Resumo O artigo tem por objetivo analisar as condutas alimentares de professores segundo os vínculos de trabalho. As entrevistas foram realizadas em 20 escolas da rede estadual de Londrina entre 2012 e 2013. Dos 978 professores entrevistados, 672 (68,7%) tinham vínculo efetivo e 306 (31,3%) temporário. Altas frequências de condutas alimentares recomendadas - consumo de frutas, verduras e/ou legumes e retirada da gordura visível da carne vermelha - foram observadas em professores com vínculo efetivo. Em contrapartida, professores com vínculo temporário apresentaram altas frequências de condutas alimentares não recomendadas - consumo de alimentos pré-preparados e de bebidas industrializadas ou refrigerantes. Destaca-se que o consumo em alta frequência de alimentos pré-preparados esteve estatisticamente associado ao tipo de vínculo independentemente de fatores sociodemográficos, de estilo de vida e da condição de saúde.

Abstract The scope of this article is to analyze the eating behavior of schoolteachers according to the type of employment contract. Interviews were conducted at 20 public state schools in Londrina, State of Paraná, between 2012 and 2013. Of the 978 teachers interviewed, 672 (68.7%) had permanent employment contracts and 306 (31.3%) were on temporary employment contracts. High frequencies of recommended eating behaviors - consumption of fruit, vegetables and/or vegetables and removing visible fat from red meat - were observed in teachers with a permanent employment contract. On the other hand, teachers with temporary employment contracts revealed a high frequency of non-recommended eating behaviors with consumption of pre-prepared foods and packaged drinks or sodas. It was highlighted that a high frequency of consumption of pre-prepared foods was statistically associated with the type of employment contract irrespective of sociodemographic, lifestyle and health status factors.

RESUMO. Foi conduzido o experimento para avaliar o comportamento ingestivo na terminação de touros e vacas de descarte na região do Cerrado do Estado do Piauí, no Brasil. Utilizaram-se quarenta bovinos, dos quais 20 novilhos com média de 283,0 ± 20,82 kg de peso corporal inicial e 30 meses de idade; e 20 vacas de descarte com média de 296,1 ± 17,80 kg de peso corporal inicial e 100 meses de idade. Os animais foram agrupados de acordo com os seguintes tratamentos: touros e vacas de descarte, utilizando um delineamento inteiramente casualizado. O comportamento ingestivo foi avaliado por meio de observações visuais a cada cinco minutos durante 24h. Os resultados foram submetidos a análise de variância pelo teste F (p < 0,05), utilizando o Sistema de Análise Estatística e Genética - SAEG (versão 9.1). Para todas as variáveis, houve diferenças entre as categorias (p > 0,05), mostrando que o comportamento alimentar é influenciado pela categoria dos bovinos.

ABSTRACT. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the feeding behavior of feedlot-finished bulls and cull cows in the Cerrado region of Piauí State, Brazil. Forty Zebu cattle were used, of which 20 steers averaging 283.0 ± 20.82 kg initial body weight and 30 months of age; and 20 cull cows averaging 296.1 ± 17.80 kg initial body weight and 100 months of age. Animals were grouped according to the following treatments: bulls and cull cows, using a completely randomized design. Feeding behavior was evaluated by means of visual observations every five minutes during 24h. Results were subjected to analysis of variance by the F test (p < 0.05) using the System for Statistical and Genetic Analysis - SAEG (version 9.1). The feeding behavior was expected not to affect the feed intake of cull cows and bulls, so that feed management can be the same for both categories. For all variables, there were differences between the categories (p > 0.05), showing that feeding behavior is influenced by the cattle category.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate productive traits in sheep fed roughage-free diets by multivariate analysis. Forty lambs were used in this study: 20 Santa Inês animals, consisting of 10 uncastrated males and 10 females; and 20 crossbreds (½ Santa Inês × Dorper), consisting of 10 uncastrated males and 10 females, at an average age of five months. Lambs were randomly allocated into the following treatments: Santa Inês males fed once daily (SM1); Santa Inês males fed twice daily (SM2); Santa Inês females fed once daily (SF1); Santa Inês females fed twice daily (SF2); crossbred males fed once daily (CM1); crossbred males fed twice daily (CM2); crossbred females fed once daily (CF1); and crossbred females fed twice daily (CF2). In the multivariate analysis, a difference was detected between the mean values for production classes and feeding-behavior variables (Wilks, Pillai, Hotelling-Lawley, and Roy tests). Tocher's optimization method had two groups formed: Group I, comprising treatments SM1, SM2, SF1, SF2, CF1, and CF2; and Group II, containing treatments CM1 and CM2 (crossbred males). When production and cud chews per day were evaluated, neutral detergent fiber digestibility and final weight were the performance-digestibility variables that most contributed to explaining the variation between treatments. When the feeding behavior was assessed, the time spent on other activities was the variable that most contributed. The crossbred genotype (½ Santa Inês × Dorper) and the male sex have superior performance for weight-related traits. However, when these animals are confined with females, it is recommended to supply the feed only once daily, irrespective of the genetic group.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the family member's perceptions of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients after care and health education process. This is a study descriptive, exploratory with a qualitative approach, using interviews with 13 family members of patients in the adult ICU of a university hospital who were entering in the unit for the first time. Data collection occurred from August to October 2015. First, the family members underwent an intervention in health and were subsequently conducted the semi-structured interviews with three guiding questions. The interviews recorded, transcribed and submitted to thematic analysis. The research followed all ethical procedures. Data grouped under three categories: conceptions of family members of ICU; feelings experienced by the family members to step into the ICU for the first time and health education as a facilitator for the reception family. Observed the lack knowledge of family members about the ICU enclosure, and stress and shock to find the serious hospitalized parent. It concluded that the reception and health education were decisive factors for the visitors, they granted security and are actions that according to the family members themselves, should be routinely performed.

