One of the obstacles to achieving sustainable development is to formulate measurement mechanisms, such as sustainability indicators, which are key tools for monitoring and assessing progress towards sustainable development. The aim of this article is to analyze how soybean production influences the sustainability of municipalities in the State of Mato Grosso, through the construction of an ISPS Soybean Production Sustainability Index in 2010. The results showed that the social dimension was the one that most explained the total variability of the data. In relation to the individual impacts of the indicators, it was found that the harvested area is the one that most influences the variability of ISPS, followed by the Recovery Plan for Degraded areas and vulnerable to poverty. In this study, it is concluded through the proposed Soybean Production Sustainability Index, that soybean production contributes to the sustainability of the municipalities of the State of Mato Grosso, once the municipalities with higher soybean production such as Sorriso, Lucas do Rio Verde, Campo Novo do Parecis have a high level of sustainability.

The bacterium Serratia marcescens is one of the species that produces prodigiosin, a red pigment with characteristics of interest in the pharmaceutical, food and textile areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different nutritional parameters, and identify those that positively influence cell growth and pigment production in a species of Serratia marcescens isolated from a legume nodule. Initially, the tests were carried out in submerged fermentation using Luria Bertani broth (LB), being modified for the evaluation of different sources of carbon, nitrogen, temperatures and pHs. Sample readings were taken between 24 and 72 hours, measuring cell growth by optical density (OD) at 600 nm in a 96-well microplate and pigment production was performed by extracting the metabolite with the aid of methanol and subsequent reading in a spectrophotometer at 470 nm. As a result, the highest biomass production was obtained using sucrose and glucose as carbon sources, NH4Cl as nitrogen source, at a temperature of 25 °C and pH varying between 6.0 and 7.0. The highest pigment production occurred when soluble starch was used as a carbon source and NH4Cl as a nitrogen source, at a temperature of 25 °C and pH 8.0. We conclude that from the results obtained by evaluating the different nutritional parameters, it was observed that carbon sources such as sucrose and glucose stimulate the cell growth of Serratia marcescens but significantly inhibit the production of pigments, as well as the variation in pH levels.

Objective: to analyze the consumption of illegal and legal drugs and their consequences during pregnancy. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review article. the search was carried out in the databases of the VHL, Scielo, Lilacs, PubMED and Academic Google. The terms “Pregnancy complications”, “Illicit drugs” and “Pregnancy” were used as DeCs (Health Descriptors). original articles were included, indexed in the selected databases, in the languages: Portuguese and English; published between 2016 and 2021. Exclusion criteria were publications of theses, conference proceedings and the like, dissertations, monographs and articles that did not adhere to the theme. Results: It was found that among the most consumed legal drugs are alcohol and tobacco, among the illegal ones stand out marijuana, cocaine and crack. As for the consequences of use during pregnancy, it was identified that alcohol and tobacco are responsible for malformation, fetal alcohol syndrome, fetal hypoxia, low birth weight, premature birth, respiratory problems, neurological disorders, among others. In the mother, it causes gastric acidity, decreased respiratory protective reflexes, placental detachment, and premature birth. Crak and cocaine cause abortion, intrauterine growth retardation, and respiratory problems, hypertension, tachycardia and arrhythmia, heart attack and even death. Marijuana can lead to anancephaly. Final considerations: More studies addressing the topic, as well os workshops and lectures, are needed, with a focus on awareness of the consequences of drug use during pregnancy, which will bring positive results.

The use of plants with medicinal properties for fungi control has led to a continuous exploration of new compounds that could contribute towards promising studies in the development of new drugs and the knowledge of how this control is performed on microorganisms. The objective of this review has been to report on the potential use of medicinal plants to control the pathogenic fungi of a host of plants and animals, which can contribute to the achievement of new formulations for botanical fungicides. Many authors have demonstrated antifungal and general antimicrobial activities for Brazilian flora species through well-established methods, such as by microdilution, agar diffusion, and disk diffusion, while determining a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFC), and the inhibition potential of essential oils, extracts and fractions. In this review, 68 species were cited for occurring in Brazil, with 25 being in the north-northeastern part of the country. Thus, most studies about the antimicrobial activities of medicinal plants bring an ‘initial understanding’ of their potential, particularly of some species, genera, and even families. Nevertheless, more data that is exceedingly specific is mandatory by focusing on new and more accurate approaches, such as the action mechanisms, toxicity, the active components, and the verification of the existence of synergic effects. These criteria would be the minimum required to develop new natural products as alternative treatments for the various infectious pathologies that affect plants, animals, and human beings.

