Pega Leve - saúde mental do estudante universitário : um relato de experiência

A saúde mental no ambiente universitário envolve diversos fatores pessoais, institucionais e ambientais em uma etapa de transição do ciclo vital dos estudantes, o que pode torná-los mais vulneráveis ao início, agravamento ou perpetuação de transtornos mentais comuns. Somado a isso, as buscas por ajuda e tratamento adequado nessa população são insuficientes, principalmente devido às barreiras atitudinais como o estigma e estratégias de coping disfuncionais, o que propicia desfechos piores. Dessa forma, o projeto de extensão “Pega Leve – saúde mental do estudante universitário”, intervenção baseada em treinamento de gatekeepers entre os próprios estudantes se apresenta como uma potencial ferramenta de promoção e prevenção em saúde mental nessa população, permitindo a criação de redes de apoio, identificação precoce dos casos de risco e encaminhamento adequado para serviço de saúde mental. Durante os anos de 2018 e 2019, foram mais de setecentas pessoas atingidas pelas ações promovidas pelo Pega Leve e três turmas de gatekeepers formadas segundo o protocolo inédito desenvolvido para o projeto, resultando subjetivamente em uma maior percepção de engajamento e apoio social e colocando o estudante como agente ativo de promoção de saúde mental nos diversos microambientes compreendidos pela Universidade.Mental health in the university setting involves a variety of personal, institutional, and environmental factors at a transitional stage in the students' life cycle, which may make them more vulnerable to the onset, aggravation, or perpetuation of common mental disorders. In addition, the search for help and adequate treatment in this populationis insufficient, mainly due to attitudinal barriers such as stigma and dysfunctional coping strategies, which provides worse outcomes. Thus, the extension project “Pega Leve -college students’ mental health”, an intervention based onpsychoeducation andgatekeeper training among peers, presents itself as a potential tool for the promotion and prevention of mental health in this population, allowing the creation of support networks, early identification of risk cases and appropriate referral to mental health services. During 2018 and 2019, more than seven hundred people were affected by thepsychoeducationsactions promoted by Pega Leve, subjectively resulting in a greater perception of engagement and social support and placing the student as an active mental health promotion agent in the various microenvironments comprised by the University.La santé mentale en milieu universitaire implique une variété de facteurs personnels, institutionnels et environnementaux à un stade transitoire du cycle de vie des étudiants, ce qui peut les rendre plus vulnérables au début, à l'aggravation ou à la perpétuation de troubles mentaux courants.

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

Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences

The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a–b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016

