title: Cerebral Palsy: Parental Stress of Caregivers

description: Abstract The aim of this research was to investigate indicators of parental stress among caregivers of children with Cerebral Palsy. The study covered a total of 132 participants who responded to the following instruments: Sociodemographic Inventory, Gross Motor Function Classification System, and Parental Stress Index (PSI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The sample was composed mainly of mothers (97%); most of the children were classified under the most severe levels of motor impairment (61%). Regarding the PSI, almost half of the sample experienced high levels of parental stress (46.2%). The PSI domain with the highest percentage of caregivers with high stress was Parental Distress (60.6%). Most caregivers prioritize the needs of the child with Cerebral Palsy over their own needs more than they expected (90%). These results may support intervention strategies aimed at minimizing parental stress.

title: Gynecological/Obstetric Background and Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross-sectional Study in Brazilian Patients

description: Abstract Objective To study a sample of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients for their gynecological/obstetric history and compare them to controls to determine their influences on number of pregnancies, menarche, menopause and reproductive years following RA onset. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of 122 RA patients and 126 controls. Patients and controls were questioned about age of menarche, age of menopause, number of pregnancies and abortions. Reproductive years were calculated as the difference between age at menopause and age at menarche. For comparison, we used the Mann-Whitney, unpaired t, chi-squared, and Spearman tests. The adopted significance was 5%. Results In the RA patients with disease beginning in the postmenopausal years, the period of reproductive years (age at menopause - age of menarche) showed a positive correlation with age at disease onset (rho=0.46; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.20- 0.55 with p=0.0008). The number of pregnancies was higher in patients with postmenopausal disease onset when compared with those with premenopausal disease onset (median of 3 with interquartile range [IQR]=2-4 versus median of 2 with IQR=1-3; p=0.009), and RA patients had more pregnancies than controls (p=0.0002). Conclusion The present study shows that, in our population, the duration of reproductive years and the number of pregnancies are linked to the onset of RA.

title: Treatment of sanitary sewer and multiple effluent reuse

description: Abstract A synthesis is presented of a four years research project on wastewater treatment, by means of a UASB + BF + polishing ponds system, and reuse in agriculture, aquaculture and animal production. Irrigation of forage crops with UASB + BF effluent and its use for cattle and goat feed did not result in potential human health risks nor in real animal health risks. Polishing ponds were effective in producing effluents in accordance with the WHO guidelines for irrigation and aquaculture, achieving lettuce crops and fish suitable for consumption. The effluents fertilizing potential and nutritional value demonstrate the possibility of their application in productive activities with chemical fertilizers and fodder savings.

title: Development of adult cashew plants in response to irrigation with saline water

description: Abstract Salinity problems are common in arid and semi-arid regions as in Northeast Brazil. In this region a great number of people rely on cashew production as an important source of income. Aiming to study the influence of salinity on growth of dwarf cashew plants, seven years old plants of the clone CCP 76 were irrigated during nine months with water containing different salt levels (EC = 0.5, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 dS m-1). During this period, vegetative growth (plant height and diameter of the canopy), gas exchange (net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration), and leaf K, P, Ca and Na contents were measured. The salinity levels of the irrigation water used in the present study did not affect gas exchange but enhanced vegetative growth of the adult plants. Gas exchange and mineral contents of leaf varied along the experimental period, appearing to result from environmental changes as well as from the physiological age of the sampled leaves. Leaf Na content increased with salinity of the irrigation water, but did not reach the toxicity level for this species.

title: Use of saline water in irrigation of coconut palm (Cocus nucifera L.)

description: Abstract Four experiments were conducted to study the viability of the use of saline waters in the irrigation of the coconut palm, in different cultivation phases. Experiments I and II consisted of respectively the evaluation of the effects of the irrigation with saline waters (ECw = 2.2, 5.0, 10.0 15.0 and 20.0 dS m-1) during germination and initial development of seedlings up to 120 days (Expt I), evaluating later, the behavior of seedlings produced under saline stress conditions after being transplanted and irrigated with water of electrical conductivity of 2,2 dS m-1 in nursery during next 120 days (Expt II). In the Experiment III the growth of seedlings was observed in the nursery, irrigating with saline waters similar Experiment I. In the Experiment IV the effects of electrical conductivity of water (ECw = 0.1, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 dS m-1) were evaluated on the fruit production. Salinity extended the plant germination period and decreased initial growth of plants. Even though salinity showed no effect on fruit production, fruits presented lower mean weight and lower water content, which led to increased soluble solids in the coconut water. Based on these findings, coconut palm can be considered as tolerant plant to salinity water during germination, seedling stage and initial stage of production.

title: PERMEABILITY TO WATER AND VIABILITY IN HETEROMORPHIC COLOR SEEDS OF Bowdichia Virgilioides KUNTH

description: ABSTRACT Species that produce seeds with a rigid integument represent a serious problem because their impermeable coat restricts the entry of water, which makes germination difficult. The heteromorphism of the integument in Bowdichia virgilioides causes water imbibition to vary substantially and, therefore, the objective of this work was to study the relation of seed coat color with permeability and viability in Bowdichia virgilioides. Seeds were separated into five different colors (yellowish-orange, orange, orange/reddish, reddish, and rusty red) and the following parameters were analyzed: water absorption, germination, mortality, viability, synchrony, and maximum potential of germination. The color was a determining factor for most of the evaluated parameters. The seeds with yellowish or orange/reddish coats tend to be little permeable to water while seeds with reddish or rusty red coats are highly permeable. The results indicated that seeds with reddish color had greater physiological potential indicating a probable relationship with the maturation point of the species. However, in the seeds of the species studied, irrespective of coloring, germination was late with low synchrony and low daily seed germination count, typical characteristics of dormancy.

title: Transcultural Adaptation of the Following Affective States Test (FAST) for the Brazilian Context

description: Abstract Individuals differ in their tendency to follow or ignore feelings as a source of information to guide behavior, and it is relevant to examine these particularities. This study presents an assessment of the psychometric properties of the transcultural adaptation of the Following Affective States Test (FAST) for the Brazilian context. After translation and back translation, the adapted version was applied among adult volunteers (n=302), both sexes (208 women, 68.9%), aged between 18 and 61 years old (M=28.6; SD=9.4) along with the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the Brazilian version presented appropriate goodness of fit for the four-factor model (GFI=0.92; CFI=0.83; RMSEA=0.07) with appropriate internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha=0.60-0.72). Statistically significant positive correlations were found between the FAST and positive/negative affects (PANAS) and emotion regulation strategies (ERQ). The adapted version of the FAST presented promising indicators concerning validity and reliability evidence for the Brazilian context.
