Análise de laudos periciais correspondentes a vítimas de estupro em Mato Grosso do Sul
Authors: Paulino Renata Di Martini , Conceição Thelma da Silva , Decanine Daniele
Published: July 2017

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma análise comparativa de laudos oriundos do Instituto de Análise Laboratoriais Forense – IALF, pertencente à Coordenadoria Geral de Perícia do Mato Grosso do Sul em Campo Grande, a fim de observar a presença de vestígio de esperma encontrado nas vestimentas e nas coletas realizadas por meio de suabes de vítimas de estupro. Foram analisados 895 laudos do período de 2012 a 2015. Os testes estatísticos foram realizados por meio do programa Graphpad Prism 6.0 e os resultados expressos pela diferença entre as médias. A percentagem de amostras positivas oriundas dos exames realizados apenas nas vestes foi estatisticamente significante em relação aos exames realizados nos suabes (p = 0,0063), bem como os outros locais de coleta (p = 0,0031). As coletas realizadas por suabes foram as que apresentaram menor positividade para a presença de esperma, demonstrando que muito embora seja o método de coleta mais utilizado, ele não seria o mais indicado para a recuperação do material biológico. Todavia, embora tenha sido possível avaliar um número maior de amostras positivas quando havia laudo conjunto de vestes e suabes, estes não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante quando comparado às amostras de suabes sozinhas (p = 0,0528). Diante das análises, podemos concluir que o suabe sozinho não apresenta uma boa perspectiva de recuperação dos fluidos seminais. Desta forma, recomenda-se que nos casos de crimes sexuais, as vítimas, sempre que possível, devem se submeter ao exame de corpo de delito, apresentando as vestes que utilizava no momento do fato.
Croatian as a Second Language – Faculty of Teacher Education Students' Views / Hrvatski kao nematerinski jezik – recepcija studenata Učiteljskog fakulteta
Authors: Turza-Bogdan Tamara , Cvikić Lidija , Svetec Marta
Published: July 2017

