Published: July 2019

Abstract “Bad news”, defined as information with huge emotional valence and potential to change personal perspectives, is, by definition, a challenge for physicians. However, the subject is not always taught in medical schools. This systematic literature review compiles all articles regarding communication of bad news after researching in databases for “medical school” and “bad news” in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The criterion was to include articles that elucidated about teaching techniques. From all 313 papers, we included 27 and classified their strategies. Most results showed that mixed strategies are more common and that, in general, the subject is well-received and appreciated by students, who reported an improvement in communicative capability after the training. We conclude that all techniques are valid and medical schools should focus on integrating this training in their regular curriculum.

Resumo Este estudo objetivou investigar saberes de alunos de medicina sobre espiritualidade e religiosidade no cuidado ao paciente. Trata-se de pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, quantitativa, pautada no Spirituality and Brazilian Medical Education, desenvolvida em duas escolas médicas do Ceará, Brasil. Os 437 participantes preencheram questionário posteriormente processado por análise descritiva. Os resultados apontaram que esses estudantes conhecem os significados e a relevância de espiritualidade e religiosidade na assistência ao paciente, mas ainda não se sentem preparados para a abordagem completa, em virtude das limitações de aprendizagem na formação acadêmica. Conclui-se que precisam aprender mais sobre a temática para efetiva abordagem do assunto com o paciente. Para tanto, é importante que as escolas médicas acrescentem o tema à matriz curricular.
Do presente ao futuro: meio ambiente no contexto bioético
Authors: Carvalho Alexandre Assis , Ferreira Jussara Rocha
Published: July 2019

Resumo Trata-se de estudo reflexivo acerca dos artigos 16 e 17 da Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanos, sobre proteção das gerações futuras, do meio ambiente, da biosfera e da biodiversidade. Por serem temas constantemente analisados, é necessário ter visão crítica para aprimorar seus efeitos práticos, muitas vezes deixados de lado em discussões que acentuam apartações sociais. Realizou-se busca etimológica dos termos constituintes dos princípios para favorecer sua conexão e repensar seu conteúdo, associando-os com questões atuais. Propôs-se também reinterpretar a declaração, tendo o meio ambiente como pano de fundo. Ambos não são meros princípios na declaração e sem eles seria improvável atingir plenamente os demais, uma vez que os interligam e asseguram vida equilibrada para gerações atuais e futuras, dependendo do fazer humano.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the role of the social network configured by the family/companion and their implications for their stay during the hospitalization of the child in the pediatric hospitalization unit. Method: Qualitative study with ten family members/companions of hospitalized children. Data collection was done through the technique of individual interview, which occurred in the period from February to December 2015. The analysis was thematic, in light of the theoretical reference of "Social Networks" described by Lia Sanicola. Results and discussion: The main role of the social network was emotional and material support, and the main components of this network were: companion, mother, aunt and daughter, as well as nursing team, physician and other family members/companions. Final considerations and implications for the practice: It was verified that the totality of the interviewees was female, however, the husband was the most important member of the social network for the family members involved, since they perform the material/financial and emotional function. In addition, the participants consider that they are responsible for all care to the family and, in the condition in that they are, they understand it as a favor provided by the other members of the network. Identifying the composition of the social networks of family members/companions provides a better targeting of care in order to strengthen the social support received.

Authors: Cortese Dionatam , Pierozan Junior Clovis , Walter Jilvana Barbara , Cortese Diaine , Oliveira Silas Maciel de
Published: July 2019

Abstract: Cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) are vital nutrients for biological fixation and nitrogen assimilation by soybean. This study aimed to evaluate the increase of Co and Mo contents in soybean seeds by leaf applications. The experiment was carried out in a seed production field in a 3 × 3 factorial scheme with three Co and Mo doses and three treatments (times). Each treatment consisted of two application times: R3+R5.1 (T1), R3+R5.4 (T2), and R5.1+R5.4 (T3). Doses were 0, 400, and 600 g.ha−1 of Mo and 0, 40, and 60 g.ha−1 of Co. No difference was observed for productivity, one thousand-seed weight, and germination. An interaction was observed between dose and application time in the Mo content. The application of 400 g ha−1 of Mo in T1 (R3+R5.1) provided a higher Mo content in the seeds (13.5 g.kg−1), which is 1350% higher when compared to the control. For Co, there was a difference only for doses, and the application of 40 or 60 g.ha−1 of Co increased seed nutrient content by 30%. Therefore, a higher enrichment of Co and Mo was observed in seeds with applications of 40 and 400 g.ha−1, respectively, applied in R3+R5.1.

