title: Local communities, health and the sustainable development goals: the case of Ribeirão das Neves, Brazil

description: Abstract Health is part of the Sustainable Development Agenda adopted by the United Nations and local communities have an important role in the definition of their own development needs and in the discussion of the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals. A field survey using a validated questionnaire was applied to 336 extremely poor households in a Brazilian municipality. The survey was a cross-sectional and observational study and included interviews with healthcare professionals and social workers. Drug/alcohol abuse was pointed as the major problem to obtain improvements in quality of life. The prevalence of disability was 14%. A reduction in rates of deaths caused by crimes and prevention of disabilities should be included as health targets under the SDGs.

title: The impact of an ethics committee on animal protection

description: Abstract The creation of animal ethics committees in teaching and research establishes a new ethics in relations with non-human animals. The present article carried out a statistical study of data from 390 research protocols evaluated over eight years by a commission at one Brazilian university, to determine if its actions brought about a reduction in suffering and a proportional decrease in the practice of euthanasia. A statistical significance study was carried out using an extension of the Wilcoxon test, seeking to verify a long-term trend of protection procedures, such as lower predicted levels of stress and pain in protocols, more frequent use of anesthesia and sedatives and a reduction in euthanasia. The results were statistically significant for all three of these items, suggesting a concrete effect of animal protection. The method used is proposed as a form of evaluating the use of these procedures by commissions.

title: RETURN MIGRATION IN BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT The various forms of migration and mobility are factors that have historically played an important role in the socioeconomic development of a country. Among the different types of migration is the focus of this study: return migration, one of the main events in Brazilian population dynamics in recent decades. Thus, the main purpose of this article is to discuss some relevant theoretical elements for studies on return migration and second, to analyze the direct effect of this type of migration by federated units (FUs) in Brazil over the five-year periods 1986/1991, 1995/2000 and 2005/2010. In this way, it is possible to assess the return of natives to FUs, as well as short-term migration (full return migration). To this end, data was taken from the sample of the Demographic Censuses in 1991, 2000 and 2010 and the digital mesh of Brazilian FUs.

title: Fragility in regional governance during implementation of the Urgency and Emergency Network in the Metropolitan Region

description: ABSTRACT This article analyzes the implementation of the Urgency and Emergencies Network, its regional interfederative arrangements of agreement and policy management, in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, along the period of 2011-2016. Implementation is considered as a dynamic policy process, with constant interaction, negotiation and learning. This is a case study, based on qualitative health research and policy implementation studies, with 4 overlapping levels of analysis: implementation design; characterization of implementation actors; characterization of regional interfederative arrangements and disputes and interfederative challenges not overcome. The data were obtained from public documents of instances of agreement and coordination of the policy and participating organizations and actors. Based on the reflections of Power in health policies by Testa and the Paidéia method of collective management, it is analyzed how the results revealed the insufficiency of the political instruments and coordination arrangements developed by the imple-mentation of the Urgency and Emergency Network. Thus, the fragility of regional governance, the need to strengthen health regions as a territorial unit, its relationship with health care networks and the proposals for regional and interfederative arrangements for SUS development are discussed.

title: Hue data and simulated hue data

description: The aim of the agreement study here was to determine whether the scanner can reproduce the mean hue measurements taken by the colorimeter on the same fruit over time. The colorimeter is faster and easier to use than a flatbed scanner. Additionally, each image obtained with the scanner needs to processed by an image manipulation program to select the object and extract its pixel-by-pixel information. Our major interest here is in the longitudinal accuracy profile, because high values over time would suggests that the fruit's topography does not influence the measurements taken by the scanner. In addition, we have two simulated dataset. Firstly, in the simulated_hue a total of 100 fruits were observed over 20 days by three methods to evaluate the mean hue of fruit's peel. The aim of the agreement study was to assess how well the methods 2, and 3 agreed with method 1 over time. In the simulated_hue_block , A total of 100 fruits by block were observed over 20 days by four methods to evaluate the mean hue of fruit's peel. We considered three blocks in this simulation. The aim of the agreement study was to assess how well the methods 2, 3, and 4 agreed with method 1 over time.

