Published: September 2019

The use of Efficient Microorganisms (EM) can be an effective alternative to improve plant growth and yield in the bean cultivation. Therefore, different forms of application of efficient microorganisms were evaluated in the production of two cultivars of the common bean from November of 2013 to March of 2014. Two factors were studied; the first one was comprised of the two cultivars, Velazco Largo (VL) and Cuba Cueto (CC-25-9-N). The second factor consisted of four treatments with EM; without EM (control), soil inoculation (100 mL L-1), foliage applications (100 mL L-1), and the combined soil inoculation (100 mL L-1) plus foliar applications (100 mL L-1). The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, in factorial outline 2×4, with three repetitions. The agronomic indicators were evaluated as the number of leaves per plant, the height of plants, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, the mass of 100 seeds (g) and the yield (t ha-1). The results showed that the different forms of application of efficient microorganisms stimulated the agronomic indicators evaluated in both crops. The associated applications between the inoculation of the soil and foliage applications of efficient microorganisms provided better results, producing increments in the yield of 1.13 t ha-1 in VL and 2.15 t ha-1 in CC-25-9-N.

Genetic parameters such as leaf relative water content, leaf chlorophyll content, plant height, above-ground biomass, harvest index, grain yield, and grain yield components of Bousselam/Mrb5 durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) cross were estimated based on generation means analysis. A, B, C, and D scaling and Chi-square (χ2) tests revealed the inadequacy of the simple additive-dominance model. This result suggests the presence of digenic epistasis for most studied traits; the duplicate epistasis was present for relative water content, above-ground biomass, and grain yield; and complementary epistasis was observed for chlorophyll content. Significant genotypic correlation coefficients appeared among grain yield, relative water content, and above-ground biomass. This suggests useful indirect selection criteria to improve simultaneously these traits, which showed significant heritability. It can be concluded that the traits investigated show a complex genetic behavior, which implies that early selection would be less efficient; therefore, it is recommended delaying the selection to advanced generations to benefit from the reduction of non-fixable genetic variation and exploit transgressive segregators due to the significant interaction additivity×additivity (i) of the gene and duplicated epistasis.
Reducing medical student debt: 12 practical tips for innovative service commitment awards
Authors: Schmude Michelle , McNamara Suzanne , Seymore Roxanne
Published: September 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. At Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine (GCSOM), we are developing strategies to reduce the rising debt of our medical students. During a collaborative and iterative process that involved a surprisingly wide group of stakeholders, we developed an innovative service commitment award for medical students: the Abigail Geisinger Scholars Program. Beginning with the spring 2019, GCSOM selected 10 current students for the program, and an additional 10 medical students from the class of 2023 will receive the award beginning in fall 2019. With 20 students enrolled in the Abigail Geisinger Scholars Program, student debt for these students will be decreased by approximately $3.9 million. The potential of this program to significantly reduce medical student debt while repopulating the physician shortage in the primary service areas of Geisinger is tremendous. As the loan debt of medical students continues to rise, medical schools around the country should strategically think about innovative ways to reduce this burden while remaining true to the mission of their institution.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Objective To characterize Salvador-Bahia community gardens, with regard to social organization, work, supply and access to food, in line with the concept of Food Security. Methods A cross-sectional, exploratory study was carried out involving information collection, identification and selection of community gardens. Seven community gardens were located, although only five participated, with data collected through the application of semi-structured questionnaires, used with 13 horticulturists. Results Most of the gardens (80.0%) were located in popular neighborhoods and had been in place for less than five years; they operated with no land legalization (80.0%), in assigned areas (80.0%) and without any technical support (100.0%). No social organization was available in most of the initiatives (60.0%). The greatest difficulties included: lack of funding (80.0%) and volunteers for work (80.0%), as well as water use restrictions (80.0%). The crops included different fruits and vegetables, for self-consumption (80.0%), donation (60.0%), and/or commercialization (40.0%). Horticulturists included women (50.0%) and men (50.0%), mean age 44.8 years, education between illiterates (25.0%) and upper level (37.5%), rural migrants (50.0%) and experienced farmers (62.5%). Positive aspects included the production and access to natural food and the pleasure of working with earth. Conclusion Insufficient policies limited technical support and financing were observed in this segment, although there were contributions to the generation of work opportunities, supply and access to food. The study showed a strong link between community gardens and strategies to promote Food and Nutrition Security.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND We investigated the serum annexin V and anti-annexin V levels and their relationship with metabolic parameters in patients recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic. METHODS A total of 143 patients recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes and 133 control subjects were included in the study. Body mass index (BMI), hs-CRP, HOMA-IR, carotid intima-media thickness, and serum levels of annexin V and anti-annexin V were investigated. RESULTS HOMA-IR, serum hs-CRP, and carotid intima-media thickness were found to be statistically significant. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between the carotid intima-media thickness and the annexin V level (r=0.29, p=0.006*). A statistically significant positive relationship was also detected between the Annexin V level and level of serum hs-CRP (r=0.29 p=0.006*). CONCLUSION A positive relationship was observed between the carotid intima-media thickness and annexin V at the end of our investigation. In this regard, we also believe that serum levels of annexin V may be increased for cardiovascular protection in the elevation of carotid intima-media thickness.
Time management of Internal Medicine medicalresidents, São Paulo, Brasil
Authors: Torres Rafael Augusto Tamasauskas , Fischer Frida Marina
Published: September 2019

