RESUMO

Several technological approaches have been used to develop vaccines against COVID-19, including those based on inactivated viruses, viral vectors, and mRNA. This study aimed to monitor the maintenance of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in individuals from Brazil according to the primary vaccination regimen, as follows: BNT162b2 (group 1; 22) and ChAdOx1 (group 2; 18). Everyone received BNT162b2 in the first booster while in the second booster CoronaVac, Ad26.COV2.S, or BNT162b2. Blood samples were collected from 2021 to 2023 to analyze specific RBD (ELISA) and neutralizing antibodies (PRNT50). We observed a progressive increase in anti-RBD and neutralizing antibodies in each subsequent dose, remaining at high titers until the end of follow-up. Group 1 had higher anti-RBD antibody titers than group 2 after beginning the primary regimen, with significant differences after the 2nd and 3rd doses. Group 2 showed a more expressive increase after the first booster with BNT162B2 (heterologous booster). Group 2 also presented high levels of neutralizing antibodies against the Gamma and Delta variants until five months after the second booster. In conclusion, the circulating levels of anti-RBD and neutralizing antibodies against the two variants of SARS-CoV-2 were durable even five months after the 4th dose, suggesting that periodic booster vaccinations (homologous or heterologous) induced long-lasting immunity.

RESUMO

AIMS: The present study aimed to use a conventional and metagenomic approach to investigate the microbiological diversity of water bodies in a network of drainage channels and rivers located in the central area of the city of Belém, northern Brazil, which is considered one of the largest cities in the Brazilian Amazon. METHODS AND RESULTS: In eight of the analyzed points, both bacterial and viral microbiological indicators of environmental contamination-physical-chemical and metals-were assessed. The bacterial resistance genes, drug resistance mechanisms, and viral viability in the environment were also assessed. A total of 473 families of bacteria and 83 families of viruses were identified. Based on the analysis of metals, the levels of three metals (Cd, Fe, and Mn) were found to be above the recommended acceptable level by local legislation. The levels of the following three physicochemical parameters were also higher than recommended: biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. Sixty-three bacterial resistance genes that conferred resistance to 13 different classes of antimicrobials were identified. Further, five mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance were identified and viral viability in the environment was confirmed. CONCLUSIONS: Intense human actions combined with a lack of public policies and poor environmental education of the population cause environmental degradation, especially in water bodies. Thus, urgent interventions are warranted to restore the quality of this precious and scarce asset worldwide.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite the advancements in knowledge about health care for older adults, essential gaps persist regarding the effects of chronic diseases as epidemiological markers of the state of functional dependence. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of moderate and severe functional dependence in Brazilian older adults and its association with chronic diseases and verify the multimorbidity patterns by dependence status. METHODS: This cross-sectional analytical study used data from 11,177 community-dwelling Brazilian older adults from the 2013 National Health Survey conducted in Brazil. The dependent variables were moderate and severe functional dependence in basic activities of daily living (BADLs) and instrumental ADLs (IADLs). The independent variables were defined based on the questions applied to measure each morbidity in a self-reported manner and asked, "Has a doctor ever diagnosed you as having (each disease)? Multimorbidity was simultaneously considered present for older adults with ≥ 2 chronic morbidities. The association between functional dependence on BADLs and IADLs separately by severity and the independent variables was verified from crude and adjusted estimates of the point prevalence ratios and their 95% confidence intervals using the regression model Poisson with robust variance. To group diseases into patterns, exploratory factor analysis was used. RESULTS: The prevalences of moderate and severe BADL dependence were 10.2% (95% CI, 9.6-10.7) and 4.8% (95% CI, 4.4-5.2), respectively. Moderate and severe IADL dependence prevalences were 13.8% (95% CI, 13.1-14.4) and 15.6% (95% CI, 14.9%-16.2), respectively. When changing the condition from moderate to severe dependence in BADLs, in the presence of other mental illnesses and stroke, the probability of dependence increased more than four times in the case of other mental illnesses and more than five times for stroke. There was a linear trend for dependence severity, both moderate and severe, whereas, for severe dependence on IADLs, this same factor maintained a linear trend toward an increase in probability as the number of diseases simultaneously increased. CONCLUSIONS: Chronic diseases are associated with functional dependence, with greater emphasis on mental illnesses and stroke in severe disability, considering their acute adverse effects.

