title: Immunocastration on performance and meat quality of Bos indicus (Nellore) cattle under different nutritional systems

description: ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of immunocastration on the animal growth, carcass traits, and meat quality of Nellore cattle receiving or not Ionophore supplementation at pasture or pasture with concentrate (semi-feedlot). The first experiment (Pasture) was carried out during the rainy season, while the second (supplemented = Semi-feedlot) was conducted during the dry season. In each assessment, 60 males were allocated into three treatments, in a completely randomized design: non-castrated, immunocastrated (anti-gonadotropin-releasing hormone vaccine), and immunocastrated animals receiving ionophore. The highly energetic supplemented diet was prepared using 85 % corn and 10 % soybean meal at 1 % body weight, while the ionophore was provided with salt containing 1,650 mg kg−1 of lasalocid. After slaughter, the carcasses were graded, and Longissimus thoracis et lumborum samples were collected for meat quality analysis. The non-castrated animals exhibited a more significant final body weight and hot carcass weight than those immunocastrated regardless of ionophore supplementation (p &lt; 0.05). The carcasses of non-castrated animals had less fat cover and marbling than castrated animals. A high incidence of dark cutting beef was verified in non-castrated animals. The immunocastrated cattle produced tenderer beef, mainly at pasture rearing. In conclusion, regardless of production system or ionophore supplementation, immunocastration was an adequate choice to generate high-quality meat, since it increased marbling and improved beef tenderness. However, limitations regarding animal growth should be estimated.

title: Gender and Sexuality in the Federal Medical Schools in Brazil: an Analysis of the Curricular Pedagogical Projects

description: Abstract Introduction: The Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG) for undergraduate courses in Medicine since 2014 have highlighted the need to include gender and sexuality in the medical school curricula, aiming at better care for people. Method: Thus, the objective is to identify and analyze the approach of gender and sexuality in the Curriculum Pedagogical Projects (CPP) of the medical courses of the Federal Institutions of Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study of descriptive and documentary analysis, carried out through the analysis of CPP, of the undergraduate medical courses of the Federal Universities of Brazil. Data were obtained from the website of the undergraduate medical course of each higher education institution. In addition, emails were sent to the coordinators of these courses to obtain the updated CPPs. For the quantitative analysis, an initial description of the sample was performed followed by a statistical analysis using the chi-square test to assess whether or not there was an association between the presence of gender and / or sexuality debate in CPP, with the publication of the 2014 NCG and with the Brazilian geographic region, as well as between the nature of the curricular unit (compulsory or complementary / optional) and the perspective of the approach. The documentary analysis was used for the qualitative analysis with the content analysis technique, through the thematic analysis method. Results: It was found that 48 (69.56%) of the 69 analyzed CPP discuss the topics gender and / or sexuality in one or more subjects offered by the course. There is a predominance of the sexuality topic, of compulsory curricular units (88.32% of 137 curricular units) and an approach beyond the exclusively biological perspective (63.5% of 48 CPPs and 62.04% of curricular units). No statistical significance was evidenced by the chi-square test. Regarding the documentary analysis, two categories were constructed: “gender and sexuality associated with a biological perspective”, “gender and sexuality associated with a predominantly broader perspective or social determinants in health”. It was observed that the first category predominates in curricular units associated with organs, systems or life cycles of the human being, while the second, to social and human sciences applied to health and Primary Health Care. Conclusions: We conclude there is a significant number of CPPs and, consequently, also of curricular units that have a perspective beyond the exclusively biological approach. Nevertheless, there is difficulty with comprehensive health care that may be related to a selective visibility to pathology and technical aspects of medical practice and a difficulty in effectively promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue between the biological, exact and human sciences as proposed by the NCG.

