title: Governance of Tourism in Campo das Vertentes, MG, Brazil: a path to regional development?

description: Abstract The purpose of this study is to verify coordination and the role of governance structures in tourism activities in the region of Campo das Vertentes, state of Minas Gerais. For that, we studied the municipalities of Prados, São João Del Rei, and Tiradentes, included in the “Trilha dos Inconfidentes” (‘Inconfidentes’ trail). As a theoretical basis, the ten elements of governance proposed by Bovaird and Löffler (2003) were considered. This study is exploratory and of a qualitative nature. We used documentary research and conducted 12 in-depth interviews. The results show a high level of governance development in the region, even though there are discrepancies between the municipalities analyzed. It was verified that the Tourist Circuit “Trilha dos Inconfidentes”, responsible for establishing a direct channel with the public power at the state and federal levels in order to meet the needs of the region, has relevant power and influence over the actions, projects, and programs that are carried out.

title: Nutritional status of micronutrients in children according to personal and daycare center characteristics

description: Abstract This study aimed to verify the differences in the nutritional status of micronutrients in children according to personal and daycare center characteristics. Also, to test the behavior of these differences according to the linear growth. This cross-sectional study with 271 children assisted at daycare centers. The mean hemoglobin, serum zinc, and serum retinol concentrations (± EP) were 11.79 g/dL (± 1.08); 81.58 µg/dL (± 16.56) and 1.68 μmol/L (± 0.45), respectively, being lower in children aged 9-24 months and in those studying in classrooms with inadequate area. Children with eosinophilia and in part-time regimen had statistically lower hemoglobin and zinc concentrations. Poliparasitism was associated with lower hemoglobin and retinol concentrations. According to the linear growth, children with specific conditions (girls, over 24 months of age, residence in the urban area, with no poliparasitism) had lower zinc concentrations when diagnosed with stunting, compared to those with normal height. In conclusion, the children studied showed differences in the nutritional status of micronutrients influenced by parasitic processes and structural problems of kindergartens. Still, they settled differences related to child linear growth.

title: Characteristics and Manufacture of Spherical Smokeless Powders

description: ABSTRACT: Smokeless propellants have been studied and manufactured for many decades. They can exist in various physical forms and also can have different properties according to the use of each propellant. One important form of smokeless powders is the ball powder, which has spherical grains. The manufacture process of the ball powder has many advantages over the usual way to manufacture a smokeless powder. For example, unstable and even deteriorated nitrocellulose, after being stabilized again, can be used to produce spherical powders. Also, the process to produce them requires less water and energy, which can result in a cheaper way to manufacture powders. In this review, the spherical powders manufacturing process is described, as well as the characteristics and advantages of this specific form of a double-base powder.

title: Brand Extension Evaluation: an experimental research study in the service sector

description: ABSTRACT This study analyzed the effects, in consumers’ evaluations, of different brand names (arbitrary, descriptive, and suggestive), of perceived similarities (high vs. low) and of perceived quality regarding brand extension in services. We implemented two experiments involving 1,338 respondents. In Experiment 1, by means of MANOVA, we managed to detect significant effects of brand names and of similarities in Attitude and Intention to Use of consumers. In Experiment 2, we added manipulation of perceived quality to the sample. We identified transfer of perceived quality to extended service, and that perceived quality overweighed effects of similarity and brand names in extensions, which indicates that perceived quality is more relevant in evaluation of brand extension in service when brand names are not recognized by consumers.

title: Knowledge and conduct of public health system dentist about atraumatic restorative treatment

