title: Brazilian Guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19: Joint guideline of Associação Brasileira de Medicina de Emergência, Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira, Associação Médica Brasileira, Sociedade Brasileira de Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular, Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia, Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia, Sociedade Brasileira de Reumatologia

description: ABSTRACT Objective: Several therapies are being used or proposed for COVID-19, and many lack appropriate evaluations of their effectiveness and safety. The purpose of this document is to develop recommendations to support decisions regarding the pharmacological treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Brazil. Methods: A group of 27 experts, including representatives of the Ministry of Health and methodologists, created this guideline. The method used for the rapid development of guidelines was based on the adoption and/or adaptation of existing international guidelines (GRADE ADOLOPMENT) and supported by the e-COVID-19 RecMap platform. The quality of the evidence and the preparation of the recommendations followed the GRADE method. Results: Sixteen recommendations were generated. They include strong recommendations for the use of corticosteroids in patients using supplemental oxygen, the use of anticoagulants at prophylactic doses to prevent thromboembolism and the nonuse of antibiotics in patients without suspected bacterial infection. It was not possible to make a recommendation regarding the use of tocilizumab in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 using oxygen due to uncertainties regarding the availability of and access to the drug. Strong recommendations against the use of hydroxychloroquine, convalescent plasma, colchicine, lopinavir + ritonavir and antibiotics in patients without suspected bacterial infection and also conditional recommendations against the use of casirivimab + imdevimab, ivermectin and rendesivir were made. Conclusion: To date, few therapies have proven effective in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, and only corticosteroids and prophylaxis for thromboembolism are recommended. Several drugs were considered ineffective and should not be used to provide the best treatment according to the principles of evidence-based medicine and promote economical resource use.

title: Dentists’ perceptions and attitudes towards emergency care for women in situations of violence: a scope review

description: Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate, through a scope review, studies that address the perceptions and attitudes of dentists regarding the care of women in situations of violence. Using the descriptors women violence, dentist attendance or dentist care, 473 articles were identified, of which 13 were included at the end of the selection process. Although the need for training was predominant, it was not sufficient. There is a weakness in understanding violence as a health problem, in understanding the role of the professional in solving this problem, and the factors that can contribute to its growth or its control. The results revealed that the dentist had greater difficulty than other professionals in coping with the issue and required extensive training. The recognition of these cases of abuse by the dentist requires the incorporation of educational measures that cause cultural changes, deconstruction of gender norms and the denaturalization of this social phenomenon.

title: Optimal soybean sowing window adjusted to climatic variability based on El Nino-Southern Oscillation using agrometeorological modeling

description: ABSTRACT Determining the optimal sowing window (OSW) based on climate variability associated with El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can provide valuable information for agricultural planning in the tropics. This study aimed to calibrate, evaluate and apply the CROPGRO-Soybean model for determining the OSW across the ENSO phases for soybean-producing areas in the Pará State, northern Brazil. First, the model was calibrated and evaluated using experimental data collected in the field, between 2006 and 2009. In this process, the model estimates showed a good agreement with the observed data for soybean phenology, growth and yield, demonstrating potential to simulate the crop yield in this part of the Amazon. After calibration, the model was used in the seasonal mode to simulate 18 planting dates, over 39 years and in three locations. The simulated yields were divided into three ENSO phases. The set of sowing dates that showed a high frequency (&gt; 80 %) of yields above 3,500 kg ha−1 integrated the OSW for each location and ENSO phases. The OSW duration differed between locations and ENSO phases, varying more during La Nina than El Nino events. However, regardless of the location or ENSO phase, late sowing was more suitable, because, besides favoring a greater frequency of good climate conditions for the development, growth and high yields, it also favors a lower risk of rainfall during the harvest period.

title: Contributions of educational practice with Geogebra software for male and female mathematics teachers in the early grades of Elementary School

description: Abstract: This paper discusses results of qualitative research that aim to explain the contributions to in-service teacher education at elementary school according to their engagement in practice using GeoGebra to teach geometry in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. We have used action-research methodology. The data were collected through participant observation methods. Also, we have used as instruments a research journal, audio and video recordings of the teacher education program, and semi-structured interviews with two teachers. Categorical Content Analysis was used to address the data. The results suggest that teacher knowledge is molded from their involvement with the program, thus expanding their disciplinary, experiential, and personal relationships by associating theory and practice in this know-how. We also highlight evidence that this expansion and mobilization of knowledge favored the incorporation of GeoGebra in their didactic and pedagogical repertoire.

title: Relationship between sexual maturation and anthropometric and blood pressure indicators in teenagers

