Justificativa e Objetivos: a utilização de microrganismos como controle biológico de vetores
sanitários pode ser considerada uma prática menos agressiva ao ambiente, em comparação
com os produtos químicos utilizados. O presente estudo avaliou a eficiência de suspensões
celulares de fungos e bactérias isolados de efluentes industriais têxteis no controle sanitário
dos vetores naturais Aedes aegypti e Dermacentor nitens como alternativa sustentável de
controle biológico. Métodos: foram avaliadas sete linhagens de fungos e seis de bactérias. Os
isolados foram cultivados em caldo nutriente e caldo de batata, para bactérias e fungos,
respectivamente. Alíquotas de 2 mL de cada suspensão microbiana foram adicionadas
diretamente nas larvas dos mosquitos e nos carrapatos adultos. Foram analisadas alterações de
movimentação e paralisação dos vetores em diferentes tempos de exposição entre zero e 20
minutos e três e 24 horas. Resultados: duas bactérias e um fungo promoveram uma
desaceleração dos movimentos e/ou um aumento da movimentação dos ectoparasitas logo
após a administração. Dois isolados bacterianos promoveram a paralisação dos movimentos
de uma larva do mosquito Aedes aegypti em seu primeiro estágio de desenvolvimento,
enquanto que um fungo provocou aumento da movimentação das larvas em seu estágio de
desenvolvimento mais avançado. Conclusão: os microrganismos mostraram potencial uso no
controle de vetores sanitários. Testes subsequentes de atividade dos possíveis metabólitos
secundários produzidos e das formas de administração das culturas microbianas serão
executados. Os resultados encontrados encorajam futuros estudos de otimização e
caracterização dos extratos celulares, os quais poderão ser utilizados como ferramenta
sustentável no controle biológico.

A emergência do Zika vírus no Brasil entre os anos de 2015 e 2016, com graves
morbidades relacionadas, suscitou a necessidade da disponibilidade de teste diagnóstico
de qualidade. Neste contexto, buscou-se analisar a soroprevalência da infecção por Zika
em uma unidade prisional feminina do estado de Mato Grosso através do teste rápido
(Bahiafarma) e do Ensaio Imunossorvente por Ligação Enzimática de Captura de
Anticorpos para Zika. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa,
pautado em dados coletados em 2018, em que se coletou sangue periférico e procedeuse análise com duas estratégias diagnósticas: o teste rápido e o Ensaio Imunossorvente
por Ligação Enzimática de Captura de Anticorpos para Zika. Em ambos os testes
detectou-se sororreatividade para Zika, com excelentes concordâncias, ou seja, foi
calculado o coeficiente Kappa e foram obtidos os valores de 1 para IgM e 0,86 para
IgG. Além dos achados laboratoriais, foram relatados fatores de risco para a infecção,
decorrentes das características intrínsecas ao ambiente prisional e do modo de vida das
participantes. A descrição da soroprevalência dessa arbovirose será importante para
direcionar as ações de prevenção e controle a serem implementadas pela vigilância
epidemiológica.
Evaluating Student and Teacher Views on the Use of Authentic Learning in Primary School Social Studies Course: A Case Study
Authors: ŞEKERCİ Hanifi
Published: October 2020

It is difficult to inculcate the knowledge, skills, competence, quality and values that students need to gain through traditional approaches of teaching. Therefore, approaches of teaching which make students active in learning, which lead them to solve daily life problems and thus inculcate in them the upper order thinking skills need to be used in teaching the social studies course. In this context, using authentic learning could be functional in the process of teaching social studies. It is because students actively take part in the learning process, they face daily life problems and they can gain upper order thinking skills whilst solving the problems in authentic learning. Besides, learners are also pleased with such learning. Hence, this study aims to identify students’ and teacher’s views on the use of authentic learning in the social studies course. The sample in the study, which was designed in the form of a case study- a design of qualitative research- was formed in criterion sampling. In this context, the working group of the research is 35 4th grade students, 20 of whom are girls, 15 of which are boys, who study at a public school in Diyarbakır, Turkey and the teacher of the class. The research data were collected with focus group interviews and with a questionnaire form composed of open-ended questions. The data were analysed in content analysis technique. The findings obtained demonstrated that students and teacher had positive views on using authentic learning in the social studies course. In addition to that, students also thought that the process of authentic learning contributed to them in developing several skills and qualities.

