ABSTRACT Plants undergoing insect infestation release herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) into their environment, which are then used by natural enemies for their benefit. The pest Aleurothrixus floccosus, which affects citrus orchards in northern Chile, specifically at Pica Oasis, poses a year-round threat. Recently, the introduction of the exotic ladybird Clitostethus arcuatus has been noted as a predator of A. floccosus. This study delved into how HIPVs emitted from tangelo (Citrus reticulata × C. ×paradisi Macfad.) and lime (C. ×aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle) infested-shoots impact the behavioral responses of C. arcuatus. The volatile compounds were collected using the headspace technique, revealing notable qualitative changes after herbivory. In two-choice bioassays, the HIPVs elicited an attractive response in C. arcuatus compared to A. floccosus. At concentrations of 10 and 100 µg mL-1, the predators displayed a distinct preference for methyl salicylate (MeSA). These findings underscore that C. arcuatus exploits the HIPVs emitted from citrus infested-shoots, fostering tritrophic interactions. Exploring the impact of whitefly attacks on other fruit trees, emerges as a significant avenue for future investigation.

Abstract Root-knot nematodes are detrimental to agricultural crops and hard to control once established in the field. The objective of this research was to evaluate the growth, sporulation, and capture in vitro of asexual fungi against Meloidogyne sp. Molecular identification of the asexual fungi included in the study was performed by sequencing the ITS1 region of rDNA. The growth and sporulation of Arthrobotrys sp., Dactylellina sp. and Dactylaria sp. was evaluated in five culture media and two types of substrates (rice husks and ground corn). For the evaluation of attraction and capture of the nematodes, second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne sp. All the evaluated fungal isolates grew and sporulated in the culture media and substrates. The fungi Arthrobotrys sp. (C19-1-1) and Dactylellina sp. (C19-48) showed greater effectiveness in attracting and capturing Meloidogyne sp. The evaluated fungal isolates have the potential to colonize different culture media and substrates. In addition, they can form modified and specialized hyphae that control juvenile Meloidogyne sp. nematodes. Therefore, future studies should focus on evaluating fungal isolates against root-knot nematodes under field conditions.

Resumen Los nematodos formadores de agallas son perjudiciales para los cultivos agrícolas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el crecimiento, esporulación y captura de hongos asexuales contra Meloidogyne sp. en condiciones in vitro. La identificación molecular de los hongos asexuales se realizó con PCR utilizando secuencias de la región ITS del ADNr. Se evaluó el crecimiento y esporulación de Arthrobotrys, Dactylellina y Dactylaria en cinco medios de cultivos y dos tipos de substratos (cascarilla de arroz y maíz molido). Para la evaluación de atracción y captura de los nematodos se emplearon juveniles de segunda etapa de Meloidogyne sp. Todos los aislamientos fúngicos evaluados crecieron y esporularon en los medios de cultivos y substratos. Los hongos Arthrobotrys sp. (C19-1-1) y Dactylellina sp. (C19-48) mostraron mayor efectividad en la atracción y captura de Meloidogyne sp. Los aislamientos fúngicos evaluados tienen el potencial de colonizar diferentes medios de cultivos y substratos. Además, pueden formar hifas modificadas y especializadas que controlan nematodos juveniles de Meloidogyne sp. Por lo tanto, los futuros estudios se deberían centrar en evaluar los aislados fúngicos contra los nematodos formadores de agallas en condiciones de campo.

ABSTRACT Bird droppings are an unusual food resource for coprophagous insects and used mostly by opportunistic decomposers. Among them, dung beetles feed mainly on dung, although the species differ in their trophic plasticity. Here we report a record of a dung beetle, Canthidium cf. gracilipes, reaching and manipulating the dropping of a passeriform bird, Dendrocincla fuliginosa (Dendrocolaptidae). The behavior was observed in an urban forest fragment located in the Amazonian city of Manaus, Brazil. Two hours after the bird defecated, the dung beetle reached the dropping and started manipulating them with its fore- and hindlegs. It did not eat the dung, though. For a clear understanding of the relationships between bird droppings and Amazonian dung beetles, it will be important to perform standardized experiments with a wide variety of native dung and carrion types.

