IMPACTOS DO APOIO FAMILIAR FRENTE A GESTAÇÃO NA ADOLESCÊNCIA

OBJECTIVES:  To elucidate the impacts caused by family support during adolescent pregnancy. METHODS: The present work consists of an integrative literature review, using the PICO strategy, with “p” population: pregnant adolescents, “I” Evaluation of the influence of family support through a teenage pregnancy, the “C” and “O” Context: impact of family support during the pregnancy of a teenager. The filter used for the searches was with the descriptors; (Teenage pregnancy) AND (Family Support) AND (Prenatal care). RESULTS: The final sample consisted of 7 studies that resulted in three topics for discussion: Failures in the professional approach during prenatal care; Importance of professional encouragement for the presence of the support network during prenatal consultations; Adolescents' feelings and difficulties due to the absence of family support. CONCLUSION:It was possible to conclude that family support has a great influence on the care of the adolescent during pregnancy, being a source of emotional and financial support, as well as in daily activities, taking into account the need for this family to be aware of the care that the pregnant women need to take to continue the pregnancy in the healthiest way possible.OBJETIVO: Elucidar os impactos causados pelo apoio familiar durante a gestação da adolescente. MÉTODO: O presente trabalho consiste em uma revisão de literatura integrativa, utilizada a estratégia PICO, sendo “p” população: adolescentes gestantes ,“I” Avaliação da influência do apoio familiar mediante uma gestação na adolescência, o “C” e “O” Contexto: impacto do apoio familiar durante a gestação de uma adolescente. O filtro utilizado para as buscas foram com os descritores; (Gravidez na adolescência) AND (Apoio Familiar ) AND (Cuidado pré-natal). RESULTADOS: A amostra final foi constituída por 7 estudos que resultaram em dois tópicos para discussão: Falhas na abordagem profissional durante a atenção pré-natal; Sentimentos e dificuldade das adolescentes mediante a ausência do apoio familiar. CONCLUSÃO: Foi possível concluir que o apoio familiar tem uma grande influência no cuidado da adolescente no momento da gestação, sendo uma fonte de apoio emocional, financeira, tal qual nas atividades diárias, levando em consideração a necessidade desta família estar ciente dos cuidados que a gestante precisa tomar para dá continuidade a gestação da forma mais saudável possível

Os fatores determinantes e as complicações oriundas do crescimento fetal restrito: Determining factors and complications arising from restricted fetal growth

O feto portador de restrição do crescimento fetal intra-uterino evolui sem alcançar o seu potencial genético de crescimento. Destacando, que o Crescimento Intra-Uterino Restrito (CIUR) condiz a um complexo heterogêneo, caracterizado pela maioria ser de fetos biologicamente pequenos, mas não se encaixam na condição patológica, a qual urge por monitoramento. Neste contexto, pode estar ou não relacionado a inúmeras doenças a qual necessitam ser diagnosticadas. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os fatores relacionados na etiologia e das complicações da restrição do crescimento intra-uterino. As informações existentes na literatura evidenciam a existência de vários desencadeantes nesta ocorrência, a qual abordam a associação de fatores maternos, placentários e fetais. Os distintos grupos possivelmente podem coexistir de modo simultâneo, sendo parte destes passíveis de prevenção

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

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. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data

Neotropical freshwater fisheries : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change. There are no copyright restrictions on the data, and please cite this data paper when using the data in publications

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
