Authors: Vasal S. K. , Vergara N. , McLean S.
Published: October 2018

The populations 21 (Tuxpeño) and 32 (Eto Blanco) are known to be heterotic and are being improved using a modified interpopulation improvement system. In this study, synthetics with 3, 6, 9 and 12 lines were developed from each population and then intercrossed in a design-2 mating system to generate 16 intersynthetic hybrids. The 16 intersynthetic hybrids, 8 parcntal synthetics, and a single cross hybrid entry as a control were evaluated in four localities in a 5 x 5 simple lattice design with 4 replications. The yield performance of synthetics from Eto and Tuxpeño involving 6- 12 lines and the 3-lines Tuxpeño synthetics was similar (5.8 - 6.3 t/ha). However, the 3-1ine Eto synthctic registered a marked decrease in yield (5.1 t/ha). The bettcr parent heterosis of intersynthetic hybrids ranged from 11.1 to 29.6%. Usually, crosses among synthetics involving a fewer lines resulted in higher heterosis compared to synthetic crosses involving more than 3 lines. The results suggest that intersynthetic hybrids formed from 6 - 9 lines seem more appealing considering the level of heterosis (>20.0%) and a high yield per se of parental varieties. The intersynthetic hybrids offer an attractive option for those national programs with newly initiated hybrid projects, for creating hybrid -oriented maize germplasm and inbred line development.

