Authors: Parente Cláudia da Mota Darós 
Published: November 2021

Nesta exposição, apresentamos algumas reflexões e proposições relativas à educação integral, à educação em tempo integral e à ampliação de oportunidades educativas, sobretudo a crianças, adolescentes e jovens em idade de escolarização obrigatória. Com isso, desejamos mobilizar e potencializar novos e contínuos movimentos e diálogos que contribuam para a formação humana com maior integralidade. Para isso, selecionamos alguns elementos principais advindos de minhas investigações realizadas nos últimos anos no campo de análise de políticas públicas e sobre políticas de educação integral em tempo integral. Inicialmente, discorremos sobre a concepção de educação (integral) e sobre alguns aspectos do processo de constituição da política pública. A partir disso, apresentamos dois desenhos de políticas públicas coexistentes: políticas de educação em tempo integral e políticas de ampliação de oportunidades educativas a crianças, adolescentes e jovens. No horizonte, almejamos avanços na promoção de mais e melhores condições formativas que corroborem a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e humana.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe clinical signs, treatment, and outcome for California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) with Sarcocystis-associated polyphasic rhabdomyositis.

ANIMALS
38 free-ranging juvenile to adult California sea lions examined at a rehabilitation center in California between September 2015 and December 2017.

PROCEDURES
Medical records at The Marine Mammal Center were reviewed to identify sea lions in which sarcocystosis had been diagnosed.

RESULTS
Clinical signs were highly variable and associated with polyphasic rhabdomyositis attributed to Sarcocystis neurona infection. Generalized severe muscle wasting, respiratory compromise, and regurgitation secondary to megaesophagus were the most profound clinical findings. Respiratory compromise and megaesophagus were associated with a poor prognosis. Eight of the 38 sea lions were treated and released to the wild, and 2 subsequently restranded and were euthanized. Two additional animals received no targeted treatment and were released. The remaining 28 animals were either euthanized or died during treatment.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results suggested that unlike other marine mammals, which typically develop encephalitis, California sea lions with sarcocystosis often have polyphasic rhabdomyositis with highly variable clinical signs and that extensive diagnostic testing may be required to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment with an antiprotozoal drug in combination with corticosteroids may resolve clinical disease, but the prognosis is guarded.
Population-level analysis of antibiotic use and death rates in beef feedlots over ten years in three cattle-feeding regions of the United States
Authors: Rutten-Ramos Stephanie C. , Simjee Shabbir , Calvo-Lorenzo Michelle S. , Bargen Jason L. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To assess antibiotic use and other factors associated with death rates in beef feedlots in 3 regions of the US over a 10-year period.

SAMPLE
Data for 186,297 lots (groups) of finished cattle marketed between 2010 and 2019 were obtained from a database representing feedlots in the central, high, and north plains of the US.

PROCEDURES
Descriptive statistics were generated. Generalized linear mixed models were used to estimate lot death rates for each region, sex (steer or heifer), and cattle origin (Mexico or the US) combination. Death rate was calculated as the (number of deaths/number of cattle placed in the lot) × 100. Lot antibiotic use (TotalActiveMG/KGOut) was calculated as the total milligrams of active antibiotics assigned to the lot per live weight (in kilograms) of cattle marketed from the lot. Rate ratios were calculated to evaluate the respective associations between lot death rate and characteristics of cattle and antibiotic use.

RESULTS
Mean death rate increased during the 10-year period, peaking in 2018. Mean number of days on feed also increased over time. Mean TotalActiveMG/KGOut was greatest in 2014 and 2015, lowest in 2017, and moderated in 2018 and 2019. Death rate was positively associated with the number of days on feed and had a nonlinear association with TotalActiveMG/KGOut. Feeding medicated feed articles mitigated death rate.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results suggested a balance between disease prevention and control in feedlots for cattle with various risk profiles. Additional data sources are needed to assess TotalActiveMG/KGOut across the cattle lifetime.
Combination of end-to-end jejuno-ileal anastomosis and side-to-side incomplete ileocecal bypass (hybrid jejuno-ileo-cecal anastomosis) following subtotal ileal resection in seven horses
Authors: Gandini Marco , Giusto Gessica 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

CASE DESCRIPTION
7 horses (3 geldings, 2 mares, and 2 stallions) were examined because of acute colic caused by small intestinal obstruction involving the aborad portion of the jejunum and orad portion of the ileum.

