Public speaking: view from master's students in nursing

A comunicação é um instrumento básico de trabalho dos enfermeiros, no entanto falar em público é uma situação temida por muitos profissionais. Este trabalho teve como objetivos descrever as emoções sentidas pelos enfermeiros mestrandos e identificar como planejam a apresentação e o que consideram importante para falar em público. Participaram do estudo cinquenta enfermeiros matriculados no mestrado da EEUSP. A coleta de dados deu-se através de questionário com perguntas abertas. Os resultados mostraram que a ansiedade foi a emoção mais freqüente citada pelos enfermeiros, no planejamento o domínio do conteúdo foi o aspecto mais relatado e falar com clareza foi a característica mais valorizada para quem fala em público.Communication is a basic element of Nursing; still, speaking in public can be a frightening experience for many nurses. This article intends to study the emotions felt by Master's studentes in Nursing, identifying how they plan their presentation and whatthey consider important enough to reveal to the public. Fifty nurses who were enrolled in the Master's program at EEUSP participated in the study. Data was collected through a questionaire utilizing open-answer questions. Results showed that anxiety was the most frequent emotion related by. them. In the planning of a presentation, however confidence in the content of the speaker's text was the most important aspect, while speaking clearly appeared as the most valued characteristic in general

SSR and ISSR markers in assessing genetic diversity in Gallus gallus domesticus: a quantitative analysis of scientific production.

Poultry meat is a major source of animal protein in the world. Research indicates a high inbreeding rate derived from a relative absence of heterozygous subpopulations of chicken from different suppliers. Molecular markers can provide information for the genetic basis of chicken consumed in rural areas and help establishing a chicken database for product quality and warranty. The bibliometric research, comprises between 1994 and 2018, from five previously selected databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Web of Science, using the following descriptors: ?microsatellites?, ?SSR?, ?ISSR?, ?genetic variability? and ?genetic diversity?, all of them coupled to ?chicken? and/or ?birds? results in 66 scientific publications. The publications were then categorized according to their titles to the use of ISSR or SSR markers. They were also addressed by countries according first author cited. The publications data appointed that countries with the height production of poultry meat and hens are the most interested in the genetic diversity study of these species. The SSR markers, due to its more specific characteristic, are more frequently applied to genetic diversity assignment, compared to ISSR

Radiative corrections to the Chern-Simons term at finite temperature in the noncommutative Chern-Simons-Higgs model

By analyzing the odd parity part of the gauge field two and three point vertex functions, the one-loop radiative correction to the Chern-Simons coefficient is computed in noncommutative Chern-Simons-Higgs model at zero and at high temperature. At high temperature, we show that the static limit of this correction is proportional to $T$ but the first noncommutative correction increases as $T\log T$. Our results are analytic functions of the noncommutative parameter.Comment: Revised version with a new section on the gauge field three point vertex function adde

Cadastramento de doadores voluntários de Medula Óssea no REDOME

Anais do 35º Seminário de Extensão Universitária da Região Sul - Área temática: SaúdeO transplante de medula óssea consiste na substituição de uma medula óssea doente ou deficitária por células normais, com o objetivo de reconstituição de uma nova medula. Um fator que dificulta a realização do procedimento é a falta de doador compatível. Assim, quanto maior o número de novos doadores voluntários cadastrados no REDOME (Registro Brasileiro de Doadores Voluntários de Medula Óssea), maiores são as possibilidades de o paciente encontrar um doador compatível. Nosso projeto de extensão tem como objetivo a conscientização da população sobre o cadastramento de doadores voluntários de medula óssea nas regiões de Maringá, Cianorte e Paranavaí, por meio de campanhas de captação de doadores, palestras de conscientização e divulgação sobre a doação e o transplante de medula óssea. O projeto vem colaborando no crescimento do REDOME com doadores mais conscientes sobre a responsabilidade do cadastro no banco. Assim, nossa equipe deve continuar realizando o trabalho de conscientização da população, pois quanto maior o número de doadores, maior é a possibilidade de se encontrar um doador compatíve

The Monofunctional Catalase KatE of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri Is Required for Full Virulence in Citrus Plants

BACKGROUND: Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) is an obligate aerobic phytopathogen constantly exposed to hydrogen peroxide produced by normal aerobic respiration and by the plant defense response during plant-pathogen interactions. Four putative catalase genes have been identified in silico in the Xac genome, designated as katE, catB, srpA (monofunctional catalases) and katG (bifunctional catalase). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Xac catalase activity was analyzed using native gel electrophoresis and semi-quantitative RT-PCR. We demonstrated that the catalase activity pattern was regulated in different growth stages displaying the highest levels during the stationary phase. KatE was the most active catalase in this phase of growth. At this stage cells were more resistant to hydrogen peroxide as was determined by the analysis of CFU after the exposition to different H(2)O(2) concentrations. In addition, Xac exhibited an adaptive response to hydrogen peroxide, displaying higher levels of catalase activity and H(2)O(2) resistance after treatment with sub-lethal concentrations of the oxidant. In the plant-like medium XVM2 the expression of KatE was strongly induced and in this medium Xac was more resistant to H(2)O(2). A XackatE mutant strain was constructed by insertional mutagenesis. We observed that catalase induction in stationary phase was lost meanwhile the adaptive response to peroxide was maintained in this mutant. Finally, the XackatE strain was assayed in planta during host plant interaction rendering a less aggressive phenotype with a minor canker formation. CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirmed that in contrast to other Xanthomonas species, Xac catalase-specific activity is induced during the stationary phase of growth in parallel with the bacterial resistance to peroxide challenge. Moreover, Xac catalases expression pattern is modified in response to any stimuli associated with the plant or the microenvironment it provides. The catalase KatE has been shown to have an important function for the colonization and survival of the bacterium in the citrus plant during the pathogenic process. Our work provides the first genetic evidence to support a monofunctional catalase as a virulence factor in Xac

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
