title: Prevalence and factors associated with experimentation and consumption of alcoholic drinks among adolescent students

description: Abstract Introduction Alcohol, despite being a psychoactive substance, is widely experienced and consumed by adolescents in several countries, including Brazil. Therefore, it is essential to identify the contributing factors to the occurrence of this problem. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the prevalence and factors associated with experimentation and consumption of alcoholic drinks among adolescent students. Method It is an epidemiological research, cross-sectional, held with 834 High School adolescents from public schools in urban and rural areas of the city of Jequié, Bahia. The data collection took place from self-administered questionnaire. The sample was a systematic random. Data were analyzed from descriptive statistics and regression logistics. Results The prevalence of experimentation of alcohol (80.75%) and alcohol consumption (37.75) was higher in males 57.91% and 59.66%, respectively. Of the factors with statistically significant positive association, the tobacco experience had greater impact on experiencing (PR=1.31; 95% CI=1.25-1.37) and consumption (PR=2.08; CI95=1.75 to 2.47%) of alcoholic beverages. Conclusion among the adolescents surveyed, the prevalence of alcohol experiencing and consumption is high, requiring actions to minimize especially the main associated factors.

title: Sanitary quality of drinking water distributed for public supply in Rio Verde, State of Goiás, Brazil

description: Abstract Water distributed for public supply must comply with the standard potability in order to be sanitarily safe and not to expose the supplied population to epidemiological risks inherent to waterborne diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of the water distributed to residents of three neighborhoods in the city of Rio Verde, Goiás state. Four samples were collected per week on December 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th 2012, at the three locations selected. The parameters analyzed were temperature, total dissolved solids, conductivity, turbidity, pH, free residual chlorine, total coliforms and Escherichia coli. The average results were compared with the limits established by the Ministry of Health Ordinance No. 2914 of 2011. All the samples met the limits established by that order related to total dissolved solids parameters, turbidity, pH, total coliforms and Escherichia coli. The analyzed water supply system presented unconformity regarding the free residual chlorine level in two neighborhoods, which can compromise the health of the population served. The operational procedures in the water treatment disinfection step must be rectified so that the free residual chlorine levels in the distribution network meet the legal limits.

title: ENERGY DENSITY MODEL FOR FOREST SPECIES FROM CERRADO

description: ABSTRACT Wood is the main source of energy in the energy matrix of underdeveloped countries, in addition to having a significant participation in developing countries, ranking fourth in Brazil. Thus, this study aimed to determine a model for determining the energy density of forest species from the Cerrado. Samples of trunks and branches were collected from 34 forest species in an area of 10.15 ha located in the Cerrado region aiming for immediate analysis, i.e. the contents of ashes (ASH), volatile matter (VM), fixed carbon (FC), and higher calorific value (HCV). Data from dry and saturated mass were obtained in order to determine the basic density. The species presented values of VM ranging from 77 to 85.5%, ASH from 0 to 1%, FC from 14 to 23%, and HCV ranging from 18,282 to 20,121 GJ ton-1. A significant relationship was found between VM and FC (R2 = 0.9927) whereas no significant values were found between HCV and basic density. The average value of energy density considering the 34 species was 12,459 Mcal m-3. The estimated energy density of the area was 1,378,541 Mcal ha-1. The proposed model for calculating the energy density as a function of basic density favors energy surveys of areas to be explored since there is no need for calorific value analysis.

title: Virtual reality and the logic of space

description: Abstract the goal of this article is to promote a reflection on the expression virtual reality, created in the 80’s by computer scientist Jaron Lanier, reaching later the terms augmented reality and increased virtuality. The approach is based on the theoretical tools of French semiotics, notably the semiotic square proposed by Algirdas Julien Greimas. The considerations put forward propose the recognition of spatiality as one of the possible interacting axes to enable thinking about the emergence of different types of images in contemporaneity and the forms of interaction explored from them.

title: Regionalized Health Surveillance in the State of Pernambuco: a case study

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of Regionalized Health Surveillance (HS) in the State of Pernambuco. It is an evaluative study carried out by means of the normative and the exploratory steps. The normative evaluation applied a quantitative approach for the structure and process dimensions, measuring the degree of HS implementation in four health regions of Pernambuco. The exploratory step consisted of semi-structured interviews with key informants so to apprehend also their perception about the HS regionalization process in Pernambuco as the factors that ease and hinder the process. HS was classified as 'partially implemented' in regions I, II and III, and 'implemented' in region IV. 'Structure' was classified as 'partially implemented' in all regions. 'Process' was classified as 'partially implemented' in regions I and III, and 'implemented' in regions II and IV. We concluded that HS regionalization in Pernambuco is still incomplete, despite being a process of great relevance, since the regional level is able to plan and promote strategies more appropriate for each context, given the specific characteristics of each municipality.

