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 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.

ABSTRACT Background: Malaria is a parasitosis conditioned by several factors. This study sought to analyze the spatial distribution of malaria considering environmental, socioeconomic, and political variables in São Félix do Xingu, Pará, Brazil, from 2014 to 2020. Methods: Epidemiological, cartographic, and environmental data were obtained from the Ministry of Health, Brazilian Geographical and Statistical Institute, and National Space Research Institute. Statistical and spatial distribution analyses were performed using chi-squared tests of expected equal proportions and the kernel and bivariate global Moran’s techniques with Bioestat 5.0 and ArcGIS 10.5.1. Results: The highest percentage of cases occurred in adult males with brown skin color, mainly placer miners, with a primary education level, living in rural areas, who were infected with Plasmodium vivax and with parasitemia of two or three crosses as diagnosed by the thick drop/smear test. The disease had a non-homogeneous distribution, with distinct annual parasite indices associated with administrative districts and clusters of cases in locations with deforestation, mining, and pastures close to Conservation Units and Indigenous Lands. Thus, a direct relationship between areas with cases and environmental degradation associated with land use was demonstrated, along with the precarious availability of health services. Pressure on protected areas and epidemiological silence in Indigenous Lands were also noted. Conclusions: Environmental and socioeconomic circuits were identified for development of diseases associated with precarious health services in the municipality. These findings highlight the need to intensify malaria surveillance and contribute to the systematic knowledge of malaria’s epidemiology by considering the complexity of its conditioning factors.

Abstract Mobile devices and applications are present in various social practices. As these resources are available in educational practices, it is necessary to investigate their possibilities and constraints in contexts of language learning in higher education. This interpretive qualitative study aims to investigate the affordances that emerge from the use of mobile devices and applications to develop reading activities in English. To generate the data, a semi-structured questionnaire was answered by undergraduate students attending ESP I and II courses offered by the Faculty of Letters of a Brazilian federal higher-education institution. The findings show that, during the activities proposed in these courses, students use mobile devices and applications to search for meanings of words – especially quick searches – and answers to questions at any time and at their own pace (optimization of study time), and also to improve their lexical repertoire. The screen size of smartphones and the usability of Moodle for tasks on these devices were pointed out as factors that hindered the development of the tasks proposed in the courses. These findings may serve as a starting point for future investigations on the use of these digital technologies in the context of language learning.

Resumo Os dispositivos e aplicativos móveis estão presentes em diversas práticas sociais. Como eles estão também presentes nas práticas educacionais, faz-se necessário investigar suas possibilidades e limitações em contextos de aprendizagem de línguas no ensino superior. Este estudo, de natureza qualitativa interpretativista, tem o objetivo de investigar as affordances que surgem da utilização de dispositivos e aplicativos móveis no desenvolvimento de atividades de leitura em inglês. Para a geração dos dados, foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado aos estudantes das disciplinas de Inglês Instrumental I e II, ofertadas pela Faculdade de Letras de uma instituição federal de ensino. Os resultados demonstram que, durante as atividades propostas nesses cursos, os estudantes se apropriam de dispositivos e aplicativos móveis para buscar significados de palavras – principalmente em pesquisas rápidas – respostas para dúvidas a qualquer hora e no próprio ritmo (otimização do tempo de estudo), bem como para aprimorar seu repertório lexical. O tamanho da tela dos smartphones e a usabilidade do Moodle para tarefas nesses dispositivos foram informadas como algumas das limitações para o desenvolvimento das tarefas propostas nos cursos. Esses resultados poderão servir de ponto de partida para futuras investigações sobre o uso dessas tecnologias digitais no contexto de aprendizagem de línguas.

