title: Do Flow, Enjoyment and Anxiety emerge equally in English Foreign Language Classrooms as in other Foreign Language Classrooms?

description: ABSTRACT The present study focused on differences in intensity of Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE), Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety (FLCA), and proportion of time in a state of flow among 761 English FL learners and 825 FL learners of Languages Other Than English (LOTE). Participants in the LOTE group reported significantly higher levels of FLE and a higher proportion of class time in a state of flow, as well as lower levels of FLCA than the EFL group - although the effect size was very small. This suggests that the global status and prestige of English does not mean that learners around the world enjoy the classes more, spend more time in a state of flow or experience less anxiety. The relationships between FLE, FLCA and proportion of class time in a state of flow were also found to be higher in the LOTE group, suggesting stronger emotional involvement.

title: Supplementary Material for: Triglycerides and Renal Outcomes according to Albuminuria and in Consideration of other Metabolic Syndrome Components in Diabetic US Veterans

description: Objective: Hypertriglyceridemia, a component of the metabolic syndrome, is a known independent predictor of albuminuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population. Previous studies have shown that the relationship of triglycerides with outcomes changes across stages of CKD. Our objective is to examine the association of triglycerides independent of other metabolic syndrome components with renal outcomes in diabetic patients with or without CKD. Research Design and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included diabetic US veteran patients with valid data on triglycerides (TG), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria (UACR), between fiscal years 2004 to 2006. Using Cox models adjusted for clinical characteristics and laboratory markers, we evaluated the relationship of TG with incident albuminuria (stratified by eGFR category) and based on eGFR (stratified by baseline albuminuria categories). To evaluate the relationship of TG with time to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), we stratified models by baseline CKD stage (eGFR category) and baseline albuminuria stage ascertained at time of TG measurement. Results: In a cohort of 138,675 diabetic veterans, the mean±SD age was 65±11 years old, and included 3% females and 14% African Americans. The cohort also included 28% of patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD (eGFR&lt;60 mL/min/173m2), as well as 28% of patients with albuminuria (≥30 mg/g). The median[IQR] of serum TG was 148[100, 222] mg/dL. We observed a slight positive linear association between TG and incident CKD after adjustment for case-mix and laboratory variables among non-albuminuric and microalbuminuric patients. High TG levels were associated with ESRD in CKD 3A non-albuminuric patients and in CKD 3A and 4/5 in patients with microalbuminuria. Conclusions: In a large cohort, we have shown that elevated TG are associated with all kidney outcomes tested independently of other metabolic syndrome components in diabetic patients with normal eGFR and normal albumin excretion rate, but the association is weaker in some groups of diabetic patients with pre-existing renal complications.

title: Myocardial Injury and Prognosis in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in Brazil: Results From The Brazilian COVID-19 Registry

description: Abstract Background Cardiovascular complications of COVID-19 are important aspects of the disease’s pathogenesis and prognosis. Evidence on the prognostic role of troponin and myocardial injury in Latin American hospitalized COVID-19 patients is still scarce. Objectives To evaluate myocardial injury as independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and invasive mechanical ventilation support in hospitalized patients, from the Brazilian COVID-19 Registry. Methods This cohort study is a substudy of the Brazilian COVID-19 Registry, conducted in 31 Brazilian hospitals of 17 cities, March-September 2020. Primary outcomes included in-hospital mortality and invasive mechanical ventilation support. Models for the primary outcomes were estimated by Poisson regression with robust variance, with statistical significance of p&lt;0.05. Results Of 2,925 patients (median age of 60 years [48-71], 57.1% men), 27.3% presented myocardial injury. The proportion of patients with comorbidities was higher among patients with cardiac injury (median 2 [1-2] vs. 1 [0-2]). Patients with myocardial injury had higher median levels of brain natriuretic peptide, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, and C-reactive protein than patients without myocardial injury. As independent predictors, C-reactive protein and platelet counts were related to the risk of death, and neutrophils and platelet counts were related to the risk of invasive mechanical ventilation support. Patients with high troponin levels presented a higher risk of death (RR 2.03, 95% CI 1.60-2.58) and invasive mechanical ventilation support (RR 1.87, 95% CI 1.57-2.23), when compared to those with normal troponin levels. Conclusion Cardiac injury was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation support in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

title: Breastfeeding promotion actions at daycare centers in the city of São Paulo

description: ABSTRACT This study describes the planning, implementation, and monitoring of actions to promote Breastfeeding (BF) in the Municipal Education System of the city of São Paulo. We established a set of four actions: elaboration of instructional material, training of daycare centers employees, development of a communication campaign, and monitoring. Instructional material was elaborated to guide the maintenance of BF after the child’s enrollment and videos were produced to disseminate the information. Annual training in all territories of the city was provided to guide pedagogical interventions. The campaign, called CEI Amigo do Peito, established criteria to recognize daycare centers committed to BF promotion. The number of daycare centers committed to BF went from 93 (2018) to 875 (2022). Electronic form was sent to all daycare centers to evaluate the following indicators: interest of family members in maintaining BF, room available for breastfeeding, development of projects, presence of mothers breastfeeding, and delivery of breast milk. Respondents’ adherence ranged from 40.8% to 50.9%. The results show the urgency of shared responsibility among government sectors to promote BF.

