To evaluate hematological and biochemical parameters after testing in a new environment, and the zootechnical performance of Oreochromis niloticus classified as proactive or reactive. In experiment 1, male Nile tilapia with an average weight of 128.33 ± 34.17 g were kept in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). Immediately after classification, blood samples were collected from 20 reactive and 20 proactive animals. In experiment 2, 60 proactive and 60 reactive males were classified, with an average weight of 88.23 ± 21.59 g, which were divided into the following treatments: PT (40 proactive animals), RT (40 reactive) MT (20 proactive + 20 reactive ). Animals were fed twice daily for 90 days. In experiment 1, reactive animals had higher amounts of hemoglobin and cortisol and lower amounts of leukocytes detected. In experiment 2, weight gain was greater in proactive animals (PT) and reactive animals (RT); however, the best feed conversion was obtained in reactive animals. The survival rate was lower in the MT treatment group of animals. Hemoglobin and glucose had lower values for proactive animals and for those that were mixed, in the MT group. Cholesterol was higher in animals PT. It is concluded that variables such as hemoglobin, cortisol, leukocytes and cholesterol are more likely to undergo changes between personality traits. Furthermore, it can be concluded that reactive and proactive O. niloticus, grown in separate environments, have the same potential for weight gain; however, the food conversion of reactive ones is better.

Rumination monitoring assesses dairy cows' health, reproduction, and welfare status. The present study evaluated whether increasing the milking frequency affects dairy cows' milk yield and daily rumination profile. The database was obtained from cows monitored using collars equipped with a rumination sensor. Cows were milked two (n = 9 and 379 cows) or three (n = 14 and 704 cows) times daily. Increased milking frequency improved (P ≤ 0.05) milk yield from 36.0 to 41.6 kg/cow/d. However, the milking frequency did not affect (P > 0.05) daily rumination or the proportion of diurnal rumination. Diurnal rumination (from 7 to 19 h) generally represents 46.3% of daily rumination. Cows milked twice daily showed a significant decrease in rumination rate, especially during the second daily milking, compared to cows milked three times daily. Thus, milking frequency affects milk yield and reduces rumination during milking. However, it does not affect daily rumination and the proportion of diurnal rumination and can be used as an acidosis marker regardless of milk frequency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose:Identify the main factors that significantly influence individuals living in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte / MG to donate blood. Design/methodology/approach: Methodologically, it was decided to develop a quantitative research, developed in the light of structural equation modeling, allowing the development of an exploratory behavioral model about the intention to donate blood. Findings: As main results, it was identified that the 'attitude towards screening' contributes significantly to the 'perception of safety' that the individual has about the process of blood donation. Research limitations/implications - Difficulty of access to the main hemotherapy center in the state, Minas Gerais Blood Bank Foundation (HEMOMINAS), a fact that prevented access to up-to-date data on the region's blood donation scenario. Practical implications - The indicators that are directly related to the practice of blood donation obtained statistically significant mean differences between the group of individuals who already donated blood and those who never donated, the former being more sensitive to calls for donation. Originality/value: There is a deepening of the knowledge of the variables that influence the individual who voluntarily performs an act such as blood donation. In this sense, this study provides inputs for the development of more assertive, efficient and effective blood donation public policies, contributing to the recovery of blood banks and raising the rate of donors in the country.

The objective of this research is to describe the meanings and practices from the values and principles that emerge during the humanized care provided by the surgical team to the geriatric patient scheduled for surgery. Through the qualitative and interpretive paradigm, and from an objectivist and methodological epistemic framework, the perception existing among surgeons on how humanized care should be towards the elderly is reflected. Ten surgeons were interviewed through semi-structured sessions, and the analysis was carried out using the matrix of categories with the support of the ATLAS Ti 8.0 ® program. The perception of surgeons regarding humanized care considers that care is strengthened during the higher education they receive at the university and is fortified through the norms that govern the profession, in the sense of always aiming for the well-being and respect for the dignity of patients, especially the most vulnerable.

