title: List of sentences in Portuguese: speech perception evaluation in children

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to develop lists of sentences in Brazilian Portuguese based on daily vocabulary to evaluate auditory speech perception in children. Methods: a Brazilian Portuguese corpus with adaptations to attend the criteria established for this study and analyzed by judges was used to obtain the sentences. Thirty-seven lists, each composed of thirteen sentences with fifty phonological keywords, were constructed. The material was presented to ten children, aged between 6 and 10 years, with no hearing or communication complaints. The Friedman test was applied to verify possible differences among the lists. The level of significance adopted was 5% (0.05). Results: the mean speech recognition index presented by the participants was 96.8% for all lists. The thirty-seven lists were considered statistically similar (p=0.140). Conclusion: the developed material proved to contain sentences that represent situations of children’s day-to-day communication and its application is easy and quick.

title: Entrepreneurship and endogenous development: bibliometric study

description: Abstract: The endogenous character of development is an important instrument for building an environment capable of transforming a given geographical space. In this sense, local actors are living forces capable of creating situations conducive to the emergence of entrepreneurship. This research aims to characterize scientific production on entrepreneurship and its relationship with endogenous development. To achieve the goal of the research, a bibliometric research was carried out on the Scopus, EBSCO, and Web of Science databases, comprising an open period until 2019, resulting in 131 articles. The research was also characterized by a qualitative approach of an exploratory nature, with the objective of analyzing the discussions and possible relationships between entrepreneurship and endogenous development, using as a research technique the content analysis of the 20 most cited articles. The research base used quanttative principles with descriptive characteristics. The findings of the research did not confirm Lotka’s Law, that is, there is no evidence of elitism by authors. From the point of view of contributions, the inital research theses are confirmed, in which endogenous development is related to entrepreneurship. The findings show that entrepreneurship is an important instrument for the development of a region.

title: Decomposition and nutrient release of eucalyptus harvest residues in southeast Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Background: Background: Eucalypt harvest residues are critical to nutrient balances and forest soil productivity mainly in areas with consecutive forest rotations. However, nutrient release and their relations over decomposition are still poorly understood in tropical sites. We aimed to understand how nutrients are released from leaves, branches, and bark (as harvest residues), and how nutrient concentrations could be limiting the decomposition of each fraction. We measured mass loss and nutrient release of Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis harvest residues for 365 days in Southeast Brazil. Results: Results: Leaves fraction showed a faster decomposition rate than branches and bark, but nutrient accumulation was observed for all harvest residues, especially bark and branches at later stages of the decomposition. Decomposition of all harvest residues seemed to be P-limited with a stronger limitation occurring for leaf litter decomposers. The decomposition of more lignified residues such as bark and branches was less influenced by climatic variables than leaf decomposition. Conclusion: Conclusion: Eucalypt harvest residues had a great contribution to soil fertility, and retaining them in the soil systems will enhance soil fertility in the short (leaves) and long-term (branches and bark) and can partially supply the nutrients for the next rotation.

title: THE BRAZILIAN DEINDUSTRIALIZATION THESIS REVISITED: A SUBSYSTEM APPROACH, 2000-2015

description: ABSTRACT This article investigates the structural transformation of sectors and subsystems in Brazil during the 2000-2015 period, applying Momigliano and Siniscalco’s approach. We employed the official Brazilian input-output tables from 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 to evaluate employment, value-added, and profits of six economic activities. Looking at sectors and subsystems, we can better understand the structural change and its connection with domestic outsourcing, particularly in manufacturing. Our ﬁndings underscored a weaker process of manufacturing decline when we take the subsystem approach. The rising integration of market services into the manufacturing sector explains, at least partially, the smaller manufacturing decline in terms of value-added and profit participation in the overall economy.

title: Phylogenetic relatedness and competition: a pot experiment with semiarid tree species

description: ABSTRACT Background: Factors determining the coexistence of species have been recognized since Darwin, but empirical studies have brought the relationship between niche similarity and competition into question. Knowing the mechanisms of coexistence makes it possible to predict biological invasions and determine better species combinations for the restoration and recovery of degraded areas. The aim of this study was to test the competition-relatedness hypothesis for semiarid tree species. Thus, an experiment was carried out with a phylogenetic gradient of tree species, planted in pairs. The phylogenetically closest pair consisted of congeneric species of the same clade, the intermediate pair comprised congeneric species of distinct clades, and the more distant pair were species of the same family. Results: Our results show that the phylogenetically closest and the more distant pairs corroborated the competition-relatedness hypothesis, but the presence of one species with high competitive ability in the intermediate pair caused an unexpected pattern. Conclusion: Niche differences are important for coexistence, but it is necessary to know the competitive ability of each species and the specific associations that are more productive to improve the efficiency of restoration programs and to reveal the degree of aggressiveness in the case of invasive species.

