title: Mathematical model for body fat percentage of children with cerebral palsy

description: Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to develop a specific mathematical model to estimate the body fat percentage (BF%) of children with cerebral palsy, based on a Brazilian population of patients with this condition. Method This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study included 63 Caucasian children with cerebral palsy, both males and females, aged between three and ten-years-old. Participants were assessed for functional motor impairment using the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and skinfold thickness. Total body mass (TBM) and skinfolds thickness from: triceps (Tr), biceps (Bi), Suprailiac (Si), medium thigh (Th), abdominal (Ab), medial calf (Ca) and subscapular (Se) were collected. Fat mass (FM) was estimated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (gold standard). Results The model was built from multivariate linear regression; FM was set as a dependent variable and other anthropometric variables, age and sex, were set as independent variables. The final model was established as F%=((0.433xTBM + 0.063xTh + 0.167xSi - 6.768) ÷ TBM) × 100, the R2 value was 0.950, R2adjusted=0.948 and the standard error of estimate was 1.039 kg. Conclusion This method was shown to be valid to estimate body fat percentage of children with cerebral palsy. Also, the measurement of skinfolds on both sides of the body showed good results in this modelling.

title: The Spanish Banks in face of the Corporate Social Responsibility Standards: previous analysis of the financial crisis

description: ABSTRACT Transparency of information in the field of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is common to various standards. In recent years there has been a proliferation of standards and models for the formalization of CSR strategies. The objective is to assess the degree of implementation of standards of normalization. The analysis was conducted with data from the year 2008, coinciding with the first signs of the financial crisis, serving as a reference point to analyze the effect of the crisis. The field work was conducted using a survey answered by 57 Spanish credit institutions. We found a low degree of implementation of standards. The GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and the ISO 14001 stood out. In view of the orientation of credit institutions towards the market, Banks have incorporated much more elaborated and comprehensive quality standards than other credit institutions, such as the implementation of the standard AS 1000 that is equivalent to the joint implementation of the ISO 14000 and 9000.

title: Effect of vitamins and sterol as foliar additives in the development of Bombyx mori L. and influence of the application mode

description: The present study was aimed to evaluate the effects of different methods of foliar application of the additives nandrolone decanoate (anabolic steroid) 0,5%; ascorbic acid (vitamin C) 0,5%; retinol palmitate (vitamin A) 0,5%; and retinol acetate (vitamin A) 1,0% on some biological parameters of the silkworm. The experiment of application method (foliar spray prior to delivery, after delivery and soaking before feeding) used: nandrolone decanoate 0.5%, ascorbic acid 0.5%, and retinol palmitate 0.5%. The test of insect development evaluated: duration and larval viability, weight of cocoon, cocooning rate, liquid silk content, adult longevity, number of eggs per female and rising up time. For the application of foliar additives, the following were determined: weight gain, length, diameter and abdomen diameter of fifth instar larvae, and length, diameter and weight of silk gland. The results showed that although ascorbic acid provided the best value for the development of the caterpillars body, it did not correspond to significant increase in production; retinol palmitate did not affect the larvae body development; retinol acetate and retinol palmitate prolong the larval period, without, however, significantly altering the production parameters. The immersion method of leaves before being delivered to the caterpillars is the most feasible for the foliar application of additives.

title: PHENOLOGY OF Calotropis procera (Ait.) W.T. Aiton ACCESSIONS BASED ON MORPHOPHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the phenology of Calotropis procera accessions based on morphophysiological characteristics. Seeds of 70 C. procera accessions were collected between October 2015 and January 2016 in areas where the species naturally occurs in Northeastern Brazil. These accessions make up the current germplasm collection of the National Institute of the Semi-arid (INSA). The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at INSA, in Campina Grande - PB, from January to September in 2016. The plants were cultivated in plastic pots filled with soil. Fertilization was conducted according to soil analysis recommendations and plants were irrigated at a 3-day interval. Morphophysiological characteristics were recorded 30 days after sowing (DAS) and 30-day intercalated evaluations were conducted up to 240 DAS. In addition, physiological indexes were estimated and leaf fall, flowering, and fruiting were evaluated at 120 DAS. Mean of each characteristic was obtained using the adjustment and the selection of regression models to explain the growth of C. procera based on the coefficient of determination. The vegetative stage of C. procera occurs during the 240 DAS, with continuous fall and production of leaves, while the reproductive stage begins at 153 DAS, continuing until 222 DAS, depending on the accession, making emission of inflorescences constant on plants after the beginning of flowering. The physiological indexes are efficient to estimate the growth of C. procera accessions.

title: Shell occupation by the land hermit crab Coenobita violascens (Anomura, Coenobitidae) from Phuket Island, Thailand

description: Abstract Shell occupation by the land hermit crab Coenobita violascens Heller, 1862 was investigated from January 2011 to March 2012 on Phuket Island in the Andaman Coast of Thailand. The samples of C. violascens were collected monthly using multiple quadrat sampling. Twenty shell species from 11 families were found occupying by C. violascens, which were mainly marine gastropods (90%). The three most common occupied shell species were Chicoreus brunneus (Link, 1807) (21.3% of hermits), followed by Filifusus filamentosus (Röding, 1798) (14.9%) and Laevistrombus canarium (Linnaeus, 1758) (14.9%). Biconical shells and those with ovate apertures were the most commonly occupied shell types. Furthermore, individual C. violascens probably occupy the shells of at least three different gastropod species during their lifetime. Interestingly, C. violascens shows a tendency of occupying specific categories of shells in relation to shell species, shape and aperture shape. Other aspects of shell occupation by C. violascens compared to congeneric species are also discussed.