Published: October 2020

Com o aumento do crescimento populacional e para atender a demanda, é de suma importância procurar a obtenção de maiores produtividades, e um dos fatores que afeta bastante a produtividade são perdas oriundas da colheita, sendo que, as mesmas precisam ser reduzidas quando detectadas. Desta maneira objetivou-se, com este trabalho, quantificar as perdas em função do tipo de armação, durante o recolhimento do amendoim, e comparar qual armação foi a melhor para determinação das perdas. O experimento foi conduzido na safra 2019/2020, no município de Ribeirão Preto, estado de São Paulo. A área experimental foi instalada em sistema de Meiosi. O delineamento experimental foi em faixas contendo 2 tratamentos (armação circular e retangular) e 20 repetições, perfazendo 40 parcelas. Cada parcela possuiu o distanciamento de 80 m de comprimento entre si. A variável analisada foi perda total, que foi obtida pelo o somatório das perdas visíveis e invisíveis, que foi coletada durante o recolhimento. Após a coleta dos dados foi efetuado teste F e quando significativo foi usado o teste de Tukey. Através da análise estatística verificou-se alta variabilidade nos dados de perdas, um fato comum quando se trabalha com perdas e colheita mecanizada, encontrando-se  diferença estatística na comparação das perdas das diferentes armações, no qual a armação circular apresentou valores mais confiáveis devido ao fato de possuir uma representatividade maior da área.

As doenças fúngicas foliares constituem um dos fatores limitantes ao cultivo do amendoim no estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Este trabalho teve como objetivo explorar o potencial do anfidiploide sintético (A. magna x A. stenosperma)4x como fonte de resistência às manchas foliares no desenvolvimento de linhagens de A. hypogaea resistentes, com o auxílio de seleção assistida por marcadores moleculares (SAM). Foram utilizados marcadores microssatélites e SNPs ligados a QTLs para resistência à mancha preta e ferrugem, identificados em A. Stenosperma e A. magna, respectivamente. Após três gerações de retrocruzamentos com SAM, as famílias RC3F2 desenvolvidas foram plantadas na estação experimental de Pindorama, sem controle químico das doenças, mas com os demais tratos culturais recomendados para a cultura. As plantas foram avaliadas individualmente para mancha preta e ferrugem aos 120 dias após a semeadura; e, após a colheita das vagens, avaliou-se o peso de vagens por planta. A população tem variabilidade para resistência as manchas foliares e para produção. Algumas plantas mostraram-se tão ou mais resistentes às manchas foliares do que a cultivar IAC Sempre Verde, padrão de alta resistência e elevada produção. Também foi observada uma correlação entre a resistência às duas doenças, ou seja, plantas resistentes à mancha preta também mostraram resistência à ferrugem. Isso foi confirmado pela co-localização dos segmentos genômicos silvestres conferindo resistência às duas doenças. Entre as plantas mais resistentes observou-se ganhos de produção. Esse trabalho descreve a utilidade e a viabilidade do uso de espécies silvestres no melhoramento genético do amendoim.

