title: Using multiple random walk simulation in short-term grade models

description: Abstract Geostatistical simulation comprises a variety of techniques which can help on the decision-making process for uncertainties. They allow the uncertainty assessment of function responses (which depend on the simulated inputs) commonly through a non-linear relationship (net present value, interest tax return, geometallurgical ore recovery...). However, one of their limitations is that running the simulation can take considerable processing time to be executed in large deposits or large grids. Herein is presented an attempt to solve this problem in short-term modeling cases, via the use of Multiple Random Walk Simulation. This algorithm combines kriging with the simulation of independent random walks in order to generate simulated scenarios much faster than via traditional simulation algorithms. A case study is presented to illustrate the application of the method in an iron mine. The Multiple Random Walk Simulation models were properly built, respecting the reproduction of both histogram and variograms. Also, the speed-up was compared with standard methods of geostatistical simulation and there was a considerable speed gain with Multiple Random Walk Simulation (3.39 to 5.65 times faster than the others).

title: The Use of the 'Job to Be Done' methodology to identify value co-creation opportunities in the context of the Service Dominant Logic

description: ABSTRACT Organizations that operate in B2B contexts adopt value-creation strategies aimed at customer loyalty. Based on the concepts of the Service Dominant Logic (SDL), the study proposes the use of the Job to Be Done (JTBD) technique as a method to support the implementation of SDL concepts, applying the Outcome Driven Innovation (ODI) approach. Results of a survey carried out with 450 customers of a chemical company pointed out that the jobs revealed by the customers, once solved, actually result in better performance, thus contributing to confirm the adequacy of the technique for the purpose of identifying and prioritizing customers with greater potential for co-creation. The study also evaluates the variable 'professional management' as a moderator of this relationship and confirms that the solution of the jobs considered relevant by the customers, in a context of professional management, enhances co-created value.

title: Microbiota indigenous milk, mesophilic lipolytic and proteolytic colonial cheese matured, produced at different times of the year

description: SUMMARY Cheese is the oldest form of preserving milk nutrients having nutritional, economic and cultural importance. The objective of this study was to identify the best time of the year for production, and period, in months, for maturation of traditional colonial cheese, through analysis of water activity, weight loss and counts of lactic acid, mesophilic microorganisms—proteolytic and lipolytic. Records of temperature and relative humidity (RH) were maintained. A completely randomized experimental design was used in a double factorial scheme, considering production periods and maturation times. For all production periods evaluated, there was a significant reduction in the periods for water activity values. The counts of lactic acid bacteria ranged from 104 to 109 CFU/g. There was also stability in the number of colonies for lipolytic mesophilic microorganisms, until the third month of maturation. Low counts of proteolytic mesophiles were observed for the samples produced in May and June (5.70 and 5.53 log), respectively. The production period for the months of May and June corresponding to RH of 80% and average temperatures of 15°C were the most effective for production. Due to the presence of Listeria, it is recommended to respect the minimum time of 60 days of maturation for commercialization.

title: Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Caryocar brasiliense Camb. (Caryocaraceae) and comparative analysis brings new insights into the plastome evolution of Malpighiales

description: Abstract Caryocar brasiliense (Caryocaraceae) is a Neotropical tree species widely distributed in Brazilian Savannas. This species is very popular in central Brazil mainly by the use of its fruits in the local cuisine, and indeed it is one of the candidates, among Brazilian native plants, for fast track incorporation into cropping systems. Here we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of C. brasiliense and used the data to access its genomic resources using high-throughput sequencing. The chloroplast exhibits a genome length of 165,793 bp and the typical angiosperm quadripartite structure with two copies of an inverted repeat sequence (IRa and IRb) of 34,902 bp each, separating a small single copy (SSC) region of 11,852 bp and a large single copy (LSC) region of 84,137 bp. The annotation analysis identified 136 genes being 87 protein-coding, eight rRNA and 37 tRNA genes. We identified 49 repetitive DNA elements and 85 microsatellites. A bayesian phylogenetic analysis helped to understand previously unresolved relationships in Malpighiales, placing Caryocaraceae as a separated group in the order, with high supported nodes. This study synthetizes valuable information for further studies allowing a better understanding of evolutionary patterns in the group and providing resources for future breeding programs.

