title: Occurrence and distribution of early juvenile land hermit crabs at a small beach on the Boso Peninsula, Japan

description: Abstract The present study was conducted to examine the occurrence and distribution of early juvenile land hermit crabs of the genus Coenobita on a small beach on the Boso Peninsula, Japan as a basis for understanding the important habitats that land hermit crabs use during the sea-to-land transition. The survey sites were supratidal zones at six points with heterogeneous topography, and visual surveys for early juveniles were conducted from middle July to late October in 2015 and 2016. The number of empty gastropod shells in four quadrats along the intertidal zone at each point was also counted in the 2016 survey. The occurrence of early juveniles varied among survey points and was spatially stable for two successive years. The first appearance and abundance of early juveniles varied among survey years. Early juveniles were abundant at points with a gravel bottom throughout the intertidal zone, and empty gastropod shells were also abundant at these points. The abundance of early juveniles was highly correlated with the amount of empty gastropod shells. Thus, our surveys suggested the importance of the sediment types and abundance of empty gastropod shells in the intertidal zones for settlement and landing by land hermit crabs.

title: Detailed description of some mantis shrimp larvae and their implication for the character evolution within Stomatopoda

description: Abstract We present a documentation of the morphological details of two larval stages of mantis shrimps. Documentation was done using the autofluorescence capacities of the cuticle. This is the first time that morphological details of late mantis shrimp larvae are documented in great detail via photography, including all parts of the body up to the proximal elements of the appendages, and not presented as line drawings; it is the second time for mantis shrimp larvae in general. The description is presented as a standardized descriptive matrix. Documentation and description style are adjusted to facilitate comparison with fossil representatives of mantis shrimps, but also their extant counterparts, as well as specimens in the wider framework of Malacostraca and Eucrustacea. Through an exemplary comparison with fossil mantis shrimps, we provide indications about the early evolutionary history of the group. Through an out-group comparison, we identify several possible evolutionary changes of developmental timing, i.e., heterochrony, which could explain some morphological specialisations of mantis shrimps.

title: Population structure of Hepatus pudibundus (Decapoda: Aethridae) off the coast of Sergipe State, northeastern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Shrimp trawling is an important socioeconomic activity but catches a large number of non-target species, including Hepatus pudibundus. This study aimed at assessing the population structure of H. pudibundus, analyzing its sex ratio, length distribution, size at first morphological maturity and biometric relationships, and identifying latitudinal patterns. Four samples of 6 kg (shrimps plus by-catch) were monthly collected in March/2015-May/2016 in Pirambu, Sergipe. Carapace width (CW) and length (LC), and total weight (TW, g) were measured. Sex and stage of morphological maturity were defined. A total of 240 individuals wes collected from all samples and the sex ratio did not differ from 1:1. This was observed in low latitudes, but females dominated in higher latitudes. The carapace width was 20.8-60.1 mm for females and 19.1-60.8 mm CW for males. Larger sizes were observed in higher latitudes. The estimated carapace width-length relationships for females and males were not significantly different (CL=0.6764+0.7390∙CW; sex grouped). The estimated weight-length relationship was TW=0.0004∙CW2.8568 for females and TW=0.0001∙CW3.1225 for males. When compared with previous studies carried out throughout the Brazilian coast, slope values (b) for weight-length relationships were higher for males. The length at first morphological maturity for females and males was 28.9 and 29.6 mm, respectively, the lowest ever recorded for this species, reflecting the occurrence of smaller sizes in lower latitudes. These results are the first obtained for northeastern Brazil.

title: Academic Life Assessment Scale (ALAS): A new factorial structure

description: Abstract The objective of the present study was to give continuity to the validation process of the Academic Life Assessment Scale (ALAS) by verifying its internal structure and the relationship with other related variables. The study involved 580 undergraduate students from two universities in the state of Paraíba, one public and one private. A majority of the participants were male (55%) with an average age of 22 (SD = 4.94) who responded to the ALAS and the Academic Experience Questionnaire - Reduced (AEQ-r). To verify the internal structure of the ALAS, first, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed and, as the structure was not confirmed, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed. After EFA, a three-factor model was found, which presented good reliability, as well as correlation with academic experiences measures. This study contributes to the literature suggesting a new factorial structure for ALAS.