[ARTICLE PARTIAL RETRACTION] Organic acid carriers in tolerance to toxic aluminum in wheat
Authors: Silva Gerarda Beatriz Pinto da , Zanella Camila Martini , Delatorre Carla Andréa , Chaves Márcia Soares , Martinelli José Antônio , Federizzi Luiz Carlos
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT: Aluminum (Al) toxicity in plants is seen in about 15% of the soils worldwide, restraining yields in arable land. In Brazil, acidic soils limit production of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other cereals. Al is toxic for most winter cereals when its concentration increases and soil pH is below 5. One of the main concerns with acidic soil is the increase in the mobility of Al3+ions. Al binds to cell walls in roots, preventing meristematic elongation in sensitive species, causing damage to the root system and results in lower yields. Al3+ forms highly stable complexes with phosphorus (P), limiting its availability to plants, as well as reducing cell division and elongation. To deal with Al toxicity, plants have developed strategies such as organic acid (OA) exudation by roots; this mechanism of detoxification has been well-characterized. OAs, in turn, chelate ions Al3, forming non-toxic compounds that do not penetrate the root system. Some genes responsible for Al tolerance in wheat have been identified, particularly TaALMT1 and TaMATE1B that transport malate and citrate OAs, respectively. In this review, we discussed the mechanisms by which Al damages roots those by which plants are protected, primarily through two genes. We also described the interaction of the ALMT1 gene with P and iron (Fe).
Challengs in coffee quality: Cultural, chemical and microbiological aspects
Authors: Pimenta Carlos José , Angélico Caroline Lima , Chalfoun Sára Maria
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT The Brazilian coffee industry is undergoing a great transformation in order to serve a consumer market that is becoming increasingly demanding with regard to quality. Considering the multiple determinants of the final quality of the product, one must consider factors that are involved in steps from the pre-harvest stage to storage. The execution of the different stages according to good-practice programmes has repercussions on microbiological, physical and chemical characteristics, which in turn affect the quality of the final product with regard to sensorial properties and safety. There has been research progress in the improvement of quality evaluation techniques that minimize the subjective effects of traditional classification. It is also observed that socio-environmental aspects of coffee production, while not the subject of this review, have broadened the concept of quality since an increasing number of consumers are interested in aspects regarding agricultural sustainability in addition to strictly sensorial aspects.
GLYCEMIC INDEX OF PRE-EXERCISE MEAL IN DIABETES MELLITUS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Faria Valéria Cristina de , Lima Luciana Moreira , Pereira Danielle Aparecida Gomes
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Physical exercise and diet quality are essential for glycemic control of diabetic patients, but consideration must be given to the risk of hypoglycemia in response to exercise. Therefore this study aims at 1) conducting a systematic review of the glycemic index (GI) of the pre-exercise meal and of glycemic behavior during and after aerobic exercise in diabetic subjects, and 2) discussing the safest and most appropriate pre-exercise nutritional guidance for this population. In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), two researchers independently undertook a systematic search. A third researcher participated in the selection of articles due to the presence of discrepancies. We selected two studies which both suggest that a low glycemic index (GI) meal is the best pre-exercise option, one of which suggests that the optimal time for food intake is 30 minutes before exercise. However, these results are not sufficient to define a clinical conduct, and other studies are needed to elucidate whether GI is a relevant parameter for pre- and post-exercise clinical monitoring of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), particularly as regards to the different guidelines for type 1 and type 2 DM.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: The literature has shown that a gap is identified regarding the acute effects of blood flow restriction training on aerobic variables. Objective: to analyze oxygen consumption (VO2) during and after two resistance training sessions: traditional high intensity and low intensity with blood flow restriction. Methods: After one-repetition maximum tests, eight male participants (25.7±3 years) completed the two experimental protocols, separated by 72 hours, in a randomized order: a) high intensity training at 80% of 1RM (HIRE) and b) low intensity training at 20% of 1RM combined with blood flow restriction (LIRE + BFR). Three sets of four exercises (bench press, squat, barbell bent-over row and deadlift) were performed. Oxygen consumption and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption were measured. Results: the data showed statistically significant differences between the traditional high intensity training and low intensity training with blood flow restriction, with higher values for traditional training sessions, except for the last five minutes of the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. Oxygen consumption measured during training was higher (p = 0.001) for the HIRE (20.32 ± 1.46 mL·kg-1·min-1) compared to the LIRE + BFR (15.65 ± 1.14 mL·kg-1·min-1). Conclusion: Oxygen uptakes rates during and after the exercise sessions were higher for the high intensity training methodology. However, when taking into account the volume of training provided by both methods, these differences were attenuated. Level of Evidence III - Non-consecutive studies, or studies without consistently applied reference stand.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: High-intensity resistance exercises (RE) cause an inflammatory response that reduces functionality. Objective: To evaluate the effects of Cold Water Immersion (CWI) on leukocytosis, oxidative stress parameters, inflammatory markers and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) resulting from a RE session in untrained volunteers. Methods: Thirteen volunteers (aged 26 ± 5 years) who do not engage in RE were randomized and underwent Control RE and RE with CWI sessions. Exercise sessions (leg extension machine, squats and leg presses) consisted of four sets of 10 maximum repetitions (one-week interval between the assessment and the sessions). CWI consisted of immersion in water (15°C) to the umbilicus for 10 minutes immediately after the exercise session. Complete blood count, CRP, creatine kinase (CK) and lipoperoxidation (LPO) were assessed previously (baseline) and immediately, 30 minutes and 2 hours after RE. DOMS was assessed 24 hours after the sessions. Results: RE induced progressive leukocytosis (P<0.001). CRP was elevated 2 hours after exercise (P=0.008) only in the Control RE session. CK increased 30 minutes and 2 hours after exercise (P<0.001) in the Control session, whereas in the CWI session the increase was observed after 2 hours (P<0.001). LPO increased only in the Control session after 2 hours (P=0.025). CWI reduced DOMS by 57% (P<0.001). Conclusion: CWI slows the inflammatory response and reduces DOMS in untrained individuals undergoing RE. Level of Evidence I; Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Physical activity has become less frequent since the 1980s, even among more active children. Objective: To analyze excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and total energy expenditure (TEE) in children during and after three different activities. Methods: Sixteen healthy children (9.6±0.1 yrs.) randomly underwent the following procedures lasting 30 minutes on different days: (a) traditional games (PLAY), (b) active video game (Dance Dance Revolution; DDR), and (c) watching television (TV). Oxygen consumption (VO2) was measured at rest, at the 10th, 20th, and 30th minute of intervention, and for 40 minutes post-intervention. TEE was also measured. Results: At the end of intervention, VO2 had increased by 330% and 166% for PLAY and DDR, respectively, compared to the rest. EPOC in PLAY was seen to occur at the 10th, 20th, and 30th post-interventional minutes from 7.00±1.02 (at rest) to 10.83±0.94, 10.03±0.58, and 9.80±0.77mL.kg-1.min-1, respectively. However, EPOC in DDR occurred at only the 10th postinterventional minute (7.04 to 8.61 mL.kg-1.min-1; p<0.01). After intervention, TEE in PLAY was greater than in DDR and TV (112.08±19.45 vs 56.98±6.34 vs 36.39±4.5 kcal; p<0.01), respectively. Conclusions: PLAY induced children to reach a greater VO2 during activity and greater EPOC and TEE compared to DDR and TV. Level of evidence A1b; Crossover study.
MODERATE INTENSITY PHYSICAL EXERCISE: PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGICAL ASPECTS
Authors: Fernandes Eduardo Vignoto , Estanislau Celio , Venancio Emerson José
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT The literature presents several instances of interaction between the nervous system (NS) and the immune system (IS). These interactions are promoted by several molecules, such as cytokines and hormones, with modulating action for both the NS and IS. In this sense, the two systems may influence each other: changes in behavior may be accompanied by alterations in the IS (e.g., immunosuppression) and immunological disorders, such as infections, may modulate behavior (e.g., anxiety and depression). Considering that chronic stress, in addition to affecting behavior, also modulates the IS and that there is evidence that moderate intensity physical exercise (PE) protects physical and mental health, the objective of this review is to explore the influence of moderate-intensity PE on behavior and immunity.

