title: The Influence of Seasonal Temperature Variation on Blood Pressure Behavior

description: Abstract Background: Hypertension in Brazil affects 32.5% of the population, accounting for 50% of deaths due to cardiovascular disease. The correct measurement and interpretation of blood pressure are essential for attaining an adequate disease diagnosis and management. Objective: To verify the correlation between the seasonal temperature variation during 2016 and blood pressure variation in 902 patients of a private Cardiology Service in the city of Porto Alegre/RS. Method: A total of 902 ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) results were analyzed in 2016. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was used to correlate blood pressure levels with the values of temperature and relative air humidity; the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were adopted for significance values, assuming an alpha error &lt; 0.05 and a 95% confidence interval. The Analysis of Variance compared the 902 ABPM results with the continuous variables obtained for this study. Results: No statistically significant differences were found when the blood pressure values obtained from the 902 ABPM results were correlated with the minimum, mean and maximum values of temperature and relative air humidity, and also when each of the continuous variables obtained for this study were compared with these same pressure measurements. Conclusion: Despite the great variation in temperature and relative air humidity throughout the year in the region, there was no significant influence on the systemic arterial pressure in the study population. New comparative studies in the same population with different thermal variations may provide further clarification on this subject.

title: CO2 emissions and mitigation policies for urban road transportation: Sao Paulo versus Shanghai

description: Abstract This paper compares the energy consumption, CO2 emissions and public policies of two mega-cities, Sao Paulo (SP) and Shanghai (SH), in order to identify their GHG emissions mitigation policies. Both cities have experienced rapid growth of the automotive sectors resulting in sizable pollution and CO2 emission challenges. SP has successfully implemented the ethanol and encouraged the growth of the fleet of light-duty vehicles. SH has coal-based power generation and restricted the ownership of the vehicles in an attempt to reduce GHG emissions, invested in public transportation and electric mobility. Tabular analysis of secondary data was adopted in this study, revealing also that SP has considerably expanded individual transportation. Despite investments in ethanol, the city could not contain the increase in CO2 emissions from road transportation. SH invested in public transportation and inhibited individual transportation, but also failed to contain CO2 emissions. Mitigation policies and measures taken were not sufficient to prevent growth of CO2 emissions in both cities. To reduce CO2 emissions in transportation, SP and SH should focus on public policies to encourage public and clean transportation and limit the burning of fossil fuels.

title: Between School and University: dinosaurs and little notebooks towards an embodied dramaturgy

description: Abstract: This six-hand written paper insists on the non-dichotomy between body and mind, action and thought, objectivity and subjectivity, in order to reach the fertile adult-child relationships within fictionality. It supports the practice of theater teaching both at the university and at school, in the key of an embodied dramaturgy: a writing mode and usage of the dramaturgical text in which corporeality is central. Presenting more questions than answering them, it searches for a dramaturgical work that narrates, dialogues, and proposes performativity and changes in the worlds-of-life of teachers in Undergraduate Theater Teachers Education as well as in the worlds-of-life of their prospective students, Brazilian children and teenagers.

title: Recommendation Systems, Information Architecture, and Findability

description: Abstract The present study discusses briefly the concepts of Information Architecture, Information Findability, and Recommendation Systems. It aims to demonstrate how the use of Recommendation Systems in Information Architecture of digital environments can help Information systems by providing users with relevant information enabling information discovery and findability. A literature review was conducted, allowing the contextualization of the terms used in this study. The Amazon.com website was analyzed to evaluate its Recommendation Systems and understand how they can improve Information Findability in digital information environments. It was concluded that the amount of available information on the World Wide Web today hinders the Findability of Information provided by users making it difficult for systems to provide the right information at the right time. Therefore, the use of Recommendation Systems in Information Architecture projects is considered an effective approach to information systems since it facilitates the appropriation of information by users.

title: Communication students in social media: Comparative study among Brazil, Colombia and Spain

description: Abstract Research on social media has generated important data and reflections on the conception and the type of use young users make of the digital online platforms. However, studies that analyze young people from a greater profile segmentation and specification are required. This article presents the results of a research carried out in Brazil, Colombia and Spain, with a sample composed exclusively of university students from the field of communication. The study focuses on analyzing how students (and future communicators) value and use social media and how important these tools are for their training and professional future. A hybrid methodology based on a matrix survey with quantitative and open questions was used. It may be concluded that communication students value social media positively and conceive them as a consolidated and long-lasting phenomenon, as well as a useful mean to obtain information or contact professionals. Nonetheless, it was observed that the students are concerned about the loss of recognition and credibility of journalists in social media and, more specifically, of politicians and government sources.

