Local Variation in Feeding Ground Utilization of Dugongs (Dugong dugon) Across Two Intertidal Seagrass Beds in Talibong Island, Thailand
Authors: Yamato Chiaki , Ichikawa Kotaro , Kittiwattanawong Kongkiat , Arai Nobuaki
Published: May 2024

In this study, we describe the population characteristics and residency patterns of dugongs (Dugong dugon) across two intertidal seagrass beds in Talibong Island, Thailand: Site A, covering an area of 2.0 × 105 m2, and Site B, covering an area of 2.8 × 105 m2. Transect and individual identification surveys were conducted under clear water conditions using drones: 16 separate days over 11 months at Site A and 10 separate days over 3 months at Site B. Sixty-four individuals were identified from 180 videography sessions. The results confirmed at least two distinct patterns of seagrass habitat utilization among sites located approximately 5 km apart. Site A was characterized by a lower population density, higher year-round site fidelity, occupancy by relatively large individuals, and an absence of feeding aggregations. In contrast, Site B was characterized by a higher population density, lower site fidelity, occupancy by individuals with a wider range of body lengths, and the presence of feeding aggregations. The average population density at Site B was three to five times higher than that at Site A. Site A had a median nearest neighbor distance of 320 m with no significant bias in its distribution, whereas Site B had a median of 20 m with a significant bias. The mean site fidelity index for Site A (0.62 ± 0.08; n = 16) was significantly higher than that for Site B (0.39 ± 0.14; n = 10). Dugongs at Site A might have monopolized this site to some extent, while those at Site B might have benefited from increased opportunities for social interaction provided by aggregations. These findings highlight the importance of fine-scale monitoring of feeding ground utilization by dugongs, taking into consideration individual-specific details such as body lengths and resighting rates for a better understanding of their spatial distribution.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the factors associated with the knowledge of Community Health Agents (ACS) about tuberculosis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 110 ACS. A questionnaire was used to assess knowledge about pulmonary tuberculosis (component 1) and the work functions of ACS in the National Tuberculosis Control Program (component 2). The level of knowledge, according to the scores converted into a scale of 0 to 100, was classified as: 0-50% (low), 51-75% (medium), and over 75% (high). Multiple regression was used in the analysis of associated factors. Results: The global score (average of the scores of components 1 and 2) median knowledge was 68.6%. Overall knowledge about tuberculosis was positively associated with the length of professional experience, having received training on tuberculosis, and access to the tuberculosis guide/handbook. Conclusions: Investments in training and capacity-building strategies for ACS will contribute to increasing these professionals’ knowledge, resulting in greater success in tuberculosis control.

Published: May 2024

Resumo A grande maioria das doenças do sistema nervoso central apresenta alto sinal em ponderações T2 na ressonância magnética. As alterações com baixo sinal são menos comuns, de forma que essa característica permite estreitar o diagnóstico diferencial. Analisamos, retrospectivamente, pacientes com imagens de ressonância magnética de crânio e/ou coluna em que este achado foi útil na investigação diagnóstica. Os pacientes foram selecionados no período entre 2015 e 2022 e todos tiveram seus diagnósticos confirmados por estudo clinicorradiológico ou por estudo histopatológico. Obtivemos imagens de 14 pacientes com as seguintes afecções: malformação arteriovenosa, cavernoma, metástase de linfoma, meduloblastoma, tumor embrionário, metástase de melanoma, cisto da bolsa de Rathke, doença de Erdheim-Chester, aspergilose, paracoccidioidomicose, tuberculose, sífilis, doença relacionada à IgG4 e metástase de tumor neuroendócrino de pulmão. Descrevemos lesões de diversas origens etiológicas que, a partir de suas características nas imagens ponderadas em T2, foi possível reduzir o quadro de diagnósticos diferenciais e chegar mais facilmente à hipótese final.

