The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of music on psychophysiological responses in a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) protocol with preferred (PM), nonpreferred (NPM) and no music (NM). Thirty-one physically active adults of both genders participated voluntarily. All subjects were exposed to all protocols. Before starting the sessions, an anamnesis was used in order to measure data on PM and NPM during the exercise (Visual Analog Scale for Musical Taste). Seven days before the first intervention, a maximal exercise test of maximal speed at maximal measurement was performed. The Subjective Perceived Exertion (PSE6-20) and the Affect Scale (AFETO+5/ -5) were used during the study in 10 bouts of 60 seconds of exercise for 60 seconds of passive rest (60": 60"). Results showed regular criteria of normality and sphericity. A one-way ANOVA test with repeated measures [F(2, 26) = 9,703; p<0.05] followed by the Sidak post-hoc showed that HIIT with PM generated lower PSE6-20 and higher AFETO value compared to the use of HIIT with NPM and NM. It is concluded that MP is reduced, which consequently makes HIIT on the treadmill more tolerable and probably a more efficient way of training, increasing and improving physical exercise performance.

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) may reduce postoperative complications of obesity-associated restrictive pulmonary syndrome. We evaluated the effects of NIV use after extubation in patients undergoing bariatric surgery on acute changes in lung function. A randomized clinical trial was performed with patients in the immediate postoperative period of bariatric surgery. The intervention group used NIV for 1 hour after arrival at the post-anesthesia recovery room, the control group received standard care. Pulmonary function assessment was performed preoperatively, immediately after surgery and 1 hour after arrival in the recovery room. Statistical analysis was performed using the Generalized Estimation Equations test and Bonferroni's post-hoc test. The significance level adopted was 0.05. A total of 46 individuals were evaluated, of which 31 were able to perform spirometry in the pre and immediate postoperative period. The sample consisted of 25 women, mean age of 42.55 ± 10.39 years and mean Body Mass Index of 50.82 ± 10.20. Preoperative spirometry showed that most patients had mild restrictive disorders (46.7% versus 43.8%) or no respiratory disorder (40% versus 31.3%). In the post-extubation evaluation, most patients had severe restrictive disorder (66.7% versus 53.8%), after one hour in the recovery room, 64.3% versus 60% of patients had severe restriction and 21.4% versus 20% severe obstruction. It was concluded that the use of prophylactic NIV did not improve pulmonary function in the immediate postoperative period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the present study was to compare BP after a concurrent training session (CT) and playful activities (LA) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) and to analyse the contribution of peripheral resistance and baroreflex in BP. Fifteen people living with HIV participated in the study, 9 women and 6 men aged 50.54 ± 10.81 years, time of ART use of 9.17 ± 4.97 years. All volunteers participated in one session of HT, one session of AL, and one session of control (CC). BP and heart rate (HR) were measured before and after the interventions for analyses of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total peripheral resistance (TPR) and low frequency (LF). The Shapiro-Wilk, Friedman, and Wilcoxon tests were performed; the significance level was p<0.05. Spearman's correlation coefficient test and Gohen's test (d) were also used to calculate the effect size. There was a statistically significant decrease in SBP and DBP after TC (SBP: before = 123 ± 14 mmHg; after = 114 ± 8 mmHg; DBP: before = 82 ± 11 mmHg; after = 74 ± 6 mmHg) and AL (SBP: before = 122 ± 15 mmHg; after = 115 ± 10 mmHg; DBP: before = 81 ± 11 mmHg; after = 76 ± 10 mmHg). There was a statistically significant increase in PTR in CC (PTR: before = 14.67 ± 3.06 mmHg·min-1·L; after = 15.57 ± 2.84 mmHg·min-1·L) and a statistically significant decrease in PTR and LF after TC (PTR: before = 15.85 ± 4.48 mmHg·min-1·L; after = 13.48 ± 4.55 mmHg·min-1·L; LF: before = 400.86 ± 376.68 ms²; after = 212.05 ± 252.19 ms²). We can conclude that both HT and AL cause hypotension in PLHIV. Both interventions can be applied to this population in order to improve cardiovascular health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: mineral and bone disorder (BMD) is a serious complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that increases risks for death from cardiovascular causes and impairs quality of life of affected patients. Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of BMD in patients with CKD and the association between estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and BMD indicators (calcium, phosphorus and PTH) in non-dialysis patients. Materials and Methods: sectional study of a two-year cohort of chronic renal adults and elderly patients on conservative treatment. BMD was identified by serum values of: PTH (> 150 pg/mL) and/or hypocalcemia (Ca < 8.8mg/dl) and/or hyperphosphatemia (P > 4.6 mg/dl). The statistical analysis used: Poisson regression; Student's T, Mann Whitney and Pearson and Spearman correlations with 5% significance level. Results: BMD prevalence was 54.6% (n=41) (95% CI: 43.45 - 65.43), more frequent in women, literate, elderly, non-drinkers, non-smokers, sedentary and white skin color. Correlations between P and PTH with GFRe were significant, inverse, moderate strength (p= <0.005 and p = 0.003; correlation coefficients = - 0.312 and - 0.379 respectively). the findings of this study highlighted gaps in the monitoring of BMD-DRC by primary care, requiring a review of clinical practices. Conclusion: robust prevalence of BMD in the early stages of CKD was identified, in addition to correlations between increased phosphorus and PTH levels and worsening kidney function.