There are different options for botulinum neurotoxin such as A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Types A and B are the most used in dental practice. They can have a well-known controlled effect on muscle tissue. Botulinum toxin has become a medicine used for functional purposes in dentistry and recently used for facial cosmetic purposes. Its indication stands out in patients with masseter hypertrophy, among others. This academic work aims to describe, through a literature review, the use of botulinum toxin in cases of masseter hypertrophy. For that, a qualitative research of secondary source, descriptive with deductive method was used. The use of botulinum toxin for the treatment of masseter hypertrophy has been increasingly highlighted, as its application is very safe and efficient. However, studies that prove the importance of its use are still scarce.

The consumption of fiberis extrmely important, as its ingestion helps prevent diseases and regulate bowel function, so there is great interest ftom the food industry in the development of new products based on dietary fiber. The objetive of the present work was to elaborate and evaluate the acceptance of cookies made from apple flour. The study was carried out at the Biosaúde laboratory of the Don Bosco Catholic University, in Campo Grande – MS. The flour was prepared from apples from the same batch, dehydrated and crushed. In the cookies formulation, 45% of apple flour was used,which made up its base. The evaluation of the components and their quantity were carried out through chemical analysis, obtaining means and standard deviation. The sensory evaluation had 30 untrained judges, in which two tests were used during the research: the hedonic scale and the attitude or purchase intention scale. The results obtained presented an innovative cookies with apple flour, this one had a great response of acceptability index (85,08%), standing out in the purchase intentions. Through the data obtained, it is concluded that the product obtained can be commercially included under the sensory point of view, in addition to presenting an excellent nutritional profile, aiming at the treatment and prevention of diseases such as diabetes, dyslipidemia and intestinal disorders.

Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (DNTUI) or also known as Neurogenic Bladder (BN), refers to voiding disorders caused by neurological disorders in the Central or Peripheral Nervous System, where they cause changes in patients' voiding patterns, especially in the bladder innervations. sphincter, and in the filling or emptying phases. Among the physical therapy interventions, electrical stimulation is a viable form of treatment, with good results, easy application, low cost and no side effects. The objectives of this review is to investigate the effectiveness of electrical stimulation in patients with neurogenic bladder in various neurological disorders . The electronic databases PubMed and SciELO were used. 10 studies were selected to carry out this review. The results showed that electrical stimulation in the posterior tibial nerve was used in 70% of the studies, appearing in the majority, while the use of electrical stimulation in the parasacral nerve was mentioned in 30% of the articles. The most used frequency was 20Hz and the pulse width ranged between 200 and 500 μs. The results showed a decrease in neurogenic bladder symptoms, regression of urinary losses and had a impact on bladder filling time. Therefore, it has been shown that the posterior tibial and parasacral nerves, as they are easily accessible, help in carrying out the treatment of the neurogenic bladder, making it safe and painless.

Objective: Evaluate the effects from the Instrument Assist Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) Gustavo Pilon Concept, the instrumental method of myofascial manipulation, over the diaphragm muscle. Methodology: study accomplished with a volunteer from the feminine sex, with 21 years old, resident in the Uruguaiana/RS city. She underwent respiratory muscle strength assessment and a diaphragm ultrasound evaluation, before and after the intervention, in which were applied the myofascial instrumental release method technique, Gustavo Pilon Concept. Results: Regarding the respiratory muscle strength, translated by the Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and the maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), it was verified, respectively at 3 momentums (M1, M2, M3): MIP of 119cmH 2 O, 95cmH 2 O and 95cmH2O; MEP of 112cmH2O, 102cmH2O and 109cmH2O. Furthermore, in relation to the Muscle Thickness (MT), where formed 3 measures in each momentum, to know: M1 as MT of 2,4cm, 2,4mm and 2,4cm; M2 as MT of 2,4cm, 2,4cm and 2,3cm; also M3 as MT of 2,8cm, 2,8cm and 2,8cm. Conclusion: In the present study there was no increase in the respiratory muscle strength between the evaluated momentums. Regarding the diaphragm thickness, in only one intervention, was verified an improvement in the diaphragm muscle length.

