O Interesse de alunos do sétimo ano do ensino fundamental pelas ciências naturais

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade UnB Planaltina, 2018.Pesquisas indicam que os alunos muitas vezes não têm interesse pelos conteúdos de Ciências Naturais. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo analisar as principais dificuldades para o interesse de alunos do sétimo ano do Ensino Fundamental pelas Ciências Naturais. Desta forma, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa que constou em uma entrevista com uma professora de Ciências Naturais e com estudantes de uma mesma turma do 7º ano do Ensino Fundamental. As entrevistas foram norteadas com base em um questionário contendo perguntas abertas apoiadas em artigos na área da educação. Os dados permitem discutir as experiências entre os alunos e a professora nos momentos de aprendizagem e como essas influenciam o interesse dos estudantes

Causes And Consequences Of Coagulation Activation In Sepsis: An Evolutionary Medicine Perspective

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Background: Coagulation and innate immunity have been linked together for at least 450 million years of evolution. Sepsis, one of the world's leading causes of death, is probably the condition in which this evolutionary link is more evident. However, the biological and the clinical relevance of this association have only recently gained the attention of the scientific community. Discussion: During sepsis, the host response to a pathogen is invariably associated with coagulation activation. For several years, coagulation activation has been solely regarded as a mechanism of tissue damage, a concept that led to several clinical trials of anticoagulant agents for sepsis. More recently, this paradigm has been challenged by the failure of these clinical trials, and by a growing bulk of evidence supporting the concept that coagulation activation is beneficial for pathogen clearance. In this article we discuss recent basic and clinical data that point to a more balanced view of the detrimental and beneficial consequences of coagulation activation in sepsis. Summary: Reappraisal of the association between coagulation and immune activation from an evolutionary medicine perspective offers a unique opportunity to gain new insights about the pathogenesis of sepsis, paving the way to more successful approaches in both basic and clinical research in this field.13Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq

Psychosocial Aspects of Living With Diabetes Mellitus: An Enhancement of Diabetic Program of Primary Health Care in Doha, Qatar

Diabetes mellitus has a detrimental impact on one's well-being. Psychological and social aspects play a significant role in diabetes care and it is believed that these issues are important in the overall health of Qatari patients with diabetes mellitus. This descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted to determine the psychological and social aspects of living with diabetes mellitus. Two hundred eighty patients with diabetes mellitus were included as respondents of the study. It has shown that the respondents were, in general, psychologically and socially well. They were satisfied with their own selves and lived in a purposeful manner, however, they were anxious about the complications of the disease. Family members were concerned about their condition wherein they could talk freely about diabetes mellitus. Educational attainment and living arrangement were significantly correlated with psychological well-being. Presence of illnesses not related to diabetes was significantly correlated with both psychological and social well-being. To conclude, despite having diabetes mellitus, the patients still feel good about themselves, maintain healthy relationships and exhibit good psychological health and social well-being. To achieve the goals of diabetes care and to meet the challenges of diabetes, psychosocial interventions should be included as part of ongoing diabetes management. Keywords: diabetes mellitus; psychosocial aspect of diabetes mellitus; diabetic program; primary health car

Towards a lifelong personalized brain health program:empowering individuals to define, pursue, and monitor meaningful outcomes

Incorporating person-centered outcomes into clinical trials for neurodegenerative diseases has been challenging due to a deficiency in quantitative measures. Meanwhile, the integration of personally meaningful treatment targets in clinical practice remains qualitative, failing to truly inform evaluations, therapeutic interventions and longitudinal monitoring and support. We discuss the current advances and future directions in capturing individualized brain health outcomes and present an approach to integrate person-centered outcome in a scalable manner. Our approach stems from the evidence-based electronic Person-Specific Outcome Measure (ePSOM) program which prompts an individual to define personally meaningful treatment priorities and report level of confidence in managing items that matter to the individual the most (e.g., "Do I feel confident in my ability to contribute to a conversation?"). Deployed either as a single version (person only) or a dyad version (person and care partner), our proposed tool could be used as an endpoint in clinical trials, offering proof of meaningful intervention benefits and in clinical practice, by establishing an anchor for the therapeutic objectives sought by the individual.</p

