ABSTRACT The family Cactaceae possesses considerable floral diversity and is exclusively zoophilic. Cipocereus crassisepalus is an endangered species of columnar cactus, whose floral characteristics fit the chiropterophily syndrome. This study aimed to assess the correspondence between floral traits and pollinators and whether the pollination system of C. crassisepalus is specialized, as suggested by the hypothesis of geographical dichotomy. Hand pollination treatments demonstrated that C. crassisepalus depends on cross-pollen flow mediated by pollinators to set fruit and seeds. Nocturnal film recordings, diurnal observations, analyses of pollen loads of flower visitors and visitor exclusion experiments provided strong evidence that bats are the sole pollinators of this cactus. During two flowering seasons, pollen grains of C. crassisepalus were found only on the bodies of the bat Anoura caudifer. Cipocereus crassisepalus possesses a pollination system specialized on nectar-feeding bats, which corroborates the geographical dichotomy hypothesis.

Abstract In this work, banana fiber was used as reinforcement for the preparation of a thermoplastic elastomer composite (TPE). Few studies are exploring the natural fiber incorporation on TPEs, with no one using banana fiber. The fiber was extracted from banana pseudostem and modified with an alkaline solution. The untreated and treated banana fibers were incorporated in 2%, 5%, and 10% in SEBS. The mixture was performed in a thermokinetic mixer (K-Mixer) and plates prepared by compression molding. The composites were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), tensile testing, mechanical dynamical analysis (DMA). It can be observed that the samples with untreated fibers presented a higher tensile strength, except for the incorporation of 5% of BF. Young's modulus increase as the fiber's incorporation grows, indicating greater rigidity of the composite. It was found that the chemically treated banana fiber composites, e.g., TPE/TBF5 and TPE/TBF10, shows a 15.4% and 22.2% higher elongation.

Resumo Considerando-se as relações brincadeira-desenvolvimento e a marginalização da brincadeira na escola, evidenciada em estudos anteriores, buscou-se analisar, neste estudo de caso, a participação de crianças e professora na constituição da brincadeira em uma pré-escola pública de Fortaleza. Foram adotados como procedimentos: observação da rotina da turma (composta por 24 crianças de baixa renda), entrevista semiestruturada, elaboração e explicitação de desenhos, história para completar, jogo simbólico e análise desse jogo e das brincadeiras vividas na escola, em parceria com as crianças. A análise dos dados construídos permitiu concluir que a brincadeira valorizada pela professora é aquela planejada e dirigida por ela objetivando a aprendizagem e o treino de habilidades. A brincadeira livre, valorizada pelas crianças, ela vê como “bagunça”. A ausência de reflexão crítica sobre a postura adultocêntrica da sociedade, somada à escassez de conhecimentos a respeito das relações brincadeira-desenvolvimento infantil, comprometem a qualidade do trabalho da professora.

Abstract Considering the relations between play and child development and the marginalization of play at school, evidenced in previous studies, this case study aimed to analyze children’s and teacher’s participation in the constitution of playing in a public nursery school in Fortaleza. The following procedures were adopted: observation of the class (composed of 24 low-income children) routine; semi-structured interview; elaboration and explanation of drawings; story to be completed; and symbolic game, with analysis both of this game and of play experienced at school along with the children. Analysis of the data collected allowed concluding that the sort of play valued by the teacher is that which is planned and conducted by her aiming at learning and training skills. Free play, valued by children, is seen by her as “a mess.” The absence of critical reflection on the adult-centered posture of society, plus to the scarcity of knowledge of the relations between play and child development, compromise the quality of the teacher’s work.

