Comparando Grupos de Agricultores de Acordo com suas Intenções em Diversificar a Produção Agrícola: Uma Aplicação da Teoria do Comportamento Planejado

Diversification of production in rural areas is one of the priority themes in the European Union, since it ensures the production of different foods. The objective of this study is to analyze if the different levels of intention of the familiar farmers in diversifying the agricultural production can be explained by the constructs Attitude, Subjective Normative and Perceived Behavioral Control, by the decision styles and the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers. The study was carried out with 101 family farmers located in the Northwest region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where milk production is their main source of income. The data showed that there are two groups of farmers, one with weak intention to diversify and another with strong intention. It was observed that the group with low intention perceives diversification as less favorable (attitude), feel less social pressure (subjective norms) and perceive as less their ability to use this productive strategy in their rural establishments (perceived behavioral control) than the group with strong intention. The results showed that the group with a strong intention to diversify has a larger family and has a smaller area of land, compared to the group with low intention. The results of this study can be used to promote rural development in small farms and suggest public policies aimed at this area, especially for forms of production that provide food for urban supply

Comparing groups of farmers according to their intentions to diversify agricultural production : an application of the planned Behavior Theory

A diversificação da produção no meio rural é um dos temas prioritários na União Europeia, uma vez que assegura a produção de diferentes alimentos. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar se os diferentes níveis de intenção dos agricultores familiares em diversificar a produção agrícola podem ser explicados pelos constructos Atitude, Norma Subjetiva e Controle Comportamental Percebido, pelos estilos de decisão e pelas características socioeconômicas dos agricultores. O estudo foi realizado com 101 agricultores familiares localizados na Região Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, que tem na produção de leite sua principal fonte de renda. Os dados demonstraram que existem dois grupos de agricultores, um com fraca intenção de diversificar e outro com forte intenção. Constatou-se que o grupo com fraca intenção percebe a diversificação como menos favorável (atitude), sente uma menor pressão social (normas subjetivas) e percebe como menor sua capacidade de utilizar esta estratégia produtiva em seus estabelecimentos rurais (controle comportamental percebido) do que o grupo com forte intenção. Os resultados mostraram que o grupo com forte intenção de diversificar possui família maior e tem menor área de terra, comparado com o grupo de fraca intenção. Os resultados deste estudo podem ser utilizados para promover o desenvolvimento rural, e sugerem políticas públicas voltadas para este espaço, sobretudo para formas de produção que fornecem alimentos destinados ao abastecimento urbano.Diversification of production in rural areas is one of the priority themes in the European Union, since it ensures the production of different foods.

Prevalence and incidence of Parkinson's disease and other forms of parkinsonism in a cohort of elderly individuals in Southern Brazil : protocol for a population-based study

Introduction Parkinsonism is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting the elderly. Several population-based studies have determined the epidemiology of parkinsonism, mainly Parkinson’s disease (PD), but there is still little evidence in the Brazilian population. This protocol study aims to assess the prevalence and incidence of cases of PD and other parkinsonian syndromes in a 5-year cohort in a population-based study in the southern region of Brazil. Methods and analysis A prospective population-based longitudinal study, with a cohort of development of cases of parkinsonism, divided into two phases: in phase I, two questionnaires to screen for parkinsonism (Tanner’s questionnaire), Rapid Eyes Movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Single-Question Screen) and a short interview will be conducted with all elderly residents of Veranópolis (the first longevity Brazilian county located in the Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) aged 60 or over. The positive screened cases will be examined independently by at least two movement disorder-trained physicians and prevalence will be determined. A comprehensive evaluation of prodromic symptoms, risk factors and clinical characteristics will be carried out. Subjects with subtle parkinsonism and a sample of healthy subjects will be followed for 5 years in a developmental cohort of parkinsonism cases. For crude incidence, all individuals admitted at the beginning of the study will be re-evaluated

QSAR-Driven Discovery of Novel Chemical Scaffolds Active against Schistosoma mansoni.

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Thioredoxin glutathione reductase of Schistosoma mansoni (SmTGR) is a validated drug target that plays a crucial role in the redox homeostasis of the parasite. We report the discovery of new chemical scaffolds against S. mansoni using a combi-QSAR approach followed by virtual screening of a commercial database and confirmation of top ranking compounds by in vitro experimental evaluation with automated imaging of schistosomula and adult worms. We constructed 2D and 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models using a series of oxadiazoles-2-oxides reported in the literature as SmTGR inhibitors and combined the best models in a consensus QSAR model. This model was used for a virtual screening of Hit2Lead set of ChemBridge database and allowed the identification of ten new potential SmTGR inhibitors. Further experimental testing on both shistosomula and adult worms showed that 4-nitro-3,5-bis(1-nitro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1H-pyrazole (LabMol-17) and 3-nitro-4-{[(4-nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)oxy]methyl}-1,2,5-oxadiazole (LabMol-19), two compounds representing new chemical scaffolds, have high activity in both systems. These compounds will be the subjects for additional testing and, if necessary, modification to serve as new schistosomicidal agents

A prevalência da hemorragia pós parto e as suas complicações: uma revisão de literatura

A hemorragia pós-parto é uma complicação grave que ocorre após o parto, caracterizada por uma perda excessiva de sangue, geralmente mais de 500 ml em partos vaginais e mais de 1000ml em cesarianas. Pode ser causada por uma variedade de fatores, incluindo atonia uterina (falha do útero em contrair-se após o parto), lacerações do trato genital, retenção de tecido placentário ou coagulopatias. Dessa forma, por ser um tema capaz de levar a uma grande quantidade de mortes maternas, necessita de discussão, para que números de óbito e complicações diminuam. Assim, 11 trabalhos foram analisados com o intuito de abordar acerca da prevalência da Hemorragia Pós Parto e através disso, otimizar as medidas públicas. Nesse contexto, concluiu-se que é de suma importância que a equipe esteja preparada e com as medicações de prontidão para evitar tais casos e que o pré natal seja realizado de forma eficiente e eficaz. Ademais, complicações da hemorragia pós-parto podem afetar não apenas a mãe, mas também o recém-nascido, aumentando o risco de mortalidade neonatal e problemas de saúde a longo prazo. Portanto, é fundamental que a equipe da sala de parto esteja preparada para reconhecer e tratar rapidamente essa condição potencialmente fatal
