ABSTRACT: In horses, acid-base balance disorders are common after intense exercise, with metabolic acidosis being the most common after high intensity and short duration exercise. Understanding the processes that cause them is fundamental for procedures, which aimed to improve the physical fitness of horses for athletic purposes, with fewer changes in homeostasis. The present study assessed the effect of barrel racing on acid base balance in Quarter Horse, at the following times: T0 - immediately before training; T1 - immediately after the end of the second course; T2 - one hour after the end of the second course. In T1, there was decrease (P<0.05) in the pH, HCO3 -, pCO2, cBase, tCO2 and strong ion difference concentrations, while the plasma lactate and anion gap increased (P<0.05). It was concluded that barrel racing training caused transient metabolic acidosis in the horses, and hyperlactatemia was still present after an hour of rest.

ABSTRACT: The serological responses induced by four commercial inactivated Uruguayan vaccines against bovine alphaherpesviruses (BoHV)-1 and -5 and bovine pestiviruses (BVDV-1, BVDV-2, and HoBiPeV) were evaluated in sheep. Thirty-seven sheep were immunized twice (day 0 and 25) and their serum samples were tested at different intervals (days 0, 25, 40, 60, and 90) post-vaccination (PV). Among the four vaccines tested, only one (G4) could induce the production of moderate neutralizing antibody titers against BoHV-1 and -5 and BVDV-1 and -2. The G3 vaccine showed a neutralizing serological response against the bovine alphaherpesviruses only. The G1 and G2 vaccines produced extremely low levels of antibodies in a few vaccinated animals only (geometric mean titers (GMT) 2.2). Similar levels of immunological responses were induced by the G4 vaccine against BoHV-1 and -5, and titers of neutralizing antibodies induced in approximately 70% of the animals are known to confer protection (GMT > 8). For bovine pestiviruses, the vaccine stimulated response of G4 against BVDV-2 was higher compared to that against BVDV-1, and extremely low for HoBiPeV. The peak of neutralizing antibodies to BoHV-1 and BVDV-1 was observed on days 40 and 60 PV, respectively. Thereafter, a remarkably decrease in neutralizing antibody response was observed at day 90 PV. These results demonstrated that tested commercial Uruguayan vaccines did not induce a serological response of adequate magnitude and duration. Thus, it is important to periodically review formulations and compositions of commercial vaccines against bovine alphaherpesviruses and pestiviruses.

ABSTRACT: In the search for improved yields, seed treatment by microbiolization has been used as an alternative to chemical treatment. The objective was to verify the physiological and sanitary quality of creole bean seeds, var. Chumbinho, after microbiolization with doses of a commercial product (c.p.) with Trichoderma harzianum (strain ESALQ-1306). The treatments were: T1) 100 mL c.p./100 kg seeds; T2) 150 mL c.p.; T3) 200 mL c.p.; T4) 200 mL of chemical treatment (c.p., 250 g L-1 fipronil + 25 g L-1 pyraclostrobin + 225 g L-1 thiophanate-methyl); and T5) control (without coating of seeds). The tests were: sanitary test (blotter test); germination and first count; accelerated aging, cold germination without soil, speed of germination rate (SGR), seedling shoot and root lengths, and emergence of seedlings in a greenhouse. T. harzianum controlled Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp. and Fusarium oxysporum. With 100 mL c.p. of T. harzianum dose had better results for the germination and vigor, and this dose it is an alternative to chemical treatment in creole bean seeds.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the citral chemotype of Lippia alba essential oil (EOLA) as an additive in a simulated transport with different loading densities of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juveniles. Simulated transport of tambaqui juveniles at three loading densities (30, 60 and 90 fish/L) was carried out either with only water (WC) or 20 μL.L-1 EOLA. Dissolved oxygen levels, pH, conductivity and temperature of the water were measured at the beginning and end of the simulated transport. Treatment with EOLA did not change survival or dissolved oxygen levels at the end of simulation. The pH of the water at the end of simulation with EOLA was lower than in that of WC but did not change with loading density. Water conductivity increased with loading density; however, it was lower in the groups with EOLA. The addition of EOLA can be useful in long-term transportation at high loading densities, but further studies related to tambaqui physiology are required.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT: Bee envenomation is frequent in humans and dogs, but uncommon in horses. This study aimed to describe a case of acute renal failure following mass envenomation in a horse. A mare was attacked by a swarm of bees and showed reluctance to move, epistaxis, and dark-brown urine. Biochemical exams revealed increase in urea and creatine serum levels. The mare did not respond to treatment and euthanasia was elected after four days of clinical course. At the necropsy, there were multifocal pinpoint to elevated skin lesions associated with edema and hemorrhage, which extended to the subcutaneous tissue and skeletal muscle, and the kidneys were diffusely dark-brown and friable. Microscopically, renal tubules were distended and filled with an orange-red, hyaline globular material, and had severe epithelial tubular cell necrosis. The diagnosis was established based on clinical and histological analysis, and pathological evaluation was essential to confirm acute renal failure due to bee sting toxicity.
Comparative analysis of the diet composition and its relation to morphological characteristics in Achirus mazatlanus and Syacium ovale (Pleuronectiformes: Osteichthyes) from a Mexican Pacific coastal lagoon

