title: Ultrasound Evaluation of the Cervix to Predict Failed Labor Induction

description: Abstract Objective Labor induction does not always result in vaginal delivery, and can expose both the mother and the fetus to the risks inherent to the induction procedure or a possible cesarean section. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) of the cervix is a useful tool to predict prematurity; in the present study, this tool was used to evaluate postterm induction. Methods We evaluated the ultrasound characteristics of the cervix (cervical length, cervical funneling, internal os dilation, the presence or absence of the cervical gland area [CGA], and the morphological changes of the cervix as a result of applying fundal pressure) before the onset of labor induction among women with postterm pregnancy to identify the possible predictors of failed labor induction. The Bishop score (BS) was used for comparison purposes. Three groups were evaluated: successful versus unsuccessful induction; vaginal delivery versus cesarean delivery (excluding cases of acute fetal distress [AFD]); and vaginal delivery versus cesarean delivery (including cases of AFD). A fourth group including only the primiparous women from the three previous groups was also evaluated. Results Based on the studied characteristics and combinations of variables, a cervical length ≥ 3.0 cm and a BS ≤ 2 were the best predictors of induction failure. Conclusion Although TVS is useful for screening for induction failure, this tool should not be used as an indication for cesarean section.

title: ARTICLE - OPEN-AIR SCHOOL OF SÃO PAULO ESCOLA DE APLICAÇÃO AO AR LIVRE DE SÃO PAULO

description: ABSTRACT: The paper discusses the history of the Open-Air School of São Paulo, a preschool institution created in 1939 inside the Água Branca Park in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Its classes were carried out with portables blackboards and school desks. International, national and local knowledge about open-air institutions that were in circulation in São Paulo in previous years was appropriated for its creation. The school was promoted as a model institution, being used as field of application and internships for students from the Higher School of Physical Education and the Normal School Caetano de Campos. In 1952 the school was transferred to a special building, which ensured the realization of open-air classes. The sources used in this research are newspaper articles from São Paulo’s press, decrees, laws, draft legislation, official reports, books, monographs and journals of education and physical education.

title: ARTICLE - FROM THE GYMNASTICS CENTRAL INSTITUTE (GCI) IN STOCKHOLM TO BRAZIL: CULTIVATION AND SPREADING OF AN EDUCATION OF THE BODY

description: ABSTRACT: This paper presents the results of a research on the Stockholm Gymnastics Central Institute and how the Swedish Gymnastics method was disseminated and cultivated. It shows how the GCI, with its training policies and strategies of action, collaborated to disseminate gymnastics in several countries. It focuses on Brazil, mainly on the different ways by which the method gained visibility: in the pedagogical thinking, in school textbooks and in the presence of Fritjof Detthow, a professor who graduated from the Institute in São Paulo. The study shows that the lingian gymnastics that arrived in Brazil must be taken as a cultural object, as a practice that does not remain pure and that, in its circulation, carries a transformative dimension. The gymnastics that Detthow brought to Brazil has deep relations with the one learned in the Institute, although it became different when in contact with a new cultural and political scenario.

title: ARTICLE - GEORGES HÉBERT AND WOMEN’S PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT: In the book Muscle et beauté plastique (1909), dedicated to young French women, Georges Hébert established the concepts of health, beauty and strength oriented to women’s emancipation by means of his Natural Method. This book was read in Brazil by authors from the field of physical education such as Rangel Sobrinho (1930) and Lotte Kretzschmar (1932), who proposed national methods for “women’s physical education”. This article analyzes the principles of women’s education in Hébert’s work and discusses its reception in Brazil in the 1930s. The sources used comprise Rangel Sobrinho’s and Kretzschmar’s books, Brazilian publications of the period and Hébert’s book Muscle et beauté plastique. We were able to determine that this French work was innovative regarding women’s education for proposing physical and moral emancipation, opposing the wearing of corsets and high heels and advocating equal exercise for men and women. However, the Brazilian works presented limitations regarding women’s training, since the idea of equality was proposed but not actually applied to the training program.