Published: October 2018

Abstract Introduction: The motor trajectory of pre-term children is an important indicator of health during infancy, since alterations may be a signal for the need of professional intervention. Objective: To describe percentiles and motor development curves for Brazilian preterm infants in the first year of life, determining the reference values for categorization of motor performance assessed by the AIMS. Methods: Participated in this cross-sectional study 976 children born pre-term, newly-born to 12 months of corrected age. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used to assess participants’ motor development. The scores of the Brazilian norms were used as comparison criteria. Results: Children born pre-term showed lower scores compared to children born full-term indicating the need for a specific percentile curve for that population. The scores differentiated at P1 to P99 percentiles allowing for the categorization of children with typical development, at risk and with atypical development. At 0, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 months an overlapping of extreme percentiles (P1, P5 and P10; P90, P95 and P99) was observed, but not in the other percentiles. Conclusion: The percentiles described indicate that preterm children presented lower motor performance than full-term children and AIMS has discriminant power for the clinical evaluation of these children. The developmental curves showed lower capacity for behavioral differentiation in the extreme percentiles.

Published: October 2018

RESUMO A inclusão do mundo do trabalho na formação funda, no processo ensino-aprendizagem em saúde, uma ligação indissociável entre as unidades de saúde e as instituições de ensino superior. Formar profissionais o mais próximo da realidade dos usuários, com participação ativa nos problemas e necessidades que estão postos na vida, é o principal motor deste processo e convoca profissionais, usuários, alunos e docentes a vivenciar uma permanente tensão entre cuidar e ensinar. O encontro entre o trabalhador de saúde, o aluno e o usuário revela-se o principal foco de intercâmbio pedagógico, configurando-se como um cenário produtor de conhecimento e de questões para investigação, além do exercício do cuidado em saúde. Algo que remete ao desafio de construir estruturas pedagógicas capazes de produzir cuidado e conhecimento a partir do mundo do trabalho e considera a articulação de modos de agir e cuidar no campo da saúde. Trabalhar em busca de constituir formas de ensinar/aprender significa operar e agir sobre conceitos e sobre o campo de experiência que se coloca como um problema do experimentar na existência, pois estamos imersos no mundo do trabalho e do cotidiano dos serviços. Articular vínculo e responsabilidade dos sujeitos envolvidos com a produção do cuidado pode ser um meio de produzir maneiras de ensinar com outros sentidos e significados. Um arranjo em que a experiência no trabalho se torna capaz de produzir indícios para a construção de projetos terapêuticos e de ensinar produtores de sentido com respostas significativas às questões sobre cuidar e formar profissionais em saúde.
Medicina além das grades – uma Experiência da Universidade de São Paulo em Ribeirão Preto
Authors: Oliveira Felipe Alves , Mattos Augustus Tadeu Relo , Pazin Filho Antônio , Santos Luciane Loures dos
Published: October 2018