Resumo O artigo apresenta o Modelo de Análise do Consumo Simbólico em Jogos Digitais, desenvolvido com aportes teórico-metodológicos da Semiologia dos Discursos Sociais, dos Estudos de Jogos e do Modelo de Comunicação como Mercado Simbólico. A partir do estudo da produção de sentidos por jogadores em jogos digitais de entretenimento, a elaboração do modelo considerou e desenvolveu a ideia de que o consumo simbólico resulta de uma sucessão de movimentos articulados que vão da recepção stricto sensu à apropriação. Desenvolvido e aplicado em uma pesquisa que enfocou o consumo de sentidos de saúde, o modelo permitiu não só evidenciar as redes de sentidos, mas também que essas redes entrelaçam discursos da vida física com a virtual e que as diferentes maneiras com que os sentidos são consumidos variam conforme os diferentes contextos e formas de envolvimento do jogador. O desenvolvimento metodológico permitiu a elaboração de categorias analíticas para o estudo do consumo simbólico.

Abstract The article presents the Analysis Model of Symbolic Consumption in Digital Games, developed with theoretical and methodological contributions from the Semiology of Social Discourses, Game Studies and the Communication Model as a Symbolic Market. From the study of the production of meanings by players in digital entertainment games, the elaboration of the model developed the idea that symbolic consumption results from a succession of articulated movements ranging from reception sensu stricto to appropriation. Developed and applied in research that focused on the consumption of meanings of health, the model allowed not only to highlight the networks of meanings, but also that these networks intertwine discourses of physical and virtual life and that the different ways in which the senses are consumed vary according to different contexts and forms of player involvement. The methodological development allowed the creation of analytical categories for the study of symbolic consumption. Games Discourses Market games appropriation health involvement

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) encompasses degeneration of articular cartilage, subchondral bone erosions and sclerosis. Chondrocyte apoptosis and an oxygen-deprived microenvironment are essential factors in OA pathogenesis. PAR-4 (Prostate apoptosis response-4) is a pro-apoptotic protein implicated in many pathologies as well as in chondrocyte cell death mechanism. Vitamin D supplementation has been identified as a therapeutic tool for a variety of inflammatory pathologies. In the present manuscript, we investigated whether first, PAR-4 expression is influenced by chondrocytes in a model of OA, in vitro, and second, whether vitamin D modulates PAR-4 expression in the same model. To test our hypothesis, we used the primary culture of murine chondrocytes isolated from the femoral and tibial condyles of wistar rats. The expression of the pro-inflammatory effect interleukin IL-1β was evaluated in the presence and absence of vitamin D. Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis confirmed protein expression. In the normoxia condition, the chondrocytes expressed PAR-4 in the cell nucleus, and in the hypoxic condition, PAR-4 was expressed in the cell cytoplasm. We disclosed that the treatment with Vitamin D decreased PAR-4 (p= 0.0137) and caspase-3 (p= 0.0007) expression. Thus, the results suggested that PAR-4 and caspase-3 proteins could be potential targets for OA.However, we believe that research is needed to identify the mechanisms implicated in the regulation of PAR-4 in OA.

Abstract Chronic hepatitis B is an important health problem that can progress to cirrhosis and complications such as hepatocellular carcinoma. There is approximately 290 million of people with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection worldwide, however only 10% of patients are currently identified.Most part of Brazil is considered of low prevalence of HBV infection but there are some regions with higher frequency of carriers. Unfortunately, many infected patients are not yet identified nor evaluated for treatment.The Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases (SBI) and the Brazilian Society of Hepatology worked together to elaborate a guideline for diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B. The document includes information regarding the population to be tested, diagnostic tools, indications of treatment, therapeutic schemes and also how to handle HBV infection in specific situations (pregnancy, children, immunosuppression, etc).Delta infection is also part of the guideline, since it is an important infection in some parts of the country.

