OBJECTIVE: To analyze the knowledge, attitudes and practices about TB in a prison and in public health services (PHS). METHODS: A cross sectional study was carried out and KAP (knowledge, attitudes and practices) questionnaire was applied to 141 prisoners, 115 prison's employees and 158 PHS workers. Epi-Info version 6.04 was used for comparison of proportions with statistic significance at p < 0.05. RESULTS: Mistaken concepts on TB were observed among the three searched groups. PHS also showed basic errors on TB knowledge thus pointing out imperfections on training. CONCLUSION: KAP revealed efficient for data collection of general knowledge items but was limited on practices and attitudes and so its use as the only tool for data collection about knowledge, attitudes and practices on TB is not advisable. It is suggested its regular use to aid educational activities and considering the high prevalence of TB among prisoners, it is noted the need to involve the Departments of Health in the supervision of educational activities in the prison system.=09

Abstract: The objective of this work was to compare the effects of preharvest spraying of aqueous 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCPa) and of postharvest treatment of gaseous 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCPg) on fruit maturity and quality of 'Fuyu' persimmon (Diospyros kaki) . Spraying of 150 mg L-1 1-MCPa was done on trees in the first week of commercial harvesting. Fruit were harvested at 1, 7, 14, and 21 days after 1-MCPa spraying (DAMS), and treated or not with 0.6 =CE=BCL L-1 1-MCPg one day after harvest. The treatments consisted of a control, 1-MCPa, 1-MCPg, and 1-MCPa+1-MCPg. Fruit were stored at 0=C2=B0C for 70 days in modified atmosphere, followed by seven days at 23=C2=B0C. The treatment with 1-MCPa did not affect fruit maturity on trees, but reduced the premature flesh softening and the occurrence of translucent stain disorder at postharvest. The incidences of soft fruit after storage (average of three years) were higher than 84% for the control, and lower than 18% for fruit treated with 1-MCPg, regardless of fruit harvesting date, and they were 15, 34, 40, and 75% for fruit treated with 1-MCPa and harvested at 1, 7, 14, and 21 DAMS, respectively. The efficacy of 1-MCPa is equivalent to that of 1-MCPg for fruit harvested at 1 DAMS and its is reduced by delaying fruit harvest from the date of its application.=09

Abstract: The general objectives of this research were: a) to identify risk and protection factors associated with Postpartum Depression (PPD); and b) to evaluate the contribution of Psychological Prenatal Care (PNP) as a prevention program in Women's Health. For this, an action research was organized in three phases, gathering a total of 198 pregnant women. In the last phase, the participants were divided into Intervention Group =E2=80=93 GI (n =3D 47) and Control Group =E2=80=93 GC (n =3D 29). For data collection, we used: Gestational Questionnaire, BAI, BDI-II and EPDS. Data were submitted to descriptive and comparative statistical analyses. It was not possible to relate socioeconomic variables, participation in PNP and desire for pregnancy with a higher risk of PPD. In contrast, there was such association between unplanned pregnancy and lack of support from the baby's father. Contrary to GC, there was no association between gestational anxiety and depression with GD in GI. In this group, 10.64% of postpartum women showed a tendency for PPD, whereas in CG, 44.83% showed such propensity. In short, it is considered that PNP, together with protective factors, is a preventive action to be developed by the Psychology professional in the context of pre and postnatal follow-up.=09

ABSTRACT Introduction Vocabulary performance may vary due to environmental stimuli, and socioeconomic and cultural context. Purpose To compare the performance of expressive vocabulary of children attending public and private schools, aged from four to five years, and analyze the most frequent substitution processes. Methods The sample consisted of 86 preschool children, aged from four to five years, male and female, without signs of syndromes and neurological or language disorders, divided into G1: Group of preschoolers in the Public School, and G2: Group of preschoolers in the Private School. All children were submitted to speech-language screening and expressive vocabulary evaluation through the ABFW Vocabulary Test. Data were submitted to statistical analysis, using Fisher=E2=80=99s Exact Test and T-test (p <0.05), considering the occurrences of Designations by Usual Word, Non-Designations and Substitution Processes according to conceptual fields. Results G2 presented better performance in the vocabulary test than G1, with statistically significant difference for all conceptual fields. However, when comparing pre-school performance with test parameters, most G1 and G2 preschoolers presented adequate performance. The most frequent substitution processes were those of hyperonymy and close co-hyponymy. Conclusion Private school preschoolers present better performance in expressive vocabulary tests. In addition, substitution processes occurred more frequently in preschoolers in the public school system, and the most frequent ones were hyperonymy and co-hyponymy.=09
Oxygen pressure-temperature phase diagrams for Ln 2Ba 4Cu 7O 15-delta (Ln-247) compounds (Ln=Er,Eu,Gd,Y and Yb) in the pressure range 2-32 bars of oxygen and temperature range 900-990degC were studied. The required pressures for Ln-247 single phase synthesis are much lower than was previously found. In addition, phase-pure Ln-247 (Ln=Dy,Nd,Pr and Sm) samples were prepared at high oxygen pressure. The temperatures of the superconducting transition (T c) for fully oxygen loaded Ln-247 samples are in the range 63-94 K, except for Pr-247 which is not superconducting at temperatures above 4.2 K. These transition temperatures are, for the wider range of rare earth, considerably higher than previously reported. Evidence is presented for progressive underdoping of carriers with increasing rare earth ionic radius, suggesting that T c has not been maximized