RESUMO

In this investigation, fecal specimens from children with diarrhea were collected from four community studies conducted between 1982 and 2019 in Belém, Brazilian Amazon. A total of 234 samples were tested by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect infections by picornaviruses of the Enterovirus (EV), Parechovirus (HPeV), Cosavirus (HCoSV), Kobuvirus (Aichivirus - AiV) and Salivirus (SalV) genera. The positive samples were subjected to different amplification protocols of the VP1 region of the genome, such as nested PCR or snPCR, and were subsequently genotyped by sequencing VP1 and VP3 of the viral genome. Positivity was observed in 76.5% (179/234) of the samples tested using RT-qPCR for at least one virus, and co-infection was observed in 37.4% (67/179) of the cases. EV was detected in 50.8% (119/234), HPeV in 29.9% (70/234), HCoSV in 27.3% (64/234), and AiV/SalV in 2.1% (5/234) of the specimens tested by RT-qPCR. Using nested PCR and/or snPCR techniques, the positivity rates were 94.11% (112/119) for EV, 72.85% (51/70) for HPeV, and 20.31% (13/64) for HCoSV. It was not possible to amplify the samples that were positive for AiV/SalV. Sequencing revealed 67.2% (80/119) EV, 51.4% (36/70) HPeV, and 20.31% (13/64) HCoSV. Forty-five different types of EV were found among species A, B, and C; HCoSV identified five species, including a possible recombinant strain; all HPeV were identified as belonging to species A, in two samples a possible recombination involving three different strains was verified. This study demonstrated the high circulation and diversity of different types of picornaviruses in fecal samples, including those collected more than 30 years ago. This endorsed the evaluation of important points in the epidemiology of these viruses, such as the presence of co-infection and the possibility of knowing more about these agents, considering that some were recently described; therefore, their detection in older samples can provide more data about their ancestry.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To understand the professional identity of Mental Health Nurses. METHOD: Qualitative research, based on Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, conducted between October 2019 and April 2020, with sixteen Nurses working in the field of Mental Health, located in two municipalities of the State of Bahia, Brazil. The Phenomenological Interviewwas used to produce the data, which, after transcription, was submitted to analysis using the Analytics of Ambiguity. RESULTS: We outlined the categories: From Classical Psychiatry to Psychosocial Care;Identity leap mediated by the experience of the body itself. We understand that the know-how of Mental Health Nursing is being built in the intersubjectivity with users and the multiprofessional team. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Although the Nursing performance reveals ambiguities that show the transition between Classical Psychiatry and Psychosocial Care, it proved to be powerful to make the "identity leap", a transcendence that shows how much this experience enables acting in Mental Health.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Orienteering is a sport that stands out for its pedagogical and formative potential because it includes physical, cognitive and social aspects that contribute to the integral education of students. Its reproduction or recreation in the school context can be a concrete experience of transformation and stimulus to the student leadership actions. The present study aims at showing the possibilities of inserting Orienteering in school units over the years of Basic Education by presenting it as a model of educational sport. This is a descriptive study with propositional characteristics. The specificities of this sport are shown based on Pierre Bourdieu's relational perspective, the analytical model of the 5E's proposed by Wanderley Marchi Júnior, and on the document analysis of the National Common Curricular Base. The pedagogically rich content that could be included in Physical Education classes is emphasized.

RESUMO

RESUMO A Constituição Federal de 1988 atribuiu ao Estado o dever de fomentar as práticas esportivas. A normatização do texto constitucional culminou com a Lei Pelé, que concedeu autonomia aos entes federativos na organização dos seus sistemas esportivos. Em 2018, o Estado do Paraná apresentou um conjunto de diretrizes ao esporte estadual na Política de Esportes do Paraná. Esse estudo exploratório e documental tem o objetivo de analisar como o governo paranaense vem exercendo a sua autonomia relativamente à Lei Pelé e o que pode ser evidenciado sobre sistemas e subsistemas esportivos na sua política. O ponto central está nos conteúdos da "Lei Pelé" e da "Política de Esportes do Paraná". O Modelo Advocatício de Coalizão (Advocacy Coalition Framework) subsidiou a análise e discussão. A investigação permitiu identificar elementos que evidenciam o sistema esportivo do Paraná, mas revelou falta de referências sobre subsistemas esportivos e pouca aderência à Lei Pelé.

