Aim The aim of the present study is to assess the perception of undergraduate students on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Brazilian dental education. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire hosted in Google Forms platform and publicized on Instagram® and Facebook®. The questionnaire was available between July 8-27, 2020. Absolute and relative frequencies were obtained for variables of interest using Pearson’s chi-squared and considering 95% confidence intervals. Prevalence of learning resource variables according to self-reported skin color, educational institution, and Brazilian region were presented using equiplots. Results A total of 1,050 undergraduate dental students answered the questionnaire. Most students reported being in full-distance learning mode. Among the undergraduate students, 65.4% reported perceiving a very high impact in dental education, and 16.6% of students reported not being able to follow distance learning. In addition, 14% reported not having a personal laptop or desktop to study with, with this condition being more prevalent among non-white than white individuals. Conclusion We conclude that Brazilian dental students perceived a high impact of COVID-19 on dental education, as well as one-sixth of the students reported not having adequate resources to continue with distance learning. It is important that different policies are developed at the institutional and governmental levels to reduce the impact of the pandemic on dental education.

ABSTRACT Objective: this article discusses women’s experiences during their doctoral education in accounting, focusing on the work-life conflict. Theoretical framework: we adopted feminist theories to discuss the imposed social role on women through the sexual division of labor and how this social role relates to the search for balance between personal and professional life. Method: we adopted constructionism as the epistemological strand and feminist post-structuralism as a theoretical perspective. We conducted in-depth interviews to construct the research corpus. We analyzed the evidence through template analysis and ordered codes according to the research characteristics and purpose. Results: due to the fact that the academic structure replicates the sexual division of labor found in society, imposed dichotomies were found as ‘abandonment or postponement’ of personal life to the detriment of academic life, mainly by issues related to motherhood and the high demands of graduate programs. Conclusions: as a result, we conclude that female doctoral students play several social roles traditionally attributed to women. Therefore, they relegate their personal lives, deciding to postpone marriage and maternity or entering doctoral studies. Thus, considering both the personal relationships built with peers and teachers and the academic institutional environment, the academy still needs to advance to contemplate the trajectory of women so that the difficult choices do not fall on them. The paper contributes to the literature by offering insights and reflections specific to the accounting Brazilian academia.

RESUMO Objetivo: o presente artigo busca problematizar as experiências na pós-graduação e o work-life conflict na vida de doutorandas em ciências contábeis no Brasil. Marco teórico: o presente trabalho se apoia em teorias feministas que discutem o papel social imposto à mulher por meio da divisão sexual do trabalho e como tal papel social se relaciona na busca do equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional. Método: foi adotado o construcionismo, como vertente epistemológica, e o pós-estruturalismo feminista como perspectiva teórica. Para construção do corpus de pesquisa foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade, analisadas pela técnica de template analysis, com a construção de códigos ordenados, de acordo com as características da pesquisa e a intenção das pesquisadoras. Resultados: devido ao fato de a estrutura acadêmica replicar a divisão sexual do trabalho encontrada na sociedade, foram encontradas dicotomias impostas como ‘abandono ou adiamento’ da vida pessoal em detrimento da vida acadêmica, principalmente por questões relacionadas à maternidade e às altas cobranças dos programas de pós-graduação. Conclusões: como resultado, conclui-se que as doutorandas desempenham diversos papéis sociais tradicionalmente atribuídos às mulheres. Para tanto, relegam a vida pessoal, tomando a decisão de postergar casamento e maternidade ou a entrada no doutorado. Assim, consideradas tanto as relações pessoais construídas com pares e professores quanto o ambiente institucional acadêmico, a academia ainda precisa avançar para contemplar a trajetória de mulheres, de forma que as difíceis escolhas não recaiam sobre elas. O presente trabalho contribui para a literatura ao lançar olhares e reflexões específicas da academia contábil do Brasil.