Gingival recession (GR) can be defined as a condition in which migration occurs in the apical direction with consequent exposure of the cementoenamel junction and root surface. Periodontal plastic surgical techniques aim to improve the gingival phenotype and correct the morphology, position and dimensions of the gingival tissue. In recent years, in order to improve the results of these treatments, new resources related to the optimization of periodontal regeneration have been associated with gingival grafts. Whether or not it is an adjunct to surgical techniques for root coverage, the enamel-derived matrix (Emdogain â) has been increasingly incorporated into these treatments, as both its clinical applicability and its benefits are already supported. in scientific evidence. The aim of this study is to carry out an integrative literature review on the use of enamel-derived matrix (EMD) in periodontal plastic surgical procedures for the treatment of gingival recession. For the elaboration of the study, the PICO strategy and the search in the PubMed, MedLine and Scielo databases were used, using the following keywords: “enamel matrix derivatives”, “gingival retraction” and “subepithelial connective tissue graft”. From this search, 181 articles published between the years 2016 to 2021 were selected, and of this number, only 12 were used to perform the literature review. With this review, it was possible to conclude that EMD associated with subepithelial connective tissue grafts can increase the predictability of the covering therapy, which may favor a new periodontal insertion.

Objectives: To assess the knowledge level on euthanasia, orthothanasia and dysthanasia among medical students at universities in Aracaju; to analyze whether knowledge on euthanasia, dysthanasia and orthothanasia has been improved over the years in medical courses and to verify whether medical students agree/disagree with the practices of euthanasia, orthothanasia and dysthanasia. Methodology: Exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study; produced through a questionnaire applied to medical students at two universities in Aracaju. Data analyzed with descriptive statistics and significance level set at p <0.05. Results: 222 medical students participated (51% from public and 49% from private universities). Of these, 19% did not know how to define orthothanasia, 7% euthanasia and 17% dysthanasia. It was observed that from the 10th to the 12th period 15% knew how to define euthanasia, 15% dysthanasia and 16% orthothanasia. On approval, 54% approved of euthanasia, 74% of orthothanasia and 43% approved of dysthanasia without knowing its concept. Final considerations: Medical graduation is incipient in this issue, as a wrong definition is a basic indication of destructuring, causing daily unpreparedness. Agreeing/disagreeing with practices is influenced by knowledge, thus, almost half of the students approved dysthanasia without knowing its meaning, increasing the probability of future medical error, malpractice or other serious infractions. There is a decrease in correct answers for students who are about to graduate, showing that there are no interventions to improve knowledge throughout college. Including bioethical subjects about euthanasia, dysthanasia, orthothanasia and death process, and acting opportunities, indicate a good start in the interventions required.

Introduction: VAP is considered one of the main infections related to health care with increasingly higher rates in an ICU, these numbers can vary from 9% to 67% of all patients on prolonged or non-extended use of mechanical ventilation. General Objective: to know the challenges faced by dentists in preventing VAP in an ICU. Methodology: To carry out this study, we opted for a research in the modality of integrative literature review. Results and Discussion: the integration of the dentist in the multidisciplinary team working in the ICUs leads to the expansion of the professional's teaching and performance field, enabling the formulation and adaptation of guidelines and bundles, as they are the most qualified professionals in this area of knowledge. Final Considerations: The entire multidisciplinary health team allocated to the ICU's, including dentists, must act in accordance, adopting measures to prevent VAP in order to reduce the risks for its occurrence, always following an integrated line of care, thus reducing, the death rate of their patients.

