O caótico, o fantástico e o bizarro: duas gravuras de James Ensor na coleção de Murilo Mendes
This research starts from two engravings by belgian artist James Ensor (1860-1949), entitled The Singular Insects (1888) and King Pest (1895). These artworks are part of the collection of Murilo Mendes (1901- 1975) and, currently, integrate the collection of the Museum of Modern Art of the UFJF dedicated to poet. In this sense, three points are addressed: the artist, the engravings, and the poet. The main objectives of this dissertation are to better understand the figure of James Ensor, to study the two images of the artist and the rich universe that they present, and to analyze the relationship of Murilo Mendes with these engravings. In this third point, the affinity of the poet is notorious for issues that encompass the culture of the end of the century, especially with regard to the approach of the fantastic within reality. Such characteristic is a trademark of Ensor’s artworks, which lived within this culture of the end of the nineteenth century. To understand all these questions, the comparison between images and texts was of paramount importance, in order to demonstrate the presence of these cultural elements that are, sometimes, similar in the historical context of both the artist and the poet.Esta pesquisa parte de duas gravuras do artista belga James Ensor (1860-1949), intituladas Os insetos singulares (1888) e Rei Peste (1895).

Os principais objetivos dessa dissertação são compreender melhor a figura de James Ensor, estudar as duas imagens do artista e o rico universo que elas apresentam, e analisar a relação de Murilo Mendes com essas gravuras. Neste terceiro ponto, é notória a afinidade do poeta por questões que abarcam a cultura do fim do século, sobretudo no que diz respeito à abordagem do fantástico dentro da realidade. Tal característica é marca registrada nos trabalhos artísticos de Ensor, o qual viveu dentro desta cultura do fim do século XIX. Para compreender todas essas questões, a comparação entre imagens e textos se fez de suma importância, no intuito de demonstrar a presença desses elementos culturais que, por vezes, são semelhantes no contexto histórico tanto do artista quanto do poeta
CÁRIE DENTÁRIA EM TRABALHADORES DA INDÚSTRIA ATENDIDOS PELO SESI NO BRASIL E FATORES ASSOCIADOS
A cárie é um problema de saúde de alto impacto na indústria. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar e analisar prováveis fatores socioeconômicos, ocupacionais e individuais associados à ocorrência de cárie em trabalhadores da indústria. Foi realizado estudo de corte transversal em 1666 trabalhadores da indústria atendidos pelo Serviço Social da Indústria (SESI) no Distrito Federal, e seis estados brasileiros em 2011. Os dados socioeconômicos e referentes aos hábitos foram coletados durante a anamnese. A entrevista ao paciente ou consulta ao PPRA/PCMSO permitiram a coleta dos dados referentes ao risco ocupacional e foi realizado exame para cárie dentária segundo critérios da OMS. A análise multivariada de regressão logística pelo método Wald foi utilizada com nível de significância de 95%. Confirmou-se associação positiva à presença de cárie: exposição a agentes químicos (1,88; 95% IC= 1,41-2,51), permanecer no cargo por 6 anos ou mais (1,36; 95% IC= 1,10-1,68), necessitar do uso de próteses (OR= 2,11 IC95%:1,71-2,59). A implantação de programas de saúde bucal no ambiente laboral faz-se importante para tratamento dos problemas instalados e prevenção da ocorrência de novos danos à cavidade bucal
Disfunção temporomandibular e fatores associados em trabalhadores da indústria
Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência e fatores associados às Disfunções Temporomandibulares (DTM) em trabalhadores da indústria. Método: Estudo de corte transversal realizado com 1.252 trabalhadores da indústria atendidos pelo Serviço Social da Indústria (SESI), no Distrito Federal de seis estados brasileiros, em 2011. Os dados de risco ocupacional foram coletados na anamnese e entrevista ao paciente ou consulta ao PPRA/PCMSO. Adotou-se o Manual de Critérios do SESI para determinar a presença de DTM através de sinais e sintomas. Procedeu-se à análise multivariada de regressão logística, estimando o OR e Intervalo de Confiança a 95%, analisando o ajustamento pelo método da máxima verossimilhança. Resultados: Dos participantes, 15,50% apresentam algum sinal e sintoma de DTM. O ruído foi o sinal mais expressivo da ocorrência da DTM (10,14%). Observou-se associação com o sexo feminino (OR ajustado = 1,68; 1,19-2,35 IC 95%), raça/cor da pele negra/parda (OR ajustado = 1,76; IC 95%: 1,21-2,56), uso de tabaco (OR ajustado = 1,89; IC 95%: 1,18-3,04) e exposições ocupacionais a agentes físicos (OR ajustado = 1,81; IC 95%: 1,22-2,70) e ergonômicos (OR ajustado: 1,72; IC 95%: 1,18-2,51). Conclusão: Houve baixa prevalência de DTM na população da indústria. Encontrou-se associação estatisticamente significante com sexo feminino, fumante, etnia negra/parda e exposição a agentes físicos e ergonômicos no ambiente laboral, reforçando a importância da adoção de medidas preventivas para a melhoria da qualidade de vida do trabalhador
Personagens grotescos: paralelos entre James Ensor e Edgar Allan Poe
O artigo trata da relação entre a literatura, através de dois contos de EdgarAllan Poe, e a gravura de James Ensor. Partindo de um paralelo entre imagem e texto,refletimos como a característica do artista belga contribui para uma intensificação narepresentação dos personagens do escritor de forma grotesca. Como conseguinte,instaura na gravura um ambiente de terror e ferocidade muito maior do que outrosartistas ilustradores de Allan Poe conceberam
ABC-SPH risk score for in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients : development, external validation and comparison with other available scores
The majority of available scores to assess mortality risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in the emergency department have high risk of bias. Therefore, this cohort aimed to develop and validate a score at hospital admission for predicting in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients and to compare this score with other existing ones. Consecutive patients (≥ 18 years) with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to the participating hospitals were included. Logistic regression analysis was performed to develop a prediction model for in-hospital mortality, based on the 3978 patients admitted between March-July, 2020. The model was validated in the 1054 patients admitted during August-September, as well as in an external cohort of 474 Spanish patients. Median (25-75th percentile) age of the model-derivation cohort was 60 (48-72) years, and in-hospital mortality was 20.3%. The validation cohorts had similar age distribution and in-hospital mortality. Seven significant variables were included in the risk score: age, blood urea nitrogen, number of comorbidities, C-reactive protein, SpO/FiO ratio, platelet count, and heart rate. The model had high discriminatory value (AUROC 0.844, 95% CI 0.829-0.859), which was confirmed in the Brazilian (0.859 [95% CI 0.833-0.885]) and Spanish (0.894 [95% CI 0.870-0.919]) validation cohorts, and displayed better discrimination ability than other existing scores. It is implemented in a freely available online risk calculator (https://abc2sph.com/). An easy-to-use rapid scoring system based on characteristics of COVID-19 patients commonly available at hospital presentation was designed and validated for early stratification of in-hospital mortality risk of patients with COVID-19

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
