title: Behavioral fractal method associated with GPS tracking to spatial activity sequences of grazing cattle

description: ABSTRACT Global positioning and geographic information systems are essential for studying foraging animal behavior. This study aims to implement a fractal self-similarity and chaos game computational efficient methodology to determine the behavior-associated fractal using GPS data of activity sequences in spatial ranges of livestock movement trajectories in interaction with habitat factors. Six cows were randomly selected with an average weight of 480 kg, maintained under the same conditions, and a GPS-equipped collar was installed, programmed at intervals of 1 min and an average of 9 h daylight. Roughly 192810 registries and an average of 32135 signals per cow from trajectory tracking in spatial activity sequencing were used as a variable of interest in the fractal characterization methodology. Spatial patterns were evaluated using the Morán’s spatial autocorrelation indices, cluster, and non-parametric statistics, evaluating deterministic spatial patterns of preferential activities associated to spatial ranges of less than 7.1 m (resting 42 %, grazing 38 %). GPS information was refined through spatial ranges and changes in activities under resting, eating, traveling, and complementary schemes associated to the fractal displacement behavior of grazing cattle. This information was processed and mapped using fractal self-similarity rules in the Sierpinski triangle to determine the typical fractal of spatial activities per animal in the habitat. The particular fractal record of each bovine as a function of trajectory sequences was mapped for binary image matrices, registering a good classification (83 %) of the animals by breed and climatological cycle, using information from the sequencing of spatial activities associated to the preferred behavior in the habitat.

title: Municipal actions in Londrina-PR in the structuring of the teaching profession (1934-1963)

description: ABSTRACT Several activities on the structuring of municipal teacher´s profession conducted by the municipality of Londrina between 1934 and 1963 are analyzed. The theme lies within the History of Education, especially within the studies on municipalism in Education. On the one hand, the time limit (1934) was proposed because it was the year in which the first activities on the hiring of teachers by the local authorities were performed. On the other hand, 1963 was the last year of the National Campaign for Rural Education, a highly significant movement for the upgrading of local teachers, coordinated by the Department of Education and Social Assistance (DEPAS). Data under analysis comprised reports of the mayor, minutes of the municipal council and laws. Analyses revealed the structuring of the profession of municipal teachers through insertion within the public service roll, prevision of salaries, formation in specialized institutes and participation in courses of pedagogical updating.

title: Supplementary Material for: Education Competencies for integrative oncology in Germany: results of a stakeholder engagement survey study

description: Background. Integrative Medicine (IM) training programs in oncology lacked standardized education core competencies to ensure the practical relevance of its learning content and objectives. In a previous international and interprofessional consensus procedure, core competencies were developed for health professionals working in Integrative Oncology (IO). However, the transferability of the developed core competencies to integrative oncology physicians working in Germany has not yet been verified. The overall aim of this survey study as part of the KOKON Project (Kompetenznetzwerk Komplementärmedizin in der Onkologie; Competence Network Complementary Medicine in Oncology), was to investigate if the international core competencies developed for integrative oncology for a broader group of health professionals are suitable for physicians in Germany. Material and methods. Paper-pencil and digital questionnaires were distributed amongst various stakeholder groups (cancer patients and representatives; integrative oncology physicians; members of IM organization and IM researchers; multipliers of cancer support groups). The stakeholders were asked to rate the 37 core competencies developed according to their importance for the respective stakeholder group (not important, moderately, very important). Analyses were conducted using a 60% agreement threshold for medium to highly important competencies and 50% agreement threshold for highly important competencies. Results. We contacted different persons from various stakeholder groups (n=370) with a survey response rate of 55.5 – 68.4% (n=271) depending on the respective stakeholder group. Using the 50% agreement threshold, all competencies were accepted by the stakeholder groups. 27 competencies were considered very important by 60% of the survey participants. In particular, cancer patients and cancer support groups showed similar results. Conclusion. The list of developed international core competencies for IM health professionals seems to be suitable for physicians providing IO in Germany according to different stakeholder groups. The implementation of competencies can support the development of evidence-based, patient-centered training programs for physicians.

title: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THORACIC VERTEBRAL STABILITY SUPPORTED BY THE FOURTH SPINE

description: ABSTRACT Objective: In traumatic injuries of the thoracic spine, three variables are analyzed to make decisions: morphology of the injury, posterior ligamentous complex and neurological status; currently the fourth column is not evaluated; our objective was to determine the biomechanical behavior of the spine with a fracture of the fifth thoracic vertebral body when accompanied by a short oblique fracture of the sternum. Methods: An anonymous model of a healthy 25-year-old male was used, from which the thoracic spine and rib cage were obtained; in addition to the ligaments of the posterior complex and the intervertebral discs, four models were simulated. An axial section was made, a load of 400 N was applied, and the biomechanical behavior of each model was determined. Results: The area that suffered the most stress at the vertebral level was the posterior column of T4-T5 (tensile strength of 747 MPa), which exceeded the plastic limit, the load through the ribs was distributed from the first to the sixth (100 MPa), in the sternum the stress increased (200 MPa), the deformity increased to 45 mm. Conclusions: The sternum was a fundamental part of the spine’s stability; the combined injury severely increased the stress (8 MPa to 747 MPa) in the spine and exceeded the plastic limit, which generated an instability that is represented by the global deformity acquired (1 mm to 45 mm). Level of evidence II; Prospective comparative study.

