The objective of the study was to analyze reasons of interest and lack of interest of dental students in the public labor market, under the bias of policies that induce (re) orientation of academic health education. Qualitative research, through recorded individual interview and guide script, with a sample defined by the saturation method, in a public university in Paraná was carried out in 2017. The thematic content analysis identified five categories: stability and professional career; experiences lived during training; work process in Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS); SUS user profile; social return. The experiences lived during the academic formation suggest to direct the profile of the desired job market. Still, the experience in the SUS work process seems to be able to develop a more critical and realistic view of the profession and the public sector, directing it to more assertive professional choices.

Cancer is one of the morbidities that most affect the population worldwide and is the cause of death for millions of people. In this sense, the present study aimed to detect associations between sleep disorders and other factors with Minor Psychic Disorders (PMD) in individuals with cancer treated at a specialized clinic in the interior of Bahia, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 205 individuals diagnosed with some type of cancer, who were being treated at the High Complexity Unit in Oncology (UNACON), in which the sociodemographic profile, health condition and lifestyle of the participants was drawn. from a form through an interview. The outcome was determined according to the presence of Minor Psychic Disorder (MPD). Simple and relative frequencies were obtained and comparability between groups was performed using Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, with a significance level of 5%. There was a predominance of females, prevalence of PMS of 63.44% among women (p=0.04), sedentary lifestyle, low education, income and presence of installed chronic disease. The study showed a positive and statistically significant association between insomnia and minor mental disorder, in addition to other factors found that are associated with the occurrence of these disorders. This survey was carried out among individuals undergoing antineoplastic treatment, which can be considered another factor for physical and psychological harm in these people's lives. 

The main objective of this paper is to investigate and report on the occurrence of foreignisms in the poems of AdalcindaCamarão, an Amazonian poet who lived for years in the United States. The research, in a wider sense, also seeks to reveal the possible motives underlying the author’s decision to write either mixing the two languages – Portuguese and English - or entirely in English. Other underlying purposes encompass the exploitation of the author's life and works aiming at identifying traces thatmight explain the blending of languages in her poems; discussing theories which approach cultural issues and seek to explain which phenomena are related to the events in her life at the in-between place [Braziland the United States]. The corpus of this study is constituted of a selectionof eight poems which deal with the themes of longing and homesickness, melancholy, love, religion, politics, history, and family. To carry out the research, the comparative method was used – a cognitive procedure that favors generalization or differentiation. As a conclusion, we emphasize that the poet gathered memories that, although dormant throughout her life, emerge, interrelate with the American life experience and manifest vividly in poems. The variety of themes approached in her poems and her personal experiencesin Brazil interlaced with those fromthe immersion into the American culture, reveal Adalcinda as a poet with a hybrid identity.

Bixa arborea and Bixa orellana, are two plant species of the Bixaceae family, with wide distribution in South America, and widely used by the traditional population. The species of the genus Bixa have a red to reddish pigment in the seeds, which has been used by native populations for a long time. The phytochemicals present in the seeds of Bixa orellana are also widely used in the food and textile industry (as a dye). Bixa arborea, in addition to the phytotherapic use of leaves, is also widely used in forest restoration and as a source of wood. In this context, it is extremely important to differentiate B. arborea from B. orellana by means of morphological diagnoses to better understand the characters that separate the two species. It also sought to analyze the morphological differences between B. arborea specimens, to assess the existence of hybrids in the analyzed population. For this, morphological diagnoses were carried out for both species. From this, it was possible to notice that the two species have many morphological similarities, differing basically from each other by the aspect of the fruit: B. arborea presented papulous fruits or partially covered by non-flexible spines with length ranging from 0.1-1.8 mm, while B. orellana presents fruits totally covered by flexible spines and with length varying from 4 to 9.6 mm. The average amount of seeds in the fruits of B. orellana was higher than that found in the fruits of B. arborea. Therefore, our work showed that the two species show phenotypic differences, which can be used to identify and differentiate one from the other.

One of the difficulties in the kale seedlings production in containers is to ensure the production of aboveground biomass with a limited portion of roots, restricted to a small volume of substrate. Thus, we investigated whether substrates with organic compost added to it associated with kale cultivars interfere in the quality of seedlings produced in a greenhouse. Here, we studied two kale cultivars and five substrates. The experiment was designed in randomized blocks, with treatments arranged in a bifactorial scheme (2 x 5), with three replications. We carried out the physical and chemical characterization of the substrates and evaluated attributes of the aerial part and root system of the kale seedlings. The results showed that the substrate with the highest water retention was the one without the addition of organic compost. The greater the proportion of organic compound added to the substrate, the higher the nitrogen, phosphorus and organic carbon values. Seedlings produced in the substrate with greater water retention capacity had better performance in relation to the morphology of the aerial part and the morphology of the root system. We conclude that seedlings of kale cultivars associated with substrates with higher water retention have better quality. Seedlings of the ‘Gaudina’ cultivar stand out for their better phytometric morphology, while seedlings of the ‘Manteiga’ cultivar have higher quality of root biomass.

