ABSTRACT

Population aging is 1 of the biggest challenges facing public health today, and cognitive dysfunction is an important concern. Cognitive impairment may be associated with high folate concentrations and low vitamin B12 concentrations; the latter is a common problem among elderly people. Therefore, we hypothesized there was a high circulating folate concentration among older people living in a country with a mandatory folic acid fortification program. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate nutritional status of folate and vitamin B12 among aged people. Three dietary recalls, serum folate (sfolate), erythrocyte (red blood cell) folate (RBC folate), and serum vitamin B12 and homocysteine were collected. Linear regression models were used to investigate factors associated with circulating vitamins. We interviewed 169 participants. Half reported inadequate consumption of folate. However, RBC folate deficiency was observed in 27%, 13% in the serum, and a 10% excess of sfolate. One-quarter reported inadequate consumption of B12, but only 5% had deficiency. Factors negatively associated with circulating folate were continuous work and smoking, and positively associated with polyunsaturated fatty acid. Factor negatively associated with the circulating B12 were use of a dental prosthesis and intake of saturated fatty acid. Permanent investigation of excess of sfolate and B12 deficiency, especially among older adults living in countries exposed to a mandatory folic acid fortification program, is important because of the possible relation to the cognitive function.

ABSTRACT

Resumo: Entendendo a monogamia como dispositivo contingencial, analisa-se sua capacidade de influenciar os processos de constituição da identidade e as formas de identificação dos sujeitos. A partir das elaborações de Heinz Lichtenstein sobre as origens da identidade humana, incluímos a monogamia, ou alguns traços presentes neste arranjo, na unidade mãe-bebê, supondo que o estatuto hegemônico da monogamia revela algo de sua ligação com a situação antropológica fundamental descrita por Laplanche. Assim, traços do arranjo monogâmico seriam transmitidos à criança em seu estado de "órgão" da mãe e, enquanto pontos constitutivos da identidade, seriam compulsivamente repetidos com o objetivo de manter a coesão desta identidade.


Abstract: With the understanding that monogamy is a contingent device, the paper intends to analyze its ability to influence the processes of identity constitution of the subjects. From Heinz Lichtenstein's elaborations on the origins of human identity, we include monogamy, or some traits present in this arrangement, in the mother-infant unit, supposing that the hegemonic status of monogamy reveals some of its connection with the fundamental anthropological situation described by Laplanche. Thus, traces of the monogamous arrangement would be transmitted to the child in its "organ" state and would be compulsively repeated as constitutive points of identity, in order to maintain the cohesion of this identity.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho se propõe a investigar as contribuições da psicanalista Karen Horney para a compreensão dos relacionamentos amorosos. A autora nos pareceu uma boa representante do que Laplanche sinaliza como recalques presentes na teoria psicanalítica. Investigamos o desenrolar da psicologia do amor de Horney, com base na metodologia laplancheana de análise de textos psicanalíticos, buscando apontar seus méritos e deméritos na construção de uma teoria psicanalítica que é comprometida com as consequências políticas de suas elaborações. A monogamia, instituição hegemônica e que tende a ser interpretada como natural em nossa sociedade ocidental, parece-nos o campo ideal para a discussão proposta pela autora sobre o lugar designado às mulheres. Traçaremos, portanto, um raio vetor sobre o tema, observando as diferentes formas pelas quais se repete na obra da autora. Colocando em questão a forma como são constituídos os relacionamentos amorosos, fazse necessária a abordagem das questões identificatórias e de gênero que os perpassam.


This study aims to investigate contributions from the psychoanalyst Karen Horney to the understanding of love relationships. We reckon the author seems to be a good representative of what Laplanche points out as present suppressions in psychoanalytic theory. We investigated the flow of Karen Horney’s psychology of love, based on Laplanche’s methodology for the analysis of psychoanalytic texts, willing to identify their merits and demerits in the construction of a psychoanalytic theory that is committed to the political consequences of its elaborations. Monogamy, hegemonic institution that tends to be interpreted as natural in our Western society, seems the ideal field for the discussion proposed by the author on the place assigned to women. Therefore, we shall trace a vector ray about the theme, observing the different forms through which it repeats itself in the author’s work. Arguing how romantic relationships are made up, it is necessary to approach the issues of identification and gender, which pervade such relationships.

