ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN PRE- AND POST-NATAL EXPOSURE TO PHTHALATE AND DINCH METABOLITES AND GUT MICROBIOTA IN ONE-YEAR OLD CHILDREN

The gut microbiota is a collection of symbiotic microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract. Its sensitivity to chemicals with widespread exposure, such as phthalates, is little known. We aimed to investigate the impact of perinatal exposure to phthalates on the infant gut microbiota at 12 months of age. Within SEPAGES cohort (Suivi de l’Exposition à la Pollution Atmosphérique durant la Grossesse et Effet sur la Santé), we assessed 13 phthalate metabolites and 2 di(isononyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH) metabolites in repeated urine samples collected in pregnant women and their offspring. We obtained stool samples from 356 children at 12 months of age and sequenced the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, allowing gut bacterial profiling. We used single-chemical (linear regressions) and mixture (BKMR, Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression) models to examine associations of phthalates and DINCH metabolites, with gut microbiota indices of α-diversity (specific richness and Shannon diversity) and the relative abundances of the most abundant microbiota phyla and genera. After correction for multiple testing, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (ΣDEHP), diethyl phthalate (DEP) and bis(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP) metabolites 12-month urinary concentrations were associated with higher Shannon α-diversity of the child gut microbiota in single-chemical models. The multiple-chemical model (BKMR) suggested higher α-diversity with exposure to the phthalate mixture at 12 months, driven by the same phthalates. There were no associations between phthalate and DINCH exposure biomarkers at other time points and α-diversity after correction for multiple testing. ΣDEHP metabolites concentration at 12 months was associated with higher Coprococcus genus. Finally, ΣDEHP exposure at 12 months tended to be associated with higher phylum Firmicutes, an association not maintained after correction for multiple testing. Infancy exposure to phthalate might disrupt children’s gut microbiota. The observed associations were cross-sectional, so that reverse causality cannot be excluded.

The Role of Social Intelligence and Resilience in Explaining Students’ Distress Tolerance: A Study during Covid-19 Pandemic

IL RUOLO DELL’INTELLIGENZA SOCIALE E DELLA RESILIENZA NELLO SPIEGARE LA TOLLERANZA AL DISAGIO DEGLI STUDENTI: UNO STUDIO DURANTE LA PANDEMIA DI COVID-19 Abstract Understanding the factors that influence or correlate with distress tolerance is very important. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of social intelligence and resilience in explaining college students’ distress tolerance. A descriptive correlational study was carried out on 260 male college students of Farhangian University of Birjand, Iran in 2020/21. They completed Social Intelligence Scale, Resilience Scale, and Distress Tolerance Questionnaire. The results showed that there was a direct and significant relationship between social intelligence and distress tolerance (r = 0.473; p <0.001), as well as resilience and distress tolerance (r = 0.608; p = 0.008). Also, the coefficient of determination showed that the components of social intelligence and resilience up to 65% can explain the variance of students’ distress tolerance. Psychological interventions such as promoting social intelligence and effective resilience can be used to prevent and control the college students’ distress especially during Covid-19 pandemic.

Protected area planning to conserve biodiversity in an uncertain future.

Protected areas are a key instrument for conservation. Despite this, they are vulnerable to risks associated with weak governance, land-use intensification, and climate change. We used a novel hierarchical optimization approach to identify priority areas for expanding the global protected area system that explicitly accounted for such risks while maximizing protection of all known terrestrial vertebrate species. To incorporate risk categories, we built on the minimum set problem, where the objective is to reach species distribution protection targets while accounting for 1 constraint, such as land cost or area. We expanded this approach to include multiple objectives accounting for risk in the problem formulation by treating each risk layer as a separate objective in the problem formulation. Reducing exposure to these risks required expanding the area of the global protected area system by 1.6% while still meeting conservation targets. Incorporating risks from weak governance drove the greatest changes in spatial priorities for protection, and incorporating risks from climate change required the largest increase (2.52%) in global protected area. Conserving wide-ranging species required countries with relatively strong governance to protect more land when they bordered nations with comparatively weak governance. Our results underscore the need for cross-jurisdictional coordination and demonstrate how risk can be efficiently incorporated into conservation planning.

