Authors: Borges Renan Pires Ferreira , Canutto Rafael Felipe Carvalho , Gomes Kassita Alvarenga , Rodrigues Junior Carlos Alberto , Dias Fellipe Camargo Ferreira , Guedes Virgílio Ribeiro 
Published: April 2018

Introduction: Sickle cell disease is a generic term that encompasses a set of hematological disorders linked to structural changes in blood cells, leading to the production of an abnormal hemoglobin called HbS, the 'S' being derived from English sickle. The objective of this study was to discuss the profile of sickle cell anemia in quilombola communities by reviewing the existing literature in order to provide updated data to professionals dealing with this population. Development: The prevalence of HbS heterozygotes in Brazil is higher in the North and Northeast regions, between 6% and 10%, and considerably lower in the South and Southeast regions, with prevalence between 2% and 3%. In this study, it was found that 6.6% to 11.5% of the population of quilombolas in the state of Tocantins had abnormal hemoglobins. Conclusion: Few studies evaluate the prevalence of hemoglobinopathies in quilombola communities. Since quilombolas usually live in isolated communities of society, the chances of marriages between individuals with sickle cell trait are greater than in the general population, thus increasing the probability of being born to individuals affected by the disease.

RESUMO
Introdução: Doença falciforme é um termo genérico que engloba um conjunto de desordens hematológicas ligadas a alterações estruturais das células sanguíneas, levando à produção de uma hemoglobina anormal denominada HbS, sendo o ‘S’ derivado do inglês sickle. O objetivo deste estudo foi abordar o perfil da anemia falciforme nas comunidades quilombolas por meio de revisão da literatura existente, a fim de fornecer dados atualizados aos profissionais que lidam com essa população. Desenvolvimento: No Brasil, a prevalência de heterozigotos HbS é maior nas regiões do Norte e Nordeste, entre 6% e 10%, e consideravelmente menor nas regiões Sul e Sudeste, com uma prevalência entre 2% e 3%. Neste estudo, encontrou-se que 6,6% a 11,5% da população de quilombolas no estado do Tocantins apresentaram hemoglobinas anormais. Conclusão: Poucos estudos avaliam a prevalência de hemoglobinopatias em comunidades quilombolas. Visto que os quilombolas costumam viver em comunidades isoladas da sociedade, as chances de ocorrerem casamentos entre indivíduos com traço falciforme, tornam-se maiores que na população em geral, aumentando assim a probabilidade de nascerem indivíduos acometidos pela doença.

RESUMO
A tinea negra caracteriza-se como uma infecção fúngica rara à camada córnea, causada pelo fungo Phaeoannellomyces werneckii. É notória a semelhança entre casos dessa dermatofitose e do melanoma, e sua diferenciação é preconizada para evitar procedimentos invasivos. Tratando-se de uma doença rara e ainda menos incidente no estado, descreve-se uma paciente de 33 anos do sexo feminino, apresentando mácula plantar entre o terceiro e quarto pododáctilos direto, com hifas marrons claras entrecruzadas à dermatoscopia. Diagnóstico confirmado com exame micológico direto. O diagnóstico pode ser potencializado pelo uso do dermatoscópio, cujo acesso tem evoluído, mas é confirmado com exame micológico direto.

ABSTRACT
Chromoblastomycosis (CMB) is a polymorphic fungal disease that usually affects the lower limbs and manifests as verrucous nodules or plaques that may ulcerate. American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL) is an infectious parasitic disease caused by digenetic protozoa of the genus Leishmania sp. which affects the skin and/or mucous membranes of man and various species of wild and domestic animals. Both are part of the World Health Organization (WHO) neglected tropical diseases portfolio, mostly affecting economically vulnerable populations without adequate sanitation and in close contact with infectious vectors. We present the report of a 59-year-old male patient, referred to the Hospital Geral Público de Palmas (HGPP) in December 2017, carrying a positive result from a direct parasitological detection test for Leishmania sp., in addition to multiple previously biopsied lesions caused by CMB. It was observed that the patient had an important improvement of the CMB lesions with the use of amphotericin B in combination with itraconazole, thus demonstrating the role that the former can play in the therapy of this fungal disease.
Keywords: Chromoblastomycosis; American Tegumentary leishmaniasis; Amphotericin B.
RESUMO
A cromoblastomicose (CBM) é uma doença fúngica polimórfica, que acomete normalmente os membros inferiores e que se manifesta como nódulos ou placas verrucosas que podem ulcerar. A leishmaniose tegumentar (LT) é uma doença infectoparasitária causada por protozoários digenéticos do gênero Leishmania sp. que acomete a pele e/ou mucosas do homem e de várias espécies de animais silvestres e domésticos. Ambas fazem parte do portfólio de doenças negligenciadas da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), afetando em sua maioria pessoas economicamente vulneráveis, sem saneamento adequado e em contato próximo com vetores infecciosos. Apresentamos neste trabalho o relato de um paciente, masculino, 59 anos, encaminhado ao Hospital Geral Público de Palmas (HGPP) em dezembro de 2017, portando exame parasitológico direto positivo para Leishmania sp., além de múltiplas lesões causadas por CBM previamente biopsiadas. Foi observado que o paciente teve importante melhora das lesões de CBM com uso da anfotericina B em associação ao itraconazol, demonstrando o papel que essa droga pode exercer na terapêutica desta doença fúngica.

