TRAJETORIA DA REGULAMENTAÇÃO DOS BENEFÍCIOS EVENTUAIS: da Previdência ao SUAS
Authors: Soares Marielle Anne Morais , Gonçalves André Menezes
Published: February 2017

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o histórico de regulamentação dos Benefícios Eventuais passando da Previdência até sua atual configuração como integrante do Sistema Único de Assistência Social. Por meio deste panorama entendemos o processo de construção do SUAS e dos benefícios eventuais através de uma conturbada trajetória, passando de auxílio maternidade e funeral, destinados somente aos contribuintes da Previdência, para benefícios assistenciais dentro da LOAS, ampliando seu acesso e as modalidades de provisão. A ausência de regulamentação pelos municípios trouxe um atraso de mais de 10 anos para reconhecê-los como direito socioassistencial, o que foi fomentado após as iniciativas do CNAS e do MDS. O seu reconhecimento como provisão suplementar e provisória se dá com a Lei nº 12.435/2011, que altera o texto da LOAS e traz grandes inovações para o SUAS e para os benefícios.Palavras-chave: Assistência Social, benefícios eventuais, Sistema Único de Assistência Social.

v-Mapper: An Application-Aware Resource Consolidation Scheme for Cloud Data Centres
Authors: Abbasi Aaqif Afzaal , Jin Hai
Published: February 2017

Cloud computing refers to applications delivered as services over the Internet. Cloud systems employ policies that are inherently dynamic in nature and that depend on temporal conditions defined in terms of external events, such as the measurement of bandwidth, use of hosts, intrusion detection or specific time events. In this paper, we investigate an optimized resource management scheme named v-Mapper. The basic premise of v-Mapper is to exploit application-awareness concepts using software-defined networking (SDN) features. This paper makes three key contributions to the field: (1) We propose a virtual machine (VM) placement scheme that can effectively mitigate the VM placement issues for data-intensive applications; (2) We propose a validation scheme that will ensure that a service is entertained only if there are sufficient resources available for its execution and (3) We present a scheduling policy that aims to eliminate network load constraints. An evaluation was carried out with various benchmarks and demonstrated that v-Mapper shows improved performance over other state-of-the-art approaches in terms of average task completion time, service delay time and bandwidth utilization. Given the growing importance of supporting large-scale data processing and analysis in datacentres, the v-Mapper system has the potential to make a positive impact in improving datacentre performance in the future.

Published: February 2017

O conhecimento da anatomia dos canais radiculares é um pré-requisito para o sucesso do tratamento endodôntico. Pré-molares inferiores têm revelado anatomias anômalas. A ocorrência de três canais com forames independentes (tipo VIII, Vertucci) em pré-molares inferiores é muito rara. Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar e discutir sobre o tratamento endodôntico de um primeiro pré-molar inferior com três canais radiculares. Paciente de 43 anos relatava dor à mastigação no primeiro pré-molar inferior direito. Clinicamente, apresentava fratura da parede ocluso-distal, cárie no remanescente coronário e exposição da câmara pulpar. Ao teste de sensibilidade pulpar foi verificada resposta negativa e à percussão vertical o dente respondeu positivamente. Radiograficamente observou-se uma bifurcação radicular ao nível do terço médio, sugerindo canais extras e radiolucidez periapical. O diagnóstico foi de necrose pulpar e lesão periapical crônica, com necessidade de tratamento endodôntico. Após anestesia, realizou-se a remoção de tecido cariado e adequada forma de conveniência. O tratamento foi realizado em uma única sessão por meio de localizador eletrônico foraminal e sistema rotatório Mtwo, sendo o diâmetro cirúrgico 25.06 nos canais vestibulares e 30.05 no canal lingual. A substância irrigadora empregada foi o hipoclorito de sódio 2,5%.  Os canais foram obturados com cones de guta-percha e Endomethasone utilizando a técnica de condensação lateral. Em seguida foi realizada a restauração provisória e radiografia final. Concluiu-se que o sucesso do tratamento endodôntico, envolvendo o primeiro pré-molar inferior com três canais, requer do dentista um vasto conhecimento anatômico e uma investigação detalhada do caso a ser tratado.Descritores: Anatomia; Endodontia; Tratamento do Canal Radicular; Dente Pré-Molar.

