Authors: Simões Bruna Faria , Mazur Nelson , Correia Maria Elizabeth Fernandes , Niemeyer Júlia Carina , Matos Talita de Santana
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT: The process of identifying a contaminated area involves a preliminary assessment consisting of chemical analysis and comparison with guideline values. In Brazil, these values are included in the CONAMA Resolution no. 420/2009, based on chemical analysis and phytotoxicity. The objective of this research was to evaluate the ecotoxicity of copper in two natural soils in the state of Rio de Janeiro, a Haplic Planosol (sandy) and a Red-Yellow Argisol (medium texture), to verify if the values established by the legislation offer protection to the soil fauna. Lethality and reproduction tests were performed with Eisenia andrei worms and Folsomia candida springtails. Results indicated copper values in Planosol as LC50 435 mg kg 1 and EC50 29 mg kg 1 for E. Andrei and LC10 137 mg kg 1 and EC50 117 mg kg 1 for F. candida. In Argisol, these results were LC50 690 mg kg 1 and EC50 61 mg kg 1 for E. andrei, and LC10 42 mg kg 1 and EC50 138 mg kg 1 for F. candida. Values reported are lower than the research value (200 mg kg-1) established by the CONAMA resolution 420/09, indicating that concentrations lower than the limit values may affect these organisms, depending on the type of soil. Worms were more sensitive than springtails to copper contamination, and sandy soil was more susceptible to ecotoxicity due to copper contamination, probably due to the greater bioavailability of the metal. Results of such ecotoxicity tests should be considered in the development of soil guideline values.

ABSTRACT: The objective of the research was to evaluate cytokinin concentrations and agricultural residues as physical structuring agents of the culture medium in the in vitro propagation of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Duke’). To that end, three different concentrations of 2-isopentenyladenine (2iP) (0, 5, and 10 mg L-1)in woody plant medium (WPM) and five structuring agents (in natura rice husks, carbonized rice husks, coconut fiber, S-10 Beifort®, and agar)were tested. After 60days of culture, the following parameters were evaluated: survival (%),sprout and shoot lengths (cm),propagation rate, number of sprouts, and shoot dry mass (g). The substrates used as structuring agents were analyzed in terms of pH and electrical conductivity. The in natura rice husk, S-10 Beifort®, and carbonized rice husk did not differ from the agar in terms of the sprout length. The shoots were longer (1.64 cm) in cultures within natura rice husk than in other treatments. In the absence of 2iP, S-10 Beifort® resulted in the highest propagation rate (2.97). Concerning the number of sprouts, S-10 Beifort®, in natura rice husks, and carbonized rice husks did not differ from agar. However, when the regulator was added, the agar performed better in comparison to the other residues. Thus, in natura rice husks, carbonized rice husks, and S-10 Beifort®are potential physical structuring agents of the culture medium that can be used without 2iP.

Published: May 2020

Abstract: The objective of this article is to use a systematic review of the literature to answer how the maintenance sector considers the occupational safety and health (OSH) criteria, what impacts safety has on maintenance activities, which are the most significant branches of activities in this relationship, and which phases and types of maintenance are more prone to be influenced by OSH. The articles for these studies were selected through the Capes Portal, limited to the period between 2010 to 2015. Articles selected from the Brazilian Congresses on Asset Management and Maintenance in the period from 2013 to 2015 were also used. 38 articles were selected in total for the systematic review of the literature. The results were summarized through conceptual maps and revealed that there are fundamental relationships between OSH, Maintenance and Asset Management and that maintenance has a central role to play in these relationships. It is also concluded that the impacts of safety on the maintenance activities involve all stages of the process and that the maintenance sector considers the OSH criteria as a function of the safety of the persons performing the maintenance and operating the equipment. The contributions include a discussion on the importance of maintenance and safety according to different organizational cultures, the elements considered in management practices, maintenance strategies and safety criteria.

