Astrocyte modulation of synaptic plasticity mediated by activity-dependent Sonic hedgehog signaling
Authors: Le Anh Duc , Fu Marissa , Carper Ashley , Zegarowicz Elizabeth , Kumar Riya , Zacharias Gloria , Garcia A. Denise R.
Published: February 2025

The influence of neural activity on astrocytes and their reciprocal interactions with neurons has emerged as an important modulator of synapse function. Astrocytes exhibit activity-dependent changes in gene expression, yet the molecular mechanisms by which neural activity is coupled to gene expression are not well understood. The molecular signaling pathway, Sonic hedgehog (Shh), mediates neuron-astrocyte communication and regulates the organization of cortical synapses. Here, we demonstrate that neural activity stimulates Shh signaling in cortical astrocytes and upregulates expression of Hevin and SPARC, astrocyte-derived molecules that modify synapses. Whisker stimulation in both male and female mice promotes activity-dependent Shh signaling selectively in the somatosensory, but not visual cortex, whereas sensory deprivation reduces Shh activity, demonstrating bidirectional regulation of the pathway by sensory experience. Selective loss of Shh signaling in astrocytes reduces expression of Hevin and SPARC and occludes activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. Taken together, these data identify Shh signaling as an activity-dependent, molecular signaling pathway that regulates astrocyte gene expression and promotes astrocyte modulation of synaptic plasticity.

Significance statementUnderstanding how the nervous system orchestrates the complex cellular and molecular interactions that are necessary to adapt to changing environments is a fundamental goal in neuroscience. Neuronal adaption to novel experience is well characterized, however astrocytes are now recognized as key players in modulating synaptic function and plasticity. Like neurons, astrocytes exhibit activity-dependent gene expression. However, the mechanisms by which activity is coupled to gene expression are poorly defined. Here, we show that neural activity stimulates the molecular signaling pathway, Sonic hedgehog (Shh), in astrocytes. Shh signaling promotes expression of synapse-regulating genes and is required for astrocyte modulation of synaptic plasticity. Understanding how astrocytes contribute to synaptic plasticity sheds new light on how experience shapes brain function.
Los maestros de Ciencias Sociales de la ciudad de Medellín ante la enseñanza de la historia reciente de Colombia: Una toma de posición
Authors: Tabares Ospina Anderson
Published: February 2025

This paper sought to analyze the positions assumed by Social Science teachers of two educational institutions in Medellin when teaching the recent history of Colombia and how these positions reflected their political subjectivity. To this end, from a qualitative social approach, a case study was conducted involving six secondary school teachers. The results revealed that these teachers are political subjects who, by assuming a position and being aware of their political role, incorporated the recent history of violence as content in their classes with the objective that students, by understanding the past, could understand the present and contribute to its transformation. In this way, by assuming a position, teachers reflect their political subjectivity, understanding the act of positioning themselves as a political event in which the subject recognizes his past and projects a future.
Comunidades Profesionales de Aprendizaje para Implementar la Evaluación Formativa. De la Evaluación de los Aprendizajes del Alumnado a la Evaluación de la Práctica Docente
Authors: Morales Lobo Mariana , Fernández Juan G.
Published: February 2025

La evaluación formativa figura en la legislación educativa y constituye una de las características fundamentales de la evaluación en todas las etapas de la educación obligatoria. Sin embargo, su implementación es desigual y su propósito malentendido por una parte del profesorado. En el presente artículo se revisan los intentos de implementación que se han llevado a cabo en centros educativos muy variados, desde el punto de vista de formadores de docentes que tratan de capacitar a los claustros para llevar a cabo dicha implementación con éxito. En base a esta revisión, se sugieren distintas estrategias para que los docentes cambien su mirada sobre la evaluación, destacando el papel que la generación de comunidades de aprendizaje profesional puede tener en dicho proceso, sus logros y sus desafíos.