Para cuestionar cómo se hacen las relaciones románticas, es necesario abordar las cuestiones identificatorias y de género que las permean.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, with the development of micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), the demand for efficient lubricants of silicon surfaces intensified. Although the use of ionic liquids (ILs) as additives to base oils in the lubrication of steel/steel or other types of metal/ metal tribological pairs has been investigated, the number of studies involving Si is very low. In this work, we tested imidazolium-based ILs as additives to the base oil polyethylene glycol (PEG) to lubricate Si surfaces. The friction coefficients were measured in a nanotribometer. The viscosity of the PEG + IL mixtures as well as their contact angles on the Si surface were measured. The topography and chemical composition of the substrates surfaces were determined with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Due to the hygroscopic properties of PEG, the first step was to assess the effect of the presence of water. Then, a series of ILs based on the cations 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium [EMIM], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [BMIM], 1-ethyl-3-vinylimidazolium [EVIM], 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium [C2OHMIM] and 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium [AMIM] combined with the anions dicyanamide [DCA], trifluoromethanesulfonate [TfO], and ethylsulfate [EtSO4] were added to dry PEG. All additives (2 wt %) led to a decrease in friction coefficient as well as an increase in viscosity (with the exception of [AMIM][TfO]) and improved the Si wettability. The additives based on the anion [EtSO4] exhibited the most promising tribological behavior, which was attributed to the strong interaction with the Si surface ensuring the formation of a stable surface layer, which hinders the contact between the sliding surfaces.

ABSTRACT

Background: The effects of high-dose folic acid (FA) supplementation in healthy individuals on blood folate concentrations and immune response are unknown.Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of daily consumption of a tablet containing 5 mg FA on serum folate; number and cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells; mRNA expression of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), interferon γ (IFNG), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFA), and interleukin 8 (IL8) genes; and concentrations of serum inflammatory markers.Methods: This prospective clinical trial was conducted in 30 healthy Brazilian adults (15 women), aged 27.7 y (95% CI: 26.4, 29.1 y), with a body mass index (in kg/m2) of 23.1 (95% CI: 22.0, 24.3). Blood was collected at baseline and after 45 and 90 d of the intervention. Serum folate concentrations were measured by microbiological assay and HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry [folate forms, including unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA)]. We used real-time polymerase chain reaction to assess mononuclear leukocyte mRNA expression and flow cytometry to measure the number and cytotoxicity of NK cells.Results: Serum folate concentrations increased by ∼5-fold after the intervention (P < 0.001), and UMFA concentrations increased by 11.9- and 5.9-fold at 45 and 90 d, respectively, when compared with baseline (P < 0.001). UMFA concentrations increased (>1.12 nmol/L) in 29 (96.6%) participants at day 45 and in 26 (86.7%) participants at day 90. We observed significant reductions in the number (P < 0.001) and cytotoxicity (P = 0.003) of NK cells after 45 and 90 d. Compared with baseline, DHFR mRNA expression was higher at 90 d (P = 0.006) and IL8 and TNFA mRNA expressions were higher at 45 and 90 d (P = 0.001 for both).Conclusion: This noncontrolled intervention showed that healthy adults responded to a high-dose FA supplement with increased UMFA concentrations, changes in cytokine mRNA expression, and reduced number and cytotoxicity of NK cells. This trial was registered at www.ensaiosclinicos.gov.br as RBR-2pr7zp.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho parte da ausência do tema da monogamia como causa de investigações no campo da Psicanálise. Consideraremos a possibilidade de tal ausência constituir uma defesa contra a angústia gerada pelos estados primários de passividade, aos quais as relações amorosas nos remetem. Tomando por base os apontamentos laplancheanos acerca do inconsciente, questionamos como o tema da monogamia aparece em Freud. Pensamos na monogamia como uma via facilitada por sua relação com nossa cultura, atentando para o fato de que independente da forma de relacionamento escolhido, o conflito jamais cessará de existir devido à cisão constitutiva do sujeito.(AU)