Resumen Teniendo en cuenta las relaciones entre el juego-desarrollo y la marginación del juego en la escuela evidenciadas en estudios previos, en este estudio de caso se buscó analizar la participación de niños y la maestra en la constitución del juego en un jardín de infantes público en Fortaleza. Se adoptaron los siguientes procedimientos: observación de la rutina del grupo (compuesto por 24 niños de bajos ingresos), entrevista semiestructurada, elaboración y explicación de dibujos, historia para completar, juego simbólico y su análisis y los juegos practicados en la escuela en colaboración con los niños. El análisis de los datos recolectados permitió concluir que el juego valorado por la maestra es el mismo que planeó y dirigió con el objetivo de que los niños aprendan y entrenen sus habilidades. El juego libre valorado por los niños es considerado un “desorden” por la maestra. La ausencia de reflexión crítica sobre la posición adultocéntrica de la sociedad y la escasez de conocimientos sobre las relaciones entre el juego y el desarrollo infantil comprometen la calidad del trabajo de la maestra.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

ABSTRACT Plant-pollinator interactions range from obligatory specialists to facultative generalists, and floral morphology and pollination system may not match completely. The floral biology, reproductive system and floral visitors of a species of the tribe Rhipsalideae were investigated with a focus on the consistency between the pollination system and the floral phenotype. Rhipsalis neves-armondii is an obligate xenogamous species, due to self-sterility. Its flowers are white, small and diurnal, and radially symmetrical. These features, along with their small amount of nectar, characterize the flowers as phenotypic generalists. The most frequent pollinators were a solitary oligolectic species of Andrenidae (Rhophitulus solani), two species of Meliponinae (Trigona spinipes and T. braueri) and Apis mellifera. Despite the generalist floral phenotype, the pollination system is functionally specialized, since only small bees performed effective visits. Flowers of R. neves-armondii may represent a case of cryptic floral specialization in which attributes other than morphology act as filters, restricting them to a single functional group of pollinators. Moreover, the four most frequent species of pollinators cover a spectrum ranging from solitary oligolectic to social polylectic bees, including an exotic species. These results illustrate the distinct dimensions of specialization-generalization that may occur in the pollination process of a single species.

Abstract: Pt En | Text: Pt En | PDF: Pt | PDF: En

Resumo Fundamento: A operação de Jatene tornou-se o procedimento cirúrgico de escolha para o reparo da transposição das grandes artérias (TGA) em neonatos e lactentes. Complicações tardias, principalmente relacionadas à via de saída pulmonar e às artérias coronarianas, já são bem reconhecidas. O comportamento da valva neo-aórtica tem sido motivo de crescente preocupação pelo seu potencial de necessidade de reoperações tardias. Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência e os fatores de risco associados à regurgitação da valva neo-aórtica em 127 pacientes em pós-operatório tardio de cirurgia de Jatene. Métodos: Dos 328 sobreviventes da cirurgia de Jatene no Biocor Instituto operados de outubro de 1997 a junho de 2015, todos os pacientes em seguimento de pós-operatório foram contatados via ligação telefônica, sendo 127 elegíveis para o estudo. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos, Grupo TGA simples e Grupo TGA complexa, com médias de follow-up de 6,4 ± 4,7 anos e 9,26 ± 4,22 anos, respectivamente. Foi realizada avaliação ecocardiográfica com medidas indexadas (escore Z) do anel da valva neo-aórtica, do seio de Valsalva, da região sinotubular e da aorta ascendente, bem como quantificação do grau de regurgitação da valva neo-aórtica. Resultados: A incidência de leve regurgitação da valva neo-aórtica em nossa casuística foi de 29% em um follow-up de 7,4 ± 4,7 anos. Regurgitação moderada foi observada em 24 pacientes, com idade média (± desvio-padrão) de 9,81 ± 4,21 anos, sendo 19 (79%) no Grupo TGA complexa. Nesses pacientes, observou-se maior escore Z do anel aórtico. A taxa de reoperação por regurgitação da valva neo-aórtica associada a dilatação da aorta foi de 1,5%, sendo todos os casos no Grupo TGA complexa. Conclusão: O estudo demonstra que, embora reoperações após cirurgia de Jatene por dilatação da neo-aorta e regurgitação da valva neo-aórtica tenham incidência baixa, esse é um fenômeno dependente de tempo, requerendo rígida vigilância desses pacientes. Na nossa casuística, um dos principais fatores de risco para regurgitação da valva neo-aórtica foi o diâmetro da artéria pulmonar no pré-operatório (p < 0,001).

