Abstract Roadkill is one of the most direct impacts on fauna, leading to numerous direct and indirect impacts. Road-killed animals could serve as a resource for research and teaching purposes, but first, they need to have their tissues preserved by some technique. Plastination is one of the most modern techniques for the conservation of biological tissues, its principle is the replacement of body fluids by a curable polymer, resulting in a non-toxic, odorless, and manipulable material. So the main aim of this work was to compose a collection of plastinated roadkill victims from the Biological Reserve Sooretama region, adapting the standard protocol to the different taxa worked here (Avialae, Reptilia, Amphibia, and Mammalia). For this, 42 animals were used, previously frozen and stored in the Sooretama Biological Reserve and Vale Natural Reserve until they were sent for processing. Upon arriving at the Plastination laboratory at the Federal University of Espírito Santo, the animals underwent the 4 stages of plastination: fixation, dehydration, forced impregnation, and chemical cure; some adaptations were made to improve the final specimens. The results proved that the plastination of these animals is extremely viable in generating satisfactory results. Given the results obtained, it becomes clear how plastination can become an alternative to implement in the composition of biological collections using roadkill animals. The animals prepared in this work comprise an unprecedented collection available for different applications, such as exhibitions, practical classes, and research.

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the association between racial iniquities and oral health status. This is a systematic review with a protocol registered on the Prospero Platform (CRD42021228417), with searches carried out in electronic databases and in gray literature. Our study identified 3,028 publications. After applying the eligibility criteria and risk of bias analysis, 18 studies were selected. The results indicate that individuals of black/brown race/skin color have unfavorable oral health conditions, mainly represented by self-rated oral health, tooth loss, caries, and periodontitis. The results showed racial iniquities in oral health in different countries, for all analyzed indicators, with a greater vulnerability of the black population.

ABSTRACT Management of Quilombola systems are primitive agricultural systems based on the ancestral knowledge of Afro-Brazilian enslaved people. Here, the aim was to understand the impact of these primitive farming methods on the distribution of available nitrogen (N) forms in the soil profile of two Brazilian Cerrado phytophysiognomies. The soil was sampled in Cerradão (high Cerrado) and Cerrado Stricto sensu (low Cerrado) at six soil depths (0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, and 50-60 cm). The following management systems were considered: pasture (PP1 and PP2), maize cultivation (M1 and M2), citrus-cassava intercropping (T1), and citrus monoculture (T2). In addition, the soil was sampled in the native area of Cerradão (NC1) and Cerrado Stricto sensu (NC2). Three N forms were determined: i) available nitrogen (Av-N), ii) ammonium (NH4+-N) and iii) nitrate (NO3–-N) contents. The Av-N content decreased with increasing soil depth only in NC1 and NC2. The NO3–-N content was similar at all soil depths for maize and pasture, while the content decreased at soil depth for NC1, NC2, and T1. NH4+-N was similar in M2 and PP2, but it increased in T2, ranging from 6.17 mg kg–1 to 17.54 mg kg–1. Overall, the dynamics of available N forms varied according to the Cerrado phytophysiognomy and the management systems and NO3–-N was the most constant N form in the soil profile. Therefore, although the management of Quilombola systems is less intensive, they negatively affect the dynamics and N availability, mainly where management is less conservative, that is, in maize and citrus monocultures.

