title: Quality of Primary Care: assessment of the Family Health Teams

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the quality of Primary Care by Family Health Teams. Data from the Self-Assessment for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care and Basic Care Information System were used. It was analyzed the quality standard per urban/rural staff, professional composition and records of injuries/illnesses per team. Overall, 75 teams participated in this study, of which, 44% achieved satisfactory standard. It was observed that best classified teams have higher averages of doctors and dentists (p&lt;0.05) and that the lower register of people with injuries/illnesses did not represent a better quality of Primary Care. It was also noted that service evaluation from the team is important for health management.

title: EFFECTS OF SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF SOIL CHEMICAL PARAMETERS ON TIFTON 85 GRASS YIELD1

description: ABSTRACT Studies on spatial variability of soil attributes of tropical pastures gather information that can assist in decision making about managements of these soils. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the spatial variability of soil chemical attributes and their effects on grass yield of Tifton 85. The experiment was carried out in an area of 3.91 ha at the Feno Rio Farm of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, Seropédica, RJ, Brazil. Soils of the 0-0.20 and 0.20-0.40 m layers were sampled considering an irregular sampling mesh, making a total of 50 georeferenced points. The parameters evaluated were: the soil chemical attributes pH, Al+3, Ca+2, Mg+2, Na+, K+, P, H+Al, and total organic carbon (TOC); and the Tifton 85 dry matter yield (DMY). The results of these parameters were subjected to descriptive statistics, linear correlation, and geostatistics, and maps were developed for the analyses. Regions with grass yields different from the general mean were found in the area, which presented mean grass yield of 2248 kg ha-1. The soil chemical parameters Na+, Ca+2, TOC, and H+Al were significantly correlated with DMY, confirming that they are important and affect the Tifton 85 grass yield. The mapping of the Tifton 85 cycle is important for understanding the variability of DMY. The investigation of areas with different productive potentials should be followed by development of maps of soil chemical attributes to correlate and understand the ratios that may be involved with these variations.

title: The emergence of Resistance through Criticality: leisure and tourism in the Espinhaço Range Biosphere Reserve, Brazil

description: Abstract Following the initial success of a sustainable tourism programme, the town of Conceição do Mato Dentro, located within the UNESCO Espinhaço Range Biosphere Reserve, in Brazil, changed remarkably after a large iron ore mining project was launched in 2006. Among the changes was the replacement of tourism with mining as the municipality’s priority development policy. The town changed from a quiet and small rural town to a dusty and busy industrial site. Although the communities affected by the mine initially supported the mining project, this research identified emergent and growing dissatisfaction among them. A discourse analysis approach was employed to unveil the seeds of a resistance movement that has been emerging from the social practices to challenge the dominant modernization and neoliberal discourses of development represented by the mining project. It is argued that resistance can be traced back to both the advantages that the previous sustainable tourism programme brought and to the preservation of leisure sites that were previously used for socialization and amusement but are now either off-limits or have been destroyed. Such people are not seen here as ‘host communities’, but tourists. Tourism and leisure experiences performed by people affected by the mine generated a sense of community and solidarity, but its discontinuity had undermined the possibilities of criticism and resistance, as such values were misrepresented in the policy arenas that hosted the debates around the mining project. Despite its importance among community members, leisure has not been used to legitimize the resistance discourses against the mining project. Rather, the resistance speech focused on job creation and the expansion of wealth and income, thus weakening the possibilities of transforming the status quo.

title: Uses of the planning and self-evaluation in the working processes of Family Health teams in Primary Care

description: The PMAQ-AB analyzed access and quality of health primary care having axes structure, process and user satisfaction. The aim of this study was to characterize the use of planning and auto evaluation for improving the work process of the teams, identifying strengths and weaknesses. Sectional study was conducted with data collected by the instrument for external evaluation whose variables relate to planning, self-evaluation and institutional support. Teams plan and self-evaluate their actions with support from and access to data produced. However, these practices are very poorly integrated and should be improved as to better guide adjustments in the teams working process.

title: FROM TRANSLATION TO ORGANIZATION TO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS: AN ACADEMIC NO MAN’S LAND

description: Abstract Universities claim to represent a crucial component in the contemporary world of knowledge, which involves a given degree of selfcriticism and the redefinition of a few priorities. The recognition of new departments, such as Translation Studies (TS) is obviously part of this historical movement of self-criticism, and TS itself reflects similar processes in its own history, or rather prehistory. Although TS claims to have integrated Globalization and the new international world into its academic program, exactly how it will combine its initial self-definitions (built around translator training) with academic definitions (What is translation? How can past and present translation phenomena be accounted for? How do language policies, multilingualism, media discourse or communities, not to mention ranking, fit into all this?) is its challenge for the coming years. Without excluding topics from the initial moments of the new discipline (such as training or nation-state interaction), we propose to explore and exploit what can be learned from organization by making use of the contemporary business world (in this case the international car industry), which is a No Man’s Land within the coalescing traditions of the new discipline. And in this little-known world, fundamental new insights are waiting to be gathered.

title: Sella landmark variability and its effect on the Angles SNA and SNB: a comparative study

