The objective of this article is to identify relationships between the sighting of fauna in rural settlements of agrarian reform and possible scenarios of the realities experienced in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Specifically, we sought to relate the sighting of fauna with the list of endangered animals in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. The methodology was based on information provided by family farmers about sightings that occur on their lot, for which it seeks to establish relationships with the scenarios of fauna on a macro (biomes) and micro (surroundings) scale. The results show that greater relevance is given to the sighting of birds and mammals, animals called mediatic. In addition, it was obtained the description of four scenarios that seek to establish relationships between abundance or not of forest fragments and economic losses due to the attack of animals in the fields in search of food, thus concluding that deforestation and replacement of native forest by agriculture without due environmental concern can cause negative impacts both for nature and for the economy.

Published: February 2025

A história do Brasil, fundamentada na estrutura da desigualdade, destinou a certos segmentos da sociedade uma posição marginalizada em relação às políticas públicas, exemplificada pela população negra. Objetivo: Buscar na literatura cientifica o estado da arte sobre as evidências no que diz respeito ao acesso do homem negro aos serviços de saúde brasileiros. Método: Estudo de Revisão de Escopo, seguindo o método de revisão proposto pelo Instituto Joanna Briggs (JBI), cuja pergunta norteadora foi: Qual o estado da arte das evidências acerca das barreiras no acesso a saúde enfrentados pelos homens negros no Brasil? As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados do PubMed, LILACS, Scopus, CINAHL e Web of Science e Google Acadêmico. A estratégia de busca foi desenvolvida com os seguintes termos no PubMed: ("Racism" OR Prejudice OR " SystemicRacism ") AND ("Black People" OR " EthnicViolence" OR “Black or African American”) AND (“Health Systems” OR “Unified Health System”) AND (Brazil OR Brazilian), a mesma estratégia foi adaptada para as outras bases de dados. Resultados: Foram encontrados 1654 estudos, dentre os quais foram excluídos 543 que estavam duplicados, restando 1111 estudos. Durante a etapa de leitura de títulos e resumos,477 foram excluídos por não cumprirem os critérios de inclusão desta pesquisa, em seguida foram excluídos 627 artigos que não atenderam os critérios de elegibilidade, restando assim 9 artigos para análise. Conclusão: No que diz respeito à realidade nacional, há poucos trabalhos sobre a percepção da população sobre o racismo na saúde no país, que não se reduzem a um único marcador social da diferença, mas vários, que se entrelaçam e atuam de forma complexa na produção das desigualdades. Cabe ressaltar, todavia, que, nos últimos anos, a temática das relações entre cor/raça e saúde ganhou visibilidade e está sendo incorporada por pesquisadores da área da saúde coletiva.

SUPLEMENTAÇÃO DE CREATINA POTENCIALIZA O EFEITO PROTETOR DA CARGA E REDUZ DANOS MUSCULARES EM PRATICANTES DE TREINAMENTO DE FORÇA
Authors: Vargas Eder Vanderson Marques , Vieira Ederson da Silva , Dos Santos Marco Antonio Machado
Published: February 2025

A suplementação de creatina (Cr) tem sido amplamente utilizada por atletas e praticantes de exercícios resistidos para melhora no desempenho físico e recuperação muscular. Apesar disso, nem todos os seus efeitos são completamente conhecidos, especialmente no contexto do efeito protetor da carga (EPC). Este estudo investigou se a suplementação de Cr pode potencializar o EPC e reduzir marcadores de dano muscular em 20 homens saudáveis, praticantes de musculação há mais de seis meses (idade: 26 ± 7 anos; massa corporal: 81,3 ± 9,2 kg; estatura: 177 ± 0,07 cm). Os participantes foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: suplementação de creatina (CRE) e placebo (PLA). O grupo CRE recebeu 20 g de creatina monoidratada por dia (4 doses de 5 g), enquanto o grupo PLA recebeu maltodextrina na mesma dosagem. O protocolo experimental foi conduzido ao longo de 25 dias e incluiu testes de força (1RM no exercício rosca bíceps no banco Scott), coleta sanguínea para análise da creatina quinase (CK) e avaliação da percepção de dor muscular tardia (DMT). Os resultados mostraram que a suplementação de Cr reduziu significativamente a percepção de dor após a primeira e a segunda sessões de exercício, além de promover uma resposta mais atenuada dos níveis de CK em comparação ao grupo PLA. O grupo CRE também apresentou um aumento significativo na massa corporal total (MCT), o que não foi observado no grupo PLA. Esses achados indicam que a suplementação de Cr pode potencializar o EPC, reduzindo o dano muscular induzido pelo exercício e auxiliando na continuidade de programas de treinamento de força. Estudos futuros são necessários para investigar os mecanismos associados a esses efeitos.

