Published: October 2023

Alumina-zirconia composites containing calcium hexaaluminate in the amount from 0 to 15 wt.% were investigated. The materials were obtained by water dispersion, granulation, axial pressing, and free sintering. Density and open porosity were determined by the hydrostatic weighing method. Phase analysis was performed using synchrotron radiation. Structural investigations were conducted using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Vickers hardness was determined at a load of 10 kg. Fracture toughness was determined by the indentation method. With increasing CaAl12O19 content in the composites, the relative density decreased from 98.5% to 91.8%, and the open porosity increased from 0.2 to 1.4%. The lattice parameters of t-ZrO2 crystal lattice did not change up to 12 wt.% CaAl12O19, and the degree of tetragonality was 1.435. The degree of tetragonality decreased for the material with 15 wt.% CaAl12O19 and reached 1.420. The lattice parameters of CaAl12O19 decreased with increasing content. Platelet size increased with increasing calcium hexaaluminate content. For the materials containing up to 9 wt.% CaAl12O19, the average length of the platelets was 2 μm, the width was 0.4 μm, and the aspect ratio was 5. For the material with maximum calcium hexaaluminate content, the average length of the platelets was 4.2 μm, the width was 0.6 μm, and the aspect ratio was 7. With increasing CaAl12O19 content, the hardness decreased from 1700±25 to 1390±30 Hv, and the critical stress intensity factor increased by 34% to 6.7±0.3 MPa·m1/2.

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: The present study evaluated, through physical and physiological tests, the seed quality of a landrace fava bean variety in different packaging materials and storage periods, aiming to guarantee the conservation of their quality in seed banks and facilities. The methodology used was the one recommended by the Rules for Seed Analysis (RAS - Brasil, 2009) and minimum descriptors for Phaseolus lunatus L. The data were subjected to analysis of variance by the F-test at 5% signififance to verify the presence of significant interactions and the individual effects of each treatment. The test of multiple comparison of means was performed by the Tukey test at 5% significance between common treatments. The Dunnett test was used at 5% significance to compare the control means with the means of the treatments. Regression analysis was performed to study the effect of storage on the variables evaluated. All analyses were performed using the R software. From the results, it can be concluded that the storage of fava bean seeds is viable in small rural properties in impermeable packaging materials and aluminized polyethylene bags. The germination and vigor of the seeds analyzed in this study decreased throughout the storage period regardless of the type of packaging used. It is not recommended to store fava bean seeds in permeable paper packaging as they have the lowest quality indices (germination and vigor) at the end of the storage period.

Authors: Naranjo José Ignacio Campos , Forero-Cantor Germán
Published: October 2023

Abstract Changes in the interactions between agents involved in the value chain of the palm oil sector in the municipality of Tibú (Colombia) over the period 1985-2020 have resulted in a reduction in the indices of poverty, social inequality, and unemployment for the inhabitants of the region, which can be explained by a process of socio-technical transition. The main objective of this study is to analyze the factors that determined the success of this process from a multilevel perspective. Exploratory research was developed based on a case study analysis using semi-structured interviews of commercial and non-commercial agents in the sector and information collected from secondary sources. The results show that changes in the legal and regulatory framework established by the government, landscape transformation, and the transition from small farmers to medium entrepreneurs of the farms in the region were important factors revolutionizing the system and are encouraging the emergence of new alternative practices in the palm oil sector.

Published: October 2023

Abstract Introduction Dentin adhesives provide union between the dental substrate and composite resin, but this union can be influenced by the cleaning agent. Objective Evaluate the use of ozonated water as a cavity cleaning solution. Material and method 40 bovine dental crowns were selected, divided into four groups: AD (dentin cleaning with distilled water) and AO (dentin cleaning with ozonized distilled water). Each group was divided into two storage periods (24h and 30 days) kept at 37 °C. The selected universal system adhesive was employed according to the manufacturer's instructions and light cured for 20 seconds. At that time, three cylinders were made (Tygon matrix with an internal diameter of 2 mm and a height of 2 mm) of composite resin in the crowns in the cervical, médium, and incisal regions and light cured for 30 seconds. After storage, the bonding strength was tested by micro-shear, and fracture type analysis was performed. The data were submitted to statistical analysis using the Shapiro-Wilk test with a significance level of 95%, ANOVA, and Turkey. Result There was a statistically significant difference between the bond strength values, only in the intergroup analysis for the time of 24 hours, between the middle third of the groups (LDAO24 = 2.70 (± 2.39); LDAO30 = 3.82 (± 2.31)). The predominant fracture type for both groups was an adhesive fracture, except in the medium and incisal thirds of the AD, which was a cohesive dentin fracture. Conclusion The utilization of ozone did not change the bond strength adhesive.

