title: Knowledge and attitudes towards dementia in a sample of medical residents from a university-hospital in São Paulo, Brazil

description: An estimated 61% of the 24.3 million people diagnosed with dementia worldwide live in underdeveloped countries, including Brazil, where a public healthcare system covers the majority of the population. This care is usually provided by General Practitioners (GP) and in Brazil many doctors recently graduated from medical school and residents of different medical specialties practice as GPs. Objective : The aim of this study was to describe the knowledge and attitudes about dementia in a sample of Brazilian medical residents from a university-hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. Methods : A total of 152 Brazilian medical residents participated in the study. Participants answered a "Knowledge Quiz" (KQ) and "Attitude Quiz" (AQ) about dementia issues, transculturally adapted for use in Brazilian physicians. A descriptive analysis of the correct answers on knowledge and of the attitude aspects was performed. Results : The medical residents showed poor knowledge (&lt;50%) about dementia prevalence and incidence and a good knowledge on disease management and diagnosis. Participants tended to be optimistic about caring for demented patients. Conclusion : In this study, it is likely that the physicians' good knowledge about dementia issues is the reason for their optimism dealing with demented patients.

title: Factors Affecting Satisfaction in Online Financial Transactions: a study of Brazilian home brokers

description: ABSTRACT This paper evaluated consumers’ perceptions of Brazilian Home Broker services in the online environment. Based on the model suggested by Balasubramanian, Konana and Menon (2003), the effects of relevant online consumer behavior constructs on customer satisfaction with the service were analyzed. Constructs such as perceived operational competence, willingness to trust and perceived environmental security were employed, in a model fully mediated by trust. A questionnaire with scales previously used in literature was employed to measure the relevant constructs and structural equations applied to analyze the relationships found. Results show a strong relationship between perceived environment security and perceived operational competence, indicating that trust formation precedes satisfaction in online financial services transactions within the Brazilian context.

title: The tribe Dalbergieae s.l. (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) in the municipality of Caetité, Bahia, Brazil

description: Abstract Dalbergieae s.l. owns 49 genera and 1,324 species distributed mainly in Neotropics. In Brazil is represented by approximately 380 species and 18 genera. Studies floristic/taxonomic about the Dalbergieae in Brazil are punctual, the knowledge about their diversity is still fragmented or is out-of-date. With respect to the Caetité, these studies are still non-existent. This work had as objective to carry out a study of the taxonomic species of Dalbergieae occurring in Caetité, giving identification key, descriptions, illustrations for most of them and comments on the distribution geographical and affinities taxonomic of the species. Have been recorded 30 species distributed in 12 genera. Stylosanthes (6 spp.), Dalbergia (5) e Machaerium (5) were the genera most representative. Nissolia tomentosa is being registered for the first time to Bahia in this study. Pterocarpus zehntneri, considered to be a kind of distribution that is uncertain in the state of Bahia, was recoletada after 105 years. The taxa have been observed in all types vegetational, having prevalence greater in areas of the shrubby Caatinga and of the Cerrado s.s. Characteristics of the leaves, inflorescence, color of petals, and type of fruit were the characters most relevant to the identification of the taxa.

title: Financial execution of health financing blocks in the municipalities of Santa Catarina, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The use of the resources transferred from other federative instances to health financing blocks by the municipalities of Santa Catarina was analyzed. This is a descriptive study of the years 2009 and 2015. It was observed that municipalities invest their own health resources well beyond what is legally recommended, however, they cannot make full use of the direct transfer resources made by the state and the Union to the blocks of health financing. It is noted, however, a significant reduction in the amount of resources underutilized in the analyzed period, which indicates an improvement in the capacity to manage direct transfer resources.

title: Program of neuropsychological stimulation of cognition in students: Emphasis on executive functions - development and evidence of content validity

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The goal of this study was to describe the construction process and content validity evidence of an early and preventive intervention program for stimulating executive functions (EF) in Elementary School children within the school environment. Methods: The process has followed the recommended steps for creating neuropsychological instruments: internal phase of program organization, with literature search and analyses of available materials in the classroom; program construction; analysis by expert judges; data integration and program finalization. To determine the level of agreement among the judges, a Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated. Results: Content validity was evidenced by the agreement among the experts with regards to the program, both in general and for each activity. All steps taken were deemed necessary because they contributed to the identification of positive aspects and possible flaws in the process Conclusion: The steps also helped to adapt stimuli and improve program tasks and activities. Methodological procedures implemented in this study can be adopted by other researchers to create or adapt neuropsychological stimulation and rehabilitation programs. Furthermore, the methodological approach allows the reader to understand, in detail, the technical and scientific rigor adopted in devising this program.

