Memória e Oralidade: a cantoria de viola e a contação de histórias na Região do Cariri Cearense

It Considers that memory is responsible for the remembrance and knowledge which helps on the construction of the society culture. It Highlights the story telling and the viola singing as manifestations which take advantage of memory to keep themselves alive and to dissociate the (local) culture as a propagation of the own practice of transmitted information through its performance (verses and stories). It questions what approximate these cultural practices, how they are identify and construct themselves in the local conjecture. It aims at elucidating the dialogue produced and expressed from the relations between tradition and orality being the memory the demarcation of the continuity of generations, a way of reaffirming the cultural values of Cariri from Ceará and the contribution of this memory in the construction of individual and collective stories. It analyzes the literature on the topic, considering that both the story telling as the viola singing congregate, in relation to their actors and their oeuvre, a repository of memories of their generation, their people, becoming elements of representation and society connection and its social, economic, political and cultural facets.Considera que la memoria es responsable de recordar y transmitir el conocimiento que ayuda en la construcción de la cultura de las sociedades. Destaca la narración de cuentos y el canto de violas como manifestaciones que utilizan la memoria para mantenerse con vida y difundir la cultura (local) como una propagación de la práctica misma de la información transmitida a través de su creación (versos e historias). Cuestiona qué acerca estas prácticas culturales, cómo se identifican y construyen en la coyuntura local.

MANIFESTAÇÕES NEUROPSIQUIÁTRICAS DA ESCLEROSE HIPOTÁLAMICA: UMA REVISÃO ABRANGENTE

Introduction: Hypothalamic sclerosis is a rare condition characterized by progressive degeneration of the hypothalamus, a crucial region of the brain responsible for several neuroendocrine and autonomic functions. This integrative review aims to better understand the clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Objective: To investigate the current scientific literature on hypothalamic sclerosis, seeking to understand its causes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and available therapeutic options. Methodology: An integrative review of the literature was carried out, using medical databases, the descriptors in health sciences (DeCs): “Hypothalamic Sclerosis”, “Psychiatric Care”, “Surgery”, “Integration of Care”, combined with each other by the Boolean operators AND and OR.  Studies that addressed hypothalamic sclerosis in humans, published in the last ten years, were included. Results: Analysis of the selected studies revealed that hypothalamic sclerosis can present a wide variety of symptoms, including endocrine disorders, changes in body weight, sleep disorders and autonomic dysfunctions. Early diagnosis is challenging due to the rarity of the condition and the diversity of clinical presentations. Treatment is mainly symptomatic and multidisciplinary, focused on managing symptoms and improving patients' quality of life. Conclusion: Hypothalamic sclerosis is a complex and challenging condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach for proper diagnosis and management. More research is needed to better elucidate the underlying mechanisms, develop more accurate diagnostic methods, and identify new therapeutic strategies.Introdução: A esclerose hipotalâmica é uma condição rara caracterizada pela degeneração progressiva do hipotálamo, uma região crucial do cérebro responsável por diversas funções neuroendócrinas e autonômicas.

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

The Effect of Babassu Industry By-Products as an Alternative Feed for Dairy Cows

The objective of this study was to evaluate the fermentative characteristics, chemical composition, and in vitro digestibility of a total mixed ration silage containing two babassu by-products, starchy flour and babassu cake. The treatments were distributed in a completely randomised design containing four treatments and five replications. The treatments consisted of corn silage, corn silage based on the standard corn and soybean diet, corn silage with babassu flour, and corn silage with babassu cake. No significant difference was observed in the pH values (p = 0.256) for the studied silages. Higher values for dry matter recovery were observed for the silages of the total diets. The corn silage presented lower lactic acid production (55.15 g/kg DM) and acetic acid (11.54 g/kg DM) in relation to the total ration silages. The inclusion of babassu by-products increased the dry matter (p p p < 0.001) in the total ration silages. Silage in the form of the total ration containing regional babassu by-products improved the fermentative profile of the silages and the nutritional value of the diets, endowing them with potential for use as a feed alternative for dairy cattle

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

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