Published: February 2025

Aim. To evaluate the impact of parental forms on phenotypic performance characteristics in the progeny of some Ukrainian potato varieties and lines, to determine the most profitable crossings in terms of breeding for higher yield and product quality. Methods. Field experiments, laboratory analysis, statistical methods. The study involved 973 clones obtained by 85 crossings using 15 potato varieties of ukrainian breeding. The parental material was produced in the laboratory of potato breeding at the Polissia Experimental Department of the Institute for Potato Research, the NAAS using sexual seed. Results. When female source material of the Ukrainian varieties Javelina, Mezhyrichka 11, Predslava, Sontsedar, Vyhoda, and Vzirets were used in crossings, yield increased by 4.1-6.1 t/ha as compared to parental forms. An increase in average tuber weight of 7-18 g in the progeny was obtained by using the varieties Alliance, Ivankivska rannia, Javelina, Mezhyrichka 11, Radomysl and Vzirets as female; this was 9-17 g for male material of varieties Alliance, Mezhyrichka 11, Opillia, Rostavytsia, Vyhoda and Vzirets. The progeny, obtained using Fanatka, Javelina, Mezhyrichka 11, Svitana, and Vyhoda as female, had a 1.5-3.2 % higher starch content compared to parental forms, this was 1.5-2.3 % for progeny of Alliance, Javelina, Mezhyrichka 11, Opillia, Rostavytsia, Sontsedar, Svitana, and Vyhoda used as male. The average score of consumption quality characteristics of the progeny exceeded parental forms only by 0.1-0.2 point, it was highest for progeny when using Fanatka, Mezhyrichka 11, Radomysl, Svitana and Vzirets as female, and Alliance, Bazhana and Javelina as male. A decrease of 0.1-0.3 points in consumption quality characteristics was obtained for male progeny of Bazhana, Mezhyrichka 11, Rostavytsia and Vzirets. Conclusions. It was confirmed that characteristics of parental forms played a decisive role in forming quantitative and qualitative traits, which was a more critical factor than their place in the crossing scheme. It was also found that the genotype of the maternal component had a considerable impact on the yield level in the progeny, which highlighted the relevance of the accurate selection of the maternal form. The best performance was observed in clones created using the varieties Alliance, Javelina, Mezhyrichka 11, Svitana, Vyhoda and Vzirets. This concerned yield, average tuber weight, starch content and consumption quality, which confirmed previously found regularities: high performance was positively correlated with tubers weight (r = 0.33-0.76), whereas it was negatively correlated with starch content (r=-0.59) and large tuber size (r = -0.45-0.67), the latter only in case of progeny obtained from maternal material.

Aim. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of different fertilizers and their aftereffects on the biometric and biochemical parameters of plants, the formation of yield, and the quality of beetroots. Methods. Field, statistical, calculation, analytical, and laboratory research methods were used in the study (dry matter (thermogravimetric method), total sugar (titration with red blood salt), ascorbic acid (according to Tillmans), nitrates (potentiometric method using nitrate-selective electrodes)). Results. The use of microbial preparations both separately and in the aftereffect of organic fertilizers led to an increase in the chlorophyll content in beetroot leaves (up to 7.36-9.14 mg/kg). The yield of table beetroots at the level of 52.6-57.6 t/ha is provided by mineral and organo-mineral fertilization systems, the aftereffect of 21 t/ha of manure, and a combination of organic fertilizers and microbial preparations. Using a complex of microbial preparations (Groundfix, Azotophyte, Organic Balance) to optimize the nutrition of beetroot plants increased the yield by 19 %. The values of most biochemical parameters in the products decreased with the increase in their yield. The use of high norms of mineral fertilizers or the localization of their administration conditioned the increase in the content of nitrates (1,490-2,349 mg/kg). With the increase in yield, a decrease in some biochemical parameters of beetroots (dry matter, total sugar, and ascorbic acid content) was observed. The use of high rates of mineral fertilizers or localization of their application led to an increase in the content of nitrates (1,490-2,349 mg/kg). Different fertilization systems for table beetroot provided the additional profit at the level of UAH 46.4-142.9 thousand/ha and the profitability of 42.6-69.6 % while reducing production costs to UAH 4.72-5.61 per one kg. Conclusions. The practical value of the research was determining the effect of different fertilization systems on a number of physiological processes and productivity of beetroot plants, the biochemical composition of root crops, and accumulation of nitrates in them, which allowed us to recommend the organo-mineral and biological fertilization systems with a complex of microbial preparations. In further research, it is important to establish the efficiency of alternative nutrition optimization systems with the combined use of humic and green manure fertilizers, and microbial preparations of various directions.
KATECHON
Authors: Perius Oneide
Published: February 2025

