Abstract The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of caregivers' verbal production on the lexical production of infants (30 to 48 months), through a joint reading task. Method: 249 dyads (caregiver-infant) participated and the units of analysis type (number of different words produced without repetition) and token (total number of words produced) were used. Statistically significant correlations were observed in all grammatical categories produced by the dyads, as well as the effect of the caregiver's verbal production on that of the infant. The results highlight the importance and influence of caregivers on children's verbal production, with adults' verbal production being a significant predictor of the language development of infants between three and four years of age when interacting in joint reading contexts.

Resumen El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar la influencia de la producción verbal de los cuidadores sobre la producción léxica de infantes (30 a 48 meses) mediante una actividad de lectura conjunta. Método: participaron 249 diadas (cuidador-infante) y se utilizaron las unidades de análisis type (número de palabras diferentes producidas sin repetirse) y token (número total de palabras producidas). Se observaron correlaciones estadísticamente significativas en todas las categorías gramaticales producidas por las diadas, así como el efecto de la producción verbal del cuidador sobre la del infante. Los resultados resaltan la importancia e influencia de los cuidadores sobre la producción verbal infantil, siendo la producción verbal de los adultos un predictor significativo del desarrollo de lenguaje de infantes entre tres y cuatro años cuando interactúan en contextos de lectura conjunta.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is very prevalent and is the most common cause of vaginal discharge worldwide. It is a dysbiosis resulting from the replacement of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid-producing lactobacilli by anaerobic bacteria in high concentrations, including Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella, Mobiluncus, Atopobium and other anaerobes. BV can be self-diagnosed when the patient presents the classic symptoms, or clinically and laboratory-based, following the Amsel criteria or by determining the Nugent score. The recommended treatments for BV are oral metronidazole, secnidazole and tinidazole, as well as vaginal metronidazole gel, clindamycin cream and Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi gel. The present study aimed to determine the ability of vaginal clindamycin cream, vaginal metronidazole gel and S. terebinthifolia Raddi vaginal gel to inhibit the growth or preserve the population of Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC 19992 microorganisms in vitro. The methodology used was perforation in plates, forming 6 mm wells, where the samples were inoculated. The plates were incubated for 48 hours at 30°C. After this period, by visual plates analysis, was observed that L. gasseri is resistant to S. terebinthifolia Raddi vaginal gel since no inhibition halo was observed. However, L. gasseri was moderately susceptible to Metronidazole vaginal gel and highly sensitive to Clindamycin vaginal cream. As lactobacilli, of which L. gasseri stands out, represent over 95% of the microorganisms 3/16 that inhabit the vaginal environment, maintaining the health of this microbiome, the action of Clindamycin and Metronidazole can lead to an imbalance in the vaginal microbiota, allowing relapses when these therapeutic agents are used to treat BV.

A vaginose bacteriana (VB) é muito prevalente e é a causa mais comum de corrimento vaginal em todo o mundo. Trata-se de uma disbiose resultante da substituição dos lactobacilos produtores de peróxido de hidrogênio e ácido lático por bactérias anaeróbicas em altas concentrações, incluindo Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella, Mobiluncus, Atopobium e outros anaeróbios. A VB pode ser autodiagnosticada, quando a paciente apresenta a sintomatologia clássica, ou clínica e laboratorialmente obedecendo aos critérios de Amsel ou pela determinação do escore de Nugent. Os tratamentos recomendados para a VB são o Metronidazol, o Secnidazol e o Tinidazol por via oral, bem como o metronidazol gel, a clindamicina creme e o gel de S. terebinthifolia Raddi por via vaginal. O presente estudo teve por objetivo determinar a capacidade da Clindamicina creme vaginal, do Metronidazol gel vaginal e do S. terebinthifolia Raddi gel vaginal em inibir o crescimento ou preservar a população dos microrganismos Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC 19992 in vitro. A metodologia utilizada foi de perfuração em placa, formando poços de 6mm, onde as amostras foram inoculadas. As placas foram incubadas por 48 horas à temperatura de 30°C. A análise visual das placas, após o período de incubação, evidenciou que L. gasseri é resistente ao gel vaginal de S. terenbithifolia Raddi gel, uma vez que não foi observado qualquer halo de inibição. Contudo, L. gasseri foi moderadamente susceptível ao gel vaginal de Metronidazol e altamente sensível ao creme vaginal de Clindamicina. Como os lactobacilos, dos quais se destaca L. gasseri, representam acima de 95% dos microrganismos que habitam o meio vaginal, mantendo a higidez desse microbioma, a ação da Clindamicina e do Metronidazol pode levar ao desequilíbrio da microbiota vaginal, permitindo as recidivas quando esses agentes terapêuticos são usados para o tratamento da VB.