L’articolo offre un’analisi comparativa e definitoria dei concetti di comportamento e di gioco nelle immagini del mondo linguistico di lingue non imparentate. Il problema dello studio sta nel fatto che non tutte le componenti comportamentali della categoria di relazioni sono collegate al gioco. Tale connessione esiste ed è espressa in alcuni tipi di relazioni negli aspetti semiotici e assiologici. Lo scopo di studio è quello di determinare le somiglianze e le differenze tra i significati comportamentali del gioco in italiano e inglese. Gli obiettivi dello studio prevedono un'analisi linguistica delle relazioni comportamentali di gioco negli aspetti linguistico culturali e cognitivi. Nella presente analisi, viene introdotto il concetto di Osservatore per studiare frammenti di immagini del mondo linguistico italiano e inglese che esprimono il comportamento di gioco. Nell'articolo si applica il concetto di Osservatore come soggetto percettivo-cognitivo e interprete della categoria di relazioni. I risultati dello studio comparativo mettono in luce le somiglianze e le differenze tra i lessemi che implementano i concetti il gioco e play in senso comportamentale, e le peculiarità della loro rappresentazione nelle lingue non imparentate. La ricerca condotta ha mostrato che, in primo luogo, il comportamento di gioco può essere, in una certa misura, visto come una semiotica delle relazioni, cioè ha una segno, che può essere interpretata e valutata; in secondo luogo, la caratteristica assiologica della categoria delle relazioni di gioco ha un'ampia gradazione valutativa, da valutazioni positive a quelle negative. In generale, si sostiene che, in italiano e in inglese, ci siano più valutazioni negative che positive, ci sono differenze nelle interpretazioni riscontrate attraverso l'analisi definitoria, nonostante le caratteristiche positive di base delle relazioni di gioco in italiano e in inglese.

Verificar o conhecimento de educadores sobre o Transtorno do Espectro Autista em uma escola pública do Paraná. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, de campo, de caráter quantiqualitativo, realizada por meio de um questionário aberto elaborado pelos pesquisadores e aplicado mediante entrevista. Participaram 12 profissionais mulheres, brancas (83,3%), com idade entre 27 e 49 anos, casadas (58,3%), com experiência profissional e especializações diversas, e apenas um vínculo empregatício. Após análise dos discursos individuais e coletivos, e posterior identificação das expressões-chave, das ideias centrais e das ancoragens, as respostas foram categorizadas seguindo três temáticas distintas: Características do Transtorno do Espectro Autista, Fragilidades no desenvolvimento e diagnóstico tardio, e, Posicionamento e conduta frente ao transtorno. Os educadores demonstram conhecimento moderado, mas há uma lacuna na identificação de seus sinais. As descobertas ressaltam a importância da capacitação para reconhecer e lidar com tal transtorno em ambientes escolares.

