title: Are there still sex differences in the functioning of the elderly?

description: Abstract Introduction: Sex is one of the demographic characteristics that better differentiates the independence of the elderly, despite this distinction not being consensual. Objective: To know the differences in functioning associated with sex in elderly people aged ≥ 65 years according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Methods: This was an analytical and cross-sectional observational study with a sample of 451 subjects. The instruments were a sociodemographic questionnaire identical to a ICF checklist and the Biopsychosocial Assessment Method. The student t, Mann-Whitney, chi-square, and Spearman correlation tests were used considering p &lt; 0.05. Results: The average age was between 79.5 ± 7.5 years with a female prevalence (62.1%). Of the 43 variables studied, sex differences were found in 17 (39.5%). In the personal factors, women showed greater vulnerability in conjugality (p ≤ 0.001), cohabitation (p = 0.037), and economic income (p = 0.002). Nonetheless, they showed healthier behaviors in all health-related habits. As for environmental factors and body functions, greater fragility was once again observed in women: the need for assistive devices (p ≤ 0.001) and urinary incontinence (p = 0.021). In activities/participation, differences were found in mobility, where women experienced more restrictions, whereas men were more dependent on washing/drying clothes in domestic life (p = 0.022). Conclusion: Women are more unprotected in social and economic areas, while men showed more vulnerability in habits related to health. These differences are linked to demographic issues related to longevity, cultural differences, and socialization, and differences regarding activities/participation tend to dilute between sexes.

title: Does early fruit juice introduction influence anthropometric outcomes and food consumption at preschool age?

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of fruit juice consumption before 6 months of age on Body Mass Index-for-age (BMI-for-age) and food consumption in preschoolers. We conducted a longitudinal study with mothers and their children (n=103) at 6 months and 3-6 years. Weight and height were measured and converted into BMI-for-age z-scores. Food consumption was analyzed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire for Children. Groups were compared using the chi-squared and Student’s t-tests. No differences in anthropometric measurements were found at preschool age between children who had been given fruit juice before 6 months and those who had not. Consumption of artificial juice (≥once/day) and sandwich cookies at preschool age was higher in children with early introduction of fruit juice (≤150 days of life) (63.8% versus 35.7%; p=0.028 and 21.3% versus 14.3%; p=0.001, respectively). The prevalence of the consumption of soda (1 to 4 times/week) and chocolate milk (at least once/day) was higher in children who had been given artificial juice before 6 months (69.2% versus 27.4%; p=0.014 and 38.5% versus 69.4%; p=0.027, respectively). It can be concluded that the consumption of sweet foods and sugary beverages was higher in children with early introduction of fruit juice.

title: Study of Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Using Design of Experiments and Surface Response Methodology

description: This study proposes a screen of variables that have an influence on the modification of the bio-oil chemical composition as a unique critical quality attribute (CQA) throughout the pyrolytic process (zeolite, ZSM-5) by using a 24 full factorial design, followed by optimization through a response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) involving samples of biomass sorghum BRS716 (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). The pyrolysis of pure biomasses and the biomass impregnated with the catalyst was carried out in a vertical bench furnace at 500 °C. Screening design involved factor variation in two levels (-1 and +1) of four variables as critical process parameters (CPPs) such as furnace heating rate (°C min-1), nitrogen flow (mL min-1), amount of biomass (g), and catalyst (% m/m), leading to obtaining bio-oil. Thus, it was possible to create a response surface from these two variables (biomass and catalyst), in which a minimum critical point was reached. The production of a bio-oil rich in hydrocarbon compounds is possible, but a large amount of catalyst was required. Two analytical techniques based on gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, provided additional information to fully characterize bio-oil chemical composition.

title: Distribution of Pleroma asperius (Melastomataceae) in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: spatial analysis for conservation strategie

description: Abstract Pleroma asperius is a shrubby Melastomataceae endemic to southern Brazil and threatened with extinction in the Rio Grande do Sul (RS) state. Aiming to better understand the distribution of the species in different environments in RS and contribute to its conservation, a literature review, searches on online platforms and field expeditions were carried out. From 270 records obtained, ninety-one presented location data and were treated as distinct occurrence points, six of them located in Conservation Units (CUs). Maps for P. asperius occurrence (82 non-overlapping points) were constructed, with layers referring to relief, biomes with phytogeographic regions, and hydrographic basins. Most points are below 50 m.a.s.l. in altitude (86.8%). The Pampa biome and Pioneer Formations have the highest percentages of occurrence points (74.4 and 71.9%, respectively). The interpolation of the occurrence points with environmental data characterized the preferential distribution of P. asperius in low-altitude areas, especially in wetlands and in the Pioneer Formations. These environments undergo intense changes by anthropic interventions. We draw attention to the low number of occurrence points in UCs. We still recommend to review the conservation status of P. asperius, include it for recomposing vegetation in degraded areas and create more CUs in the Pampa biome.

