Resumo: Motivado por investigar aspectos sucessórios no agronegócio, buscou-se analisar a contabilidade e as capacidades de absorção (potencial e realizada) como determinantes para o processo de sucessão familiar e a continuidade da atividade rural. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da aplicação de questionário com produtores rurais da região central do Rio Grande do Sul. A amostra é composta por 200 respondentes. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de modelagem de equações estruturais. Para os produtores rurais a sucessão é um processo que ocorre de forma gradual, quando o sucessor estiver apto para assumir as responsabilidades, porém, a maioria não possui sucessores definidos. No modelo validado, a contabilidade explica 10% da sucessão familiar rural; e contabilidade e capacidade de absorção potencial explicam 25,6% a continuidade da atividade rural. Este estudo reduz a lacuna na literatura científica sobre contabilidade, capacidades de absorção, sucessão familiar e continuidade da atividade rural, temáticas raramente retratadas conjuntamente. A pesquisa implica em melhorar a gestão das propriedades rurais frente às temáticas de sucessão familiar e continuidade da atividade rural, realçando a prática da contabilidade junto ao agronegócio. Isso também reflete em fomento para atuação da classe contábil.

Abstract: Motivated by investigating succession aspects in agribusiness, we sought to analyze accounting and absorption capacities (potential and actual) as determinants for the process of family succession and the continuity of rural activity. The data were obtained through the application of rural producers in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. The sample is composed of 200 respondents. Data analysis was performed through the evaluation of constructed data. Rural producers believe that succession is a process that occurs gradually, when the successor can assume the responsibilities, however, most do not have defined successors. In the validated model, accounting explains 10% of rural family succession, and accounting and potential absorption capacity explain 25.6% of the continuity of rural activity. This study reduces the gap in the scientific literature on accounting, absorption capacities, family succession, and continuity of rural activity, topics rarely discussed together. The research implies improving the management of rural properties in terms of family succession and continuity of rural activity, highlighting the practice of accounting with agribusiness. This also reflects in promoting the performance of the accounting professional class.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of enabling characteristics of budgetary control on the psychological capital of managers with budgetary responsibility. Within the budgetary context, the studies that analyze the effects of enabling characteristics of budgetary control on individuals’ mental states at work are still in their infancy and that is a theoretical gap explored in this research. The research evaluates the interactive and multidimensional effects of enabling budgetary control on psychological capital. It advances the literature by indicating which characteristics exert the greatest influence on psychological capital and its dimensions. The results provide evidence of the enabling effects of enabling budgetary control on the psychological capacities of managers with budgetary responsibility, being positively reflected in their beliefs of self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience for achieving their objectives and the desired organizational results, which tends to have an impact on the individuals’ as well as the organization’s performance. A survey was conducted in a publicly-traded company operating in Brazil, using a quantitative approach to the data (structural equation modeling). The sample analyzed included 85 middle-level managers from different areas of the organization. The possibility of adjusting budgetary reports and accessing detailed information on budgetary deviations (repair capacity), as well as of incurring expenses unforeseen in the budget and adjusting the original budgetary assumptions (budgetary flexibility), positively contributes to promoting managers’ psychological capital. However, this does not occur with internal transparency and global transparency. Within the context studied, the benefit of repair capacity primarily takes the form of self-efficacy, resilience, and hope, while the benefit of flexibility primarily occurs in terms of optimism and hope. These results contribute to organizations designing their management control systems so as to develop the psychological capital of their collaborators and thus obtain the benefits expected from that development.