RESUMO A saúde da população privada de liberdade possui aspectos peculiares dada a elevada prevalência de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, lesões dermatológicas e transtornos mentais agravados pela superlotação e precárias condições das unidades penitenciárias. O atendimento à saúde oferecido é de baixa resolutividade, baseado na abordagem de queixas pontuais, com dificuldade de acesso a outros serviços de saúde. A integração ensino-serviço é uma das diretrizes para os cursos de medicina, que tem o papel de formar médicos críticos e reflexivos a partir das necessidades sociais. É dentro dessa aproximação da universidade ao sistema prisional, que nasceu em 2011, a disciplina Medicina do Confinamento na Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo. O presente relato descreve o processo de concepção dessa disciplina, sua estrutura teórico-prática, assim como oferece uma reflexão sobre o aprendizado e suas particularidades no confinamento. A disciplina, de caráter optativo, tem 30 horas de duração, sendo ofertada duas vezes ao ano, com disponibilidade para 40 vagas anuais. Até 2016, 188 estudantes de medicina participaram da disciplina, que possui além da programação teórica, atividades práticas realizadas em penitenciárias na região de Ribeirão Preto. As distintas realidades experimentadas pelo aluno de graduação no cenário da universidade e das penitenciárias possibilitaram a reflexão sobre a importância da integração destes dois mundos que quando em contato contribuem tanto para qualificação da assistência prestada, quanto para a responsabilidade do estudante como cidadão e do seu papel como profissional. A disciplina promoveu a aproximação da sociedade às populações marginalizadas, participando da ressocialização das pessoas desprovidas de liberdade, além de suscitar reflexões sobre as dimensões do adoecimento, e sua influência no contexto de vida desses pacientes permitindo, portanto, refletir de que maneira a construção de projetos de cuidado adequados a realidade dessas pessoas possa garantir os princípios da universalidade, equidade e integralidade da atenção.

Published: October 2018

RESUMO Ao longo dos últimos anos, metodologias de ensino na educação de nível superior evoluíram e têm valorizado cada vez mais o papel do estudante no processo ensino-aprendizagem e a construção do seu próprio conhecimento e de seus pares. No entanto, a estrutura formadora presente em grande parte dos cursos de ensino médico ainda carece de inovações em suas práticas pedagógicas que permitam a vivência de significativas experiências formadoras e que estimulem a aprendizagem baseada no diálogo e na interação entre os estudantes. Uma das propostas que têm sido estimuladas como alternativa para melhorar a formação médica é o Team Based Learning (TBL), que favorece a aprendizagem dinâmica, com discussões em grupo, ambiente motivador, cooperativo e solidário. Nesse contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo, por meio de um relato de experiência, descrever o planejamento, a implantação e o desenvolvimento de conteúdos sobre concepção e formação do ser humano e saúde reprodutiva utilizando o TBL como metodologia de ensino em um curso de Medicina da expansão do Programa Mais Médicos localizado no interior do Nordeste brasileiro. Inicialmente, os estudantes recebiam roteiros prévios de estudos sobre os conteúdos que seriam desenvolvidos na sala de aula e realizavam o estudo prévio das atividades desenvolvidas em sala de aula. Em sala, respondiam individualmente a um teste. Após, divididos em pequenos grupos, debatiam cada uma das questões e respostas que eles elegiam, entrando em consenso para a apresentação de uma única resposta do grupo. O TBL foi bastante útil ao processo de aprendizagem e na avaliação da formação dos acadêmicos. Os estudantes exercitaram suas habilidades de comunicação, argumentação e convencimento, melhorando sua interação entre pares, com os docentes e desempenho pessoal. Acredita-se que o TBL permitiu ofertar de forma mais articulada os conhecimentos necessários para responder às demandas e necessidades de saúde mais frequentes da população e auxiliar na transformação da realidade das condições de vida e saúde locais.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify the association between self-perception of health, gender, age, economic status, quality of life, cultural aspects and contexts of violence in high school adolescents. Methods: an observational analytical cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample composed of 386 high school students aged 15-19 years. The data collection was made in 16 public schools. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate data analyses were made. Models with hierarchical entry of the blocks according to the level of determination established in the theoretical model were built, and for the evaluation of associations in the logistic regression models, the significance level of 5% was considered. The Odds Ratio and its respective confidence interval of 95% were used as a measure of the magnitude of the associations. Results: the data revealed that more than two-thirds of the participants reported a positive self-perception of health and, in the hierarchical multiple logistic regression model, to have own house, to practice any religion, and the quality of life remained associated with positive Self-perception of health. Conclusion: having their own house, practicing a given religion and having a better quality of life increased the chances of a positive self-perception of health.

