidade na perspectiva dos bibliotecários dos Tribunais Regionais Federais
Authors: Geraldo Genilson , Pinto Marli Dias de Souza
Published: February 2025

Resumo: O Poder Judiciário brasileiro, em seu planejamento estratégico, desponta como pioneiro na incorporação dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da Agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas. Tal evidência permeia o objetivo deste estudo no intuito de analisar a gestão de sustentabilidade na perspectiva dos bibliotecários servidores dos Tribunais Regionais Federais. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos empregados, em relação aos procedimentos técnicos configura-se como bibliográfica e documental, em relação aos objetivos do estudo caracteriza-se como exploratória e descritiva. Para o tratamento dos dados adotou-se abordagem qualitativa, pontualmente a técnica de análise de conteúdo, a partir dos resultados provenientes da aplicação de questionário semiestruturado. Verificou-se que do total de 27 Tribunais Regionais Federais analisados, seguem o padrão metodológico do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, priorizando as dimensões ambiental e econômica do Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Pode se inferir que, embora a gestão de sustentabilidade dos respectivos Tribunais não esteja devidamente alinhada com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, manifesta interesse no desenvolvimento de governança responsável, colocando a questão em pauta. Constatou-se que a participação dos bibliotecários nas ações de sustentabilidade é limitada, mesmo com o reconhecimento da importância do alinhamento com a Agenda 2030. Nesse contexto, evidencia-se a relevância de os tribunais ampliarem suas ações de sustentabilidade, incluindo os bibliotecários servidores no planejamento, gestão e execução dessas ações, visando uma gestão inclusiva, equitativa, sustentável e informacional. Por fim, destaca-se que as competências que detêm os bibliotecários, efetivamente, deveriam conscientizar e mobilizar e promover a Sustentabilidade Informacional no Poder Judiciário.

Resumo As lâmpadas LED, muito consumidas e necessárias à sociedade, trazem impactos ao meio ambiente e na crescente geração de resíduos de equipamentos eletroeletrônicos. No descarte, podem ser consideradas fontes secundárias de materiais críticos, em que é necessário pensar formas de retorno à cadeia produtiva. A retirada dos LEDs do módulo é a etapa mais complexa do processo. O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar um método de separação de LEDs, visando a melhor recuperação de metais. A metodologia envolveu a obtenção dos módulos de LED, retirada em chapa aquecedora em diferentes temperaturas, moagem e caracterização química. Após os testes, identificaram-se diferentes composições da solda nas conexões LED-Placa, em que alguns módulos (retirados a 150°C) têm a presença de chumbo, e em outros não (retirados a 200°C), este último caso atende normas internacionais que restringem seu uso.
