In this study, we report the synthesis of acridone derivatives and their potential as photosystem II (PSII) inhibitors, as well as their preand post-emergence herbicidal activities through chlorophyll a fluorescence and germination assays. Among the compounds tested for PSII activity, acridin-9(10H)-one showed the most promising results, reducing the performance index on an absorption basis and decreasing the quantum yield for electron transport compared to the control. These findings suggest an inhibitory effect on PSII within the electron transport chain. Additionally, 2-chloroacridin-9(10H)-one and 9(10H)-acridone-4-carboxylic acid exhibited post-emergence herbicidal activity against Amaranthus lividus and Amaranthus viridis weeds, respectively, leading to a reduction in radicle and hypocotyl lengths. Furthermore, we applied a molecular docking approach with the D1 protein and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase to investigate the structure-activity relationships among the acridone derivatives with these enzymes. The analysis highlighted the importance of the carbonyl group and aromatic substituents on the acridone scaffold facilitating ligand interactions, especially through hydrogen bonding. Consequently, our research group aims to optimize these molecular features to develop new, potent bioactive molecular scaffolds.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic (KJOC) Shoulder and Elbow Score is commonly used to assess the functional status of athletes with conditions affecting the shoulder and elbow. However, a Brazilian Portuguese version of the KJOC questionnaire is currently unavailable. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop a Brazilian Portuguese version of the KJOC questionnaire. DESIGN AND SETTING: This translation and cultural adaptation study was conducted at the Federal University of Paraíba, Brazil. METHODS: The procedures adopted in this study followed guidelines recommending translation by two independent translators, synthesis of the translations, back-translation performed by two native English-speaking translators, analysis by an expert committee, and pre-testing. The Portuguese version was tested with 32 athletes to assess their understanding of the assessment tool. Items were deemed adequate if they were understood by at least 90% of the athletes. RESULTS: The terms and expressions of some original items were modified to achieve better comprehensibility in the Brazilian context. No further modifications were necessary after the pre-test; all terms were comprehensible to over 90% of athletes. CONCLUSION: The translation and cultural adaptation of the KJOC questionnaire into Portuguese were completed, resulting in a Brazilian version of the scale. Further studies are needed to evaluate the reliability and validity of this scale.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Genitourinary health significantly affects the quality of life of men, particularly those in middle age. Recent studies have shown that more than half of the men aged over 40 years experience some degree of low urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) or erectile dysfunction (ED). OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of ED and LUTS in middle-aged men and correlate this with quality of life data. DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a municipality in the countryside of São Paulo. METHODS: A trained team collected data between July 2021 and August 2022 through face-to-face interviews using a characterization instrument, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), International Index of Erectile Function-6 (IIEF-6), and World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale. RESULTS: The study included 375 male participants with a median age of 53 years (interquartile range [IQR] 38.5-66). The IIEF-6 showed the presence of some degree of ED in 51.1% (n = 188) of patients, with a median score of 25 (IQR 21-29). The IPSS revealed that 35.2% (n = 132) of the patients had some degree of LUTS, with a median score of 5 (IQR 2-11). The urological questionnaires had a direct proportional correlation with age (P < 0.001) and significant differences between the medians of different marital statuses (P < 0.001). The presence or severity of these disorders was inversely correlated with the individuals’ quality of life (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: ED and LUTS significantly correlated with the quality of life, marital status, and age in men. BACKGROUND 4 (LUTS ED. .

