Esta é uma pesquisa quantitativa que tem como objetivo analisar os valores de família de estudantes universitários portugueses e brasileiros. Pesquisou-se 605 universitários, sendo 225 da Universidade da Madeira (Portugal) e 380 da Universidade de Fortaleza (Brasil). Utilizou-se a dimensão família do Questionário adaptado do European Values Survey, englobando questões sobre atitudes dos progenitores, número de filhos e qualidades a ensinar às crianças/jovens. A maioria dos participantes eram do sexo feminino e solteiros, apresentando os estudantes brasileiros scores mais elevados em relação às atitudes antiquadas dos pais acerca dos princípios morais e ao número de filhos, atribuindo importância às qualidades coragem, responsabilidade, respeito, perseverança, fé, generosidade, enquanto os portugueses outorgam maior importância à economia. Os resultados permitem inferir que as crenças, os valores e as qualidades dos jovens espelham a família, a sociedade envolvente e o mundo globalizado.
AbstractAim: The aim of this study was to describe the successful epilation of intraoral grafts using the diode laser system.Methods and Results: Two male patients at a 12‐month follow‐up – who underwent radical resection of oral cancer located in the mouth floor and tongue followed by reconstruction with cutaneous flap – showed hypertrichosis in the graft region, leading to dysphagia and dysphonia. The diode (980 nm) laser was performed for both cases in order to remove the ectopic hair. Excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes with total hair removal and alteration of the tissue surface were achieved.Conclusions: There is no currently standard protocol for the laser epilation use on hairy grafts because each graft required a different number of sessions for total epilation. The diode laser system appears to be a successful therapeutic option for patients suffering from hypertrichrosis in the oral cavity.
Introduction: Due to advancements in vaccination, the morbidity and lethality rates of Covid-19 have diminished significantly. Consequently, there has been a substantial decline in severe cases, underscoring the importance of long-term monitoring for individuals. In response to this imperative, a prototype device for evaluating the respiratory patterns of Covid-19-affected individuals has been conceptualized, necessitating specialized software for data analysis and processing. Objective: To develop a system for analyzing variables of the respiratory pattern for application in post-Covid-19 patients. Methodology: The desktop application of the device was developed using the Electron framework, incorporating the React graphical interface library and JavaScript for algorithm development to analyze respiratory flow and volume curves. HTML and CSS were employed for screen structuring and styling. The measured respiratory flow signal underwent numerical calculation techniques and algorithms for time-series analysis based on respiratory cycle intervals. Derived variables included respiratory rate, inspiratory, expiratory, and total time, inspiratory and expiratory flow and volume, minute inspiratory and expiratory volume, inspiratory capacity, and vital capacity. System validation involved comparing the flow signal acquired by the device with that of a Hans Rudolph Pneumotachograph (standard method) using Bland-Altman plots. Results: The RDA Analysis software, integrated with interfaces for patient records and flow/volume vs. time graphs, captured respiratory cycles during rest breathing and incorporated slow inspiratory and vital lung capacities. The RDA Sync software was developed as an auxiliary program, synchronizing and simultaneously analyzing multiple patient exams. Bland-Altman analysis revealed a bias of 0.48 L/min, with agreement limits of -10.7 and 11.6 L/min (p-value < 0.0001). Conclusion: The respiratory flow measured by the device exhibits high concordance with the gold standard. The developed software strengthens the device as a minimum viable product, currently employed to monitor respiratory pattern dysfunctions in post-Covid patients. This enhances the precision of the examination, providing quantitative and qualitative information for diagnostic assessment of respiratory functionality.
International audience ; Building bridges between environmental and political agendas is essential nowadays in face of the increasing human pressure on natural environments, including wetlands. Wetlands provide critical ecosystem services for humanity and can generate a considerable direct or indirect income to the local communities. To meet many of the sustainable development goals, we need to move our trajectory from the current environmental destructive development to a wiser wetland use. The current article contain a proposed agenda for the Pantanal aiming the improvement of public policy for conservation in the Pantanal, one of the largest, most diverse, and continuous inland wetland in the world. We suggest and discuss a list of 11 essential interfaces between science, policy, and development in region linked to the proposed agenda. We believe that a functional science network can booster the collaborative capability to generate creative ideas and solutions to address the big challenges faced by the Pantanal wetland.
