title: Self-care deficit among older men in the COVID-19 pandemic: implications for nursing

description: ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze self-care deficit among older men in the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and to discuss the implications for nursing practice. Methods: web survey, multicentric, qualitative. A total of 120 older men participated, applying a form from April to June 2020 and April to August 2021. Reflective Thematic Analysis, interpreted by Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory, was used. Results: temporally, the self-care of older men was manifested in the self-care requirements - affective bonds, self-care for development - meditation and self-care with health deviations - remote consultations. Fully, partially compensatory, educational/support systems mobilized self-care. Final Considerations: as care managers, nurses can strengthen the support network for older men by activating professionals from the multidisciplinary team, family members, caregivers and the community to promote self-care and correct health deviations in times of crisis.

title: People with Disabilities and COVID-19 in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil: between invisibility and lack of Public Policies

description: Abstract This article aims to analyze the profile of people with disabilities among the cases notified by the COVID-19 panel of Espírito Santo and the possible associations with the positive result of the COVID-19 test. Descriptive cross-sectional study among people with disabilities with positive and negative tests for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Associations of epidemiological and clinical variables were performed using the chi-square test and logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratio. Lethality rate of COVID-19 was 4.9% (175 cases) in the group of people with disabilities, and 3% (3,016) in the group without disabilities. People with disabilities, male (OR=1.34; 95%CI 1.22-1.47), race/black color (OR=1.55; 95%CI 1.09-2.20), and those who were hospitalized (OR=2.27; 95%CI 1.71-3.02) were associated with positive tests for COVID-19. The pandemic emphasizes the need to create specific legal care mechanisms and targeted public policies for this population.

title: Evidence of the validity of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) in university students

description: Abstract Social support refers to the social resources that a person perceives to be available and has been strongly associated with physical and mental health outcomes. The present study aimed to evaluate the internal consistency, construct validity, and test-retest reliability of the Perceived Social Support Multidimensional Scale (PSSMS) in university students in the Midwest of Brazil. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed with two independent random samples, both consisting of 1,147 students. The test-retest study was carried out with a sample of 347 medical students. Data were collected in two separate moments with a 14-day interval. The solution with the best fit was the three-factor model: family, friends, and significant others. The factor loadings of the scale items ranged between 0.767 and 0.950 and each factor showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha=0.96, 0.97, and 0.97, respectively). The model also attained adequate fit: χ2(d.f.)=380 (49), p&lt;0.0001; SRMR=0.023; RMSEA=0.077; CFI=0.993; TLI=0.990. Test-retest reliability was moderate (weighted kappa ranging from 0.36 to 0.52). The results suggest that the PSSMS has acceptable psychometric properties for use with university students.

title: Pandemic solidarity: society’s responses to state insufficiency

description: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic reached Brazil in a context of political and economic crises that have exacerbated existing inequalities and vulnerabilities. Individuals and organizations undertook actions to support others to mitigate the pandemic effects. Thirty-four interviews were conducted from October to November 2020 to identify the supportive actions to help others, analyzing them concerning (pandemic) solidarity. Solidarity and individualism frequently appeared in the interviews as qualifiers of such actions. Furthermore, we identified three cores in which these actions were staged: the family, the condominium, and the community. The family was mentioned as mutual support based on kinship. On the other hand, condominium actions were subdivided into intramural (mutual support actions among similar people) and extramural actions (which reveal the differentiation between the condominium and more impoverished places). The community emerges as a more powerful type of action, with self-management, mutual support, and shared vulnerability experiences. In this sense, the results encourage us to understand solidarity as a way of transforming society, regardless of the State’s presence.

title: “Early Treatment”, Anti-Vaccination, and Denialism: who are the Doctors for Life in the COVID-19 pandemic context in Brazil?

description: Abstract The article aims to identify who the “Doctors for Life” are, their academic and professional information, which assumptions have been mobilized for the defense of “early treatment” and the denial of vaccines for COVID-19, and the representativeness of their discourses in the medical practice context in Brazil. The analysis is based on a list of 276 doctors’ names, cataloged from their website, and on academic and professional information obtained through research on the Federal Medical Conseil website and the Scientific and Technological Development Nacional Council platform. The content analysis points to the centrality of the medical specialties of homeopathy and acupuncture in the population of Doctors for Life when compared to the set of specialist doctors in Brazil. The significant accession of homeopaths and acupuncturists to the Doctors for Life movement can clarify the understanding of specific medical rationalities, allowing us to distinguish which categories and ideas about the health-disease process are in dispute. It is concluded that, more than describing the problem, it is needed to establish its correlations with a group of events, practices, political decisions, economic linkages, shared beliefs, and a chain of processes that configure its undeniably social characteristics.