RESUMO Este estudo investiga a influência das características habilitantes do controle orçamentário no capital psicológico de gestores com responsabilidade orçamentária. No contexto orçamentário, são incipientes os estudos que analisam os efeitos das características habilitantes do controle orçamentário nos estados mentais dos indivíduos no trabalho, lacuna teórica explorada na pesquisa. A pesquisa avalia os efeitos interativos e multidimensionais do controle orçamentário habilitante no capital psicológico. Avança na literatura ao indicar quais características exercem maior influência no capital psicológico e suas dimensões. Os resultados fornecem evidências dos efeitos capacitadores do controle orçamentário habilitante nas capacidades psicológicas de gestores que têm responsabilidade orçamentária, refletindo positivamente em suas crenças de autoeficácia, esperança, otimismo e resiliência para alcançar os objetivos e resultados organizacionais desejados, o que tende a impactar o desempenho dos indivíduos no trabalho, assim como da organização. Realizou-se levantamento em uma empresa de capital aberto que atua no Brasil, com abordagem quantitativa dos dados (modelagem de equações estruturais). A amostra analisada compreendeu 85 gestores de nível médio de diferentes áreas da organização. A possibilidade de ajustar relatórios orçamentários e acessar informações detalhadas sobre desvios orçamentários (capacidade de reparo), assim como de realizar gastos não previstos no orçamento e ajustar os pressupostos orçamentários originais (flexibilidade orçamentária), contribui positivamente para a promoção do capital psicológico dos gestores. Contudo, isso não ocorre com a transparência interna e a transparência global. No contexto estudado, o benefício da capacidade de reparo se dá principalmente em termos de autoeficácia, resiliência e esperança, enquanto o benefício da flexibilidade se dá, principalmente, em termos de otimismo e esperança. Esses resultados contribuem para as organizações desenharem seus sistemas de controle gerencial de modo que possam desenvolver o capital psicológico de seus colaboradores e, assim, obter os benefícios esperados desse desenvolvimento.

Abstract The consequences of traumatic dental injuries can be even more serious when their emergency management procedures are inadequate. Since traumatic accidents frequently occur at school, it is crucial that teachers be knowledgeable enough to assist an injured child. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of the elementary school teachers of a Brazilian city toward dental trauma in permanent teeth, and its emergency practices. A combination of convenience and snowball sampling methods was used. An online questionnaire was distributed through social media, consisting of three parts: demographic characteristics and professional information; previous experiences and attitudes toward dental trauma; teachers’ knowledge of this subject. Descriptive and statistical analyses were carried out. Pearson chi-squared test (p < 0.05) was used. A total of 217 teachers participated in the study. The power of the sample was 95%. Half of the teachers had already witnessed a dental trauma incident involving students, and 70.5% never received any information on the subject. The teachers who were provided previous information were the ones who opted to search for the tooth fragment (p=0.036) in cases of crown fracture, and for the lost tooth (p = 0.025) in cases of avulsion. They were also the ones who chose to wash the tooth in running water (p = 0.018), and look for a dentist in the first 30 or 60 minutes after the trauma (p = 0.026). Most of the teachers assessed did not have adequate knowledge of dental trauma. Having previous information was associated with more assertive practices in trauma management.

