A etnociência investiga a origem das atitudes e relações humanas com o ambiente. Nesse contexto, a etnozoologia estuda o conhecimento tradicional do homem sobre os animais. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo obter informações sobre o conhecimento tradicional dos moradores da comunidade de Paracari (Monte Alegre, Pará, Brasil) acerca das serpentes, questionando sobre como eles denominam, caracterizam e lidam com esses animais e com os possíveis acidentes. Para isso, durante três campanhas efetuadas nos meses de novembro e dezembro de 2015, questionários contendo tópicos previamente selecionados foram aplicados a 42 moradores selecionados aleatoriamente e que se dispuseram a contribuir. Destes, 95,23% alegaram já terem tido contato com serpentes e, com relação à hostilidade, 59,53% afirmaram matar a serpente independente da espécie. Quanto à ocorrência de acidentes ofídicos no ciclo familiar, 61,90% dos entrevistados confirmaram tal ocorrência, mas apenas 38,46% procuraram atendimento médico. O tratamento de origem popular mais comumente mencionado no caso de picada de cobra foi um extrato de planta artesanal chamado "Pau-X", fabricado, engarrafado e vendido livremente na região. Apenas Eunectes murinus, Lachesis muta e Crotalus durissus foram corretamente identificadas e caracterizadas pelos moradores. Algumas espécies foram identificadas corretamente, mas, em várias ocasiões, foram caracterizadas incorretamente como venenosas ou não. Todos os entrevistados confirmaram nunca ter tido acesso a informações ou participado de práticas educativo-ambientais sobre serpentes, o que pode contribuir diretamente para o uso de práticas inadequadas na identificação das espécies e no tratamento de acidentes ofídicos.
IYÁ MI OXORONGÁ: OLHARES SAGRADOS DO FEMININO NO CANDOMBLÉ
Authors: Barros Ana Angélica Monteiro de , Azevedo Vitor Amorim Moreira de 
Published: June 2021

A figura feminina detém uma força misteriosa que provoca, até os dias de hoje, fascínio e medo, características que estão intrinsecamente associadas às Iyá Mi Oxorongá, que são divindades que chegaram ao Brasil por meio da diáspora espiritual africana. Neste trabalho, pretende-se estabelecer a relação do culto das Iyá Mi com o matriarcado e o poder feminino no candomblé, buscando compreender o papel social e sagrado das sacerdotisas nos espaços religiosos, além de ratificar o protagonismo feminino nessa religião afro-brasileira. A abordagem qualitativa foi adotada para se discutir os mitos cosmogônicos de criação do mundo e da humanidade através das divindades Odudua e Obatalá. O referencial teórico se baseou na literatura especializada de livros e artigos buscados nas bases Google Scholar e SciElo. Essa análise foi complementada com a interpretação do mito que consta no primeiro verso do itan 204 do livro a “A Mitologia dos Orixás” de Reginaldo Prandi, que apresenta o arquétipo feminino das Iyá Mi Oxorongá, as Feiticeiras Ancestrais associadas à Odudua, a grande Mãe da Criação, e ao poder matriarcal das sacerdotisas do candomblé. Uma das versões do mito cosmogônico apresenta Odudua como a responsável por gestar o mundo usando a Igbá-Odu, a cabaça da existência, e a Obatalá de fazer surgir a humanidade. O culto a essas divindades é praticado no candomblé, onde Odudua está relacionada à ancestralidade feminina e a sua capacidade em gerenciar a vida e a morte. A análise desse mito permitiu mostrar essa simbologia vivenciada pelas Iyalorixás, mulheres que se destacam por assumir sua fé para manter unidos os elos das comunidades religiosas, que são espaços de resistência diante de uma sociedade culturalmente ocidentalizada e patriarcal. O mito das Iyá Mi está intimamente conectado a essa questão, ressaltando o olhar sagrado do poder feminino relacionado à condição de ser mulher.
“CANTA HOMEM, CANTA MULHER E A SEREIA CANTA NO MAR” : UMA EXPERIÊNCIA DE TRABALHO DE CAMPO COMPARTILHADA
Authors: Almeida Simone Lopes de 
Published: June 2021

