AS COMPLICAÇÕES FUTURAS DO USO INDISCRIMINADO DO LEVONORGESTREL

Introduction: The indiscriminate use of levonorgestrel, an emergency contraceptive, can entail significant risks. Although it is effective in preventing pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse. Objective: To highlight the risks of frequent use and the side effects of emergency contraception. Methodology: This is a descriptive research, the method used aims to systematically summarize the results achieved in studies on a specific subject or issue. Through a bibliographic survey, based on the consultation and analysis of digital sources: Google Academy, Revista Ibero-Americana de Humanidades, Ciências e Educação, Brazilian Journal of Development and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Justification: The emergency contraceptive “levonorgestrel” can result in unplanned pregnancy, as well as does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), where guidance from a health professional is crucial to select the most appropriate contraceptive method and ensure effective and safe family planning.

Theoretical concepts about alluvial fans and debris cones: case studies of an Alluvial Fan in São Desidério (Bahia, Brazil) and a Debris Cone at Mount Somma, near the Vesuvius Volcano (Naples, Italy)

Analyzing the last 24 years of the Brazilian Journal of Geomorphology and the National Symposiums of Geomorphology (SINAGEO), it is evident that there is a lack of studies on alluvial fans in Brazil and in Portuguese literature. The situation is even more unclear concerning debris cones. This paper aims to provide a concise and comprehensive bibliographic review of alluvial fans and debris cones in Portuguese and to the Brazilian geomorphological science. These features are crucial for understanding and studying the relationship between form and process, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, sensitivity to climate variations, risks associated with mass movements on slopes, and more effective territorial planning by human actions. Additionally, the paper seeks to clarify the main theoretical and conceptual distinctions between alluvial fans and debris cones, proposing a new classification based on two particularly illustrative case studies. Do alluvial fans and debris cones represent the same or different depositional forms in the landscape? To this end, the methodology includes a detailed theoretical and conceptual review of the topic, a survey of relevant data about the subject in the main means of the Brazilian geomorphological community dissemination, a proposal of a new classification to differentiate these forms, and the mapping, characterization, comparison and analysis of two specific study areas: an Alluvial Fan identified in São Desidério (Bahia, Brazil) and a Debris Cone identified in Mount Somma, the ancient crater of the current Vesuvius Volcano (Naples, Italy).

Anestesias de pacientes de alto risco durante a abordagem cirúrgica: Estratégias adaptadas para pacientes com comorbidades

Introduction: The anesthetic management of high-risk patients, especially those with significant comorbidities, represents an important clinical challenge. This study reviews the anesthetic strategies adapted for these patients, focusing on interventions that can minimize perioperative complications and improve surgical outcomes. Methods: Studies published between 2010 and 2024 were analyzed, using databases such as PubMed, Scielo, and the Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology. The review included randomised controlled trials that compared different anaesthetic techniques and their implications for high-risk patients. Studies without a control group were excluded from the analysis. Results: The results indicated that patients at high risk of obstructive sleep apnea have a higher incidence of adverse respiratory events, which highlights the importance of specific anesthetic strategies for this population. Pressure-controlled volume-assured ventilation (PCV-VG) was superior to volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the Trendelenburg position, providing better ventilatory parameters and oxygenation. Costoclavicular block has been identified as an effective and safe technique for upper limb anesthesia in obese patients, reducing the need for general anesthesia. In cardiac surgeries, glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) administration has been shown to be beneficial, reducing adverse cardiac events and improving hemodynamic stability. Finally, spinal anesthesia has been shown to be preferable to general anesthesia in lumbar spine surgeries for high-risk patients, promoting greater intraoperative stability. Conclusion: It is concluded that the personalization of anesthetic strategies is essential to optimize the management of high-risk patients, taking into account individual characteristics and comorbidities. Careful choice of anesthetic techniques can minimize complications, improve postoperative outcomes, and ensure a safer recovery. The integration of new evidence and the adoption of multidisciplinary approaches are essential to improve perioperative care and promote better outcomes in complex and vulnerable patients.

