Abstract	This study analyzed the relationship between clinical and demographic variables, family support, school support, and adherence on adolescents' metabolic control and quality of life (QoL) based on Adaptation to Chronic Disease in Childhood's model. The sample included 100 adolescents and 100 parents. Adolescents were assessed on adherence, family support, school support, and QoL. Parents were assessed on family functioning and parental coping. A path analysis was performed to assess the adequacy of the theoretical model to the sample. Daily glycemic monitoring was associated with better metabolic control and diabetes hospitalizations with worse metabolic control. The final model showed adherence, family support, school support, and family functioning having an indirect effect on the relationship between adolescence stage, number of daily glycemic monitorings, number of hospitalizations, and metabolic control/QoL. Adherence had an indirect effect on the relationship between glycemic monitoring and family and school support, suggesting that adolescents need both types of support to perform diabetes self-care tasks. QoL showed a direct effect on metabolic control revealing the importance of QoL in the design of interventions to promote metabolic control in adolescents.

Abstract	The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 to be a guideline to promote sustainable development through partnerships. Goal 11 was designed to improve the quality of life in cities however, confronted local governments with new challenges to delivery services and increase citizen participation. In this study, a conceptual framework was developed, and distinct indicators were analyzed to facilitate the implementation of SDG 11 in Brazilian municipalities. Two case studies were deployed based on the Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria Analysis (MAMCA) to guarantee stakeholder participation during the whole process. The results brought to light important challenges to urbanization at local levels. Also, the results suggest shifts in the ongoing model to evaluate the implementation of SDG 11 in Brazil. Governance, transparency and social participation were identified as critical issues to be addressed. Moreover, it will be necessary to adjust existing indicators and organize a consistent and frequent method to evaluate progress towards achieving SDG 11 targets at local levels. Integration of plans and policies related to climate change and disaster risk reduction represents another challenge to be faced by local governments. Finally, MAMCA can be a helpful tool to support local decision-makers to implement SDG 11 based on a multi-stakeholder view.

Abstract	Menopause may negatively impact Quality of Life (QoL). Our study used a cross-sectional design and research participants were 99 women in natural menopause. In our study, we analyzed the relationship between age at menopause onset, hormone therapy use, duration of couple relationship, menopause duration, psychological morbidity, marital satisfaction, menopause representations, and QoL following the Wilson and Cleary Health-Related QoL conceptual model. The authors found that negative representations, lower marital satisfaction, psychological morbidity, and shorter duration of menopause contributed to lower QoL. Moreover, the authors found that psychological morbidity and menopause representations (identity and control/cure dimensions) had an indirect effect between marital satisfaction and vasomotor, psychosocial, and sexual QoL. Also, we found that age at the onset of menopause showed a moderating effect in the final model. Future studies should replicate these results in a longitudinal design and analyze how the variables that showed a moderating role and indirect effects will function as moderators and mediators, respectively, over time.

Abstract	Type 1 diabetes is one of the most frequent chronic diseases in adolescents. To manage diabetes and prevent complications, a set of self-care behaviors needs to be implemented into family daily routines. This study analyzed diabetes representations in adolescents and their parents, the dissimilarities between them, and the relationship between illness dissimilarities and adherence/quality of life (QoL) in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The sample included 200 participants: 100 adolescents with type 1 diabetes and 100 parents who accompanied the adolescents. Adolescents were assessed on adherence (Self-Care Inventory-Revised), quality of life (Diabetes QoL) and family support (Diabetes Family Behavior Scale). Both adolescents and parents were assessed on illness representations (Brief-Illness Perception Questionnaire). Dissimilarities in illness representations between parents and adolescents were performed using Olsen et al's proposal. Parents showed a more negative representation of diabetes than adolescents. Adolescents' illness representations, the dissimilarities between adolescents' and parents' illness representations, and family support were associated with adolescents' adherence and QoL. Higher family support moderated the relationship between the dissimilarity in timeline representations and QoL, explaining 17.8% of the variance on QoL. Adolescent's gender (male) was a moderator in the relationship between adolescent's coherence and QoL, explaining 18.6% of the variance on QoL. Adolescent's gender (female) was a moderator in the relationship between timeline and QoL, explaining 11.9% of the variance on QoL. Being a male parent was a moderator in the relationship between adolescent's concerns and QoL, explaining 13.5% of the variance on QoL. Intervention programs should focus on illness representations, particularly on the dissimilarities between adolescents and parents, as well as on family support in order to promote adolescents' adherence and QoL.