Conduit processes in crystal-rich dacitic magma and implications for eruptive cycles at Guagua Pichincha volcano, Ecuador

Stratovolcanoes are commonly characterised by cyclic eruptive activity marked by transitions between dome-forming, Vulcanian, Subplinian and Plinian eruptions. Guagua Pichincha volcano (Ecuador) has been a location of such cyclicity for the past ~ 2000 years, with Plinian eruptions in the first and tenth centuries AD (Anno Domini/after Christ), and CE (Common Era) 1660, which were separated by dome-forming to Subplinian eruptions, such as the recent 1999–2001 eruption. These cycles are therefore a prominent example of effusive-explosive transitions at varying timescales. Here, we investigate the reasons for such shifts in activity by focusing on degassing and outgassing processes within the conduit. We have coupled a petrophysical and textural analysis of dacites from the CE 1660 Plinian eruption and the 1999–2001 dome-forming/Vulcanian eruption, with different percolation models in order to better understand the role of degassing on eruptive style. We demonstrate that the transition from dome-forming to Plinian activity is correlated with differences in phenocryst content and consequently in bulk viscosity. A lower initial phenocryst content and viscosity is inferred for the Plinian case, which promotes faster ascent, closed-system degassing, fragmentation and explosive activity. In contrast, dome-forming phases are promoted by a higher magma viscosity due to higher phenocryst content, with slower ascent enhancing gas escape and microlite crystallization, decreasing explosivity and yielding effusive activity.ResumenLos estratovolcanes se caracterizan comúnmente por presentar actividad eruptiva cíclica, marcada por transiciones entre erupciones formadoras de domos y erupciones de tipo Vulcanianas, Subplinianas y Plinianas. El volcán Guagua Pichincha (Ecuador) ha dado lugar a tal ciclicidad durante los últimos ~ 2000 años, con erupciones Plinianas tanto en los siglos Primero y Décimo, como en el año 1660, las cuales estuvieron intercaladas por erupciones formadoras de domos y de tipo Subplinianas, tal como ocurrió durante la erupción reciente de 1999–2001. Estos ciclos son, por lo tanto, ejemplos destacados de transiciones eruptivas de tipo efusiva-explosiva a escalas de tiempo variadas. En este trabajo, investigamos las razones de tales cambios de actividad enfocándonos en procesos de exsolución y pérdida de gases del magma en el conducto (desgasificación en sistemas cerrado y abierto). Hemos acoplado análisis petrofísicos y texturales tanto de dacitas de la erupción Pliniana de 1660, como de la erupción formadora de domos/Vulcaniana de 1999–2001, junto con diferentes modelos de percolación, para así comprender mejor el rol de la exsolución de volátiles en el estilo eruptivo. Demostramos que la transición desde una actividad efusiva formadora de domos a una Pliniana está correlacionada con diferencias en el contenido de fenocristales y, subsecuentemente, con la viscosidad total del magma. Un contenido inicial menor de fenocristales y una menor viscosidad se infiere para el caso Pliniano, lo que promueve un ascenso más rápido, desgasificación en sistema cerrado, fragmentación y finalmente actividad explosiva. Por el contrario, las fases formadoras de domos son promovidas por una viscosidad mayor debido a un contenido mayor de fenocristales, con ascenso más lento promoviendo a su vez el escape de gases y la cristalización de microlitos, disminuyendo la explosividad y produciendo actividad efusiva.

Enseñar en preescolar durante la pandemia: interacciones entre profesora, alumnos, familias y pantallas

The objective of this paper was to analyze the teaching practice of a preschool teacher in a private school in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, based on the dimensions of effective and represented work. From the analysis of the instructions and the simple self-confrontation, axes of analysis were identified that allowed an approach to the main challenges that the teacher faced with the online education developed during the pandemic by covid-19. The results of the work placed at the center of the discussion the teacher’s challenges and concerns about the ways of teaching online literacy, the relationships with the students’ families when working from home, and the interaction with technology in the virtual classroom. Taken together, the findings broaden the picture of teaching practices during social distancing and contribute to the empirical knowledge of this object of study as a result of the impact generated by the pandemic.

Flexible drought deciduousness in a neotropical understory herb.

