Genetic diversity in Hucul and Polish primitive horse breeds

Pedigree and molecular data were used to evaluate genetic diversity in the Polish populations of the Polish primitive horse (also known as Polish Konik) and Hucul breeds over the time period of 30 years (1980– 2011). Based on genotypes in 12 microsatellite loci (for 3865 Polish primitive horses and 1627 Huculs), as well as on pedigree data derived from over 7000 individuals (both breeds), several indices describing structure of the analysed populations were estimated. For both analysed breeds, we observed an increasing trend of inbreeding since 1980 which seems to be much more stable (oscillating around 10% in the Polish primitive horse and 5% in Hucul) since the beginning of 2000s when they were included in conservation programs in Poland. We observed that generally, indices related to genetic diversity are higher in the Hucul breed. Our study indicated that genetic diversity in the Polish primitive horse and Hucul breeds in Poland is still relatively high and conservation programs should be continued to keep it on the “safe” level in the future

Caracterização da diversidade genética da Coleção Nuclear de Feijão da Embrapa.

Este trabalho teve como principais objetivos a caracterização molecular da CONFE (cada acesso representado por dois bulks de cinco plantas) e a determinação de sua estrutura populacional.Pôster - graduação

Caracterização genética da coleção nuclear de feijão da Embrapa pelo uso de marcadores SSR.

O Objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar molecularmente a Coleção Nuclear de feijão da Embrapa (constituída por 580acessos). A utilização de marcadores microssatélites permitiu a determinação da relação genética entre os acessos, a variabilidade genética existente dentro de cada acesso, aspecto este relevante como etapa inicial da avaliação de uma coleção nuclear

Caracterização molecular dos acessos componentes da coleção nuclear de feijão da Embrapa utilizando marcadores microssatélites.

Clinical Psychology and the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mixed Methods Survey Among Members of the European Association of Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment (EACLIPT)

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people globally both physically and psychologically. The increased demands for mental health interventions provided by clinical psychologists, psychotherapists and mental health care professionals, as well as the rapid change in work setting (e.g., from face-to-face to video therapy) has proven challenging. The current study investigates European clinical psychologists and psychotherapists' views on the changes and impact on mental health care that occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It further aims to explore individual and organizational processes that assist clinical psychologists' and psychotherapists' in their new working conditions, and understand their needs and priorities. Method: Members of the European Association of Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment (EACLIPT) were invited (N = 698) to participate in a survey with closed and open questions covering their experiences during the first wave of the pandemic from June to September 2020. Participants (n = 92) from 19 European countries, mostly employed in universities or hospitals, completed the online survey. Results: Results of qualitative and quantitative analyses showed that clinical psychologists and psychotherapists throughout the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic managed to continue to provide treatments for patients who were experiencing emotional distress. The challenges (e.g., maintaining a working relationship through video treatment) and opportunities (e.g., more flexibleflexibleflexibleworking hours) of working through this time were identified. Conclusions: Recommendations for mental health policies and professional organizations are identified, such as clear guidelines regarding data security and workshops on conducting video therapy
