A parasitological survey was conducted at some zoos in the states of São Paulo and Paraná, Brazil, from 2009 to 2011. Several groups of birds were surveyed for fecal samples, but the most important was Psittacidae. Among the parasites, Eimeria (coccidian) and Capillaria, Ascaridia and Heterakis (nematodes) were observed in almost one third of the samples. Presence of a rich parasite fauna associated with captive birds seems to be an effect of captivity, since data on free-ranging birds indicate few or virtually no parasites at all. The discovery of new coccidian species during this survey reveals the need of more research on the subject as even well-known bird species have unknown parasites, but caution must be exercised in order to avoid descriptions of pseudoparasites.

Bird Richness

Bird species richness is an important measure for monitoring biodiversity changes. We analysed avifauna richness and composition in a 472 ha protected cerrado fragment and surroundings at Fazenda Canchim (RL-CPPSE), São Carlos, in the State of São Paulo (SP). We carried out 95.1 hours of observation (22 visits) at irregular intervals from May 2004 to December 2006. Qualitative surveys were done walking through tracks inside the fragment and on the roads at its edge. We recorded 160 species, six of which were endemic to Cerrado domain, 22 migratory, seven threatened within the State of São Paulo, and two globally threatened. We found 28 species in the cerradão, 110 in the cerrado sensu stricto, 13 in the gallery forest, 26 in the reservoir border, 26 in pasturelands and sugar cane monoculture and 55 in an anthropic area. Most of the species had low frequency of occurrence in all vegetation forms. Insectivores were the major trophic category (46.9%), which is typical in tropical regions, and it is also related to resource availability. Omnivores followed with 19.4%, granivores with 8.8% and frugivores with 7.5%. We conclude that, despite its size and conservation status, our study area has a remarkable bird community and must be considered as a priority conservation area to preserve bird species in Sao Paulo State.

A parasitological survey was carried out on 222 inhabitants of five farms in Holambra, located 30 km north of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, on October 1992. Approximately 70% of the inhabitants were found to be infected with at least one species of intestinal parasite. The positive rates of 6 helminths and 7 protozoan species detected are as follows: 5.4% Ascaris lumbricoides; 8.6% Trichuris trichiura; 19.8% Necator americanus; 10.4% Strongyloides stercoralis; 14% Enterobius vermicularis; 0.9% Hymenolepis nana; 3.2% Entamoeba histolytica; 2.7% E. hartmanni; 9.9% E. coli; 14.0% Endolimax nana; 2.3% Iodamoeba butschlii; 10.4% Giardia lamblia; 37.8% Blastocystis hominis. The positive rates of helminth infection were generaly higher in the younger-group under 16 years-old than those in the elder group aged 16 or more, whereas the infection rates of protozoan species were higher in the elder group. The infection rate of Strongyloides was found to be 10.4% by a newly developed sensitive method (an agarplate culture methods).

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depression in nursing staff working in Intensive Care Units of hospitals from a city in Northwestern São Paulo State - Brazil, examining its association with participants' socio-demographic characteristics. The Beck Depression Inventory was applied to a sample of 67 nursing workers from three general hospitals, showing an 28.4% prevalence of depression. The analysis based on the multiple model showed a significant association between depression and marital status (OR=1.52), night work (OR=1.46) and double shifts (OR=2.11). Also, there were significant percentages of workers who reported discouragement, sadness and hopelessness. In conclusion, the prevalence of depression is significant and more attention should be paid to this problem workers at these units face. Further studies are needed in the attempt to broaden knowledge on the subject, which can support strategies to guarantee attention to ICU nursing workers' physical and mental health needs.

