Comparative effects of Serendipita indica and a mix of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the growth, photosynthetic capacity, and proteomics of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi.

Both, Serendipita indica and AMF, show promise as sustainable biofertilizers for reforestation, improving nutrient uptake and stress tolerance, despite contrasting effects on photosynthetic capacity and biomass allocation. Reclaiming degraded areas is essential for biodiversity conservation and enhancing ecosystem services enhancement, especially when using native species. This study investigated Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, a native Brazilian species, and its compatibility with plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM), including an endophytic fungus (Serendipita indica) and a consortium of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), to identify effective strategies for reforestation in nutrient-poor environments.

Heterogeneity in the consumption of fresh and ultra-processed foods by the Brazilian population ≥10 years of age.

Objective: To evaluate the heterogeneity in the consumption of fresh or minimally processed foods (FMPF) and ultra-processed foods (UPF) in the Brazilian population ≥10 years of age.

Methods: Cross-sectional study that used data from the food consumption and resident module from the 2017-2018 edition of the Family Budget Survey. Variables relating to sex, region of residence, household status and per capita family income in minimum wages were used.

Mitochondrial Genome and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Narrownose Smooth-Hound Shark Springer, 1939.

Southern Brazil is home to a large biodiversity of elasmobranchs from the Brazilian coast. Several genera and species of small sharks of the Triakidae family live in this marine environment. Studies on these shark species are scarce, with few genetic data and little information on animal population structures.

Effects of glyphosate-based herbicide on target organs of Astyanax altiparanae in different treatments.

Glyphosate-based herbicides are extensively utilized in Neotropical agriculture for weed control. Despite their widespread application, concerns regarding water contamination and its consequential impacts on aquatic organisms persist. Notably, there remains a dearth of studies investigating the effects of glyphosate on Neotropical fish species.

Nurse leadership practices during the Covid-19 pandemic in university hospitals.

Objective: to analyze the leadership practices among nurses in face of COVID-19 pandemic in university hospitals in Brazil.

Method: this is a multicenter, qualitative and exploratory-descriptive research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 139 nurses who worked in the care for patients with COVID-19 in Brazilian university hospitals.