ABSTRACT Objective: to characterize the therapeutic itinerary followed by individuals who died from oral cancer in one area in the northeastern of Brazil, measuring the distances and average time spent in the searching for diagnosis and treatment service. Methods: this is an epidemiological, cross-sectional, retrospective study, where the key informants were interviewed and the points of residence and services were geo-referenced. The variables related to the location of diagnosis, the distance traveled and the time spent for the diagnostic sites, treatment and place of death, services used during the therapeutic course and the main access difficulties were studied. Percent differences were tested using Fisher's exact test, with α = 5%. To evaluate the behavior and the identification of hot areas for this mortality, the Kernel density estimator technique was used. Results: of the 18 cases of death due to oral cancer, 94.4 % were diagnosed in reference centers; 83.3% were diagnosed and treated for up to 60 days; 77.8% were diagnosed and died in less than one year, and in 72.2 %, financials reasons were identified as an obstacle to access to a health care provider. The average distance traveled to the diagnoses sites was 7,364.7 meters, with an average time spent of 32.67 min and for treatment, it was 6,987.5 meters and 33.68 min. Conclusion: the study showed that the diagnosis of the injury occurred predominantly outside the municipality of residence, although , people walked a fairly small distance to the health services, spending about half an hour for this displacement.

ABSTRACT Purpose: the knowledge concerning care of the voice on the part of professional and amateur singers in Chile is relevant for voice professionals and also for speech pathologists who work in disorder prevention and voice care. It is important to know if there are differences between both groups regarding the knowledge of voice care. Methods: the "Vocal Awareness Questionnaire for Singers'' was applied to a sample of 66 singers: 33 professional and 33 amateur singers. Three areas of knowledge were evaluated: anatomy and physiology of the larynx, vocal hygiene and voice pathologies. Results: there were no significant differences in the knowledge of voice care between professional and amateur singers both at a general level and in specific areas of knowledge. The topic of vocal hygiene obtained the highest percentage of correct answers in both groups, while the lowest percentage was in the area of voice pathologies. Conclusions: there were no differences in the level of knowledge on voice care between the professional and amateur singers included in this study. In both groups, the level of knowledge was from low to moderate. This could increase the incidence of vocal pathologies in both groups.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the facilitators and barriers to the use of the FM System in school-age children with hearing loss. Methods: a cross-sectional, observational and documentary study. Data from the children's charts and responses of their 30 teachers to a questionnaire were used in the descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The questions were related to the use of the FM System by the child and the preparation of the teachers to use the resource. Results: out of the 30 children whose teachers answered the survey, only nine used the FM System in the classroom. Factors such as age, parents' schooling and their participation in speech therapy, as well as the teacher's knowledge about the FM System and their experience with hard of hearing children were shown to be facilitators for the use of the device as well as the consistent use of the hearing devices (hearing aids and/or cochlear implant). Conclusion: the main facilitator for the use of the FM System was the teacher's knowledge about it. Considering the importance of the use of this resource for the mainstream education of children with hearing loss, a multi-centric research is desirable for the determination of protocols to follow the adaptation and training of the school community.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed at evaluating the agronomic performance of Intacta RR2 soybean submitted to the application of glyphosate doses in post-emergence. For this, two experiments were conducted in two locations (Palotina and Marechal Cândido Rondon - Paraná state). Applications were carried out with increasing rates of glyphosate (0, 720, 1,440, 2,160, 2,880, 3,600, 4,320 g a.e. ha-1), constituting seven treatments with an experimental design in randomized blocks with four replications, totaling 28 plots for each location. The cultivar used for both experiments was Monsoy 6210 Intacta RR2 IPROTM. The analyzed variables were phytotoxicity at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 DAA, A-B and total chlorophyll index, final height, number of pods, 100-seed weight, and yield. A regression analysis was used. There was a positive behavior of the linear regression for phytotoxicity and a negative one for final height, number of pods, A-B and total chlorophyll index, and yield in the city of Palotina. In Marechal Cândido Rondon, there were adjustments of the positive linear regressions for phytotoxicity, and negative linear regressions for chlorophyll index, final height, number of pods and yield. Results show that the glyphosate increase from the dose 1,440 g a.e. ha-1 in the studied cultivar damaged the agronomic performance of the culture.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT: Velvetleaf, an annual broadleaf weed, is a common and troublesome weed of cropping systems worldwide. Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to determine the effects of environmental factors on germination and emergence of velvetleaf. Seeds germinated over a range of constant temperatures from 10 to 40 oC regardless of light conditions, but no germination occurred at temperature below 5 oC and beyond 50 oC. Seeds germinated at alternating temperature regimes of 15/5 to 40/30 oC, with maximum germination (>90%) at alternating temperatures of 40/30 oC. Germination was sensitive to water stress, and only 0.4% of the seeds germinated at the osmotic potential of -0.4 MPa. There was no germination at ? 0.6 MPa. Moreover, germination was reduced by saline and alkaline stresses and no germination occurred at ³ 150 mM NaCl or ³ 200 mM NaHCO3 concentrations. However, pH values from 5 to 9 had no effect on seed germination. Seedling emergence was significantly affected by burial depth and maximum emergence (78.1-85.6%) occurred at the 1-4 cm depth. The results of this study have contributed to our understanding of the germination and emergence of velvetleaf and should enhance our ability to improve control strategies in cropping systems in central China.

