Objective: to analyze the correlation between time on target and glycated hemoglobin in people living with diabetes mellitus and carrying out continuous blood glucose monitoring or self-monitoring of capillary blood glucose. Method: systematic review of etiology and risk based on JBI guidelines and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses, covering six databases and grey literature. The sample included 16 studies and methodological quality was assessed using JBI tools. Protocol registered in the Open Science Framework, available at https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NKMZB. Results: time on target (70-180 mg/dl) showed a negative correlation with glycated hemoglobin, while time above target (>180 mg/dl) showed a positive correlation. Correlation coefficients ranged between -0.310 and -0.869 for time on target, and between 0.66 and 0.934 for time above target. A study was carried out on a population that performed self-monitoring. Conclusion: there is a statistically significant correlation between time on target and time above target with glycated hemoglobin. The higher the proportion in the adequate glycemic range, the closer to or less than 7% the glycated hemoglobin will be. More studies are needed to evaluate this metric with data from self-monitoring of blood glucose.

A amostra incluiu 16 estudos e a qualidade metodológica foi avaliada utilizando as ferramentas do JBI. Registrado protocolo no Open Science Framework, disponível em https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NKMZB. Resultados: tempo no alvo (70-180 mg/dl) apresentou correlação negativa com a hemoglobina glicada, enquanto o tempo acima do alvo (>180 mg/dl) mostrou correlação positiva. Os coeficientes de correlação variaram entre -0,310 e -0,869 para o tempo no alvo, e entre 0,66 e 0,934 para o tempo acima do alvo. Um estudo foi efetuado com população que realizava a automonitorização. Conclusão: há correlação estatisticamente significativa entre o tempo no alvo e o tempo acima do alvo com a hemoglobina glicada. Quanto maior a proporção na faixa glicêmica adequada, mais próxima ou inferior a 7% estará a hemoglobina glicada. São necessários mais estudos que avaliem essa métrica com dados da automonitorização da glicemia.

ABSTRACT The Northeast region of Brazil is the primary producer of yellow passion fruit. In recent years, water scarcity has led passion fruit growers to use highly saline water for cultivation. Therefore, implementing technologies that alleviate the negative effects of salt stress on plants is a promising approach, particularly in semi-arid conditions. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of organomineral fertilizers in mitigating salt stress effects on chlorophyll-a fluorescence and gas exchange in ‘Guinezinho’ yellow passion fruit seedlings. The treatments were arranged in randomized blocks with four replicates and four seedlings per plot, following a 2 × 3 factorial design. The factors considered were irrigation using water with low (0.18 dS m-1) and high (4.0 dS m-1) electrical conductivity and three liquid organomineral attenuators (Codasal™, Aminoagro Raiz™, and a mixture of Codasal™ + Aminoagro Raiz™ at a 1:1 v/v ratio), applied through fertigation. Irrigation with water containing 4.0 dS m-1 electrical conductivity, combined with liquid fertilizers, resulted in increased substrate salinity, and reduced stomatal conductance in yellow passion fruit seedlings, particularly when Codasal™ was applied. Application of Codasal™ alone or in combination with Aminoagro Raiz™ significantly enhanced variable fluorescence, quantum efficiency of PSII, CO2 assimilation rate, and instantaneous carboxylation efficiency in ‘Guinezinho’ yellow passion fruit seedlings.