ABSTRACT The Federal Constitution of 1988 assigned to the State the duty of promoting formal and non-formal sports practices. The regulation of the constitutional text culminated with the Pelé Law, which granted autonomy to federal entities in the organization of their sports systems. The State of Paraná presented a set of guidelines for state sports in the Sports Policy of Paraná, in 2018. The objective of this study was to identify evidence on local sports systems and subsystems as well as the possible intersections with the federal law. It is an exploratory research, having as reference the Pelé Law and the Paraná Sports Policy. For analysis we used the Coalition Advocacy Model and the concepts of vertical and horizontal coordination in public policies. The study allowed us to identify elements that evidence the sports system of Paraná, but revealed lack of references on the existence and functioning of sports subsystems and little alignment or adherence to the Pelé Law.

RESUMO

O objetivo foi verificar se o histórico de colonização das diferentes regiões de Santa Catarina se reflete na distribuição atual dos grupos folclóricos do estado. Os dados quantitativos foram retirados da listagem fornecida pela Fundação Catarinense de Cultura. Para as informações históricas, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica. Estão registrados 182 grupos folclóricos distribuídos por 74 cidades. A etnia mais abundante foi a alemã, seguida pela luso-açoriana, e então italiana, gaúcha, de outros países europeus, grupos mistos, afrobrasileiros e outros. Os grupos luso-açorianos se concentram no litoral, o que concorda com o fato de terem sido responsáveis pela colonização mais antiga. Para os alemães e demais europeus, foram geograficamente observadas as duas principais ondas de imigração historicamente registradas: primeiro no nordeste e vale do Itajaí e posteriormente no oeste. Percebeu-se que a distribuição de grupos folclóricos de cada etnia tem relação com o processo de colonização das diferentes regiões.

The objective was to verify if the colonization history of different regions of Santa Catarina is reflected on the current distribution of the folkloric groups of the state. The quantitative data were taken from the list provided by the Fundação Catarinense de Cultura. For the historical information, a bibliographic review was done. There are 182 groups registered, distributed on 74 cities. The most abundant ethnicity was German, followed by Portuguese-Azorean, Italian, gaúcha, other European countries, mixed groups, African-brazilian and others. The Portuguese-Azorean groups concentrate on the coast, what agrees with the fact they were responsible for the oldest colonization. For the Germans and other Europeans, the two main colonization waves historically registered were geographically observed: first on the northeast and Itajaí's valley and after on the west. It was perceived that the distribution of the folkloric groups of each ethnicity is related to the colonization process of the different regions.

RESUMO

Os jogos eletrônicos se desenvolveram durante os anos, sendo conhecidos por muito tempo como um tipo de atividade recreacional e de lazer. O crescimento da internet possibilitou o surgimento de um novo cenário, em que alguns jogadores puderam se profissionalizar, originando o e-Sport. Objetiva-se apresentar um histórico sobre o desenvolvimento dos jogos eletrônicos e sua passagem de uma prática de lazer para uma atividade esportiva profissional. Conclui-se que a disseminação dos e-Sports se deve às características modernas, dinâmicas e distintivas que os esportes eletrônicos têm adquirido, à vasta procura e, consequentemente, oferta da prática, sendo visível a presença dos processos de mercantilização, espetacularização, amadorismo, institucionalização e profissionalização que os e-Sports passaram e passam, com cada processo não ocorrendo de forma linear um com o outro, mas sim interconectados.

Electronic games have been growing over the past several years, being known as a type of recreational and leisure activity. The growth and development of broadband services enabled a new scenario, allowing professional players to emerge, therefore, making the development of electronic sports possible, also known as e-Sport. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present the history about the development of electronic games and their transition from leisure to professional sports. It was found that the growth of e-Sports is due primarily to modern, dynamic and even distinctive characteristics that e-Sports have acquired, the demand and, consequently, the offer of its practice, being visible the presence of the commercialization, spectacularization, amateurism, institutionalization and professionalization processes, each one occurring not in a linear time frame, but interconnected.

