Saúde Mental, Uso de Álcool e Qualidade do Sono em Estudantes de uma Universidade Pública / Mental Health, Alcohol Use and Sleep Quality by Students in a Public University / Salud Mental, Consumo de Alcohol y Calidad del Sueño en Estudiantes de una Universidad Pública

Este estudo analisou os aspectos cognitivos e comportamentais dos estudantes de uma universidade pública durante a graduação, considerando autopercepção de depressão, ansiedade e estresse, bem como uso de substâncias psicoativas e qualidade do sono. Foi realizado um delineamento longitudinal com 34 estudantes ingressantes em 2015/1 e formandos em 2018/2, aplicando-se questionário online. Do total de universitários, 22 eram mulheres e 12 eram homens, sendo que o consumo de drogas aumentou para ambos os sexos. A frequência da percepção de processos depressivos aumentou no fim do curso, enquanto a de ansiedade diminuiu, para ambos os sexos. Os dados de percepção do estresse mostraram aumento na frequência total. Houve correlação positiva fraca entre depressão e ansiedade ou estresse, mas correlação positiva moderada entre estresse e ansiedade no final do curso. Ainda, obteve-se um aumento expressivo de distúrbio do sono em homens e mulheres, porém de forma significativa apenas para os primeiros. Foi notada correlação positiva fraca entre a percepção de depressão, ansiedade ou estresse no final do curso. Faz-se necessário o acompanhamento multiprofissional do universitário, auxiliando na maneira de lidar com as dificuldades, bem como medidas de melhoria da qualidade de vida e sono.

This study analyzed cognitive and behavioral aspects of students at a public university during undergraduate study, considering self-perception of anxiety, depression and stress, as well as psychoactive substance use and sleep quality. A longitudinal project was conducted with 34 students entering in 2015/1 and graduating in 2018/2, applying an online questionnaire. Of the total of students, 22 were women and 12 were men, and drug use increased for both sexes. The frequency of perception of depressive processes increased at the end of the course, while anxiety decreased, for both sexes. Stress perception data showed an increase in total frequency. There was a weak positive correlation between depression and anxiety or stress, but a moderate positive correlation between stress and anxiety at the end of the course. It is still possible to notice that there was a significant increase in sleep disorders in men and women, but significantly only for the first. A weak positive correlation was noticed between the perception of depression, anxiety or stress at the end of the course. The multidisciplinary follow-up of the university student is necessary in order to assist in dealing with difficulties, as well as measures to improve quality of life and sleep.

Hubo una correlación positiva débil entre la depresión y la ansiedad o el estrés, pero una correlación positiva moderada entre el estrés y la ansiedad al final del curso. Aun así, el aumento significativo en los trastornos del sueño en hombres y mujeres, sin embargo significado solamente para él primer. Una correlación positiva débil con depresión, ansiedad o estrés fue percibida al final del curso. Se hace necesario el acompañamiento multiprofesional de estudiantes universitarios, a fin de ayudar en la forma de tratar las dificultades, así como medidas para mejorar la calidad de vida y el sueño.

Tracking of risk factors for non-communicable diseases in young shooters, Ituiutaba, MG

The aim of this study was to detect early hypertension, diabetes and obesity, as well as their risk factors, in 105 young shooters from Tiro de Guerra 11-002 in the city of Ituiutaba-MG. This is a cross-sectional mixed study. A semi-structured questionnaire that contained questions related to the sociodemographic context, health status, lifestyle, eating habits, and psychosocial variables was applied. Blood pressure, anthropometric indexes, and lipid and glycemic profiles were measured. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson's correlation test and Spearman's coefficient, considering significative value (p < 0.05). The shooters had an average of 18.9 years old, most educated and brown. Anthropometric indices indicated a mainly eutrophic population, and normotensive and desirable lipid and glycemic profiles. However, overweight, high blood pressure, and self-declaration of family history for chronic diseases were identified. In addition, most shooters affirmed to ingest alcoholics beverages, to have insufficient time of physical activity, and to be aware of their levels of stress, pressure and anxiety and a few hours of sleep. Overall, the shooters showed good anthropometric and biochemical indicatorsof blood. Risk behavior, such as drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking, low level of physical activity and self-perception of stress, anxiety and pressure were also noted.

Arthropods associated with pig carrion in two vegetation profiles of Cerrado in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil / Artrópodes associados a carcaças de suínos em dois perfis de vegetação de Cerrado no Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil

Forensic Entomology research has been concentrated in only a few localities of the "Cerrado" vegetation, the Brazilian Savannah. The present study had, as its objective, an examination of the diversity of arthropod fauna associated with the carcasses of Sus scrofa (Linnaeus) in this biome. The study was conducted during the dry and humid periods in two Cerrado vegetation profiles of the State of Minas Gerais. The decaying process was slower and greater quantities of arthropods were collected during the dry period. Insects represented 99 percent of 161,116 arthropods collected. The majority of these were Diptera (80.2 percent) and Coleoptera (8.8 percent). The entomofauna belong to 85 families and at least 212 species. Diptera were represented by 31 families and at least 132 species. Sarcophagidae (Diptera) and Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera) were the richest groups. Oxysarcodexia (Sarcophagidae) presented the largest number of attracted species, however none of these species bred in the carcasses. The Coleoptera collected belong to at least 50 species of 21 families. Among these species, Dermestes maculatus and Necrobia rufipes were observed breeding in the carcasses. This study showed species with potential importance for estimating the postmortem interval (PMI), indicative of seasonal and environmental type located.

Estudos de entomologia forense em área de Cerrado ainda são escassos no Brasil. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a riqueza da artropodofauna associada a carcaças de suínos domésticos em decomposição. O estudo foi conduzido em dois perfis de Cerrado, Cerrado senso stricto e Campo sujo, durante dois períodos do ano, seco e úmido, em Uberlândia, MG, Brasil. Insetos representaram 99 por cento dos 161.116 artrópodes coletados, sendo representados majoritariamente por dípteros (80,2 por cento) e coleópteros (8,8 por cento). A entomofauna era pertencente a 85 famílias e pelo menos 212 espécies. Os dípteros foram representados por 31 famílias e pelo menos 132 espécies. Os Sarcophagidae (Diptera) e Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera) foram os grupos com maior riqueza de espécies. Oxysarcodexia (Sarcophagidae) apresentou o maior número de espécies atraídas. Os coleópteros coletados pertenciam a pelo menos 21 famílias e 50 espécies, dentre as quais Dermestes maculatus e Necrobia rufipes foram observadas criando-se nas carcaças. Este estudo apresenta várias espécies com potencial importância para estimar o Intervalo Pós-Morte (IPM), e indicativas de sazonalidade e de ambiente localizado.
