title: The Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in the Different Phenotypes of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the phenotypes of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Methods This was a cross-sectional study involving 111 women aged between 18 and 39 years old diagnosed with PCOS, according to the Rotterdam Criteria, and grouped into four phenotypes: A: ovulatory dysfunction + hyperandrogenism + polycystic ovaries; B: ovulatory dysfunction + hyperandrogenism; C: hyperandrogenism + polycystic ovaries; D: ovulatory dysfunction + polycystic ovaries. To evaluate the presence of MetS, wemeasured serum triglyceride levels, HDL cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and waist circumference. Results The prevalence of MetS found in this sample was 33.6%, and there was no statistically significant difference (p &lt; 0.05) among the 4 phenotypes. However, phenotype D presented a significantly higher mean glucose level after fasting (93.6 mg/dL) and 2 hours after ingesting a solution with 75 g of anhydrous glucose (120 mg/dL), as well as the lowest mean level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (44.7 mg/dL). The women in this group demonstrated a high prevalence of abdominal circumference ≥ 80 cm (68.2%), as well as the highest mean abdominal circumference (90.1 cm). Amongst the women with an abdominal circumference ≥ 80 cm, phenotype A increased approximately six-fold the chance of developing metabolic syndrome in relation to phenotype C. Conclusion The four phenotypes of PCOS demonstrated similar prevalence rates of metabolic syndrome; abdominal obesity presented a relevant role in the development of metabolic alterations, regardless of the phenotype.

title: Gamification as an active learning strategy in the Physics education

description: Abstract This work presents the results of the learning gain provided by gamification applied as an active learning strategy in Physics classes with high school students. Gamification consists of using game design elements in the learning environment to engage, motivate, and improve student performance. In this investigation, a quasi-experimental study was carried out involving control group (CG) and experimental group (GE). The instruments used for data collection were two equal tests applied before and after the application of the methodology. The performance analysis of each group was performed through the normalized gain test proposed by Hake. The results showed that the students who had gamified classes achieved a learning gain (g = 0.38) higher than the students who had traditional classes (g = 0,11). Given the lack of empirical studies in the literature that measure normalized gain in gamified activities in Physics education, it is hoped that this research may contribute to cover this gap.

title: Calcium phosphate submicrometric fibers produced by solution blow spinning

description: The purpose of this work was to produce submicrometric hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) biphasic fibers by means of solution blow spinning (SBS). This method was chosen due to its lower cost and higher production rate than those of electrospinning, which is normally employed in ceramic fiber production. The fibers thus obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The in vitro bioactivity and cytotoxicity of the fibers were also investigated. The XRD patterns indicated the formation of biphasic HA/βTCP fibers. SEM analysis revealed an interconnected cylindrical morphology with the presence of beads. Fiber diameters in the submicrometric range varied from 374 to 451 nm. TGA results indicated that organic losses occurred solely below 600ºC. All the fibers were non-cytotoxic, presenting an inhibitory concentration (IC) of &gt; IC50. All the samples successfully formed acicular apatite layers when immersed in SBF, indicating a high potential for in vivo bone bioactivity.

title: The outdoor-life ideal in German-Brazilian gymnastics societies (1880-1938)

description: Abstract This paper presents results from researches about an outdoor-living ideal found within the gymnastics societies created by German immigrants in South and Southeast Brazil. In these societies, nature and its elements appear as essential to educational procedures (inside or outside of schools), as well as to the healthcare and the amusement of this group of immigrants, who saw themselves as “pioneers” and “trailblazers” of the Brazilian nature. This paper’s goal is to comprehend the relations between education, healthcare, and outdoor living present in these associations created between the end of the 19th century and the 1930s, when the nationalization politics of the Vargas government were set in motion. The sources for this research are periodicals, festive publications, statutes, photographs, and newspaper clippings. Thus, this paper aims at contributing for the comprehension of the outdoor-living ideal constituted by these societies, considered by immigration researchers as merely “recreational”.

