Published: October 2017

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a representação da figura do malandro em oposição à figura do trabalhador em sambas brasileiros durante as décadas de 1930 a 1940. Escolhemos este período histórico, pois é durante esses anos que vai se configurando uma identidade coletiva dessas figuras antagônicas, porém complementares, sobretudo durante a ascensão política de Getúlio Vargas no Brasil. Escolhemos esse estilo musical, pois ele está intimamente associado às classes trabalhadoras no Brasil durante este período. A metodologia da pesquisa é de origem qualitativa e se utiliza da análise documental expressa nas letras de sambas escritos durante o período exposto acima. Como conclusão, consideramos que a associação entre samba e capoeira permeou a construção estereotipada da figura do malandro durante o referido período.

Estimated Global Disease Burden From US Health Care Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Authors: Eckelman Matthew J. , Sherman Jodi D. 
Published: October 2017

Objectives. To quantify the increased disease burden caused by US health care sector life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 614 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents in 2013. Methods. We screened for health damage factors that linked GHG emissions to disease burdens. We selected 5 factors, based on appropriate temporal modeling scales, which reflect a range of possible GHG emissions scenarios. We applied these factors to health care sector emissions. Results. We projected that annual GHG emissions associated with health care in the United States would cause 123 000 to 381 000 disability-adjusted life-years in future health damages, with malnutrition being the largest damage category. Conclusions. Through their contribution to global climate change, GHG emissions will negatively affect public health because of an increased prevalence of extreme weather, flooding, vector-borne disease, and other effects. As the stewards of global health, it is important for health care professionals to recognize the magnitude of GHG emissions associated with health care itself, and the severity of associated health damages.

Published: October 2017

Objectives. To determine whether non-US citizens have a higher mortality risk of heat-related deaths than do US citizens. Methods. We used place of residence reported in mortality data from the National Vital Statistics System from 2005 to 2014 as a proxy for citizenship to examine differences in heat-related deaths between non-US and US citizens. Estimates from the US Census Bureau American Community Survey of self-reported citizenship status and place of birth provided the numbers for the study population. We calculated the standardized mortality ratio and relative risk for heat-related deaths between non-US and US citizens nationally. Results. Heat-related deaths accounted for 2.23% (n = 999) of deaths among non-US citizens and 0.02% (n = 4196) of deaths among US citizens. The age-adjusted standardized mortality ratio for non-US citizens compared with US citizens was 3.4 (95% confidence ratio [CI] = 3.2, 3.6). This risk was higher for Hispanic non-US citizens (risk ratio [RR] = 3.6; 95% CI = 3.2, 3.9) and non-US citizens aged 18 to 24 years (RR = 20.6; 95% CI = 16.5, 25.7). Conclusions. We found an increased mortality risk among non-US citizens compared with US citizens for heat-related deaths, especially those younger and of Hispanic ethnicity.

Published: October 2017

This study investigated the degree of humification of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during different periods of cattle manure composting using ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy (emission, synchronous scan, and excitation–emission matrix) and determined which method is more suitable for analysis of the humification degree of DOM. Two composting piles were prepared by mixing manure and corn straw. One pile (Pile A [PA]) contained inoculated exogenous composite agents at a ratio of 2% (v/v), and a pile without the addition of inoculants (PNA) served as the control treatment. The results showed that ultraviolet integrated absorption intensities in the range of 226 to 400 nm and 260 to 280 nm and specific ultraviolet absorbances at 254 and 280 nm of both PA and PNA gradually increased with composting time. Based on the fluorescence regional integration analysis and parallel factor analysis, the humic‐like substances became the main components of the DOM after composting. Our study demonstrated that the humification degree of DOM was enhanced during composting and that the inoculation composite agent was beneficial for the humification of DOM at the mesophilic and thermophilic phases of the composting process. Moreover, the results of correlation analysis and principal component analysis demonstrated that the fluorescence spectral parameters evaluated the humification degree of DOM during the whole cattle manure composting process better than the UV‐vis spectral parameters.Core Ideas
We assessed the humification degree of DOM during composting process using EEM‐PARAFAC‐FRI.
The fluorescence parameter evaluated humification of DOM better than the UV‐vis parameter.
Composite agent inoculation composting enhanced the humification degree of DOM.
We analyzed the UV‐vis absorbance and fluorescence properties of DOM.
Results confirm the correlation of spectral parameters of DOM based on HCA and PCA.
Observed and simulated climate and climate change in the lower Neretva river basin