PremiseAdaptive divergence across environmental gradients is a key driver of speciation. Precipitation seasonality gradients are common in the tropics, yet drought adaptation is nearly unexplored in neotropical understory herbs. Here, we examined two recently diverged neotropical spiral gingers, one adapted to seasonal drought and one reliant on perennial water, to uncover the basis of drought adaptation.MethodsWe combined ecophysiological trait measurements in the field and greenhouse with experimental and observational assessments of real‐time drought response to determine how Costus villosissimus (Costaceae) differs from C. allenii to achieve drought adaptation.ResultsWe found that drought‐adapted C. villosissimus has several characteristics indicating flexible dehydration avoidance via semi‐drought‐deciduousness and a fast economic strategy. Although the two species do not differ in water‐use efficiency, C. villosissimus has a more rapid growth rate, lower leaf mass per area, lower stem density, higher leaf nitrogen, and a strong trend of greater light‐saturated photosynthetic rates. These fast economic strategy traits align with both field‐based observations and experimental dry‐down results. During drought, C. villosissimus displays facultative drought‐deciduousness, losing lower leaves during the dry season and rapidly growing new leaves in the wet season.ConclusionsWe revealed a drought adaptation strategy that has not, to our knowledge, previously been documented in tropical herbs. This divergent drought adaptation evolved recently and is an important component of reproductive isolation between C. villosissimus and C. allenii, indicating that adaptive shifts to survive seasonal drought may be an underappreciated axis of neotropical understory plant diversification.

Browsing for food: Will COVID‐induced online grocery delivery persist?

The COVID‐19 pandemic altered daily activities. Many consumers reverted to online grocery shopping and home delivery. We analyze factors associated with the decision to grocery shop online and whether this will persist post‐COVID using data collected via a representative online Qualtrics panel in the State of New Jersey (N = 1,419). Around half of respondents either decreased in‐person shopping, increased online shopping, or pursued a combination of both. We used factor analysis to decompose attitudes towards the pandemic, finding that attitudinal responses broke down into ‘fearful’, ‘believers’, and ‘deniers’. Binomial regressions were used to analyze patterns of frequency of grocery shopping during the pandemic and changes in behavior during the pandemic. Results suggest that age, gender, ethnicity, educational attainment, having children at home, and attitudes towards COVID‐19 are likely to influence frequency of online and in‐person grocery shopping. Specifically, being 50 years or older is negatively associated with online grocery shopping. Those who deny COVID‐19 were less likely to decrease in‐person grocery shopping. People who had children at home, who had advanced degrees, or who were of Hispanic origin were more likely to increase online shopping and decrease in‐person shopping during the pandemic. While our results suggest that in‐person grocery shopping will return to prepandemic levels, we found that respondents report some increased persistence in online grocery shopping post‐COVID.

Health-Related Preconception Factors: Adherence to Guidelines and Associations with Weight Status

BackgroundKnowing the percentage of women planning a pregnancy who meet preconception dietary and physical activity (PA) guidelines and which health-related preconception factors are associated with body mass index (BMI) could help improve preconception care. ObjectivesIn a study conducted in women who were planning to conceive, the aims were to describe and compare eating and PA habits to current guidelines, as well as to identify the factors associated with BMI. DesignThis was a cross-sectional study. Participants/settingFrom 2017 to 2020, women planning to conceive within the next year (n = 217) were recruited in the province of Québec (Canada) to participate in the Apports Nutritionnels durant la GrossessE – Cohorte Contrôle study. Among them, 184 (84.8%) were included in the analyses. Main outcome measuresWomen completed three (90.2%) or two (9.8%) Web-based 24-hour dietary recalls and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Weight and height as well as the presence/absence of weight/body image concerns were self-reported. Eating and PA habits were compared with dietary reference intakes and Canadian guidelines, respectively. Statistical analysesDescriptive statistics were used to describe the sample, eating and PA habits, as well as adherence to guidelines. A multivariable regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with BMI. ResultsOn average, women were aged 30.8 ± 4.1 years and identified as White (94.0%). Most of them had weight/body image concerns (58.7%), 54.6% of whom had a normal body weight. Overall, 42.3% engaged in 150 minutes/week or more of moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA and 84.8% consumed <135 g alcoholic beverages per week. Mean dietary intake was below Dietary Reference Intakes for carbohydrates, vitamins D and E, and above Dietary Reference Intakes for total fat and folic acid. Factors associated with a higher BMI were weight/body image concerns (β = 1.83; R2 = 13.0%), higher dietary protein intake (β = .05; R2 = 4.0%), lower income (β = .85; R2 = 2.9%), no folic acid supplementation (β = .83; R2 = 2.5%), spending less time in moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (β = –.006; R2 = 2.4%), eating <2 snacks (β = .75; R2 = 2.2%), and <3 meals (β = 1.38; R2 = 1.5%) daily. ConclusionWomen planning to conceive do not have optimal eating and PA behaviors. Modifiable factors associated with BMI in preconception were identified.