Abstract The presence of spoilage microorganisms in forage interferes with the fermentation process of silage, due to competition with lactic acid bacteria for substrate, generating losses and influencing the nutritional value of the ensiled material. Thus, the objective is to evaluate the effect of “Alecrim Pimenta” essential oil (Lippia sidoides) and nanoformulated thymol on microbiological, fermentative and aerobic stability profile of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor cv. BRS Ponta Negra) silage intercropped with Paiaguás grass (Urochloa brizantha cv. BRS Paiaguás). A 4 x 3 factorial design was adopted, with four additives applied to the silages (control treatment; nanoformulated "Alecrim Pimenta" essential oil (OEN); 62% nanoformulated thymol; and 100% pure nanoformulated thymol), associated with three silo period times (15, 30 and 45 days), with five replications per treatment, totaling 60 mini silos. The Clostridium population was higher in the control treatment and in the OEN. The Lactobacillus population decreased with the increase in silo opening time. Higher aerobic stabilities were recorded in silages with 100% nanoformulated thymol with opening at 15 days; and silages with 62% nanoformulated Thymol (opening period at 30 and 45 days). Silages with 100% thymol provided higher losses of dry matter, gases and effluents, while the use of OEN provided lower losses of dry matter and gases. Silos opened at 45 days showed higher losses of dry matter, gases and effluents. Sorghum and Paiaguás grass silages that received nanoformulated thymol were more efficient in controlling Clostridium and Lactobacillus populations, and this additive improved the aerobic stability of the silage.

Resumo A presença de microrganismos deterioradores na forragem interfere no processo fermentativo da silagem, devido a competição com as bactérias ácido láticas por substrato, gerando perdas e influenciando o valor nutritivo do material ensilado. Assim, objetiva-se avaliar o efeito do óleo essencial de Alecrim pimenta (Lippia sidoides) e do timol nanoformulado sobre perfil microbiológico, fermentativo e estabilidade aeróbia de silagem do consórcio de Sorgo (Sorghum bicolor var. Ponta Negra) com capim Paiaguás (Urochloa brizantha cv. Paiaguás). Foi adotado esquema fatorial 4 x 3, quatro aditivos aplicados nas silagens (tratamento controle; óleo essencial de Alecrim pimenta nanoformulado (OEN); timol nanoformulado 62%; e timol nanoformulado 100% de pureza), associados a três tempos de abertura do silo (15, 30 e 45 dias), com cinco repetições por tratamento, totalizando 60 mini silos. A população de Clostridium foi maior no tratamento controle e no OEN. A população de Lactobacillus reduziu com o aumento no tempo de abertura do silo. Maiores estabilidades aeróbica foram registradas em silagens com timol nanoformulado 100% com abertura aos 15 dias; e silagens com Timol nanoformulado 62% (tempos de abertura aos 30 e 45 dias). Silagens com timol 100% proporcionaram maiores perdas de matéria seca, gases e efluentes, enquanto que o uso de OEN proporcionou menores perdas de matéria seca e gases. Silos com abertura aos 45 dias apresentaram maiores perdas de matéria seca, gases e efluentes. Silagens de Sorgo e capim Paiaguás que recebram timol nanoformulado foram mais eficientes em controlar as populações de Clostridium e Lactobacillus, bem como este aditivo melhorou a estabilidade aeróbica da silagem.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to assess physical and mental health, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) parameters in adolescents with physical disabilities enrolled in a sports nongovernmental organization (NGO) versus adolescents without disabilities during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 30 adolescents with disabilities and 86 adolescents without disabilities who responded to an online questionnaire with sociodemographic data and self-rated healthcare routine information during the COVID-19 quarantine. Validated self-report versions of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) were also applied. Results: The median of emotional [4 (0–10) vs. 5 (0–10), p=0.018] and prosocial [7 (0–10) vs. 9 (3–10), p=0.006] problems was lower in adolescents with disabilities versus adolescents without disabilities. Adolescents with disabilities had significantly lower global function [68 (21–99) vs. 94 (67–100), p<0.001] and higher happiness scores in the PODCI scale [90 (65–100) vs. 80 (0–100), p=0.016] compared to controls. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that physical activity/week (OR=1.03; 95%CI 1.01–1.05, p=0.002) was higher in adolescents with disabilities compared to adolescents without disabilities. However, housework activities (OR=0.14; 95%CI 0.04–0.43, p=0.001) and screen time ≥3 h/day (OR=0.09; 95%CI 0.02–0.38, p=0.001) were lower in adolescents with disabilities compared to adolescents without disabilities. Conclusion: Adolescents with disabilities attending a sports NGO were not at higher risk of adverse health-related indicators; despite showing reduced physical function, they reported more physical activity, higher happiness, and less screen time compared to adolescents without disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar os parâmetros de saúde física e mental, de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS), em adolescentes com deficiência física matriculados em organização não governamental (ONG) esportiva vs. em adolescentes sem deficiência, durante a pandemia da doença do coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19). Métodos: Este estudo transversal incluiu 30 adolescentes com deficiência e 86 adolescentes sem deficiência que responderam a questionário online com dados sociodemográficos e informações de rotina de saúde autoavaliadas durante a quarentena da COVID-19. Versões validadas de autorrelato do Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL4.0), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) e Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) também foram aplicadas. Resultados: A mediana de problemas emocionais [4(0–10) vs. 5(0–10),p=0,018] e pró-social [7(0–10) vs. 9(3–10),p=0,006] foi menor em adolescentes com deficiência vs. adolescentes sem deficiência. Adolescentes com deficiência tiveram função global significantemente inferior [68(21–99) vs. 94(67–100),p <0,001] e pontuações de felicidade mais altas do PODCI [90(65–100) vs. 80(0–100),p=0,016] em comparação com o grupo sem deficiências. A análise de regressão logística demonstrou que a atividade física/semana (odds ratio — OR=1,03; intervalo de confiança — IC95%=1,01–1,05,p=0,002) foi maior nos adolescentes com deficiência. No entanto, atividades domésticas (OR=0,14; IC95%=0,04–0,43,p=0,001) e tempo de tela ≥3 horas/dia (OR=0,09; IC95%=0,02–0,38,p=0,001) foram menores nos adolescentes com deficiência. Conclusões: Os adolescentes com deficiência que frequentam uma organização não governamental (ONG) esportiva não tiveram maior risco de apresentar indicadores adversos à saúde; apesar de apresentarem função física reduzida, relataram mais atividade física, maior felicidade e menos tempo de tela em comparação com adolescentes sem deficiência durante a pandemia da COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: Agriculture is central in Brazil’s political and socioeconomic history; agricultural exploitation is mainly conducted by families, creating a type of agriculture developed in small rural properties named family farming. In Brazil, family farming accounts for a very diverse group of businesses, of which 91% of all the establishments are family establishments that build different production strategies according to different degrees of potentiality and precariousness. This study evaluated the role of rural credit policies in developing family farming activities with agricultural income generation in northeastern Brazil on various family-based farms. For this, the authors conducted a case study in Pernambuco, analyzing the spatial relationship between the distribution of family farms and the access to credit resources from the National Program to Strengthen Family Farming from 2006 to 2017 and the change probabilities in types of farms considering the next 10 years, given the maintenance of conditionsreported in the analyzed period. Results indicatedthe weakening of productive potentiality of farming activities in family farms in Pernambuco, with a significant change in the distribution of family farm types, a reduction in the participation of Specialized Farms and an expressive growth of Farms with Rural Residents. The findings also indicated the relevance of access to rural credit in the supply of production needs of different family farm types and development of farming activities with income generation.