AbstractToday Međimurje County has some 11,000 inhabitants belonging to the Roma national minority, with about 1,400 Roma pupils attending primary education and amounting up to 13% of the pupils in Međimurje (http://www.medjimurska-zupanija.hr/najnovije/u-predskolu-krenula-nova-generacija-ucenika-roma).Research in language and education shows that Roma pupils have insufficient or no knowledge of the Croatian language upon their enrolment into primary school.  This makes it difficult for them to attend regular classes (Cvikić, 2007; Cvikić & Petroska, 2013; Turza-Bogdan & Ciglar, 2010). The education of the pupils at such an early age depends heavily on their teachers’ competences; most of all the linguistic and teaching competences. We set out to investigate the attitudes of the Faculty of Teacher Education students on the issue of the education of Roma pupils that is carried out in Croatian, which is their second language. To investigate the issue we presented primary and preschool education students with a questionnaire prepared for the purposes of the study. The responses of the selected sample of students present their opinions and attitudes on the education of the Roma pupils, and point to the necessary increase in the future teachers’ linguistic and teaching competences.We conclude by presenting some options to improve the quality of education of primary and preschool teachers with respect to the acquisition of Croatian as a second or foreign language as its crucial element.  Key words: Croatian as a second language; Roma national minority.---SažetakU Međimurskoj županiji živi oko 11 000 pripadnika romske nacionalne manjine, a oko  1 400 učenika Roma nalazi se u sustavu osnovnoškolskog obrazovanja, što čini 13 % školske populacije Međimurja (http://www.medjimurska-zupanija.hr/najnovije/u-predskolu-krenula-nova-generacija-ucenika-roma). Učenicima romske nacionalne manjine hrvatski nije materinski jezik. Lingvistička i obrazovna istraživanja pokazuju da prilikom dolaska u školu romski učenici ne znaju ili nedovoljno znaju jezik, što im otežava praćenje cjelokupne nastave (Cvikić, 2007, Cvikić i Petroska, 2013, Turza-Bogdan i Ciglar, 2010). Način obrazovanja tih učenika u mlađoj školskoj dobi ovisi o učiteljskim kompetencijama, posebice jezičnoj i metodičkoj. Zanimalo nas je mišljenje studenata Učiteljskog fakulteta o problematici obrazovanja romskih učenika na hrvatskom kao nematerinskom jeziku. Proveden je anketni upitnik među studentima učiteljskog i odgojiteljskog studija. Odabrani studentski uzorak pokazuje mišljenje i recepciju, ali ukazuje i na mogućnosti povećanja jezičnih i metodičkih kompetencija budućih učitelja. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata predlažu se mogućnosti poboljšanja kvalitete obrazovanja učitelja i odgojitelja u odnosu na važan segment usvajanja hrvatskoga kao inoga jezika.Ključne riječi: hrvatski kao nematerinski jezik; romska nacionalna manjina.
Što, Kaj, Ča (Kajkavian Part of the System: Narration) / Što, kaj, ča (Kajkavski dio sustava: Naracija)
Authors: Kovač Emilija
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe paper investigated the relation between the modern and the traditional discourses in the area that is geographically determined as an outskirt and in which (more) affirmative aptness to tradition is taken for granted. The dynamics of generational and area/sociological (dis)continuities  lead to multiple cultural gaps, which in turn generates new ways of shaping both the cultural environment and the ways of distinctive performances within it. The Kajkavian artistic expression has been shaped as (post)modern and current in terms of poetics although it frequently appears to be subdued and tacit within the works of the Croatian literature. By means of a comparative-analytical method, the paper detected the forms of correlations of the relevant part of the recent Kajkavian production with both the traditional and the modern discourse types.Key words: imagology; intermediality; postmodern; tradition ---SažetakU radu se preispituje odnos modernog i tradicijskog izričaja u prostoru geografski definiranom kao periferija, za koji se podrazumijeva afirmativn(ij)a okrenutost tradiciji. Dinamika generacijskih i prostorno-socioloških (dis)kontinuiteta dovodi do višestrukih kulturoloških rascjepa, što generira nove načine profiliranja kulturne scene, a time i načine djelovanja. Kajkavski umjetnički izričaj profilira se kao (post)moderan i poetički aktualan, no često je nevidljiv i prešućivan unutar korpusa hrvatske književnosti. Komparativno-analitičkom metodom rad detektira oblike suodnošenja relevantnog dijela recentne kajkavske narativne produkcije i prema tradicijskom i prema modernom tipu diskursa.Ključne riječi: imagologija; intermedijalnost; postmoderno; tradicija.
Influence of Popular Culture on Character Formation in the Contemporary Croatian Children's Novel / Utjecaj popularne kulture na oblikovanje likova u suvremenom hrvatskom dječjem romanu
Authors: Kos-Lajtman Andrijana , Slunjski Kristina
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe influence of popular culture on the contemporary children's novel is multifaceted and complex, and is reflected in all levels of discourse. This paper discusses the elements and strategies of popular culture which we can observe in the contemporary Croatian children's novel (more specifically, novels published from 1970 up to the present, that is, in the period in which popular culture had a remarkable boom), which are visible in the concepts of designing novelistic characters. Through analytical insight into the characters of individual children's novels written in that period, with respect to various aspects such as complexes of world-views and ideas, linguistic habitus, social and psychological basis of characters, the child-adult opposition, the role of gender stereotypes, and determination by typical motifs of modern pop-culture practices (primarily related to urban areas as centres of entertainment and consumption), we detect the manner and extent of the influence of popular culture in the context of the modern Croatian children's novel. This is, on the one hand, considered given the general attitude of popular culture and literature for children (both older, and here thematised, contemporary) and, on the other hand, connected to postmodern determinants of contemporary social and cultural (especially literary), practices.Key words: characters; consumerism; contemporary Croatian children's novel; popular culture; postmodernism---SažetakUtjecaj popularne kulture na suvremeni dječji roman višestruk je i slojevit te se reflektira na svim diskurzivnim razinama. U radu se razmatraju elementi i strategije popularne kulture koje možemo uočiti u suvremenom hrvatskom dječjem romanu (točnije, u romanima objavljenima u razdoblju od 1970. do danas, kada je popularna kultura doživjela osobit procvat), a koji su vidljivi u koncepcijama oblikovanja romanesknih likova. Analitičkim uvidom u likove pojedinih dječjih romana nastalih u navedenom razdoblju, s obzirom na različite aspekte kao što su svjetonazorski i idejni kompleks, jezični habitus, socijalna i psihološka podloga likova, opozicija djeca – odrasli, uloga rodnih stereotipa i determiniranost tipičnim motivima suvremenih popularnokulturnih praksi (ponajprije vezanih uz urbane sredine kao središta zabave i potrošnje), detektira se način i obim utjecaja popularne kulture u kontekstu suvremenog hrvatskog dječjeg romana. Navedeno se, s jedne strane, razmatra s obzirom na generalni odnos popularne kulture i književnosti namijenjene djeci (kako starije, tako i ovdje tematizirane, suvremene) dok se, s druge strane, povezuje s postmodernim odrednicama suvremenih društvenih i kulturnih (osobito književnih) praksi.Ključne riječi: konzumerizam; likovi; popularna kultura; postmoderna; suvremeni hrvatski dječji roman.
French Children's Literature and Introduction to Reading Skills/Francuska dječja književnost i uvođenje u vještinu čitanja
Authors: Šarić Iva , Nell Vidatić Renata
Published: July 2017