Authors: Grigoleto Marcela Regina Paganuchi , Medina Priscila Fratin , Parisi João José Dias , Santos Franciele dos
Published: July 2019

Abstract: This study was performed to identify the best temperatures for germinating peanut seeds with fungi on a paper substrate. Eleven seed lots from the cultivars IAC-886 and IAC-503 were selected with different levels of fungi. Two of these seed lots with a high rate of Aspergillus spp., Penicillium sp., and Rhizopus sp., as detected by the blotter test method, were used for selecting a fungicide for seed treatment. Considering the active ingredients evaluated, thiram, at the rate of 300 g of commercial product per 100 kg of seeds, was most efficient in controlling fungi, preventing their interference in germination. All the seed lots, treated with this product or not, were subjected to the germination test on rolls of paper at the temperatures of 25 °C, 30 °C, 35 °C, 20-30 °C, 20-35 °C, 25-30 °C, and 25-35 °C. Alternating temperatures of 20-35 °C, 20-30 °C, and 25-30 °C led to higher germination of peanut seeds, treated with fungicides or not. Constant temperatures are not recommended, because they are more favorable to the development of fungi associated with these seeds than to the germination process, thus underestimating the germination potential of the seeds subjected to the test.

Abstract: Germination of the coffee (Coffea arabica L.) seed is the result of events that occur simultaneously in the embryo and endosperm. To understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for these events, we undertook a transcriptome analysis of embryo, micropylar and lateral endosperms from 10-day-imbibed seeds. The sequencing yielded contigs coding for 16,813 proteins. From those, 14,005 (~ 83%) were highly similar to at least one protein sequence in the nr database. 162 genes were significantly expressed in the embryo, 36 in the micropylar endosperm and 72 in the lateral endosperm. The tissue specificity analysis of the significantly expressed genes showed that the embryo had the highest proportion of specific genes (113/162, ~70%), while 11 were expressed in the micropylar and lateral endosperms. In the embryo, genes were mainly associated with abiotic stress, cell growth, and intercellular communication. In the micropylar and lateral endosperms, they were associated with abiotic stress and cell wall degradation. The accuracy of RNA-seq data was confirmed by RT-qPCR. This work adds new information about the molecular mechanism involved in coffee seed germination.

Published: July 2019

Abstract: Evaluation of the physiological potential of seeds by fast and efficient methods is an important step in the process of production and commercialization of sweet corn seeds. The aim of this study was to discriminate sweet corn seed lots by applying multivariate methods regarding the usual vigor tests to verify the sensitivity of these seeds to flood conditions and to verify if the submersion test has potential for classifying lots of this species regarding vigor. Five seed lots of sweet corn were tested for moisture content and physiological potential. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis were performed on the data to discriminate the seed lots regarding initial vigor. Subsequently, two of these lots were selected for the water submersion test, performed with four replicates of 150 seeds, which were submerged in 100 mL of distilled water for 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours at 25 ºC, and they then underwent the germination test. Discrimination of sweet corn seed lots is possible through multivariate analysis. Sweet corn seeds are sensitive to submersion in water; however, the test did not allow seed lots to be differentiated for vigor.