Abstract The purpose of this research is to analyze the adherence of the NBR ISO 14001 standard to the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance Code of Best Corporate Governance Practices. The perspective established in the research interprets the existence of synergy between management supported by the Environmental Management Systems standard and the Code of Best Corporate Governance Practices. The research analyzed the contents of 177 environmental audit reports, performed by a certification company, which involved a set of 139 companies certified by NBR ISO 14001. It then related the requirements of the environmental management system with the elements present in the IBGC code. It identified the adherence to several requirements in common between the two systems analyzed, thus indicating the adequacy of establishing synergy in actions, and in the information held by both, providing benefits to the organization. Environmental auditing data indicate that companies have more difficult-to-handle items related to operational control, emergency preparedness and assessment of compliance with legal and other requirements. This is important information in the context of corporate governance, since it indicates potential risks that must be eliminated in order to guarantee the perenniality of the organization.

Abstract: The lack of implementation of well-designed public policies aimed at the conservation of natural ecosystems has resulted, at a global level, in the decline of ecosystem functioning and, consequently, of the contributions they make to people. The poor enforcement of important environmental legislation in Brazil - for instance, the “Atlantic Forest Law” (Law n.11.428/2006) and the “Forest Code” (Law n.12.651/2012) - could compromise the overall maintenance of ecosystems and the services they provide. To explore the implications of different levels of federal laws’ enforcement within the Cantareira System Protected Area (PA) - a PA in southeastern Brazil that provides fresh water for 47% of the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area -, we developed a conceptual framework to identify indirect and direct drives of biodiversity and ecosystem changes. We also projected four land-use scenarios to 2050 to test the effects of deforestation control and forest restoration practices on biodiversity and ecosystem services maintenance: the “business-as-usual” scenario (BAU), which assumes that all trends in land-use cover changes observed in the past will continue in the future, and three alternative exploratory scenarios considering the Atlantic Forest Law implementation, the partial implementation of the Forest Code and the full implementation of the Forest Code. Using the land-use maps generated for each scenario, we assessed the impacts of land-use changes on biodiversity conservation and soil retention. Our results revealed all alternative scenarios could increase biodiversity conservation (by 7%; 12%; and 12%, respectively), reduce soil loss (by 24.70%; 34.70%; and 38.12%, respectively) and sediment exportation to water (by 27.47%; 55.06%; and 59.28%, respectively), when compared to the BAU scenario. Our findings highlight the importance of restoring and conserving native vegetation for the maintenance and improvement of biodiversity conservation and for the provision of ecosystem services.

Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to determine whether physical fitness is related to nutritional status in a sample of female adolescents with anorexia nervosa, to contrast the nourished and undernourished patients, and to compare the physical fitness in these patients with normative data of healthy subjects stratified by age and gender. Methods Nutritional status was determined using the body mass index Z-score, fat mass, fat-free mass (bioelectrical impedance analysis), and the Controlling Nutritional Status score in 15 anorexic adolescents with 14.3±1.6 years. Physical fitness was assessed using the ALPHA-Fitness Battery (handgrip strength, standing broad jump, 4x10m shuttle run, and 20m shuttle run tests). Results Handgrip strength was significantly associated with all variables of nutritional status, except with the three blood components of the Controlling Nutritional Status score. The undernourished anorexic patients showed significantly worse physical fitness than the nourished anorexic patients in all tests, except in the standing broad jump and the 4x10m shuttle run tests. The physical fitness tests of the female anorexic adolescents showed scores significantly worse than those of the normative European female adolescent population. Conclusion The observation of female adolescents with anorexia nervosa showed associations between higher physical fitness levels and better nutritional statuses. Handgrip strength and 20m shuttle run tests may be options of additional indicators of undernutrition in anorexic female adolescents. The undernourished anorexic patients showed worse physical fitness than the nourished ones. According to normative data for healthy sex- and agematched adolescents, physical fitness is severely impaired in anorexic female adolescents.