This study departs from the absence of monogamy as a research subject in the field of psychoanalysis. We consider the possiility of such absence a defense against the anxiety generated by the primary states of passivity, to which romantic relationships take us. Based on the laplanchean notes about the unconscious, we question how the theme of monogamy appears in Freud's work. We think monogamy as an easy path becase of its relevance in our culture, appointing to the fact that, ultimately, regardless of the form of relationship chosen, the conflict will never cease to exist due to the constitutive split of the subject.(AU)

ABSTRACT

The EUNIS (European Union Nature Information System) habitat classification system aims to provide a common European reference set of habitat types within a hierarchical classification, and to cover all terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats of Europe. The classification facilitates reporting of habitat data in a comparable manner, for use in nature conservation (e.g. inventories, monitoring and assessments), habitat mapping and environmental management. For the marine environment the importance of a univocal habitat classification system is confirmed by the fact that many European initiatives, aimed at marine mapping, assessment and reporting, are increasingly using EUNIS habitat categories and respective codes. For this reason substantial efforts have been made to include information on marine benthic habitats from different regions, aiming to provide a comprehensive geographical coverage of European seas. However, there still remain many concerns on its applicability as only a small fraction of Europe's seas are fully mapped and increasing knowledge and application raise further issues to be resolved. This paper presents an overview of the main discussion and conclusions of a workshop, organised by the MeshAtlantic project, focusing upon the experience in using the EUNIS habitats classification across different countries and seas, together with case studies. The aims of the meeting were to: (i) bring together scientists with experience in the use of the EUNIS marine classification and representatives from the European Environment Agency (EEA); (ii) agree on enhancements to EUNIS that ensure an improved representation of the European marine habitats; and (iii) establish practices that make marine habitat maps produced by scientists more consistent with the needs of managers and decision-makers. During the workshop challenges for the future development of EUNIS were identified, which have been classified into five categories: (1) structure and hierarchy; (2) biology; (3) terminology; (4) mapping; and (5) future development. The workshop ended with a declaration from the attendees, with recommendations to the EEA and European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity, to take into account the outputs of the workshop, which identify weaknesses in the current classification and include proposals for its modification, and to devise a process to further develop the marine component of the EUNIS habitat classification.

ABSTRACT

O crescente aumento da obesidade tem levado cada vez mais pessoas a ter algum tipo de doença crônica não transmissível como o diabetes mellitus tipo II, cujo número de portadores vem aumentando nos últimos anos. Portanto, o presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a glicemia capilar em jejum após 12 semanas de aulas de hidroginástica em homens e mulheres com diabetes mellitus tipo II. O estudo contou com a participação de 29 indivíduos de ambos os sexos, distribuídos em um grupo masculino (n=10) e outro feminino (n=5) exercitados com hidroginástica, e, dois grupos controles, um masculino (n=5) e outro feminino (n=9). Foram avaliados a massa corporal (MC), o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e a glicemia capilar em jejum (GJ) no início do estudo (M0), após seis (M1) e 12 semanas de acompanhamento (M2). As aulas tiveram duração de uma hora, três sessões semanais, durante 12 semanas. Houve redução na MC entre (M0: 78,0±8,6kg e M2: 75,5±8,5 kg; p=0,01) e GJ entre (M0: 199,8±87,5mg/dL; M1: 125,0±38,6 mg/dL e M2: 138,0±40,4mg/dL; p=0,003), ambos para o grupo masculino exercitado. Quanto ao grupo hidroginástica feminino, houve redução significativa apenas para a GJ entre (M0: 213,8±77,1mg/dL e M2: 134,0±38,2mg/dL; p=0,04). Não houve diferença estatística quando comparados os grupos entre si. Em conclusão, a prática regular de hidroginástica favorece o controle da massa corporal assim como da glicemia em jejum de diabéticos tipo II. No entanto, tais efeitos necessitam ser melhor investigados quanto à influência do gênero e à idade dos indivíduos, particularmente em mulheres no climatério.


