title: Pharmaceutical care and evaluation of adherence to antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV/AIDS

description: Abstract Highly Active Antiretroviral therapy (HAART) depends on optimal adherence to be effective. Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up can be used as a strategy for treatment fidelity. To provide pharmaceutical care for HAART patients, to assess adherence, to identify and resolve drug related problems (DRP). This is a prospective, interventional study aimed at people on HAART. Data was collected using the pharmacotherapeutic follow-up form and CEAT-VIH. There was a predominance of women (59%), older than 33 years (75%), mostly single (43%). Regarding adherence, 64% had insufficient adherence at the start of the study, while 36% had strict/adequate adherence. After the pharmacotherapeutic follow-up, 70% presented strict/adequate adherence. Regarding HAART, the relationship between adhesion versus time of HAART and adherence versus regimen used was significant, considering that less time of therapy and regimen containing protease inhibitors are predictors for insufficient adherence. Regarding the DRP identified (f=77), missed pills (32%), untreated disease, incorrect management frequency, and undue self-medication (12%) were the most frequent. Pharmaceutical interventions (f=137) were predominantly advising related to specific pharmacological treatment (32%), non-pharmacological measures (20%), and medication suspension (9%). Pharmaceutical care was shown to be animportant strategy, within the multi professional team, to improve adherence, besides identifying and resolving DRP.

title: Study of soils used with subgrade and sub-ballast in Brazilian railways

description: Abstract Brazil has an extremely limited railroad network compared to other developed and developing countries. There are projects to expand this mesh. Knowing that the cost of implementing a railroad is high, research for solutions that allow cost reduction is of great importance. But the parameters of the materials used in the subgrade and sub-ballast layers are from other countries, which can cause the cost to increase to meet these parameters. Through strength parameters and mineralogical analysis, it is possible to use or not fine tropical soils as a layer of railway pavement. A critical analysis of the standards that are used to scale and/or verify whether a particular soil can be used in these layers was undertaken. For this, the following tests were performed: Granulometry, Atterberg Limits, Compaction, California Support Index (CBR or ISC), Expansion, MCT Classification Test (Miniature, Compacted, Tropical), Dynamic Triaxial and X-Ray Diffraction. From the results, it could be seen that although one of the soils is thin, it presented satisfactory results in relation to the use in layers of the railway pavement. It was verified that it is necessary to use more modern tests, focusing on mechanistic dimensioning for dimensioning pavement layers.

title: Evaluation of the use of blast furnace slag as an additive in mortars

description: Abstract Clinker is the raw material used in the manufacture of cement. However, this material is very harmful to the environment, since it is estimated that for every ton of clinker produced, about 1.0 ton of CO2 is released into the atmosphere. For this reason, alternatives were sought for the use of other materials that are less harmful to the environment. This has led to the use of industrial by-products with the aim of increasing their use and thus reducing the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. Blast furnace slag is a by-product used in the manufacture of some cementitious products. The aim of this research is to conduct a study on the use of slag as an additive for cement or concrete. The mortar samples were tested according to Brazilian, American and European technical standards. Physical, chemical and compressive strength tests were carried out which confirmed the possibility of using the slag without chemical or thermal activation.

title: Financial liberalization, speculative bubble and banking crisis in Japan

description: ABSTRACT This paper examines the institutional environment of the Japanese financial system and its role in the asset price bubble and financial crisis. The deregulation process of the 80s eliminated various rules that had previously been used by the government to monitor the economic growth through monetary and credit policies. Banks turned to more risky operations and, under a period of low interest rates, contributed to drive liquidity to speculative sectors, which were at the center of the asset bubble. The change in monetary policy put an end to the rise of asset prices and resulted in default of many borrowers. Since 1991 the Japanese banking sector is trying to absorb the huge volume of non-performing loans of its portfolio related to this process.

title: Social protection in schooling policies: some theoretical-political digressions

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to examine the ways in which relevant formulators of schooling policies operate under a concept of social protection that is associated with and produced under the neoliberal gendarme. By enrolling in the field of schooling policies, it analyzes how social protection is dimensioned and intensified based on the logic of the school’s expanded social responsibility. Firstly, it places policymakers in a broader scope. Secondly, it deepens reflection about the Brazilian reality and offers some provocations. Methodologically, the article is based mainly on theoretical-political digressions from a critical perspective of analysis. The concepts of social protection presented here refer to the school as a place of welcome and protection, with creative spaces both inside and outside formal systems and the development of adaptable and flexible programs.

