Caldo de cana desidratado na ração de codornas de corte

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of dehydrated cane juice (DCJ) on the performance, carcass quality, and economic index of European quails ( Coturnix coturnix), during the period from 22 to 42 days of age. One hundred and ninety-two quails with 22 days of age were distributed in a completely randomized design, with four treatments and six replicates of eight birds each. DCJ was added at 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5% in the feed. The economic feasibility of including DCJ levels in the feed was evaluated through relative gross margin. In the period from 29 to 35 days of age, there was increased linear effect of feed intake with the increase of DCJ in the feed. However, there was a quadratic effect of DCJ levels on carcass, drumstick+thigh, and abdominal fat weights, and the estimated optimum levels were 1.69, 2.50, and 2.34%, respectively. There was a decreasing linear effect of DCJ levels on breast weight with and without skin. Economic analysis showed higher profits to the producer with the use of conventional feed. However, among the DCJ levels of inclusion, the level of 1.5% showed the best results, with a difference of 0.47% in relative gross margin when compared to the conventional feed. The addition of 1.69 and 2.50% of dehydrated cane juice in the feed is recommended to achieve higher carcass and drumstick+thigh weights in meat quails, respectively.

Leprosy: the reality for the adolescent

Abstract: Leprosy is a contagious disease of a great disabling potential and the teenagers, living a changing phase of their lives, can be negatively influenced by the disease sequelae. This study aims to characterize the teenagers with leprosy disease according to social-demographic aspects, to proceed epidemic-operational analysis of leprosy disease; check teenagers' knowledge about leprosy disease and the way they reacted after they found out they had the disease; identify the changes occurred in the teenager's life and the difficulties after they had the disease. It is an explorative and descriptive research which involved 31 teenagers who are carriers of the leprosy disease and are assisted by the Family Health Strategy, in Sobral munipality-Ceara. The results point out the need of an integral and continuous attendance to the teenager with leprosy disease, avoiding that this disease brings significant changes to his/her life that can difficult to the construction of his/her new identity.

[Pregnancy in adolescence: reason and perceptions of adolescents].

Abstract: This research encompasses the capital Aracaju, Sergipe, and its surroundings health districts. It was dealt from October to December 2002 with 216 pregnant adolescents assisted by the Strategy of the Family Health Program. Its main goal is to raise and identify the social-demographic and the gynecological profile of those young ladies, by identifying the reason which led them to pregnancy and by knowing their pereption of it. The vast majority of them are 17, colored, literate, house-wives who have one single steady partner and survive with less than the minimum wage. Among those 32.4% got their first period by the age of 12; 25% had their first sexual intercourse by the age of 16; anf 72.7% had their first gestation. The reason which stood out from the others was the will to become a mother, for their perception towards pregnancy is related to happiness and personal achievement.

Association of Pollinators of Different Species of Oil Palm with the Metabolic Profiling of Volatile Organic Compounds.

Abstract: The development of studies on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by inflorescence of oil palms deserves a special attention regarding the importance to reproduction success and for increase of production. This study aimed to evaluate metabolic profiling of VOCs expelled by male and female inflorescences of different oil palm species (African oil palm, Amazonian Caiaue and the interspecific hybrid BRS-Manicore), associating the composition variability with main pollinators to improve the comprehension of the plant-insect relationship. The phenylpropanoids, terpenoids and the aliphatic hydrocarbons were predominant classes detected in inflorescences of oil palms and the major compound was estragole. This result may be correlated with attraction of Elaidobius pollinators, since these insects were not attracted by Caiaue, which emitted estragole only in trace amounts. However, Caiaue and the hybrid species were visited by other native species whose frequencies were low and their success as pollinators could not be expected.

Perspectivas da enfermagem sobre o protocolo da sepse materna: análise à luz da teoria da complexidade

Abstract: espanolObjetivo: analizar las perspectivas del personal de enfermeria sobre la implementacion del protocolo de sepsis materna a la luz de la teoria de la complejidad. Metodo: estudio descriptivo con enfoque cualitativo basado en el pensamiento complejo de Edgar Morin. Se realizo una entrevista individual con 13 profesionales de enfermeria que trabajan en el sector obstetrico, entre julio y agosto de 2017, en un hospital del noreste de Brasil. Resultados: se apuntaron dificultades en la identificacion adecuada de la sepsis materna, retraso en el inicio de los antibioticos, falta de comunicacion entre las categorias profesionales y una alineacion de las conductas, lo que afecta la linea de atencion de pacientes obstetricas con sepsis. Conclusiones: existe una perspectiva positiva en cuanto a la empleabilidad del protocolo, sin embargo, las debilidades son evidentes, con la necesidad de nuevas reflexiones sobre la complejidad de la atencion implementada, los roles profesionales y la comunicacion dentro del equipo de salud EnglishObjective: To study the perspectives of nursing staff on the implementation of maternal sepsis protocol from complexity theory. Method: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach based on Edgar Morin's Complex Thought. Individual interviews were conducted, between July and August 2017, with 13 nursing professionals working in the obstetric area at a hospital in northeast Brazil. Results: Difficulties in adequate identification of maternal sepsis, delayed antibiotic initiation, lack of communication between professionals, and a weak alignment of conducts were observed, issues that impair the line of care for obstetric patients with sepsis. Conclusions: There is a positive perspective regarding the use of the protocol. However, some weaknesses are evident, establishing the need for new reflections on the complexity of the implemented care, professional roles, and communication within the portuguesObjetivo: analisar as perspectivas da equipe de enfermagem sobre a implementacao do protocolo da sepse materna a luz da teoria da complexidade.

Resultados: evidenciaram-se dificuldades na identificacao adequada da sepse materna, atraso no inicio do antibiotico, falta de comunicacao entre categorias profissionais e no alinhamento de condutas, o que prejudica a linha de cuidado a paciente obstetrica com sepse. Conclusoes: ha perspectiva positiva quanto a empregabilidade do protocolo; no entanto, evidenciamse fragilidades com a necessidade de novas reflexoes acerca da complexidade dos cuidados implementados, do papel dos profissionais e da comunicacao dentro da equipe de saude.
