Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Quality exercise training of young people is a fundamental basic requirement for developing physical fitness in college basketball teaching. Objective: Enhance exercise training in young basketball players. Methods: A random selection of 50 student volunteers was made for this research. The strength and quality of basketball players of different ages were analyzed. The experimental group was subjected to specific strength training, while the control group was subjected to routine physical exercises. The experiment period was 12 weeks, and the specific technical indicators of the athletes were collected before and after the end of the experiment. The collected data were statistically treated and discussed in light of the scientific literature. Results: No significant difference was found between the two groups in the initial test score (P>0.05). The experimental group’s performance in exercise was better than the control group after 12 weeks (P<0.01). The experimental group demonstrated better performance than the control group in the standing jump, 15-meter reentry, and forward jump, corroborating the significantly different data between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: This study aimed to study the unique role of strength training in the physical training of young basketball players. Special strength training positively affects upper limb muscle training in young basketball players. The lower extremities of basketball players showed expressive functional gains with special strength training. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
Integrated computational approaches assisted development of a novel multi-epitope vaccine against MDR Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae
Authors: Attar R.
Published: February 2023

Abstract The emergence of antibiotic resistance (AR) in bacteria is becoming an alarming health concern because it allows them to adapt themselves to changing environments. It is possible to prevent the spread of AR in many ways, such as reducing antibiotic misuse in human and veterinary medicine. Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae is one of these AR bacterial species that can cause pneumonia in humans and is responsible for high mortality and morbidity rates. It is oval shaped gram-positive bacterium that shows resistance to several antibiotics like penicillin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and co-trimoxazale and no approved vaccine is available to overcome diseases of the pathogen. Thus, substantial efforts are necessary to select protective antigens from a whole genome of pathogens that are easily tested experimentally. The in silico designed vaccine was safe and potent in immunizing individuals against the aforementioned pathogens. Herein, we utilized a subtractive genomic approach to identify potential epitope-based vaccine candidates against S. pseudopneumoniae. In total, 50850 proteins were retrieved from the NCBI, representing the complete genome of S. pseudopneumoniae. Out of the total, CD-HIT analysis identified 1022 proteins as non-redundant and 49828 proteins as redundant and further subjected for subcellular localization in which bulk of proteins was located in the cytoplasm, with seven extracellular proteins (penicillin-binding protein, alpha-amylase, solute-binding protein, hypothetical protein, CHAP domain-containing protein, polysaccharide deacetylase family protein, hypothetical protein). Six immune cells epitopes (SNLQSENDRL, RNDSLQKQAR, NPTTTSEGF, KVKKKNNKK, AYSQGSQKEH, and SVVDQVSGDF) were predicted with the help of the IEDB server. To design a multi-epitopes vaccine these immune cell epitopes were together by GPGPG and adjuvant linker to enhance immune response efficacy. The 3D structure of the designed vaccine was modeled and conducted molecular docking and dynamic simulation studies were to check the binding efficacy with immune cells receptor and dynamic behavior of the docked complex. Finally, we concluded that the designed vaccine construct can provoke a proper and protective immune response against S. pseudopneumoniae.

Abstract Around the globe, plastic has been entering the aquatic system and is ingested by organisms. Identification, optimal digestion method, and characterization of the polymers to trace sources are of growing importance. Hence, the present work investigated microplastics accumulation, digestion protocol efficiency, and characterization of polymers with FTIR analysis in the guts of five fishes (Lethrinus nebulosus, Rastrelliger kanagurta, Acanthopagrus arabicus, Otolithes ruber, and Euryglossa orientalis) from the Karachi coastal area, Arabian Sea. A total of 1154 microplastics (MPs) were ingested by 29 out of 33 fish species (87%). The highest average MP/fish was recorded in Otolithes ruber (54) and the lowest in Rastrelliger kanagurta (19.42). Microfibers were the most abundant shape with the highest numbers (35.52%) as compared to the rest of the MPs identified. Transparent microfibers were recorded as the highest in numbers followed by red, black, blue, and green. In this study, KOH with different concentrations and exposure times along with oxidizing agent hydrogen peroxide was tested (Protocols 3 and 4). Results showed these bases were highly efficient in obtaining optimal digestion of the samples. FTIR analysis confirmed that the majority of the polymers found in the fish guts were polyethylene and polypropylene. This study validated for the first time the presence of these polymers of plastic in marine fish from Pakistan.
History, Practice, Limitations, and Prospects: Anthropology in China
Authors: Fan Ke
Published: February 2023

