title: Reproductive phenology of Ditassa burchellii (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae), a herbaceous vine, in a semi-deciduous forest from Brazil

description: Abstract We analyzed the reproductive phenology of Ditassa burchellii and the influence of abiotic factors on the species phenophases. The study was conducted on individuals of a natural population from a semi-deciduous forest (Viçosa municipality, Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil). We quantified the activity and intensity indices of the following phenophases: flower bud, flower, immature fruit, and dehiscent fruit. To test for seasonality of phenophases, we analyzed each of them using Rayleigh test. We evaluated whether there was any association between abiotic variables (mean temperature, rainfall, and day length) and phenophases, in the month of occurrence and in the three months prior to the occurrence of each phenophase. The analyzed phenophases occurred mainly at the end of the rainy season and during the dry season, with overlapping periods, but with sequential peaks. The periods of occurrence of reproductive phenophases were similar to the ones in other climbing species and were mainly related to the dispersal mode. All phenophases were seasonal and were associated with at least one abiotic variable, either in the month of their occurrence or in the previous months.

title: Public Policies to Promote Reading in Brazil: an analysis (1930-2014)

description: ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the trajectory of federal programs to promote reading and literature in Brazil. To this end, it investigates the period from the creation of the Ministry of Education and Public Health (1930) - the first governmental body to carry out reading promotion actions - until the establishment of the PNBE (1997-2014), the most comprehensive and expensive program for providing Brazilian public schools with literary collections. Our proposal is inscribed in the perspective that the book is not a neutral object (Chartier, 1990). Its curtailing, in a country marked by deep social inequalities, may point to interests of discourse appropriators (Foucault, 1996). The study of its history can therefore reveal these interests.

title: Evaluation of quality of the services offered at the CEOs: users' side

description: The research has the purpose of analyzing the quality of the services offered at the CEO in Pernambuco, Brazil, in the perspective of the users' satisfaction. It is about an analytical/quantitative study with evaluative measures according to Donabedian's model referring to the result. The interviews were done through the junction of forms previously validated. The exposition was composed of the users who were present in the waiting room of every CEO that had submitted to the clinical procedure at least once, making a total of 156 users. The data analysis was checked at the statistical program SPSS, 13.0 version, in a descriptive and analytical step. In the statistical analysis, Pearson's χ2 was used. A level of 5% significance was taken into consideration for all the analysis. It was testified that the users had demonstrated satisfaction with the quality of the service rendered at the CEO in Pernambuco. The ideas of "self-perception of health" and "type of service" have been considered both positively and statistically significant with a clear satisfaction from the users, especially the ones who used to go regularly to the PSF and consider the oral health service bad.

title: Transit strategies of independent Central American adolescents migrants: coping with Vertical Border in Mexico

description: Abstract How do independent Central American adolescents migrants face transit through Mexico? How do they experience the Mexican vertical border context? In this paper the concept of vertical border tries to gather a double empirical expression: the Mexican State one, which refers to the immigration enforcement system spread throughout the country, and an unofficial vertical boundary, characterized by a set of risks and abuses committed against immigrants by different actors. From the perspective of Agency, and based on case studies of Guatemalans and Salvadorans adolescents, this article reveals the transit strategies of this immigrants in their attempt to overcome the obstacles enhanced by such boundary expressions.

title: An evaluation of the Brazilian Mortality Information System

description: ABSTRACT This paper assesses quality indicators of the Mortality Information System (SIM) with professionals and managers. Each indicator was analyzed with use of Stochastic Oscillator for qualitative evaluation of Likert scales. The evaluation indicated that the system has features that meet users, is effective to the management, provides adequate performance, enables auditing and tracking of accesses and operations, has mechanisms that ensure disaster recovery situations in data, and has a robust interface. Interoperability indicators were poorly evaluated, confirming reports on the lack of integration between the health information systems of the Unified Health System, fragmentation, and duplication of information.

