Resumo. O processo formativo de um árbitro é longo, complexo e seletivo. Só um número reduzido de indivíduos atinge um patamar excelência que possibilita a direção de jogos nas grandes competições internacionais. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a carreira e o percurso dos árbitros portugueses de futebol que atingiram o nível de excelência e verificar as suas perceções sobre os fatores que estiveram na sua origem. Foram realizadas cinco entrevistas semiestruturadas junto de árbitros e ex-árbitros de futebol. Quatro deles atingiram a categoria de árbitro internacional de futebol e um deles, após ter abandonado a carreira de árbitro de futebol, atingiu a categoria de internacional no futsal. Foi adotado um design retrospetivo transversal. Após a recolha de dados procedeu-se a uma análise de conteúdo indutiva tendo emergido uma variedade de fatores pessoais e ambientais comuns a todos os participantes. Nos primeiros incluem-se os elementos de cariz: cognitivo, como o conhecimento do jogo, físicos, como a resistência ou a recuperação a fadiga, e psicológico, como a capacidade de regulação emocional. Nos fatores contextuais inserem-se, entre outros, a origem geográfica, a rede pessoal e institucional de apoio e o desenvolvimento de carreiras paralelas, como a académica ou a profissional. Os resultados sugerem que: 1) a carreira dos árbitros de futebol é marcada por quatro etapas distintas; 2) é possível identificar as exigências que definem a carreira de árbitros de futebol de excelência; 3) tendo por base as exigências identificadas, será possível melhorar o processo de formação e seleção dos árbitros de futebol.Resumen. La excelencia en el arbitraje del fútbol es un objetivo buscado apenas por un número reducido de árbitros. Para que un árbitro alcance este pedestal se enfrenta a una variedad de exigencias, dentro y fuera del campo, y supera innumerables etapas en una carrera con dos o tres décadas aproximadamente. Este estudio ha tenido como objetivo identificar, por un lado, la carrera y el trayecto de los árbitros de fútbol portugueses que consiguieron el nivel de excelencia y por otro verificar sus percepciones sobre los factores que les permitieron alcanzar este pedestal. Se realizaron cinco entrevistas semiestructuradas, adoptando un diseño retrospectivo trasversal, a árbitros y ex árbitros de fútbol que consiguieron la categoría de internacional de fútbol o de fútbol sala. Después de recoger los datos se procedió a un análisis inductivo y así emergieron una variedad de factores personales y ambientales comunes a todos los participantes. En los primeros se incluyen los elementos de carácter cognitivo, como el conocimiento del juego, físico y psicológico, como la capacidad de regulación emocional. En los factores contextuales se incluyen, entre otros, el origen geográfico, la red personal e institucional de apoyo y el desarrollo de carreras paralelas, como la académica o la profesional. Los resultados de la investigación: 1) Sugieren el dinamismo de la carrera de los árbitros de fútbol, a través de la influencia de los factores referidos, marcados por la exigencia de cuatro etapas distintas; 2) Permite una mejor caracterización de las exigencias que definen la carrera de un árbitro de fútbol; 3) Permiten ayudar a ajustar a las entidades que gestionan el arbitraje nacional el proceso de formación y selección de los árbitros de fútbol.Abstract. The excellence in soccer refereeing is a goal attained only by a small number of referees. For a referee to reach this level, he challenges several demands, both in and out of the field, and overcomes some stages in a career spanning approximately two to three decades. This study aimed to identify the career and the path/development of the Portuguese soccer referees who reached the level of excellence and assess their perceptions about the determinant/decisive factors to reach that level. Five semi-structured interviews were conducted with referees and former soccer referees who reached the international category, in football or futsal, using a transverse retrospective design. After finishing the data collection, an inductive analysis was carried out and a several personal and environmental common factors were identified. A list of these include: cognitive elements as the game’s knowledge/laws of the game knowledge, physical elements, as endurance, recovery and tiredness, and psychological elements, as the ability/skill of emotional regulation. In the context factors are included, among others, region/place of origin, personal and institutional network of support and the development of parallel careers, such as academic or professional. The results suggest/state: 1) the presence of four different stages in a football referee career; 2) allow a better characterization of the requirements that define excellence in the context of a football referee career; 3) allow national entities, responsible for the selection and training of football referees, to improve their processes/methods.