RESUMO: A agricultura é central na história política e socioeconômica do Brasil, a exploração agrícola é realizada principalmente por famílias, criando um tipo de agricultura desenvolvida em pequenas propriedades rurais denominada agricultura familiar que abrange 91% dos estabelecimentos rurais no país. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o papel das políticas de crédito rural no desenvolvimento das atividades agrícolas com geração de renda em diferentes tipos de estabelecimentos familiares do Nordeste Brasileiro. Para isso, foi realizado estudo de caso no estado de Pernambuco onde foi analisada a relação espacial entre a evolução da distribuição dos tipos de estabelecimentos familiares e o acesso aos recursos de crédito do Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar no período de 2006 a 2017 e as probabilidades de mudança nos tipos de fazendas, considerando os próximos 10 anos, dada a manutenção das condições encontradas no período de análise. Os resultados indicam o enfraquecimento da potencialidade produtiva das atividades agropecuárias pela agricultura familiar em Pernambuco, com mudança significativa na distribuição dos tipos de estabelecimentos familiares, redução da participação dos estabelecimentos especializados e crescimento expressivo dos estabelecimentos com residentes rurais. Os resultados indicaram, também, a relevância do acesso ao crédito rural no suprimento das necessidades produtivas nos diferentes tipos de estabelecimentos familiares e em viabilizar o desenvolvimento de atividades agropecuárias com geração de renda.