Physical capacities, health and quality of life (QOL) are improved through physical exercise in individuals with Intellectual Disability (ID). The aim of the present study was to verify the association of physical fitness with the perception of physical well-being and QOL in individuals with ID. Sixteen individuals with ID were evaluated by bioimpedance, functional tests ("6-minute walk test" (6MIN), "Timed Up and Go" (TUG), "30-s Chair Stand" (L/S), and "medicine ball throw") and isokinetic dynamometer (lower limbs [LL]). The Personal Outcomes Scale (POS) was used to measure "Physical Well-Being" and "Total QoL". Pearson and Spearman correlations were applied (p< 0.05). Correlations were found only in the female gender between the muscular strength in the extension/flexion of the LL (60°/s) and the responses of the reference technicians in the domains of "Physical Well-Being" (respectively, r= 0.729, p= 0.026; r= 0.802, p= 0.009) and "Total QOL" (respectively, r= 0.706, p= 0.033; r= 0.767, p= 0.016). It was found that strength, endurance and aerobic capacity do not seem to be associated with the physical well-being and QOL of the sample. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between the highest value of the Reactive Strength Index (RSI) and sprint acceleration in basketball players. Seven basketball players (age 19 years± 2.16, height 1.85 meters± 0.04, body mass 80.16 kg± 12.20, BMI 24.21 km/m2± 3.33 and practice time 6.28 years± 2.75) at the regional level, from the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, were evaluated in the reactive strength index and acceleration in the sprint, at 0-10, 0-20 and 10-20 meters, measured by a contact platform and photocells, respectively. Data were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 software quantitatively through mean and standard deviation. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test was used and, after the result of non-normality of the data, the Spearman correlation. Negative and weak correlations were found between RSI and 0-10 meters (r= -0.107, p= 0.819), and negative and moderate correlation between RSI and 0-20 (r= -0.429, p= 0.337) and 10-20 meters (r= -0.214, p= 0.645). It can be concluded that experienced athletes may have a moderate correlation between the highest IFR values and a 20-meter sprint. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this article is to highlight the existence of the Territories of Death, Fear and RESISTANCE LGBTQIAP+ from the collection, reading and analysis of data that ranges from the violation of human rights to the construction of struggles, manifestations and claims in the Urban Space. The territories of death presented here were represented from the materialization of Hate Crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transvestite, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual Brazilians from the data provided by the Gay Group of Bahia between 2000 and 2019. The territories of fear were represented from the ongoing rape processes against LGBTQIAP+ bodies based on data provided by the Ministry of Family, Women and Human Rights. Finally, the Resistance Territories were represented by the number of Stops and similar actions built in different municipalities between 2006 and 2019. Violence directed at these bodies is motivated by some discourses that are supported, above all, by religion and some figures of public power. The "Territory of Death, Fear and Resistance LGBTQIAP+" map shows what we have the worst and cruelest. They are bodies considered "abnormal", "sick" or found in "sin", in this way, need or the healing that will reverse this "devious" body in a "normal" body or violence that punishes and eliminates the symbols that certain bodies carry. To achieve the proposed objective, the following methodological procedures will be used: data collection and treatment, comparative analysis of statistical data organized in maps and graphs, survey and reading of bibliography and cartographic production.