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To determine intra- and inter-observer precision in Sella (S), Nasion (N), point A and B identification. Additionally, to determine how it can interfere with angular measurements of SNA and SNB by orthodontists and dentomaxillofacial radiologists. Methods: Twenty digital lateral cephalometric radiographs were evaluated by five orthodontists and five dentomaxillofacial radiologists. Results: Differences in linear and angular measuremts were assessed. Intra- and inter-observer agreement was evaluated. Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility of the horizontal and vertical components of the S landmark identification (ICC: 0.75/0.90). Orthodontists tended to produce larger SNA (-0.18º), while SNB angle had a tendency to be smaller (0.55º). In general, SNA angle was smaller (DMFRs: -0.308º and orthodontists: -0.092º), and SNB presented with larger values (DMFR: 0.078º and orthodontists: -0.074º). Conclusion: Identification of the Sella landmark revealed a better agreement amongst dentomaxillofacial radiologists. Orthodontists, however, showed a larger variability in S identification and, consequently, the SNA and SNB angles drifted significantly.

title: Evidence of validity for Socially Skillful Responses Questionnaires - SSRQ-Teachers and SSRQ-Parents

description: Abstract There is a lack of free-of-charge validated instruments whereby parents and teachers may be respondents to assess child social skills. Social skills are known to prevent behavioral problems among preschool and school-aged children. This study fills in this gap, the objective of which is to assess the internal consistency and construct and discriminant validity of the Questionários de Respostas Socialmente Habilidosas [Socially Skillful Responses Questionnaire] - teachers’ version - SSRQ-Teachers and parents’ version - SSRQ-Parents. A total of 134 primary school and preschool teachers and 183 mothers/fathers/caregivers of 88 school-aged children and 95 preschoolers of both sexes participated in the study. In addition to the SSRQ teachers’ and parents’ versions, the participants completed an additional instrument: the teachers completed the Teacher Report Form - TRF and the parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The results obtained in the exploratory factor analysis and ROC curve analysis, along with alpha values, indicate good psychometric properties. Thus, the SSRQ-Teachers and SSRQ-Parents presented in this paper are appropriate for assessing both preschool and school-aged children.

title: PROBIOTIC POTENTIAL OF Bacillus cereus AGAINST Vibrio spp. IN POST-LARVAE SHRIMPS

description: ABSTRACT Bacillus spp. have been used against diseases caused by bacteria that affect cultured shrimp, providing beneficial effects on the host shrimps by altering their microbial community, and improving zootechnical indexes. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of a diet supplemented with Bacillus cereus-a bacterium with probiotic potential-on post-larvae Litopenaeus vannamei shrimps grown in laboratory. The experiment lasted for fifteen days and consisted of six treatments-control (T1), probiotic (T2), Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) (T3), probiotic and VP (T4), V. alginolyticus (VA) (T5), and probiotic and VA (T6). The survival rate, weight gain, colonization capacity of the probiotic bacteria, pathogen count, and histopathological lesions were evaluated. There was no significant difference (p=0.05) in survival between treatments. The groups with pathogens and without probiotics presented lower weight gain. The result of the Bacillus cereus count in the treatments T2, T4 and T6 were significantly different (p&lt;0.05), the probiotic bacteria were more aggressive in competing for space and nutrients when compared to V. parahaemolyticus than when compared to V. alginolyticus. Animals fed with the probiotic presented lower counts of these pathogens than those fed without the probiotic (p&lt;0.05). No histopathological lesions were found in the organs and tissues of the shrimps. Bacillus cereus showed a high colonizing capacity in post-larvae shrimps, causing a significant reduction of pathogens, probably by secreting antimicrobial substances and the competitive exclusion, which justifies their use as probiotic bacteria.

title: the Caatinga and desertification

description: AbstractHigh deforestation in the Caatinga Biome has been generating processes of desertification in several areas, directly altering the biota, the microclimate and the soils, being essential the development of research techniques able to incorporate information which identify the state of natural resources, pointing their relationships and some paths to be taken for an effective intervention which may generate the recovery and sustainable use of land in this environment. The MTLFC consists of a set of techniques used in Brazil for the first time to analyze areas subjected to desertification, presenting biogeographic, climatological, geomorphological and hydrological indicators. By applying the method in an area of the city of São Domingos do Cariri (PB), it has been identified a very low plant diversity (13 species and 489 individuals), dominance of a few species (5) and low abundance, with the largest number of individuals in tall shrub and shrub strata, caused by the excessive removal of vegetation, fires and continuous use by the goats. The Water Balance was negative so that it indicated that the vegetative activity depends on hidden precipitation. The soils have presented surface crust of an anthropic origin, making edaphic aridity even more pronounced, associated with low fertility levels, particularly potassium and organic matter.

title: Comprehension of informed consent in clinical research

description: Abstract The informed consent form (ICF) is a document which explicitly confirms the consent of a participant in a research project, and should contain all necessary information clarifying the study in which the subject intends to participate. This study evaluates the level of comprehension of an ICF signed by 146 volunteers using a self-administered instrument. The average age of the sample was 47.29 years, and there was a prevalence of women (67.2%), incomplete primary education (53.4%) and no private health care (93.2%). The mean score of correct answers of 146 respondents was 53.1%. There was no association between the percentage of correct answers and the variables of gender, age, education and time of response. There was a significant association between taking the ICF home and the percentage of correct answers. The average value of correct answers found was not acceptable and educational measures must be implemented, seeking an increase in comprehension and the safety of participants.
