Anika Stroganov and russia n regional art of the 16th century
Authors: Voroshin S.
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the personality of Anika Fedorovich Stroganov, the entrepreneur and philanthropist, who formed the foundations of the conduct of commercial and industrial affairs, ktitor and art patronage activities of the dynasty. To understand the factors that influenced his worldview and were reflected in the art of the Late Middle Ages, the author chose the theory of identity, which determines the involvement of a person in certain areas of culture. In the course of the study, the author identified historical figures who, by their example, influenced the formation and development of Anika Fedorovich. The author make an attempt to identified those character traits that led to the success of the family not only in commercial and industrial activities, but also in the patronage of art. The material capital and spiritual baggage formed by Anika Stroganov became the foundation for the prosperity and cultural development of many subsequent generations. The article reveals preconditions of humanistic ideals, characteristic of subsequent representatives of the dynasty and who found their expression in the art they support.

Authors: Salas-Rueda Ricardo-Adán , RamÃ­rez-Ortega Jesús
Published: March 2021

The objective of this mixed research is to analyze the impact of flipped classroom in the educational process on the Combinational Circuits through data science and machine learning. Flipped classroom facilitates the organization of active activities before, during and after the class. The participants are 17 students of Electronic Electrical Engineering who took the Digital Design course in the National Autonomous University of Mexico during the 2019 school year. The results of machine learning indicate that the consultation of the videos before the class, resolution of the exercises during the class through the Quartus software and realization of the laboratory practices after the class positively influence the development of skills on circuit design. Data science identifies 3 predictive models of the use of flipped classroom through the decision tree technique. Finally, teachers can improve the learning process, develop the skills of students, build new educational spaces and carry out creative activities through flipped classroom.

Published: March 2021

The perception of our surrounding environment is an amalgamation of stimuli detected by sensory neurons. InCaenorhabditis elegans, olfaction is an essential behavior that determines various behavioral functions such as locomotion, feeding and development. Sensory olfactory cues also initiate downstream neuroendocrine signaling that controls aging, learning, development and reproduction. Innate sensory preferences toward odors (food, pathogens) and reproductive pheromones are modulated by 11 pairs of amphid chemosensory neurons in the head region ofC. elegans. Amongst these sensory neurons, the ASI neuron has neuroendocrine functions and secretes neuropeptides, insulin-like peptide (DAF-28) and the TGF-β protein, DAF-7. Its expression levels are modulated by the presence of food (increased levels) and population density (decreased levels). A recent study has shown that EXP-1, an excitatory GABA receptor regulates DAF-7/TGF-β levels and participates in DAF-7/TGF-β-mediated behaviors such as aggregation and bordering. Here, we show thatexp-1mutants show defective responses toward AWC-sensed attractive odors in a non-autonomous manner through ASI neurons. Our dauer experiments reveal that indaf-7mutants, ASI expressed EXP-1 and STR-2 (a G-protein-coupled receptor; GPCR) that partially maintained reproductive growth of animals. Further, studies suggest that neuronal connections between ASI and AWC neurons are allowed at least partially through ASI secreted DAF-7 or through alternate TGF- β pathway/s regulated by EXP-1 and STR-2. Together, our behavioral, genetic and imaging experiments propose that EXP-1 and STR-2 integrate food cues and allow the animals to display DAF-7/TGF-β neuroendocrine dependent or independent behavioral responses contributing to chemosensensory and developmental plasticity.

Excessive inflammation within the CNS is injurious, but an immune response is also required for regeneration. Macrophages and microglia adopt different properties depending on their microenvironment, and exposure to IL4 and IL13 has been used to elicit repair. Unexpectedly, while LPS-exposed macrophages and microglia killed neural cells in culture, the addition of LPS to IL4/IL13-treated macrophages and microglia profoundly elevated IL10, repair metabolites, heparin binding epidermal growth factor trophic factor, antioxidants, and matrix-remodeling proteases. In C57BL/6 female mice, the generation of M(LPS/IL4/IL13) macrophages required TLR4 and MyD88 signaling, downstream activation of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/mTOR and MAP kinases, and convergence on phospho-CREB, STAT6, and NFE2. Following mouse spinal cord demyelination, local LPS/IL4/IL13 deposition markedly increased lesional phagocytic macrophages/microglia, lactate and heparin binding epidermal growth factor, matrix remodeling, oligodendrogenesis, and remyelination. Our data show that a prominent reparative state of macrophages/microglia is generated by the unexpected integration of pro- and anti-inflammatory activation cues. The results have translational potential, as the LPS/IL4/IL13 mixture could be locally applied to a focal CNS injury to enhance neural regeneration and recovery.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT
The combination of LPS and regulatory IL4 and IL13 signaling in macrophages and microglia produces a previously unknown and particularly reparative phenotype devoid of pro-inflammatory neurotoxic features. The local administration of LPS/IL4/IL13 into spinal cord lesion elicits profound oligodendrogenesis and remyelination. The careful use of LPS and IL4/IL13 mixture could harness the known benefits of neuroinflammation to enable repair in neurologic insults.