AbstractIt is well known that literary texts used in teaching (both of mother tongue and foreign languages) allow the learners to develop all four language skills. Regarding the foreign languages, CEFR anticipates reading of original literary texts only at C1 and C2 levels. This paper will present the research carried out in a small and heterogeneous group (by age and by prior leaning) of preschool- and school-aged children, who were introduced to reading skills in the French language classes, for which a special teaching method was devised. The starting point of classes was based on the original children’s literature texts and informal learning stemming from everyday activities connected to family or leisure, with special accent on play, particularly because of its positive effects on children’s motivation for reading. From the teacher’s perspective, special attention was paid to the selection of children’s literature texts (with the objective not only to introduce the dominant literary, linguistic and cultural codes to the learners but also to develop a sense of relevance and joy while reading), and establishing learning objectives and outcomes. The issued evaluations showed that the classes which closely connect the decoding of text on grapho-phonemic level to literary texts and its understanding while relying on ludic activities allow the learners to acquire expected competences at a high level.Key words: French language; informal learning; ludic activities.  ---  SažetakKnjiževnoumjetnički tekst primijenjen u nastavi (kako materinskog, tako i inog) jezika, poznato je, omogućuje učenicima razvoj svih četiriju jezičnih vještina. Što se pak inih jezika tiče, ZEROJ predviđa čitanje izvornih književnoumjetničkih tekstova tek na razinama C1 i C2. U ovom će radu biti prikazno istraživanje provedeno nad malom i izrazito heterogenom skupinom (i po dobi, i po predznanju) predškolske i osnovnoškolske djece koju se uvodilo u vještinu čitanja na francuskom jeziku, što je zahtijevalo osmišljavanje posebne metode poučavanja. Polazište za nastavu bili su izvorni tekstovi dječje književnosti, a učenje informalno, dakle proizašlo iz svakodnevnih aktivnosti povezanih s obitelji ili sa slobodnim vremenom, pri čemu je poseban naglasak stavljen na igru, nadasve zbog njezina pozitivnog utjecaja na dječju motivaciju za čitanje. S nastavničke je strane pak posebna pozornost posvećena odabiru tekstova dječje književnosti (ne samo kako bi se učenike uvelo u dominantne književne, lingvističke i kulturalne kodove već i razvio osjećaj relevantnosti i veselja prilikom čitanja), kao i određivanju ciljeva i ishoda učenja. Provedene evaluacije pokazale su da nastava koja dešifiranje teksta na grafo-fonemskoj razini tijesno veže uz književnoumjetnički tekst i njegovo razumijevanje, pritom se oslanjajući na ludičke aktivnosti, omogućuje da učenici steknu očekivane kompetencije na visokoj razini.Ključne riječi: francuski jezik; informalno učenje; ludičke aktivnosti.
Student Teachers and CALL: Personal and pedagogical uses and beliefs
Authors: Cummings Hlas Anne , Conroy Kelly , Hildebrandt Susan A
Published: July 2017