Published: May 2024

Abstract The majority of central nervous system diseases show high signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Diseases of the central nervous system with low signal intensity are less common, which makes it a finding that helps narrow the differential diagnosis. This was a retrospective analysis of brain and spine magnetic resonance imaging examinations in which that finding was helpful in the diagnostic investigation. We selected the cases of patients examined between 2015 and 2022. All diagnoses were confirmed on the basis of the clinical-radiological correlation or the histopathological findings. We obtained images of 14 patients with the following central nervous system diseases: arteriovenous malformation; cavernous malformation; metastasis from lymphoma; medulloblastoma; embryonal tumor; metastasis from melanoma; Rathke’s cleft cyst; Erdheim-Chester disease; aspergillosis; paracoccidioidomycosis; tuberculosis; syphilis; immunoglobulin G4-related disease; and metastasis from a pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor. We described lesions of different etiologies in which the T2-weighted imaging profile helped narrow the differential diagnosis and facilitated the definitive diagnosis.

Embodiment and inspiration of Chinese philosophy of life in traditional music education
Authors: Hu Jian
Published: May 2024

Abstract: This paper discusses the embodiment of Chinese life philosophy in Chinese traditional music education and emphasizes its important enlightenment to traditional music education. The innovation point lies in the in-depth study of the lack of reflection on Chinese philosophy of life in traditional music education. It puts forward how to integrate the principles of life philosophy, such as “harmony, Qi and imagery”, into the specific process of music education. The specific process includes discussing the basic concepts of music education in ancient China and exploring the application of life philosophy to music aesthetics. Through the philosophical embodiment of Chinese life philosophy, such as “harmony between heaven and man” and interactive trauma, this paper emphasizes the philosophical aspects of traditional music education, as well as the “harmony” and “imagery” in music aesthetics. Finally, this paper summarizes the importance of life philosophy in Chinese traditional music education, and discusses its potential value and enlightenment to traditional music education.
Influence of traditional Chinese thought on the performance style and creation of piano music works
Authors: Li Ni , Chen Yi
Published: May 2024

Abstract: The piano, which originated in Europe, is the crystallization of Western musical civilization and is known as the king of musical instruments. After hundreds of years of development, it has developed a relatively complete system of creation, performance and teaching. In this process, it can be seen that there are many piano music works with the unique style and charm of traditional Chinese thoughts, using the method of Chinese folk music and the melody with Chinese characteristics. The combination of traditional thoughts and piano demonstrates a unique charm of Chinese music, with strong cultural heritage and artistic appeal. Therefore, piano music works, infiltrated into traditional Chinese thoughts, are not only a China’s treasure, but also an indispensable element in Chinese piano performance and education. The purpose of this article is to deeply understand and reflect on piano music works in traditional Chinese culture, explore the uniqueness and charm of Chinese piano music works, and understand the embodiment of traditional Chinese thoughts in piano music creation, thus exploring the uniqueness and innovation of Chinese piano music creation, providing reference and support for promoting the development of Chinese piano music works.
Evaluation of the philosophical thought of ancient Chinese metallurgical technology culture
Authors: Hua Xiaofang , Jiang Maofa
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Ancient China’s metallurgical technology is known for its antiquity and delicacy, but, for a long time, people have always been sensitive to the philosophical ideas contained in it, lacking a rational understanding and theoretical generalization. Metallurgical technology is a typical technology in ancient Chinese craftsmanship. It provided a detailed analysis of the philosophical ideas contained in metallurgical technology, including ironmaking (steelmaking) technology and bronze smelting and casting technology. It is believed that the prominent features of ancient Chinese metallurgical technology culture are the emphasis on the importance of philosophy, the emphasis on “timing, geographical advantages, and human harmony”, and the emphasis on the philosophical thought of “harmony”.
Philosophical perspective on artistic development and historic animation thinking
Authors: Wang Zhi
Published: May 2024