Abstract Anthropology in China has a century long history. This article examines its origin, development, practices, and limitations throughout history briefly. It is argued that the history of anthropology in China has always been influenced by the state politics; its ups and downs has been determined by the state policy, and thus lacks academic autonomy. In the era of reform-open, however, Chinese anthropology received its spring. Several fields of new were developed along with international anthropology; the discipline has produced many PhDs. Many universities and colleges have established their own programs or departments. There are some problems, however, are underneath. Nonetheless, all negative conditions would push Chinese anthropologists forward to learn more, strengthening theoretical and critical thinking and searching for new subjects and new problems.

Anthropology in Hong Kong According to the GSAP: A Celebration of Public Outreach
Authors: Mathews Gordon
Published: February 2023

Abstract This paper examines what the Global Survey of Anthropological Practice reveals about anthropology as practiced in Hong Kong, and notes that the statistical data offered by Hong Kong Anthropological Association members does not reflect professional anthropology in the city. This is because the Hong Kong Anthropological Society is a non-professional association dedicated to bringing anthropological knowledge to a larger public, with an astonishing diversity of members from all walks of life. The paper suggests that this motley society, in its implicit repudiation of anthropological professionalism, may offer a modest lesson in how, even in a society in which the number of anthropologists is too tiny to create a viable professional organization, bringing anthropology to the public may nonetheless be eminently achievable.

Published: February 2023

Resumen El presente trabajo pretende ser un aporte desde la antropología social uruguaya a partir del intercambio generado en el simposio por la Encuesta Global de Práctica Antropológica Profesional (Global Survey of Anthropological Practice-GSAP), organizado por el World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA) en julio de 2018 (IUAES, Florianópolis, Brasil), que buscó poner en diálogo diversas realidades locales. Con el fin de llegar a describir algunas de las características de la práctica profesional de la antropología en Uruguay -desde un enfoque básicamente cuantitativo-, recupero el registro de los antecedentes que formaron parte de relevamientos realizados en 2014 por la Unidad de Egresados de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación (FHCE) de la Universidad de la República Oriental del Uruguay (UdelaR), y realizo algún cruzamiento de datos de la encuesta GSAP levantada en 2018 por la Asociación Uruguaya de Antropología Social y Cultural (AUAS), actualizando, en forma preliminar, los datos obtenidos por otros relevamientos en progreso.
Precarity in Global Anthropology: Reflexions on the margins of the Global Survey of Anthropological Practice
Authors: Ferreira Vinicius Kauê , Stoica Georgeta
Published: February 2023

Abstract In this essay, we draw primarily on the 2018 Global Survey of Anthropological Practice in order to develop a series of considerations on the issue of precarity in Anthropology. Other reports and available literature are also taken into consideration in the proposed analysis. We start by introducing the issue of precarity in Anthropology as both a trending research topic and an empirical reality in the very practice of our discipline. Then, we analyse the WCAA Global Survey by focusing on its findings regarding employment and salary. In the third and fourth sections of the article, global differences in anthropological practice are taken into account from the perspective of a South-North divide. The fifth section is devoted to reflections on the epistemological dimensions of precarity, neoliberalism and anthropology. We conclude by highlighting ongoing actions and pointing to possible horizons. The main purpose of this essay is, by drawing on available data on anthropologist’s working conditions, to address specificities and challenges that discipline must face when it comes to precarity.
The equality trap: notes on indigenist policies in the Bolsonaro government
Authors: Rufino Marcos Pereira
Published: February 2023