title: Socio-economic factors influencing household dependency on forests: an empirical evidence from Turkey

description: ABSTRACT Background: Although forest villages in Turkey do not differ from other villages in the country in terms of administrative divisions, the job possibilities of their residents are limited due to the location of the villages in areas with rugged terrain. Forest villages have the poorest economic status of all types of communities in the country in terms of per capita national income and socio-economic structure; limited agricultural land; inadequate transportation and infrastructure; and, most importantly, weak educational, health, and cultural services. Results: This study explains forest dependency and its relation to certain characteristics of householders by a case study. Data were collected from 150 households and were analyzed using the logistic regression model. Conclusion: The results showed that a householder’s age, duration of residence, and employment variables had a significant effect on the forest whereas other variables, gender, educational level, and household size, did not have a statistically significant effect on forest dependence.

title: Development of a responsive website to promote behavior changes in computer users

description: ABSTRACT The increase in the use of technology for prolonged periods, both inside and outside of work, is associated with a sedentary lifestyle, a risk factor for several health problems. Change in this behavior can be promoted with the use of technologies. We aim to develop an interactive responsive website to promote behavioral changes in computer users. From a literature review, modifiable risk factors associated with health problems in computer users were identified. Messages were created to increase knowledge and promote behavioral changes in users. These messages include recommendations regarding breaks, adjustments in the workplace, physical exercise, hydration, among others. The messages are personalized, and the user includes personal information and current lifestyle habits. All this information was implemented in an interactive responsive website developed in JavaScript language and Node.js engine. The responsive website was developed, including the proposed features, and is available online. Future studies can evaluate the effectiveness of the responsive website in promoting behavioral changes among computer users, improving their health and quality of life.

title: Assessment of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in critically ill patients: physical therapists’ knowledge and barriers to its use

description: ABSTRACT Transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is considered an important tool to prevent muscle mass and strength loss in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU). This study aimed to evaluate physical therapists’ profile and knowledge of NMES and identify the main barriers to its use in ICUs. This observational cross-sectional study was conducted via a structured questionnaire created by the authors. It consisted of 12 objective questions to analyze physical therapists’ knowledge of NMES use in critically ill patients. Physical therapists were invited to participate in this study during an international symposium on NMES. In total, 56 physical therapists, with a mean age of 33.5±7.2 years and working an average of 9.7±7 years after graduation, completed the survey. Overall, 34 respondents worked in ICUs, of which only four (12%) reported regular NMES use in their ICUs. We found a low average of correct answers to our questionnaire (25%; 3/12). The main barriers reported to using NMES in ICUs were lack of knowledge (28; 50%) and equipment (24; 43%). The number of correct answers expert and non-expert physical therapists was not statistically significant (p=0.68). Thus, we observed participants’ poor knowledge of NMES use in critically ill patients. Respondents showed that NMES has been underused in their ICUs. Lack of knowledge and equipment seems to be the main barriers for the use of NMES in ICUs.

title: EVALUATION OF A PROCESS FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL DEVELOPMENT OF DATA MINING, AI AND DATA SCIENCE APPLICATIONS ALIGNED WITH THE STRATEGIC PLANNING

description: ABSTRACT The Big Data phenomenon has imposed maturity on companies regarding the exploration of their data, as a prerogative to obtain valuable insights into their clients and the power of analysis to guide decision-making processes. Therefore, a general approach that describes how to extract knowledge for the execution of the business strategy needs to be established. The purpose of this research paper is to introduce and evaluate the implementation of a process for the experimental development of Data Mining (DM), AI and Data Science applications aligned with the strategic planning. A case study with the proposed process was conducted in a federal educational institution. The results generated evidence showing that it is possible to integrate a strategic alignment approach, an experimental method, and a methodology for the development of DM applications. Data Mining (DM) and Data Science (DS) applications also present the risks of other Information Systems, and the adoption of strategy-driven and scientific method processes are critical success factors. Moreover, it was possible to conclude that the application of the scientific method was facilitated, besides being an important tool to ensure the quality, reproducibility and transparency of intelligent applications. In conclusion, the process needs to be mapped to foment and guide the strategic alignment.
