title: SYSTEMIC DEGRADATION OF WORK IN HYDRO-AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS

description: ABSTRACT We have used the concept of hydro-agricultural business in our studies, since we understand that capital, when searching for flat, fertile lands with favorable logistics, also requires water availability and expropriates traditional and native peasant populations. Thus, whether superficial or from aquifers, water is at the center of territorial disputes and conflicts. It is necessary to add, that in this route of exclusion the systemic degradation of workers and of the natural and transformed environments has intensified. That is, the differentiated advantages for the monoculture / latifundial / agricultural-exporting project, which has heavily penalized and condemned millions of workers to exclusion and expulsion from the land, and the population in general to diseases, chronic risks of contamination and pure and simple discarding. These consolidate themselves in the name of the modernization of production processes, as evidenced by the research in which many of us are involved. Learning about these processes and their effects requires care and attention to specific occurrences and procedures to address them. This may be a new phase of social exclusion, in the context of the systemic degradation of labor in hydro-agricultural business.

title: Probiotics study with Streptococcus salivarius and its ability to produce bacteriocins and adherence to KB cells

description: Abstract Introduction Streptococcus salivarius is a dominant oral species and the best suitable candidate for probiotic of the oral cavity. Since Streptococcus salivarius is able to produce bacteriocins against Streptococcus pyogenes interest has been focused on the use of it as a probiotic to avoid sore throats by Streptococcus pyogenes. Objective This study is for selecting Streptococcus salivarius strains for potential use as probiotics for the oral mucosa, that is, production of bacteriocin against Streptococcus pyogenes and the ability to bind to KB cells. Material and method Tongue material from 45 students was collected and seeded on Mitis Salivarius Agar plaques. The strains were tested by the production of bacteriocin-like substances (BLIS) against S. pyogenes, biochemically and PCR for identification of S. salivarius. The best strains were tested for adherence to KB cells. Briefly, S. salivarius strains were cultured in broth, washed and suspended at 108cells/ml. KB cells were inoculated into plaques, washed and incubated with the bacteria, for adhesion. These were washed for lysis of the KB cells and release bacteria for determination of CFU. Result The bacteriocin test showed that 133 strains presented inhibition of S. pyogenes. The samples tested for adhesion to KB cells, presented different profiles and only three strains presenting high adhesion capacity. Conclusion The selection of strains of Streptococcus salivarius with high inhibitory activity against Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as adherence to KB cells leads us to the next future step, that is, to use the best strains for in vivo colonization tests

title: Effects of energetic restriction diet on butyrylcholinesterase in obese women from southern Brazil – A longitudinal study

description: Objective Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity has been associated with obesity, lipid concentrations, and CHE2 locus phenotypes. This, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an energetic restriction diet intervention on anthropometrical and biochemical variables and on absolute and relative BChE activity in CHE2 C5+ and CHE2 C5- individuals. Subjects and methods One hundred eleven premenopausal obese women from Southern Brazil participated in an energetic restriction diet intervention (deficit of 2500 kJ/day) for 8 weeks. Their anthropometric and biochemical parameters were evaluated before and after the intervention. Plasma BChE activity was measured, and BChE bands in plasma and CHE2 locus phenotypes were detected by electrophoresis. Results The dietetic intervention decreased anthropometric and biochemical parameters as well as absolute BChE activity and relative activity of the G4 band. The CHE2 C5+ phenotype presented a different effect when compared with the CHE2 C5- phenotype. The CHE2 C5+ phenotype showed an effect in absolute BChE activity and in the relative activity of the G4 form, maintaining higher BChE activity regardless of the metabolic changes. Conclusion In our study, 8 weeks was not sufficient time to lower the body mass index to normal, but it was enough to significantly reduce the absolute BChE activity, which became similar to the levels in nonobese individuals. CHE2 C5+ individuals were resistant to the decrease in BChE activity compared to CHE2 C5- individuals. This shows that the diet did not affect the CHE2 and G4 fraction complex and that the products of the CHE2 locus in association with BChE have a role in energy metabolism, maintaining high levels of enzymatic activity even after dietary intervention.

title: Data for: "A robust SNP barcode for typing Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains"

description: Strain-specific genomic diversity in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) is an important factor in pathogenesis that may affect virulence, transmissibility, host response and emergence of drug resistance. Several systems have been proposed to classify MTBC samples into distinct lineages and families, using molecular genotypes (e.g. spoligotyping or MIRU-VNTR), regions of difference (RD) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, these systems lack accuracy or resolution due to the limited genetic variation studied or small number of samples used in their construction. We identified ~90k SNP across a global strain collection of 1,590 genomes. The SNP-based phylogeny was consistent with the gold-standard RD classification system and revealed fine-scale diversity. Of the ~7k strain-specific SNPs identified, a minimum set of 61 markers are proposed to discriminate accurately and robustly known circulating strains. This SNP barcode may be used to classify clinical isolates and evaluate tools to control TB, including therapeutics and vaccines whose effectiveness may vary by strain-type.