Natural products with biological activity, such as essential oils, can be used in the search for and development of ecological herbicides as an alternative to reduce the damage caused by synthetic herbicides. This work to aimed to determine the chemical composition and phytotoxic properties of the essential oils, at concentrations of 3000, 1500, 750, 375 and 187.5 µg/mL, of four cultivars of Psidium guajava (guava) evaluated on germination and root growth of plant models Lactuca sativa and Sorghum bicolor, as well as in the L. sativa cell cycle.  Exposure to essential oils reduced germination and root growth in bioassays, especially at the highest concentration (3000 µg/mL). The essential oils interfered in the normal dynamics of the cell cycle of L. sativa at most concentrations, causing a decrease in the mitotic index and increasing of chromosomal alterations, evidencing aneugenic and clastogenic action. The biological activity of the oils was associated with the presence of sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes found here, such as caryophyllene oxide, (E) -caryophyllene, and limonene. Thus, the essential oils of cultivars of guava demonstrated the promising potential for use as natural herbicides.

Objective: To analyze the perception of students about the applicability of the Systematization of Nursing Care (SAE) in the realistic simulation scenario and how this process contributes to academic learning. Method: Integrative literature review on the use of realistic simulation as a tool for learning the systematization of nursing care.

Among the analyzed records, 42 showed the possibility of drug interactions, being 1% mild, 80% moderate and 19% severe; 40% at risk of respiratory and central nervous system depression and 12% at risk of decreased pharmacological action by enzymatic induction of carbamazepine. Conclusion: The study revealed a high number of potential drug interactions that can compromise the clinical conditions of the patient and/or their treatment, thus revealing the importance of the health team's clinical performance.

Leprosy is a chronic infectious and transmissible disease, of compulsory notification and investigation in the entire national territory. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of head and neck clinical presentations on the daily life of people affected by leprosy. This is an exploratory, descriptive study, using a qualitative approach, carried out at a reference health unit for leprosy treatment, in Maceió. A semi-structured form was applied regarding the impacts on the daily lives of the participants affected by leprosy. Six factors were identified, as they stood out regarding the impact of leprosy on the daily lives of these patients. This perception resulted in six thematic categories, namely: the Path taken to reach the diagnosis of leprosy; Experience and feelings of people affected by leprosy; Changes in social, family and professional life; Impact of the head and neck presentations of the disease on the daily lives of people affected by leprosy; social Stigma and environment; and, Overcoming the difficulties arising from the head and neck presentations of the disease. Thus, leprosy has a significant impact on the daily lives of people affected by the disease. Early diagnosis, proper treatment and continuous multiprofessional and qualified follow-up are extremely important.

The aim of the present study is to identify the evidence available in the literature about the practices carried out by the multidisciplinary team in palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic. It refers to an integrative literature review study carried out in the following databases: Nursing Database (BDENF), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Online System (MEDLINE) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Science of Health (LILACS). A temporal search was carried out for publications between the months of December 2020 and January 2021. The sample consisted of nine articles. The selected surveys were published in 2020, in English, and most of them were carried out in the United States of America (77.8%). As for the design of the studies, nine (100%) had a quantitative approach. After reading and summarizing the data, two categories emerged, namely: Practices and care provided to patients and families during the COVID-19 pandemic and Coping strategies by the multidisciplinary palliative care team. In this sense, the present study made it possible to understand the scarcity of physical and human resources observed during the worsening of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and, consequently, the impact on the continuity of practices carried out by the palliative care team.

Jelly is a type of candy that can be made with sour sugar and pectin. In order to use pepper and pineapple fruits, cultivated throughout the national territory, representatively in family farming, it is necessary to develop products that meet the needs of consumers. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality and preference of goat pepper jelly (Capsicum chinenses L.) under different concentrations. For the manufacture of pepper jelly, the fruits were collected in the horticulture sector of the IF Goiano - Campus Ceres and went through the sanitization process in chlorinated water. After this process, pepper jelly with pineapple was manufactured. Physical-chemical and microbiological analyzes were performed in the instrumental and microbiological laboratory, checking the qualitative level and contamination of the jelly. Then, a sensory analysis was performed with 50 untrained tasters, in order to assess the acceptability index. The treatments were (T1-0.2, T2-0.4, T3-0.6, T4-0.8) grams of goat pepper in each jelly produced. Data were submitted to the Tukey test at 5% probability, in the UFSCar electronic spreadsheet. The evaluated samples presented the number of NMP≤ 3, being within the microbiological standards. The results of the physicochemical analyzes show that the jelly is within the standards of the literature. The sensory analysis showed an acceptability index higher than 70%, with values ​​between 80% and 90%. The treatments (T1-0.2; T4-0.8) with the lowest and highest concentration of peppers were the ones that had the best preference.