Abstract Little is known about successful aging (SA) among older (50+) women living with HIV (OWLH). Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to examine subjective understandings of SA among OWLH. Participants were OWLH enrolled in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) and those not enrolled in WIHS: 8 in Atlanta, GA (3 WIHS and 5 non-WIHS) and 9 in Brooklyn, NY (6 WIHS and 3 non-WIHS). Semi-structured interviews ranged from 30 to 120 minutes. Several themes emerged in participants’ definitions of SA, e.g. self-care, taking HIV medications, and being resilient (“HIV made me stronger”). Both WIHS and non-WIHS participants emphasized life course perspective in their definitions of SA -- women viewed their aging successful as a more stable phase of life in contrast to hardships they experienced while being younger (e.g., drug use, incarceration). Data collection efforts are ongoing and will allow further characterization of SA among this population.

Abstract Adult education and training (AET) over the life-course is necessary to participate in economic, social, and political activities in the time of globalization and technological advancement. However, little research has been done to identify mechanisms to fund AET opportunities among middle-aged and older adults from a comparative international perspective. Our study aimed to identify strategies to finance AET opportunities for middle-aged and older adults through an international lens, to help identify barriers and facilitators in effort to best support adult learners regardless of education background or socioeconomic characteristics. We carried out a descriptive qualitative study to facilitate an in-depth understanding of funding mechanisms available to adult learners in the selected countries, from the perspective of adult education and policy experts. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with 61 international adult education experts from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and education institutions. Our informants represented 10 countries including Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Data included at least one in-depth phone or web-based qualitative interview per informant in addition to information gathered from written materials (e.g., peer-reviewed publications and organizational reports). We identified three financing options that arose as themes: government-sponsored funding; employer-sponsored funding; and self-funding. We found that government-sponsored funding is especially important for low-skilled, low-income older adults for whom employer-sponsored or self-funding is not available. Our results have implications for lifelong AET policy changes, such as adaptations of successful AET funding programs across global communities.

Food production through the cultivation industry is one of the promising options because it is able to support the nutritional needs of the community, especially in terms of the adequacy of animal protein. One promising aquaculture product is catfish culture (Clarias batracus) because catfish are known to be able to grow in relatively unfavorable water conditions, have relatively short growth times (2–3 months). Nonetheless, the emergence of diseases that cause mass death and decreased cultivator income have become the main problems lately. Therefore, the purpose of community service is to overcome mass death in order to increase catfish production and diversify post-harvest fish processing to increase community income. The approach includes isolation and characterization of bacteria that cause mass death, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, indigenous probiotic production, and training in making catfish. The results of the dedication showed that there were bacteria that were resistant to antibiotics from isolation from catfish that experienced disease during July to October. In addition, efforts have been made to produce indigenous probiotics from the catfish digestive tract that survive mass death, and training in processing catfish snacks on site. A good response is shown in processing training and it is hoped that in the future these two efforts will be able to increase the economic independenceof the community.AbstrakProduksi pangan melalui industri budidaya merupakan salah satu opsi menjanjikan karena mampu mendukung kebutuhan gizi masyarakat, terutama dari segi kecukupan protein hewani. Salah satu produk budidaya yang menjanjikan adalah budidaya ikan lele (Clarias batracus) karena ikan lele dikenal mampu tumbuh dalam kondisi air yang relatif kurang baik, memiliki waktu pertumbuhan relatif pendek (2-3 bulan). Meskipun demikian munculnya penyakit yang menyebabkan kematian massal serta penghasilan pembudidaya yang menurunmenjadi permasalahan utama belakangan ini. Oleh karena itu, tujuan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah upaya mengatasi kematian massal guna meningkatkan produksi lele serta diversifi kasi olahan ikan pasca panen untuk meningkatkan penghasilan masyarakat. Pendekatan yang dilakukan meliputi isolasi dan karakteristik bakteri penyebab kematian massal, resistansi bakteri terhadap antibiotik, produksi probiotik indigenous, serta pelatihan pembuatan olahan lele. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat bakteri yang tahan terhadap antibiotik hasil isolasi dari lele yang mengalami penyakit selama bulan Juli sampai Oktober. Selain itu juga telah dilakukan upaya produksi probiotik indigenous dari saluran pencernaan lele yang bertahan hidup dari kematian massal, dan pelatihan pengolahan snack berbahan ikan lele di lokasi. Respons yang baik ditunjukkan pada pelatihan pengolahan serta diharapkan ke depan kedua upaya ini mampu meningkatkan kemandirian ekonomi masyarakat.