RESUMO O Nordeste é a principal região produtora de frutos de maracujazeiro-amarelo no Brasil, que devido à escassez hídrica ocorrida nos últimos anos, os passifloricultores utilizam água de elevada concentração de sais para exploração da cultura. Dessa forma, o emprego de tecnologias que possibilite a atenuação do estresse salino às plantas é uma estratégia promissora nas condições de semiárido. Objetivou-se com o trabalho avaliar a ação de fertilizantes organominerais como atenuador do estresse salino sobre a fluorescência da clorofila a e trocas gasosas de mudas maracujazeiro-amarelo acesso ‘Guinezinho’. Os tratamentos foram distribuídos em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições e quatro mudas por parcela, empregando o esquema fatorial 2 × 3, referente às irrigação com água de baixa (0,18 dS m-1) e alta (4,00 dS m-1) condutividade elétrica e três atenuadores organomineral líquidos (Codasal®, Aminoagro Raiz® e mistura de Codasal® + Aminoagro Raiz® - proporção de 1/1 v/v), via fertirrigação. A irrigação com água de 4,0 dS m-1 associado com fertilizantes líquidos aumentam a salinidade do substrato e reduz a condutância estomática das mudas de maracujazeiro-amarelo, principalmente, com aplicação de Codasal®. A aplicação individual ou associado de Codasal® com Aminoagro Raiz® promove aumentos na fluorescência variável, eficiência quântica do PSII, taxa de assimilação de CO2 e eficiência instantânea de carboxilação em mudas de maracujazeiro-amarelo, acesso “Guinezinho”.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of COVID 19 on mental health among Health Sciences college students. This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study, the sample consisted of 618 university students of health sciences. Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was estimated and the relationship between severe depressive symptoms and associated factors was achieved through multivariate analysis of Poisson Regression. The prevalence of mild, moderate, or severe depressive symptoms was 87.2% among students, while the prevalence of severe depressive symptoms was 18.8%. The factors that were significantly associated with severe depressive symptoms were moderate to severe internet dependence (PR = 3.60), self-perceived health regular / poor (PR = 3.15), female gender (PR = 2, 11), sexual orientation (PR = 2.02), decreased family income during the COVID-19 Pandemic (PR = 1.87) and the presence of some chronic disease (PR = 1.77). The assessment of the prevalence of depressive symptoms among students of health sciences was high and, considering the potential underlying health commitment institutional policies should be outlined, aiming to promote and protect the mental health of this population, as well as mitigate the negative effects direct and indirect effects caused by COVID-19.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os impactos da COVID-19 na saúde mental entre estudantes universitários de Ciências da Saúde. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e quantitativo, cuja amostra foi constituída por 618 estudantes universitários da área da saúde. Os sintomas depressivos foram avaliados por meio do Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9). A prevalência dos sintomas depressivos foi estimada e a relação entre sintomas depressivos severos e fatores associados foi obtida por meio de análise multivariada da Regressão de Poisson. A prevalência da sintomatologia depressiva, seja ela leve, moderada ou severa, foi de 87,2% entre os estudantes, enquanto a prevalência de sintomas depressivos severos foi de 18,8%. Os fatores que se associaram de forma significativa aos sintomas depressivos severos foram a dependência de internet moderada a grave (RP = 3,60), a autopercepção de saúde regular/ruim (RP = 3,15), o sexo feminino (RP = 2,11), orientação sexual (RP = 2,02), diminuição da renda familiar durante a Pandemia da COVID-19 (RP = 1,87) e presença de alguma doença crônica (RP = 1,77). A avaliação da prevalência de sintomas depressivos entre os estudantes de Ciências da Saúde foi elevada e, considerando o potencial comprometimento de saúde subjacente, políticas institucionais devem ser delineadas, visando promover e proteger a saúde mental dessa população, assim como mitigar os efeitos negativos diretos e indiretos causados pela COVID-19.

RESUMO Objetivo comparar a autoavaliação ao falar em público, por meio da Escala para Autoavaliação ao Falar em Público, com a percepção comunicacional e timidez autorreferidos, de estudantes universitários. Método tratou-se de um estudo observacional transversal prospectivo. Foram convidados a participar deste estudo, estudantes universitários do Brasil de diferentes áreas de conhecimento, sendo incluídos os que assentiram em participar. Os participantes receberam convite eletrônico e preencheram um formulário elaborado na plataforma Google Forms que continha questões sociodemográficas, sobre autopercepção como bom falante, sobre facilidade para se expressar, sobre timidez, e a Escala para Autoavaliação ao Falar em Público. Foram comparadas as médias da Escala de Autoavaliação ao Falar em Público com a autopercepção como bom falante, com a facilidade para se expressar e com a timidez. Resultados os participantes que se consideravam bons comunicadores, os que acreditavam ter facilidade para se expressar e os que não eram tímidos apresentaram melhor autopercepção sobre as suas habilidades de fala em público. Conclusão a autopercepção comunicacional positiva, bem como a autopercepção de menor timidez estão relacionadas a uma autoavaliação mais favorável em relação a apresentações em público.