ABSTRACT There is great interest in varieties with greater competitive ability against weeds. This can be facilitated by path analysis, which involves the statistical evaluation and interpretation of the relationship between yield and its components. In this analysis, the occurrence of multicollinearity results in inconsistent estimates of the coefficients, and overestimates of the direct effects of the explanatory variables on the response variable. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics with the greatest direct effect on pod yield and green and dry bean yields in traditional cowpea varieties, evaluated in competition with weeds in two experiments. In addition, the presence of multicollinearity was investigated in the analyses. In Experiment-1, twelve varieties with the highest bean yields in a preliminary evaluation were assessed in a randomized block design with five replications. In Experiment-2, six varieties, selected in the preliminary evaluation, were assessed using two methods of weed management: three of the most productive and three of the least productive. Randomized blocks and split plots were used, with five replications. Multicollinearity, indicated by the number of conditions and the variance inflation values, was greater in Experiment-2. In the six cases under study (three yields x two experiments), the number of pods per plant had the greatest direct effect on yield. analysis components coefficients variable experiments addition analyses Experiment1, Experiment1 Experiment 1, 1 Experiment-1 replications Experiment2, Experiment2 2, 2 Experiment-2 management used Multicollinearity values Experiment2. 2. experiments, , experiments) Experiment-

ABSTRACT The introduction of 2,4-D-tolerant soybeans (ENLIST®) offers a new potential for herbicide application. Therefore, the present study aimed to (a) evaluate the effect of combinations of post-emergent herbicides on the control of Conyza spp. and (b) assess the selectivity of the post-emergent herbicide association in soybeans, ensuring effective application without compromising the health of the crop. A field experiment with 2,4-D-tolerant soybeans utilized a randomized complete block design with 14 treatments across four replications. Treatments included various combinations of 2,4-D with glyphosate, chlorimuron-ethyl, cloransulam-methyl, imazethapyr, bentazon, and imazamox. These were applied either as a single treatment or sequentially 15 days after treatment (DAT) using glufosinate-ammonium alongside two controls without herbicide application. The results showed less than 15% control across all treatments. At 21 DAT, only the treatments applied sequentially showed significant control, with effectiveness exceeding 80% against Conyza spp. In contrast, the single applications of the herbicide combinations with 2,4-D were ineffective for post-emergence control of Conyza spp. 2,4Dtolerant 24Dtolerant Dtolerant 2,4 D tolerant 2 4 ENLIST® ENLIST (ENLIST® Therefore (a postemergent post emergent spp b (b crop 1 replications 2,4D 24D glyphosate chlorimuronethyl, chlorimuronethyl chlorimuron ethyl, ethyl chlorimuron-ethyl cloransulammethyl, cloransulammethyl cloransulam methyl, methyl cloransulam-methyl imazethapyr bentazon imazamox DAT (DAT glufosinateammonium glufosinate ammonium 80 contrast postemergence emergence 4Dtolerant 24 2, (ENLIST 4D 8

RESUMO A introdução da soja tolerante a 2,4-D (ENLIST®) oferece um novo potencial para a aplicação de herbicidas. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo: (a) avaliar o efeito das combinações de herbicidas pós-emergentes no controle de Conyza spp., e (b) a seletividade da associação de herbicidas pós-emergentes em soja, garantindo uma aplicação eficaz sem comprometer a saúde da cultura. Um experimento de campo com soja tolerante ao 2,4-D utilizou um delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com 14 tratamentos em quatro repetições. Os tratamentos incluíram várias combinações de 2,4-D com glifosato, chlorimuron, cloransulam, imazethapyr, bentazona e imazamox. Estes foram aplicados como um único tratamento ou sequencialmente 15 dias após o tratamento (DAT) usando glufosinato de amônio, juntamente com dois controles sem aplicação de herbicida. Os resultados mostraram menos de 15% de fitotoxicidade em todos os tratamentos. Aos 21 DAT, apenas os tratamentos aplicados sequencialmente mostraram controle significativo, com eficácia superior a 80% contra Conyza spp. Em contraste, as aplicações únicas das combinações de herbicidas com 2,4-D foram ineficazes para o controle pós-emergência de Conyza spp. 2,4D 24D D 2,4 2 4 ENLIST® ENLIST (ENLIST® forma objetivo (a pósemergentes pós emergentes spp b (b cultura casualizados 1 repetições glifosato chlorimuron cloransulam imazethapyr imazamox DAT (DAT amônio herbicida significativo 80 contraste pósemergência emergência 4D 24 2, (ENLIST 8