title: Double puncta canaliculi may exhibit different clinical presentations

description: ABSTRACT In this paper, we describe two adult patients who presented with double lacrimal puncta: one of them was asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed, and the other complained of epiphora. In both patients, unilaterality, preference for the lower lid, and location medial to the normal punctum were common features of the accessory punctum. In the asymptomatic patient, irrigation revealed no obstruction in the punctum or the nasolacrimal drainage system. By contrast, the other patient’s nasolacrimal drainage system exhibited obstruction. Therefore, dacryocystorhinostomy surgery and silicone tube intubation were successfully performed. Double lacrimal puncta may be associated with epiphora or dry eye. These manifestations can easily be missed in a routine examination. This report was written to emphasize that unilateral epiphora of dry eye symptoms may be related to supernumerary punctum or canalicular systems and can easily be diagnosed with lid eversion.

title: Health promotion for people in the semi-open prison system: a case study

description: ABSTRACT The Nursing professional experience in the implementation of health promotion actions, through the performance of a multidisciplinary team, for people who meet the semi-open regime in city in the interior of Ceará was reported. Descriptive study, of case studies type, carried out from monthly reports and with the help of a field diary. It is believed that, despite the implementation of public policies aimed at the population deprived of freedom, there is still a lot of difficulty in their implementation. A context that is still very marked by precarious health care is observed and, in some cases, non-existent, in addition to stigma and prejudice against this population. It is important to instigate discussions on health care in the prison system in educational centers trainers of human resources for the Unified Health System, with a view to apprehending knowledge and the development of skills and competencies, in order to contribute to the proper performance of nursing professionals and other health workers in this scenario.

title: Delivery Levels of Support Competencies to Organizational Eco-efficiency: a case study in an electro-electronics sector industry

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to develop and implement a search tool which, through the perception of its respondents, allows assessing how eco-efficient an organization is based on the identification of delivery levels of support competencies to organizational eco-efficiency. A mixed (qualitative and quantitative) exploratory-descriptive research was conducted, from a case study in an 'ISE Company'. A semi-structured interview and pictures of verification were used as data collection instruments. The data were analyzed via documentary analysis and triangulation of information collected. It was inferred that at the 'ISE Company' professionals at the high-level of the organizational hierarchy recognize, in part, the growth of organizational actions that contribute to sustainability, which is not fully consistent with national publications on the subject. The result of the research showed that organizational strategies addressing eco-efficiency are partially aligned with the professional performance of the organization.

title: Read, comment, share! Promoting reading and social technologies

description: We reflect on the challenges posed by technological advances for the library sector, primarily those associated with the so-called social Web and their potential to implement actions that help foster and promote a love for reading in new generations of readers. Thus, at first, we analyzed the current trends in terms of reader behavior and technological tools used to establish connections between librarians, authors and readers, in order to make reading a social activity. Next, we examine a number of initiatives currently being developed at public libraries and other institutions to unveil elements considered as good practices and actions that promote reading using the technological tools available. As a result of the study, we identified the main features offered by book clubs in the Internet environment as fundamental to the promotion of reading. Similarly we observed how these activities use technologies, blogs and social networks and, at a lower rate, file sharing and Wiki. Finally, we recommend the development of this type of service at any library.

title: Use diagnosis of the primary health care assessment tool – PCATool-Brazil adult version for the elderly population

description: Abstract This article aims to describe the pre-trial stage for the use diagnosis of the primary health care assessment tool – PCATool – Brazil adult version applied to a group of thirty elderly from sixty years old, registered at a primary healthcare unit. The instrument was fully implemented and the appropriateness of language and the applicability of the PCATool constructs to their realities were assessed. There was some difficulty in understanding some questions, and some elderly people have expressed fatigue due to the extent of the data collection instrument. We conclude that the instrument in its original form, does not take into account the elderly population heterogeneity and its social, cultural, educational, economic and political diversity.

title: Discussions on bioethics in medical journals of Paraná, Brazil (1970-2005)

description: Abstract This article analyzes the discourses that enunciate bioethics in the medical field of Paraná between 1970 and 2005, identifying authors and meanings attributed to the term. This is a historiographical research on Arquivos journal, published by the Paraná Regional Medical Council since 1983, and Revista Médica do Paraná, published by the Medical Association of Paraná since 1931. The documentary corpus was analyzed from the perspective of cultural history. Bioethics was first mentioned in the journal Arquivos in 1988, in an article on brain death, and later in Revista Médica do Paraná, in 1996, in an article on the principles of bioethics, in an article on the principles of bioethics, both written by physicians and professors. Journals are educational devices, as they disseminate ethical and bioethical ideas of the medical class that have the potential to reverberate within the society and change behaviors. The bioethics listed in the sources is closely aligned with principlism and medical ethics.
