title: Broadcast application of ground silicate rocks as potassium sources for grain crops

description: Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic and economic efficiency of phonolite rock (K2) and alkaline potassium-silicate rock (K3), ground and applied by surface broadcasting, as K sources for the soybean (Glycine max), corn (Zea mays), common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), and upland rice (Oryza sativa) crops. Four experiments – one with each crop – were conducted in two crop years in a Typic Haplorthox in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. The treatments consisted of three sources (the KCl standard source, K2, and K3) and four rates (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 times the recommended for each crop) of K. The three sources increased similarly the leaf K concentration of soybean, corn, and common bean but had no effect on that of upland rice. The grain yield of all crops increased with the application of K2 and K3, as observed for KCl. The efficiency of the alternative K sources varies depending on the rate and crop. The K3 source is viable to be applied by broadcasting at the recommended K rate for all studied crops, while K2 is suitable only for soybean, corn, and common bean.

title: Prevalence of Cardiovascular Complications in Individuals with Sickle Cell Anemia and Other Hemoglobinopathies: A Systematic Review

description: Abstract Background Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a hereditary disease whose cardiovascular complications are the main cause of death, the same being observed in other hemoglobinopathies. Early identification of these changes can favorably modify the course of the disease. Objective To compare the prevalence of cardiovascular complications between individuals with SCA and individuals with other hemoglobinopathies. Method Following the recommendations of the PRISMA protocol, a systematic literature review was carried out with searches in PubMed/Medline databases, associated with a manual search. Studies that analyzed the prevalence of cardiovascular alterations in hemoglobinopathies (SCA, sickle cell trait, SC hemoglobinopathy, alpha-thalassemia and beta-thalassemia) were included. The methodological quality of the articles was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results Four studies were selected for analysis, resulting in a sample size of 582 participants: 289 with SCA, 133 with SC hemoglobinopathy, 40 with beta-thalassemia, 100 healthy individuals and none with alpha-thalassemia or sickle cell trait. Dilatation of the cardiac chambers, left and right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, diastolic dysfunction, mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation are more prevalent in SCA than in the other hemoglobinopathies considered. Myocardial iron overload is more frequent in thalassemia major than in sickle cell anemia. Systolic function is similar between different hemoglobinopathies. Conclusion There is greater cardiovascular impairment in individuals with SCA than in those with other hemoglobinopathies, reinforcing the necessity for regular cardiovascular follow-up in sickle cell patients.

title: Does the Violence Live Next Door? Family and Community Violence Amongst Adolescents

description: Abstract Describing the occurrence of violence situations against adolescents, in the family and community, was conducted a cross-sectional study in public schools of municipalities in Brazil. Brazilian Youth Questionnaire Phase II Version was used. Participated 2860 adolescents, being 58.5% female. About a third have already suffered some form of physical violence in the family. In the community, 32.7% of the adolescents reported have already suffered some form of psychological violence. Situations of physical violence were more common amongst boys, 15 to 19 years old participants, and who have already tried alcohol or illegal drugs. It is important that preventive actions against violence of different natures are continuous and comprehensive, including different subgroups and providing the necessary support.

title: Unraveling centric diatoms from the Caatinga: Coscinodiscophyceae and Mediophyceae in northwestern Ceará, Brazil

description: Abstract The Caatinga is the largest tropical dry forest region in South America and harbors an impressive biological diversity. However, efforts in the studies of many groups of organisms, especially aquatic ones, are very small compared to other Brazilian regions. The state of Ceará stands out due to the major concentration of surface water in the semi-arid region, and the diatom flora is virtually unknown. We performed a pioneering and extensive taxonomic study on the centric diatoms from the Caatinga, documenting the morphological variation of the species found, expanding their geographic distribution, and reviewing taxonomic and nomenclatural aspects when relevant. The study was based on planktonic and periphytic samples collected in four hydrographic basins located in the northwestern region of Ceará, northeastern Brazil. Fifteen infrageneric diatom taxa were identified, described, and illustrated using light and scanning electron microscopy. Discostella stelligera was first recorded for northeastern Brazil and D. woltereckii is a new record to the country. Diminutive centric diatoms are well represented in the samples and their taxonomy is discussed. Terpsinoë musica occurred in a population with high phenotypic plasticity and we discussed the related taxonomic implications.