Abstract The social isolation measures adopted during the critical phase of the COVID-19 pandemic led children to spend most of their time at home. Isolation may alter the pattern of traumatic dental injury occurrences, inasmuch as studies point out that most traumatic accidents occur at home. Considering this scenario and the influence of emergency management on the prognosis of the injury, the aim of this study was to evaluate the experience of traumatic dental injuries in children before and during the pandemic, and the knowledge of this topic by the children’s guardians. This cross-sectional study was conducted with guardians of children aged 0 to 6 years, residing in Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil. The guardians answered an online questionnaire addressing personal information, traumatic dental injury experience before and during the pandemic, and knowledge of this topic. Descriptive and statistical analyses were performed using Pearson’s chi-square test at a 5% significance level. The total sample consisted of 343 volunteers. A total of 95 and 92 injuries were reported before and during the pandemic, respectively; the home was the place of greatest occurrence. Most volunteers (88.1%) agreed that traumatic dental injuries are emergency situations, and were aware that the tooth/fragment had to be taken to the dentist after a fracture or avulsion (97.4%). This study revealed that the traumatic dental injury experience was similar before and during the pandemic, and that the volunteers had satisfactory knowledge, especially in recognizing the importance of immediate attention for a more favorable prognosis of these injuries.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the use of digital resources by Brazilian phonoaudiologists before and during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: cross-sectional study carried out with a representative sample of Brazilian phonoaudiologists, with at least one year of practical experience. An online questionnaire consisting of 28 questions divided into eight sections was prepared. Data were analyzed and are reported as absolute and relative frequency regarding the variables: respondent’s age, highest degree and years of experience; weekly working hours; region of the country; type of service and area of expertise; use of digital means before and during the pandemic and willingness to use the same kind of resource after the pandemic. Results: telehealth technologies were used by 90% of phonoaudiologists in Brazil since before the COVID-19 pandemic. A change in the profile of technologies used was observed: after the pandemic, videoconferences gained more use in contact with patients compared to the pre-pandemic period even though contact via mobile phone and instant messaging applications are the most used, both before and during the pandemic. Conclusion: the study's findings demonstrate that 90% of phonoaudiologists who answered the questionnaire in Brazil used and still make use of telehealth technologies to contact patients.

ABSTRACT This research analyzed the enabling cognitive effects of vertical information sharing on psychological capital, managerial attitudes, and managerial performance of professional controllers. A descriptive and quantitative survey was carried out with 267 professionals in the controllership area of companies operating in Brazil. In the context of the budget, the results indicate that, with the sharing of information between superiors and subordinates, the psychological capacities of these professionals are promoted, stimulating self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism, dimensions that comprise psychological capital. People with a positive state of psychological development enhanced their involvement in work, reflecting positively on attitudes that promote performance in the tasks under their responsibility. The research contributes by providing new evidence of the effects of information sharing in companies operating in Brazil on the psychological capital of controllers and the intervening effects of the psychological capabilities of these professionals in the existing relationship between information sharing and managerial performance, which occurs through the promotion of proactive managerial attitudes toward budgeting and engagement at work, which positively reflect on managerial performance.

ABSTRACT We aimed to evaluate the effects of the addition of oregano (Origanum vulgare) or green tea (Camellia sinensis L.) extracts (separately and associated) on feed intake, milk production, and hematological and antioxidant profiles of dairy cows. For that purpose, 16 Holstein and 16 Holstein-Gyr cows with 526.3±10.2 kg and within the first third of lactation were distributed according to a complete block design with measurements repeated in time. Treatments were control (CON), addition of 0.056% of oregano extract (OR), addition of 0.028% of green tea extract (GT), addition of a mixture of OR and GT extract (0.056% each) in the diet (MIX). Hematological and antioxidant profiles were monitored. Data were subjected to ANOVA, with block, treatment, days, and their interactions considered as fixed effects and animal and the residue as random effects. In Holstein cows, GT increased feed intake and milk yield compared with CON; in Holstein-Gyr crossbred cows, OR showed increased intake and GT increased milk yield compared with CON. Compared with CON, GT and OR decreased eosinophils concentration; OR showed the highest neutrophils concentration and neutrophils to leukocyte ratio. Compared with CON, OR presented increased catalase (CAT) activity, while GT increased the reduced glutathione concentration. The MIX treatment reduced CAT activity compared with OR, presented the lowest concentration of oxidized dichlorofluorescein in the erythrocytes (DCFER) and plasma (DCFPLA), and increased eosinophils concentration compared with GT and OR. Extracts differently affected feed intake and milk yield depending on genetic group. Feeding green tea and oregano extracts separately or associated distinctly affects the antioxidant indicators of lactating dairy cows.