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Medical Residency is a recognized form of professional qualification, but there are criticisms regarding the overload of work activities. Given the length of the daily and weekly workdays, residents develop practices that enable them to reconcile the Residency with their personal life. AIM To describe time management strategies in the daily routine of Internal Medicine Medical Residents of a university hospital in São Paulo, Brasil. METHODS Eight interviews were conducted with resident physicians of the second year, addressing aspects of personal and family life, theoretical study, practical activities, and work bonds. Content analysis was carried out using the MaxQDA software. RESULTS Six thematic categories emerged from the reports: work organization at the Medical Residency; learning and/or professional activities; housing, financial planning, and household activities; time for leisure and interpersonal relationship; family planning/children; rest/sleep. DISCUSSION Several strategies are adopted for time management: residing near the hospital, domestic activities helped by housekeepers, postponement of maternity leave, and social support centered on interacting with other residents. There are paid activities not associated with the Residency, which lead to reduced time for rest, study, and leisure, with a greater loss during work at night shifts. CONCLUSIONS Residents experience a period of intense learning, which requires a high workload and complex work. The evaluation of the work organization of medical residents should include not only time for rest but also time management strategies for daily activities, which can reduce the negative outcomes associated with long working hours.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Framingham risk score (FRS) and risk score by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (SR ACC/AHA) in predicting mortality of patients ten years after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study that included patients aged ≥ 18 years with ACS who were hospitalized at the Coronary Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Botucatu Medical School Hospital from January 2005 to December of 2006. RESULTS A total of 447 patients were evaluated. Of these, 118 were excluded because the mortality in 10 years was not obtained. Thus, 329 patients aged 62.9 ± 13.0 years were studied. Among them, 58.4% were men, and 44.4% died within ten years of hospitalization. The median FRS was 16 (14-18) %, and the ACC/AHA RS was 18.5 (9.1-31.6). Patients who died had higher values of both scores. However, when we classified patients at high cardiovascular risk, only the ACC/AHA RS was associated with mortality (p <0.001). In the logistic regression analysis, both scores were associated with mortality at ten years (p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both FRS and SR ACC/AHA were associated with mortality. However, for patients classified as high risk, only the ACC/AHA RS was associated with mortality within ten years.

