Physical Activity, Cognition and Aging: An Urban Community Study
One important factor for healthy aging is the activity, which refers to physical and cognitive exercises done individually or in groups. In Brazil this relationship is still few explored. The goal of this study was to compare the cognitive performance of active and sedentary elderly from community. 394 community elderly people, with mean age of 71.01 (SD = 8.05) and 6.10 (SD = 4.52) years of scholarship, from community were assessed. MMSE, Digit Span and Verbal Fluency beyond and a questionnaire about physical activity were used. The results showed that most of the elderly people was female (69.5%), with 43.9% practicing some physical activity and from these, more than a half done by own will, specially walk. The most actives were younger, had higher scores in cognitive assessment and had more schooling. It was observed a statistically significant relationship between activity, scholarship and cognition. Further studies could explore the relationship between these variables for the implementation of effective health policies for the aging population
Nursing care and actions in mental health in a psychiatric day hospital: an integrative review
Objetivo: Identificar na literatura evidências disponíveis sobre as ações e os cuidados de enfermagem em saúde mental num hospital-dia psiquiátrico. Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada a partir de busca on-line de estudos nas bases de dados: LLILACS, MEDLINE e BDENF, tendo como critérios de inclusão: artigos publicados nos idiomas português, inglês ou espanhol no período de 1997 a 2012 e que abordassem a temática em questão. Resultados: Os cuidados de enfermagem a pacientes acompanhados em hospitais-dia focam atividades terapêuticas interdisciplinares voltadas à reinserção da pessoa que sofre com transtornos mentais ao convívio familiar e em sociedade. Conclusão: A Enfermagem tem priorizado um cuidado pautado na humanização e na integralidade da atenção no espaço do hospital-dia, a partir da priorização de atividades terapêuticas interdisciplinares.

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
