The Recognition of Facial Expressions of Emotions (RFEE) is an essential skill for good social functioning, as it allows recognizing the emotions and possible intentions of the other. An important variable to be considered in the RFEE skill is the cultural context, which tends to modulate this recognition. Thus, the objective of the present study is to build and seek evidence of validity for a series of stimuli of facial expressions of emotions of Brazilian individuals, considering the population distribution of the country according to age group, gender and race. For this, a three-phase procedure was constructed to elicit basic emotions based on studies that also built face databases: 1) Presentation of specific stimuli from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS); 2) Presentation of model photographs from the Pictures of Facial Affect (POFA) database and 3) Specific hypothetical situations taken from a previous study and tested for the present study. Each image was analysed by expert judges in studies with emotions and only faces with 100% agreement between them for the type of emotion expressed by the models were included in the final set. Subsequently, 459 Brazilians of both sexes and different ages and races recognized these faces in the validity evidence analysis stage. The final database consists of 56 high-quality color images of young, adult and elderly individuals (with and without acting experience) and divided according to the country's population distribution for the variables age, gender and race. The final stimuli show good agreement between the expressions perceived by the evaluators and the models' expressions (M=81.6%; SD=7.69), in addition to satisfactory internal consistency with Cronbach's Alpha of 0.70 and McDonald's Omega of 0.68. However, 11 faces showed <70% recognition accuracy, suggesting that the present set needs reapplication in more representative samples. The percentage of correct answers for each item in the database, as well as the characteristics of the models, such as having or not experience in acting, age, gender and race, are also presented so that future studies can choose the most appropriate images to meet their own needs. We hope that the built image set can be used for studies that evaluate the recognition of emotions in the Brazilian context.

The main educational method used in medical courses in Brazil is based on the Flexner Report which proposed a reconstruction of the medical training model with emphasis on the biomedical model. Recently, the reformulation of aspects of medical training in Brazil for a curriculum that includes different areas of knowledge and not just biological content has been discussed. Considering this, active learning methodologies advanced and, in line with the principles of the public health system and the national curriculum guidelines, in 2006 the medicine course of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) was founded. The purpose of this study is to execute a reflective narrative about the six years passed in UFSCar medicine with a focus on the medical practice and preceptorship activities.

Introduction: Commonly, preterm infants have a delay in the acquisition of motor skills. Evidence has shown that reaching specific interventions and experiences in a variety of postures have improved reaching behavior, head control, and motor development in preterm infants. However, knowing that reaching and trunk control are interrelated skills, it is relevant to develop an intervention that emphasizes trunk control activities associated with reaching for the motor development of infants at biological risk. Objective: To investigate the effects of an early intervention protocols on gross motor performance, trunk control and reaching of moderate to late preterm infants at the emergence of reaching. Methods: Thirty-nine moderate- to late- preterm infants (34.82 ± 1.20 weeks of gestational age) (19 boys and 20 girls) at the onset of reaching (4.36 ± 0.54 months corrected age) were randomized into two groups: experimental - received training of functional reaching associated with trunk control and control– positioning training. Infants were assessed by the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo), Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and reaching assessment in 4 assessments: 1) pre-training; 2) post-training 1; 3) post-training 2 and 4) retention. All assessments were performed by a blinded evaluator. The training of functional reaching associated with trunk control was performed by a physical therapist and parents at home for 12 consecutive days (6 sessions delivered by physical therapist and 6 sessions by parents) consisting of activities focused on trunk control and reaching activities in a variety of postures, for approximately 30-40 minutes a day. For the variables of gross motor performance, trunk control and reaching, the Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare the groups (experimental and control) in each assessment (pre-training, post-training 1 and 2 and retention). Results: Training functional reaching in association with trunk control was superior to positioning training, considering gross motor performance at post-training p= 0.023 and retention p= 0.005 and AIMS prone subscale at retention p= 0.002, a higher frequency of reaches with open hand at post-training 1 p <0.001 and with grasping at post-training 2, but not regarding trunk control, for the frequency of reaches, uni- and bimanual reaches, vertical, closed hand and contact surface (dorsal or ventral). Conclusion: Training functional reaching in association with trunk control was effective in favoring gross motor performance and increasing the frequency of more adaptive reaching, in other words, with an open hand and grasping, favoring the exploration of objects and which can be an efficient early intervention strategy for clinicians and parents.