O Katechon, enigmática figura que aparece nas cartas paulinas, recolhe em si séculos de debate em torno das relações entre teologia e política. Conduz a uma sólida tradição hermenêutica em que é compreendido como poder instituído que freia a anomia e o caos, pondo assim a teologia como fundamento mantenedor das ordens políticas estabelecidas. Mas pode ser interpretado, também, como aquele conjunto de forças que ainda detém o advento do dia do Senhor, a parusia. Nesta perspectiva, consolidada pela tradição messiânica, não há acordo e nem sequer compromisso algum com a manutenção da ordem. A ruptura e a catástrofe são possibilidades de destruição de um mundo injusto. O presente artigo pretende reconstruir, ainda que brevemente, o percurso deste conceito na teologia e na filosofia política contemporâneas, especialmente a partir dos escritos de Paulo de Tarso, Carl Schmitt, Jacob Taubes e Giorgio Agamben.
Teatralidad contemplativa y rito iniciático: una reflexión en torno a la obra de Vacuum map
Authors: Sánchez Román Antonio

En este texto, se reflexiona sobre esta cuestión a partir de la práctica escénica de Vacuum map, utilizando los conceptos de teatralidad contemplativa y rito iniciático. Desarrollo: El trabajo sigue un itinerario de comprensión que puede sintetizarse de la siguiente manera: en primer lugar, se realiza una aproximación al contexto, ajustando los conceptos clave; en segundo lugar, se describe de manera detallada la obra Vacuum map; y finalmente, se concluye con una reflexión autoetnográfica que integra los dos apartados anteriores. Conclusión: Los resultados de esta reflexión permiten un acercamiento a las interacciones entre contemplación y ritualidad en una práctica artística contemporánea, presentando ambas como un modo de conocimiento capaz de transformar a la persona espectadora.
Para terminar con el juicio del canon
Authors: Salcido Miroslava
Published: February 2025

Introducción: Desde el carácter del manifiesto y en diálogo con otras escrituras, el siguiente texto postula la relación entre el pensamiento, la escritura, la Filosofía y el arte de las mujeres como ejes de lo que la autora llama la ‘vida como logro literario’. Desarrollo: Esta relación se entiende como una toma de postura con respecto a la norma teológica del canon como estrategia discursiva, proponiendo para la academia, a su vez, otro tipo de escritura en favor de los saberes del cuerpo y de la alteridad versus la otredad enemiga. Esta últuma es parte de un discurso patriarcal y colonialista que le ha negado a los devenires mujer su lugar, ya no solo en el arte, sino también en el discurso y la historia. Conclusión: El texto propone superar el juicio impuesto por el canon sobre la escritura de las mujeres y resalta la importancia de un intelecto feminista dentro de la academia.

A su vez, es considerado un dispositivo de control, reglamentación y ordenación que particularmente ha consolidado a la modernidad y nuestro presente. Así, el objetivo del presente ensayo gira en torno a interpretar el tiempo dentro de las dimensiones del séptimo arte, el fenómeno de la hiperconectividad y la construcción de mundos paralelos. Nuestra metodología se centrará en el análisis crítico del discurso y el campo de la semiótica. En cuanto a las reflexiones finales, planteamos un más allá de la huida hacia una política del instante y la importancia de un tiempo rítmico.
El Frente Independiente de Pueblos Indios y la reconceptualización de la categoría indígena en México. Una lectura desde el esencialismo estratégico
Authors: Rodríguez Soriano Roberto Israel
Published: February 2025