Alguns aspectos da vida dos estudantes brasileiros foram impactados pela pandemia de Covid-19, a exemplo do uso de substâncias psicoativas, o que faz emergir o valor das ações de prevenção. Sabe-se que desde 2019 houve alterações na Política Nacional sobre Drogas (PNAD) e tal fato pode interferir nas ações de saúde pública. O objetivo deste trabalho foi mapear dados sobre uso de substâncias psicoativas entre estudantes brasileiros de educação básica, coadunar informações sobre as ações de prevenção e relacioná-las com a nova PNAD, visando integrar o conhecimento e refletir sobre essa questão de saúde pública. Realizou-se revisão sistemática, em quatro principais bases de dados, entre junho e dezembro de 2023, com série histórica de oito anos. Realizou-se o levantamento das ações institucionalizadas de prevenção, nas capitais brasileiras, e suas relações com a nova PNAD, durante o ano de 2024. Observou-se que o uso de substâncias psicoativas por estudantes da educação básica é uma realidade brasileira, para diferentes perfis socioeconômicos, substâncias e padrões de uso, sendo o álcool a substância usada prevalentemente. Ações de prevenção foram evidenciadas na maioria das capitais brasileiras e há interfaces com a nova PNAD. Conclui-se pela necessidade de maior veiculação, abrangência e difusão de ações preventivas de educação e promoção da saúde e, para pessoas que usam substâncias psicoativas, ações que enfatizem o cuidado em saúde, na lógica da redução de danos.

Authors: Martínez Líbano Jonathan , Osorio Arévalo Dagna , Soto Valdivia Analía , Barahona-Fuentes Guillermo , Iturra Lara Roberto
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Mental health literacy (MHL) refers to the knowledge and beliefs related to recognizing, managing, and preventing mental disorders. University students' understanding of mental health is crucial, as this population faces significant psychological challenges. This systematic review aimed to assess the level of MHL among university students and identify key factors influencing their mental health knowledge.Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Literature was searched in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Medline for studies published between January 2020 and December 2024. Eleven relevant articles were selected based on inclusion criteria. Data were extracted and analyzed to determine the main factors affecting MHL among university students.Results: Findings revealed that MHL varies significantly among students and is influenced by multiple factors. Sociodemographic characteristics, cultural diversity, stigmatization, psychiatric history, and personal experiences with mental illness or psychological distress were identified as key determinants of MHL levels. Limited awareness and persistent stigma were common barriers affecting students' ability to recognize and seek help for mental health conditions.Conclusions: University students' MHL is shaped by diverse personal and contextual factors. Addressing stigma and enhancing awareness through targeted educational interventions could improve mental health outcomes in academic settings. Future research should explore effective strategies to increase MHL and reduce barriers to mental health care among students.