The study evaluated the vasorelaxant effect induced by the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Zanthoxylum rhoifolium Lam (EEtOH-Zr/leaves). Wistar rats were treated with the leaf extract containing a single dose of 2,000 mg / kg, v.o. After 14 days, the animals were anesthetized for blood collection and subsequent analysis of the biochemical parameters; they were then euthanized (sodium pentobarbital-100 mg/kg, i.p.) for the removal and morphological analysis of the heart, lung, liver and kidney. The vasorelaxation activity the and vascular reactivity of EEtOH-Zr/leaves were evaluated on artery mesenteric rings isolated from rats. The extract showed no signs of toxicity and no significant difference in the values of the biochemical parameters between the control group and the group of treated animals. In the evaluation of pharmacological activity in the smooth muscle, the EEtOH-Zr/leaves caused vasorelaxant effect on the tonic contraction induced by phenylephrine in mesenteric artery preparations in the presence (pD2=2.17±0.05 µg/mL; Emax=99.8±5.2%) and absence (pD2=2.14±0.05 µg/mL; Emax=95.3±6.4%) of the vascular endothelium. Oral administration of EEtOH-Zr/leaves reduced the contraction induced by the cumulative addition of PHE. It is concluded that the EEtOH-Zr/leaves promote vasorelaxation and reduce vascular reactivity of adrenergic alpha-1 agonist in the mesenteric artery. The results did not show toxic effects of the extract.

Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of systemic administration of probiotics (PROB) on the progression of experimentally induced oral and intestinal mucositis in rats immunosuppressed by chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil: 5-FU). Twenty-four rats were divided into the following groups (n=6): GC (control), GPROB, G5FU and G5-FU/PROB. Groups GPROB and G5-FU/PROB received 1 g of probiotic incorporated into each 100 g of feed (Bacillus subtilis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacilllus acidophilus), beginning 30 days before oral mucositis induction. Groups G5FU and G5-FU/PROB received 60 mg/kg of 5-FU on days 0 and 2. The left oral mucosa of each animal was irritated by mechanical trauma (days 1 and 2). On days 3 and 7, three animals from each group were sacrificed, and their oral mucosa and small intestine were biopsied and processed for histopathological analysis. Groups G5-FU and G5-FU/PROB showed ulcerated oral lesions at day 3, with progression in group G5-FU and regression in group G5-FU/PROB at day 7. Histologically, less severe signs of inflammation in the oral mucosa were observed in group G5-FU/PROB than in group G5-FU. Regarding the intestine, villus-related defects of lesser magnitude were observed in group G5-FU/PROB, compared with group G5-FU. Group GPROB showed greater villus height than group GC. It can be concluded that probiotic supplementation reduced oral and intestinal inflammation in immunosuppressed rats with experimentally induced mucositis, and may protect the intestine from changes induced by chemotherapy, thus contributing to overall health.