title: Cervical spine range of motion, posture and electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles in temporomandibular disorders

description: Abstract Introduction: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD or TMJD) involve clinical problems and symptoms affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures. The temporomandibular joints are anatomically connected to the cervical region, where cervical spine movements occur simultaneously to masticatory muscle activation and jaw movements. Objective: Our study sought to assess the relationship between the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), surface electromyography (sEMG) of the masticatory muscles, posture and cervical flexibility in women with TMD. Method: Fifty women with an average age of 27.0 ± 6.37 years, diagnosed with TMD according to RDC/TMD, were assessed for craniocervical posture, cervical flexibility and sEMG of the masticatory muscles. Results: There were no differences in jaw function limitations, depression, pain level and its interference in work ability and daily activities, posture and sEMG between TMD diagnoses or between muscle classification (p &gt; 0.05). Depression scores were higher among participants with biarticular dysfunction (p = 0.023). The group with bruxism exhibited a higher pain level at assessment (p = 0.001) and a greater reduction in work ability (p = 0.039). Subjects with muscular and mixed TMD showed less cervical rotation to the right when compared with those with articular TMD. Conclusion: There was no difference in posture or sEMG values for TMD diagnoses, joint and muscle dysfunctions and the presence of bruxism. Muscle dysfunction is associated with reduced cervical rotation to the right. Jaw function limitations did not interfere in posture or sEMG and depression was associated with pain.

title: Validation of a Training Model for Performing Laparoscopic Knots and Stitches in a Simulation Environment

description: Abstract: Introduction: To evaluate the progression of competence, learning curve and degree of satisfaction with the training model of medical students undergoing training to perform laparoscopic knots in a simulator. Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal, interventional study, carried out from April 2016 to July 2017, with the participation of 52 students from the Centro Universitário Christus, Fortaleza, Brazil, from the first to the third year of medical school, undergoing theoretical practical, systematic, and methodized training, with progression of skills to perform laparoscopic knots in a simulation environment in four stages, with a total duration of 16 hours. It was established the task of performing laparoscopic stitches, with five simple knots, in the beginning and in the end, in a suture mold, in an abdominal cavity simulator, in 18 minutes. The main outcomes were time and quality of performance. The students were evaluated before the first and after all stages of the training regarding the quantity and quality of the knots or the subject of the stage and satisfaction with the training model. ANOVA and Student’s t tests were performed for the independent samples and the chi-square test for the categorical variables. For variables with serial measurements, general linear models were used. Univariate binomial models were used in the evaluation variables of the training model. P values &lt;0.05 were considered significant. Results: The values of the medians were analyzed between the first and last stages of the training; of the number of simple knots (0.0 and 15.0) and laparoscopic knots (0.0 and 3.0), the adequacy of the sizes of the suture tail ends (0.0 and 11.0), the number of adjusted initial simple knots ( 0.0 and 3.0) and adjusted sequential ones (0.0 and 24.0). There was statistical significance in all evaluated parameters (p&lt; 0.001). The learning curve showed that 99.1% of the students attained competence. The degree of satisfactory evaluation of the training model was considered good or great in 97% or more, with statistical relevance in 8 of the 10 evaluated statements. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the students showed competence progression and learning curve evolution. The degree of student satisfaction in relation to the training model stages was very significant.

title: Efficacy of Body Painting in the Teaching and Learning of Anatomy: a Randomized Study

description: Abstract: Introduction: There are different methodologies in teaching and learning anatomy to medical undergraduate students, such as the use of simulators, imaging, Body Painting, among others. Body Painting is a form of body art where human skin is painted, with muscles, veins, bones, nerves and internal organs being projected on the body surface. Seeking adaptations to the growing lack of cadaverous parts and meeting the new curricular demands of medical schools, this research aimed to evaluate the acquisition of anatomical knowledge of the rib cage (ribs, cartilage, intercostal muscles, sternum and thoracic lines), larynx, trachea, nose and paranasal sinuses, with the use of Body Painting compared to the use of cadaverous parts, in addition to understanding and analyzing the perception and meaning of the Body Painting method in teaching and learning anatomy to medical undergraduate students. Method: For this purpose, a qualitative and quantitative research was performed. Regarding the quantitative part, this was a randomized controlled trial before and after the interventions. Students at the end of the first year of medical school were randomly allocated to two groups, 22 in the Body Painting group and 24 in the Corpse group. In both groups a pretest and a posttest were performed. The sample normality test was applied, and the non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the rank scores obtained by each group in the pretest and posttest. In addition, a qualitative approach was performed with the application of the Likert scale and the use of a focus group to analyze student perceptions about this method. Results: In the results, there was no statistical difference when comparing the median scores of the pre-test grades in the Body Painting group with the Corpse Group. This showed that the groups were homogeneous in relation to the level of prior knowledge. The sum of the posttest scores in the Body Painting group was higher than that in the Corpse group, with a statistical difference when comparing the median of the rank scores between these groups. Conclusions: In this study, it was found that the acquisition of anatomical knowledge of the rib cage (ribs, cartilage, intercostal muscles, sternum and thoracic lines), larynx, trachea, nose and paranasal sinuses with the use of Body Painting was slightly superior to the use of cadaverous parts. Partial nudity may initially be seen as a hindrance to the method, but this can be overcome after students experience and engage in body painting sessions. Body Painting, according to student perception, facilitates the teaching-learning process by bringing theory closer to the practice and allowing associations, thus providing meaningful learning.