La categoría “indígena” ha sido una construcción histórica y política destinada a controlar grupos culturalmente diversos en términos de dominación política y económica, marcando diferencias con las culturas europeas y occidentales. A pesar de su esencialización para propósitos de dominación, los grupos indígenas han adoptado esta etiqueta de manera estratégica como forma de resistencia, adaptándose a los ataques históricos impuestos a sus identidades por grupos hegemónicos. En este artículo, se exploran estos procesos utilizando la idea del esencialismo estratégico de Gayatri Spivak, que evidencia cómo los grupos indígenas han utilizado estratégicamente la esencialización categorial como una forma efectiva de resistencia. Se abordará el caso específico del Frente Independiente de Pueblos Indios a finales del siglo XX, uno de los primeros movimientos indígenas en México que utilizó la categoría para aglutinar la demanda colectiva de diversos pueblos en defensa de sus modos de vida y sus medios de subsistencia tradicionales.
Del carácter mágico del habla al texto de la escritura: facultad mimética y lectura profana en Walter Benjamin
Authors: García Elizondo Eduardo
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo se propone analizar la intersección entre habla (Sprache), escritura y lectura en escritos de tipo retórico-teológicos y retórico-estéticos de Walter Benjamin. Con ese propósito, mediante una vía de interpretación expositiva, se abordará cómo se elabora la concepción benjaminiana del carácter mágico del habla en cuanto tal, en vinculación con el estatuto profano de la lectura y con la escritura surrealista concebida mediante el trasfondo de una interpretación retórico-materialista de la facultad mimética. A partir de la exposición de estas diferentes articulaciones, se arribará a las consideraciones finales de que la escritura surrealista se presenta como una forma estética primordial para pensar la crítica al ideal analógico-proporcional de la tropología clasicista y el materialismo antropológico del discurso de la crítica benjaminiana.

Published: February 2025

Esta investigación busca indagar en el desarrollo de actitudes ambientales en estudiantes de primaria de una comuna de Chile Central (Curicó). Para ello, se realizó un estudio comparativo entre dos escuelas, una con una certificación ambiental otorgada por el Ministerio del Medio Ambiente (MMA) y otra sin dicha certificación. Para recabar la información se utilizaron dos instrumentos: el dibujo identitario y una escala tipo Likert. De ambos colegios participaron estudiantes de primero a sexto básico. La muestra del establecimiento A fue de 253 estudiantes, mientras que la del establecimiento B fue de 448 estudiantes. En los resultados obtenidos, no se presentan mayores variaciones en las actitudes afectivas, activas y cognitivas entre el estudiantado, y se establece que se estarían cambiando algunas dimensiones en términos de actitudes proambientales. Sin embargo, el estudio no puede asegurar si dichas actitudes están siendo gatilladas por objetivos propios de una certificación ambiental estatal o acciones formativas de un currículum oficial u oculto cada vez más ambientalizado.
El trabajo forzoso y el reparto obligado de mercancías en el territorio del gobierno de las fronteras de San Luis de Colotlán durante el siglo XVII y pasajes del XVIII
Authors: Rojas Galván José
Published: February 2025

El trabajo forzoso y el repartimiento de mercancías fueron dos prácticas comúnmente realizadas por autoridades del virreinato de la Nueva España, pese a estar prohibidas por la legislación española. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el papel que desempeñaron los funcionarios reales y los militares en el fomento y ejecución de dichas prácticas en el Gobierno de San Luis de Colotlán, que se localizaba en la región noroeste de la Nueva Galicia. El método utilizado es el de la reconstrucción histórica, el cual parte de la crítica de fuentes de primera mano para lograr recrear los sucesos del pasado, las cuales provienen de archivos de España y México. Los resultados muestran que, a pesar de la prohibición de dichas prácticas, empleados de la Corona española buscaron obtener ingresos extras a sus cargos para enriquecerse o asegurar el sustento mismo mediante la imposición violenta del trabajo forzoso y el reparto obligado de mercancías a los grupos indígenas del territorio de Colotlán, aunque no sin resistencia, pues, en más de una ocasión, se generaron querellas en diferentes niveles y con distintos resultados.

Authors: Arias Orozco Grettel Mariana , Vargas Valverde Lorriane Mayreth
Published: February 2025

En el presente artículo se describe cómo el protagonista de la novela Cocorí se convierte en un héroe exitoso de acuerdo con la teoría propuesta por Joseph Campbell. Para esto, primero se analiza cuál ha sido el abordaje de la obra en el contexto costarricense; en un segundo momento, se procede a establecer algunos conceptos teóricos básicos para el análisis del texto, tales como el de héroe, las etapas que implica el viaje del héroe, así como algunos símbolos que terminan de concretar la propuesta en estudio. Finalmente, se llega a un tercer momento en el cual, después de analizar el recorrido del personaje en la obra, se concluye que efectivamente este niño, de forma inconsciente, se configura como un héroe popular. Si bien es cierto que no posee atributos divinos, cumple con todas las etapas y requisitos para convertirse en héroe folclórico costarricense, quien regresa victorioso de sus aventuras como un ser nuevo para compartir con el resto de los suyos su nueva sabiduría.
La iconografía del poeta en los dibujos de Mane Bernardo
Authors: Pedroni Juan Cruz
Published: February 2025