Psychiatric knowledge in Russia: domestic traditions or scientific facts?
Authors: Sivolap Yury P. , Portnova Anna A.
Published: October 2020

Russian and world psychiatry are characterized by significant differences: the first can be called as the psychiatry of domestic traditions, and the second one as the psychiatry of scientific facts. Russian psychiatry is marked by emphatic devotion to national theoretical schools, an appeal in scientific discussions to the authority of famous psychiatrists of the past, a tendency to speculative psychopathological constructions, the use of archaic psychiatric terms with unclear content, insufficient attention to the principles of evidence-based medicine, or even outright disregard for these principles. The natural consequences of Russian psychiatrys traditionalism are the arbitrariness of psychiatric diagnosis and the frequent use of medicines and treatment methods without proper evidence of their effectiveness and safety.

La sostenibilidad del sistema de salud y el mercado farmacéutico: Una interacción permanente entre el costo de los medicamentos, el sistema de patentes y la atención a las enfermedades
Authors: Gómez Franco Tomás , Matarín Rodríguez-Peral Eva , García García Francisco
Published: October 2020

Ante la amenaza latente de futuras pandemias, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar –desde el eje de los medicamentos– la sostenibilidad del sistema sanitario, la cobertura, la eficiencia del gasto y su vinculación al sistema de patentes farmacéuticas. En este marco, el sistema de patentes farmacéuticas adquiere un papel determinante, dado que fomentar su existencia estimula la producción de investigación pero, a su vez, su existencia no suscita un rápido avance, debido al desarrollo legislativo protector que han tenido las patentes y que ha dado lugar a un acomodamiento de la industria. Como la industria farmacéutica ha conseguido extender la duración de patentes y evitar la incorporación de genéricos, se analiza la influencia de las patentes farmacéuticas que ha dado lugar a reflexionar acerca de la posibilidad de consorciar esfuerzos realizando alianzas entre varias empresas y el sector público para afrontar los retos que plantean nuevas enfermedades producidas por virus que dan lugar a epidemias y pandemias.

Published: October 2020

Many medical schools around the world have included professionalism training in their formal curriculum. However, these efforts may not be adequate; given the exposure of students to unprofessional behaviors in the clinical settings. In the present study, we aimed to design, implement, and evaluate a longitudinal program to improve professionalism among medical students upon their transition to clinical settings. A total of 75 medical students were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to two groups. The control group did not receive any training, while for the intervention group; a 10-hour program through 16 weeks was organized based on the Holmes' reflection approach. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated by measuring three outcomes in both groups. Data analysis was performed using paired t-test and Multiple Linear Regression. Scores of judgment of professionalism increased in the intervention group (from 7.56 to 10.17; P< 0.001), while there was no significant improvement in the control group’s scores. Students' attitudes towards professionalism and their professional behaviors did not change significantly. Based on our findings, the Holmes reflection approach helps students improve their cognitive base of professionalism. Long-term follow-up and further qualitative studies will help us better understand the effects of this approach on other desirable outcomes.

Analysis of Crisis in K-beauty (Korean Cosmetics) and Response Plan: Focusing on China and Southeast Asia
Authors: Kim Jin-Sook
Published: October 2020

This study attempted to i) investigate the causes of the crisis in K-beauty and the current situation, ii) seek a response plan through individualized strategies and competitiveness improvement, iii) assess the adequacy of domestic regulations, laws, and systems, which could weaken the export of makeup products, and iv) develop an improvement plan, focusing on the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets. In terms of the research method, an in-depth interview was performed among export managers from small & mid-sized enterprises as well as big businesses. In addition, literature and records, including objective statistics, industry analysis report, and policy data were analyzed. K-beauty’s popularity had declined sharply since it’s golden days. In fact, it hasn’t been able to find any solution to this issue in the Southeast Asian or Chinese markets, experiencing a dramatic decrease in sales and negative growth rates. As a way to overcome this crisis, the development of an individualized response strategy depending on the cause of the decreased competitiveness of K-beauty is required. Furthermore, it is necessary to have a plan to localize specialized cosmetics such as, natural, functional, bio, and all-in-one products, which can generate synergistic effects between the excellence of K-beauty and the propensities of the new generation abroad. Also, the cosmetics export policy authority needs to upgrade its regulatory policies to international levels in order to enhance the competitiveness of the domestic cosmetics industry. This study also suggested an overseas investment strategy and an overseas permit/approval agency for small and mid-sized enterprises, and the amendment enforcement of current punishment-centered cosmetics laws, as well as the removal of export inhibitors, such as redundant approval procedures.
Proposal of Nail Tip Size by Measuring Nail Size of Korean Women in Their 30s: Focusing on Size Comparison Through Direct Measurement and 3D Scanner Measurement
Authors: Lee Eun-Sil , Kim Eun-Sil
Published: October 2020