title: Environmental EDUCation in Duque de Caxias, RJ: contradictions between hegemonic discourse and the socio-environmental issues of the territory

description: ABSTRACT This article discusses the entry of environmental education projects formulated by companies in public schools in Duque de Caxias, in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro. It was theoretically anchored in assumptions of Environmental education, Criticism and Political Ecology. We sought to apprehend the logic that guides such projects and whether they contribute to the precariousness of teaching work and the weakening of public school autonomy. On the other hand, it was also an objective to verify a company with such projects in dealing with socio-environmental issues surrounding the schools. The methodological option was a qualitative research based on document analysis, participant observation and identification with teachers from three municipal schools in the region. In this sense, the environmental education projects developed in school units by two companies located in the Duque de Caxias Petrochemical Complex (Reduc and Arlanxeo) were analyzed. It can be demanded that the entrance of these companies in schools accentuates the precariousness of the teaching work and the expropriation of the teachers’ knowledge, at the same time that it fosters a conciliatory and uncritical aptitude of the students, refraining from facing the social and environmental issues that impact on the conditions of existence of students and communities in the region.

title: O “direito à memória”: Escola Eunice Weaver, memória individual e a constituição de um arquivo histórico em Goiás

description: Abstract This article describes the construction of a documentary archive for the Eunice Weaver School, part of the Educandário/Preventório Afrânio de Azevedo Training Complex (inaugurated in Goiânia in 1943). We stress the importance of creating similar archives to provide access to the memories of those subjected to policies related to preventing Hansen’s disease (leprosy). The documentation covers the period 1945-1990, depicting the everyday lives of blameless children who were institutionalized as part of state policies to prevent this disease. The material is regionally focused, expanding the number of known sources for the history of institutions and this disease in the state of Goiás, and served as a potential resource for patients attempting to gain release.

title: Hypertension in female prisoners in Brazil: far beyond the biological aspects

description: Abstract The scope was to estimate the prevalence of arterial hypertension (AHT) and associated risk factors among female prisoners. Data from the National Health Survey of the Female Prison Population and Prison Guards were used, investigating sociodemographic variables, prison characteristics, health behaviors and conditions. Information was collected through a self-administered questionnaire, and the magnitude of the association was estimated by the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Of the 1,327 prisoner participants, 24.4% were hypertensive, the majority were 31 years of age or older (54.6%), and 51.5% self-reported mixed race. After adjustment for associated risk factors in the bivariate analysis, a direct relationship between age and AHT was observed, in which age equal to/over 41 years was independently associated with a 7-fold greater chance of having AHT, compared to those under 25 years of age. Those who self-reported mixed race, had high cholesterol, were obese and were also independently associated with a higher prevalence of AHT. The greater the number of people with whom the inmate shares a cell was associated with a higher prevalence of AHT, but without a dose-response relationship. The conclusion drawn is that age, race, obesity, physical inactivity and stress are risk factors for AHT in female prisoners.

title: Fiscal multipliers, public debt and economic cycle: SVAR and MS-VAR models for the Brazilian economy in the period 1997-2018

description: Abstract This study evaluates the capacity of fiscal policy to smooth the Brazilian economic cycle. Therefore, multipliers are estimated for disaggregated fiscal variables. Considering the positive impacts of fiscal policy on economic activity, production responses to shocks differs between the recessive and expansive phases of the cycle from 1997 to 2018. In terms of economic policy management, the results reveal that aggregate demand stimuli are more appropriate in the context of a recession. Finally, the authors show that the inclusion of net debt in the model’s equations does not affect how shocks behaver in the SVAR. However, although it modifies some of the MS-VAR results, it is not a predominant variable for the magnitude of the fiscal multiplier, since cyclical fluctuations prevail over the size of the fiscal impulse.