title: Soybean sowing under low water availability conditions: impacts of seed treatment and soil management

description: Abstract: The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of soybean sowing in soil with low water availability, under two management systems, using seeds with and without chemical treatment, on the physiological quality of seeds and seedling emergence. For this, two experiments were set up, one under no-tillage system (NTS) and the other under conventional tillage system (CTS), in a randomized block design, both in a 2x6 factorial scheme, with two seed treatment conditions (with and without) and six periods of seed permanence in the soil (0, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h), with four replications. Germination, vigor, percentage of abnormal seedlings and percentage of dead seeds were evaluated. Seed treatment made it possible to maintain germination at acceptable levels for up to five days of permanence of the seeds in the soil, even in CTS. Sowing in soils with low water availability can lead to reductions of 0.2 and 0.5 percentage points per hour of exposure to dry soil in germination and vigor of soybean seeds, respectively.

title: The crisis of the Japanese economy in the 90s: impacts of the speculative bubble

description: ABSTRACT From 1953 to 1992, Japan reached the highest economic growth rates among industrialized countries. This performance was achieved despite two oil shocks and the endaka - the continuous rise of the yen vis-à-vis the dollar. This long-term growth cycle came to a sudden halt in early 90’s. Japanese economy stagnated while other industrialized countries continued growing. This was mainly due to the “economic bubkle” burst. From 1990 to 1992, the value of urban land and of the stock market index were cut to almost half. As a result, Japanese banks accumulated US$ 800 billion performing assets. This paper intends to analyse the Japanese “bubble economy crisis” and its long-term impacts on the Japanese economy, on its financial system and on its bilateral relations with the United States.

title: THE IMPACT OF ACADEMIC CULTURE ON UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE TRAINING: A CONCEPTUAL MODEL PROPOSAL

description: ABSTRACT The academic culture has received increasing attention in the literature. However, less attention has been paid to the effects of academic culture on undergraduate and graduate teaching. This article proposes a conceptual model, based on analytical induction, which identifies three levels of academic culture: higher education culture, professional and disciplinary culture, and institutional culture. It is argued that the beliefs of students, academics and management teams about the role of research and extension are fundamental to university teaching. Based on the above review, the importance of understanding the impact of academic culture on undergraduate and graduate education is revealed by exemplifying its significance for Latin American institutions.

title: Development of colonies of uruçu stingless bees fed a vitamin-amino acid supplement

description: ABSTRACT This study proposes to investigate the influence of a vitamin-amino acid supplement on the weight of colonies of uruçu stingless bees (Melipona scutellaris). The experiment was carried out with 24 colonies and three treatments, which consisted of a solution of different proportions of supplement (0, 3, and 5 mL) diluted in syrup (water and sugar). Although this supplement is effective and indicated for other species of domestic animals, analysis of variance with repeated measures over time did not reveal a significant effect (P &gt; 0.05) of its dose on the weight of the hives, showing that the supply of the vitamin-amino acid supplement does not meet the nutritional requirements of the colony. The use of this product did not have a positive effect on the development of the uruçu bee colonies, so it should not be employed as a major source of amino acids and vitamins in the diet of bees. Beekeepers are suggested to provide uruçu bees with an abundant diversity of plants so that they have access to different types of pollen as a source of nutrients.

title: Impact of mechanical ventilation time on functional capacity and muscular strength of patients under intensive care

description: Abstract Introduction: A prolonged assisted ventilation (AV) period might induce complications. Objective: To compare functional capacities and muscle strength of patients under AV. Methods: This is a prospective cohort observational study. The patients selected were under mechanical ventilation in any given moment, and they were evaluated only at the time of discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU). The convenience sample of 103 was selected and divided into a group with up to six days of AV (G6) and another with seven days or more of AV (G7). The protocol proposed was: application of the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale, dynamometry, Barthel index, ability to ambulate at ICU discharge. A call was made to the patients six and 12 months after hospital discharge for the application of the Barthel index. Results: We verified that G6 patients obtained better muscular strength measured through right 14 (8-30) and left 18 (8-26) dynamometry and MRC scale 48 (44-56). Only seven (14%) patients from the G7 group were able to ambulate. G7 patients showed greater functional loss at hospital discharge 32 (15-60). After one year of hospital discharge, both groups had recovered their functional capacity 100 (100-100). Conclusion: When evaluating the process of AV, it is possible to conclude that the longer the ventilator is used, the greater the loss of strength and functionality. In addition, there is a significant recovery of functionality after one year of hospital discharge.