title: Identifying needs and possible solutions: with the word, elderly people in Primary Health Care

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to understand the perception of elderly people about health care promoted by professionals from the Family Health Strategy and the Family Health Support Center in order to meet their needs. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative methodological approach, based on the perspective of users of Primary Health Care in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The focal group was used as a methodological resource, and the data were analyzed based on the Content Analysis method, in the thematic modality. The results were classified into three thematic units: (I) Need for good living conditions; (II) Need for access to health services; and (III) Possibilities to meet the needs listed. The realization of this research shows that the needs of the elderly, in the scenario studied, demand intersectoral actions. It also points out elements for a critical reflection on the importance of adopting strategies at the three levels of management to improve social determinants and reduce the health problems of these people.

title: VARIATION IN THE SENSITIVITY OF WANDERING JEW PLANTS TO GLUFOSINATE AMMONIUM

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify the response of wandering jew (Commelina benghalensis L.) plants to different doses of glufosinate ammonium and the sensitivity of plants populations to the herbicide. Two studies were conducted, both in a greenhouse, and were repeated at different times. In the first study, two experiments were conducted to examine the dose-response curve using seven different doses of the glufosinate ammonium herbicide (0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600 g a.i. ha-1) with four replicates each. In the second study, which examined the range in sensitivity of wandering jew plants to glufosinate ammonium, 26 plants were sprayed with a dose of 200 g a.i. ha-1 herbicide. Visual assessments of percent injury and measurements of leaf tissue ammonium content were conducted. The use of untreated wandering jew control plants allowed for the correlation of glufosinate ammonium treatment with the ammonium concentrations in treated plant tissues; the ammonium concentration increased as a function of herbicide application, albeit not linearly with the dose. Ammonium content varied among individuals of the wandering jew plant population.

title: Access to basic and analytical sanitation of cholera: a quantitative analysis between 2010 and 2015

description: ABSTRACT Health conditions are among the main factors leading to human health damages, particularly concerning infectious diseases by water transmission. Among those cholera is highlighted in this work: the virus infection of Vibrio cholerae toxicity (serogroups O1 and O139), which is characterized by marked diarrhea. Using incidence data on cholera (CI) and the population percentage of Access to Sanitation (AS) collected throughout the world, the objective of this work is to quantify, highlight and discuss relationship between those two indicators over the period from 2010 to 2015, besides pointing out other possible magnifying factors of socioenvironmental vulnerability to this pathology. Over that period, 1,575,168 cases of the illness were analyzed, showing more frequent occurrences in the region of the African-Asian subcontinent and isolated countries in the other continents, such as Haiti (America) and Papua New Guinea (Oceania), which also presented serious problems regarding the access to sanitation services. Thus, although we suggest other socioenvironmental factors to also be analyzed sanitation conditions proved to be an expressive determinant for the incidence of cholera in all regions worldwide.

title: Stratigraphy, tectonics and detrital zircon U-Pb (LA-ICP-MS) geochronology of the Rio Preto Belt and northern Paramirim corridor, NE, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: Two important Proterozoic metasedimentary sequences, the Rio Preto and Santo Onofre Groups, crop out along the northwestern margin of the São Francisco craton and in northern Paramirim corridor, respectively. The Rio Preto Group, involved in the eponymous fold-thrust belt along the northwestern cratonic boundary, comprises the Formosa (garnet schist, quartz-mica schist, quartzite, chlorite-sericite schist and ferriferous quartz schist) and Canabravinha (quartzite, micaceous quartzite, metarhytmite, phylite, schist and metaturbidite) formations. The Santo Onofre Group occurs exclusively in the Paramirim corridor, and is composed of quartzite and minor carbonaceous or Mn-rich phylite. These units record sedimentation in shallow to deep-water marine settings related to rift basins, and were deformed and metamorphosed under greenschist facies conditions during the Brasiliano orogeny. Here we present 427 new detrital zircon U-Pb ages, which constrain the maximum depositional ages of ca. 971 Ma for the Santo Onofre Group, ca. 912 Ma for the Canabravinha Formation, and ca. 965 Ma for the Formosa Formation of the Rio Preto Group. Our data suggests that the Santo Onofre and the Rio Preto Groups accumulated in two distinct basin settings. The latter, composed mostly of sandy rocks, would represent a relatively stable, shallow-marine shelf environment. The Rio Preto Group, with metadiamictite, quartzite, pelitic and rhythmitic rocks, represents a shallow to deep marine environment influenced by gravity flows. Both groups were probably deposited in the Late Tonian, and are potential correlatives of the lower (pre-glacial) units of the Macaúbas Group of the Araçuaí belt.
