title: Zoning for edaphoclimatic aptitude of Bambusa vulgaris and Dendrocalamus giganteus in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The use of renewable materials and more sustainable processes are essential to minimize the negative impacts of population growth. Bamboo is a viable alternative, because it is a product with potential properties for wood replacement. However, to achieve a good yield, it is necessary to identify suitable sites for the forestry of the species. This study aimed to forecast favorable areas for the best establishment and development of Bambusa vulgaris and Dendrocalamus giganteus in the Brazilian territory, functioning as a zoning for edaphoclimatic aptitude that can support decision-making. It was performed using georeferenced points of natural occurrence for the species, collected from a virtual herbarium. The environmental variables were extracted from the WorldClim, MOD16 and SoilGrids databases. In order to select the set of variables to be used for modeling each species, a correlation test was performed. From this result, ten environmental variables were used for each species, and non-correlated variables were chosen. A principal component analyses was applied to select the variables that better explained variability. For the distribution map, the Maxent algorithm was used, based on the principle of maximum entropy, evaluated by the AUC and TSS metrics. Bambusa vulgaris presents a large area for adaptation in the Brazilian territory, unlike the Dendrocalamus giganteus species, which showed a limited aptitude area.

title: Executive functions in children with dyslexia

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify whether children with dyslexia have difficulties in executive functions (shifting, working memory, inhibition). Methods: A sample of 47 children (ages 8-13 years) participated in the study: 24 who were dyslexic and 23 controls with typical development. A battery of neuropsychological tests was used. Results: Results revealed executive function difficulties among the dyslexic children when compared with controls, encompassing selective attention modulation processes, shifting, and inhibitory control. These difficulties appeared to be affected by phonological working memory deficits, typically associated with dyslexia. Conclusion: Our findings support the consensus among scholars regarding the central involvement of phonological skill dysfunctions in dyslexia.

title: Profile of women with cervical changes from a city in the Northeast Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: In Brazil, cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death. It reached 5,430 deaths in the year 2013, with estimated 16,370 new cases by 2018. Its occurrence has been associated with previous human papillomavirus (HPV) infection for the development of intraepithelial lesions; however, several factors can influence this appearance, including number of sexual partners and infections by other microorganisms. Objective: The profile of women from the city of Caruaru, Pernambuco, Brazil, with atypia, cervical intraepithelial lesions and cancer, was verified. Material and method: Documentary, analytical, retrospective study, carried out through the collection of information in the database of the State Department of Health of Pernambuco, by TabNet, referring to the tests in the laboratory of the municipality of Caruaru, Pernambuco, Brazil. Results: During the study period, 18,466 tests were evaluated. From the samples evaluated, 735 (4.31%) were squamous and glandular atypia, 167 (0.98%) intraepithelial lesions, and one (0.005%) cancer. Coccus, Gardnerella vaginalis and Lactobacilli were the most evident agents in cervical alterations. Discussion: Studies demonstrate the intimate relationship between infectious agents and the development of cervical lesions and cancers. Gardnerella vaginalis was the most frequent agent in the presence of abnormalities was identified as a facilitator of HPV penetration. Conclusion: Women infected by Gardnerella vaginalis and older than 30 years of age are more exposed to the development of alterations. Guidelines on prevention and screening should be continuous strategies in public services. Understanding these risk factors is a paramount concern because they are involved in the prevention and etiology process of cervical lesions and cancer.

title: Safety and potential benefits of physical therapy in adult patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support: a systematic review

description: Abstract Scientific and technological advances, coupled with the work of multidisciplinary teams in intensive care units, have increased the survival of critically ill patients. An essential life support resource used in intensive care is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Despite the increased number of studies involving critically ill patients, few studies to date have demonstrated the safety and benefits of physical therapy combined with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. This review identified the clinical outcomes of physical therapy in adult patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support by searching the MEDLINE®, PEDro, Cochrane CENTRAL, LILACS, and EMBASE databases and by manually searching the references of the articles published until September 2017. The database search retrieved 1,213 studies. Of these studies, 20 were included in this review, with data on 317 subjects (58 in the control group). Twelve studies reported that there were no complications during physical therapy. Cannula fracture during ambulation (one case), thrombus in the return cannula (one case), and leg swelling (one case) were reported in two studies, and desaturation and mild vertigo were reported in two studies. In contrast, improvements in respiratory/pulmonary function, functional capacity, muscle strength (with reduced muscle mass loss), incidence of myopathy, length of hospitalization, and mortality in patients who underwent physical therapy were reported. The analysis of the available data indicates that physical therapy, including early progressive mobilization, standing, ambulation, and breathing techniques, together with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is feasible, relatively safe, and potentially beneficial for critically ill adult patients.