Este artículo analiza un aspecto de las relaciones entre imágenes y cultura escrita en los libros ilustrados por la pintora, titiritera y poeta argentina Magdalena “Mane” Bernardo entre los años 40 y 50 del siglo XX. A partir del trabajo con archivos personales, de la reconstrucción de vínculos literarios y culturales en las historias de vida y del análisis bibliográfico, el texto se propone indagar en las modulaciones que adquiere la iconografía del poeta en los dibujos realizados por Bernardo para libros de edición argentina. En particular, se analizan las modalidades en las que estas imágenes intervienen en la transmisión de representaciones en torno a la cultura escrita y la literatura a través de continuidades e inflexiones. Para ello se recurre a los aportes de una lectura indiciaria junto a las contribuciones ineludibles de la historia del libro y la historia de las representaciones.
Filosofía común para tiempos de crisis socioambiental: pensar, sentir y tramar de otro modo
Authors: Araiza Díaz Verónica
Published: February 2025

Este ensayo tiene como objetivo reivindicar el papel de la Filosofía como acto de pensar cotidiano, como un atributo común a todos los seres humanos, que ha sido bloqueado por el sistema capitalista, principalmente en su fase neoliberal, la cual coincide con una crisis socioambiental amplia y compleja, y frente a la cual se hace necesario, precisamente, activar un pensamiento colectivo que nos permita recomponer el tejido social y proyectar un futuro más vivible y sostenible para los humanos y para los otros seres vivos. Se concluye que el pensamiento tiene que ver con la capacidad de atención en dos sentidos: contemplar y cuidar, por lo que no es un atributo de seres especiales, sino de todos los humanos en tanto seres deseantes y en tiempos apocalípticos es una necesidad vital, pues la falta de atención que caracteriza nuestro presente pone en riesgo toda la vida en el planeta.
Tatuajes y duelo: narrativas de adultos de la ciudad de Talca, Chile
Authors: Cifuentes-Muñoz Alejandro , Cifuentes-Gajardo Bárbara
Published: February 2025

El duelo es una experiencia frecuente, subjetiva y dolorosa que surge producto de la pérdida de algo o alguien significativo. En tal contexto, el tatuaje se ha ido configurando como un medio útil para afrontar este sufrimiento humano. Esta investigación tiene por objetivo analizar las narrativas del proceso que conlleva tatuarse en un contexto de duelo en adultos de la ciudad de Talca, Chile. Para alcanzar tal objetivo se realiza una investigación cualitativa de aproximación hermenéutico-fenomenológica mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a diez mujeres adultas. Los datos fueron procesados mediante un análisis cualitativo de contenido con categorización emergente. Los resultados se agruparon en cuatro grandes narrativas: (1) motivaciones para tatuarse, (2) significados simbólicos asociados al proceso, (3) el rol terapéutico del tatuaje, y (4) las consecuencias de tatuarse. Se concluye que la motivación para tatuarse radicó principalmente en contar con experiencias previas de tatuaje y en la naturaleza del vínculo con quien había fallecido. Además, el tatuaje cumplió una función terapéutica, permitiendo afrontar y elaborar la pérdida, y facilitando la liberación emocional al momento de tatuarse.

Is It Real Enough? A Mixed-Methods Study of Realism, Engagement and Counterargument in Transmedia Edutainment for Sustainable Behaviors
Authors: Shata Aya , Seelig Michelle
Published: February 2025

Advancements in technology have driven media convergence, paving the way for innovative storytelling formats like Transmedia Edutainment (TE-E), a new promising strategy for advocating prosocial behaviors. However, there is limited research on narrative processing and the persuasive outcomes of TE-E, particularly in environmental contexts. Therefore, this paper examines TE-E as a new communication strategy that leverages storytelling across multiple platforms to promote pro-environmental messaging. Drawing on entertainment-education literature and narrative persuasion theories, specifically the narrative engagement model and perceived realism as theoretical frameworks in this study, to help understand the role and influence of TE-E. Using a mixed-method design, five focus group discussions were conducted with college students to gain deeper insights into their attitudes and impressions towards TE-E. Additionally, an online experiment with (N=441) college students examined the role of perceived realism, narrative engagement, and counterargument, as message mechanisms responsible for promoting pro-environmental behaviors. Thematic analysis of the focus groups discussions revealed two emerging themes: (1) “The triple R effect of TE-E” and (2) “Is it real enough?” The experiment shows that the counterargument plays a key role in understanding and shaping the message mechanisms of TE-E. Results found that TE-E successfully encourage adopting sustainable behaviors and directly reduces counterarguments. However, it had slightly lower perceived realism compared to the video, leading to reduced narrative engagement. Overall, this paper contributes to the expanding literature on TE-E within the context of environmental communication. Practical implications for message development and environmental advocacy are also discussed.