title: A potent inflammatory response is triggered in asymptomatic blood donors with recent SARS-CoV-2 infection

description: ABSTRACT Background: The inflammatory response plays a significant role in the outcome of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Methods: We investigated plasma cytokine and chemokine concentrations in non-infected (NI), asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected blood donors (AS), and patients with severe COVID-19 (SC). Results: The SC group showed significantly higher levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-10, and CCL5 than the AS and NI groups. The SC and AS groups had considerably greater CXCL9 and CXCL10 concentrations than the NI group. Only NI and infected people showed separate clusters in the principal component analysis. Conclusions: SC, as well as AS was characterized by an inflammatory profile.

title: Optimization of raw material properties of natural starch by food glue based on dry heat method

description: Abstract Starch is a versatile food component with several industrial applications. Its chemically altered derivatives provide a wide range of high-tech applications in the food and non-food markets. Altered starches are intended to compensate for one or more of native starches' drawbacks, such as decrease of viscosity and hardening ability during processing and preservation, especially at low pH, syneresis, retrogradation properties, and so on. Some of the most frequent modifications used to create starch derivatives include cross-linking, dextrinization, hydroxy alkylation, esterification, and oxidation. The effect of the amount of modified starch, the amount of glycerol, and the drying temperature on the film performance of dry heat modified lotus seed starch were studied. The film performance indexes were optimized by response surface analysis and weighted evaluation function method. The optimal film forming conditions for dry heat modified lotus seed starch was obtained as follows: the amount of modified lotus seed starch was 3.53%, the amount of glycerol was 1.51%, and the drying temperature was 80 °C. This research result will provide theoretical guidance for the industrial production of dry heat-modified lotus seed starch edible film.

title: Inheritance of soluble solids content and sucrose in melon

description: ABSTRACT The main quality parameters of melon are related to sucrose accumulation and soluble solids content. Understanding the genetic control of these traits is essential to help breeders in the selection process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inheritance of sucrose accumulation and soluble solids content in melon. A randomized block design with three replicates was used to evaluate AC-16 and Vedrantais parents, and F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 generations. We verified that sucrose is the main factor which is related to genetic and environmental variability observed in sugar content between parents. The inheritance of sucrose content involves a major effect gene with additive and dominance effects associated with polygenes with additive effects. The inheritance of soluble solids involves a major gene with additive and dominance effects associated with polygenes, with additive effects, and the presence of epistasis.

title: Working in health and safety at work: reflections on the construction of an integrated policy

description: Abstract Interventions in work environments, processes, and situations encompass the prevention of diseases and accidents and workers’ health promotion. Historically, these actions were originally the responsibility of the Ministry of Labor, being extended to the Ministry of Health, and later to the Ministry of Labor. The aim of this study was to understand and give visibility to the work of the actors working in the different sectors and institutions involved in health and safety at work in the municipality of São Paulo and gain an insight into the barriers to intersectorality and the consequences of the lack of intersectoral collaboration for this area. Work reflection groups were created between 2017 and 2019 with professionals working in the abovementioned ministries and in the Labor Prosecution Office. The data were produced and analyzed drawing on the theoretical bases of the psychodynamics of work. Despite having intrinsically linked objectives, these three bodies in São Paulo continue to encounter difficulties in consolidating intersectorality as envisioned in occupational health and safety policies. Despite sporadic partnerships, merging specific actions, recognizing and mutually respecting each other’s expertise, avoiding overlaps, and building joint, cooperative, and collaborative practices remain challenges.

title: Evaluation of Removal Force in Prosthetic Components of Morse Taper Dental Implants

description: Abstract The longevity of prosthetic rehabilitation is determined by the stability of the implant and abutment interfaces. True morse taper connections on dental restorations have been effective, however activation force still empirical. This work compared the activation strength and internal contact of Morse taper system according to the removal force. Eighty sets, composed of implants and prosthetic abutments, were evaluated with different internal contact areas; 15.12mm2 (G3.3) and 21.25mm2 (G4.3). The specimens were activated at 0° and 30°, with loads of 10, 20, 40 and 60N. The specimens were submitted to tensile test and the data to ANOVA and Tukey’s tests (α=0.05). Representative specimens were examined under SEM. Removal force of G3.3 (2.15±1.33MPa) did not differed to G4.3 (1.99±1.03MPa). The activation at 0º (2.95±0.98MPa) statistically differed to 30º (1.19±0.54MPa). The 60N load was statistically superior for G3.3 and there was no statistical difference between 20N to 60N in G4.3. The values of 10N at 30o and 20N at the long axis of the morse taper implant, independent of the frictional contact area showed the best settlement.