ABSTRACT Certain nodulating nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes and other nodule endophytes perform different plant-growth promoting processes. The objective of this study was to evaluate 26 bacterial strains isolated from cowpea nodules grown in floodplain soils in the Brazilian savannas, regarding performance of plant-growth promoting processes and ability to enhance cowpea growth. We also identified these strains by 16S rRNA sequencing. The following processes were evaluated: free-living biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), solubilization of calcium, aluminum and iron phosphates and production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The abilities to nodulate and promote cowpea growth were evaluated in Leonard jars. Partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene identified 60 % of the strains as belonging to genus Paenibacillus. The following four genera were also identified: Bacillus, Bradyrhizobium, Enterobacter and Pseudomonas. None of the strains fixed N2 free-living. Among the strains, 80 % solubilized Ca phosphate and one solubilized Al phosphate and none solubilized Fe phosphate. The highest IAA concentrations (52.37, 51.52 and 51.00 μg mL−1) were obtained in the 79 medium with tryptophan by Enterobacter strains UFPI B5-7A, UFPI B5-4 and UFPI B5-6, respectively. Only eight strains nodulated cowpea, however, all increased production of total dry matter. The fact that the strains evaluated perform different biological processes to promote plant growth indicates that these strains have potential use in agricultural crops to increase production and environmental sustainability.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar um inventário das assembleias de peixes em pequenos riachos afluentes de grandes reservatórios do alto rio Paraná, em três regiões até então desconhecidas pela literatura. Foram amostrados 117 riachos de 1a a 3a ordens nas bacias dos rios Araguari (na bacia de drenagem do reservatório de Nova Ponte), Paranaíba (reservatório de São Simão) e Grande (reservatório de Volta Grande). No total foram capturados 20.696 exemplares pertencentes a 100 espécies, seis ordens, 20 famílias e 53 gêneros. Destes, 11.530 exemplares e 41 espécies foram registradas na bacia do Araguari, sendo que 17 dessas espécies são exclusivas. Na bacia do rio Grande, foram registrados 3.537 exemplares pertencentes a 41 espécies (11 exclusivas) e na bacia do Paranaíba, foram registrados 5.629 exemplares e 67 espécies (38 exclusivas). A riqueza média por riacho foi de 6.7 para os riachos da bacia do rio Grande, 9.0 para os riachos da bacia do Araguari e 10.9 para os riachos da bacia do rio Paranaíba. As ordens predominantes foram Characiformes, com 48% da riqueza total e Siluriformes, com 36%. Três espécies pertencentes ao grupo scabripinnis foram diagnosticadas como novas: Astyanax sp. 1 (Grande e Paranaíba), Astyanax sp. 2 (Araguari) e Astyanax sp. 3 (Araguari). Outras três foram consideradas como potencialmente novas: Characidium sp. 1, Characidium sp. 2 e Rhamdiopsis sp. Entre todos os registros, oito espécies não são nativas da bacia do Paraná: as exóticas Oreochromis niloticus e Tilapia rendalli e as alóctones Cyphocharax gillii, Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus, Knodus moenkhausii, Poecilia reticulata, Roeboides descalvadensise Trichomycterus brasiliensis. Este estudo preenche parte da lacuna de conhecimento existente sobre peixes de pequenos riachos da bacia do Paraná. Os inventários sobre a fauna de peixes em riachos de pequena ordem são importantes, pois evidenciam a ocorrência de grande diversidade, incluindo um número significativo de espécies ainda não descritas. Dessa forma, esse estudo contribui para um melhor conhecimento da fauna de peixes de riachos pertencentes è bacia do alto rio Paraná, além de colaborar para o estabelecimento de estratégias para conservação deste importante componente da biodiversidade aquática.

