title: Anatomical and histochemical characterization of seeds of Cattleya intermedia subjected to different storage conditions

description: Abstract Studies involving morphological and anatomical changes resulting from seed storage are rare, but relevant to ensure information related to the quality of seeds and seedlings originated from these seeds. The objectives of this work as to carry out the anatomical and histochemical characterization of seeds from the Cattleya intermedia orchid, verifying the occurrence of possible alterations coming from different temperatures and storage periods. The treatments consisted of temperatures of: 25 (± 2 °C) (room), -20 °C (freezer), -80 °C (ultra freezer) and - 196 °C (cryopreservation); and storage periods: two, four and six months. For the anatomical and histochemical analyses, scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy were performed. The following stains were employed: toluidine blue (TBO), Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB), Sudan IV and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). The dehydration observed in the seeds was considered the main damage resulting from storage. Changes in the internal structures of the seeds were also noted, such as degeneration, mainly in seeds kept at room temperature 25 (± 2 °C), which caused a reduction in the main components of reserves. The -80 °C (ultra freezer) temperature during the two and four months period was efficient in the conservation seed of the tissues and cells, confirming the possibility of using this condition for better conservation of the seeds of this species.

title: Integrated assessment of children’s cognitive and creative abilities: Psychometric studies

description: Abstract It is essential that intelligence assessment be integrated with creativity, although no instruments in Brazil do so. This research investigated the item difficulty and validity and reliability of the Bateria de Avaliação Intelectual e Criativa Infantil (BAICI) to address this gap. The first sample consisted of 612 children (54% M) aged 7 to 12 years, and the second sample consisted of 377 students (56% M), some of whom (N = 164) were already identified as exhibiting high skills/giftedness. Item analysis indicated the need to adjust the BAICI items. The results of a MANCOVA indicated that the BAICI exhibits evidence of validity with external variables because the group of gifted children was significantly distinguished from the group of students attending regular schools on tests of vocabulary, speed, logical thinking, and creativity. The study concludes that the BAICI has psychometric qualities that can be used in the psychological assessment of children.

title: Antinociceptive and anxiolytic-like effects of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil on rat models of orofacial pain

description: Abstract Nociceptive and inflammatory orofacial pain is highly prevalent in the population, which justifies the search for safer analgesics. There is increasing evidence of the analgesic and anxiolytic potential of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil (LAV EO), which may represent, when administered through inhalation, may represent a safer alternative for pain treatment. Objective to evaluate whether LAV EO has antinociceptive effect in the formalin test, and anti-hyperalgesic and anxiolytic-like effects in rats subjected to a model of orofacial postoperative pain. Methodology Female Wistar rats were exposed to LAV EO (5%) by inhalation for 30 minutes. After exposure, animals were injected with formalin (2.5%, 50 μL) or saline into the hind paw or upper lip and the number of flinches or facial grooming time, respectively, were evaluated. Likewise, on day 3 after intraoral mucosa incision, the animals were exposed to LAV EO and facial mechanical, and heat hyperalgesia were assessed. The influence of LAV EO inhalation on anxiety-like behavior was assessed in operated rats by testing them on the open field (OF) and elevated plus maze (EPM). Results LAV EO reduced the phase II of the paw formalin test and both phases of the orofacial formalin test. On day three post-incision, LAV EO reduced heat and mechanical hyperalgesia, from 30 minutes up to three hours, and reduced the anxiety-like behavior in operated rats without causing locomotor deficit. Conclusion LAV EO inhalation results in antinociceptive and anxiolytic-like effects in orofacial pain models, which encourages further studies on LAV EO indications and effectiveness on orofacial pain conditions.

title: Spectrophotometric determination of acid dissociation constants of some arylpropionic acids and arylacetic acids in acetonitrile-water binary mixtures at 25ºC

description: Abstract The acid dissociation constant of drug active compounds (arylpropionic and aryl acetic acids) were determined in acetonitrile and water binary mixtures (corresponding volume fractions of 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, and 0.55) by using a multi-wavelength spectrophotometric method. Drug active compounds, which were slightly soluble in water, were studied in these binary mixtures. The dissociation constants of drug active compounds are important in drug design studies and in any research of the biopharmaceutical and physicochemical properties of drugs. The STAR program was used for the determination of dissociation constants. The acidity constants of arylpropionic and aryl acetic acids were correlated with the Kamlet and Taft solvaatochromic parameters. Aqueous pKa values of these arylpropionic and aryl acetic acids were determined from pKa values obtained from acetonitrile and water binary mixtures with varying volume fractions. The studied drugs had a pKa value corresponding to base functional group. Results showed that the acid dissociation constant values of the drug active compounds increased with an increase in acetonitrile content in the medium.

