title: Anuran assemblage changes along small-scale phytophysiognomies in natural Brazilian grasslands

description: ABSTRACT We studied the species composition of frogs in two phytophysiognomies within Pampa biome (grassland and forest) of a Ramsar site in southern Brazil to assess the distribution of species and dissimilarities in community composition on a small spatial scale. We tested the hypothesis that the vegetation structure and the types of land cover present in each physiognomy influence species distribution and the compositional dissimilarity patterns between locations. We sampled individuals using pitfall traps and active search in the areas around the traps. We evaluated the existence of these differences by using permutational multivariate analysis of variance and multivariate dispersion. We found that the compositional dissimilarity was higher between the sampling sites from different phytophysiognomies than within the same phytophysiognomy. Also, the difference in anuran species composition between the sampling sites within the forest was considerably high. These differences were mainly due to the type of land cover present in each sampled site. Based on our results, we could assume that the phytophysiognomies evaluated here offer quite different colonization opportunities for anurans, especially those related to microhabitat characteristics, such as microclimate variables. Still, the presence of different types of land cover seems to be a decisive factor for the maintenance of some anuran species, since these can serve as an important source for obtaining food resources, in addition to facilitating the dispersion of individuals within and between locals, serve as sites for the regulation of physiological functions and also refuges against predators.

title: Actions for children’s mental health on Unified Health System (SUS) Primary Health Care: an integrative review of Brazilian literature

description: Abstract This paper aimed to characterize actions directed to children’s mental health (CMH) in Primary Health Care (PHC), based on an integrative review of Brazilian literature (2006-2017). The searches were carried out from LILACS, SciELO and VHL Network databases. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 articles were identified for analysis, which were presented in three thematic axes: 1) Characterization of the demands on CMH for PHC; 2) Actions and interventions on CMH carried out in PHC; and 3) Difficulties and propositions for the implementation of actions on CMH in PHC. The literature points, as the main actions, the identification of CMH problems and their referral to care by specialties. Some studies described specific actions of professionals such as physicians, pediatricians, and psychologists. Interventions of a local character or in partnerships with universities were also identified. The analysis of this material indicated that PHC has been considered as an important field of action in CMH, but that nevertheless requires greater investments, especially in professional training and work organization.

title: Association between the consumption of breakfast and the recommendation of physical activity and the nutritional status in children

description: Abstract The scope of this article is to associate breakfast consumption (BC) with moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) intensity and the nutritional status of children aged 9-11. The sample consisted of 432 children from São Caetano do Sul participating in the International Study of Childhood Obesity Lifestyle and the Environment. Data were collected between 2012 and 2013. The weekly BC was obtained using the self-reported method. To measure MVPA, children used accelerometers and were classified into two groups (&lt;60 versus ≥60 min/day). The nutritional status was presented by body mass index (BMI). Logistic regression models were used, adjusted for gender, age, race, parental educational level and eating score. The mean BC was 5.25 (CI95%: 5.1-5.4) days/week and the MVPA was 59.29 (CI95%: 57.3-61.7) min/day. In the total sample, 55.8% of the children did not perform ≥60 min/day of MVPA and 50.2% were overweight or obese. The daily BC was not associated with MVPA, however, it reduced the odds of children being overweight or obese (OR: 0.51; CI95%: 0.34-0.76; p=0.001). Daily BC reduced the odds of excess weight or obesity in children, though it did not increase the chances of children meeting the recommendations of MVPA. Public policies should encourage daily BC to prevent excess weight or obesity.

title: A portrait of Brazilian primary care: municipal expenditure and infrastructure in Brazilian municipalities

description: Abstract The paper presents the relationship between the allocation of financial resources and the type of local basic health infrastructure in an initial sample of 5,570 Brazilian municipalities. This is an explanatory research using multiple correspondence analysis and quantile regression between expenditure/control variables and the type of structure of PHC Units. The correspondence between the type and the representative variables of expenditure shows that inferior typologies are related to lower per capita expenditure in these variables, and vice versa. Quantile regression showed a positive relationship with the type of infrastructure in the two cycles evaluated. There is evidence that expenditure variables are positively related to infrastructure, which allows us to understand that allocating more resources leads to better infrastructure. Results point to the need to improve the governance of financial resources for health, as municipalities with lower socioeconomic indicators have an infrastructure in the lower categories. We can conclude that there are multiple actors, and the various criteria for allocating and decentralizing resources bring about difficulties of coordination and integration between the entities, restricting the appropriate prioritization in the distribution of resources.