Abstract Background: Jatene surgery became the surgical procedure of choice to repair transposition of the great arteries (TGA) in neonates and infants. Late complications, mainly related to the pulmonary outflow tract and coronary arteries, are well known. The behavior of the neo-aortic valve is a cause of concern because of its potential for requiring late reoperation. Objectives: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of neo-aortic valve regurgitation in 127 patients in the late postoperative period of the Jatene surgery. Methods: Of the 328 survivors of the Jatene surgery at the Biocor Institute from October 1997 to June 2015, all patients undergoing postoperative follow-up were contacted via telephone, 127 being eligible for the study. The patients were divided into two groups, simple TGA and complex TGA groups, with follow-up means of 6.4 ± 4.7 years and 9.26 ± 4.22 years, respectively. Echocardiography was performed with adjusted measurements (Z-score) of the neo-aortic annulus, sinus of Valsalva, sinotubular region and ascending aorta, as well as quantification of the neo-aortic valve regurgitation grade. Results: The incidence of mild neo-aortic valve regurgitation was 29% in a follow-up of 7.4 ± 4.7 years. Moderate regurgitation was identified in 24 patients with age mean (± standard-deviation) of 9.81 ± 4.21 years, 19 of whom (79%) in the complex TGA group. Those patients had a higher aortic annulus Z-score. The reoperation rate due to neo-aortic regurgitation associated with aortic dilation was 1.5%, all patients in the complex TGA group. Conclusion: This study shows that, despite the low incidence of reoperation after Jatene surgery due to neo-aorta dilation and neo-aortic valve regurgitation, that is a time-dependent phenomenon, which requires strict vigilance of the patients. In this study, one of the major risk factors for neo-aortic valve regurgitation was the preoperative pulmonary artery diameter (p < 0.001).

RESUMO O presente estudo investigou a influência de plateia sobre o desempenho sensoriomotor na aprendizagem do arremesso de dardo de salão. O experimento foi conduzido em dois dias distintos, cada um com uma condição específica: 1) com plateia (10 tentativas); 2) sem plateia (10 tentativas). Os 18 universitários de menor e maior desempenho foram divididos em dois grupos: prejudicado (GP) e beneficiado (GB). Nas análises de desempenho e escores de ansiedade-estado (IDATE), a ANOVA two way e pairwise identificaram interação entre grupo e condição, sendo GP com pior desempenho e maior IDATE e GB com melhor desempenho e sem alteração no IDATE na condição com plateia. Já na frequência cardíaca, não houve interação, porém efeito principal para o fator condição para ambos os grupos. Pode-se inferir que, a plateia influencia no desempenho sensoriomotor podendo ocorrer piora ou melhora a depender de características individuais.

ABSTRACT The present study investigated the influence of audience on the sensorymotor performance in learning the hall of javelin throwing. The experiment was conducted on two separate days, each with a specific condition: 1) with audience (10 attempts); 2) no audience (10 attempts). The 18 students of smaller and higher performance were divided into two groups: disadvantaged (DG) and benefited (BG). The performance and state-anxiety scores (IDATE), the two-way ANOVA and pairwise identified interaction between group and condition, and GP worst performing and most IDATE and GB with better performance and no change in IDATE provided with the audience. In the heart rate, there was no interaction but the main effect for the condition factor for both groups. It can be inferred that the audience influences the sensorymotor performance may cause worsening or improving depend on individual characteristics.