Atravessei por diversas vezes o Semiárido alagoano, do Agreste ao Alto Sertão, onde está o grupo indígena Kalankó. Essa jornada às terras quentes durante o dia e frescas ao anoitecer inicia nas caminhadas junto ao meu companheiro antropólogo, em suas inúmeras idas a campo. Como pesquisador de grupos indígenas no Semiárido, esse trabalho exige dele uma imersão na vida daquela gente. Coloquei-me a caminhar junto dele, adquiri o hábito do caderno de campo, construí pontes e me perguntei até onde era a historiadora e/ou a esposa do etnólogo. Encontrei-me em trânsito, sentindo vigor por uma pesquisa que não era minha, mas ali estava por motivos, a princípio, afetivos. Dos textos etnográficos com que já tive contato sempre me marcou Um jogo absorvente: notas sobre a briga de galos balinesa, de Clifford Geertz, em A interpretação das culturas (2008), produzido pelo autor quando esteve naquele país com sua esposa. É interessante perceber que a história está repleta de relatos de viajantes, de Bali na Indonésia ao Semiárido do Brasil, de homens acompanhados por “suas” mulheres. Este relato é sobre quando observei, opinei e construí minha própria experiência como pesquisadora, durante a busca de meu marido em entender sobre a cultura dos Kalankó. Aqui apresento meus escritos e memórias de campo, baseados no método etnográfico e na observação participante.

Solar radiation data is necessary for the design of solar heating systems and used to estimate the thermal performance of solar heating plants. Compared to global irradiance, the direct beam component shows much more variability in space and time. The global radiation split into beam and diffuse radiation on collector plane is important for the evaluation of the performance of different collector types and collector field designs.

Published: June 2021

<p><em>Tidal flooding is one of many disasters caused by climate change. Semarang is one of coastal areas that is affected by climate change which brings tidal flooding in some coastal communities especially Tanjung Mas community in North Semarang. The flood is driven by sea level rise and subsidence. Tidal flooding distrupts the communities of Tanjung Mas in term of physical destruction and enviromental destruction. The disruptions are also affecting both their social and economic activities. The secondary data were collected by doing survey in some instutions who already had the data about tidal flooding. After the data were analyzed by using SPSS with cross tabulation analysis, it shows that the period of residency is (</em> <em>) 26,543 &gt; (</em> <em>) with statistical significance 5%:11,070. Meanwhile, the level of education is (</em> <em>) 42,285 &gt; (</em> <em>) with statistical significance in 5% : 9,487. The livelihood is (</em> <em>) 17,616 &gt; (</em> <em>) with statistical significance in 5% : 9,487.

Published: June 2021

Background:
As carpal tunnel syndrome often precedes other signs of systemic amyloidosis, tenosynovial biopsy at the time of carpal tunnel release may facilitate early diagnosis and treatment. However, evidence-based guidelines for amyloidosis screening during carpal tunnel release have not been established. We sought to develop a predictive model for amyloidosis after carpal tunnel release to inform screening efforts.

Methods:
We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults without known amyloidosis undergoing at least 1 carpal tunnel release from 2000 to 2019 with use of the national Veterans Health Administration database. After estimating the cumulative incidence of amyloidosis after carpal tunnel release, we identified risk factors, constructed a predictive nomogram based on a multivariable subdistribution-hazard competing-risks model, and performed cross-validation.

Results:
Among 89,981 patients undergoing at least 1 carpal tunnel release, 310 were subsequently diagnosed with amyloidosis at a median interval of 4.5 years, corresponding to a cumulative incidence of 0.55% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.47% to 0.63%) at 10 years. Amyloidosis diagnosis following carpal tunnel release was associated with an increased hazard of heart failure (hazard ratio [HR], 4.68; 95% CI: 4.26 to 5.55) and death (HR, 1.27; 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.51) after adjustment for potential confounders. Age, male sex, Black race, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or multiple myeloma, rheumatoid arthritis, atrial fibrillation, spinal stenosis, and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome were independently associated with increased risk of amyloidosis diagnosis and were included in the risk nomogram.

