title: Use of a child health surveillance instrument focusing on growth. A cross-sectional study

description: ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Proper use of a child health handbook is an important indicator of the quality of care provided to children at healthcare services. This study aimed to evaluate the use of child health surveillance tool (by health professionals?), especially focusing on growth. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study carried out in the context of the Family Health Strategy in two municipalities in Paraíba, Brazil. METHODS: Three hundred and twenty-one children under five years of age from areas covered by health workers were included in the study. Mothers answered a questionnaire asking for information on sociodemographic characteristics. Growth charts, records of iron and vitamin A supplementation and notes on immunization schedules registered in the instrument were analyzed. In the case of children for whom the third version of the child health handbook was used, the association between completion of this handbook and sociodemographic characteristics was analyzed. RESULTS: All the parameters studied showed high frequencies of inadequate data entry, ranging from 41.1% for the weight-versus- age chart to 95.3% for the body mass index-versus-age chart. Higher frequency of inadequate data entry was found among children aged 25 months and over and among those living in areas of these municipalities with minimal numbers of professionals in the healthcare teams. CONCLUSIONS: The use of a child health handbook to monitor children’s growth in the municipalities studied appeared to be faulty. Data entry to this instrument was better at locations with larger healthcare teams.

title: Cognitive changes in nurses working in intensive care units

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To measure the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression of nurses working in ICUs, relating them to levels of attention before and after 24 hours. Method: An observational, quantitative, analytical study with 18 nurses undergoing an inventory of stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as assessment of attention levels and psychomotor functioning. Results: Sixty-one percent showed positive for stress. Depression was observed in 33%; and anxiety in 99.9%. A strong correlation between stress and depression (ρ = 0.564 with p &lt;0.05) and anxiety (ρ = 1 with p &lt;0.05) was observed. There was a weak correlation between stress and task execution time in M2 (ρ = 0.055) for TMT A, a fact that did not occur in M0 (ρ = -0.249). Conclusion: The study shows that the workload of the nurses working in 24-hour shifts in the ICU is correlated with high levels of stress, decreases in the attention process, and psychomotor decline.

title: Traces of the Black Swan: Lino Guedes, a black writer on the newspapers (1913-1969)

description: Abstract In this article, I discuss aspects of the intellectual and literary activism of a black writer called Lino Guedes, born in the state of São Paulo. Based on sources from newspapers and on the initial mapping of his literary production, I try to explain how this author has figured in the public debate about black people in São Paulo in the post-Abolition period. In view of the limited analytical production about Lino Guedes as well as the lack of information about the social and intellectual conditions that made his work possible, this research tries to reconstruct the social and intellectual contexts in which he was inserted. I hope to contribute to the debate on the role played by black intellectuals in the public life in the early twentieth century in São Paulo.

title: Comparison of Secondary Prevention Status between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Coronary Artery Bypass Patients

description: Abstract Background: Data are scarce regarding disparities in cardiovascular risk factor management between patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and those treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Objective: Whether the goal achievement rates of cardiovascular risk factors were different between PCI and CABG patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data retrieved from a clinical record database of patients admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014, who underwent PCI or CABG. Results: Compared with the CABG group, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) &lt; 1.8 mmol/L (28.6% vs. 24.7%; p &lt; 0.01), LDL-C &lt; 2.07 mmol/L (43.5% vs. 39.4%; p &lt; 0.01) and blood pressure (BP) &lt; 140/90 mm Hg (85.6% vs. 77.7%; p &lt; 0.01) goal achievement rates were significantly higher in the PCI group. Compared with patients ≥ 60 years old: patients &lt; 60 years old had better BP &lt; 140/90 mm Hg goal achievement rates (87.7% vs. 84.4%; p &lt; 0.01) in the PCI group, and better fasting blood-glucose (FBG) &lt; 7 mmol/L (79.4% vs.72.0%; p &lt; 0.01) and HbA1c &lt; 7% (79.4% vs. 70.1%; p &lt; 0.01) goal achievement rates in the CABG group. Compared with females: males had better LDL-C &lt; 2.07 mmol/L (24.7% vs. 28.5%; p &lt; 0.01), FBG &lt; 7 mmol/L (71.8% vs.75.2%; p &lt; 0.01) and HbA1c &lt; 7% (70.4% vs. 74.1%; p &lt; 0.01) goal achievement rates in the PCI group. Conclusion: Patients in the PCI group were generally more likely than those in the CABG group to achieve LDL-C &lt; 1.8 mmol/L and BP goals. The control of cardiovascular risk factors differed between patients ≥ 60 years old and &lt; 60 years old. Female patients were less likely to achieve LDL-C, FBG and HbA1c goals.

title: Richness and structure of ant assemblies (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Atlantic forest in southern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Ant diversity is influenced by the structural complexity of the environment. Ants are thus an ecologically important group due to their potential to serve as indicators of environmental quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate ant diversity in areas with different land use histories and thus, within different stages of regeneration in the Permanent Preservation Area of the Foz do Chapecó Hydroelectric Plant reservoir. Ant assemblies among sample sites were compared using rarefaction analysis, and estimated richness, frequency of occurrence, and relative abundance were calculated. Associations between species and sample sites were evaluated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). We identified 55 species in total from 24 genera, distributed among seven subfamilies. Eight species had positive associations with sample sites. Estimates indicated that ant richness may be up to 21.4% greater than that observed. This study presents an inventory of species capable of colonizing environments undergoing natural regeneration processes, and aids our understanding of ecological recovery dynamics in protected areas near hydroelectric plant reservoirs southern Brazil.