In recent years, the global economy has been shifting from manufacturing to service, and especially in the beauty industry, interest is increasing in the nail industry as well as in the theoretical field. With the introduction of nail art in Korea, it entered the mid-2000s, and even the self-nail group appeared. In addition, as the demand for online shopping malls and offline shopping malls surges, more and more consumers enjoy self-nailing. In addition, as it was revitalized around women in their 20s and 30s, looking at the tendency of domestic women in their 30s, the highest proportion of consumers who thought they were the consumer was the highest. In the meantime, the previous study suggests measurements of fingernail size and tip size, but the results of the previous study have only performed direct measurement. Therefore, in this study, direct measurement and 3D scanner measurement were measured for women in their 30s among domestic women. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the nail size of 30 nails, and then to suggest the size of the nail tip. In addition, it is of great significance that the measurement was attempted using a 3D scanner measurement method.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS: A REVIEW (In the press)
Authors: Nižetić S.
Published: October 2020

Photovoltaic (PV) technologies represent a key role in the ongoing energy transition towards the decarbonisation of convectional power systems and to reduce the harmful population impact to environment.  Nowadays, the majority of market available photovoltaic PV technologies are silicon based with a usual energy conversion efficiency of less than 20%. The major drawbacks of the widely used silicon PV technologies are related to performance degradation due to aging as well as performance drops that occur during periods of elevated operating temperatures. In order to improve performance, as well as the lifetime of the PV systems, various cooling techniques have been investigated in the last two decades. The main goal of the specific cooling approaches for PV panels is to ensure efficient thermal management, as well as economic suitability. In this review paper, different cooling strategies are categorized, discussed and thoroughly elaborated in order to provide deep insight related to an expected performance improvement and economic viability. The main results of this review indicate that the cooling approaches for PVs can ensure a performance improvement ranging from about 3% up to 30%, depending if passive or active cooling approaches are applied. The main results also indicate that the economic viability as well as environmental suitability of the specific cooling approaches is not sufficiently discussed in the existing research literature.

Authors: De Feo Pasquale , Ferraioli Fabrizio , Coppola Nunzia , Maritato Luigi
Published: October 2020

The effects of an external strain tensor on the electrical resistivity of a manganite granular system are investigated using a simple approach describing the induced deformation in terms of the tilt angle between adjacent grains. The results obtained assuming the resistivity of each grain as given by a metallic part, coming from the inner grain, and a surface related tunnel contribution, allow to estimate appreciable resistivity variations even in the case of small deformation angles.
Operational Optimization at Signalized Metering Roundabouts Using Cuckoo Search/Local Search Algorithm
Authors: An Hong Ki , Liu Yao , Kim Dong Sun
Published: October 2020

