Factors associated with adherence to the principles of responsible companion animal guardianship in a municipality in southeastern Brazil.

Responsible companion animal guardianship (RCAG) covers aspects that are relevant to both animal and human health. Understanding the factors associated with adherence to RCAG principles can guide accountability, animal welfare and disease control. The present observational study describes the level of adherence to RCAG by guardians living in a medium-sized Brazilian municipality and identifies the factors associated with inadequate guardianship. Questionnaires were administered to randomly selected guardians of 704 dogs. The binary outcome of the study, namely more and less adequate compliers to RCAG principles, was analyzed using a score list comprising eight variables relating to the care provided to the dogs, namely provision of veterinary services, vaccination against rabies, deworming, no access to the streets without supervision, walking with guardian, dog freedom at home, registration (microchipping) and satisfactory food supply. Factors possibly associated with less adequate adherence to RCAG by the guardian, such as socioeconomic and cultural features of the guardians, characteristics of the dogs and attributes of the guardian-animal interactions, were analyzed using multiple logistic regression models. The RCAG actions least adopted by guardians were animal registration, provision of veterinary care, walking with the dog and preventing access of the dogs to the streets without supervision. Individuals who cared for a single dog, a mixed breed dog or had previously lost a dog were less likely to show adequate adherence to RCAG. Conversely, guardians who owned cars, acquired dogs as puppies, lived in households with a maximum of four residents, cared for a sterilized dog or thought that caring for a dog was easier than (or as) expected, had a higher chance of showing adequate adherence to RCAG. The results verify that the socioeconomic and behavioral characteristic of guardians must be taken into consideration for understanding the adherence to RCAG. In addition, it is important to facilitate access to veterinary services and to raise awareness about the significance of a safe and healthy environment for companion animals.

Promoção à saúde mental de trabalhadores do agronegócio: um estudo reflexivo / Promoting the mental health of agribusiness workers: a reflective study / Promoción de la salud mental de los trabajadores del agronegorio: un estudio reflexivo

Introdução: Os trabalhadores do setor administrativo do agronegócio estão susceptíveis a riscos ocupacionais em seu processo de trabalho, como: físicos, químicos, de acidentes e ergonômicos, biológicos e psicossociais como fadiga, tensão e pressão no trabalho. Essas condições influenciam na saúde física e mental desses trabalhadores interferindo no desempenho das atividades laborais e na qualidade de vida no trabalho. Em decorrência destes fatores, nota-se a importância de encontrar meios para proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida e satisfação no ambiente ocupacional bem como, promover uma saúde mental entre os trabalhadores do agronegócio. Objetivo: Refletir as estratégias organizacionais do enfermeiro do trabalho para a promoção da saúde mental no ambiente laboral de trabalhadores do agronegócio. Método: Estudo reflexivo, do tipo descritivo, que reflete as experiências no desenvolvimento de ações de uma equipe multidisciplinar de uma empresa de agronegócio localizada em mais de três estados brasileiros e conta com 1200 trabalhadores. A ideia do cuidado com a saúde mental dos trabalhadores do agronegócio surgiu a partir da observação da enfermeira do trabalho na busca recorrente dos trabalhadores ao departamento de gente e gestão, com relatos de problemas vivenciados dentro e fora da empresa. Frente a essa problemática surgiu a necessidade de disponibilizar para os trabalhadores um cuidado com foco na saúde mental, por meio de acolhimento e direcionamento para atendimento especializado dentro da própria empresa. Diante disso, foi estruturado dentro do Programa de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho, já existente na empresa, um pilar denominado cuidado com a saúde emocional, com modalidades de atendimentos individuais, grupos de rodas de conversa e no formato on-line. Resultados: Com a divulgação do programa os trabalhadores estavam mais à vontade para buscar atendimentos com a psicóloga do programa e mostram-se interessados pelos grupos de rodas de conversas. Durante um ano, 238 trabalhadores buscaram pelo atendimento. A partir de então, a promoção do cuidado com a saúde mental dos trabalhadores ocorreu por meio da manutenção dos grupos de atendimentos individuais. Conclusão: O cuidado com a saúde mental no contexto corporativo é essencial para promover a integridade física e psicológica do trabalhador. Contudo, é necessário que a empresa invista mais em campanhas informativas com cuidado com a saúde mental, pois durante um ano, apenas 19,83% dos trabalhadores buscaram pelos atendimentos propostos pela empresa, além de que, a implementação de um programa para a saúde dos trabalhadores, valoriza a profissão do enfermeiro do trabalho e lhe traz subsídios para a continuidade e qualidade de assistências àqueles que o mesmo assiste.

