TL;DR: The findings suggest a correlation between low levels of physical activity and symptoms of anxiety and depression in the elderly living in the community.
Abstract: Introduction: Health problems may negatively affect the psychological and physical aspects of life, influencing the quality of life of older adults. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of physical activity on quality of life, anxiety, and depression in the elderly population. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 200 elderly people of both genders. Subjects were divided into two groups: one with 100 senior citizens engaged in physical activities in a social center for the elderly; and another composed of 100 subjects who lived in the community but were not engaged in physical activities. The instruments used to assess physical activities, quality of life, and anxiety and depression were, respectively: the modified Baecke questionnaire; the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36); and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The data were analyzed using the Student's t test, Pearson's r, and analysis of variance (ANOVA), with odds ratio and a 5% significance level (p<0.05). Results: We observed that the active group showed higher scores of physical activity and quality of life. Conversely, the sedentary group revealed higher scores of anxiety and depression. Data assessment revealed a strong correlation between the domains quality of life, level of vitality, and mental health (r=0.77). The prevalence ratio showed that physical activity is a protective factor against anxiety and depression in the elderly. Conclusion: The findings suggest a correlation between low levels of physical activity and symptoms of anxiety and depression in the elderly living in the community.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed evapotranspiration data for three wet and two seasonally dry rain forest sites in Amazonia and found that evapOTranspiration in the dry season is higher than that in the wet season.
Abstract: [1] This study analyzes evapotranspiration data for three wet and two seasonally dry rain forest sites in Amazonia. The main environmental (net radiation, vapor pressure deficit, and aerodynamic conductance) and vegetation (surface conductance) controls of evapotranspiration are also assessed. Our research supports earlier studies that demonstrate that evapotranspiration in the dry season is higher than that in the wet season and that surface net radiation is the main controller of evapotranspiration in wet equatorial sites. However, our analyses also indicate that there are different factors controlling the seasonality of evapotranspiration in wet equatorial rain forest sites and southern seasonally dry rain forests. While the seasonality of evapotranspiration in wet equatorial forests is driven solely by environmental factors, in seasonally dry forests, it is also biotically controlled with the surface conductance varying between seasons by a factor of approximately 2. The identification of these different drivers of evapotranspiration is a major step forward in our understanding of the water dynamics of tropical forests and has significant implications for the future development of vegetation-atmosphere models and land use and conservation planning in the region.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of small-scale disturbance on terrestrial arthropods and select groups that could be used as ecological indicators in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest were assessed, and the abundance of exotic species was higher in the disturbed site, and this pattern seems to be an adequate indicator of anthropogenic disturbance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify contradicoes e desafios that se apresentam atualmente no trabalho de enfermagem em saude mental, no contexto da Reforma Psiquiatrica, tendo por referencia a construcao historico-social desse processo de trabalhe.
Abstract: Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar contradicoes e desafios que se apresentam atualmente no trabalho de enfermagem em saude mental, no contexto da Reforma Psiquiatrica, tendo por referencia a construcao historico-social desse processo de trabalho. A Reforma Psiquiatrica pressupoe um novo desenho de objeto e instrumentos de trabalho, que sao ainda pouco visiveis na pratica dos enfermeiros, e a possibilidade de se alcancar a condicao de sujeito-cidadao para o portador de sofrimento mental - modo de ser e finalidade do trabalho - que esta diretamente relacionada a consciencia de sujeito-cidadao do trabalhador de enfermagem.