RESUMEN: El sinsacro está formado por huesos pélvicos, sacros, vértebras lumbares y algunas vértebras torácicas, y toma la forma de una fina lámina de hueso curvada a los lados hacia abajo. Este estudio está diseñado para evaluar la especialización morfométrica de la porción lumbosacra de la sección vertebral en criaturas aladas voladoras y no voladoras. Se calcularon varios parámetros (relación de partes craneal/caudal y diámetro/longitud) de la columna vertebral lumbosacra en tomografía computarizada (TC). La relación diámetro/longitud del sinsacro fue la más estrecha en avestruz mientras que la más ancha fue en paloma. Mientras que la relación craneal/caudal fue la más pequeña en avestruz y la más grande en la paloma. Los parámetros del pingüino estaban cerrados en relación a los de la paloma. Se supone que esta relación está relacionada con la locomoción de las aves, volando, nadando y/o caminando.

SUMMARY: The Synsacrum is constructed of pelvic bones, sacral, lumbar vertebrae and some thoracic vertebrae, and it takes the form of a thin sheet of bone which is curled downwards at the sides. This study is designed to assess the morphometric specialization of the lumbosacral portion of the vertebral section in flying and non-flying winged creatures. Several parameters (ratio of cranial/caudal parts and diameter/length) of the lumbosacral vertebral column were calculated in computed tomography (CT). The ratio of diameter/length of the synsacrum was the narrowest in ostrich while the widest was in pigeon. While the cranial/caudal ratio was the smallest in ostrich and the largest in pigeon. The parameters of penguin were closed to that of pigeon. It is supposed that this ratio is related to the bird locomotion, flying, swimming or/and strolling.

Resumen El presente artículo analiza escenas alusivas a la composición y la lectura en las novelas conservadas de período Comneno con la hipótesis de que en ellas se problematiza la conceptualización de la literatura -o por lo menos de la novela en tanto género- que circulaba en los grupos intelectuales del siglo XII. Para ello, se estudiarán los comentarios metanarrativos presentes en Rodante y Dosicles de Teodoro Pródromo; las escenas de lectura representadas en Hismina e Hisminías de Macrembolita y, por último, la interpretación de la tradición literaria junto con la composición en Drosila y Caricles de Nicetas Eugeniano.

Abstract This article analyzes scenes alluding to composition and reading in the preserved novels of the Komnenian period with the hypothesis that they problematize the conceptualization of literature -or at least of the novel as a genre- that circulated among intellectual groups of the 12th century. To do so, I will study the metanarrative comments present in Rhodanthe and Dosikles by Theodore Prodromos; the reading scenes depicted in Hysmine and Hysminias by Makrembolites; and finally, the literary tradition interpretation together with the composition in Drosilla and Charikles by Niketas Eugenianos.

Resumen El doble filo crítico que caracteriza la posición de Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui ayuda a hacer un tratamiento de la modernidad hegemónica y sus expresiones por medio de dos movimientos reflexivos simultáneos: el epistemológico y el político. Silvia no realiza su trabajo de investigación a través de las categorías y las herramientas tradicionales, nacidas en la academia elitista que promueve la esterilización política de las reflexiones gracias a investigaciones hiperespecializadas, o realizadas bajo la lógica del mercado de saberes y que es la lógica imperante en las instituciones universitarias. La pensadora andina se dedica a usar instrumentos teóricos cuya base política sea ya de por sí crítica, es decir, no aborda al colonialismo o al patriarcado sólo como temas, sino que lo hace con posiciones anticolonialistas y antipatriarcales.