Published: February 2025

Abstract This work aimed to develop biodegradable films from yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa) peel flour. The Central Composite Rotational Design was used in a total of 11 tests, in which the independent variables were the concentrations of starch and glycerol, characterized with regard to physical, mechanical and barrier properties. The films were classified as soluble and showed low permeability to water vapor. The tensile strength, elastic modulus and deformation rate were directly related to the concentration of starch and glycerol. The film of test 7 had the best characterization results; therefore, it was analyzed for biodegradability. As for biodegradability, the film obtained an average mass loss of 92.77 ± 4.28%, being a great alternative to the use of non-biodegradable polymers. The films showed acceptable degree of plasticization, which was favored by intermolecular interactions between the components of the flour, starch and glycerol.

Abstract Objectives: To assess patient and tumor characteristics and treatment outcomes, focusing on local recurrence rates based on treatment type. Methods: This is a retrospective review of cases of GCTB of the distal radius, identified from the databases of 74 patients in Brazilian institutions specializing in musculoskeletal tumor treatment. Data were collected from electronic and paper medical records by 18 centers between 1989 and 2021. Variables included demographic data, clinical presentation, treatment-related factors, and primary outcome (local recurrence rate). Results: Among the 74 patients in the study, the mean age at diagnosis was 32.6 years, with a slight female predominance. Pathological fractures on presentation were observed in 15.7% of patients, and pulmonary metastasis in 1.4%. Treatment approaches were divided equally between intralesional curettage and en bloc resection. The overall local recurrence rate was 25.7% and was higher in patients treated with intralesional curettage (35.1%) compared to resection (16.2%). Conclusions: The study confirms high recurrence risk with intralesional curettage, emphasizing the need for standardized protocols and improved surgical techniques to reduce recurrence rates and enhance outcomes for distal radius GCTB patients.

Durability of high-performance concrete at high temperatures: effects of water-binder ratios and use of silica fume
Authors: Kandaswamy Srinivasan , Sundaram Hemavathi , Rajamanickam Sivarethinamohan , Rajendran Yuvaraja
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT This work examines the impact of altering the water-binder ratios (w/b) and cement/silica fume (SF) replacements on the strength at the compression of High-Performance Concrete (HPC), both before and during prolonged contact with extreme temperature. After preparation and testing, eighteen mixtures were produced. Based on the variation in weight/bulk density, the compressive strength test results at room temperature varied from 58 to 102 MPa. In addition, a novel technique known as “heat endurance” has been implemented to compare HPC responses at high temperatures. The findings demonstrate that pozzolanic interaction with the fillers component of SF improves HPC’s residual compressive strength following exposure to high temperatures. Comparative measurements of retained strength of compression were greatest for blends containing 6%, 12%, and 15% of SF at w/b ratios of 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40. As a consequence, altering the w/b ratio had a substantial impact on the outcomes. Lastly, a variety of measuring methods were offered to assist with the study, such as CT, SEM, and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis to evaluate the microstructure modification, porosity, and mass loss of HPC.

Objetivo analisar a situação vacinal de pessoas com diabetes mellitus tipos 1 e 2 na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Método estudo transversal, analítico, realizado em 25 equipes de Saúde da Família com 274 pessoas com diabetes. Foram avaliadas as variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas e esquema vacinal completo para cada vacina recomendada pelo Programa Nacional de Imunizações, por meio de análise bivariada e regressão logística. Resultados das pessoas com diabetes mellitus, 69,1% não tinham esquema vacinal completo contra hepatite B; 64,6%, contra difteria e tétano; 74,3%, contra febre amarela; 87,9%, contra pneumococo; 87,9%, contra varicela; 24,5%, contra influenza; e 0,7%, contra a covid-19. Entre os motivos referidos para o esquema incompleto, estão não conhecer a importância de vacinar e não ser informado por profissional de saúde. Houve associação estatística significativa entre o perfil sociodemográfico e clínico em relação ao esquema vacinal completo da vacina da influenza e a idade e renda; covid-19 e idade, tipo de diabetes e tempo convivendo com o diabetes. Conclusão pessoas com diabetes mellitus tipos 1 e 2 apresentaram baixa completude vacinal no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde, o que é preocupante devido à situação de maior vulnerabilidade a infecções imunopreveníveis e mortalidade nesse grupo.