Abstract Objectives Evidence suggests that ketamine’s influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) might be involved in its mechanism of rapid antidepressant action. We aimed to evaluate the differential impact of ketamine and esketamine on serum BDNF levels and its association with response patterns in treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Methods Participants (n = 53) are from a randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing the efficacy of single-dose ketamine (0.5mg/kg, n = 27) and esketamine (0.25mg/kg, n = 26) in TRD. Depression severity was assessed before and 24 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days after the intervention, using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Blood samples were collected before infusion, 24 hours, and 7 days afterwards. Results There were no significant changes in BDNF levels at post-infusion evaluation points, and no difference in BDNF levels comparing ketamine and esketamine. Both drugs exhibited similar therapeutic effect. There was no association between BDNF levels and response to treatment or severity of depressive symptoms. Conclusion There was no significant treatment impact on BDNF serum levels – neither with ketamine nor esketamine – despite therapeutic response. These results suggest that ketamine or esketamine intervention for TRD has no impact on BDNF levels measured at 24 hours and 7 days after the infusion. This clinical trial is registered on the Japan Primary Registries Network: UMIN000032355.

Abstract Objective: To assess factors associated with emotional changes and Hyperactivity/Inattention (HI) motivated by COVID-19 quarantine in adolescents with immunocompromising diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional study included 343 adolescents with immunocompromising diseases and 108 healthy adolescents. Online questionnaires were answered including socio-demographic data and self-rated healthcare routine during COVID-19 quarantine and validated surveys: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL4.0). Results: The frequencies of abnormal emotional SDQ scores from adolescents with chronic diseases were similar to those of healthy subjects (110/343 [32%] vs. 38/108 [35%], p = 0.548), as well as abnormal hyperactivity/inattention SDQ scores (79/343 [23%] vs. 29/108 [27%], p = 0.417). Logistic regression analysis of independent variables associated with abnormal emotional scores from adolescents with chronic diseases showed: female sex (Odds Ratio [OR = 3.76]; 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI) 2.00–7.05; p < 0.001), poor sleep quality (OR = 2.05; 95% CI 1.08–3.88; p = 0.028) and intrafamilial violence during pandemic (OR = 2.17; 95% CI 1.12–4.19; p = 0.021) as independently associated with abnormal emotional scores, whereas total PedsQL score was inversely associated with abnormal emotional scores (OR = 0.95; 95% CI 0.93–0.96; p < 0.0001). Logistic regression analysis associated with abnormal HI scores from patients evidenced that total PedsQL score (OR = 0.97; 95% CI 0.95–0.99; p = 0.010], changes in medical appointments during the pandemic (OR = 0.39; 95% CI 0.19–0.79; p = 0.021), and reliable COVID-19 information (OR = 0.35; 95% CI 0.16–0.77; p = 0.026) remained inversely associated with abnormal HI scores. Conclusion: The present study showed emotional and HI disturbances in adolescents with chronic immunosuppressive diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic. It reinforces the need to promptly implement a longitudinal program to protect the mental health of adolescents with and without chronic illnesses during future pandemics.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar las tecnologías no invasivas y las estrategias de cuidados utilizadas por las enfermeras obstétricas para favorecer la libertad de movimientos y el posicionamiento en el proceso de parto. Método: Estudio descriptivo y cualitativo, con 20 enfermeras obstétricas que trabajan en servicios públicos de obstetricia en Rio de Janeiro - Brasil. Los datos se recopilaron entre mayo y julio de 2021 mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas y se sometieron a un análisis temático. Resultados: los participantes utilizan el estímulo para el desplazamiento y la realización de movimientos pélvicos y de agachamiento, sugiriendo también posiciones específicas, especialmente verticales. Como estrategias, se orientan hacia los beneficios de las tecnologías y respetan la elección de las parturientas, interfiriendo, además, en los casos de complicaciones obstétricas. Conclusión: el incentivo a la libertad de movimiento y posicionamiento en el parto pasa por la oferta de diferentes tecnologías no invasivas en una relación asistencial con procesos de toma de decisión clarificados y compartidos, que promuevan la autonomía y garanticen el derecho a una asistencia segura y respetuosa.