title: Intermittence periods in corn seed drying process

description: Abstract: The high quality is a factor that must be assured in a corn seed production system. In order to achieve this, seeds are harvested with high moisture content, and then artificially dried. However, the costs of this operation are high and may reduce the profits. The objective of the present study was to evaluate, through the physiological quality, the possibility of using intermittence periods for drying corn seeds on the cob in a stationary system. The seeds were harvested on the cob, close to the physiological maturity stage, with an average moisture content of 35%. The treatments consisted of four periods of intermittence (3, 6 and 9 hours) and one period without intermittence. The seeds were stored for six months. To evaluate the physiological quality of the seeds, germination, first germination, electrical conductivity, and the cold tests were performed. The experimental design was completely randomized, in split plots. In a stationary drying system, periods of intermittence of up to 6 hours per day helped to preserve the physiological quality of the corn seeds. The use of intermittence periods in the drying process provides corn seeds with higher physiological quality and greater storage potential, in comparison with the continuous drying.

title: JOÃO CÂNDIDO, MESTRE SALADOS MARES: THE LABOR AND EVERYDAY LIFE OF BELLE ÉPOQUE SAILORS

description: Abstract In the light of historiographical analyses, this paper discusses the spectacular life of João Cândido Felisberto, a black man born in the post-emancipation period, son of former slaves, and leader of one of the greatest sailor revolts in world history, possibly akin only to the 1905 struggle aboard the Russian battleship Potemkin. We went through multiple sources in order to analyze Cândido’s origins, experiences and learnings in barracks and battleships, his national and international trips, and his adventures across different Brazilian borders and cities. Guided by a recent young Republican constitution, the early governors and congresses saw the explosion of social and political movements, feared all over the nation. João Cândido was familiar with most of them, and his name appeared in the front page of the most prominent Brazilian and international newspapers when he led hundreds of black sailors in a protest against the physical punishments and terrible work conditions in the Brazilian Navy.

title: Radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer: an uncommon but challenging situation

description: ABSTRACT Radioiodine (RAI)-refractory thyroid cancer is an uncommon entity, occurring with an estimated incidence of 4-5 cases/year/million people. RAI refractoriness is more frequent in older patients, in those with large metastases, in poorly differentiated thyroid cancer, and in those tumors with high 18-fluordeoxyglucose uptake on PET/CT. These patients have a 10-year survival rate of less than 10%. In recent years, new therapeutic agents with molecular targets have become available, with multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) being the most investigated drugs. Two of these compounds, sorafenib and lenvatinib, have shown significant objective response rates and have significantly improved the progression-free survival in the two largest published prospective trials on MKI use. However, no overall survival benefit has been achieved yet. This is probably related to the crossover that occurs in most patients who progress on placebo treatment to the open treatment of these studies. In consequence, the challenge is to correctly identify which patients will benefit from these treatments. It is also crucial to understand the appropriate timing to initiate MKI treatment and when to stop it. The purpose of this article is to define RAI refractoriness, to summarize which therapies are available for this condition, and to review how to select patients who are suitable for them.

title: FRACTION OF ORGANIC MATTER IN SOIL UNDER DECIDUOUS FORMATIONS IN THE NORTH OF MINAS

description: ABSTRACT: The dynamics of organic matter influences the main chemical, physical and biological processes in soil, and often determines their chemical behavior and fertility. Therefore, it is essential to quantify the fractions that make up the organic matter to the understanding of pedogenic processes that reflect or induce soil properties. The aim of the study was to evaluate the behavior of soil organic matter in different soil profiles under deciduous formations, through fractionation of organic matter and obtain their different oxidizable fractions. Ten soil profiles were described and collected in areas of deciduous formations in the state of Minas Gerais and Bahia. Chemical and physical analyzes were performed on each horizon. For organic matter fractions, the fractionation of humic substances and subsequent determination of carbon in each fraction was performed: humin (HUM - C) , fulvic acid (C - FAF) and humic acid (C - FAH) and calculated their relations and percentage of each fraction relative to total organic carbon (COT) , �F, �H, %HUM and �, beyond fractions oxidizable C in each evaluated horizon. Humic substances that make up the organic matter in the soil of seasonal dry forests profiles showed that this compartment MOS showed a predominance of the humin fraction, followed by humic acids and lower content of C, fulvic acids for most soils. However, the different fractions of oxidizable C could already point more labile fractions associated with surface horizons, and more recalcitrant to subsurface horizons.
