title: Study of Manganese Laurate as Adsorbing Matrix for Undecan-2-one: Factors Affecting Adsorption for Application in Controlled-Release of Pheromones

description: One of the greatest challenges faced by agriculture is the use of agrochemicals and the balance between food production and environmental problems associated with the excessive use of these substances. To overcome this issue, pheromones have been used to trap pests that harm crops. This work reports the use of a layered monocarboxylate, manganese laurate (MnL2), as adsorbing matrix for undecan-2-one (methyl nonyl ketone (MNK)), one of the components of the pheromone of the insect Lobiopa insularis, which is a pest in the strawberry cultivar. The manganese laurate was synthesized by a coprecipitation method and was later characterized using X-ray diffractometry, vibrational spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The characterization techniques showed that MNK was adsorbed in the manganese laurate structure in a range of 0.08 to 1.13 mg g-1, and this interaction was investigated in a factorial design experiment, in which the variables temperature, time of contact, and matrix:MNK ratio were investigated. A negative effect of increasing temperatures was observed and attributed to substrate volatilization. The adsorption was favored in increasing molar ratios and times of contact, and ideal conditions for the adsorption could be found, indicating that manganese laurate could be applied in controlled-release tests.

title: The Pfister Test in Psychological Assessment for Firearm Handling

description: Abstract As there are few Pfister Test studies in the context of assessment for handling a firearm, the objective was to describe the personality characteristics of security guards and candidates for handling firearms (n= 112) when compared with people from the general population (n= 288). The data collection instruments were a questionnaire to collect sociodemographic information and the Pfister Test. For data analysis, nonparametric tests and multiple linear regression analysis were used. Candidates for handling weapons showed characteristics of more rigidity, anxiety and immaturity with a predisposition to be more oppositional and ambivalent in relation to their feelings. There is also a need for further studies with more comprehensive and diversified samples.

title: Water-in-Oil Pickering Emulsions Stabilized by Divalent Metal Phenylphosphonate Particles

description: Phenylphosphonates of zinc (Zn-PPh), calcium (Ca-PPh) and magnesium (Mg-PPh) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Samples showed characteristic X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of layered compounds with basal spacing in the range of 14-15 Å. According to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), all compositions showed the presence of characteristic bands attributed to phenyl aromatic rings, phosphonate and lattice metal-oxygen (M-O) vibrations. Different concentrations of phenylphosphonate particles were applied to stabilize water-in-oil Pickering emulsions using vaseline oil in different w/o fractions. The three particle types showed greater affinity for the oil phase (wettability) and the ability to stabilize the emulsions via the Pickering effect. Ca-PPh particles contained a greater emulsified fraction after 20 days of evaluation. This result can be attributed to the particle morphology observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fibrous morphology of Ca-PPh particles is believed to increase the steric hindrance effect at the surface around the droplets, while the Zn-PPh and Mg-PPh layered particles tended to form clusters.

title: “Ibirapuera, the broken dream”: the Gymnasium, the Velodrome, and the failure of the sports calendar at the IV Centenary of the city of São Paulo’ celebrations (1954)

description: ABSTRACT This article analyzes the history of the sports calendar, organized as part of the festivities of the IV Centenary of the city of São Paulo, and the difficulties and mistakes that hampered the construction and inauguration of the Ibirapuera’ Gymnasium and Velodrome, central buildings within the celebration plan. Scarcely studied, this program of activities crystallized a phase of internationalization of sports in São Paulo and required the construction of a series of sports buildings for the city, which would serve as venues for international sport tournaments of diver modalities throughout 1954. The article discusses the interests of various agents from the sports industry and sports associations in São Paulo in promoting the construction of the buildings that would hold the tournaments and the difficulties that the IV Centenary Organization Commission faced, alongside the public power, to fulfill the commitments of building the sports facilities and organizing the tournaments. Paying attention to problems of financing and management of the construction phases, the article explains why the sports festivities commemorating the 400th anniversary of the city would end up being a failure. The work provides new readings for the analysis of the general framework of the celebrations held in 1954, and seeks to contribute to the knowledge of the histories of São Paulo’s sporting heritage, the public investments in the city, and the right to leisure in Brazil.

