ABSTRACT. Brazilian consumers are increasingly seeking unique vegetable products, such as mini lettuces. However, their production is hampered by a wide variety of pathogens, including Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, which causes soft rot in lettuce. In this study, we aimed to select biofortified mini lettuce genotypes with good agronomic traits and resistance to P. carotovorum. A randomized block design consisting of 12 treatments, conducted in a field and greenhouse (Federal University of Uberlândia [UFU]), was used to select biofortified mini lettuce with good agronomic traits: SPAD index, stem and plant diameter, stem length, plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight, and bolt resistance. A completely randomized design consisting of 13 treatments was used for resistance or susceptibility testing. The bacterial suspension was inoculated and the following were assessed: disease severity, 16 days after inoculation; area under the disease progress curve, calculated separately at 4, 8, 12, and 16 days after inoculation as well as the sum of data calculated on all the assessment days; and the disease resistance class. The genotypes UFU 215#1 and UFU 215#2 had significantly high carotenoid concentrations. The genotypes UFU 66#4, UFU 215#1, and UFU 215#7 showed high bolt resistance. All genotypes were classified as resistant or moderately resistant to the P. carotovorum isolate, UFU A7.

O Programa de Agentes Comunitários de Saúde nasceu em 1991 com o objetivo de contribuir para melhoria da qualidade de vida da população, tendo como protagonistas os agentes comunitários de saúde. Diante disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a presença da Síndrome de Burnout em agentes comunitários de saúde de Aracaju (SE). A coleta de dados foi realizada com 222 agentes comunitários de saúde das 43 unidades de saúde da família de Aracaju. Os instrumentos da pesquisa foram: ficha de identificação produzida pelos autores para verificar a situação socioeconômica e ocupacional dos profissionais; questionários Job Stress Scale e Maslach Burnout Inventory. Os resultados mostraram que em relação à exposição ao estresse, 57,2% apresentam alta demanda psicológica e alto controle sobre o trabalho; 10,8% dos agentes comunitários de saúde demonstram moderada tendência à Síndrome de Burnout e 29,3% apresentam características equivalentes à doença. Essas características podem estar relacionadas à frustação relacionada à ineficácia da resolutividade dos problemas e ao grande envolvimento dos agentes comunitários de saúde com a sua comunidade. Diante disso, é necessário criar estratégias de intervenção que busquem a prevenção de problemas psicossociais presentes nesses profissionais da saúde.

The Community Health Worker Program was established in 1991 with the aim of contributing to improving the quality of life of the population, with the community health workers being the program's protagonists. In line with this, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of burnout syndrome in the community health workers in Aracaju. Data collection was conducted among 222 community health workers in 43 family health units in Aracaju. The research instruments were: identification sheets produced by the authors of the research to verify the occupational and socioeconomic situation of the professionals; Job Stress Scale Questionnaires and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The results showed that in relation to exposure to stress, 57.2% experienced psychological pressure and marked job control; 10.8% of community health workers showed a moderate tendency to Burnout Syndrome and 29.3% manifested characteristics equivalent to the syndrome. These characteristics of burnout syndrome may be related to frustration with respect to inefficacy in resolving the problems and the close involvement of community health workers with their community. Given these facts, it is necessary to create intervention strategies that seek to prevent the psychosocial problems encountered in these health professionals.