Abstract: In the context of the “era of image reading”, animation is also a modern product, and Chinese animation has always been “transmitting images through images”. Chinese animation has become accustomed to borrowing cartoons from countries, such as Japan or European ones, and their creativity in animation thinking has been greatly suppressed, which is a devastating blow. By tracing the origin of animation thinking from a philosophical perspective, the evolution of human thinking and expression can be further understood. This helps researchers understand the evolution and evolving innovations of human culture, and thus better understand the relationship among culture, art and philosophy. Object thinking emphasizes breaking down complex problems into smaller components, namely objects. In animation, this can be interpreted as breaking down complex scenes and actions into separate objects, characters and elements. This object abstraction and correlation help animators better understand and design the interactions among characters, the movement of objects and the dynamics of the overall animation. Although the study of “Xiang thinking” has developed in the history of philosophy, it has not been directly related to the tracing of animation thinking and artistic reconstruction. In fact, it has a significant impact on animation thinking. Through the philosophical text analysis of animation works, researchers can dig out the philosophical themes, symbols and meanings in animation. This may include the interpretation of a particular animated work and how certain philosophical thoughts are expressed through the narrative, characters, visual elements, etc. Therefore, the study of object thinking has important practical significance for explaining the uniqueness of animation thinking. One of the goals of research may be to discover the intertextuality between animation and philosophy, which includes exploring how philosophical writings and thoughts are represented in animation, and accordingly, how animation affects philosophical thinking.
The concept of music education from a philosophical perspective
Authors: Liu Ziyu
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Music education, as an important discipline, has always received attention from the education and music communities. Music is not just an art form, but the carrier of human expression, cognition and behavior. However, there are differences in views on the purpose and content of music education. Different cultural backgrounds in China and the West place different emphasis on music education. By comparing music education philosophies, under different concepts, one can understand the music education practices and concepts of different cultures, thereby promoting cross-cultural communication and understanding. Philosophy is a discipline that explores fundamental issues and principles, emphasizing speculative and critical thinking. In China’s history, philosophical ideas have played an important role in shaping music education. Ancient China’s philosophical ideas, such as Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, have had a profound impact on the understanding and education of music. In order to better understand the internal connection between musical art forms and expressive behavior, and to gain a deeper understanding of the essence and significance of music, this article adopted a comparative research method from a philosophical perspective to debate the concept of music education and explore its essence and goals. By comparing different perspectives, the aim is to propose a comprehensive concept of music education to promote students’ comprehensive development. This article started from the dialectical relationship between the essence of music and philosophy, and then analyzed different music education concepts from a philosophical perspective. Finally, from a philosophical perspective, it studied the inspiration for music education reform. Music education should not only focus on skills and performance, but also on the cultivation of aesthetic and thinking abilities. Analyzing from a philosophical perspective, we can better understand the essence and significance of music, explore the value of music education, solve problems in it and promote sustainable development of music education. At the same time, it can have profound impacts in fields, such as psychology, sociology and healthcare. It effectively demonstrates the multiple values and roles of music education, providing a broader perspective for the public to understand and promote music education.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effect of tannin extract from Acacia mearnsii on intravaginal temperature, production and milk composition of Holstein cows in a subtropical environment. The study period was 29 days and 20 multiparous Holstein cows were selected with an average milk production of 50 ± 6 kg/day and 147 ± 83 days in milk. The cows were separated into two treatments: Control (n = 10) did not receive dietary supplementation. Tannin (n = 10) received Condensed Tannin (Tanac S.A., Montenegro, RS, Brazil) at a dose of 0.19% dry matter (40 g/cow/day). Animals were monitored for milk production and composition as well as intravaginal temperature. The environmental temperature and humidity index (THI) were monitored. The mean THI was 72.39 ± 0.69. The mean intravaginal temperature was 39.17 ± 0.14 °C in the Tannin treatment and 39.03 ± 0.14°C in the Control treatment (P > 0.05). The animals in the Tannin treatment exhibited an intravaginal temperature of 39.2 °C at THI 69.38, and the Control treatment exhibited the same temperature at THI 70.16 (receiver operating characteristic (ROC); P < 0.01). Milk production was higher in the Tannin treatment than in the Control treatment (51.38 ± 0.90 kg/day and 49.94 ± 1.05 kg/day, respectively; P < 0.01). The protein content in milk was higher in the Tannin treatment than in the Control treatment (3.20 ± 0.01% and 3.04 ± 0.01%; respectively; P < 0.01). The results of this study suggested that tannin extract from Acacia mearnsii can attenuate heat stress and its negative effects on animal production.