Published: July 2019

Abstract: Annual ryegrass seeds having low physiological quality can lead to the formation of pastures with undesirable plant stands for soil cover and forage utilization pastures. Thus, the objective of this study was proposing a vigor test to classify annual ryegrass seeds. For that, different sowing depths (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 cm) over three substrates (sand, coconut fiber, and carbonized rice husk) were tested to differentiate the physiological quality of four seed lots of annual ryegrass cv. BRS Ponteio having similarities in germination and moisture. The seed lots were classified according to vigor through the field seedling emergence (FSE), 1,000-seeds weight, saturated salt accelerated aging, and germination first count. The 2.5 cm of sand sowing depth and 3.0 cm of coconut fiber sowing depth provided separation of seed lots in similar groups of those reported to FSE test through the seedling emergence and speed of seedling emergence tests.

Published: July 2019

Abstract: The objective of this work was to carry out the agroclimatic zoning of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, in order to identify the regions with the best climatic conditions for producing seeds with high quality of early soybean cultivars. For this purpose, the average monthly temperature data from 11 conventional and 34 automated meteorological stations were used. Due to the low number of stations with data temperature available, this variable was estimated using spatial regression equations, having latitude, longitude and altitude as input variables. Regions with high or low climatic risk were defined according to the average temperatures observed in January and February. The following three categories were established: favorable (≤ 24 °C); moderately favorable (24.1 to 25 °C) and slightly favorable (≥ 25.1 °C). For the material confection, map usage, and geographical data compilation, the inverse distance squared weighted interpolation method was applied. The ArcGIS system was employed to compose the thematic map, in which the best areas for producing seeds of early soybean cultivar were marked. Most of the Southeastern, and Western regions of Mato Grosso were considered to be favorable for producing high quality seeds of early soybean cultivars (average temperature ≤ 24 °C).

Published: July 2019

Abstract: Castor bean seeds are the raw material used for extracting oil destined to pharmaceutical and industrial ends. The appropriate application of post-harvest technologies, such as processing, is required to ensure the production of top quality seeds. Thus, this study aimed at assessing the physiological quality of seeds from two castor bean genotypes, classified according to their specific mass and size. Castor seeds of the genotypes EVF102 and EVF103 were mechanically harvested and then classified with the aid of cylindrical sieves and a densimetric table. This procedure was conducted at the processing unit of the company Sementes Goiás LTDA [Goiás Seeds Co.]. Evaluations of seed physiological quality were carried out in the Seed Laboratory of Instituto Federal Goiano, following a completely randomized design. The testing was conducted in four replicates, in a 2 x 2 x 5 factorial scheme (two genotypes x two sizes x five specific masses). The following parameters were appraised: (a) mass of one thousand seeds; (b) germination; (c) germination speed index; (d) emergence test; (e) emergence speed index; (f) electrical conductivity; and (g) accelerated aging. Genotype EVF102 seeds sized 8 mm, as classified by the densimetric table, showed the highest physiological quality, considering the germination, germination speed index, and emergence. Seeds of the genotype EVF103, sorted by size, exhibited no difference in physiological quality.

Published: July 2019

Resumo As Delegacias Especializadas de Atendimento à Mulher (Deam) compõem a rede intersetorial de serviços de atendimento à violência contra as mulheres. A proposta deste estudo foi buscar aproximação à realidade de uma Deam, com mulheres em situação de violência e policiais que trabalhavam na unidade. O método é qualitativo, consistindo em pesquisa etnográfica numa delegacia do interior do estado de São Paulo. Nas relações entre usuárias e policiais, o contato que mantinham entre si revelou que as mulheres se opunham à violência, ainda que, por vezes, suas relações fossem antagônicas e conflitivas. Nas diferentes linguagens entre as imprescindibilidades das vítimas e policiais, enquanto as agentes enquadravam os relatos nas normas do direito e da justiça, as usuárias queriam atendimento integral de segurança pública e saúde. De um lado, a violência era relacional, envolvia as linguagens do parentesco e se imiscuía no cotidiano; de outro, era um registro, um direito ou uma ação a ser tomada. A experiência etnográfica mostrou os limites de uma Deam, desenhou suas dificuldades em atender as demandas e revelou as angústias de cada voz, mas também surgiu como lócus de resolução de conflitos e negociações, não se limitando às interpretações criminais. Dessa forma, a Deam se mostrou como um lugar para as mulheres falarem de si e de suas expectativas.
O discurso de Antônio Carlos Pacheco e Silva sobre a psicanálise: São Paulo, 1926-1979
Authors: Alarcão Gustavo , Mota André
Published: July 2019

