title: Computed tomography features of cerebrovascular complications in intensive care unit patients with severe COVID-19

description: Abstract Objective: To report the computed tomography (CT) features of acute cerebrovascular complications in severely ill patients with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the intensive care unit. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 29 intensive care unit patients with confirmed COVID-19 who underwent CT of the brain. We describe the CT features of the cerebrovascular complications of COVID-19, as well the demographic characteristics and clinical features, together with the results of laboratory tests, such as complete blood cell count, coagulation testing, renal function testing, and C-reactive protein assay. Results: Two patients were excluded because of brain death. Among the remaining 27 patients, CT revealed acute cerebrovascular complications in six (three men and three women; 49-81 years of age), whereas no such complications were seen in 21 (15 men and six women; 36-82 years of age). Conclusion: Radiologists should be aware of the risks of cerebrovascular complications of COVID-19 and the potential underlying etiologies. COVID-19-associated coagulopathy is likely multifactorial and may increase the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic infarction.

title: Tolerance to salt stress in soursop seedlings under different methods of H2O2 application

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different methods of hydrogen peroxide application on biomass production and quality in soursop seedlings under salt stress. The study was conducted in a greenhouse, in a Psammitic Regolithic Neosol of a sandy-loam texture. The treatments were distributed in a completely randomised design, in a 5 x 4 factorial scheme, with five levels of electrical conductivity for the irrigation water - ECw (0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4 and 3.0 dS m-1) and four methods of hydrogen peroxide application (Control, application by soaking the seeds, application by spraying, and application by soaking and spraying), with two plants per plot and four replications. From 0.6 dS m-1, the salinity of the irrigation water inhibited dry matter production and altered the leaf morpho-physiological index of the soursop seedlings 145 days after sowing. The method of hydrogen peroxide application by soaking the seeds minimised the effect of salt stress on root dry matter production and the quality of the soursop seedlings, and increased leaf succulence, standing out as a tolerance mechanism to salt stress. The application of hydrogen peroxide by soaking the seeds favoured an increase in the root to shoot ratio in soursop exposed to salinity of the irrigation water.

title: Genetic diversity of recombinant inbred lines of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

description: ABSTRACT Considred a more accessible protein source for the population, common beans are consumed daily, mainly in developing countries, in the tropical and subtropical regions of the planet. Studies that use both morphological descriptors and molecular markers have been used in plant breeding programs for common beans. This article aims to report the study of the diversity of recombinant inbred lines and their parents using morphologial descriptors and SSR markers. 22 recombinant inbreeding lines were evaluated derived from the BRS Agreste parents and the black-01 line.For the characterization, 18 microsatellite markers and the following morphological descriptors were used: presence of anthocyanin, number of days after germination, days for flowering, wing color, standard color, seed color, tegument color, seed brightness, commercial group. For molecular characterization, seven markers were used that presented polymorphism The dissimilarity values, using morphological data, ranged from 0 to 8.5; organizing the lineages into three distinct groups. In the molecular analyzes, of the 18 primers tested, 11 were monomorphic and 7 presented polymorphism. The dissimilarity values for molecular analysis ranged from 0 to 0.8; with an average of 0.57. In addition to being informative, these markers are associated with important characteristics for common beans. Joint analysis of the data presented dissimilarity values ranging from 0.0 to 12.5, with an average of 6.89, forming three groups. The joint analysis of morphological and molecular data was efficient to characterize and distinguish inbred lines. The molecular markers used were suitable to the present study. The lines 18 and 19 can be considered duplicate because in all analyzes they remained together.

title: Research Laboratories: embodied research methodology in perfoming arts

description: ABSTRACT Research Laboratories: embodied research methodology in performing arts The article discusses the concept of laboratory in performing arts by means of intersections between academic research and laboratory theatre. By using the term laboratory to describe bodily and scenic investigations that are conducted in the studio, a combination of artistic and academic activities are discussed in order to foster a methodology for embodied research in performing arts. To that end, we present examples of laboratory practice in researches based on theory and on Practice as Research. Finally, we indicate laboratory practice as a method that produces tacit-somatic knowledge and present a methodological proposal for laboratory practice in academic research.

title: Spider (Arachnida-Araneae) diversity in an amazonian altitudinal gradient: are the patterns congruent with mid-domain and rapoport effect predictions?

