title: Analytic hierarchy process to prioritize ecological risk assessment in contaminated sites by oil and derivatives

description: ABSTRACT Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) is an important stage in the management of contaminated sites. However, the absence of criteria for the selection of target areas for the application of ERA in Brazil, or the simple adoption of a binary criterion (absence/presence of ecological receptors) is not sufficient for the prioritization of ERA. The definition of prioritization criteria is fundamental in developing countries with great ecological diversity and scarcity of technical and financial resources. In this context, the objective of this study comprised the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to classify the areas with higher priority of application of ERA, considering the specificities of contamination scenarios. A survey of international criteria for inclusion and exclusion of ERA, the integration of these criteria in the AHP method and the application of the methodology in twelve hydrocarbon-contaminated areas were pursued. The results indicated that the AHP approach has the potential to assist environmental agencies, consultants and stakeholders in the management of contaminated sites to measure and adapt actions to the specificities of each site in a more judicious way, prioritizing the application of available resources for the areas of greater ecological relevance.

title: Validity Evidence of the Young Compensation Inventory (YCI) for the population of Rio Grande do Sul

description: Abstract This study aimed to examine the factorial structure and evidence of validity of the Young Compensation Inventory (YCI) for the population of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. For this purpose, 504 adults from the general population participated, with a mean age of 34.2 years (SD = 12.9). The instruments used were the Young Schema Questionnaire - Brief Version (YSQ-S3), the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90-R), and the YCI. Data were collected using an online platform. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to verify the distribution of items in common factors, and convergent validity, with a non-parametric Spearman correlation with SCL-90-R and YSQ-S3. Four factors were interpreted: Domination and Manipulation (α = 0.85 ω = 0.71); Obsession and Organization (α = 0.75 ω = 0.75); Rebellion and Independence (α = 0.73 ω = 0.69); and Search for Recognition (α = 0.81 ω = 0.91). The result of construct validity proved to be adequate according to the theory. It was concluded that the adapted version has good psychometric properties.

title: A new approach for defining water security indicators for water utilities

description: ABSTRACT Understanding water security requires the use of indices, which are established from indicators. The dearth of indicators to compose an index to assess water security in the public water supply was the motivation for this study. The main objective of this paper was to present a novel method capable of identifying indicators for water supply at a local scale. In order to do so, modifications were made to a cause-effect process analysis method, which included the aspects and impacts generated by the parties involved. The method was applied in the municipality of Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. The indicators were verified with experts and stakeholders. Results showed that, for the area of study, 34 indicators are capable of adequately composing a water security index.

title: SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF UNDERGRADUATE CHEMISTRY STUDENTS: THE CASE OF UNESP-ARARAQUARA COURSES

description: Considering the recent expansion and democratization of access to Higher Education in Brazil, this article aims to characterize and compare the socioeconomic profiles of students who are entering the Bachelor (BAC), teacher education degree (LIC) and Chemical Engineering (ENG) at UNESP - Araraquara. A quantitative, longitudinal study was performed according to sociological interpretation of Pierre Bourdieu. The data stands for a socioeconomic questionnaire and the performance on the entrance exam of 1544 students between 2003 and 2018. A Socioeconomic Index was built through a Factorial Analysis and a Multiple Correspondence Analysis was performed to compare the profile of students of three courses. The results show that the students’ profiles are different, despite becoming similar in recent years, and the demand for these courses has been decreasing since 2016. There are three factors that explain these changes: i) young people’s lack of interest in scientific careers; ii) low attractiveness of the teaching career; iii) the creation of a new course modality in the institution (the ENG). Studies like this can contribute to identify, evaluate, and implement actions to democratize the access and permanence of students in Higher Education.

title: Do the previous crop and top-dressing nitrogen fertilization change the yield and physiological and sanitary quality of common bean seeds?

description: Abstract: The aim was to evaluate the effects of previous crop and top-dressing nitrogen fertilization on the yield and physiological and sanitary quality of common bean seeds. The design used was in randomized blocks in a split-plot scheme, with four replications. The plots were represented by three previous crops (sole maize, maize + Urochloa ruziziensis and sole U. ruziziensis), preceding common bean. The subplots consisted of N doses (urea) applied as top-dressing (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg N.ha-1) when the common bean had four expanded leaves. Physiological quality and sanitary quality of the seeds were evaluated through germination tests, first count, emergence speed index, accelerated aging, seedling emergence in the field and pathogen incidence, in addition to crude protein content, 100-seed weight and yield. The study factors did not interfere in the sanitary quality of the seeds. Under U. ruziziensis straw, the highest seed yield was obtained with the N dose of 115 kg.ha-1, while under sole maize and intercropping straw, the increase in yield was linear. Previous crop with U. ruziziensis, whether cultivated as sole crop or intercropped with maize, promotes greater physiological quality of common bean seeds, while top-dressing nitrogen fertilization does not interfere with quality, weight and protein content of the seeds.