Introduction: Workers in the agribusiness administrative sector are susceptible to occupational risks in their work process, such as: physical, chemical, accident and ergonomic, biological and psychosocial such as fatigue, tension and pressure at work. These conditions influence the physical and mental health of these workers, interfering with the performance of work activities and quality of life at work. As a result of these factors, it is important to find ways to provide a better quality of life and satisfaction in the occupational environment, as well as promoting mental health among agribusiness workers. Objective: To reflect the organizational strategies of occupational nurses to promote mental health in the work environment of agribusiness workers. Method: Reflective, descriptive study, which reflects the experiences in developing actions of a multidisciplinary team from an agribusiness company located in more than three Brazilian states and has 1200 workers. The idea of caring for the mental health of agribusiness workers arose from the observation of the occupational nurse in the workers' recurring search for the people and management department, with reports of problems experienced inside and outside the company. Faced with this problem, the need arose to provide workers with care focused on mental health, through welcoming and directing them to specialized care within the company itself. In view of this, a pillar called care for emotional health was structured within the Quality of Life at Work Program, already existing in the company, with individual assistance modalities, conversation groups and in an online format. Results: With the publicity of the program, workers were more comfortable seeking assistance from the program's psychologist and were interested in conversation groups. During one year, 238 workers sought assistance. From then on, the promotion of care for workers' mental health occurred through the maintenance of individual care groups. Conclusion: Mental health care in the corporate context is essential to promote the physical and psychological integrity of workers. However, it is necessary for the company to invest more in informative campaigns with care for mental health, as during one year, only 19.83% of workers sought the services proposed by the company, in addition to the implementation of a health program of workers, values the profession of occupational nurses and provides support for the continuity and quality of care for those they assist.

Estratégias de enfrentamento de gestores municipaisde saúde frente à Covid-19 / Coping strategies of municipal health managersin the face of Covid-19

Objetivou-se identificar as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas pelos gestores da Atenção Primária à Saúde durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, realizado com 10 profissionais da Atenção Primária à Saúde do município de Ibiporã, localizado no Norte do estado do Paraná. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais, semiestruturadas, audiogravadas, transcritas na íntegra e submetidas ao Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, adotando como referencial teórico a Teoria das Representações Sociais. As questões que permearam a identificação das estratégias de enfrentamento adotadas pelos gestores abrangeram quatro ideias centrais: questionamentos acerca dos sentimentos frente à experiência em ser gestor durante a Covid-19; tomada de decisões sobre a reorganização dos serviços frente à Covid-19; principais dificuldades e limitações durante o processo de trabalho; e estratégias pessoais e profissionais que auxiliaram no enfrentamento da Covid-19 enquanto gestor municipal de saúde. Verificou-se que a busca pelas estratégias de enfrentamento deu-se pelos sentimentos de desconhecimento acerca da Covid-19, o que desencadeou medo, cansaço e estresse nos gestores e equipes de saúde, com a necessidade de planejamento e readequações no processo de trabalho. As principais estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas pelos gestores foram: diálogo com a equipe, escuta ativa, apoio dos familiares e momentos de oração.

The objective was to identify the management strategies used by Primary Health Care managers during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a qualitative study, carried out with 10 professionals from Primary Health Care in the city of Ibiporã, located in the north of the State of Paraná. interviews, semi-structured audios, transcribed in full-recording and presented for individual Discourse Representations, transcribed in integral theory and presented as Social Discourse Representations were referenced. The questions that permeate the identification of the four management strategies planned by the managers cover central: questions about the feelings facing the experience of being Covid-19; decision-making on the reorganization of services in the face of Covid-19; main difficulties and guarantees during the work process; and personal and professional strategies that help face Covid-19 as a municipal health manager. It was found that fear seeks coping strategies, due to feelings of ignorance about Covid-19, which triggered fatigue and stress in managers and health teams, with the need for planning and readjustments in the work process. The main coping strategies used by the managers were: dialogue with the team, active listening, support from family members and moments of prayer.

The Influence of Community Feeders and Commercial Food Outlets on the Spatial Distribution of Free-Roaming Dogs-A Photographic Capture and Recapture Study.

Understanding the distribution of dogs in the environment is relevant for establishing human and animal health actions. In the present study, we analyzed the influence of community feeders and commercial food outlets on the spatial distribution of free-roaming dogs in an urban area of a municipality in Southeast Brazil. The dogs were identified via photographic capture and recapture performed over five sampling efforts. The spatial densities of dogs were determined using the Kernel method. Spatial correlations between the distribution of free-roaming dogs and the locations of community feeders and commercial food outlets were analyzed using the K function. During the study, 1207 captures/recaptures were performed encompassing 554 dogs, the majority (62.6%) of which were males. Agglomerations of male and female dogs were observed in the areas where food was present. Positive spatial autocorrelations were detected between the distribution of dogs and food sources. The median distances between dogs and community feeders or commercial food outlets were 1.2 and 1.4 km, respectively, and the difference between these two was statistically significant. The presence of community feeders and food outlets demonstrates the influence of human activity, on the spatial distribution of free-roaming dogs. These results will be useful for developing strategies aimed at the improvement of animal welfare and the prevention of zoonoses.