Carnivores suffer several forms of pressure contributing to the decline of these populations. The hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus) is the smallest of the Brazilian canids. Have crepuscular-nocturnal habits, are omnivorous and monogamous, and their reproductive period occurs once a year, borning three to five offspring. Human actions accelerate the extinction process, where 25% of fauna and flora species are vulnerable. The hoary fox is classified as vulnerable mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation. It is endemic to the Cerrado, a biome that has been losing significantly its area to pastures and agricultural activities. Integrated strategies between institutions may be the only alternative for the survival of endangered species. Knowing the biology of the species, real threats, correctly identifying of the specimens and having an overview of the captive individuals, in addition to generating knowledge, is of paramount importance in the creation of strategies aimed at the conservation of Lycalopex vetulus. Through and with the participation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums of Brazil (AZAB) and the São Paulo Association of Zoos and Aquariums (APAZA), a consultation was carried out with the associated institutions that keep the species under guard, and that showed interest in participating in the study. A questionnaire was prepared with population data and questions related to ex situ management, including information on nutrition, facilities, behavior, education, physical restraint, veterinary care, management and reproduction. Photos were also requested to identify individuals. The answers were qualitatively evaluated in order to know the management that the institutions offer to the animals. For the classification of individuals, the requested photos were evaluated in order to prove, from the phenotypic characteristics, whether the animals in question were L. vetulus or were mistakenly classified. In relation to the 24 animals participating in the project, only five had phenotypic characteristics consistent with the species under study, two are more similar to L. gymnocercus and the rest of them have characteristics of the two species, which may be hybrids between these species. It is concluded that it is of paramount importance to train professionals who work with fauna to correctly identify the species, as well as carrying out a molecular evaluation of individuals kept under human care, in order to have precision of the species for the beginning of an effective integrated conservation project that aims to preserve it.

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome in which the heart does not adequately meet tissue needs and endothelial dysfunction commonly presents. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the recommended therapy for these patients during decompensation, and its effect on endothelial function in other pathological profiles has already been demonstrated, but there is still no knowledge of this intervention in patients with HF. Objective: To investigate the effect of applying NIV on endothelial function in patients with decompensated HF Methods: Quasi-experimental study in which adults (n=16), of both sexes, hospitalized due to HF decompensation were included. The diagnosis of HF was confirmed through echocardiography, including participants with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 45%. Anthropometric, clinical and laboratory data were obtained. NIV was applied in Bilevel mode between a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 60 minutes according to the patient's tolerance, with the positive inspiratory pressure varying from a minimum of 6 cmH2O to a maximum of 12 cmH2O and the positive expiratory pressure between 4 cmH2O. at 8 cmH2O, depending on patient comfort. Pre and post NIV arterial blood gas values were compared and endothelial function was assessed at the same time points using the flow-mediated dilation method. Results: Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) did not impact endothelial function in patients hospitalized for decompensated heart failure. There was no significant difference considering pre and post NIV comparisons for basal flow (0.09 ±0.03 m/s and 0.08 ±0.03 m/s), basal diameter (4.38 ± 0.76 for 4, 54 ±0.85 mm), mean flow during reactive hyperemia (0.36 ±0.15 m/s to 0.37 ±0.14 m/s), brachial artery diameter (0.24 ± 0.16 to 0.35 ± 0.26) and flow-mediated dilation (5.96 ± 4.47 % to 8.21 ± 6.4). While for hydrogen potential (pH): 7.47 ± 0.05 pre VNI vs. 7.46 ± 0.03 (p=0.16); partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2) 35.95 ± 6.17 pre NIV vs. 40.24 ± 4.34 post NIV; (p=0.01), partial pressure of Oxygen (PaO2) 70.31 ± 12.32 pre NIV vs 64.23 ± 7.71 post NIV; (p=0.91), Oxygen Saturation (SatO2) 93.14 ± 3.74 pre NIV vs. 92.48 ± 3.27 post NIV; (p=0.50) Bicarbonate (HCO3) 25.86 ± 5.08 pre NIV vs. 28.50 ± 3.14 post NIV; (p=0.01;) and Base Excess (BE) 2.35 ± 4.92 pre NIV vs. 4.50 ± 2.92 post NIV; (p=0.02). A moderate negative correlation was found between type B natriuretic peptide and brachial artery diameter (r=-0.50; p=0.04) and flow-mediated dilation in percentage or millimeter (r-0.53; p=0 .04), in addition to a strong positive correlation between hemoglobin and brachial artery diameter (r=0.82; p=0.01) and hemoglobin values with flow-mediated dilation (p=0.82; p=0.01 ). Conclusion: NIV did not impact the endothelial function of patients hospitalized for decompensated HF. B-type natriuretic peptide and hemoglobin values showed a relationship with endothelial function. The absence of a control group for comparison limits the extrapolation of results, thus suggesting further research on the topic.