Pregnant women were considered risk population of serious infections by Sars-Cov-2, which caused the COVID-19 pandemic. The gestational period besides being marked by immunocompromise that facilitates contagion by viral infections, is also marked by physiological adaptations resulting from pregnancy that can favor dysfunctions related to pelvic floor muscles. The aim of the study was to analyze the discomfort related to the pelvic floor of pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-sectional observational study, performed remotely. The pregnant women answered an online, anonymous and self-administered questionnaire that contained sociodemographic questions and questions taken from the Pelvic Floor Discomfort Questionnaire (PFBQ). The normality of the data was tested by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and for the correlation between gestational age and the age of the participants, the Spearman Correlation Coefficient was used. A significance level of p <0.05 was considered. 277 participants were included. The results obtained show that the total score was low in the PFBQ (9.97 (6.31)), which indicates low discomfort related to the pelvic floor. No associations were found between the total score of the PFBQ questionnaire with gestational age (1st, 2nd or 3rd gestational trimester) (p = 0.08) or with the age of the participants included in the sample (p = 0.51). The pregnant women in the present study did not present any relevant complaints related to the pelvic floor during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is believed that more studies are needed to analyze the effects of the pandemic on the health of pregnant women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The diabetic neuropathy is a severe complication resulting from Diabetes Mellitus (DM), which can cause ulcerations in the feet and lead to amputations in the lower limbs (LL). The aim of the present study is to evaluate the feet, self-care and the neuropathy impairment of LL in individuals with Type 2 DM (DM2), as well as to correlate impairment with age, diagnosis time and glycemic control. Socio-demographic and anthropometric data were collected, and fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) tests were conducted, as well as clinic examination was applied to the feet. Plantar protective sensitivity was assessed, as well as the Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS), the Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ). Results were descriptively shown and the Spearman correlation test was adopted to correlate DM2 diagnosis time with NIS, NSS, age and HbA1C (p<0.05). Sixty-six individuals, at the age group 62 years (56-65) were evaluated. The physical examination showed signs of neuropathic foot and arterial insufficiency. There was change in the plantar protective sensitivity (48.5%), in the neuropathy impairment (48.5%) and in the neuropathy symptoms (59%). The combination between NIS and NSS diagnosed 33% of patients with peripheral diabetic neuropathy. There were weak positive correlation between age and DM2 diagnosis time, age and NIS, HbA1c and NSS, and among DM2 diagnosis time, NIS and NSS. The self-management items concerning the feet presented good adhesion. Conclusion: We found signs of neuropathic foot and insufficient arterial, these predictive factors of future foot ulcerations, weak positive correlation between age and time of diagnosis with neuropathic changes and good adherence to self-care with feet.

The dynamics of Chinese participation in the external relationship of the economy of Mato Grosso do Sul is related mainly to two factors. First, the Chinese development itself. Second, the development of the internal economy of Mato Grosso do Sul as a result of the dynamism of change in its productive chains that occurred from 2006/2009. The main objective of this article is to analyze the commercial relations between the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and China in relation to the profound transformations verified in the portfolio of the parties involved, between 1997 and 2019. Until 2004, China occupied only 2.94% of imports, with a limited portfolio of products and, in 2019, was the second main partner in imports with 19.71%. Exports followed the upward movement until China became the main trading partner of Mato Grosso do Sul. In 2003, exports to China totaled less than 3% and in 2019 they reached 40.94%. The methodology used consisted in the study of important works related to Chinese development and the dynamics of the internal economy of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, besides systematization and analysis of statistical data from official organisms. Thus, it is noted, through this analysis, that there was a gradual increase in China's participation in exports to the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, including greater diversification, adding there products with higher technological content, such as containers, electric motors, integrated circuits and chemical industry.

