title: Inequality in iron sulfate supplementation among pregnant women in Southern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: Introduction: The use of ferrous sulfate is recommended for all pregnant women from the 20th week of gestation to the 3rd month after delivery. Objective: To evaluate the coverage of ferrous sulfate among pregnant women and differentials according to demographic and socioeconomic variables. Method: A cross-sectional population-based study with women who had children in Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from January 1st to December 31st, 2013. Ferrous sulfate coverage was assessed according to maternal age, schooling, family income, and type of prenatal care. Statistical analysis included Pearson’s χ2 test and Poisson regression. Results: 2,685 postpartum women (97% of the total) were interviewed and the ferrous sulfate coverage was 63%. The largest relative differences were between the extreme maternal schooling groups (50%) and the type of medical care in prenatal care (72%). Women aged between 13 and 19 years were significantly associated with the use of supplement (RP = 1.16; 95%CI 1.08 - 1.25) when compared to women aged ≥ 30 years. Those who used the public service in prenatal care were more strongly associated with the outcome when compared to those who used the private system (PR = 1.61; 95%CI 1.49 - 1.74). Conclusion: Considering that there are unusual situations in the health sector in which disadvantaged groups are privileged, these findings are rare and indicate the presence of inequality in a way that is opposite to what was expected. The supplement should consider all women, especially older women, with higher education and better socioeconomic status.

title: Application of the hypercube model with queue priorities and more than one preferential server: a case study on a SAMU

description: Abstract The study of EMS aims to find ways to provide effective health services and improve the quality of life of the population while respecting the limitations of available resources. In this context, this paper aims to show the potential of application of the hypercube queueing model using queue priorities with more than one preferential server without using partial backup on SAMU, where the workload is relatively low. To do so, were done some experiments with the hypercube queueing model and future scenario prospection by a case study on the SAMU system from Bauru, Brazil. It was evaluated the impacts of demand increase over the system and the acquisition of a new ambulance was evaluated considering the best options to locate it. Main results show that a 50% demand increase can double mean response times. In contrast, minor increases have a smaller impact over the system, as observed on 5.71% and 13.57% demand increases, where the mean response times raised 5% and 16% respectively. The acquisition of a new ambulance was evaluated in terms of mean response times also. The best location had a 3% lower mean response time, on average.

title: ‘ROCHA’ PEARS STORED UNDER CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE WITH ULTRA-LOW AND LOW O2 ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT CO2 LEVELS

description: ABSTRACT The storage of ‘Rocha’ pears under controlled atmosphere (CA) preserves fruit quality for long periods. However, inadequate CA conditions might impair ripening and lead to flesh browning. This research was carried out to assess the effects of CA with ultra-low (ULO), and low O2 (LO) associated with different CO2 levels on ripening and occurrence of flesh browning in ‘Rocha’ pears. Treatments evaluated were: pO2 = 0.5 kPa (ULO) and pCO2 &lt; 0.03 kPa; pO2 = 1.0 kPa (LO) and pCO2 &lt; 0.03 kPa; pO2 = 1.0 kPa and pCO2 = 1.0 kPa; pO2 = 1.0 kPa and pCO2 = 2.0 kPa; and pO2 = 1.0 kPa and pCO2 = 3.0 kPa. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with four replicates. Fruits were harvested in Vacaria, RS, and stored under five CA conditions during 270 days (-0.5±0.1 ºC and relative humidity of 96±2%). Fruits were assessed after CA storage for respiratory rate, ethylene production, skin color, flesh firmness, texture, titratable acidity (TA), soluble solids content (SSC), sensory attributes, flesh browning incidence and severity and flesh color. Fruits stored under LO with pCO2 &lt; 0.03 kPa had higher flesh firmness and more yellow skin color than fruits stored under other CA conditions. Sensory attributes, SS and TA of fruits were not affected by CA conditions. Fruit stored under LO with pCO2 = 3.0 kPa had the highest incidence (48%) and severity of flesh browning. The pO2 = 0.5 kPa and pCO2 &lt; 0.03 kPa and pO2 = 1.0 kPa and pCO2 = 1.0 kPa conditions are the most suitable for the CA storage of ‘Rocha’ pears.

title: Scientific inquiry to the first year of elementary school: an articulation between students' speeches and graphical representations

description: Abstract: Student's graphic representations must be analyzed based on evidences and represent one of the ways of communication in the classroom. With qualitative approach and a case study perspective, an Inquiry-Based Teaching Sequence (IBTS) was structured for the students of 1st year of elementary school. At the end of classes, students had developed graphic representations, analyzed from a categorization process. These drawings, in association with the student's speech, had been able to communicate activities, concerning both the studied living being and the materials used in the inquiry-based process. The skills used by the students in their graphic representations are necessary tools for the engagement with scientific culture. Therefore, it is believed that the preparation of drawings, as a way to record, must be encouraged from the early years of the elementary school, leading to the building of new concepts and the growing engagement in scientific literacy.

title: Evaluation of anaerobic threshold in non-pregnant and pregnant rats

description: ABSTRACT Several studies present different methodologies and results about intensity exercise, and many of them are performed in male rats. However, the impact of different type, intensity, frequency and duration of exercise on female rats needs more investigation. From the analysis of blood lactate concentration during lactate minimum test (LacMin) in the swimming exercise, the anaerobic threshold (AT) was identified, which parameter is defined as the transition point between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. LacMin test is considered a good indicator of aerobic conditioning and has been used in prescription of training in different exercise modalities. However, there is no evidence of LacMin test in female rats. The objective was to determine AT in non-pregnant and pregnant Wistar rats. The LacMin test was performed and AT defined for mild exercise intensity was from a load equivalent to 1% of body weight (bw), moderate exercise as carrying 4% bw and severe intensity as carrying 7% bw. In pregnant rats, the AT was reached at a lower loading from 5.0% to 5.5% bw, while in non-pregnant the load was from 5.5% to 6.0% bw. Thus, this study was effective to identify exercise intensities in pregnant and non-pregnant rats using anaerobic threshold by LacMin test.