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to investigate differences in diet composition between Achirus mazatlanus and Syacium ovale, two flatfishes inhabiting in a tropical coastal lagoon and to investigate the relationship of their feeding habits to size, body morphometry and mouths characteristics. Fish were collected during sampling trips conducted regularly from 2011 to 2016 using several types of fishing gear. Total number of analyzed stomachs with some food content was 328 for Achirus mazatlanus from 1.4 to 21.3 cm total length (TL) and 203 for Syacium ovale with 1.3 to 24.0 cm TL. Results indicate that both species share a general diet based on benthic invertebrates and fishes but S. ovale has a more piscivorous habit, which can be explained by a more slender body shape and larger teeth, characteristics which increase prey fish catching performance. Important changes in composition of food categories related to size were not found for any species, but larger fish of both species eat larger ranges of prey sizes, and this ontogenetic change is consistent with recent developments on optimal foraging theory.
Mudanças no financiamento da Atenção Primária à Saúde no Sistema de Saúde Brasileiro: avanço ou retrocesso?
Authors: Massuda Adriano
Published: April 2020

Resumo Em 2019, o governo brasileiro lançou uma nova política para a Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Chamada de “Previne Brasil”, a política modificou o financiamento da APS para municípios. No lugar de habitantes e de equipes de Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), as transferências intergovernamentais passaram a ser calculadas a partir do número de pessoas cadastradas em serviços de APS e de resultados alcançados sobre um grupo selecionado de indicadores. As mudanças terão um conjunto de impactos para o SUS e para a saúde da população que precisaram ser identificados e monitorados. Neste artigo, discute-se os possíveis efeitos da nova política a partir de uma breve análise de contexto sobre tendências globais de financiamento de sistemas de saúde e de remuneração por serviços de saúde, bem como dos avanços, desafios e ameaças à APS e ao SUS. Com base na análise realizada, entende-se que a nova política parece ter objetivo restritivo, que deve limitar a universalidade, aumentar as distorções no financiamento e induzir a focalização de ações da APS no SUS, contribuindo para a reversão de conquistas históricas na redução das desigualdades na saúde no Brasil.
Trazendo os governos de volta: a chefia do executivo e os resultados do ativismo institucional LGBT (2003-2014)
Authors: Pereira Matheus Mazzilli
Published: April 2020

Resumo A recente literatura sobre as relações entre movimentos sociais e o Estado no Brasil tem analisado a influência de ativistas institucionais que atuam na burocracia do Poder Executivo sobre as políticas públicas, caracterizando os limites e as possibilidades de sua ação a partir das particularidades das instituições nas quais estão inseridos. Este trabalho apresenta uma análise comparada da trajetória e dos resultados do ativismo institucional LGBT em quatro órgãos do Poder Executivo no nível federal entre 2003 e 2014. Os resultados da análise indicam, em primeiro lugar, que, apesar de suas distintas trajetórias e configurações em relação ao ativismo LGBT, tais órgãos apresentaram uma queda semelhante nos resultados produzidos por burocratas ativistas LGBT a partir do primeiro Governo Dilma. Em segundo lugar, indicam que, a partir desse período, a chefia do Executivo passou a intervir de forma semelhante em diferentes ministérios e secretarias, criando obstáculos comuns à ação dos ativistas LGBT neles inseridos. Argumenta-se, assim, que os resultados do ativismo institucional são também condicionados pelas intervenções realizadas pela chefia do Executivo em seus ministérios e secretarias, tornando-se necessário “trazer os governos de volta” à análise das relações entre movimentos sociais e o Estado no Brasil.
Autonomías e identidades racionalizadas entre creyentes desde la religiosidad evangélica vivida: el caso limeño
Authors: Romero Catalina , Pérez Rolando , Lecaros Veronique
Published: April 2020