Efeito de fontes de matéria orgânica sobre a ferrugem em mudas de cafeeiro

A geração de resíduos urbanos aumenta com o passar dos anos e graves problemas de impactos ambientais ocorrem devido ao seu inadequado tratamento e disposição final. A utilização de resíduos urbanos na agricultura destaca-se como uma alternativa viável e por conterem matéria orgânica podem colaborar tanto no controle de doenças da parte aérea das plantas, por indução de resistência sistêmica, como induzir a supressividade aos patógenos habitantes do solo. O crescimento da agricultura orgânica também demanda informações sobre os efeitos de matéria orgânica sobre as doenças de plantas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da incorporação de algumas fontes de matéria orgânica ao solo na indução da resistência sistêmica à Ferrugem em mudas de cafeeiro. Os efeitos da incorporação das fontes de matéria orgânica foram avaliados sobre o comportamento das mudas (altura; teor de nitrogênio total foliar; e porcentagem de folhas lesionadas, número de lesões por folha lesionada e esporulação de lesões da Ferrugem), das propriedades químicas do substrato (pH e condutividade elétrica) e da atividade microbiana do substrato (hidrólise do diacetato de fluoresceína – FDA). A indução de resistência sistêmica à Ferrugam foi estudada bioquimicamente por meio da atividade da peroxidase e da polifenoloxidase em tecido foliar de plantas desenvolvidas em substratos com o lodo de esgoto e com o composto de lixo em condições de casa de vegetação. As fontes de matéria orgânica foram o lodo de esgoto, o composto de lixo urbano, a cama de aves e os estercos de suíno, de bovino e de ovino. As fontes de matérias orgânicas incorporadas ao substrato aumentaram o teor de nitrogênio foliar total e não induziram a resistência sistêmica à Ferrugem do cafeeiro. As outras variáveis estudadas tiveram... .The urban wastes production increases with the years and environmental impacts occur due to its inadequate treatment and final disposition. The standardized utilization of urban wastes in agriculture stand out as a viable alternative, apart from organic matters applied in the soil may control foliar diseases of plants for induction of systemic resistance and induction of supressiviness to soil pathogens. Also, the increase of organic agriculture requests information about the effects of organic materials in plant disease. The objective of this work was to evaluate possible effects of organic materials in the systemic resistance induction for coffee orange rust in seedlings. The effects of incorporating the organic matter sources into soil were evaluated over the conduct of seedlings (plant height; foliar total nitrogen; and infected leaves percentage by plant, number of lesions by lesioned leaf and lesions esporulation of rust), chemical properties of substrate (pH and eletrical conductivity) and of substrate microbial activity (fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis – FDA). The systemic resistance induction to coffee orange rust was studied by through biochemical assay of activity of peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase in the foliar tissue of the plants developed in the sewage sludge and with waste compost in greenhouse conditions. The organic matter sources were sewage sludge, waste compost, swine, bovine, sheep manures and the chicken litter. The organic matter sources were incorporated to substrate increased the foliar total nitrogen and didn’t affect the systemic resistance induction for coffee orange rust. The other variables studied had distinct conducts according to the type and concentration of the organic matter sources. The sewage sludge and waste compost interfere in the primary and secundary metabolisms of the plants modifying the activity of the peroxidade and polyphenoloxidase indicating the participation in the resistance to the disease.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP

Essential oils and thermal treatment in the postharvest control of green mold in orange

<p></p><p>ABSTRACT Green mold is the primary postharvest disease of citrus fruits. Alternative products and processes for plant disease control have been increasingly required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of essential oils on P. digitatum in oranges, alone or in combination with thermal treatment. Thus, an isolate of the fungus was subjected, in vitro, to different concentrations of oils of cinnamon, lemongrass and palmarose, in PDA culture medium; the antifungal activity of the volatile compounds of oils was also evaluated. Furthermore, a study was conducted to verify the effect of oils on inoculated oranges, in a protective and curative mode. Oranges were inoculated with 10 uL conidial suspension (105 conidia mL-1), two incubation periods (4 h before or 24 h after treatments). The treatments with essential oils that were sprayed were: control, cinnamon, lemongrass and palmarose, at 0.5 and 1.0 g L-1, plus Tween20. Another test with cinnamon oil, to determine the best dose, was conducted by using 0.0; 0.12; 0.25; 0.5 and 1.0 g L-1 and a blend of cinnamon (0.12 g L-1) and lemongrass (0.12 g L-1). Storage was at 25 °C and 80% relative humidity (RH) for up to 6 days. Subsequently, a test was conducted in oranges inoculated 4 h before treatments: control; cinamon (0.12 g L-1); thermotherapy (60 °C for 20 s); thermotherapy + cinnamon oil; and imazalil (1000 mg L-1). The fruits were stored at 10 °C/85% RH for 6 days plus 3 days at room conditions. In vitro, cinnamon oil was most fungitoxic for P. digitatum, totally inhibiting the mycelial growth index at concentrations higher than 0.5 g L-1 by contact and significantly reducing it by its volatile compounds. For inoculated oranges, cinnamon oil was more effective as curative and lemon grass as protective. In the screening test, the dose of 0.12 g L-1 cinnamon oil showed better result compared to higher doses and to the blend of cinnamon and lemon grass. The thermotherapy combination followed by spraying of cinnamon oil significantly reduced green mold development (AACPD) in fruits (40.5%) stored under refrigeration; however, the fungicide imazalil provided a more effective control (97%) during prolonged storage.</p><p></p