The study aims to evaluate how the prior knowledge of health professionals about self-care in leprosy in the Family Health Strategies in the city of Icó-CE is presented. This is an exploratory field study with a quantitative and qualitative approach that was carried out during the months of January and February 2021 in the city of Icó, located in the Center-South region of the state of Ceará. The sample consisted of 11 health professionals who accompany patients with leprosy from eight Family Health Strategies in the city of Icó-CE, with a predominance of females (11.1% men and 88.8% women). It is noteworthy that 88.8% of respondents already had some course or knowledge about leprosy. The data obtained from this study are similar to the literature, revealing flawed educational and practical aspects about leprosy, which allowed to know the level of knowledge of health professionals about the disease, as well as to understand the repercussions that can be caused in the leprosy patients due to failure of health management in the process of continuing education and updates. Recognizing these limitations and having strategies to transform them in favor of continuous training in health education and updates among members of the interprofessional team are challenges to make it possible to make advances in the self-care practices and autonomy of the leprosy patient in relation to the treatment and disease.

Objective: to verify adherence to antiretroviral treatment and viral suppression, according to demographic, clinical and laboratory variables in patients seen at the HIV/AIDS outpatient clinic of HC-Unicamp in 2016. Method: cross-sectional study on the demographic, epidemiological and clinical profile of patients treated at the Outpatient Clinic of Infectious Diseases at Hospital Dia of the State University of Campinas Hospital de Clínicas to assess adherence to ART and any adverse events recorded in 2016. Results: of the 339 medical records sampled from PLWHA, 278 (82.0%) with regular use of antiretrovirals and 293 (86.4%) with undetectable viral load (<40 copies / mL). The multiple logistic models, age, clinical complications, and side effects of medications are associated with lower adherence to ART. Viral suppression was more significant among men, with older age and shorter diagnosis time, and less frequent in patients with clinical complications and adverse effects of the medication. Conclusion:  a greater integration between services can facilitate the rescue of PLWHA without clinical follow-up. The clinical management of complications and adverse drug events are relevant to treatment adherence and viral suppression in patients attending the services.

Social movements and manifestations in Brazil are quite dynamic, however, the studies that deal with these events have not always followed this dynamism and evolution. Due to globalization and the speed in the spreading of information, and disinformation, through the advent of digital communications, social movements and manifestations in Brazil, in line with Latin America, have the same trend of diversification and complexity. Not differently, the studies carried out about social movements in the state of Pernambuco are fruits of a very heterogeneous political conjuncture and that, historically, have particularities due to their historical/social conjuncture. In view of this heterogeneity, new proposals of behavioral analysis about the motivations that permeate the social movements in the state of Pernambuco aim at understanding the behaviors originating from these movements from a perspective that goes beyond the hegemony of the social sciences, using Artificial Intelligence. This scientific research aims to identify, as well as, analyze the behavior patterns of social movements in the state of Pernambuco, obtaining an understanding about these new configurations of organized civil society, explaining the multiple types of preventive actions that can be taken to avoid conflicts and mitigate risks. From this understanding, we seek to explore the analysis of risks with a tendency towards police confrontations, as well as, to explore the diversity of employment of military police troops in social movements in the state of Pernambuco.

It’s a well-known fact that universities have the power to change society. For this reason they are considered key actors of sustainable development. Education was highlighted in the 2030 Agenda increasing the number of papers pertaining to universities' role in this pursuit. This paper aims to understand how international research is being developed on the matter of sustainability in universities. For that, our methodology of choice was a bibliometric mapping followed by a systematic revision of published material on the topic. Our source for data was the Scopus platform.Results show us that the studies are mostly being developed from an academic perspective with sustainable competences aiming towards the students who are seen as the future professionals who will be making important decisions. From that we conclude that sustainable management of universities particularly focusing on development sustainable competencies is a research field that hasn’t been fully explored yet even though these institutions are recognized as catalysts for change and understood as having a key role on sustainable development.