Abstract Fervently criticizing the theme of difference and public policies that emphasize it, Bolsonaro and other top officials in his government propose a new indigenist policy for the country, based on the understanding that all Brazilians are equal. This article seeks to demonstrate that supported on a generic notion of equality, Bolsonaro has established an indigenist policy that seeks its own extinction by putting an end to difference, or its recognition, leading the Brazilian state to return to assimilationist policies from the period before the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988. The article explores government actions related to Indigenous territorial rights and gives special attention to efforts to liberate Indigenous Lands for the realization of various economic activities, such as mining, gold prospecting, cattle raising, energy generation, tourism, and cultivation of genetically modified organisms.
Impact on condemnations of bovine carcasses due to tuberculosis and cysticercosis after changes in federal legislation in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (2014-2020)

Published: February 2023

Abstract The inspection of products of animal origin, carried out by veterinarian agricultural inspectors, is based on the Brazilian legislation described in the Brazilian Regulation for the Industrial and Sanitary Inspection of Animal Origin Products (RIISPOA) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply (MAPA). Decree No. 9,013, which revokes Decree No. 30,691 of 1952, was published on March 29, 2017, and major changes occurred in the legislation described in RIISPOA, such as the criteria for judging carcasses. This study aimed to verify whether these changes had an impact on the condemnations of bovine carcasses due to tuberculosis and cysticercosis in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, RS, Brazil. The number of slaughtered animals and the number of carcasses condemned due to tuberculosis and cysticercosis from 2014 to 2020 were obtained from the Agricultural Defense System (SDA) database, the official data system of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Rural Development (SEAPDR). An increase in the number of cases of carcasses condemned due to cysticercosis and a reduction of animals affected by the disease were observed in the period after changes in the regulation. The number of carcasses condemned due to tuberculosis and the number of animals affected by the disease remained stable after changes in the regulation. The results showed that changes in federal legislation had a real impact on the historical series of condemnations of bovine carcasses due to cysticercosis in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, while the impact of condemnations on carcasses affected by tuberculosis was not significant.

Published: February 2023

Abstract This study assessed the behavior of dairy calves raised in outdoor holding pens covered with different geosynthetics. Twenty crossbred (Girolando, Jersey and Holstein) dairy calves undergoing weaning were used, with an average initial live weight of 40.6 Kg. A completely randomized block design was used, with a 4 x 3 factorial scheme and 5 repetitions. The roofing materials were polyethylene mesh, drainage geocomposite, nonwoven geotextile and woven geotextile, representing the first factor, and assessment times (8 to 11 a.m., 11:15 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 2:15 to 6 p.m.) the second factor. Environmental variables were analyzed, and the following heat stress indices calculated: black globe-humidity index (BGHI) and equivalent temperature. The average BGHI and equivalent temperature were 79 and 26, respectively. Walking behavior differed between treatments (P<0.05) and was more frequent in the woven geotextile treatment. The most frequent behavior observed throughout the day was lying in the shade (53%), demonstrating the importance of providing artificial shading during this stage of life. When compared to polyethylene mesh, the drainage geocomposite and nonwoven geotextile were better suited to providing shade for dairy calves undergoing weaning in tropical regions.

Published: February 2023

Abstract Reptiles have a key role in understanding amniotes’ reproductive independence of water. Many adaptations arose, including in locomotor patterns and behaviours, and the nervous system adapted to those new habits. We have described the macroscopic anatomy and cytoarchitecture of the Amazon Lava Lizard brain (Tropidurus torquatus), an abundant lizard in South America. Fifteen specimens were captured, euthanized and their brains were dissected, eight of these were processed and stained in haematoxylin-eosin. Their main areas of the brain are the telencephalon and diencephalon, in the forebrain, tectum and tegmentum, in the midbrain and medulla oblongata and cerebellum, in the hindbrain. The main and accessory olfactory bulbs are the most rostral structure of the brain and are composed of six layers. Brain hemispheres compose the telencephalon and are divided in pallium and subpallium. Medial, dorsomedial, lateral and dorsal cortices are part of the pallium. Striatum, pallidum and septum compose the subpallium. The diencephalon is composed of thalamus, epithalamus and hypothalamus. The midbrain has a ventral tegmentum, composed of torus semicircularis and a dorsal 14 layered optic tectum. Most part of the hindbrain is composed of the medulla oblongata, and the cerebellum arises from it, forming a three-layered plate like structure. In general, the brain of Tropidurus torquatus resembles those of other lizards, with its own adaptations.

