title: Are recaptures of banded birds efficient at detecting altitudinal migrations in the Atlantic Forest?

description: ABSTRACT Altitudinal migration in birds comprises seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas in mountainous regions, attributed to biotic and abiotic factors. Different authors have suggested the existence of altitudinal migration between high and low areas of the mountains of the Atlantic Forest, with movement from high to low during the winter when birds would be fleeing the cold and in search of food, but there is no documented evidence. Through recaptures of understory birds, we investigated possible altitudinal migration in a region of the Atlantic Forest in Southeast Brazil. Twenty mist-nets were set at four locations between 15 and 729 m a.s.l. during 143 days of field work, distributed over 54 months and covering all seasons of the year. A total of 1946 birds (98 species) were captured/banded with 558 being recaptured (28.6%; 45 species). However, only 42 of the recaptures were at a different elevation. Most of the movements were of short distances and performed only once by birds, showing no seasonal pattern. These movements may be better interpreted as daily movements undertaken by birds of mixed-species flocks looking for food or moving around their respective home-ranges. Our results show that mist-nets may not be an effective tool in detecting altitudinal movements of birds and that other methods should be evaluated for this purpose.

title: Investimento estrangeiro direto: Greenfield, por fusões e aquisições, volatilidade e seus efeitos no crescimento econômico brasileiro

description: Resumo Neste artigo avaliamos os efeitos do investimento estrangeiro direto (IDE) no crescimento econômico brasileiro entre 1996 e 2018, considerando três aspectos: as condições locais do Brasil; as duas modalidades de IDE, que são via greenfield e por fusões e aquisições (F&As); e sua volatilidade. Para cumprir esse objetivo, utilizamos o modelo econométrico SVAR. Os resultados mostram que o IDE sozinho não influencia o crescimento brasileiro. No entanto, as condições locais potencializam seus efeitos positivos. Adicionalmente, verificamos que o IDE via greenfield exerce impacto positivo no crescimento brasileiro. Por outro lado, os efeitos do IDE por F&As e da volatilidade do IDE são nulos.

title: CURRICULUM POLICIES AND THEIR ARTICULATIONS ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF A MORE DEMOCRATIC EDUCATION

description: ABSTRACT: By focusing on curricular policies for basic education, this article aimed at bringing to the academic debate sphere questions related to the Brazilian National Core Curriculum (BNCC) and the Curricular Referential of Rio Grande do Sul (RCG) and, subsequently, its influences on the Curricular Guiding Document of a City Territory (DOCT-SL/RS). Based on a qualitative approach that uses document analysis associated with the Social Media Analysis method, this study revealed that the participation of civil society and school communities in the curricula policies production is limited to some representations and public consultations. Results also indicate that the BNCC as a macro strategy constitutes a document that has an excessively prescribing and operational nature and, thus, is limited for its explicitness and restricted as to the outlining of guidelines for its unfolding at state and city levels. From an attentive reading of the RCG, it was possible to infer that it is a pedagogical proposal centered around developing competencies with more conceptual expression in the BNCC than in the city document itself. The results of this study also identified the existence of aspects that do not comply with the collaboration regimen to elaborate and produce texts of the mentioned documents revealing the lack of articulation between state and city processes, highlighting the lack of participation, throughout the writing of these texts, of both federative entities and other representative actors of civil society and school communities.

title: VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT TRAINING EFFECT ON DYNAMIC AND STATIC STABILITY AMONG ATHLETES FROM RANDOM INTERMITTENT DYNAMIC TYPE SPORTS

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the aftereffect of a six-week virtual reality environment training on dynamic and static postural stability in athletes participating in random intermittent dynamic type sports. The pretest and posttest study designs were chosen to conduct this study. Twenty-four male athletes were selected for the study. Participants participated in a six-week virtual reality environment training program three times a week for a session of forty-five minutes. The virtual reality environment was created using CAREN's integrated virtual reality system with Motek's D-flow application. The postural stability was assessed using a stadiometer. Assessments were performed before and after six weeks of training. A paired sample t-test was used to determine differences between pretest and posttest outcome measures. The improvement can be seen as an effect of virtual reality environment training intervention. Statistically significant differences were observed between pretest and posttest for dynamic and static anteroposterior and mediolateral postural stability at 20 and 40 levels of difficulty. The virtual reality environment training helps to improve performance by assessing and optimizing the training load in the process of improving the performance of athletes participating in random intermittent dynamic type sports.

title: EXPANSION OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND CAREER CONSTRUCTION: MULTI-CASE STUDY WITH UNDERGRADUATES

description: ABSTRACT The expansion of higher education in Brazil in recent decades has produced distinct and heterogeneous contexts, contributing to the change in the sociodemographic profile of students. Within the scope of studies on career construction in higher education and based on the Life Designing model, this investigation examined the process of career construction of undergraduates from public institutions in Alto Uruguai gaúcho, a region affected by the expansion and establishment of universities in the interior of the states of Brazil. This is a multiple case study with six undergraduates who showed different levels of career adaptability. Based on the emerging categories of analysis, the results indicated that the proximity of Higher Education institutions, the family context, the need to reconcile study and work and the perspective of social mobility associated with the transition to adulthood are relevant themes in the process of participants’ career construction, highlighting the importance of public policies for higher education.

