A CONDIÇÃO FEMININA EM MORNAS ERAM AS NOITES, DE DINA SALÚSTIO
No full textO presente trabalho, relacionado ao estudo desenvolvido pelo projeto de pesquisa intitulado Mulheres fortes: O conto africano de língua portuguesa de autoria feminina (PROBIC/FAPERGS), tem por objetivo analisar a condição feminina presente em nove contos da obra Mornas eram as noites, de autoria da escritora cabo-verdiana Dina Salústio. A partir da leitura de obras críticas de especialistas nas literaturas africanas de língua portuguesa, como Maria Aparecida Santilli (2007), Manuel Ferreira (1987), Pires Laranjeira (1995) e Simone Caputo Gomes (2006; 2013), assim como em artigos publicados em revistas acadêmicas, revisamos a fortuna crítica da autora com o intuito de conhecer seus temas. Nas nove narrativas, observamos que há figuras femininas diferenciadas, representando um amplo apanhado de todas as classes sociais e de diferentes idades. A grande maioria das histórias é narrada em primeira pessoa, o que aproxima o leitor da condição feminina e também funciona como uma espécie de pedido de cumplicidade por parte das narradoras para sentir-se parte desse emaranhado de sentimentos e situações em que elas se encontram.

ABSTRACT
This article, related to the study developed in the research project Strong Women: African short stories written by women writers (PROBIC/FAPERGS), aims to to analyze the women’s condition in 9 (nine) short stories in Warm were the nights, by the Cape Verdean writer Dina Salústio. From the reading of critical works by scholars of African Literature in Portuguese Language such as Maria Aparecida Santilli (2007), Manuel Ferreira (1987), Pires Laranjeira (1995) e Simone Caputo Gomes (2006, 2013), as well as articles in academic journals, we revised the critical works about the author to get a better knowledge of her themes. In the nine narratives, we noted that there are differentiated feminine figures, representing a broad view of all social classes and different ages. The majority of stories were narrated in the first person, which connect the reader to the women’s condition as well as it works as a kind of asking for partnership by the narrators to feel part of this connection of feelings and situations in which the characters are involved.

Association between early maternal depression and child growth: A group-based trajectory modeling analysis
No full textChildhood overweight and obesity have become a primary social and public health concern. Over the past 30 years, rates of childhood overweight and obesity in the United States have increased dramatically from 6% to 32%. Childhood obesity is also a health equity issue: overweight and obesity disproportionately affect more low-income and minority children than White and middle class children. A potential risk factor of interest is maternal depression. To date, there are mixed findings available on the association between maternal depression and childhood obesity development. To address these gaps in the literature, this study used innovative statistical techniques to explore: 1) The association between maternal depression at age 1 and/or age 3 and childhood obesity longitudinally; 2) The association between child-level factors (sleep, television viewing, outdoor play, and dietary intake) and at-risk growth trajectories from birth to age 9; 3) The association between clan-level factors (maternal involvement and breastfeeding duration) and at-risk growth trajectories from birth to age 9; 4) Differences in growth trajectory solutions by race/ethnicity; and 5) Common and unique risk factors that predict at-risk growth among children from different racial/ethnic groups.
This study used data from the Fragile Families Child Well Being Study (FFCWS) to investigate the research questions. FFCWS is a national dataset that has information on 4,898 women from predominantly non-marital, low-income, minority groups in the United States. This study used information collected at the birth of the child (wave 1) through age 9 (wave 5). The analytic sample consisted of 3,500 mother-children dyads. Group-based trajectory modeling, general linear models, and multivariable logistic regression were used to test the different research questions in the full sample and the stratified sample by race/ethnicity.
The results indicated that there was no association between maternal depression and childhood obesity development in this sample of low-income and mostly minority participants. Only maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and number of biological children were significant predictors of at-risk growth trajectories in the full sample. It was also found that there group-trajectory solutions were different based on race/ethnicity. Specifically, a three-group trajectory solution was found for the full sample and for the sample of White children. Among the samples of Black and Latino children, a two-group trajectory solution was found. The most worrisome results were found among Latino children who showed a rapid BMI z-score increase from birth until age 5, which placed them at an increased risk of overweight/obesity during early childhood. Also, child-level and clan-level factors were found to be associated differently with at-risk group membership by race/ethnicity. Suggestions for designing childhood obesity prevention interventions based on research are discussed. Implications for theory, policy, and future research are identified.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Maria Pineros Leano, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-17 at 12:00.The student, Maria Pineros Leano, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-04-17 at 12:10.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-04-17 at 14:28.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12306 on 2018-08-31 at 17:29:27Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:47:18Z (GMT).

Academic writting and criticism
No full textIn general, the academic-scientific genre arises from the need to disseminate knowledge produced through the scientific methods, with a discussion that also requires a scientific discourse framework. In Brazil, the scientific production and publication thereof are linked, much, funding given to research. But this picture of scientific ‘perfection’ is crossed by the reality of quantification, leaving often the qualitative aspect aside. Quantifying gains strength, as the productivity of a researcher is also evaluated by the number of papers presented or published at events and highly relevant journals in the scientific world, without considering the impact of the work on the author area of operation. And the search for compliance with numerical targets, called by someone as productivism, turns out to be more important than relevance and creativity of knowledge being exposed through academic writing.