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the non-invasive technologies and care strategies used by obstetric nurses to encourage freedom of movement and positioning in the parturition process. Method: A descriptive and qualitative study, with 20 obstetric nurses working in public obstetric services in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. Data were collected from May to July 2021 through semi-structured interviews and submitted to thematic analysis. Results: the participants use the encouragement to ambulate and perform pelvic movements and squats, also suggesting specific positions, especially vertical ones. As strategies, they orient about the benefits of these technologies and respect the choice of the expectant women, interfering, however, in cases of obstetric complications. Conclusion: The incentive to freedom of movement and positioning in parturition happens with the offer of different non-invasive technologies in a care relationship with clarified and shared decision-making processes, which promote autonomy and ensure the right to safe and respectful assistance.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the epidemiological and clinical profiles of corneal transplants performed in a reference eye center in Recife, state of Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional study collected epidemiological and clinical data from the medical records of patients who underwent keratoplasty at the Altino Ventura Foundation between January and December 2017. Results: A total of 356 procedures were performed in 327 patients, of whom 165 (50.5%) were female. The mean age at surgery was 50.9 ± 22.6 years (range, 10-89 years). Most patients (n=152 [46.5%]) were from the capital and metropolitan areas. The mean waiting time for keratoplasty was 52.4 ± 58.9 days (range, 0-460 days). The main indications for keratoplasty were infectious keratitis (n=88 [24.7%]), keratoconus (n=80 [22.5%]), and previous transplant failure (n=75 [21.1%]). Penetrating keratoplasty was the most common surgical technique performed (n=213 [59.9%]) and more frequently performed in men (n=132 [76.7%]), whereas posterior lamellar transplant (n=143 [41.1%]) was more frequently performed in women (p<0.001). Conclusion: Infectious keratitis was the main indication for keratoplasty, which was similarly performed in economically active adults of both sexes. Penetrating keratoplasty was more frequently performed in men and lamellar transplants in women.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil clínico e epidemiológico dos transplantes de córnea realizados em um centro de referência oftalmológica de Recife no estado de Pernambuco, localizado no nordeste do Brasil. Métodos: Esse estudo transversal coletou através de prontuários médicos dados clínicos e epidemiológicos de pacientes submetidos a ceratoplastia na Fundação Altino Ventura, de janeiro a dezembro de 2017. Resultados: Um total de 356 procedimentos foram realizados em 327 pacientes dos quais 165 (50.5%) eram mulheres. A média de idade na cirurgia foi de 50.9 ± 22.6 anos (variação, 10 - 89 anos). A maioria dos pacientes (n=152 [46.5%]) era da capital e região metropolitana. A média de tempo de espera na fila para o transplante de córnea foi de 52.4 ± 58.9 dias (variação, 0 - 460 dias). As principais indicações de transplante foram ceratite infecciosa (n=88 [24.7%]), ceratocone (n=80 [22.5%]) e falência de transplante prévio (n=75 [21.1%]). Transplante penetrante foi a técnica mais realizada (n=213 [59.9%]) e foi mais comum em homens (n=132 [76.7%]), enquanto os transplantes lamelares posteriores (n=143 [41.1%]) foram mais realizados nas mulheres (p<0.001). Conclusão: Ceratites infecciosas foram a causa mais comum de transplante, com prevalência similar em adultos economicamente ativos de ambos os sexos. Transplante penetrantes foram os prevalentes em homens e os transplantes lamelares em mulheres.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To determine the incidence of ocular emergencies and patient profiles in a public health eye center in Brazil. Methods: The medical record database of the Fundação Altino Ventura, Recife, Brazil was retrospectively analyzed and included all patients assisted at the ophthalmic emergency room between January 2017 and January 2018. Medical records with incomplete data and outpatient complaints were excluded. For records with multiple visits, only the initial visit was considered. Results: In 1 year, 134,788 patients (mean age at admission: 38.7 ± 22 years; range: 0-99 years) were admitted at the emergency room of the Fundação Altino Ventura. The most frequent diagnoses were conjunctivitis (52,732 cases; 37.3%), blepharitis (7,213 cases; 5.1%), and corneal/conjunctival foreign body (6,925 cases; 4.9%). Corneal/conjunctival foreign body and ocular trauma had an eight- and two-fold higher incidence in male patients, respectively (both p<0.001). Female patients presented a two-fold higher incidence of trichiasis and blepharitis than males (p<0.001). Corneal/conjunctival foreign body and ocular trauma affected more patients in a productive age (>15 years), while corneal ulcers, blepharitis, and trichiasis affected more elderly patients. All diagnostic clusters (e.g., infectious diseases, ocular trauma, foreign bodies, retinopathies, eyelid disorders, corneal diseases, glaucomatous crisis, and neuroophthalmological diseases) were more common during the spring season (p<0.001). Conclusion: The most common ocular emergencies in the present study were infectious diseases and foreign body. However, the incidence of ophthalmological emergencies was influenced by the age and sex of patients, as well as the time of the year.

RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar a incidência de emergências oculares em um centro oftalmológico de referência no Brasil. Métodos: O banco de dados de prontuários da Fundação Altino Ventura, Recife, Brasil, foi analisado retrospectivamente e incluiu pacientes atendidos, entre janeiro de 2017 e janeiro de 2018, na sala de emergência oftalmológica. Foram excluídos os prontuários com dados incompletos e com quadros ambulatoriais. Apenas o primeiro atendimento na emergência foi considerado para análise. Resultados: Em um ano, 134.788 pacientes (idade média de 38,7 ± 22 anos [0-99 anos]) foram admitidos na emergência da Fundação Altino Ventura. Os diagnósticos mais frequentes foram conjuntivite (52.732 casos [37,3%]), blefarite (7.213 casos [5,1%]) e corpo estranho na córnea/conjuntiva (6.925 casos [4,9%]). Corpo estranho na córnea/conjuntiva e trauma ocular foram cerca de 8 vezes e 2 vezes mais incidente em indivíduos do sexo masculino, respectivamente (p<0,001 em ambos). Triquíase e blefarite afetaram ~2 vezes mais pacientes do sexo feminino, respectivamente (p<0,001 em ambos). Corpo estranho na córnea/conjuntiva e trauma ocular afetaram mais pacientes em idade produtiva (>15 anos), enquanto úlcera, blefarite e triquíase da córnea afetaram mais pacientes idosos. Todos os grupamentos de diagnóstico (doenças infecciosas, trauma ocular, corpos estranhos, retinopatias, doenças das pálpebras, doenças da córnea, crise glaucomatosa e doenças neurooftalmológicas) foram mais incidentes na primavera (valor de p<0,001). Conclusão: As emergências oftalmológicas mais comuns no presente estudo foram as doenças infecciosas e o corpo estranho. Porém, a incidência das emergências oculares são fluências pela faixa etária e gênero do paciente, além da época do ano.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Various beneficial biological activities have been reported for passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), grown in tropical and subtropical regions. However, no study has yet demonstrated its action against the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-ZIKV of the ethanolic passion fruit seed extract (PFSE), from which, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis allowed to putatively annotate the occurrence of piceatannol, astringin, scirpusin A, scirpusin B, isookanin-7-O-glucoside and naringenin-7-O-glucoside, two quadranguloside derivatives, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. PFSE is well tolerated by cell lines (Vero E6 and HTR-8/SVneo) and tissue explants from the human placenta. With 1- and 24-h treatments, PFSE consistently reduced the viral load and NS1 protein expression of the two strains of ZIKV (MR766 and PE243) in placental explants and cell lines. Thus, PFSE has a promising potential for developing anti-ZIKV treatments, protecting the placenta against infection caused by ZIKV, along with relevant antioxidant potential, represented by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of 390.5 Trolox eq per g dry extract and half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) of 12.1 µg mL-1, and more than 90% protection from lipid peroxidation. Although further studies need to be conducted, PFSE treatment was safe and effective in trophoblast cells and placental explants, thus representing a promising class of all-accessible products based on the reuse of industrial by-products.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate physical and mental health indicators in adolescents with preexisting chronic immunocompromised conditions during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) quarantine. Methods: A cross-sectional study included 355 adolescents with chronic conditions and 111 healthy adolescents. An online self-rated survey was used to investigate socio-demographic features, healthcare routine, and the quarantine impact on physical and mental health. The validated self-reported version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was also applied. Results: The median of age [14 (10–18) vs. 15 (10–18) years, p = 0.733] and frequencies of female (61% vs. 60%, p = 0.970) were similar between adolescents with preexisting chronic conditions and healthy adolescents during quarantine of COVID-19 pandemic. The frequencies of abnormal total difficulties score of SDQ were similar in patients and controls (30% vs. 31%, p = 0.775). Logistic regression analysis showed that being female (OR = 1.965; 95% CI = 1.091–3.541, p = 0.024), fear of underlying disease activity/complication (OR = 1.009; 95%CI = 1.001–1.018, p = 0.030) were associated with severe psychosocial dysfunction in adolescents with chronic conditions, whereas school homework (OR = 0.449; 95% CI = 0.206–0.981, p = 0.045) and physical activity (OR = 0.990; 95% CI = 0.981–0.999, p = 0.030) were protective factors. Further analysis of patients with chronic immunocompromised conditions and previous diagnosis of mental disorders (9%) compared with patients without diagnosis showed higher median of total difficulties score (p = 0.001), emotional (p = 0.005), conduct (p = 0.007), peer problems (p = 0.001) and hyperactivity (p = 0.034) in the former group. Conclusion: Adolescents with preexisting chronic immunocompromised conditions during COVID-19 quarantine were not at higher risk of adverse health indicators. Being female, fear of underlying disease activity/complication, and household members working outside of the home were relevant issues for adolescents with preexisting chronic conditions. This study reinforces the need to establish mental health strategies for teens with chronic conditions, particularly during the pandemic.