Lead exposure is correlated with reduced nesting success of an urban songbird.

Lead exposure is a concern in urban ecosystems, with physiological and behavioral effects well documented in humans. Wildlife inhabiting urban ecosystems are also exposed to lead, yet little work has documented the sublethal effects of lead exposure in urban wildlife. We studied northern mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) in three neighborhoods of New Orleans, Louisiana, two with high soil lead and one with low soil lead, to better understand how lead exposure may influence mockingbirds' reproductive biology. We monitored nesting attempts, measured lead concentrations in blood and feathers of nestling mockingbirds, documented egg hatching and nesting success, and assessed rates of sexual promiscuity in relation to neighborhood soil lead levels. We found that nestling mockingbirds' blood and feather lead levels reflected the soil lead levels of their neighborhoods and nestling blood lead levels were similar to those of adult mockingbirds in the same neighborhoods. Nest success, as evaluated by daily nest survival rates, was higher in the lower lead neighborhood. Clutch sizes varied substantially across neighborhoods, but rates of unhatched eggs did not covary with neighborhood lead levels, suggesting that other drivers are influencing variation in clutch sizes and hatching success in urban habitats. At least one-third of nestling mockingbirds were sired by an extra-pair male, and there was no relationship between extra-pair paternity rates and neighborhood lead levels. This study provides insight on how lead contamination may influence reproduction in urban-dwelling wildlife and suggests that nestling birds could serve as useful bioindicators of lead levels in urban neighborhoods.

Quality of life and factors associated among public university employees retired due to disabilities.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze quality of life and factors associated among public university employees retired due to disabilities. METHOD: a cross-sectional study conducted with a sample of public university employees retired due to disabilities. A characterization questionnaire and the World Health Organization Quality of Life - Disabilities instrument were applied via telephone or online contacts from November 2019 to September 2020. The associated factors were verified through multiple linear regression. RESULTS: of the 80 retirees due to disability, 15% were professors and 85% had a technical-administrative career. As for the factors associated with Quality of Life, continuous medication use (ßadj: -0.25; p=0.02) and problems in the nervous system (ßadj: -0.21; p<0.05) were associated with the Overall domain; continuous medication use (ßadj: -0.23; p=0.04), to the Physical domain; smoking (ßadj: -0.21; p<0.05) and mental and behavioral disorders (ßadj: -0.21; p<0.01), to the Psychological domain; smoking (ßadj: -0.46; p<0.01) and respiratory (ßadj: -0.21; p=0.03) and circulatory (ßadj: -0.21; p=0.03) problems, to the Social domain; smoking (ßadj: -0.33; p<0.01) and problems in the nervous system (ßadj: -0.22; p=0.04), to the Environmental domain; mental and behavioral disorders, to the Disabilities module (ßadj: -0.29; p<0.01) and to the Discrimination domain (ßadj: -0.21; p<0.05); and smoking (ßadj: -0.32; p<0.01) and problems in the nervous system (ßadj: -0.20; p<0.05), to the Inclusion domain. The Autonomy domain did not present any association. CONCLUSION: the retirees under study presented impaired Quality of Life.

Oxygen transfer and gas holdup in airlift bioreactors assembled with helical flow promoters.

Bioreactors can perform biochemical conversions mediated by biocatalysts, such as enzymes, animal cells, plants, and microorganisms. Among several existing models, airlift bioreactors are devices with the low shear environment and good mass transfer with low energy consumption, employed in several biochemical processes. The fluid flow is enabled through air injection by the sparger located at the bioreactor base. Despite its simple geometry compared with the conventional bioreactors, airlift performance can be optimized via geometrical modifications. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of the addition of helical flow promoters, positioned in the riser and/or downcomer regions of an airlift of concentric tubes measuring the volumetric oxygen coefficient (kLa) and gas holdup. The results obtained by varying the gas flow rate from 1.0 to 4.0 vvm allowed the system evaluation of oxygen transfer and gas holdup. The inclusion of helical flow promoters increased the kLa, reaching up to 23% in oxygen transfer compared to tests without helicoids and up to 14% increase in the gas holdup. The inclusion of helical flow promotors was beneficial for all gas flow rates. Thus, including these flow promoters is an effective strategy to increase the oxygen transfer rate for bioprocess optimization.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma: A 20-year retrospective studywith focus on clinical and morphological features

