A critical taxonomic and nomenclatural review of the Brazilian species of Acalypha (Euphorbiaceae, Acalyphoideae) is presented. As a result, 40 species (44 taxa including six subspecies) are accepted, 37 of them native (17 endemic) and three introduced; also, 132 names are considered synonyms, 28 of them for the first time. Two new combinations are proposed: Acalypha brasiliensis subsp. asterotricha and A. brasiliensis subsp. psilophylla, previously considered varieties of A. brasiliensis. Information about types is provided for all the valid names, and 54 lectotypes and one neotype are designated. Identification keys and detailed distribution maps of all the native taxa are also provided.

Resumen: Un componente básico en la rehabilitación e integración comunitaria de la persona con un trastorno mental grave es el orientado a favorecer la consecución y mantenimiento del empleo. En los entornos laborales, el análisis de los riesgos psicosociales es fundamental. El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar los factores que promueven riesgos psicosociales. Se cuenta con 175 trabajadores (70% varones), mayoritariamente diagnóstico de esquizofrenia (45.7%) y trabajando como peón (49.1%). Estudio multirecurso, con diseño transversal, con una sola muestra. Las variables fueron las sociodemográficas, laborales, clínicas y de la percepción de los riesgos psicosociales (DECORE). Se detectan riesgos psicosociales en cuestiones como recompensa y control. Hay diferencias significativas en la percepción de riesgos psicosociales entre las personas en CEE y en empresa ordinal en las escalas de demandas cognitivas (t = -3.268, gl = 173, p < 0.05) y recompensa (t = 2.479, gl = 173, p < 0.05). Los resultados tienen implicaciones para las empresas, los trabajadores, Administraciones Públicas y los CRL.

This chapter discusses specific aspects of palliative care related to veterans who are living with serious illness and those at end of life. Veterans of any country can be considered a special population because of their sacrifice and service to their nation, regardless of whether they served after volunteering or being drafted. This chapter, however, concentrates on veterans of the United States Armed Forces and profiles Vietnam-era veterans, who are the largest living cohort of veterans over age 65. The end-of-life experiences of post-Vietnam veterans have not been systematically studied and therefore not discussed extensively except to make readers aware of the person’s potential veteran status and to alert social workers to remain informed of veteran-specific resources to help that individual. Similarly, the experiences of veterans and the COVID-19 pandemic have not been studied, but the authors offer learning from their experiences working with veterans and their families who have been affected by the virus.