Published: September 2019

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent event among critically ill patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU) and represents a global public health problem, being imperative an interdisciplinary approach. OBJECTIV To investigate, through literature review, the AKI epidemiology in ICUs. METHODS: Online research in Medline, Scientific Electronic Library Online, and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences databases, with analysis of the most relevant 47 studies published between 2010 and 2017. RESULTS Data of the 67,033 patients from more than 300 ICUs from different regions of the world were analyzed. The overall incidence of AKI ranged from 2.5% to 92.2%, and the mortality from 5% to 80%. The length of ICU stay ranged from five to twenty-one days, and the need for renal replacement therapy from 0.8% to 59.2%. AKI patients had substantially higher mortality rates and longer hospital stays than patients without AKI. CONCLUSION AKI incidence presented high variability among the studies. One of the reasons for that were the different criteria used to define the cases. Availability of local resources, renal replacement therapy needs, serum creatinine at ICU admission, volume overload, and sepsis, among others, influence mortality rates in AKI patients.
Ninguém ensina História... mas todo mundo aprende um pouco com ela: uma reflexão sobre as funções da História no Ensino Médio
Authors: Mello Ricardo Marques de
Published: September 2019

RESUMO Neste artigo, apresento a ideia de que a História no Ensino Médio não é ensinável. Para sustentá-la, argumento que: 1) os acontecimentos históricos não são passíveis de ensinamento porque a res gestae é de natureza informativa e explicativa; 2) ensino pressupõe a apropriação de um conhecimento adaptável a outras circunstâncias, tempos e espaços, o que é impertinente no caso da História, dada a irrepetibilidade dos seus fenômenos. Para ilustrar meu argumento, analiso as expressões “consciência histórica”, do historiador Jörn Rüsen, e “pensar historicamente”, do autor de livro didático Mario Schmidt. A partir dessa análise, sustento que o que frequentemente denominamos ensino de História se traduz, em linhas gerais, a ensinamentos ético-morais e de elementos das teorias historiográficas. E, por fim, faço uma diferenciação entre ensino e aprendizagem, concluindo que, embora a História não seja “matéria” ensinável, podemos aprender muito com ela.

Published: September 2019

Abstract The pollen collected by eusocial bees is often reported as being healthy food due to its important nutritional and therapeutic properties. However, studies reporting such properties are rare, especially for pollen collected by the genus Melipona in northeastern Brazil, which is the focus of this research. Pollen from seven species of stingless bees was analysed for its nutritional composition (sugar, lipid, protein and amino acids). The phenolic compound profile was described based on fourteen phenolic compounds (apigenin, kaempferol, luteolin, naringin, rutin, gallic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, abscisic acid, protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid and trans-cinnamic acid). The antioxidant property was analysed by quantifying of total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and DPPH. Chromatographic methods were used to identify and quantify the phenolic compounds and amino acids. The pollen samples from the bees under study showed good concentrations of proteins and amino acids and good antioxidant potential. The phenolic compounds luteolin, trans-cinnamic acid and apigenin were identified and described in pollen for the first time. Of the amino acids analysed, asparigine, glutamic acid, leucine and proline showed the highest concentrations. The research related to the theme showed that this is one of the first studies to identify and quantify the phenolic compounds and amino acids in stingless bee pollen, reflecting its importance in therapeutic use and as a food supplement.

Published: September 2019

Abstract Osmotic dehydration of kiwi was evaluated using 45, 55 and 65 °Brix sucrose solutions. Free moisture, water activity and solutes gain decreased in fruit during the process. Water loss rates were higher in the beginning of drying. Water activity decrease was higher when the product was in 65 °Brix solution. The equilibrium moisture content estimated by the Peleg model decreased significantly with increasing concentration of the osmotic solution, and the diffusivity values of water loss were in the range from 1.5 × 10-9 to 1.9 × 10-9 m2 s-1. The osmotic pressures of the solutions were also predicted.