title: Musing over the role of emotions to promote the exodus from the Comfort Zone in English language teaching and learning at a state university in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the development of an empirical study over the Comfort Zone ( 2004; 2006; 2018), shedding light on the role played by emotions in empowering learners to confidently interact in English classes at a public university in Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. The theoretical framework was based on the concept of the Comfort Zone (2004; 2006; 2018); and that of emotions (ARAGÃO, 2004; 2011; BARCELOS, 2018; MATURANA, 2002; ZEMBYLAS 2004; 2018). This qualitative and interpretive study (DENZIN; LINCOLN, 2006; LINCOLN; GUBA, 2006) used an individual questionnaire, field observations, individual participants’ reports of observation of classes and peers’ performance, individual exploratory conversations and an ethnographic group interview (ERICKSON, 1986) for debriefing, and a final individual diary of participants as tools for data collection. Results display a range of emotions impacting learners’ performance in interaction.1

title: Effect of thinning eucalyptus trees on soybean productivity in integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of integrated crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF) systems and the thinning of eucalyptus trees on the agronomical performance of soybean. Treatments consisted of cultivation under: crops under full sunlight (CFS) conditions; ICLF with triple-row tree configuration (ICLFT) in which trees were submitted to selective thinning in the fifth year after planting through removal of 50% of trees while maintaining triple-row bands; and ICLF with single-row tree band configuration (ICLFS) in which the lateral rows of the triple-row tree bands were subjected to systematic thinning at the fourth year after planting. The physiological and agronomical variables of the soybean crop were evaluated at the R5 and R8 reproductive stages during the eighth harvesting season (2018/2019). Soybean sampling was carried out at five random positions in the CFS and in four transects at distances of 3, 6, 10 and 15 m from the tree bands in both the north and south faces of the ICLF systems. There were no differences between soybean grown under the ICLF and CFS systems with respect to specific leaf area, plant density, lodging index and mass of a thousand grains. However, the ICLF increased dry leaf mass and leaf area index and reduced soybean plant heights. Soybean productivity was reduced by 26% in ICLF-T and 14% in ICLF-S, that is, a 12% reduction in the productivity loss with systematic thinning. It is concluded that ICLF reduces soybean productivity in the effective grain production area of the system, regardless of the degree of thinning, although systematic thinning by removing the lateral tree lines to conversion of triple-rows into single-rows minimizes the loss of soybean grain yield.

title: Multitemporal analysis of vegetable coverage in the hydrographic basin of Ceroula stream, Mato Grosso do Sul

description: Abstract: The watersheds comprise a portion of the land surface where the surface waters converge to a river mouth and can be found at various scales and used as planning units. This work aims to discuss the changes in the landscape of the Ceroula Stream Basin in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, through an analysis of the coverage and use of the basin surface in a twenty-nine-year temporal cut. Images from the Landsat 5 TM satellites - August 3, 1987, and August 4, 2005 - and Landsat 8 OLI - August 2, 2016 - were used to obtain the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and later quantification of representative classes of the surface. The results indicate that more than half of the native vegetation cover of the basin was replaced by anthropic activities and that most of the remaining forest biomass is related to gallery forests, while the deforested areas are located in the interfluve and in the surroundings of springs. The process of deforestation in the region may threaten the basin as a source of supply for Campo Grande city, since within it is located the Environmental Preservation Area of Ceroula, created to preserve water resources for urban supply.

title: Energy supplements for beef heifers on cool season pastures - a database analysis

description: ABSTRACT: Pooled data analysis is an analytical method that combines results from multiple studies. This technique provides a more robust estimate of the effects of an investigation. We performed a database analysis from seventeen experiments developed at Federal University of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, between 1999 and 2017 to characterize individual performance per area and stocking rate with or without supplementation of replacement heifers grazing winter pastures. Data were separated into two groups: with and without energy supplement provision, and into five subgroups based on supplement levels. Heifers from both groups were maintained under similar forage biomass and leaf blade allowance. Statistical analyses were run on R software using a ‘meta’ package. Supplement supply increased average daily gain and gain of body condition scores by 11.1% and 20.0%, respectively. Supplement levels higher than 1.2% of body weight resulted in higher weight gain per area, with the stocking rate increasing with higher supplement levels.

title: Experience Tourism: relations between territoriality and local development in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

description: Abstract: Experience Tourism has been provoking new ways of thinking from the perspective of intercultural and multidimensional development processes, especially from the actions of conservation and valorization of local cultures. In this sense, the study aimed to investigate aspects or elements of territoriality and local development in Campo Grande, MS, in search of viable relationships and possibilites for the implementation of this type of tourism. The methodology was based on qualitative research of bibliographic and documentary character. The results demonstrated the local potental beyond traditional tourism, as they also pointed out possibilites to become an experience destination, motivated mainly by the multiculturality of its people, the existing material and intangible heritage, in addition to the tourist attractions identified with the characteristics that advocate this type of interaction, which imprint their territorial dynamics on the local tourist map as an inducing city. Among the activites identified with the research in the Capital, which highlight the elements of the practice of Experience Tourism, the following stand out: Urban Birds Project; craft beer circuit; bird watiching; visit to the Central Fair; visits to museums; walk to the historic center; ecological trails; walks in urban parks; the consumption of tereré drink; visiting the springs of the rivers that cut the city; in addition to listening to the stories told by the residents of Campo Grande, thus contributing to increasing their visibility in the national context, supported even by public tourism policies in all spheres.