ABSTRACT Mangrove ecosystems are sensitive to oil, as spills can impair developmental processes of mangrove vegetation. Since the 2010s, the Brazilian equatorial margin, more specifically the Pará-Maranhão Basin and the mouth of the Amazonas River, has been affected by oil runoff from urban activities and the increased risk from exploratory deepwater drilling for oil extraction. Dispersal of mangrove propagules occurs during the tidal cycles, when the presence of tensors in the water can affect germination. We analyzed the effects of diesel oil on the germination of propagules of the two most common mangrove species in the region, Laguncularia racemosa and Avicennia germinans, in six treatments of diesel oil in the water (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 3% and 4%) and a diesel-free control. The response variables were germinability (G%), mean germination time, mean germination speed and the germination speed index (GSI). G% and GSI in L. racemosa propagules differed significantly between the control and all treatments (G% and GSI < 10% in the 3% treatment). Propagules of A. germinans were more resistant, and the physiological variables did not differ significantly among treatments and control (G% > 90% in all treatments). Our results indicate that, at the germination stage, L. racemosa was more susceptible than A. germinans to contamination by automotive diesel oil.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and incidence of insufficient physical activity in Brazilian adolescents and identify the most affected subgroups during the pandemic. Methods: This study used data from the “ConVid Adolescents - Behavior Survey”, which evaluated the behavior of 9,470 Brazilian adolescents during the period of social restriction due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, through a self-administered online questionnaire. Participants were invited through a virtual “snowball” sampling procedure. Information was reported on the frequency of physical activity before and during the pandemic. The exposure variables used were gender, age group, race/skin color, region of Brazil, type of school, maternal education, financial difficulties during the pandemic, and social restrictions. Logistic regression models were used. Results: Adolescents engaged in less physical activity during the pandemic, as the prevalence of insufficient physical activity increased from 71.3% in the previous period to 84.3% during the pandemic. The incidence of insufficient physical activity during the pandemic was 69.6%. The subgroups of adolescents most affected were those who self-declared as black or with dark skin color, reported financial difficulties during the pandemic, lived in the Southeast and South regions of the country, and practiced intense or complete social distancing. Conclusion: High incidences of insufficient physical activity were observed among Brazilian adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is recommended that further studies explore periods after those analyzed to identify the behavioral dynamics of adolescents upon returning to in-person activities.

Published: October 2023

Abstract This observational, cross-sectional and quantitative study, by means of the assessment instruments Brief Pain Inventory, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Spiritual Well-Being and Beck Depression Inventory – Short Form, evaluated the influence of spirituality and depression in the pain perception of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Mean age was 57.3 years. Of the 30 participants, 24 (80%) were treated in a public service, 17 (57%) had been diagnosed with breast cancer for more than 5 years, and 27 (90%) were religious or spiritual. Patients with spiritual well-being scores above the median had lower depressive symptom scores (3 vs. 6; p =0.021). The median total score of spiritual well-being showed no significant difference when stratified by median pain perception (31.5% vs. 28.5%; p =0.405). Greater spiritual well-being may be related to lower rates of depression.

Published: October 2023

Abstract Competencies have been defined as the set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that a professional should acquire to perform a certain work activity. This study aimed to assess competencies in palliative care among students enrolled in a Brazilian medical course. All enrolled students were invited to participate and answer the Palliative Competence Tool. The data obtained were calculated in scores between zero and 100 and compared between the ten competencies and academic cycles. The results showed four patterns, the most frequent being a reduction in scores among students in the basic and intermediate cycles, with partial recovery in the internship. Only ethical competence and decision-making increased in the internship. It was concluded that the acquisition of palliative care competencies in undergraduate medical education remains fragile. New teaching strategies could be adopted to improve their acquisition in the future.

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare the frequency of vocal fold opening variation, analyzed by digital kymography, with the fundamental voice frequency obtained by acoustic analysis, in individuals without laryngeal alteration. Methods Observational analytical cross-sectional study. The participants were forty-eight women and 38 men from 18 to 55 years of age. The evaluation was made by voice acoustic analysis, by the habitual emission of the vowel /a/ for 3 seconds, and days of the week, and digital kymography (DKG), by the habitual emission of the vowels /i/ and /ɛ/. The measurements analyzed were acoustic fundamental frequency (f0), extracted by the Computerized Speech Lab (CSL) program, and dominant frequency of the variation of right (R-freq) and left (L-freq) vocal fold opening, obtained through the KIPS image processing program. The mounting of the kymograms consisted in the manual demarcation of the region by vertical lines delimiting width and horizontal lines separating the posterior, middle and anterior thirds of the Rima glottidis. In the statistical analysis, the Anderson-Darling test was used to verify the normality of the sample. The ANOVA and Tukey tests were performed for the comparison of measurements between the groups. For the comparison of age between the groups, the Mann-Whitney test was used. Results There are no differences between the values of the frequency measurement analyzed by digital kymography, with the acoustic fundamental frequency, in individuals without laryngeal alteration. Conclusion The values of the dominant frequency of the vocal folds opening variation, as assessed by digital kymography, and the acoustic fundamental frequency of the voice are similar, allowing comparison between these measurements in the multidimensional evaluation of the voice, in individuals without laryngeal alteration.