ABSTRACT: Seafood is one of the most important sources of nutrients. However, they have a short shelf-life and the traditional preservation methods may generate losses in their natural flavour and nutrients. Thisstudy evaluated and optimize the High Pressure Processing (HPP) regarding pressure level (200-400 MPa) and holding time (0-5 min) applied to lion’s paw scallop (Nodipecten nodosus) to reduce microbial contamination while maintaining desirable characteristics. Response surface methodology with a Box-Behnken design and Desirability function were employed to simultaneously optimize these quality attributes. HPP enhanced microbial quality at 200 MPa/5 min, despite promoting inadequate physical-chemical modifications in the adductor muscle of the scallop. In such processing condition, in spite of a slight increase in muscle humidity which could be of benefit, pH increase was also verified, as well as a decrease in water holding capacity (WHC). At more severe level (400 MPa/5 min), a decrease in the shear force related to instrumental texture and in Whiteness (W) and Luminosity (L*) related to color was observed. Simultaneous optimization provided a value of 365MPa / 2min where physicochemical characteristics would be the more similar to the scallop without facing a preservation process.

Resumo O estudo investiga a associação entre o contexto escolar e a ocorrência de múltiplos parceiros entre adolescentes, considerando as variáveis individuais. Estudo transversal com análise multinível, realizado no período de fevereiro a junho de 2018 com estudantes de 14 a 19 anos. A variável desfecho (múltiplos parceiros sexuais) foi coletada com base no questionário Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). As variáveis do contexto escolar foram tempo na escola (escola regular vs escola integral/semi-integral) e índice de vulnerabilidade social (IVS) do bairro onde a escola está localizada. De 2.500 participantes, 1.044 foram analisados por serem sexualmente ativos. A maioria dos adolescentes (63,89%) teve dois ou mais parceiros. Estudantes de escola regular (mínimo de 4h diárias) tiveram mais chances (OR 1.47, IC 1.10-1.97) de terem múltiplos parceiros sexuais quando comparados àqueles de escola integral/semi-integral (mínimo de 7h diárias). Porém, não houve associação em relação ao IVS dos bairros das escolas (OR 1.18, IC 0.82-1.70). Maior tempo na escola esteve associado a menor chance de múltiplos parceiros sexuais, enquanto estudar em escolas localizadas em bairro de alta vulnerabilidade não esteve associado à ocorrência de múltiplos parceiros sexuais entre adolescentes.
Childhood and adolescence in mental health policy: an analysis through health counselors and conferences
Authors: Cubas João Mário , Bonamigo Victoria Grassi , Alvarenga Rodrigo , Carvalho Deborah Ribeiro
Published: May 2024

Abstract This qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory documentary and field research aimed to analyze how children and adolescents are included in the formulation of public mental health policies. The document analysis database consisted of reports from Health Conferences (national, state, and municipal), minutes of meetings of the Health Council (national, state, and municipal), and memories of the Thematic Commission on Mental Health (state and municipal). Nine counselors or former health counselors participated in this study through an individual interview with a semi-structured script. Furthermore, the theoretical framework for the analysis of this research was based on the communicative action of Jürgen Habermas. The themes that emerged from the documentary research included the guidelines for intersectoral processes, as well as the expansion of beds for children and adolescents. In addition, the interviews indicated the lack of discussion on the subject, predominance of the punitive perspective, and need for a broader debate. The lack of intersubjective spaces for democratic listening compromises communicative action, resulting in the invisibility of children and adolescents in the policy formulation process and reduced opportunities for participation and social control.

