title: Knowledge about Alzheimer's disease in the Brazilian population

description: ABSTRACT Dementia is a very common disease, but the general population's knowledge about its main etiology, Alzheimer's disease (AD), is still poor, leading to delayed seeking of healthcare services, less prevention of disease by lifestyle changes and more difficulty in managing the care of the demented. Objective: To measure knowledge about AD in a Brazilian sample, taking into account some demographic variables. Methods: A link to a self-administered online questionnaire was sent by email and via other social media to anyone older than 18 years old. Our questionnaire contained sociodemographic questions and the Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale (ADKS), a well-established scale comprising 30 “true or false” questions about AD. Results: 1,414 people (1,076 females), with a mean age of 42.3 years (SD ± 14.1), and 87.4% having more than 11 years of schooling, answered the online questionnaire. The mean total score for the ADKS was 21.6 out of 30 points (SD ± 3.73); however when we excluded health professionals (36.4% of the sample), it dropped to 20.5/30 (SD ± 3.51). The scores were positively influenced by educational level, professional skills (better for health professionals, mainly physicians) and by age (younger than 65 years). Being a caregiver or family member did not influence the knowledge about disease. Discussion: Despite the high prevalence of AD, few studies have been conducted in Brazil regarding the population's knowledge about the disease. Our study revealed a lack of information about AD in our country, even in relatives and caregivers of demented patients.

title: Analysis of the assessment methods of reinforced concrete beams in fire conditions proposed by NBR 15200

description: Abstract In Brazil, reinforced concrete structures designed based on NBR 6118 [1] must be assessed in fire conditions through NBR 15200 [2], which proposes multiple test methods. Concerning beams, this standard offers the tabular and simplified methods as possible choices. This study aimed to compare these two methods by applying their principles to isostatic and hyperstatic beams with section of 20x50 cm, designed at room temperature according to NBR 6118 [1]. The temperature distribution along sections was obtained by means of a software program. The results from this study indicated that the simplified method yielded higher fire-resistance ratings (FRR) in 75% of cases, although not surpassing the tabular method by 30 minutes. The simplified method allowed an optimization of the results, despite the longer design time.

title: Carcass and non carcass components of lambs finished in feedlot with cottonseed on the diet

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the carcass and non carcass components characteristics of lambs finished in feedlot with different proportions of cottonseed on the diet. Forty five lambs, non castrated males, from Ile de France race. The treatments were constituted by levels of inclusion of cottonseed on dry matter (DM) of the total diet (0%; 10%; 20%; 30% or 40%), being the diet composed by corn silage (Zea mays L.), ground corn grain (Zea mays L.), soybean meal (Glycine max L.), cottonseed (Gossypiumhirsutum L.), limestone and mineral salt in a roughage: concentrate proportion of 40:60. The animals were slaughtered with a pre- established slaughter weight. The hot and cold carcass weight, as well as the carcass chilling index, the compactness index, the conformation and the fattening state of the carcass were not influenced (P&gt; 0.05) by the level of inclusion of cottonseed on the diet. The hot and cold carcass yield decreased linearly (P≤ 0.05) as the cottonseed was included on the diet. Regarding the subcutaneous fat thickness it is possible to observe that there was a crescent quadratic behavior and in relation to the rib eye area variable, the behavior observed was linear decrescent. Regarding the proportions of the commercial cuts of the carcass, the leg weight decreased linearly (P≤ 0.05) while the percentage of leg was quadratic influenced (P≤ 0.05) by the inclusion of cottonseed on the diets. The full gastrointestinal tract and the gastrointestinal tract content increased linearly (P≤ 0.05) with the increase on the level of inclusion of cottonseed on the diet. Some of the carcass and non carcass components characteristics had negative influence of level fiber content and dietary lipids as it included cottonseed in the total diet.

title: Systematic review on the use and description of measures to evaluate psychotherapeutic interventions with children and adolescents in Brazil

description: Abstract Introduction: Psychotherapeutic interventions in childhood and adolescence are recognized as a mental treatment and as a tool to reduce psychological disorders in youth and adulthood. Therefore, there is an increasing concern about evidence of effectiveness of mental disorder interventions and adequacy of measurement. The objectives of this systematic review were to investigate predominant research designs and instruments used in Brazilian studies describing psychotherapeutic interventions with children and adolescents and to examine how these instruments are described regarding evidence of validity and reliability. Method: Five databases were surveyed, and for each one two independent judges performed the selection of records and applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The final database comprised 28 papers, in which 92 instruments were referred. Fifty-seven instruments cited did not have descriptions of evidence of validity for the Brazilian population; for 31 instruments, validity evidence was mentioned, but the study did not detail which validity parameter was used; three studies described content validity evidence for their instruments. Furthermore, information about reliability was described for only two instruments. Conclusion: A lack of studies in the field of child and adolescent psychotherapy was found in Brazil. There is a significant need for the field to attend both the psychometric properties and the quality of description of research instruments. The scientific production of studies focused on the evaluation of psychotherapeutic interventions may promote evidence-based psychotherapy and justify the offer of mental treatment in different contexts.