O estresse no trabalho foi mensurado pela versão brasileira da escala de DER, composta por três dimensões: esforço, recompensa e EC. A HA foi definida como níveis de pressão arterial sistólica/diastólica ≥ 140/90 mmHg ou uso de medicamento anti-hipertensivo. Empregou-se regressão logística, bruta e ajustada por potenciais fatores de confusão. As interações multiplicativas foram investigadas. Resultados: participaram 9.465 servidores, 51,9% do sexo feminino. A prevalência de HA foi de 34,9%. No modelo ajustado, associações limítrofes foram identificadas entre o DER (razão>1) e maior EC com maiores chances de HA (OR: 1,11; IC95%: 1,00; 1,24; e OR: 1,13; IC95%: 1,01; 1,26, respectivamente). A análise de interação indicou que sexo e EC não são modificadores de efeito. Conclusão: DER e EC associaram-se a maiores chances de HA, após ajuste. Sexo e EC não foram modificadores de efeito.

Resumen El campo de la Comunicación para el Desarrollo y el Cambio Social, en los últimos años, ha sido analizado bibliométricamente, con el fin de identificar los rasgos característicos de su producción científica. No obstante, los estudios previos realizados no han incorporado las metodologías específicas propias de la bibliometría y de la investigación documental. Este artículo viene a cubrir ese vacío, mediante el análisis de la co-ocurrencia de palabras-clave del dominio científico de la CDCS. Se estudia la aparición conjunta de dos o más palabras representativas en campos tales como títulos de artículos, resúmenes, palabras-clave o en el texto libre. Posteriormente, el análisis se representa en mapas y redes de palabras, donde se identifican los grupos de palabras y las relaciones existentes entre ellas. Las preguntas de investigación de este trabajo son las siguientes: ¿cuáles son los textos de la muestra, a partir de la cual realizar el análisis bibliométrico indicado?; ¿qué palabras-clave sirven para llevar a cabo el análisis de co-ocurrencia y la representación gráfica de este dominio científico?; a la vista de las tendencias identificadas, ¿estamos ante un campo emergente o ante un campo en proceso de implosión? Las conclusiones apuntan hacia el segundo término de esta disyuntiva. Asistimos a una destrucción poco creativa del campo, en la medida en que han sido demolidos los frágiles cimientos teóricos a partir de los cuales se empezaba a levantar este campo incipiente en la investigación española en comunicación.
Collective building of a leisure understanding in territorial mental health, by occupational therapists: a qualitative study
Authors: Queiroz Adriana Gonçalves , Morrison Rodolfo
Published: October 2023

Abstract Introduction Leisure is considered an occupation present in studies, evaluations and interventions of occupational therapy. In Latin America, there are few works dedicated to building the understanding of professionals or their perceptions about leisure. There are even fewer studies that correlate the understanding of these professionals with occupational science on this occupation within the field of mental health. Objective To know the understanding of leisure by occupational therapists working in the mental health of public services that substitute the asylum psychiatric model. Methodology : This research was qualitative, descriptive and exploratory, with a cross-sectional design. A focus group and thematic analysis of information arising from the process of collective construction of occupational therapists, working in public services with a territorial base of urgency in mental health, in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on their understandings regarding leisure were used. Results Three categories emerged: (a) Leisure - pleasure; (b) Leisure - free choice; and (c) Leisure - transcendence of hardness. Conclusion Leisure is an important occupation for occupational therapists working in mental health in the territory; may find resonance in practices that encourage contractuality and autonomy, especially when combined with the principles of occupational science of valuing human doing in its variable ways of experiencing it. It is believed that this research can help occupational therapists and occupation scientists in understanding contemporary leisure, in dialogue with care in the territory and anti-asylum positioning.
Apontamentos críticos aos fundamentos da terapia ocupacional: contribuições para uma Terapia Ocupacional Outra
Authors: Guajardo Córdoba Alejandro , Malfitano Ana Paula Serrata
Published: October 2023