Phenylketonuria is an inborn error of autosomal recessive genetic metabolism, with partial or total deficiency of the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, which converts L-phenylalanine into tyrosine, causing accumulation of phenylalanine at brain and serum levels, interfering with brain protein synthesis causing several damages. This study aimed to characterize patients diagnosed with phenylketonuria at the Neonatal Screening Reference Service from 2008 to 2017. Cross-sectional analytical study with a quantitative approach with retrospective data collection from medical records and databases. Data were grouped as baby gender, date of birth, time of birth and neonatal screening examination collection, type of delivery, gestational age and prenatal status, place of origin, phenylketonuria classification and coverage rate of neonatal screening. The sample consisted of 14 patients, where 64% were male, all mothers had prenatal care and the percentage of cesarean delivery prevailed with 57.2%. Of these 85.7% reside in other states of the country and on the classification of the type of phenylketonuria 64.3% have mild phenylketonuria, as for the coverage rate there was a drop in the number of collections in the reference service. This research contributed to characterize the patient diagnosed with phenylketonuria, which allows greater knowledge about the disease carriers, as well as favoring the reduction of irreversible sequels, expenses and morbidity.

Landscapes are formed by physical elements of material order and abstract elements of immaterial order, so their management and planning should consider these two aspects. Aiming to understand the landscapes of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais State, the appropriation by the actors who work in the landscape was identified and classified, and also its dynamics from 1973 to 2015. The research analyzed the current landscape and its historical evolution, distinguishing material and immaterial dimensions, from field trips, soil types, relief, slope, drainage, conservation units, administrative zoning, urban areas, natural resources, transport and building infrastructure, satellite images, and semi-structured interviews. As a result, a map with the landscape units and their subunits, which have distinct characteristics, with their proper settings was obtained. The landscape has continuous boundaries with various operating scales, posing a major challenge for its proper management. The number of generated ecosystem services are difficult to measure, but its benefits are used by everyone. The dynamics of the landscape has been shaped by a slow evolution, set by mining activities, including revegetation areas after clear cuts and currently the inclusion of tourism in certain regions.

Background: Prostheses are used to varying degrees; however, little is known about how environmental aspects influence this use. Objectives: To describe users’ experiences of how environmental factors influence their use of a myoelectric arm prosthesis. Study design: Qualitative and descriptive. Methods: A total of 13 patients previously provided with a myoelectric prosthetic hand participated. Their age, sex, deficiency level, etiology, current prosthesis use, and experience varied. Semi-structured interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed through inductive content analysis. Results: Four categories were created from the data: “Prosthesis function,” “Other people’s attitudes,” “Support from family and healthcare,” and “Individual’s attitude and strategies.” The overarching theme, “Various degrees of embodiment lead to different experiences of environmental barriers and facilitators,” emerged from differences in individual responses depending on whether the individual was a daily or a non-daily prosthesis user. Environmental facilitators such as support from family and healthcare and good function and fit of the prosthesis seemed to help the embodiment of the prosthesis, leading to daily use. This embodiment seemed to reduce the influence of environmental barriers, for example, climate, attitudes, and technical shortcomings. Conclusion: Embodiment of prostheses seems to reduce the impact of environmental barriers. Support and training may facilitate the embodiment of myoelectric prosthesis use. Clinical relevance For successful prosthetic rehabilitation, environmental factors such as support and information to the patient and their social network about the benefits of prosthesis use are important. Local access to training in myoelectric control gives more people the opportunity to adapt to prosthesis use and experience less environmental barriers.

Background: Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) receive fewer guideline-concordant treatments for multiple health conditions than those with normal cognition. Reasons for this disparity are unclear. Objective: To better understand this disparity, we describe physician understanding and experience with patient MCI, particularly physician identification of MCI, ability to distinguish between MCI and dementia, and perspectives on education and training in MCI and dementia. Methods: As part of a mixed-methods study assessing the influence of patient MCI on physician recommendations for acute myocardial infraction and stroke treatments, we conducted a descriptive qualitative study using semi-structured interviews of physicians from three specialties. Key question topics included participants’ identification of MCI, impressions of MCI and dementia awareness within their practice specialty, and perspectives on training and education in MCI. Results: The study included 22 physicians (8 cardiologists, 7 neurologists, and 7 internists). We identified two primary themes: There is 1) a lack of adequate understanding of the distinction between MCI and dementia; and 2) variation in physician approaches to identifying whether an older adult has MCI. Conclusion: These findings suggest that physicians have a poor understanding of MCI. Our results suggest that interventions that improve physician knowledge of MCI are needed.
