title: Determination of a performance index of a sanitary sewage service. Case study: City of Campina Grande, Paraíba.

description: ABSTRACT The contamination of water resources by wastewater is a major concern of water protection. The use of tools to assist the water management process is of utmost importance to improve the sanitation service. This study aims to determine a performance index of a sanitary sewage service for the city of Campina Grande (IDSES-CG), Paraíba. A number of indicators on sewer service quality, operation and maintenance were selected based on existing methodologies, and taking into account criteria such as coherence with regional characteristics, data accessibility and reliability of the source. The selected indicators were calculated, standardized and weighted so that the IDSES-CG could be determined. Based on a nominal scale, the situation involving the sewage service in the city was evaluated and then classified as fair. This study also discussed some of the quality indicators in order to identify the most problematic areas regarding the sewage system.

title: Platforms for scholarly books in open access and their representation on Twitter: metrics of disclosure, discovery, and evaluation

description: Abstract This article explores the Twitter performances of four platforms that publish, aggregate, and disseminate open access academic books: Scientifi c Electronic Library Online-Livros, Directory of Open Access Books, Open Access Publishing in European Networks, and OpenEdition Books. We followed these institutions’ posts on Twitter between July 8 and 18, 2019, mapping their indicators. The objectivewas to evaluate whether the observed metrics of attention and influence could increase the circulation and reach of academic books in open access, contributing to their dissemination, discovery, and evaluation. To interpret the metrics generated on Twitter, we used the statistical tools Follor.me and TweetReach, which provide analytical reports that reveal each profile’s engagement, perceptions and its actual and potential reach. After verifying these metrics, we also investigated users’ experiences and the implications of the use, aimingto understand the range of possible reactions followers had regarding the content the platforms disclosed. The results showed that the posts aimed primarily at promotion and dissemination. Followers’ manifestations, in turn, reverberate the posts through replicas and responses, maximizing the effects of use, repercussion, and influence. While that does not attest to the quality of the content, it provides important indications about the readership, helping editors identify emerging themes and evaluate strategies for the dissemination of academic books in open access.

title: Anxiety of parents and children in dental care

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the prevalence and association of parents’ and children’s anxiety concerning socioeconomic variables and child’s behavior during dental care. Methods: This was a quantitative, observational, transversal and descriptive study. Data collection was performed through a questionnaire aiming at sociodemographic data and dental experience as well as Venham Picture Test, Corah Dental Anxiety Scales and Frankl Anxiety Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test), α = 0.05. Results: The sample consisted of 7 to 9 year- old children (57.9%.), of whom 72.6% were submitted to invasive procedures. The prevalence of anxiety among children was 43.2% (n = 41). Regarding parents / guardians, the prevalence of anxiety was 88.4% (n = 84). A significant association was found between the dental appointment experience and the child’s anxiety (p = 0.050) using the VPT. A significant association between anxiety and the type of dental procedure (p = 0.017) as well as the child’s experience (p = 0.000) using the Frankl scale. Conclusion: There was no association between anxiety and socioeconomic variables. In the variables related to dental experiences, a significant association was found between the experience of the dental appointment and the anxiety of the child using the VPT scale. An association between anxiety and the type of procedure was observed, as well as dental appointment experience, using Frankl scale.

title: The Open Government partnership as a platform for the advancement of Open Science in Brazil

description: Abstract Open Government and Open Science are converging movements, since research carried out in universities and government institutes generates a large amount of data, information and knowledge. As an emergent phenomenon, however, there is a gap in the literature with regards to Open Science and its impact on governmental research and development organizations. From this perspective, this paper aims to report the participative construction of a national commitment under the theme ‘Innovation and Open Government in Science’, proposed and committed to by Brazil in its 4th National Action Plan on Open Government. The methodology applied for the construction of this commitment was developed and executed by the Executive Group of the Inter-ministerial Committee responsible for the Open Government Partnership activities in the Country. The 4th National Action Plan of the Open Government Partnership was published in October 2018 and actions associated with it are in progress. Preliminary results show the instrumentality of the Open Government Partnership for the construction of a collaborative strategy in support of Open Science in Brazil, in which the main actors of the national scientific system participate.