title: Validity Evidences of the Brazilian Version of the Job Crafting Questionnaire

description: Abstract The Job Crafting Questionnaire is a self-report instrument for assessing job crafting, understood as proactive changes conducted by the individual to modify his own work to adjust it to his motivations, skills and values. Its psychometric properties were investigated in two studies, the first with an online sample of 261 adults and the second with 152 adults, employees of a private organization in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. The results of both studies supported the internal structure of the instrument by means of exploratory techniques (exploratory factor analysis and network analysis) and confirmatory factor analysis. The psychometric performance of the scale was satisfactory in both studies regarding the validity and reliability parameters. The primacy of the cognitive dimension of the construct was observed. We concluded that the Job Crafting Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument in the Brazilian context, enabling future research in the area.

title: Tattooed and Non-Tattooed Women: Motivation, Social Practices and Risk Behavior

description: Abstract This study aimed at identifying motivations, risk behavior and social practices, comparing tattooed and non-tattooed women. 316 women (50% tattooed) were surveyed online, answering questions on sociodemographic data, social practices, motivations, and risk behavior. Data collection strategies included snow-balling, social networks, personal contact, and visits to tattoo parlors. The main results indicate that the majority of women express satisfaction with their physical appearance after getting tattooed, and wouldn’t get the tattoo removed. Being tattooed correlated with risk behaviors such as casual sex with unknown people, alcohol and drug use, and psychopathology. The sample presented more similarities than differences between tattooed and non-tattooed groups, suggesting that growing popularization and social acceptance of tattooing has led to a decrease of the differences between the groups. Such results may inform future research and the production of informative materials aimed at demystifying negative stereotypes associated to tattoos.

title: Optimism Scale for adults: Construction and Validation

description: Abstract Optimism consists of positive expectations about the future and persistence in the face of adversities. Due to the theoretical gaps regarding its evaluation at the national level, this research aimed to develop an optimism scale for adults and investigated their psychometric properties. The participants were 555 adults, aged from 18 to 77 years (M = 33.6; SD = 11.5), most of them women (65.4%). After the development of the scale items, the semantic analysis, the analysis by the judges, and the exploratory factorial analysis were performed and reliability was verified. The semantic analysis and the analysis by the judges indicated evidence of validity based on content. The exploratory factorial analysis indicated a two-factor solution, which explained 47.3% of data variance. Cronbach’s alpha values indicated the reliability of the instrument (α = 0.94 - Factor 1 and α = 0.92 - Factor 2). It was concluded that the proposed scale presents evidence of validity based on content, internal structure, and reliability.

title: Eating Disorders and Female Sexuality: Current Evidence-base and Future Implications

description: Abstract This study aimed to examine current scientific production regarding sexuality-related issues in the context of eating disorders (ED). Searches were performed on PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL and PsycINFO, including papers published between 2008 and 2018, using the following descriptors: eating disorders, femininity, sexuality and sexual behavior. Nineteen studies were selected. Findings were systematized into two main thematic categories and showed, in general, that femininity can be a risk factor to the development of ED. Studies indicated that endorsing a gender role that is socially considered discrepant from biological sex, despite feminine or masculine, is related to ED symptomatology. Moreover, body dissatisfaction is positively correlated to sexual dysfunction. Interventions targeting prevention of ED should include sexuality-related issues by approaching probable negative consequences of adhering to female gender role social requirements and stereotypes, especially those related to body weight and body shape.

title: Intact Nuclear Families: Associations between Parental Styles and School Children’s Behavior

description: Abstract Regardless of family configurations, few studies address the concomitant assessment of mothers and fathers regarding their children’s behaviors and parenting practices. The objective was to compare and correlate the assessment of biological mothers and fathers of intact nuclear families on their parental practices and behavioral problems of their school-aged children. Fourth-two intact nuclear families answered to the following instruments: General Questionnaire, Parenting Style Inventory, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and Raven Progressive Matrices Test - Special Scale. The quantitative analysis showed that mothers and fathers presented similar assessments regarding the behavior of their children, though mothers reported more positive practices than fathers. Negative parenting styles were positively correlated with child behavioral problems. These findings contribute to the planning of preventive strategies and interventions directed to families.

title: Organization and practices of pharmaceutical services in oncology within the Brazilian National Health System

description: This study, based on the Giddens’ Structuration Theory, aimed to analyze organization and pharmaceutical services practices for oncology care in five brazilian municipalities by a multiple-case study design, having breast cancer as a marker condition. Oncology care-certified facilities were established as analysis sub-units. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten managers and fifteen health professionals. Research strategy also involved document analysis and direct observation of practices. Results were analyzed according to four main themes: organizational structure, financing, technologies and work process. We found little interaction of pharmaceutical services with levels of care, structural problems within facilities, insufficient funding, belated technology assessment and technology adoption, and shortfalls in work processes. These aspects contribute to precarious functioning of the cancer-care system.