CLINICAL FINDINGS
All horses underwent a routine colic examination on arrival and had a diagnosis of strangulating obstruction of the small intestine.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
All horses underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy, in which the affected aborad portion of the jejunum and orad portion of the ileum were resected; in 5 horses, a hand-sewn end-to-end jejuno-ileal anastomosis was combined with a hand-sewn incomplete ileocecal bypass to produce a hybrid jejuno-ileo-cecal anastomosis. In 2 horses, the hand-sewn end-to-end jejuno-ileal anastomosis was combined with a half-stapled, half–hand-sewn incomplete ileocecal bypass. The procedures restored continuity of the small intestine with partial bypass of the ileocecal valve. All horses survived to hospital discharge, and none developed colic or ileus during the postoperative period. Follow-up revealed that 6 horses were living and had no subsequent signs of colic (4 to 17 months after surgery), and 1 was euthanized because of colic 17 months after surgery.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results for these horses suggested the hybrid jejuno-ileo-cecal anastomosis could be considered as an option for the resolution of small intestinal strangulating lesions involving the orad portion of the ileum. Studies are needed to assess short-term and long-term effects of the procedure in horses.
Thiol Compounds, Pre-Conditioning and Orientation of Explants – Important Factors Affecting Regeneration from Cotyledons of Legume Crop Sesbania Aculeata
Authors: Mehta Nikhil , Rao Priyanka , Saini Raman 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

