RESUMO
This study aimed to analyze the consumer perception (n = 840) about different types of eggs using Product Personality Profiling and Shopping List tasks. White egg, brown egg, organic egg, free-range egg, and eggs enriched with omega 3 and vitamins were evaluated. The consumers associated the white egg with unhealthy, sedentary, and overweight individuals in the Product Personality Profiling task and people that are not concerned with health in the Shopping List task. The brown egg was associated with a person who does physical activity and has a healthy diet in the Product Personality Profiling task. The omega 3 egg was associated with a person concerned with health in the Shopping List task, which does physical exercises and follows a healthy diet in the Product Personality Profiling task. The vitamin-enriched egg was associated with people with health disorders in the Shopping List task and following a vegetarian/vegan diet in the Product Personality Profiling task. The free-range egg was associated with a man with a rugged personality, a healthy diet, and animal welfare concern. Finally, the organic egg was associated with a person concerned with animal welfare and a vegetarian/vegan diet. Shopping list and Product Personality Profiling projective techniques proved to be useful tools for understanding consumer perceptions and beliefs about eggs, providing similar or complementary results. The Shopping List was more appropriate in eliciting egg buyers' profile, while the Product Personality Profile shows the "target buyer".

Los procedimientos de la Medicina Natural Tradicional tienen en común el objetivo de prevenir y tratar las enfermedades. Este tipo de medicina es una mezcla de todas aquellas artes curativas que han formado parte del patrimonio cultural de cada nación. Su empleo data desde los tiempos más remotos en los que el hombre buscaba remedio para sus males en la flora de su hábitat. Con el objetivo de analizar las plantas medicinales de interés estomatológico, se realizó una consulta bibliográfica de 26 documentos en bibliotecas y portales digitales como Infomed, Pubmed y Scielo, haciéndose uso de la información más actualizada y relacionada con el tema. Se llegó a la conclusión de que las plantas medicinales tienen una aplicación terapéutica importante en la estomatología, lo que indica que se debe continuar perfeccionando la cultura sobre su empleo en esta ciencia.

Herein, we report the design, synthesis and trypanocidal activity of some novel trisubstituted imidazole derivatives. These heterocyclic derivatives were structurally planned by exploring the concept of molecular hybridisation between two arylhydrazones derived from megazol, which has potent trypanocidal activity. The trypanocidal activity of these triarylimidazole derivatives was evaluated against infective trypomastigote forms of T. cruzi and the derivative 2'-(4-bromophenyl)-1-methyl-5'-phenyl-1H,3'H-2,4'-biimidazol-3'-ol showed moderate biological activity (IC50 = 23.9 µM) when compared to benznidazole, a standard trypanocidal drug. These compounds did not present cytotoxic effects at concentrations near the trypanocidal IC50, being considered a good starting point for the development of new anti-Chagas drug candidates.

Pesquisa quantitativa de caráter exploratório objetivou verificar a relação entre crenças espirituais/religiosas e bem-estar espiritual da equipe de Enfermagem do HU/USP e descrever se há diferença significativa entre seus setores. Foram aplicados os instrumentos: DUREL e EBEE em 118 indivíduos. Evidenciou-se que 93,2% (n=110) dos participantes referiram pertencer a alguma religião e 55,9% (n=66) praticar alguma atividade religiosa individual diariamente. Na EBEE, 83,4% (n=98) dos pesquisados apresentou média de 32,28 (sd=10,958), considerada baixa. Para as subescalas de Bem-Estar Existencial, 76,7% (n=90) dos participantes tiveram média de 15,5 e para Bem-Estar Religioso 78,3% (n=92) mantiveram a média de 14,5, também consideradas baixas. Não foi observada variação entre os setores pesquisados. Conclui-se que este estudo serve de alerta para o estresse espiritual sofrido por esses profissionais no ambiente hospitalar. Entende também suas limitações, uma vez que não há estudos semelhantes que possam dar subsídios de comparação para análise de resultados.
