title: Women Physicians: Burnout during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil

description: Abstract Background COVID-19 has placed a tremendous burden on physicians worldwide, especially women physicians, affected by increased workload and loss of quality of life. Objective To assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life, burnout and spirituality of Brazilian women physicians directly or indirectly providing care to COVID-19 patients. Methods Prospective, observational study performed from July 28 to September 27, 2020, in Brazil, with women physicians from 47 specialities, the most frequent being cardiology (22.8%), with no age restriction. They voluntarily answered an online survey with questions on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, quality of life (WHOQOL-brief), spirituality (WHOQOL-SRPB), and statements from the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. Statistical analysis used the R software, beta regression, classification trees, and polychoric correlation matrix, with a 5% of significance level. Results Of the 769 respondents, 61.6% reported signs of burnout. About 64% reported wage loss of up to 50% during the pandemic. Some reported lack of energy for daily tasks, frequent negative feelings, dissatisfaction with capability for work, and caring for others not adding meaning to their lives. Negative feelings correlated negatively with satisfaction with sexual life and personal relations, and energy for daily tasks. The inability to remain optimistic in times of uncertainty correlated positively with feeling unsafe daily and not acknowledging that caring for others brings meaning to life. Conclusion This study showed a high frequency of burnout among Brazilian women physicians who answered the survey during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, they presented with a relatively good quality of life and believed that spirituality comforted and reassured them in hard times.

title: Co-52 resistance allele contributes to induce basal defense against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum race 7

description: ABSTRACT The role of the Co-52 and Co-42 alleles in the early activation of bean immunity against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is poorly known. Thus, by using the anthracnose-susceptible Sutagao cultivar and the anthracnose-resistant bean G2333, this study aimed to evaluate the presence of the Co-42 and Co-52 alleles by SCAR markers, as well as their role in the respective defense responses, using histochemical tests and diferential gene expression. The results showed that the Co-52 allele contributes to defense responses against anthracnose, since susceptible beans with the Co-42 allele and without the Co-52 allele decreased both the number of callose deposits and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species at the fungus attack sites. Additionally, for the Sutagao cultivar, there was a late response of defense-related genes such as PR-1, PR-3 and Pv-POD. The Co-52 allele contributes to induce defense mechanisms in the Phaseolus vulgaris and C. lindemuthianum interaction.

title: Evaluation of the biotechnical characteristics of vetiver and paspalum grasses for use in soil reinforcement techniques under erosion threat

description: ABSTRACT Soil erosion on slopes demands the use of techniques that promote soil cohesion, increasing its shear strength, while contributing to the foristic-landscape recovery. This study aimed to analyze the morphological characteristics of vetiver and paspalum grasses, in order to understand their contribution to soil stabilization, under greenhouse conditions. The following parameters were evaluated: plant height; number of tillers per plant; root length, diameter, volume and dry matter. Both species showed similar values for root length and diameter, while the number of tillers per plant was higher for the paspalum grass. Concerning the plant height, no statistical differences were identified, showing that both can promote a good soil cover. The paspalum grass presented a similar performance in several morphometric characteristics, when compared to the vetiver grass, showing a strong potential to be adopted as part of the techniques on the recovery of degraded areas related to soil stabilization.

title: ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURE LEVEL: A FIRMS’ PROACTIVE OR DEFENSIVE POSTURE?

description: ABSTRACT This paper investigated which theory best explains companies’ motivation for environmental disclosure: the image theory (proxy: adherence to the Corporate Sustainability Index - ISE), or the legitimacy theory (proxy: materiality of provisions for environmental damage in the Balance Sheet - MatPA). Listed non-financial Brazilian companies with Environmental Disclosure Score (EDS) available on Bloomberg for the period 2010-2018 were analyzed. The panel data analysis indicated that among non-potentially polluting companies, ISE is significant to explain environmental disclosure and MatPA is not; among potentially polluting firms, MatPA is significant, but ISE is not. This suggests the coexistence of two antagonistic motivations for disclosure: the proactive strategy of creating value and differentiation through environmental disclosure prevails (image theory) in non-potentially polluting companies, whereas potentially polluters primarily adopt a reactive attitude toward disclosure, seeking self-legitimation with stakeholders after causing damage to the environment (legitimacy theory).

title: FORESIGHT CAPABILITY AND MATURITY FOR KNOWLEDGE-INTENSIVE ORGANIZATIONS

description: ABSTRACT The article develops an institutional maturity perspective for foresight capacity building in knowledge-intensive organizations (KIO), as typically embedded in highly demanding dynamics of generation and use of knowledge, which is necessary for constructing comprehensive visions and studying the future. A foresight maturity grid is proposed as structured in five dimensions: people; sophistication of methods, platforms, and infrastructures; the complexity of application areas; organizational structure; and impact on the environment. Described in five maturity levels gradually progressing in organizational capabilities, they constitute an evolutionary logic operatively articulated in processes, projects, and foresight cycles. The resulting grid, conceptually constructed in consideration of other proposals, guides the design and stabilization of foresight systems, forming a basis for the accumulation of organizational learning curves. An application case in a Colombian public KIO provides evidence of its usefulness and applicability in building foresight capabilities.