Abstract This article aims to evaluate the association between birth weight and asthma in adulthood, estimated by employing structural equation modeling. Cohort study with 1,958 participants aged 23-25 years from Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. Standardized questionnaires were applied and pulmonary function evaluated, including bronchial reactivity with methacholine. A theoretical model was proposed to explore the effects of birth weight and asthma in adulthood. Asthma, socioeconomic status at birth (Birth SES), and current socioeconomic status (Adult SES) were obtained by constructs. Maternal age, sex, skin color, body mass index (BMI), smoking, parental asthma history, history of respiratory infection before five years old, history of hospitalization for lung disease before two years old, and atopy were the studied variables. 14.1% of participants were diagnosed with asthma. Birth weight was associated with asthma (Standardized Coefficient - SCtotal=-0.110; p=0.030), and an indirect effect was also observed (SCindirect=-0.220; p=0.037), mediated by hospitalization before two years and respiratory infection before five years. Lower birth weight showed an increased risk of asthma in adulthood and the SES Birth and Adult SES variables underlie this association.

Abstract This article aims to present growth curves for height, weight, and BMI of 95,000 Brazilian youths aged 6 to 17 years, including the five regions of the country, the Amazon region, and indigenous populations, and compare them with the World Health Organization (WHO) growth references. The final sample consisted of 52,729 boys and 42,731 girls from the “Projeto Esporte Brasil” database. Body mass and height information were used to derive the curves. The generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape was employed. In this study, we present smoothed weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age curves for boys and girls. Differences were observed between the results of the Brazilian curves and the WHO growth references. The developed curves will be valuable for professionals in medicine, public health, nutrition, physical education, and other related fields, regarding the assessment of physical growth in Brazilian children and adolescents and monitoring the nutritional status of this population. Additionally, these curves will facilitate the identification of individuals or subgroups at risk of diseases and delayed growth, with a greater focus on specific country-related factors.

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar a associação entre o reconhecimento de uma fonte usual do cuidado de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) e o acesso aos serviços de APS, entre adolescentes brasileiros. Estudo transversal, a partir da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar realizada com 68.968 adolescentes brasileiros, através de amostragem por conglomerados. Foram realizadas análises descritivas através do χ2 de Pearson e a razão de prevalência (RP) através dos modelos de regressão logística entre acesso aos serviços de APS e o reconhecimento da FUC APS. Dos adolescentes que procuraram os serviços de APS, 74,6% referiram acesso, sendo a maior do sexo feminino (79,3%). Na análise multivariada, observa-se associação positiva (RP: 1,25; IC95%: 1,24-1,26), e na estratificado por sexo, observou-se associações positivas para ambos os sexos, (RP: 1,30; IC95%: 1,28-1,31) masculino e (RP: 1,21; IC95%: 1,20-1,23) feminino. Verifica-se que a maioria dos adolescentes brasileiros que têm a APS como sua FUC conseguiram acessar os serviços de APS, apesar de que, a falta de acesso foram mais frequentes entre os mais vulneráveis economicamente e devido a comportamentos de risco, indicando iniquidades potencialmente evitáveis por meio de uma APS mais efetiva e longitudinal.
Health care of sexual partners of adolescents with gestational syphilis and their children: an integrative review

Published: May 2024

Abstract Gestational syphilis (GS) in adolescents is a challenge for Brazilian public health, with high incidence rates. Testing, diagnosis and treatment of sexual partners is essential to interrupt the chain of transmission, but since 2017 it is no longer a criterion for the proper treatment of pregnant women. We sought to analyze and synthesize the knowledge produced about the health care of sexual partners of adolescents with GS in Brazil. We carried out a systematic review in the BVS, SciELO and PubMed databases, selecting articles that addressed GS and/or congenital syphilis (CS) in adolescents aged 15 to 19 years and that included information about sexual partners. Forty-one articles were comprehensively analyzed using the WebQDA software and classified into two categories: a) Approach to sexual partners during prenatal care, and b) The role of sexual partners in the transmission cycle of GS and CS. The studies show that the partner’s approach is deficient, with a lack of data on the sociodemographic profile and information on testing and treatment. In the context of Primary Health Care, there are no studies that address factors inherent to the context of vulnerability of sexual partners in relation to coping with syphilis.