title: Factors associated with worse levels in the Burnout scale in basic education teachers

description: Abstract Burnout syndrome results from chronic occupational stress and is composed by three dimensions emotional exhaustion, depersonalization (cynicism) and professional fulfillment. The study aimed to identify, in basic education teachers from Londrina, Brazil, factors associated with worse levels in these dimensions. This is a cross-sectional study, conducted between August 2012 and June 2013 that gathered information on socio-demographic and occupational characteristics, relationships in school, violence, and burnout syndrome (by means of the Maslach Burnout Inventory - MBI). Scores over the percentile 75 in the MBI (exhaustion and cynicism) or below the percentile 25 (professional fulfillment) were considered the worse levels. Bivariate and Poisson multiple regressions analyses were conducted. A total of 804 teachers participated in the study. After adjustments, bad/fair relationship with students was associated with worse levels in the three BMI dimensions. Insufficient time for family/leisure and bad/fair relationship with students' parents remained significantly associated with higher levels of exhaustion and cynicism. Physical violence, high number of students and bad school infrastructure were associated with worse levels of cynicism, while bad/fair opportunity to express opinions at work with low professional fulfillment. Hostile work environment and other labor factors should be prioritized by policies in order to prevent burnout syndrome among teachers.

title: Assessing some measures of online deliberation

description: The empirical turn in deliberative democracy has fostered the development of different methodological procedures. Within this literature, studies focusing on the internet have gained increasing attention. The belief that the internet may help solve some of the deliberative deficits of democracies has propelled an interest in the potential benefits and problems of online discourse. This article seeks to discuss some of the methods that have been advocated for the study of online deliberation to point out three of their weaknesses: (01) the establishment of misleading distinctions; (02) the neglect of the implications of the deliberative system; and (03) the disregard of some specificities of the internet.

title: Chemical, physical and biological changes of white oat ensiled with different additives

description: SUMMARY This study evaluated the addition of inoculants on the aerobic stability, nutritional value, and fermentation and microbiological profiles of white oat silages (Avena sativa L.). The trial was carried out in a completely randomized design with three treatments and six replicates. The treatments consisted of three ensiling approaches: oat (O); oat with homofermentative bacterial inoculant (OB); and oat with bacterial-enzymatic inoculant (OBE). The aerobic stability was 9 days for silage O and 14 days for silages OB and OBE. The non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC) decreased (16.67 to 14.05% DM) and the crude protein (CP) did not change (mean of 8.98% DM) during the aerobic exposure in all silages. The buffering capacity (BC) decreased, while pH and the ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) increased during the aerobic exposure in all silages. Independent from the aerobic exposure period, BC of OBE silage was higher than O silage (29.67 vs. 24.80 meq/100 g DM). Lactic acid bacteria count in OB silage (7.83 log CFU/g) was higher than in O and OBE silages (5.24 log CFU/g, on average). Also, the OB silage showed high enterobacteria count compared to OBE silage (2.49 vs. 0.76 log CFU/g). The inoculation with Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici and amylase enzyme at the dose of 1×105 CFU/g does not improve the aerobic stability, nutritional value and the fermentation and microbiological profiles of oat silages.

title: Evaluation of Sustainability of Brazilian Ethanol Production: A model in System Dynamics

description: ABSTRACT System dynamics is an approach to analyze the behavior of complex systems, such as the productive chains, strictly considering the inherent characteristics. This approach is based on mathematical concepts of nonlinear processes developed in mathematics and physics and consolidated in engineering. The concepts inherent in this approach assists in creating a mathematical model that represents a production chain by using computer simulation. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to present the formalization of the dynamic model of assessing the sustainability of Brazilian ethanol production. We analyzed the external environment and the scenarios needed for a deeper understanding of relation of cause and effect, causal loops and diagrams of flows and stocks because of the awareness stage, with regard to understanding the problems involved, according to methodology known as design science.

title: CHARACTERIZATION OF VERMICOMPOST PRODUCED WITH STRAW COFFEE AND CATTLE MANURE

description: ABSTRACT: Despite the knowledge that you have about the benefits of the humus of the worms or vermicompost, there is a need to evaluate the technical feasibility of using other sources of carbon for worms. The objective was to evaluate the possibility of using straw of coffee to vermicompost production, the effects of their use on worms and on the quality of humus obtained. The evaluated treatments consisted of: (1 straw of coffee (SC) 100%; 2 SC 75% + manure (MA); 3 50% SC + 50% MA; 4 25% SC + 75% MA; 5 100% MA). The straw of coffee and the manure were incubated for 64 days to make them available to feed the worms and more 84 days to digest the substrate. The straw of coffee increased the number of worms without resulting in harmful effects. The percentage increment of the straw in the constitution of the vermicompost increased the availability of N, K, Ca and Cu, but it reduced the availability of Mg, S, Mn, P, Fe and Zn. Aiming o the medium supply of nutrients, the proportion of the 50% of straw of coffee and 50% of manure is designated.
