Three hundred fifteen patients who searched dental treatment at UFRGS dental clinics in 1973 and who did not return in 1974 were interviewed and the main reasons given were recorded. Relevant factors were analysed, such as: personal data, socio-economic status, factors that have influenced the utilization of clinical services at the University, and attitudes regarding the treatment received and future treatment at the University. Various associations of these factors and their combinations were also analyzed. The main reasons given by the patients for not returning were: they didn't have time, they needed no treatment and they went to another dentist.

The continuous use of ALS-inhibiting herbicides has led to the evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds worldwide. Greater beggarticks is one of the most troublesome weeds found in the soybean production system in Brazil. Recently, a greater beggarticks biotype that is resistant (R) to ALS inhibitors due to Trp574Leu mutation in the ALS gene was identified. Also, the adaptive traits between susceptible (S) and R to ALS inhibitors biotypes of greater beggarticks were compared. Specifically, we aimed to: (1) evaluate and compare the relative growth rates (RGR) between the biotypes; (2) analyze the seed germination characteristics of R and S biotypes under different temperature conditions; and (3) evaluate their competitive ability in a replacement series study. The experiments were conducted at the University of Arkansas, USA, in 2007 and at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul), Brazil, in 2008. Plant proportions for replacement series studies were respectively 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100, with a total population of 150 plants m-2. There was no difference in RGR between R and S biotypes. The R-biotype germination rate was lower than that of the S biotype. However, at low temperature conditions (15 ºC), the reverse was observed. In general, there is no difference in the competitive ability between R and S greater beggarticks biotypes.

Background and Objectives: Active commuting to and from university (ACU) could be a strategy to increase physical activity levels (PA) and promote health in young university students. We aimed to a) examine the patterns of commuting to university in Chilean students; b) the association between the mode of commuting to and from university and socio-demographic factors and PA-levels. Materials and Methods: A total of 496 university students (21.6 ± 2.4 years old) from two universities from Valparaíso (central coast of Chile) participated in this study. Personal data, home address, socio-economic status, PA, and the usual mode of commuting to and from the university were self-reported by a questionnaire. The commute distances were objectively measured using Google-Maps-software. Associations were examined using binary logistic regressions. Results: The main mode of commuting was by bus (to university: 55.2% vs. from university: 59.3%; p < 0.001). The least used mode was cycling (1.4% to and from university). Students living >5-km from university were less active commuters than those living in closer distances: (2–5 km, odds ratio (OR): 4.424, 95% and 95% confidence intervals (CI): 2.443–8.011, p < 0.001; 2 km, OR: 143.052, 95% CI: 55.154–371.030, p < 0.001). Students with low PA-levels were less active commuters than those with medium (OR: 1.446; 95% CI: 0.864–2.421; p = 0.160) or higher levels (OR: 1.880; 95% CI: 1.880–1.094; p = 0.022). Students who lived between 2 and 5 km, presented a significant association to be active commuters when they showed medium PA-levels (OR: 5.244, 95% CI: 1.358–20.246; p = 0.016). Conclusions: Chilean university students from Valparaíso are mainly passive commuters using public transport as the main mode of commuting to and from university; longer distances from home to the university are associated with low PA levels. ACU in distances between 2–5 km (mainly walking) could contribute to having medium PA-levels in Chilean university students. Thus, promoting the ACU walking to and from the university in such distances could be an effective strategy to increase the overall PA levels in Chilean university students.

Demographic and social factors influencing the population response to cervical screening programs have been studied. Age, marital status and, to a lesser extent, place of birth and socio-economic status were the most relevant factors. On the other hand, the reasons for nonparticipation were mainly the lack of information and motivation. Personal invitations, the recall of women who did not present on the first call, and the setting up of decentralized smear collection clinics proved to be useful tools to increase attendance.

Abstract This study aims to examine the use of English loanwords inflected with Arabic morphemes by young people in Amman, Jordan. It adopts a quantitative corpus-based approach supported by qualitative data. We collected data from young Facebook male and female users who come from families with different socio-economic status, and we conducted semi-structured interviews with 60 students at the University of Jordan to get more insight into the attitudes of young individuals in Jordan who use these English loanwords, and to account for the reasons that drive these individuals to use them. Data analysis shows that the participants’ gender and socioeconomic status are major factors that affect the use of these loanwords. Data analysis also reveals that these English loanwords could be used as a form of slang by a certain group of young individuals in Amman to claim a specific social identity and an in-group membership that distinguishes them from another group of young individuals who do not use these words. We argued that a number of symbolic values could be attached to the use of English loanwords inflected with Arabic morphemes by that group and analysed the reasons behind such linguistic behaviour.

Fungi can cause various diseases, and some pathogenic fungi have been detected in the water of dental equipment. This environment offers suitable conditions for fungal biofilms to emerge, which can facilitate mycological contamination. This study verified whether the water employed in the dental units of two dental clinics at the University of Franca was contaminated with fungi. This study also evaluated the ability of the detected fungi to form biofilms. The high-revving engine contained the largest average amount of fungi, 14.93 ± 18.18 CFU/mL. The main fungal species verified in this equipment belonged to the generaAspergillusspp.,Fusariumspp.,Candidaspp., andRhodotorulaspp. Among the isolated filamentous fungi, only one fungus of the genusFusariumspp. did not form biofilms. As for yeasts, all theCandidaspp. isolates grew as biofilm, but none of theRhodotorulaspp. isolates demonstrated this ability. Given that professionals and patients are often exposed to water and aerosols generated by the dental procedure, the several fungal species detected herein represent a potential risk especially to immunocompromised patients undergoing dental treatment. Therefore, frequent microbiological monitoring of the water employed in dental equipment is crucial to reduce the presence of contaminants.