The student teaching semester affords teacher candidates the chance to apply what they have learned during their teacher preparation coursework. Therefore, it can be a prime opportunity for student teachers to implement computer assisted language learning (CALL) and use technology for their own language learning. This study explores United States K-12 foreign language (FL) student teachers’ use of and beliefs about CALL technologies. Four research questions guide this study: (a) How are FL student teachers using CALL for personal language learning (if at all)? (b) What do FL student teachers report they believe about their own personal language learning using CALL? (c) How are FL student teachers using CALL pedagogically (if at all)? (d) What do FL student teachers report they believe about their teacher preparation in CALL? Data from 73 FL student teachers suggest FL student teachers do not feel well prepared to use CALL technologies pedagogically and that they have a limited repertoire of technology resources. Approximately 85% of these student teachers self-report their knowledge of CALL technologies as novice or intermediate. This article examines the virtues and shortcomings of FL student teachers’ preparation and use of CALL and offers suggestions for FL teacher education.
Tropical maize selection indexes genotypes for efficiency in use of nutrients: phosphorus
Authors: Reis Gabriel Gonçalves dos , Pereira Felipe Bermudez , Granato Italo Stefanine Correia , DoVale Júlio César , Fritsche-Neto Roberto
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Brazil generates an annual demand for more than 2.83 million tons of phosphate fertilizers. Part of this is due to low P use efficiency (PUE) by plants, particularly in current maize cultivars. Thus, the aim of this study was to create indexes that allow accurate selection of maize genotypes with high PUE under conditions of either low or high P availability. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse (20º45'14"S; 42º52'53"W) at the Universidade Federal de Viçosa in October 2010. We evaluated 39 experimental hybrid combinations and 14 maize inbred lines with divergent PUE under two conditions of P availability. The relative importance of the traits studied was analyzed and estimated by principal component analysis, factor analysis, and establishment of selection indexes. To obtain genotypes responsive to high P availability, the index SIHP (selection index for high phosphorus) = 0.3985 RDM + 0.3099 SDM + 0.5567 RLLAT + 0.2340 PUEb - 0.1139 SRS is recommended. To obtain genotypes tolerant to low P availability, the index SILP (selection index for low phosphorus) = 0.3548 RDM + 0.3996 RLLAT + 0.3344 SDM + 0.0041 SH/RS - 0.1019 SRS is suggested.

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in patients diagnosed with metastatic pulmonary calcification (MPC). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the HRCT findings from 23 cases of MPC [14 men, 9 women; mean age, 54.3 (range, 26-89) years]. The patients were examined between 2000 and 2014 in nine tertiary hospitals in Brazil, Chile, and Canada. Diagnoses were established by histopathologic study in 18 patients and clinical-radiological correlation in 5 patients. Two chest radiologists analyzed the images and reached decisions by consensus. Results: The predominant HRCT findings were centrilobular ground-glass nodules (n = 14; 60.9%), consolidation with high attenuation (n = 10; 43.5%), small dense nodules (n = 9; 39.1%), peripheral reticular opacities associated with small calcified nodules (n = 5; 21.7%), and ground-glass opacities without centrilobular ground-glass nodular opacity (n = 5; 21.7%). Vascular calcification within the chest wall was found in four cases and pleural effusion was observed in five cases. The abnormalities were bilateral in 21 cases. Conclusion: MPC manifested with three main patterns on HRCT, most commonly centrilobular ground-glass nodules, often containing calcifications, followed by dense consolidation and small solid nodules, most of which were calcified. We also described another pattern of peripheral reticular opacities associated with small calcified nodules. These findings should suggest the diagnosis of MPC in the setting of hypercalcemia.
Testando teorias para o consumo agregado no Brasil
Authors: Lopes Luckas Sabioni
Published: July 2017

Resumo: No presente artigo, foram testadas teorias para descrever o comportamento do consumo agregado brasileiro, considerando duas bases dados: uma anual, para o período de 1947 a 2012; e outra trimestral, abrangendo os anos de 1991 a 2014. A abordagem metodológica consistiu em utilizar a estatística BDS para validar a adequabilidade de modelos teóricos e empíricos às séries de tempo. Verificou-se que a versão passeio-aleatório da Hipótese da Renda Permanente não encontra suporte nos dados, em função de uma elevada sensibilidade do consumo à renda corrente. Característica que é apenas parcialmente explicada pelas restrições de acesso ao crédito. Em seguida, testou-se uma versão da função consumo com excesso de sensibilidade por meio do modelo de correção do erro. Após considerar a possibilidade de quebras estruturais múltiplas nesta última formulação, não foi possível rejeitar a hipótese nula de resíduos IID. Conclui-se, portanto, que o consumo no Brasil é bem descrito como sendo sensível aos desvios previstos da renda corrente, abrindo espaço para políticas anticíclicas que visem a suavizar as flutuações da atividade econômica no país.
Mindfulness: ¿proceso, habilidad o estrategia? Un análisis desde el análisis del comportamiento y del contextualismo funcional
Authors: Munoz-Martinez Amanda M. , Monroy-Cifuentes Andrea L. , Torres-Sanchez Laura M.
Published: July 2017