This study aimed to conduct an inventory of fish assemblages in small streams that are tributaries of large reservoirs in three previously unstudied regions of the Upper Paraná River basin. We sampled 117 streams from 1st to 3rd order in Araguari (Nova Ponte hydropower plant reservoir), Paranaíba (São Simão reservoir) and Grande (Volta Grande reservoir) drainages. In total, 20,696 specimens belonging to 100 species, 53 genera, 20 families and six orders were collected. Of these, 11,530 specimens and 41 species were recorded in Araguari, whereas 17 were exclusive to this drainage. In Grande drainage, 3,537 individuals belonging to 41 species (11 exclusive) and in Paranaíba, 5,629 specimens and 67 species (38 exclusive) were sampled. The mean richness per stream was 6.7 for Grande, 9.0 for Araguari and 10.9 for Paranaíba drainage. The predominant orders were Characiformes, 48% of the total richness, and Siluriformes, 36%. Three species were diagnosed as new: Astyanax sp. 1 (Grande and Paranaíba), Astyanax sp. 2 and Astyanax sp. 3 (both from Araguari), all from scabripinnis group. Another three were considered potentially new: Characidium sp. 1, Characidium sp. 2 and Rhamdiopsis sp. Among all records, eight species are not native from the Paraná basin: the exotics Oreochromis niloticus and Tilapia rendalli and the allochtonous Cyphocharax gillii, Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus, Knodus moenkhausii, Poecilia reticulata, Roeboides descalvadensis and Trichomycterus brasiliensis. This study fills part of the existing knowledge gap about fish from small streams of the Paraná basin. Inventories of the fish fauna from these low-order water courses are important because they highlight their biodiversity relevance, including a significant number of unknown species. Thus, this study contributes to a better knowledge of the stream fish fauna of the upper Paraná River basin, as well as contribute to the establishment of strategies for conservation of this important component of aquatic biodiversity.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de promoção do crescimento vegetal e a diversidade genética de bactérias isoladas de nódulos de feijão-caupi cultivado em solos do Cerrado piauiense. Avaliaram-se 26 estirpes quanto à capacidade de fixar nitrogênio em vida livre, solubilizar fosfatos inorgânicos, produzir ácido-3-indolacético (AIA) na ausência e na presença do aminoácido triptofano (100 mg L-1), produzir nódulos e promover o crescimento de feijão-caupi em vasos Leonard. Nenhuma estirpe fixou nitrogênio em vida livre, e 69% foram capazes de solubilizar fosfato de cálcio in vitro. Na presença de triptofano, todas as estirpes foram capazes de sintetizar o AIA em meio 79, e 80% sintetizaram o AIA em meio DYGS. Apenas quatro estirpes nodularam o feijão-caupi. O sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA identificou as estirpes nodulíferas como pertencentes aos gêneros Bradyrhizobium, Rhizobium, Bacillus e Paenibacillus. Entre as estirpes não nodulíferas promotoras do crescimento do feijão-caupi, estão os gêneros Bacillus e Paenibacillus.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential for plant growth promotion and the genetic diversity of bacteria isolated from nodules of cowpea grown in Cerrado soils in the state of Piauí, Brazil. Twenty-six strains were evaluated as to their ability to fixate free-living nitrogen, solubilize inorganic phosphates, produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the absence and presence of tryptophan (100 mg L-1), produce nodules, and promote cowpea growth in Leonard jars. No strain was able to fixate free-living nitrogen, and 69% were able to solubilize calcium phosphate in vitro. In the presence of tryptophan, all strains were able to synthesize IAA in the 79 medium, and 80% synthesized IAA in the DYGS medium. Only four strains nodulated cowpea. The sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene identified the nodulating strains as belonging to the genera Bradyrhizobium, Rhizobium, Bacillus, and Paenibacillus. Among the non-nodulating strains able to promote cowpea growth are the genera Bacillus and Paenibacillus.

An integrative literature review was conducted to identify the trends in maternal health from the perspective of social representations. The search occurred within the LILACS, BDENF, SCIELO databases, between the years 2003-2011, with 15 articles selected. After the thematic analyses of the contents of the articles, two dimensions were obtained: sociomaternal dimension and the socio-caring dimension. The sociomaternal dimension considered the social representations of women about pregnancy, prenatal care, normal and cesarean delivery, breastfeeding, and rooming-in. The outcomes revealed the necessity of exploring women's common sense and to integrate them into the scientific approach so that they developed autonomously the care for themselves as well as for their baby. The evidence showed a need for professionals to rethink verbal and non-verbal communication, observing more humane and nurturing attitudes. The socio-caring dimension integrated the social representations about the health care during the prenatal period in nursing consultation; nursing care in the puerperium; nursing care in the puerperal gestational cycle among women, and childbirth care; health care in the Family Health Strategy; integrality and teamwork among professionals. In conclusion, the necessity of broadening the vision of health professionals beyond the biomedical and techno-scientfic approach is essential in order to incorporate health education in health and a biosocial-humanistic approach.