The objective of this retrospective longitudinal study was to assess whether the interruption of dental care due to COVID-19 impacted the oral health and behavior of pediatric patients with disabilities. Records of all patients treated at a referral center in 2022 were evaluated, obtaining demographic, dental and behavioral information at the initial, pre-pandemic and post-pandemic moments. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square, Student's T, and Fisher's tests were performed. Records of 71 patients were included, with a mean age of 7.24±4.16 years, comprising 56.3% boys and 43.7% girls. Among them, 78.9% were diagnosed with neurobehavioral alterations, and 21.1% presented only systemic alterations, without any neurological and/or behavioral involvement. At the initial consultation, 57.7% of patients had some treatment needs, while only 22.5% pre-pandemic and 70.4% post-pandemic. Good behavior was observed in 76.1% of patients both at the initial and post-pandemic consultations and in 84.5% pre-pandemic. Among the 17 patients with bad behavior post-pandemic, 12 had never behaved this way before (p=0.02). Protective stabilization was statistically more used post-pandemic than pre-pandemic (p=0.01). A worsening in the oral health and behavior of pediatric patients with disabilities due to COVID-19 was observed, returning to conditions similar to the initial consultation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article sought to analyze the behavioral attitudes contrary to discipline of former students in police training schools. As a methodology, a cross-sectional study was designed based on Python analysis, K-means cluster and ANOVA tests. 532 students participated in the study as cadets and second lieutenants, with an age range between 18 and 37 years. The results predicted that: 1) The students surveyed consider that seniority influences the change in the discipline at the institution. 2). The degree that the student has within the institution significantly influences the reasons for choosing the profession as a Police officer. 3). Sociodemographic variables such as grade, level of education and sex significantly influence the consideration that seniority affects behavior within the institution. In conclusion, there are students who break the rules causing harm to other members of the community and justify their behavior because they are old in the institution, considering that it is a privilege that they have earned with respect to other students. Likewise, the design of coexistence strategies by police training schools is a priority to minimize conduct contrary to discipline by former students and the timely application of the corrective measures necessary to establish a good school environment. The richness of the data obtained opens new research horizons on the discipline and its impact on educational environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bruxism has been receiving new classifications and definitions over the years. The objective of this study was to review the literature on definitions and updates about bruxism, etiology, and therapeutic possibilities. The search strategy was carried out using relevant keywords. Four databases were searched until May 2024. Duplicate studies were identified and excluded. Any language restrictions or publication period were considered. A total of fifty-three studies were included in the present review and a qualitative analysis was performed. Bruxism is defined as a masticatory muscle activity, which can occur during sleep and the day. It is subdivided into awake bruxism and sleep bruxism, according to the corresponding circadian rhythm. This definition denotes that bruxism should be considered a behavior and not a disorder, but it can be a risk factor for certain clinical consequences and can occur in healthy individuals. Studies indicate that the etiology of bruxism is probably multifactorial and that several underlying mechanisms may play a role in its genesis, including psychosocial factors. The definite diagnosis of bruxism is based on instrumental approaches, such as Electromyography and Polysomnography, combined with audio and video recordings. Intervention modalities are often related to the reduction of tooth wear through the use of stabilizing plates. However, pharmacological, behavioral, and psychological therapies are also common. In conclusion, bruxism is multifactorial and the reduction of clinical signs and symptoms is the most current therapeutic possibility, combining an approach in a multi-professional and interdisciplinary team.

RESUMO O inventário Child Behavior Checklist 6-18 (CBCL), de tradução brasileira “Inventário de Comportamentos da Infância e Adolescência”, avalia a competência social e problemas de comportamento em indivíduos de seis a 18 anos por meio do relato dos pais/responsáveis. Entretanto, seus estudos de evidências de validade e de precisão para o Brasil não são apresentados em seu manual comercializado, ao menos até o momento de realização desta pesquisa, segundo semestre de 2020. Desse modo, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as evidências de validade e precisão do CBCL no Brasil, por meio de revisão da literatura. Como resultado, foram encontradas seis publicações, que indicaram, em sua maioria, boas qualidades psicométricas. Entretanto, cautelas devem ser tomadas para a generalização dos dados para atual versão comercializada, pois os estudos investigaram versões anteriores do instrumental. Além disso, pesquisas mais atualizadas são necessárias e que abranjam um maior número de evidências de validade e precisão.

Não foi identificada correlação significativa dessas variáveis sobre a indicação do curso. Conclusão: O curso contribuiu para a aprendizagem dos profissionais com maior tempo de formação, maior experiência prévia nas etapas do processo de doação de órgãos e atuantes no setor de emergência.