Conclusions:
Amyloidosis diagnosis after carpal tunnel release is rare but is associated with poor outcomes. We present an amyloidosis-risk nomogram to help guide tenosynovial biopsy at time of carpal tunnel release.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
The development of bulk piezoelectric ceramics with high energy conversion efficiency is of decisive importance for the requirements of the advanced energy harvesting devices toward miniaturization and integration. There is an additional motivation in the piezoelectric ceramics, lead titanate-zirconate (PZT) ceramics are the most widely used energy harvesting (EH) materials. This fact is important because legal restrictions on the use of lead in electronic devices have led to greater efforts being made to develop lead-free alternatives to PZT-based materials. Here, we propose the Bi0.5(Na0.8K0.2)0.5TiO3 (BNKT) lead-free piezoceramics as a good candidate for the replacement of toxic lead compounds for energy harvesting applications. For that, we have carried out a systematic study of the voltage generation of BNKT-based piezoceramics for (EH) purposes. Specifically, our results reveal that the BNKT–based lead-free piezoceramics show adequated effective capacitance and output energy due to more effective performance with a piezoelectric charge coefficient and a maximum generated output voltage as high as 12.8 pC/N and 19.9 V, respectively. Finally, we consider that the design of new lead-free piezoceramics with superior property coefficients and functionalities, such as the BNKT-based piezoceramics, should be seriously considered as candidates for the replacement of the current toxic lead-based compounds.
A model involving meteorological factors for short-to-medium term water level prediction of small- and medium-sized urban rivers
Authors: Qin Yawei , Lei Yongjin , Gong Xiangyu , Ju Wanglai 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
With the increasing of extreme weathers, cities, especially the small- and medium-sized urban rivers with the protection areas less than 200 square hectares, are experiencing significantly more flood disasters worldwide. Heavy snowfalls and rainfalls can rapidly overflow these rivers and cause floods due to the their unique geographic locations and fast runoff and confluence. Therefore, it is particularly important to accurately predict the short-to-medium term water levels of such rivers for reducing and avoiding urban floods. In the present work, a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-support vector machine (SVM) water level predication model was constructed by combining PSO and SVM and trained with the meteorological data of Wuhan, China, and the water level data of Yangtze River. The PSO-SVM model is able to lower mean square error (MSE) 70.47% and increase coefficient of determination (R2) 7.02% of the prediction results, as compared with SVM model alone. The highly accurate PSO-SVM model can be used to predict river water level real-time using the hourly weather and water level data, which thereby provides quantitative data support for urban flood control, construction management of water projects, improving response efficiency and reducing safety risks.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Introduction: Clinical data support that the dentatorubrothalamic tract (DRTT) is an effective target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in medically refractory tremor. Nevertheless, the achievement of a realistically detailed depiction of DRTT for preoperative direct targeting remains a challenge.Methods: Ten patients with Parkinson’s disease from the Inselspital Bern database were selected. We used diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) scans for deterministic fiber tracking of the DRTT with the Track Vis software. Thereafter we compared our DSI-characterized DRTT with the existing anatomical data.Results: In 6 out of 10 individuals the full course of DRTT has been in high affiliation/consistency/association/adherence with the anatomical course of DRTT as described in literature.Conclusions: In this study DSI fiber tracking was used to characterize successfully the DRTT anatomical course in its complexity in a quest of the optimal DBS target for parkinsonian tremor. To our knowledge such attempt has not occurred before. Further studies are required to standardize the protocol of DRTT fiber Tracking and to implement it as a valid DBS preoperative planning technique.
Development and Characterization of 123 SNP Markers in Neotrypaea Japonica (Ortmann 1891)
Authors: Sun Xiaoyue , Zhang Jirui , Che Zhiwei 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Neotrypaea japonica (Ortmann 1891) is a burrowing shrimp that lives in tidal flats. In this study, 123 SNP markers were isolated and characterized from N. japonica. The frequency range of minor alleles varied from 0.2500 to 0.4833, the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.4333 to 0.9000, and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.4944 to 0.6503. The polymorphic parameter and inbreeding value varied from 0.3680 to 0.5651 and -0.2768 to 0.1045, respectively. Significant departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction (P < 0.05) were observed for 16 loci. The study of polymorphic SNPs will provide an important theoretical basis for further population genetic diversity analysis and species conservation of N. japonica.

Abstract

BackgroundDiversity of Tuber species in Taiwan is still poorly known, with only T. formosanum form Melanosporum clade, T. furfuraceum from Rufum clade and T. elevatireticulatum from Puberulum clade were recorded in recent 30 years. During our survey of hypogenous fungi in Taiwan, another whitish truffle was collected from roots of Lithocarpus konishii along a forest road in southern Taiwan in January 2018.ResultsThe whitish truffle is herein described as a new species Tuber lithocarpii, which is appeared to differ from most closely related taxon by its small ascomata size, reddish-brown gleba color, small and globose ascospores size with large pentagonal or irregular marbled reticulated ornamentation. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that T. lithocarpii formed a monophyletic clade within Puberulum clade and placed sister to the Thai whitish truffle T.thailandicum with strong branching support.ConclusionsTuber lithocarpii, which is appeared to differ from the previous recorded species based on morphological and phylogenetic evidences. This is an important and encouraging discovery in Taiwan as to facilitate cognition of Asian truffles, the following development of biotechnological applications and truffle cultivation of native species.
PRECYCLE: Multicenter, Randomized Phase IV Intergroup Trial to Evaluate the Impact of E Health-Based Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Assessment on Quality of Life in Patients with Hormone Receptor Positive, HER2 Negative Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated with Palbociclib and an Aromatase Inhibitor- or Palbociclib and Fulvestrant