title: Age Diversity Management in Organizations Scale: Development and Evidence of Validity

description: Abstract This study aimed to develop the Age Diversity Management in Organizations scale for the Brazilian context and verify its evidence of validity. The process included five steps: proposal of its definition and development of the items according to the literature; content and semantic validity by judges; semantic validity by the target population; exploratory factorial analysis (EFA); and confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA). The EFA sample consisted of 674 workers from different organizations and the CFA of 722 workers. The final version of the scale was composed of 20 items (α =.91), divided into four factors: retirement preparation practices (5 items, α =.93); equal treatment for workers of different ages (6 items, a=.85), training to promote age diversity (5 items, α =.81), and management practices for older workers (4 items, α =.72). The theoretical and practical implications as well as the limitations of this measure are discussed.

title: Consumer Judgment on the Practice of Greenwashing: Scale Development and Validation

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop and validate a scale to measure consumer judgment about the practice of greenwashing. For this, quantitative research was adopted as methodological procedure, which was conducted through a statistical technique characterized as multivariate analysis. Thus, in a first step, theoretical studies and reports on the characterization and/or identification of greenwashing were surveyed and analyzed, which allowed for the adoption of six main dimensions that were evidenced in a common manner. From these dimensions, some assertions were elaborated and reviewed by a jury of experts, validating the data collection instrument. With this done, two sequential quantitative surveys were conducted: the first with 381 respondents, which allowed the exploratory factor analysis to be performed, and the second with 156 participants, enabling the confirmatory factor analysis to be performed using the structural equation modeling technique. As a contribution, a satisfactory final model composed of 13 assertions was obtained.

title: Migratory pattern of the coronavirus disease 2019 and high fatality rates among kidney transplant recipients: report from the Brazilian Multicenter Cohort Study

description: Abstract Introduction: The unprecedented coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected kidney transplant (KT) recipients, with worldwide fatality rates around 25%. Considering the well-known Brazilian socio-demographic disparities, this report describes for the first time the main outcomes of COVID-19 in KT recipients according to Brazilian geographic regions. Methods: This multicenter national retrospective analysis included data from KT recipients with confirmed COVID-19 between March and November 2020. Results: Thirty-five of the 81 centers (57% of KT activity in Brazil) reported 1,680 patients with COVID-19. The Northeast was the first to reach the peak in the number of infections. The Southeast, due to its population density, contributed with the largest number of patients. Patients had a median age of 52 years, 76% had hypertension and 34% diabetes, 75% were recipients of a deceased donor, and the time interval between diagnosis and transplantation was 5.9 years. In 53% of patients, immunosuppression was adjusted, and clinical support varied according to geographic region. Hospitalization was required for 65% of the patients, 35% of them needed intensive care, 25% mechanical ventilation, and 23% renal replacement therapy. The 90-day overall fatality was 21%, being 23% in the Southeast, 16% in the Northeast, and 19% in the Central-west and South regions. Conclusion: The migratory pattern of the pandemic among KT recipients followed that of the general population and the outcomes were influenced by regional features. COVID-19 in KT recipients was associated with high utilization of health-care resources and higher fatality rates than those reported in the general population.

title: K2O SUPPORTED ON NATURAL ZEOLITE: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM SUNFLOWER OIL

description: Biodiesel is a renewable fuel, a substitute for fossil diesel, which is important for reducing GHG in Brazil. Therefore, this work aims to synthesize and characterize the catalyst using the support of natural zeolite impregnated with K2O and apply it in the production of biodiesel through the transesterification reaction. Through the analysis of characterizations such as XRD, characteristic peaks of Clinoptilolite and Mordenite zeolites were verified in the natural zeolite, in addition to evidencing the characteristic peaks of KI and K2O in this microporous support. Thermal and FTIR analyzes revealed the presence of KI and K2O in the presence of the decomposition region of composite compounds (500 to 800 °C) and corresponding vibration bands, while EDS analysis indicated the efficiency of KI to K2O conversion after calcination. To evaluate the application of the catalyst in the production of biodiesel, the following reaction conditions were studied: percentage of catalyst in relation to oil mass (6% and 8%), methanol:oil mass ratio (15: 1 and 30: 1) and temperature (60 °C and 90 °C). The catalyst presents good results reaching a conversion of 98.96% in esters using 6% catalyst, mass ratio oil:methanol 1:30 and reaction temperature of 90 °C.
