title: Frugivory by birds in four species of Cactaceae in the Caatinga, a dry forest in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Birds are known to play an important role in the reproduction of various species of plants through frugivory and seed dispersal. Despite the importance of cactuses in seasonal environments, few studies have evaluated interactions between frugivorous birds and these plants. The present study aimed to identify the species of birds that feed on the fruits of Cereus jamacaru D. C. (1828), Pilosocereus gounellei (F. A. C. Weber) Byles & G. D. Rowley (1957) subsp. gounellei, Pilosocereus pachycladus (F. Ritter), Kakteen Südamerika (1979) and Pilosocereus tuberculatus (Werderm.) Byles & Rowley (1957), and to estimate their potential as seed dispersers. The study was carried out in the Catimbau National Park, located in the semiarid region of state of Pernambuco, between February 2017 and August 2017. In 78 hours of focal observation on plants, 20 species of birds belonging to 11 families were recorded consuming parts of the pulp of the four species of cactuse. The composition of visiting birds varied according to the species of cactuse. The species of birds considered potential seed dispersers were Tachyphonus rufus (Boddaert, 1783), Tangara sayaca (Linnaeus, 1766), Paroaria dominicana (Linnaeus, 1758) and Mimus saturninus (Lichtenstein, 1823). Pilosocereus tuberculatus was visited by a single bird species, Forpus xanthopterygius (Spix, 1824). This is the first study to identify birds as frugivores and potential seed dispersers of P. pachycladus and P. tuberculatus. Additionally, our study indicates that frugivorous and omnivorous birds are the main potential seed dispersers of C. jamacaru, P. pachycladus and P. gounellei subsp. gounellei.

title: Seasonality of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) in Atlantic Forest sites with different levels of disturbance in southern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Dung beetle species were collected between May 2016 and July 2017 with pitfall traps baited with human feces in four Atlantic Forest sites with different levels of disturbance in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. We sampled 5,535 individuals belonging to 46 species. Canthidium aff. trinodosum (20.71%), Eurysternus parallelus Castelnau, 1840 (14.82%), Onthophagus catharinensis Paulian, 1936 (12.09%), Scybalocanthon nigriceps (Harold, 1868) (7.61 %), Eurysternus caribaeus (Herbst, 1789) (7.49%), and Canthon rutilans cyanescens Harold, 1868 (7.22%) were the most abundant species, which represented 70% of the individuals sampled. Moreno Fortes Biological Reserve had the higher richness and Morro do Cerrito the higher abundance, while Val Feltrina presented the lowest values. The greatest similarity occurred between Turvo State Park and Moreno Fortes Biological Reserve, while Moreno Fortes Biological Reserve and Val Feltrina had the lowest similarity. Only 11 species (23.9%) occurred in all sites, while 14 species were restricted to only one of the fragments. Both abundance and richness of dung beetles were positively correlated with site temperature but not with precipitation.

title: Evaluation of the performance of the modified early warning score in a Brazilian public hospital

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the performance of the modified early warning score (Mews) in a nursing ward for patients in clinical deterioration. Method: This is an analytical, quantitative and predictive study. Mews’ parameters (systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and level of consciousness) were evaluated every six hours. The following events were reported: death, cardiopulmonary arrest and transfer to intensive care. The evaluations were performed in a hospital of reference in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Results: A total of 300 patients were included (57 ± 18 years old, males: 65%). There number of combined events was observed to be greater the higher the score’s value (00%; 00%; 01; 09%; 19%; 28%; 89%, respectively, for Mews 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 and 6; p &lt; 0.0001). Mews ≥ 4 was the most appropriate cut-off point for prediction of these events (sensitivity: 87%, specificity: 85% and accuracy: 0.86). Conclusion: Mews properly measured the occurrence of severe events in hospitalized patients of a Brazilian public hospital’s nursing ward. Mews ≥ 4 seems to be the most appropriate cut-off point for prediction of these events.

title: General aspects of quality of life in heterogeneous populations: notes on Flanagan's Quality of Life Scale (QoLS)

description: Abstract Introduction: Instruments aimed to investigate general aspects of quality of life are scarce in the literature. Flanagan's Quality of Life Scale (QoLS) is an alternative instrument which provides a more comprehensive evaluation of quality of life in different contexts. Objective: To investigate some psychometric properties of the QoLS and discuss the measurement of quality of life using this scale in heterogeneous and large populations. Methods: The QoLS comprises 16 items divided into five dimensions. Responses were measured using a 7-point rating scale. Data were collected from a stratified sample of primary health care users in the municipality of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Polychoric correlation matrix and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. Results: A total of 1,054 primary health care users in 12 health care facilities were interviewed: 79.7% female; mean age = 36.97 years (standard deviation = 15.1). Moderate to low correlation coefficients were observed between almost all pairs of QoLS items. Items 7 and 9 as well as items 14 and 15 were the pairs presenting the highest correlation coefficient. The original structure of the QoLS, with five dimensions, showed adequate psychometric properties regarding the data collected. The inclusion of a single item on life satisfaction was proposed. Conclusion: The original structure of the QoLS was validated and found to be reliable when applied to primary health care users. A new general item was suggested for future studies to improve the interpretations and associations regarding general aspects of quality of life in large and heterogeneous populations.