Resumen Los efectos positivos del mindfulness en el tratamiento de múltiples problemas psicológicos en diversas poblaciones han popularizado su uso dentro de la psicología clínica en los últimos años. No obstante, las investigaciones empíricas y revisiones teóricas sobre el mindfulness muestran tres usos diferentes del mindfulness dentro de las aproximaciones conductuales: como proceso, como habilidad y como estrategia. Las discrepancias en las definiciones de mindfulness han generado ambigüedad con respecto a qué y cómo se investiga este fenómeno. En este trabajo se realizó un análisis conceptual de las definiciones del mindfulness de acuerdo con los supuestos filosóficos analíticos-conductuales y contextualistas-funcionales. Finalmente, se discutió la importancia de contar con una definición precisa y unánime con el fin de desarrollar una agenda coordinada de investigación en esse campo.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate different materials for field bagging with respect to the physicochemical changes caused in cantaloupe melon fruits. The study was conducted in a protected environment in the city of Goiânia, Goiás in Brazil. The experiment consisted of five treatments, with bagging of cantaloupe melon fruits with four materials (newspaper, Kraft paper, NWF, and polyethylene) and a control treatment without bagging, in a randomized block design with five replications of one plant with a fruit each. Fruits were evaluated for physicochemical characteristics. Number of days from bagging to harvest was also recorded and visual aspects of the fruit were observed. The materials as well as the time interval between the bagging and harvest affect physicochemical characteristics such as accumulation of soluble solids and thickness of the green pulp halo and visual aspects of the fruit. This study recommends bagging cantaloupe melons using white non-woven fabric or to not use the technique at all, under the conditions similar to those used in the study. In addition, using polyethylene for the bagging of fruit is not recommended, because this material has a deleterious effect on the characteristics essential for commercialization of melons.

Abstract Introduction Motorcycles accidents are responsible for most of the injuries due to external causes and consequent high hospitalization rates. Objective This study aimed to analyze the temporal trend in motorcycle accident morbidity among young male adults in the State of Santa Catarina. Methods This is an ecological study on motorcycle accident morbidity in men aged 20 to 39 years in the State of Santa Catarina between 1998 and 2012. Data from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System were used in the study. Specific hospital morbidity rates adjusted for age, age group and geographical region, were calculated to analyze the temporal trend in the State through regression model estimates obtained using the Joinpoint program. Results A total of 19.889 hospital admissions for motorcycle accidents occurred in the State of Santa Catarina in the period studied, with a significant increase of 10.9% per year. In the studied age groups, the 20-29 year old group increased 9.7% per year, whilst the 30-39 year old group increased 13.7%. Except for Foz do Rio Itajaí, all geographical regions of the state showed a significant increase of morbidity. Conclusion There has been an increasing trend of morbidity for motorcycle accidents in State of Santa Catarina. These results show the need for improvement of policies to reduce the causes of this type of accident.

Resumo Pênfigo compreende grupo de doenças bolhosas autoimunes que possuem tendência à progressão, com evolução ilimitada e crônica e com prognóstico potencialmente fatal. O tipo mais comum é o Pênfigo Foliáceo Endêmico (PFE), caracterizado pela presença de lesões cutâneas com formação de bolhas na face, no couro cabeludo e na região interescapular. Fatores de ordem ambiental, genéticos e imunológicos podem desencadear a enfermidade. Entre os fatores ambientais, exposição a mercúrio, poeiras minerais e a picada do mosquito Simulium nigrimanum devem ser considerados. Buscou-se, neste artigo, relatar a ocorrência do PFE entre a população de Antônio Pereira, distrito rural de Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, bem como identificar possíveis associações da doença com fatores ocupacionais e ambientais locais. Foi constatada uma prevalência de 4,57 casos de PFE/1.000 habitantes, considerada bastante elevada. Observou-se associação estatística entre a doença e contato com barragem de rejeitos de mineração (p = 0,048) e exposição ao mercúrio (p = 0,008). Os resultados indicam a necessidade de vigilância epidemiológica eficaz das comunidades afetadas, assim como adequada assistência à saúde dos pacientes acometidos pela doença.