Under the sharp blade of quantification and qualification, we present in this study, questions of an ethical nature and a survival as a researcher, i.e., exclusion or inclusion of the researcher in the university field
Genome-wide association study identifies a variant in HDAC9 associated with large vessel ischemic stroke
No full textGenetic factors have been implicated in stroke risk, but few replicated associations have been reported. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for ischemic stroke and its subtypes in 3,548 affected individuals and 5,972 controls, all of European ancestry. Replication of potential signals was performed in 5,859 affected individuals and 6,281 controls. We replicated previous associations for cardioembolic stroke near PITX2 and ZFHX3 and for large vessel stroke at a 9p21 locus. We identified a new association for large vessel stroke within HDAC9 (encoding histone deacetylase 9) on chromosome 7p21.1 (including further replication in an additional 735 affected individuals and 28,583 controls) (rs11984041; combined P = 1.87 × 10<sup>−11</sup>; odds ratio (OR) = 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.28–1.57). All four loci exhibited evidence for heterogeneity of effect across the stroke subtypes, with some and possibly all affecting risk for only one subtype. This suggests distinct genetic architectures for different stroke subtypes

Inspeção sanitária de suínos: análise comparativa entre pericardite e pleuropneumonia em suínos provenientes de regime intensivo
No full textO presente relatório de estágio apresenta as tarefas e as diversas atividades desempenhadas pela autora no contexto da inspeção sanitária de suínos e de pequenos ruminantes, no matadouro Matibom - Matadouro e Indústrias de Carne Lda. e na Divisão de Alimentação e Veterinária da Guarda, entre setembro e dezembro de 2023.
Elaborado no âmbito do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária da Universidade de Évora, o relatório incluí uma análise da casuística observada e, ainda, uma abordagem científica sobre o tema “Análise Comparativa entre Pericardite e Pleuropneumonia em Suínos Provenientes de Regime Intensivo”. Os objetivos principais são compreender os tipos de lesões anatomopatológicas características, as decisões sanitárias aplicadas e, sobretudo, determinar se existe uma relação entre a prevalência destas duas afeções em carcaças de suínos provenientes de sistemas de produção intensiva.
Ao longo do período de estágio, foram abatidos 25138 suínos, 943 leitões, 12771 ovinos e 1401 caprinos. As principais causas de reprovação total em carcaças de suíno incluíram pleuropneumonia purulenta, osteíte purulenta e a presença de abcessos múltiplos. No caso das carcaças dos ovinos e caprinos, as afeções mais frequentes foram a pleuropneumonia purulenta, caquexia e a presença de abcessos múltiplos. A pericardite fibrinosa foi identificada como o principal motivo para a rejeição parcial de corações em carcaças de suíno, enquanto parasitoses hepáticas foram a causa mais prevalente de reprovações parciais em carcaças de pequenos ruminantes.
A análise dos casos isolados de pericardite e pleuropneumonia revelou que o número de ocorrências de pericardite foi superior ao de pleuropneumonia ao longo dos meses. Contudo, a coexistência dessas afeções foi mais frequente do que a manifestação isolada de cada uma.
Este relatório de estágio evidencia igualmente a importância crucial do médico veterinário oficial enquanto promotor da defesa da saúde pública, assim como na preservação do bem-estar e da saúde animal no contexto do matadouro. A intervenção do médico veterinário oficial nas inspeções ante e post mortem é fundamental para garantir a segurança e qualidade dos produtos de origem animal, permitindo assim a identificação e o controlo de doenças; - Abstract:
Meat Inspection of Swine: Comparative Analysis between Pericarditis and Pleuropneumonia in Swine from Intensive Farming Systems
The report presents the tasks and various activities performed by the author in the context of sanitary inspection of swine and small ruminants at Matibom - Matadouro e Indústrias de Carne, Lda. and at the Divisão de Alimentação e Veterinária da Guarda, between September and December of 2023.
This document, compiled within the context of the Master´s Degree in Veterinary Medicine at the Universidade de Évora, includes an analysis of the observed cases and a scientific approach on the topic “Comparative Analysis between Pericarditis and Pleuropneumonia in Swine from Intensive Farming Systems”. The main objectives are to understand the types of characteristic anatomopathological lesions, the applied sanitary decisions, and, above all, to determine if there is a relationship between the prevalence of these two conditions in carcasses from intensive farming systems.
Throughout the internship period, 25138 swine, 943 piglets, 12771 sheep, and 1401 goats were slaughtered. The main reasons for total rejection in swine carcasses included purulent pleuropneumonia, purulent osteitis, and the presence of multiple abscesses. In the case of sheep and goat carcasses, the most frequent conditions were purulent pleuropneumonia, cachexia, and the presence of multiple abscesses. Fibrinous pericarditis was identified as the primary reason for partial rejection of hearts in swine carcasses, while hepatic parasitosis was the most prevalent cause of partial rejections in small ruminant carcasses.