Resumen Este artículo aborda el modo como los creyentes evangélicos limeños construyen sus prácticas de espiritualidad vivida en un contexto de movilidad, pluralización y desregulación del campo religioso peruano. Nos interesa observar el modo como los creyentes vinculados al protestantismo urbano limeño, ciudad tradicionalmente marcada por la institucionalidad católica y una religiosidad evangélica circunscrita al espacio del templo, desarrollan nuevas vivencias autónomas de la fe e interactúan con otros espacios religiosos y seculares. En ese sentido, nos interesa analizar los nuevos espacios culturales y territorios religiosos desde los cuales el creyente evangélico vive su espiritualidad cotidiana, construye nuevos sentidos y descubre nuevas formas de vivir y de expresar su identidad religiosa, así como su adscripción a la institución religiosa. Este caso nos permite analizar el modo como el contexto de la pluralización del campo religioso y el escenario de la secularización construyen nuevos perfiles para el creyente evangélico que empieza a abrazar determinadas formas de autonomía.
Evangélicos en Bilbao: ser creyente en minoría
Authors: Basterretxea Miren Iziar , Rodríguez Lidia , Uriarte Luzio
Published: April 2020

Resumen El País Vasco, de tradición fuertemente católica, ha experimentado en los últimos años un proceso de “descreencia” que lo sitúa como uno de los territorios más distanciados de la religión de España. A ello se suma el hecho de que la distancia respecto a la religión es, además, combativa, es decir: no solamente casi el 50% de la población se declara como “no creyente”, sino que su actitud hacia la Iglesia Católica es claramente de rechazo. En este contexto, el resto de las religiones, cuyos porcentajes (siendo aún muy bajos) van en aumento, se sitúan en una posición de minoría no únicamente numérica, sino social. En el presente trabajo nos acercaremos a conocer hasta qué punto, en un contexto con una secularización tan acusada, esta posición de minoría afecta tanto a las creencias como a la forma de vivirlas de las personas protestantes en general y, específicamente, de las evangélicas. Realizado en Bilbao a partir de entrevistas en profundidad a evangélicos, tanto latinoamericanos como autóctonos, los primeros resultados apuntan a la autonomía interpretativa, a una valoración ambigüa de la diversidad y a la privatización de la vivencia religiosa como características más relevantes.
Otredad, diversidad religiosa y prejuicios en las interacciones cotidianas de evangélicos/as de Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Rabbia Hugo H.
Published: April 2020

Resumen El trabajo explora cómo personas evangélicas de Córdoba, Argentina, perciben su posición social, interacciones de contacto intergrupal, y los modos en que buscan gestionar la otredad, en un contexto de creciente visibilidad de la diversidad religiosa y no religiosa. A partir de narrativas autobiográficas de 23 entrevistados se describen diversas interacciones sociales con “otros” religiosos y no religiosos en espacios laborales, de militancia, educativos, y sociales. Resulta extendida la percepción de estereotipos negativos hacia evangélicos/as, a la vez que emergen diversas narrativas personales de prejuicios (aislamiento, hostigamiento o animosidad) de la que han sido objetos. Las estrategias para gestionar esas interacciones dependen de cada espacio social y cada persona, y pueden implicar la compartimentalización, la participación resignificada, o incluso la evitación de la diversidad religiosa, entre otras.