Published: February 2023

Abstract Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a management quality control system that encompasses the organizational process and conditions under which non-clinical health and environmental studies are carried out. According to the World Health Organization, GLP must contain five topics: resources, characterization, rules, results, and quality control. This work aims to address a review according to WHO standards of implementing Good Laboratory Practices in zebrafish (Danio rerio) vivariums. Considering that the promotion of one health (animal, human, and environmental) associated with an education plan, protocols, and records are fundamental to guarantee the safety and integrity of employees, animals, and the environment as well as reliability in the results generated. In a way, Brazil still needs improvements related to the well-being of aquatic organisms (national laws, international agreements, corporate programs, and others), especially concerning its use in research and technological development. In this way, the implementation of GLPs provides valuable guidance for improving animal welfare and worker safety, facilitating the standardization of research.

Published: February 2023

Resumo As Boas Práticas de Laboratório (BPL) são um sistema de controle de qualidade gerencial que abrange o processo organizacional e as condições sob as quais os estudos não clínicos de saúde e meio ambiente são desenvolvidos. Conforme a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) as BPL devem conter cinco tópicos: recursos, caracterização, regras, resultados e controle de qualidade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar uma revisão conforme o padrão da OMS para a implementação das BPL em biotério de zebrafish. Considerando que a promoção da saúde única (animal, humana e ambiental) associada a um plano de educação, protocolos e registros são fundamentais para garantir a segurança e a integridade dos trabalhadores/pesquisadores, animais e meio ambiente assim como confiabilidade nos resultados gerados. De certa forma o Brasil ainda necessita de melhorias relacionadas ao bem-estar de organismos aquáticos (leis nacionais, acordos internacionais, programas corporativos e outros); especialmente em relação à utilização deste na pesquisa e desenvolvimento tecnológico. Desta forma, a implementação de BPL fornece uma orientação valiosa para a melhoria do bem-estar animal, e segurança do trabalhador vindo a facilitar a padronização da pesquisa.

Abstract The impact of high-speed exercise on the musculoskeletal system of young racehorses has been extensively discussed because of concerns regarding animal health and welfare. This study investigated the correlation between age, degree of ossification of the distal radial epiphysis, sex, and career longevity of Thoroughbred racehorses in Brazil from 2012 to 2015. We performed a retrospective evaluation of 286 dorsopalmar radiographs of the left radiocarpal region of young horses and their racing performance. Distal radial epiphyseal closure was classified into three degrees: A, B, or C. Performance data included the number of races raced, athletic career length, and the number of races per month. The variables were subjected to regression analysis. At the time of radiographic examination, male horses were significantly older than females, and horses with epiphyseal closure degrees differed with age. Age at first race was 33.08±3.81 months, the average of races raced was 18.32±15.14 races, athletic career duration was 20.37±13.82 months, and the number of races raced per month was 0.93±0.46 races. Age influenced (P>0.001) the distal radial epiphyseal closure on racehorses, but sex did not (P=0.218 for males and P=0.275 for females). An inverse association was observed between age at the first race, the number of races raced per month, and athletic career duration. The frequency of race and the age at the first race influenced athletic career duration.

Os dados de desempenho incluíram o número de corridas disputadas, duração da carreira atlética e o número de corridas por mês. As variáveis foram submetidas à análise de regressão. No momento do exame radiográfico, os cavalos machos eram significativamente mais velhos que as fêmeas, e os cavalos com graus de fechamento epifisário diferiram com a idade. A idade na primeira corrida foi de 33,08±3,81 meses, a média de corridas disputadas foi de 18,32±15,14 corridas, a duração da carreira atlética foi de 20,37±13,82 meses e o número de corridas realizadas por mês foi de 0,93±0,46 corridas. A idade influenciou (P>0,001) o fechamento da epífise radial distal em cavalos de corrida, mas o sexo não (P=0,218 para machos e P=0,275 para fêmeas). Uma associação inversa foi observada entre a idade na primeira corrida, o número de corridas disputadas por mês e a duração da carreira atlética. A frequência de corrida e a idade na primeira corrida influenciaram a duração da carreira atlética.
De dentro para fora, de fora para dentro: figurações teóricas da autoria e do estilo na poética da ficção seriada televisiva
Authors: Picado Benjamim
Published: February 2023