Confirmed Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Reinfections After a Second Wave With Predominance of Lambda in Lima and Callao, Peru.

BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is a major public health problem in the world and reinfections are becoming more frequent. Our main objective was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and genomic characteristics of the confirmed cases of reinfection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the capital of Lima and Callao, Peru.MethodsWe searched in the Peruvian laboratory information system from April 2020 up to May 2021, looking for cases having 2 positive molecular tests for SARS-CoV-2 with more than 90 days between them. We performed genomic sequencing to the available pairs of samples and described the clinical characteristics, epidemiological impact, and genomic analysis of the confirmed reinfections.ResultsThere were 1 694 164 people with a positive diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 in Lima/Callao during the study period. Of these, 1695 had 2 positive molecular tests with more than 90 days between them. Two hundred eleven had both samples available for genomic analysis according to our selection criteria, and these were retrieved and submitted to sequencing. Thirty cases were confirmed to be SARS-CoV-2 reinfections with 2 different lineages in the 2 episodes. The variant Lambda (C.37) was the most common during the second infection and accounted for 19 (63.3%) of the 30 cases.ConclusionsWe report 30 cases of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 reinfections. The Lambda variant was the most common cause of the second infections, in concordance with its predominant circulation during Peru’s second wave. This report describes the largest series of confirmed reinfections by SARS-CoV-2 in Latin America.We describe the epidemiological, clinical, and genomic characteristics of the confirmed cases of reinfection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in Lima and Callao, durante la segunda ola en Peru. The Lambda variant (C.37) was the most common cause of the second infections.

Assessment of the Hawthorne effect during central venous catheter manipulation.

To describe the compliance to the practices of hand hygiene and hub disinfection before manipulation of the central venous catheter in two moments: before and after educational intervention. Adherence to hand hygiene was assessed with two methods: direct observation and video camera. Before and after study conducted with the nursing team in an adult intensive care unit, in São Paulo, Brazil, including 180 observations using video cameras and direct observation. Hand hygiene compliance before catheter manipulation and compliance with the correct technique and the hub disinfection for five seconds were observed. When video cameras recording was observed, hand hygiene compliance increased from 46% to 66% and the use of the proper technique increased from 23% to 46% (p < 0.05). Regarding hub disinfection compliance, no difference was observed between the periods. Hand hygiene compliance in direct observation increased from 83% to 87% and in indirect observation, from 46% to 66% after the intervention. After the educational intervention, hand hygiene compliance before CVC manipulation and the use of the correct technique improved. When observed indirectly, the adherence to these practices was lower, reinforcing the Hawthorne effect.

Consumo de leña en olerías durante la etapa de cocción de ladrillos en el distrito de Tobatí, Paraguay

El objetivo fue analizar la relación entre el uso de leña y la producción de dos tipos de ladrillos durante la etapa de cocción en olerías del distrito de Tobatí, Departamento de Cordillera, Paraguay. El estudio presentó dos etapas, la primera consistió en la aplicación de 392 encuestas al azar en olerías productoras de ladrillos prensados y comunes. La segunda se trató de la medición del consumo de leña, fueron medidas 3 olerías productoras de ladrillos prensados y 7 de ladrillos comunes, muestras determinadas utilizando los datos obtenidos en las encuestas. El promedio de producción anual de las olerías productoras de ladrillos comunes es de 460.693.491 unidades, con un consumo promedio anual de 128.640 metros estéreos de leña, en las olerías productoras de ladrillos prensados la producción promedio anual es de 175.803.581 unidades y el consumo promedio anual de leña es de 182.400 metros estéreos. El principal lugar de origen de la leña es la zona norte del país y la combinación de especies nativas y exóticas es la más empleada por las olerías. Con la medición se determinó que por cada metro cúbico de leña consumida se producen 7.604 unidades de ladrillos comunes y 2.142 unidades de ladrillos prensados.