Authors: Kallsen Craig E. , Parfitt Dan E.
Published: February 2017

‘Gumdrop’ is a new female pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) cultivar for California. It matures earlier than all commercial cultivars with equivalent yield and nut quality to ‘Kerman’. ‘Gumdrop’ can be harvested about 10–12 days before ‘Golden Hills’ pistachio (Parfitt et al., 2007) and 24 days before ‘Kerman’, the standard pistachio cultivar grown in California (Parfitt et al., 2012). ‘Gumdrop’ has very good yield, nut quality, and processed nut appearance similar to ‘Golden Hills’ and ‘Kerman’. ‘Gumdrop’ blooms about 5 days before ‘Golden Hills’ and 10–11 days before ‘Kerman’. ‘Gumdrop’, ‘Golden Hills’, and ‘Kerman’ comprise a harvest series, maturing over a 24–30 day period. The early nut maturity of ‘Gumdrop’ will permit pistachio growers to extend their harvest period. The earlier maturing date of ‘Gumdrop’ also makes it less susceptible to insect damage from navel orangeworm, a major pest of pistachio implicated in the occurrence of aflatoxin contamination.

The effect of galacturonic acid oligosaccharides (GAOs) and pectic oligosaccharides (POs) in reducing postharvest nonchilling peel pitting (NCPP), decay, and chilling injury (CI) in orange cv. Navelina and the effect of POs in reducing CI in grapefruit cv. Rio Red, were investigated. The incidence of these disorders was examined in fruits stored at chilling and nonchilling temperatures and at 90% to 95% relative humidity (RH). POs showed a better efficacy than GAOs in reducing postharvest losses in orange. The POs were able to reduce NCPP and decay in ‘Navelina’ fruits stored at 20 °C, irrespective of the fruit maturity stage. The application of 10 g·L−1 POs also reduced CI and the chilling-induced ethylene production in oranges and grapefruits maintained at the chilling temperature. Likewise, the decrease in ethylene production found in ‘Navelina’ fruits that developed NCPP during storage at the nonchilling temperature was related to lower peel damage. Moreover, results showed that POs do not induce an increase in ethylene when fruit are stored under conditions that do not cause stress-related injury to fruit. Therefore, POs efficacy in reducing postharvest physiological disorders is not likely mediated by ethylene. Overall results indicate that the application of POs may be an acceptable alternative to mitigate postharvest losses of citrus fruits.

By clinical definition, gingival recession refers to the exposure of the root surface by an apical shift in the position of the gingiva. Recession is important because it can lead to poor esthetics, tooth hypersensitivity, loss of periodontal support, difficulties in maintenance of oral hygiene, and increased susceptibility to caries. Although its etiology is not fully understood, periodontal disease and mechanical trauma are considered the primary factors in the pathogenesis of gingival recession. Orthodontic treatment might also promote the development of gingival recessions. It has been well established that orthodontic forces can move roots close to or through the alveolar cortical plates, leading to bone dehiscence. In such instances, the marginal gingiva, without proper alveolar bone support, might be expected to migrate apically and lead to root exposure. This assumption is based on the fact that in areas of recession, a subjacent alveolar bone dehiscence is always present.

Security is the prime concern in our day to day life while performing any activity. In the current scenario, accidental death of lineman is often read and evidenced. In this direction, a safety measure to safe guard the operator is found very necessary looking into the present working style. The electric lineman safety system is designed to control the control panel doors and circuit breaker by using a password for the safety. Critical electrical accidents to lineman are on the rise during electric line repair may be due to lack of communication and co-ordination between the maintenance staff and electric substation staff. The proposed system provides a solution that ensures safety of lineman. The control to turn ON or OFF the line is maintained by the lineman. The system has an arrangement such that a password is required to operate the doors of the control panel and circuit breaker (ON/OFF). A secured password is requested and received from the control room by the lineman for the point of repair or service. This request is registered and a password is sent to the lineman’s mobile and control panel GSM module for the further work. The password is entered through the matrix keypad which is interfaced to the Arduino Uno microcontroller. The entered password is compared with the password received by the control panel GSM receiver. If the entered password is correct then the circuit breaker ON/OFF and door OPEN/CLOSE feature is enabled for the lineman to take up repair. Any intruder tries to operate the mechanism with the wrong password by three times it will display a message in the LCD display and a message is sent to the control room regarding unauthorized accessing of the system for the safety reasons.
El debate sobre la asistencia a los pobres en la españa del siglo XVI
Authors: Molero Hernández Paz
Published: February 2017