title: Facial analysis in Down's Syndrome patients

description: OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the facial features of patients with Down syndrome, such as projection of the nose, projection and length of upper and lower lips, projection of soft pogonion and to compare them with the standardized analysis by Ayala and Gutierrez1. METHODS: The sample consisted of 20 patients with Down's Syndrome, between 8 and 13 years-old of both genders. The analysis was performed by one orthodontist, using lateral cephalograms and photography in natural head position. For statistical analysis, the mean values of linear measurements within a range of 95% were used. RESULTS: The mean (± standard deviation) showed a nasal projection of 10.1 mm (2.4), the upper and lower lip in front of the vertical reference line, subnasal and soft pogonion with a retrusion of 4.95 mm (4.6). The length of the upper lip showed a value of 20.2 mm (2.4) and the length of the lower lip of 42.5 mm (2.9). CONCLUSION: The facial analysis of patients with Down's Syndrome, compared with Ayala and Gutierrez1, showed smaller nasal projection, greater projection of the upper and lower lip, but lengths, and retrusion of the soft pogonion, similar to those of normal individuals

title: DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS IN BLUE-FRONTED PARROT (Amazona aestiva, Linnaeus, 1758)

description: AbstractLocal anesthetic procedures are commonly used in domestic and wild birds, because of its low cost and fast induction, as long as applied with great precision, which requires specific anatomical knowledge of the site of incision. This study aimed to establish the origin and distribution of the brachial plexus of the Blue-fronted Parrot (Amazona aestiva) by anatomic dissection of the skin and musculature of 22 specimens (17 males and 5 females) from the Wild Animals Screening Center of the Federal District after death by natural causes. The dissection work promoted the isolation of the forming roots of the brachial plexus, as well as its ramifications. The brachial plexus was formed by four trunks, including the ventral spinal cord rami segments from C9 to C10, C10 to C11, C11 to T1 and T1 to T2, which joined into a short common trunk, branched into dorsal and ventral cords. The thin nerves subcoracoideus and subscapularis and the branch to the scapulohumeralis muscle originated from the common trunk. The dorsal cord originated the anconeal, axillaris and radialis nerves, while the ventral cord gave origin for the pectoralis cranialis, pectoralis caudalis, coracobrachialis and medianoulnaris. These branches innervated the muscles of the extensor and flexor compartments of the forelimb, pectoral muscles and overlying skin.

title: Effect of calcium concentration on calcite flotation from apatite using carbonic gas

description: Abstract The flotation process currently considered for apatite concentration from the Santa Quitéria phosphate deposit (Brazil), involves bulk flotation of apatite and calcite with anionic collector at pH=10 followed by calcite flotation at pH=5.5, adjusted with H3PO4. Although this concept is efficient from the point of view of separation between apatite and calcite, the intensive use of inorganic acids causes ion accumulation in the process water, especially Ca2+ and PO4 2-, which leads to problems in the flotation stage as well as in the environment. CETEM has been studying a process for the separation of carbonate minerals and apatite that involves the use of carbonic gas injected into the bubble generation system of flotation machines instead of inorganic acids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ca2+ ion concentration on the water during the calcite flotation stage of the Santa Quiteria phosphate ore, between 6 mg/L (standard test) and 670 mg/L (maximun concentration) on the flotation performance in terms of P2O5 grade and its loss and the CaO/P2O5 ratio (RCP). The results indicated a reduction in the selectivity on the flotation of calcite from apatite for Ca2+ concentrations from 6 mg/L to around 285 mg/L. Despite this, the results obtained in this study indicated that the process based on the application of CO2 for the separation of calcite and apatite may be a technical alternative that causes less impact in flotation performance for the phosphate concentration ores with carbonated gangue.

title: The role of bioethics in animal ethics commissions

description: Abstract Guidelines for the use of animals as experimental models transposed bioethics area focusing on the legal area, wich brought the benefit of standardization of physical and biological parameters, focused on animal welfare, but added bureaucratic and legal demands that occupied a reflection and discussion previously aimed at resolving ethical conflicts. This quantitative study aimed to characterize the opinion of members, coordinators and collaborators of ethics committees on how the use of Brazilian animals relates to those committees functioning. The 114 participants demonstrated adherence to the legislation but they pointed to an increase in potentially solving conflicts in the sphere of Bioethics. Although Bioethics has been identified as important for the proper functioning of committees, it has been defined in an unsatisfactory manner, evidencing the need to resume its role of guiding deliberations. This conclusion indicates the need to incorporate members with training in bioethics, invest in the frequent training of the collegiate and researchers involved in animal experimentation.

title: The federal government’s voluntary transfers to municipal solid waste management: a study of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo

description: Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the federal government’s voluntary transfers to programs and actions related to municipal solid waste management (MSWM), providing results of municipalities in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. The methodological strategy was the qualitative exploratory research. Secondary data were obtained from documents and official sources, especially from the Pluriannual Plans, the Transparency Portal and the Agreements Portal. It was found that the concentration of such transfers was precisely on municipalities with high and medium GDP per capita. Moreover, low efficacy was observed in the use of federal resources, which can be attributed to a limited control of the voluntary transfers and of information coordination by the implementing bodies.