Personal Maturity and Its Reflections in Conceptual Lithuanian Education Documents
Authors: Miseliūnaitė Brigita , Cibulskas Gintautas
Published: March 2021

The 2019 guidelines for the renewal of general education programs in Lithuania state that there is a lack of coherence between the goals of education, the implementation of the curriculum, and the assessment of students’ achievements. The description of Lithuanian primary, basic and secondary education (2015) states that the main result of education is the gradually acquired competencies indicating the spiritual, intellectual and physical maturity of a person, which include knowledge, understanding, abilities and attitudes. This presupposes that state maturity exams should be designed to reflect the competencies, knowledge, understanding, abilities and attitudes that indicate a person’s maturity. Based on this idea, a qualitative study was conducted in 2020. Its aim was to determine the indicators of personal maturity in Lithuanian conceptual educational documents. To achieve the research goal, we applied the data collection method (document analysis) and the data processing method (content analysis). Qualitative research has shown that a person’s maturity in Lithuania is identified based on a set of competencies. To complete their general education, students should have the following competencies: social, emotional and healthy lifestyles; cognition; creativity; civil, cultural communication. A review of the scientific literature presupposes that at the stage of late adolescent personality development, a person is yet to be in search of their identity. The documents emphasize that competencies are assessed in teacher-student interactions by accumulating qualitative evidence of competencies. Meanwhile state maturity exams measure three groups of cognitive abilities: knowledge and understanding, application of knowledge, and advanced thinking abilities. Personal values and beliefs are not reflected in state maturity exams. The conclusion of the research is that maturity exams do not reflect the maturity of a person described in the conceptual documents of Lithuanian education.

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of garlic oil (GO) and tartaric acid (TA) on microbiological, pH, and Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) (lipid peroxidation) of shrimp stored at 4°C. Shrimp of 2 kg were dipped in GO and TA solutions at 1:2 shrimp/treatment solutions (w/w) for 30 mins under 25ºC. Sodium metabisulfite (MBS) and sterile distilled water (dH20) were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Shrimp were drip-dried for 5 mins, packaged, and stored in a chiller (4°C) for 10 days. The shrimp were analysed on days 0, 3, 5, 7, and 10. Total aerobic plate count, psychotropic bacteria count, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus counts ranged from 3.52-8.73 log CFU/g, <3.30-5.16 log CFU/g, 3.48-7.60 log CFU/g, 3.42-6.34 log CFU/g and 3.48-5.55 log CFU/g, respectively. The pH of shrimp ranged from 6.64 to 8.03. The pH of shrimp dipped in MBS (7.70) and TA+GO (7.70) was lowest at the end of storage period. TBARS values ranged from 0.70-2.66 and TBARS values for shrimp treated with MBS (1.83) were lowest at day 10. In general, microbiological counts, pH and TBARS values of sample treated with TA+GO increased with storage time, however comparable to MBS. Treatment of shrimp with GO and TA could inhibit the growth of foodborne pathogens. The pH of the test and control shrimp were similar on day 10. Lipid peroxidation was lowest for TA and MBS treated shrimp by day 10.