Objective: identify the stress level among nursing undergraduates and the associated sociodemographic and academic factors; to compare stress level among college students according to the training phase in the course. Method: cross-sectional study with 286 university students. The instrument of sociodemographic and academic characterization and the stress scale were applied. The overall stress level was assessed by standardized score. In the bivariate analysis, Pearson’s chi-square or Fisher’s exact test was used, and multiple logistic regression analysis was performed using the Poisson model. Statistical significance of 5% was adopted. Results: higher proportion of college students presented medium/high level of global stress. Students from 6th to 10th semesters presented higher levels of stress compared to those from 1st to 5th, in the Realization of practical activities, Professional Communication (p = 0.014), Environment (p = 0.053) and Vocational Training (p = 0.000) domains). In the multivariate analysis, they contributed to the highest level of stress the variables attending the 6th to 10th semesters, female gender, monthly income ≤ one minimum wage and income considered insufficient. Conclusion: women in a more advanced stage of education and with low economic condition present a higher level of stress in their academic education.

Objective: to construct and validate a tool for the evaluation of responders in tactical casualty care simulations. Method: three rubrics for the application of a tourniquet, an emergency bandage and haemostatic agents recommended by the Hartford Consensus were developed and validated. Validity and reliability were studied. Validation was performed by 4 experts in the field and 36 nursing participants who were selected through convenience sampling. Three rubrics with 8 items were evaluated (except for the application of an emergency bandage, for which 7 items were evaluated). Each simulation was evaluated by 3 experts. Results: an excellent score was obtained for the correlation index for the 3 simulations and 2 levels that were evaluated (competent and expert). The mean score for the application of a tourniquet was 0.897, the mean score for the application of an emergency bandage was 0.982, and the mean score for the application of topical haemostats was 0.805. Conclusion: this instrument for the evaluation of nurses in tactical casualty care simulations is considered useful, valid and reliable for training in a prehospital setting for both professionals who lack experience in tactical casualty care and those who are considered to be experts.

Objective: to analyze the psychometric properties of the adapted version of Bakas Caregiving Outcome Scale for Brazilian Portuguese. Method: this is a cross-sectional methodological study conducted with 151 informal caregivers of people with cerebral vascular accident sequelae enrolled in Family Health Units. To assess reliability, Cronbach’s alpha was used. Construct validity was verified through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and correlation with measures of instruments that evaluate correlated constructs. Results: Cronbach’s alpha for the total BCOS score was 0.89. Factor and exploratory analysis generated a one-factor structure, which was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Construct validity was supported by the high positive correlations with Negative Affect (r = 0.51) and Negative Experience (r = 0.47) of the Well-being Scale and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 (r = 0.53) and negative correlations with Positive Affect (r =-0.47) and Positive Experience (r = -0.17) of the Well-being scale. Conclusion: Bakas Caregiving Outcome Scale shows evidence of satisfactory reliability and validity in family caregivers of cerebral vascular accident survivors.

Authors: RIUL Tania Regina , ALMEIDA Sebastião Sousa
Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effects of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate and/or lipid) in the diet of young adult (72 days) and adult (182 days) Wistar rats treated ad libitum and with 30% restriction from birth on anxiety in the elevated plus-maze. Methods We used 238 rats treated from birth, composing the groups: Control, Protein, Carbohydrate, Lipid, Carbohydrate and Lipid, Control Restriction, Protein Restriction, Carbohydrate Restriction, Lipid Restriction and Carbohydrate and Lipid Restriction. The animals were weighed at the beginning and at the end of the experiment and tested in the elevated plus-maze. Data were submitted to analysis of variance, followed by the Newman-Keuls Test (p<0.05). Results Among the animals treated ad libitum, the Control, Carbohydrate plus Lipid and Lipid gained more weight than the Carbohydrate and Protein; ad libitum animals gained more weight than those on restriction; among the restrictions, Carbohydrate Restriction rats were the ones that gained less weight. Diet-restricted animals exhibited reduced first-entry latency, greater percentage of entries and time spent, frequency of open arm extremity visits, head dipping (protected and unprotected), and length of stay in the central area of the elevated plus-maze. The animals with 182 days presented greater latency for first entry, reduced frequency of false entries and visits to the ends of the open arms and protected head dipping. Conclusion Food restricted animals, regardless of the macronutrient present in the diet, were less anxious and/or increased their impulsivity and those at 182 days were more anxious and/or with reduced impulsivity.
Comercialización de la agricultura familiar para el desarrollo rural: feria de la Universidad Nacional de La Matanza
Authors: Feito Maria Carolina
Published: April 2020