Resumen Este estudio tuvo como objetivo adecuar la Escala de Motivación para Engañar (EME) al contexto estudiantil brasileño, recogiendo evidencias de validez a partir de su estructura interna. Se realizaron dos estudios. En el Estudio 1, los 20 ítems de la EME fueron traducidos al portugués y sometidos a la evaluación semántica por parte de diez estudiantes, quienes los consideraron suficientemente comprensibles. Posteriormente, buscando comprender la estructura interna de la medida, participaron 212 estudiantes de la Educación Secundaria (M = 16,10 años; DS = 1,02). Un análisis factorial exploratorio indicó la existencia de dos factores (búsqueda de realización e inhibición moral), en los que se saturaron 18 ítems. El Estudio 2 tuvo como objetivo verificar esta estructura factorial. Por lo que, los 18 ítems fueron respondidos por 229 estudiantes de Secundaria (M = 16,20 años; DS = 1,23). Un análisis factorial confirmatorio demostró la adecuación bifactorial. La EME ha revelado evidencias de validez basadas en la estructura interna, pudiendo ser utilizada en investigaciones brasileñas.

Abstract This study aimed to adapt the Motivation to Cheat Scale (MCS) to the Brazilian student context, gathering evidence of validity based on its internal structure. Two studies were carried out. In Study 1, the 20 items of the MCS were translated into Portuguese and evaluated semantically by ten students, who consider them sufficiently understandable. Subsequently, seeking to know the internal structure of the measure, there was the participation of 212 high school students (M = 16.10 years; SD = 1.02). An exploratory factor analysis indicated the existence of two factors (search for success and moral initiation), which were saturated 18 items. O Study 2 aimed to verify this factorial structure. Logo, the 18 items answered by 229 high school students (M = 16.20 years; SD = 1.23). A confirmatory factorial analysis confirmed bifactorial adjustment. MCS has evidence of validity based on internal structure, which can be used in research outside of Brazil.

Resumo Objetivou-se adaptar a Escala de Motivação para Trapacear (EMT) para o contexto estudantil brasileiro, reunindo evidências de validade baseadas em sua estrutura interna. Realizaram-se dois estudos. No Estudo 1, os 20 itens da EMT foram traduzidos para o português e submetidos à avaliação semântica de dez estudantes, que os consideraram suficientemente compreensíveis. Posteriormente, buscando-se conhecer a estrutura interna da medida, contou-se com a participação de 212 estudantes do Ensino Médio (M = 16,10 anos; DP = 1,02). Uma análise fatorial exploratória indicou a existência de dois fatores (busca de realização e inibição moral), nos quais saturaram 18 itens. O Estudo 2 visou comprovar essa estrutura fatorial. Logo, os 18 itens foram respondidos por 229 estudantes do Ensino Médio (M = 16,20 anos; DP = 1,23). Uma análise fatorial confirmatória comprovou o ajuste bifatorial. A EMT apresentou evidências de validade baseadas na estrutura interna, podendo ser utilizada em pesquisas no Brasil.

Resumen En plena situación de pandemia, además del aumento de casos de COVID-19, también hubo un aumento considerable de casos de violencia doméstica de género en Brasil. Observamos que esa situación tan alarmante ha inspirado a algunos individuos y organizaciones a crear iniciativas para enfrentar esta realidad que también ha afectado al mercado. Por lo tanto, este artículo busca comprender cómo las relaciones entre las prácticas del mercado pueden generar discusiones sobre cuestiones sociales como la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres a la violencia doméstica. Nuestro camino metodológico comienza con la iniciativa de Magazine Luiza (que es uno de los mayores minoristas brasileños): el botón de pánico en la aplicación de Magalu. Construimos un corpus basado en noticias que dieron visibilidad a esta práctica de mercado. Si bien las prácticas de mercado de Magalu pueden verse como influyentes en la lucha contra la violencia de género, existe el peligro inminente de relegar la defensa de las mujeres solo al ámbito del mercado, cuando la creación de resiliencia es, sin duda, el resultado de la acción conjunta de la sociedad en su conjunto.