Authors: Calderón Alejandra , Arteaga Cristina , Quiroga Elizabeth , Reales Lisbeth , Pilamunga Marcelo , Marizande Fernanda , Bustillos Alberto
Published: February 2025

Introduction. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated glucose levels, which over time can cause severe vascular complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, and cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Body composition, particularly lean mass, fat-free mass, and skeletal muscle mass is a key factor in preventing these complications. This study evaluated the relationship between body composition, measured by bioimpedance, and vascular complications in T2DM patients. Methods. A quantitative, correlational, and multivariate study was conducted with 88 T2DM patients aged 18 to 90 years from diabetes clubs in the province of Tungurahua. Bioimpedance (Inbody S10) was used to measure body composition. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and principal component analysis with SPSS.Results. The results showed that lean mass and fat-free mass decreased significantly with age, which correlates with a higher risk of vascular complications. Skeletal muscle mass had a weaker correlation with complications, especially in the case of retinopathy. Microvascular complications, such as neuropathy and nephropathy, were more related to lean mass and fat-free mass. Conclusions. Preserving lean mass and fat-free mass are critical factors for reducing the risk of vascular complications in T2DM patients. Physical exercise and proper nutrition are suggested to maintain a healthy body composition, especially in older adults, as a key strategy to prevent microvascular and macrovascular complications.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Research is a fundamental pillar in higher education, particularly in Social Work, as it facilitates the understanding and transformation of social realities. This study examines the ontological, epistemic, and methodological constructs in undergraduate research in the Social Work program at a private Chilean university. The objective of this research is to analyze the ontological, epistemic, and methodological frameworks in the undergraduate theses of Social Work students (2017-2022) to improve research training and professional preparation.Method: A descriptive-exploratory documentary analysis of 71 theses was carried out, categorizing the constructs into ontological, epistemic, methodological, and ethical dimensions. The data were evaluated through content analysis and grounded theory, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with Chilean data protection legislation.Results: Ontological constructs predominantly followed a comprehensive-interpretive approach (85.92%), while epistemic frameworks were mostly phenomenological (76.05%). Methodologically, semi-structured interviews (52.11%) and in-depth interviews (28.17%) were the most used. Ethical constructs were often based on informed consent, but 76.05% lacked adherence to formal ethical codes.Conclusions: The research highlights a focus on qualitative methodologies, emphasizing phenomenological and interpretive frameworks. To advance social work research, it is essential to incorporate quantitative and mixed methods. Strengthening ethical adherence and methodological diversity is critical to developing strong research competencies

Authors: Ramlan Pratiwi , Sukri Phill , Abdullah Muh. Tang , Ibrahim Muhammad Akmal , Ahmad Jamaluddin , Adri Khaeriyad
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Stunting, recognized as a prominent global health issue, particularly in low-income countries, arises from persistent undernutrition and frequent infections, adversely impacting children's physical development, cognitive abilities, and future economic productivity. Notwithstanding the implementation of various maternal and child health strategies designed to mitigate stunting, its incidence remains alarmingly high, exhibiting differential efficacy across diverse contexts due to obstacles in policy execution, accessibility issues, and socio-cultural influences.
Methods: This study utilized a research methodology that included a bibliometric analysis of publications retrieved from the Scopus Database relating to maternal and child health policies in reducing stunting prevalence using the keywords “maternal and child health policies” and “stunting”. The findings were directly related to the research topic, revealing a total of 154 articles published from 2004 to 2023. The criteria set emphasized articles written in English, with the data obtained exported in CSV format. VOS viewer version 1.6.17 was used for bibliometric analysis in this study.
Results: The results showed a significant increase in publications addressing the relationship between health policies and stunting prevalence. Academic discussions on policy and stunting have also increased, especially in the fields of medicine and nursing, which reveal the health impacts on stunted children. Data analysis from various studies emphasized the importance of evidence-based strategies that combine medical interventions with structural, social and economic transformation.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this review emphasizes the importance of collaboration between various sectors, including health, education, and agriculture, in addressing stunting. Policymakers should consider establishing dedicated funding streams through public-private partnerships to ensure the sustainability of stunting prevention programs. Implementing regulatory frameworks that mandate intersectoral collaboration between health, education, and agriculture sectors can enhance policy coherence and resource optimization. Furthermore, adopting performance-based incentives for local health agencies may encourage more effective policy implementation and service delivery.