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare self-assessment when speaking in public, using the Self-Statements During Public Speaking scale, with the communicational perception and self-reported shyness of university students. Methods This was a prospective cross-sectional observational study. University students from different areas of knowledge in Brazil were invited to participate in this study. Those who agreed to participate were included. Participants received an electronic invitation and filled out a form created on the Google Forms platform that contained sociodemographic questions, on self-perception as a good speaker, on ease of expression, on shyness, and the Self-Statements During Public Speaking scale. The means of the Self-Statements During Public Speaking scale were compared with the self-perception as a good speaker, the ease of expressing oneself, and shyness. Results Participants who considered themselves to be good communicators, those who believed they had an ease to express themselves, and those who were not shy had better self-perception of their public speaking skills. Conclusion positive communicational self-perception, as well as less shyness self-perception, are related to a more favorable self-assessment in relation to public presentations.

Abstract Objectives Evidence suggests that ketamine’s influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) might be involved in its mechanism of rapid antidepressant action. We aimed to evaluate the differential impact of ketamine and esketamine on serum BDNF levels and its association with response patterns in treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Methods Participants (n = 53) are from a randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing the efficacy of single-dose ketamine (0.5mg/kg, n = 27) and esketamine (0.25mg/kg, n = 26) in TRD. Depression severity was assessed before and 24 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days after the intervention, using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Blood samples were collected before infusion, 24 hours, and 7 days afterwards. Results There were no significant changes in BDNF levels at post-infusion evaluation points, and no difference in BDNF levels comparing ketamine and esketamine. Both drugs exhibited similar therapeutic effect. There was no association between BDNF levels and response to treatment or severity of depressive symptoms. Conclusion There was no significant treatment impact on BDNF serum levels – neither with ketamine nor esketamine – despite therapeutic response. These results suggest that ketamine or esketamine intervention for TRD has no impact on BDNF levels measured at 24 hours and 7 days after the infusion. This clinical trial is registered on the Japan Primary Registries Network: UMIN000032355.

Abstract Objective: Previous publications have focused on a leading pop culture phenomenon, Star Wars, to teach several issues in psychiatry, which can make understanding challenging themes easier. This article delves into matters of differential diagnoses regarding two psychiatric disorders. Methods: We examine and compare the symptoms and specificities of borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder in the light of the fictional villain of the films, Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. Results and Conclusion: Our considerations of his diagnosis should be interpreted as an academic exercise with two main goals: to discuss the differential diagnosis between borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder in an illustrative, soft, and ludic way; and to teach how to connect one’s behaviors with diagnostic criteria - in this case, those related to borderline personality disorder.

Resumo Objetivo: Publicações de outrora utilizaram um dos principais fenômenos da cultura pop, Star Wars, para ensinar diversas questões sobre psiquiatria, demonstrando que usar os filmes da série para ensinar tais assuntos pode facilitar a compreensão de temas desafiadores. O objetivo deste artigo é aprofundar as questões do diagnóstico diferencial de dois transtornos psiquiátricos. Métodos: Nós examinamos e comparamos as especificidades do transtorno de personalidade borderline e transtorno bipolar à luz do personagem fictício dos filmes Star Wars, o vilão Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. Resultados e Conclusão: As considerações sobre o diagnóstico de Darth Vader devem ser interpretadas como um exercício acadêmico com dois objetivos principais: discutir o diagnóstico diferencial entre transtorno de personalidade borderline e transtorno bipolar de forma ilustrativa, suave e lúdica; e ensinar como relacionar os comportamentos com critérios diagnósticos, neste caso, especificamente relacionados ao transtorno de personalidade borderline.

Abstract: Introduction: Health Sciences university students were especially affected by the Sars-CoV-2 virus pandemic. The anxieties intrinsically related to Covid-19 were added to the impacts related to the changes that have taken place in academic institutions, particularly the change to online teaching, a methodology that can generate discomfort for students, in addition to several obstacles related to teaching and learning, which can have important traumatic effects on the mental health of this population. Objective: To assess the mental health burden caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as a traumatic event capable of triggering psychiatric disorders, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), in university students. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study, of analytical-descriptive nature, carried out by filling out an anonymous digital form, initiated after prior approval by the Research Ethics Committee. The subjects were students of Biological and Health Sciences at a State University located in the southeastern region of Brazil. The sample consisted of 618 students. Results: 618 forms were answered by students attending the courses of Physical Education (28.8%), Medicine (25.4%), Dentistry (18.1%), Biological Sciences (15.2%) and Nursing (12.5%). The presence of post-traumatic stress symptoms assessed by the Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) obtained a prevalence of 32.7% (n = 202) among university students from Biological and Health Sciences courses. Conclusions: There was a significant impact on the mental health of university students, with the presence of depressive symptoms, anxiety and stress above those found in the scientific literature and, consequently, a high prevalence of PTSD.