title: Prevalence of empathy, anxiety and depression, and their association with each other and with sex and intended specialty in medical students

description: Abstract: Introduction: Empathy and mental health are crucial for medical students’ self-care and performance as well as for patient care. Objective: to assess the prevalence of empathy, anxiety and depression, and their association with each other and sex, intended specialty and course semester. Method: Cross-sectional study with 405 of 543 students (74.6%) from odd semesters and from the 12th semester of the medical course of two universities in southern Brazil. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire containing information on age, sex, medical course semester, intended specialty, Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) and Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories (BAI and BDI). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Student’s t-tests, Chi-square, and bidirectional ANOVA between groups. The level of significance was set at p &lt; 0.05. Results: The mean JSE score was 120.2 (SD = 10.6) [116.9 (SD = 11.0) in men and 123.4 (SD = 9.2) in women, p = 0.000], being higher among students who wanted to follow medical areas aimed at people [123.1 (SD = 10.1)], than among those whose intended areas aimed at techniques and procedures [118.5 (SD = 11.2)], p = .003. There was no difference between the course periods. The anxiety and depression mean rates were, respectively, 16.2 (SD = 11.3) and 11.9 (SD = 9.0) [13.1 (SD = 10.3) and 9.9 (SD = 8.3) in men and 19.1 (SD = 11.4), and 13.8 (SD = 9.4) in women, p = .000 for both]. The prevalence rate of moderate and high anxiety was 33.8% and, when including mild anxiety, it was 59%. The prevalence rate of dysphoria (BDI = 16 - 20) and depression (BDI &gt; 20) was 26.4%, and 11.9% for suicidal ideation. An association was observed between severe anxiety and the JSE subscale ‘Walking in patient’s shoes’, more related to empathic stress. Conclusions: Empathy is high and stable throughout the medical course at the studied institutions and higher in women and students who want to follow people-oriented specialties. Anxiety and depression have higher prevalence rates in women. Severe anxiety is associated with the JSE subscale ‘Walking in patient’s shoes’.

title: Contraception use and family planning inequalities among Brazilian women

description: Abstract Background: Brazil has shown a considerable decline in fertility rates in recent decades. However, sociodemographic differences still have a direct impact on access to family planning in the country. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of contraceptive use according to sociodemographic variables among Brazilian women in reproductive age. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted with 17,809 women who have responded to the National Health Survey. We estimated the prevalence as well as the 95% confidence intervals and we used Pearson’s chi-square test at a significance level of 5% to analyze differences between groups. Results: More than 80% of the women reported to use some contraception method, the most used method was oral contraceptive (34.2%), followed by surgical (25.9%) and condoms (14.5%). Black/Brown, northerly, and low-educated women are more frequently sterilized, while white women, with higher schooling and those living in the south and southeast are the ones who use oral contraception and double protection the most. Conclusion: Despite the observed improvements, there was no decrease in the prevalence for not using any CM and there are inequalities in access to contraception in the country.

title: Environmental surveillance of the steel industry by the people: the experiences of Piquiá de Baixo (MA) and Santa Cruz (RJ)

description: Abstract Environmental surveillance by the people fosters the protagonism of individuals in a situation of environmental vulnerability to generate and evaluate data regarding the pollution to which they are exposed. The scope of this work was to analyze such experiences in two areas impacted by the steel industry: Santa Cruz/RJ and Piquiá de Baixo/MA. At these sites, community environmental monitoring (CEM) activities were conducted to measure 2.5 micrometer particulate matter (PM2.5) levels in the atmosphere, between November/2016 and July/2017. Such activities were conducted using a low-cost and easy-to-operate air quality monitor. Monthly averages of PM2.5 levels in Piquiá and Santa Cruz were high, depending on the period assessed, since they surpassed the annual average recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) of 10 µg/m3, and, on several occasions, the recommended daily average of 25 µg/m3. The main idea of this monitoring proposal was to establish a process capable of presenting a counterpoint to official information on local atmospheric pollution scenarios, with the involvement of affected communities. The pollution data produced enable these communities to participate in public debates and decision-making processes in a more informed way.