Published: February 2025

The study focused on the job incentive and fulfilment among poultry farm employees in South-South, Nigeria. A multistage random sampling methods used in assortment of respondents. Data were composed using organized questionnaire and analyzed by means of inferential and descriptive statistics. The average age of poultry workers is approximately 43 years, placing them in a productive age bracket. Most of the respondents are married males with an average of 15 years of farming experience and a secondary school education. The data shows a typical household size of 8 individuals and a workforce of 12 employees. Among the various factors influencing job fulfilment, high wages emerged as the most significant motivator, while a viable pension scheme ranked the lowest. Employees reported that salary levels had the greatest impact on their job fulfillment, whereas factors like advance payments and the age of workers were seen as less influential. Increased motivation correlates positively with higher farm profits and revenues. Additionally, probit regression analysis revealed that wages and salaries are key factors in determining job fulfilment, demonstrating a positive statistical significance. Conversely, advance payments showed a negative statistical significance. To boost revenues and profits in the poultry sector, the study suggests implementing inspirational policies that prioritize competitive wages in relation to the work performed and consider other motivational aspects.

Rubrics Methodology in Detail: Helping Save The Children Turn Children's Experiences of Discrimination and Exclusion into Rich, Trackable Outcomes
Authors: Davidson E. Jane , Chianca Thomaz , Dulieu Nicole , Sigdel Anil
Published: February 2025

Background: Save the Children’s child sponsorship program (referred to as Sponsorship) supports children, their families and communities, and institutions in 20 countries to create social and behavior change together so that all children survive, learn, are protected, and live free from discrimination.
Purpose: To present a new rubrics-enhanced monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL) system being developed with Save the Children’s Sponsorship Program. The system helps the organization track progress on key social change outcomes, especially less tangible outcomes, such as children’s experiences of inequality and discrimination.
Setting: Sponsorship’s work spans 20 countries around the world. It works through a 10-year program cycle, building community capacity to create social change that addresses the root causes of inequality and discrimination for a group ofchildren living in an impact area. The evaluation methodology showcased here was piloted in Zambia, the Philippines, and El Salvador.
Intervention: Not applicable.
Research Design: This paper presents some of the nuts and bolts of using rubrics to turn stories of change into rich, trackable outcomes, using one of the 12 rubrics developed for Sponsorship to illustrate the methodology.
Data Collection and Analysis: Focus group and interview protocols are used to gather stories and other documentation (such as health statistics and educational outcomes) from children, families, community members, educators, health care professionals, and local government officials. A detailed, step-by-step evidence interpretation guide shows how to synthesize these multiple sources of evidence and convert them into evaluative ratings using rubrics and guided evaluative reasoning.
Findings: Rubrics are a powerful tool for evaluating complex and nuanced outcomes, provided they are appropriately adapted for different contexts. For MEAL practitioners less familiar with rubrics methodology, detailed guidance and support are needed to help ensure that the framework is applied consistently across the system while also being contextually responsive. Based on Save the Children’s experience, several helpful strategies are presented for introducing rubrics into an existing M&E system: starting small and building momentum; opt-in piloting and gradual rollout; smart capacity building; providing more detailed guidance to evaluators and managers; getting buy-in to a specific measurement problem and solution rather than replacing the entire MEAL system; working with expert allies; and getting excited and innovative.
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology’s Unique Contribution to Evaluation
Authors: Morell Jonny , LeGros Theresa
Published: February 2025

Background: Evaluation recognizes the need to consider three constructs –  program change over time, the consequences of program action over time, and relationships between programs with their environments. Our methods for studying these constructs are home grown, i.e. they have developed almost exclusively within our field. These constructs, however, have a long and deep history in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB). Thus it makes sense to consider how EEB might contribute to the models. methodologies, and data analysis strategies that evaluation applies to program change, outcomes, and program/environment interactions.  Further, in recent years evaluation has been paying ever greater attention to how complex system behavior affects programs and their outcomes. Much in the fields of EEB can be seen as a subset of complexity.
Purpose: This article has two purposes: 1) to convince evaluators that EEB can empower their efforts to evaluate change over time in programs, outcomes, and program/environment effects, and 2) to spur the growth of a group of evaluators with an interest in further exploring EEB’s contribution to our field