Published: September 2019

Abstract Seaweeds have a growing number of successful applications in the food industry, medicine and in the cosmetic industry, which increases the importance of evaluating their chemical composition. In the present study, three common Egyptian seaweeds (Dictyota dichotoma, Turbinaria decurrens and Laurencia obtusa) were collected from the Red Sea coast, Suez, Egypt. The chemical profile of the three seaweeds was studied beside the antioxidant activity of their extracts. The results indicated that the amount of carbohydrate was greater than the protein and lipid contents in the three seaweeds, with a natural richness in minerals and antioxidants besides considerable amounts of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. All essential amino acids for human were found in the three seaweeds, with significant amounts of aspartic and glutamic acids. Furthermore, the results of the antioxidant activity assays were consistent with the antioxidant contents (phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, vitamin C, carotenoids) of each seaweed. D. dichotoma was the most valuable seaweed of the three species studied, due to its relatively high protein content of 7.28 ± 0.25%, moderate carbohydrate content of 25.35 ± 0.32%, and highest pigment and antioxidant contents. In conclusion, these three seaweeds, especially Dictyota dichotoma, have an interesting chemical composition with a prospective nutritional and pharmaceutical value.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the impact of oral health on quality of life and to examine the association with sociodemographic, clinical staging and dental variables in women diagnosed with breast cancer. Methods This is an observational cross-sectional study with sample composed of 89 women treated at a Reference Hospital in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, between January and December 2012. Two scripts in the form of interviews were used, one to record participants’ information; and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), to evaluate the impacts produced by the oral condition on quality of life. Descriptive analysis of data was performed. The comparison of the percentage of the impact dimensions with independent variables was tested by the chi-square test or the Fisher exact test, when appropriate. To assess the strength of association between exposure and event, odds ratio was calculated. Significance level of 5% was adopted. Results The impact was 28.1%, there was a statistically significant association with variables income (p = 0.039) and reason for the visit to the oral health professional (p = 0.012). Conclusion Studies on quality of life of cancer patients are of fundamental importance for understanding the impact of oral health problems on quality of life.

ABSTRACT Objective to investigate the quality of root canal treatments performed by undergraduate students. Methods 274 root-filled teeth (excluding molars) from the Department of Endodontology of the Federal University of Santa Catarina in a nine-year period were selected and evaluated by two calibrated examiners. The evaluation was based on tooth type, number of root canals, presence or absence curvature, length of filling material considered the radiographic apex as reference (considered adequate shorter than 2mm from radiographic apex), filling material density, filling taper, and overall quality of RCT. Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were performed to analyze associations between variables of interest (p<0.05). Results 197 RCT were classified as acceptable (71.9%). The frequency of adequate RCT was significantly higher in incisor (79.4%) than in premolars (66.4%) or canines (58.1%) (p=0.015). The number of canals did not influence root canal quality in this sample (p>0.05). The factor more frequently identified as unacceptable was filling length (26.6%). All RCT performed in curved teeth and classified as unacceptable were underfilled. Procedural errors, such as perforations or instrumental separation, were not found in this sample. Conclusion The most common criteria identified as unacceptable was the length of the filling material. Incisors had better quality assessment rates than canines and premolars. The high-quality rates found in this sample may be linked to the professor/student rates.
Blood Donors’ Perception of Incentive Campaigns

Published: September 2019

Abstract Voluntary blood donation is the only way to supply the hemotherapic system in Brazil and it depends on the population. Inductive campaigns are tools to attract donors, but they seem not to be influencing the donation behavior. This study aimed to investigate the donors’ perception of incentive campaigns for donation. Six donors participated; a number defined by saturation of the content. Data were collected through a sociodemographic questionnaire and semi-structured interview about the motivations to donate, donors’ perception of campaigns to which they were exposed, and their donation experiences. The thematic analysis was used to examine the data. Participants perceive a lack of emotional appeal and insufficient use of social media in campaigns to encourage donation. Results suggest campaigns should use different strategies to reach other audiences, increase the presence in social media, and relate positive feelings to the act of donating.