title: Helminth parasites of Cichla ocellaris Bloch & Schneider, 1801 collected in the Jacaré-Pepira River, São Paulo state, Brazil

description: Abstract:Cichla ocellaris is native to the Amazon region. It is popularly known as tucunaré and is widely used for human consumption. It is difficult to breed in captivity due to its highly predatory habits, it is considered symbolic of sport fishing in Brazil. This study aimed to make a qualitative and quantitative survey of helminth parasites of C. ocellaris. Thirty specimens from the Jacaré-Pepira River, located in the municipality of Ibitinga, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, were studied. The river is located 13 km from the urban area and at an altitude of approximately 600 m. A total of four taxa of metazoan parasites were collected and identified in Cestoda, Digenea, Monogenea and Nematoda. The cestoid Proteocephalus macrophallus presented the highest prevalence (63.3%) and had the greatest abundance and intensity, being found only in the intestine and stomach. The parasites found showed a significant positive correlation between the total body length of the hosts and the prevalence, as did the weight. This is the first study of helminth parasites of this host conducted in the Jacaré-Pepira River and the first record of a new location for P. macrophallus.

title: Climbing the Ladder of Performance: Are Psychological Contract and Organizational Commitment Steps?

description: Abstract Low attrition and high job security in public organizations make the risk low for consequences of performing poorly. Climbing the ladder of job performance, what are the steps that should be in mind? The effects of fulfillment of the psychological contract and of affective organizational commitment on job performance were examined in a longitudinal study with employees and their line managers in a Brazilian public sector agency. We tested three models of mediation, aiming to better explain variance in job performance. This research design with employees and their bosses (N = 202) relieves common method bias and demonstrates in a robust and unique way, through a study carried out over two years, the effects of the fulfillment of the psychological contract on in-role job performance as well as the role of organizational commitment in this process. We found that fulfillment of the psychological contract explained variance in job performance, while commitment did not. However, the addition of organizational commitment as a mediating variable increased the explanatory power of the psychological contract. In our metaphor, psychological contract would be a significant step on the ladder, while commitment would be the difference in how much an individual can stretch his/her arms to reach the best job performance.

title: Quilombola school education in Brazil: an analysis of didactic materials produced by state educational systems

description: ABSTRACT This article aims at analyzing didactic materials of Quilombola Elementary School Education (EEQ) of Basic Education produced specifically by educational systems of different states of the country, confronting them with the National Curricular Guidelines (DCN). The work is the result of a postdoctoral research in Education by the Federal University of Amapá (UNIFAP), which took place nationwide in the period of October 20, 2017 to October 20, 2018. It is a qualitative and quantitative documentary reflective research of the studies of Minayo (2008), Fonseca (2002), Melucci (2005), Bardin (2002), Larchert and Oliveira (2013), Bittencourt (2007), among others. Additionally, the results of the research show that the didactic materials analyzed presented a very restricted and vague discussion about the categories of analysis chosen (conceptualization of quilombo, culture and traditions, work possibilities, land and territory, orality and memory), being limited to superficial approaches of the historiography of the Negro in Brazil. The results also pointed out that these didactic materials produced by state educational systems in the country meet, in part, the principles of a quality EEQ as suggested by the DCN (2004), however fail to observe some of the foundations established in the EE (2012). In addition, they are incipient materials with poor visibility and/or small participation of quilombola communities in the elaboration and/or production of these materials, as well as deficient in the demonstration of the varieties and ethnic diversities of quilombos in our country.

title: Accuracy of the ultrasound examination in patients with inguinal hernia.

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of inguinal hernia in the preoperative period of patients submitted to inguinal herniorrhaphy. Methods: we conducted a retrospective, descriptive, analytical study, based on data obtained from the charts of patients submitted to inguinal herniorrhaphy between January 2016 and December 2017 and who underwent ultrasonography in the preoperative period. The sample consisted of 232 patients, and we compared the results of the ultrasonography with the complaints, physical examination and intraoperative findings. Results: ultrasonography was in agreement with inguinal hernia complaint in 52% of patients (p=0.019). There was a disagreement between the percentage of patients who presented a hernia at the physical examination not confirmed by the ultrasound examination (28.57%) and the percentage of hernias identified only by the complementary examination (8.93%), with statistical significance (p=0.0291). When comparing the ultrasound findings with the intraoperative ones, 32.70% of patients presenting with hernia had normal ultrasonography, with statistical significance for discordance (p=0.001). Conclusion: ultrasound was an unreliable method to help diagnosis in dubious cases of inguinal hernia, and dispensable when the diagnosis was confirmed by typical complaints and compatible physical examination.