title: Assessment of the dendrochronological potential of Licaria bahiana Kurz, an endemic laurel of lowland Atlantic forests in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil has been considered to have the highest number of tree species per hectare in the world. Assessing the influence of climate on tropical tree species is a priority in the face of ongoing climate change, and for which dendrochronological studies have been important. We address the dendrochronological potential of Licaria bahiana Kurz (Lauraceae), an endemic species of the Atlantic forests. We studied growth ring anatomy of L. bahiana and applied dendrochronological methods to investigate how short-term variation in climate affect its radial growth. Distinct growth rings were observed in all individuals and demarcated by darker tangential fiber zones in latewood. Trees showed high climatic sensitivity (0.48) and growth synchrony (intercorrelation r = 0.69; rbar = 0.38). Radial growth was negatively influenced by high temperatures at the beginning of the current growing season (r = -0.46) and by excessive rainfall at the end of the current growing season (r = -0.29), which are periods that correspond to the phenological reproductive phases of the species. Climate anomalies during this period may alter the tradeoff between growth and reproduction, in favor of the latter.

title: ARTICLE - HEBERTIST PALESTRA: PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN, LEISURE AND NATURAL LIFESTYLE

description: ABSTRACT: Education and leisure are at times considered contradictory, at times complementary concepts. Pedagogues who pioneered new education methods in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s, such as Maria Montessori or Célestin Freinet, embraced the two. This is also the case for the Palestra, a training centre created in 1918 by the French naval commander Georges Hébert (1875-1957) (DELAPLACE, 2005; PHILIPPE-MEDEN, 2015). The Palestra is considered the “flagship” of what was called “Méthode naturelle d’éducation physique, virile et morale”, a natural method that combined training of physical capacities, courage and morality (HÉBERT, 1941), developed by Georges Hébert between 1903 and 1904 at the battalion of marine fusiliers of Lorient. This method was the reference for ministerial directions on physical education in France in 1923, 1941 and in 1959 (TENÈZE, PACQUELIN, ANDRIEU, 2018). However, as the Palestra was situated among mundane holiday resorts on the coast in Normandy, which was dotted with casinos and theaters, this institution for the Hebertist natural method has hardly been studied (PHILIPPE-MEDEN, 2014), which may lead to approximation issues and misunderstandings. Based on a descriptive analysis of the Palestra, we will show how a holistic, innovative pedagogy was developed combining physical education, leisure and a natural lifestyle and how it will contribute to a radical change not only in body exercise techniques for women, but also the imagery of women between the two world wars in France.

title: School Experiences and Autism Spectrum Disorder: What Do Children Say?

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed at investigating the conceptions of children with typical development about their school experiences in contexts of inclusion of classmates with Autism Spectrum Disorder - ASD at two different moments, at the beginning and at the end of the school year, in order to verify possible changes over these conceptions as from the peers’ contact with ASD. As many as 42 children aged 4-5 years old took part, from two child education institutions in the city of João Pessoa, state of Paraíba, Brazil, who had classmates in their classrooms diagnosed with ASD. Semi-structured interviews were applied with children with typical development, which were transcribed and analyzed using Bardin’s content analysis technique. As results, the children mentioned positive adjectives when describing their daycare, teacher, and peers, both at the beginning and at the end of the school year. It was also common for children to describe the daycare in terms of the activities they performed in their routine, and the people, in relation to their behaviors. As classmates with whom the children did not play, those with typical development that presented aggressive behaviors were mentioned. About their classmates with ASD, they were considered by their peers as favorite classmates, also highlighting the use of the terms “special” or “baby” to characterize them, and the fact that over time they became viewed from their capacities and interests. Lastly, the importance of studying school inclusion from the perspective of children is discussed.

title: Analysis of compliance to antiretroviral treatment among patients with HIV/AIDS

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the compliance to antiretroviral therapy among HIV/AIDS patients. Method: 99 HIV-positive volunteers undergoing treatment responded to a semi-structured sociodemographic interview and to a questionnaire that assessed compliance to antiretroviral treatment. Results: In the sample analyzed, 52.5% of the volunteers presented good/adequate treatment compliance, while 33.3% presented low/insufficient compliance. There was no significant difference between men and women in the questionnaire score, nor between groups with different levels of education. Conclusion: The main items of the questionnaire that contributed to good/adequate compliance were: positive impact of treatment on health and quality of life, few side effects after initiation of therapy, and positive self-evaluation of participants regarding their compliance to antiretroviral therapy. The main barriers detected for compliance to antiretroviral therapy were the lack of knowledge about current medications and the lack of information on antiretroviral therapy drugs.

title: Can the strategies for endoparasite control affect the productivity of lamb production systems on pastures?