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of crude protein (CP) reduction in four diets (156, 139, 132, and 127 g Kg-1 DM) maintaining constant metabolizable protein (188 g/day) on the follicular fluid and cumulus-oocyte complexes of mid-lactating Girolando cows. Twenty-two Girolando cows with average of 21.55 ±3.19 L daily milk yield, 105.30 ±22.62 days in lactation and 3.22 ±0.03 body condition score were selected. To reduce CP in diets and maintain constant metabolizable protein, urea and soybean meal were gradually replaced by lignosulfonate-treated soybean meal (SoyPass®, Cargill), resulting in an increase in rumen-undegradable protein and a reduction in rumen degradable protein. A linear and quadratic reduction was observed in the plasma and follicular fluid urea nitrogen concentration following CP reduction, with the most intense reduction occurring in the 127 g Kg-1 DM group (p<0.001). As CP reduced, there was a tendency for a linear increase in the follicular growth rate (P=0.0696), on the number and proportion of viable oocytes (P<0.09), and also a linear increase for the number (P=0.0397) and proportion (P<0.09) of grade I viable oocytes. Plus, there was a linear effect for the number of cumulus oophorus cells. Cows fed with the lowest amount of CP had cumulus-oocyte complexes with higher numbers of cumulus oophorus cells (P=0.0238). Also, the reduction of diet crude protein was followed by a decrease in the probability of oocytes’ DNA degradation. In conclusion, the reduction of CP in the diet of mid-lactating Girolando cows, reduces urea nitrogen concentration in both blood plasma and follicular fluid, and, as a consequence, increases the viability of oocytes and the number of cumulus oophorus cells while reducing oocytes’ DNA degradation of follicular included cumulus-oocyte complex. The reduction on dietary CP may improve in vivo oocytes’ embryo development impacting fertility of lactating dairy cows.

Resumo Objetivo: estimar a prevalência das estratégias de coping utilizadas em situações de ansiedade por discentes do curso de enfermagem nos quatros anos de graduação. Métodos: transversal, correlacional, realizado no Paraná- Brasil com 135 estudantes universitários. Foi aplicado o questionário de auto avaliação para Ansiedade (IDATE) e o Inventario de Estratégias de Coping. As Análises foram feitas pelo programa SPSS, versão 25, pelos testes de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis, Jonckheere-Terpstra e correlação de Spearman, em nível α<0,05. Resultados: IDATE Traço: O Domínio 1 refere-se ao “confronto” e apresenta-se como uma estratégia bem utilizada ao longo das séries (r: 0,27). O domínio D5, “Fuga- Esquiva”, foi utilizado como meio de enfrentamento a determinadas situações (r:0,29). Ansiedade Traço-Estado: Houveram 66% dos graduandos de enfermagem com ansiedade e sintomas compatíveis com os transtornos de ansiedade no domínio denominado Traço (n=10) e 31,8% (n=43) dos alunos da 1ª série apresentaram sintomas compatíveis com a ansiedade, seguido de 26,6% (n=36) de alunos da 4ª série. Conclusão: as estratégias de coping foram utilizadas com menor frequência, denotando que quanto mais avança no decorrer das séries, menos os alunos as utilizam. Porém, o nível de ansiedade manteve-se alto. Esses achados, contribuiu para que sejam criados projetos, grupos de meditação, terapias e afins, com o intuito de ajudar os alunos a minimizarem o estresse enquanto estudante e praticarem a utilização do coping no cotidiano, além de proporcionar melhoria do ensino e melhor domínio do professor em relação ao aluno em situações de ansiedade.

