title: Actively station: Effects on global cognition of mature adults and healthy elderly program using eletronic games

description: ABSTRACT Studies show that aging is accompanied by decline in cognitive functions but also indicate that interventions, such as training on electronic games, can enhance performance and promote maintenance of cognitive abilities in healthy older adults. Objective: To investigate the effects of an electronic game program, called Actively Station, on the performance of global cognition of adults aged over 50 years. Methods: 124 mature and elderly adults enrolled in the "Actively Station" cognitive stimulation program of São Caetano do Sul City, in the State of São Paulo, participated in training for learning of electronic games. Participants were divided into two groups: training group (TG) n=102 and control group (CG) n=22. Protocol: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R), the Memory Complaint Questionnaire (MAC-Q), the scale of frequency of forgetfulness, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), the Global Satisfaction with Life Scale, and two scales on learning in the training. Results: The cognitive performance of the TG improved significantly after the program, particularly in the domains of language and memory, and there was a decrease on the anxiety index and frequency of memory complaints, when compared to the CG. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the acquisition of new knowledge and the use of new stimuli, such as electronic games, can promote improvements in cognition and mood and reduce the frequency of memory complaints.

title: Eucalyptus breeding programs: a proposal for the use of inbred progênies

description: ABSTRACT Background: This review aims to discuss alternatives for obtaining new clones of eucalyptus ( Eucalyptus spp.) with greater efficiency than current methods, as well as the feasibility of obtaining hybrid seeds. The commercial-scale use of eucalyptus hybrid seeds may reduce implantation costs and bring other advantages for forest exploitation. The proposal focuses on using inbred progenies (S 1, S 2...S g) to improve the species. Self-fertilization releases a greater proportion of undesirable alleles hidden in heterozygotes, increasing selection success. Results: From the best individuals of the inbred progenies, full-sibling (FS) progenies will be developed, allowing the selection of new clones and conduct recurrent selection programs. The hybrid seeds must be obtained, also from the FS evaluations, in each selfing generation (S g x S g). Simultaneously with the conduction of inbreeding generations, information must be gathered aiming to implement the strategy for obtaining hybrid seeds, such as verifying the feasibility of generating double haploid lines and looking for alternatives to facilitate the large-scale production of hybrid seeds. Conclusion: this review of research results can serve as an initial basis for obtaining new clones of eucalyptus with greater efficiency than current methods, as well as the feasibility of obtaining hybrid seeds.

title: Modelling dominant height growth including a rainfall effect using the algebraic difference approach

description: ABSTRACT Background: Estimating forest productivity is critical for effective management and site assessment. The dominant height is used to calculate the Site Index (SI), which is commonly used to assess forest productivity. In this study, an algebraic difference approach was used to develop a dominant height model incorporating the rainfall effect for Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla ( E. Grandis x E. Urophylla). The dataset consists of 75 permanent sample plots ranging in age from 0.5 to 11 years, as well as 7 rainfall stations spread across plantations in Coastal Zululand, South Africa. Using fixed and mixed-effects in the predictor function, twelve candidate models were derived from the Bertalanffy-Richards, Lundqvist-Korf, McDill-Amateis, and Hossfeld growth functions. A continuous-time autoregressive error structure was used to account for serial autocorrelation in the longitudinal unbalanced data. Model fit statistics and graphical methods were used to evaluate the candidate models. Results: The addition of the rainfall effect increased model precision by 37%. The mixed-effects formulation produced 18% more precision when compared to similar models with all parameters fixed. Due to their compatibility with expected biological behaviour and good performance on validation data, mixed-effects models based on Lundqvist-Korf and McDill-Amateis functions were chosen as the final models. Conclusion: Unlike similar models that do not take rainfall into account, these models can capture the effects of severe rainfall conditions such as drought and can thus be used in short-rotation pulp forests with fluctuating rainfall.

title: The QR Code use for inclusive management in the urban forestry of Bagé, RS

description: Abstract: The Urban Forestry Program: An Exercise of Citizenship and Socio-Environmental Sustainability, from the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA), in the city of Bagé, RS, developed a project aimed at the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and accessibility, which added the context of social inclusion to the work of identifying trees in the city’s squares. The basis for this work was the Arboreal Inventory of the Main Streets and Squares of the City of Bagé, RS, carried out from 2014 to 2016, voluntarily, by educational institutions and community volunteers. Given the relevance of the social inclusion theme, tools were developed focusing to meeting special needs, aimed at the interaction of groups with hearing and visual impairments with the information collected in the arboreal inventory, about the species occurring in the Praça do Coreto, located in the central region of the city. Plates containing QR Codes were used to direct the reader to videos in Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) – for the access of the hearing impaired – and a central plate with resources in Braille – for the access of the visually impaired –, aiming to popularize the scientific data of the arboreal inventory and expand the reach of the Environmental Education work for other groups in society with no opportunity to access information about urban forestry.

title: EFFICIENCY OF DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS PREVENTION IN PROXIMAL FEMUR FRACTURES

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the efficiency of the deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis protocol in postoperative patients due to proximal femoral fractures and to assess any statistical difference between the types of fractures. Methods: A retrospective observational study based on the analysis of patients’ medical records who underwent to a surgical intervention due to proximal femoral fractures in 2017 and 2021 at Hospital IFOR - Rede D’Or São Luiz. These patients were selected according to previously determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 99 patients were included divided by sex, age, laterality, length of stay, and death. According to the institutional protocol, was used chemoprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin, associated use of pneumatic compression with compression stockings, and early gait. The DVT diagnosis was determined by clinical evaluation and imaging tests such as venous Doppler ultrasonography and laboratory tests. Results: The protocol was effective in our study. Only one (1.01%) patient developed DVT. Due to the lack of samples, we could not achieve our secondary objective. Conclusion: The institutional protocol is efficient for DVT prophylaxis and essential in these cases. Level of Evidence II, Prognostic Study.

title: Multivariate statistical analysis for the study of socio-environmental in a metropolitan nucleus

description: Abstract: Among the many needs in urban areas, there is access to basic sanitation, which should be one of the priorites in urban planning. The environmental impacts caused as a result of sanitation deficiencies put several people at risk in a given location. The Grande Rosa Elze is the largest urban center in the municipality of São Cristóvão and constitutes an area that faces problems in basic sanitation services, due to the inadequate development related to the irregular provision of these services. Given this situation, this study aims to analyze the residents’ perception of the Grande Rosa Elze, in order to verify the relationship of actions involving sanitation services, with the possible impacts caused in the area. The method used to explain this relationship consists of the multivariate statistics tool, cluster analysis, which performs the hierarchy of the pointed-out problems. The results showed that the lack of access to the sewage network influences several problems in the population’s conception, mainly flooding problems in rainy periods. In view of this study, it is possible to perceive that it is of significant importance to apply mitigations that improve access to basic sanitation services, as well as the priority correction of actions that cause the problems mentioned.