title: Performance of bioretention experimental devices: contrasting laboratory and field scales through controlled experiments

description: ABSTRACT Studying the performance of LID devices on a laboratory scale has the advantage of flexible layouts, so that more factors can be tested. However, they do not always correspond to what happens on a real scale of application. This paper focuses on a comparative analysis between two bioretention experimental devices considering field and laboratory scales. Based on this comparison, our understanding can be enhanced to extrapolate the results. Flow rate and duration were used as the main equivalence parameters. However, these parameters were insufficient to ensure similarity in the results. We proposed to include control volume, an application rate and an equivalent net depth as new parameters. Further research should test the variation of these parameters.

title: Relationship between dentition, anthropometric measurements, and metabolic syndrome in the elderly

description: Abstract Introduction Tooth loss is a health disorder of the elderly population that may lead to masticatory deficiency and nutritional risks, inducing the biochemical changes of metabolic syndrome (MS). Objective To verify the relationship among number of teeth, anthropometric measurements, and MS in a group of elderly people. Material and method The study was developed in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil, and it was divided into three phases. The first phase collected information from the database of all project participants and the second one collected sociodemographic, anthropometric, and biochemical data. The third phase was divided into two other phases: first, oral health interviews were applied to the elderly (281 patients evaluated by telephone and 23 visited at home) and second, 45 patients were randomly selected and invited to validate the data obtained by telephone with oral clinical examinations performed by a trained dental surgeon. The sample consisted of 304 individuals. The data collected were tabulated and analyzed using statistical tests. Result Elderly women with severe tooth loss present a significantly higher risk of developing MS. Thus, the maintenance of natural teeth in the elderly is a protective factor for the syndrome. Conclusion The findings support the hypothesis that the oral health of individuals, expressed by the number of teeth, may compromise and increase the risk of MS in the elderly.

title: Living will: information verification and sharing in a Portuguese hospital

description: Abstract The Living Will constitutes, since 2012, a legally protected right in Portugal. This exploratory-descriptive study questioned physicians and nurses from a Portuguese hospital regarding the verification and sharing of information related to the Living Will. Most professionals (57%) have never verified the existence of a Living Will, although they consider this an important action (95%) and share this information when they have access to it (82%), considering that not sharing has important implications for care practice (86%). The results show that verifying the existence of a Living Will does not constitute a current practice in the studied hospital. Further research is necessary to identify the underlying motivations for such behavior and investigate the dimension of this reality in other health institutions, proposing measures to promote professional practice consistent with that established by law.

title: Simultaneity of health risk behaviors and associated factors in a population-based study

description: ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of simultaneous health-related behaviors and examine their association with sociodemographic and health conditions in the population aged 40 or older in a medium-sized city in southern Brazil.MethodsWe carried out a population-based study. The investigated risk behaviors were physical inactivity, irregular consumption of fruits and vegetables, smoking, and alcohol abuse. The dependent variables of the study were the sum of the exposure to risk behaviors and the possible two-by-two behavior combinations.ResultsAssociations were observed between all behaviors, except physical inactivity with alcohol abuse. In general, men presented a higher prevalence of three and four behaviors, as well as between the possible combinations of behaviors. The independent variables age, socioeconomic status, educational level, marital status, and perceived health were also associated with the investigated outcomes.ConclusionsWe suggest that policies and strategies to promote health focus broadly on behavior, and not be limited to specific actions for each isolated behavior.

title: INCOME INEQUALITY, PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME TRANSFERS IN CONTEMPORARY BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT The action of the State, through public job mobilization and transfers of income, constituted an important element to understand the inequality of income in Brazil. At the same time recent researches verify the end of the trajectory of the inequality reduction of income registered in the 2000s, we realized the rise of fiscal austerity policies which objectify to dehydrate the acting fields of the State. Mapping and analysis of public employment (Federal, State, and Municipality) and of the Direct Income Transfers (Rural Retirement, Benefit of Continuing Provision and Bolsa Família Program) help in the comprehension of the decisive actions of the State for the income generation and distribution.