Resumo Este ensaio aborda, a partir de uma perspectiva crítica do Sul, o que tem sido chamado de fundamentos da terapia ocupacional. Argumenta-se que os chamados fundamentos dispõem de certas categorias constitutivas que estão na base da construção de conceitos, teorias, estruturas de trabalho, com as quais a disciplina atua, sendo uma das principais a noção de natureza ocupacional, o conceito de indivíduo, entre outras. Essas categorias que sustentam o que foi chamado de fundamentos de nosso trabalho derivam principalmente do sistema-mundo no qual as disciplinas científicas foram produzidas, incluindo a terapia ocupacional, e que correspondem à racionalidade do projeto moderno, ocidental, norte-eurocêntrico. O objetivo deste ensaio é analisar criticamente e refletir sobre as categorias fundamentais da terapia ocupacional a partir de uma posição crítica do Sul, a qual possibilitará produzir uma terapia ocupacional radicalmente diferente daquelas do sistema do mundo ocidental moderno. Vamos chamá-la de terapia ocupacional Outra, que se baseia em uma ruptura radical das categorias centrais da profissão, para a qual propomos, como introdução, outras categorias que promovam uma compreensão histórica, situada, descolonizada da disciplina, orientada para o reconhecimento e uma práxis Sul-Sul que promova diálogos interculturais que rompam com o universalismo, o monotopismo e o monoculturalismo da terapia ocupacional.
A critical approach to the foundations of occupational therapy: contributions to an Alternative Occupational Therapy
Authors: Guajardo Córdoba Alejandro , Malfitano Ana Paula Serrata
Published: October 2023

Abstract This essay addresses, from a critical perspective of the Global South, what has been called the foundations of occupational therapy. It argues that these so-called foundations rely on certain constitutive categories that form the basis of the construction of concepts, theories, and frameworks with which the discipline operates, including mainly the notion of occupational nature, the concept of the individual, among others. These categories that support what has been referred to as the foundations of our work primarily derive from the world-system in which scientific disciplines have been produced, including occupational therapy, and correspond to the rationality of the modern Western, North Eurocentric project. The purpose of this essay is to critically analyze and reflect upon the fundamental categories of occupational therapy from a critical position of the Global South, which will open up the possibility of producing an occupational therapy radically different from those of the modern Western world-system. We will refer to it as “alternative occupational therapy,” which is based on a radical rupture from the central categories of the profession. As an introduction, we propose other categories that promote a historically situated, decolonized understanding of the discipline oriented towards recognition and a South-South praxis that fosters intercultural dialogues breaking away from the universalism, monotopism, and monoculturalism of occupational therapy.

DO CARREIRO E DA CACIMBA: EXPERIÊNCIAS QUE EXPLICAM AS RELAÇÕES ENTRE EDUCAÇÕES E “SER GENTE” EM COMUNIDADES
Authors: Leal Simoní Portela , Boakari Francis Musa
Published: October 2023

RESUMO Pelas inquietações levantadas durante a matéria Educação e Sociedade no doutoramento do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal do Piauí, fomos instigados a ampliar as discussões tecidas com as experiências das comunidades quilombolas de Barro Vermelho e Contente em Paulistana, Piauí (2018-2019)1. Assim, temos como objetivo compreender quais e como as experiências educacionais envolvendo práticas de organização e constituição quilombola constroem o “espírito” de comunidade (SOMÉ, 2003) em meio aos discursos da colonialidade-modernidade em quilombos em Paulistana. Para isso, dialogamos com os dizeres de Bader Sawaia (2001), Carlos Brandão (2009) e Paulo Freire e Sérgio Guimarães (2011) e suas implicações e práticas educativas que “ensinam a ser gente”. As narrativas direcionaram aos saberes e fazeres das comunidades que descrevem a relação com a/na terra por intermédio de uma simbologia de pertencimento e de construção do ser quilombola.
RANKINGS, TRABALHO DO PESQUISADOR E CAPITAL FINANCEIRO

Published: October 2023

RESUMO Neste artigo, analisamos o espaço mercantil estabelecido nas universidades de pesquisa: os rankings classificatórios de educação superior, o oligopólio na indústria editorial científica e o trabalho do pesquisador a serviço e reprodução do capital. Para isso, apresentamos e discutimos o método e os indicadores dos rankings internacionais de educação superior adotados pelo Banco Mundial. Na sequência, detalhamos o caso do oligopólio de editoras científicas por meio de suas histórias, de seu capital e influências na comunidade científica. Por fim, examinamos teoricamente como o capital financeiro impõe o uso da força de trabalho de professores-pesquisadores a serviço de suas propriedades, exaurindo desses trabalhadores a consciência sobre suas atividades.