Se llevó a cabo una revisión integradora de la literatura con miras a identificar las tendencias en salud materna desde la perspectiva de las representaciones sociales. La búsqueda se realizó en las bases de datos LILACS, SCIELO BDENF entre 2003-2011; se seleccionaron 15 producciones. Después del análisis del contenido de las producciones se obtuvieron dos dimensiones: la socio-materna y la socio-cuidativa. La dimensión socio-materna consideró las representaciones sociales de las mujeres sobre el embarazo, atención prenatal, parto normal y parto por cesárea, lactancia materna y alojamiento conjunto. Los resultados revelaron la necesidad de explorar el sentido común de las mujeres e integrarlo al científico para que desarrollen con autonomía su propio cuidado y el del bebé. La evidencia demostró que los profesionales deben repensar la comunicación verbal y no verbal, previendo actitudes más humanas y acogedoras. La dimensión socio-cuidativa integró las representaciones sociales sobre el cuidado en salud en la atención prenatal de la consulta de enfermería; atención de enfermería en el post-parto, atención de enfermería durante el embarazo y el parto, atención de la salud en el ESF, integralidad y trabajo en equipo entre los profesionales. Se llega a la conclusión que es necesario ampliar la visión de los profesionales de salud, más allá de la biomédica y técnico-científica, con miras a incorporar la educación para la salud y una visión bio-sociohumanística.

Foi realizada revisão integrativa de literatura com vistas a identificar as tendências em saúde materna na perspectiva das representações sociais. A busca ocorreu nas bases LILACS, BDENF, SCIELO, entre 2003-2011, com seleção de 15 produções. Após análise temática de conteúdo das produções, obtiveram-se duas dimensões: a sociomaterna e a sociocuidativa. A dimensão sociomaterna considerou as representações sociais das mulheres sobre gestação, pré-natal, parto normal e cesáreo, amamentação e alojamento conjunto. Os resultados revelaram a necessidade de se explorar o senso comum das mulheres e integrá-los ao científico para que elas desenvolvam com autonomia o cuidado de si e do bebê. As evidências demonstraram que há necessidade de os profissionais repensarem a comunicação verbal e não verbal, vislumbrando atitudes mais humanas e acolhedoras. A dimensão sociocuidativa integrou as representações sociais sobre o cuidado em saúde no pré-natal na consulta de Enfermagem; cuidado de Enfermagem no puerperio; cuidado em Enfermagem, no ciclo gravídico puerperal entre mulheres e assistência ao parto; cuidado em saúde na ESF; integralidade e trabalho em equipe entre profissionais. Concluiu-se pela necessidade de se ampliar a visão dos profissionais de saúde para além da biomédica e técnico-científica, com vistas a incorporar a educação em saúde e uma visão biossócio-humanista.

INTRODUÇÃO: A fusão da medicina com a informática facilita a recuperação de dados armazenados, favorecendo a realização de pesquisas com maior rigor científico. Estudos na área da Otorrinolaringologia, mais especificamente na área de Laringologia e Voz são de fundamental importância, pois 70% da população economicamente ativa necessitam da voz para trabalhar. OBJETIVO: Criar protocolo informatizado das doenças da laringe, aplicá-lo e validá-lo, avaliar as alterações laringoscópicas em pacientes submetidos à microcirurgia de laringe. MÉTODO: Criou-se uma base de dados de doenças otorrinolaringológicas através da revisão bibliográfica de livros-texto e de artigos científicos. Após, realizou-se a informatização destes dados e a sua incorporação ao SINPE© formando o protocolo mestre (doenças otorrinolaringológicas) e o protocolo específico (doenças laríngeas). Foi realizada coleta de dados prospectivos de pacientes submetidos à microcirurgia de laringe no Hospital Paranaense de Otorrinolaringologia. Os dados coletados foram analisados por meio de gráficos através do módulo SINPE© Analisador. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 245 pacientes, de 9 a 79anos, sendo que 36,61% (93 pacientes) foram submetidos à cirurgia por presença de pólipo nas pregas vocais, 12,6% (32) por papilomatose e 11,83% (29) por cisto intracordal. CONCLUSÕES: A criação de uma base eletrônica de dados clínicos das doenças otorrinolaringológicas foi factível. A implantação e a validação do protocolo foram possíveis. Sua disponibilização pode ser efetuada a médicos envolvidos na coleta de dados clínicos e resgate de informações para realização de trabalhos científicos de forma organizada. As alterações laríngeas mais encontradas foram pólipo, papiloma e cisto intra-cordal.

