Use of flight interception traps of Malaise type and attractive traps for social wasps record (Vespidae: Polistinae)

The literature provides different methodologies for sampling social wasps, including, flight intercept trap type Malaise and Attractive trap, however, there is no consensus on its use. In this respect, the aim of this study was to evaluate the best use of Malaise traps and Attractive trap in biodiversity work of social wasps, and generate a collection protocol for the use of these traps. The study was conducted in the Parque Estadual do Rio Doce, located in the east of the state of Minas Gerais, in the years 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004 and in the Botanical Garden of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, located in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais, in years 2011, 2012 and 2013. 15 species were collected using Malaise traps, and, 26 species of social wasps were collected using Attractive traps. Although the negative aspects of both traps, complementary methodologies surveys varying social wasps are useful and it is recommended to choose for using in accordance with the logistical field

Validación clínica de espiritualidad perjudicada en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica

This study aimed to identify and validate the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis Impaired spirituality. The methodological framework proposed by Fehring for the clinical validation of nursing diagnosis was used. The investigation was carried out in a dialysis clinic and had as participants 120 patients with chronic renal disease. Data were collected by two expert nurses, through interviews. The prevalence of the nursing diagnosis Impaired spirituality in the sample was 27.5%. It was found that the most frequent defining characteristics were Expresses behavioral changes: rage, Inability to express creativity, Questions suffering and Expresses alienation. The clinical validation of Impaired spirituality contributed to refine this diagnosis. Its identification in patients with chronic renal disease undergoing dialysis treatment can offer alternatives for a safer and more effective intervention, aiming at the satisfaction of the spiritual needs of these patients.Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar e validar as características definidoras do diagnóstico de enfermagem espiritualidade prejudicada.

A investigação decorreu em uma clínica de hemodiálise e contou com a participação de 120 pacientes com doença renal crônica. Os dados foram coletados por dois enfermeiros peritos, por meio de entrevistas. A prevalência do diagnóstico de enfermagem espiritualidade prejudicada, na amostra, foi de 27,5%. Constatou-se que as características definidoras mais frequentes foram: expressa alteração de comportamento: raiva, é incapaz de expressar criatividade, questiona sofrimento e expressa alienação. A validação clínica de espiritualidade prejudicada contribuiu para o refinamento desse diagnóstico e sua identificação, junto a pacientes com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise, pode oferecer caminhos para intervenção mais segura e eficaz, visando a satisfação das necessidades espirituais desses pacientes.Este estudio tuvo por objetivo identificar y validar las características definidoras del diagnóstico de enfermería espiritualidad perjudicada.

ANALYTICAL METHOD BY HPLC-DAD ALLOWS QUANTIFICATION OF QUERCETIN MARKER IN STANDARDIZED EXTRACT OF ANADENANTHERA COLUBRINA VAR. CEBIL

Objective: The Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brennan var. cebil is a medicinal plant that has been used for the treatment of many diseases in the northeastern region of Brazil. This plant contains secondary metabolites such as quercetin, a flavonoid that is known by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this work is to propose the validation of an analytical method using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) for the quantification of quercetin and standardization of the hydroalcoholic extract (HAE) of A. colubrina.Methods: The A. colubrina extracts were prepared by the maceration process with powdered leaves at 20% weight: volume (w/v) and a hydroalcoholic solution at 50% volume: volume (v/v) for 120 h at room temperature. After pretreatment of the hydroalcoholic extract, the quercetin marker was used for quantification and proceeded to the evaluation of validation parameters for the method using HPLC-DAD.Results: The analytical method proved to be specific. Linear over the range 1.4–26.6 µg/ml, regression analysis showed a good correlation coefficient (R2= 0.999); the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.27 and 0.81 μg/ml respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) did not exceed 2.5% for precision. The proposed method was validated with an average recovery of 92.5–97.5%.Conclusion: The method was validated using HPLC-DAD, allowing the quantification of quercetin in the standardisation process of extracts and quality control of the herbal drug containing A. colubrina Phyto complex

Spatiotemporal dynamic analysis of heat spots in two indigenous lands of Mato Grosso state : a geoespatial approach over the a dynamic of fire use by Xavantes and Bororos

O objetivo deste artigo foi, com suporte de geotecnologias, estudar a distribuição espaço-temporal dos focos de calor detectados pelos sensores a bordo dos satélites NOAA-12 e NOAA-15 entre os anos de 2005 e 2010, em uma região do leste de Mato Grosso. Observou-se que nas terras indígenas Merure, pertencentes à etnia Bororo, e São Marcos, pertencentes à etnia Xavante, os focos de calor apresentaram padrões distintos, o que pode ser atribuído a diferentes formas de utilização do fogo por essas etnias. Comparando-se os focos nas três áreas, Bororo, Xavante e entorno, notou-se que na terra indígena dos Bororos, existe maior concentração e densidade de focos de calor próximo às rodovias existentes em seu interior. Para a terra indígena dos Xavantes, apesar da existência de uma rodovia em seu interior, os focos de calor se distribuem de forma dispersa por todo o território. A prática da caça com a utilização do fogo pelos Xavantes exerce forte influência nessa distribuição de focos.The article aimed to use geotechnology to study the occurrence of heat spots detected sensors on board of NOAA-12 and NOAA-15 satellites, between the years 2000 and 2010 in a region located on east of Mato Grosso state. It was observed that in the Merure, belonging to Bororo people and São Marcos, belonging to Xavante people indigenous lands the heat spots were presented in different patterns that can be attributed to the distinct ways of fire management by each ethnic group. The practice of hunting with the use of fire influenced the higher concentration and considerable densities of hot spots distributed throughout inside the Xavante`s territory compared to the Bororo´s and in the surrounding buffer areas of São Marcos. In the Bororo territory was observed that the hot spots were presented in higher densities close to the highways that crosses its territory