RESUMO Excrementos de aves correspondem a um recurso alimentar pouco comum para insetos coprófagos, sendo utilizados geralmente por decompositores oportunistas. Entre eles, os rola bostas se alimentam principalmente de fezes, entretanto a plasticidade alimentar varia entre as espécies. Neste estudo nós reportamos um registro do rola bosta Canthidium cf. gracilipes se aproximando de e manipulando os excrementos de uma ave passeriformes, Dendrocincla fuliginosa (Dendrocolaptidae). O comportamento foi observado em um fragmento localizado na cidade amazônica de Manaus, Brasil. Duas horas depois de que a ave defecou, o rola bosta se aproximou das fezes e começou a manipulá-las com as patas anteriores e posteriores. Entretanto, não se observou consumo do excremento. Para uma compreensão mais clara das relações entre os excrementos de aves e os rola bostas amazônicos, é importante a realização de experimentos padronizados com uma ampla variedade de fezes e carcaças nativas.

Abstract Nano-sensor can directly monitor human motion, and transmit the data to the monitoring center through the micro-nano interface, which can be analyzed and processed based on real-time monitoring data under the premise of execution capability. Due to the defense human motion posture trajectory data containing rapidly changing angular velocity and acceleration, it is difficult to perform fine localization and analysis during rapid motion. Therefore, a trajectory method for defense human motion posture based on nano-sensor is proposed. First, nano-sensor monitoring nodes are arranged to set up the defense data mining process and initially obtain the defense human motion posture trajectory data. Second, the collected data are used to build a trajectory description model to match the trajectory states under different virtual forces. Finally, according to the trajectory state conversion of human running trajectory coordinate system, using the gravitational model to determine the attraction and repulsion of the defending human, to achieve the deep mining of defense posture data. The results show that the proposed method can classify the five defense poses more accurately than other traditional methods, and the accuracy of defensive posture recognition is high. It can truly restore the execution of tactics, arrange the offensive and defense positions of personnel, and better design the defense and offensive strategies of personnel.

Resumo: A dificuldade de acesso aos serviços de atenção ao parto está associada à mortalidade infantil e neonatal e à morbimortalidade materna. Neste estudo, dados do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) foram utilizados para mapear a evolução da acessibilidade geográfica ao parto hospitalar de risco habitual no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, correspondentes a 418.243 internações nos biênios 2010-2011 e 2018-2019. Foram estimados os fluxos de deslocamento, as distâncias percorridas e o tempo de deslocamento intermunicipal entre o município de residência e de internação das gestantes. Houve um crescimento de 15,9% para 21,5% na proporção de gestantes que precisaram se deslocar. A distância percorrida aumentou de 24,6 para 26km, e o tempo de deslocamento de 76,4 para 96,1 minutos, com grande variação entre as Regiões de Saúde (RS). As gestantes residentes na RS Centro Sul se deslocaram mais frequentemente (37,4-48,9%), e as residentes nas RS Baía da Ilha Grande e Noroeste percorreram as maiores distâncias (90,9-132,1km) e levaram mais tempo para chegar ao hospital no último biênio (96-137 minutos). A identificação dos municípios que receberam gestantes de muitos outros municípios e daqueles que atenderam maior volume de gestantes (núcleos e polos de atração, respectivamente) refletiu a indisponibilidade e as disparidades no acesso aos serviços. As desigualdades regionais e a redução da acessibilidade alertam para a necessidade de adequar a oferta à demanda e de revisar a distribuição dos serviços de atenção ao parto no Rio de Janeiro. O estudo contribui para as pesquisas e o planejamento sobre o acesso a serviços de saúde materno-infantil, além de servir como referência para outros estados do país.

Abstract: Difficult access to birth care services is associated with infant and neonatal mortality and maternal morbidity and mortality. In this study, data from the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) were used to map the evolution of geographic accessibility to hospital birth of usual risk in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, corresponding to 418,243 admissions in 2010-2011 and 2018-2019. Travel flows, distances traveled, and intermunicipal travel time between the pregnant women’s municipality and hospital location were estimated. An increase from 15.9% to 21.5% was observed in the number of pregnant women who needed to travel. The distance traveled increased from 24.6 to 26km, and the travel time from 76.4 to 96.1 minutes, with high variation between Health Regions (HR). Pregnant women living in HR Central-South traveled more frequently (37.4-48.9%), and those living in the HRs Baía da Ilha Grande and Northwest traveled the largest distances (90.9-132.1km) and took more time to get to the hospital in 2018-2019 (96-137 minutes). The identification of municipalities that received pregnant women from many other municipalities and municipalities that treated a higher number of pregnant women (hubs and attraction poles, respectively) reflected the unavailability and disparities in access to services. Regional inequalities and reduced accessibility highlight the need to adapt supply to demand and review the distribution of birth care services in the state of Rio de Janeiro. This study contributes to research and planning on access to maternal and child health services and can be used as a reference study for other states in the country.