Il non-luogo della relazione tra famiglie e servizi per l’infanzia, nell’editoria accademica sull’educazione 0-6, in Brasile

The paper summarizes the results of a bibliographic investigation on how Brazilian academic production addresses the theme of the family (or, better, families), with particular attention to the education of children in the 0-6, and to ECEC services. The research, at the heart of which is the analysis of a selection of scientific papers published in the most qualified and representative Brazilian journals in the field of education – while not claiming to be exhaustive – was divided into three phases. 11 journals were taken into consideration, for a total of 95 issues/editions, published between 2020 and 2024, analyzing a total of 2.495 articles. Of the aforementioned contributions, only four fall within the delimited thematic scope, crossing the descriptors “Family” and “Families” and the boolean operator AND “Early Childhood Education”. After having noted the, therefore, limited national scientific production in this area and having analyzed the selected articles, we concluded that research involving the family(s) and education category does not yet have a relevant space in Brazilian academic production, which appears to be addressed this macro-topic in an overall superficial way, addressing such a complex topic in a generally banal and reductive way.

Environmental Education and textbooks: a bibliographic review based on the database of the Brazilian Journal of Environmental Education

Este trabalho de pesquisa objetivou fazer uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o que foi produzido no periódico Revista Brasileira de Educação Ambiental referente a produções científicas sobre temas relacionados a Educação Ambiental em livros didáticos. Dos sete artigos analisados cinco tiveram como objeto de investigação os livros didáticos de forma direta cada qual com o seu recorte específico abordando, como, por exemplo, a importância das abelhas ou a presença de vertebrados da fauna nativa nos livros didáticos. Nota-se, por exemplo, a ausência de pesquisas sobre Educação Ambiental que tenham como fonte de análise direta os livros didáticos referente aos últimos triênios do PNLD.

The promotion and implementation of open science measures among high‐performing journals from Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, and Spain

AbstractThis study empirically examined the promotion and implementation of open science measures among high‐performing journals of Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, and Spain. Journal policy related to data sharing, materials sharing, preregistration, open peer review, and consideration of preprints and replication studies was gathered from the websites of the journals. Four hundred articles were coded for the inclusion of data availability statements, conflict of interest disclosures, funding disclosures, DOI, ORCID, and continuous publishing. Analyses found a higher promotion of open science measures among Brazilian journals than their Portuguese counterparts, and higher promotion of open science measures among international journals than their domestic counterparts. Analyses found higher implementation of open science measures among Brazilian journals than their Portuguese and Mexican counterparts. One journal out of 40 encouraged preregistration of studies; none encouraged replication studies and none had implemented open peer review. These findings reveal reasonably strong implementation of secondary open science measures (e.g., DOI, ORCID, conflict of interest and funding source disclosure) among the sample, but weaker implementation of primary measures (e.g., open data, open materials, replication studies and open peer review). The implications of these findings are considered and suggestions are made to bolster the adoption of open science measures among Ibero‐American scientific journals.

Reducing the Matthew Effect on Journal Citations through an Inclusive Indexing Logic: The Brazilian Spell (Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library) Experience

The inclusion of scientific journals in prestigious indexers is often associated with higher citation rates; journals included in such indexers are significantly more acknowledged than those that are not included in them. This phenomenon refers to the Matthew effect on journal citations, according to which journals in exclusive rankings tend to be increasingly cited. This paper shows the opposite: that the inclusion of journals in local indexers ruled by inclusive logic reduces the Matthew effect on journal citations since it enables them to be equally exposed. Thus, we based our arguments on the comparison of 68 Brazilian journals before and after they were indexed in the Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library (Spell), which ranks journals in the Brazilian management field based on local citations. Citation impact indicators and iGini (a new individual inequality analysis measure) were used to show that the inclusion of journals in Spell has probably increased their impact factor and decreased their citation inequality rates. Using a difference-in-differences model with continuous treatment, the results indicated that the effect between ranking and inequality declined after journals were included in Spell. Additional robustness checks through event study models and interrupted time-series analysis for panel data point to a reduction in citation inequality but follow different trajectories for the 2- and 5-year impact. The results indicate that the indexer has reduced the Matthew effect on journal citations.