title: Care provided by the father to the child with cancer under the influence of masculinities: qualitative meta-synthesis

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To synthesize and interpret findings and conclusions of qualitative research addressing the experience of the father in the care of the child with cancer. Method: Meta-synthesis of 16 qualitative studies from six databases, analyzed through taxonomic analysis. Results: Child and adolescent cancer have several repercussions on the daily life of the father, especially related to the stigma around the disease, the fear of the unknown and the social and family role. Faced with the illness and the need to care for the child, the father seeks to recover normality in the family and transitions between hegemonic masculine behaviors and practices culturally recognized as female. Final Considerations: The complex experience of the father, influenced by masculinities, was evidenced. The limitations regard the restricted understanding of the contextual specificities of the experiences, due to the limited characteristics of the parents and children described in the studies. The knowledge produced is useful to promote involvement of fathers in the care of the child, as well as to strengthen and assist him in this task.

title: Photovoice as a listening mode: subsidies for the promotion of equity

description: Abstract Health Promotion observations of patients from a Rehabilitation Center in rural São Paulo evidenced that these people faced difficulties in dealing with their physical limitations when these prevented them from working. This study aimed to broaden listening methods to facilitate dialogue with people in situations of physical frailty and removal from their work activities, using Photovoice, a participatory research-action method, as a tool and Health Promotion's theoretical framework. Images captured and reports that accompanied them consisted of the material of this study. Two thematic categories stood out: the expert decision; and physical condition: vanity, power and hope. Labor activity is perceived as a determinant of individuals’ introduction in their environment and defines their role in the family and in the social field. Faced with disability, they feel deprived of their identity, vulnerable and without future prospects of social reintegration, an individual and familiar misfit process, but without social visibility and with negative consequences for global health is observed. Photovoice proved to be effective in apprehending perceptions and stimulating debate, providing essential inputs to promote equity in socially disadvantaged groups.

title: 6-Gingerol inhibits hair cycle via induction of MMP2 and MMP9 expression

description: ABSTRACT 6-Gingerol is the major active constituent of ginger. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of 6-Gingerol on hair growth. Mice were randomly divided into five groups; after hair depilation (day 0), mice were treated with saline, or different concentrations of 6-Gingerol for 11 days. The histomorphological characteristics of the growing hair follicles were examined after hematoxylin and eosin staining. The results indicated that 6-Gingerol significantly suppressed hair growth compared with that in the control group. And choose the concentration of 6-Gingerol at 1 mg/mL to treated with mice. Moreover, 6-Gingerol (1 mg/mL) significantly reduced hair re-growth ratio, hair follicle number, and hair follicle length, which were associated with increased expression of MMP2 and MMP9. Furthermore, the growth factors, such as EGF, KGF, VEGF, IGF-1 and TGF-β participate in the hair follicle cycle regulation and regulate hair growth. We then measured the concentrations of them using ELISA assays, and the results showed that 6-Gingerol decreased EGF, KGF, VEGF, and IGF-1 concentrations, and increased TGF-β concentration. Thus, this study showed that 6-Gingerol might act as a hair growth suppressive drug via induction of MMP2 and MMP9 expression, which could interfere with the hair cycle.

title: A woman in her time: science, art and education in a life path

description: ABSTRACT Seomara da Costa Primo (Lisbon, 1895 - Amadora, 1986) was a science university professor and a high school teacher. She was a distinguished researcher, textbook author and illustrator. She was also part of teaching associations, was once part of the press and did study missions abroad. She was a woman of her day, an intellectual that defended the active role of women in society and fought for her education, empowering herself in a men’s world. Her life path demonstrates that she was part of some reference institutions of the time and dialogued in significant arenas of debate, asserting herself as a personality who also circulated internationally in scientific missions. The penumbra in which her name and life have been kept must be illuminated by re-placing her in the gallery of illustrious women who represent a time and a way of occupying the public space and put the teaching profession forward.

title: QUALITY OF SLEEP, CHRONOTYPE AND PERFORMANCE IN STREET RUNNERS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Low-power laser therapy has among its aims to aid the recovery of biological tissues, attenuating the effects of muscle fatigue and contributing to the improvement of performance in athletes. Methodological aspects still limit the conclusions of the acute effect of laser therapy on muscular performance. Objective: To verify the acute effect of low-power therapeutic laser in the induced fatigue in biceps brachii of volleyball athletes. Methods: This was a randomized double-blind study, approved by Institutional Review Board of UNESP, Marília. Nineteen volleyball athletes of both sexes participated in this study. Electromyographic data were collected from the biceps brachii muscle in isometric exercise of the elbow flexion before and after the application of the therapeutic laser. A dumbbell with 75% of the force peak, obtained by a load cell, was used for the fatigue protocol. The volunteers then underwent laser (active or placebo) application on six points of the biceps brachii muscle. The EMG data were analyzed in the frequency domain using the Myosystem ®software. The distribution of normality was verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test, and repeated measures ANOVA (split plot) was used to test the interaction between time and group. Results: No significant interaction between group and time was observed for any analyzes variables, indicating that the irradiated group did not show advantages over the placebo group. Conclusion: After the proposed fatigue protocol, a single low-power laser application was not sufficient to produce positive effects on strength performance and on the electromyographic signal of the biceps brachii muscle of volleyball athletes.