O crescente acesso de indígenas ao ensino superior, motivados pela busca de apropriação de ferramentas das sociedades não indígenas para a defesa de seus direitos, territórios e organização social, provocou, na última década, a consolidação de políticas de ingresso nas universidades públicas brasileiras por meiode cotas e/ou de outros programas específicos de acesso. Neste trabalho, apresentamos reflexões decorrentes de pesquisa de doutorado, a qual, através de uma metodologia colaborativa de inspiração etnográfica, cartografou movimentos do estar indígena na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), bem como as repercussões dessa presença na instituição. Observamos que, ao chegarem à universidade, os jovens indígenas re-criam esse espaço, apropriando-se do universo acadêmico, dos conhecimentos ocidentais e, ao mesmo tempo, re-existem através de uma presença disruptiva que se expressa na linguagem, nas diferentes temporalidades, na lógica comunal, no compromisso com a comunidade e na re-existência epistêmica. Desse modo, o estar sendo indígena universitário dá-se na fronteira entre dois universos opostos e complementares. Nesse lugar, habita a potência do pensar indígena que, atuando entre dois sistemas de pensamento (da ciência ocidental e o próprio), pode causar rupturas na episteme hegemônica.YOUNG INDIGENOUS IN FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL: movements of seizing and re-existingABSTRACTThe increasing access of indigenous people to higher education, motivated by the search for seize tools from non-indigenous societies to be used in the defense of their rights, territories, and social organization, led in the last decade to the consolidation of admission policies in public universities through quotas and/or other specific access programs. Here we present reflections resulting from a doctoral research, which, through a collaborative methodology of ethnographic inspiration, mapped movements of indigenous living at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil, as well as the repercussions of this presence in the institution. We note that, upon arriving to the university, young indigenous people re-create this space, seizing the academic universe of Western knowledge and, at the same time, re-exist through a disruptive presence that is expressed in language, in different temporalities, in communal logic, in commitment to the community, and in epistemic re-existence. Thus far, living, being an indigenous university student, takes place at the border between two opposite and complementary universes. In this place lives the indigenous power of thinking, acting between two systems of thought (of western science and itself), can cause ruptures in the hegemonic episteme.Keywords: Indigenous students.

Os trotes vêm passando por um processo de mudança nas universidades brasileiras, visando preservar a integridade moral e física do calouro. Por outro lado, é percebido um declínio progressivo da empatia dos estudantes durante os anos de graduação. Nesse panorama, a Liga do Câncer da Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre – UFCSPA – organizou a atividade de extensão chamada “Careca Amiga”, um evento em que os calouros têm seus cabelos raspados por pacientes oncológicos pediátricos do Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio (Irmandade Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Porto Alegre) e realizam a doação de seus cabelos para confecção de perucas. Participam do evento o Centro Acadêmico XXII de Março da Medicina da UFCSPA (organização), a ONG Doutorzinhos (que utiliza a figura do palhaço e da arte cênica para animar os pacientes), a ONG Cabelaço (na coleta e distribuição dos cabelos dos estudantes) e cabelereiros voluntários (para auxiliar as crianças no corte dos cabelos). Em 2017, o evento alcançou sua 3ª edição e contou com 14 calouros.  Ao todo, já foram mais de 39 estudantes que participaram ativamente do evento e várias mechas de cabelo cedidas para a confecção de perucas. Mais do que os números, esse encontro visa desmistificar o estigma da careca e ser um momento de transição de etapas: passar no vestibular e lutar contra um câncer. Além disso, a conexão criada entre estudantes e pacientes permite cultivar a empatia e fortalece a mudança no estilo do trote nas universidades brasileiras. Palavras-chave: Trote Solidário, Corte de Cabelos, Perucas, Empatia, Extensão Universitária   “Careca Amiga”: a new perspective in the university trot   Abstract: Freshman pranks are undergoing a process of change in Brazilian universities, aimed at preserving the moral and physical integrity of the freshman student. On the other hand, is perceived decline in student empathy during undergraduate years. In this scenario, the academic society of cancer (Liga do Câncer) of the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre – UFCSPA (Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil) organize an extension activity called “Careca Amiga”, an event which freshmen have their hair shaved by oncology pediatric patients of Hospital of Children Santo Antônio (Irmandade Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Porto Alegre) and perform the donation of their hair for the creation of wigs. Attending the event are the Academic Center of Medicine of the University, the Doutorzinhos NGO (with uses the clown figure and scenic art to animate patients), the Cabelaço NGO (in the collection and distribution of student’s hair) and volunteer hairdressers (to help children cut the hair). In 2017, the event reached your third edition and count with 14 freshmen. In all, 39 students have attended the event and several strands of hair were donated to make wigs. More than a number, this meeting aims to desmystify the stigma of bald and being a moment of step transition: pass in the entrance exam and fight against a cancer. Also, the connection between students and patient lets cultivate empathy and reiterates the chance the style of pranks in Brazilian universities.
