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.

title: Urban dispossession and insurgency: conflicts and contradictions of real estate and housing based on recent occupations in São Paulo

description: Abstract The concept of urban dispossession was formulated in the 1970s to explain the poor living conditions of workers during industrialization in São Paulo. In the following decades, real estate became central to economy, which made house prices rise. This process, together with the condition of low income, restricts the access of the poor to housing and reveals the contradictions inherent in private property as a housing solution. Based on observations of a recent occupation in the periphery and another one in the central region of the city, new forms of urban dispossession are discussed in the article, identifying strategies to struggle for the right to housing. It is concluded that collective occupations have potential for challenging private property and inequalities; however, they are not free from the contradictions they engender.

title: Campylobacter jejuni AND Campylobacter coli IN CHILLED AND FROZEN CHICKEN CARCASSES

description: Abstract Species of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. are agents of campylobacteriosis outbreaks in humans, and poultry products are implicated as major sources of infection. The detection of Campylobacter spp. was performed by conventional microbiology in poultry carcasses collected in slaughterhouses and species were identified by multiplex-PCR. Thermophilic Campylobacter spp. was verified in 63.8% of the samples, being 72.2% in chilled carcasses and 55.5% in frozen carcasses. Of these, 83.3% were positive for C. jejuni and 66.6% to C. coli, while 50% were positive for both. The presence of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in ready-to-eat poultry products represents a potential source of human campylobacteriosis.

title: Evaluation of the Sagittaria montevidensis Cham. & Schltdl. as a bioindicator and phytoextractor of toxic metals

description: Abstract This study evaluated the bioindication and phytoremediation capacity of the aquatic macrophyte Sagittaria montevidensis by using it to assess the bioconcentration and translocation of heavy metals. A simple sampling was conducted at four sites in the region of Pelotas, southern Brazil, where plants, water and sediments were collected. The plants were subjected to nitric-perchloric acid digestion and the sediments underwent pseudo-total acid digestion. The determination of the elements Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni and Zn in the extracts was performed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Physicochemical tests were also carried out on water samples, including pH, electrical conductivity, chlorides, alkalinity, hardness and organic matter, and in sediment samples, moisture and organic matter content. The macrophyte study indicated a Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) and a Translocation Factor (TF), especially for Ni. The results showed that the aquatic macrophyte species S. montevidensis has a phytoextraction capacity, mainly for Ni, and potentially for bioindication of Cu, Ni and Zn.

title: Stratigraphic evolution of the Upper Carboniferous-Lower Triassic Sequence, Parnaíba Basin, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: The Upper Carboniferous-Lower Triassic Sequence represents the third major sedimentary cycle of the Parnaíba Basin in northeastern Brazil and corresponds to the Balsas Group. The sequence is composed by a thick pack of siliciclastic rocks whose sediments were deposited under complex conditions, varying from clastic/evaporitic shallow marine to lacustrine and desert environment. Aiming to clarify the sedimentary sequence evolution, this work conducted a stratigraphic analysis of the Upper Carboniferous-Lower Triassic sediments. Modern and classic concepts of sequence stratigraphy were applied on a database of wells and seismic sessions. We identified three main depositional sequences. Sequence 1 corresponds to rocks initially deposited by a fluvial system which evolved to shallow marine conditions related to a transgressive stage, later evolving to a deltaic system. Sequence 2 corresponds to sediments deposited under lacustrine/arid conditions, during an important regressive stage, that evolved to a dominantly desert environment recorded in Sequence 3. Seismic stratigraphic analyses allow to infer key stratigraphic surfaces, and three main sequences. Seismic facies related with such sequences are dominantly parallel and sub-parallel, with good lateral continuity, suggesting that the sedimentary rates were homogenous along the interval analyzed in this sector of Parnaíba Basin.

title: Cancer incidence and mortality in rural workers in the Brazilian Western Amazon

description: Abstract Aim To conduct an exploratory study about cancer incidence and mortality in rural workers in the state of Acre, Brazil. Methods The Proportional Cancer Incidence Ratio (PCIR) was calculated for rural male workers who live in Rio Branco, Acre, with histological diagnosis of cancer, and the Cancer Mortality Odds Ratio (CMOR) comparing cancer deaths occurred in rural workers in the state of Acre with those occurred in people with other occupations in the period from 2007 to 2012. Results High and statistically significant PCIR were observed for tumors of larynx, PCIR = 7.55 (95% CI 4.23-12.46); melanoma, PCIR = 11.44 (95% CI 6.55-18.54); and non – Hodgkin lymphoma, PCIR = 10.00 (95% CI 5.17-17.50) compared to the population of Rio Branco. Regarding the mortality compared analysis, we can observe CMOR = 6.94 (95% CI 1.73-27.89) for pancreatic cancer and CMOR = 13.89 (95% CI 1.25-153.60) for cancer of the urinary tract. Conclusion The results suggest an increase in the incidence estimates of mortality for selected tumor sites among rural workers that are consistent with the literature.

title: SEED, SEEDLING AND FRUIT MORPHOLOGY AND SEED GERMINATION OF Psidium sobralianum PLANTS OF THE SÃO FRANCISCO VALLEY, BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT The Northeast region of Brazil has the second highest number of species of the Myrtaceae family. It is mostly covered by the Caatinga biome, which is very degraded, making it difficult to preserve species of this family. Thus, the objective of this work was to describe the seed, seedling, and fruit morphology, and seed germination of Psidium sobralianum Landrum & Proença plants of the São Francisco Valley, Brazil. The fruits were collected in an area of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa Semiarid), in Petrolina PE, Brazil. The evaluations consisted of determinations of fruit shape, consistency, and number of seeds; seed form, cotyledons, hilum, hypocotyl-radicle axis, and embryo type; epicarp, mesocarp, endocarp, and seed staining; longitudinal, transversal, and ventral diameters of fruits and seeds; fruit, pulp, and seed fresh and dry masses; germination test; first count of germinated seeds; germination speed index; shoot and root lengths; shoot and root fresh and dry masses; and imbibition test. Psidium sobralianum has polyspermic, berry fruits, subclassified as solanidium, with persistent sepals and globular shape, consisting of epicarp, mesocarp, endocarp and seeds. The fruits have green with orange epicarp, pale-green mesocarp, and white endocarp. The seeds have a pilose and bony aspect, a pimentoid type of embryo, foliaceous cotyledons, presence of operculum and hilum, and pale-yellow tegument. The germination is epigeal phanerocotiledonar, with root protrusion from 26 days after sowing (DAS); it presents a short, glabrous, thick radicle, and a rounded, pale-green apex. The germination is slow, probably due to the mechanical barrier of the tegument, and stabilizes at 90 DAS.