title: Levels of anxiety and depression among early childhood education and primary education teachers

description: Abstract Teaching nowadays has become a profession, which leads to illness. Taking this aspect into consideration, the aim of this article is to verify teachers’ levels of anxiety and depression and their possible association to the level of satisfaction at work and factual data such as age, educational level and religiousness. To do so, 150 professionals teachers, who taught Public Early Years Education and Primary Education levels in a school in the state of São Paulo, were given a questionnaire, based on the Beck Scales (depression and anxiety) on the factual data and work satisfaction and it could be seen that 50% of the subjects presented levels of anxiety and/or depression which were harmful to the educational act. Thus it was possible to conclude that it is necessary to promote educational policies that take teachers’ mental health into account.

title: Didactics and Physical Education teacher education: an analysis based on graduation student assessment

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the learning of teaching with approximately 80 students from a Physical Education graduation course within the context of the formation in Didactics. It is a research cutout involving 14 teacher formation courses, guided by the following questionnaire: what contributions has the teaching of didactics provided to the future teacher, aiming at the construction of their own professional practice? The data were obtained through the use of a questionnaire and group discussions. Theoretically, it was based on the understanding that the act of teaching involves the specialized action of the teacher to promote the learning of their students, requiring the mobilization of specific knowledge, recognized as a professional teaching knowledge basis. The analysis shows that the contributions of the teaching of didactics, underpinned by the critical perspective, can be crucial for the formation of professional knowledge, since the emphasis in the course, as a whole, is on technical education.

title: Anti-racist educational policies in Latin America: comparative studies

description: Abstract This article aims to present an overview of the existing comparative studies on anti-racist educational policies in Latin America, focusing on the black population. The research was conducted on online databases and found 06 papers on the subject, focusing mainly on Brazil and Colombia. Although studies point out that black people in Latin America face similar difficulties in the educational field, the lack of comparative studies on this population in the region is alarming and may be related to the lack of statistical data based on racial criteria.

title: Construction and validation of an instrument for nursing consultation in outpatient chemotherapy

description: ABSTRACT Objective: Construct and validate instrument content for nursing consultation in an adult chemotherapy outpatient clinic. Method: Methodological study composed of two stages: elaboration of the instrument and validation of content. A literary review of the dimensions of customer care was carried out in the light of Theory of Basic Human Needs Theory, culminating in two instruments: one for admission consultation and other for follow-up. The content was validated by the evaluation of listed experts based on the adapted Fehring’s Validation Model. Results: In the first round, two items of the admission instrument and three items of follow-up required reformulation. In the second round, there was an increase in agreement rate: 11% in the instrument of admission and 10% in follow-up. Final Consideration: The instrument represents a guideline for the Nursing Process and future research, but it cannot be seen as a substitute for nurses’ knowledge and clinical reasoning.

title: Study on assessment of proximate composition and meat quality of fresh and stored Clarias gariepinus and Cyprinus carpio

description: Abstract The organoleptic evaluation and proximate analysis of Clarias gariepinus and Cyprinus carpio were determined in fresh fish and when refrigerated at two different temperatures (-21 °C and 4 °C) for a period of six weeks. A panel of twelve trained judges evaluated the color (live), texture, softness and flavor of fish meat after two minutes’ steam cooking. Average score revealed a general decline in organoleptic properties such as color, texture, freshness, and taste of C. gariepinus and C. carpio stored at two temperatures compared to the fresh fish. Proximate analysis revealed a more decrease in crude protein and lipid contents and increase in ash content in C. gariepinus and C. carpio at the two storage temperatures compared to the fresh fish muscle. Moisture content decreased in the fish muscle samples of both the fish species stored at -21 °C but increased in the 4 °C stored samples. pH of fish was found to increase in the two stored temperatures. There were significant differences (P&lt;0.05) in the organoleptic and proximate composition of the ice stored and fresh C. gariepinus and C. carpio, the same temperature and between the two different temperatures. The quality of fish muscle stored at 4 °C deteriorated faster than that of the -21 °C. Thus, storage temperature and duration have adverse effects on the nutritional quality of fish meat.