Abstract Aim: To evaluate the oral health quality of the workers of a telemarketing company and their satisfaction with the dental treatments provided by the corporative dental insurance plan. Methods: Data collection was by an online intranet questionnaire on dental service providers from Uberlândia/MG and Campinas/SP. It was addressed to 6000 associates, with objective and subjective questions, comprising the level of the telemarketing operators' oral health, dental needs, satisfaction with dental care providers and the importance of having the laboral dental services provided by the company. Results: After analysis of the results, we observed that: 57.52% of the workers required improvement in their oral health and 56.03% mentioned prevention as the largest need, 66.70% use the dental providers' services, but only 31.34% were satisfied with them. Conclusions: The results underscore that the workers have an intermediate level of dental needs, with prevention as top importance. Additionally, establishment of a basic attention program inside the company would increase the satisfaction and adhesion indexes of providers and the workers' oral health.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is a rare congenital muscle disease characterized by fibers with prominent centralized nuclei in muscle biopsies. The disease is clinically heterogeneous, ranging from severe neonatal hypotonic phenotypes to adult-onset mild muscle weakness, and can have multiple modes of inheritance in association with various genes, including MTM1, DNM2, BIN1 and RYR1. Here we analyzed 18 sporadic patients with clinical and histological diagnosis of CNM and sequenced the DNM2 gene, which codes for the dynamin 2 protein. We found DNM2 missense mutations in two patients, both in exon 8, one known (p.E368K) and one novel (p.F372C), which is found in a position of presumed pathogenicity and appeared de novo. The patients had similar phenotypes characterized by neonatal signs followed by improvement and late childhood reemergence of slowly progressive generalized muscle weakness, elongated face with ptosis and ophthalmoparesis, and histology showing fibers with radiating sarcoplasmic strands (RSS). These patients were the only ones in the series to present this histological marker, which together with previous reports in the literature suggest that, when RSS are present, direct sequencing of DNM2 mutation hot spot regions should be the first step in the molecular diagnosis of CNM, even in sporadic cases.

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with functional disability in the elderly. The cross-sectional design was used with a sample of 624 individuals, between 60 and 96 years of age. In the assessment of the elderly interviews and physical performance tests were used. In the inferential data analysis, the Poisson regression was used, p≤0.05. The prevalence of disability was 17.6% for Basic Activities of Daily Living and 46.3% for Instrumental Activities of Daily Living. Functional disability for Basic Activities of Daily Living was associated with increasing age, alcohol consumption, depressive symptoms and frailty; the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living were associated with increasing age, illiteracy, multigenerational family arrangement, hospitalization and fragility. The variables that remained in the explanatory model for the decline of functional capacity should be emphasized in proposals for public policies to promote the health of the elderly.

El objetivo fue estimar la prevalencia y los factores asociados a la discapacidad. Se utilizó diseño transversal, con muestra de 624 individuos de edades comprendidas entre 60 a 96 años. En la evaluación fueron utilizados entrevista y pruebas de rendimiento físico. En análisis de datos inferencial se utilizó regresión de Poisson, p≤0,05. La prevalencia de discapacidad fue 17,6% para las Actividades Básicas de la Vida Diaria y 46,3% en las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria. La incapacidad funcional para Actividades Básicas de la Vida Diaria se asoció con la edad, consumo de alcohol, síntomas depresivos y fragilidad; actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria se asociaron con la edad, analfabetismo, disposición de la familia multigeneracional, hospitalización y fragilidad. Las variables que se mantuvieron en el modelo explicativo de la disminución de la capacidad funcional deben hacerse hincapié en la elaboración de políticas públicas para promover la salud de los ancianos.

O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência e os fatores associados à incapacidade funcional em idosos. O delineamento transversal foi empregado com amostra de 624 indivíduos com idade entre 60 e 96 anos. Na avaliação dos idosos, foram utilizados entrevista e testes de desempenho físico. Na análise inferencial dos dados, foi utilizada a regressão de Poisson, p≤0,05. A prevalência de incapacidade funcional foi de 17,6% para Atividades Básicas da Vida Diária e 46,3% nas Atividades Instrumentais da Vida Diária. A incapacidade funcional para Atividades Básicas da Vida Diária associou-se ao aumento da idade, consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, sintomatologia depressiva e fragilidade; as Atividades Instrumentais da Vida Diária foram associadas ao avanço da idade, analfabetismo, arranjo familiar multigeracional, hospitalização e fragilidade. As variáveis que permaneceram no modelo explicativo para o declínio da capacidade funcional devem ser enfatizadas na proposição de políticas públicas de promoção à saúde de idosos.
