ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to evaluate the psychological effects of the pandemic confinement that occurred during 2020 in students, teachers, administrative and service personnel, belonging to the faculty of education, science, and technology of a public university in the north of Ecuador. The study took place after the mandatory confinement period was decreed in March 2020 by the Presidency of Ecuador, to protect the health of the population during the critical period of the pandemic caused by the covid-19 virus. In this exploratory cross-sectional study, a survey made up of demographic questions and a screening test called SPEC (Psychological Screening in Critical Events) was used. The sample was 1444 people, and it was implemented through electronic means distributed through the digital channels of the institution. The results showed that there is a high population with problems related to anxiety (19.7%), depression (11.7%), trauma (10.3%), aggressiveness (32.6%), and even suicide (8.9%) and that comorbidity is very common in many cases of the problems evaluated.

Abstract The gold standard for bariatric surgery is the laparoscopic gastric bypass, which consists in forming a small gastric pouch and a Roux-en-Y anastomosis. We present the case of a 41-year-old female who underwent a laparoscopic gastric bypass 8 years prior to her admission to the emergency room, where she arrived complaining of severe and colicky epigastric abdominal pain. The abdominal computed tomography showed a jejuno-jejunal intussusception, for which the patient underwent urgent exploratory laparotomy with intussusception reduction. Intestinal intussusception is a possible postoperative complication of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Resumen El método de referencia en la cirugía bariátrica es el bypass gástrico laparoscópico, que consiste en la creación de una bolsa gástrica pequeña, anastomosada al tracto digestivo mediante una Y de Roux. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 41 años con el antecedente de un bypass gástrico laparoscópico realizado 8 años antes, quien ingresó al servicio de urgencias refiriendo dolor abdominal grave. La tomografía computarizada abdominal evidenció una intususcepción a nivel de la anastomosis yeyuno-yeyuno, por lo que se realizó una laparotomía exploradora con reducción de la intususcepción. Se debe considerar la intususcepción intestinal como complicación posoperatoria de bypass gástrico.

ABSTRACT: The evaluation of plant growth-promoting bacteria in order to increase corn productivity is a biotechnology of global interest. This study evaluated the efficiency of the consortium between P. fluorescens CNPSo 2719(=CCTB03) and A. brasilense Ab-V06 in corn. Four experiments were carried out in four different locations, with a randomized block design and four replications, with the treatments: (1) without inoculation and without application of N coverage; (2) without inoculation and application of 100% of the recommended dose of N in coverage (200 kg ha-1 of N); (3) Azospirillum brasilense + application of 75% of the recommended dose of N in coverage (150 kg ha-1 of N); (4) bacterial consortium of Azospirillum brasilense + Pseudomonas fluorescens + application of 75% of the recommended dose of N in coverage (150 kg ha-1 of N). In all locations, with the use of the bacterial consortium (A. brasilense + P. fluorescens) + 75% of the recommended dose of N in coverage, it was possible to reduce the dose of N in coverage by up to 25% without compromising the productivity of the crop. In this way, it is concluded that the use of the consortium of the two bacteria promotes savings of up to 25% of N fertilization in top dressing and the possibility of using two microorganisms with the capacity to stimulation plant growth with a single application.

Abstract Hospital managers should target occupational risks and harm prevention since this can contribute to the quality of life at work and patient safety. This article aims to elucidate the activity of prevention of occupational risks and injuries in the hospital setting based on analysis of historical and empirical contradictions of the activity system. An exploratory qualitative study grounded in the Cultural-Historical Activity Theory was conducted at a university hospital in the state of São Paulo. Data were collected between September 2021 and January 2022 via individual semi-structured interviews of 9 professionals from the Occupational Health and Safety services and of five hospital managers, involving 20 hours of field observation and document analysis. Despite the expansion of the object of prevention activity, the other elements of the activity system did not adapt to the new demands, causing incompatibilities and contradictions that compromised the attainment of the expected outcomes. The main response actions observed were centered on complying with regulatory items, such as team composition, medical examinations and others, that contribute little toward promoting occupational health and safety. safety CulturalHistorical Cultural Historical Paulo 202 semistructured semi structured 2 demands outcomes items composition others