The support concept is trying to embrace common elements of upbringing and education. The relationship between the supporting person and supported person is explored by the anthropology. It emphasizes a strong “spiritual self ” and the inner experiences of the individual. However, there is lack of sufficient documentation of the best contemporary practices in this field. The support term the most common occurs in social pedagogy. Today, it is sup-ported by the social work at school and pedagogical therapy. Teaching support becomes a teaching method – emphasizes comparative pedagogy. The peda-gogy of creativity indicates that creative interests and intellectual curiosity of an ill child can be developed by a teaching content. The original ideas can always come to mind, even in disease.
Time-famine, resource obsession and the good life in a pandemic
Authors: Root Andrew
Published: March 2021

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper explores the argument that human action cannot be understood apart from embodied imaginations of what is good and of what it means to be living a good life. Drawing particularly on the thought of the sociologist Hartmut Rosa, it explores how COVID-19 relates to the concept of ‘time-famine’, and how this thrusts many of us into a crisis of the good life. From this exploration the paper offers some open and preliminary thoughts about what impact this crisis of time and the good life has on local congregations.This paper is adapted from chapter 12 of The Congregation in the Secular Age: Keeping Sacred Time Against the Speed of Modern Life by Andrew Root © 2021 Baker Academic, a division of Baker Publishing Group http://bakerpublishinggroup.com/ and is used by kind permission of the publisher.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT Background: Azathioprine is a common first-line therapy for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether long-term treatment (>10 years) with azathioprine is safe in NMOSD. Methods: We conducted a retrospective medical record review of all patients at the School of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil) who fulfilled the 2015 international consensus diagnostic criteria for NMOSD and were treated with azathioprine for at least 10 years. Results: Out of 375 patients assessed for eligibility, 19 were included in this analysis. These patients’ median age was 44 years (range=28-61); they were mostly female (17/19) and AQP4-IgG seropositive (18/19). The median disease duration was 15 years (range=10-39) and most patients presented a relapsing clinical course (84.2%). The median duration of treatment was 11.9 years (range=10.0-23.8). The median annualized relapse rates (ARR) pre- and post-treatment with azathioprine were 1 (range=0.1-2) and 0.1 (range=0-0.35); p=0.09. Three patients (15.7%) had records of adverse events during the follow-up, which consisted of chronic B12 vitamin deficiency, pulmonary tuberculosis and breast cancer. Conclusion: Azathioprine may be considered a safe agent for long-term treatment (>10 years) of NMOSD, but continuous vigilance for infections and malignancies is required.

Published: March 2021

This work sought to adapt the Perceived Community Support Questionnaire (PCSQ) to the Brazilian context, gathering evidence of its factorial structure and internal consistency. Two studies were performed. The first comprised 119 individuals aged between 21 and 85 years (M = 41.59, SD = 15.33) with incomplete elementary education (52.1%). An exploratory factor analysis was conducted and indicated a three-factor structure, explaining 42.3% of the total variance. The second study comprised 203 participants aged between 19 and 84 years (M = 42.99, SD = 12.70) with higher education (17.2%). The three-factor structure was corroborated by a confirmatory factor analysis (CFI = 0.944, TLI = 0.931, RMSEA = 0.088, 90%CI: 0.072; 0.103), and Cronbach’s alpha was adequate. Questionnaire dimensions were named Community Integration, Community Participation, and Community Organizations. Despite the issues involving inverted items, the instrument gathered evidence of factorial validity and internal consistency, showing applicability to further studies.
Consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados reduz a qualidade global da dieta de gestantes
Authors: Graciliano Nayara Gomes , Silveira Jonas Augusto Cardoso da , Oliveira Alane Cabral Menezes de
Published: March 2021