Abstract	Purpose: Cataract and glaucoma are two of the most common ocular comorbidities. Cataract surgery has been shown to influence intra-ocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma; nevertheless, the extent of this effect remains controversial, especially in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). The aim of this review is to determine the real effect of cataract surgery on IOP change in patients with OAG, focusing on data retrieved from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: A systematic review was performed, including six different RCTs that studied the net effect of cataract surgery on IOP. Eligibility criteria required a full washout from hypotensive therapy, allowing accurate measurement of unmedicated IOP, both before and after surgery. Results: Included studies revealed a consistent reduction on IOP occurring after surgery, varying between 4.1 and 8.5 mmHg depending on the RCT. There was also a decrease in the number of glaucoma medications, with a mean reduction of 0.2-1.0 agents postoperatively. Evaluation of adverse outcomes of cataract surgery showed a very favourable safety profile. Conclusion: Although the role of cataract surgery in the algorithm of glaucoma treatment remains to be established, this review highlights a consistent decrease on IOP following surgery and a reduced dependency on glaucoma medications. Potential downgrade in medication can thus be considered in well-controlled glaucoma patients after phacoemulsification. PROSPERO registry: CRD42022343378.

Abstract	Bryozoans are commonly associated with various artificial structures in marine environments and have been responsible for several bioinvasion events worldwide. Understanding the interactions between bryozoans and artificial structures is therefore essential to prevent the establishment and spread of potential bioinvaders. This study investigated bryozoan recruitment on four different substrates (PET, nautical ropes, metal, and PVC) placed in three orientations (vertical, horizontal facing down and facing up) in an area of the Western Atlantic. In total, 15 species of bryozoans were found. The results revealed significant variations in assemblages' richness, with bryozoans showing a preference for settling on PVC (14 species found) and on the underside of horizontal substrates (15 species found), resulting in the higher representativity observed in this study. Cryptogenic (nine species) and exotic (five species) bryozoans dominated the assemblages in all treatments, indicating that the type of substrate (especially artificial) and its orientation can favor the settlement of bryozoans, particularly non-native species. Therefore, the availability of multiple types of artificial substrates in marine environments should be treated as a cause for concern.

Abstract	Artificial habitats, such as harbours and marinas, are entry doors for the introduction and dispersal of species. Surveys on fouling community in these habitats help to understand preventing environmental impacts and management of invasive species. Thus, a survey on fouling bryozoan fauna was carried out along 17 artificial habitats (eight harbours and nine marinas) from three coastal stretches in Southwestern Atlantic. A total of 55 species were identified, including 13 non-native, 33 cryptogenic and nine native taxa. Only five bryozoan species were found in more than 75% of sampled sites. Our analysis revealed that bryozoan fouling communities in artificial habitats do not vary significantly between commercial and recreational localities. However, we also found that faunal assemblages varied significantly along Brazilian coastal stretches that are distinguished by environmental conditions, such as salinity and temperature.

Abstract	During the cell cycle it is critical that the duplicated DNA faithfully segregates to give rise to two genetically identical daughter cells. An even distribution of the genome during mitosis is mediated by mitotic spindle microtubules, assisted by, among others, motor proteins of the kinesin superfamily. Chromokinesins are members of the kinesin superfamily that harbour a specific DNA-binding domain. The best characterized chromokinesins belong to the kinesin-4/Kif4 and kinesin-10/Kif22 families, respectively. Functional analysis of chromokinesins in several model systems revealed their involvement in chromosome arm orientation and oscillations. This is consistent with their originally proposed role in the generation of polar ejection forces that assist chromosome congression to the spindle equator. Kinesin-12/Kif15 members comprise a third family of chromokinesins, but their role remains less understood. Noteworthy, all chromokinesins exhibit chromosome-independent localization on spindle microtubules, and recent works have significantly extended the portfolio of mitotic processes in which chromokinesins play a role, from error correction and DNA compaction, to the regulation of spindle microtubule dynamics.

Abstract	Introduction: The General Family Functioning is a subscale of the Family Assessment Device (FAD) that assess overall family functioning. This study analyzed the psychometric properties of the General Family Functioning subscale in Portuguese families with adolescents diagnosed with Type I Diabetes and healthy adolescents comparing also family functioning in both samples. Method: A total of 100 parents of adolescents with Type I Diabetes and 106 parents of healthy adolescents participated in this study. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed for both samples to analyze the adequacy of each model. Results: Both confirmatory factor analyses maintained the design in one-factor models with good fit indexes. The internal consistency in both samples was good, but slightly higher in parents of healthy adolescents. The instrument also presented good convergent and divergent validity. Discussion: The Portuguese version of the General Family Functioning subscale showed good psychometric properties and reliability in healthy adolescents and in adolescent with Type I Diabetes.
