Toponímia religiosa em Minas Gerais: os nomes dos municípios / Minas Gerais religious toponymy: the names of municipalities

Resumo: Adotando os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Toponímia, este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar um estudo toponímico dos 853 nomes de municípios de Minas Gerais, dos quais, sincronicamente, 103 – ou 12% do total – são nomes relativos à Nossa Senhora e aos santos e santas da Igreja Católica. Diacronicamente, entretanto, outros 329 municípios – 38,6% – já tiveram, ao longo de sua história, designações toponímicas dessa mesma natureza; alguns deles com mais de uma denominação como é o caso do município de Água Boa cujos topônimos anteriores já foram São José da Água Boa e Santana da Água Boa. Verificou-se, então, que os motivos para escolha do nome de um munícipio – acidente urbano –, além de observar legislação específica, pauta-se pela subjetividade coletiva e, muitas vezes, também por interesses políticos. Assim, muitos topônimos referentes aos municípios mineiros foram substituídos com o passar do tempo, sobretudo no que concerne aos mariotopônimos. Esses topônimos, no entanto, pelas reduções referentes aos títulos que acompanham a expressão Nossa Senhora, deixaram vestígios de sua origem religiosa em todo o território mineiro, o que pode ser observado pela quantidade considerável de denominações toponímicas atuais constituídas a partir dos determinantes Carmo, Conceição e Dores, por exemplo. Palavras-chave: léxico; cultura; toponímia religiosa; Minas Gerais; municípios. Abstract: Based on Toponymy theoretical and methodological assumptions, this paper aims to present a toponymic study of the 853 names of Minas Gerais municipalities, of which, synchronously, 103 - or 12% of the total - are names related to the Holy Mother (Virgin Mary) and the female and male saints of the Catholic Church. Diachronically, however, another 329 municipalities – 38,6% – have had toponymic names of this same nature throughout their history; some of them with more than one denomination as, for example, the municipality of Água Boa whose previous toponyms have been São José da Água Boa (Saint Joseph of Água Boa) and Santana da Água Boa (Saint Anne of Água Boa). It was verified, then, that the reasons for choosing the name of a municipality – an urban accident –, besides observation of specific legislations, are guided by collective subjectivity and, many times, also by political interests. Thus, many toponyms referring to the Minas Gerais municipalities have been replaced with time, especially in what mariotopônimos (names based on the names for the Virgin Mary) are concerned. These toponyms, however, due to the reductions referring to the titles that accompany the expression Holy Mother / Our Lady, left traces of their religious origin throughout all of the territory of Minas Gerais; this can be observed by the considerable amount of current toponymic denominations constituted from the determinants Carmo (Carmel), Conceição (Conception) and Dores (Sorrows), for example. Keywords: lexicon; culture; religious toponymy; Minas Gerais; municipalities

Effect of storage conditions on the physical properties of coffee beans with different qualities

The quality of coffee starts in the field, and goes through the harvesting and post-harvesting processes, and continues to storage and transportation. The storage of coffee beans aims to stock a product for a certain period of time. However, factors such as quality and metabolism of the grain, water content, environmental conditions of the warehouse, type of packaging, and storage time influence the maintenance of these characteristics, and may negatively affect sensory aspects of the beverage. The use of high-barrier packaging or refrigerated storage practices are alternatives that can ensure grain quality during storage. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the behavior of raw coffee beans, of different processing and quality levels, packed in impermeable packages and stored in a refrigerated environment. The specialty coffees were previously sampled and characterized as to the drink, with two lots (one of natural coffee and the other of pulped natural coffee) evaluated with a score of 82 points, and another lot of natural coffee evaluated with a score of 84 points. They were packed in two types of packaging: moisture and gas permeable, and gas, moisture, and light impermeable. The beans were stored in ambient conditions without temperature control and in refrigerated environments. The CO2 concentration inside the packaging was measured, and the physical analyses – water content, color, and apparent specific mass – were performed. According to the results there is less variation in the water content and coloration of the grains stored in high barrier packages. The storage of the beans in refrigerated condition and in high barrier packing is efficient in the retarding of the loss of quality of the coffees during the nine months of the experimen

PROFILE OF ORGANIC ACIDS AND BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS IN THE SENSORY QUALITY DISCRIMINATION OF ARABICA COFFEE