Published: May 2020

Abstract Objectives: to estimate the prevalence of maternal overweight and short stature in children at household level in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study. Population-based studies on children (0-5 years old) and women (15 to 49 years old) who participated in the Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde da Criança e da Mulher(National Survey on Children and Women Demography and Health) in Brazil and the Encuesta Nacional de Demografía y Salud, (National Survey on Demography and Health), in Bolivia, Colombia and Peru. Variables of interest: overweight mother and child with short stature, a double burden when both outcomes are present. Global prevalence and stratification, according to rural and urban areas and 95% confidence intervals, were estimated. Results: the global sample consisted of 26,506 households. The prevalence of double burden was 9.3% in Bolivia (CI95%= 8.3-10.4), 6.7% in Peru (CI95%=5.9-7.5), Colombia (3.2%; CI95%=2.8-3.6) and Brazil (2.2%; CI95%=1.4-3.2). The highest prevalence were observed in the rural areas in Bolivia (13% vs 6.5%; p<0.001) and Peru (11.9% vs 4.1%; p<0.001). Conclusions: the highest prevalence were registered in Peru and Bolivia, and the lowest in Brazil and Colombia.

Published: May 2020

Abstract Objective: to understand mothers' bereavement experiences regarding the loss of their newborn child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a Brazilian university hospital. Methods: the study was designed by the clinical-qualitative method to understand the meaning of the emerging relationships of health scenarios. Sample consisted of six mothers. The sufficiency of the sample was verified through the saturation of the data. The data collection instrument was a semistructured interview with script of open questions, the collected material was recorded and transcribed in full. Thematic analysis was performed by two independent authors. Results: feelings and perceptions of the grieving process gave rise to three categories: 1. Guilt and fantasy of bereavement related to the death and grief for their children; 2. Relationships and ambiguities - the relationship between internal concerns and perception of external relations; 3. Fear, disbelief, abandonment and loneliness - questions about perception of the external environment. Conclusions: mothers' bereavement experience is mainly permeated by loneliness and abandonment related to feelings of guilt for not being able to keep their children alive. The difficult and definitive separation in the postpartum period, caused by death, brings fantasies of reunion with their child. Women show the need to realize grief, especially by recognizing their baby's identity.

Abstract Objectives: to investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies in complete deciduous dentition of children with NSCL/P. Methods: this study included 75 children with NSCL/P and 286 healthy control. In both groups the children had deciduous dentition with ages varying from 4 to 6 years. Clinical examination, panoramic and periapical radiographies were performed and dental anomalies of number and shape were considered. Results: there was a higher prevalence of dental anomalies in the case group, compared to the control group. In all, 42 dental anomalies were identified, 25.33% in the case group and 8.04% in control group (p<0.001). Therewas a higher frequency of dental anomalies in NSCL/P (47.36%), followed by non-syndromic cleft lip (31.57%) and non-syndromic cleft palate (21.05%). The occurrence of agenesis (p= 0.005) and twinning (p = 0.029) were higher in the case group. Conclusions: the occurrence of agenesis and dental twinning was more frequent in the case group and may contribute to the definition of oral cleft subphenotype.

Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the evolution of financial structure in Technology-Based Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) throughout their business cycle. The papers analyzing financial structure in Technology-Based MSMEs focus on developed countries, with strong institutional environments, economic stability, and developed financial markets. This study contributes to bridging the literature gap in knowledge regarding financial structure in Technology-Based MSMEs in economies with small and underdeveloped financial markets and those with recurring economic crises. These issues intensify the limitations of access to financing for these companies and their potential growth. The importance of Technology-Based companies not only lies on their contribution to economic growth, but they are regarded as channels through which scientific knowledge is applied to products, processes, and services, improving the quality of life of society as a whole. The results evidenced in this study indicate the need to devise policies focused on encouraging access to funding in the various stages of the business cycle of Technology-Based MSMEs. A database with 89 Argentine Technology-Based MSMEs is used, applying an Ordered Logit model to analyze the variables affecting financial diversification in these companies. The results confirm the predictions of the financial growth cycle of small business theory, which argues that company size and age affect the probability of diversifying the financial structure. At the same time, this work found that these variables have a different effect depending on the stage in life cycle that a company is going through.
Profit shifting in Brazil and the impact of tax havens
Authors: Rathke Alex A. T.
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT We investigate tax-induced profit shifting in Brazil and the impact of tax havens on the shifting behavior of firms. Profit shifting research in Brazil is virtually non-existent, although the shifting incentives in Brazil are prominent. Our research fills this gap with evidences in the novel Brazilian context. Profit shifting is a tax-minimization strategy where multinational enterprises perform intra-firm transactions to allocate taxable profits to low-tax locations. Brazil combines a remarking set of profit shifting incentives, especially a high corporate tax rate, extremely complex tax system, and distinguished transfer pricing rules. Further researches may leverage from the shifting incentives in Brazil, since it provides opportunities to investigate additional factors that affect the shifting behavior of firms. We analyze 989 transaction-by-country observations for the period of 2010-2017. Baseline analysis follows the robust least squares approach with controlling covariates. Linear estimate model derives from the conventional Cobb-Douglas production function, to analyze the impact of shifting incentives on profit maximization. We find that Brazilian firms have a high level of intra-firm transactions with related parties located in low-tax countries, especially with tax havens. It represents a strong evidence of profit shifting behavior in Brazilian firms.

Published: May 2020

Abstract Urban agriculture has its history tied to the development of civilizations. Aiming to identify the benefits generated by the practice and its motivations, a literature review and later analysis of articles describing current experiences, management characteristics and organization aspects was carried out. In countries with a very high HDI, community gardens and the well-being of the population are prominent themes. Countries with high HDI focus on soil contamination and mitigation of pollution impacts, as countries with an average HDI has as main theme the sustainability of the practice. Finally, low HDI countries discuss their importance for food security. Regardless of the objectives that motivate urban agriculture and research in the area, is evidenced its contribution to the environmental, social and economic quality of cities.

Published: May 2020

Abstract The objective of this research was to obtain the environmental perception of fishermen of Itaoca Island regarding the effects of urban/industrial expansion in Guanabara Bay on their fishing and housing spaces. Through exploratory qualitative research, it was possible to understand the interactions of these fishermen with the space in which they are inserted in Guanabara Bay and their perceptions on the externalities that reach their community. The results showed that the urban/industrial advance, resulting from the current cycle of regional development related to petroleum, has been a threat to the survival of fishing activity, both by the environmental impacts to the region’s ecosystems that significantly damage it, and by the pressure exerted on their living and fishing spaces.

Published: May 2020

Abstract The article aims to reveal the heterogeneities and fragmentations of the produced space in the Sao Paulo Macrometropolis, unveiling the characteristics of its holes - territories that, on one hand, do not make up the urban-industrial arrangements that give identity to this city-region, yet they do provide ecosystem services and enable other ways of life. The article arose from a conceptual survey about this city-region, focusing on the vision of heterogeneity, fragmentation and symbolic construction, and reflects on the identity and produced space in the Sao Paulo Macrometropolis (SPMM) to support the empirical analysis of the region. Through spatial analysis it presents the characteristics of territories of the Macrometropolis that are not brought to light analytically, nor are they the focus of public policies, despite their regional importance.

Published: May 2020

RESUMO: Introdução: O uso inadequado e o crescimento dos gastos em saúde reforçam a necessidade de ampliar o conhecimento sobre a qualidade de uso de medicamentos. Objetivos: Descrever e avaliar o perfil de utilização de medicamentos em uma amostra representativa de usuários adultos da atenção primária do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) de Minas Gerais. Método: Estudo transversal, com 1.159 entrevistados em 104 municípios e 253 serviços de saúde. Foram coletados dados sobre características sociodemográficas, condições de saúde e uso de medicamentos, sendo essas características estratificadas por faixas etárias. Análises univariada e multivariada, por meio de regressão logística, foram conduzidas para identificar preditores de automedicação. Para todos os testes, foi adotado o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência de uso de medicamentos foi de 81,8%, com média de 2,67 medicamentos por usuário, que aumenta com a faixa etária. Os medicamentos mais utilizados foram losartana, hidroclorotiazida e sinvastatina, com diferenças entre as faixas etárias. Observou-se automedicação significativa não só em adultos jovens, mas também entre idosos. Os preditores de automedicação foram: ser adulto jovem, ter maior nível de escolaridade, não apresentar doenças crônicas, ter pior autopercepção de saúde e não aderir a medicamentos prescritos. Adultos jovens e idosos apresentaram características que os tornaram mais vulneráveis em relação ao uso racional de medicamentos. Conclusão: O estudo pode contribuir para melhorar o cuidado na atenção primária, pois identificou problemas relevantes relacionados à qualidade do uso de medicamentos, especialmente entre adultos jovens e idosos em Minas Gerais.