title: INTEGRATION OF NOMINAL PREDICATES INTO A PARSER: AN EXPERIMENT WITH THE CONSTRUCTIONS WITH THE SUPPORT VERB DAR ‘GIVE’ IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE

description: ABSTRACT This article describes the methodology for the integration of nominal predicates, that is, support verb constructions (SVC), in the XIP parser, which is used by STRING, a Portuguese processing chain. More specifically, 580 SVC with the support verb (Vsup) dar ‘give’ and a predicative noun (Npred), whose syntactic-semantic properties have been described, formalized and then integrated into the Portuguese grammar of XIP, by means of rules, in order to extract the syntactic dependency (noted SUPPORT) between the Npred and the Vsup. The need to automatically treat SVC derives from the fact that they are different from full-verb constructions, have complex syntactic structures, have specific syntactic-semantic properties, and allow several systematic, albeit lexically determined, syntactic transformations. The concept of SVC, as well as the lexical-syntactic approach here adopted, follows the theoretical and methodological principles of the Lexicon-Grammar theory. As a result of integrating these data into the XIP parser, the system achieved 85% precision, 87% recall, 80% accuracy and 86% F-measure on an evaluation corpus, specifically built for this purpose.

title: Experimental evaluation of coupler behavior for mechanical rebar splices in reinforced concrete structures

description: Abstract The use of mechanical splices to connect steel bars is an important solution in many infrastructure projects worldwide. In Brazil, this system is rarely used. The Brazilian standards regarding this subject are old and out of date; particularly with regard to the performance evaluation test methods for these splices in the laboratory. This paper presents and discusses the test procedure proposed in the international standard ISO 15835 [1] in light of the current procedure defined by Brazilian Standard ABNT NBR 8548 [2], applied to types of mechanical splices commonly used in Brazil: taper threaded and bolted couplers. Performance parameters for these mechanical splicing systems related to structural integrity in reinforced concrete structures are evaluated on the basis of the results obtained in these tests. In the end, it is intended that this paper provide support for discussion of design procedures and laboratory performance evaluation of couplers for mechanical splices of steel bars in reinforced concrete structures in future reviews of Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 8548 [2].

title: The consumption of technology as a structural element of identity: a theoretical and methodological discussion based on French Semiotics

description: Abstract Adopting the Consumer Culture Theory - CCT as a basis for the discussions, this theoretical essay aims to present discursive French Semiotics as a theoretical-methodological alternative for the study of the role of technology consumption in the process of consumer identity construction. The proposal is based mainly on the Technological Ideologies of Kozinets (2008) as possible semantic structuring, and on the use of the generative trajectory of meaning (GREIMAS and COURTÉS, 2013) to analyze the discourses of the technology-consuming subjects.

title: The Benefit of L-Threonine Supplementation on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Intestinal Morphology and Litter Quality of Broilers.

description: ABSTRACT This study was carried out to investigate the effect of dietary L-Threonine supplementation on broiler performance, carcass characteristics, duodenal histo-morphology and litter analysis. It was hypothesised that the overall broiler performance would be improved in threonine adequate diets with reduced environmental impact when using L-threonine supplementation. A total of 144-sexed Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 3 dietary treatments. Each treatment was replicated 6 times with 8 birds per replicate (4 male and 4 female). Treatment group 1 served as threonine deficient group, fed with a diet with all limiting amino acids met except threonine as no synthetic form was supplied. Treatment group 2 served as threonine adequate high crude protein, where L-Threonine adequacy was achieved with higher level of crude protein. Treatment group 3 served as L-Threonine adequate but achieved it through L-Threonine supplementation. Treatment effects on growth performance, carcass characteristics, intestinal morphology and litter quality were determined. Results compared to group 1 showed that group 3 at the end of the experimental period (28 days) had improved final body weight P &lt; 0.05, live and carcass weights P &lt; 0.01, dressing yields P &lt; 0.05, relative wing weights P &lt; 0.01 and relative heart weights P &lt; 0.05. However, group 2 showed numeric improvement in all aforementioned parameters but not enough to show significance. Litter moisture and nitrogen content was affected by dietary L-Threonine fortification P &lt; 0.05. The lowest moisture and nitrogen content were noticed in group 3. Meanwhile, group 2 showed the highest nitrogen and group 1 showed the highest moisture content among all groups. Intestinal villi length and villus: crypt ratio was affected by dietary treatments P &lt; 0.001 and P &lt; 0.05 respectively. Group 3 showed the highest villus length and villus: crypt ratio followed by group 2 and group 1. In conclusion correcting L-Threonine deficient diet by adding L-Threonine significantly improved live weight gain and carcass characteristics, while numerically improved feed conversion ratio and breast weight. Correcting the deficit by supplying crude protein had no significant effect. Additionally, dietary L-Threonine supplementation reduced environmental burden by reducing both litter nitrogen and moisture content.

title: Partial internal hemipelvectomy as rescue therapy in obstipation in four dogs: case report

description: ABSTRACT Multiple pelvic fractures can lead to narrowing of the pelvic canal and loss of life quality. Hemipelvectomy, characterized by removal of bone fragments from the pelvis, is considered a rescue therapy. This report describes the technique of caudal partial hemipelvectomy in four cases of obstipation secondary to traumatic pelvic canal narrowing in four dogs, with promising results. All patients had tenesmus and fecal retention. After the procedure, the patients presented immediate normochezia and support of the ipsilateral limb after 10 to 20 days, showing the feasibility of the technique in small animals, providing clinical improvement without walking alterations.