title: Mental Health Profiles of University Students and Associated Life Habits

description: Abstract We sought to investigate the mental health profile of university students and possible individual aspects, life habits and associated academic experiences. 844 students were included, predominantly female with a mean age of 22.57 years, who answered a socioeconomic and life habits questionnaire and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. Cluster and multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed. Three profiles were identified: students with good, moderate and poor mental health. Married or single students, from exact sciences, who studied in a public university and did not work, with low alcohol consumption were more likely to have a good mental health. Understanding the association of life habits and academic experiences with different profiles is relevant to develop interventional strategies with this public.

title: Unplanned pregnancy in Brazil: national study in eight university hospitals

description: ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of unplanned pregnancy in eight public university hospitals, distributed in the five regions that make up Brazil. METHODS A secondary analysis of a national multicenter cross-sectional study, carried out in eight public university hospitals between June 1 and August 31, 2020, in Brazil. Convenience sample including women who gave birth within sixty consecutive days and met the following criteria: over 18 years old; gestational age over 36 weeks at delivery; with a single and live newborn, without malformations. RESULTS Sample composed of 1,120 postpartum women, of whom 756 (67.5%) declared that the pregnancy had not been planned. The median prevalence of unplanned pregnancy was 59.7%. The prevalence of unplanned pregnancy across hospitals differed significantly: Campinas (54.8%), Porto Alegre (58.2%), Florianópolis (59%), Teresina (61.2%), Brasília (64.3%), São Paulo (64.6%), Campo Grande (73.9%) and Manaus (95.3%) (p &lt; 0.001). Factors significantly associated with unplanned pregnancy were maternal age, black color, lower family income, greater number of children, greater number of people living in household, and not having a partner. CONCLUSION In the studied sample, about two thirds of the pregnancies were declared as unplanned. The prevalence of unplanned pregnancies was related to social and demographic factors and varied significantly across the university hospitals evaluated.

title: Memories of the experience of visitors to the Museu da Natureza (Piauí, Brazil): a study two years after the visit

description: ABSTRACT Science museums are dynamic spaces in which scientific culture is associated with the culture of the visiting subjects and which have the potential to evoke memories in their visitors in the form of memories and affective recollections. In this study, we investigated the memories of the experience of eight adult visitors two years after their visit to the Museu da Natureza, in the Serra da Capivara National Park Piauí. The methodology involved semi-structured interviews, including the verbalization of spontaneous memories and the use of the stimulated recall method. The results showed several memory events of episodic (chronological recall of events) and semantic nature (associated with facts, concepts, words and their meanings), emotional involvement and reinterpretations of the experience previously lived in a science museum.

title: The influence of clear-cut area size on forest regrowth: a case study in the dry tropical forests of Pernambuco, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Background: Managed Caatinga forests in Northeast Brazil are an important source of wood products, however, successful regeneration and regrowth is important to guarantee sustainability in these forests. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the natural regeneration and forest regrowth ability of a Caatinga forest under varying clear-cut treatments, as well as to estimate the recovery time of stand parameters. Results: An experiment was set up in Petrolina, Pernambuco state, Brazil, comparing five clear-cut strip widths: 0, 40, 60, 80 and 100 meters. Forest inventory data was gathered before and eight years after harvesting in 19 plots of 10 x 40 m. Tree seedling regeneration (individuals with circumference at breast height &lt; 6 cm and minimum height of 0.5 m) was also monitored in 5 x 5 m sub plots, before harvesting, one, three and eight years after harvesting. Conclusions: No influence of the clear-cut strip width on regeneration and forest regrowth ability was detected, with all treatments presenting similar growth and tree species diversity and similarity values. The estimated growth rates of the clear-cut plots were of 0.12 m2·ha-1·year-1 and 0.39 m3·ha-1·year-1 for basal area and volume, respectively, resulting in recovery times of 35 and 49 years, longer than the 15 years cycles generally adopted in Caatinga forest management plans.

title: Forensic Psychological Assessment of Parental Alienation: The Jurist’s View

description: Abstract A qualitative study of legal practitioners’ perceptions of the role of forensic psychologists in proceedings involving parental alienation (PA) is presented. Data on 71 legal practitioners in the state of Mato Grosso/Brazil were collected via online survey and then subjected to quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results focus on the performance of Mato Grosso psychologists, acting as accredited service providers, in terms of their technical capacity for PA certification, in support of the judicial decision and protection of the child, adolescent and family. AP verification involves a complex psychological assessment, requiring specialist training and excellent technical and personal skills of the psychologists involved. Suggestions to improve praxis include more professionals, better logistical and technical conditions, and an interdisciplinary and ethical approach.