Published: October 2017

Abstract
The lower Neretva river basin includes a fertile valley at the estuary into the Adriatic Sea, where intense agricultural production occurs, and the higher terrain where drinking water resources exist. To provide input for the further assessment of crop-yield production and hydrological risks, climate and climate change were analysed using the Opuzen station air temperature and total precipitation data for the 1961–2015 period. Both historical and future climates (2021–2050) were assessed based on simulations of three regional climate models (RCMs). The RCMs were forced by the observed concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from 1951 to 2000, and the IPCC A1B scenario of the GHG emissions was applied from 2001 onwards. The models were compared with the observations, and two bias adjustment methods were evaluated. The results generally showed a significant increase in the mean annual and seasonal temperature and a weak decreasing trend in annual and seasonal precipitation. Projections revealed a predominant increase in the mean temperature by the mid-21st century for all three RCMs (between 0.5 and 3.5 °C). The precipitation changed by between −60 and +60% throughout the year for the different models, although the changes generally were not statistically significant.

Abstract
The Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna river system carries the world's third-largest fresh water discharge and Brahmaputra alone carries about 67% of the total annual flow of Bangladesh. Climate change will be expected to alter the hydrological cycles and the flow regime of these basins. Assessment of the fresh water availability of the Brahmaputra Basin in the future under climate change condition is crucial for both society and the ecosystem. SWAT, a semi-distributed physically based hydrological model, has been applied to investigate hydrological response of the basin. However, it is a challenging task to calibrate and validate models over this ungauged and poor data basin. A model derived by using gridded rainfall data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite and temperature data from reanalysis product ERA-Interim provides acceptable calibration and validation. Using the SWAT-CUP with SUFI-2 algorithm, sensitivity analysis of model parameters was examined. A calibrated model was derived using new climate change projection data from the multi-model ensemble CMIP5 Project over the South Asia CORDEX domain. The uncertainty of predicting monsoon flow is less than that of pre-monsoon flow. Most of the regional climate models (RCMs) show an increasing tendency of the discharge of Brahmaputra River at Bahadurabad station during monsoon, when flood usually occurs in Bangladesh.

Published: October 2017

Abstract
In literature, the microbial diversity of hot spring waters has been the focus of extensive research, while there is a paucity of studies on thermal water distribution network of spa centres and, as yet, no studies have been carried out on the bacterial population of thermal muds. In this context, the aim of our study is to characterize the microbial community of sulphurous-bromine-iodine thermal water and mud within an Italian spa complex using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies. This is the first report of microbiome characterization along a water supply network from the spring to points of use within a spa. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis, our data highlight the presence of a typical microbial community, mainly composed of sulphur-cycling bacteria belonging to Desulfomonile, Thermodesulfovibrio, Geothermobacterium, Thermus, Thiofaba and Syntrophomonas genera. In addition, the characterization and evolution of the bacterial community in thermal muds during the maturation process is investigated for the first time. Interestingly, the microbiome of mature mud resulted dominated by bacteria capable of lipid biosynthesis, suggesting that these bacteria may play a role in the anti-rheumatic properties of thermal mud.

O texto procura discutir dois dos desafios que programas de Mestrado Profissional (MP) enfrentam atualmente, para constituir uma identidade funcional que os distinga dos mestrados acadêmicos e mantenham a qualidade acadêmica desejável.Partimos do pressuposto que os MP têm um compromisso com um impacto mais preciso em relação à educação básica, respondendo à sua realidade e demandas, e que sua proposição deve estar alinhada com os resultados de uma política voltada para a melhoria da qualidade do ensino. Assim, procura-se contribuir para o delineamento das necessidades e compromisso educacional que um MP deve atender. O primeiro desafio destes MP diz respeito à interpretação que têm feito das necessidades do contexto educacional para definir suas propostas. O segundo diz respeito às possibilidades de como formar o professor. Considerando os fundamentos consolidados da área de formação, é possível ultrapassar as disputasentre comunidades epistêmicas, propondo uma formação completa e complexa do profissional da educação.