The analysis of isolated cases of pericarditis and pleuropneumonia revealed that the number of pericarditis occurrences exceeded that of pleuropneumonia over the months. However, the coexistence of these conditions was more frequent than the isolated manifestation of each.
This report also highlights the crucial role of the sanitary inspector as a promoter of public health defense, as well as in the preservation of animal welfare and health within the context of the slaughterhouse. The intervention of the sanitary inspector in ante and post mortem inspections is essential to ensuring the safety and quality of animal products, thereby enabling the identification and control of diseases
Nearly 20 years of satellite remote sensing at CGE
No full textThe first steps in satellite remote sensing at CGE were made in 1993, in the first years in close
cooperation with the Remote Sensing Division of the Institute of Meteorology. The interest in the
study of the atmospheric and surface properties using satellite images was first introduced in CGE by
Ana Maria Silva and as a first year Master student, the first author here willingly accepted the
challenge of developing her Master thesis on this unknown but rather appealing subject. Since then
satellite remote sensing has greatly evolved with the launch of satellites with improved capabilities.
CGE has taken advantage of these advancements to explore new methodologies applied not only to
the atmospheric characterization, but also to land and water surfaces. Since the beginning of the
2000s the research group contributing to the development of satellite remote sensing at CGE has
increased, including several eager students
A visão masculina das relações de poder no casal heterossexual como subsídio para a educação em saúde na prevenção de DST/AIDS
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-graduação em EnfermagemTrata-se de um estudo desenvolvido com o objetivo de compreender as relações de poder no casal heterossexual a partir da perspectiva do homem, bem como suas vinculações com a prevenção de aids. Para tanto, dez homens de orientação heterossexual que vivem relações afetivo-sexuais duradouras - legalmente formalizadas ou não -, em co-habitação com a companheira e que têm pelo menos o nível fundamental de instrução participaram. As proposições de Foucault sobre relações de poder e constituição da subjetividade formaram as bases teórico-filosóficas que deram sustentação a este estudo qualitativo, que tomou a Pesquisa Convergente-Assistencial - PCA - como referencial metodológico. Os dados foram coletados através de discussões de grupo desenvolvidas no decorrer de seis encontros, nos quais foram abordadas diversas temáticas relacionadas com sexualidade e DST/aids. Os encontros de grupo integraram uma iniciativa de educação em saúde que propiciou a convergência entre a pesquisa e a assistência preconizada pela PCA. Além destes encontros, os dados foram coletados em duas entrevistas individuais realizadas com cada um dos homens, cuja guia incluía temas relativos ao viver em casal e à vida afetivo-sexual do homem e do casal. A análise dos dados foi feita de acordo com o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo - DSC - o que propiciou a organização de discursos a partir de grandes temáticas emergentes das discussões de grupo e dos relatos individuais, as quais mantinham estreita ligação com a questão norteadora e com os objetivos do estudo. Estas temáticas incluem o que é ser homem, a vida afetivo-sexual do casal e o uso do preservativo e, em cada uma delas, foram organizados DSC em torno de idéias centrais diferentes, os quais complementaram uns aos outros. A discussão dos DSC relativos a estas temáticas possibilitou uma melhor compreensão da problemática em estudo e evidenciou a existência de diferentes dinâmicas de circulação do poder nas relações de casal, as quais têm implicações diretas no trabalho de educação em saúde para prevenção de DST/aids. A compreensão destas dinâmicas subsidiou a proposição de um referencial teórico para utilização na educação em saúde - foco do cuidado de enfermagem - voltada para a prevenção de DST/aids. Neste referencial articulam-se os conceitos de promoção da saúde, educação em saúde, diálogo, casal heterossexual, saúde e cuidado de si, perpassados pelas relações de poder que se disseminam pelo corpo social
No Country for Nonconforming Women:Feminine Conceptions of Lusophone Africa
No full textThis study puts forward a comparative analysis of the literary production of three female authors who write from the particular contexts of their countries of origin in the postcolonial era: the Cape Verdean Dina Salústio, the Mozambican Paulina Chiziane and the Angolan Rosária da Silva. Emerging from three young and very different nation-states, the three female authors are themselves very distinct, not only with regard to their generation, but also in biographical and bibliographical terms. They have, however, one very specific aspect in common, which is the fact that all of them were the first female novel writer to publish in the context of their independent countries, thus constituting a major breakthrough in the male-dominated literary canons of their cultural nations. Their works demonstrate the importance of examining nationalism and national identity through gender. At the same time, they highlight the potential of situated gender analyses in the understanding and contestation of the power networks which consolidate the supremacy of hegemonic national narratives, both colonial and postcolonial. As such, this study aims to observe the authors’ cultural construction of their complex postcolonial nations from a female-focalised point of view, as well as their representation of the women of these nations and their interaction with the transcultural contexts of each analysed country. The main argument that this study develops in three distinct chapters (each one devoted to the literary production of each author) is that the building of the post-independence nations under analysis is structured by gender differentiation