La mediación laboral obligatoria, como requisito previo al litigio en la unidad judicial de trabajo en Ecuador, es una alternativa viable para optimizar la resolución de conflictos laborales. Este estudio analiza su marco jurídico, impacto en costos y tiempos procesales, y propone lineamientos para su implementación. A través de un enfoque metodológico descriptivo y analítico, se recopiló información mediante revisión bibliográfica, aplicación de encuestas a miembros de la función judicial y un análisis de la normativa, donde los resultados evidencian que la mediación reduce significativamente la carga judicial y fomenta acuerdos consensuados, preservando relaciones laborales. La falta de obligatoriedad de este mecanismo, junto con barreras culturales y normativas, limita su eficacia. Sin embargo, su adopción permite mejorar el acceso a la justicia y promover una cultura de resolución pacífica de conflictos en temas laborales. El presente artículo destaca la relevancia de la mediación como un requisito obligatorio previo a los juicios en el ámbito laboral, por cuanto facilita que las partes involucradas alcancen acuerdos efectivos sin la intervención de un juez, lo que contribuye a agilizar la resolución de conflictos y a reducir la carga en las salas de justicia. Se concluye que, para maximizar su impacto, es esencial el compromiso de actores judiciales, sociales y gubernamentales en el desarrollo de políticas públicas que respalden su implementación.

The Pesantren Muhammadiyah Development Institute (LP2M) is in charge of data management, licensing, and management of Pesantren Muhammadiyah, but it still manually processes Islamic boarding school databases. This often causes several problems, including time, process, and reporting. Data changes are relatively long, and the level of accuracy could be higher. One of the database management systems considered the most relevant is implementing a web-based management information system for Pesantren Muhammadiyah. The implementation of this website-based management information system can be accessed easily, quickly, and accurately. This implementation uses the development Life Cycle (SDLC) development methodology or the Waterfall model. The Waterfall method helps input Islamic boarding school data and makes it easier to register or change it quickly, efficiently, and accurately. PHP as a scripting language, Xampp web server, and MySql as a database are the tools needed to design this application. The results of this study were successfully presented with 85% usability. They provided convenience for LP2M in processing and managing the Pesantren Muhammadiyah database accurately, quickly, and precisely, making it easier to provide services and make decisions or improve data effectively and efficiently.
“DÓXA” E “SER” NO LIVRO V DE A REPÚBLICA:
Authors: Pereira Tiago José Quadros
Published: February 2025

O dualismo metafísico em Platão é uma característica fundamental que molda a interpretação de sua filosofia como uma dicotomia entre os mundos sensível e inteligível. A separação radical entre essas realidades é questionada, propondo-se uma perspectiva não-dual. A análise dos termos “opinião” (do&ca) e “ser” (ei]nai) no livro V de A República revela que a “opinião” funciona como um intermediário entre a ignorância e a ciência, enquanto o verbo “ser” abrange um caráter veritativo e existencial, conectando as realidades. Ao enfatizar a inter-relação entre o sensível e o inteligível, a compreensão da metafísica platônica torna-se mais integrada, desafiando visões dicotômicas.
A DEDUÇÃO DOS JUÍZOS DE GOSTO DA CRÍTICA DA FACULDADE DE JULGAR
Authors: Sena Carolina Miranda
Published: February 2025