title: Effect of rice variety and milling fraction on the starch gelatinization and rheological properties of rice milk

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the rheological properties of rice milk produced from raw rice including rice varieties and milling fractions. Rice milk was prepared from two rice varieties, which were Arhent (long grain) and Bengal (medium grain) using brown, head and broken fractions of the two cultivars used. Gelatinization temperatures for each rice variety, milling fraction, and rheological behaviors of rice milk were examined. Flow behaviors of rice milk were significantly affected by the variety and milling fractions of raw rice. The different amylose to amylopectin ratios of the two varieties, the compositional differences and the subsequent impact on the gelatinization temperature of raw rice used in rice milk were the primary reasons for these differences. Rice milk prepared from Bengal showed greater consistency coefficients, showing a Newtonian flow behavior compared to the rice milk made from Arhent variety. Broken rice showed a potential to be as a raw material in the rice milk industry since it showed similar flow properties compared to the head rice (i.e. within the same variety).

title: Optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction of sheep abomasum protein concentrates by response surface methodology and evaluation of their properties

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to extract sheep abomasum protein concentrates (SAPC) by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and to investigate the properties of SAPC. Response surface methodology and Box-Behnken design were applied to determine the optimal parameters for UAE. The maximum water-soluble protein concentration was 320.5 mg protein/g dry raw material under the optimal conditions with ultrasonic treatment time of 28 min, ultrasonic power of 450 W, liquid/solid ratio of 25 mL/g, and pH of 10. Compare with conventional extraction method (CEM), the UAE not only provided the higher protein concentration and yield but also required much shorter extraction times. Additionally, the SAPC obtained by UAE demonstrated better solubility, emulsifying properties, foaming properties and oil holding capacity as compared to CEM. However, use of the UAE method did not significantly increase the water holding capacity of SAPC.

title: Genotoxicity effects on Geophagus brasiliensis fish exposed to Doce River water after the environmental disaster in the city of Mariana, MG, Brazil

description: Abstract The Doce River basin has suffered the largest environmental accident ever occurred in Brazil with the influx of tailings from Fundão and Santarém, belonging to Samarco mining company, due to the disaster in Mariana. A spill between 50 and 60 million m3 of tailings was estimated by the company. According to Samarco, the wastewater was composed mainly of clay, silt and heavy metals like iron, copper and manganese. Thereby, the objective of the present study was evaluated the genotoxic damage in juvenile of Geophagus brasiliensis (Quoy e Gaimard, 1824) exposed to Doce river water before (DRWBA – Doce River water before acident) and after (DRWAA – Doce River water after acident) the influx of tailings from the Germano and Santarém Dam disasters in Mariana, MG, Brazil. For this, 24 individuals of the species G. brasiliensis (obtained on IFES/ALEGRE fish culture) were submitted to a bioassay with three treatments and eight replicates. The treatments were: 1) Control water (water from the urban water supply system, filtered with a 0.45 µm membrane), 2) DRBA and 3) DRAA. After 96 h, these fishes were anesthetized to remove blood for evaluation of genotoxic damage (micronucleus and comet). For the bioassay, a total of 80 L of The Doce River water were collected before the influx of tailings and after the influx and then submitted to metal quantification analysis. Fish exposed to DRWBA and DRWAA treatments showed a significant increase in both the number of erythrocyte micronuclei and the DNA damage index in relation to the control fish; however, they did not present any differences between the two treatments. The results demonstrate that the DRWBA treatment was already genotoxic for the fish, mainly due to dissolved Cu concentrations in the water. The DRWAA treatment probably presented genotoxicity due to the increase in the dissolved fraction and synergistic effects of several metals found in the tailings of the Mariana accident.