Resumo Qualquer estudioso da história do campo psi reconhece a dimensão das tensões existentes entre psicanálise e psiquiatria. Ao mesmo tempo, a perspectiva histórica nos mostra interligações e influências mútuas nos planos teóricos, práticos, institucionais e políticos entre essas disciplinas. No caso paulista, Antônio Carlos Pacheco e Silva (1898-1988) influenciou gerações de psiquiatras formadas nas escolas de psiquiatria que chefiou entre 1923-1968. Sua história tem sido estudada sob diferentes perspectivas, havendo uma lacuna sobre sua posição com relação à psicanálise. Este artigo procura rever essa lacuna histórica, baseando-se na análise dos documentos do próprio psiquiatra sobre a psicanálise, que demonstram objetivamente sua posição. Pretendemos, com isso, contribuir para a compreensão da história do campo psi em São Paulo.
O que podem nos contar os estágios supervisionados em/sobre saúde coletiva?
Authors: Pereira Éverton Luís , Carneiro Rosamaria
Published: July 2019

Resumo Finalizados, em 2018, 10 anos do início dos cursos de graduação em saúde coletiva no Brasil, muito se tem discutido sobre a atuação do sanitarista no mundo do trabalho e seu papel entre as diversas profissões da saúde historicamente reconhecidas. Muitas das possibilidades de atuação estão em construção nos espaços de estágio obrigatório nos currículos das universidades. Partindo desse solo, entendemos que os campos de estágio podem ser vistos como espaços propícios para a análise do perfil dos sanitaristas que estão sendo formados e a maneira como as diferentes áreas que fazem parte da saúde coletiva estabelecem os diálogos necessários para a formação do perfil desejado, eminentemente multidisciplinar. A partir de experiências dos autores na supervisão de estágios em saúde coletiva, o artigo debaterá os embates entre as áreas do campo no momento da construção da prática profissional. De que maneiras suas lentes moldam os campos e olhares disparados em ambientes de prática? Assim, inspirados no clássico Os argonautas do Pacífico ocidental, de Malinowski, a ideia é refletir sobre a atuação do sanitarista, especialmente o que e como fazem, bem como sobre o que dizem e pensam sobre o que fazem. Ao final, discorremos sobre a prática da própria saúde coletiva.

Published: July 2019

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o tratamento de efluentes de lavanderia hospitalar por processo oxidativo avançado UV/H2O2. O planejamento fatorial 32 foi empregado de modo a avaliar a influência do pH e da dosagem de peróxido na eficiência do tratamento. Os experimentos de foto-oxidação foram realizados com efluentes coletados na lavanderia do Hospital Universitário Regional de Maringá (HUM). Resultados relativos à caracterização do efluente e às reduções de parâmetros físico-químicos: cor, turbidez, demanda biológica de oxigênio (DBO), surfactantes e a quantificação de coliformes totais e termotolerantes, também são apresentados neste trabalho. Foram testados três valores de pH - 5, 7 e 9 - e três dosagens de peróxido de hidrogênio nas razões de [DQO]:[H2O2] - 1:0,5, 1:2,5 e 1:5. Os melhores resultados foram alcançados com o tratamento realizado em pH 9 e razão [DQO]:[H2O2] de 1:2,5. As eficiências de remoção da demanda química de oxigênio (DQO) e de surfactantes foram, em média, de 60,3 e 98%, respectivamente, porém o tratamento não se mostrou eficiente na redução de cor e turbidez, demonstrando a necessidade de se acoplar tratamentos complementares para a redução de tais parâmetros.
Big things come in small packages: why limnologists should care about small ponds
Authors: Mullins Melissa L. , Doyle Robert D.
Published: July 2019

Abstract There is a substantial, and increasing, body of evidence that small ponds are critically important in diverse landscapes around the world by providing habitat, processing carbon, and mediating hydrological and nutrient fluxes to other larger surface waters (rivers, lakes, coastal). They are also among the most abundant surface water bodies in many areas. In an urbanizing planet, ecosystem services provided by ponds may become even more important. However, they have been historically neglected by limnologists and including them in global analyses can still be problematic. We propose that more limnologists should include small ponds in research programs; and we argue that these are also ideal systems for teaching the next generation of limnologists as well as for engaging the public.