title: Caregiver burden and stress in psychiatric hospital admission

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the relation between sociodemographics factors, stress and burden of care of family caregivers of patients at a psychiatric hospital admission. Method: quantitative study, with a cross-sectional correlation design. A total of 112 family caregivers participated, older than 18, in a Brazilian psychiatric hospital. A sociodemographic questionnaire was used to collect data, the Zarit Burden Interview and LIPP Adult Stress Symptom Inventory. Results: burden of care in family caregivers at a psychiatric hospital admission was significantly associated with stress (p=0.000). The psychological symptoms of stress predicted severe burden. Most caregivers presented a moderate or severe burden, with 52.7% in the resistance phase of stress; 66.1% presented psychological symptoms. Conclusion: results show the alarming situation of caregivers of patients from a psychiatric hospital, evidencing their own vulnerability to illness. Indeed, the during admission in a psychiatric hospital, not only patients need care, but also their caregivers.

title: Burnout assessment in nurses from a general emergency service

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the level of Burnout among nurses in a general emergency department. Method: Quantitative, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. 32 nurses from a general adult emergency department answered a questionnaire to evaluate Burnout. (Copenhagen Burnout Inventory). Result: It was verified that 59.4% of the nurses presented total Burnout. Work-related burnout was the subscale with the highest average score. It was found that the lower the age and the longer the time working in the institution, the higher the level of Burnout. Longer professional experience was related to lower levels of Burnout. There were also higher scores of Burnout among participants who thought about changing their profession, their institution or their service. Conclusion: The prevalence of Burnout is high. Professional Burnout was the most critical subscale. Age and the current work are the subscales that most influence perceived Burnout

title: Determination of Amino Acids in Plasma Samples of Preeclampsia Patients by Liquid Chromatography Coupled to High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry

description: This work presents the application of a simple and sensitive method developed for the simultaneous analysis of the levels of twenty two underivatizated free L-amino acids in plasma samples of preeclampsia patients by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometer (LC-HRMS) using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) silica column. The linearity was evaluated in the range of 0.009 to 8.018 µmol L-1 showing coefficients of determination (R2) in the range of 0.999 to 0.911 (p &lt; 0.05). The intra- and inter-day precisions were above of 9.84 and 15.31, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were in the range of 0.003 to 0.683 µmol L-1 and 0.009 to 2.276 µmol L-1, respectively. The results of the investigation of free L-amino acids showed that the levels of GABA, Arg, Ser, Leu, Ile, Met, Val, Ala, Gly, Bet, His and Lys in plasma of patients with preeclampsia were significantly different from healthy patients.

title: Influence of Temperature and UV radiation in the development of strains of Trichoderma spp.

description: Abstract Climate change is a threat to the agricultural sector. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of temperature and ultraviolet radiation (UV) on the in vitro development of Trichoderma spp. The experiments were conducted at the Postharvest Pathology Laboratory, at Embrapa Agroindústria Tropical (Fortaleza - CE). It was evaluated the influence of the incubation temperature (30, 35 and 40 °C) on mycelial growth, as well as sporulation (conidia.mL-1) and germination (%) of the conidia of the Trichoderma spp. (T. asperellum - SF 04, Quality WG®; T. harzianum - IBLF 006, Ecotrich WP®; and T. harzianum ESALQ - 1306, Trichodermil 1306). To evaluate the influence of UV, the Petri dishes of the fungal strains were exposed to light at different time intervals (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes) and obtained relative germination. The most temperature sensitive strain was T. asperellum (SF 04), in which the temperature of 35 °C showed a lower area of mycelial growth and lower relative germination (38.4%). The T. harzianum strain (ESALQ 1306) presented the lowest percentage of conidia germinated at 30 °C (63%), but had the highest number at 35 °C (100%). The UV radiation decreased the germination of the conidia and the strains that had the highest germination relative to the end of the exposure period were T. asperellum (SF 04) and T. harzianum (ESALQ 1306). These results may demonstrate a higher adaptability of the T. harzianum strain (ESALQ 1306) to extreme temperature conditions.

title: Glyphosate Applied at the Early Reproductive Stage Impairs Seed Production of Glyphosate-Resistant Hairy Fleabane

description: ABSTRACT: Glyphosate-resistant hairy fleabane [Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronq.] is one of the most important weeds in the world. Among the factors that make this weed species widely distributed in the most diverse environments is the high seed production capacity and dispersal. Hairy fleabane plants not controlled by herbicide application regrowth and overcome crop canopy, use environmental resources, interfere with crops, and complete their life cycle by producing thousands of seeds and replenishing the seed bank. Management strategies that reduce production and viability of hairy fleabane seeds can be adopted within the integrated management to reduce the seed bank and prevent further infestations. In this way, experiments were carried out in a greenhouse and laboratory of seed analysis to evaluate the effect of glyphosate (1,480 g a.e. ha-1) on the production and viability of glyphosate-resistant hairy fleabane seeds when applied at the vegetative and reproductive stages. Seed production was reduced by 68.4 and 100% when glyphosate was applied on hairy fleabane plants at the vegetative and early reproductive stages, respectively, regarding to the control. The viability of hairy fleabane seeds was not influenced by treatments at the evaluated stages. However, glyphosate treatment reduced the hairy fleabane seed production when applied at the vegetative stage . Hairy fleabane seed production is not feasible when glyphosate is applied at the early reproductive stage.