RESUMO: Objetivo: A prevalência de hipertensão arterial no Brasil e no mundo vem aumentando nas últimas décadas, sendo o uso de medicamentos uma das estratégias utilizadas no controle da doença. O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de uso e identificar as fontes de obtenção de anti-hipertensivos no Brasil, segundo variáveis sociodemográficas, comparando três períodos: 2011, 2014 e 2017. Métodos: Foram utilizados dados de indivíduos com idade ≥20 anos que referiram diagnóstico médico de hipertensão arterial, entrevistados pelo Vigitel nos anos de 2011, 2014 e 2017. Foi estimada a distribuição de frequências e as prevalências de uso de medicamentos, segundo variáveis sociodemográficas, de acordo com as fontes de obtenção, com intervalos de confiança de 95%. As diferenças entre as proporções foram verificadas pelo teste χ2 de Pearson (Rao-Scott), com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência de uso manteve-se estável (80%). Quanto às fontes de obtenção observou-se variação no período, indicando diminuição na obtenção por meio das Unidades de Saúde do SUS (44,2% em 2011; 30,5% em 2017). Esse decréscimo esteve acompanhado do aumento na obtenção pela Farmácia Popular (16,1% em 2011; 29,9% em 2017). A prevalência de obtenção por meio de farmácias privadas/drogarias mostrou estabilidade no período. Conclusões: A prevalência de uso de medicamentos se manteve alta e houve modificação no padrão de utilização segundo fontes de obtenção, evidenciando migração entre Unidades de Saúde do SUS para a Farmácia Popular, sugerindo redução da disponibilidade dos medicamentos pelas farmácias públicas de forma universal e gratuita.

Resumo O presente estudo tem o objetivo de determinar a forma como estudantes de diferentes culturas percebem a utilidade das aulas de Educação Física. Foram entrevistados 2.748 estudantes (1.373 da região da Araucanía, Chile; e 1.375 do Estado de Sarre, Alemanha). Tanto os alunos chilenos como os alemães reconhecem mais uma utilidade “esportivo-recreativa” que uma “socioeducativa”, e os chilenos apresentam valores mais altos que seus pares alemães; por outro lado, ambos os grupos manifestam seu desacordo com a opinião de que a Educação Física não lhes serve para nada. Os estudantes consideram que suas aulas de Educação Física foram úteis, o que surge como uma oportunidade para reforçar a geração de experiências positivas nas aulas e consolidar as aprendizagens.

MODOS DE CONSTITUIÇÃO DA DOCÊNCIA BRASILEIRA: TRADICIONALISMO, COMPETÊNCIA TÉCNICA E BOAS PRÁTICAS
Authors: Scherer Renata Porcher
Published: May 2020

Resumo Tendo a docência brasileira como objeto de pesquisa, a partir de uma perspectiva histórica, o presente artigo procura responder ao seguinte questionamento: quais práticas podem ser descritas acerca da docência brasileira na literatura pedagógica da segunda metade do século XX? Realiza-se uma análise documental de três obras de importante impacto na literatura educacional e propõe-se um breve exercício analítico, que, longe de esgotar tais fontes documentais, busca mapear algumas pistas acerca das concepções de pesquisa sobre a docência na educação básica que predominaram no Brasil. Assim, são mapeadas três tendências que compuseram (e ainda compõem) as pautas da pesquisa acadêmica nesse período, quais sejam: na década de 1960, as articulações entre docência e tradicionalismo; na década de 1980, os debates em torno da competência técnica e do compromisso político; e nos anos 1990, a centralidade na prática dos professores.

