Discursos de gênero e saúde: Debatendo a PNAISH com seus usuários

The objective of this study was to confront man’s body as conceptualized by PNAISH with man’s body performatized by male users of this policy in Basic Health Care (BHC) in Belo Horizonte. Using speech analysis and the theory of gender perfomativity, the corpus derived of the interviews with 9 men who use the BHC services was analyzed. The results highlighted gender performance which, consistent with PNAISH, is based on a genitalized body as a way of care resistance, as well as gender performance that transgress the perspectives of this policy. This study sought to encourage discussions about difficulties of men´s integration to health policies.Este trabalho visa confrontar o corpo instituído pela PNAISH com os corpos performatizados pelos usuários dessa política na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) de Belo Horizonte. Através da Análise do Discurso e da teoria da performatividade de gênero, analisou-se o corpus proveniente de entrevistas com 09 homens que utilizam os serviços da APS. Os resultados evidenciam, tanto performances de gênero que, consonantes com a PNAISH, se pautam no corpo genitalizado como forma de resistência ao cuidado; quanto performances de gênero que transgridem as perspectivas desta Política. Procurou-se fomentar as discussões sobre as dificuldades de integração de homens às políticas de saúde

Espesor del músculo aductor del pulgar en adolescentes brasileños y asociaciones con el estado nutricional, la maduración sexual y la actividad física (Estudio EVA-JF)

Objective: The present study aims to assess the associations of adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) with age, skin color, sexual maturation, anthropometric indicators and physical activity in Brazilian adolescents. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study of adolescents aged 14-19 years. Weight, height, body mass index (BMI), arm circumference (AC), APMT, body fat, fat-free mass (FFM), fat-free mass index (FFMI), sexual maturation, time of physical activity and skin color were evaluated. APMT was associated with categorical variables using Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis tests and correlated with anthropometric variables using Spearman’s correlation. Linear regression was used with APMT as a dependent and the other variables as predictors. Data analysis was carried out in SPSS® software (version 17.0) with a 5% significance level. Results: 828 adolescents were evaluated, 57.6% female, with a mean age of 16.13 ± 1.20 years. APMT had an average value of 18.0 mm in females and 21.0 mm in males. The measure was greater in males, in more advanced stages of sexual maturation, overweight and physical activity. It presented a moderate correlation with FFM, FFMI, body fat and AC. In the final model of multiple linear regression for females, the variables AC and body fat explain 20.1% of the APMT variability. For men, the variables AC and FFMI explain 30.5% of the APMT variability. Conclusion: It is recommended that APMT be used in a complementary manner in the nutritional assessment of adolescents.Objetivo: El presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar las asociaciones del grosor del músculo aductor del pulgar (EMAP) con la edad, el color de la piel, la maduración sexual, los indicadores antropométricos y la actividad física en adolescentes brasileños. Material y métodos: estudio transversal con adolescentes de 14 a 19 años. Peso, talla, índice de masa corporal (IMC), circunferencia del brazo (CB), EMAP, grasa corporal, masa libre de grasa (MLG), índice de masa libre de grasa (IMLG), maduración sexual, tiempo de actividad física y color de piel fueron juzgado. EMAP se asoció con variables categóricas mediante pruebas de Mann-Whitney o Kruskal-Wallis y se correlacionó con variables antropométricas mediante la correlación de Spearman. Se utilizó regresión lineal con EMAP como variable dependiente y el resto de variables como predictores. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante el software SPSS® (versión 17.0) con un nivel de significancia del 5%. Resultados: se evaluaron 828 adolescentes, 57,6% mujeres, con una edad media de 16,13 ± 1,20 años. EMAP tuvo un valor promedio de 18.0 mm en mujeres y 21.0 mm en hombres. La medida fue mayor en varones, en estadios más avanzados de maduración sexual, sobrepeso y practicantes de actividad física. Presentó una correlación moderada con MLG, IMLG, grasa corporal y CB. En el modelo final de regresión lineal múltiple para mujeres, las variables CB y grasa corporal explican el 20,1%; para los hombres, las variables CB y MLG explican el 30,5% de la variabilidad EMAP. Conclusión: Se recomienda que EMAP se utilice de forma complementaria en la valoración nutricional de adolescentes

Análise de medidas repetidas na avaliação de clones de café 'Conilon'

The objective of this work was to evaluate the production of fi fty clonal varieties coffee 'Conilon' (Coffea canephora), through the repeated measure methodology in order to identify and cluster them to obtainmore productive genetic materials and to model, simultaneously, the correlation between subsequent years. The infl uence of productive cycles was effi ciently regarded in the analysis by modeling the correlations between successive records of the genetic materials of fi ve years (1997 to 2001), through this statistical methodology. The repeated measure analysis showed annual oscillations over the cycles of C. canephora, related to the largest productions in the third and forth years. Moreover, the cluster analysis grouped the 50 clones into 10 groups, according to standard production oscillations identifi ed through the adopted regression model.O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a produção de 50 clones de café 'Conilon' (Coffea canephora), por meio da análise de medidas repetidas, para identifi cá-los e agrupá-los para a formação de variedades maisprodutivas e, simultaneamente, modelar possíveis oscilações da produção ao longo do tempo. A infl uência de ciclos produtivos foi considerada, tendo-se modelado as correlações existentes entre anos subseqüentes, de forma efi ciente, por meio da metodologia de análise de medidas repetidas, para avaliar produções dos materiais genéticos em cinco safras (1997 a 2001), o que possibilitou captar oscilações anuais na produção, ao longo do ciclo produtivo de C. canephora, relacionadas às maiores produções no terceiro e quarto anos. Além disso, a análise de grupo classifi cou os 50 materiais avaliados em apenas 10 grupos, de acordo com o padrão deoscilação da produção identifi cado pelo modelo de regressão adotado

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