Background: Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) is a reactive hyperplastic lesion that exclusively occurs in thegingiva and is characterized by the deposition of dystrophic calcification, cementum-like tissue, and immatureand mature bone within the connective tissue. The objective of the present study was to perform a retrospectiveanalysis of clinicopathologic features of POF.Material and Methods: Clinical and histopathological data were obtained from biopsy records and histopathological reports from a Brazilian reference service in Oral Pathology (1999 - 2020). Morphological analysis wasperformed to evaluate features related to the mesenchymal component, inflammatory infiltrate, ulceration, andmineralized tissue.Results: A total of 270 POFs were diagnosed during the study period. A higher frequency was observed in females(71.9%) between the third (22.9%) and fourth (23.3%) decades of life. The anterior upper gingiva (29.1%) wasthe most affected region. Mature (86.7%) and immature (52.6%) bone tissue were the most frequent. There was asignificant association between immature bone deposition and lesions with size ≤ 1.7 cm (p = 0.041); immaturebone and cement-like tissue deposition with an evolution time ≤ 16 months (p < 0.001); deposition of immaturebone and mesenchymal hypercellularization (p < 0.001); deposition of dystrophic calcification and the presenceof ulceration (p < 0.001).Conclusions: The clinical characteristics corroborate the findings in the literature. The heterogeneous distributionand quantity of mineralized tissues found in the analyzed cases support the theory that the different mineralizedtissues constitute a spectrum of clinical maturation of POF.

The association between non-permanence of dogs in households and non-compliance with the principles of responsible animal guardianship: A survey in a medium-sized city in Brazil.

The permanence of a dog in a household is relevant in terms of public health and animal welfare because it implies that the animal is receiving better care and is unlikely to be abandoned. We have performed a survey in a medium-sized city in southeastern Brazil in order to identify predictors associated with the non-permanence of dogs in households as determined one year after the first visit. During the first of two visits to randomly selected domiciles, guardians were asked to complete a structured questionnaire regarding the traits and history of each dog in the household, features of the domicile, characteristics of the guardian and adherence to the principles of responsible companion animal guardianship (RCAG). A second visit to each domicile was performed one year later in order to establish in loco whether the dog still resided in the domicile and, where appropriate, to apply a further questionnaire concerning the fate of the missing animal. The total sample population comprised 513 dogs, of which 98 (19.1%) were verified as no longer resident in the domicile on the occasion of the second visit. Of the absent dogs, 59 had died as a result of fights with stray animals, traffic accidents, diseases or old age, 13 had been sent to alternative addresses, 8 had been donated to third parties and 7 had escaped from the domicile. The fates of the remaining 11 animals were not divulged by the guardians. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the risk of non-permanence was significantly higher (p < 0.05) among male dogs, those that were infested with ticks, had free access to the streets or resided in domiciles near a wooded area, but was significantly lower among wormed and neutered dogs. The adoption of RCAG principles is associated with the permanence of dogs in households and, consequently, in reduction of the stray population, animal well-being and prevention of zoonoses. On this basis, it is important to raise awareness about the concepts of RCAG and to strengthen accountability of guardians that do not take proper care of their animals.

Responsible companion animal guardianship is associated with canine visceral leishmaniasis: an analytical cross-sectional survey in an urban area of southeastern Brazil.

BACKGROUND: Responsible companion animal guardianship (RCAG) comprises a set of concepts involving activities, behavior and care that guardians must provide to ensure the welfare of their animals. When such principles are disregarded, the risk of animals developing zoonotic diseases, such as canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL), increases. This disease is a public health problem in many urban settings in Brazil because dogs are the main reservoirs of Leishmania and are involved in the transmission of the parasites to humans. Our analytical cross-sectional epidemiological survey aimed to investigate the prevalence of CVL in a city in southeastern Brazil and to establish the association between the disease and a number of predictor variables including dog traits, socioeconomic status of guardians, ecological features of the domicile and RCAG. RESULTS: Our study showed that the global prevalence of CVL in the sample canine population was 6.7% (47/704). All variables related to better dog care were associated with lower chances of infection. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the chances of animals being seropositive for CVL were significantly (p < 0.05) higher when guardians had no formal education or possessed a university degree (vs. those with complete primary or secondary schooling) and when dogs were sheltered outside the house and had free access to the streets. An additional novel finding was that dogs that were acquired as puppies presented half of the chance of developing the disease in comparison with those acquired at the adult stage. Geographically weighted logistic regression coefficients showed that the strengths of the predictor/CVL associations varied depending on the studied geographical space. Both models demonstrated that the associations were always in the same directions. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that regardless of age and mode of acquisition, adult dogs should be submitted to clinical evaluation and tests for CVL. RCAG can exert positive effects on the control of CVL.