Published: May 2020

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the relationships between self-efficacy beliefs and professional interests of 613 adolescents and young people from the interior of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, aged 15-19 years (M = 16.65; SD = 0.75) of which 350 were female, coming from public (84%) and private (15.8%) schools. The instruments used were the Self-Directed Search Career Explorer and the Self-Efficacy Scale for Professional Choice. Women had higher mean in the Social type and men in the Realistic, Entrepreneurial and Conventional types. In self-efficacy for professional choice, students from private schools revealed higher mean than students from public schools. The general level of self-efficacy was explained by investigative, artistic, social interests and type of school. The results also indicate the importance of analyzing the differences found in gender interests. In addition, the study can contribute to the work of counselors regarding the insertion of discussions that help adolescents to understand the influences of interests and self-efficacy in the construction of professional projects, besides bringing more systematic data on the articulation between such constructs.
Parental styles and coparenting in families with children with autism: cluster analysis of children’s behavior
Authors: PORTES João Rodrigo Maciel , VIEIRA Mauro Luís , SOUZA Carolina Duarte de , KASZUBOWSKI Erikson
Published: May 2020

Abstract Research on atypical developing parenting usually investigates only the mother. This happens even if the investigation outcome points to the influence of the parenting style and the child’s relationship with the father on his/her perception of well-being. This investigation aimed to understand the relationships between the behavior of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, parenting styles and coparenting of 45 biparental families with children aged, on mean, 59 months, according to defined profiles based on children’s behavioral differences. Data was reviewed by hierarchical clustering. Among the four profiles found, those characterized by behavioral difficulties showed more authoritarian/permissive parenting styles and negative impacts on coparenting; profiles with greater prosociability had a more authoritative parenting style and better coparenting quality. The behavioral assessment of children should drive the formulation of interventions/public policies to promote positive parenting in this population.