title: Career social representations: a study with professionals of different ages

description: Abstract This research aims to analyze the formation and structure of career social representations (SR) for professionals of different ages who work in the business area. The Theory of Social Representations (TSR) guided the study carried out in a sample of 174 young professionals (between 18 and 29 years old) and 105 older professionals (from 45 years old). Methodologically, a questionnaire containing questions in free evocation format was applied, and the data were submitted to OpenEvoc and Iramuteq software. The results of the structure and dynamics of career SR for the groups indicated, at the same time, the presence of similar and distinct elements. Moreover, these results contradict, in part, the literature on career and generational characteristics, indicating the relevance of aspects related to the socio-historical context to explain career SR. The data contribute to the understanding of career SR, enabling new debates and (re)readings.

title: Medical education, race and health: what is missing for the construction of an antiracist pedagogical project?

description: Abstract: Introduction: The hegemony of medical education is based on so-called universalistic and egalitarian principles. This paper questions such principles, considering the heterogeneity and multiplicity imbricated in medical know-how in light of historical, social and loco-regional health conditions. To understand medical knowledge in that complex panorama, the production of knowledge must privilege equity in health in the development of pedagogical projects and undergraduate curricula. Do these projects and curricula deal with care for social minorities properly? In Brazil, black people constitute the main social group affected by that social reality. In the Northeast region of the country, that population usually faces several difficulties to access proper medical care. Objective: This paper aims to analyze the pedagogical projects of undergraduate medical programs in the Northeast of Brazil and their interfaces with contents that contribute to medical training to address the health inequities of the black population. Methodology: This is an exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study. It analyzes 23 pedagogical projects from 13 federal public undergraduate medical programs at universities in the Brazilian Northeast. Data were correlated with scientific findings and theoretical references that address the health of black people and medical education. Results: The studied programs contain compulsory and optional courses which contextualize social race in health. They present a historical and sociocultural understanding of blackness to medical students. However, in a practical sense there are several gaps, including a lack of cross-sectional approaches, of proposals for internships and limited promotion of community outreach programs and institutional policies to encourage racial issues. This reveals the little value ascribed to the field of experience for understanding racialized health, and shows a lack of specific practices for the health of the black population, reducing medical capacity to interpret situations, practices and behaviors in racialized contexts. Conclusion: This paper shows that the promotion of an antiracist medical education requires a training based on dialogical, humanistic, critical-reflexive praxis regarding the health of the black population. It is necessary to correlate theories and skills, competencies and care practices, based on racialized knowledge for the construction of pedagogical projects for undergraduate medical programs in the Brazilian Northeast.

title: Personality, social anxiety and adaptation to distancing measures during the pandemic

description: Abstract The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed people’s lives. Social distancing means avoiding close contact with others during a contagious disease outbreak to minimize exposure. Such constraints may also contribute to the worsening of certain mental health disorders. The present study aimed to evaluate the extent to which personality features and social anxiety may contribute to greater difficulties in coping with social distancing practices. A total of 1120 individuals were assessed using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) and personality mini-markers to assess personality traits. Logistic regression analysis revealed that neuroticism, social anxiety, and the number of additional hours one spends at home represent significant predictors of greater difficulty. Thus, results showed that social anxiety disorder had specific presentations during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

title: Analysis of femicide cases in Campinas, SP, Brazil, from 2018 to 2019 through the ecological model of violence

description: Abstract Lethal violence against women is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon in which a wide number of factors intersect and converge to make a femicide happen at a specific time and place. The main factors that contributed to the occurrence of femicides in the city of Campinas were identified from January 2018 to December 2019. Interviews were conducted with family members, friends, neighbors, witnesses, and health agents about 24 femicides using the verbal autopsy technique. The autopsies were supplemented, when possible, with information from the media and clinical autopsy reports. For the data analysis process, narratives of the cases were carried out, recovering the most important aspects of the verbal autopsies and organizing the factors found in the four levels of the ecological model of violence used by the World Health Organization: individual, relational, community, and social. The analysis was structured in categories following a deductive approach. Starting from particular cases delimited in time (2018 and 2019) and in space (municipality of Campinas) it is expected to understand the phenomenon of femicide in its broadest dimension.

title: Macroanatomy of Cecum in German Mast Geese (Anser Anser) and Investigation with Scanning Electron Microscope (Sem)

description: ABSTRACT Our study aimed to compare the cecum of German mast geese with other poultry species through macroanatomy and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Adult German geese were used as research material, which were obtained from its breeders and died of various causes. In the study, after determining the macroanatomical features of the German mast goose cecum, it was examined with a scanning electron microscope (JEOL JSM-5600LV) and the general structures were photographed. The craniodorsal of the rectum of German mast geese was shaped with two ceca, giving right and left arms to the cranial symmetrical to each other near the end of the ileum. The macroanatomy of the apex, corpus, and basis cecum parts was examined in the cecum divided into two. In the study, it was determined that villus extensions were sparse in the right and left apex ceci parts in the cecum SEM images of the German mast geese, while the number of the corpus and basis ceci parts was higher. As a result, the macroanatomy and scanning electron microscopic findings of German mast geese cecum were examined in detail and its differences from other poultry species were revealed.