O presente trabalho provém de reflexões advindas de escuta e intervenção em um grupo de pais, realizado em um ambulatório público de psiquiatria. A dicotomia dos efeitos da nomeação diagnóstica se apresenta ora permitindo inscrever a criança e o adolescente numa ordem de filiação, ora produzindo um engessamento das possibilidades de subjetivação. Problematizam-se as formas de filiação construídas sob o caráter prescritivo do diagnóstico psiquiátrico e seus possíveis efeitos nos modos de cuidado e nos laços estabelecidos entre pais e filhos.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the factors that influence the missed nursing care in hospitalized patients. Methods: descriptive correlational study developed at a private hospital in Mexico. To identify the missed nursing care and related factors, the MISSCARE survey was used, which measures the care missed and associated factors. The care missed and the factors were grouped in global and dimension rates. For the analysis, descriptive statistics, Spearman’s correlation and simple linear regression were used. Approval for the study was obtained from the ethics committee. Results: the participants were 71 nurses from emergency, intensive care and inpatient services. The global missed care index corresponded to M=7.45 (SD=10.74); the highest missed care index was found in the dimension basic care interventions (M=13.02, SD=17.60). The main factor contributing to the care missed was human resources (M=56.13, SD=21.38). The factors related to the care missed were human resources (rs=0.408, p<0.001) and communication (rs=0.418, p<0.001). Conclusions: the nursing care missed is mainly due to the human resource factor; these study findings will permit the strengthening of nursing care continuity.

Authors: Marchiori Gianna Fiori , Tavares Darlene Mara dos Santos
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: describing the changes in frailty conditions over the period of a year after hospital discharge, verifying predictive variables for changes in frailty conditions and frailty phenotype components according to worsening, improving and stable groups. Method: a longitudinal survey carried out with 129 elderly. A structured form for socioeconomic and health data, scales (Geriatric Depression Scale - short form, Katz scale, Lawton and Brody scale) and frailty phenotype according to Fried were used. Descriptive analysis and multinomial logistic regression model (p<0.05) were performed. Results: we found that 56.7% of older adults changed their condition from non-frail to pre-frail, with no changes from non-frail to frail. Deaths were found between frail and pre-frail elderly. In the worsening group, the increase in the number of morbidities was a predictor for exhaustion and/or fatigue, while in the improving group, increased dependence on instrumental activities of daily living was a predictor for weight loss, and reduced scores indicative of depression due to low level of physical activity. Conclusion: a greater percentage of changes from non-frail condition to pre-frail older adults were observed, and health variables were only predictive for frailty phenotype components.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Objectives: measure and compare the quality of life of neurogenic bladder patients using intermittent urinary catheterization who were going through rehabilitation in Brazil and Portugal. Method: multicenter, quantitative, cross-sectional, observational-analytic and correlational study executed in Brazil and Portugal. Two data collection tools were used, being one questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical data and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-bref. Patients were included who were over 18 years of age, suffering from neurogenic urinary bladder and using intermittent urinary catheterization. Results: in the sample of Brazilian (n = 170) and Portuguese (n = 52) patients, respectively, most patients were single (87-51.2%; 25-48.1%), had finished primary education (47-45.3%; 31-59.6%) and were retired (70-41.2%; 21-40.4%). Spinal cord injury was the main cause of using the urinary catheter in both countries. The Brazilian patients presented higher mean quality of life scores in the psychological domain (68.9) and lower scores in the physical domain (58.9). The Portuguese patients presented higher scores in the psychological domain (68.4) and lower scores in the environment domain (59.4). The execution of intermittent urinary self-catheterization was significant for both countries. Conclusions: in the two countries, these patients’ quality of life can be determined by the improvement in the urinary symptoms, independence, self-confidence, social relationships and access to work activities.