title: Digital literacy teachers of the 2nd and 3rd cycles of Viseu (Portugal) County schools

description: ABSTRACT The main objective of this article is to understand how basic school teachers (5th to 9th grades) of the Municipality of Viseu (Portugal) carried out their training on information and communication technologies. This article is part of a larger study conducted in 2012 and 2013. To have a clear picture about the skills in information and communication technologies, we applied a questionnaire and interviews and conducted individual and focused groups using a set of selected teachers. For a longitudinal analysis of the development of these skills over time, we compared the results of this study with previous analyses, particularly with that of Jacinta Paiva, in 2002, and noticed how evolved the indicators are. We concluded that training in information and communication technologies, as a rule, does not appear in initial teacher training and is much carried out by self-training, supported by friends and colleagues and in the framework of training departments. Moreover, it was found that there was significant improvement in the number of teachers who have undergone information and communication technologies training.

title: Latin American scientific contribution to ecology

description: ABSTRACT Latin America embodies countries of special interest for ecological studies, given that areas with great value for biodiversity are located within their territories. This highlights the importance of an evaluation of ecological research in the Latin America region. We assessed the scientific participation of Latin American researchers in ecological journals, patterns of international collaboration, and defined the main characteristics of the articles. Although Latin American publications have increased in fourteen years, they accounted up to 9% of publications in Ecology. Brazil leaded the scientific production in Latin America, followed by Argentina and Mexico. In general, Latin American articles represented a low percentage of most journals total publication, with particularly low expression in high impact-factor journals. A half of the Latin American publications had international collaboration. Articles with more than five authors and with international collaboration were the most cited. Descriptive studies, mainly based in old theories, are still majority, suggesting that Ecology is in a developing stage in Latin America.

title: Aldefluor protocol to sort keratinocytes stem cells from skin

description: Abstract Purpose: To investigate the use Aldefluor® and N, N - Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB) to design a protocol to sort keratinocyte stem cells from cultured keratinocytes from burned patients. Methods: Activated Aldefluor® aliquots were prepared and maintained at temperature between 2 to 8°C, or stored at -20°C. Next, the cells were collected following the standard protocol of sample preparation. Results: Best results were obtained with Aldefluor® 1.5µl and DEAB 15 µl for 1 x 106 cells, incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes. Flow cytometer range for keratinocyte stem cells separation was evaluated. There were 14.8% of stem cells separated in one sample of keratinocyte culture used to pattern the protocol. After being defined the ideal concentration, the same test pattern was performed in other keratinocyte samples. We observed a final mean of 10.8%. Conclusion: Aldefluor® has been shown as a favorable marking of epidermal keratinocyte stem cells for subsequent separation on a flow cytometer, with detection of 10.8% of epidermal keratinocyte stem cells, in this protocol.

title: Numbers: which is its purpose? Curriculum and Invention in a Math class

description: Abstract How does a mathematical subject become worthy to enter the school curriculum? How does this occur? Would it be for their usefulness? Would it be for its historical value or force of a tradition? Would it be for its use within math? Which mathematical content is worthy to take place in a school curriculum? Among to these questions, we start researching the mathematics classroom, discussing mathematics as it is happening in the classroom. This article comes to unfold this research and focuses its attention on an activity performed in the mathematics classroom with grades six and seven of an elementary school in the Municipal Education Network of the mining city of Juiz de Fora, MG. In this activity, we provided tables numbered from 0 to 99 and pencils of various colors. Students were expected to color familiar numbers, find patterns, and mark anything on the table that caught their eye. It was in this context that Ana and her colleague marked the "changed numbers." Thus, they marked a curriculum, a math, a school. They invented a curriculum, a math, a school, a life. Invention of a curriculum? Can you invent a curriculum? Which mathematics for a curriculum invention? Breakthroughs of an activity.

title: Quality peach produced in fertilizer doses of nitrogen and green pruning

description: ABSTRACT The increasing consumer demand for fruit quality justifies the development of researches that combine orchards management and consumers’ perception of the quality of the product. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization combined with green pruning intensity on fruit quality of ‘Chimarrita’ from high density peach trees during three consecutive harvest seasons. For this purpose, urea composed of different nitrogen rates (0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 and 240 kg.ha-1.year-1) was applied, under two intensities of green pruning (annual – once per season; or continuous – four times per season) in a factorial scheme (7 × 2). Fruits have been subjected to physical, chemical and sensorial analysis, made by 60 non-trained evaluators in each of the harvest seasons. The results showed that the cumulative effect of applying N in the third harvest season improved SS attributes, SS/TA ratio and fruit skin color to the dose of N of 148 kg.ha-1 .year-1. There is no difference between green pruning intensity and peach fruit quality.