INTRODUCTION: The merging of medicine with information technology facilitates the retrieval of stored data, aiding the conduct of research with greater scientific rigor. Studies in the field of otorhinolaryngology, specifically in the area of laryngology and voice, are of fundamental importance, since 70% of the economically active need their voice to work. OBJECTIVE: To create a computerized protocol of the diseases of the larynx, apply and validate it, and use it to evaluate patients undergoing laryngoscopic microsurgery of the larynx. METHOD: We created a database of ENT diseases through a literature review of textbooks and scientific articles. Next, we computerized the data and incorporated it into the SINPE©, creating a master protocol (ENT diseases) and a specific protocol (laryngeal diseases). Data were collected prospectively from patients undergoing laryngeal microsurgery in the ENT Hospital of Paraná. The collected data were analyzed with graphs through the SINPE© Analyzer module. RESULTS: We evaluated 245 patients aged 9-79 years, and determined that 36.61% (93 patients) underwent surgery for the presence of polyps on the vocal folds, 12.6% (32) underwent surgery for papillomatosis, and 11.83% (29) underwent surgery for intracordal cysts. CONCLUSIONS: The creation of an electronic database of clinical ENT diseases was feasible. We were also able to implement and validate the protocol. The database may be released to physicians involved in clinical data collection and retrieval of information to conduct scientific research in an organized manner. The most common laryngeal disorders identified were polyps, papilloma, and intracordal cysts.

A espécie Pseudoplusia includens (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), lagarta-falsa-medideira, ataca diversas culturas de importância econômica, causando, na maioria das vezes, prejuízos consideráveis. Foram realizados levantamentos de todas as fases de desenvolvimento do inseto, no período de abril/2009 a abril/2010, em uma cultura de maracujá-azedo, Passifora edulis f. flavicarpa, no município de Linhares-ES, após ter sido constatada sua presença na área. A lagarta foi observada durante os meses de abril a novembro/2009 e de fevereiro a abril/2010, sendo constatados surtos mais severos nos meses de junho, setembro e novembro/2009, atingindo índices de até 80% de folhas danificadas. A planta invasora Solanum americanum (maria-pretinha), associada à cultura, é também hospedeira do inseto. Como inimigos naturais da lagarta, foram constatados o parasitoide Copidosoma truncatellum (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) e o entomopatógeno Baculovirus sp.. Este é o primeiro registro da ocorrência de P. includens na cultura de maracujá-azedo.