Description de l’activité d’urgence en orthopédie pédiatrique durant la période de confinement liée à la maladie du coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) : étude observationnelle monocentrique en zone rouge de pandémie

IntroductionLe confinement a imposé un maintien strict des enfants à domicile, modifiant considérablement leur mode de vie avec un risque accru d’accidents domestiques et la tentation de désobéir au cadre légal. L’objectif était d’analyser l’impact du confinement sur l’activité d’urgence pédiatrique dans un centre universitaire de référence situé en zone rouge, et de décrire les modes de prise en charge spécifiques.HypothèseL’activité chirurgicale d’urgence ainsi que les mécanismes lésionnels en orthopédie pédiatrique ont été modifiés par le confinement.Matériels et méthodesTous les enfants pris en charge au bloc opératoire pour une urgence orthopédique pendant le confinement (groupe 1) ont été inclus de façon prospective, puis comparés de manière rétrospective aux patients opérés lors des mêmes périodes les 3 années précédentes. Les données démographiques et chirurgicales ont été analysées, et les circuits spécifiques instaurés ont été décrits.RésultatsUne diminution moyenne de 33,5 % de l’activité a été constatée, sans modification des motifs de prise en charge. Les lésions les plus fréquentes étaient les plaies (54,3 %), suivies des fractures (34,3 %) et des infections (11,4 %) et concernaient le membre supérieur dans 84,6 % des cas. Le cadre légal était non respecté dans 9,7 % des traumatismes et occasionnant principalement des fractures (55 %). La prise en charge postopératoire a été modifiée durant le confinement dans 34 % des cas, sans complication à ce jour.DiscussionNos résultats ont retrouvé une diminution de l’activité d’urgence pédiatrique sans modification majeure des mécanismes lésionnels. Les accidents survenant en dehors du cadre légal sont demeurés rares (<10 %), témoignant de la bonne adaptation des enfants vivant en zone urbaine. L’adaptation du parcours patient qui a été utile pendant le confinement, a été efficace, et va sans doute permettre de continuer à optimiser la prise en charge dans le futur, avec des circuits raccourcis et la télémédecine.Niveau de preuveIV ; Étude comparative rétroprospective.

This article analyzes violence against women (attempted suicides and attempted femicides) as two problems that have worsened during the confinement caused by covid-19, as well as the actions and mechanism undertaken by the corresponding government agencies to deal with the pandemic in Chiapas, a state on the southern border of México. For the analysis, two databases were developed, one of the systematizations of journalistic information collected through the Observatorio Feminista de Chiapas; and the second database was developed from the monitoring of the social networks belonging to state institutions that seek the prevention, care, and eradication of violence against woman. The findings were documented between March 1 to July 31, 2020, the analysis is only contemplated within this period.

Resiliencia, ansiedad y hábitos alimentarios de la población amazónica sur-oriente antes y durante la pandemia

Objective:&nbsp;To determine the relationship between resilience, anxiety and eating habits of the south-eastern Amazonian population before and during the pandemic in 2020.&nbsp;Methods:&nbsp;Relational, quantitative and qualitative descriptive, the sample consisted of 150 inhabitants aged 30 to 45 years. The instrument used was the STAI: state-trait anxiety inventory, the data were processed with SPSS-25, analysis of significance and difference of means was performed, non-parametric test and post-test significant differences (Wilcoxon test for related samples ).&nbsp;Results:&nbsp;In adults, State-Trait Anxiety was greater than 65%, a bilateral significance of p = 0.01 was obtained, indicating that anxiety was related to resilience. Food consumption before the pandemic was classified: natural 60%, processed 40% and ultra-processed 0%; During confinement, the consumption of processed foods was 53.33% and ultra-processed 20%. The level of food consumption before and during the pandemic shows a difference, being significant of p &lt;5%. The level of anxiety before and during the pandemic, obtaining a significant of p &lt;5%. Conclusions: State-Trait Anxiety was greater than 65% in adults. Anxiety was related to resilience. There is a significant difference in the type of food consumed, in anxiety levels, before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, in the inhabitants of the South-Eastern Amazon. The consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods, before the pandemic, was 40% and during the pandemic this consumption has increased to 73%, therefore the consumption of food was high in fat and sugar content.