Sesbania aculeata is a multipurpose legume crop grown primarily for green manuring in the rice-based cropping system. Besides this, it is an industrial crop and is also used as food in many parts of the world. The present work reports for optimization of various parameters (growth medium, plant growth regulators, pre-conditioning, orientation of explant, and presence of thiol compounds) affecting in vitro regeneration using mature cotyledon explants. The 5-day-old mature cotyledon explants excised from seedlings grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) salts and Gamborg (B5) vitamins medium containing 15 μM 6-benzylaminopurine were cultured with its adaxial side facing on medium containing 2.5 μM 6-benzylaminopurine and 50 mg/L thiourea and produced multiple shoots (7 ‒ 8) in 100% cultures within 28 days. Healthy shoots were rooted on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) salts and full-strength vitamins medium augmented with 2.5 μM indole-3-butyric acid.
Nonparametric Methods in the Analysis of the Quality of Kernel of Selected Winter Wheat Cultivars
Authors: Ćwiklińska Magdalena , Hanusz Zofia , Soja Jakub , Polak Renata 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The paper presents a statistical analysis of weight and diameter of kernel obtained for eight investigated winter wheat cultivars. Preliminary analyses of experimental results, such as compliance with a normal distribution, equality of variance for particular cultivars, and occurrence of outliers proved that there is no justification for the use of a traditional one-way analysis of variance for verification of hypotheses according to which weight and diameter of grains of the investigated winter wheat cultivars do not differ. A nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used for verification of hypotheses which based on the experimental results enabled to reject both hypotheses. Further, simultaneous average weight and diameters of grain of the investigated cultivars were compared with the use of Nemenyi-Dunn test. The applied test enabled to conclude which cultivars had a significantly higher weight than the others. Analogous comparisons were carried out for the diameter of kernels of the investigated winter wheat cultivars.
Quality of Life in Patients Rehabilitated with Implant-Supported Prostheses – A Systematic Review
Authors: Lixandru Cosmin Ionuţ , Domnariu Carmen Daniela 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Oral health-related quality of life can be defined as the perception of the impact that oral health has on the quality of life. The quality of life is characterized by a person’s perception of his/her social status and the activities he/she carries out in daily life, in relation to his/her standards, objectives, concerns and expectations, as well as the system of values and cultural conditions within he/she lives in. Objective: The objective of this study was to systematically review the dental literature to identify and classify relevant articles on the quality of life associated with the oral health of patients rehabilitated with implant-supported prostheses. Materials and methods: A systematic search of the literature on PubMed was performed for articles published between 2000 and 2021. The main method used was the electronic search using keywords such as: “quality of life”, “dental implant”. The articles found were subject to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Following a systematic search, a total of 249 publications were identified, of which only 9 met the inclusion criteria. Discussions: A small number of studies were found to meet the inclusion criteria and to present high levels of evidence. Therefore, more research in the field is recommended, as current research on quality of life in patients rehabilitated with implant-supported prostheses is still in the development phase. Conclusions: The quality of oral health could have an impact on patients’ daily lives and dental satisfaction (satisfaction with dental appearance, pain perception levels, oral comfort, functional performance and chewing capacity). Patients’ satisfaction with their dentition has a definite impact on the quality of daily life and perceptions of oral health.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of more than one year of COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life and mental health (in terms of depression, anxiety, stress, fear, burnout – workload) among Frontline Health Care Workers (HCWs). Subjects and methods: This is a cross-sectional survey based on 1,479 frontline HCW participants aged 20-65 years in Turkey who completed a survey including the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21), Burnout, Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), and WHO (World Health Organization) Quality of Life instruments during March-July 2021. Bivariate, factorial and multivariate statistical analyses were performed. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between three frontline groups of HCWs (Physicians, Nurses, Others) including: age (p<0.001), gender (p<0.001), educational level (p<0.001), income (p<0.001), number of calls per week (p<0.001). There were significantly high scores of fear of COVID-19 for all items among physicians. The findings also showed that the prevalence of depression (p=0.002), anxiety (p<0.001), and stress (p<10.005) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (p=0.011) were significantly different among the three groups of frontline HCWs. The work-related burnout was over 30% in general. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure was 0.840 and indicated that the data of the study were suitable for a factor analysis. The factor analysis found out three factors with eigenvalue greater than one. These factors were consistent with the original scale. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed anxiety (p<0.001), stress(p<0.001), fear of COVID-19 and Burnout (p=0.008), depression (p=0.004), lack of sleeping- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (p=0.014) and feeling exhausted (p=0.025) were associated with the quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic after adjusting for the age and gender. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that fear and burnout related to COVID-19 were significantly associated with high scores of depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout after one year of pandemic among frontline-HCWs, with poor quality of life and sleep.
Annual Report on the Evaluation of Patient Satisfaction at a Pneumophthisiology Hospital
Authors: Frâncu Violeta 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Patients realize how care was provided, but it is difficult for them to know when expectations were reasonable or when unwanted outcomes were caused by inadequate care or special circumstances. Research in the field shows that satisfaction is related to the perception of technical skills, intelligence and qualification of medical staff, but, in general, the perception of interpersonal communication skills of medical staff is more important. A number of studies have shown that patients tend to be more satisfied with the care provided if the behaviour of the service provider (doctor, nurse, etc.) “conforms” their expectations. Communication skills, empathy, the care offered, attention to personal issues influences how a patient will evaluate the care received.(1,2,3)

Abstract
Schizophrenic patients have a life expectancy shorter than that of the general population. The multisystemic implication of the psychotic disease is evidenced by the high prevalence of somatic comorbidities associated with the illness. Patients with schizophrenia have a higher risk to develop somatic comorbidities due to their lifestyle changes, medication intake and poor medical assistance. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study in order to determine the prevalence of certain somatic conditions associated with schizophrenia as well as the characteristics of this particular group of patients.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Septic cardiomyopathy remains a difficult medical problem to manage in critically ill patients. With all currently available therapeutic options, the mortality rate in these patients remains high. Our study included 29 patients diagnosed clinically with sepsis. A control group was used to compare the results. In all patients, p53 expression was assessed in cardiac tissue obtained from these patients and a statistical correlation was made with clinical data. The different expression rates of p53 do not correlate with patient’s age, having appropriate means in years, but with an increasing tendency with increasing expression (p=0.2110). The pulmonary infections are responsible for the majority of the septic state in the study group (over 55%). The difference between the infection sites is statistically significant (p<0.0001).
Medulloblastoma in Adulthood
Authors: Horşia Dragoş 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Defined as a tumour with increased malignancy potential in childhood, medulloblastoma was first reported in the literature by Percival Bailey and Harvey Cushing in 1925. Scientific studies over the years have shown that this type of tumour represents about 20% of all intracranial tumours encountered in childhood, their percentage decreasing with advancing age. The genetic factor plays an important part in the appearance of medulloblastoma; there are certain diseases, in the patient’s history, that can be associated with this type of tumour. Here, we can specify Turcot syndrome (an autosomal recessive disease, rarely encountered) or basal cell carcinoma syndrome. This article presents the case of a young patient (41-year-old) suffering from a cerebellar tumour formation that turned out to be, after histopathological examination, a medulloblastoma. In practice we can find several types of medulloblastoma (desmoplastic or nodular, anaplastic, classical or undifferentiated). In what follows I will try to highlight a few aspects of a classic medulloblastoma.
Lada or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - A Challenging Diagnosis in Clinical Approach