Abstract Objective: to estimate the prevalence of coping strategies used in situations of anxiety by nursing students in the four years of graduation. Methods: epidemiological quantitative, transversal type, carried out in Paraná-Brazil with 135 university students. The Anxiety Self-Assessment Questionnaire (IDATE) and the Coping Strategies Inventory were applied. The analyzes were performed using the SPSS program, version 2.5, using the Kruskal-Wallis, Jonckheere-Terpstra and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests and Spearman correlation, at a level of p <0.05. Results: IDATE Trait: Domain 1 refers to the “confrontation” and presents itself as a well-used strategy throughout the series (r:0.27). The D5 domain, “Escape-Dodge”, was used as a means of coping with certain situations (r:0.29). TRAÇO Status: 66% of nursing students presented anxiety and symptoms compatible with anxiety disorders in the Trait e domain (n = 10). 31.8% (n = 43) of 1st grade students had symptoms compatible with anxiety, followed by 26.6% (n = 36) 4th grade students. Conclusion: coping strategies were used less frequently, showing that the higher the grade, the less students use them, but the level of anxiety remained high. These findings contributed to the creation of projects, meditation groups, therapies and the like, in order to help students minimize stress as a student and practice the use of coping in their daily lives, in addition to improving teaching and better mastery of teacher in relation to the student in situations of anxiety.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a acurácia do ultrassom transvaginal para o diagnóstico de lesões intrauterinas, tendo a histeroscopia como padrão de referência. Métodos Foi realizado um estudo observacional prospectivo em 307 pacientes, submetidas à histeroscopia após ultrassonografia prévia para comparação dos resultados. A histeroscopia foi realizada por duas médicas com experiência, e os exames de ultrassom foram realizados em diversas fontes, públicas ou privadas, como ocorre no cotidiano da assistência à saúde em nosso meio. Foram avaliados sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia, tendo a histeroscopia como padrão-ouro. O nível de concordância foi avaliado pelo teste de Kappa. Resultados A idade média foi de 56,55±12,3 anos. Os resultados para pólipo endometrial foram: sensibilidade 39.8%, especificidade 72,7%, acurácia de 52,8%, e índice Kappa 0,11 (p=0,025). Para mioma, sensibilidade 46,7%, especificidade 95,0%, acurácia 87,9%, e índice Kappa 0,46 (p<0,001). Para espessamento endometrial, sensibilidade 68,7%, especificidade 41,7%, acurácia 47,6%, e índice Kappa de 0,06 (p=0,126). Para atrofia, sensibilidade 6,7%, especificidade 99,3%, acurácia 90,2%, e índice Kappa 0,10 (p=0,006). Para outros achados, sensibilidade 15,6%, especificidade 99,6%, acurácia 87,3%, e índice Kappa 0,23 (p<0,001). Conclusão Nosso estudo demonstrou baixo nível de acurácia da ultrassonografia transvaginal para o diagnóstico de lesões endometriais, quando realizada por profissional não experiente. Assim, é importante considerar o uso da histeroscopia para evitar tratamentos desnecessários e inadequados.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound in the diagnosis of intrauterine lesions, using hysteroscopy as the gold standard. Methods This was a prospective observational study with 307 patients. All patients underwent hysteroscopy after a previous transvaginal ultrasound to compare the results. The hysteroscopy was performed by experienced examiners, and transvaginal ultrasounds were performed in various public and private services, which is reflective of routine healthcare practices in obstetrics and gynecology. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the transvaginal ultrasound were calculated using hysteroscopy as the gold standard. The level of agreement between the two exams was calculated using the Kappa test. Results Themean age was 56.55±12.3 years. For endometrial polyps, we observed a sensitivity of 39.8%, specificity of 72.7%, accuracy of 52.8%, and Kappa index of 0.11 (p=0.025). For fibroids, the sensitivity was 46.7%, specificity was 95.0%, accuracy was 87.9%, and Kappa index was 0.46 (p<0.001). For endometrial thickening, the sensitivity was 68.7%, specificity was 41.7%, accuracy was 47.6%, and Kappa index was 0.06 (p=0.126). For endometrial atrophy, we found a sensitivity of 6.7%, specificity of 99.3%, accuracy of 90.2%, and Kappa index of 0.10 (p=0.006). For the other findings, the sensitivity was 15.6%, specificity was 99.6%, accuracy was 87.3%, and Kappa index was 0.23 (P<0.001). Conclusion Our study demonstrated a low level of accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound for the diagnosis of endometrial lesions, when performed by a non-experienced professional. Thus, it is important to consider the use of hysteroscopy to avoid unnecessary and inappropriate treatments.