Resumo Neste artigo, pretendo avaliar os distintos modos de se pensar a relação entre os conceitos de estilo e autoria no campo de estudos sobre a ficção seriada televisiva — conforme impliquem diferentes heurísticas derivadas, ora das teorias sociológicas sobre a produção cultural, ora das relações entre obras e horizontes probabilísticos de apreciação, oriundas de abordagens poéticas sobre o assunto. No esforço por qualificar essas correlações conceituais nos dois modos de aproximação (o sociológico e o poético), viso clarificar melhor os empregos de tais categorias em favor de uma melhor delimitação entre dinâmicas que presidem cada uma dessas perspectivas — ora valorizando ambientes sociais e concorrenciais da atribuição da autoria no campo social da produção, ora como matrizes cooperativas da estipulação do estilo, como inflexão da recepção e do fenômeno predominantemente estético.

Resumo Este artigo analisa o modo como o canal Disney+ emprega o valor de diversidade para a construção de suas narrativas mais contemporâneas, em especial na série de curtas-metragens SparkShorts, da Pixar. A iniciativa renegocia o passado da Disney, marcado por críticas às representações estereotipadas de culturas e grupos sociais, aproximando-se de pautas dos movimentos LGBTQIA+, de pessoas com deficiência, negros e mulheres. Com base na noção de diferença, buscamos demonstrar que a série, ao mesmo tempo que possibilita novas narrativas por meio das experiências de seus diretores, também se coloca como espaço para afirmação e construção da Disney enquanto marca.
On-farm conservation of cassava in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso state, Brazil: ethnobotanical aspects and genetic diversity
Authors: Rondon Melca Juliana Peixoto , Tiago Auana Vicente , Hoogerheide Eulalia Soler Sobreira
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Family farmers are important in the on-farm conservation of cassava, since they maintain distinct ethnovarieties in their plantations. This research aimed to analyze ethnobotanical aspects and the genetic diversity of cassava ethnovarieties maintained by farmers in the Baixada Cuiabana, Mato Grosso state, Brazil, in the Rio dos Couros community. A semi-structured questionnaire was applied for the ethnobotanical characterization of the cassava ethnovarieties. Subsequently, young leaves of the cassava plants were collected for DNA extraction. The ethnobotanical survey identified 29 cassava ethnovarieties, with the most cultivated ones being Pão, Amarelona and Cacau. The farmers characterize the cassavas with the following characteristics: palatability, pulp color, origin and similarities with animals and vegetables. Genetic relationships were observed among the ethnovarieties and five groups were identified, with formation of subgroups. In these groupings, it is possible to highlight the isolation of the Matrinxã, Paraguainha and Broto Roxo ethnovarieties as the most genetically divergent ones.
Soil enzymatic activity and wheat grain yield under cover crop systems

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT For years, the impacts of using cover crops in productive systems have been measured by their relation with soil chemical and physical characteristics. Consequently, the effects on the soil microbiological characteristics have been little explored. This research aimed to measure the short-term effects of cover crop systems on the enzymatic activity of arylsulfatase and beta-glycosidase, as well as the wheat grain yield. Thirty-five cover crop systems (18 single and 17 intercropped) were implemented, with 3 replications of the following variables for each treatment: enzymatic activity of arylsulfatase and beta-glycosidase, soil organic matter and sulfur contents, and wheat grain yield. The data were submitted to descriptive analysis, multivariate cluster analysis by dendrograms for the single and intercropped plant systems, and t-test for independent samples between the average scores of each group in the dendrograms. Independently of the crop system, there were short-term effects on the enzymatic activity and grain yield. Plants from the same botanic family presented different effects among them. Therefore, in the short-term, cover crops affect the enzymatic activity, and plants that present a higher enzymatic activity do not necessarily result in higher grain yields.