The looper caterpillar, Pseudoplusia includens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a pest that attacks many economically important crops, causing, in most cases, considerable damage. Were conducted surveys of all stages of the insect development from April/2009 to April/2010 in a culture of yellow passion fruit, Passiflora f. flavicarpa in Linhares, state of Espirito Santo, after noting its presence in the area. The caterpillar was observed during April to November/2009 and February to April/2010, however, the most severe outbreaks occurred in June, September and November/2009, reaching rates of up to 80% of leaves damaged. The weed Solanum americanum, is also a host of the insect. As natural enemies were observed the parasitoid Copidosoma truncatellum (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and Baculovirus sp. entomopathogen. This is the first record of the occurrence of P. includens in cultivation of yellow passion fruit.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a percepção de executivos jovens e seniores sobre as formas de cada um deles lidar com os impactos das mudanças no atual ambiente de negócios. Como objetivos específicos, esta percepção é analisada em relação a: empregabilidade; remuneração variável; perspectiva da carreira; equilíbrio entre a vida pessoal e profissional; preconceitos relativos ao "jovem" e ao "velho". A pesquisa descritiva que originou este trabalho é rara na literatura, tanto em nível de abrangência quanto de profundidade. A opção metodológica recaiu sobre o método misto quantitativo-qualitativo. A pesquisa quantitativa contou com 959 respondentes, 492 jovens (até 40 anos) e 467 seniores. A pesquisa qualitativa contou com 263 respondentes em 10 grandes empresas de vários setores da economia. O referencial teórico explora as demandas de uma carreira exigente, onde jovens e seniores enfrentam os desafios da lógica da empregabilidade, e buscam um difícil equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional. Os resultados mostram que os jovens estão chegando mais cedo ao topo da carreira. Isso traz tensões: o sênior teme não conseguir sua recolocação no mercado em alguma eventualidade e se sente ameaçado pelo jovem; o jovem se sente inseguro quanto à sua competência, pressionado pelo aumento substancial de expectativas em relação à sua capacidade. As tensões provocadas pela difícil conciliação do trabalho com a família e pelas restrições às perspectivas de crescimento na carreira devido ao enxugamento das estruturas organizacionais, somam-se àquelas relacionadas a valores de gerações diferentes. Este quadro gera, por um lado, conflitos e preconceitos de parte a parte e, por outro, oportunidades de complementaridade. Os executivos jovens estão ainda mais insatisfeitos que os seniores com: remuneração, sobrecarga de trabalho, nível de estresse, nível de cobrança por resultados e a saúde em geral. A maior cobrança familiar que sofre o executivo jovem com filhos pequenos pressiona-o a pelo menos pensar em equilibrar melhor vida profissional e pessoal, enquanto o sênior, muitas vezes com os filhos crescidos, não sofre esta mesma pressão. Os jovens experimentam maiores preconceitos por causa da idade, associada a falta de competência. O conflito é ainda maior em empresas passando por significativas mudanças organizacionais, que são mais da metade das 344 empresas pesquisadas. Os executivos mais velhos se consideram mais leais à empresa comparando-se aos mais jovens. Estes, por sua vez, enxergam os primeiros como mais resistentes às mudanças e mais arraigados a práticas de gestão consideradas por estes como ultrapassadas.

This article aims to discuss the perception of young and senior top executives about the way each one of them deal with the impacts of the changes in business today. As specific goals this perception is discussed as related to: employability; flexible income; career perspectives; personal and professional balance; prejudices related to the elders and to the youth. The descriptive research that originated this paper is rare in this field of study as for its horizontal as for its vertical levels. The methodology is mixed quantitative-qualitative. The quantitative research interviewed 959 top managers, 492 juniors (till 40 years old) and 467 seniors (over 41). The qualitative research interviewed 263 top managers from 10 corporations operating in different sectors of the economy. The theoretical framework explores the pleas of a career that is more and more exigent and in where junior and seniors managers face the challenges brought by the logic of the auto employability and search for a better work-family balance. Results show that junior managers are reaching the top earlier than before. This brings tensions in two directions: the senior is afraid of not being able to find a similar job in a new corporation in any eventuality and feels more threatened by the young than before; the junior feels insecure as to his competence and feels himself pressed due to the substantial amount of expectations related to his capacity. Tensions provoked by the difficulties to balance work and family as well as barriers to career ascension (due to downsizing) ad to tensions related to different generations values. This situation generates lots of conflicts and prejudices from both, seniors and juniors. If juniors and seniors are both dissatisfied with this context the juniors are even more dissatisfied than the seniors with income, overwork, level of stress, health in general and the level of exigencies. Family pressures to balance work and family tend to be stronger for juniors parenting young children than for seniors with adult sons. Juniors experience more prejudice because of the dissociation between youth and competence. Conflict is still bigger in more than half of the 344 corporations we researched that are being restructured. Seniors consider themselves more loyal to the firm comparing to juniors. Juniors, by their turn, see seniors as more resistant to changes and more attached to management practices considered by them as surpassed.