Abstract
Background: Efficacy and quality of life (QoL) are key when selecting a therapy for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. In hormone receptor positive (HR+) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 minus (HER2-) MBC, addition of targeted oral agents such as everolimus or a cycline-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK 4/6) inhibitor (e.g. palbociclib, ribociclib, abemaciclib) to endocrine therapy substantially prolongs progression-free survival and in the case of a CDK 4/6i also overall survival. Prerequiste for obtaining such benefit is adherence to therapy over the whole treatment duration. Adherence, maintaining patients’ satisfaction, early detection and management of side effects have thus become important challenges, in particular with these new oral drugs and new ways of continuous support for oncological patients are needed. An eHealth-based platform can help to support therapy management and physician-patient interaction.Methods: PreCycle is a multicenter, randomized, phase IV trial in HR+ HER2+ MBC. All patients (n=960) receive the CDK 4/6 inhibitor palbociclib either in first (62.5%) or later line (37.5%) together with endocrine therapy (AI, fulvestrant) according to national guidelines. PreCycle evaluates the time to deterioration (TTD) of QoL in patients supported by eHealth systems with substantially different functionality: CANKADO active vs. inform. CANKADO active is the fully functional CANKADO-based eHealth treatment support system. CANKADO inform is a CANKADO-based eHealth service with a personal login, documentation of daily drug intake, but no further functions. To evaluate QoL, the FACT-B questionnaire is completed at every visit. As little is known about relationships between behavior (e.g. adherence), genetic background, and drug efficacy, the trial includes both patient reported outcome and biomarker screening for discovery of forecast models for adherence, symptoms, QoL, progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).Discussion: The primary objective of PreCycle is to test the hypothesis of superiority for time to deterioration (TTD) in terms of DQoL = “Deterioration of quality of life” (FACT-G scale) in patients supported by an eHealth therapy management system (CANKADO active) versus in patients merely receiving eHealth-based information (CANKADO inform).

Abstract
Our objective was to establish the rate of neurological involvement in STEC-HUS and describe the clinical presentation, management and outcome.

A retrospective chart review of children aged ≤16 years with STEC-HUS in Children’s Health Ireland from 2005 to 2018 was conducted. Laboratory confirmation of STEC infection was required for inclusion. Neurological involvement was defined as encephalopathy, focal neurological deficit and/or seizure activity. Data on clinical presentation, management and outcome were collected.

We identified 240 children with HUS; 202 had confirmed STEC infection. Neurological involvement occurred in 22 (10.9%). The most common presentation was seizures (72.7%). In the neurological group, 19 (86.4%) were treated with plasma exchange and/or Eculizumab. Of the 21 surviving children with neurological involvement, 19 (90.5%) achieved a complete neurological recovery. A higher proportion of children in the neurological group had renal sequelae (26.6% vs. 11.5 %, P=.031). One patient died from multi-organ failure.

Conclusion: We have identified the rate of neurological involvement in a large cohort of children with STEC-HUS as 10.9%. Neurological involvement in STEC-HUS is associated with good long-term outcome (complete neurological recovery in 90.5%) and a low case-fatality rate (4.5%) in our cohort.
Lack of In-Brace X-Rays in Compliant AIS Patients Wearing Full-Time TLSO Braces Associates with Failure

Published: June 2021

Abstract
BackgroundIn-brace correction and brace compliance with Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral Orthotic (TLSO) braces are associated with successful treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). This paper compares patients who had consistent radiographic documentation of in-brace correction to those who did not.MethodsAll skeletally immature (Risser 0–2) patients were treated for AIS (25°-45°) with full-time TLSO braces that had compliance temperature monitors. All patients wore their braces at least 12 hours a day. Brace failure was defined as curve progression to a surgical magnitude (≥ 50°). All patients were followed until brace discontinuation.Results90 patients (F:82, M:8) with an average age of 12.1(10.1–15.0) years, Risser grade 0(0–2), BMI percentile 48.5(0.0-98.8), and daily brace wear of 16.5(12.1–21.6) hrs/day were treated for 24.3(8.0-66.6) months. Patients went through 1.7(1–4) braces on average. 42/90(46.7%) patients had some amount of brace time with an unknown in-brace correction, which, on average, was 66.1% of their total treatment course (11.5–100). On univariate analysis, patients that did not have a repeat in-brace x-ray with major brace adjustments or new brace fabrication tended to be more skeletally immature (Risser 0 and tri-radiate open, p = 0.028), wear more braces throughout their treatment (2.0 vs 1.4, p < 0.001), were treated for a longer period of time (27 vs 22 months, p = 0.022), and failed bracing more often (47.6% vs 22.9%, p = 0.014).ConclusionsPatients who did not have new in-brace x-rays with major brace adjustments and/or new brace fabrication were 3.1(95% CI 1.2–7.6) times more likely to fail bracing than patients who were re-checked with new in-brace x-rays.Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov - NCT02412137, Initial Registration Date April 2015