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the knowledge and conduct of dentists of the Public Health System (Family Health Strategy – FHS) regarding Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART). Material and method A census survey was conducted and all FHS dentists from the urban area of the city of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil were visited in their workplaces and invited to participate in this study. Data collection was carried out between July and October, 2014 through self-administered questionnaires. For statistical analysis the chi-square test with a significance level of 5% and the linear association test were applied. Result One hundred and eighty-three professionals participated in the study (with a response rate of 89.7%), mostly women (71.0%), aged twenty to thirty-nine years (49.2%), with twenty or more years’ experience since graduation (45.9%), working only in the public service (70.5%), and with expertise in the clinical area (44.3%). Most of them believe in ART (82.7%) and 95.8% of them apply it (of those, 58.9% apply it only in public service). The professionals’ individual knowledge of ART was measured and most of them have correct information regarding the treatment. The knowledge level evaluation was significantly associated with age and time since graduation (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion Most of the dentistsworking in the public health system of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil have a good knowledge of and show positive behavior towardentists ART, but improvement is needed regarding the technique and its correct indication.

title: Memory monitoring and memory control in chronic stroke patients Dissociated processes

description: ABSTRACT. Memory problems are common in stroke patients, although little is known about how accurately chronic stroke patients can monitor and control memory processes. Objective: The performance of memory and metamemory in stroke patients and healthy controls were investigated, as well as dissociation between performances. Methods: 10 adults with right hemisphere lesion (mean [M] age=53.2 [SD=9.7]), 10 with left hemisphere lesion (M age=60.4 [SD=6.6]) and 20 healthy participants (M age=56.5 [SD=9.3] with no neurological disease, matched for sex, age and years of education participated in a multiple-case design study. Participants completed a metamemory experimental paradigm, as well as immediate and delayed word recall and recognition tasks. Results: Data indicated that 10 out of the 20 patients presented significantly lower scores compared to controls, two of which had global deficits (functional association). Functional dissociations between memory monitoring (judgments of learning, JOL), control (allocation of study time) and capacity (cued-recall task) among patients were found for eight cases, suggesting these processes are independent. Conclusion: These findings reveal stroke patients may have specific metamemory impairment and can contribute to the understanding of cognitive models of metamemory processing.

title: Hippocampus discovery First steps

description: The first steps of the discovery, and the main discoverers, of the hippocampus are outlined. Arantius was the first to describe a structure he named "hippocampus" or "white silkworm". Despite numerous controversies and alternate designations, the term hippocampus has prevailed until this day as the most widely used term. Duvernoy provided an illustration of the hippocampus and surrounding structures, considered the first by most authors, which appeared more than one and a half century after Arantius' description. Some authors have identified other drawings and texts which they claim predate Duvernoy's depiction, in studies by Vesalius, Varolio, Willis, and Eustachio, albeit unconvincingly. Considering the definition of the hippocampal formation as comprising the hippocampus proper, dentate gyrus and subiculum, Arantius and Duvernoy apparently described the gross anatomy of this complex. The pioneering studies of Arantius and Duvernoy revealed a relatively small hidden formation that would become one of the most valued brain structures.

title: Aloe vera as vehicle to mineral trioxide aggregate: study in bone repair

description: AIM: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was associated to Aloe vera to verify the coadjutant action of that medicinal plant in the bone neoformation process in tibia of rats.MATERIAL AND METHOD: 36 male rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used, divided into two groups of 18 rats each. Two circumferential bone defects with approximately 5 mm in diameter were made on the right tibia of each animal: the upper defect was filled with blood coagulates in both groups to serve as experimental control and the lower defect was filled with MTA and Aloe vera in experimental (group E1) and MTA and distilled water in experimental (group E2). Seven, 15 and 30 days after surgery, six animals from each group were euthanized and the right tibia of each animal was removed for histological analysis.RESULT: Histologically, experimental group E1 presented better results for the two variables, inflammation [at seven days (p=0.045)] and bone formation [at seven days (p=0.018) and 30 days (p=0.034)], compared to the E2 group.CONCLUSION: The association of MTA and Aloe vera showed potential to reduce the effects of the inflammatory cascade and promote bone neoformation making it to a promising proposal for future use in endodontic therapy.