title: Alternative metric for open government data in Latin America

description: Abstract The objective of this article is to use the DGABr, an alternative metric created, in a doctoral thesis of 2018, to evaluate the Open Government Data of Brazil, to measure the open government data of other Latin American countries. The overall objective was subdivided into three specific objectives: (1) Identify the countries of Latin America that have defi ned access to information/opendata policy legislation; (2) Identify the most comprehensive legislation and criteria for assessing open government data; and (3) Analyzethe DGABr based on other legislation and propose adjustments for its use in other countries. In this sense, the legislation on access to information of Latin American countries was investigated, based on the Global Right to Information Rating ranking, which assesses legislation on access to information worldwide. The legislation of Mexico was chosen as reference for comparison with the DGABr,having reached in the ranking, the highest score in Latin America. Analyzing Mexican legislation, items to be included in the DGABr wereidentified and many similarities were already evaluated by the DGABr. It is concluded that the DGABr allows adaptations and can be used in different contexts and countries of Latin America.

title: The role of “Minha casa, minha vida” program in the cities building process: the configurational perspective

description: Abstract The analysis of the literature review defines the spatial fragmentation based on a patchwork pattern as one of the main features of the Brazilian urban fabric. Considering that the recent housing policy, by providing a significance resources to build houses in “Minha Casa, Minha Vida” Program (PMCMV), impacts substantially the Brazilian cities, by either expanding or consolidating the urban grid, this paper explores the relationship between the national housing policies associated with the PMCMV and the urban configuration. The research focus is morphological, according to the theoretical, methodological and technical approach offered by the Theory of the Social Logic of Space (Space Syntax), considering a comparative and exploratory perspective. The analysis are focused in the developments contracted in the “Fundo de Arrendamento Residencial – FAR” category, in 24 Brazilian capitals, aiming at discussing to what extent these real estate developments caused impact in the urban network, taking into account a relational perspective. The evaluated hypothesis is that the new areas developed by means of the PMCMV follow the same fragmentary tendency identified in the country´s major cities, stressing the socio-spatial segregation. Findings, however, have suggested a more heterogeneous situation, in both negative and positive ways: sometimes the developments help to better connect the urban grid.

title: The adoption of Article Processing Charges as a business model by Brazilian Open Access journals

description: Abstract Different funding and business model alternatives for Open Access to scientific publication have been discussed and tried, either by Gold open access journals or by the ‘hybrid’ ones. A growing number of both types of scholarly journals have adopted a publication fee – more specifically an Article Processing Charge – as their open access business model, a procedure that has been the subject of controversies. The objective of this study is to characterize Brazilian open access journals that adopt article processing charges. The main contribution of this study is to audit and support decision making of editorial policies and business models for open access that are being proposed by and for Brazilian journals. We defined a sample of Brazilian open access journals using article processing charges extracted from the Directory of Open Access Journals database in April 2018 along with their classification in the Scimago Journal Ranking, Journal Citation Reports and Qualis Capes system, considered as an indicator of prestige of academic journals. The study reveals that a small number of Brazilian open access journals are currently applying article processing charges, with practices varying mainly according to fields of study, types of organization and classification according to the Qualis system.

title: Altmetric studies in Brazil: An analysis from the curricula on the Lattes Platform-CNPq

description: Abstract Field of the information metrics studies with nine years of existence, altmetrics has in Brazil a history three years more recent. If, on the other hand, we consider the field more broadly, such as scientometric studies based on cybermetric or web-based data, we could identify older works. However, delimitation of the field occurred in 2010, when Jason Priem coined the term “altmetrics” via Twitter having arrived in Brazil as “altmetria” in 2013. In the exploratory bibliometric study here presented, we used the Lattes curriculum to identify articles and communications in congresses of researchers, with or without a doctorate degree, who work in the field of altmetrics in Brazil, their large areas and areas of expertise, geographical distribution and the evolution of data and thematic sources over the years. To this end, the identification of curricula was made through the advanced search in the Lattes Platform by the terms “altmetria”, “altmétrico”, “altmétrica”, “altmetric” or “altmetrics”. The 94 curricula found, 37 of which were doctors and 57 of non-doctors, had their contents filtered by the search terms used. Twenty-six articles were identified in periodicals and 36 communications in events. From the 94 researchers it is verified that 53 of them produced only in altmetrics and 41 with intercession with Facebook, Twitter or Mendeley. The field is dominated by researchers from the large area of Applied Social Sciences with emphasis on Information Science and to a lesser extent for Communication. Research focus have been evolving from more theoretical approaches towards practical, evaluative, critical and institutional and regional contexts.