ABSTRACT Objective: To correlate the nutritional status with variables associated to the type of diet and feeding route of children and adolescents with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: This cross-sectional study included 28 patients aged ≤13 years old who presented a diagnosis of spastic quadriplegic CP and were followed by the nutrition team of the Outpatient Clinic for Special Patients of Hospital de Clínicas de Uberlândia - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (HC-UFU), between July/2016 and January/2017. Consent forms were signed by the legal guardians. The nutritional status was evaluated and data on dietary complications food route and type of diet were collected. For the description of data, average and median values were used. Correlation was tested with Spearman’s index. Significance was set at p<0.05. Results: 75% of patients used alternative feeding routes (nasoenteral, catheter or gastrostomy), 57% were eutrophic. The most frequent complications were oropharyngeal dysphagia, reflux and intestinal constipation. No correlation was found between the occurrence of complications and the nutritional status. There was a positive correlation between the diet received and the patient’s nutritional status (0.48; p=0.01), i.e. individuals with adequate caloric and macronutrients intake had a better nutritional status. Conclusions: The results reinforce the need for continued nutritional guidance for the children’s parents/caregivers, as well as the choice of an adequate rout of feeding to each child by the multi-professional team, in order to contribute to improved nutritional status and adequate dietary intake.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a efetividade da terapia de grupo na redução dos sintomas vocais em pacientes com disfonia comportamental e compará-la a uma modalidade de terapia tradicional/individual. Métodos Trata-se de uma pesquisa explicativa, quantitativa e de intervenção. Participaram 99 pacientes com disfonia comportamental, de ambos os sexos, alocados em dois grupos: Terapia Individual (TI) e Terapia de Grupo (TG). Todos foram submetidos à terapia com abordagem eclética. Foram realizadas oito sessões, sendo a primeira e a última destinadas à avaliação e as outras seis de intervenção. Realizou-se análise estatística descritiva e inferencial para comparar os grupos e os momentos pré e pós-intervenção. Resultados A maioria dos participantes era do sexo feminino, não usava a voz profissionalmente e com lesão na porção membranosa da prega vocal. Ambos os grupos apresentavam escores médios semelhantes, no início da terapia, fato que mostra a homogeneidade dos grupos. Houve redução de todos os escores da Escala de Sintomas Vocais (ESV) no momento pós-intervenção individual e em grupo. Não foi observada diferença significativa, ao comparar as médias dos escores da ESV pós-terapia entre os grupos. Em relação aos itens da ESV, foi possível observar que alguns podem não detectar as diferenças entre os momentos pré e pós-intervenção. Conclusão Tanto a TI, quanto a TG foram efetivas na redução significativa dos sintomas vocais. Não houve diferença ao comparar os grupos. Alguns itens da ESV, principalmente no domínio limitação, foram mais sensíveis nos momentos pós-intervenção, em ambas modalidades. O tipo de intervenção influencia a redução dos sintomas vocais.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar o impacto da voz na qualidade de vida de pessoas transgênero (ou trans) e relacionar com a autopercepção vocal e a identidade de gênero. Métodos Foram incluídos 27 indivíduos com idades entre 18 e 49 anos, usuários e usuárias do Ambulatório Trans de Sergipe: – “Portas abertas - Saúde integral das pessoas trans: cuidar e acolher”, da Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Após anamnese, foram aplicados os instrumentos de Qualidade de Vida em Voz (QVV), o Transgender Voice Questionnaire (TVQMtF) e o Índice de Triagem para Distúrbio de Voz (ITDV). Foi observado maior número de homens trans (63,0%), em relação ao de mulheres trans (37,0%). A média de idade foi de 26,7 anos (±9,1) e 96,3% dos sujeitos possuíam uma queixa específica de voz. Resultados O QVV apresentou um valor médio de 26,1 pontos para o escore total, o ITDV de 3,9 e o TVQMtF de 70,6, não havendo relação significativa entre os resultados e a identidade de gênero e a idade. Foi observada relação significativa entre o QVV e o TVQMtF. Conclusão Observou-se uma baixa qualidade de vida em voz nas pessoas trans. Desta forma, quanto maior a percepção de suas alterações vocais, pior a sua qualidade de vida, independente do gênero com o qual se identificam (feminino ou masculino) e de possíveis distúrbios vocais.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar as emissões otoacústicas evocadas produto de distorção (EOAPD) de indivíduos adultos entre 18 e 50 anos, com audição normal, e associar os resultados com os achados à timpanometria. Métodos Foram selecionados 27 prontuários de adultos com audição dentro dos padrões de normalidade, sem queixa auditiva, com curva timpanométrica do tipo A, Ad ou Ar, presença de reflexos acústicos, sem queixa de zumbido e de exposição frequente a níveis de pressão sonora elevados, com repouso auditivo mínimo de 14 horas no momento do exame e que realizaram o exame de emissões otoacústicas evocadas produto de distorção. Os resultados do exame de emissões otoacústicas foram analisados considerando os resultados das curvas timpanométricas apresentadas por estes indivíduos. Para análise dos dados foram aplicados testes não paramétricos e o nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultados foram analisados os resultados das emissões otoacústicas de 54 orelhas. Observou-se maior ocorrência da curva do tipo A em indivíduos sem queixas auditivas. Independente do lado, a maioria das orelhas que apresentou resposta presente ao exame de EOAPD, apresentou, também, curva timpanométrica normal. Observou-se correlação positiva entre a amplitude das EOAPD e o volume da orelha média para as frequências de 6000 Hz e uma tendência à significância em 4000 Hz Conclusão Foi possível concluir que há maior ocorrência de emissões otoacústicas presentes em indivíduos com audição normal e curva timpanométrica do tipo A e que a amplitude das EOAPD em 6000 Hz mostra-se menor nos indivíduos com audição normal e curva timpanométrica do tipo Ar ou Ad.

