Percepção feminina diante da gravidez interrompida: análise da experiência vivenciada por mulheres com diagnóstico de abortamento

Abstract: El proceso de gestar conlleva cambios fisicos, psicologicos y de comportamiento en la vida de las mujeres, sin embargo el embarazo interrumpido puede tener consecuencias que afecten la calidad de vida de esta poblacion. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la percepcion de las mujeres atendidas en una unidad hospitalaria, sobre la vivencia de un embarazo interrumpido por diagnostico de aborto. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, con abordaje cualitativo, en un centro obstetrico en Sobral-Ceara, Brasil. Los sujetos de estudio fueron trece mujeres que buscaron asistencia en un determinado periodo. Para la recoleccion de datos se utilizo una entrevista semiestructurada con la intencion de conocer el universo de las participantes. Los resultados evidencian el sentimiento presente entre las participantes y muestran que el embarazo interrumpido hace aforar actitudes distintas en cada mujer. Las condiciones economicas y sociodemograficas infuyen de forma variada. Asi, los profesionales de salud pueden ofrecer el apoyo necesario para que las mujeres que pasan por esta experiencia puedan embarazarse a futuro en condiciones saludables.

Síntese e caracterização de surfactantes alquilfenil poliglicosídicos a partir da amilose e alquil fenóis extraídos do LCC natural

Abstract: The surfactants were synthesized by condensing the obtained oligosaccharides of amylose and alkyl phenols extracted from the natural cashew nut shell liquid (nCNSL). The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) data showed aromatic ring bands, glycosidic rings, olefins and paraffins. The Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (NOESY) experiments showed that the conformation of the glycosidic units is of the type 4C1 with an α anomeric configuration. The values of Gibbs free energy of micellization (ΔGomic) indicate that the spontaneity of formed micelles are cardanyl oligoglycosides > cardyl oligoglycosides > anacardyl oligoglycosides. The surface tension (γ) measurements showed that critical micelle concentration (cmc) values were low for surfactants. The study γ versus lnc (g dm-3) indicated that the aggregation behavior of the surfactants is dependent on their structural characteristics, as well as their thermal behavior. The area per molecule (A) values indicates that cardyl oligoglycosides are likely to form aggregates smaller than cardanyl oligoglycosides and anacardyl oligoglycosides. The critical packing parameter (cpp) indicates that the aggregates are of the vesicles and bilayers.

Phytase Superdosing in the Diet of Lightweight Replacement Pullets: Performance, Organ Biometry and Bone Characteristics

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two types of phytases (the 1st produced from Escherichia coli and the 2nd from Aspergillus oryzae) with different dosages (300 and 900 Unit Phytase or FTU) on performance, organ biometry and bone quality of replacement pullets in the period of 8 to 17 weeks of age. A total of 288 Hy-Line White laying hens were used at 8 weeks of age. A completely randomized design was adopted in a 2 x 2 factorial scheme, totaling 4 treatments with 8 replicates of 9 birds each. Performance, biometric variables and bone characteristics were evaluated. There was no significant interaction between the factors for any of the evaluated variables. The conversion and the accumulated consumption were influenced (p<0.05) by the phytase dosages, with the highest results being observed for the consumption obtained with 300 FTU, and the best results for the feed conversion obtained with the dosage of 900 FTU. The relative weight of the liver was influenced by the treatments (p<0.05), presenting higher values with bacterial phytase and a dosage of 900 FTU. The sternum length and tibial deformity were influenced by fungal phytase (p<0.05). It is concluded that the use of 900 FTU superdosing and fungal phytase improves the performance and bone characteristics of light replacement pullets.

Conception of human training for child education: a state of the question

Abstract: RESUMO Nesta pesquisa analisamos como a comunidade cientifica tem discutido o conceito de formacao humana na educacao infantil. Tendo o estado da questao, realizamos coleta de dados nos acervos da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertacoes, nos periodicos da Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior e nos anais das reunioes anuais da Associacao Nacional de Pos-Graduacao e Pesquisa em Educacao, nos trabalhos desenvolvidos pelo Grupo de Trabalho 7 - Educacao de Criancas de 0 a 06 anos. Alem do referencial metodologico, nos ancoramos nos autores da psicologia historico-cultural. Identificamos que os conceitos de infância, crianca, educar e cuidar, bem como o referencial teorico da psicologia historico-cultural, aparecem significativamente como base teorica nas producoes academicas analisadas, indicando interesse em uma formacao humana integral, por isso compreendemos que essa perspectiva de educacao precisa avancar nas escolas brasileiras.