Abstract After performing localized repairs, it is customary to observe the reappearance of corrosion points in the region adjacent to the repaired area, a situation usually called the incipient anode phenomenon. Although there are several studies have on the subject, there are still controversial aspects regarding its causes, location, and progression over time. To investigate these gaps in knowledge, samples were molded with unrepaired chloride-contaminated substrate and repaired with repair mortar containing 0%, 10%, and 20% binder replacement with rice husk ash (RHA). Then, measurements of the electrochemical variables of density and corrosion potential were carried out, as well as the destructive inspection of part of the samples. After the measurements, an increase in corrosion rates was observed after the repair, in the repair-substrate interface. In the destructive inspection, significant deterioration also was observed in the repair-substrate interface region, as well as inside the substrate. Regarding the effect of replacing the binder with RHA, no relevant reduction in the incipient anode was identified in the mortars with 10% and 20% RHA. On the other hand, a possible reduction in the passivation capacity of mortar with 20% RHA content was noted. repairs area phenomenon subject causes location time knowledge chloridecontaminated chloride contaminated 0 0% 10 20 .

Resumo Após a realização de reparos localizados, costuma-se observar o ressurgimento de pontos de corrosão na região adjacente à área reparada, situação usualmente denominada ânodo incipiente. Embora tenham sido feitas diversas pesquisas a respeito do tema, ainda restam controversos aspectos em relação às suas causas, localização e progressão no tempo. Com objetivo de investigar essas lacunas no conhecimento, moldaram-se amostras com substrato contaminado por cloretos não reparadas e reparadas com argamassa de reparo contendo substituição de ligante por sílica de casca de arroz (SCA) nos teores de 0%, 10% e 20%. Em seguida, realizaram-se aferições das variáveis eletroquímicas de densidade e potencial de corrosão, bem como a inspeção destrutiva de parte das amostras. Após as aferições, observou-se aumento nas densidades de corrosão após o reparo, na interface substrato-reparo. Na inspeção destrutiva, também foi constatada deterioração significativa na interface reparo-substrato, bem como em algumas regiões no interior do substrato. Em relação ao efeito da substituição de ligante por SCA, não foi identificada redução relevante do ânodo incipiente nas argamassas com 10% e 20% de SCA. Por outro lado, notou-se possível redução da capacidade de passivação da argamassa com teor de 20% de SCA. localizados costumase costuma se reparada tema causas tempo conhecimento moldaramse moldaram SCA (SCA 0 0% 10 20 seguida realizaramse realizaram observouse observou substratoreparo. substratoreparo reparo. substrato-reparo reparosubstrato, reparosubstrato substrato, reparo-substrato lado notouse notou 1 2

Abstract Human development is influenced by the interaction between biological and social factors. This study aimed to verify the moderating effect of social risk on the relationship between biological risk and child development. Data were collected on 201 children, aged 6 to 72 months. The independent variable was measured by the biological risk index, and the moderator variable by the social risk index was assessed by the Denver II test. Linear regression, effect size, and analysis of moderation were used to verify the relationship between BRI and the child development (Denver II), and the moderating effect of the SRI. BRI was negatively associated with child development, the interaction between the BRI and SRI increased the explained variance in the Denver II result to 14%. The SRI was also a significant moderator of the Language and Gross Motor domains. This research evidence that social risk moderates the relationship between biological risk and child development, the more social risk factors, the stronger this relationship becomes. On the other hand, it can be said that some social factors favor child development, even in the presence of biological risk factors. 20 children 7 months test regression size II, , II) 14 14% domains becomes hand 2 1

