ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

O toque afetivo na visão do enfermeiro La concepción del enfermero sobre el tacto afectivo Affective touch according the nurse's perspective

Este trabalho objetivou investigar a concepção do enfermeiro sobre o toque afetivo como ferramenta da promoção de cuidado e identificar o seu significado no cuidado de enfermagem e o momento onde ele é utilizado como instrumento de cuidado. Pesquisa qualitativa diferenciando duas maneiras de tocar: toque instrumental (cuidado objetivo) e o toque afetivo (cuidado subjetivo). Na coleta de dados, utilizou-se entrevista semi-estruturada, com sete enfermeiras assistenciais de dois hospitais de médio porte de uma cidade da Regiâo Sul do Brasil. Através da análise dos dados demonstrou-se a utilização do toque afetivo restritamente, durante os procedimentos invasivos, mesmo considerando-o efetivo instrumento para estabelecer empatia.Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo investigar la concepción del enfermero universitário sobre el toque afectivo como herramienta de promoción del cuidado e identificar su significado en el cuidado de enfermería y el momento en lo cual es utilizado como instrumiento de cuidado. Investigación cualitativa diferenciando dos maneras de tocar; toque instrumental (cuidado objetivo) y el toque afectivo (cuidado subjetivo). Para la recolección de datos se utilizó la entrevista semi-estructurada, con siete enfermeras asistenciales de dos hospitales de mediano porte en el sur del brasil. A través del análisis de los resultados se demonstró la utilización del toque afectivo restrictamente, durante los procedimientos invasivos, mismo considerandolo efectivo el instrumento para establecer empatia.This study aimed at investigating the conception of nurses about the affective touch as a tool for care promotion and to identify its meanings in nursing care and the moment when it is used as care instrument. Qualitative research differentiating two ways to touch: instrumental touch (objective care) and the affective touch (subjective care). For data collection a semi-structured interview was used, with three assistance nurses of two hospitals in the South Region of Brazil. Through data analysis, the affective touch was demonstrated to be restrictedly, during the invasive procedures, in despite considering it effective instrument to establish empathy