Parasitos gastrintestinais em caprinos no município de Quixadá, Ceará

Abstract: Resumo: O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a ocorrencia dos principais parasitos gastrintestinais que acometem caprinos adultos e jovens do municipio de Quixada-Ceara durante a epoca seca e chuvosa, alem de identificar e quantificar as especies de Eimeria presentes no rebanho. Foram utilizados 654 animais, sendo 334 animais no periodo seco, dos quais eram 149 matrizes e 185 crias e 320 animais no periodo chuvoso, sendo 106 matrizes e 214 crias, independente de padrao racial e sistema de criacao. As coletas foram realizadas nos meses de novembro e dezembro de 2012 e maio de 2013 no municipio de Quixada-Ceara e encaminhadas ao Laboratorio de Parasitologia da Embrapa Caprinos e Ovinos na cidade de Sobral-Ceara. Foram coletadas fezes para contagem do numero de ovos por gramas de fezes (OPG), contagem de Oocistos por gramas de fezes (OOPG), coprocultura e identificacao das especies de Eimeria com base na morfometria. As matrizes apresentaram maiores medias de ovos do tipo Strongyloidea (372,03) e Strongyloides (8,45) no periodo seco e no periodo chuvoso apresentaram maiores medias apenas para Strongyloidea (502,85). O inverso aconteceu com o OOPG, onde as crias apresentaram maiores medias no periodo seco (9387,41) e no chuvoso (9630,37). O genero de nematodeo mais frequente na coprocultura foi o Trichostrongylus sp. (63,67%) no periodo seco e o Haemonchus sp. no chuvoso (66,67%). Em 100% dos rebanhos, foram encontrados oocistos de Eimeria, com 81% dos animais infectados. A ocorrencia da eimeriose nas categorias jovens e adultas foi de 64,3% e 83,2% no periodo seco e de 87,4% e 92,4% no periodo chuvoso. As especies identificadas foram: Eimeria alijevi, E. apsheronica, E. arloingi, E. caprina, E. caprovina, E. christenseni, E. hirci, E. jolchijevi e E. ninakohlyakimovae. Nas crias a E. alijevi foi a mais frequente no periodo seco e a E. ninakohlyakimovae no chuvoso. Ja nas matrizes a especie E. alijevi apresentou a maior frequencia em ambos os periodos. Nos rebanhos estudados foi evidenciado a presenca de ovos de nematodeos gastrointestinais e oocistos de Eimeria spp. independente da categoria animal. [Gastrointestinal parasites in goats from Quixada, Ceara.] The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of main gastrointestinal parasites and to quantify and identify the species of Eimeria present in young goats and adults in the city of Quixada, Ceara, during the dry and rainy season. Six hundred fifty-four animals were used, with 334 animals during the dry season, which were 149 mothers and 185 offspring and 320 animals during the rainy season, with 106 mothers and 214 offspring, independent of breed standard and creation system. Samples were collected in the months of November and December 2012 and May 2013 in the city of Quixada, Ceara and sent to the Parasitology Laboratory of Embrapa Goats and Sheep at Sobral, Ceara, feces were collected for counting the number of eggs per gram of feces (EPG), counting oocysts per gram of feces (OOPG), coproculture and identification of Eimeria species based on the morphometry. Matrices showed higher means egg type Strongyloidea (372.03) and Strongyloides (8.45) in the dry season and the rainy season had higher mean only to Strongyloidea (502.85). The inverse happened to OOPG, where the offspring showed higher means in the dry season (9387.41) and rainy (9630.37). The genus most frequent of nematode in coprocultures was Trichostrongylus. (63.67%) in the dry season and Haemonchus sp. the rainy (66.67%). One hundred percent of the herds, oocysts of Eimeria were found, with 81% of infected animals. The occurrence of eimeriosis in young and adult categories was 64.3% and 83.2% in the dry season and 87.4% and 92.4% during the rainy season. The species identified were: Eimeria alijevi, E. apsheronica, E. arloingi, E. caprina, E. caprovina, E. christenseni, E. hirci, E. and E. jolchijevi ninakohlyakimovae. In the offspring E. alijevi was the most frequent in the dry season and the rainy E. ninakohlyakimovae. Already in matrices the species E. Alijevi showed the highest frequency in both periods. In herds studied it evidenced the presence of gastrointestinal nematodes eggs and oocysts of Eimeria spp. independent of animal category.