ABSTRACT Agroecological management is considered a model of sustainable agriculture that offers social, environmental and economic benefits. The hypotheses of this study were that agroecological production systems can promote changes in the physical fractions of soil organic matter (SOM) associated with aggregates of different origins, and that the greater diversity of plant species in the production system may favour an increase in the carbon concentration of these aggregates. The aim of this study was to a) determine the mass of the free light fraction (FLF), intra-aggregate light fraction (ILF) and light organic matter fraction (LOM) of biogenic and physiogenic soil aggregates; and b) quantify the organic carbon content of the three light SOM fractions and the residual particulate SOM fraction. Five production systems were evaluated: AgF - Agroforestry system; CSun - Coffee grown in full sun; CSha - Coffee grown in shade; FLE - Flemingia grown in alleys; and NT - No-tillage. The aggregates were separated, identified and classified according to their origin or formation pathway into biogenic (formed by biological processes) or physiogenic aggregates (resulting from chemical and physical actions). From these, the mass and carbon content of the FLF, ILF, LOM and residual particulate fractions were quantified. The greater diversity of plant species found in the AgF system has not yet favoured an increase in the carbon content of the aggregates. The longer set-up time and the management practices of the CSun system has led to an increase in the carbon content of the organic fractions of the aggregates (3.44-1.63 g kg-1 for C-LOM; 1.93-1.13 g kg-1 for C-FLF). The lowest overall mean values for LOM and ILF were found mainly in the aggregates of the NT system (1.22-1.67 and 1.55-2.20 g kg-1, respectively), being associated with the shorter time and greater mobilisation of the arable layer. Biogenic aggregation afforded the highest overall mean values for LOM, and increased the mass of the light fractions (15.5%-27.8% for FLF; 23.4%-8.0% for ILF) and the carbon in the C-LOM, C-FLF and residual particulate fractions (42.3%, 12.9%, and 35.0%, respectively) in the surface layer, suggesting an improvement in soil quality.

Abstract Over the last three decades, stroke care has undergone significant transformations mainly driven by the introduction of reperfusion therapy and the organization of systems of care. Patients receiving treatment through a well-structured stroke service have a much higher chance of favorable outcomes, thereby decreasing both disability and mortality. In this article, we reviewed the scientific evidence for stroke reperfusion therapy, including thrombolysis and thrombectomy, and its implementation in the public health system in Brazil.

Resumo Nas últimas três décadas, o tratamento do AVC sofreu transformações significativas, impulsionadas principalmente pela introdução das terapias de reperfusão e pela organização dos serviços de AVC. Os pacientes que recebem tratamento em um serviço de AVC bem estruturado têm uma probabilidade muito maior de resultados favoráveis, diminuindo assim a incapacidade funcional e a mortalidade. Neste artigo, revisamos as evidências científicas para as terapias de reperfusão do AVC, incluindo trombólise e trombectomia e sua implementação no sistema público de saúde no Brasil.

ABSTRACT Overcoming malnutrition in all its forms, which is also manifested in the obesity epidemic, is one of the priorities of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. This article presents reflections on food insecurity in Brazil, based on topics such as population growth, climate change, biodiversity and traditional and regenerative food systems; it also addresses the role of social initiatives to guarantee the Human Right to Adequate Food. The Nutrition and Poverty Research Group, Planetary Health - Brazil Group, and the Center for Artificial Intelligence (C4AI) - AgriBio Axis, assume that the organized and systemic resumption of the initiatives mentioned out in this position paper can contribute to the articulation between research, public policies and services, to combat all forms of malnutrition, as a complex and priority problem to ensure social welfare.

RESUMO O combate à má alimentação em todas as suas formas, que também se expressa na epidemia da obesidade, é uma das prioridades da Agenda 2030 e dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Este artigo traz elementos sobre insegurança alimentar no Brasil, a partir de temas relativos ao crescimento populacional, mudanças climáticas, biodiversidade e sistemas alimentares tradicionais e regenerativos; trata também do papel dos movimentos sociais para a garantia do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada. O Grupo de Pesquisa em Nutrição e Pobreza, o Saúde Planetária Brasil, e o Centro de Inteligência Artificial (C4AI) - Eixo AgriBio, entendem que a retomada organizada e sistêmica das frentes apontadas neste artigo de posicionamento, pode constituir um caminho para a articulação entre pesquisa, serviço e políticas públicas na direção do combate à fome e às demais manifestações da má alimentação, enquanto problema complexo prioritário para a garantia do bem-estar social.