Resumen: Mostramos la importancia de los canales alternativos de comercialización del sector de la Agricultura Familiar como herramienta para el desarrollo rural, relevando una experiencia de comercialización alternativa para productores familiares de La Matanza, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina: la “Feria del Productor al Consumidor: la soberanía alimentaria entra a las aulas”, en la Universidad Nacional de La Matanza. Aplicamos metodología cualitativa con trabajo de campo etnográfico (entrevistas a feriantes, extensionistas, visitantes y consumidores, y observaciones realizadas durante ediciones de la feria y reuniones de la asamblea de feriantes). También utilizamos datos secundarios de fuentes bibliográficas y estadísticas nacionales sobre agricultura familiar y ferias en Argentina. Debatimos sobre desarrollo rural en Argentina y las funciones estratégicas de la comercialización en la AF. Describimos la situación de las ferias de la AF en Argentina y analizamos la experiencia presentada. Concluimos que este sector productivo, a pesar de su relativa informalidad, debe ser considerado por su aporte económico al desarrollo nacional y su rol fundamental de proveedor de alimentos al mercado interno. Estos agricultores requieren políticas diferenciales que consideren sus particulares características. Por otra parte, reconocemos que estas ferias contribuyen al desarrollo rural como potente instrumento de comercialización alternativa para el sector, mejoran intercambios entre actores, reflejado en el incremento del capital social.
Extensão rural e construção da equidade de gênero: limites e possibilidades
Authors: Silva Alessandra Maria da , Ponciano Niraldo José , Souza Paulo Marcelo de , Cezar Lilian Sagio
Published: April 2020

Resumo: A extensão rural no Brasil privilegiou a difusão tecnológica de práticas intensivas de produção, ampliando as desigualdades socioeconômicas no meio rural, especialmente as relacionadas a gênero. Com a instituição da Política Nacional de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural (Pnater), a Extensão Rural passou a atender aos princípios de equidade de gênero previstos para atuação extensionista. Este trabalho teve por objetivo compreender como os extensionistas rurais do órgão oficial de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural (Ater) do Espírito Santo entendem o seu papel na contribuição para a construção da equidade de gênero na agricultura familiar nos municípios de Linhares, Rio Bananal e Sooretama. Para tanto, aplicaram-se roteiros de entrevistas semiestruturadas para dez agentes de extensão em desenvolvimento rural, servidores da instituição oficial de Ater daqueles municípios. Os dados foram transcritos, sistematizados e submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Os extensionistas apresentaram-se naturalizados com as desigualdades de gênero, não desenvolvendo ações que incentivam a participação feminina nas políticas públicas. Mudanças nos paradigmas de gênero arraigados à extensão rural devem ser estimuladas, tanto na academia quanto nas instituições de Ater, com o propósito de se efetivar a participação feminina nas políticas públicas para a agricultura familiar.
Evaluación de los problemas que limitan el impacto de la extensión pública en el oriente de Guatemala

Published: April 2020

Resumen: Los sistemas de extensión rural públicos juegan un rol central en la seguridad alimentaria, y más aún en un país como Guatemala, que cuenta con un 46,6% de niños menores de cinco años con desnutrición crónica. En este trabajo se exponen los resultados de un estudio orientado a comprender los problemas que limitan los resultados y el impacto del servicio de extensión del Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería y Alimentación (Maga) en el oriente del país. Se realizaron 12 entrevistas individuales y 4 grupos focales con extensionistas de la institución en los departamentos de Chiquimula y Zacapa, las cuales fueron analizadas a partir de un proceso de codificación realizado con el apoyo del software Atlas Ti. La muestra y los departamentos fueron seleccionados por razones de accesibilidad y conveniencia. Se concluye que el entorno de politización y corrupción política tiene un papel estructurante en la dinámica del servicio de extensión del Maga, que el sistema de extensión del Maga es sumamente débil a nivel institucional, que existen problemas significativos relacionados con los recursos humanos, y que las prácticas de extensión tienen impacto limitado. Se recomienda generar acciones para fortalecer el sistema de extensión del Maga y diseñar estrategias creativas para formar extensionistas.
Exportações de produtos agrícolas e o ambiente portuário: a perspectiva da teoria dos custos de transação
Authors: Esteves Maria Carolina de Paulo , Oliveira Andréa Leda Ramos de , Milanez Ana Paula
Published: April 2020