Therefore, the numerical study provides a visual representation of the results stated in the qualitative analysis.

ABSTRACT The article aims to identify specificities and strategies for the organization of Primary Health Care (PHC) in Remote Rural Municipalities (MRR) in western Pará in the face of singularities in the Amazonian. Multiple case study in five municipalities, with interviews: municipal managers, nurses and physicians from the Family Health Teams. The analysis dimensions were: territorialization, scope of practices and agenda organization, interprofessional collaboration, professional attraction and retention initiatives and use of information and communication technologies. The work of the PHC in the MRR, mainly in the countryside, is organized primarily around care, individual procedures and immunization. Nurses, nursing technicians and Community Health Agents (CHA) from the countryside have an expanded scope of action, often due to the absence of physicians. In addition to the positive impact of the Mais Médicos Program, local strategies for itinerant care and on-call for emergencies stand out. Territorialization, central to the discussion of sustainable and healthy territories, must be dynamic and require different arrangements, adjusting the number of families per CHA/teams. Specific strategies to organize a comprehensive PHC integrated into the Health Care Network, sufficient and differentiated federal funding and professional training aimed at rural areas, are necessary to guarantee access and quality of services to all citizens.

RESUMO O artigo objetiva identificar especificidades e estratégias da organização da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) em Municípios Rurais Remotos (MRR) do Oeste do Pará frente às singularidades do contexto amazônico. Realizou-se estudo de casos múltiplos em cinco municípios por meio de entrevistas com gestores municipais, enfermeiros e médicos de Equipes de Saúde da Família. As dimensões de análise foram a territorialização, escopo de práticas e organização da agenda, colaboração interprofissional, iniciativas de atração e fixação profissional e uso de tecnologias de informação e comunicação. O trabalho da APS nos MRR, principalmente no interior, organiza-se prioritariamente em atendimentos, procedimentos individuais e imunização. Enfermeiros, técnicos de enfermagem e Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) do interior possuem escopo de ações ampliado, muitas vezes, por ausência de médicos. Além do impacto positivo do Programa Mais Médicos, destacam-se estratégias locais de atendimentos itinerantes e sobreaviso para urgência. A territorialização, central na discussão de territórios sustentáveis e saudáveis, deve ser dinâmica e exige arranjos diferenciados, com adequação do número de famílias por ACS e por equipes. Estratégias específicas para organizar uma APS integral e integrada à Rede de Atenção à Saúde, financiamento federal suficiente e diferenciado e formação profissional direcionada ao rural são necessárias para garantir acesso e qualidade dos serviços a todos os cidadãos.

Abstract The article analyses the impact of the implementation of China’s “Zero COVID” policy on the country’s economy and its status as new destination for international migration between 2020 and 2022. From the perspective of economic development and migration theories, the paper first examines the ways in which China’s development policy and strategy, allowed the country to become a center of attraction for international migrants, to then how the anti-COVID-19 measures reverted such process. The article argues that China overturned international immigration, due to its “Zero COVID” policy, which also impacted its economic dynamism from the recent decades. The hypothesis formulated is that the decrease in international migration to China is thus one of the implicit costs of its “Zero COVID “ policy.

Resumen El artículo analiza el impacto de la política “Cero COVID” de China en su economía y en su estatus como nuevo destino de la migración internacional entre 2020 y 2022. Desde la perspectiva de las teorías de desarrollo económico y la migración, el artículo analiza primero la forma en que su política y estrategia de desarrollo permitieron a China convertirse en foco de atracción de emigrantes internacionales, y de cómo las medias anti-COVID-19 revirtieron dicho proceso. El artículo argumenta que China revirtió la inmigración internacional, debido a las acciones de la política “Cero COVID”, que impactaron su dinamismo económico reciente. Se formula la hipótesis de que la disminución en la inmigración internacional hacia China es uno de los costos implícitos de la política “Cero COVID”.