title: Analysis of laser therapy effects in Sporothrix schenckii inactivation in vivo

description: Abstract Introduction Sporotrichosis is a common disease in tropical regions, caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii, affecting mainly rural workers and in direct contact with animals. Although treatment by indiscriminate use of oral antifungal drugs gives rise resistant isolates, leading to therapeutic failures and no remission of the disease. To evaluate the effectiveness of red low-power laser photobiomodulation in inactivation of S. schenckii infection induced in rodents. Methods Subcutaneously inoculation (2x103 S. schenckii/ml, 0.2 ml suspension) in the left footpad, in 27 mice divided into: control (n = 6, inoculated, without irradiation): early stage (not inoculated) = 1th biopsy; intermediate (9 weeks of evolution) = 2nd biopsy; final (21 weeks of evolution) = 3th biopsy. Treated (n = 21, inoculated and irradiated): early (13 weeks of evolution, 4 weeks after first irradiation) = 4th biopsy, intermediate (17 weeks of evolution, 8 weeks after first irradiation) = 5th biopsy, final (21 weeks of evolution, 12 weeks after first irradiation) = 6th biopsy. Serial irradiation with biopsies occurred every 30 days during each month, for three months. At the end of testing, the mice were euthanized, and histological analyzes of biopsies were performed. Results Each laser treatment session showed an inactivation of S. schenckii in treated animals compared to controls, with a regression of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, chronic inflammation, neutrophils, granulomas, giant mononuclear cells and steroid corpuscles. Conclusion The laser photobiomodulation was effective on S. schenckii inactivation, appearing to be an interesting therapeutic option in infections caused by this organism.

title: Delay in breast cancer diagnosis on women assisted in the Public Health System

description: Abstract Introduction Despite efforts, mortality from breast cancer remains high in Brazil and is most common in regions where access to health services is difficult or inexistent. One of the INCA’s (Instituto Nacional do Câncer) recommendations to reduce mortality is to improve the early diagnosis for up to 60 days after the suspicious. Objective To establish the elapsed time (in days) between the suspect and the breast cancer diagnosis, subgrouping the timeframe in the events of: primary care medical appointment; mammography and/or ultrasonography; specialized medical appointment; biopsy and; medical appointment for the diagnosis conclusion. Methods The descriptive and sectional study was accomplished with samples from 45 women attending the public health service, diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. Results The average elapsed time was of 142.6 days ± 10.1 (12-451), with 60% of diagnosis performed within 120 and 180 days and effective diagnosed chance of up to 60 days for 8.9% of the cases. Conclusions A effective implementation of care lines in the cancer care network is in need, with connection between services to speed women access to comprehensive assistance.

title: Automatic Calibration of a Simulator Applied to a Mountain River Employing Experimental Data of Rainfall and Level – Case Study: D’Antas Stream, RJ

description: ABSTRACT This work couples an optimization technique to a precipitation-flow model, for the purpose, among others, of developing an automatic calibration tool. The strategy was tested in the estimation of some parameters required for modeling the water level in drainage systems, which were evaluated in a case study, involving the simulation of flood waves in the main course that drains the watershed of D’Antas Stream located in Nova Friburgo-RJ. Here, the direct problem consisted in calculating the water level variation at a given position on that course, implemented on the MOHID-Land platform. On the other hand, the inverse problem focused on the estimation of three hydraulic parameters, which are characteristic of both the basin and the course itself. By applying the method of Luus-Jaakola (LJ) values were estimated for these parameters, resulting in the best fit between simulation and observation. The assessment of the adopted methodology was based on results achieved for three different rainfall scenarios, including the one that led to the reported tragedy in the mountain region of Rio de Janeiro in January 2011. Generally speaking, the results were very satisfactory, both regarding the computational efficiency in the estimates and the ability of the model to fit the observed data.