Resumo: O cenário portuário brasileiro passou por diversas mudanças ao longo das últimas décadas, desde a descentralização das atividades até novos critérios para a exploração e arrendamento para a iniciativa privada de terminais de movimentação de carga em portos públicos. Estas transformações tiveram impacto na dinâmica de exportação dos produtos agrícolas e nos custos de transação. Isso posto, este trabalho busca identificar se existem custos de transação no ambiente portuário para a exportação de produtos agrícolas e a proposição de um índice de custo de transação (ICT). As movimentações de dois importantes produtos agrícolas foram analisadas: soja e etanol. A dimensão avaliada das transações foi a especificidade dos ativos. Os resultados indicaram que o maior ICT obtido foi para o etanol. Contudo, os ativos avaliados para ambos produtos apresentaram especificidades que variaram entre média e alta, o que permitiu concluir que no setor portuário os custos de transação envolvidos são altos, promovendo a adoção de novas estratégias e formas de governança para mitigar o risco associado às transações, como os contratos de longo de prazo e de parcerias.
New entrants policy into agriculture: researching new farmers’ satisfaction
Authors: Chatzitheodoridis Fotios , Kontogeorgos Achilleas
Published: April 2020

Abstract: During the last three decades, the European Union has adopted a series of policies aiming to increase the new farmers entering the primary sector. This scheme, namely the “New Entrants Policy”, is reflected to the relevant regulations of the Common Agricultural Policy. After many years of implementation, there is still limited information regarding young farmers’ perceptions and participation to this scheme. Against this backdrop, a questionnaire was developed in order to assess the degree of new farmer’s satisfaction on their decision to enter the agricultural sector by participating in this scheme. Furthermore, we tried to evaluate the factors and motivations that determined their decision. The survey was carried out in Greece during an educational seminar specifically designed for new entrants in agriculture. In total, 254 new farmers answered questions concerning their experience from the implementation of the program. Additionally, executives of public services involved in the program implementation were interviewed in depth. Data analysis revealed that the majority of new entrants declare a high degree of satisfaction from their decision to enter agriculture. Specifically, those who display environmental consciousness related to field practices towards environment protection feel more satisfied with their decision.

Published: April 2020

Resumo A proposta deste artigo é pensar a criação de um campo híbrido de pesquisa/experimentação na intersecção entre arte contemporânea e psicologia. Nesse sentido, exploramos o eixo arte/experiência, na intenção de produzir linhas singulares e sensíveis de subjetivação, mais afeitas ao devir e aos fluxos do que a identidades fixas. Enquanto sujeitos/pesquisadores/artistas, nossa proposta foi criar metáforas, experiências, imagens de pensamento e rasgos no que nos chega pronto, a partir da elaboração de uma figuração híbrida/plástica de corpo/subjetividade. Este foi o meio que encontramos para dar passagem para diferentes superfícies intensivas. Para tanto, valemo-nos da Metodologia de Pesquisa Baseada nas Artes e de conceitos como figuração, conexões parciais, saberes localizados (Haraway, 1995, 2013), subjetividade estética (Rolnik, 2002; Teixeira, 1993), lógica da sensação (Deleuze, 2002), entre outros.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of patients in cancer treatment, their family caregivers, the care provided with the overload, as well as between overload and the care skills. Method: a cross-sectional study conducted at the chemotherapy and radiotherapy services of a university hospital in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) from March to August 2017, with 132 family caregivers of patients in cancer treatment. Data was collected by an instrument that characterizes patients, caregivers and care (the Brazilian version of the Caring Ability Inventory) and the Zarit Overload Scale. The following coefficients were used: Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis. Results: there was a significant relationship between the total overload and the patient’s level of dependence (p=0.021) and help from others (p=0.009). The “care impact” factor was significantly related with the patient’s level of dependence (p=0.006), the caregiver’s gender (p=0.035) and the care help (p=0.043). Regarding the “perception of self-efficacy” factor, there was a significant relationship involving the caregiver’s age (p=0.036) and, in the “caregiver expectation” factor, a significant relationship was observed with the care help (p=0.002). There was a significant and negative correlation between the total care skill and the overload factor related to interpersonal relationship (p=0.035); and between the “courage” dimension and the “perception of self-efficacy” (p=0.032) and “interpersonal relationship” (p=0.008) factors. Conclusion: the characteristics of the patient, the caregiver and the care provided influence the overload of the family caregiver, and this overload, in turn, interferes with the care skills. These results should be considered when planning interventions that aim to guide and prepare family caregivers for home care.