This research aimed to qualitatively analyze the responses of companies to the ISE questionnaire, based on the environmental, social and economic dimensions, enabling a greater understanding of the application of sustainability in their activities and comparing which criteria of the aforementioned questionnaire the entities participating in the index worked harder. It was observed that in the analyzed period from 2014 to 2021, in the answers to the performance criterion in the environmental, social and economic-financial dimension of the questionnaire, the companies sought to fulfill the requirements requested in the questionnaire. However, it was observed that there is a need for further evolution in the requested requirements of the social dimension, as only two companies fulfilled 80% of the requested criteria. This is also demonstrated in aspects related to the area of government public policies, insofar as they represent the expansion of mechanisms and tools created by the organizations themselves. These mechanisms contribute to concrete advances implemented in a new economy, balancing the level of Corporate Social Responsibility practices with a view to direct and indirect benefits that allow a better positioning in the market in which business organizations are inserted.

Introduction: Pharyngitis is a very common infection of the therapeutic tract and can be caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi. The etiological agents involved in the etiology of acute pharyngotonsillitis in our environment are unknown. Objective: This project aimed to investigate the etiology of acute pharyngotonsillitis as part of a research project on the use of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of acute pharyngotonsillitis. Patients and methods: Patients over 18 years of age with acute sore throat confirmed by clinical assessment were included in the photodynamic therapy study if they signed an informed consent form. The etiological investigation of the protocol included collection of oropharyngeal swab for rapid test for Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus; Gram stains and general culture on blood, chocolate, and Mac Conkey agar; polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Fusobacterium necrophorum and detection panel of virus detection by polymerase chain reaction (influenza A and B virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, OC43 coronavirus, Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, and coronavirus -19). Preliminary results: From May 20, 2019 to January 29, 2020, 47 patients with acute pharyngotonsillitis were included in the study, 53.2% male, with a mean age of 23.6 years. The etiology was bacterial in 20 patients (42.6%), viral in seven patients (14.9%), and mixed – bacterial and viral in 5 patients (10.6%). GAS was responsible for 25.5% of cases, Fusobacterium necrophorum for 10.6%, and GBS for 4.3% and Staphylococcus aureus for 4.3%. Regarding viruses, HSV was responsible for 8% of cases, and EBV for 4.3%. All isolates of Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus were sensitive to penicillin, between 55 and 60% were resistant to macrolides and 50% were resistant to clindamycin.

Among the measures aimed at minimizing antimicrobial resistance, a problem that was even more exacerbated after the start of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, is the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP). The ASP involves a set of actions aimed at the rational use of antimicrobials in health services. These actions must be carried out by an interprofessional team, including the nurse, a professional who still has an incipient participation in these programs. Expanding the knowledge of future nurses on the subject is essential to increase their participation in the ASP. The use of active methodologies, with the support of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has been shown to be efficient in similar studies. The objective of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on the ASP - Antimicrobial Stewardship Program, - for undergraduate nursing students. This is a multiple study, carried out in three stages: development and validation by appearance and content by expert judges of the educational strategy; realization of the educational intervention and analysis of knowledge gain; and evaluating its feasibility. In the statistical analysis, absolute frequencies, percentages, measurement, McNemar test, binomial regression models with identity link function, with a significance level of 5% were used. The educational strategy was developed and later validated by 10 expert judges, with a total content validity index greater than 0.90 for appearance and content. The intervention, which consisted of a free course offered on the Portal de Cursos Abertos (PoCA), consisting of 4 domains using the WebQuest methodology, was carried out with 73 nursing students from a college in the interior of the State of São Paulo, being measured the level of knowledge (rate of correct answers) before and after the educational intervention. A better performance was found in the post-test, especially in domain 2, diagnosis of infection and use of antimicrobials, and in domain 3, clinical practice of nurses (p=<0.01). As for practicality, the intervention was considered easy to understand and carry out, and the participants expressed interest in using this type of educational strategy again. The open course without tutoring was developed, validated, applied and evaluated and is a useful tool and is available free of charge to contribute to the training of future nurses in the theme of PGA. Actions aimed at improving the knowledge and awareness of health professionals, in particular nurses, about PGA is one of the ways to contribute to the reduction of antimicrobial resistance in the world.