title: Cyperaceae in Serra dos Martírios-Andorinhas, Pará, Brazil

description: Abstract This study focuses on the Cyperaceae occurring in the Serra dos Martírios-Andorinhas (Serra dos Martírios- Andorinhas State Park, and São Geraldo do Araguaia Environmental Protection Area), in the São Geraldo do Araguaia municipality, state of Pará, Brazil. The Serra is in the “Deforestation Arc”, an environmentally vulnerable area with the highest deforestation rates in the Amazon Forest. The predominant phytophysiognomy is the Amazonian savanna, characterized by open environments dominated by herbaceous plants, such as Cyperaceae, represented by only four species in a previous floristic inventory. Studying the diversity of Cyperaceae allows us to a better understanding of the herbaceous layer’s dynamics and assisting in the conservation, monitoring, and management of these fascinating and peculiar environments. Therefore, 276 field and herbarium samples of Cyperaceae from Serra dos Martírios-Andorinhas were examined. Now, Cyperaceae are represented by 12 genera and 72 species in the study area, of which seven represent new records for the State of Pará. A taxonomic identification key, short descriptions with main diagnostic characters, geographic distribution, habitat data, and illustrations for all species and genera are provided.

title: Agency of Objects in the Food Consumption Abandonment

description: ABSTRACT Objective: we aim to understand how objects influence the practice of abandonment of unhealthy food categories. Theoretical background: previous studies explore different typologies to explain variations in anti-consumption behavior and abandonment of product categories from a consumer-oriented perspective. In this study, we follow the new materialism onto-epistemology to recognize that objects have agentic capacities in anti-consumption practices. Specifically, we highlight the abandonment of certain food categories as the interruption of an intersubjective relationship involving consumers and objects. Method: our empirical plan adopts an interpretive perspective to describe practices of abandonment of soft drinks and meats and the way consumers build new relationships with these objects. Data collection makes use of in-depth interviews. Results: the results indicate that the nutritional and production characteristics of these foods negatively impact the lives of consumers, other living beings, and nature. To mitigate this impact, consumers adopt abandonment practices attempting to break with the procedural relationship and the effects of these objects on their lives and on nature. Conclusions: theoretical contributions reveal that the procedural relationship between objects and consumers operates at different levels of complexity, according to the agentic capacity of the object, limiting or making easy the abandonment of unhealthy food categories.

title: Audiologists’ knowledge of and adherence to biosafety measures

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify biosafety measures taken by audiologists and their perception of the risks to which they are exposed. Methods: the sample comprised 63 speech-language-hearing therapists who work with clinical and occupational audiology in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The research was conducted online between April and May 2022 via Google Forms®, collecting data with the Audiology Biosafety Questionnaire proposed by Rocha et al. (2015). Results: most professionals reported taking the following measures: washing hands before patient visits (86%), washing hands in-between patient visits (81%), using hand sanitizers (87.5%), wearing white coats that covered their clothes (87%) and keeping them buttoned up (79%), keeping nails clean and trimmed (97%), disinfecting and separating used equipment (94%), and organizing the environment (97%). However, 41% of interviewees left the workplace wearing personal protective equipment, and only 22% and 14%, respectively, wore gloves when performing otoscopy and auditory examinations. Conclusion: research results show that most of the interviewed speech-language-hearing therapists who work in audiology know and practice the biosafety measures indicated in the existing norms.

title: Board of Directors’ Interlocks: A Social Network Analysis Tutorial

description: ABSTRACT Objective: the literature on board interlocks has increased in recent years, focusing on understanding board composition and its relationships with other companies’ boards. Such studies usually require multiple procedures of data extraction, handling, and analysis to create and analyze social networks. However, these procedures are not standardized, and there is a lack of methodological instructions available to make this process easier for researchers. This tutorial intends to describe the logical steps taken to collect data, treat them, and map and measure the network properties to provide researchers with the sources to replicate it in their own research. We contribute to the literature in the management field by proposing an empirical methodological approach to conduct board interlocks’ research. Proposal: our tutorial describes and provides examples of data collection, directors’ data treatment, and the use of these data to map and measure network structural properties using an open-source tool - R statistical software. Conclusions: our main contribution is a tutorial detailing the steps required to map and analyze board interlocks, making this process easier, standardized, and more accessible for all researchers who wish to develop social network analysis studies.
