MEMÓRIA(S) DO PROCESSO DE EXPANSÃO DE UMA INSTITUIÇÃO ESCOLAR: ESCOLA TÉCNICA FEDERAL DA BAHIA - UNIDADE DE ENSINO DESCENTRALIZADA DE VITÓRIA DA CONQUISTA

Após completar cem anos de Educação Profissional, em 2009, as escolas da rede federal brasileira passaram por reformulações na sua estrutura: de Escola de Aprendizes e Artífices até os atuais Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia. Dentro dessas transformações, nasceu a Unidade de Ensino Descentralizada (UNED) de Vitória da Conquista - Ba, na década de 1990. Esta pesquisa objetivou estudar o movimento de implantação dessa instituição escolar observando o seu contexto sócio-histórico e econômico e as múltiplas relações que ali ocorreram. Analisamos o processo de expansão da Escola Técnica Federal da Bahia, destacando os antecedentes, a implantação propriamente dita e os primeiros anos de funcionamento da Unidade Descentralizada de Ensino de Vitória da Conquista, por meio das memórias construídas pelo seu grupo de fundadores. Os resultados indicaram que ao longo do processo de instituição da escola, foram constituídas memórias pessoais e coletivas em conformidade com os lugares que os sujeitos ocupam, configurando assim, a história e memória social da UNED de Vitória da Conquista, o que evidencia a relação dialógica existente entre elas

Relationship between emotion and health: a two-way street

Emotional reactions impact on people's health and quality of life. With the advent of neuroscience in the 1990s, much research has focused on the relationship between neural circuits and emotional reactions. In this sense, we have identified a 2031% growth in research linking emotions and health between 1990 and 2022. Using the Text mining tool called "Biotext Tools", we performed a literature search, focusing on diseases of old age and covid-19. Emotion molecules (EMs), produced by the endocrine system, impact the homeostasis of the body, affecting the biological balance of the body. We related the EMs with diseases of the elderly and Covid-19, in order to analyze the impact of emotional states on the development and treatment of these pathologies. To this end, the bidirectional relationship between anxiety, depression, heart disease, stroke, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases was analyzed. Finally, Coronavirus severity and mortality levels were related to cortisol, testosterone, and serotonin levels

Association of CYP1A1 A4889G and T6235C polymorphisms with the risk of sporadic breast cancer in Brazilian women

OBJECTIVES:We examined the influence of CYP1A1 A4889G and T6235C polymorphisms on the risk of sporadic breast cancer.METHODS:DNA from 742 sporadic breast cancer patients and 742 controls was analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction, followed by the restriction fragment length polymorphism technique.RESULTS:More patients had the CYP1A1 4889AG+GG genotype compared to controls (29.0% versus 23.2%, p=0.004). The G allele carriers had a 1.50-fold increased risk (95% CI: 1.14-1.97) of sporadic breast cancer compared to the other study participants. The frequency of the 4889AG+GG genotype among the Caucasian patients was higher than in the non-Caucasian patients (30.4% versus 20.2%, p=0.03) and controls (30.4% versus 23.2%, p=0.002). Caucasians and G allele carriers had a 1.61-fold increased risk (95% CI: 1.20-2.15) of sporadic breast cancer compared to other subjects. The CYP1A1 4889AG+GG genotype was more common among patients with a younger median age at first full-term pregnancy than among controls (33.8% versus 23.2%, p=0.001) and subjects whose first full-term pregnancies occurred at an older age (33.8% versus 26.1%, p=0.03). Women with the CYP1A1 4889AG+GG genotype and earlier first full-term pregnancies had a 1.87-fold (95% CI: 1.32-2.67) increased risk of sporadic breast cancer compared to the other study participants. Excess CYP1A1 4889AG+GG (39.8% versus27.1%, p=0.01) and 6235TC+CC (48.4% versus 35.9%, p=0.02) genotypes were also observed in patients with grade I and II tumors compared to patients with grade III tumors and controls (39.8% versus 23.2%, p=0.04; 48.4% versus 38.6%, p=0.04). The G and C allele carriers had a 2.44-fold (95% CI: 1.48-4.02) and 1.67-fold (95% CI: 1.03-2.69) increased risk, respectively, of developing grade I and II tumors compared to other subjects.CONCLUSIONS:The CYP1A1 A4889G and T6235C polymorphisms may alter the risk of sporadic breast cancer in Brazilian women

Association of CYP1A1 A4889G and T6235C polymorphisms with the risk of sporadic breast cancer in brazilian women

We examined the influence of CYP1A1 A4889G and T6235C polymorphisms on the risk of sporadic breast cancer. DNA from 742 sporadic breast cancer patients and 742 controls was analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction, followed by the restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. RESULTS: More patients had the CYP1A1 4889AG + GG genotype compared to controls (29.0% versus 23.2%, p=0.004).