Abstract Occurrences of gastrointestinal parasites were assessed in fecal samples from 3,099 dogs in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, SP, that were treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of São Paulo Veterinary School. The samples were analyzed using the flotation and centrifugal sedimentation methods. The results were compared with those from previous studies (at different times). The frequency of each parasite was correlated with the dogs’ ages, breeds and gender, as well as the occurrences of diarrhea and the use of anthelmintics, by means of the chi-square or Fisher exact test. Partitioned chi-square tests were used to compare occurrences of each parasite and the times analyzed. Out of the total number of samples, 20.5% were positive and 16.1% (102/635) of these presented more than one genus of parasites. Ancylostoma spp. (7.1%) and Giardia spp. (5.5%) were the most frequent helminths and protozoa, respectively. Ancylostoma spp. was associated (p<0.05) with age (over one year), mixed breeds, sex (male) and no use of anthelmintics. Dogs under one year and mixed breeds were associated with occurrences of Toxocara canis; and younger dogs with Giardia spp., Cryptosporidium spp. and Cystoisospora spp. Giardia spp. were also associated with dogs with a defined breed (p<0.05). All the parasites analyzed presented lower incidence in the last period analyzed than in the previous periods.

ABSTRACT: European wild boars (Sus scrofa) are considered exotic invasive species worldwide. Invasions of wild boars are a growing public health concern, as wild boars may represent an important reservoir of zoonotic pathogens, including bacteria of the genus Salmonella. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and serovars of Salmonella spp. in free-ranging wild boars legally hunted in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and the susceptibility of those Salmonella spp. to antimicrobials. Fecal samples and mesenteric lymph nodes were acquired from 63 wild boars. The prevalence of Salmonella spp. in free-ranging wild boars was 9.5 % (6/63; confidence interval: 4.4 % - 19.2 %). Six serovars were isolated: S. enterica subsp. enterica ser. 4,5,12:-:1,2, S. enterica ser. Cerro, S. enterica ser. Madelia, S. enterica ser. Typhimurium, S. enterica ser. I (4,5,12:i:-) and S. enterica ser. Muenster. Analysis of antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella spp. showed that the majority of serovars were fully susceptible to the tested antimicrobials. Only S. enterica ser. Typhimurium and S. enterica ser. Muenster showed a resistance pattern to at least one antimicrobial analyzed. To our knowledge, this study is the first report the prevalence and serovars of Salmonella spp. in free-ranging wild boars in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Results indicate a low prevalence with variability of Salmonella serovars, with some pattern of antimicrobial resistance. This study highlights the potential role of wild boars as carriers of Salmonella and could pose a risk to wild and domestic animals as well as humans.

A internação na UTI (Unidade de Terapia Intensiva),  e o processo de adoecimento podem gerar implicações negativas ao sujeito como alterações motoras, cognitivas e na participação nas atividades de vida diária. Muitos pacientes compartilham más experiências vivenciadas durante a internação em UTI (as quais desorganizam o sujeito, identificar as necessidades pode contribuir na elaboração do plano de tratamento adequado às demandas do paciente. Dessa forma,o objetivo do trabalho foi de  caracterizar o perfil desses pacientes atendidos pela Terapia Ocupacional na UTI Adulto. Realizou-se uma pesquisa transversal observacional da qual participaram 37 sujeitos internados na UTI adulto de um hospital público da Zona Leste do município de São Paulo no período de junho a agosto de 2016. Verificou-se que as características mais presentes entre os participantes dos grupos conforme gênero, idade e dias de internação foram:  fraqueza, dor, mobilidade reduzida, limitação no autocuidado, banho e higiene foram os mais presentes entre os participantes. Déficit cognitivo e queixa de memória foram os mais elencados no grupo dos idosos. A internação na UTI e o processo de adoecimento podem gerar implicações negativas ao sujeito como alterações motoras, cognitivas e na participação nas atividades de vida diária. Com base nos resultados identificou-se que os pacientes internados apresentaram fatores que interferem na participação nas atividades de vida diária (autocuidado, banho, higiene, arrumar-se no leito, alimentação e controle de esfíncter), e a atuação da Terapia Ocupacional pode contribuir de forma a minimizar os efeitos deletérios decorrentes da hospitalizaçãoAbstractMany patients live bad experiences during their stay in ICU, that disrupt the subject. Identifying the needs of the person can contribute to the elaboration of the treatment plan. Thus, is importante to identify the profile of the patients treated by Occupational Therapy in an Adult Intensive Care Unit. The study consisted of an observational cross-sectional study in which 37 subjects were hospitalized in the adult ICU of a public hospital in the East of the city of São Paulo from June to August 2016. The presence of weakness, pain, reduced mobility, self-care limitation, bathing and hygiene were the most frequent among the participants according to gender, age and days of hospitalization. Cognitive deficit and memory complaints were the most prominent in the elderly group. ICU hospitalization and the process of illness may cause negative implications for the subject, such as motor and cognitive impairment and difficulties in activities of daily living. The data made it possible to identify the profile of the patients treated by Occupational Therapy in the adult ICU, which makes it possible to guide the practice itself.Keywords: Occupational Therapy, Intensive Care Unit, Adult. ResumenMuchos pacientes comparten de las malas experiencias vivenciadas durante la internação en UCI, las cuales desorganizan el sujeto.