A metering roundabout where traffic is controlled by traffic lights with phase times influenced by queue detector occupancy might be the solution to enhance performance when there are unbalanced traffic flows at roundabouts. There have, however, been minimal studies on how the distance of the queue detector from the stop line affects signal phase time durations and the queuing lengths. This research, therefore, seeks to develop a Cuckoo Search/Local search Algorithm using parameters such as arrival volumes, conflicting volumes, detector distance and phase time to investigate the relationship of signal setting, detector location and queuing formulations. Also, some additional statistical tests were performed for the fitness of the data. In order to conduct solid model validations, model output data was compared against the AIMSUN model. The results from the analyses demonstrated that the queue detector distance can affect phase time durations and vehicle queuing lengths on the controlling approach as well as queuing lengths on the metered approach. This study showed that, based on the study for the Old Belair Road roundabout in Adelaide, South Australia, the total queue length (controlling + metered) will be minimized when the detector is relocated at 209 meters from the roundabout stop line, giving longer phase green times and resulting in decreased intersection queuing lengths.
Theoretical Study of FWM in Silicon Nitride Waveguides Integrated with Graphene Oxide Films
Authors: Moss David , Qu Yang , Wu Jiayang , Zhang Yuning , Jia Linnan , Liang Yao , Jia Baohua
Published: October 2020

We theoretically investigate and optimize four-wave mixing (FWM) in silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides integrated with two-dimensional (2D) layered graphene oxide (GO) films. Based on extensive previous measurements of the material parameters of the GO films, we perform detailed analysis for the influence of device parameters including waveguide geometry, GO film thickness, length, and coating position on the FWM conversion efficiency (CE) and conversion bandwidth (CB). The influence of dispersion and photo-thermal changes in the GO films is also discussed. Owing to the strong mode overlap between the SiN waveguides and the highly nonlinear GO films, FWM in the hybrid waveguides can be significantly enhanced. We obtain good agreement with previous experimental results and show that by optimizing the device parameters to balance the trade-off between Kerr nonlinearity and loss, the FWM CE can be improved by as much as ~20.7 dB and the FWM CB can be increased by ~4.4 folds, relative to the uncoated waveguides. These results highlight the significantly enhanced FWM performance that can be achieved in SiN waveguides by integrating 2D layered GO films.

Authors: Haq Ihtisham Ul , Lal Bhajan , Zaini Dzulkarnain
Published: October 2020

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is highly expected to be mitigating the discharges of carbon dioxide in a surrounding environment. Solvents are an integral part of CCS. So far, several solvents have been explored the interest of meeting the requirements such as accessibility, non-harmfulness, biocompatibility, recyclability, and inexpensiveness. However, most solvents face failure in fulfilling the requirements due to many factors, so, this review paper gives a brief discussion about another category of solvent, an analogue of ionic liquids (ILs) named deep eutectic solvent (DES). Extensive research has been done on DES in recent years because of their various attractive advantages, i.e., non-poisonousness, biodegradability, cheap cost and easy preparation, that make them as a promising green solvent for many industrial procedure and application, for instance, polymer synthesis, biodiesel treatment, green chemistry, electrochemistry etc. Therefore, this manuscript mainly focusses on CO2 capturing through DES in oil and gas field. In addition, the preparation and chemical structures of this novel solvent (DES) is also discussed. Moreover, a detailed study based on experimental solubility of CO2 in DESs is also reported in this article.

Aim. To determine the role of adherence to the basic drug treatment of heart failure (HF) in prevention of late major adverse events (MAEs) after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction at three-year follow-up.

Material and methods. A prospective non-controlled single-center study included 125 consecutive patients with stable CAD and LV EF<50% (62±8 years; 114 [91.2%] males), after isolated CABG. At three-year follow-up MAЕs occurred in 40 (32.0%) patients. The data on pharmacotherapy at followup were obtained in 124 patients: 85 (68.6%) patients without MAEs and 39 (31.4%) patients with MAEs.

Results. The enrolled sample of patients was characterized by high discharge prescription rate of renin-angiotensin system (RAS; 86.3%) blockers (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin-II receptors blockers), beta-blockers (BBs; 97.6%) and mineralocorticoid receptors antagonists (MRAs; 79.0%), being comparable in MAEs and non-MAEs groups. The total coverage of basic HF pharmacotherapy (the combination of RAS blockers, BBs and MRAs) at discharge was 66.1%. At follow-up, about one third of patients in both groups withheld previously prescribed triple HF therapy. The MAEs were associated with more frequent withhold of previously prescribed RAS blockers, as opposed to patients without MAEs (20.5% and 7.1%, respectively; р=0.009). The majority of patients in both groups continued BBs therapy at follow-up (95.0% and 92.9%, respectively; p=0.187). Additionally, we observed the decline of MRAs intake frequency at follow-up (to 43.6% and 49.4%, respectively; p=0.547).