Este trabalho analisou a contribuição dos alimentos ultraprocessados (AUP) no perfil alimentar e nutricional da dieta de gestantes. Trata-se de um estudo transversal conduzido com uma amostra representativa de gestantes usuárias de unidades básicas de saúde de Maceió, Alagoas, Brasil. O consumo alimentar foi avaliado pela aplicação de dois recordatórios de 24 horas em dias não consecutivos e os itens de consumo agrupados segundo a classificação NOVA. As estimativas gerais foram expressas no consumo alimentar absoluto (média de ingestão calórica) e relativo (percentual da ingestão energética total segundo grupos de alimentos e itens de consumo). Análises de variâncias foram utilizadas para comparar as médias do consumo energético e de nutrientes, segundo grupos alimentares. A associação entre os quintis de contribuição energética dos AUP (variável de exposição) e (1) itens de consumo e grupos alimentares, (2) contribuição percentual para o total de energia de macronutrientes e (3) densidade de micronutrientes foi analisada por meio de modelos ajustados de regressão linear. O consumo médio de energia das gestantes foi de 1.966,9Kcal/dia, sendo 22% proveniente dos AUP. Observou-se relação direta entre a contribuição energética dos AUP na dieta e o consumo energético total (β = 228,78Kcal; EP = 21,26). Ainda, o aumento da participação de AUP implicou a redução estatisticamente significativa da ingestão de proteínas, fibras, magnésio, ferro, pótassio, zinco, selênio, folato e vitaminas D e E, assim como o consumo de alimentos tradicionais, como arroz, feijão, raízes e tubérculos. Portanto, nossos dados apontam que o consumo de AUP reduz a qualidade global (nutricional e alimentar) da dieta de gestantes.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a evolução temporal da taxa de mortalidade fetal (TMF) e a contribuição da investigação para a melhoria da definição da causa básica do óbito fetal no Município de São Paulo, Brasil, segundo local de emissão da declaração de óbito. Na abordagem ecológica, analisou-se a tendência da TMF por estrato de peso (< 2.500g e ≥ 2.500g) e óbitos totais no Município de São Paulo entre 2007-2017. Utilizou-se a regressão linear generalizada de Prais-Winsten. No estudo de casos, foram analisadas as causas básicas de óbito fetal de 2012 a 2014, antes e após a investigação, o tempo de conclusão da investigação e a redefinição da causa básica por tipo de atestante. Houve tendência de aumento (1,5% ao ano) da TMF dos óbitos com < 2.500g e de redução (-1,3% ao ano) naqueles com ≥ 2.500g. Os óbitos totais apresentaram tendência estacionária. Entre 2012-2014, cerca de 90% dos óbitos com ≥ 2.500g foram investigados. Após a investigação, houve redefinição da causa básica de morte em 15% dos casos, e a morte fetal não especificada (P95) representou 25% das causas de óbito. A proporção mais elevada de alteração da causa de morte ocorreu nos casos cuja Declaração de Óbito foi emitida pelos serviços de verificação de óbito (17%), ao passo que nos serviços de saúde foi de 10,6%. Concluiu-se que a TMF dos óbitos com ≥ 2.500g apresentou tendência de redução. Houve redefinição significativa das causas básicas, sobretudo naquelas atestadas pelo serviços de verificação de óbito. Entretanto, foi insuficiente para ampliar a proporção de causas de morte que permitissem maior compreensão das condições de mortalidade.

Published: March 2021

Las investigaciones recientes sobre la COVID-19 se han centrado en los efectos de esta pandemia en la salud pública, así como en los controles de bioseguridad y sus implicaciones socioeconómicas. El presente estudio mixto aporta una nueva mirada acerca del tema, combinando estrategias cualitativas y cuantitativas para identificar las representaciones sociales de la recepción mediática, en un sector de la población en Colombia, durante la cuarentena por la COVID-19. Los resultados indican que estas representaciones son diversas y están asociadas con el canal mediático y la afectación que produce la recepción en el estado de ánimo y la salud mental. En total, se realizaron 80 entrevistas y 1.068 encuestas online en diferentes regiones de Colombia. En la fase cualitativa se encontró que los programas o mensajes recibidos fueron representados positivamente, cuando provienen de la recepción de entretenimiento audiovisual y contribuye a la unidad familiar y a reducir el estrés en la cuarentena. De modo contrario, la recepción mediática fue representada negativamente, cuando los mensajes o noticias recibidas provienen del periodismo o las redes sociales y aumenta la desinformación, la angustia y el miedo al contagio. En la fase cuantitativa se encontró que la recepción mediática disminuyó a medida que trascurría la cuarentena, debido a la sobresaturación informativa y a la proliferación de noticias que enfatizan los riesgos de la COVID-19. Los resultados revelan la necesidad de enfocar la comunicación en salud al desarrollo de habilidades informacionales que permitan a la ciudadanía aprender a evaluar la veracidad y relevancia de la información recibida en la pandemia.