Resumo O desenvolvimento humano é influenciado pela interação entre fatores biológicos e sociais. Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar o efeito moderador do risco social na relação entre risco biológico e desenvolvimento infantil. Os dados foram coletados em 201 crianças, com idades entre 6 e 72 meses. A variável independente foi medida pelo índice de risco biológico, e a variável moderadora pelo índice de risco social. O desenvolvimento infantil foi avaliado por meio do teste Denver II. Regressão linear, tamanho do efeito e análise de moderação foram utilizados para verificar a relação entre IRB e o desenvolvimento infantil (Denver II) e o efeito moderador do IRS. O IRB associou-se negativamente ao desenvolvimento infantil, a interação entre o IRB e o IRS aumentou a variância explicada no resultado do Denver II para 14%. O IRS também foi um moderador significativo dos domínios Linguagem e Motor Grosso. Esta pesquisa evidenciou que o risco social é um moderador da relação entre risco biológico e desenvolvimento infantil; quanto mais fatores de risco social, mais forte essa relação se torna. Por outro lado, pode-se dizer que alguns fatores sociais favorecem o desenvolvimento infantil, mesmo na presença de fatores de risco biológicos. 20 crianças 7 meses linear associouse associou 14 14% Grosso torna lado podese pode 2 1

Abstract Introduction: Repetitive Negative Thinking (RNT) can be characterized as intrusive thoughts about worries (current, past, or future), negative experiences, and self-criticism, manifesting excessively and persistently. In a transdiagnostic process, it is identified that the RNT contributes to the onset and maintenance of multiple disorders. The present study aimed to adapt the Persistent and Intrusive Negative Thoughts Scale (PINTS) for the Brazilian context, investigating the psychometric qualities of the instrument. Method: Two studies were carried out with participants from different Brazilian states. In Study 1 (n = 258), the adaptation of PINTS and an exploratory factor analysis was performed. In Study 2 (n = 270), a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, and evidence of convergent validity was gathered. Results: Firstly, in Study 1, a unifactorial structure of the measure was indicated. Through Study 2, the unifactorial structure was corroborated, demonstrating adequate internal consistency (precision), demonstrating that PINTS positively correlated with negative affectivity (stress, anxiety, and depression) and cognitive test anxiety. Conclusion: It is concluded that PINTS exhibited satisfactory metric qualities, being a brief and easy-to-administer measure, potentially serving as a useful tool for researchers investigating maladaptive repetitive negative thinking and its correlates.

Resumo Introdução: o pensamento repetitivo negativo (PRN) pode ser caracterizado como pensamentos intrusivos sobre preocupações (atuais, passadas ou futuras), experiências negativas e autocríticas, manifestando-se de forma excessiva e persistente. Em um processo transdiagnóstico, identifica-se que o PRN contribui para o aparecimento e manutenção de transtornos múltiplos. O presente estudo objetivou adaptar a Persistent and Intrusive Negative Thoughts Scale (PINTS) para o contexto brasileiro, averiguando as qualidades psicométricas do instrumento. Método: procedeu-se a dois estudos com participantes de diferentes estados brasileiros. No estudo 1 (n = 258), foi realizada a adaptação da PINTS e uma análise fatorial exploratória. No estudo 2, (n = 270), foi realizada uma análise fatorial confirmatória além de reunidas evidências de validade convergente. Resultados: primeiramente, o estudo 1 apontou uma estrutura unifatorial da medida. A partir do estudo 2, foram corroboradas a estrutura unifatorial e a adequada consistência interna (precisão), o que demonstrou que a PINTS se relacionou positivamente com a afetividade negativa (estresse, ansiedade e depressão) e com a ansiedade cognitiva de provas. Conclusão: conclui-se que a PINTS apresentou qualidades métricas satisfatórias, sendo uma medida curta e de fácil aplicação, podendo ser uma ferramenta útil para pesquisadores que buscam investigar o PRN desadaptativo e os seus correlatos.