Published: September 2019

Resumo A expansão do perímetro urbano para construção de conjuntos habitacionais ou mesmo para regularizações de ocupações espontâneas é uma realidade nas cidades brasileiras. À medida que a cidade cresce, são aterrados córregos e lagoas, cortadas encostas e ocupadas margens de rios e áreas naturais. As questões socioambientais estão cada vez mais presentes nas propostas de planejamento e ordenamento do território. Neste artigo, é analisada a relação entre os planos diretores e a expansão urbana, diante dos novos desafios ambientais apresentados ao planejamento e à gestão urbana, tendo como foco a cidade de Teresina, no Piauí. Foram realizadas revisão bibliográfica e discussão do tema. Foram executados levantamento e análise documental de instrumentos regulatórios, planos e programas municipais, observando os planos diretores e a legislação que os ampara. Os principais problemas urbanos destacados em seus planos foram: a drenagem urbana precária, a falta de aterro sanitário, o desmatamento, as queimadas e as dificuldades na mobilidade e no transporte urbano. O novo plano diretor Agenda Teresina 2030 e a legislação mais recente apontam para melhores cenários no futuro da cidade, mas ainda é preciso maior eficiência na construção da sustentabilidade urbana.
Resíduos volumosos no município de São Paulo: gerenciamento e valorização
Authors: Ito Marcia Harumi , Colombo Renata
Published: September 2019

Resumo O tratamento e a destinação dos resíduos sólidos ocorrem de diferentes formas mediante o desenvolvimento econômico, tecnológico e cultural de cada país. No Brasil, apesar das diversas legislações regulamentando o gerenciamento destes resíduos, vários impactos socioambientais têm sido constatados e associados ao descarte irregular e/ou inadequado dos mesmos. Entre os resíduos que possuem uma complexa problemática de gestão e possibilidade de aperfeiçoamento estão os resíduos sólidos volumosos. Neste estudo realizou-se uma análise do modelo atual de gerenciamento dos resíduos volumosos no município de São Paulo, com apontamento para os pontos críticos e propostas de diretrizes para um gerenciamento mais adequado do ponto de vista socioambiental. Os dados do modelo atual foram obtidos a partir da coleta de informações públicas e visitas in loco aos Ecopontos do município. Os resultados indicam a falta de gerenciamento de alguns resíduos volumosos pelos Ecopontos e que os resíduos que são recebidos por estas unidades são atualmente dispostos em aterros podendo ter direções de valorização. Destaca-se também a falta de programas de Educação Ambiental e uma má qualidade da segregação na fonte. As diretrizes de gerenciamento e valorização propostas estão baseadas nos modelos em funcionamento no exterior e em sistemas de reaproveitamento, preconizados nas legislações Brasileiras.
Gestão socioambiental nas grandes cidades: por que olhar do Brasil para as iniciativas das megalópoles indianas?
Authors: Mercher Leonardo
Published: September 2019

Resumo Diante dos diversos modelos de gestão pública no mundo, é valido observar outras experiências em realidades socioambientais mais semelhantes às cidades brasileiras em desenvolvimento. No cenário do BRICS – Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul –, o presente texto identifica as três maiores cidades indianas, Mumbai, Déli e Bangalore, como uma possibilidade de difusão de políticas públicas às cidades brasileiras, dada a proximidade de fatores, como clima tropical, favelização, corrupção pública e desigualdade social. A hipótese levantada é de que a realidade indiana seria mais próxima à realidade brasileira do que as realidades europeias (incluindo a Rússia) ou a realidade chinesa, mas os meios de difusão da informação no Brasil pouco tratam das experiências indianas. Para testar a hipótese, faz-se a análise de dados econômicos, demográficos, sociais e ambientais de fontes governamentais e de organismos internacionais, como do BRICS, PNUD, UN-Habitat e Banco Mundial nos anos 2000 e 2010, bem como dos maiores think tanks no Brasil em Relações Internacionais: CEBRI e BRICS Policy Center. Como resultado, observa-se que os desafios das grandes cidades indianas e brasileiras são semelhantes, porém há pouco material em língua portuguesa nos think tanks de Relações Internacionais que orientam as práticas de gestores públicos brasileiros.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between dysnatremias or dyschloremias and mortality during hospitalization in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing acute hemodialysis. Methods: We carried out a retrospective cohort study on adult patients undergoing acute hemodialysis with AKI or CKD diagnosis at a public hospital in Lima, Peru. Dysnatremias were categorized as hyponatremia (Na < 135mmol/L) or hypernatremia (Na > 145mmol/L), and dyschloremias were defined as hypochloremia (Cl < 98 mmol/L) or hyperchloremia (Cl > 109mmol/L). The outcome of interest was mortality during hospitalization. We performed generalized lineal Poisson family models with bias-corrected and accelerated non-parametric bootstrap to estimate the risk ratios at crude (RR) and adjusted analysis (aRR) by gender, age, HCO3 (for all patients) and Liaño score (only for AKI) with CI95%. Results: We included 263 patients (mean age: 54.3 years, females: 43%): 191 with CKD and 72 with AKI. Mortality was higher in patients with AKI (59.7%) than in patients with CKD (14.1%). In overall, patients with hypernatremia had a higher mortality during hospitalization compared to those who had normal sodium values (aRR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.17-2.83); patients with hyponatremia did not have different mortality (aRR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.69-2.04). We also found that hyperchloremia (aRR: 1.35, 95% CI: 0.83-2.18) or hypochloremia (aRR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.30-14.78) did not increase mortality in comparison to normal chloride values. No association between dysnatremias or dyschloremias and mortality during hospitalization was found in CKD and AKI subgroups. Conclusions: In our exploratory analysis, only hypernatremia was associated with mortality during hospitalization among patients with AKI or CKD undergoing acute hemodialysis.