title: Distribution and antifungal susceptibility of Candida species isolated from clinical samples in southern Brazil

description: Abstract Invasive infections caused by Candida species have been strongly associated with poor prognosis and high resistance rates to some antifungals. This study aimed to identify Candida species isolated from different anatomical sites and to describe their susceptibility profile to antifungals. Ninety-four clinical isolates of Candida were obtained from a Medical Laboratory of Santa Catarina/Brazil. Species identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS. Susceptibility assays were performed as described by Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) microboth method. Among the analyzed samples, C. albicans was the pathogen most incident (59.9%) followed by C. parapsilosis complex (14.9%), C. glabrata complex (8.5%), and C. tropicalis (6.3%). 37 Candida strains were isolated from vaginal content (39.3%), 21 from the nail (22.4%), 8 from tracheal aspirates (8.5%), and 7 from urine (7.4%). Together, the Candida isolates presented decreased susceptibility to azole drugs, mainly to fluconazole and itraconazole. Amphotericin B showed sensibility in 95.7% of samples analyzed. Previous knowledge about etiology and antifungal susceptibility becomes indispensable to conduct an efficient treatment.

title: THE USE OF CONCEPT ANALYSIS METHOD TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF SELF-REGULATION LEARNING

description: ABSTRACT In recent decades, the term self-regulation has been mentioned in research in different areas, including Education. Due to this growing use, the question is: what are the common elements in the concept of self-regulation learning presented in international research? In this study, integrative review and concept analysis methods were associated. In the first stage of the concept analysis, a survey of peer-reviewed articles was carried out on the CAPES Periodicals Portal, resulting in 372 articles that allowed indicating the areas of use of the term. In the second stage, applying the integrative review criteria, 67 articles were selected from the ERIC journals. Among the common factors, it was possible to identify that the self-regulation learning process includes planning, autonomy, implementation of objectives, goals and strategies, control of emotions, time management, appreciation of knowledge and successful execution of tasks.

title: The Case of Instructional Intervention in Learning the Simple Forms of Spanish as Explicit Knowledge

description: ABSTRACT: In this study, we examine the benefits of instructional intervention in learning third person accusative clitics, simple forms, as explicit knowledge by analyzing the performance of participants in two tests: Metalinguistic Knowledge Test (MKT) and Written Production Test (WPT). Such instruments were part of pre-testing, immediate testing, and later testing. Thirteen students at a Languages course at a private university were the subjects of this study. Shapiro-Wilk test, Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test, and Wilcoxon comparison test were carried out as statistical treatment. The instructional intervention counted on several pedagogical strategies, namely: inductive and deductive explicit instruction, of isolated nature, controlled practices, and contrastive analysis between Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish concerning the options for retrieving the complement syntagma in both languages. Results showed instructional intervention brought benefits in learning simple forms as explicit knowledge. Moreover, after instructional intervention the learners showed improved performance at both WPT and MKT.

title: Ultrasound findings in severe COVID-19: a deeper look through the carotid arteries

description: Abstract Objective: To investigate vascular and perivascular abnormalities in the carotid arteries using ultrasound, as well as to evaluate their association with mortality and clinical variables in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study in which 53 hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 were evaluated and underwent carotid ultrasound. We documented the carotid ultrasound findings in these patients. Clinical, demographic, laboratory, and imaging features were analyzed and compared by statistical analysis to detect correlations between them. Results: Carotid ultrasound demonstrated luminal surface irregularity in 29 patients (55%), carotid plaques in 30 (57%), perivascular infiltration in four (8%), and increased intima–media thickness (IMT) in 31 (58%). Of the 31 patients with increased IMT, 19 (61%) died, and the association between increased IMT and COVID-19–related mortality was significant (p = 0.03). Logistic regression showed that the risk of death was 85% in patients who had increased IMT in combination with acute kidney injury at admission or a history of chronic kidney disease (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: In hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19, carotid ultrasound can show increased IMT, luminal surface irregularity, carotid plaques, and perivascular infiltrates. The combination of increased IMT and kidney damage appears to increase the risk of death in such patients.

title: Performance of Severity Indices to Estimate Postoperative Complications of Myocardial Revascularization

description: Abstract Background Patients in the postoperative period of myocardial revascularization (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting - CABG) surgery admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at risk of complications which increase the length of stay and morbidity and mortality. Therefore, early recognition of these risks is essential to optimize prevention strategies and a satisfactory clinical outcome. Objective To analyze the performance of severity indices in predicting complications in patients in the postoperative of CABG during the ICU stay. Methods A cross-sectional study with retrospective analysis of electronic medical records of patients aged ≥ 18 years who underwent isolated CABG and were admitted to the ICU of a cardiology hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) with a 95% confidence interval were analyzed to verify the accuracy of the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroScore), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II), Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) indices in predicting complications. Results The sample consisted of 366 patients (64.58 ± 9.42 years; 75.96% male). The complications identified were: respiratory (24.32%), cardiovascular (19.95%), neurological (10.38%), hematological (10.38%), infectious (6.56%) and renal (3.55%). APACHE II showed satisfactory performance for predicting neurological (AUC 0.72) and renal (AUC 0.78) complications. Conclusion APACHE II excelled in predicting neurological and renal complications. None of the indices performed well in predicting the other analyzed complications. Therefore, severity indices should not be used indiscriminately in order to predict all complications frequently presented by patients after CABG. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 115(3):452-459)