RESUMO Objetivo Associar a ansiedade materna aos fatores sociodemográficos, pratica de aleitamento, hábitos bucais e ingresso da criança em creche entre mulheres surdas e ouvintes. Método Participaram deste estudo transversal retrospectivo comparativo, 116 mães (29 surdas e 87 ouvintes) de crianças na faixa etária entre dois e cinco anos. As mães surdas pertenciam a um centro de referência da cidade e as mães ouvintes foram contatadas em creches públicas, onde seus filhos estavam matriculados. As mães foram submetidas a entrevista sobre fatores socioeconômicos e relacionados ao desenvolvimento dos filhos, além de realizarem o preenchimento do Inventário Brasileiro de Ansiedade de Beck, nas versões para surdos e ouvintes, que foram instrumentos usados para avaliar a ansiedade. O teste de normalidade de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, os testes de Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney e Regressão de Poisson foram utilizados para análises estatísticas (p

O presente artigo visa analisar a influência do consumo de bebidas alcoólicas no comportamento de estudantes (adolescentes) moçambicanos e em especial da escola secundária da Manhiça. A metodologia usada foi abordagem mista (qualitativa e quantitativa) que através do questionário, entrevista e observação permitiu a recolha, obtenção de informações e tratamento de dados. Para este trabalho foi usado uma amostra aleatória de 120 estudantes da 11ª e 12ª classe e 10 professores. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que os alunos adolescentes iniciam o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas entre 14 e 17 anos de idade, sendo a idade dos 16 anos a que mais se destaca. Os alunos apresentam como causas do consumo de bebidas alcoólicas a influência dos amigos, das pessoas mais velhas, e, a partir de lazer, entre outros factores que influenciam o adolescente a consumir bebidas alcoólicas com vista a sua autoafirmação na sociedade e nos amigos. Nesta perspectiva foi possível aferir que o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas pelos estudantes adolescentes influencia negativamente no comportamento e no desempenho escolar.

A imagem corporal se expressa como uma representação mental que o indivíduo tem de seu próprio corpo e sofre influências por fatores socioculturais. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a percepção da autoimagem de praticantes de musculação das academias de ginástica da cidade de Porteiras-CE. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de campo, transversal, com uma abordagem quantitativa. Participaram deste estudo 100 indivíduos, 50 mulheres e 50 homens praticantes de musculação com idades entre 18 e 40 anos. A Imagem Corporal foi avaliada através do Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). O BSQ é um questionário autoaplicativo com 34 perguntas com seis possibilidades de resposta dentro de uma escala likert. A distorção de imagem corporal foi classificada como leve (70 a 90), moderada (90 a 110) ou intensa (>110). A análise dos dados foi realizada através de estatística descritiva, teste t através do software SPSS- 23, adotando um alfa de 0,05. O escore das questões do BSQ teve como média 62,50 ± 20,99 masculinos, e feminino 74,28 ± 27,44, classificados como nível de preocupação leve. Comparando os resultados de Peso, IMC e BSQ entre os grupos de homens e mulheres verificou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa para as variáveis BSQ e Peso. Verificou-se uma correlação fraca entre IMC e BSQ (r=0,290). Conclui-se que mulheres apresentam níveis de insatisfação corporal piores quando comparados com homens.

RESUMO O Objetivo deste trabalho é traçar um perfil dos incêndios em vegetação em 2 municípios mineiros: Juiz de Fora e Ubá. Foi analisada uma série temporal entre 2001 e 2007, analisando a quantidade de ocorrências, época do ano e horário de maior concentração de incêndios, vegetação atingida e exposição da vertente das ocorrências. De acordo com os resultados. Os meses entre junho e outubro foram os mais problemáticos e o horário entre 12 e 16 horas apresentou maior risco. A vegetação herbácea foi mais atingida nos dois municípios e a exposição da vertente influenciou decisivamente nas ocorrências de incêndios.

