RESUMO
Resumo Introdução As hortas escolares como ambiente educador, reconhecidamente, têm desempenhado importantes mudanças nas atitudes dos estudantes. Porém, apesar dos aspectos positivos já descritos, não há no Brasil um instrumento que avalie a adesão da escola às propostas da horta escolar. Objetivo O presente estudo objetivou traduzir, adaptar transculturalmente e validar o instrumento Garden Resource, Education, and Environment Nexus (GREEN), após autorização da autora Kate Gardner Burt. Método O processo de operacionalização da adaptação transcultural baseou-se nos procedimentos sugeridos pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. O estudo psicométrico foi realizado por Análise Fatorial Exploratória. Resultados O instrumento traduzido e adaptado transculturalmente foi respondido por 123 servidores de 93 escolas do município do Rio de Janeiro. Ao longo do processo da adaptação transcultural do instrumento original em inglês "GREEN", foi criado o constructo "HortEnsiA" (Horta, Ensino e Ambiente). Conclusão A avaliação psicométrica aponta a necessidade de uma melhor organização da gestão e das atividades sociais ligadas à horta na escola. A partir da participação de técnicos agrícolas na construção e aplicação do instrumento "HortEnsiA", observou-se que a presença desses profissionais pode contribuir para a otimização da implementação e uso da horta como ambiente educador.

Questionnaire survey was conducted to know awareness of female nursing students about state of self-health condition and the effect of Kampo education on the interest degree in Kampo. It was shown that 20% of students felt that they were not healthy and 40% of students felt that they were not confident in their health. It was also shown that many students took a painkiller to cure menstrual pain and headache. In addition, it was shown that 55% of students experienced internal use of Kampo medicine. This tendency was more prominent in students who were interested in Kampo medicine. And, there were many students who wanted to take Kampo medicine, which was effective to dysmenorrhea, headache, menstrural irregular, premenstrual syndrome, and menopausal disorders. The demand on Kampo medicine of students who were not interested in Kampo medicine were prominently increased after Kampo education used slides (papers) reading about Kampo. Those results indicate that Kampo education is also important for students who are not interested in Kampo medicine.

This study was performed to compare nutrients intake and levels of three elements (iron, copper and zinc) in the plasma of breast cancer patients to those in healthy controls. Patients (n = 97) and their age-matched healthy control groups (n=97) participated in the study. A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire specifically formulated to evaluate the consumption of nutrients was used to estimate dietary intake. Only plasma was taken from the 20 patients and their age-matched healthy control group. Plasma concentrations of iron, copper, zinc, ratio of Cu/Zn were measured in both groups. Results showed that patients consumed significantly lower protein, fat, iron. Plasma level of copper and ratio of Cu/Zn were significantly higher in patients compared to those of controls. In conclusion, change of trace elements in plasma might be useful and significant as biomakers involving the initial process. And these results imply that trace elements status is a factor related to breast cancer risk and suggest that proper intake of those nutrients is required for cancer prevention.