Abstract The critical thinking that characterizes Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui’s position helps to make a treatment of hegemonic modernity and its expressions through two simultaneous reflexive movements: the epistemological and the political. Silvia does not carry out her research work through traditional categories and tools, born in the elitist academy that promotes the political sterilization of reflections thanks to hyper-specialized research, or carried out under the logic of the market of knowledge and which is the prevailing logic in university institutions. The Andean thinker is dedicated to using theoretical instruments whose political basis is already critical in itself, that is, she does not approach colonialism or patriarchy only as issues but does so with anti-colonialist and anti-patriarchal positions.

Abstract Constrictive pericarditis is understood as the final stage of a chronic inflammatory process that leads to pericardial fibrosis, thickening, and stiffness, causing difficulty in ventricular filling, which clinically characterizes this entity. Although for diagnosis, it is necessary to demonstrate hemodynamic impact through echocardiography, on certain occasions, the radiological findings of computed tomography are revealing and allow patients to be guided correctly. The case patient consulted due to an increase in his usual dyspnea, and in the midst of the COVID-19 epidemiological period, he was not suspected of having another condition.

Resumen La pericarditis constrictiva es entendida como el estadio final de un proceso inflamatorio crónico que lleva a la fibrosis, engrosamiento y rigidez pericárdica, provocando la dificultad del llenado ventricular, lo cual caracteriza clínicamente a esta entidad. A pesar de que para el diagnóstico es necesario demostrar repercusión hemodinámica mediante ecocardiografía, en ciertas ocasiones los hallazgos radiológicos de la tomografía computarizada son reveladores y permiten orientar de forma correcta a los pacientes. El paciente presentado consultó por un aumento de su disnea habitual, y en plena época epidemiológica de COVID-19 no se sospechó de estar ante otra entidad.

Abstract Introduction: Repetitive Negative Thinking (RNT) can be characterized as intrusive thoughts about worries (current, past, or future), negative experiences, and self-criticism, manifesting excessively and persistently. In a transdiagnostic process, it is identified that the RNT contributes to the onset and maintenance of multiple disorders. The present study aimed to adapt the Persistent and Intrusive Negative Thoughts Scale (PINTS) for the Brazilian context, investigating the psychometric qualities of the instrument. Method: Two studies were carried out with participants from different Brazilian states. In Study 1 (n = 258), the adaptation of PINTS and an exploratory factor analysis was performed. In Study 2 (n = 270), a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, and evidence of convergent validity was gathered. Results: Firstly, in Study 1, a unifactorial structure of the measure was indicated. Through Study 2, the unifactorial structure was corroborated, demonstrating adequate internal consistency (precision), demonstrating that PINTS positively correlated with negative affectivity (stress, anxiety, and depression) and cognitive test anxiety. Conclusion: It is concluded that PINTS exhibited satisfactory metric qualities, being a brief and easy-to-administer measure, potentially serving as a useful tool for researchers investigating maladaptive repetitive negative thinking and its correlates.

Resumo Introdução: o pensamento repetitivo negativo (PRN) pode ser caracterizado como pensamentos intrusivos sobre preocupações (atuais, passadas ou futuras), experiências negativas e autocríticas, manifestando-se de forma excessiva e persistente. Em um processo transdiagnóstico, identifica-se que o PRN contribui para o aparecimento e manutenção de transtornos múltiplos. O presente estudo objetivou adaptar a Persistent and Intrusive Negative Thoughts Scale (PINTS) para o contexto brasileiro, averiguando as qualidades psicométricas do instrumento. Método: procedeu-se a dois estudos com participantes de diferentes estados brasileiros. No estudo 1 (n = 258), foi realizada a adaptação da PINTS e uma análise fatorial exploratória. No estudo 2, (n = 270), foi realizada uma análise fatorial confirmatória além de reunidas evidências de validade convergente. Resultados: primeiramente, o estudo 1 apontou uma estrutura unifatorial da medida. A partir do estudo 2, foram corroboradas a estrutura unifatorial e a adequada consistência interna (precisão), o que demonstrou que a PINTS se relacionou positivamente com a afetividade negativa (estresse, ansiedade e depressão) e com a ansiedade cognitiva de provas. Conclusão: conclui-se que a PINTS apresentou qualidades métricas satisfatórias, sendo uma medida curta e de fácil aplicação, podendo ser uma ferramenta útil para pesquisadores que buscam investigar o PRN desadaptativo e os seus correlatos.

