title: RELATIONSHIPS AMONG TRAITS IN BELL PEPPER DERIVED FROM SEEDS WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL QUALITY

description: ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the relationship between morphological variables and production variables in bell pepper plants derived from seeds of different physiological levels. The experiments were carried out in a randomized block design with eight replications in a protected setting at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Treatments included three lots of hybrid Tiberius seeds and one lot of Rubi Giant seeds during Spring-Winter and Autumn-Winter season with different levels of physiological quality as shown by vigor and germination tests. The following characters (variables) were measured: plant height, first fork height, stem diameter, and stem diameter below the first fork after 50 days, 70 days and 90 days of transplanting, average weight of fruits, average production per harvest, total production, average fruit length, and average width of fruits. Next, for each level of vigor was estimated the correlation matrixes, multicollinearity diagnosis, and then path analysis, considering the total production as the main variable.Plants derived from high-, low- and medium vigor seeds whose first fork diameters were greater after 50 days and 70 days of transplanting are more productive during Spring-Winter seeding. Coefficients of correlation and effect of low magnitude were identified in vigor levels (being high, low, medium, and extremely low) during Autumn-Winter season, indicating a weak relationship between cause and effect of explanatory variables measured on total fruit production of bell pepper.

title: Use of prophylactic oral calcium after total thyroidectomy: a prospective study

description: ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of prophylactic oral calcium after total thyroidectomy in the prevention of symptomatic hypocalcemia, and to develop a rational strategy of oral calcium supplementation following this type of surgery. Subjects and methods Prospective study including 47 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy from January 2007 to February 2012. The patients were allocated to one of the following groups: I (no postoperative calcium) or II (oral calcium 3 g per day). Oral calcium was started at the first postoperative day and administered until the sixth postoperative day. The patients were followed up for a minimum of 6 months and evaluated with a minimum of five measurements of ionized calcium: preoperative, 16 hours after surgery, seventh postoperative day, and at postoperative days 90 (PO90) and 180 (PO180). The cohort included three men and 44 women, of whom 24 (51.9%) had benign thyroid disease, and 23 had suspected or confirmed malignant disease. Results When compared with Group II, Group I had significantly higher rates of postoperative biochemical hypocalcemia at PO1 and PO180, and of symptomatic hypocalcemia at PO1, PO7, and PO90. Other data were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion We conclude that postoperative calcium supplementation effectively prevents symptomatic and biochemical hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy, and can be safely used after this procedure. The presented strategy of oral calcium supplementation may be implemented in a viable manner.

title: Interfaces between Evaluation and History Curriculum at High School

description: Abstract: In this article, it is presented the results of a research that investigated the bases of the Programa de Avaliação da Aprendizagem Escolar (PAAE - Program for the Evaluation of School Learning), in the State of Minas Gerais, identifying the way the adopted test items fulfill the announced pedagogical objectives, and the implications of this program in the History curriculum at High School. The methodology used was the analysis of PAAE documents, between 2005 and 2015, of the content of curricular grids, and of test items in the tests created by the program, besides a bibliographical research. The results have indicated a contradiction between the announcement of the innovative character of the items used as pedagogical resources to evaluate the skills and abilities and the hegemonic presence of traditional matters in the tests designed for the program to the detriment of the announced formation modality.

title: The cities and their monuments: a study about the italian immigration in Buenos Aires and Caxias do Sul 1910 - 1954 - 2016

description: Abstract The text is about a study of two Italian immigration’s monuments - the Cristopher Columbus Monument, in Buenos Aires /AR and the National Immigrant Monument, in Caxias do Sul / BR, both built in urban spaces and related to the Italian presence in both South American countries. Being bearers of this identity, both monuments represent not only the communities who built them and their will, but also bring with them memories and tributes from who donated them. Such monuments, at the same time that they are memory spots and places of remembrance, they belong to their countries cultural patrimony. Though they are sensitive to modifications that might follow over time, this urban equipment had, in its trajectory, different destinations.

title: Determinants of prenatal quality in Primary Health Care: the role of Matrix Support in Women’s Health

description: Abstract Background The Matrix Support (MS) in Women’s Health is one of the formative process management initiatives aimed at improving the quality of the Family Health Strategy. Objective Evaluate prenatal care in Primary Health Care units and the influence of MS as a determinant of health care quality in the municipality of Vitória, Espírito Santo state, Brazil. Method A cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted using four quality levels: Level 1, Kotelchuk index adapted by Traldi; Level 2, which adds clinical-obstetric procedures to Level 1; Level 3, which adds laboratory tests to Level 1; Level 4, which jointly analyzes all previous parameters. Results A decline in the adequacy of assistance was observed as the level of analysis becomes more complex. The variables associated with inadequate health quality were high-risk pregnancy (OR: 1.86; 1.02 to 3.38) and absence of MS (OR: 1.66; 1.17 to 2.35). Conclusion The implementation and enhancement of reorganization strategies in health services and practices, such as the Matrix Support, are determinants of quality improvement in prenatal care, and it is important to increase their degree of support.