Abstract The demographic transition process has generated questions about population aging, as well as drawing the attention of international organizations and public policy managers to generate programs that address this reality. The older adults, as a new social protagonist, questions the need to go through a “successful aging process”. In this way, educational opportunities become liberating options for this group, helping them to remain active, productive, and inserted in society. This work aimed to map the occurrence of educational policies, through the textual analysis of legal frameworks and formal documents related to the Elderly and Education in Brazil. As a result, the generic orientation of the Ministry of Education in relation to the group of older adults was observed, since the educational premises of the National Education Plan only mention Youth and Adults. This is evidenced by the lack of a coherent didactic project aimed specifically at the group. The negative image of the elderly in Brazil, who lost their role after so many years of illiteracy, can be institutionalized.

Resumen El proceso de transición demográfica ha generado interrogantes sobre el envejecimiento poblacional, así como llamar la atención de organismos internacionales y gestores de políticas públicas para generar programas que aborden esta realidad. La persona mayor, como nuevo protagonista social, pone en entredicho la necesidad de transitar por un “proceso de envejecimiento exitoso”. De esta manera, las oportunidades educativas se convierten en opciones liberadoras para este grupo, ayudándolos a mantenerse activos, productivos e insertos en la sociedad. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo mapear la ocurrencia de las políticas educativas a través del análisis textual de marcos legales y documentos formales relacionados con las personas mayores y la educación en Brasil. Como resultado, se observó la orientación genérica del Ministerio de Educación en relación con el grupo de adultos mayores, ya que las premisas educativas del Plan Nacional de Educación solo mencionan jóvenes y adultos. Con esto se evidencia la falta de un proyecto didáctico coherente dirigido específicamente a las personas mayores. La imagen negativa de los adultos mayores en Brasil, que perdieron su protagonismo después de tantos años de analfabetismo, puede ser institucionalizada.

Abstract Objective: To identify the perceptions of implementing online cooperative learning during the 2021 II academic semester by first-year students of Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) School of Medicine. Materials and methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional research design was used in this study. The population consisted of 592 students from the professional schools of Human Medicine, Nursing, Obstetrics, Nutrition and Medical Technology. A random probability sampling was carried out and a sample of 429 students was obtained. The Cooperative Learning Questionnaire with an 8-point Likert scale response format developed by McLeish was used as an instrument for data collection. It is a reliable and valid instrument that was administered online to the sample of students at the end of the course using Google Forms. The quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS Statistics V22. The descriptive statistics included frequencies, averages and standard deviation. Results: Out of the students in the sample, 65.9 % were females and 34.1 % were males. Most participants had favorable perceptions of online cooperative learning, with averages between 3.77 and 4.53. Favorable perceptions of this methodology were mainly identified in the dimensions quality of the group interaction process, teaching of interpersonal skills in small groups and positive interdependence. Conclusions: The students had favorable perceptions of online cooperative learning because it helped them to improve their social skills, favored their attitude toward group work, allowed them to participate in the sessions with enthusiasm, helped them to improve peer interaction, and promoted the development of their creativity and interpersonal skills.

Abstract This introductory paper to the dossier brings up new approaches to black diasporas and to the conceptual and empirical frameworks of mobility studies. It is divided into three parts. In the first, we address recent theory on diaspora, as well as the historicity, spatialities and diversities as applied to the Black Atlantic. In the second, we review the scholarship in the field of (im)mobilities in extended trajectories such as those examined in the dossier. Then, we approach the geographies reconfigured by the transit and settlement of Black people in the Americas. In the third part, we propose a systematization on two levels: the contribution of the dossier to studies on Black mobilities and diasporas, and the thematic lines explored. Finally, we briefly present each paper. parts first diaspora historicity Atlantic second immobilities im Then Americas part levels explored Finally

Abstract A strong brand has been identified as a long-term success factor. Still, there is a gap in the perception of different types of fans about the brand equity dimensions of football teams and how their dimensions influence loyalty in the Brazilian context. The purpose of the present study was to analyse the perception of brand equity among members and non-members of football teams and its influence on behavioural intentions. Data were collected from 420 fans of a State Football Championship from Brazil through an online survey and analysed using multigroup structural equation modelling. In that context, the brand mark was not an association considered by the fans, and the analysis indicated a better perception of the brand equity dimensions by the members, and the analysis with the complete sample indicated the relevance of the model (R2= 77%). Specifically, internalisation, social interaction, and management dimensions significantly impacted the behavioural intentions of football fans. The study provides an understanding of the dimensions of brand equity in a context not previously studied and the different perceptions of these dimensions through multigroup analysis. Further, it informs marketers of the brand equity elements that must be taken into account in an attempt to leverage team behavioural intentions.