Child pain management is complex due to children's communication limitations and has its starting point in an adequate pain assessment, however there is a range of pain assessment scales and professionals in difficulty in choosing the appropriate tool. Objective: build and validate an application for pain assessment in children based on the study of the available scales. Methodology: This is a descriptive study of experimental development. The research was carried out in the following stages: application development, validation by experts and data analysis. An exploratory review was carried out on the scales of pain assessment in children to support the application. The development of the application was carried out in partnership with a computing professional in order to provide a   friendly interface. Professional health specialists (doctors, nurses and physiotherapists) through a pre-established questionnaire containing information about the academic and professional training of the validators, and about the items to be validated carried out the validation. Results: For data analysis, the content validity index (CVI) was used, being considered valid when the item obtained CVI> 0.8. The experts have validated the application with a CVI of 1.0. Conclusion: The positive evaluation of the application demonstrates that it is a valid tool   and with good acceptance by health professionals involved in the care of pain in children and that, the incorporation of new technologies can optimize and facilitate the use of scales in the evaluation of pain in children.

Promoting the Culture of Peace is one of the essential components of child health and its approach to early childhood education. From the social challenges observed in teaching, research and university extension activities, the objective of knowing the perception of educators about strategies for a culture of peace in early childhood education emerged. Qualitative study, carried out in a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education, in an area of ​​social vulnerability in the city of Maceió-AL, from December 2019 to March 2020, with nine professionals in early childhood education, using Group technologies Focal for the evaluation of aspects related to the Culture of Peace. From the meetings, it was evident that the speeches converged into three categories: the concept of the culture of peace, working with the culture of peace at school and the construction of culture strategies of peace. The scarcity of studies and the difficulty in understanding the theme, as well as the importance of integrating education and the promotion of a culture of peace, were aspects that resulted in the suggestion of building a board game to support conflict resolution in a non- violent. The study pointed out contributions to the promotion of the Culture of Peace and playful strategies for the context of Early Childhood Education, as well as the need for further research to explore the theme.

The social inclusion of the deaf is a complex phenomenon that encompasses questions of a moral, conceptual, legal nature, among others. In this way, the main achievement of the deaf was, without a doubt, the officialization of their language as an official Brazilian language, which is a factor of identification, culture and socialization for the deaf. Sport, on the other hand, played a major role in the process of organization and subjective transformation of the deaf, which, in the context of Environmental Education, characterizes it as a tool for modifying the physical and psychosocial environments in which the deaf transit, as it promotes the self-esteem of the deaf. individuals, the autonomy of the groups and the recognition of the others. As sport is a tool for social inclusion, deaf people naturally perceive that there was a great contribution from sports practices in the process of organization and subjective transformation of these individuals. In this context, the Brazilian Confederation of Sports for the Deaf (CBDS) is an institution of immeasurable importance for the deaf in Brazil, but its history is not officially registered, nor is it fully known. For this reason, this study was an integrative, exploratory review of the quantitative and selective type. The Capes, Scielo and google academic databases were used. The relationship between physical exercise and deafness was analyzed, which are the limitations of the deaf in relation to physical activities, which are the difficulties encountered with the inclusion of the deaf in the exercise practices. In practice, there are still many inclusion difficulties, taking into account the lack knowledge of the sign language of professionals who work directly with the deaf. There are still many obstacles to be faced, as inclusion has barriers, and that will only be possible through an awareness of the population.

The present research aim was to assess how occlusal contacts change along the initial 6 months of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliance and clear aligners. A sample with 40 patients was divided into 2 groups: Clear Aligners (CA) and Fixed Appliance (FA). In order to register occlusal contacts, patients were posit and instructed about how bite in habitual maximum intercuspidation. Registrations were perfomed monthly along 6 starting treatment months and noted in an occlusogram. A parametric test was applied to evaluate data since it presented a normal distribution according to Shapiro-Wilk test. For inter- and intergroup data analysis the Anova test was performed with a 5% significance level. Statistical tests were executed on Jamovi software (Jamovi Stats, Version1.2, Sydeney, Australia). There was a reduction in the amount of occlusal contacts for indivduals from both groups, CA and FA. Such reduction was more significative in the 3 starting months for FA group and between 3rd and 4th months for CA group. Therefore, the sort orthodontic appliance had no significant influence over occlusal contacts.