Resumo Conhecer as vulnerabilidades de uma cidade é fundamental para a ação efetiva do Estado na área de proteção social. No município de Vitória-ES, os bairros podem ser bem diferentes em uma curta distância, por isso neste estudo buscamos analisar o perfil da população em situação de risco social por meio de mapas de vulnerabilidades identificadas no Cadastro Único, agrupadas por bairro. Processamos a base de dados do CadÚnico de Vitória, entre os anos de 2017 e 2019. Prosseguimos a extração e cruzamento destes dados com informações cartográficas para identificar situações prioritárias para a assistência social. Avaliamos 11 vulnerabilidades: Pobreza Extrema, Pobreza, Habitação Precária, Participação em outros programas da Assistência Social, Idosos, Pessoas com Deficiência, Analfabetos, Baixa Escolaridade, Desemprego, Situação Ocupacional Precária e Persistência do Desemprego. Por fim, via GoogleMaps geramos mapas que apresentam uma classificação de intensidade de cada vulnerabilidade por transparência e cor sobrepostas em uma camada de polígonos delimitando os bairros. Os resultados demonstram que cada bairro tem um diferente perfil de vulnerabilidade, e que o mapeamento pode auxiliar a gestão municipal em um planejamento mais específico, voltado a cada realidade.
La ciudad entre el déficit de vivienda, la tierra vacante latente y el desalojo que genera la expansión del capital. El caso de la Calle Ayacucho (Medellín-Colombia)
Authors: Londoño Carlos Alberto , Carmona Luz Stella
Published: February 2023

Resumen La calle Ayacucho en la ciudad de Medellín se ha convertido en un espacio producido, colonizado y re estratificado por el capital inmobiliario-financiero y el Estado, negándoles el derecho a la ciudad a los habitantes que demandan una solución al déficit de vivienda, a la vez que los expulsa a la periferia de la ciudad. El capital inmobiliario-financiero desempeña un papel protagónico en el sistema capitalista actual. En su proceso de expansión, el capital en connivencia del Estado genera un conflicto de intereses con los grupos sociales, ya que se debaten entre la reproducción del capital y la reproducción social de la vida. Por tanto, mientras en los instrumentos de planeación contemporánea se contemplan espacios centrales de la ciudad para el desarrollo de proyectos inmobiliarios bajo la premisa de la ciudad compacta, los intereses del privado se anteponen al de las clases menos favorecidas que buscan solucionar, entre otros problemas, su déficit de vivienda. A la vez, en un intento por posicionar a Medellín como una plataforma de competitividad, el Estado desarrolla megaproyectos que generan el desalojo (expropiación) de algunos habitantes tradicionales, para dar paso a habitantes de clases sociales más favorecidas.

Resumen La concepción ambiental para los recursos construidos de valor patrimonial permitió adaptar e integrar teorías, modelos y sistemas empleados universalmente en la gestión ambiental, urbana y patrimonial, en un modelo conceptual para la gestión ambiental urbana de los recursos construidos de valor patrimonial. Derivado este, se concibió y desarrolló una metodología que incorpora los enfoques ecosistémicos, estratégicos y participativos, así como describe un proceso que transita por tres etapas: valoración-planificación, conservación-implementación y monitoreo-control y un conjunto de herramientas que contribuyó a conservarlos, y enriquecer dicho ambiente de una forma equilibrada, territorialmente factible y equitativa para la sociedad. Su aplicación en tres pueblos cubanos, posibilitó generar cambios e impactos favorables en el desarrollo económico local y en la calidad de su ambiente, propiciando mejores condiciones de vida; a través de ofertas de servicios, empleos, espacios sociales de uso colectivo, entre otros componentes que han ayudado al desarrollo local respectivamente. Es por ello que el objetivo del presente artículo es socializar los resultados de las contribuciones de la gestión ambiental urbana, desde el tratamiento como recurso ambiental a los valores del patrimonio construido, mediante un proceso metodológico que ayuda a su conservación y al desarrollo local.
Normal occlusion in maturational life process
Authors: GARIB Daniela , MIRANDA Felicia , MASSARO Camila
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: An increase in life expectancy was observed in the past years. Consequently, the knowledge of the maturational changes in the occlusion is highly important to guide clinicians during treatment planning. Objective: In this article, the occlusal and facial aging changes occurred during almost 50 years of follow-up are described. A normal occlusion sample from Bauru Dental School, University of São Paulo, Brazil, was evaluated at 13 (T1), 17 (T2) and 60 (T3) years of age. The maturational changes observed in digital dental models and cephalometric radiographs were presented. A revision of the aging process, under the gerontology and psychology perspectives, was also explored. Discussion: Maturational changes in non-treated individuals were very delicate. Mandibular crowding, decrease in the overbite, changes in the maxillary second molar position, increase in the clinical crown length, dental wear and discoloration were observed. Conclusion: Compared to the remarkable facial and skin changes during aging, the occlusion seems to be the most stable feature of the face during the aging process.