En 10 hogares se realizó una reevaluación. Se evaluaron variables epidemiológicas y clínicas; y su asociación con el resultado a la prueba serológica rápida (presencia de IgG, IgM o ambas). En 40 hogares se encontraron casos secundarios, lo que representa un 49,9% de identificación en promedio por hogar. Se encontró una tasa de ataque secundaria entre cohabitantes de 53% (125 casos), siendo sintomáticos un 77,6% de casos (razón sintomáticos/asintomáticos: 3,5). La presencia de fiebre y/o escalofríos se encontró en el 40% de las personas con resultado positivo, seguido del dolor de garganta en el 39,2%. La ageusia y anosmia estuvieron presentes en el 22,4% y 20,8% de los casos, respectivamente. Al tener un caso primario de COVID-19 en el hogar, la tasa de ataque secundaria de esta infección es de 53%; sin embargo, en una proporción importante de hogares evaluados no hubo un caso positivo, más allá del caso primario. Las características epidemiológicas y clínicas encontradas en este caso estuvieron acorde a lo ya reportado en otras series internacionales.

A pandemia de coronavírus que atingiu o mundo no final de 2019 segue batendo recordes de novos casos e óbitos relacionados à doença. As orientações para o manejo clínico dos pacientes infectados e a prevenção de novos casos estão centradas nas medidas de controle dos sintomas, hábitos de higiene, isolamento social e diminuição da aglomeração de pessoas. Tal fato forçou uma mudança no modo como os serviços de saúde prestam cuidados, protagonizando a incorporação de novas tecnologias em saúde. Assim, este Ensaio objetiva compilar e analisar algumas experiências de uso das tecnologias digitais em saúde, para minimizar os impactos da COVID-19. Identificou-se o desenvolvimento de soluções tecnológicas de manejo clínico do paciente, diagnóstico por imagem, uso de inteligência artificial para análise de riscos, aplicativos de geolocalização, ferramentas para análise de dados e relatórios, autodiagnóstico e, inclusive, de orientação à tomada de decisão. A grande maioria das iniciativas listadas tem sido eficaz na minimização dos impactos da COVID-19 nos sistemas de saúde, de modo que visa à diminuição da aglomeração de pessoas e assim facilita o acesso aos serviços, bem como contribui para a incorporação de novas práticas e modos de cuidar, em saúde.

Resumen Se realizó un estudio de caso de varias configuraciones de modelos de pronóstico numérico para evaluar la habilidad de los mismos en el pronóstico de la intensidad y trayectoria de los ciclones tropicales. Para ello se seleccionaron 4 configuraciones del dominio de cómputo con 27-9 y 18-6 km de resolución para el HWRF (Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model) y 4 configuraciones para el WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting Model), empleando el núcleo dinámico NMM (Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model) con la opción de seguimiento de vórtice. Se realizaron las simulaciones correspondientes al huracán Irma desde el 1ro al 12 de septiembre del 2017 inicializadas con salidas de pronóstico del GFS (Global Forecast System). En la evaluación realizada no se observaron diferencias notables entre las 8 configuraciones, aunque fue deficiente el pronóstico de la intensidad del huracán Irma, con un error en el pronóstico de la velocidad máxima del viento superior a los 50 km/h. La comparación de las salidas de cada configuración con los registros de las boyas y estaciones meteorológicas de superficie evidenció que el comportamiento de las variables viento y presión atmosférica tiene una tendencia similar a los valores registrados en las estaciones, con errores inferiores a los 3.8 m/s para la velocidad del viento y 3 hPa para la presión atmosférica. La configuración que mostró mejor habilidad para el pronóstico de ciclones tropicales fue HWRF_18-6-m (referida al modelo y la resolución horizontal empleada), aunque es la que más capacidad de cómputo requiere.

ABSTRACT: This study showed the effect of feed restriction on performance, nitrogen balance (NB), microbial protein synthesis, carcass traits and meat cut of the thirty-two Sindhi non-castrated males (296 ± 21.3 kg initial BW and 21 ± 1.5 months old). All bulls were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments (feed restriction levels) (0, 15, 30, and 45% in total dry matter -DM) and the data were subjected to analysis of variance and regression. Nutrient intake, NB, final BW, total gain, feeding efficiency, carcass gain, hot and cold carcass weight, subcutaneous fat thickness, commercial cuts and fat tissue decreased linearly (P<0.05) by feed restriction level. A linear increased on digestibility of DM, NDFap, total carbohydrates and on the proportion of muscle tissue, as well as quadratic increase on non-fibrous carbohydrates and bone tissue percentage with the restriction level imposed on bulls (P<0.05). The feed restriction did not affect (P>0.05) the digestibility of crude protein, synthesis and microbial efficiency, deposition efficiency, longissimus dorsi area and muscle + fat/bone ratio. The feed restriction reduced intake and consequently performance, carcass traits and meat cuts of Sindhi bulls; however, it promoted a reduction in the N excretion, which can be important if conducted a subsequent compensatory weight gain.