title: GENETIC DIVERSITY AMONG SWEET POTATO CROPS CULTIVATED BY TRADITIONAL FARMERS

description: ABSTRACT The genetic variability within the crop species Ipomoea batatas is broad, hence, in order to support future breeding programs it is of the utmost importance that germplasm banks be created, conserved, and characterized. Therefore, the objective of this work was to rescue and evaluate the genetic divergence in sweet potato accessions collected in traditional communities of Vale do Ribeira Paulista. Sweet potato samples were collected from quilombos, indigenous villages, caiçaras communities, and small farms. The study was conducted between February 2013 and August 2014 in a randomized block design with three replications. Genetic material included 95 collected accessions and two commercial cultivars. Morphological characteristics of the accessions were evaluated and distances in the genetic distance matrix were estimated by means of multi-category variables, the data being subsequently clustered by the Tocher method. Analysis of the relative contribution of each characteristic and phenotypic correlation of descriptors was also performed. Results evidenced wide genetic diversity among the sweet potato accessions collected in Vale do Ribeira, which were not grouped according to the collection point. The descriptors that contributed more than 60% of genetic diversity included: leaf size, general leaf profile, immature leaf color, petiole pigmentation, predominant branch color, branch secondary color, stem length, cortical thickness, predominant periderm color, and periderm color intensity. Correlations between morphological descriptors was observed in 22.26% of the paired traits.

title: The digital slow journalism of Jot Down and Gatopardo

description: Abstract To renew journalism without destroying tradition: this the goal of the article. It will analyze the main constituent elements of narrative journalism in the digital era using the models incorporated by the magazines Jot Down and Gatopardo. Challenged by the immediacy of the digital world, narrative journalism seems/appears to break the digital rules. Media working on this kind of journalism place their bets on a slow method, based on traditional, tried-and-tested techniques, typified by authors such as Tom Wolfe and other professionals of narrative journalism. The article will study contents, formats, and techniques of news reporting that not only retain the essence of support papers, but also enjoy a consolidated audience in the digital world. It will be necessary to acquire a deep understanding of the situation in general, and the role of journalists in particular, in this landscape. This research is, above all, interested in their routines, processes and ways of working. The methodology used to examine this model is based on in-depth interviews, content analysis, non-participant observation and literature review. With all this in mind, and taking into account the current state of the media and the profession of journalism, the main conclusions show that this hybridization between innovation and tradition could be a successful formula, not just for survival but also as a way forward.

title: PRODUCTION, DECOMPOSITION AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BANANA LITTERFALL

description: ABSTRACT The characterization of litterfall in forest and agroforest systems is important to better understand the cycling of nutrients, however, few studies on litterfall of fruit trees, such as banana, are found. Therefore, the objective of this work was assess the production and decomposition and chemically characterize the litterfall of banana genotypes cropped in a dystrophic typical Red-Yellow Latossol, with weak A horizon, medium texture in a hypo-xerophytic Caatinga in the Southwest of Bahia, Brazil. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with twelve treatments (genotypes) and five replications. The genotypes Preciosa, Pacovan-Ken and Maravilha presented the greatest dry weight. The genotype Fhia18 showed the longest half-life of litterfall decomposition. The banana genotypes Preciosa, Maravilha and Pacovan-Ken produce the greatest contents of litterfall, and their chemical characterization shows the descending order Ca&gt;N&gt;Mg&gt;K&gt;S&gt;P for macronutrients and Fe&gt;Mn&gt;B&gt;Zn&gt;Cu for micronutrients. The banana genotypes PV-79-34, Garantida, Pacovan, JV-42-135, Prata-Anã, Pacovan-Ken, Preciosa and Maravilha present the lowest number of days for decomposition of the litterfall accumulated.

title: Food insecurity related to area of residence in municipality of the Brazilian semiarid

description: This study aimed to investigate the situation of food insecurity (FI) related to the area of residence of children under five years old in Brazilian county Semi-arid. The design was cross-sectional population-based. Demographic data and FI situation were analyzed from the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA), involving random children selection who attended the National Vaccination Campaign in 2010. We performed association between residence area and child FI status through χ2test, calculating the odds ratio (OR) and its confidence interval of 95% (95%CI), setting p&lt;0.05. The study involved a sample of 370 children. We found that living in rural areas doubles the chance of FI (OR=2.2; 95%CI 1.32-3.65). However, when more FI severe cases were investigated, the rural households had the lowest percentages for severe FI (4.3%) compared to urban (7.9%), p=0.002. Thus, it is assumed that rural households find forms of social support for the more serious consequences of FI, using resources that are unlikely in urban areas, such as subsistence farming and assistance solidarity.