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity and carcass traits of unweaned Suffolk lambs finished on pasture and subjected to three strategies for endoparasite control: prophylactic treatment of all animals every 28 days; treatment of animals with a cut off number of nematode fecal egg count (FEC) ≥ 700; and treatment of animals using the FAMACHA scores ≥ 3. Average daily weight gain (ADG) and FEC were evaluated every 14 days for 112 days. Body condition scores and carcass characteristics were assessed before and after slaughter, respectively. Animal productivity was calculated based on animal stocking rate, ADG, and weight variation per area. Animal productivity, pasture, and carcass characteristics did not differ among strategies of parasite control. Parasite control strategies did not affect the productivity of lambs on pasture or carcass characteristics. Thus, the use of selective treatments can be considered advantageous due to decreased selection pressure for resistant parasite populations and lower use of drugs.

title: Different Strategies to Anchor Organotin Methoxides on Silica and Their (Re)Use as Heterogeneous Catalysts for Transesterification Reactions

description: Catalysts were prepared by the heterogenization of the tributyltin(IV) methoxide (n-Bu3Sn(OMe)) and dibutyltin(IV) dimethoxide (n-Bu2Sn(OMe)2) on silica by two strategies: (i) anchoring of the organotin(IV) compounds on silica and (ii) anchoring of the organotin(IV) compounds on a silica gel functionalized with mercaptopropyl groups (SiO2–SH). The characterization results showed that, regardless of the method used to anchor the organotin species, the solids contained approximately 7-10% of Sn. The decrease or disappearance of the O–H and S–H stretching signals in the SiO2 and SiO2–SH spectra after the treatment with the organotin(IV) methoxide derivatives suggest the immobilization via O–Sn or S–Sn covalent bonds. The catalytic performance was evaluated in methanolysis of ethyl acetate, in comparison to the analogous homogeneous systems, and the order of reactivity is n-Bu2Sn(OMe)2 &gt; n-Bu3Sn(OMe) &gt; SiO2–SnBu2 &gt; SiO2–S–SnBu2 &gt; SiO2–SnBu3 &gt; SiO2–S–SnBu3. The solids on which the organotin species were directly immobilized on activated SiO2 showed catalytic efficiencies slightly higher than those immobilized on thiol-functionalized silica. All of the solid catalysts were recovered and reused for recycling studies and characterized again after the reuse tests. A better interaction between n-Bu3Sn(OMe) and both supports was observed, as verified by the low leaching of Sn after the first catalytic reaction.

title: Instruments for quality of life assessment in individuals with human papillomavirus

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To identify scientific evidence on quality of life measurement instruments used in individuals with infections caused by human papillomavirus. Method: This was an integrative review carried out from April 1995 to March 2017 in the LILACS, SciVerse Scopus, ISI Web of Science, CINAHL, and PubMed databases. The controlled descriptors adopted were: Infecções por Papilomavirus; Qualidade de Vida; Papillomavirus Infections; and Quality of Life. Results: Of the 416 articles found, 12 were selected. Thirteen different types of instruments to evaluate the quality of life of individuals with human papillomavirus were identified, in that nine were generic and four specific. Conclusion: Different generic and specific instruments were used to evaluate the quality of life of individuals with human papillomavirus, which means no consensus or preference among the studies was identified. However, a lack of use of specific instruments to evaluate this construct in this population was observed.

title: Construction and Evaluation of a Graphene Oxide Functionalized Aminopropyltriethoxy Silane Surface Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Potentiometric Sensor for Dipyridamole Detection in Urine and Pharmaceutical Samples

description: A dipyridamole (DIP) based surface molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized and applied as a sensing agent in a sensing layer of a new modified potentiometric carbon paste electrode (CPE). The potentiometric modified CPEs (GO@SiO2-NH2-MIP/MWCNTs/CPE, where GO is graphene oxide and MWCNTs is multi-walled carbon nanotubes) showed an improved performance in term of Nernstian slope, selectivity and response time compared to the unmodified CPE. The response time of the sensor in the range of 2.5 × 10-8-1.1 × 10-2 M DIP was 20 s. The obtained DIP sensor showed low limit of detection (1 × 10-8 M), and satisfactory long-term stability (higher than 4 months). The practical application of the sensor was demonstrated by the determination of DIP concentration in urine samples and pharmaceutical preparations, with good precision and acceptable recoveries (96.0-103.0%). The prepared sensor showed high selectivity for DIP over a number of common species (aspirin, caffeine, ascorbic acid, glucose, urea, bipyridine, Na+, Fe3+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and K+).