Abstract In the last few decades, there have been considerable improvements in the diagnosis and care of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the most common childhood muscular dystrophy. International guidelines have been published and recently reviewed. A group of Brazilian experts has developed a standard of care based on a literature review with evidence-based graded recommendations in a two-part publication. Implementing best practice management has helped change the natural history of this chronic progressive disorder, in which the life expectancy for children of the male sex in the past used to be very limited. Since the previous publication, diagnosis, steroid treatment, rehabilitation, and systemic care have gained more significant insights with new original work in certain fields. Furthermore, the development of new drugs is ongoing, and some interventions have been approved for use in certain countries. Therefore, we have identified the need to review the previous care recommendations for Brazilian patients with DMD. Our objective was to create an evidence-based document that is an update on our previous consensus on those topics.

Resumo Nas últimas décadas, houve progressos significativos no diagnóstico e no tratamento da distrofia muscular de Duchenne (DMD), considerada a distrofia muscular mais comum na infância. Diretrizes internacionais foram publicadas e revisadas recentemente. Um grupo de especialistas brasileiros desenvolveu um padrão de atendimento baseado em revisão de literatura, com recomendações graduadas pautadas em evidências compiladas em uma publicação dividida em duas partes. A implementação de melhores práticas de manejo ajudou a modificar a história natural desta doença crônica, progressiva, que, no passado, oferecia uma expectativa de vida muito limitada para crianças do sexo masculino. Desde a publicação desse consenso anterior, o diagnóstico, o tratamento com esteroides, a reabilitação e os cuidados sistêmicos ganharam novas possibilidades a partir da divulgação dos resultados de trabalhos originais em algumas dessas áreas. Além disso, as pesquisas e o desenvolvimento de novos fármacos estão em andamento, e algumas intervenções já foram aprovadas para uso em determinados países. Nesse contexto, identificamos a necessidade de rever as recomendações anteriores sobre o manejo dos pacientes brasileiros com DMD. Nosso objetivo principal foi elaborar uma atualização baseada em evidências sobre esses tópicos do consenso.

ABSTRACT. The objective was to evaluate fertility, cyclicality behavior, and sexual performance of Pantaneiro sheep throughout the year’s photoperiods in Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil. Two experiments were conducted. In experiment one, the ewes used aged between 2 and 4 years, distributed in three homogeneous groups of 54 animals and subjected to reproductive evaluation in three different predefined luminosity periods, consisting of autumn (11h 45 min.), spring (12h 30 min.), and summer (12h 55 min.). The characteristics studied were body weight (BW), body condition score (BCC), estrus distribution (EST), percentage of pregnant females per cycle (%P), plasma progesterone (PP), and fertility (F) in the three predefined seasons. The mating system used was controlled natural nocturnal and lasted for 45 days. Experiment two, evaluated the ram sexual activity. The males (10) were individually exposed to four ovariectomized ewes. The ewes cycled during evaluated seasons, and the highest fertility was observed in animals with BCC >2.75. The PP concentration differed among periods, and higher conception rates (F) were observed in autumn and spring. The rams (75%) had a medium of sexual performance when they performed more than two ejaculations in 20 min throughout the seasons. Pantaneiro sheep of both genders had a similar fertility index, with early and constant activity throughout the year, displaying no photoperiodism or seasonality.

ABSTRACT: In this article we analyze a series of texts that we define as gender essays that were written by late 19th century teachers in Chile. Antonia Tarragó and Eduvigis Casanova were part of a women’s movement that from the 1870s began to demand equality. In this case, they argued in favor of an egalitarian education in the conjuncture of debates between liberals and conservatives for the construction of the nation-state. Considering feminist theory, we propose that it is necessary to recognize teachers as agents in the social, cultural and political contingency of the second half of the 19th century. In the gender essays analyzed, the teachers articulated and resignified historical and ethical frameworks that were based on enlightened perspectives that postulated the equality of souls and a thought sustained in regeneration. In this exercise, they promoted forms of self-determination and emancipation, valuing secondary and higher education as devices to challenge the segregated forms of gender built in the “male republic”.