description: Abstract: The Mid-Domain Effect (MDE) and the Rapoport (RE) effect are two biogeographical theories that make predictions about biogeogaphic patterns. MDE predicts higher richness in the central portions of a gradient if it is within a bounded domain. RE predicts a positive relation between altitude and species range size along an altitudinal gradient. Our aim was to document the distribution of spider species richness along an altitudinal gradient in the Brazilian Amazon, and to test the influence of MDE and RE on the diversity patterns. Our study was conducted at the Pico da Neblina (Amazonas state, Brazil), and we sampled spiders at six different altitudes using two methods: nocturnal hand sampling and a beating tray. We obtained 3,140 adult spiders from 39 families, sorted to 529 species/morphospecies. Richness declined continuously with an altitude increase, but the fit with the MDE richness estimates was very weak and was not significant. Range size was not related to altitude, i. e., no RE. Finally, the abundance distribution within each species range varied more specifically, which prevented the occurrence of a RE at the community level. The influence of MDE was extremely low, a consequence of our community characteristics, formed mostly by small range size species. Short and medium range species were located at all altitudes, preventing a significant relation between range size and altitude. The distribution of abundance within a species range varied specifically and do not support a RE hypothesis.

title: Comparison of Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA) to 7-point Subjective Global Assessment for the diagnosis of malnutrition

description: Abstract Introduction: Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) is a non-invasive and low-cost strategy. The methods used to assess malnutrition in patients undergoing HD are still a challenge. The aim of the present study was to compare BIVA to 7-Point Subjective Global Assessment (7-point SGA) to identify malnutrition. We also investigated the sensitivity and specificity of the previously proposed cutoffs point for BIVA parameters. Methods: Patients of both sexes, over 20 years of age, on HD treatment were included. Anthropometric parameters, laboratory data, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were evaluated. Values of resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) obtained by mono-frequency BIA were normalized to body height (H) to generate a graph of the bioimpedance vector with the BIVA software. The analysis of the area under the receiver operating curve ROC (AUC) was performed. Results: Among the included 104 patients, the mean age was 51.70 (±15.10) years, and 52% were male. The BIVA had a sensitivity of 35% for diagnosing malnutrition. The specificity of BIVA for identifying the well-nourished patients was 85.7%. The diagnostic accuracy between the BIVA and 7-point SGA was AUC=0.604; 95%CI 0.490-0.726, higher than the previously established cutoff values (AUC=0.514; 95%CI: 0.369-0.631). The 95% confidence ellipses did not overlap (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion: Our study showed low accuracy of BIVA for diagnosing malnutrition using a 7-point SGA as a reference standard. However, it is a complementary method for assessing nutritional status as it provides data on cellularity and hydration, which are important aspects for the HD population.

title: Science teaching in early childhood education: a ludic proposal in the approach to science, technology and society (STS)

description: Abstract This study aimed to analyze the contributions of the relationship between ludicity and STS Approach to science teaching in Early Childhood Education. Following a qualitative approach to pedagogical intervention, ludic activities were developed concerning the topic of school environment with a kindergarten II class in the city of Belém, Pará state, Brazil. It was found that STS principles emerged, fostering a problematization of social issues by children, their participation in decisions on matters related to their daily lives, as well as the construction of attitudes and values related to the care for the environment, thus enabling interdisciplinary, contextualized, and dialogical teaching of sciences, in which ludicity is seen as a foundation element for the implementation of STS interactions. We can conclude that an STS approach contributes to children’s scientific education by stimulating criticism and their development for the exercise of citizenship, considering the specificities of this stage of human development.

title: SPATIAL ORGANIZATION OF TOURIST ACTIVITY ON THE COAST OF PIAUI

description: Abstract Tourist activity occurs in a selective and fragmented manner in space. On the coast of Piauí, this fragmentation process has produced two types of territorialization: used territories versus territories neglected by tourism. This research aimed to identify and characterize these territories, considering the densification and / or dispersion of the tourist infrastructure. The methodology employed is a dialogical approach to interpret the spatial organization and its relationship with the tourist segments observed on the coast of Piauí, using Excel and ArcGis 10.1 software to systematize data. The analyses carried out identified how demand influences the organization of tourism infrastructure in some areas of the municipalities. Likewise, the existing organization of infrastructure and tourist services has also shaped visitor profiles in these areas, forming territories used and / or neglected by tourism. It is hoped that this study can inform decision-making by local public authorities concerning the social and environmental impacts of tourism activities.
