VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A MULHER: O CUIDADO PRÉ-NATAL E A IMPORTÂNCIA DA ATUAÇÃO HUMANIZADA

Objective: We aimed to analyze and identify the behaviors and strategies used by health professionals in the face of domestic violence during prenatal care. Results: It was observed in the literature that up to 59% of women, in various socioeconomic and cultural situations, will experience some moment of violence at least once in their lives, and it may be during the pregnancy period. It has been shown that the prevalence of physical violence in Brazil was 8% in the city of São Paulo and 11% in the Zona da Mata of the state of Pernambuco. According to the United Nations (UN), in 2016, Brazil was in 5th place in the world ranking of countries with the highest rates of violence against women. Final Considerations: Violence against women, in itself, is a complex and impactful social problem; when this violence happens during pregnancy, it is even more traumatic, with physical and psychological consequences not only for her but also for her children. The study demonstrated the importance of the humanized and holistic performance of health professionals who will accompany this pregnant woman, being fundamental to detect and intervene, aiming at a better quality of life.Objetivo: Se pretende analizar e identificar las conductas y estrategias utilizadas por los profesionales de la salud ante la violencia doméstica durante el prenatal. Resultados: Se observó en la literatura que hasta el 59% de las mujeres, en diversas situaciones socioeconómicas y culturales, experimentarán algún momento de violencia al menos una vez en su vida, y puede ser durante el período de embarazo. Se demostró que la prevalencia de la violencia física en Brasil era del 8% en la ciudad de São Paulo y del 11% en la Zona da Mata del Estado de Pernambuco. Según la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), en 2016, Brasil ocupó el 5º lugar en el ranking mundial de países con mayor índice de violencia contra las mujeres. Consideraciones finales: La violencia contra la mujer, en sí misma, es un problema social complejo y de gran impacto; cuando esta violencia ocurre durante el embarazo, es aún más traumática, con consecuencias físicas y psicológicas no sólo para ella sino también para sus hijos. El estudio demostró la importancia de la actuación humanizada y holística de los profesionales de la salud que van a acompañar a esta gestante, siendo esencial para detectar e intervenir, buscando una mejor calidad de vida.Objetivo: Objetiva-se analisar e identificar as condutas e estratégias utilizadas pelos profissionais de saúde diante da violência doméstica durante o pré-natal.

The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability

Chromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism. The genome also contains extensive but incomplete arrays of ORFs coding for proteins associated with mammalian pathogenicity, possibly involved in the occasional but often fatal cases of human C. violaceum infection. There is, in addition, a series of previously unknown but important enzymes and secondary metabolites including paraquat-inducible proteins, drug and heavy-metal-resistance proteins, multiple chitinases, and proteins for the detoxification of xenobiotics that may have biotechnological applications

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

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
