    Get PDF
    Thème : Ce travail concerne les parents d’enfant vivant avec un diabète de type 1, l’impact de cette maladie sur la qualité de vie du patient et de ses proches et les besoins qui en découlent. La théorie de l’adaptation de Soeur Callista Roy est utilisée comme ancrage disciplinaire pour cette revue de littérature. Problématique : Les statistiques actuelles démontrent que le diabète de type 1 se déclare chez des enfants de plus en plus jeunes. Leur jeune âge ne leur permet pas de prendre en charge tous les aspects de leur maladie, ce sont donc les parents qui vont devoir prendre en soins l’enfant et devenir ainsi leur proche aidant. La maladie de l’enfant ainsi que sa prise en soin auront un impact direct sur la qualité de vie des parents. Dans le but d’améliorer leur qualité de vie et de faciliter la prise en charge de l’enfant vivant avec un diabète de type 1, l’infirmière1 doit adapter sa prise en soin aux besoins spécifiques de chacun

    O uso de equipamentos que monitorem a concentração de poluentes pode contribuir para prevenção de possíveis danos à saúde humana. Esse trabalho consiste no desenvolvimento de amostradores passivos de baixo custo para a determinação dos poluentes NO2 e O3 no campus Alto Paraopeba, através da análise fatorial e superfície de resposta. Os amostradores foram construídos em placas de Petri com filtros de papel contendo diferentes soluções absorvedoras para cada tipo de gás monitorado. Os amostradores de NO2 foram expostos no refeitório da Universidade e os amostradores de O3 foram expostos na sala de máquinas fotocopiadoras. Nos amostradores foram usadas diferentes quantidades de solução absorvedora e, também, diferentes tempos de exposição. Os resultados mostraram que a melhor condição para o NO2 foi obtida com 4,6 mL de solução absorvedora e no tempo de 68 horas de exposição. Nessas condições, a concentração de NO2 no Restaurante Universitário foi de 10,5 µg/m3. Para o ozônio, as concentrações variaram entre 4,2 µg/m3 e 40 µg/m3, e a melhor condição (3 mL de solução absorvedora e tempo de 77 horas) está localizada no ponto sela e não na região ótima do gráfico. Isso ocorre devido ao fato do ozônio se decompor rapidamente a oxigênio. Os amostradores passivos apresentaram resultados satisfatórios e recomenda-se seu uso como uma alternativa de baixo custo para o monitoramento de NO2 e O3 no Restaurante Universitário e sala de Fotocopiadoras.  ABSTRACTThe use of equipment that monitors the concentration of pollutants can contribute to the prevention of possible damages to human health. This work is to develop inexpensive passive samplers for the determination of NO2 and O3 pollution in the campus Alto Paraopeba beyond the optimization of analytical methods by software that provides a complete environment for data analysis; by factor analysis and response surface generated by it. The samplers were constructed on Petri dishes with paper filter containing different absorbing solutions according to each monitored gas. The samplers were exposed to NO2 at university restaurant and others samplers were exposed to O3 at the photocopier room of the campus. In samplers were used different amounts of absorber solution and also different exposure times. The results showed that the best condition for NO2 was obtained with 4.6 mL of absorbing solution in time of 68 hours exposure. Under these conditions, the concentration of NO2 in the university restaurant was 10.5 µg/m3. For ozone, the concentrations ranged from 4.2 µg/m3 and 40 µg/m3, and the best condition (3 mL absorbing solution and time of 77 hours) is located at saddle point and not at the optimal region of the graph. This is because ozone has rapidly decomposes to oxygen. Passive samplers presented satisfactory results and it is recommended to use them as a low cost alternative for the monitoring of NO2 and O3 in the University Restaurant and Photocopiers room

    Primates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, and emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species in the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 of them endemic. We compiled a dataset of 5,472 georeferenced locations of 26 native and 1 introduced primate species, as hybrids in the genera Callithrix and Alouatta. The dataset includes 700 primate communities, 8,121 single species occurrences and 714 estimates of primate population sizes, covering most natural forest types of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina and some other biomes. On average, primate communities of the Atlantic Forest harbor 2 ± 1 species (range = 1–6). However, about 40% of primate communities contain only one species. Alouatta guariba (N = 2,188 records) and Sapajus nigritus (N = 1,127) were the species with the most records. Callicebus barbarabrownae (N = 35), Leontopithecus caissara (N = 38), and Sapajus libidinosus (N = 41) were the species with the least records. Recorded primate densities varied from 0.004 individuals/km2 (Alouatta guariba at Fragmento do Bugre, Paraná, Brazil) to 400 individuals/km2 (Alouatta caraya in Santiago, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Our dataset reflects disparity between the numerous primate census conducted in the Atlantic Forest, in contrast to the scarcity of estimates of population sizes and densities. With these data, researchers can develop different macroecological and regional level studies, focusing on communities, populations, species co‐occurrence and distribution patterns. Moreover, the data can also be used to assess the consequences of fragmentation, defaunation, and disease outbreaks on different ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, species invasion or extinction, and community dynamics.

We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using the data.Fil: Culot, Laurence. Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho; BrasilFil: Pereira, Lucas Augusto.

    International Society of Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM)-ITS reference DNA barcoding database - the quality controlled standard tool for routine identification of human and animal pathogenic fungi

    Human and animal fungal pathogens are a growing threat worldwide leading to emerging infections and creating new risks for established ones. There is a growing need for a rapid and accurate identification of pathogens to enable early diagnosis and targeted antifungal therapy. Morphological and biochemical identification methods are time-consuming and require trained experts. Alternatively, molecular methods, such as DNA barcoding, a powerful and easy tool for rapid monophasic identification, offer a practical approach for species identification and less demanding in terms of taxonomical expertise. However, its wide-spread use is still limited by a lack of quality-controlled reference databases and the evolving recognition and definition of new fungal species/complexes. An international consortium of medical mycology laboratories was formed aiming to establish a quality controlled ITS database under the umbrella of the ISHAM working group on "DNA barcoding of human and animal pathogenic fungi." A new database, containing 2800 ITS sequences representing 421 fungal species, providing the medical community with a freely accessible tool at http://www.isham.org and http://its.mycologylab.org/ to rapidly and reliably identify most agents of mycoses, was established. The generated sequences included in the new database were used to evaluate the variation and overall utility of the ITS region for the identification of pathogenic fungi at intra-and interspecies level. The average intraspecies variation ranged from 0 to 2.25%. This highlighted selected pathogenic fungal species, such as the dermatophytes and emerging yeast, for which additional molecular methods/genetic markers are required for their reliable identification from clinical and veterinary specimens.This study was supported by an National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NH&MRC) grant [#APP1031952] to W Meyer, S Chen, V Robert, and D Ellis; CNPq [350338/2000-0] and FAPERJ [E-26/103.157/2011] grants to RM Zancope-Oliveira; CNPq [308011/2010-4] and FAPESP [2007/08575-1] Fundacao de Amparo Pesquisa do Estado de So Paulo (FAPESP) grants to AL Colombo; PEst-OE/BIA/UI4050/2014 from Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FCT) to C Pais; the Belgian Science Policy Office (Belspo) to BCCM/IHEM; the MEXBOL program of CONACyT-Mexico, [ref. number: 1228961 to ML Taylor and [122481] to C Toriello; the Institut Pasteur and Institut de Veil le Sanitaire to F Dromer and D Garcia-Hermoso; and the grants from the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq) and the Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Goias (FAPEG) to CM de Almeida Soares and JA Parente Rocha.