This study was conducted to investigate the potential of organic acids and bioactive compounds present in rawbeans to differentiate the sensory quality of coffee from different genotypes and processing methods. During the 2010, 2011 and 2012 crop seasons, beverage quality was analyzed, as well as the profile of organic acids and bioactive compounds caffeine, trigonelline and chlorogenic acids (3,4 and 5-CQA) in raw coffee beans from genotypes Bourbon Amarelo and Acaiá. The samples were collected in commercial fields with altitudes ranging from 932 to 1391 m, in the municipality of Carmo de Minas, MG, Brazil. Two processing methods were adopted: dry process (natural) and wet process (mechanically pulped and demucilaged coffee). All harvest and post-harvest procedures were carried out according to the main technologies for the production of specialty coffees. The sensory analysis was performed using the methodology proposed by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). Chemical analyses were performed by High performance liquid chromatography. Data were investigated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The variations in the contents of organic acids and bioactive compounds were due to the coffee processing method. For genotypes Bourbon Amarelo and Acaiá, the differences in the organic acid profile, associated with caffeine, trigonelline and chlorogenic acids (3,4 and 5-CQA), were essential to differentiate the quality of mechanically pulped and demucilaged coffee. No significant differences were observed in the sensory quality of natural coffee due to the analysis of organic acids and bioactive compounds.This study was conducted to investigate the potential of organic acids and bioactive compounds present in rawbeans to differentiate the sensory quality of coffee from different genotypes and processing methods.

Disease-related malnutrition and its repercussions in Portugal

A malnutrição associada à doença é frequente do ponto de vista clínico, apresentando elevada morbilidade, mortalidade e impacto na qualidade de vida, em especialidades como a medicina interna, a oncologia, a neurologia, a gastroenterologia e a pediatria, entre outras. Estudos realizados em Portugal estimam existirem cerca de 40% de doentes em risco nutricional à data da admissão hospitalar, dependendo do estadio da doença e do grau/severidade. O custo da hospitalização destes doentes, é cerca de 20% superior ao dos doentes com o mesmo grupo de diagnóstico homogéneo, mas sem risco nutricional associado. No nosso país, o acesso dos doentes malnutridos a avaliação, aconselhamento e tratamento nutricional adequados ainda é limitado, mesmo em ambiente hospitalar. Um conhecimento detalhado da malnutrição associada à doença nas referidas especialidades, permitiria uma melhor caracterização da situação em Portugal, e permitiria estabelecer uma estratégia de intervenção clínica e terapêutica, para melhorar este panorama e as suas consequências no nosso país.ABSTRACT - Disease-related malnutrition is clinically common, with high morbidity, mortality, and quality of life impact in medical specialties like internal medicine, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology, and pediatrics, among others. Studies in Portugal have estimated that about 40% of patients are at nutritional risk at hospital admission, depending on disease condition and stage/severity. The hospitalization costs for treating these patients is in average 20% higher than the respective, not at risk diagnosis-related group. The access to an adequate evaluation, counseling and nutritional treatment for malnourished patients is still limited in our country, even in the hospital setting. Detailed knowledge of disease-related malnutrition in the above mentioned medical specialties would allow to better characterize the situation in Portugal, to establish clinical and therapeutic intervention plans in order to improve the situation and consequences in our country.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Perfil e percepção das puérperas em relação ao trabalho de parto humanizado / Profile and perception of puerperal women in relation to humanized labor

Introdução: A gravidez é um momento diferenciado na vida da mulher, uma vez que é um momento que concerne diversas opções e dúvidas. Assim, é essencial à participação de uma assistência humanizada a fim proporcionar todo o apoio necessário ao parto. Objetivo: Analisar o perfil e a percepção das puérperas assistidas em maternidade de referência no nordeste brasileiro sobre a humanização no parto. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e analítico de natureza quantitativa realizado em uma maternidade pública de Fortaleza. A população estudada foi composta por puérperas com idade igual ou superior a 14 anos com as quais foi aplicado um questionário. Resultados: A maioria (79%) das participantes deste estudo era parda, e 55% possuíam idade entre 21 e 30 anos. Quase metade das participantes (47%) tinha união estável e 48% tinha como ocupação principal as atividades do lar, relacionado à escolaridade, 40% delas possuíam ensino médio incompleto. Os resultados revelaram a importância do acompanhante e a utilização das técnicas não farmacológicas para alívio da dor. A maioria das participantes considerou desnecessárias intervenções como a manobra de Kristeller, episitomia e a manutenção de jejum forçado. Considerações finais: Este estudo permitiu identificar o perfil das puérperas em atendimento na maternidade estudada além de evidenciar uma lacuna em relação a orientações recebidas por estas desde o pré-natal até o momento do parto. Acredita-se que se as orientações fossem oferecidas em cada etapa do ciclo gravídico, as mulheres chegariam com mais segurança e empoderadas nas maternidades

O uso de termografia clínica como método auxiliar no diagnóstico de Herpes-Zóster: relato de caso / The use of clinical thermography as an auxiliary method in the diagnosis of Herpes-Zoster: case report

