Inclusão escolar de alunos portadores de Transtorno do Espectro Autista na educação infantil: uma revisão sistemática: School inclusion of students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder in early childhood education: a systematic review

Este artigo debate o problema da inclusão escolar de crianças com transtorno do espectro autista (TEA). Para estabelecer o debate, foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico e referencial para uma revisão sistemática do tema. O objetivo é clarificar os conceitos de inclusão escolar e TEA para debater como é feito o processo educacional de crianças com TEA. Sendo assim, a partir da pesquisa científica de descritores como “inclusão escolar”, “transtorno do espectro autista”, foi observado, pelos diversos autores trabalhados, que ainda há muito o que se debater e trabalhar para que ocorra a inclusão escolar de crianças com TEA. Apesar das muitas tentativas, erros e acertos, o tema ainda é pouco trabalhado e divulgado, visto que há poucos profissionais capacitados na área

Avaliação da perda de inserção dentária em pacientes com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise

A doença renal crônica (DRC) é uma síndrome clínica decorrente da perda lenta, progressiva e irreversível da taxa de filtração glomerular. A DRC pode apresentar várias manifestações bucais, como xerostomia, estomatite urêmica e periodontite, diagnosticada por meio da perda de inserção clínica (PIC). Foram avaliados 92 indivíduos em tratamento de hemodiálise na Clínica de Hemodiálise Prontorim, na cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará. O exame periodontal foi realizado por meio da mensuração da PIC e apenas 34 pacientes (37%) estavam aptos a realizar exame periodontal. A perda de inserção por indivíduo registrada no grupo de dentados ficou entre 1,31 e 5,27 mm, com média de 2,30 ± 0,96 mm. Dezoito pacientes (52,9%) apresentaram PIC menor que 2 mm, enquanto 16 (47,1%) mostraram-se portadores de periodontite. A perda dentária e a presença de considerável perda de inserção foram observadas neste estudo. Contudo, fatores como status social devem ser considerados em futuras investigações

Treatment of liquid waste produced in a small chemical laboratory using the photo-fenton process

The photo-Fenton process, an advanced oxidative process (AOP), is a promising method for the treatment of liquid effluents. The aim of this work was to investigate the photo-Fenton process for the treatment of a liquid waste produced in a chemical laboratory at the Technology Faculty (State University of Amazonas, UEA). The effluent was initially characterised for its colour, COD, total phenols and UV/VIS absorptivity. Later, the influence of Fe2+ and H2O2 was investigated for the reduction of colour and total phenol through a 22 factorial experiment arranged in a star. The characterised liquid residue presented high values for colour (2462.1 UC), phenols (90.96 mg/L) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (977.7 mg O2/L) and, thus is potentially dangerous for the environment. The considered statistical models were in good agreement with the experimental results. The best theoretical conditions were 0.75 g/L of Fe+2 and 16.03 g/L of H2O2 for colour reduction (99.6%) and 0.59 g/L of Fe+2 and 29.4 g/L of H2O2 for total phenol reduction (81.2%)

Effects of Gold Salt Speciation and Structure of Human and Bovine Serum Albumin on the Synthesis and Stability of Gold Nanostructures

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of albumin structure and gold speciation on the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The strategy of synthesis was the addition of HAuCl4 solutions at different pH values (3-12) to solutions of human and bovine serum albumins (HSA and BSA) at the same corresponding pH values. Different pH values influence the GNP synthesis due to gold speciation. Besides the inherent effect of pH on the native structure of albumins, the use N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-treated and heat-denaturated forms of HSA and BSA provided additional insights about the influence of protein structure, net charge, and thiol group approachability on the GNP synthesis. NEM treatment, heating, and the extreme values of pH promoted loss of the native albumin structure. The formation of GNPs indicated by the appearance of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands became detectable from fifteen days of the synthesis processes that were carried out with native, NEM-treated and heat-denaturated forms of HSA and BSA, exclusively at pH 6 and 7. After two months of incubation, SPR band was also detected for all synthesis carried out at pH 8.0. The mean values of the hydrodynamic radius (RH) were 24 and 34 nm for GNPs synthesized with native HSA and BSA, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed crystallites of 13 nm. RH, XRD, and zeta potential values were consistent with GNP capping by the albumins. However, the GNPs produced with NEM-treated and heat-denaturated albumins exhibited loss of protein capping by lowering the ionic strength. This result suggests a significant contribution of non-electrostatic interactions of albumins with the GNP surface, in these conditions. The denaturation of proteins exposes hydrophobic groups to the solvent, and these groups could interact with the gold surface. In these conditions, the thiol blockage or oxidation, the latter probably favored upon heating, impaired the formation of a stable capping by thiol coordination with the gold surface. Therefore, the cysteine side chain of albumins is important for the colloidal stabilization of GNPs rather than as the reducing agent for the synthesis. Despite the presence of more reactive gold species at more acidic pH values, i.e., belo

Prevalence evolution of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the city of São Paulo, 2020–2021

OBJECTIVE To estimate the evolution of the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection among residents aged 18 years or over in the municipality of São Paulo. METHODS This is a population-based household survey conducted every 15 days, between June and September 2020, and January and February 2021. In total, the study comprised 11 phases. The presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 was identified in venous blood using a lateral flow test, Wondfo Biotech. In the last phase, the researchers combined it with an immunoenzymatic test, Euroimmun. The participants also answered a semi-structured questionnaire on sociodemographic and economic factors, and on social distancing measures. Prevalence estimates and the 95% confidence interval were estimated according to regions, Human Development Index, sex, age group, ethnicity, education, income, and variables associated with risk or prevention of infection. To compare the frequencies among the categories of each variable, the chi-square test with Rao-Scott correction was used, considering a significance level of 5%. RESULTS In total, 23,397 individuals were interviewed and had their samples collected. The estimated prevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 ranged from 9.7% (95%CI: 7.9–11.8%) to 25.0% (95%CI: 21.7–28.7). The prevalence of individuals with antibodies against the virus was higher among black and brown people, people with lower schooling and income, and among residents of regions with lower Human Development Index. The lowest prevalences were associated with recommended measures of disease protection. The proportion of asymptomatic infection was 45.1%. CONCLUSION The estimated prevalence of the infection was lower than the cumulative incidence variation, except for the last phase of the study. The differences in prevalence estimates observed among subpopulations showed social inequality as a risk of infection. The lower prevalence observed among those who could follow prevention measures reinforce the need to maintain social distancing measures as a way to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.
