Multiparameter analysis of small non-flying mammals' response to forest restoration post-bauxite mining in eastern Amazonia.

Bauxite mining has been caused severe changes in the natural ecosystems of the Amazon, but the restoration of these areas is mandatory by federal law in Brazil. The recolonization of fauna is crucial to establishing the ecological functions of recovering forests, and the small nonflying mammals can stand out in this process. Assessing taxonomic and functional diversity parameters, we demonstrated that in the early stages of forest recovery post-bauxite mining, between 6 and 11 years, it is possible to restore approximately 45% of the richness of small non-flying mammal species from the original habitats, that in this case were altered Primary Forests.

Simulated practice in the development of clinical reasoning in nursing students: A systematic review protocol.

is a pedagogical technique that replicates real-world scenarios in a controlled environment, enabling nursing students to engage in the teaching-learning process actively. While simulated practice is a growing pedagogical strategy, several studies have examined its strengths and limitations. However, evidence of its effectiveness in developing clinical reasoning skills among nursing students still needs to be improved.

Evaluation of the water quality monitoring program of Mountain Rivers located in a tropical protected atlantic Forest area (PARNASO, Brazil): are the impacts of the highway really assessed?

Road activities are recognized sources of pollution that affect the hydrochemistry of nearby water bodies. This study evaluated the Water Quality Monitoring Program in the Soberbo and Iconha rivers in the Guapi-Macacu watershed, which is affected by the BR-116 highway. The Rio-Teresópolis Concessionaire from 2009 to 2016 carried out quarterly sampling.

Clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis inadequate social support network in breastfeeding mothers: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: To clinically validate the nursing diagnosis (ND) inadequate social support network in breastfeeding mothers.

Method: This cross-sectional quantitative study employed clinical indicator accuracy analysis and hierarchical modeling for the etiological factors of the ND inadequate social support network. The study included 285 breastfeeding mothers registered in primary healthcare units.

Ozonized water as a promising strategy to remove biofilm formed by spp. on polyethylene and polystyrene surfaces.

The dairy industry faces challenges in controlling spoilage microorganisms, particularly , known to form resilient biofilms. Conventional disinfection methods have limitations, prompting the exploration of eco-friendly alternatives like ozone. This study focused on biofilms on polystyrene and polyethylene surfaces, evaluating ozone efficacy when incorporated into different water sources and applied under static and dynamic conditions.
