This essay aims to analyze the narratives about the Amazon region by naturalist travelers Wallace, Humboldt, Spruce and Waterton about the fauna, flora and Amazonian people of the 19th century mentioned by John Hemming in his text Naturalists in Paradise: Wallace, Bates and Spruce in the Amazon. In addition to discussing in the field of language the duality of narratives where the region and its people are represented by the extremes of empty and full, magnificent and hideous, paradisiacal and hellish. This reading of the past is necessary due to the possibility of creating new imaginaries in the present, in addition to rethinking the crystallizations manifested in today's thoughts generated in yesterday. The narratives were selected based on the contradictory meaning present in their content and analyzed through the prism of the categories of racialization, Amazonianism and language addressed by Souza (2017), Albuquerque (2016), Williams (1979) and others. With the analysis of the narratives, it became evident that nature was positioned above the subjects, reflecting a hierarchy that permeated the naturalists' descriptions. Furthermore, travelers were predisposed to confirm their preconceived ideas during their journeys, shaping their perceptions and interpretations to align with their preconceptions.

Os insetos parasitoides possuem grande importância ecológica e econômica, pois atuam como reguladores de populações de insetos fitófagos, controlando pragas florestais e agrícolas. No entanto, apesar da sua relevância, os parasitoides ainda podem ser considerados como pouco estudados na região Norte do Brasil. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho é registrar pela primeira vez a espécie Ceyxia pseudovillosa Andrade & Tavares, 2009 (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) no estado do Acre, oriunda de coleta por armadilha Malaise na terra indígena Puyanawa, Mâncio Lima, Acre. Este registro aumenta tanto o conhecimento acerca das espécies de Chalcididae ocorrentes no estado do Acre, bem como o conhecimento acerca da distribuição geográfica dessa espécie no Brasil.

O presente estudo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa com procedimentos bibliográficos, na qual objetivou-se identificar concepções alternativas relacionadas a conceitos matemáticos que são recorrentes, nos erros dos estudantes, presentes nos trabalhos científicos publicados. Como suporte teórico, utilizou-se o conceito de Concepções Alternativas sob diferentes perspectivas teóricas, assim como o conceito de Obstáculos Epistemológicos de Gaston Bachelard. Foi levantada, para a análise de dados, uma concepção alternativa em Aritmética especificamente relacionada ao conceito de fração, uma em Álgebra relacionada a produtos notáveis e outra em Geometria sobre o conceito de área e perímetro. Os resultados obtidos poderão orientar novas pesquisas, bem como os professores de matemática a criarem estratégias didáticas que possibilitem melhores níveis de aprendizagem no ensino de matemática e, consequentemente, a aprendizagem significativa dos estudantes.

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to characterise the surface properties of chicken breasts, and evaluate the wettability properties of edible coatings based on carrageenan and glycerol, using varying concentrations of the biopolymer and plasticiser. The surface of the chicken breasts was characterised as of low energy, with a surface tension of 54.56 mN/m, whose polar and dispersive components were 39.79 mN/m and 14.77 mN/m, respectively. The results showed that with an increase in the carrageenan concentration of the film-forming solution there was a reduction in the values for adhesion and spreading. Coatings with a higher glycerol concentration also obtained a lower spreading coefficient. Solutions 1 (carrageenan 1% and glycerol 0%), 2 (carrageenan 1% and glycerol 1%) and 3 (carrageenan 1% and glycerol 2%) did not differ statistically, obtaining the highest values for spreadability. Solution 1 (carrageenan 1% and 0% glycerol) presented the highest numerical values. For carrageenan coatings on chicken breasts, the best spreading coefficient was -4.49 mN/m.

The present work aims to identify the predictive power of psychosocial factors at work (work and family conflict, bullying at work, work stress), and sociodemographic and health variables for the outcome of psychological distress in public health professionals during the pandemic. It is a quantitative study, with a sample composed of 478 public health professionals during COVID-19. The instruments, applied online, were sociodemographic, work and health data sheet; questionnaire on psychosocial risk factors at work; the Work-Family Conflict Scale, and the Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation- Outcome Measures (CORE-OM). Data analysis was executed by multiple linear regression. Work-family conflict was the main cause of psychological distress, followed by bullying at work, family-work interaction, and prior psychiatric/psychological diagnosis. These variables predicted 37.8% of the sample's psychological distress. It should be noted that the pandemic may have contributed to the escalation of existing symptoms. These psychosocial risk factors, particularly work-family conflict, should be considered when planning interventions that aim to promote mental health.

O presente trabalho, intitulado “Formas de narrar: três narrativas orais das/nas Amazônias”, apresenta três análises referentes a contextos amazônicos, buscando, a partir das reflexões de Paul Zumthor sobre oralidade e narrativas orais, exemplificar como estas categorias podem ser articuladas para diferentes fins, seja na transmissão de conhecimento tradicional passado de geração em geração, seja para fins de lutas políticas e/ou artísticas, tendo como ponto de conexão os pluriversos amazônicos que emergem e consolidam formas outras de produção do saber. Como aporte teórico para as discussões aqui apresentadas utilizamos textos como os de Paul Zumthor (1997, 2007), Hampaté Bâ (2010), Walter Benjamin (1987), Alessandro Portelli (2016), Antonieta Antonacci (2014) entre outros.

O artigo foi desenvolvido com base no projeto de pesquisa de organização da Coleção de Fotografias do Real Gabinete Português de Leitura. De um universo de cerca de duas mil e seiscentas imagens, que cobrem cem anos (1920-2020), selecionaram-se para este artigo fotos entre 1920 e 1950, perí­odo em que o Rio de Janeiro era capital do Brasil, concentrando número expressivo de imigrantes portugueses, e o Real Gabinete era cenário de eventos significativos da luso-brasilidade. As imagens selecionadas mos­tram que o Real Gabinete cumpria a finalidade de marco arquitetônico da história de Portugal na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, de celebração de uma narrativa histórica de união Brasil-Portugal.

