Las dificultades maternas en el proceso de amamantamiento materno de prematuros en una UTI neonato

Abstract: La finalidad del estudio fue describir la asistencia y las dificultades maternas en el proceso de amamantamiento de prematuros. Para tal, recorrimos al abordaje cualitativo, realizada a traves de la entrevista estructurada, grabada con cinco madres de ninos prematuros con peso inferior a 2000 granos acompanados en la UTIN en Cuiaba-MT, Brasil. Como resultados verificamos cinco subtemas: mantener la produccion de leche materna mediante ordena, enfrentarse con desconforto durante la estadia en la UTIN, vivir con procedimientos medicos de alimentacion para prematuros, enfrentarse con la fragilidad del prematuro y la UTIN y necesitar apoyo logistico para el amamantamiento. Fue observada una falta de intervenciones sistematicas para estimular el amamantamiento durante la estadia de las madres y sus ninos en el hospital. Es necesario capacitar los profesionales hospitalarios y implantar protocolos de intervencion, con vistas a las experiencias y necesidades maternas y la articulacion entre las acciones intrahospitalarias y interinstitucionales.

Oxidation of Cholesterol in Foods and Its Importance for Human Health

Abstract: Cholesterol oxidation products are present in different biological pathways and in oxidized cholesterol-containing food. More than 70 molecules have been identified and most of them present cytotoxic, atherogenic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects. They can change important characteristics of the cellular membrane and inhibit the biosynthesis of several molecules. Foods of animal origin can develop these derivatives by the action of oxygen, heat, polyunsaturated fatty acids, water, pH, radiation, and inadequate packaging and storage, affecting their quality and exposing consumers to potential health problems. Despite the interest in cholesterol oxidation products, safe biological levels for them have not yet been established. The purpose of this review is to examine cholesterol oxidation products in foods and examine their importance for human health.

Business Games for Leadership Development: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Leadership development poses great challenges to modern organizations. One possible method to develop leaders is the use of experiential techniques based on business games. The objective of this article was to identify, based on literature, business games used in leadership development and to examine how they contribute to the qualification of the leaders. In particular, the article analyzes business games in which elements of leadership development were present as part of the computer model (simulator). The article describes the goals of the games, their pedagogical and technical features, their relation to leadership theories, and their effectiveness in leadership development. The methodology used was systematic review conducted in SCOPUS, ISI, and BKL (Bernie Keys Library) databases. The review identified five games that met the criteria and objectives of this research. This study shows that using business games for leadership development is still a hard task. It points up some problems and difficulties in this task and suggests ways to develop more effective methods for leadership development with business games.

Anfíbios da Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins, região do Jalapão, Estados do Tocantins e Bahia

Abstract: A porcao norte do dominio do Cerrado e uma das areas historicamente menos conhecidas com relacao a sua biodiversidade. Recentemente, alguns estudos tem revelado valores de riqueza comparaveis a outras regioes dentro do dominio. A Estacao Ecologica Serra Geral do Tocantins (EESGT) esta localizada na regiao do Jalapao, porcao Nordeste do Cerrado, e faz parte do maior bloco de areas protegidas neste dominio. Neste estudo descrevemos a riqueza e composicao de especies de anfibios da EESGT, discutindo-as em um contexto biogeografico, e caracterizamos o uso de sitios reprodutivos pelas especies de anfibios registradas em relacao as fitofisionomias e aos tipos de corpos d'agua. Utilizamos os metodos de busca ativa e armadilhas de queda, no periodo considerado como o auge da estacao reprodutiva para a maior parte das especies do Cerrado. Foram registradas 36 especies de anfibios na EESGT, totalizando 39 especies conhecidas para a regiao do Jalapao. Aplicando o estimador Jackknife, sugerimos uma riqueza potencial de 42 especies para a EESGT. A maior parte das especies registradas e endemica ou fortemente associada ao Cerrado, seguidas pelas especies de ampla distribuicao no Brasil ou America do Sul. A maior parte da especies se reproduz em pocas temporarias localizadas em areas abertas, embora existam especies que ocorrem exclusivamente em matas de galeria e utilizem corpos d'agua loticos para se reproduzir.