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sexual maturation and anthropometric and blood pressure indicators in teenagers. This was a population-based cross-sectional study, conducted with 345 teenagers, aged 10 to 19 years, between 2018 and 2020. In this study, data referent to sociodemographic and anthropometric variables, blood pressure, and sexual maturation were collected. The data analysis was performed by applying the Principle Component Analysis (PCA), which generated three components and then tested the correlation between sexual maturation and the generated components. Most of the teenagers were female (53%), normotensive (66.1%), and with a normal weight (73%). A positive correlation was found between breast development and component 1 and component 2, as well as a negative correlation between the breasts and component 3. In the boys, the development of genitals and pubic hair was positively correlated with component 2 and inversely correlated with component 3. It could therefore be concluded that there is a relationship between sexual maturation and the anthropometric and blood pressure indicators, which proved to be representative variables for cardiovascular risk in teenagers, even if not in their entirety.

title: Bioactivity of fungi isolated from coconut growing areas against Rhynchophorus palmarum

description: Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the chitinolytic activity and bioactivity of fungi isolated from the palm weevil (Rhynchophorus palmarum) and from soil samples from coconut (Cocos nucifera) crops against the insect itself. Initially, to determine the chitinolytic properties of the isolated fungi, their ability to hydrolyze chitin in a liquid culture medium was evaluated. Then, preliminary pathogenicity assays were carried out, using the bean weevil (Acanthoscelides obtectus) as a reference, to select the fungal isolates to be used in the experiments with the palm weevil. Fi n a l ly, the bioactivity of two selected entomopathogenic fungi on palm weevil larvae and adults was assessed. There was no direct correlation between chitinolytic activity and pathogenicity capacity on the bean weevil nor between the isolates and bioactivity on the palm weevil. Beauveria bassiana CSU9 shows the highest activity on palm weevil larvae and adults, with a median lethal time of 0.8 and 14.4 days, respectively.

title: Banana leaf anatomy characteristics related to ploidy levels

description: ABSTRACT. Many important crops have cultivars with different ploidy and provide a diverse choice of materials for breeding programs. Therefore, it is essential to accurately assess the ploidy of all breeding materials. Increased DNA content is known to have various effects on external and internal morphology, an effect known as the “nucleotypic effect”. Thus, anatomical assessment can be used as a tool for determining ploidy in plants, making the chromosome counting technique or flow cytometry unnecessary. This study aimed to evaluate the leaf anatomical characteristics of banana cultivars and understand the relationship between these features and ploidy levels. Thirteen accessions were evaluated, including diploid, triploid, and tetraploid genotypes, and cultivars, resulting from in vitro propagation after 90 days of acclimatization. Five fully expanded young leaves were collected from each cultivar, fixed in FAA70 (formaldehyde-acetic acid-ethanol) and preserved in 70% alcohol. Transverse and paradermal sections of the abaxial and adaxial regions were taken, and variables such as size and stomatal density, leaf thickness in the midrib and fourth vascular bundle region, and thickness of the epidermis, hypodermis, and parenchyma were measured. Results for leaf thickness, stomatal size, and density proved to be appropriate parameters for characterizing banana ploidy levels.

title: Modeling of the height-diameter relationship in eucalyptus in integrated crop-livestock systems

description: Abstract The objective of this work was to compare the height-diameter relationship, described by nonlinear biological models, in Eucalyptus benthamii in monoculture forestry and in three different integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS): crop-forestry, livestock-forestry, and crop-livestock-forestry. The trees were evaluated during seven years after planting. Five nonlinear biological models were fitted to evaluate the height-diameter relationship, and Gompertz’s model was selected to describe the data, although all models described satisfactorily the height-diameter relationship of the trees in the ICLS. The analysis of the data showed that there is no similarity between monoculture forestry and the ICLS as to the height-diameter relationship. In addition, the height-diameter relationship in E. benthamii changes between the different ICLS. Particularly, two systems with cattle provide the same values of maximum growth rate, asymptote, and inflection point of diameter at breast height. Furthermore, with the integration of cattle into the tree component, the produced trees show lower asymptotic heights, with larger diameters when the average tree heights of the ICLS are equal.

title: Eucalyptus staigeriana essential oil in the control of postharvest fungal rots and on the sensory analysis of grapes

description: Abstract The objective of this work was evaluate the effect of Eucalyptus staigeriana essential oil on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Greeneria uvicola mycelial growth and conidia germination on grapes, as well as its potential for the control of postharvest rot diseases and its effect on the organoleptic properties of grapes. The essential oil (EO) showed in vitro antifungal activity against both pathogens, with fungicidal effect on mycelial growth and on conidia germination at the concentrations of 1.0 and 0.5 μL mL−1, respectively. The EO volatile compounds had a fungistatic effect on the mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides and a fungicidal effect on G uvicola. At postharvest, the EO reduced the incidence of ripe rot up to 75% and 86% in the preventive and curative treatments, respectively, and the incidence of bitter rot up to 54% in the curative treatment. Since the EO does not affect significantly grape sensory properties, it does not affect the consumption intention of grapes treated with the EO. The EO of E. staigeriana is efficient in the in vitro control of both pathogens; moreover, it is also efficient in the control of the incidence of postharvest fungal rot diseases, mainly in the curative treatment.