Objective: to analyze the relationship between the exercise of authentic leadership by coordinators and job satisfaction among professors of undergraduate nursing courses at federal public universities. Method: this is a quantitative study with an observational, analytical, and cross-sectional design. Twelve undergraduate nursing courses at public higher education institutions were chosen to participate in the study. The information collected was analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques, Spearman’s correlation test, and binary logistic regression analysis, with a 5% significance level. Results: the sample consisted of 179 professors who completed the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, and the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. The professors rated the course coordinators as having high levels of authentic leadership practice. As for the binary logistic regression, only the Relational and Moral domain showed significance (p-value < 0.0001), indicating that when this domain is present, there is a 5.48-fold increase in the chance of professors being satisfied. Conclusion: the results of the study indicate that the job satisfaction of professors in undergraduate nursing courses is influenced by the practice of authentic leadership on the part of the coordinators.

Objective: to map the scientific literature on the clinical and demographic characteristics of Long COVID-19. Method: this is a scoping review based on the principles recommended by the JBI and the PRISMA guidelines for data extraction, carried out on four databases. The PCC strategy was used for data collection, and the results were described and diagrammed. The studies were selected after removing duplicates, individual and peer review. Results: an analysis of the 13 articles selected showed that Long COVID affects all age groups and people of both sexes, presenting a multiplicity of symptoms, such as fatigue (61.5%), dyspnea (46.1%), changes in smell and/or taste (38.6%), anxiety (15.3%) and cognitive impairment (30.7%). Females were found to be at increased risk of developing Long COVID. Conclusion: identifying the symptoms prevalent in Long COVID contributes to public health strategies for diagnosing and assisting people affected by the disease. Future studies are recommended on the approach to the persistence of symptoms in Long COVID and the relationship between adherence to the vaccination schedule against COVID-19, gender, race/ethnicity, degree of susceptibility in the different age groups, level of education and income, as well as the most recurrent comorbidities in the population

Abstract Several herpetofaunal inventories have been conducted in the Neotropical region. However, many areas remain to be investigated, and this is particularly true of transition zones between distinct ecoregions. Herein we describe the richness, species composition, and abundance of herpetofauna from a scarcely known portion of the Brazilian Cerrado and assess the taxonomic similarities of the assemblages among the sampled habitats and between neighbouring ecoregions. A mid-term herpetological inventory was conducted from May 2009 to January 2011 at Serra das Araras Ecological Station (SAES) using pitfall traps with drift fences in five distinct forested and open habitats. In these and in additional habitats, visual and acoustic searches and occasional encounters were also used to access the local composition of the herpetofauna, together with literature data and examination of specimens deposited in collections. We also compared the species composition at SAES on a regional scale with those of other 29 localities previously studied in nine South American ecoregions. We documented 123 species at the SAES (39 amphibians and 84 reptiles), 112 of which were recorded during the field inventory. Richness was highest in riparian forests and lowest in semi-deciduous dry forest and cerrado woodland. Riparian forests also presented the highest number of exclusive species, while only one exclusive species was found in cerrado woodland. Cerrado sensu stricto and cerrado parkland contained 53 and 40 species, including seven and 10 exclusive species, respectively, and showed greater similarity than the sampled forested habitats. In comparison to other localities in the Cerrado (including transition zones), SAES is home to one of the most diverse assemblages of herpetofauna. This may be attributed to continued sampling efforts and to the marked environmental heterogeneity resulting from the topographic profile and confluence of several ecoregions. Amphibian species composition at SAES is more similar to a nearby locality also studied in the Cerrado and to Chiquitano Dry Forest assemblages, while the reptile species composition is nested among the assemblages studied in the Cerrado. Our findings indicate that the herpetofauna of SAES is rich and representative of the regional biodiversity, with species composition evidencing its transitional character.