Este artigo objetiva realizar uma análise crítica da “Dedução dos juízos de gosto” que Kant desenvolve na Crítica da faculdade de julgar. A “Dedução” da terceira Crítica tem como problema principal a legitimidade de um princípio a priori para o gosto. A faculdade de julgar precisa de um princípio a priori para uma consequente universalidade e validade necessária do juízo de gosto. Da obrigatoriedade de uma dedução, Kant chega, então, à realização da “Dedução” do princípio a priori da faculdade de julgar. A dedução, por sua vez, afirma que a faculdade de julgar em geral tem uma condição formal válida a priori que é a mesma condição subjetiva do conhecimento objetivo universalmente comunicável. Portanto, a faculdade de julgar tem um elemento subjetivo a priori e, por essa razão, o juízo de gosto pode ser esperado de todos. Faremos uma análise do argumento kantiano para compreender se a “Dedução dos juízos de gosto” legitima o princípio a priori da faculdade de julgar.
NAQUELE TEMPO EM QUE DERRIDA ERA ESCRIBA E OS HIERÓGLIFOS MUDOS
Authors: Carvalhar Carlos
Published: February 2025

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir o papel dos hieróglifos egípcios no pensamento de Derrida, através de uma contextualização histórica, ainda que breve. Ao historizar o desenvolvimento da compreensão do significado da escrita hieroglífica, veremos que Derrida, quando aponta o Egito, retoma a discussão do séc. XVII – XVIII com relação à linguagem natural e às interpretações místicas dos hieróglifos. Discussão essa bem exemplificada pela crítica materialista de Warburton à leitura alegórica de Kircher, o qual extrapolou as opiniões da Renascença que redescobria autores da Antiguidade como Horapolo. Devido a essa leitura, será possível também identificar o conhecimento de Derrida sobre os estudos do Egito Antigo, suficiente para que tenha sido caricaturado como um escriba, mas inferior ao nível do especialista. Em segundo momento, a escrita é posta em discussão de acordo com os duplos fármacos de Platão no Fedro, o qual instaura o logocentrismo e a valorização da fala em detrimento da escrita, considerada, até Derrida, como algo inferior e de segunda ordem.
Ultrasonic Processing Across Different Phases in Laser Welding of Large Thin-Walled Structures

Published: February 2025

In laser welding applications for large structures like oil storage tanks, ships, automobiles, and high-speed rail, effective post-weld heat treatment is challenging because the structures are large and cannot be disassembled. This results in significant residual welding stress, leading to reduced mechanical properties, shorter fatigue life, and excessive welding deformation, which compromises assembly accuracy. Current studies on ultrasonic field application in thin-walled structures predominantly position the ultrasonic source directly beneath the welding pool. While this approach offers high ultrasonic transfer efficiency and a straightforward physical model, it is impractical for large, enclosed, or non-transparent structures, where access from behind is limited and weld protection is required. This paper proposes a novel process model that positions the ultrasonic source on the same side as the welding pool, addressing key challenges in practical engineering. Preliminary investigations into critical aspects of this model provide a foundation for further research and potential industrial application.

Background: Bioactive peptides, specific fragments of proteins with beneficial health effects, are increasingly recognized and utilized in drug development due to their numerous advantages. These advantages include an improved ability to penetrate biological barriers, minimal toxicity, and rapid elimination from the body. Objectives: This research focused on identifying bioactive peptides obtained from the lanternfish (Benthosema pterotum) and their effects on the induction of apoptosis in the HT-29 cell line. Methods: Lanternfish collected from the Makran coast were hydrolyzed using Alcalase (HA) and Flavourzyme (HF) enzymes. The protein hydrolysates were then purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC), resulting in BPHA and BPHF. Cells were treated with protein hydrolysates under 3 kDa at different concentrations and cisplatin for 48 hours. Cell proliferation was assessed using the MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis. Results: Hydrolyzed proteins HA and HF exhibited high protein levels, with 80.26% and 79.45%, respectively. Additionally, based on the MTT assay results, the IC50 values of the bioactive peptides digested with HA and HF in HT-29 cells were 313.7 μg/mL and 392.8 μg/mL, respectively. These results indicated significant apoptosis in cancer cells, with effects comparable to those of cisplatin (P < 0.01). Conclusions: The potential of the bioactive peptide assessed in this investigation was demonstrated by its ability to inhibit the proliferation of HT-29 human colon cancer cells. This finding underscores its promise as a prospective candidate for colon cancer treatment.