Resumo A prevenção de riscos e agravos à saúde dos trabalhadores nos hospitais deve ser foco dos gestores, pois contribui para a qualidade de vida no trabalho e a segurança do paciente. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender a atividade de prevenção de riscos e agravos à saúde dos trabalhadores no contexto hospitalar, a partir das contradições históricas e empíricas do sistema de atividade. Estudo qualitativo exploratório, ancorado na Teoria da Atividade Histórico-Cultural, desenvolvido em um hospital universitário do estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram coletados entre setembro de 2021 e janeiro de 2022 por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com nove profissionais do Serviço Especializado em Engenharia de Segurança e Medicina do Trabalho e cinco gestores do hospital; 20 horas de observação de campo; e análise documental. Apesar da expansão do objeto da atividade de prevenção, os demais elementos do sistema de atividade não se adaptaram às novas exigências, evoluindo com incompatibilidades e contradições que comprometeram o alcance dos resultados esperados. As principais ações de resposta observadas ficaram centradas em adequações a exigências de itens de normas, como composição de equipe, exames médicos e outras que pouco atuam na promoção e proteção da saúde. paciente hospitalar exploratório HistóricoCultural, HistóricoCultural Histórico Cultural, Cultural Histórico-Cultural Paulo 202 2 campo documental esperados normas equipe

Abstract Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant global impact since its declaration in March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted cancer patients, particularly those with breast cancer. This study aims to analyze the effects of the pandemic on women diagnosed with breast cancer recurrence. Methods A cohort study was conducted at a tertiary public hospital in São Paulo State, Brazil. Data were collected from electronic records. Patients diagnosed with breast cancer and experiencing recurrence between January 2011 and March 2022 were included. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox regression. Results The study included 187 patients, 45 in the pandemic group (recurrence after March 23, 2020) and 142 in the pre-pandemic group. Distant recurrences were more frequent in both groups (pre-pandemic: 62.7 %, pandemic: 75.5 %). Compared to the pre-pandemic group (1.8 years), the pandemic group experienced a longer mean time to recurrence detection (2.9 years) and significantly decreased median survival (9 months vs. 22 months). The Cox regression analysis confirmed an increased risk of death for women diagnosed with breast cancer recurrence during the pandemic period (HR = 1.92, 95 % CI 1.19‒3.12). Conclusion The present study is among the first to investigate the pandemic's specific effects on breast cancer recurrence, revealing concerning delays in detection and a decrease in survival rates. Prompt diagnosis, timely treatment initiation, and comprehensive support are crucial during public health crises. These findings urge healthcare systems to prioritize tailored care for breast cancer patients during pandemics.

Abstract Introduction: Population aging is a global phenomenon that raises questions about the quality of life and psycho-logical well-being of the older adults. In this context, social groups emerge as an important strategy to promote self-esteem and improve the quality of life among the older population. Objective: To analyze the quality of life and self-esteem of older individuals from a social group. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study realized with 148 older adults. The WHOQOL-BREF, WHOQOL-OLD, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used. Data analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, bootstrapping procedures, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey's post-hoc test (p < 0.05). Results: Women showed higher mean scores in the psychological (p = 0.030) and environmental (p = 0.037) domains, social participation facet (p = 0.047), and self-esteem (p = 0.011). Older individuals aged 60 to 69 years had higher scores in the physical (p = 0.027), psychological (p = 0.007), environmental (p = 0.022), and self-assessment (p = 0.001) domains, and in the facets of sensory functioning (p = 0.009), past, present, and future activities (p = 0.021), social participation (p = 0.009), and intimacy (p = 0.004), as well as in self-esteem (p = 0.015). Retired older individuals had lower scores in the sensory functioning facet (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Older individuals exhibited satisfactory means in quality of life domains and facets and an adequate level of self-esteem. Significant differences exist in sex, age group, monthly income, and retirement status.