RESUMEN Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la percepción de los familiares de pacientes hospitalizados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) después del recepción y proceso de educación para la salud. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, exploratorio con enfoque cualitativo, mediante entrevistas con los 13 miembros de la familia de los pacientes hospitalizados en la UCI de adultos de un hospital universitario que estaban entrando en la unidad por primera vez. La recolección de datos ocurrió entre agosto y octubre de 2015. En primer lugar, la familia se sometió a una intervención en salud y posteriormente se realizaron las entrevistas semi-estructuradas con tres preguntas de orientación. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas, transcritas y sometidas a análisis temático. La investigación siguió todos los procedimientos éticos. Los datos se agrupan en tres categorías: las concepciones de los familiares acerca de la UCI; sentimientos experimentados por las familias para entrar en la UCI por primera vez y educación para la salud como un facilitador para recepción de la familia. Fue observado la falta de conocimiento de la familia sobre el recinto de la UCI, y el estrés y el shock de encontrar la pariente hospitalizada grave. Se concluyó que la educación en salud fueron factores decisivos para los visitantes, que otorgan seguridad y son acciones que, según los propios miembros de la familia debe ser realizada de forma rutinaria.

RESUMO Os objetivos deste estudo foram:conhecer as percepções dos familiares ao adentrarem pela primeira vez na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI); realizar um processo de acolhimento e educação em saúde com familiares na primeira visita; analisar as percepções destes familiares acerca do acolhimento e processo educativo em saúde desenvolvido. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório, qualitativo, foram entrevistados 13 familiares de pacientes internados na UTI adulto de um hospital universitário que estavam adentrando a unidade pela primeira vez. A coleta de dados ocorreu de agosto a outubro de 2015. Primeiramente, os familiares foram submetidos a uma intervenção educativa em saúde e posteriormente foram realizadas as entrevistas semiestruturadas com três questões norteadoras. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e submetidas à análise temática. Os resultados foram organizados em três categorias: concepções dos familiares sobre a UTI; sentimentos vivenciados pelos familiares ao adentrarem na UTI pela primeira vez e educação em saúde como elemento facilitador para o acolhimento do familiar. Observou-se o desconhecimento dos familiares sobre a UTI e a tensão ao encontrar o familiar grave. Concluiu-se que o acolhimento e educação em saúde foram decisivos para os visitantes, concederam segurança e são ações que, segundo os familiares, devem ser realizadas rotineiramente.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional and productive characteristics of primiparous lactating cows grazing on tropical pasture, using different levels of crude glycerin in the supplement. The experiment was conducted at Rancho Santana farm, located in Jequié city, Bahia, Brazil, in the period from December 21, 2010 to March 16, 2011. Ten ¾ Holstein × ¼ Dairy Gyr lactating primiparous cows, with 109±24 days of lactation and a mean age of 30±6 months and mean body weight of 426.2±68.29 kg were distributed into five treatments, using two simultaneous 5 × 5 latin squares. Treatments consisted of inclusion levels (0, 94, 191, 289, 389 g/kg dry matter basis) of crude glycerin in the supplement. Intake, digestibility, milk production and composition were measured. Results were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance and regression at 0.05 probability. For all consumption variables no significant differences were found between the levels of crude glycerin. Except for the digestibility of ether extract, all digestibility values were similar between treatments. The fat content and yield showed quadratic effect between treatments. No significant differences were observed for protein, lactose, total solids, nonfat dry extract, fat:protein ratio, milk urea nitrogen and somatic cell count between treatments. For primiparous lactating cows grazing on tropical pasture, up to 389 g of crude glycerin/kg of dietary supplement can be included without nutritional and productive interference.