En este trabajo se analiza el debate sobre los pobres en la España del siglo XVI, a raíz de la prohibición de la mendicidad; en concreto, la controversia que originaron Domingo de Soto y Juan de Robles en 1545. Se establecen también, analogías entre dos sociedades -la del siglo XVI y la de la actualidad- en torno a dos ideas: la asistencia que se debe otorgar a los desfavorecidos, analizando si esa ayuda, sea privada o estatal, coopera o colabora a su descrédito social, y una segunda que es la idea del destino universal de los bienes y del uso de lo común en ambas sociedades.
O QUE É CIÊNCIA? CONCEPÇÕES DE LICENCIANDOS EM CIÊNCIAS BIOLÓGICAS E QUÍMICA

A Natureza da Ciência (NdC) refere-se à Epistemologia da Ciência, estando associada a dois elementos: a prática de fazer ciência e o conhecimento produzido. Assim, é fundamental contribuir para a educação científica, em especial daqueles em formação docente, uma vez que estes auxiliarão na divulgação e construção destas ideias. O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar a presença das concepções sobre NdC entre acadêmicos dos cursos de graduação (licenciatura) em Ciências Biológicas e Química, da Universidade XXX. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi aplicada a 30% dos acadêmicos de ambos os cursos.  O instrumento de pesquisa constou em um registro de desenho acerca da pergunta estabelecida: “O que é Ciência?”, tendo sido permitido um tempo de um minuto. Após, o material foi coletado e analisado seguindo a análise de conteúdo por categorização. Os resultados mostraram que a Ciência é tida principalmente como uma atividade experimental e quase específica de laboratório, mostrando uma visão reducionista da NdC. Pode-se inferir ainda que a visão de Ciência é orientada de acordo com a maneira que a área se estrutura bem como pela forma que ela se relaciona com seus objetos de estudo, mostrando uma visão fragmentada do conhecimento.

To mitigate fouling of the ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and improve permeate quality, we coupled granular filters (GF) with UF membrane as a pre-treatment for reconstituted seawater in the presence of algal bloom. Mono and bilayer granular filtrations were led at a mean velocity of 10 m h−1 over a 7-hour period. Both GF gave the same algal cell retention rate (∼63%) after 7 hours of filtration. Turbidity reduction rate was 50% for the monolayer filter and 75% for the bilayer filter. Resulting organic matter removal rate was 10% for the monolayer filter and 35% for the bilayer filter. Dissolved organic carbon removal was low (20%) with the bilayer filter and non-existent with the monolayer filter. GF-coupled UF reduced humic acids in the permeate (20%) compared with UF alone. Peak pressure of 3 bars was reached at the end of 30 minutes of UF in both direct UF or UF after monolayer GF. The filtrate from the bilayer GF enables UF over a longer period (7 hours).

A pilot plant was studied to investigate a new method for reclaiming wastewater from the industrial area of Jurong, producing high quality water from it for industrial reuse. The new process used an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and a membrane bioreactor (MBR) with a submerged ceramic flat sheet membrane. The feedwater from the chamber with the industrial wastewater was high in chemical oxygen demand (COD), which varied between 644 and 2,380 mg L–1 and had a pH range of 6.7–7.1. The MBR process was operated in series at a flux of 18–25 Lm–2 h–1 for 100 days. The average COD and the biological oxygen demand of products of the above system were 155 and 9 mg L–1, respectively. The results of this study indicated that a UASB-ceramic MBR process was capable of stably producing high quality water for industrial reuse from industrial wastewater.

The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of applying dynamic modelling and real energy prices on a full scale water resource recovery facility (WRRF) for the evaluation of control strategies in terms of energy costs with aeration. The Activated Sludge Model No. 1 (ASM1) was coupled with real energy pricing and a power consumption model and applied as a dynamic simulation case study. The model calibration is based on the STOWA protocol. The case study investigates the importance of providing real energy pricing comparing (i) real energy pricing, (ii) weighted arithmetic mean energy pricing and (iii) arithmetic mean energy pricing. The operational strategies evaluated were (i) old versus new air diffusers, (ii) different DO set-points and (iii) implementation of a carbon removal controller based on nitrate sensor readings. The application in a full scale WRRF of the ASM1 model coupled with real energy costs was successful. Dynamic modelling with real energy pricing instead of constant energy pricing enables the wastewater utility to optimize energy consumption according to the real energy price structure. Specific energy cost allows the identification of time periods with potential for linking WRRF with the electric grid to optimize the treatment costs, satisfying operational goals.