Introdução: A Varicela é causada pelo vírus varicela-zóster, que persiste no indivíduo após infecção primária. A reativação do vírus nos gânglios dorsais ou cranianos provoca Herpes-Zóster, caracterizada por erupções cutâneas vesiculares envolvendo dermátomos. A termografia por infravermelho é capaz de medir a radiação infravermelha emitida pelo corpo, e pode ser utilizada como auxílio diagnóstico de processos inflamatórios e neuropatias. Relato do caso: Paciente do gênero feminino, feoderma, 52 anos de idade, compareceu a clínica odontológica do IPSEMG, com queixa de dor intensa, supondo estar associada a uma restauração realizada há um mês. Foram realizadas radiografias periapicais e interproximais, não constatando anormalidades. Assim, a paciente foi encaminhada a uma especialista em Disfunção Temporomandibular e Dor Orofacial (DTM) que observou crostas na hemiface esquerda, que respeitavam a linha média. A dor era 10 em uma Escala Visual Analógica (EVA). Foi feito um termograma que, junto aos achados clínicos, possibilitou constatar uma considerável assimetria térmica entre as hemifaces, o que auxiliou o fechamento do diagnóstico de Herpes-Zóster. O tratamento consistiu na prescrição de antiviral Penvir e analgésico Revenge, havendo remissão da dor em 10 dias. Considerações finais: A termografia pode auxiliar o dentista a identificar precocemente anormalidades e documentar por imagem infravermelha a melhora dos tecidos acometidos, possibilitando o correto diagnóstico e tratamento adequado

Role of dental clinical and imaging exam during McCune Albright Syndrome diagnosis process: Case Report/ Importância do exame clínico e imaginológico odontológico durante o processo diagnóstico da Síndrome de McCune Albright: Relato de Caso

McCune Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a rare disease characterized by the classic triad of early puberty that begins in the embryonic period and mainly affects women. The present study aims to report the case of a 27-year-old patient, melanodermic, referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery service of the Walter Cantídio University Hospital, complaining of pain in the right mandibular body region. During the anamnesis, the patient reported having had her menarche at the age of 6. Clinically, it was observed body asymmetry, prominence of the right zygomatic, frontal and parietal bones, and expansion of the right hemimandible. Panoramic radiography showed images with ground-glass appearance in the region of the direct hemi-mandible with mixed radiopacity and root resorption, suggestive of MAS. The patient was referred to the gynecologist and endocrinologist, and it was observed that the patient had the presence of cyst in the right ovary. Incisional biopsy was performed on the right maxilla, which showed histopathological characteristics compatible with fibrous dysplasia, with final diagnosis of MAS.  In summary, the present study reinforces the importance of a meticulous and interdisciplinary clinical examination allied to the patient's complaint in order to establish an adequate treatment pla

Identification of clusters of asthma control: A preliminary analysis of the inspirers studies

This work was funded by ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) through the operations: POCI- -01-0145-FEDER-029130 (“mINSPIRERS—mHealth to measure and improve adherence to medication in chronic obstructive respiratory diseases - generalisation and evaluation of gamification, peer support and advanced image processing technologies”) co-funded by the COMPETE2020 (Programa Operacional Competitividade e Internacionalização), Portugal 2020 and by Portuguese Funds through FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia).© 2020, Sociedade Portuguesa de Alergologia e Imunologia Clinica. All rights reserved. Aims: To identify distinct asthma control clusters based on Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) and to compare patients’ characteristics among these clusters. Methods: Adults and adolescents (≥13 years) with persistent asthma were recruited at 29 Portuguese hospital outpatient clinics, in the context of two observational studies of the INSPIRERS project. Demographic and clinical characteristics, adherence to inhaled medication, beliefs about inhaled medication, anxiety and depression, quality of life, and asthma control (CARAT, >24 good control) were collected. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed using CARAT total score (CARAT-T). Results: 410 patients (68% adults), with a median (percentile 25–percentile 75) age of 28 (16-46) years, were analysed. Three clusters were identified [mean CARAT-T (min-max)]: cluster 1 [27(24-30)], cluster 2 [19(14-23)] and cluster 3 [10(2-13)]. Patients in cluster 1 (34%) were characterised by better asthma control, better quality of life, higher inhaler adherence and use of a single inhaler. Patients in clusters 2 (50%) and 3 (16%) had uncontrolled asthma, lower inhaler adherence, more symptoms of anxiety and depression and more than half had at least one exacerbation in the previous year. Further-more, patients in cluster 3 were predominantly female, had more unscheduled medical visits and more anxiety symp-toms, perceived a higher necessity of their prescribed inhalers but also higher levels of concern about taking these inhalers. There were no differences in age, body mass index, lung function, smoking status, hospital admissions or specialist physician follow-up time among the three clusters. Conclusion: An unsupervised method based on CARAT--T, identified 3 clusters of patients with distinct, clinically meaningful characteristics. The cluster with better asthma control had a cut-off similar to the established in the validation study of CARAT and an additional cut-off seems to distinguish more severe disease. Further research is necessary to validate the asthma control clusters identified.publishersversionpublishe