Bathymetry is a crucial information for understanding coastal geomorphological processes. This study aims to evaluate the applicability of Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) as a low-cost alternative for coastal geomorphological mapping in Angels Cove. Sentinel-2B images were used for generation of SDBs of coastal environments by two empirical methodologies. Depths were measured in situ by echo sounding for calibration and validation of the models. The models of Angels Beach calibrated with 100% and 50% of the control points were evaluated for cost and time reduction. All SDBs of Angels Beach presented similar geomorphological features and statistics results, with correlations of r ≅ 0.94 both in calibration and validation. When considering half of the control points for model calibration, the total cost for the mapping is estimated to reduce by approximately 50%. A SDB of a submerged sandbar was also mapped with a correlation of r ≅ 0.98 with depth field data. SDB can be used for a quick and low-cost assessment of the geomorphology in Angels Cove. New SDB models can be evaluated from higher spatial resolution satellites to reduce errors.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the contexts of care transition for individuals with mental disorders in the Brazilian setting. Methods: A contextual analysis was conducted through a scoping review. The search for studies was conducted in databases and thesis and dissertation portals, and the analysis was based on immediate, specific, general, and meta-contexts. Results: The sample, consisting of eight studies, indicated that the following factors are present in the contexts where care transition occurs: Peculiarities of care transition for individuals with mental disorders; Perspectives that can strengthen or weaken this transition; Approaches proposed in the past for the development of care transition; and Elements related to Brazilian legislation. Final Considerations: It is observed that the transition of care for individuals with mental disorders in Brazil takes place in various contexts of care levels. These variations present significant potentials and barriers in the care scenarios.

Extracellular vesicle (EV) production by bacteria is an important mechanism for microbial communication and host-pathogen interaction. EVs of some bacterial species have been reported to contain nucleic acids. However, the role of small RNAs (sRNAs) packaged in EVs is poorly understood. Here, we report on the RNA cargo of EVs produced by the pig pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causal agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, a disease which causes substantial economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. The EVs produced by aerobically and anaerobically grown bacteria were only slightly different in size and distribution. Total cell and outer membrane protein profiles and lipid composition of A. pleuropneumoniae whole cell extracts and EVs were similar, although EVs contained rough lipopolysaccharide compared to the smooth form in whole cells. Approximately 50% of Galleria mellonella larvae died after the injection of EVs. RNAseq, RT-PCR, protection from nuclease degradation, and database searching identified previously described and 13 novel A. pleuropneumoniae sRNAs in EVs, some of which were enriched compared to whole cell content. We conclude that A. pleuropneumoniae EVs contain sRNAs, including those known to be involved in virulence, and some with homologs in other Pasteurellaceae and/or non-Pasteurellaceae. Further work will establish whether the novel sRNAs in A. pleuropneumoniae EVs play any role in pathogenesis.

O presente trabalho propõe analisar as analogias utilizadas nos livros didáticos de Matemática do 9° ano relacionadas com o Ensino do Conceito de Função. Fundamenta-se na potencialidade cognitiva atribuída às analogias como ferramentas de ensino e de aprendizagem, e no mapeamento estrutural proposto por Gentner (1983) e colaboradores. A análise teve como objetivo identificar a presença de analogias utilizadas no Ensino do Conceito de Funções, presentes em oito livros didáticos de Matemática do 9° ano, aprovados pelo PNLD (2020). A revisão de literatura da temática indicou a falta de pesquisas sobre a utilização de analogias no ensino de Matemática. Já os resultados da pesquisa acerca das análises das analogias presentes nos livros didáticos, por meio do Mapeamento Estrutural, evidenciam que as comparações utilizadas nesses livros acerca do conceito de função se configuram como analogias estruturalmente consistentes com possibilidades didáticas. Nesse sentido, este trabalho pretende ser uma contribuição às pesquisas que investigam a temática aqui proposta, de utilização de analogias no ensino de Matemática.

Fish consumption has been growing since 1961. Indeed, the fisheries sector is essential to prevent hunger and malnutrition. However, this sector has its challenges. Fish stocks are being depleted beyond biological sustainability, with diseases and biosecurity risks to production and harm to the environment and ecosystems. There is a clear need to improve fish farming with minimum occupation and environmental impact. Heterotrophic and aquaponics systems are being utilized and modified to address these needs. However, environmental factors can affect the innate immunity of fish raised in these systems. Understanding how these systems affect fish’s immunity is critical to prevent potential hazards and the breakdown of these production methods. The goal of this research was to evaluate the performance, growth, and phagocytic indexes of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) juveniles reared in water recirculation, biofloc, and aquaponics systems in consortium with watercress seedlings (Nasturtium officinale). In each system, 12 juveniles weighing 15.2 g±7,6 were randomly divided into three replicates, fed with commercial feed. The following physical-chemical parameters - temperature, total and toxic ammonia, nitrite, and water pH - were daily assessed. Fishes were weighed monthly for six months. It was observed that R. quelen juveniles reared in the aquaponic system achieved higher average weight, but no statistical significance was detected (p>0.05) when compared to those reared in the recirculated and biofloc systems. At the end of the experiment, the phagocytic index was lower only in the recirculating system. The phagocytic capacity was lower in all systems. Although the aquaponic system presented low average weight gain/animal the performance of this system was effective in reducing the concentrations of total ammonia and nitrite in the water, in consortium with the production of vegetables.