Resumen La aplicación de herbicidas preemergentes es una estrategia de control de malezas, sin embargo, estos productos deben presentar residualidad para el control de diferentes flujos germinativos. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la eficacia de herbicidas preemergentes en diferentes flujos de germinación de Merremia aegyptia, Mucuna aterrima y Ricinus communis, cuando se aplican sobre diferentes cantidades de paja y diferentes períodos secos simulados. El experimento se realizó en un diseño factorial 4 × 2 × 2 con cuatro repeticiones, el tratamiento incluye cuatro períodos secos (0, 30, 60 y 90), dos cantidades de paja (0 y 10 t ha-1) y dos flujos de germinación. Los herbicidas amicarbazona (1225 g ha-1); imazapic (147 g ha-1), sulfentrazona (800 g ha-1) y tebuthiuron (900 g ha-1), se aplicaron para el control de malezas antes de la emergencia, y los flujos de flujo de germinación se evaluaron a los 7, 14, 21, 28 y 35 días después de la emergencia de especies (DAE), mientras se verifica la masa seca. La amicarbazona presentó una reducción del control para todas las especies en los periodos secos más prolongados y presencia de paja. La amicarbazona mostró menos del 80% de control para todas las especies a los 90 días del período seco en presencia de paja. Imazapic no presentó residuo control para ninguna de las especies analizadas. Para sulfentrazona, la cantidad de paja no afectó el control de las malezas en diferentes flujos de germinación, mostrando el mismo patrón de control independientemente de la cantidad de paja, porcentajes de control superiores al 80% independientemente de la cantidad de paja. Los herbicidas asociados a cantidades de paja y periodos secos tienen impacto sobre las especies de malezas M.aegyptia, M.aterrima y R. communis.

Abstract Preemergent herbicides are a frequent weed control strategy. Considering different crop germinative fluxes, these products must present long-lasting weed control. This study evaluated preemergent herbicides in different germination fluxes of Merremia aegyptia, Mucuna aterrima and Ricinus communis when applied to different quantities of straw and different simulated dry periods. The experiment was conducted in a 4 × 2 × 2 factorial design with four replications. The treatments included four dry periods (0, 30, 60, and 90 days), two straw quantities (0 and 10 t ha-1), and two germination fluxes. The herbicides amicarbazone (1225 g ha-1), imazapic (147 g ha-1), sulfentrazone (800 g ha-1), and tebuthiuron (900 g ha-1) were applied for preemergence weed control, and germination flush fluxes were evaluated at 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days after emergence (DAE) while verifying plant dry mass. Amicarbazone controlled less than 80% of the studied species at the 90-day dry period in the presence of straw. Imazapic did not present control residue for any of the species analyzed. Sulfentrazone showed the same control pattern at all germination fluxes, regardless of the amount of straw. Tebuthiuron successfully controlled all species in the first germination flush, exceeding 80% regardless of the amount of straw. Herbicides associated with straw quantities and dry periods have a significant impact on M. aegyptiaca, M. aterrima and R. communis.

Abstract: The study aimed to gather evidence of accuracy and validity of the Behavioral Test Anxiety Scale (BTAS) in the Brazilian context. Specifically, the study examined its relationship with cognitive test anxiety. Two studies were conducted with university students. In the first study (n = 223; Mage = 21.57; SD = 5.35), the ECAE was adapted, and an exploratory factor analysis was performed, suggesting a bifactorial structure. In the second study (n = 239; Mage = 21.68; SD = 3.71), a confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the theoretical structure composed of two factors. Additionally, Pearson correlation (r) was used, showing positive relationships between the factors of the ECAE (execution difficulty and avoidance behavior) and cognitive test anxiety, indicating convergent validity. It can be concluded that the ECAE gathered adequate psychometric evidence and can be a useful tool in assessing university students with high-test anxiety, as well as contributing to the understanding and development of intervention strategies related to the theme of test anxiety.