Published: September 2019

Abstract Introduction: Renal fibrosis is the end point of a process that begins at transplant, with ischemia reperfusion and early inflammation, and progresses over time with immunological and non-immunological phenomena. Early identification of morphological markers and intervention could improve graft function and survival. Objective: to evaluate the correlation between intensity and specificity of pre-transplant anti-HLA antibodies and kidney allograft pathology in order to identify early risk factors or markers of allograft dysfunction. Methods: A retrospective cohort of kidney transplant recipients with pre-transplant anti-HLA antibodies who underwent graft biopsy within the first two years post-transplant was divided into two groups according to the specificity of anti-HLA antibodies: nonspecific (non-DSA, n = 29) and specific (DSA+, n = 16). Kidney graft pathology, renal function, and proteinuria were analyzed. Results: general characteristics were similar in both groups, except for the higher dose of thymoglobulin in DSA+ group (p < 0.05). The non-DSA group had higher scores for glomerulosclerosis, interstitial inflammation (i) and interstitial fibrosis (ci) (p < 0.05) and higher incidence of cell-mediated acute rejection. No statistical difference in incidence of antibody-mediated rejection, renal function, and proteinuria was observed during follow up. Discussion and conclusions: the difference in inflammation scores and interstitial fibrosis may be associated to the higher incidence of acute cell-mediated rejection and polyomavirus nephropathy in the Non-DSA group. We also should take into account the protective effect of higher doses of thymoglobulin, reducing ischemia reperfusion injury in the DSA+ group. The short follow-up might have been insufficient to detect long-term changes in allograft tissue, renal function, and proteinuria.

RESUMO O Cerrado é um importante domínio fitogeográfico brasileiro, uma vez que abrange porcentagem considerável do território nacional. Nesse domínio há estimativas de 241 a 284 espécies de samambaias e licófitas, apesar disso, há poucos trabalhos ressaltando-as nesse ambiente, assim o objetivo desse estudo foi realizar um levantamento das plantas vasculares sem sementes de uma área de Cerrado, localizada no Pará; bem como apresentar uma chave de identificação para as espécies. Para isso empregamos o método de caminhamento em áreas com vegetação de terra firme nas encostas, em afloramentos rochosos e nas entradas de cavernas. Obtivemos duas espécies de licófitas e 18 de samambaias, pertencentes a nove famílias, sendo Pteridaceae, Anemiaceae e Polypodiaceae as mais representativas, o que também foi verificado em estudos similares nesse domínio. Duas espécies sem registros em herbários da região norte foram encontradas: Anemia elegans (Gardner) C. Presl e Cheilanthes eriophora (Fée) Mett. Uma chave de identificação foi elaborada para as espécies, empregando caracteres reprodutivos e vegetativos. Estudos florísticos que incluem Pteridófitas são importantes porque contribuem para ampliar nosso conhecimento sobre a biologia e a distribuição desse grupo de plantas no Cerrado, bem como na flora paraense.