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a frequently encountered condition in medical practice. It should be suspected in patients where the type of the diabetes mellitus is not certain. LADA consists of features from both type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), being a condition which is often unnoticed. Considered as type 1.5 diabetes mellitus, the lack of insulin requirement at disease onset makes it initially to be included in T2DM in terms of therapeutic management. The improvement of the screening methods allows the detection of LADA at an early stage, therefore medical intervention should be effective in preserving beta-cell function and to delay the progression of the disease.
Allostatic Load and Children’s Disease
Authors: Mătăcuţă-Bogdan Ioana 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Allostatic (over)load appears to be a substantial cause of morbidity for adults. For children, new aspects emerge. They are particularly significant for their repercussions in childhood and adult life: obesity, metabolic syndrome, arterial hypertension, insulin resistance, or eating disorder. It is desirable to identify clusters relevant for certain diseases to prevent long-time and irreversible consequences of allostatic load.

Abstract
Post and core devices are elements that contribute to the complete restoration of the coronary abutment, over which the final prosthetic restoration will be created. Their role is to retain the coronary portion of the restoration and to protect the remaining coronary structures. The retention function is dictated by the major indication of the method, massive coronary destruction that does not provide conditions for coronary aggregation of the restoration. Thus, this material is approaching two unique methods of making post and core devices totally metallic and/or hybrid (metal + totally ceramic component), using both classical technology, modern technologies, but also combinations of them.
Persistence and Predictive Ability of Earnings: Evidence from France and the UK
Authors: Kimouche Bilal 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The persistence and predictive ability are extensively requested as desirable attributes of earnings quality in the literature. The paper aims at investigating the persistence and predictive ability of earnings in French and UK companies. The study included a panel data of 1035 firm-year observations for 115 French listed companies from the CAC All-Tradable and 900 firm-year observations for 100 UK listed companies from the FTSE All-Share, during the period of 2011–2019. The research design was based on two equations starting from Sloan (1996) that were estimated using Fixed Effects Method. The study showed that earnings were persistent but they had no predictive ability regarding the future cash flows whether in French or UK companies and that earnings of UK companies were more persistent than those of the French companies. We argue that the persistence of earnings and the inability to predict future cash flows can be evidence of earnings management. The study contributes to the literature about earnings quality by studying earnings persistence and earnings predictive ability together in two different environments. The results require that users must take into consideration the illusory persistence of earnings, auditors must be cautious regarding the manipulation of earnings by managers, and accounting standard setters must review the reporting guidelines of cash flows to enhance their predictability by earnings.
Becoming a Consultant
Authors: Biggs David M 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
A number of different authors have highlighted the need for postgraduate students to be work ready for a career in consulting. This paper examines a cohort of 21 MSc students from a UK-based University and how they addressed this issue through an assignment geared up towards this aim. The completed assessments ranged in terms of the strategies the students used to assess their development needs for a career in consultancy. Strategies used consisted of: competency analysis, SWOT analysis, psychometric tests, use of the British Psychological Society consultancy cycle (from the Qualification in Occupational Psychology) and use of consultancy cycles from other sources. Interestingly there was a lack of consistency between students in terms of what strategies they chose to be future consultants. This research is useful because it systematically demonstrates which strategies may be used by postgraduates to identify the skills and behaviours they need for a consultancy career.
