Caracterização e processamento de mapuitã, os frutos da palmeira jerivá (Syagrus romanzoffiana Cham)
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Agrárias. Programa de Pós-Graduação em AgroecossistemasO jerivá (Syagrus romanzoffiana) é uma palmeira nativa do Brasil, abundante na paisagem do meio rural e amplamente utilizada no paisagismo urbano. Possui frutos comestíveis com polpa carnosa e doce, bastante produtiva e alimento tradicional da dieta guarani, consumido também na forma de bebida. Apesar deste contexto existem poucos estudos sobre a espécie. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar o potencial da palmeira jerivá para alimentação humana e como componente de agroflorestas através do processamento dos seus frutos e sementes. Para tanto o trabalho está dividido em três partes. Na primeira os frutos colhidos com uso de escada foram caracterizados através de medições biométricas de 400 frutos, de 8 cachos, e a germinação das sementes avaliada quanto ao efeito de tratamentos para superação da dormência e da secagem parcial. Na segunda parte quantificou-se a frutificação de 11 cachos, o percentual de frutos maduros por cacho e desenvolveu-se um método de extração da bebida baseado no conhecimento tradicional guarani e em adaptações da tecnologia de extração industrial de açaí, que inclui o amolecimento dos frutos seguido do despolpamento com adição de água. Na terceira parte, os frutos e a bebida foram caracterizados nutricionalmente quanto à composição centesimal, o perfil de ácidos graxos e compostos bioativos, tais como carotenoides, vitamina C e compostos fenólicos totais. Os frutos apresentaram variações biométricas, com média de 5,61 g de massa fresca e 59,29 % de polpa. A maior germinação e vigor para superação da dormência ocorreu com a perfuração do opérculo e embebição em água por 24 horas e os tratamentos com dessecação parcial não diferiram estatisticamente. Os cachos apresentaram média de 10,58 kg e 45% de frutos maduros e a melhor eficiência de despolpamento ocorreu com o amolecimento dos frutos em água quente por 1 hora, tempo de despolpamento de 30 minutos e adição de água igual à massa de frutos. Destaca-se que os frutos apresentam bom perfil de ácidos graxos e são ricos em carboidratos e fenólicos totais. A bebida de jerivá é fonte de carboidratos totais, fibras solúveis e carotenoides, podendo ser uma fonte destes nutrientes se incluída na dieta humana
Invisible women: unpacking the erasure of Native American women with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities in health surveillance
No full textPublic health authorities recognize the need for more robust data systems to characterize health inequities, particularly among those with intersectional identities (National Center for Health Statistics, 2023). Currently, it is difficult to describe the health outcomes of Native American women with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD), a population for whom key demographic information is unavailable. In this qualitative study, we interviewed 11 experts to understand why this population is not represented in mainstream health surveillance. The findings indicate that the visibility of Native American women with I/DD is influenced by both the institutions that shape data collection and the forms of data that are prioritized in health surveillance. Interview participants highlighted the disability service system and Tribal Nations as important gatekeepers of health data, while pointing out structural constraints that prevent these institutions from meeting the data needs of their constituents. Moreover, participants suggested that Western data systems, which prioritize deficit-based models of disability and rely on quantitative methodology, misrepresent people with disabilities and fail to acknowledge Indigenous ways of knowing. Interviews revealed several pathways to improving data equity, beginning with greater representation of Native American people and people with I/DD in institutions that govern health surveillance
Experiences of food insecurity among LGBTQIA+ college students in North Texas: Meaning, experiences, and recommendations for inclusive solutions