Abstract The objective of this investigation was to detect positive cases of 3 species of hemopathogens, from the records of 300 dog samples, without distinction of breed, sex and age from the metropolitan area of Asunción, using the conventional PCR (cPCR) technique. for the detection of Ehrlichia spp. and Anaplasma platys from whole blood and Leishmania spp. in whole blood and spinal aspirate; in addition to blood serum for the detection of antibodies to Leishmania spp. and Ehrlichia spp. using immunochromatographic tests, processed by the Biotechnology Laboratory Division of the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of the National University of Asunción during the first semester of 2021. Out of the 300 records analyzed, 66 were positive for at least one hemoparasite. The detection of positive cases, according to the type of microorganism identified, was for Leishmania spp. 13%, Ehrlichia spp. 9% and Anaplasma platys 0%. Regarding the type of samples analyzed, using cPCR or immunochromatography interchangeably, positive cases were mostly through whole blood 15%, followed by blood serum 6% and finally bone marrow aspirate 3%. Finally, 27 breeds were recorded, of which the mixed breed had the highest number of positive results for hemoparasites (40/66). The findings from this study provide relevant data for understanding the presence and distribution of hemoparasites in canines in the metropolitan area.

Resumo No romance Algún Lugar (2009), de Paloma Vidal, a migração é apresentada como uma questão determinante que molda a experiência de tempo, espaço e vínculos da narradora. O enredo consiste na história de uma viagem que, a princípio, não é uma viagem, mas uma mudança para Los Angeles para fazer um doutorado com uma bolsa de estudos. A mudança é de curta duração, pois nem a narradora nem seu parceiro conseguem se adaptar à cidade. Mas o romance de Vidal também é a história de uma inadequação que contraria as expectativas do mundo globalizado, onde viagens e estadias no exterior são apresentadas como metas desejáveis. Paralelamente à viagem ao exterior, a narradora faz uma viagem para dentro e para trás que gera nela uma desconexão de seu contexto imediato, fato que ecoará na estrutura do texto. 2009, 2009 , (2009) tempo princípio estudos duração cidade globalizado desejáveis imediato texto 200 (2009 20 (200 2 (20 (2 (

Abstract In Paloma Vidal's novel Algún lugar (2009), migration is presented as a determining issue that shapes the narrator's experience of time, space and bonds. The plot consists of the story of a journey that in principle is not a journey, but a move to Los Angeles to pursue a doctorate with a scholarship. The move is short-lived, as neither the narrator nor her partner is able to adapt to the city. But Vidal's novel is also the story of an inadequacy that runs counter to the expectations of the globalized world, where travel and sojourns abroad are presented as desirable goals. In parallel to the foreign journey, the narrator makes a journey inward and backward that generates in her a disconnection from her immediate context, a fact that will be echoed in the structure of the text.

Abstract Objective: To determine the relationship between sexual and reproductive empowerment, knowledge of sexual rights and safe sexual behavior in young Mexicans. Materials and methods: The study was descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 111 young people from Chihuahua, Mexico, who were selected at convenience. The information was collected through an online survey. Results: A significant difference in sexual and reproductive empowerment was found between men and women (p < 0.001), with men presenting higher scores (Mdn= 92.39) compared to women (Mdn= 79.34). No relationship was found between sexual and reproductive empowerment, knowledge about sexual rights and safe sexual behavior of these young people. Conclusion: The young people presented a high level of knowledge about sexual rights. In relation to sexual and reproductive empowerment, males presented higher scores than females. Safe sexual behavior was lower than in other studies in similar populations. In addition, no relationship was found between sexual and reproductive empowerment and knowledge of sexual rights and safe sexual behavior in this population, which emphasizes the need to continue studying these variables due to the scarcity of studies in this population.