The growing increase in obesity has led more and more people to some kind of cronic non-transmittable disease such as diabetes mellitus type II, whose number of patients has increased in recent years. Thus, this paper aimed to evaluate the fasting glycaemia after 12 weeks of hydrogymnastics classes in men and women with diabetes mellitus type II. The study counted on the participation of 29 individuals from both sexes, distributed in a male group (n=10) and in a female (n=5) exercised with water aerobics, and two control groups, a male (n=5) and a female (n=9). Body mass (BM), body mass index (BMI) and fasting glycaemia (FG) were assessed at the beginning of the study (M0), after six (M1) and 12 weeks of follow-up (M2). Classes lasted for an hour, three week sessions, for twelve weeks. There was a reduction on BM between (M0: 78.0±8.6 and M2: 75.5±8.5kg; p=0.01) and FG between (M0: 199.8±87.5; M1: 125.0±38.6 mg/dL and M2: 138.0±40.4 mg/dL; p=0.03), both for the male group exercised. About the female hydrogymnastics group, there was significative reduction only for the FG between (M0: 213.8±77.1mg/dL and M2: 134.0±38.2mg/dL; p=0.04). There was no statistical difference when the groups were compared among themselves. In conclusion, the regular practice of hydrogymnastics favors the body mass control just like the fasting glycaemia in diabetes type II porters, however, such effects need an in depth investigation, about the influence of gender and age of the individuals, particularly in women on climacteric.

ABSTRACT

This study aims at understanding the link among labor, mental distress, and psychosocial rehab from the point of view of people with either mental disorders or psychoactive substance addiction, regarding the meaning of laboring in their lives. The study took place in Psychosocial Attention Centers(CAPS), in the city of Goiânia, State of Goiás, Brazil. There were eight participants of both genders, who would consider labor something important in their daily lives. Two different types of data were used, as to mention, qualitative and exploratory methodology, by means of a focal group. The content analysis was used in evaluating the data provided. The results point at the importance of rescuing the history of labor among CAPS users. It is also of significance the profusion of meanings attributed to working by the users of mental health services. Labor proves to have an interface that is understood as a factor of protection and/or worsening of the condition of the subjects. The exclusion processes are reflected by the difficulty in obtaining social security/welfare benefits.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo busca compreender a relação entre trabalho, adoecimento mental e reabilitação psicossocial a partir da narrativa de pessoas portadoras de transtorno mental e usuárias de substâncias psicoativas sobre o sentido do trabalho. O estudo ocorreu em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) da cidade de Goiânia (GO), do qual participaram oito pessoas adultas e de ambos os sexos, que traziam o trabalho como algo importante em suas vivências. Utiliza-se de metodologia qualitativa e exploratória, por meio da realização de grupo focal. Para o tratamento dos dados, utiliza-se a análise temática. Os resultados apontam os sentidos do trabalho enquanto existencialização e identidade social, autonomia e sociabilidade. Na interface com a saúde mental, o trabalho surge como protetor e/ou adoecedor mental. Os processos de exclusão social dos participantes ocorrem através da dificuldade de acesso à seguridade social relacionada ao trabalho e ao preconceito social vivido na tentativa de ingresso ao mundo do trabalho. Enquanto possibilidade de (re) inserção social, o estudo mostrou que os CAPS têm dificuldades em propor alternativas de inclusão pelo trabalho, apesar da melhoria de vida promovida pelo acompanhamento psicossocial.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: O MINI é uma entrevista diagnóstica padronizada breve (15-30 minutos), compatível com os critérios do DSM-III-R/IV e da CID-10, que é destinada à utilizacão na prática clínica e na pesquisa em atencão primária e em psiquiatria, e pode ser utilizada por clínicos após um treinamento rápido (de 1 a 3 horas). A versão Plus do MINI, mais detalhada, gera diagnósticos positivos dos principais transtornos psicóticos e do humor do DSM-IV. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de quatro estudos de validação do instrumento, realizados na Europa e nos EUA. Métodos: Os estudos 1 (França) e 2 (EUA) testaram a confiabilidade - entre avaliadores e teste-reteste - da versão DSM-III-R do MINI (n=84, sendo 42 pacientes psiquiátricos de cada centro) e sua validade com relação ao CIDI (n=346, sendo 296 pacientes psiquiátricos e 50 controles) e ao SCID-P (n=370, sendo 308 pacientes psiquiátricos e 62 controles), respectivamente. O estudo 3 testou a validade de diagnósticos gerados por clínicos gerais usando o MINI (DSM-IV) com relação aos diagnósticos clínicos habituais de psiquiatras, em 409 pacientes de centros de atenção primária de quatro países (França, Espanha, Itália e Reino Unido). O estudo 4 testou a confiabilidade entre avaliadores (n=20 pacientes psiquiátricos) e a validade dos módulos Transtornos Psicóticos, Depressão e Mania do MINI Plus - DSM IV (n=104 pacientes psiquiátricos) com relação a dois critérios de referência: diagnósticos do CIDI e diagnósticos clínicos de psiquiatras. Análises quantitativas (índices de concordância e de validade) e qualitativas (razões de discordância) foram realizadas. Resultados: Os índices de confiabilidade do MINI (estudos 1 e 2) e do MINI Plus (estudo 4) foram globalmente satisfatórios. Comparados a vários critérios de referência (CIDI, SCID-P, opinião de peritos), em diferentes contextos (unidades psiquiátricos e centros de atenção primária), o MINI e o MINI Plus mostraram qualidades psicométricas similares às de outras entrevistas diagnósticas padronizadas mais complexas, permitindo uma redução de 50 por cento ou mais no tempo da avaliação. Análises qualitativas identificaram dificuldades e erros diagnósticos ligados aos casos, métodos de avaliação e critérios de diagnósticos estudados. Modificações foram introduzidas para corrigir os problemas identificados e otimizar as propriedades psicométricas do MINI e do MINI Plus. Conclusões: O MINI e sua versão Plus são adaptados ao contexto clínico e à avaliação de...