Resumen El propósito de este estudio es determinar la efectividad de la publicidad en términos de recordación de la marca mediante el empleo de la publicidad intrusiva en la red social YouTube. La investigación es de carácter exploratorio y descriptivo que se sitúa dentro del paradigma interpretativo. Se seleccionaron a los estudiantes de marketing y publicidad del primer semestre de 2023 bajo la figura de un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. De la muestra analizada participaron 48 estudiantes que pertenecen a una misma universidad. Los resultados demuestran que la mayoría de los mensajes publicitarios pasan desapercibidos ante los ojos del público online y, en lugar de generar atención, interés o recordación, lo que producen en la audiencia es molestia y experiencia negativa. Ante esta situación, se sugiere el marketing de atracción o de contenido para que el público online sea partícipe en los quehaceres de las marcas en vez de interrumpirlo, ofreciéndole un valor agregado y un mensaje mucho más personalizado.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of advertising in terms of brand recall through the use of intrusive advertising on the YouTube social network. The research is exploratory and descriptive and is situated within the interpretive paradigm. The students of marketing and advertising of the first semester of 2023 were selected under the figure of a non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. Of the sample analyzed, 48 students belonging to the same university participated. The results show that most advertising messages go unnoticed in the eyes of the online public, and instead of generating attention, interest or remembrance, what they produce in the audience is annoyance and negative experience. In this situation, it is suggested the marketing of attraction or content so that the online audience can participate in the brands' activities instead of interrupting them, offering them an added value and a much more personalized message.

Pheromones are essential for colony organization in honeybees. The pheromones 9-ODA ((E)-9-oxodec-2-enoic acid) and 9-HDA ((E)-9-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid), produced by the mandibular gland of the queen, have various functions within the colony, including inhibition of ovarian development of workers, attraction of swarms, and stabilization of the cluster group. An example of reaction of the colony to adverse conditions is absconding, which is defined as mass exit of all of the adult individuals, leaving even brood and food. In this study, the pheromones 9-ODA and 9-HDA were determined in virgin and normal mated, egg-laying European Carniolan and Africanized queens, as well as in mated queens that were in absconding colonies, using liquid chromatography with UV detection developed methodology. Absconding was induced by maintaining free-flying five-standard-Langstroth-frame colonies in a chamber artificially heated to 45 ºC. The obtained results showed that the amount of 9-ODA in Africanized queens (6.56 µg bee-1) is very low compared with European queens. However, large amounts of 9-HDA were found in the queens of absconding Africanized swarms (107.4 µg bee-1). According to our results, the quantities of 9-ODA and 9-HDA in Africanized honeybees in Brazil may be contributing to the high rates of absconding, promoting low effect of stabilizing agent, and high effect of attraction of dispersers cluster.

Resumo O artigo analisou o processo de precarização das relações de trabalho no setor da saúde, demonstrando como essa situação gerou sofrimento dos trabalhadores. O texto buscou registrar como a adoção institucional das concepções econômicas neoliberais, de redução das políticas sociais de Estado, acopladas a um histórico de rejeição cultural aos direitos trabalhistas, proporcionou a atração dos mecanismos de precarização do trabalho, notadamente, a terceirização da mão de obra e da prestação de serviços. No segundo momento, o texto aponta as impropriedades jurídicas cometidas, apresentando as consequências da fragilização do vínculo jurídico nas condições de trabalho desses trabalhadores, principalmente no que se refere às jornadas de trabalho e a remuneração, destacando-se, também, o quanto a disseminação desses vínculos representou um fator de rebaixamento geral dos salários e direitos trabalhistas e previdenciários no setor. Foram apresentados, ainda, dados das pesquisas da Fiocruz sobre condições de trabalho durante a pandemia.

Data from Fiocruz surveys on working conditions during the pandemic were also presented. The article concludes by showing the urgency of rescuing the legal labor institutes that were abandoned in the historical path studied in order to guide the public health policies in a new direction.

Abstract This research analyzes the attraction factors applied to the new shopping center formats called lifestyle centers, which are born to satisfy the new lifestyle demands, with a greater variety of services and experiences that improve visitor loyalty, where there is still a scarce amount of research. For this purpose, an explanatory study was developed through a survey applied to 398 visitors. The statistical analysis was carried out by means of a factorial solution and a structural equation model to estimate the effects of nine latent variables on the dependent variable intention to visit. The results reveal the existence of the proposed factors (accessibility and convenience, variety of offerings, physical environment, permanent entertainment, perception of luxury, eco-natural environment, uses of technology, special events, and quality of service, complementing the literature. The significant effects of each attraction factor and its ability to influence visitation intention are discussed. The conclusions point to greater relevance compared to other traditional latent variables of the physical environment, service quality, accessibility, events, and the presence of technology services, issues that had not been documented in previous studies, thus, this research contributes to the knowledge to improve the attractiveness of lifestyle centers.