title: DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS OF AN AUTONOMOUS ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR USE IN FAMILY FARM UNITS

description: ABSTRACT Family farming in Brazil is responsible for the country’s food security, ensuring most of the food consumed by Brazilians. However, the agricultural machinery and equipment industry has not been dedicated to providing innovations to this sector, focusing mainly on supplying large agribusiness properties with the most advanced technology equipment. Thus, the introduction of new technological solutions regarding agricultural machines for family farming is necessary. Considering the need to supply this branch of the Brazilian agricultural sector with new technologies, this study aimed to establish the design specifications of an autonomous electric vehicle that serves as a multifunction platform, which was primarily designed to remove weeds, mainly meeting the needs of family farmers. The product development methodology in its informational phase was applied to obtain and study these needs. As a result, 19 design specifications were established with their associated target values, allowing defining the physical and economic parameters that will be the basis for the development of the autonomous electric vehicle in its conceptual phase.

title: Professor or youtuber? The COVID-19 pandemic, changes in social practice, and the adoption of technologies for distance education

description: Abstract This article discusses the results of a study aiming to understand how the migration from in-person to distance learning due to social distancing practices to contain the COVID-19 pandemic occurred (or has been occurring). The theoretical framework was based on practice theory, and data were obtained through interviews with 12 professors of different Brazilian higher education institutions. The data were analyzed following the principles of French discourse analysis. One of the conclusions is that mastering a certain technology is not enough for an individual to use it in professional activities. The professors interviewed indicated the need to change a few subjective elements, more specifically, modify understandings and the chains of value and projects inherent in the practice of classroom teaching. The research findings contribute to researchers involved in the field of consumption interested in finding out what happens when a group of consumers adopts a new technology during a rupture or uncertain moment. In addition, the results shed light on why some consumers discover the advantages of certain products and technologies without adopting them in daily activities.

title: Urban morphology and peripheral growth in Brazilian Intermediate Cities: geotechnologies and methodological innovations applied to Montes Claros, Minas Gerais

description: Abstract Integrated analysis of urban morphology and functional characteristics allows for a better understanding of the structure and intra-urban dynamics of intermediate cities, indicating a series of elements that demonstrate associations between intra-urban space and the intensity and quality of the relationship of a given centrality with its surroundings. Based on the case study of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, we present a methodological proposal for evaluating morphological and functional aspects of intermediate cities using information from the Demographic Census and other free geospatial datasets (i.e. digital terrain model and satellite images). We identified the spatial distribution of the types of occupation, such as (a) density of residential type buildings, (b) trade and services and (c) under construction. Furthermore, we quantified and evaluated the characteristics (income and age structure) of the expansion vectors of Montes Claros. In Montes Claros, we identified the formation of less developed intra-urban centralities compared to other development hubs in Minas Gerais (Juiz de Fora, Uberlândia, Pouso Alegre, among others). In the city, the concentration of functions in two centralities (the main center and the most prominent subcenter) increases socio-spatial segregation, given the absence of important centralities close to areas with the greatest peripheral growth between 2000 and 2010.

title: Catheter Ablation is Superior to Antiarrhythmic Drugs as First-Line Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

description: Abstract Background Catheter ablation is a well-established therapy for rhythm control in patients who are refractory or intolerant to anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD). Less is known about the efficacy of catheter ablation compared with AAD as a first-line strategy for rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (AF). Objectives We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of catheter ablation vs. AAD in patients naïve to prior rhythm control therapies. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for randomized controlled trials that compared catheter ablation to AAD for initial rhythm control in symptomatic AF and reported the outcomes of (1) recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs); (2) symptomatic AF; (3) hospitalizations; and (4) symptomatic bradycardia. Heterogeneity was examined with I2statistics. P values of &lt; 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results We included five trials with 994 patients, of whom 502 (50.5%) underwent catheter ablation. Mean follow-up ranged from one to five years. Recurrences of AT (OR 0.36; 95% CI 0.25-0.52; p&lt;0.001) and symptomatic AF (OR 0.32; 95% CI 0.18-0.57; p&lt;0.001), and hospitalizations (OR 0.25; 95% CI 0.15-0.42; p&lt;0.001) were significantly less frequent in patients treated with catheter ablation compared with AAD. Symptomatic bradycardia was not significantly different between groups (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.18-1.65; p=0.28). Significant pericardial effusions or tamponade occurred in eight of 464 (1.7%) patients in the catheter ablation group. Conclusion These findings suggest that catheter ablation has superior efficacy to AAD as an initial rhythm control strategy in patients with symptomatic AF.