ABSTRACT: In multi-environment trials (MET), large networks are assessed for results improvement. However, genotype by environment interaction plays an important role in the selection of the most adaptable and stable genotypes in MET framework. In this study, we tested different residual variances and measure the selection gain of cotton genotypes accounting for adaptability and stability, simultaneously. Twelve genotypes of cotton were bred in 10 environments, and fiber length (FL), fiber strength (FS), micronaire (MIC), and fiber yield (FY) were determined. Model selection for different residual variance structures (homogeneous and heterogeneous) was tested using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The variance components were estimated through restricted maximum likelihood and genotypic values were predicted through best linear unbiased prediction. The harmonic mean of relative performance of genetic values (HMRPGV) were applied for simultaneous selection for adaptability, stability, and yield. According to BIC heterogeneous residual variance was the best model fit for FY, whereas homogeneous residual variance was the best model fit for FL, FS, and MIC traits. The selective accuracy was high, indicating reliability of the prediction. The HMRPGV was capable to select for stability, adaptability and yield simultaneously, with remarkable selection gain for each trait.

ABSTRACT: Toxoplasmosis, neosporosis, and leishmaniasis are important diseases of worldwide distribution and can affect both pets and humans. Hunting dogs have been trained to hunt domestic and wild animals, which makes them more exposed to parasitic infections. The present study aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, and Leishmania spp. in hunting dogs from a rural area in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Serum samples were collected from 39 American Foxhound dogs, and the sex and age variables were recorded. Serum samples were subjected to an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) to detect antibodies. Seroprevalence was 35.9%, 15.4%, and 2.6% for Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum e Leishmania spp., respectively. There was no statistical difference between genders for these diseases (P>0.05). Results demonstrated a circulation of these protozoa in hunting dogs in a rural area of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, which can contribute to the epidemiology of these diseases.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effects of the physically effective fiber (peNDF) content on nutrient composition of the total mixed ration (TMR), orts and fecal parameters in 15 commercial beef feedlots. The particle size distribution of TMR was measured adopting Penn State Particle Size Separator (PSPS). Samples were evaluated for dry matter (DM), ash, ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and starch content. Fecal samples were also evaluated for pH and score. The feedlots were categorized into peNDF<20% and peNDF ≥ 20%. Data were analyzed by a model that included fixed effects of treatment and covariates (sex and genetic groups). Levels of DM, CP, EE and starch were lower in TMR with peNDF ≥ 20% (P<0.05). Fecal dry matter was higher and morning fecal pH was lower for TMR with peNDF<20% (P<0.05). Physically effective fiber changed nutrient levels in TMR, orts, fecal pH and DM. So, using PSPS and fecal parameters are practical and indirect tools for measuring fecal starch and assessing the effectiveness of the diet supplied to ruminants.

Resumo O uso de mídias por crianças na primeira infância está cada vez mais habitual, o que torna necessário investigar os fatores determinantes para o tempo de tela, entendido como o tempo total pelo qual a criança permanece exposta a todas as telas, incluindo televisão e mídias interativas. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e exploratório, realizado com 180 crianças, entre 24 a 42 meses de idade, alocadas em: Grupo 1, exposição à tela inferior a duas horas/dia; Grupo 2, exposição à tela igual/superior a duas horas/dia. Realizou-se análise bivariada e de regressão logística binária. Os fatores determinantes no tempo de tela estudados foram os recursos do ambiente familiar, investigado por meio do Inventário de Recursos do Ambiente Familiar; fatores socioeconômicos; estado nutricional e status do desenvolvimento infantil, mensurado pelo teste Bayley III. Como resultado verificou-se que 63% das crianças apresentaram tempo de tela superior a 2 horas/dia e que a televisão ainda é a principal responsável pela exposição das crianças às telas. Observou-se que o tempo de exposição à tela esteve positivamente associado aos recursos familiares, nível econômico e desenvolvimento da linguagem. Entretanto, apenas os dois últimos fatores explicaram o maior tempo de tela.