AbstractThis paper assesses the potential of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) System 4 forecasts and investigates the post-processing precipitation to enhance the skill of streamflow forecasts. The investigation is based on hydrological modelling and is conducted through the case study of the Upper Hanjiang River Basin (UHRB). A semi-distributed hydrological model, TsingHua Representative Elementary Watershed (THREW), is implemented to simulate the rainfall–runoff processes, with the help of hydrological ensemble prediction system (HEPS) approach. A post-processing method, quantile mapping method, is applied to bias correct the raw precipitation forecasts. Then we evaluate the performance of raw and post-processed streamflow forecasts for the four hydrological stations along the mainstream of Hanjiang River from 2001 to 2008. The results show that the performance of the streamflow forecasts is greatly enhanced with post-processing precipitation forecasts, especially in pre-dry season (November and December), thus providing useful information for water supply management of the central route of South to North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP). The raw streamflow forecasts tend to overpredict and present similarly to forecast accuracy with the extended streamflow prediction (ESP) approach. Streamflow forecast skill is considerably improved when applying post-processing method to bias correct the ECMWF System 4 precipitation forecasts.
Studies on desorption and regeneration of natural pumice for iron removal from aqueous solution
Authors: Indah S. , Helard D. , Binuwara A. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
To make the adsorption process more economic and environmental friendly, it is necessary to study desorption and reutilization of the adsorbents. In the present study, the effectiveness of natural pumice in removal of iron from aqueous solution was investigated in several sorption-desorption cycles. The desorption characteristics of previously adsorbed iron ions on natural pumice were tested by various desorbing agents such as HCl, NaOH and aquadest. Among them, HCl showed the highest desorption efficiency (37.89%) with 0.1 M of concentration and 60 min of contact time. The removal efficiency of iron ions in reused natural pumice could be maintained up to 90% in the third cycle of adsorption. The results indicate that although complete desorption was not achieved, natural pumice from Sungai Pasak, West Sumatra, Indonesia, can be sufficiently reused up to three cycles of adsorption-desorption.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
The present study evaluated the cultivation of microalgae in a photobioreactor using effluents from the meat-processing industry, which had been previously treated at the primary and secondary levels. Scenedesmus sp. was the dominant genus in the phytoplankton community in both of the evaluated effluents. The different nutritional conditions affected the production of biomass, which reached 1,160 mg/L of volatile suspended solids (VSS) and 371 mg/L of VSS with cultivation in the primary (PE) and secondary effluents (SE), respectively. In both effluents, great removal efficiencies close to quantification limits were observed for ammoniacal nitrogen and soluble phosphorus. Regarding the accumulation of lipids, there were no considerable differences between the effluents. The highest lipid productivity that was observed in the PE, which reached 3.7 g/m²·d, was attributed to its larger production of biomass as a consequence of its better nutritional condition in relation to the SE.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To clarify the relationship between tooth length and three-dimensional mandibular morphology in a healthy Japanese population.

Materials and Methods:
This study included 181 Japanese adults: 66 men and 115 women. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were acquired with a dentofacial cone-beam x-ray CT scanner. Tooth length was measured with open-source OsiriX medical image processing software. Crown height and root length were measured in the maxillary and mandibular central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, first premolars, second premolars, first molars, and second molars. Based on these measurements, principal component (PC) analysis was performed. The following measurements were used to assess three-dimensional mandibular morphology: CD-GO, GO-GN, RCD-LCD, RGO-LGO, RCP-LCP, and the gonial angle. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the associations between three-dimensional mandibular morphology and the patterns of crown and root lengths using the mandibular measurements as explanatory variables and each PC as the dependent variable.