title: The morality of surgery for aesthetic purposes in accordance with principlist bioethics

description: Abstract The cult of beauty emerged in the West with the goddess Aphrodite, and reigns today in social media, driven by the worship of celebrities’ images. The “fever” of selfies fuels the desire to change. In 2013, Brazil led the world ranking of plastic surgery, overtaking the United States, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery report. This excessive practice concerns the organizations responsible for medical practice, such as the Brazilian Federal Council of Medicine and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. As they have a huge impact on patients’ lives, aesthetic surgeries should preferably be carried out by specialized doctors. Patients have the right to have these surgeries and to choose their doctors; nevertheless, their autonomy is not absolute. The professional has the duty to inform the patient about the risks and contraindications of the procedure, and has the right to refuse to perform surgery if it is considered potentially harmful or hazardous to the patient’s health.

title: Let's have lunch! A study on the relation between hospitality, service quality and experience marketing and guest satisfaction in restaurants

description: Abstract Justification of the topic: The city of São Paulo is the region of the country with the highest concentration of restaurants and bars, employing around 780,000 people, and in 2015 revenue amounted to over BRL$ 30 billion. From the perspective of hospitality, service quality and the experience while consuming the product are intimately related to satisfaction and consequently, to loyalty. Therefore, this study is initially justified according to these aspects. Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of hospitality, service quality, and experience marketing on the perception of satisfaction among lunchtime restaurant guests on weekdays in the city of São Paulo and their loyalty. Methodology/Design: This study is characterized as quantitative descriptive and used a questionnaire with a seven-point Likert scale. For the data collection, we used the forms tool on the Google Docs platform and the data collection period was in March and April, 2017. We used non-probability sampling composed of 269 participants and the multivariate data analysis technique of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings: We observed that the sample was predominantly female, over 30 years of age, who spent between BRL$ 30.00 and BRL$ 50.00 per day and with higher education. We would like to point out that despite the positive empirical results of the study, they should not be generalized, since this sample characterizes a specific group in the city of São Paulo. Originality: This study provides new insights for the literature on consumer behavior specifically in the areas of hospitality and experience marketing in an important sector in terms of revenue and number of employees in the greater Brazilian metropolitan area.

title: Student knowledge about the use of animals in scientific research

description: Abstract Although the media has currently presented information on Bioethics, it is still poorly explored in school environments. Based on this, we decided to check the knowledge and ideas of students from two schools in the City of Rio de Janeiro. A questionnaire was applied and the students could comment on the theme “use of animals in scientific research”. After analyzing the data, we verified that the students’ knowledge is fragmented and that little of this knowledge seems to have been constructed in the school. However, the students showed interest in the subject, although some of them had no clear opinion about it. Our results show that the teacher who is aware of his role becomes an instrument for the formation of critical citizens, and that the reflection of the students about Bioethics is still nor encouraged enough, which can negatively influence decision-making in society.

title: The federal funding of the oral health policy in Brazil between 2003 and 2017

description: ABSTRACT This study described and analyzed the federal financial transfers for the Oral Health Policy in Brazil (PNSB), in the period 2003-2017. A retrospective analysis of the federal funding of the PNSB was carried out with data collected from the National Health Fund base under the headings related to oral health with correction of values by Consumer Price Index (IPCA) until 2017. The historical series of spending for oral health care in 2003-2017 showed a growing federal spending up to 2012, falling at the beginning of 2013, maintaining values from 2013 to 2016 and a slight reduction in 2017, reaching R$ 1,059,555,548.48 this past year. This meant that the percentage of federal government transfer to oral health in relation to the total transfer rate increased from 0.62% in 2003 to 1.63% in 2017. There was an increase in the percentage share of Specialized Care financing, mainly as of 2013, from 2.3% in 2008 to 21.6% in 2017. Primary Care received 97.3% of federal funding in 2003 and only 78.3% in 2017. The investment has been low. Fiscal austerity measures and changes in funding blocks may indicate an institutionalized path of reduction of federal transfer in health, which may impact this particular sectoral policy.