title: HDL-Cholesterol in Children and Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease

description: Abstract Background Children and adolescents with congenital heart disease may be more likely to develop atherogenic cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. Therefore, the early identification of risk factors and intervention in childhood may be crucial for a good quality of life and longevity. Objectives To describe the distribution of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) levels and its association with socioeconomic, clinical and cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease. Methods Cross-sectional study with children and adolescents aged between 5 and 18 years, with congenital heart disease. Socioeconomic, clinical and cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated. HDL-c concentrations were evaluated by the direct method and categorized as desirable (&gt;45 mg/dL), borderline (40-45 mg/dL) and low (&lt;40 mg/dL). We also assessed the “undesirable” levels, consisting of the sum of “borderline” and “low” values for comparative purposes. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the factor associated with undesirable HDL-c levels. A p&lt;0.05 value was adopted as statistically significant. Results Mean HDL-c was 51.2 mg/dL (SD 12.6), with a prevalence of 33.2% of undesirable HDL-c. In the multivariate analysis, C-reactive protein levels ≥ 3mg/dL (OR 3.26; 95% CI 1.32-8.04), age ≥ 10 years old (OR: 2.11; 95% CI 1.12-3.99) and undesirable levels of triglycerides (OR 2.21; 95% CI 1.13-4.75) were associated with undesirable HDL-c. Conclusion In this sample of children and adolescents with congenital heart disease, almost one third presented low or borderline HDL-c levels. Age ≥10 years, C-reactive protein and triglycerides were associated with undesirable HDL-c levels. These factors should be considered in the prevention of cerebrovascular diseases in adulthood in this population.

title: Guidelines to sign Read and Publish agreements in Brazil from the analysis of the transformative agreements of Germany and Colombia

description: Abstract The democratization of access to science sought with Open Access is accompanied by the payment of Article Processing Charges. In a context of scarce financial resources, “pay to publish” becomes a challenge for developing countries like Brazil. Given the lack of a policy on financing the charges for Brazilian funding agencies and the proliferation of transformative agreements around the world, this article presents guidelines for implementing Read and Publish agreements at Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, based on the analysis of agreements signed in Germany and Colombia. Among the proposed guidelines, it is suggested that the agreements cover Open Access and hybrid journals, consider the publication history of postgraduate programs for the distribution of resources aiming to finance Article Processing Charges and function as a qualification policy that helps Brazilian researchers to publish in high impact journals.

title: TEACHING IN THE PANDEMIC ERA: TECHNOLOGIES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING TO THE DEAF

description: ABSTRACT The world has been facing the greatest challenge of the 21st century since March 2020, when educational institutions in Brazil had to interrupt their classroom activities, adopting productive isolation and remote teaching. From this perspective, we felt compelled to produce this qualitative work, of a bibliographic character, to draw reflections on technologies in the teaching of English to deaf students in the Pandemic Era. Data show that the world has been changing and a considerable number of teachers and students are facing some challenges due to it, especially as the school reality had to move to a completely different space. Therefore, the public education system needed to reinvent itself to make it possible to share knowledge through digital information and communication technology. Bearing that in mind, we described and indicated possible uses for seven apps and extensions, which allow deaf students to learn through visual, contextualized activities. In conclusion, we advocate that Brazil must invest in scientific research, in strengthening education systems, in education measures, in continuing teacher education and training, and in the development of educational policies that address the new demands of education.

title: Association Between Lipid Profile and Clinical Manifestations in Sickle Cell Anemia: A Systematic Review

description: Abstract Introduction Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic disease associated with frequent episodes of acute illness. Changes in the lipid profile and a chronic inflammatory process make up the molecular aspects observed in this disease. Associations between these mechanisms and clinical manifestations could thus define severity profiles and therapeutic strategies. Objectives To verify whether there is an association between lipid profile and clinical manifestations in patients with SCA and if there is a correlation between lipid profile and laboratory markers in this disease. Methodology According to the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review of the literature was conducted by searching the MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. Articles were screened by reading the titles and abstracts, reaching those selected for full-text reading. The included studies were published between 2010 and 2020, were fully available in the databases, and addressed the proposed theme. The risk of individual bias was assessed by using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results Out of the 144 identified articles, 15 were selected for analysis, resulting in a sample size of 2,230 individuals. HDL-C, LDL-C, total cholesterol , and triglycerides were the main variables analyzed in the lipid profiles. A correlation was observed between these variables and some of the most relevant clinical events in the disease, including vaso-occlusive seizures and acute thoracic syndrome. Conclusion Lipid metabolism disorders, especially hypocholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia, are linked to clinical events observed in SCA, suggesting they play a relevant role in the multifactorial pathogenesis of this disease.