Association between the Quality of Teacher-Child Interaction and Language Development
Authors: Veraksa Aleksander , Gavrilova Margarita , Bukhalenkova Daria
Published: July 2019

The article presents a review aimed at studying the relationship between the process quality of the educational environment and the indicators of preschool language development. By process quality is understood the quality of the processes of teacher-child interaction in kindergarten groups (the CLASSTM assessment). The review considers correlation and longitudinal studies. The analysis and systematization of research results is carried out separately for the CLASSTM domains: Instructional Support, Emotional Support and Classroom Organization, which correspond to the emotional, instructional and organizational aspects of teacher-child interactions. The results of the studies testify to the existence of a stable connection between the organizational features of teacher-child interactions and their results of language development. The high level of consistency in the research results testifies to the effectiveness of the method used to assess the process quality of the educational environment — the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASSTM) and the significant effect of process quality on preschool language development. This review can be useful for researchers of the quality of preschool education, since it presents systematic results of studies and information on the effectiveness of methods used in them.
Engineering and Economics Graduates: Between Demand and Supply
Authors: Varshavskaya Elena , Kotyrlo Elena
Published: July 2019

Microdata from the National Employment Survey of 2010–2015 Vocational and University Graduates conducted by the Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) in April–September 2016 is used to analyze the study-to-work transition of graduates in engineering and economics. Transition effectiveness is used to estimate the ratio of demand and supply of graduates’ labor. Research methods include descriptive and regression analysis.

Statistical analysis of macro data shows that the number of skilled engineers who obtained degrees in 1990–2000 exceeded the number of engineers exiting the labor force upon reaching the age of retirement during that period. While aggregate supply of engineering workforce was growing during the post-reform era, demand for their labor was shrinking―mostly due to a considerable decline in industrial jobs.

It has been established that chances of getting a job, average time that it takes to find one, and the degree of first-job educational and skill match are pretty much the same for young qualified engineers and economists. No statistically significant difference has been observed between their starting salaries, either. Therefore, no evidence has been found to support the hypothesis about a high unmet demand for qualified engineers and surplus of workforce in economics and management. The study demonstrates that the reported shortage of engineers has nothing to do with low aggregate supply. Research findings could be used in the design of academic programs for higher education at national and regional scales.
Heat tolerance in plant leaves v1
Authors: V Leon-Garcia Indira , Lasso Eloisa
Published: July 2019

The protocol is based on Krause (2010) with some modifications proposed by the Feeley Lab in 2016. This protocol is for finding heat tolerance or the critical thermal maximum temperature of plant leaves. Plants can undergo heat damage that can be repaired as long as the critical value is not exceed. This value is called critical thermal maximum (CTmax) or heat tolerance (T50) and is the highest temperature a leaf can take before and irreversible damage occurs, and when exceeded leads to necrosis. The way we measure this is using chlorophyll fluorescence, more specifically, the maximum efficiency of PSII value or Fv/Fm, which optimal values are around 0.83 in non stressed leaves. Fv/Fm can be obtained with a fluorometer or with an Irga, in both cases using dark adaptation clips. Plant collection is recommended to be done on the day of the procedure or, as long as leaves are kept well hydrated, the material can be even measured a day after the collection. The total time required for the measurement to be compleated is 2 days (including a 24h wait). Apart from the fluorometer, the equipment needed includes a water heating device (stable water temperature is imperative), such as a water bath or if possible a Sous Vide (recommended to us by Ken Feeley; works great!).