RESUMO

The determination of the levels of solar radiation incident on the terrestrial surface (W·m-2) is essential for several areas such as architecture, agriculture, health, power generation, telecommunications, and climate forecasting models. The high cost of acquiring and maintaining radiometric equipment makes it difficult to create and expand monitoring networks. It contributes to the limited Brazilian radiometric network and affects the understanding and availability of this variable. This paper presents the development of a new surface solar radiation measurement system based on silicon photodiodes (Si) with a spectral range between 300 nm and 1400 nm incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) technology with an estimated cost of USD 200. The proposed system can provide instantaneous surface solar radiation levels, connectivity to wireless networks and an exclusive web system for monitoring data. For the sake of comparison, the results were compared with those provided by a government meteorology station (INMet). The prototype validation resulted in determination coefficients (R2) greater than 0.95 while the statistical analysis referred to the results and uncertainties for the range of ±500 kJ·m-2, less than 4.0% for the developed prototypes. The proposed system operates similarly to pyranometers based on thermopiles providing reliable readings, a low acquisition and maintenance cost, autonomous operation, and applicability in the most varied climatological and energy research types. The developed system is pending a patent at the National Institute of Industrial Property under registration BR1020200199846.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the biomechanical properties of a novel total hip replacement femoral stem. METHODS: Eight pairs of femurs from dog cadavers were used. The femurs were separated into different groups. A novel femoral stem with a convex proximal portion (Stem B) was biomechanically evaluated and compared to awell-known veterinary collared stem (Stem A). Femoral stems were inserted into the contralateral femurs from the same dog, forming 16 constructs. A flexo-compression load was applied on the axial axis of each sample. Maximum strength, deflection, stiffness, and energy absorption were analysed. RESULTS: Group B constructs showed significantly higher values (p ? 0.05) for the variables, except stiffness. The mean maximum strength was 1,347 ± 357 N for Group A and 1,805 ± 123 N for Group B (p ? 0.0069). The mean deflection was5.54 ± 2.63 mm for Group A and 10.03 ± 3.99 mm for Group B (p ? 0.0056). For the energy variable, the force was 6,203 ± 3,488 N/mm for Group A and 12,885 ± 5,056 N/mm for Group B (p ? 0.0054). Stem B had greater maximum strength, deflection, and energy. CONCLUSIONS: The new stem was effective in neutralizing the impact of axial flexion-compression stresses during biomechanical tests in cadaveric models.

RESUMO

RESUMO Com o desenvolvimento dos jogos eletrônicos nos últimos anos, o jogo League of Legends passou a se destacar com sua estrutura de campeonato e número de jogadores e espectadores. Percebeu-se que, desde o ano de seu lançamento, em 2009, houve uma profissionalização do jogo, com alguns jogadores sendo considerados profissionais. Pensando nisso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar como a profissionalização do League of Legends no contexto dos esportes eletrônicos tem sido tratada em referenciais das áreas que abordam a temática. A metodologia utilizada foi a exploratória descritiva, em que, através de leitura de títulos, resumos e artigos propriamente ditos, selecionou-se vinte artigos para uma revisão de literatura. Concluiu-se, assim, que a profissionalização do jogo League of Legends se deu por conta de dois agentes: a criação das ligas oficiais da Riot Games, chamada de League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), e a especialização dos jogadores em posições específicas.

ABSTRACT With the development of electronic games in recent years, the game League of Legends stood out for its championship structure and number of players and spectators. It was noticed that, since its release, in 2009, the game went through a process of professionalization, with some players being considered as professionals. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to understand how the professionalization of the game League of Legends has been treated in published papers about the theme. The methodology used was exploratory descriptive, in which, through the reading of titles, abstract and articles, it was selected twenty articles for a literature review. Thus, it was found that the professionalization of League of Legends is linked to two factors: the launch of the League Championship Series (LCS) and its other leagues scattered in other regions, allowing players to earn wages, and the specialization of players in specific positions within the game.

RESUMO

RESUMO O Futsac é um esporte criado em Curitiba - PR em 2002, pelo empresário Marcos Juliano Ofenbock. A modalidade foi reconhecida oficialmente pelo Ministério do Esporte Brasileiro em 2014, em que demonstrou forte processo de inserção no meio político. O presente estudo mapeou os caminhos adotados pelo idealizador da modalidade nos campos políticos do Brasil. Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram que as relações estabelecidas pelo criador do Futsac com determinados membros das esferas legislativas e executivas, que já possuíam imagem vinculada ao meio esportivo no cenário curitibano e paranaense, facilitaram a estruturação legal da modalidade dentro do Ministério do Esporte.