No full textThis ethnographic research explores the meaning and experiences of food insecurity among LGBTQIA+ college students to understand how identity might play a role in those experiences. We offer research-informed recommendations that student-serving programs could implement to increase accessibility and inclusivity for LGBTQIA+ students to reduce food insecurity. The study was conducted at a large, public, Tier 1 research university in North Texas. We used purposive sampling and recruited participants through emails and class announcements. We conducted 22 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with students who identified as LGBTQIA+. LGBTQIA+ students do not initially associate their food insecurity with their LGBTQIA+ identity, and many of their experiences are similar to non-LGBTQIA+ students. However, ongoing homophobia, stigma, and discrimination against people who identify as LGBTQIA+ can add additional anxiety and challenges that influence their experiences in ways that are different from non-LGBTQIA+ students. LGBTQIA+ students are at greater risk of losing family support, are more likely to seek emotional support from peers, and have increased anxiety about responses to their identity, which can affect their willingness to seek resources. Our results indicate that food insecurity has an emotional, mental, and physical impact on students, which impacts their academic success. As universities strive to be more welcoming to LGBTQIA+ students, we recommend services that will build community, create safe spaces, and strengthen trust for students to have a positive college experience
GEBMol-Vet: Utilizando o YouTube como ferramenta de ensino e popularização de biologia molecular / GEBMol-Vet: Using YouTube as a tool for teaching and popularizing molecular biology
No full textA pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus mudou completamente a vida da população, para diminuir a incidência de casos da COVID-19 foram implementados planos de distanciamento social que modificaram completamente os sistemas de ensino em todo o mundo. Antes muito do ensino era presencial, agora tornou-se completamente a distância, de formas síncronas e assíncronas. O ensino a remoto se transformou de uma opção de ensino, para a única alternativa segura. Durante o tempo de quarentena, escolas e instituições de ensino superior alteraram suas metodologias, passando a atuar forma remota. Uma possibilidade de instrumentalização desta nova forma de ensino é a gravação de vídeos seguida da publicação em plataformas como o YouTube. A criação de vídeos educacionais tornou-se popular na plataforma. Neste contexto foi criada a iniciativa Grupo de estudos em biologia molecular veterinária (GEBMol-Vet), visa compartilhar conhecimento cientificamente embasado sobre biologia molecular, especialmente genômica e proteômica, utilizando a plataforma YouTube como local de publicação de vídeos que discutem a temática de forma simples e agradável, contribuindo para a compreensão do público ao utilizar linguagem simples e popula

A potential role for plasma uric acid in the endothelial pathology of Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
No full textInflammatory cytokinemia and systemic activation of the microvascular endothelium are central to the pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Recently, 'parasite-derived' uric acid (UA) was shown to activate human immune cells in vitro, and plasma UA levels were associated with inflammatory cytokine levels and disease severity in Malian children with malaria. Since UA is associated with endothelial inflammation in non-malaria diseases, we hypothesized that elevated UA levels contribute to the endothelial pathology of P. falciparum malaria.We measured levels of UA and soluble forms of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), E-selectin (sE-Selectin), thrombomodulin (sTM), tissue factor (sTF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the plasma of Malian children aged 0.5-17 years with uncomplicated malaria (UM, n = 487) and non-cerebral severe malaria (NCSM, n = 68). In 69 of these children, we measured these same factors once when they experienced a malaria episode and twice when they were healthy (i.e., before and after the malaria transmission season). We found that levels of UA, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, sE-Selectin and sTM increase during a malaria episode and return to basal levels at the end of the transmission season (p<0.0001). Plasma levels of UA and these four endothelial biomarkers correlate with parasite density and disease severity. In children with UM, UA levels correlate with parasite density (r = 0.092, p = 0.043), sICAM-1 (r = 0.255, p<0.0001) and sTM (r = 0.175, p = 0.0001) levels. After adjusting for parasite density, UA levels predict sTM levels.Elevated UA levels may contribute to malaria pathogenesis by damaging endothelium and promoting a procoagulant state. The correlation between UA levels and parasite densities suggests that parasitized erythrocytes are one possible source of excess UA. UA-induced shedding of endothelial TM may represent a novel mechanism of malaria pathogenesis, in which activated thrombin induces fibrin deposition and platelet aggregation in microvessels. This protocol is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00669084)