ABSTRACT Objective: to conduct the cultural adaptation and evaluate the measurement properties of the Brazilian version of the Acute Coronary Syndrome Response Index. Method: a methodological study was conducted with adults of both sexes diagnosed with coronary artery disease. Individuals with an inability to understand Portuguese, significant hearing deficits, or those disoriented were excluded. Data were collected from November 2020 to August 2022 at a university hospital in the state of São Paulo. The cultural adaptation followed the steps recommended in the literature. The measurement properties were assessed in a sample of 244 individuals, testing the reliability and the face, content, construct, and structural validity. Results: the Brazilian version of the instrument retained semantic, idiomatic, conceptual, and cultural equivalences similar to the original version. The internal consistency results for the subscales were: KR-20 of 0.399 for the Knowledge subscale, and Cronbach’s alpha of 0.735 and 0.577 for the Attitudes and Beliefs subscales, respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated adequate fit indices to the original model of three subscales (Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs). Convergent construct validity showed a weak but positive correlation between the Knowledge and Beliefs subscales and between the Knowledge and Attitudes subscales. Conclusion: the Brazilian version preserved textual equivalences, face, content, and construct validity and showed an adequate fit to the original model when applied to individuals with coronary artery disease treated at a public and teaching hospital. Additional studies in different health institutions and with samples of varying characteristics are recommended.

RESUMEN Objetivos: comprender las percepciones de los profesionales de la salud y la educación sobre las dificultades de aprendizaje de los niños en las escuelas públicas. Métodos: investigación cualitativa, del tipo acción participativa, vinculada al Itinerario de Investigación de Paulo Freire. Participaron 45 profesionales, a través de entrevistas y un Círculo Virtual de Cultura. El análisis se desarrolló a través de una atenta lectura, reflexión e interpretación de los temas destacados. Resultados: los profesionales discutieron la (in)visibilidad de las dificultades de aprendizaje, las estrategias y los recursos en el sector educativo y la búsqueda de soluciones en el sector salud. Se encontró que la producción de quejas relacionadas con el aprendizaje escolar se atribuye predominantemente como un problema individual del niño o de su familia, eximiendo a la institución educativa de este proceso. Consideraciones Finales: urge una mayor inversión en políticas de formación y desarrollo profesional para facilitar la coordinación entre sectores, con miras a superar modelos pedagógicos y sanitarios obsoletos.

RESUMO Objetivos: conhecer as percepções dos profissionais da saúde e da educação acerca da dificuldade de aprendizagem de crianças da rede pública de ensino. Métodos: pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo ação participante, articulada ao Itinerário de Pesquisa de Paulo Freire. Participaram 45 profissionais, por meio de entrevistas e um Círculo de Cultura Virtual. A análise desenvolveu-se na leitura cuidadosa, reflexão e interpretação dos temas destacados. Resultados: os profissionais dialogaram sobre a (in)visibilidade da dificuldade de aprendizagem, as estratégias e os recursos do setor educacional e a busca por resolutividade no setor saúde. Verificou-se que a produção das queixas relacionadas à aprendizagem escolar está atribuída predominantemente como problema individual da criança ou de sua família, isentando a instituição educacional desse processo. Considerações Finais: é premente maior investimento em políticas de formação e aperfeiçoamento dos profissionais para propiciar a articulação entre os setores, com vistas a superar modelos pedagógicos e de saúde ultrapassados.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand health and education professionals’ perceptions regarding children’s learning difficulties in public schools. Methods: qualitative research, of the participatory action type, linked to Paulo Freire’s Research Itinerary. Forty-five professionals participated, through interviews and a Virtual Culture Circle. The analysis was developed through careful reading, reflection and interpretation of highlighted topics. Results: professionals discussed the (in)visibility of learning difficulties, strategies and resources in the educational sector and the search for solutions in the health sector. It was found that the production of complaints related to school learning is attributed predominantly as an individual problem of children or their family, exempting the educational institution from this process. Final Considerations: greater investment in professional training and development policies is urgently needed to facilitate coordination between sectors, with a view to overcoming outdated pedagogical and health models.