Materiales y métodos: El estudio fue descriptivo, correlacional y transversal. La muestra fue de 111 jóvenes de Chihuahua, México, los cuales se seleccionaron a conveniencia. La información se recolectó mediante una encuesta en línea. Resultados: Se encontró diferencia significativa del empoderamiento sexual y reproductivo entre hombres y mujeres (p < 0.001), los hombres presentaron puntajes más altos (Mdn= 92.39) comparados con las mujeres (Mdn= 79.34). No se encontró relación entre el empoderamiento sexual y reproductivo, el conocimiento sobre derechos sexuales con la conducta sexual segura de estos jóvenes. Conclusión: Los jóvenes presentaron un alto nivel de conocimiento sobre los derechos sexuales. Con relación al empoderamiento sexual y reproductivo, los hombres presentaron mayores puntuaciones que las mujeres. La conducta sexual segura fue menor que en otros estudios en poblaciones similares. Además, no se encontró relación entre el empoderamiento sexual y reproductivo, y el conocimiento sobre derechos sexuales con la conducta sexual segura en esta población, por lo que se enfatiza la necesidad de continuar estudiando estas variables debido a los escasos estudios en esta población.

ABSTRACT Chrononutrition is a branch of chronobiology that evaluates nutrients and the pathways implicated in their regulation in accordance with circadian rhythms. Sleep deprivation and disturbances have been strongly associated with the progression of different metabolic alterations, and the time of food intake plays a fundamental role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. It has been demonstrated that not only the components of food are important, but quantity and quality are also crucial elements of a healthy eating pattern. Chrononutrition is an emerging tool that could help improve dietary interventions beyond those derived from consuming an adequate amount of each nutrient. Diabetes is a complex endocrine pathology characterized by sustained hyperglycemia. Dietary changes are a key component in obtaining adequate control and preventing long-term complications. Recent studies emphasize the use of chrononutrition and its components as a novel dietary intervention that could improve metabolic control. The use of chrononutrition as a dietary intervention is faced with challenges such as the presence of gaps in the literature that limit its implementation. This emphasizes the imperative need for additional research that can lead to an evidence-based use of this intervention. (Rev Invest Clin. 2024;76(2):80-90)

ABSTRACT In this study, we conducted a survey of researchers studying flies in Brazil, with the aim of acquiring up-to-date information about them, across multiple aspects, i.e., demographics, opinions, needs, and the main challenges they face. We developed an online questionnaire and collected the responses between September and November 2019; 126 responses were received. Most of them held a Ph.D. and identified themselves as males. Nearly all respondents worked exclusively in public institutions, and most were financially reliant on scholarships provided by public agencies. All of them studied at least one of the 81 dipteran families known to occur in Brazil, with most respondents working on families that included taxa of public health importance. Additionally, most work conducted by these researchers was rooted in systematics/taxonomy. A specific portion of the respondents (i.e., students) felt less integrated into the research community and found it challenging to publish high-impact research. However, some concerns were shared across all respondent subgroups, such as the need for increased funding and a more seamless integration within the research community. Academic professionals highlighted limited funding and inadequate infrastructure as barriers to research. Nevertheless, some subgroups expressed concerns about their career prospects. Although there may be limitations in the sampling process underpinning this study, our survey provides valuable insights into the demographic characteristics of Brazilian dipterist community, thus facilitating the development of policy strategies. study Brazil uptodate up date aspects ie i e i.e. demographics opinions needs face 2019 12 received PhD Ph D Ph.D males institutions agencies 8 importance Additionally systematicstaxonomy systematics taxonomy systematics/taxonomy (i.e. students highimpact high impact However Nevertheless prospects strategies i.e 201 1 (i.e 20 2
