title: Use of roof as roost of Eumops perotis (Molossidae: Chiroptera) in southeast Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The bat Eumops perotis (Schinz, 1821) is broadly distributed in the Americas. Studies on its biology are still scarce and the few studies available are relatively outdated. In the present study, we describe the biology of Eumops perotis in an artificial roost in the municipality of Pindorama, State of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, which was monitored for 12 months. We captured 50 individuals; 43 adults (34 males and 9 females) and seven juveniles (three males and four females). Nineteen adults were recaptured throughout the year (15 males and four females) during samplings. Males were ~33% heavier than females. Males remained in the roost throughout the year, while females were absent in June, July, and August. The presence of males with scrotal testes and pregnant females from July to November and the presence of pregnant females and pups from February to April suggest monoestry for this colony. Inside the roost, the behavior of E. perotis was similar to other molossid bats (e.g. contact posture, formation of groups, and presence of isolated males). During winter, the individuals of this colony consumed mostly coleopterans, but their diet also included orthopterans and lepidopterans, mainly in the summer. Therefore, this study contributes to increase the knowledge of the natural history of this species in the Neotropical region.

title: Susceptibility of targets to the vampire bat Desmodus rotundus are proportional to their abundance in Atlantic Forest fragments?

description: ABSTRACT Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) feeds preferably on mammal blood, including livestock animals, such as bovine cattle. In spite of using native preys in the wild, records of this feeding activity are scarce. In the present study, we investigated the foraging activity of D. rotundus based on video footage from camera traps in Atlantic Forest fragments in southern Goiás State, Brazil. Out of 23 mammal species recorded in the study area, four had interactions with Desmodus rotundus (Priodontes maximus, Tapirus terrestris, Mazama americana and Pecari tajacu). The records were obtained from early night to sunrise. There was a correlation between abundance of potential preys and the choice of the target by D. rotundus. Most of the bat-prey interaction occurred on the edge of fragments. The present study records for the first time the potential use of the collared peccary (P. tajacu) and the giant armadillo (P. maximus) in the diet of D. rotundus.

title: A química no Vestibular Fuvest (1980-2018)

description: ABSTRACT This paper proposes an analysis of epistemological and didactic aspects of Chemistry programs and of some Chemistry questions of the University of São Paulo admission exam (Fuvest) from 1980 to 2018. Our analysis focuses on the criteria guiding the selection and organization of contents; on the implied relationships between the macroscopic and submicroscopic ontological levels of matter; on the use of particle models to explain such relationships; on experimentation and on the contextualization of chemical knowledge. There was a major change in the program in 1991 and a minor one in 2002, which may be related to changes in state and federal curriculum guidelines. The process outlined here, in which Science education research results influenced university admission exams, may lead to useful reflections for educators in chemistry.

title: Factors associated with self-perceived health in taxi drivers

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed at analyzing the association of sociodemographic, occupational, risk and health-related factors with taxi drivers’ self-perceived health. This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 100 taxi drivers from the city of Jequié (Bahia). A questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic, occupational, behavioral and health variables was used. To verify the association of independent variables with health perception, the Pearson’s chi-squared test was used, adopting a confidence interval of 95%. The frequency of positive self-perceived health was 73.0%, with statistically significant associations between negative self-perceived health and individuals with eight years or less of education (p=0.033), length of service &gt;10 years (p=0.003), poor sleep quality (p=0.006), physical and mental fatigue at the end of a workday (p=0.002 and p=0.006, respectively) and work ability index classified as moderate and good (p=0.016, p=0.000, respectively). Negative self-perceived health in taxi drivers had association with individuals who had eight years or less of education, high length of service, poor sleep quality, physical and mental fatigue, and moderate and good work ability; which suggests the need for investments in health education actions directed to these professionals in order to promote interest in the care of their own health.

title: Reproductive stage, histology and seasonal morphometry of the testes of Dermanura cinerea (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in Atlantic Forest fragment on the South Coast of Pernambuco, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This study analyzed the reproductive stage, histology and morphometry of the testes of Dermanura cinerea (Gervais, 1856) in Atlantic Forest fragment on the South Coast of Pernambuco. Specimens were captured by mist net, and collections occurred monthly over two consecutive nights for 18 months. The meteorological data were grouped in rainy and dry months. Eighteen adult specimens were used, which were classified in males with descendant testes and with testes no descendant. For the histological analysis, the testes were collected, fixed and processed following the routine histological technique. The slides obtained were stained by Hematoxylin-Eosin. In the morphometric analysis the area of occupation of the tubular and intertubular compartment were measured, the number of Leydig, Sertoli, spermatocytes and elongated spermatids were quantified. The morphometric data were submitted to statistical analysis. Dermanura cinerea presented higher sperm production activity in dry months and higher hormone production in rainy months. This information is also related to the reproductive pattern of the females and to the increase in rainfall indexes, since it is a determinant factor in the mediation of the food availability of the frugivorous species, such as D. cinerea in the Atlantic Forest area of Pernambuco.