Resumo: Introdução: Os universitários de Ciências da Saúde se tornaram especialmente afetados pela pandemia do vírus Sars-CoV-2. As angústias intrinsicamente relacionadas à Covid-19 foram somadas aos impactos referentes às mudanças acontecidas nas instituições acadêmicas, particularmente a mudança para o ensino on-line, uma metodologia que pode gerar desconforto aos estudantes, além de vários obstáculos relacionados ao ensino e à aprendizagem, o que pode ter repercussões traumáticas importantes na saúde mental dessa população. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a carga mental provocada pela pandemia da Covid-19, como um evento traumático ao ponto de desencadear transtornos psiquiátricos, como o transtorno do estresse pós-traumático (Tept), em universitários. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e quantitativo, com orientação analítico-descritiva, mediante preenchimento de formulário digital anônimo, iniciado após prévia aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Os sujeitos foram estudantes de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde de uma universidade estadual localizada na Região Sudeste do Brasil. A amostra foi constituída por 618 estudantes. Resultado: Foram respondidos 618 formulários pelos estudantes que pertenciam aos cursos de Educação Física (28,8%), Medicina (25,4%), Odontologia (18,1%), Ciências Biológicas (15,2%) e Enfermagem (12,5%). A presença de sintomas de estresse pós-traumático verificados pela Escala de Impacto do Evento-Revisada (IES-R) obteve prevalência de 32,7% (n = 202) entre os estudantes universitários das Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde. Conclusão: Houve impacto significativo na saúde mental dos universitários com presença de sintomas depressivos, ansiedade e estresse acima dos encontrados na literatura científica, e, consequentemente, constatou-se alta na prevalência do Tept.

Abstract Background Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of mortality in Brazil, which includes acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In 2017, 12% of deaths caused by infarction in Brazil occurred in the state of Rio de Janeiro, characterizing it as an important “hotspot” in the country. Objectives This study aimed to characterize the population affected by AMI over the past decade within the state so as to guide future public policies related to CVDs. Methods Secondary data of patients affected by AMI between 2010 and 2019 were obtained by DATASUS. In-hospital case-fatality rates, mortality rates, and proportional mortality were calculated using information gathered by the Mortality Information System (SIM) and demographic statistics produced by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Results The main results showed that in-hospital case-fatality rates were higher in women, patients aged 60 years and over, the black color/race, and the state's Northwest region. The mortality rate was higher among men, especially in the South-central region and those over 50 years of age. People aged 40-49 years presented a considerable risk of death by infarction. The major categories of data classified as “ignored” in hospital admissions and death certificates were those related to race and education level. Conclusions Prevention should not only focus on the elderly, but also on people over 40, especially men. The incompleteness of electronic public data systems can affect the use of race/color or education level as epidemiological variables. New studies should be conducted to understand why the South-central region is so heavily affected by infarction.

Abstract This study aims to analyze the relationship between art and life according to Vygotsky. Therefore, a conceptual analysis of chapters 1, 7, 9, 10, and 11 of Psychology of Art, chapter 13 of Educational Psychology and the text The Historical meaning of the Crisis of Psychology: A Methodological Investigation was carried out. Conceptual research consists of the semantic analysis of the main concepts of a theory to elucidate its hidden or confused meanings and to reveal possible contradictions and ambiguities in the theoretical framework. Results show that art is a dialectical phenomenon both in its creation and its effects. The influence of life, that is, of socio-historical reality, on artistic creation is indirect since it is always mediated by the artist’s particular psyche. The effect of art on life, on the other hand, allows human beings to become aware of their social reality and engage to change it. Art is, therefore, transformative, as it reorganizes the psyche and enables a change in the material conditions of human beings.

