title: Care flows of moderate and severe burned patients in regions and health care networks of Minas Gerais

description: Abstract Background Burns, a problem of high incidence in the general population, reach people of all ages and social levels. Severity variation involves care at all levels of care. In 2000, the Brazilian Ministry of Health determined the organization of state burn centers specialized in the assistance of high complexity burns. Objective The configuration of care networks influences the health-disease process of the populations, organizes the flow of patients in the search for care, especially in the public system (SUS), reinforcing the logic of regionalized and hierarchical networks of care. Method This article mapped the flow of patients with severe burns under SUS, in the state of Minas Gerais, from January 2013 to December 2015. Results Ten macro-regions of health were not self-sufficient in the hospitalizations of their patients. The macro-region Center, city of Belo Horizonte, stood out as an important assistance network to the burned patient in the state. The North Macro-region was the best example of a network according to the SUS regionalization guidelines. Conclusion The study identified gaps in the distribution of assistance and pointed to the need for investments to create reference centers with equitable distribution in the state of Minas Gerais.

title: Physiological performance of açai seeds (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) stored with different moisture contents and treated with fungicide

description: Abstract: The expansion of açai production has increased the importance of management of seeds used for replanting or expanding the plantation areas. Thus, the aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of açai seeds with different moisture contents, treated or untreated with fungicide, and stored for 180 days. The seeds were divided into three moisture levels (35%, 30% and 20%), and with or without fungicide treatment, with four storage evaluation periods (0, 60, 120 and 180 days). They were packed in plastic bags and kept in natural environment. The experimental design was completely randomized, with a 3 x 2 x 4 factorial scheme (moisture contents x treated or untreated with fungicide x period of evaluation), with four replications of 50 seeds each. The following tests were conducted: moisture content, germination, tetrazolium test, seedling emergence, seedling emergence speed and X-ray. Açai seeds with 35% and 30% moisture contents treated with fungicide showed a better physiological quality in relation to the untreated ones. Storage longer than 120 days reduced seed germination to values below 50%, regardless of whether they were treated or not with fungicide, although the reduction was greater in untreated seeds. The fungicide treatment is efficient in controlling fungi in açai seeds with 30% and 20% moisture content for up to 180 days of storage, and in seeds with 35% moisture content for up to 60 days of storage.

title: Anthropogenic Disturbances Affect the Relationship Between Spectral Indices and the Biometric Variables of Brazilian Savannas

description: ABSTRACT According to previous studies involving biometric variables modeling using remote sensing (RS), data did not consider the effects of anthropogenic disturbance as relevant factor. The main objective of this study was to model aboveground biomass (AGB) and total wood volume (TWV) of Brazilian Savanna biome using vegetation indices (VI) from LANDSAT 5 TM. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and random forest (RF) algorithm were applied across 641 field plots of cerrado sensu stricto of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, comparing two models: non-stratified, and stratified according to plot’s anthropization degree. AGB and TWV obtained from non-anthropized plots presented linear relation with VIs (R2 = 0.82 and 0.74, respectively) and, on the other hand, presented nonlinear relation when plots were affected by anthropogenic disturbances or were not stratified. This finding helps improving estimates by stratifying plots into their anthropization degree, mainly in the Brazilian Savanna biome undergoing anthropogenic disturbances.

title: Abundance and distribution of Portunidae larval phases (Crustacea: Brachyura) in the estuarine and coastal region of the Patos Lagoon, southern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: The abundance and distribution of larval phases of the Portunidae found in the estuary of the Patos Lagoon and the coastal region were studied during two years (1995 and 1999). A conical net (165 cm long, 60 cm mouth, and 330 µm mesh) equipped with a flowmeter was towed for three minutes at 2 knots at six stations within the estuary and four stations in the coastal region. Samplings were carried out on the surface and near the bottom. At each sampling location, the salinity and temperature were also recorded. In 1995, the zoeae of Arenaeus cribrarius (Lamarck, 1818), Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896 and Achelous spinicarpus Stimpson, 1871 were caught, resulting in a total abundance of 121.98 ind.100 m-3 (90.95 ind.100 m-3 on the surface and 31.03 ind.100 m-3 near the bottom). A total of 452.27 ind.100 m-3 were caught in the megalopa phase (13.49 ind.100 m-3 on the surface and 438.78 ind.100 m-3 near the bottom). In 1999, only zoeae of C. sapidus were caught, resulting in a total abundance of 419.78 ind.100 m-3 (386.98 ind.100 m-3 on the surface and 32.8 ind.100 m-3 near the bottom). Megalopae of these three species were caught, resulting in a total abundance of 179.91 ind.100 m-3 (25.38 ind.100 m-3 on surface and 154.53 ind.100 m-3 near the bottom). Summer was the season with the highest abundance of larvae in both years. During spring and summer, spawning was observed in the estuarine region of the Patos Lagoon.