Abstract Since long lawns have been cultivated worldwide to perform a large variety of functions. Brazilian lawns have been constituted by a reduced number of species and cultivars. This work was developed with the purpose of estimating the potential of use as lawns presented by the members of a collection of accesses of native species of Paspalum and Axonopus (Poaceae). The following characteristics were evaluated: maximum vertical growth height, speed of soil cover, speed of regrowth, dry mass production, ornamental quality, weed encroachment and demand for mowing. Several accessions presented desirable characteristics and can therefore be included in programs aiming the development of cultivars for lawns intended for use in a variety of situations. The results here reported and discussed represent an experimental verification of the potential of the Brazilian flora to offer plants for use as lawns, reinforce the importance of native genetic resources and contribute to the continuity of research aimed at the development of this type of cultivars in Brazil.

Abstract Lavender, an aromatic and medicinal plant, used in the extraction of essential oil, as an ornamental and meliferous plant, can be successfully propagated as long as the light, the nutrient medium and the growth regulators are adequate. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of indolebutyric acid (IBA) associated to distinct light spectra, on the in vitro rooting of Lavandula angustifolia. The experiment consisted in the combination of two concentrations of indolebutyric acid in the growth medium (0 and 0.1 mg L-1) and two light spectra, using cellulose acetate filters (blue and red), besides the control (without filter), totaling six treatments with four repetitions. For each repetition five explants were used. After 30 days, the variables evaluated were: survival percentage, number of buds and leaves, shoot length, number of roots, length of the longest root, shoot fresh and dry matter weight. There was a significant interaction among the indolebutyric acid concentrations and the light filters for the variables number of buds, leaves and roots and shoot length. Except for leaf number, promising results were obtained when the explants were held under red filters and with a concentration of 0 mg L-1 of indolebutyric acid in the growth medium. From these results, it can be concluded that the best in vitro rooting of Lavandula angustifolia is obtained when there is no indolebutyric acid in the growth medium associated with the use of the red filter.
Violência estrutural e adoecer no Haiti: reflexões sobre uma experiência
Authors: Gioda Fabiane Rosa , Grisotti Marcia , Langdon Esther Jean
Published: May 2020

Resumo Falar sobre saúde e principalmente da busca pela cura das doenças em sociedades globais empobrecidas e desassistidas traz à tona amplas e conflitivas reflexões. O Haiti é o país mais pobre das Américas e um dos mais pobres do mundo. A extrema vulnerabilidade a que a população está exposta é facilmente percebida por meio da análise do processo saúde/enfermidade/atenção, uma vez que esse é um dos domínios em que se acentuam as vivências de sofrimento, a percepção da inequidade e as intervenções ineficazes, que se pode observar em cada relato de experiência a violência estrutural como um legado histórico. Perpetuada ainda hoje por forças sociais e políticas globais, a violência estrutural pode ser pensada como fator associado ao risco de adoecer e a viabilidade (ou não) da cura ou do controle das doenças. A partir de um relato particular, discute-se com base nessa teoria o processo de adoecimento e o percurso feito até a resolução do padecimento, considerando a realidade da saúde pública do país.

RESUMO Neste artigo analisamos o que se prescreveu nas três versões da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (2015, 2016, 2017) sobre o ensino da notação alfabética e de leitura e produção de textos na educação infantil. Recorrendo à análise documental e à análise temática de conteúdo, examinamos os três documentos categorizando tanto o que apresentavam sobre o ensino da escrita alfabética (escrita espontânea de palavras, promoção da consciência fonológica e conhecimentos de letras) como as prescrições relativas à leitura e compreensão de textos e à produção de textos escritos (gêneros textuais, modalidades e habilidades de leitura e escrita sugeridos). Constatamos que, em todas as versões, a Base Nacional Comum Curricular pouco explicitou o direito de as crianças avançarem em sua compreensão da escrita alfabética antes de ingressarem no ensino fundamental. Na última versão, as indicações de práticas de leitura de textos predominavam, mas continuaram sendo tímidas as propostas de iniciação à produção de textos escritos.