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the knowledge of undergraduate health care students, about avulsion of permanent teeth. Material and Methods: It is a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of Brazilian undergraduate students of the nursing, medicine, and dentistry degree programs. A structured questionnaire developed by the researchers, containing 18 objective questions about avulsion of permanent teeth was used as the data collection. Data analysis included Pearson's Chi-square and Fisher's Exact. Results: A total of 82.7% dental students, 22.9% nursing students, and 23% medical students had previously received some information about dental trauma. Students in the second half of the dentistry program had a higher percentage of correct answers in all questions (p<0.05). Being in the first or second half of the nursing program had no relation to the percentage of correct answers by students for any questions (p>0.05). Students in the first half of the medical program had a higher percentage of correct answers for six of these questions (p<0.05). Dentistry students had the highest percentage of correct answers in all the questions (p<0.001). Conclusion: Although students from the dentistry degree program report having information on avulsion of permanent teeth, their practical experience was considered low. Upon comparing students from the dentistry, nursing, and medical degree programs regarding their learning about avulsion of permanent teeth, dentistry students had greater knowledge on the subject.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the association between dental caries experience, severe dental caries experience and socioeconomic determinants on oral health-related quality of life among children and their families. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study whose sample was composed of children aged 4-12 years, who sought dental care in a dentistry school clinic, and their parents/caregivers. Dental caries experience and severe dental caries experience were assessed according to the DMF-T/dmf-t indexes. Parents/caregivers answered the Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ), the Family Impact Scale (FIS) and a questionnaire on socioeconomic and demographic conditions. Data analysis included the chi-square test and Poisson regression (PR). Results: The sample was composed of 105 children and their parents/caregivers. Severe dental caries experience in children was determinant for negative perception of children's OHRQoL by parents/caregivers (PR = 1.22; CI = 1.05-1.41). Negative impact on OHRQoL perceived by family members was determined by severe dental caries experience in children (PR = 1.22; CI = 1.05-1.42) and family income <5 minimum wage (PR = 1.32; CI = 1.08-1.61). Conclusion: Severe dental caries experience was associated with a negative impact on OHRQoL perceived by children and their families. Low family income was associated with a negative impact on the OHRQoL perceived by children and their families.

RESUMO Objetivo: descrever os fatores relacionados ao comprometimento psíquico e qualidade de vida (QV) de portadores de esquizofrenia. Método: estudo transversal, descritivo e correlacional, realizado com 119 esquizofrênicos. Foi aplicado um questionário de variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas, mais as escalas BPRS-A e QLS-BR. Foram utilizados o Teste Qui-Quadrado e Correlação de Spearman, Resultados: 77 eram do sexo masculino e 44 faziam uso de medicações típicas. O “Número de vezes que ficou internado” relacionado com o “Tempo de doença” que o paciente convive com esquizofrenia apresentou significância (p=0,266). 91,7% apresentaram Nível Ocupacional grave (n=109). 34,5% (n=41) apresentavam comprometimento moderado. Conclusão: quanto maior o grau de comprometimento psíquico, pior a QV, essa piora pode estar relacionada a diversos fatores, assim como os sintomas da doença.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the factors related to psychological impairment and quality of life (QoL) of patients with schizophrenia. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study, carried out with 119 schizophrenics. A questionnaire of sociodemographic and clinical variables was applied, plus BPRS-A and QLS-BR scales. Chi-square test and Spearman’s correlation were used, Results: seventy-seven were male and 44 were using typical medications. The “Number of times they were hospitalized” related to “Time of illness” that patients live with schizophrenia showed significance (p=0.266); 91.7% had a severe occupational level (n=109); 34.5% (n=41) had moderate impairment. Conclusion: the greater the degree of psychological impairment, the worse the QoL, this worsening may be related to several factors, as well as disease symptoms.