Abstract Objective Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has become the standard of care for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with tumors > 1 cm or positive axillary nodes. Pathologic complete response (pCR) has been used as an endpoint to select patients for treatment scaling. This study aimed to examine the benefit of adding adjuvant capecitabine for TNBC patients who did not achieve pCR after standard NACT in a real-world scenario. Methods This retrospective cohort study included all patients with TNBC who underwent NACT between 2010 and 2020. Clinicopathological data were obtained from the patient records. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted at the 5 years follow-up period. Results We included 153 patients, more than half of whom had stage III (58.2%) and high-grade tumors (60.8%). The overall pCR rate was 34.6%, and 41% of the patients with residual disease received adjuvant capecitabine. Disease-specific survival (DSS) among the patients who achieved pCR was significantly higher (p<0.0001). Residual disease after NACT was associated with detrimental effects on DSS. In this cohort, we did not observe any survival benefit of adding adjuvant capecitabine for patients with TNBC subjected to NACT who did not achieve pCR (p=0.52). Conclusion Our study failed to demonstrate a survival benefit of extended capecitabine therapy in patients with TNBC with residual disease after NACT. More studies are warranted to better understand the indication of systemic treatment escalation in this scenario.

Abstract We investigated the Biogran on bone repair and metabolism at several time-intervals upon grafting into rat tibia artificial defects. The biomaterial was thoroughly characterized in vitro, and its dissolution behavior upon immersion was assessed in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for 1, 3, 7, 14, and 30 days. Biogran was also assessed by in vitro hydroxyapatite formation in SBF solution, which is a marker for bioactive behavior. In vivo, distal and proximal bone defects were performed in the Wistar rat's right tibia and filled according to the experimental groups: I) negative control, no filling; II) positive control, 10 mg of autogenous bone; and III) 10 mg of Biogran. Animals were euthanized at 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 10 weeks. Bone neoformation was analyzed using histomorphometry (proximal defect), and local levels of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) were measured using the ELISA assay (distal defect). In vitro, the Biogran sample showed a fast dissolution rate within the first 7 days, parallel to the formation of the hydroxyapatite layer. In vivo, the sample was progressively resorbed at a higher rate within the first month until it became almost absent at week 10th. The sample presented similar or higher bone neoformation concerning the autogenous bone. BMP-2 levels were sustained in the Biogran group (around 200 pg/mg) and detected until the last experimental time with a significant difference compared with the controls. Results suggest Biogran is a candidate for hard tissue engineering even in highly active bone remodeling sites. timeintervals intervals (SBF 1 3 14 days vivo rats s groups I control filling II III 4 weeks defect, defect , defect) BMP2 BMP (BMP-2 defect. . layer 10th th BMP- around 20 pg/mg pgmg pg controls sites (BMP- (BMP

Abstract Several researches have focused on possible correlations between the development of the financial sector and economic growth. However, it is observed that these studies repeatedly ignore the environmental aspects of the issue, so the objective here is to fill this gap. To this end, this paper specifies ARDL models for the period 1978-2020, aiming to investigate the relationship between the development of the financial sector and environmental degradation in Brazil. A financial development index was constructed and then incorporated as an explanatory variable into the models. As a result, the development of the national financial sector worsens environmental quality in Brazil, increasing carbon dioxide emissions and reducing the country's natural capital stock. These results may be linked to the still low participation of green credit in the total credit allocated to the Brazilian economy, indicating a possible pro-carbon bias in the national financial sector. growth However issue gap end 19782020, 19782020 1978 2020, 2020 1978-2020 Brazil result countrys country s stock economy procarbon pro 1978202 197 202 1978-202 197820 19 20 1978-20 19782 1 2 1978-2 1978-

Resumo Muitas pesquisas têm se debruçado sobre as possíveis correlações entre desenvolvimento do setor financeiro e crescimento econômico. Entretanto, observa-se que essas pesquisas recorrentemente ignoram os aspectos ambientais da questão, de modo que o objetivo aqui é preencher essa lacuna. Para tanto, o estudo especifica modelos ARDL para o período 1978-2020, objetivando averiguar a relação entre o desenvolvimento do setor financeiro e a degradação ambiental no Brasil. Construiu-se um índice de desenvolvimento financeiro para, em seguida, incorporá-lo como variável explicativa aos modelos. Como resultados encontra-se que o desenvolvimento do setor financeiro nacional piora a qualidade ambiental no Brasil, aumentando as emissões de dióxido de carbono e reduzindo o estoque de capital natural do país. Esses resultados podem estar ligados a uma ainda baixa participação do crédito verde no total de crédito alocado na economia brasileira e a um possível viés pró-carbono do setor financeiro nacional. econômico Entretanto observase observa questão lacuna tanto 19782020, 19782020 1978 2020, 2020 1978-2020 Brasil Construiuse Construiu seguida incorporálo incorporá lo encontrase encontra país prócarbono pró 1978202 197 202 1978-202 197820 19 20 1978-20 19782 1 2 1978-2 1978-