Biofortification can be understood as a strategy to raise nutrients levels in vegetables edible structures, which can positively interfere in human diet. Biofertilizers are an interesting option in alternative production systems, as they can increase food nutritional quality and contribute to plant development, while aiding environment sustainability as natural products. The use of microalgae and humic acid as biofertilizers points to improvements in nutrients and biomolecules content in plants, however, their combined application is still unexplored. In that scenario, it was carried a study with onions about the influence of applications via root immersion in microalgae Scenedesmus subspicatus (Sc) and humic acid (HA) solutions, analyzing possible alterations of macro and micronutrients, total sugars, reducing sugar, free total amino acids, , total soluble solids,  soluble proteins and antioxidant capacity in the bulbs. Treatments consisted of one minute seedlings roots immersion from two onion cultivars in solutions containing microalgae and humic acid, and then transplanted to organic system field. There were used three concentrations: control, 0.3 g L-1 Sc + 0.3 g L-1 HA (3SH) and 0.6 g L-1 Sc + 0.6 g L-1 HA (6SH). Results show that the treatments with microalgae with humic acid association were able to increase the content of N, carbohydrates and soluble proteins, also elevating antioxidant activity in onion bulbs.

This study aims to assess the role of nurses in preventing puerperal infection associated with Cesarean surgery. Methodology: This is an integrative review, analytical and retrospective, with a qualitative approach. The first step is composed by the delimitation of the theme, which was defined as: Nursing Care in the prevention of Puerperal Infection in Cesarean Delivery, to answer the guiding question: What Nursing Care in the intra-hospital environment can prevent puerperal infection in childbirth Caesarean? Results: Through the analysis of the full texts, 07 articles were fully evaluated, which met the inclusion criteria set out in the methodology of this research. Final Considerations: It is concluded that there are associated risk factors that are determinant for Puerperal Infection in Cesarean Delivery and that the Nursing professional must adopt scientifically-based care for their applicability, as the nurse is responsible for managing the risks, notify adverse events, and mainly act in order to prevent and reduce infections in the hospital environment.

Its objective was to analyze how Physical Education teachers understand Law 10.639/03 and approach Afro-Brazilian culture in their classes. For this, a qualitative, descriptive and cross-sectional procedure was adopted. Ten Physical Education teachers from two public schools participated in the research. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and treated using the content analysis technique. The results indicated that most teachers are unaware of Law 10.639/03 and that they had no contact with it during their professional training. Of the most developed content during their classes, games stood out, followed by sports and dance, being the least mentioned ethnic-racial issue. Regarding the approach to the contents related to the Afro-Brazilian culture, only one teacher affirmed to work on such contents throughout the academic year and in the subject program. Of the difficulties mentioned, the prejudice of the school community in relation to the theme stood out, even though teachers consider it important to deal with these contents, especially due to the diversity, miscegenation and racial prejudice present in Brazilian society. Therefore, it was concluded that there are still gaps both in relation to teacher training (initial and continuing) and in terms of knowledge, legitimacy and applicability of Law 10.639/03 and the contents of Afro-Brazilian culture in the school environment.

For decades, HIV infection has affected people all over the world, regardless of social class, gender, sexual orientation, culture or age. More than half of the new reported cases of HIV infections that occur today affect young people aged 15 to 24 years. To guide this literature review, the following question was elaborated: In the literature analyzed, what are the main difficulties faced with regard to the prevention of HIV infection in the young Brazilian population? And the objective was to identify the contributing factors that hinder the prevention of the HIV virus in the young population in Brazil and the means used to approach this group. To achieve the research objective, we opted for the design of a narrative bibliographic research, using articles in Portuguese, covering the topic, available in full databases, published in the period from 2011 to 2021. It should be noted that the greatest difficulties in preventing the HIV virus in the young population are related to the vulnerabilities that this group is exposed to. As for the educational practices, all those presented in the review proved to be efficient, since innovative methods, seeking to draw the attention of the target audience, were well accepted and had the active participation of those involved. Finally, it was possible to observe that most of the productions published in the time frame proposed by this review are aimed at presenting the vulnerabilities of the young public to HIV, and that they highlight the importance of public policies more focused on this public.

Intestinal parasites are among the most prevalent infections in humans. A cross-sectional survey was performed in a Canutama, Amazonas state, Brazil, in order to estimate the prevalence of intestinal parasites. The detection of parasites in the feces was performed using the Lutz method. Demographic data and the characteristics of the households were collected using a questionnaire. The prevalence of parasites was 36.9%. Ascaris lumbricoides (7.14%) was the most prevalent. The absence of a sewage network, consumption of raw vegetables and raw meat are risk factors for contracting intestinal parasitosis. We reported a prevalence of intestinal parasites and determined some of the risk factors.