Resumen esta investigación analiza los factores de atracción aplicados a los nuevos formatos de centros comerciales llamados lifestylecenters, que nacen para satisfacer las nuevas demandas de estilos de vida, con una mayor variedad de servicios y experiencias que mejoren la lealtad de visita, donde todavía existe un escaso número de investigaciones. Para tal efecto, se desarrolló un estudio de carácter explicativo a través de una encuesta aplicada a 398 visitantes. El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante una solución factorial y un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para estimar los efectos de nueve variables latentes hacia la variable dependiente intención de visita. Los resultados revelan la existencia de los factores propuestos (accesibilidad y conveniencia, variedad de la oferta, ambiente físico, entretenimiento permanente, percepción de lujo, ambiente eco-natural, usos de tecnología, eventos especiales y calidad del servicio, complementando la literatura. Se discuten los efectos significativos de cada factor de atracción y su capacidad para influir en la intención de visita. Las conclusiones señalan una mayor relevancia frente a otras variables latentes tradicionales del ambiente físico, la calidad del servicio, la accesibilidad, realización de eventos, la presencia de servicios de tecnología, cuestiones que no habían sido documentadas en estudios previos, por lo que esta investigación contribuye al conocimiento para mejorar la capacidad de atracción de los lifestylecenters.

Abstract Timor-Leste is a country with a rich natural and cultural heritage, with great potential to develop tourism to support the country's economic development. The touristic infrastructures are deficient and the touristic attributes are deficient, so the number of visitors is relatively small. The question that arises is “How to overcome these limitations to the development of the tourism sector?”. This study sought to identify the motivations and expectations of visitors as well as their satisfaction with the Timor-Leste destination. For its implementation, primary data were collected through a questionnaire survey among visitors to Timor-Leste. The study concluded that most of the interviewees, visitors, came from Australia, followed by Portugal and that the purpose of the trip was mostly professional. The attributes constituted by the climate, tranquillity and hospitality were valued in a satisfactory or very satisfactory way by the visitors; in the group regarding direct usufruct, satisfaction and a lot of satisfaction were always superior to dissatisfaction, although with some warning signs in dissatisfaction; in prices charged, the degree of dissatisfaction was around 40%, and the quality of the infrastructures showed the greatest signs of dissatisfaction on the part of visitors. The proposals for improvement and recommendations were: not leaving litter on the beaches, improving sanitation, road conditions, tourist information and guides, accommodation and ecotourism conditions, public transport in Dili and in the Districts, entertainment, tourist attraction and traditional gastronomy.

Resumo Timor-Leste é um país com um rico património natural e cultural, com grande potencial para desenvolver o turismo para suportar o desenvolvimento económico do país. As infraestruturas turísticas são modestas e os atributos turísticos deficientes, pelo que o número de visitantes é relativamente pequeno. A questão que se coloca é “Como ultrapassar estas limitações ao desenvolvimento do setor do turismo”. Este estudo procurou identificar as motivações e expetativas dos visitantes assim como a sua satisfação com o destino Timor-Leste. Para a sua concretização, foram recolhidos dados primários através de inquérito por questionários junto de visitantes de Timor-Leste. O trabalho concluiu que a maioria dos entrevistados, visitantes, era proveniente d Austrália, logo seguida de Portuga e que a finalidade da viagem era maioritariamente profissional. Os atributos constituídos pelo clima, tranquilidade e hospitalidade foram valorizados de forma satisfatória ou muito satisfatória pelos visitantes; nos do grupo respeitante ao usufruto direto, a satisfação e a muita satisfação foram sempre superiores à insatisfação embora com alguns sinais de alerta na insatisfação, nos preços praticados, o grau de insatisfação rondou os 40%, e na qualidade das infraestruturas verificaram-se os maiores sinais de insatisfação por parte dos visitantes. As propostas de melhoria e recomendações foram: não deixar lixo nas praias, melhoria do saneamento, condições das estradas, informações e guias turísticos, condições de alojamento e de ecoturismo, transportes públicos em Díli e nos Distritos, animação, atração turística e gastronomia tradicional.
