Saude mental na estrategia saude da familia : revisao da literatura brasileira = Mental health in the Family Health Strategy : a review of Brazilian literature

The Family Health Strategy establishes the principles of the Brazilian Primary Health Care and shares important goals with the Psychiatric Reform. The principles of territory-centered care and longitudinal care should enhance innovative actions of mental health promotion, prevention and rehabilitation. The aim of this review was to analyze the main themes approached by the Brazilian scientific literature concerning mental health in the Family Health Strategy. We read the titles of 267 articles published between 1999 and 2009. We followed specific criteria to select 38 articles for thematic analysis. The main themes were the demands in mental health, the perceptions and practices of health personnel and the role of the psychologist in Primary Care. The publications identified several problems: stereotypical views about mental disorders, the dominance of the hospitalization rationale, and the absence of clinical reports, strategies, qualified support to families and integrated health actions. The qualitative meta-analysis indicated questions that may strengthen the debate on the topic, the reflection on further research and on professional practice in the interface between Mental Health and Family Health

Estimação da fração digestível da proteína bruta em dietas para bovinos em condições brasileiras Estimation of crude protein digestible fraction in cattle diets under Brazilian conditions

Objetivou-se neste estudo propor e validar um modelo para estimação da fração aparentemente digestível da proteína bruta (PB) de dietas fornecidas a bovinos. As bases teóricas para o desenvolvimento do modelo fundamentaram-se no coeficiente de digestibilidade verdadeiro e na contribuição metabólica fecal. O método de estimação destes parâmetros baseou-se no teste de entidade nutricional. O banco de dados utilizado para construção do modelo foi constituído de 39 e 54 médias experimentais para vacas em lactação (dez experimentos) e bovinos em crescimento e terminação (23 experimentos). Adotou-se o esquema de identidade de modelos por variável Dummy para diferenciação entre categorias animais. O banco de dados utilizado para validação do modelo proposto foi obtido de quatro experimentos, dois para cada categoria animal. O coeficiente de digestibilidade verdadeiro da PB, cuja estimativa foi de 0,7845, não diferiu entre as categorias animais. A fração metabólica fecal foi superior para vacas em lactação e mostrou-se não relacionada ao teor dietético de PB (PB%) quando expressa como percentual desta quantidade. Assim, para animais alimentados ad libitum, o teor de PB aparentemente digestível (PBad%) pode ser estimado pelas equações: PBad% = 0,7845PB% - 0,97, para vacas em lactação; e PBad% = 0,7845PB% - 1,61, para bovinos em crescimento e terminação. O processo de validação indicou similaridade entre valores preditos e observados de PBad%. Os modelos propostos poderão ampliar a acurácia de predição do teor de NDT utilizando-se a composição química da dieta.<br>The objective of this study was to propose and validate a model to estimate the apparently digestible fraction of crude protein (CP) of cattle diets. The theoretical framework for model development was based on true digestibility coefficient and metabolic fecal contribution. The estimation of both parameters was done by using the Lucas test. The dataset for model building was composed by 39 and 54 means from 10 experiments with lactating cows and 23 experiments with growing and finishing cattle, respectively. For comparisons of animal categories a Dummy variable was used. The dataset for model validation came from two trials with lactating cows and two trials with growing and finishing cattle. The true digestibility coefficient, which was estimated as 0.7845 did not differ among animal categories. The greatest metabolic fecal CP was observed on lactating cows but it was not affected by dietary CP level when expressed as percentage of dietary CP. Thus, for animals fed ad libitum the content of apparently digestible CP (CPad%) in the diet can be estimated by the following equations: CPad% = 0.7845CP% - 0.97 for lactating cows and CPad% = 0.7845CP% - 1.61 for growing and finishing cattle. The validation procedure indicated no differences between observed and estimated values of CPad%. It can be concluded that the proposed models will improve the accuracy of TDN prediction using the chemical composition of the diet

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora

Growing knowledge: an overview of Seed Plant diversity in Brazil

Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil is home to 32,086 native Angiosperms and 23 native Gymnosperms, showing an increase of 3% in its species richness in relation to 2010. The Amazon Rainforest is the richest Brazilian biome for Gymnosperms, while the Atlantic Rainforest is the richest one for Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment in the number of species and endemism rates for biomes, except for the Amazon that showed a decrease of 2.5% of recorded endemics. However, well over half of Brazillian seed plant species (57.4%) is endemic to this territory. The proportion of life-forms varies among different biomes: trees are more expressive in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest biomes while herbs predominate in the Pampa, and lianas are more expressive in the Amazon, Atlantic Rainforest, and Pantanal. This compilation serves not only to quantify Brazilian biodiversity, but also to highlight areas where there information is lacking and to provide a framework for the challenge faced in conserving Brazil's unique and diverse flora