Abstract Introduction: The Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG) for undergraduate courses in Medicine since 2014 have highlighted the need to include gender and sexuality in the medical school curricula, aiming at better care for people. Method: Thus, the objective is to identify and analyze the approach of gender and sexuality in the Curriculum Pedagogical Projects (CPP) of the medical courses of the Federal Institutions of Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study of descriptive and documentary analysis, carried out through the analysis of CPP, of the undergraduate medical courses of the Federal Universities of Brazil. Data were obtained from the website of the undergraduate medical course of each higher education institution. In addition, emails were sent to the coordinators of these courses to obtain the updated CPPs. For the quantitative analysis, an initial description of the sample was performed followed by a statistical analysis using the chi-square test to assess whether or not there was an association between the presence of gender and / or sexuality debate in CPP, with the publication of the 2014 NCG and with the Brazilian geographic region, as well as between the nature of the curricular unit (compulsory or complementary / optional) and the perspective of the approach. The documentary analysis was used for the qualitative analysis with the content analysis technique, through the thematic analysis method. Results: It was found that 48 (69.56%) of the 69 analyzed CPP discuss the topics gender and / or sexuality in one or more subjects offered by the course. There is a predominance of the sexuality topic, of compulsory curricular units (88.32% of 137 curricular units) and an approach beyond the exclusively biological perspective (63.5% of 48 CPPs and 62.04% of curricular units). No statistical significance was evidenced by the chi-square test. Regarding the documentary analysis, two categories were constructed: “gender and sexuality associated with a biological perspective”, “gender and sexuality associated with a predominantly broader perspective or social determinants in health”. It was observed that the first category predominates in curricular units associated with organs, systems or life cycles of the human being, while the second, to social and human sciences applied to health and Primary Health Care. Conclusions: We conclude there is a significant number of CPPs and, consequently, also of curricular units that have a perspective beyond the exclusively biological approach. Nevertheless, there is difficulty with comprehensive health care that may be related to a selective visibility to pathology and technical aspects of medical practice and a difficulty in effectively promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue between the biological, exact and human sciences as proposed by the NCG.

Abstract Introduction: The Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG) for undergraduate courses in Medicine since 2014 have highlighted the need to include gender and sexuality in the medical school curricula, aiming at better care for people. Method: Thus, the objective is to identify and analyze the approach of gender and sexuality in the Curriculum Pedagogical Projects (CPP) of the medical courses of the Federal Institutions of Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study of descriptive and documentary analysis, carried out through the analysis of CPP, of the undergraduate medical courses of the Federal Universities of Brazil. Data were obtained from the website of the undergraduate medical course of each higher education institution. In addition, emails were sent to the coordinators of these courses to obtain the updated CPPs. For the quantitative analysis, an initial description of the sample was performed followed by a statistical analysis using the chi-square test to assess whether or not there was an association between the presence of gender and / or sexuality debate in CPP, with the publication of the 2014 NCG and with the Brazilian geographic region, as well as between the nature of the curricular unit (compulsory or complementary / optional) and the perspective of the approach. The documentary analysis was used for the qualitative analysis with the content analysis technique, through the thematic analysis method. Results: It was found that 48 (69.56%) of the 69 analyzed CPP discuss the topics gender and / or sexuality in one or more subjects offered by the course. There is a predominance of the sexuality topic, of compulsory curricular units (88.32% of 137 curricular units) and an approach beyond the exclusively biological perspective (63.5% of 48 CPPs and 62.04% of curricular units). No statistical significance was evidenced by the chi-square test. Regarding the documentary analysis, two categories were constructed: “gender and sexuality associated with a biological perspective”, “gender and sexuality associated with a predominantly broader perspective or social determinants in health”. It was observed that the first category predominates in curricular units associated with organs, systems or life cycles of the human being, while the second, to social and human sciences applied to health and Primary Health Care. Conclusions: We conclude there is a significant number of CPPs and, consequently, also of curricular units that have a perspective beyond the exclusively biological approach. Nevertheless, there is difficulty with comprehensive health care that may be related to a selective visibility to pathology and technical aspects of medical practice and a difficulty in effectively promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue between the biological, exact and human sciences as proposed by the NCG.