ABSTRACT The acaricidal activity of crude ethanolic extract and fractions from the leaves of Morus nigra (Moraceae) was carried out on female cattle ticks Rhipicephalus microplus, using the adult immersion test. The mortality and fertility of females exposed to different concentrations of hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions, as well as ethanolic extract of M. nigra with concentrations of 5, 10 and 25mg/ml were evaluated using three treatment groups, two control groups and triplicate tests. The study also identified the main phenolic compounds of the extract and fractions of this species by HPLC. The chloroform fraction of leaves of M. nigra (25mg/mL) showed the best results for this species, obtaining 62.6% of inhibition of oviposition, 39.3% of eggs eclosion average and 65.4% of effectiveness. HPLC analysis revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, which may be related to biological activity shown by the extracts, which can be used as an alternative control against R. microplus adult tick.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diets containing whole cottonseed (WC) on blood biochemical parameters of bulls. Thirty bulls with 30±6 months and 382.7±28.4kg were kept in feedlot (85 days) and fed the following WC levels: 0, 2.22, 4.44, 6.66, 8.88 and 11.11%. In comparing biochemical indicators from the beginning to the end of the experiment, the control group (CG) and those fed diets containing 2.22, 8.88 and 11.11% of WC had an increase (P<0.05) in serum Ca concentrations (8.34±0.65−9.56±0.92mEqL-1). In relation to Fe (202.79±69.04−300.04±79.88µg/dL), the CG and those treated with 6.66% WC showed an increase (P<0.05) in serum concentrations. As to the Mg (1.92±0.18−2.40±0.27mEqL-1), groups treated with diet containing 2.22, 4.44 and 6.66% of WC had higher (p<0.05) concentrations at the end of the study. Regarding blood lipids, groups with diets containing 2.22; 4.44; 6.66 and 8.88% of WC increased (p<0.05), respectively, in concentrations of HDL, TG, VLDL and COL. The group that received 11.11% of WC increased (P<0.05) in the concentrations of COL and HDL. It can be concluded that diets containing WC, caused no alterations in the concentrations of blood parameters analyzed in this study, with the exception of Mg.

ABSTRACT P34 is an antimicrobial peptide produced by Bacillus sp. P34, isolated from the intestinal contents of a fish from the Amazon basin. This peptide showed antibacterial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and was characterized as a bacteriocin like substance. It was demonstrated that the peptide P34 exhibited antiviral activity against feline herpesvirus type 1 in vitro. The aim of this work was to evaluate P34 for its antiviral properties in vitro, using RK 13 cells, against the equine arteritis virus, since it has no specific treatment and a variable proportion of stallions may become persistently infected. The results obtained show that P34 exerts antiviral and virucidal activities against equine arteritis virus, probably in the viral envelope. The antiviral assays performed showed that P34 reduces significantly the viral titers of treated cell cultures. The mechanism of action of P34 seems to be time/temperature-dependent. This peptide tends to be a promising antiviral compound for the prevention and treatment of arteriviral infections since it has a high therapeutic index. However, more detailed studies must be performed to address the exact step of viral infection where P34 acts, in order to use this peptide as an antiviral drug in vivo in the future.
Maternal behavioral factors influencing postpartum weight retention. Clinical and metabolic implications
Authors: Falivene Mariana A. , Orden Alicia B.
Published: July 2017

Abstract Objectives: to describe some factors of maternal behavior such as breastfeeding, diet, physical activity, sleep and clinical-metabolic disorders associated with retention and/or weight gain during postpartum. Methods: specific articles on the subject were searched in LILACS, MEDLINE/PubMed and SciELO databases. Results: the literature review suggests that breastfeeding or physical activity alone are not enough to return to the pre-pregnancy weight, if they are not combined with restrictions of energy intake. Reduced sleep affects both eating habits and activity patterns resulting in lower energy expenditure, in addition to altering the glycemic metabolism. Conclusions: maternal obesity increases the risk of metabolic syndrome. Interventions during postpartum are critical for maternal health and could be the key in reducing the risk of transgenerational maternal/childhood obesity.

