Diferença na qualidade de vida de mulheres ativas e sedentárias com síndrome de fibromialgia

O estudo avaliou a diferença na qualidade de vida de mulheres fisicamente ativas e sedentárias acometidas com a síndrome de fibromialgia. O nível de atividade física foi avaliado pelo IPAQ e a qualidade de vida pelo Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). Aplicou-se o FIQ em 10 mulheres fisicamente ativas (G1) e 8 sedentárias (G2). Na análise estatística calculou-se a média, desvio padrão e o teste T de Student com nível de significância de p < 0,05. Os resultados do FIQ indicaram 32 pontos para G1 e 71 pontos para G2. Houve diferença significativa nos valores obtidos entre os grupos (p < 0,001). Conclui-se que a prática de exercícios físicos influencia positivamente na melhora da qualidade de vida das mulheres com a síndrome de fibromialgia

SARS-CoV-2 introductions and early dynamics of the epidemic in Portugal

Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal was rapidly implemented by the National Institute of Health in the early stages of the COVID-19 epidemic, in collaboration with more than 50 laboratories distributed nationwide. Methods By applying recent phylodynamic models that allow integration of individual-based travel history, we reconstructed and characterized the spatio-temporal dynamics of SARSCoV-2 introductions and early dissemination in Portugal. Results We detected at least 277 independent SARS-CoV-2 introductions, mostly from European countries (namely the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy, and Switzerland), which were consistent with the countries with the highest connectivity with Portugal. Although most introductions were estimated to have occurred during early March 2020, it is likely that SARS-CoV-2 was silently circulating in Portugal throughout February, before the first cases were confirmed. Conclusions Here we conclude that the earlier implementation of measures could have minimized the number of introductions and subsequent virus expansion in Portugal. This study lays the foundation for genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal, and highlights the need for systematic and geographically-representative genomic surveillance.We gratefully acknowledge to Sara Hill and Nuno Faria (University of Oxford) and Joshua Quick and Nick Loman (University of Birmingham) for kindly providing us with the initial sets of Artic Network primers for NGS; Rafael Mamede (MRamirez team, IMM, Lisbon) for developing and sharing a bioinformatics script for sequence curation (https://github.com/rfm-targa/BioinfUtils); Philippe Lemey (KU Leuven) for providing guidance on the implementation of the phylodynamic models; Joshua L.

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

Uma Análise Da Inserção De Mobile Learning No Processo De Ensino-Aprendizagem No Ensino Médio Integrado Ao Técnico Em Informática

&lt;p&gt;O presente artigo aborda a integração de dispositivos móveis no contexto do Ensino Médio Integrado ao Técnico em Informática, utilizando a teoria do Conectivismo como base para uma atividade prática que envolve o desenvolvimento de uma aplicação de Mobile Learning. A pesquisa foi conduzida na Escola Estadual Gonçalves Dias, uma instituição pública localizada em Boa Vista, Roraima, e se concentrou em uma turma do 2º ano do Ensino Médio Integrado ao Técnico em Informática. Este artigo adotou uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Os principais resultados destacaram uma transformação no processo de aprendizagem dos alunos que participaram da pesquisa. Ficou evidente que as metodologias e ferramentas de computação apresentadas contribuíram significativamente para a melhoria da compreensão dos conteúdos relacionados à Programação Web. A pesquisa também ressalta a importância de combinar estratégias pedagógicas com as tecnologias predominantes na sociedade contemporânea, em particular o uso de dispositivos móveis na educação. Isso foi analisado sob a perspectiva do Conectivismo, uma teoria educacional emergente e relevante nos tempos atuais.&lt;/p&gt