A versao Plus do MINI, mais detalhada, gera diagnosticos positivos dos principais transtornos psicoticos e do humor do DSM-IV. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de quatro estudos de validacao do instrumento, realizados na Europa e nos EUA. Metodos: Os estudos (Franca) e 2 (EUA) testaram a confiabilidade - entre avaliadores e teste-reteste - da versao DSM-III-R do MINI (n=84, sendo 42 pacientes psiquiatricos de cada centro) e sua validade com relacao ao CIDI (n=346, sendo 296 pacientes psiquiatricos e 50 controles) e ao SCID-P (n=370, sendo 308 pacientes psiquiatricos e 62 controles), respectivamente. O estudo 3 testou a validade de diagnosticos gerados por clinicosgerais usando o MINI (DSM-IV) com relacao aos diagnosticos clinicos habituais de psiquiatras, em 409 pacientes de centros de atencao primaria de quatro paises (Franca, Espanha, Italia e Reino Unido). O estudo 4 testou a confiabilidade entre avaliadores (n=20 pacientes psiquiatricos) e a validade dos modulos Transtornos Psicoticos, Depressao e Mania do MINI Plus - DSM IV (n=104 pacientes psiquiatricos) com relacao a dois criterios de referencia: diagnosticos do CIDI e diagnosticos clinicos de psiquiatras. Analises quantitativas (indices de concordancia e validade) e qualitativas (razoes de discordancia) foram realizadas. Resultados: Os indices de confiabilidade do MINI (estudos 1 e 2) e do MINI Plus (estudo 4) foram globalmente satisfatorios. comparados a varios criterios de referencia (CIDI, SCID-P, opiniao de peritos), em diferentes contextos (unidades psiquiatricas e centros de atencao primaria), o MINI e o MINI Plus mostraram qualidades psicometricas similares as de outras entrevistas diagnosticas padronizadas mais complexas, permitindo uma reducao de 50ou mais no tempo de avaliacao. Analises qualitativas identificaram dificuldades e erros diagnosticos ligados aos casos, metodos de avaliacao e criterios de diagnosticos estudados. Modificacoes foram introduzidas para corrigir os problemas identificados e otimizar as propriedades psicometricas do MINI e do MINI Plus. Conclusoes: O MINI e sua versao Plus sao adaptados ao contexto clinico e a avaliacao de pacientes mais graves, e representam uma alternativa economica para a selecao de pacientes, segundo criterios internacionais, em estudos clinicos epidemiologicos. O MINI ja esta disponivel em aproximadamente 30 idiomas, incluindo a versao brasileira. As perspectivas atuais de adaptacao e aplicacao transcultural do instrumento sao discutidas.