title: Influence of Gender and Undergraduate Course on the Knowledge about HPV and HPV Vaccine, and Vaccination Rate among Students of a Public University

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the knowledge related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the rate of HPV vaccination among undergraduate freshmen and senior students of medicine, pharmacy, speech therapy, nursing and physical education in a Brazilian university. Methods A questionnaire concerning sociodemographic aspects, sexual background, and knowledge about HPV and its vaccine was filled out by 492 students. Three months later, a second questionnaire, concerning the new rate of vaccination, was applied to 233 students. Results Among the 290 women who answered the first questionnaire, 47% of the freshmen and 13% of the seniors stated they were not sexually active, as well as 11% of the 202 freshman and senior male students. Although the knowledge about HPV was higher among women, they reported a lower use of condoms. More than 83% of the women and 66% of the men knew that HPV can cause cervical cancer, but less than 30% of the students knew that HPV can cause vulvar, anal, penile and oropharyngeal cancer. Less than half of the students knew that HPV causes genital, anal and oropharyngeal warts. Comparing the students, the seniors had more knowledge of the fact that HPV is sexually transmitted, and that HPV infection can be asymptomatic. The rate of vaccination was of 26% for women, and of 8% for men, and it increased to 52% and 27% respectively among the 233 students evaluated in the second questionnaire. Conclusion As almost half of freshman women declared being sexually inactive, the investment in public health information programs and easier access to the HPV vaccine seem to be a useful strategy for undergraduate students.

title: Advantages and disadvantages of teleworking in Brazilian public administration: analysis of SERPRO and Federal Revenue experiences

description: Abstract This study investigates the advantages and disadvantages of teleworking in public administration from the perception of 98 teleworkers and 28 managers at the Brazilian Federal Data Processing Service (SERPRO) and the Federal Revenue Service. Qualitative-quantitative research, consisting of questionnaires applied to teleworkers and interviews with managers, dealt with structural, physical, personal, professional, and psychological aspects. The results showed advantages such as better quality of life, work-family balance, greater productivity and flexibility, the possibility of creating standard metrics, better assessment of the workload, and reduction of costs, stress, commuting time, as well as less exposure to violence. As for disadvantages, the study identified elements such as non-adaptation, lack of communication and connection with the company, psychological problems, lack of infrastructure and control of the teleworker. The research concludes that teleworking requires a management model that makes it more adherent to the public sphere.

title: Living-working and the axiomatic of capitalism: a study based on media outlets in the architecture, decoration, and design segments

description: Abstract New ways of manufacturing and working transcend the traditional limits of space and time, (re)designing everyday life. This article explains how the axiomatic of capitalism, within the current labor configuration and under the notion of immaterial labor, enters the home environment - a space quintessentially related to privacy and intimacy. In order to identify, present and analyze symbolic forms related to the operation of the axiomatic of capitalism with regard to the home environment, this longitudinal exploratory study considers media outlets - used for the modulation of methods of consumption and production of material life - as one of the elements that disseminates the axiomatic of capitalism. In addition to collecting information, symbolical forms were taken from 120 issues (2006-2016) of Casa Cláudia, a publication in the architecture, decoration and design segments. The analysis, based on the Methodology of Interpretation indicated: (i) the (com)position and behavior of the topic in the magazine, and (ii) the (re)functionalization, profitability, and naturalization of the home environment for labor purposes. Both indicate the living-working pair as an axiom of the axiomatic of capitalism. Through this media outlet - with a stimulated, disseminated and dissimulated apprehension - the axiomatic of capitalism deems the living-working pair as an extension of capital/labor without constraints, even in the smallest and most unusual spaces of intimate life.