Objective: To evaluate whether the use of ECMO in patients with respiratory distress in intensive care, compared to patients who did not undergo intervention, improves their prognosis. Methods: Systematic review performed on the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online platform, accessed by the Virtual Health Library and at PUBMED, database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Descriptors in Health Sciences in English were used: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, Critical Care, Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Clinical Trial, totaling 77 articles. The filters used involved the availability of the full text, in which 58 articles were presented, published from the year 2011, reaching 49 articles and randomized clinical studies, totaling 10 articles, and no duplicate documents were found in the eligible databases. Results: ECMO showed significant results and with morbidity and mortality rates well below compared to conventional treatments, although, in some situations, it is limited, requiring the use of adjuvant therapies, preventive and intensive care, which together result in a greater chance of survival and guarantees an exponential increase in prognosis improvement. Conclusion: It was analyzed that ECMO therapy showed significant results and with morbidity and mortality well below conventional therapies. Although these results are positive for the use of ECMO, in some situations it is limited, requiring the use of adjuvant therapies.

Water is a necessary asset for all living beings, recognised by the UN as a fundamental right. Thus, public policies play an essential role, both to ensure supply and preservation. Thus, this work sought to understand and analyze the various factors that contribute to drinking water reaching the population. To carry it out, data from bibliographic sources were used, such as scientific articles, discussions on the theme, data from research bodies such as: IBGE, ANA, INPE among others. We noticed the lack of basic sanitation structures in many regions of the country and the population's lack of awareness about the responsible use of water. We also consider that agricultural and industrial production contributes to the contamination of water through the disposal of waste, pesticides or even chemicals that contaminate the soil, rivers and springs. At the same time anthropic actions such as burning and deforestation have great relevance in environmental conditions and have historically contributed to droughts. The study also indicated that the search for sustainability goes through the environmental conservation of water resources, which despite public policies bringing in their documents laws and guidelines about their use as well as their preservation, we are still far from guaranteeing this asset to future generations, because the culmination of the achievement of these goals goes through the awareness of the population. Conditions that will mitigate the impacts on the environment, seeking sustainable alternatives, an important path to be considered is environmental education that does not occur only in school but throughout society.

Mouthguards are intraoral devices that aim to prevent dental and maxillofacial trauma resulting from sports practice. As it is an interocclusal device, it is necessary to understand and know if it can interfere with the athlete's body balance, considering that the existence of the relationship between the temporomandibular system and postural control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of individualized mouthguards on balance, head, jaw and shoulder posture of athletes and extract their account of the perception of use regarding possible changes in balance, body posture and sports performance. This study is a non-randomized clinical trial that included 65 athletes assisted by spontaneous demand at the Sports Dentistry Outpatient Clinic of the Dentistry School of the University of São Paulo (FOUSP). The use of individualized mouthguards had a significant influence on the variable glabellation distance (p=0.005). Regarding the report of the perception of use, 75.68% reported changes in balance and 70.28% in body posture, 70.28% reported improvement in performance and 67.56% improvement in sports gesture. It is concluded that the use of individualized mouthguards causes more confidence in athletes in the execution of exercises and, consequently, in sports performance.

Brazil has high mortality rates resulting from traffic accidents, and the vast majority from motorcycle collisions. In order to understand the impact of alcohol use on traffic accidents, this study aimed to characterize the prevalence of traffic accidents caused by alcohol consumption, as well as to carry out a survey of traffic accident rates among people with levels of varied ages. This is a descriptive, documentary study with a quantitative approach carried out in a Hospital in the city of Caxias-MA, with the files of patients of different ages, who have suffered traffic accidents between the dates of August 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019. The results confirm that 457 records of traffic accidents were analyzed, among them, 165 belong to patients aged between 12 and 20 years, thus representing 36% of the total data present, in which 93 people did alcohol use, a percentage sample of 53.3% of the total, 4.2% in August, 9.7% in September, 13.9% in October, 7.8% in the month of November and 20.6% in December. It can be concluded that the use of alcohol considerably increases the rate of traffic accidents, with adolescents as the main victims, in view of some factors such as: inexperience, lack of license and recklessness.

Adolescence is defined chronologically by the World Health Organization (WHO) to characterize individuals who are between 10 and 19 years old. This study aimed to carry out a narrative review on the dietary profile of adolescents. This is a qualitative research, using a bibliographic analysis of a narrative character carried out by consulting online research databases: Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library OnLine), BVS (Virtual Health Library), and Academic Google, where the research was carried out with the time frame from 2016 to 2021. As a result, it was found that the diet of adolescents is mostly composed of fat, sodium and simple sugars, which are accompanied by a sedentary lifestyle. Adolescents' diet is basically composed of foods rich in sugar and high in fat, low consumption of fruits and vegetables, which favors weight gain above the ideal and greater likelihood of developing Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases. It is concluded in this aspect, adolescents have mainly consumed processed and ultra-processed industrialized products, decreasing their physical health and psychology and increasing the problem of obesity worldwide. These products have affordable prices and are widely publicized in the media, giving the false feeling that they can be consumed freely without causing harm to health.