The article explores the characteristics of Galician emigration to Brazil between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on the São Paulo region. It is organized into two complementary parts. In the first one, it deals with the historiography on the subject, inquiring statistics and trying to examine the profile of the Galician migrant who seeks the ocean crossing. In the same section, it discusses what we consider the double invisibility of Galician immigration, mixed with the Portuguese from the northern Portugal or with the generality of Spanish immigration in the official records of entry into the country. In the second section, the Centro Español de Santos and the school created by it are the subject of analysis in order to understand how the Galician immigrants produced a hybrid social identity from an associative practice. In the Final Comments, some questions are asked about the denomination of the entity.

Este artigo tem a intenção de apresentar a hipótese dos experimentos mentais e suas caracterizações, com a pretensão de justificar ainda mais o interesse em atividades de investigação matemática, por meio dos experimentos mentais, e das bases semióticas da matemática. Parte desse trabalho foi resultado de uma pesquisa teórica desenvolvida no âmbito do programa de doutorado em Educação Matemática, pela Universidade Anhanguera de São Paulo, e teve como objetivo construir e analisar as características dos experimentos mentais na matemática e suas consequências no âmbito da Educação Matemática. Buscou-se também uma analogia entre os experimentos mentais e as provas matemáticas formais. Experimentos mentais são formas que o sujeito tem de colocar seus próprios pensamentos, dentro de um contexto previamente considerado, como objetos de considerações numa dada atividade e/ou problema, por meio de representações. Esses pensamentos são considerados abdutivos, ou seja, implicam generalizações na Matemática e exige uma teoria de experimentação e de análise. Buscar-se-á nesse texto esclarecer, com a construção de um cálculo de segmentos, quais aspectos se julgam importantes na dinâmica de considerar os experimentos mentais na construção do pensamento matemático, sem desconsiderar a importância de provas matemáticas formais.Palavras-chave: Experimentos Mentais.

Pensamento Abdutivo.AbstractThis text intends to present the theory of thought experiments and their characterizations, with the aim of further justifying the interest in mathematical research activities, by means of thought experiments, and the semiotic bases of mathematics. Part of this work was the result of a theoretical research developed within the PhD Program in Mathematical Education, by the Anhanguera University of São Paulo, and had the objective of constructing and analyzing the characteristics of thought experiments in mathematics and its consequences in Mathematical Education. An analogy was also sought between mental experiments and formal mathematical proofs. Thought experiments are forms that the subject has to put his own thinking, within a previously considered context, as objects of considerations in a given activity and / or problem, by means of representations. These thinking are considered abductive, that is, they imply generalizations in Mathematics and require a theory of experimentation and analysis. It will be sought in this text to clarify, with the construction of a segment calculus, which aspects are considered important in the dynamics of considering the thought experiments in the construction of mathematical thinking, without disregard the importance of formal mathematical proofs.Keywords: Thought Experiments. Semiotics. Intuition. Thinking Abductive.