title: Educational program for coronary artery disease patients: results after one year

description: ASTRACT Objective: To evaluate the long-term results of an educational program compared to usual care. Method: A longitudinal study in which 56 participants from a previous study (randomized controlled clinical trial) were evaluated twelve months after the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed by the Medical Outcomes Study: 36-item Short Form (SF-36), and anxiety and depression symptoms were assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). A repeated measures analysis of variance was performed (significance level 0.05). Results: Participants in the educational program showed improvement of HRQoL in the Role-Emotional domain, while those in the usual care did not present changes (p=0.05). Both groups showed improvement in the Role-Physical (p = 0.001) and Bodily Pain (p=0.01) domains over time. There were no differences in the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Conclusion: One year after the PCI, there were significant differences between groups only for the Role-Emotional domain of the SF-36.

title: Lower-limb muscle strength in women with rheumatoid arthritis and women without the disease: is there a difference?

description: ABSTRACT Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease, which is chronic and affects the joints’ synovial membrane. Among the physical aptitude qualities that can be impaired in individuals with RA, muscle strength deserves attention. It is directly associated with the capacity of performing all activities of daily living, from the simplest to the most complex. The aim of this study was to assess the muscle strength of the lower limbs of women with RA. Seventeen volunteers with RA (I, II and III functional classes) and 17 women without the disease, with mean age corresponding to 54.7+6.63 years, underwent the one-maximum repetition test to assess knee flexors and extensors, hip abductors and adductors. We used Student’s T test to analyze the data, considering significant p values &lt; 0.05. In all assessments, the group of women with RA showed lower values when compared with women without the disease. However, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups. The descriptive levels obtained from the comparison between the groups’ muscle strength were: knee extensors, p=0.224; knee flexors, p=0.467; hip abductors, p=0.190 and hip adductors, p=0.127. The muscle strength of the lower limbs does not differ between women with RA (I, II and III functional classes) and women without the disease.

title: MOBILIZING AXES IN CHEMISTRY: A SHORT LOOK 15 YEARS LATER

description: In 2002, the Brazilian Chemical Society have promoted several activities aiming to prepare a document to discuss the education in Chemistry in Brazil, the new model of research funding, the area situation and its perspectives. The document drew up diagnoses and brought up proposals that were organized into six mobilizing axes. Among its conclusions it was expected an alignment of scientific and technological research, considering the central role of Chemistry in solving problems and overcoming challenges affecting the education, full citizenship, climate changes, food production and quality, access to and quality of water, energy security, preservation of ecosystems and species, emerging diseases and quality of life. The current moment brings again challenges, imposed by a new technological generation, the transformations of the urban societies and by the commitment with a sustainable development. This article seeks to outline a panorama, using as background the Industry 4.0, the Society 5.0, the Sustainable Development Objectives, the creation of the EMBRAPII, the SENAI Institutes of Innovation and the role of the graduate programs in Chemistry, in order to construct a new agenda under the scope of the SBQ for the next 15 years.

title: Risk analysis applied to sewage disinfection: the case of the Sewage Treatment Plant of São José do Rio Preto (SP)

description: ABSTRACT Risk analysis allows for the identification of social and individual risks following the installation, operation or decommissioning of a hazardous activity, taking into account the probability of occurrence and the extension of damages. Sewage Treatment Plants with disinfection systems must be informed by a risk analysis in order to integrate social and environmental conflicts in decision-making. Therefore, it is relevant to assess the potential to cause relevant damage caused by failures in equipment or security devices that could lead to leakages and/or explosions. In this sense, the present paper discuss the results of a risk assessment applied to the Sewage Treatment Plant of São Jose do Rio Preto (SP). The results show the relevance of risk analysis in defining the locational alternative and the associated security measures applied to risk and conflict management, considering the plant itself, the environment and neighboring population.

title: Impact of Nitrate and Ammonium ratio on Nutrition and Growth of two Epiphytic Orchids

description: Abstract Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium do not grow and flower well with 100% ammonium (NH4-N); and there are detailed studies on the effects of nitrate (NO3-N) and ammonium ratios on the flowering, but no information about accumulation of other nutrients and the effects of ammonium toxicity on orchids. For this reason, two experiments were carried out with orchids: Phalaenopsis ‘Golden Peoker’ and Dendrobium ‘Valentine’. Six months after acclimatization the plants were transplanted to individual plastic vessels and the treatments consisted of five ratios (%) of nitrate / ammonium (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25, 100/0). The sources of NO3-N and NH4-N were calcium nitrate and ammonium sulfate, respectively. After 12 months treatment, when the plants were beginning to issuance of flower stem, the accumulation of: N, P, K, Ca and Mg in the shoot and biometric variables were evaluated for both species. The NH4-N ratio of 40% and 50% of the total nitrogen benefited the growth of Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium, respectively. The application of higher proportions of ammonium resulted in decreased N, K, Ca and Mg absorption, index of green color and increased leakage of electrolytes in Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium. NH4-N proportions greater than 75% for 12 months caused toxicity in Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium.