Abstract Gender-based domestic violence has increased considerably in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. This alarming situation has affected the market and has inspired individuals and organizations to create initiatives to tackle the issue. This article seeks to understand how the links between market practices prompt discussions on social issues such as women’s vulnerability in the face of domestic violence. The methodological path was built around an initiative by Magazine Luiza (a major Brazilian retailer): the panic button in the Magalu app. A corpus was formed, gathering news about the initiative and analyzed afterward. Although Magalu’s market practices can be seen as influential in the fight against gender violence, there is imminent danger of relegating the defense of women to the market sphere, whereas in contrast, the creation of resilience is, without a doubt, the result of joint action by society as a whole.

Resumo Em plena situação de pandemia, além do aumento de casos da COVID-19, também houve um crescimento considerável de ocorrências de violência doméstica baseada em gênero no Brasil. Observamos que tal situação alarmante inspirou alguns indivíduos e organizações a criarem iniciativas para lidar com esta realidade, que também afetou o mercado. Assim, o presente artigo busca compreender como as relações entre as práticas de mercado podem gerar discussões sobre questões sociais, tais como, a vulnerabilidade de mulheres frente à violência doméstica. Nosso caminho metodológico começa a partir da iniciativa da Magazine Luiza (que é uma das maiores varejistas brasileiras): o botão de pânico no aplicativo da Magalu. Construímos um corpus a partir de uma notícia que deu visibilidade a essa prática de mercado. Embora as práticas de mercado do Magalu possam ser vistas como influentes na luta contra a violência de gênero, existe um iminente perigo de relegar somente à esfera do mercado a defesa das mulheres, quando a criação da resiliência é, sem sombra de dúvida, resultado da ação conjunta da sociedade como um todo.

Abstract The residues from wood processing are an opportunity for energy use, and the briquetting is an efficient process of concentrating the available energy from forest biomass. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate different compositions of residues from African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis and Khaya senegalensis) and eucalypts (Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla) woods for the production of briquettes. To do so, five composites were tested with different proportions of residues (100% eucalypts, 75% eucalypts + 25% African mahogany, 50% eucalypts + 50% African mahogany, 25% eucalypts + 75% African mahogany e 100% African mahogany) and submitted to analysis chemical and physical (total extracts, total lignin, ash content, moisture content, higher calorific value and bulk density). The briquettes were produced at a temperature of 120°C, pressure of 100 kgf cm-2 and compaction and cooling times of 5 and 7 minutes, respectively and were submitted to physical-mechanical analysis (apparent relative density and resistance to axial compression). The compositions with the highest percentage of African mahogany had higher extractives and ash content, and a greater calorific value. For the briquettes from compositions with higher percentages of eucalyptus, there was less apparent relative density and less resistance to axial compression. Despite this, the residues of these species have potential for energy generation. However, the briquettes with a higher percentage of African mahogany in the composition have greater energy potential and are, mechanically, more resistant.

Resumo Os resíduos oriundos do processamento da madeira constituem uma oportunidade para o aproveitamento energético, sendo a briquetagem um processo eficiente para concentrar a energia disponível da biomassa florestal. Nesse sentido, este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar diferentes composições de resíduos das madeiras de mogno-africano (Khaya ivorensis e Khaya senegalensis) e eucalipto (Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla) para produção de briquetes. Para isso, cinco composições foram testadas com diferentes proporções de resíduos (100% eucalipto, 75% eucalipto + 25% mogno-africano, 50% eucalipto + 50% mogno-africano, 25% eucalipto + 75% mogno-africano e 100% mogno-africano) e submetidas às análises químicas e físicas (extrativos totais, ligninas totais, teor de cinzas, teor de umidade, poder calorífico e densidade a granel). Os briquetes foram produzidos à temperatura de 120°C, pressão de 100 kgf cm-2 e tempos de compactação e resfriamento de 5 e 7 minutos, respectivamente, sendo submetidos a ensaios físico-mecânicos (densidade relativa aparente e resistência à compressão axial). As composições com maiores porcentagens de mogno-africano tiveram maior teor de extrativos e cinzas, e maior poder calorífico superior. Para os briquetes oriundos das composições com maiores porcentagens de eucalipto, verificou-se menor densidade relativa aparente e menor resistência à compressão axial. Apesar disso, os resíduos dessas espécies possuem potencial para a geração de energia, sendo os briquetes produzidos com maior porcentagem de mogno-africano, os que apresentaram maior potencial energético e resistência mecânica.