The patients that had discharge from hospital had median of RTS equal 7.83 and TRISS of 99. Moreover, 19 patients that home discharge, six need of orotraqueal intubation in hospitalar admission. Conclusion: The index demonstrated the gravity and prognostic of patients in the discharge hospital. However, the factors that interfered outcome (discharge or death) this patients were need admission IOT; head with segment most affected; and value less ou equal eight GCE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to analyze the Average Propulsive Speed (APS), Average Speed (AS), and Power (N) in two test conditions, tied or not tied versus beginner and trained. Sixteen male Paralympic powerlifting athletes participated in the research, with 28.60±7.60 years, 71.80±17.90 kg. Participants performed a 1 RM test to determine the maximum load. To collect the APS, AS, and N, the Speed 4Lift encoder was attached to the bar, and the percentages of loads of 40, 45, and 50% of 1RM were collected. The statistical analysis between the groups was made using a Two Way ANOVA, (condition-tied and not tied X training level - beginner and trained) with Post Hoc by Bonferroni. In the variables APS and AS, there was no difference between the groups, as well as between the conditions tied or not tied. The variable N had a difference between the athletes, in both conditions for 40% of 1 RM (p=0.024) in athletes trained in untied condition and athletes trained in tied condition (p=0.033). From the collected data, it is observed that athletes with 12 or more months of training have better performance on muscle power in both conditions than the untrained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research seeks to understand how the Right to Equality materializes, based on race and gender in the field of study TJ-SP between 1997 and 2017. For this purpose, the methodology used, uses bibliographic and documentary research, case study in TJSP and statistical analysis using data from the National Council of Justice - CNJ and -TJ-SP. As a result of the study, women, especially black women, experience historical barriers reflected in the Constitution, which are characterized as a remnant of inequalities in the realization of mobility to positions of power. In this light, the study allows us to consider that a close look at the Right to Equality is necessary so that it is not seen merely through the lens of formal equality, but material. Therefore, it is essential to create policy publics designed and implemented with the social segment to which these policies address as protagonists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: assess content validity of the instrument to evaluate degree of dependence on users - GDU, according to relevance, objectivity and clarity, with the judges. Method: It's a descriptive exploratory study, which is proposed to verify, through specialists opinion, the legibility and the clarity of the instrument content. The Instrument was submitted to evaluation by a group of specialists, through the application of the Delphi technique. With the responses, the data statistical analysis was made through the Weighted Kappa coefficient (K). Results: There was obtained concordance values from 0.52 to 0.93, in the first round and 0.72 to 1.0 in the second round after suggested adjustments. Conclusion: Is that there was statistical evidence between the judges, indicating GDU's adequacy regarding its content, considering the Fleiss' concordance index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to verify the impact of the bundles and the interprofessional learning for the prevention of mechanical ventilation-associated pneumonia of an intensive care unit (ICU). Method: This was a quasi-experimental study performed in an ICU of a public hospital in Diamantina, Minas Gerais. Were included in this study 56 professionals who provided direct assistance to patients in mechanical ventilation. The data collection took place in three phases: pre-intervention, which consisted of direct observation and interview; intervention, in which training was performed through clinical simulations; and post-intervention, in which the impact of the strategies implemented through direct observation, was evaluated. Differences between pre and post groups were assessed using McNemar's test. An alpha level of 0.05 set a priori was used, and a Bonferroni correction determined statistical significance for the case of multiple comparisons. Results: After the intervention, there was increased adherence to endotracheal cuff pressure (8.10%), daily interruption of sedation (16.67%) and subglottic aspiration (18.75%). It was significant (p < 0,0083) in the associations between the professional category versus non-aspiration, bed head positioning, oral hygiene frequency and the type of hand hygiene after intervention. Conclusions: There is still a gap to be detected in the bundle implementation and the positive impact generated by the inter-professional knowledge, mainly because it is not immediate but in the long term to obtain the desired feedback.

The goal of the research was to determine whether learners of French are able to accurately assess the quality of their pronunciation. Study participants were Polish students of Applied Linguistics (n = 25). Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire containing items related to their beliefs about pronunciation, as well as to self-evaluate their pronunciation. Four basic components were taken into consideration: sounds, intonation, accentuation and liaisons. Next, the subjects were recorded while reading a text. Immediately after the completion of the recording, they were asked to assess one more time the quality of their pronunciation. The recordings were then submitted to three judges (experienced French teachers). Statistical analysis of the data showed that students tended to perceive their abilities in a less favourable light immediately after the recording. This decrease was found to be in concordance with the scores attributed by the judges, proving that students are able to correctly evaluate the quality of their pronunciation, but also that the context of self-assessment is a crucial factor.