Abstract: Introduction: To evaluate the progression of competence, learning curve and degree of satisfaction with the training model of medical students undergoing training to perform laparoscopic knots in a simulator. Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal, interventional study, carried out from April 2016 to July 2017, with the participation of 52 students from the Centro Universitário Christus, Fortaleza, Brazil, from the first to the third year of medical school, undergoing theoretical practical, systematic, and methodized training, with progression of skills to perform laparoscopic knots in a simulation environment in four stages, with a total duration of 16 hours. It was established the task of performing laparoscopic stitches, with five simple knots, in the beginning and in the end, in a suture mold, in an abdominal cavity simulator, in 18 minutes. The main outcomes were time and quality of performance. The students were evaluated before the first and after all stages of the training regarding the quantity and quality of the knots or the subject of the stage and satisfaction with the training model. ANOVA and Student’s t tests were performed for the independent samples and the chi-square test for the categorical variables. For variables with serial measurements, general linear models were used. Univariate binomial models were used in the evaluation variables of the training model. P values <0.05 were considered significant. Results: The values of the medians were analyzed between the first and last stages of the training; of the number of simple knots (0.0 and 15.0) and laparoscopic knots (0.0 and 3.0), the adequacy of the sizes of the suture tail ends (0.0 and 11.0), the number of adjusted initial simple knots ( 0.0 and 3.0) and adjusted sequential ones (0.0 and 24.0). There was statistical significance in all evaluated parameters (p< 0.001). The learning curve showed that 99.1% of the students attained competence. The degree of satisfactory evaluation of the training model was considered good or great in 97% or more, with statistical relevance in 8 of the 10 evaluated statements. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the students showed competence progression and learning curve evolution. The degree of student satisfaction in relation to the training model stages was very significant.

Abstract Introduction: Academic self-efficacy refers to the student’s belief in their ability to organize and perform actions regarding academic activities and demands. In this context, self-efficacy has received great importance in the literature, both for the relevance and the predictive power of the events in the school setting. Students with higher levels of self-efficacy are more likely to succeed in their interventions, as they can more easily test and use their skills. Objective: To evaluate the academic self-efficacy of students in the 4th year of medical school and its correlation with the teaching method (PBL x traditional). Method: This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study carried in two medical schools: one with PBL methodology and another with traditional methodology. A total of 147 4th-year medical students participated in this study, who were divided in two groups, 73 from the school using the PBL methodology and 74 from the school with the traditional methodology. Data collection was carried out by filling out a self-answered questionnaire, containing questions on sociodemographic information and general health aspects, in addition to the Self-efficacy Scale in Higher Education. Result: Students from the school using the PBL methodology had a overall higher mean sum of the highest score (p <0.01) and higher mean score in each domain of the self-efficacy scale when compared to the school using the traditional methodology. The variables female gender, older age, living alone, not using medication for chronic disease and having an extracurricular activity had a positive influence on the mean self-efficacy score in the different scale domains. Conclusion: The 4th-year medical students of the assessed institutions showed moderate to strong self-efficacy. Students from PBL school had higher self-efficacy scores than those using the traditional methodology. These results may indicate that the active learning methodology such as the PBL curriculum may be related to a higher degree of academic self-efficacy. Further studies are required to understand the influence of the curricular model on medical students’ academic self-efficacy.