Results:
CD-GO was positively associated with PC1, which represented overall tooth length. RGO-LGO was positively associated with PC2, whereas GO-GN, RCP-LCP, and gonial angle were negatively associated with PC2, which was the axis denoting relatively longer root (+) vs higher crown (−). Being female was associated with PC3, which was the axis denoting relatively longer posterior tooth (+) vs anterior tooth (−).

Conclusions:
The present clinical study effectively used CBCT images and PC analysis to reveal significant correlations between tooth length and mandibular morphology in a modern human population, confirming in part the statement that “large teeth necessitate large jaws.”

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To assess the scientific evidence regarding the influence of reminder therapy on plaque index, gingival index, and white spots in patients subjected to orthodontic treatment.

Materials and Methods:
Randomized clinical trials were searched in the electronic databases LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, LIVIVO, and Cochrane Library. The databases OpenThesis and OpenGrey were used to capture the “gray literature,” preventing selection and publication biases. The risk of bias was assessed by the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Randomized Controlled Trials tool. The software Review Manager was used for the meta-analysis. The heterogeneity among studies was assessed through the I2 statistic. A summary of the overall strength of evidence available was assessed using the Grades of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation tool.

Results:
A total of 332 records were found, from which only 7 articles met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to analysis. Reminder therapy showed improved scores for the plaque index (standardized mean difference = −1.22; 95% confidence interval = −2.03 to −0.42; P = .003) and the gingival index (standardized mean difference = 1.49; 95% confidence interval = −2.61 to 0.37; P = .009). Moreover, there was lower occurrence of white spots (relative risk = 0.53; 95% confidence interval = 0.38 to 0.74; P &lt; .001) when reminder therapy was implemented.

Conclusions:
According to the existing high-quality evidence, reminder therapy is a valuable strategy and may contribute to the reduction of plaque and gingival indices as well as to the lower occurrence of white spots in patients subjected to orthodontic treatment.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
This paper aims to examine whether there is a direct relationship between spatial configuration and users’ behaviors in co-working spaces, and if so, how this environment and behavior relationship impacts their working process. The study employed ethnographic qualitative strategy as the general method of inquiry and used visual documentation, direct observations, and behavioral mapping as methods of data collection in two case studies. Analysis of the findings demonstrates that design elements such as barriers and fields are powerful tools for influencing and guiding users’ behavior within coworking spaces. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between design and behavioral patterns in co-working spaces. The research insights in this study may inform architects, policymakers and facility managers in making conscious decisions on the design of co-working spaces that are more meaningful to the users.

O capitalismo agroindustrial e as frentes de luta e resistência do campesinato brasileiro: o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA)
Authors: Ghizelini André Michelato 
Published: April 2018

O capitalismo agroindustrial tem produzido uma realidade do campo que tem estabelecido condições de vida para o campesinato brasileiro de precarização e exploração pela determinação do que produzir, em que condições produzir, a quantidade e qualidade da produção, para quem comercializar e a que preço vender. No entanto, em fins de 2003, surge o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) que permitiu ao campesinato brasileiro visualizar uma outra realidade. Sem conseguir reverter ou estancar o processo de avanço do capitalismo agroindustrial, o PAA tem proporcionado ao campesinato estabelecer novas estratégias de resistência e luta com vistas a se colocarem enquanto atores do desenvolvimento brasileiro. Desta forma, neste artigo, discuto e apresentado dados que demonstram a importância do PAA para o reestabelecimento do modo de vida do campesinato, e em que medida o programa conseguiu estabelecer novas pautas e espaços de resistência para a condição camponesa no Brasil. Palavras-Chave: Campesinato, Sociologia Rural, Agricultura Familiar, PAA. Agroindustrial capitalism has established living conditions for the Brazilian peasantry based on precariousness and exploitation by determining what to produce, in what conditions to produce, the quantity and quality of production, to whom to market and at what price to sell. However, at the end of 2003, the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) emerged, which allowed the Brazilian peasantry to visualize a different social reality. Without being able to reverse or halt the process of advancement of agroindustrial capitalism, the PAA has provided the peasantry with new strategies of resistance and struggle in order to make them actors of the Brazilian development. Thus, in this article, I discuss and present data that demonstrate the importance of the PAA for the reestablishing of the ways of life of the peasantry, and to what extent the program was able to establish new guidelines and spaces of resistance for the peasant condition in Brazil. Keywords: Peasantry, rural sociology, family agriculture, PAA.