Published: July 2017

Resumo Este artigo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão narrativa de estudos sobre violência obstétrica. Para isso, abordou-se o histórico do parto e suas intervenções, o conceito de violência obstétrica, os marcos legais e o panorama brasileiro da assistência ao parto. Após a revisão das pesquisas realizadas sobre o assunto, constatou-se que não há um consenso em relação ao conceito de violência obstétrica no Brasil, embora as evidências indiquem que essa prática ocorra. Os dados apontam para a necessidade de uma conceituação de violência obstétrica, preferencialmente em documentos legais que a definam e criminalizem. Tal conceituação auxiliará na identificação e enfrentamento dessas situações. Consideram-se necessárias mudanças nas práticas assistenciais vigentes, visando a reduzir as intervenções desnecessárias e as violações aos direitos das mulheres.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT As people age, cognitive abilities may decline resulting in serious disabilities. Neuropsychological instruments can provide information on the cognitive state of older adults. Researchers worldwide have been using digital cognitive tests to assess cognitive domains. Objective: To determine whether educational status affects the performance of older adults on digital cognitive tasks. Methods: A systematic review of articles in English, Portuguese, or Spanish published in the last 5 years was conducted. The databases searched were SCOPUS, PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo and PsychInfo. The PRISMA method was used. Results: A total of 7,089 articles were initially retrieved. After search and exclusion with justification, seven articles were selected for further review. Conclusion: The findings revealed that researchers using digital tasks generally employed paper-based tests to compare results. Also, no association between years of education and test performance was found. Finally, a dearth of studies using digital tests published by Brazilian researchers was evident.
Cognitive assessment: A challenge for occupational therapists in Brazil
Authors: Conti Juliana
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Cognitive impairment is a common dysfunction after neurological injury. Cognitive assessment tools can help the therapist understand how impairments are affecting functional status and quality of life. Objective: The aim of the study was to identify instruments for cognitive assessment that Occupational Therapists (OT) can use in clinical practice. Methods: The instruments published in English and Portuguese between 1999 and 2016 were systematically reviewed. Results: The search identified 17 specific instruments for OT not validated in Brazilian Portuguese, 10 non-specific instruments for OT not validated in Brazilian Portuguese, and 25 instruments validated for Portuguese, only one of which was specific for OT (Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment). Conclusion: There are few assessment cognitive tools validated for use in the Brazilian culture and language. The majority of the instruments appear not to be validated for use by OT in clinical practice.

ABSTRACT Delirium can be conceptualized as an acute decline in cognitive function that typically lasts from hours to a few days. Prolonged delirium can also affect patients with multiple predisposing and/or precipitating factors. In clinical practice, prolonged delirium is often unrecognized, and can be misdiagnosed as other psychiatric disorders. We describe a case of a 59-year-old male presenting with behavioral and cognitive symptoms that was first misdiagnosed as a mood disorder in a general hospital setting. After prolonged delirium due to multiple factors was confirmed, the patient was treated accordingly with symptomatic management. He evolved with progressive improvement of his clinical status. Early diagnosis and management of prolonged delirium are important to improve patient prognosis and avoid iatrogenic measures.
Rehabilitation in severe memory deficit: A case study
Authors: Sousa Nariana Mattos Figueiredo
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT The term amnesia refers to a pathological state of mind in which memory and learning are affected to a greater extent than other cognitive functions in a patient without altered level of consciousness. The aim of the current study was to describe a case of severe amnesia in a patient during neurological rehabilitation and to report the importance of preserved cognitive functions to compensate for the mnemonic deficit. VJA presented a clinical condition suggestive of encephalopathy due to caloric-protein malnutrition following several abdominal surgical procedures for complicated choledocholithiasis. A descriptive analysis of the results was carried out to outline the goals attained and the factors limiting implementation of memory aids. After the intervention program, consisting of individual and group activities, VJA showed improvement in level of recall with repetition of tasks, but still required constant external monitoring. Longitudinal follow-up is necessary to obtain more consistent results.

Abstract Introduction: Therapy choice and its progression for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) should be based on their symptoms and clinical condition according to reports of dyspnea and fatigue. Therefore patient-reported scales have presented a key role during the communication with the patient. Objective: To verify if patients with COPD prefer the Modified Borg Scale (MBS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Glasses Scale (GS), Faces Scale (FS) or Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE) during the six-minute walk test(6MWT), and to compare and correlate the scales with each other, with peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR). Methods: 28 patients with COPD (50% had mild to moderate COPD and 50% had severe to very severe) were evaluated by a respiratory and cognitive assessment. Additionally, they performed the 6MWT, in which the scales were applied simultaneously (random order) and patients reported their preference in the end of the test. Results: 57% of patients were illiterate or presented incomplete primary education and most of them (67%) chose the FS or GS. Significant positive correlations were observed between instruments for both dyspnea and fatigue in the end of the 6MWT, which the strongest was between MBS and FS (r = 0.95). Nevertheless, there was no correlation between the scales and SpO2 and HR. Conclusion: As the majority of patients preferred pictured to numerical scales we suggest their use as a resource for therapeutic evaluation; MBS might be replace by FS, even though they have different scores and not scaled proportionally. However, this change must be carefully considered because there is the risk of dubious interpretation.