Resumen Este proyecto tuve como objetivo analizar la relación entre el arte y la vida, según Vigotski. Para esto, fue realizado un análisis de los capítulos 1, 7, 9, 10 y 11 de Psicología del arte, del capítulo 13 de Psicología Pedagógica y del texto Él significado histórico de la crisis de la Psicología: una investigación metodológica. La pesquisa conceptual consiste en la analice semántica de los conceptos de una teoría, para aclarar sus significados ocultos o confusos y desvendar contradicciones y ambigüedades em el cuadro teórico. Pudimos observar que, el arte es un fenómeno dialéctico en su creación tanto como en sus efectos. La influencia de la vida, esto es, de la realidad socio-histórica, en la creación artística es indirecta, pues es mediada por el psiquismo particular de lo artista. Así, el efecto del arte sobre la vida habilita que lo ser humano adquiera conciencia de su realidad social y que se comprometa a cambiarla. El arte, consiguientemente, transformadora, pues reorganiza lo psiquismo y habilita un cambio en las condiciones materiales de los seres humanos.

RESUMEN Objetivo: El presente estudio tiene como objetivo establecer un corte clínico para la dimensión Grandiosidad, utilizando procedimientos de evaluación a nivel de ítem. Métodos: Los participantes fueron 5.387 adultos, entre pacientes ambulatorios diagnosticados con trastorno de personalidad narcisista (NPD), pacientes ambulatorios diagnosticados con otros trastornos de la personalidad, y adultos de la comunidad. Se administró la escala de Grandiosidad autoinformada del Inventario Dimensional Clínico de Personalidad 2 (IDCP-2). El procedimiento de ecualización se aplicó para generar puntuaciones theta para los participantes que no respondieron a todos los ítems. Resultados: El mapa de Wright reveló que los pacientes ambulatorios estaban ubicados en los niveles altos en el continuo latente de la escala de Grandiosidad. La comparación grupal mostró tamaños de efecto grandes para la diferencia de medias entre pacientes y no pacientes. La curva ROC confirma un corte en -.45 puntos en la estandarización theta que produce una alta sensibilidad (91%) y una especificidad moderada (58%). Además, los valores de PPP (71%) y NPP (79%) indican que la escala puede identificar a los pacientes con NPD en el 71% de los casos y las personas sin NPD en el 79% de los casos. Conclusiones: Los resultados indican que la escala de Grandiosidad del IDCP-2 es útil como instrumento de evaluación para NPD. Se describen posibles aplicaciones clínicas para la escala y se discuten las limitaciones del estudio.

ABSTRACT Objective: The present study aims to establish a clinical cut-off for the Grandiosity dimension, using item-level evaluation procedures. Methods: Participants were 5,387 adults, including outpatients diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), outpatients diagnosed with other personality disorders, and adults from the community. We administered the self-reported Grandiosity scale from the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 (IDCP-2). The equating procedure was applied to generate theta scores for participants who did not answer all items. Results: The Wright map revealed that outpatients scored high on the latent continuum of the Grandiosity scale. Group comparison showed large effect sizes for the mean difference between patients and non-patients. The ROC curve supports a cut off at a -0.45 score in theta standardisation, which yields a high sensitivity (91%) and moderate specificity (58%). Moreover, the PPP (71%) and NPP (79%) values suggest that the scale is able to identify NPD patients in 71% of cases, and people without NPD in 79% of cases. Conclusions: The findings suggest the IDCP-2 Grandiosity scale is useful as an NPD screening tool. Possible clinical applications for the scale are described and the limitations of the study are discussed.

Resumen Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la capacidad discriminativa de los factores IDCP-2 para identificar a las per-sonas con riesgo de suicidio. Además, estamos proporcionando un indicador de suicidio para IDCP-2. Participaron 346 personas de entre 18 y 72 anos que respondieron a ASIQ, IDCP-2 y PID-5. Dividimos a los participantes en tres grupos: grupo de bajo riesgo, grupo de riesgo moderado y grupo de alto riesgo. Realizamos comparaciones de medias, análisis de regresión lineal y verificación de curva ROC. Los factores IDCP-2 pudieron discriminar entre los grupos, y el alto riesgo presentò los medios más altos. La regresión indicò autodevaluación y desesperanza como variables con una contribución única significativa en la explicaciòn del comportamiento suicida. Los indicadores de riesgo de suicidio demostraron un rendimiento adecuado en la identificaciòn de personas según el grupo de riesgo. Nuestros hallazgos indican que los factores IDCP-2 pueden discriminar grupos de personas de acuerdo con el comportamiento suicida. Además, el indicador de suicidio desarrollado mostrò sensibilidad en la identificaciòn de personas que informaron intento de suicidio.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the discriminative capacity of IDCP-2 factors to identify people with suicide risk. Moreover, we are providing a suicide indicator for IDCP-2. Participated 346 people aged between 18 and 72 years who responded to ASIQ, IDCP-2, and PID-5. We divided participants into three groups: low-risk group, moderate-risk, and high-risk group. We conducted mean comparisons, linear regression analysis, and ROC curve verification. The IDCP-2 factors were able to discriminate between the groups, with the high-risk presenting the highest means. The regression indicated Self-devaluation and Hopelessness as variables with a significant single contribution in explaining suicidal behavior. Suicide risk indicators demonstrated adequate performance in identifying people according to the risk group. Our findings indicate that the IDCP-2 factors can discriminate groups of people according to suicidal behavior. Besides, the suicide indicator developed showed sensitivity in the identification of people who reported attempted suicide.