Abstract Objective To compare stress symptoms and coping strategies among caregivers of older adults with Alzheimer's disease according to sociodemographic, health, and professional variables. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted of 126 caregivers of older adults with Alzheimer's disease. A questionnaire assessing caregiver sociodemographic and health profiles, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Ways of Coping Scale were applied. Data analysis was performed using the independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey's post-hoc test (p<0.05). Results Women made greater use of the coping strategy of seeking social support (p=0.013). Caregivers with more than one care recipient made greater use of problem-focused coping strategies (p=0.020).

Abstract The objective was to evaluate the chemical composition and in vitro fermentation of spineless cactus of the genus Nopalea, F-21 (Nopalea cochenillifera Dyck), IPA-Sertânia (Nopalea cochenillifera Dyck) and Miúda (Nopalea cochenillifera Salm Dyck), in different phenophases. There was no effect (P < 0.05) of the phenological phases of spineless cactus on DM, ash, OM, EE, and CP. Varieties F-21 and Miúda presented higher values of DM and OM, whereas the CP was higher for IPA-Sertânia. The contents of NDF, ADF, and ADL, as well as the fractions of carbohydrates B2 and C were higher in the mature stage, irrespective of the variety. The Miúda variety showed higher levels of NFC and fractions A + B1 and the lower levels of pectin compared to the F-21 and IPA-Sertânia varieties, but not differ of TC to F-21. The volume of gas produced via the degradation of NFC was higher for young phenological phases. The young and intermediate stages showed a higher in vitro digestibility of DM. Based on the results, varieties IPA-Sertânia and Miúda have a high potential for use in animal feed because of their high nutritional quality. Mature cladodes showed a higher fibrous fraction and lower digestibility in all varieties.

RESUMEN: Las condiciones del trabajo docente y las experiencias de los profesores de la red pública de enseñanza básica fueron impactadas a partir de las reformas educacionales implementadas en la década de 1990, con fuerte influencia de las políticas neoliberales. Como resultado de esta influencia, se produjo la precarización de la enseñanza pública en la educación básica. Las repercusiones de este escenario educativo, caracterizado por las malas condiciones de trabajo y la desvalorización de la carrera docente, han afectado la historia de vida de los maestros y provocado enfermedades en esta clase trabajadora. En este contexto, el objetivo de este estudio fue comprender los procesos involucrados en la enfermedad de los profesores de escuelas públicas de la ciudad de Montes Claros-MG, a partir de experiencias y condiciones de trabajo. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, basada en el Interaccionismo Simbólico, realizada a través del método de la Teoría Fundamentada, desde una perspectiva construccionista social. Fueron entrevistados 12 profesores de educación básica de escuelas públicas. Los datos, en el proceso de análisis, produjeron codificaciones que resultaron en siete categorías axiales, que buscan dilucidar los supuestos teóricos de esta investigación. Las discusiones de este estudio señalaron que la enfermedad de los profesores de educación básica involucra procesos y causas multifactoriales, tales como: la precarización del trabajo docente; las manifestaciones subjetivas del malestar del profesor y los impases en la superación de este sentimiento; el enfrentamiento de conflictos con alumnos y familiares en la escuela; los desajustes en la práctica pedagógica del profesor y las repercusiones del trabajo en la vida personal del profesor. Así, como resultados, todos estos procesos se relacionaron con la enfermedad física y/o mental de los profesores participantes en esta investigación.