A expansão dos cursos em Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) nos últimos anos tem trazido desafios significativos nessa área, seja na rede pública ou privada. Dentre eles está o estabelecimento de programas de pós-graduação que permitam formar docentes,gestores e pesquisadores voltados para a realidade da EPT, conhecendo seus limites e possibilidades. Mais ainda, trata-se também de criar perspectivas de leitura, reflexões e estudos nessa modalidade de ensino. A partir da experiência docente e em pesquisa em EPT dentro do Programa de Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Desenvolvimento da Educação Profissional, numa instituição pública paulista que atua na formação técnica e tecnológica desde 1969, os autores propõem neste artigo uma dessas possíveisperspectivas, considerando algumas trilhas básicas de investigação levantadas no contexto da arquitetura curricular de uma disciplina intitulada Fundamentos e Práticas da EPT.Parte-se da hipótese de que é necessário conhecer os fundamentos epistemológicos das relações entre educação e trabalho; problematizar o papel da EPT no atual contexto do desenvolvimento tecnocientífico, compreender as interfaces entre educação, sociedade etecnologia a partir dos estudos da historiografia da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, identificando as mudanças e permanências na sua fundamentação legal.

La dinámica de la PEA en la ZMCM: aplicación de un modelo dinámico no lineal
Authors: Zaragoza Badillo Jorge , Mansilla Corona Ricardo 
Published: October 2017

De la retroalimentación entre flujos migratorios de la población y oferta de empleo en la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México (ZMCM) resultó un patrón de crecimiento por etapas de la misma con sus respectivas modalidades migratorias, lo que nos ayudó a identificar a la zona como un sistema complejo. Asumiendo que la zona se encuentra en la tercera etapa de crecimiento urbano-urbano y urbano-suburbano, que le corresponde la modalidad migratoria intrametropolitana, y bajo el supuesto de que el principal factor de migración es la búsqueda de un empleo remunerado, se construyó un modelo matemático programado en computadora para modelar la dinámica de la población económicamente activa (PEA) en la ZMCM para los años 2000 y 2010, la cual depende de la tasa de crecimiento de la población económicamente activa ocupada (PEAO), de la tasa de crecimiento de la propia PEA, un saldo migratorio dinámico entre el centro (CDMX) y la periferia (zona conurbada) de la zona. El modelo sirvió para hacer análisis cualitativo del fenómeno, predicción en el corto plazo de la PEAO, la población económicamente activa desocupada (PEAD) y la tasa de desempleo, más algunas simulaciones. Se obtuvieron, gráficamente, los espacios de posibilidades de evolución del fenómeno modelado. Concluimos que el modelo ayuda a comprender mejor un fenómeno que es complicado y complejo y que podría ser usado como una guía para los que toman decisiones de política demográfica, política migratoria y de generación de empleos.

Vocalizing during gaps in anthropogenic noise is an uncommon trait for enhancing communication in songbirds
Authors: Proppe Darren S. , Finch Emily 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Mounting evidence suggests that anthropogenic noise negatively impacts many wildlife species, including songbirds. One mechanism by which noise affects songbirds may be through acoustic obstruction to their systems of vocal communication. However, many species increase the amplitude or pitch of their vocalizations, which may partially mitigate the impact of high noise levels. When the amplitude of anthropogenic noise varies over time, such as near a moderate-use highway, short gaps between noise events may also provide an important opportunity for communication. But, whether songbirds adjust vocalization rates rapidly to avoid overlap with noise is unknown for most species. We used acoustic playback to expose songbirds to simulated road noise during the dawn chorus in otherwise quiet habitats. We measured vocalization rates under ambient conditions and during quiet gaps embedded within playback of road noise to assess whether a community of songbirds, and nineteen individual species, vocalize more regularly during noise gaps. There were no significant differences in community-wide acoustic output. Species-specific analysis revealed that only four species altered their vocal rates during quiet gaps in noise, but that the direction of the effect varied by species. Point count results revealed that birds generally remained on site for the duration of the experiment, suggesting that abandonment of noisy locations was unlikely to confound our results. In sum, increasing vocal output during short gaps in noise occurred in only a handful of species, perhaps contributing to the limited number of species that are found within noisy habitats.