Published: September 2019

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar os efeitos de uma estratégia de aquecimento (AV) e desaquecimento vocal (DV) em professores. Método Estudo exploratório quase-experimental, cego ao avaliador, com grupo controle composto por professores de uma escola pública de ensino médio. Os professores, alocados no grupo experimental (GE), realizaram AV prévio e DV posterior à aula. Os professores do grupo controle (GC) não realizaram AV prévio e ficaram em repouso vocal após a aula. Compararam-se os dados intergrupos (GE vs. GC) e intragrupos (pré vs. pós-teste), segundo avaliação perceptivo-auditiva, análise acústica e desconforto autorreferido. Calcularam-se as médias dos indicadores acústicos e de desconforto; o percentual de melhora ou piora na avaliação perceptivo-auditiva, considerando-se p<0,05 como nível de significância. Resultados GE e GC não diferiram entre si na análise intergrupos em nenhum dos indicadores avaliados. Na análise intragrupos, AV melhorou a qualidade vocal e reduziu o grau de desconforto no corpo; DV diminuiu tanto a frequência fundamental (f0) quanto o grau de desconforto, particularmente nos aspectos relacionados à voz. O repouso vocal não revelou diferença estatística. Conclusão AV demonstrou efeitos positivos na avaliação perceptivo-auditiva e no desconforto autorreferido (corpo). DV impactou f0 e desconforto autorreferido (voz). Devido ao caráter exploratório do estudo, não houve poder suficiente para demonstrar diferença na comparação entre GE e GC. Porém, os resultados obtidos indicam potencial proteção para a voz de professores, podendo ser incorporados no cotidiano de trabalho docente. Novos estudos controlados, com amostra aleatória e maior número de participantes, devem ser realizados para se comprovar tais resultados.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a associação entre egressos de Fonoaudiologia inseridos no mercado de trabalho com as variáveis sociodemográficas, aspectos da situação e da satisfação profissional. Métodos Estudo observacional analítico de delineamento transversal, com amostra não probabilística de 196 egressos de Fonoaudiologia de uma universidade pública brasileira, que trabalhavam como fonoaudiólogos. O instrumento utilizado foi um questionário distribuído de forma online e física e, neste estudo, os eixos de investigação foram compostos por questões sociodemográficas, aspectos de situação e de satisfação profissional. Para as análises de associação foi utilizado o teste Qui-Quadrado de Pearson, sendo considerado significante o valor de p≤0,05. Resultados Houve associação entre quem trabalha exclusivamente como fonoaudiólogo com as variáveis faixa salarial (p=0,003), carga horária de trabalho (p=0,001), situação econômica após conclusão do curso (p=0,004), continuidade dos estudos (p≤0,001), percepção de realização profissional (p=0,008) e financeira (p=0,012). Conclusão A percepção dos egressos de Fonoaudiologia inseridos no mercado de trabalho revela uma avaliação positiva da profissão. Trabalhar exclusivamente como fonoaudiólogo tem relação com a faixa salarial, carga horária de trabalho, percepção de realização profissional e melhora da situação econômica, após conclusão do curso. Embora a maioria dos egressos não esteja realizada financeiramente, eles avançam na continuidade dos estudos.
Laboratório Sensorial: uma proposta de ativação do corpo

Published: September 2019

Este artigo apresenta um ensaio poético-fotográfico sobre o Laboratório Sensorial, um dispositivo do projeto de extensão universitária Expressão e Transformação, vinculado ao Instituto de Psicologia da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil (UFRJ). Inspirado na Fenomenologia e na Arte Contemporânea, o laboratório é uma proposta de sensibilização corporal que busca desnaturalizar a percepção e os modos cotidianos automatizados de estar no mundo. Os participantes são convidados a vendar os olhos e a serem conduzidos por um percurso de estimulações sensoriais no qual experimentam texturas, odores e sonoridades em temporalidades distintas das do cotidiano. Em seguida, registram suas experiências em mapas corporais. Nas diversas edições realizadas, percebemos que a experiência vivida expande a percepção de si e do outro, avivando uma potência poética de expressão e memória do corpo. Originada na Psicologia Clínica, esta proposta dialoga com outras disciplinas e linguagens, articulando as dimensões ética, estética e política da existência.