Resumo O artigo percorre as pesquisas sobre campesinato e questão agrária do antropólogo Moacir Palmeira para discutir como a mediação entre a assessoria sindical e a atividade acadêmica não foi de menos importância para suas formulações intelectuais sobre aqueles temas. Enquanto instâncias distintas de observação analítica e prática, essas atividades levaram Palmeira a uma compreensão mais ampla da questão agrária e dos impasses da democracia no Brasil.

Abstract This paper examines the studies on peasantry and the agrarian issue carried out by anthropologist Moacir Palmeira to discuss how the mediation between union counseling and academia was equally important for his intellectual formulations on those topics. As distinct instances of analytical and practical observation, these activities led Palmeira to a broader understanding of the agrarian issue and the impasses of democracy in Brazil.

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo testar a capacidade preditiva de traços patológicos da personalidade e adaptabilidade de carreira sobre quatro construtos que compõem o bem-estar no trabalho: engajamento no trabalho, satisfação no trabalho, burnout e workaholism. Participaram 204 adultos brasileiros trabalhadores (M idade = 34,02; DP = 10,39) que responderam instrumentos que mensuram traços patológicos, recursos de adaptabilidade de carreira e componentes do bem-estar no trabalho. Nossos achados indicaram que os traços patológicos estão, de modo geral, relacionados negativamente com satisfação no trabalho e engajamento no trabalho e positivamente com burnout e workaholism. Após a inserção da adaptabilidade de carreira houve aumento da explicação na maioria dos modelos, sendo que a contribuição única de adaptabilidade foi significativa apenas para predição de satisfação no trabalho.

Abstract This study aimed to test the predictive capacity of pathological traits of personality and career adaptability on four constructs that compose the well-being at work: work engagement, job satisfaction, burnout, and workaholism. A total of 204 Brazilian working adults (M age = 34.02, SD = 10.39) participated in the study, which responded to scales measuring pathological traits, career adaptability resources, and well-being components at work. Our findings indicate that pathological traits are, in general, negatively related to job satisfaction and work engagement and positively associated with burnout and workaholism. After the insertion of career adaptability, there was an increase in most of the models' explanation. The contribution of adaptability was significant only for job satisfaction prediction.

Abstract This paper aims to: (i) investigate whether Republican legislatures were more inclined than Democratic ones to uphold laws of national sovereignty and whether Democratic legislatures were more likely than Republican ones to prioritise bills linked to the post-national perspective; (ii) assess the US migration laws by considering how state-level legal systems affect migrants’ lives. Using data from the National Conference of State Legislatures and Legiscan and techniques like clustering, statistical, and geospatial analysis, we found that bills sponsored by the Democratic Party are indeed more likely to belong to the post-national category than bills by the Republican Party.

ABSTRACT The evolution of the economic context has intensified competition in retail, creating new challenges for companies. Among these challenges are the difficulty of measuring the results of marketing activities, the inconsistency in the sources of information, and the disregard of the temporal characteristics of the returns on these investments. Considering that this context may differ depending on a country’s stage of development, the objective of this study is to analyze the impact of marketing investments on the value of companies. To this end, Tobin’s Q was used as a financial variable and the sample was divided into two groups to discriminate between developed and developing countries. The sample included 1,872 companies from 97 countries. The technique used for analysis was a hierarchical multilevel model of panel data. The results reveal that investment in marketing has a positive relationship with the financial indicator Tobin’s Q, and the impact of such investments in developing countries is greater than it is in developed countries. Thus, from the results of this work, it can be concluded that marketing investments have a beneficial potential for societies, especially those that are in economic environments considered to be in development.