Resumo A prevenção de riscos e agravos à saúde dos trabalhadores nos hospitais deve ser foco dos gestores, pois contribui para a qualidade de vida no trabalho e a segurança do paciente. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender a atividade de prevenção de riscos e agravos à saúde dos trabalhadores no contexto hospitalar, a partir das contradições históricas e empíricas do sistema de atividade. Estudo qualitativo exploratório, ancorado na Teoria da Atividade Histórico-Cultural, desenvolvido em um hospital universitário do estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram coletados entre setembro de 2021 e janeiro de 2022 por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com nove profissionais do Serviço Especializado em Engenharia de Segurança e Medicina do Trabalho e cinco gestores do hospital; 20 horas de observação de campo; e análise documental. Apesar da expansão do objeto da atividade de prevenção, os demais elementos do sistema de atividade não se adaptaram às novas exigências, evoluindo com incompatibilidades e contradições que comprometeram o alcance dos resultados esperados. As principais ações de resposta observadas ficaram centradas em adequações a exigências de itens de normas, como composição de equipe, exames médicos e outras que pouco atuam na promoção e proteção da saúde.

Abstract The school is fundamental for the development of societies and caring for the student is part of the educational process. Reflections on collective health allowed the expansion of the vision of the concept of quality of life considering different social spaces and indicators. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess of some psychometric Properties of the Quality of Life in School instrument into Brazilian Portuguese (QoLS-BR) among elementary school students. The processes of translation, content evaluation, focus group and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were carried out. Reproducibility analysis was performed by administering QoLS-BR to 30 students. The sample used for Internal Consistency and CFA comprised 434 students with a mean age of 12.31 years. High indices of language clarity, practical relevance, theoretical relevance, internal consistency, and reproducibility were obtained. In the AFC, adjustments were not necessary in the QoLS-BR model with four factors (RMSEA=0.065; TLI=0.959; CFI=0.962; SRMR=0.080) indicating that the indices were adequate when investigating all four domains. QoLS-BR has adequate psychometric indicators for investigating the quality of life in school.

Published: May 2024

Resumo As complexidades referidas na busca pela “exatidão” no diagnóstico da fibrose cística (FC) apontam para reflexões em torno de “o que é preciso” na atual conjuntura da “medicina de precisão”. Analisamos os discursos de 19 atores sociais pertencentes à comunidade de especialistas na fibrose cística, explorando as acepções semânticas do vocábulo “precisão” e as barreiras ao diagnóstico e às inovações na terapêutica. Adotamos a análise crítica do discurso de Norman Fairclough a fim de alcançar as construções discursivas em torno da integralidade do cuidado, da garantia e oferta equitativa dos básicos sociais. O acesso foi identificado como categoria êmica quando nas arenas sociais de disputa estão as necessidades de saúde e o direito à vida.
A territorialidade da alta complexidade na Região Metropolitana de Belém, Brasil: a saúde especializada é subsidiada pelo SUS?
Authors: Godoy Claudiana Viana , Rocha Gilberto de Miranda
Published: May 2024

Resumo O artigo apresenta uma análise sobre a atuação da rede de atenção especializada do SUS, com a delimitação dos serviços de média e de alta complexidade da rede hospitalar dos municípios que compõem a Região Metropolitana de Belém. A discussão se fundamenta na revisão dos dados secundários captados na plataforma do DATASUS e disponibilizados no Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde do Brasil (CNES) até janeiro de 2022. Constatou-se que a territorialidade da alta complexidade é formada majoritariamente pela rede privada, contudo a capacidade de atendimento da rede SUS sobrepôs à oferta direcionada ao atendimento não universal, em razão da ampla reserva de serviços privados ao convênio SUS, na qual os hospitais filantrópicos apresentaram maior disposição à demanda universal. Em contrapartida, a ampla presença do Estado nos serviços de alta complexidade não deve ser pensada como uma cobertura universal, devido ao fato de as formas de acesso a esses serviços apresentarem filtros de natureza jurídico-institucional, ou, em outras palavras, o que o SUS denomina de hospitais de portas abertas ou fechadas.

