The Importance of Parental Accompaniment During Postpartum and the Fatherhood / A Importância do Acompanhamento Paterno no Pós-Parto e o Exercício da Paternidade

A paternidade não deve ser tratada apenas do ponto de vista da obrigação legal, mas, sobretudo, como um direito do homem de participar de todo o processo. Objetivo: analisar a participação do homem no acompanhamento do pós-parto e sua relação com o exercício da paternidade. Método: trata-se de pesquisa documental com abordagem qualitativa, na qual se observou que mais da metade dos pais informantes participavam dos cuidados direta ou indiretamente, independente dos níveis de complexidade desses cuidados. Resultados: percebeu-se, então, que os pais estão mais participativos, o que leva a crer que o exercício da paternidade está rompendo, em certo ponto, com os modelos tradicionais de masculinidade que ainda perduram nos dias de hoje. Conclusão: Por isso, é de extrema relevância que os homens sejam incentivados a exercerem a paternidade, pois, através dela, eles contribuem para a desigualdade de gênero

Filosofia e ética: contribuições epistemológicas para a construção do conhecimento científico

A presente pesquisa apresenta uma análise epistemológica das contribuições ético-filosóficas para a construção do conhecimento científico. A Filosofia e a Ética, ao confrontar-se com a crise ou os problemas que assolam a humanidade, procuraram identificar a sua origem. A pesquisa bibliográfica demonstra, que ao conhecer os fatos e fenômenos, trazemos à luz do pensamento, possíveis caminhos em direção a possíveis soluções, através do expoente do conhecimento lógico, possibilitando refletir e compreender o mundo. Por fim, justifica-se na pauta de assuntos que tratam dos aspectos técnicos e profissionais tomados no ambiente acadêmicos de pesquisas e estudos de aprimoramento que o estudam e tomam desse fenômeno as paridades com a realidade observada no mundo contemporâneo

Congenital malformations in neonates: analysis of morbidity and associated factors

Objective: To evaluate the neonatal morbidity due to congenital malformations in the city of Petrolina-PE, from 2008 to 2013. Methods: A descriptive study with data from the Information System on Live Births (Sinasc). The analyzes were carried out through frequency distribution and measures of central tendency and dispersion. The associations were tested by the Pearson and Kruskal Wallis chi-square tests. Significance was set at 5% and 95% confidence. Results: 436 cases of congenital malformations were recorded in the study period, with 2011 being the highest occurrence year. The mothers of the newborns were young (25.2 years old), single, upper level of education and household. In general multiparous, with single gestation, vaginal delivery and performed up to six prenatal visits. The newborns were males, at 39 weeks or more of gestation and with normal weight (> = 2500g). The malformations of the musculoskeletal system were the most frequent followed by the genitourinary system. Congenital malformations were especially associated with neonatal characteristics such as gender and weight. In all causes the mean weight was greater than 2500g (p <0.05). The causes of malformation of greater occurrence in both sexes were osteomuscular (p <0.05). The aspects of the mother did not present significant differences in the present study (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The present study evidenced relevant aspects in the occurrence of morbidities due to congenital malformations, directing to a greater attention the occurrence of these diseases especially in relation to the newborn

A Review on Evolution of Cotton in Brazil: GM, White, and Colored Cultivars

Cotton is the main natural fiber grown all over the world. Despite the wide economic importance, cotton faces a strong competition with polyester and other synthetic fibers. This competition induced producers, industry, and scientists to seek for other competitive alternatives to minimize the heavy economic effect on the natural fiber market. As a result, the adoption of robust cultivars and technical management led to improvements in fiber productivity and quality. Brazil is currently a large exponent in cotton fiber production, able to meet the domestic demand and export the surplus. The white fiber market, supplied by conventional and GM cultivars, is the main segment of cotton in Brazil, but the naturally colored fibers have opened up the expectations to new opportunities for small farmers located at semiarid, which preferably adopt the organic or agroecological managements. This review brings information about cotton in Brazil, focusing on the current scenario of this natural fiber