Este trabalho objetiva apresentar o ensaio fotográfico das paredes do antigo presídio Desembargador Luiz de Oliveira Souza, em Arapiraca, Alagoas, Brasil. Trata-se de um produto do projeto de extensão intitulado “Itinerários, mostras de vidas”, cujo objetivo é debater a realidade social sob a ótica do diálogo entre diferentes formas de expressão. Após desativação, o prédio foi doado à Universidade Federal de Alagoas (Ufal), sendo incorporado ao campus Arapiraca. Assim, surgiu a necessidade de manter um registro post factum do que um dia foi lugar de cumprimentos de penas. Trata-se de um ensaio capaz de revelar o cotidiano dos indivíduos que lá estiveram. Sob as lentes da câmera, as imagens contam-nos uma história.
La respuesta educativa a los alumnos más capaces en los planes de atención a la diversidad
Authors: Diez Lorenzo Pérez , Fernández Carmen Jiménez
Published: September 2019

Resumen La atención a la diversidad es un principio básico del sistema educativo español y su finalidad es dar respuesta a las necesidades de los estudiantes escolarizados en sus centros. En esta diversidad, los estudiantes de altas capacidades han ido adquiriendo cierta visibilidad en el diagnóstico y la intervención. La normativa nacional establece el Plan de Atención a la Diversidad (PAD de aquí en adelante) como el instrumento básico para planificar, implementar y evaluar las medidas de atención a la diversidad de diferentes colectivos, entre ellos, el de los alumnos más capaces. Mediante la técnica del análisis de contenido, esta colaboración analiza los PAD en una muestra de centros escolares de la provincia de Palencia perteneciente a la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León. Concluye que, en dichos planes, la presencia de medidas educativas dirigidas a los más capaces es nula o meramente testimonial no trascendiendo más allá de la normativa en la que se fundamentan, resultando ser una necesidad desarrollar estos planes en la práctica educativa real.
O Estatuto Linguístico da Língua Brasileira de Sinais e a Superação do Estigma na Educação de Surdos
Authors: SENNA Luiz Antonio Gomes
Published: September 2019

RESUMO Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar o estatuto linguístico da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS) e as restrições que lhe têm sido impostas em virtude da sobreposição de valores oriundos de representações sociais e acadêmicas referentes à palavra. Defende-se aqui que apenas parcialmente se obteve êxito na determinação do estatuto linguístico da LIBRAS, pois, em que pese seu reconhecimento como língua natural, ainda persiste uma leitura de sua estrutura e de seu funcionamento baseada em pressupostos pertencentes ao domínio da palavra. Em consequência disso, tende-se a reforçar o estigma social do sujeito surdo, particularmente no contexto da educação escolar, por meio do que se caracterizará como espetáculo da superação. Trata-se de uma abordagem teórica que busca refletir sobre a real situação da LIBRAS no desenvolvimento da educação escolar do indivíduo surdo, a partir de quatro pontos de vista que se intercomplementam, nos campos da filosofia, da linguística e da psicologia social. Com essa análise, a título de conclusão, focaliza-se a questão da educação escolar do surdo e o papel que nela pode exercer o desenvolvimento de um estatuto linguístico pleno para a LIBRAS.

Abstract Aim Anthropogenic modifications in the landscape are accelerating biogeochemical cycles and causing unbalances in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems with still unknow impacts on biotic and abiotic processes. Therefore, there has been increasing scientific interest in the links between human activities and ecosystems functions. Methods Here we review the role of aquatic sediments in the carbon and pollutant cycle. Results We briefly explore the historical context, origin, and composition of the sediments, as well as the factors that influence the processes of carbon and contaminants cycling and the role of sediments in the greenhouse gases emissions in aquatic ecosystems. Conclusions Aquatic sediments can help to understand the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem changes, once they are good sentinels, reflecting key biogeochemical processes over time.