title: Neighborhood issues discussed upon Paul Auster’s movie Smoke

description: Abstract This article discusses the movie Smoke (1995), by Paul Auster and Wayne Wang. Despite being a work of fiction, it was possible to extract elements to analyze urban dynamics and social relations established around a store in Brooklyn. The arguments used to discuss Smoke were found in the literature, other books from Auster, and also in interviews given by the author, in which he provides three arguments that were used for the development of this text. The listed subjects are: the city of New York, to be presented along with the research on its morphology; the importance of neighborhood relationships established around the dealer, and the relationship between user and place; and finally, the construction of the screenplay, subject of huge importance considering the author scale, discussed from the interweaving of the stories, the relationship between author and character, and the relationship with the original story, Auggie Wren´s Christmas story, published in The New York Times.

title: Writing a Research Paper at the University: Authorship vs Plagiarism

description: Abstract: Considering the need of producing academic texts at the university, many undergraduate students do it by copying texts that were already published. In this study we discuss the presence of plagiarism versus authorship marks in the introduction of academic articles produced by freshmen in a licenciateship degree. Therefore, we emphasize the issue of plagiarism and authorship, particularly from the perspective of the enunciative Bakhtinian studies and then present the theoretical basis of Literacies, with the most recent studies on Literacies and Socio-Rhetorics. Data analysis revealed and confirmed academic writing as a complex activity, given the practice of plagiarism found in the analyzed productions. The lack of knowledge of academic writing and of the subject matter itself contributed to the practice of plagiarism.

title: Tourism destinations’ image: assessment vis-à-vis the experience in theory and in the service-centric economy

description: Abstract This paper assesses the image of tourist destinations as products in light of the experience theory, in order to evaluate relationships between both constructs. A scale is set forth to measure the image of coastal destinations, with different attractions, and to analyze the internal arrangement of the imaginary factors in light of the experience theory and the destinations as tourist products. The research is exploratory and descriptive with quantitative approach, that surveyed potential Brazilian tourists who were asked to choose one (among eight) national coastal destinations to evaluate. A non-probabilistic sample of 178 consumers of different ages and income levels from various Brazilian states was surveyed. This work advances over previous theory, introducing an innovative way to see the image of destinations in the light of two factors that affect the decision to visit or not to visit a place: the arrangement of destinations as touristic products, and the experience expected to experiment when visiting the destinations.

title: Menu of sustainability: evaluation of water footprint in a university dining restaurant

description: Water is a key resource for the production of food and meals. This study evaluated the water footprint (WF) of menus consisting of cereal, legumes, meat, garnish, salad and dessert at a public university in the city of Porto Alegre / RS. Data collection took place between September 2 and 13, 2013. The biweekly menu was assessed to verify the amount of food used for making 1800 meals (lunch and dinner). The size of the food's water footprint was estimated based upon the scientific literature. The data were calculated in absolute frequencies, in percentages and averages. It was found that vegetable products (cereals, legumes, vegetables, and fruits) represented 65.5% of the total raw material in kilograms, but were responsible for only 22.1% of the total WF. Animal products (eggs, meat and chicken) were responsible for 77.9% of the WF. This assessment of the WF of menus identified a daily average per capita of 2099.1 litres per meal, and meat was the largest contributor to this result. Evaluating the water footprint of foods used in menu planning fosters the sustainability of the planet's natural resources and encourages new habits and methods of sustainable food consumption.

title: Prevalence of overweight and obesity in the first year of life in the Family Health Strategies

description: Abstract Background Childhood overweight and obesity represent one of the main public health problems in the world, but there is a scarcity of prevalence records in Brazil during the first year of life. Objective Verify the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the first year of life of infants enrolled in the Family Health Strategies, and to identify whether there is a difference in weight-per-age, height-per-age, weight/height-per-age and body mass index (BMI)-per-age in relation to sex, age group and socioeconomic level. Method A cross-sectional study was performed, in which weight and height data were collected from the Child Health Handbook. Results The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 7.2% according to the weight/height index, and 4.8% for the BMI index. Infants with an A-B socioeconomic status had higher BMI-per-age when compared to children at level C (p=0.048). Infants aged 6 to 12 months had higher weight-per-age (p=0.02) and height-per-age (p=0.01) than infants younger than six months. Conclusion The prevalence of overweight and obesity in the first year of life depends on the index used for classification. The socioeconomic status may interfere with BMI-per-age values, and the age group may interfere with weight-per-age and height-per-age indexes.

title: Map of the potential geotechnical susceptibility for operational pit slopes

description: Abstract This article proposes a procedure to elaborate a map that presents the potential risk of failure occurrence in the operational slopes of open pit mines. First, it is necessary to collect the available geological-geotechnical data and perform a field mapping, in order to verify and validate the most representative parameters and to characterize the discontinuity families of the rock mass. Then, the mine should be sectorized, considering all the data collected, the geometry of the operational slopes and its development until the final pit. The next step will be to define and to evaluate which failure modes have greater or lesser potential to occur in the pit and to assign weights to them. In this study, the weathering, planar failure, and plane circular failure potentials were evaluated. As a result, it is possible to develop a map with the susceptibility level of the sectors. This map will help make technical and managerial decisions in order to reduce the risk level of the sectors and to promote an increase in the operational safety of the mine.