ABSTRACT: The teachers’ working conditions and their experiences in the basic public education network were impacted by the educational reforms implemented in the 1990s, with a strong influence on neoliberal policy. As a result of this influence, there was a precariousness of public education in basic education. The repercussions of this educational scenario, characterized by terrible work achievement conditions and devaluation of the teaching career, have been affecting the teacher's life story and caused illnesses in this working class. In this context, the aim of this study was to understand the processes involved in the illness of public school teachers in the city of Montes Claros-MG, based on experiences and working conditions. This is qualitative research, based on Symbolic Interactionism, carried out through the Grounded Theory, from a social constructionist perspective. Twelve teachers of basic education in state schools were interviewed. The data, in the analysis process, produced encodings that resulted in seven axial categories, which were searched to elucidate the theoretical assumptions of this investigation. The results of this study showed that the illness of basic education teachers involves multifactorial processes and causes. The discussions of this study pointed at the illness of basic education teachers involves multifactorial processes and causes, such as: the precariousness of teaching work; subjective manifestations of teachers' malaise and impasses in overcoming this feeling; facing conflicts with students and family members at school; the mismatches in the teacher's pedagogical practice and the repercussions of work on the teacher's personal life. Thus, as a result, all these processes were related to the physical and/or mental illness of the teachers participating in this research.

RESUMO: As condições de trabalho docente e as vivências dos professores da rede básica de ensino público foram impactadas a partir das reformas educacionais implantadas na década de 1990, com forte influência da política neoliberal. Como resultado dessa influência, houve a precarização da educação pública na educação básica. Repercussões deste cenário educativo, caracterizado por péssimas condições para realização do trabalho e desvalorização da carreira docente têm afetado a história de vida do professor e provocado adoecimentos nesta classe trabalhadora. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi de compreender os processos envolvidos no adoecimento de professores de escolas públicas da cidade de Montes Claros-MG, a partir de vivências e condições de trabalho. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, fundamentada no Interacionismo Simbólico, realizada por meio do método Grounded Theory, na perspectiva construcionista social.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate symptoms, lung function, and quality of life of a cohort of patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19 12 months after hospital admission. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. We included severe COVID-19 survivors hospitalized in one of three tertiary referral hospitals for COVID-19 in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Participants were submitted to lung function and six-minute walk tests and completed the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. Results: The whole sample comprised 189 COVID-19 survivors (mean age = 59.6 ± 13.4 years) who had been admitted to a ward only (n = 96; 50.8%) or to an ICU (n = 93; 49.2%). At 12 months of follow-up, 43% of patients presented with dyspnea, 27% of whom had a restrictive ventilatory disorder and 18% of whom presented with impaired DLCO. There were no significant differences in FVC, FEV1, and TLC between the survivors with or without dyspnea. However, those who still had dyspnea had significantly more impaired DLCO (14.9% vs. 22.4%; p < 0.020) and poorer quality of life. Conclusions: After one year, survivors of severe COVID-19 in a middle-income country still present with high symptom burden, restrictive ventilatory changes, and loss of quality of life. Ongoing follow-up is needed to characterize long COVID-19 and identify strategies to mitigate its consequences.

This academic article investigates the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), which are affected by various defects like charge recombination, high impedance, and low power conversion efficiency due to complex physicochemical phenomena. The study explores different materials and processes to enhance DSSC performance, with a focus on photoanode development. Tin dioxide, tin chloride II dihydrate, copper oxide, boric acid, and sodium phosphate are utilized to fabricate the photoanodes. A thermal treatment at 450°C for 30 minutes precedes dye assembly on the photoanode surface. Results show that the tin chloride II dihydrate-modified photoanode outperforms others, achieving higher open-circuit voltage (0.50V), current density (9.58 mAcm-2), fill factor (0.37), and power conversion efficiency (1.77%). The study suggests that tin salt particles positively impact voltage, current, electron transport, and charge separation, enhancing overall cell performance. Charge recombination significantly affects power conversion efficiency and impedance, but accurately quantifying it remains challenging. Lower recombination levels favor efficiency, while higher levels reduce it. dyesensitized sensitized DSSCs, DSSCs , (DSSCs) impedance phenomena development dioxide dihydrate oxide acid photoanodes 450C C 450 3 surface dihydratemodified modified others opencircuit open circuit 0.50V, 050V V 0.50V 0 50V (0.50V) 9.58 958 9 58 (9.5 mAcm2, mAcm2 mAcm 2 mAcm-2) 0.37, 037 0.37 37 (0.37) 1.77%. 177 1.77% . 1 77 (1.77%) transport separation challenging (DSSCs 45 (0.50V 9.5 95 5 (9. mAcm-2 03 0.3 (0.37 17 1.77 7 (1.77% 4 9.
