The Caregiver Support Ratio in Europe: Estimating the Future of Potentially (Un)Available Caregivers

The caregiver support ratio (CSR) is defined as the number of potential caregivers aged 45–64 years, the most common caregiving age range, for each person aged 80+, the subgroup of older adults most at risk of needing long-term services and support. This study uses data from the CENSUS HUB database and from the UN database to calculate the current (last year available: 2011) and projected (2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050) CSR for a group of European countries. Mediterranean countries, France, Belgium, and Sweden presented the lowest CSR (5:1) in 2011. The countries with the highest CSR were Slovakia (9:1) and Ireland, Poland, Cyprus, and Malta (8:1). The estimated CSR is expected to progressively decline from 6:1 (2011) to 2:1 (2050) for all countries. Although differences in the CSR exist between countries, the number of people aged 45–64 who are available to care for each person aged 80+ will decrease uniformly in the coming decades. Cross-national challenges for gerontological social policies and healthcare provision are expected due to the increasing demand for long-term care among the oldest population.This work was partially supported by National Funds through Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) within the CINTESIS R&D Unit (reference UIDB/4255/2020).

Armazenamento de sementes de taperebá em diferentes ambientes.

O taperebá (SpondiasmombinL.) é espécie frutífera originária da América tropical, comum na região Amazônica, onde ocorre no estado silvestre. Sementes de taperebá foram armazenadas durante 180 dias em temperaturas ambiente, de geladeira e freezer, e submetidas a avaliações periódicas para determinação do teor de água, da germinação e do vigor. O delineamento experimental adotado foi em esquema fatorial 3x4 (ambientes de armazenamento x tempo de armazenamento), com quatro repetições. As médias foram comparadas utilizando-se o teste de Tukey a 5%. Observou-se maior desempenho germinativo das sementes de S. mombin antes do armazenamento e nas sementes armazenadas em temperatura ambiente

Quantum equivalence between the self-dual and the Maxwell-Chern-Simons models nonlinearly coupled to U(1) scalar fields

The use of master actions to prove duality at quantum level becomes cumbersome if one of the dual fields interacts nonlinearly with other fields. This is the case of the theory considered here consisting of U(1) scalar fields coupled to a self-dual field through a linear and a quadratic term in the self-dual field. Integrating perturbatively over the scalar fields and deriving effective actions for the self-dual and the gauge field we are able to consistently neglect awkward extra terms generated via master action and establish quantum duality up to cubic terms in the coupling constant. The duality holds for the partition function and some correlation functions. The absence of ghosts imposes restrictions on the coupling with the scalar fields.Comment: 13 pages, no figure

Detection of two endornavirus in common bean genotypes in Brazil.

Endornaviruses (Endornaviridae) are persistent viruses that infect important crops such as pepper, rice, broad bean, and beans. However, these viruses are poorly studied and have not yet been reported in Brazil. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of two endornaviruses, Phaseolus vulgaris endornavirus-1 (PvEV-1) and Phaseolus vulgaris endornavirus-2 (PvEV-2) in bean genotypes