Conclusion. During 3-year follow-up after isolated CABG, about one third of patients with stable CAD and baseline LVEF<50% interrupted triple basic HF therapy (including RAS blockers, BBs and MRAs), mainly due to decrease of RAS blockers and MRAs usage. MAEs in patients with stable CAD and baseline LVEF<50% after CABG were associated with suboptimal use and more frequent interruption of RAS blockers.

» The great variety of approaches used to manage spinal deformity in children who are younger than 10 years old confirms the lack of consensus regarding treatment for these extraordinary complex and evolving conditions.

» A patient’s deformity and associated clinical problems can involve the spine alone, the thorax alone, or, commonly, both. Additional challenges include bone quality, aberrant anatomy, compromised respiratory function, and numerous medical comorbidities—all in the setting of low body mass index (BMI) and a thin soft-tissue envelope.

» A multidisciplinary approach optimizes care by connecting experts to give the child a team-based approach to manage the spinal deformity, growth, the chest wall biomechanics, and lung alveolar maturation. In this article, we review general principles and a state-of-the-art approach to managing thoracic insufficiency and early-onset scoliosis.

Backgrounds: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an important commercial fruit tree, with moderate tolerance to salinity. The balance of Cl− and other anions in pomegranate tissues are affected by salinity, however, the accumulation patterns of anions are poorly understood. The chloride channel (CLC) gene family is involved in conducting Cl−, NO3−, HCO3− and I−, but its characteristics have not been reported on pomegranate.Results: In this study, we identified seven PgCLC genes, consisting of four antiporters and three channels, based on the presence of the gating glutamate (E) and the proton glutamate (E). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that seven PgCLCs were divided into two clades, with clade I containing the typical conserved regions GxGIPE (I), GKxGPxxH (II) and PxxGxLF (III), whereas clade II not. Multiple sequence alignment revealed that PgCLC-B had a P [proline, Pro] residue in region I, which was suspected to be a NO3–/H+ exchanger, while PgCLC-C1, PgCLC-C2, PgCLC-D and PgCLC-G contained a S [serine, Ser] residue, with a high affinity to Cl−. We determined the content of Cl−, NO3−, H2PO4−, and SO42− in pomegranate tissues after 18 days of salt treatments (0, 100, 200 and 300 mM NaCl). Compared with control, the Cl− content increased sharply in pomegranate tissues. Salinity inhibited the uptake of NO3− and SO42− , but accelerated H2PO4− uptake. The results of real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed that PgCLC genes had tissue-specific expression patterns. The high expression levels of three antiporters PgCLC-C1, PgCLC-C2 and PgCLC-D in leaves might be contributed to sequestrating Cl− into the vacuoles. However, the low expression levels of PgCLCs in roots might be associated with the exclusion of Cl− from root cells. Also, the up-regulated PgCLC-B in leaves indicated that more NO3− was transported into leaves to mitigate the nitrogen deficiency.Conclusions: Our findings suggested that the PgCLC genes played important roles in balancing of Cl− and NO3− in pomegranate tissues under salt stress. This study establishes a theoretical foundation for the further functional characterization of CLC genes in pomegranate.

Wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox) is one of the most popular winter-blooming species. Effective vegetative propagation is necessary for commercial usage and protection of wintersweet. In the current study, the four factors, namely hormone type (A), hormone concentration (B), soaking duration (C), and medium (D), were assessed using an L16 (44) orthogonal test design. The hormone types include ABT (A1), α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (A2), indole butyric acid (IBA) (A3), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (A4); the hormone concentrations include 100 mg·L−1 (B1), 500 mg·L−1 (B2), 1000 mg·L−1 (B3), and 1500 mg·L−1 (B4); the soaking durations include 5 seconds (C1), 5 minutes (C2), 30 minutes (C3), and 3 hours (C4); and the mediums include perlite: peat in the ratios 1:0 (D1), 2:1 (D2), 1:1 (D3), and 1:2 (D4). The results showed that hormone and proper medium could significantly improve the cutting survival, rooting, and sprouting, whereas poor factor combinations, especially high hormone concentrations combined with long soaking durations may be threatened to the cuttings and rooting. In actual experiments, we successfully obtained an excellent rooting percentage (62.22%) of wintersweet from treatment No. 5 (A2B1C2D3), which is perlite and peat (1:1) as the medium and soaking the cuttings in 100 mg·L−1 NAA for 5 minutes as the hormone treatment. This combination can already meet the requirements for commercial production. A range analysis showed that the medium and hormone concentration were the most important factors affecting the cutting of wintersweet. An analysis of variance also showed that the medium and hormone concentration can significantly or extremely significantly affect most cutting indicators. Moreover, our results revealed that an orthogonal design method is an effective tool for establishing an improved technique for cutting propagation.

The climate change expected for the coming decades it is expected an increase in the number of semi-arid regions worldwide and the frequency of climatic extremes. When climatic changes such as those expected for semi-arid regions occur in a conflict environment with no resilience structure, they can influence how factors that affect the environmental structure may also affect the social structure. To identify how the traditional use of native plant species can be influenced by a change in their availability in a certain area, 26 residents in the semi-arid region, were interviewed. Then, a Use Preference Pressure Index (UPPI) was applied to identify the most used species in the rural community of Santa Rita, located in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, Brazil. Sixteen species, classified into nine categories of use, were identified. The species with the highest use preference were sampling through damage analysis, identifying the types of extraction related to the categories used to determine the most worrying issues. The used species also had high potential for other medicinal purposes. The current uses recorded in Santa Rita showed a high potential for adaptation to landscape changes toward the reduction of vegetation loss impacts, as a response to climatic variability.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar o desempenho, através de indicadores contábil-financeiros, entre bancos da B3 listados e não listados na carteira do índice de sustentabilidade empresarial que disponibilizaram seus demonstrativos contábeis do período de 2016 a 2018 em endereços eletrônicos. A pesquisa classifica-se como descritiva do tipo documental e uma abordagem quantitativa. Os indicadores econômicos financeiros utilizados nessa pesquisa foram a independência financeira, o retorno sobre o patrimônio líquido, a margem líquida, a margem financeira e a lucratividade dos ativos. As evidências encontradas indicam não existir sinergia suficiente para assegurar que a participação na carteira de sustentabilidade interfere nos indicadores econômico-financeiros das instituições financeiras estudadas. Uma vez que, com os resultados obtidos não foi possível afirmar que a participação na carteira do índice de sustentabilidade empresarial representa superioridade no desempenho financeiro. Além de que, também foi possível concluir que os bancos não pertencentes à carteira, apresentaram melhores resultados nos indicadores de margem financeira e lucratividade dos ativos.

El consumo de alcohol en menores de edad representa un problema social y de salud pública de magnitud considerable. La investigación muestra que la familia es una instancia determinante del riesgo de consumo de sustancias por parte de niños, niñas y adolescentes. Existe evidencia acerca de que la familia puede incidir de manera diferencial de acuerdo con el género, en un contexto en que ha aumentado la proporción de mujeres que consumen sustancias, por lo que esta investigación indagó acerca de la permisividad familiar según el género, en 3064 estudiantes de colegios públicos de Bogotá D.C. Los análisis mostraron el peso de las variables relativas a la permisividad parental, particularmente en el inicio del consumo y en la favorabilidad al consumo de alcohol, en ambos géneros.