Introduction: This work is built on an autobiographical and critical-reflexive narrative about the medical course at the Federal University of São Carlos, presenting the facilities and difficulties of self-directed learning proposed by the faculty, its importance as a methodology and its failures according to the author's opinion according to lived realities. Objective: Expose facts and opinions about the constructivist method and its application in the medical course at UFSCar, generate reflections on how it is put into practice and how the student figure receives it. Method: The methodology used for this course completion work consists of author reports and literature reviews with consultation of electronic materials found in SCiELO about the constructivist methodology. Conclusions: It is possible to conclude that there was an important effort by the medical course at the Federal University of São Carlos to remain faithful to the constructivist method based on problems. However, not everyone, as much as they wanted the method, fully adapted to the method, culminating in insecurities, fears and anxieties due to the lack of traditional assessment methods or the early introduction of the student to health services, even if unprepared.

This thesis seeks to discuss how the discourse on global warming and climate change reproduces colonialist ideas about the people and nature of the Amazon. Still, it seeks to understand how these ideas are discursively mobilized, in the sense of subsidizing the implementation of environmental public policies. Therefore, two analytical references are used to examine this problem. The first concerns the process of colonization and colonialism, as they are fundamental aspects of the socio-historical construction of both the peoples and the nature of the Amazon. The second refers to the institutionalization of the so-called social and environmental issues which, as they were consolidated within the framework of Modernity, made the process of social formation of peoples and social construction of nature invisible. Thus, the work's hypothesis is that the notions of traditional peoples and of an exotic nature – both formulated in the colonial period – are the main ones to be mobilized by environmentalism to legitimize environmental public policies in the region. Theoretically, the thesis is based on the idea of caboclo societies as a way of dialoguing with the category of traditional peoples. In addition, it mobilizes references from ecological economics, environmental economics and the Marxist critique of political economy, to discuss the idea of nature. The methodological resources used were bibliographic references, document analysis, interviews and participant observation. The thesis did not seek to confirm its hypothesis or draw definitive conclusions, but rather to expand the possibilities for discussion on this topic.

Seeking to find strategies that help in the renewal of Science teaching in Brazil and considering the worrying results obtained by Brazilian students in international exams, we propose an study of Vigotsky's theories and neoVigotskian authors who deal with the construction of scientific concepts by children. This is mainly justified by the scarcity of studies focused on understanding this construction in childhood. Using a qualitative and exploratory methodology, and through bibliographical research, based on the principles present in these theories, we established criteria that guided the analysis of national publications that help in understanding the difficulties associated with conceptual learning in science. The articles published between 2000 and 2020 were found by searching the CAPES Portal and Academic Google. These publications report the use of the experimental approach as a subsidy for the formation of scientific concepts in children attending kindergarten and the early years of elementary school. The Vigotskyian criterion that appears most often is specialized instruction and the ones that appear less frequently are deliberate attention and logical memory. Recognizing the state of intellectual activity of the child on a given object in order to identify the state of attention and memory formation is complex, especially when dealing with a large group.

Studies on Emotional Intelligence (EI) are increasingly relevant to scientifically verify the extent to which this variable contributes in various contexts, including the organizational context, which has attributed importance to EI even before scientific studies. However, for such scientific investigations, instruments with psychometric quality are necessary to measure EI specifically in the organizational context. In Brazil, there are currently no psychological tests that evaluate EI specifically for the workplace. Therefore, this research aimed to construct a battery of EI tests for the workplace, the Computerized Test of Emotional Intelligence for Work (TIIET), which aims to be short, with remote/online application, based on the Cognitive Abilities Model of EI and maximum performance. Initially, TIIET consisted of tests that assessed the facets of perception (TPET), understanding (TCET), and emotional management (TGET). The research involved 536 participants and was divided into three studies - articles. The first involved item development, investigation of evidence of content validity, and systematization of TIIET application and scoring. The second sought evidence of validity based on internal structure. Finally, the third article investigated the relationship of TIIET with typical constructs of the workplace to verify evidence of validity based on relationship with other variables. The results of Article 1 indicated favorable content validity indices, with satisfactory item and instruction understanding and adequacy to the proposed theoretical model, as well as indicating that the instrument improved throughout the analyses and improvements suggested by judges, target population, and researchers from the 17 IE research group of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). In Article 2, the analyses to verify psychometric properties related to CFA, CFA-MG, and precision were consistent with theoretical expectations. Article 3, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), presented results that suggest the relationship of EI measured by TIIET with variables of work redesign (proactivity), self-efficacy, well-being, work-family conflict, and family-work. Based on the data obtained through the three articles, positive results are identified that assess evidence of content validity, internal structure, and relationship with other variables for TIIET, specifically for TPET and TGET tests.

The following work addresses, in the form of a reflective narrative, the trajectory of a medical student at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) over the six years of college, focusing on professional practice and other educational instruments that supported the construction of medical practice throughout training. Throughout the course, students are exposed to the grief of Family members, patients and face their own processes of working through the loss. The text explores the subject from the perspective of grief and its many college presentations.