ABSTRACT Futsac is a sport created in Curitiba - PR in 2002, by businessman Marcos Juliano Ofenbock. The modality was officially recognized by the Brazilian Ministry of Sports in 2014, where it demonstrated a strong process of insertion in the political environment. Our study mapped the paths adopted by the creator of Futsac in the political fields of Brazil. The results of our research showed that the relations established by the creator of Futsac with certain members of the legislative and executive spheres of Curitiba and Paraná political scenario, which already had an image linked to sports policies, facilitated the legal structuring of the modality within the Ministry of Sports.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective: The present study aimed to analyze the accuracy of the Dolphin Imaging 11.9® computer program in the surgical prediction of the soft tissue facial profile. Methods: The investigators designed and implemented a retrospective study. It was used a sample of 55 patients, being 14 males and 41 females, aged from 19 to 55 years old. All patients were subjected to surgery orthognathic bimaxillary combined with mentoplasty, in Class II facial profile - Angle. Patients' actual results were compared to the obtained up to a year and a half after the surgery procedure. The study was delineated in three phases. In the first phase, cephalometric preoperative radiographs were performed; in the second phase the postoperative cephalometries were made; in the third phase, the measurements of the soft profile of the virtual analysis were compared with the real post-surgical profile. The data was collected and subjected to statistical analysis in the "R" program, using the t test and ANOVA. Results: The results demonstrated that measures A' and Eis were underestimated in -0.15 ± 0. 52 mm and -0.47 ± 1.05 mm, respectively, while measures Pg' and ANL were overestimated at 0.76 ± 1.98 mm and 3.31 ± 3.60° respectively. There was no evidence of measures, Ls, Li and B', being different between real and virtual. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that Dolphin 11.9® computer program complies with the function of preserving with reliability virtual surgical planning.

RESUMO Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a precisão do programa de computador Dolphin Imaging 11.9® na predição cirúrgica do perfil facial dos tecidos moles. Métodos: Os pesquisadores projetaram e implementaram um estudo retrospectivo. Utilizou-se uma amostra de 55 pacientes, sendo 14 do sexo masculino e 41 do sexo feminino, com idades entre 19 e 55 anos. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à cirurgia ortognática bimaxilar combinada com mentoplastia, no perfil facial Classe II de Angle. Os resultados reais dos pacientes foram comparados com os obtidos até um ano e meio após o procedimento cirúrgico. O estudo foi delineado em três fases. Na primeira fase, foram realizadas radiografias cefalométricas pré-operatórias; na segunda fase, foram realizadas cefalometrias pós-operatórias; na terceira fase, as medidas do perfil mole da análise virtual foram comparadas com o perfil pós-cirúrgico real. Os dados foram coletados e submetidos à análise estatística no programa "R", utilizando o teste t e ANOVA. Resultados: Os resultados demonstraram que as medidas A 'e Eis foram subestimadas em -0,15 ± 0, 52 mm e -0,47 ± 1,05 mm, respectivamente; enquanto as medidas Pg' e ANL foram superestimadas em 0,76 ± 1,98 mm e 3,31 ± 3,60°, respectivamente. Não houve evidência de medidas, Ls, Li e B', sendo diferentes entre real e virtual. Conclusão: Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que o programa de computador Dolphin 11.9® cumpre a função de preservar com confiabilidade o planejamento cirúrgico virtual.

RESUMO

This paper presented an autonomous electronic system for sunshine duration (SD) monitoring based on the contrast method and developed to operate on a horizontal surface. The prototype uses four photoresistors arranged at 90° in a 20 mm diameter circumference separated by a shading structure used to create a shadow pattern on the detection element. Photoresistors are inserted in individual signal conditioning circuits based on the association between Wheatstone bridges and operational amplifiers to provide an analog signal to the microcontroller unit. The determination of SD occurs through the implementation of fuzzy logic with numerical calculation methods to estimate the probability (f) of solar disk obstruction and estimate SD values. The system does not require additional adjustments after installation or use of energy sources for operation due to the use of an internal battery with charge recovery by solar panels. Experimental results of the proposed system were validated with the ones provided by a government meteorology station. Statistical analysis of the results showed a confidence index (c) greater than 90%, with a precision of 94.26%. The proposed system is a feasible low-cost solution to the available commercial systems for the measurement of sunshine duration.