Abstract Objective to analyze the figure of the Spanish visiting nurse from 1921 to 1953. Method This is a historical-social, qualitative study based on primary and secondary documentary sources. The Dialectical Structural Model of Care (DSSM) was used to support the data management and analysis process. Results Spanish visiting nurses had specialization in public health, acquired at Bedford College, in England, or at the Rockefeller Foundation, in the United States. They worked in rural and urban environments, performing their work in Primary and Secondary Centers of Rural Hygiene, where they educated the population about personal hygiene and public health rules. Conclusion and implications for practice Spanish nurse visitors were able to expand health education throughout the country, promote hygienic and nutritional habits for the general population, reduce the incidence of infectious-contagious diseases, and promote sanitary reforms that began at the beginning of the 20th century. Currently, the figure of the visiting nurse can be considered a forerunner of the specialist nurse in family and community care.

Published: February 2023

Abstract Brazilian floriculture is driven by novelties, requiring the constant entry of new products into the market. This situation favors Brazil, which has, in its native flora, unique species in the world and with high potential for rational use for commercial purposes. The Brazilian flora with ornamental potential is little explored, and the use of species is restricted and, often, extractive with consequent genetic erosion. The use of native species from different ecosystems may constitute a future alternative of products for Brazilian floriculture. Despite the large amount of plant genetic resources, there are few initiatives for the conservation and domestication of species and improvement for sustainable use. For this reason, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) conserves collections of ornamental plants, and the research initiatives of these collections form the Genetic Resources of Ornamental Plants Project. In addition to conservation, it sought, in partnership with other institutions, the characterization and evaluation of the potential use of these species aiming at the completion of products for floriculture. In this way, the materials already characterized and documented make it possible to add value to genetic resources, already maintained. Currently, Embrapa has six ex situ collections of ornamental plants (Tropical species, Bromeliads, Cactaceae and species from the Pampa Biome, Amazonian Orchids and species from Cerrado) and also counts on the genetic variability of banks of other products (Passion fruit, Pineapple, Paspalum, Pepper, Pumpkin germplasm banks) that have been evaluating accessions, selecting and registering cultivars for ornamental use.
SOCIATRY OF MORENO: ONLINE SOCIODRAMA AND SOCIATRY FOR SOCIAL CRISES
Authors: Altınay Deniz
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT In this article, Sociatric and Sociodramatic systems of J.L. Moreno, the founder of the Psychodrama Group Psychotherapy system, are discussed in the context of online applications. With the pandemic, war and other social crises online psychological help has been needed more than ever. There is a need to heal not only the individual, but also large groups and an entire society in such a great social trauma. Moreno is a scientist who wants to achieve this goal with his discipline of sociatry and he is the father of the concept of sociatry. Sociatry is concerned with the healing of societies. In this article, you will find an online intervention that involve a group of professionals with sociatric applications. With the help of online sociodrama studies, we were able to manage crisis intervention work with the affected group. To heal the society is to protect the future of humanity. Moreno, as a great visionary, is a genius who saw this truth a hundred years ago.
A DECOLONIALIDADE NA PESQUISA E PRÁTICA PSICODRAMÁTICAS: PELA SUPERAÇÃO DE EPISTEMICÍDIOS HISTÓRICOS
Authors: Ribeiro Daniela de Figueiredo
Published: February 2023