RESUMEN: En este artículo analizamos una serie de textos que definimos como ensayos de género que fueron escritos por maestras de fin del siglo XIX en Chile. Antonia Tarragó y Eduvigis Casanova formaron parte de un movimiento de mujeres que a partir de la década de 1870 comenzaron a demandar igualdad. En este caso, argumentaron en favor de una educación igualitaria en la coyuntura de los debates entre liberales y conservadores por la construcción del Estado-nación. Considerando la teoría feminista, planteamos que se hace necesario reconocer a las maestras como agentes en la contingencia social, cultural y política de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. En los ensayos de género analizados, las maestras articularon y resignificaron marcos históricos y éticos que se basaban en perspectivas ilustradas que postulaban la igualdad de las almas y en un pensamiento sustentado en la regeneración. En ese ejercicio, promovían formas de autodeterminación y emancipación, valorando la educación secundaria y superior como dispositivos para cuestionar las formas segregadas de género construidas en la “república masculina”.

ABSTRACT Insects are fundamental to biodiversity conservation in almost all ecosystems, and their population decline, and extinction directly result from environmental impacts. These facts are aggravated by the lack of knowledge of insect biodiversity, the so-called biodiversity deficits, especially the Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls. In freshwater ecosystems, biodiversity loss is higher among aquatic insects, and caddisflies comprise one of the most vulnerable orders. In this way, research focusing on describing new caddisfly species and understanding their distribution ranges will increase knowledge of caddisfly biodiversity. In the past 14 years, the team from the Laboratório de Entomologia Aquática “Prof. Dr. Claudio Gilberto Froehlich” (LEAq, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brazil) and collaborators have been addressing these issues, resulting in 55 described species of caddisflies. Taxa in other insect orders have also received attention and an additional 16 species have been described (eight mayflies, four stoneflies, four neuropteran spongillaflies, and antlions). Here, eight caddisfly species are described and illustrated (Atopsyche froehlichi sp. nov., Austrotinodes zeferina sp. nov., Cernotina kariri sp. nov., Neoathripsodes froehlichi sp. nov., Notalina claudiofroehlichi sp. nov., Oecetis marcus sp. nov., Phylloicus froehlichi sp. nov., and Polycentropus claudioi sp. nov.), five of them in honor of LEAq’s patron. In addition, new distributional data are presented for 10 known species. A checklist of the caddisfly fauna of Bahia state is also presented, with 138 species, around 75% and 30% of them recorded and described by the LEAq team, respectively. Currently, for caddisflies, Bahia is the fifth most species-rich state in Brazil, and the first in the Brazilian Northeast region.

Considerações finais: Assim, foi abstraído um conceito de Advocacia em Saúde mais abrangente, do micro ao macro, em que contempla o desenvolvimento da autonomia do paciente; inclui indivíduos e grupos nos planos de cuidados e envolve-os em atividades políticas como possibilidades de fornecer assistência e corrigir desigualdades em saúde.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the concept of Health Advocacy from the methodological framework of the Evolutionary Model. Method: The concept of interest was evaluated from the perspective of published studies identified in the databases: Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE, SCOPUS, MEDLINE and articles of interest. The attributes were determined from 19 scientific productions. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, proposed by Bardin. Results: The following operational definition was obtained: Health Advocacy is an intentional action, implemented jointly and in favor of individuals and communities, especially for those who suffer from health inequalities, with the aim of preserving and improving health, well-being and empowerment for health promotion. Final considerations: Thus, a broader concept of Health Advocacy was abstracted, from the micro to the macro, which contemplates the development of the patient’s autonomy; includes individuals and groups in care plans and involves them in political activities as possibilities to provide assistance and correct health inequalities.
