title: Community ecology of the metazoan parasites of the Atlantic anchoveta, Cetengraulis edentulus (Actinopterygii: Engraulidae) from the Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The Atlantic anchoveta, Cetengraulis edentulus (Cuvier, 1829) is one of the most commercially important fish species in the littoral of Brazil. The present study evaluates the parasitic fauna of this engraulid fish from the southeastern Brazilian coast. Between October 2019 and March 2020, a total of 100 specimens of C. edentulus from the Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (22°57’44”S; 43°52’28”W), were examined. Eighty-five specimens of C. edentulus were parasitized by at least one species of metazoan, with a mean of 4.32 ± 6.12 parasites/fish. Eleven species of parasites were collected: five digeneans, two monogeneans, two copepods, one isopod and one nematode. The nematode Hysterothylacium sp. was the most abundant and dominant species, representing 51.85% of the metazoan parasites collected, showing positive correlation with the host’s total length and parasite abundance and prevalence. The mean abundance and prevalence of Hysterothylacium sp. was significantly higher in female hosts. One pair of larval endoparasites showed positive covariation. Centengraulis edentulus represents a new host record for nine species of parasites. A dominance of endoparasitic larval stages is documented in the parasite community of C. edentulus. This may be a function of the feeding habits of engraulid fish, which feed mainly on zooplanktonic organisms. It may also have to do with to the fact that C. edentulus is the intermediate and/or paratenic host of fish parasites, birds, and marine mammals.

title: PEDRO DE ALCANTARA LISBOA, BRAZILIAN CHEMIST OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY

description: The subject of the present article is a Brazilian chemist who lived and worked in the nineteenth century and who is hardly known today. He was the first person in Brazil, still in the first half of the nineteenth century, to write chemical equations in the description of actual reactions, and also the first to use equations in order to perform stoichiometric calculations. Although commonplace and trivial today, these were quite innovative in the 1840’s. He had a diploma from the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures of Paris, from which he graduated in 1845 as a “chemical civil engineer”. Back in Brazil he continued his career, pioneering different aspects of chemistry in the country, and publishing continuously for a number of years on several chemical topics, as well as in other technical subjects. After what seemed to be a meteoric career, he became disillusioned with many setbacks, mostly political, and took up a different career, as a mathematician.

title: Bryophytes from a forest remnant in the campus of the Universidade Federal de São Carlos, municipality of Sorocaba, State of São Paulo, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The campus of the Universidade Federal de São Carlos, in the municipality of Sorocaba, is composed of a forest remnant characterized by vegetation of seasonal semidecidual tropical forest and cerrado. We recorded 96 species of bryophytes in the area: 56 mosses (Fissidentaceae is the richest, with 11 spp.) and 40 liverworts (Lejeuneaceae is the most representative, with 21 spp.). Eight species are endemic to Brazil and two were mentioned for the first time in the State of São Paulo (Fissidens allionii Broth. and Lejeunea subsessilis Spruce). The predominance of corticolous species and mat life form indicate a strong relationship with the microclimate conditions of the environment, as well as the availability of substrate. The simultaneous presence of species from the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado indicates an transition zone bryoflora, at the same time that subcosmopolitan and ruderal species with wide distribution express the secondary character of the forest remnant.

title: ARE INDIVIDUAL MICROENTREPRENEURS WHO INTEND TO GROW ALERT TO OPPORTUNITIES?

description: Abstract The aim of this paper is to identify the relationship between growth intentions and entrepreneurial alertness of individual microentrepreneurs (abbreviated as MEIs). The specific objectives are to test the multidimensionality of the construct entrepreneurial alertness and to verify whether there is a relationship between growth intentions and all other dimensions of alertness. The research method employed was a survey, which was carried out with 134 MEIs, and hypothesis testing on the multidimensionality of the construct alertness, which had empirical support, and on the relationship between growth intentions and entrepreneurial alertness, which was only partially supported by the empirical analysis. This research presents an original contribution to studies on the growth of microenterprises, a growing entrepreneurial category in Brazil. In addition, the present study presents a theoretical contribution to studies on the growth of small-sized businesses, as well as on entrepreneurial opportunities, emphasizing the existing relationship between growth intention and one dimension of entrepreneurial alertness.

title: Evidence of validity of the GAD-7 Scale in brazilian adolescents

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate evidence of validity of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7) in Brazilian adolescents, analyze the concurrent validity of the scale, and present the social distribution of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in this sample. Participants included 302 adolescents between 15 and 19 years old. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the GAD-7, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were applied. The results of the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) attested to the unidimensionality of GAD-7 and the internal consistency was considered satisfactory. The concurrent validity evidence demonstrated statistically significant and positive associations between the GAD-7 and the PHQ-9 and HADS-A scales. Positive symptoms for GAD in adolescents occurred in almost half of the sample, being more common in girls and younger adolescents. The study concluded that GAD-7 has adequate psychometric properties to screen for anxiety in adolescents.

title: “What if a Person Gets the Vaccine and Turns into an Alligator?”: A Study of the Effect of Ideological Polarization on Purchase Intention

description: Abstract In this study, the main objective is to identify the effect of ideological polarization on the generation of both hate and purchase intent (PI), in relation to a brand. A survey encouraged 206 participants to think that a significant brand would support a political candidate antagonistic to their personal beliefs. We identified the political ideology declared and then measured the hatred generated in this situation, in addition to the regulatory focus (preventive versus promotional), and PI in relation to the brand. The results showed the relationship between the participant’s ideological polarization (right-wing or left-wing) and the PI. We also identified that involvement and brand hate - as generated by a non-congruent positioning between the brand and the ideological respondent - mediated the relationship between self-congruence and PI. Additionally, regulatory focus moderated the effects of the relationships among involvement and brand hate and the PI.

title: Factors associated with deaths from dengue in a city in a metropolitan region in Southeastern Brazil: a case-control study

description: ABSTRACT Background: Dengue is a public health problem in Brazil. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze factors associated with deaths from dengue in residents of the municipality of Contagem, Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, during the 2016 epidemic. Methods: To determine the factors associated with deaths due to dengue, we used a logistic regression model (univariate and multivariable) in which the response variable (outcome) was death due to dengue. Independent variables analyzed included demographic variables and those related to symptoms, treatment, hospitalization, testing, comorbidities, and case history. Results: The factors associated with dengue deaths in the final multivariable model [p &lt; 0.05; 95% confidence interval (CI)] were age (OR = 1.07; 95%CI 1.03-1.11) and presence of bleeding (OR = 8.55; 95%CI 1.21-59.92). Conclusions: The results showed that age and the presence of bleeding factors increased the risk of dengue death. These findings indicate that warning signs of dengue should be routinely monitored, and patients should be instructed to seek medical attention when they occur. It is also emphasized that the parameters and epidemiological conditions of dengue patients need to be continuously investigated to avoid a fatal outcome.