RESUMO O presente artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre o ancoramento científico da pesquisa e das práticas psicodramáticas, questionando a perspectiva colonial/moderna predominante no universo da ciência ocidental, e sugerindo uma aproximação com o pensamento decolonial que se desenvolve no século XXI, em que são retomadas epistemologias historicamente desconsideradas, como aquela em que se situam os princípios filosóficos morenianos. As questões discutidas acerca da pesquisa em Psicodrama podem ser transportadas para o campo das práticas, gerando questionamentos quanto ao lugar do psicodramatista na relação com o outro, a forma de elaboração dos problemas/hipóteses terapêuticas e o que se espera das intervenções, situando-as para além dos binarismos tradicionais modernos.
LEVERAGING DEMANDS AND RESOURCES TO CULTIVATE SUPPORT FOR CHANGE: AN INTEGRATIVE PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Mehboob Farhan , Othman Noraini
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Prior research suggests that individuals’ bottom-up initiatives are effective in developing support for change, yet it lacks empirical validation in the context of public organizations. Building on the job demands-resources theory (JD-R), this study examines the process that contributes to translating one’s positive behavioral enactment and support for change, particularly in public organizations. The findings are theoretically and practically significant, providing fresh insights into the behavioral mechanisms involved in the cultivation of support for change in public organizations.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the bromatological composition, bioactive compounds, antioxidant activities, and color of the leaves of olive cultivars Arbosana, Arbequina, Frantoio, Manzanilla, and Koroneiki in northwestern Paraná, Brazil. Leaves of each cultivar were collected for the experiment, which was carried out in a completely randomized design. The dry matter (DM) of olive leaves contains mostly carbohydrates (56.15 to 59.42 g 100 g-1 DM) and fibers (17.37 to 19.73 g 100 g-1 DM) in its bromatological composition. The total polyphenol content ranges from 13.27 to 22.81 mg GAE g-1, with cultivar Manzanilla standing out, and the flavonoid content from 6.50 to 7.65 mg QE g-1. Manzanilla shows the highest antioxidant activity of 93.56 and 78.15% in the DPPH and ABTS assays, respectively. When compared with the other cultivars, Manzanilla and Koroneiki have leaves with a higher green intensity and total chlorophyll content of 0.958 and 0.833 mg 100 mL 1, respectively. In the ABTS assay, there is a correlation both between total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity and between chlorophyll content and antioxidant activity. Olive leaves have characteristics that allow their application as an additive or ingredient for the development of food products with satisfactory antioxidant activity.
Identification of cognitive and metacognitive strategies in school pedagogues: results of a training program

Abstract This article aims to identify the cognitive and metacognitive strategies utilized by school pedagogues responsible for the coordination and articulation of the pedagogic process inside schools in a continuous training program. Metacognition is not usually examined in connection with teachers and/or professional development; therefore, to analyze the importance of metacognitive development for school pedagogues, attention to continuous training is essential both to attain a better comprehension of the term and to establish ways to identify it. This qualitative research taking a phenomenological and hermeneutic approach was developed based on a continuous training program with 16 pedagogues from public and private schools and different segments of activity. Semi-structured interviews and an instrument for the identification of the utilization of five cognitive strategies (reflexivity, reality conscious, verbalization, attention and thought/attitude) and three metacognitive (awareness-making, self-control and autopoiesis) were administered. The results indicate a high level of agreement by participants with the items described by the instrument; in addition, when relating verbal reports from participants to the results obtained with the instrument, it was noted that the proposed continuous training program could facilitate reflections about “learn to learn” as articulated within the activity context. Further studies are needed of school pedagogues, as well the development of training processes (both initial and continued) that promote the development of metacognitive strategies, contributing to daily activity together with the teachers.