Neotropical Anacardiaceae (cashew family)

Anacardiaceae is an ecologically and economically important plant family of about 200 species in 32 genera in the Neotropics. The family is particularly diverse in leaf architecture and fruit morphology, making it a model family to study the evolution of structural diversity as it correlates with lineage diversification. This fruit diversity is the primary reason 11 of the Neotropical genera are monotypic and that so many genera are recognized in the Anacardiaceae. The economic value of the family is driven by the global markets for cashews, mangoes, and pistachios, but there is great potential value in its medicinal properties. At least 10 Neotropical genera cause contact dermatitis, which is a rich area for research in the family. Here presented is a review of the systematics and structural diversity of the family. Particular attention is given to the morphology, economic botany, paleobotany, ecology, and taxonomy of native and naturalized genera. Keys to Neotropical Anacardiaceae subfamilies and genera are provided along with descriptions of native genera

Challenges of organic agriculture for the production of composts and vermicompost for the production of medicinal plants – A socioeconomic demand

Although the demand for organic fertilizers in agriculture is growing, it remains incipient in some production sectors, such as medicinal plant production, which does not possess specific technology for its development. Solid residues are highly contaminant to water sources, soil, populations and biodiversity but can potentially be used to produce organic composts and vermicompost, such production not only enables nutrient recycling but also acts on soil conditioning, increasing soil organic matter and improving its physical, chemical and biological characteristics, as well as strengthening organic production with an emphasis on medicinal plant production. In this context, recommendations for and applications of organic fertilizers available in the market were reviewed; in addition, the imminent socioeconomic demand for organic compost and vermicompost production was contextualized based on residues from coffee and sugarcane production and cattle farming for application to the medicinal plant production chain. It is concluded that although these sectors produce a considerable amount of residues, they are not being reused in formulation of organic composts and vermicompost, and commercial organic fertilizers recommended for medicinal plant production were not found. Thus, the formulation of vermicomposting and composting from the reuse of agricultural residues, are potential social, economic technologies and tools to be valued and disseminated to traditional and family farmers

PSICOLOGIA EM LINK: PROJETO DE ESCUTA PSICOLÓGICA ONLINE EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal relatar a experiência da ação extensionista Psicologia em Link, criada para desenvolver um espaço de escuta e acolhimento psicológico de forma online durante o período de afastamento social na pandemia da COVID-19 no ano de 2020. O atendimento online é uma modalidade reconhecida e regulamentada pelo sistema conselhos de Psicologia. Este projeto foi implantado diante da impossibilidade da realização dos atendimentos presenciais, a partir de estudos recentes sobre saúde mental em tempos de distanciamento social e sobre o próprio atendimento online. Todos os atendimentos foram realizados virtualmente através de plataformas de vídeo conferências (Skype, Google Meet) e para divulgação e acesso ao projeto foram utilizadas redes sociais como o WhatsApp e o Instagram. Apontamos que, nesse contexto, a universidade pública assume um importante papel ao não se eximir em devolver à comunidade externa os investimentos realizados ao contribuir no esforço de redução do sofrimento mental da população, além de atender ao fundamento da indissociabilidade entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Desde o planejamento até a prática, a ação apresentou desafios que conduziram à produção de conhecimento, experiência e possibilidade de atendimento a diversos públicos. Os atendimentos nas modalidades online têm oferecido perspectivas positivas e relevantes no cuidado e minimização de danos em situações de urgência. Apesar dos desafios encontrados durante a experiência, ressalta-se, neste relato, a validade e o impacto da ação para toda a comunidade, incluindo, também, a formação dos alunos extensionistas envolvidos, atentos às novas modalidades, às diversas realidades e às  demandas sociais