RESUMO Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar como a literatura aborda a paixão empreendedora, e quais teorias são utilizadas para relacioná-las ao comportamento empreendedor. Para mapear a literatura existente, adotou-se um projeto sistematizado de revisão de escopo, com busca nas bases de dados Web of Science e Scopus. O relatório da revisão foi elaborado seguindo o protocolo Prisma-SCR. Este estudo identificou algumas evidências, tais como: emoções são antecedentes para a motivação empreendedora, e empreendedores que são apaixonados por seus empreendimentos são mais propensos a perseverar e ter uma chance maior de sucesso. A paixão empreendedora desempenha um papel crucial no desenvolvimento de oportunidades, aquisição de recursos e engajamento dos funcionários, além de ser um fator irracional importante que afeta o processo empreendedor. A singularidade deste estudo reside na sua qualidade de ser a primeira revisão de escopo conduzida acerca da paixão empreendedora, constructo que merece uma análise aprofundada devido à sua influência positiva nos resultados no âmbito do empreendedorismo. A revisão de escopo sobre a paixão empreendedora pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de teorias e práticas relacionadas ao empreendedorismo, suscitando a criação de políticas públicas e decisões empresariais.

Resumo: O debate inato vs. aprendido continua presente na Academia, bem como na sociedade. Considerando tal cenário, este artigo apresenta o desdobrar das discussões que giram em torno das influências ambientais e genéticas, na gênese dos comportamentos. Para isso, primeiramente é apresentada uma reflexão acerca da definição de comportamento com a finalidade de apresentar o objeto da discussão, bem como a imprecisão em sua caracterização. Posteriormente, são destacadas as principais diferenças entre o pensamento behaviorista e o etológico, e em como essas diferenças impactaram a condução de pesquisas, além de sustentar discursos eugenistas e/ou discriminatórios. Por último, disserta-se sobre uma abordagem não-dicotômica ao tema, na forma dos Sistemas em Desenvolvimento, como uma proposta de superação do debate em questão.

Considering that infanticide can oppose the interests between offspring and parents, as well as between the two sexes, the aggressive behavior of adults against infants is considered a fundamental part of the organisms' strategy. Thus, this article aims to describe the types of infanticide, explaining the advantages of each biparental infanticidal behavior. The research was carried out using the Publish or Perish© software, with keywords such as "ethology", "infanticide" and "mammals", in English, Portuguese and Spanish. After selection and discarding, we selected 51 works, including scientific articles, theses and dissertations, covering a period of 40 years. We organized them systematically, separating the references into two approaches: (a) physiological and (b) sociobiological/ecological. The results indicate that infanticide behavior in mammals can be influenced by different factors, such as environmental stress, hormonal pathways, mainly oxytocin and vasopressin. Furthermore, studies have shown that there are individual differences in the behavioral response to parental care and infanticidal behavior, influenced by both the genotype and the environment in which individuals were raised. Infanticide behavior can also be seen as an adaptive parental strategy to increase the chances of survival and future reproduction. Ultimately, our results highlight the complexity of mammalian infanticide behavior, pointing to the importance of considering physiological, sociobiological and ecological factors in its analysis and interpretation.

Objective: was to find out preference for behaviors favorable to the practice of physical activity among schoolchildren and to estimate association with body weight. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 578 children in a municipality in southern Brazil was carried out. Children were classified according to their BMI z score. Mothers responded a validated questionnaire to assess children's preferences for behaviors favorable to the practice of physical activity. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed between each instrument question and the BMI z scores. Results: The prevalence of overweight was 36.1%. There was a higher prevalence of behaviors associated with the practice of physical activity. A positive, statistically significant and independent regression coefficient was observed between the lack of interest in playing sports and being overweight; and a negative, statistically significant and independent regression coefficient between the question related to the lack of interest in painting, drawing or reading magazines and lower overweight values. Conclusion: It can be concluded that children showed many behaviors favorable to the practice of physical activity. In addition, children's lack of interest in playing sports and children's interest in painting, drawing or reading magazines, both behaviors that imply lower caloric expenditure, were shown to be associated with excess weight.