Objetivo: evaluar la asociación entre diferentes formas de traumas en la infancia y depresión posparto en puérperas brasileñas. Método: en este estudio transversal se incluyó a 253 puérperas que fueron evaluadas con la Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale y el Childhood Trauma Questionnaire . Se realizaron análisis de regresión logística multivariados para verificar la asociación de diferentes tipos de trauma y la coocurrencia de formas de abuso y negligencia con la depresión posparto. Resultados: se identificó depresión posparto en 93 mujeres (36,8%; intervalo de confianza del 95%: 30,8-42,7). Todas las formas de traumas en la infancia que se evaluaron (abuso emocional, negligencia emocional, abuso físico, negligencia física y abuso sexual) estuvieron asociadas de manera independiente con la depresión posparto después de ajustar por variables de confusión. El abuso emocional siguió estando asociado con la depresión posparto cuando se analizó la coocurrencia de todas las formas de traumas en la infancia. Conclusión: los resultados sugieren una asociación entre las diferentes formas de traumas en la infancia y la depresión posparto. En este sentido, los traumas en la infancia son un indicador para que los profesionales de Enfermería detecten factores de riesgo para la depresión posparto en los controles obstétricos.

Abstract Variability in snake venom composition is well-documented and crucial for understanding snake ecology and predicting snakebites. In this study, we characterize the venom composition and biological activities of newborn female and male Bothrops moojeni and their mother. Our results reveal significant differences between the venom of newborn females and males, demonstrating a broad and diverse range of proteins. The venoms of newborn females showed higher serine protease effects, increased hemorrhagic activity, and greater lethality compared to the venom of newborn males. However, no differences were observed in phospholipase A2 and coagulant activity. The differences in protein composition and toxic activities between maternal and neonatal venom, as well as between the venoms of newborn females and males, contribute to understanding the diverse outcomes of snakebites. These results underscore the importance of considering sex and ontogeny in understanding venom composition in snakes.

Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown in many countries around the world with different climatic conditions and a huge number of environmental stresses, both biotic (fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects) and abiotic (cold, drought, salinity) limit rice productivity. In this regard, breeders and scientists are trying to create rice lines that are resistant to multiple stresses. The aim of this work was to screen and select cold and blast resistant rice breeding lines (RBLs) using molecular markers. Molecular screening of RBLs and parental varieties to cold tolerance was carried out using markers RM24545, RM1377, RM231 and RM569 associated with QTLs (qPSST-3, qPSST-7, qPSST-9). It was discovered that the presence of three QTLs characterizes the cold resistance of studied genotypes, and the absence of one of them leads to cold sensitivity. As a result, 21 cold-resistant out of the 28 studied RBLs were identified. These cold resistant 21 RBLs were further tested to blast resistance using markers Pi-ta, Pita3, Z56592, 195R-1, NMSMPi9-1, TRS26, Pikh MAS, MSM6, 9871.T7E2b, RM224 and RM1233. It was revealed that 16 RBLs from 21 studied lines contain 5-6 blast resistance genes. In accordance with the blast resistance strategy, the presence of 5 or more genes ensures the formation of stable resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae. Thus, 16 lines resistant to multiple stresses, such as cold and blast disease were developed. It should be noted that 6 of these selected lines are high-yielding, which is very important in rice breeding program. These RBLs can be used in breeding process as starting lines, germplasm exchange as a source of resistant genes for the development of new rice varieties resistant to multiple stress factors.

Abstract Fairs of family farming on agroecological bases are direct sales channels of great importance for local supply. Thus, it is essential to devise ways to evaluate and monitor their evolution. In the present case study, a methodology was applied to analyze commercialization at the Family Agriculture Fair (FAF) held at the Seropédica Campus of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). The objective of this study was to analyze gross sales and the seasonality of the supply and demand of products in the FAF, relate these factors to agroecological production in the Baixada Fluminense, and both demonstrate and understand the relationships among the supply, prices and sales of products. A literature review was conducted on the short circuit and commercialization forms of family farming, and data from 1,664 marketing reports, self-completed by market traders from 2017 to 2019, were analyzed. The results allow us to conclude that (i) the stallholders farmers at FAF are not mere price takers; (ii) gross sales are influenced by the seasonality of demand and supply; (iii) the effects of seasonality have an impact on supply and sales but are reduced with low price volatility; and (iv) the offers are diversified, and the items have close substitutes within the same product category.