Authors: Saveleva Nataliya Nikolaevna
Published: October 2018

Abstract The higher education in Russia is now divided into two stages: Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Regretfully, the educational process of baccalaureate students has revealed unsatisfactory preparation of young specialists, who have to undergo further training and adaptation to a high-tech industry. The lack of professional competencies of graduating students is rather disappointing for employers. Therefore, it becomes vital to improve the educational process and implement significant changes to the methodological system of education. It is necessary to encompass information technologies. This study is devoted to the educational program for mechanical engineers, which has been developed according to the main employers requirements. The effectiveness of this training approach was proved during the research experiment. It proved the hypothesis that the improved model of student training: leads to a more active and effective studying process, incorporates an individual approach to each student, and contributes to a more efficient development of professional competencies.

Authors: Sousa António Carlos Corte-Real de , Oliveira Carlos Alberto Bragança de , Borges José Luís Cabral Moura
Published: October 2018

Resumo O abandono escolar é um problema complexo que afeta a maioria dos programas de graduação pós-secundária, em todo o mundo. O curso de engenharia industrial do Instituto ISVOUGA, localizado em Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal, não é exceção. Este estudo usou um conjunto de dados contendo informações gerais dos estudantes e suas notas para as unidades curriculares já avaliadas. A partir deste conjunto de dados, foram selecionados dezessete preditores potenciais: cinco intrínsecos (gênero, estado civil, situação profissional, idade e regime de dedicação aos estudos – integral ou parcial) e doze extrínsecos (as notas em todas as doze unidades curriculares ministradas durante os dois primeiros semestres do curso). O objetivo principal desta investigação foi prever a probabilidade de um estudante abandonar o curso com base nos referidos preditores. Foi usada uma regressão logística binária para classificar os estudantes como tendo uma probabilidade alta ou baixa de não se reinscreverem no curso. Para validar se a metodologia utilizada é apropriada para o estudo em causa, a precisão obtida com o modelo de regressão logística foi comparada, por via de uma validação cruzada com cinco partições, com a precisão obtida pela utilização de três métodos muito utilizados em data mining: One R, K Nearest Neighbors e Naive Bayes. O modelo de regressão logística identificou quatro variáveis significativas na previsão do abandono escolar (as classificações nas unidades curriculares de ciência dos materiais, eletricidade, cálculo 1 e química). Os dois preditores mais influentes do abandono dos estudantes são não conseguir aprovação nas unidades curriculares menos exigentes: ciência dos materiais e eletricidade. Ao contrário do que seria de supor antes desta investigação, descobrimos que a não aprovação em unidades curriculares mais exigentes, como física ou estatística, não tem influência significativa no abandono escolar.

Published: October 2018

The article deals with the problem of the discrepancy between the quality of the external residential environment of the local level and the current needs of the townspeople and the problem of formalizing the approach to the transformation of public spaces of the residential environment. The search for solutions is proposed to be based on individual features of the elements of the residential environment of the city and the specifi cs of local public spaces in them. An important factor in choosing measures for the transformation of local public spaces (LPS) is the study of the historical background and degree of «centrality » of the territories. The evolution of residential quarters from the position of public spaces formed in them is considered. The typology of residential cells and public spaces in the process of formation and at the present stage is revealed. The types of planning structure of residential elements of the urban environment in Samara are analyzed in chronological order from the time of the fi rst regular city plan to the present.
