title: Integration of treatment technologies with Fenton reagent for laboratory effluent remediation

description: Abstract This study investigated of the potential value of the integration of the coagulation/flocculation, Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) (Fenton reagent) and slow sand filtration technologies, with the aim of treating laboratory wastewater. The treatment system was designed in laboratory scale through coagulation/flocculation. It involved the use of Jar Test equipment with a sequence of two rotational phases: fast mixes to 300 rpm for 20 seconds and slow mixes to 30 rpm for 6 minutes and 10 seconds, with the addition of anionic polymer and sedimentation for 60 minutes at ambient temperature. In the treatment via Fenton reagent, two rotational phases were used: rapid mixing at 300 rpm for 20 seconds with the addition of iron (Fe2+) and slow mixing at 30 rpm for 6 minutes and 10 seconds with the addition of hydrogen peroxide, followed by 60 minutes of sedimentation at ambient temperature. A cylindrical tank of polyvinyl chloride, sands and non-woven synthetic fabrics were used in the slow filtration. The filtration rate adopted was 3 m3 m-2 d-1 with a hydraulic retention time of 264 minutes. The best concentrations of chemical reagents used in the treatments were: 0.80 mg L-1 of polymeric anionic, 200.00 mg L-1 of H2O2 and 13.00 mg L-1 of total soluble iron. The integration of the treatment technologies made it possible to achieve a removal rate of 75.27% of COD and 94.12% of total phenols. Furthermore, the conjugation of the processes allowed the removal of 87.58% of TOC.

title: Interlanguage pragmatics in a service encounter: diagnosing how Spanish learners of English for the Tourism Industry inform tourists at a visitor centre

description: Abstract: This study explores the behaviour of (pre-)intermediate Spanish learners of English for the Tourism Industry at the transactional phase of a service encounter wherein they have to carry out one of the tasks for which they are trained: giving information at a tourist visitor centre. More specifically, this study analyses (i) the strategies wherewith they dispense tourist information, and (ii) how they attend to relational aspects during the encounter or manage rapport with tourists through such strategies and the information dispensed. Thus, this study purports to shed light onto learners’ skills prior to instruction in an area which, although usually included in ESP textbooks, seems to have been overlooked by practitioners in interlanguage pragmatics. The preliminary need diagnosis that this paper makes may be the foundation upon which pedagogical intervention may subsequently be designed.

title: The effect of flooding and drainage duration on the release of potentially toxic elements from floodplain soils.

description: Supplemental Data for: The effect of flooding and drainage duration on the release of potentially toxic elements from floodplain soils.<br>Abstract: Floodplains downstream of urban catchments are sinks for potentially toxic Trace Elements (TEs). An intensification of the hydrological cycle and changing land use will result in floodplains becoming inundated for longer durations in the future. We collected intact soil cores from a floodplain meadow downstream of an urban catchment and subjected them to an inundation/drainage cycle in the laboratory to investigate the effect of flood duration on TE concentrations in the soil porewater. The porewater concentrations of Ni, Cr and Zn increased, while Cu and Pb decreased, with flood duration. All the Cr present in porewaters was identified as Cr(III). Cu concentrations increased after drainage, but Pb mobility remained suppressed. Both pH and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) increased with flood duration but were lower in treatments that were drained for the longest (which were also the treatments flooded for the shortest duration). The porewater concentrations of Cr and Ni decreased after drainage to levels below that observed prior to inundation, mirroring the DOC concentrations. We conclude that the duration of floodplain inundation does have an influence on the environmental fate of TEs but that flooding does not influence all TEs in the same way. The implications of an intensification of the hydrological cycle over the coming decades are that floodplains may become a source of some TEs to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

title: Contemporary regulation of drug prices in Brazil - a critical analysis

description: ABSTRACT Price regulation aims to ensure sustainability of pharmaceutical care. Aiming to critically discuss the regulation of pharmaceutical prices in Brazil, we elaborated an essay based on document analysis (2000-2017) of the pharmaceutical economic regulation found at the Medication Regulation Chamber (CMED), journals, theses, and publications of the Legislature and pharmaceutical industry. For 15 years, Act no. 10.742/2003 has established a price ceiling model, comprising maximum prices for medicines and annual readjustments according to a formula defined in law. Model, implementation and formula have all been criticized. The formula links adjustments to the IPCA (general inflation index), adding indexes for production costs, competition, and productivity. The longevity of the model, without regular realignment of the ceiling to actual market prices, as recommended in specialized literature, generates price ceilings detached from reality, which deepen information asymmetries and may support abusive price increases in the future. Prioritization of market efficiency over reduction of information asymmetry in the regulatory model has reduced the strength of consumers in the debate. The current regulatory model has advanced in relation to previous liberalized pricing policies, but further improvement depends on the appropriation of the theme and increasing participation of consumers and health professionals in the regulatory process.

title: The rs11755527 polymorphism in the BACH2 gene and type 1 diabetes mellitus: case control study in a Brazilian population

description: ABSTRACT Objective Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disorder caused by a complex interaction between environmental and genetic risk factors. BTB domain and CNC homolog 2 (BACH2) gene encodes a transcription factor that acts on the differentiation and formation of B and T lymphocytes. BACH2 is also involved in the suppression of apoptosis and inflammation in pancreatic beta-cells, indicating a role for it in the development of T1DM. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the BACH2 rs11755527 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with T1DM. Subjects and methods This case-control study comprised 475 patients with T1DM and 598 nondiabetic individuals. The BACH2 rs11755527 (C/G) SNP was genotyped using real-time PCR with TaqMan MGB probes. Results Genotype distributions of rs11755527 SNP were in accordance with frequencies predicted by the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in case and control groups and were similar between groups (P = 0.729). The minor allele frequency was 43.6% in cases and 42.5% in controls (P = 0.604). Moreover, the G allele frequency did not differ between groups when considering different inheritance models and adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, and HLA DR/DQ genotypes of high-risk for T1DM. Although, well-known high-risk T1DM HLA DR/DQ genotypes were associated with T1DM in our population [OR= 7.42 (95% CI 3.34 – 17.0)], this association was not influenced by the rs11755527 SNP. Conclusion The BACH2 rs11755527 SNP seems not to be associated with T1DM in a Brazilian population.

title: Estimation of corrosive and scaling trend in drinking water systems in the city of Azogues, Ecuador

description: Abstract The quality of drinking water flowing in a distribution network can possess corrosive characteristics that may cause the material degradation of pipes and accessories. This problem can result in reduction of the service life of pipes and create a major public health problem. The agreement between the physical-chemical water quality analysis and national standards are not enough to confirm the balance of the water quality in terms of corrosion. In order to predict pipe corrosion in water distribution system networks, the corrosive trend was evaluated using the Langelier (LSI), Ryznar (RSI), and Larson-Skold (LRI) indexes based on measurements of pH, temperature, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, calcium hardness, sulfate and chloride. This study was setup with 180 samples collected in six zones of the distribution network, from July to December of 2017, according to the standard methods for the analysis of drinking water. The results indicate a variation of the LSI from -1.22 to -1.68; RSI from 9.75 to 10.52 and LRI from 0.46 to 0.77. A linear model was fitted for each index to predict the corrosion with the water quality conditions of this study case. Therefore, the drinking water of the city of Azogues, Ecuador has a corrosive tendency from significant to severe. Corrosion indices were calculated to provide useful information on the water's corrosiveness. These results indicate the need to constantly monitor the corrosion rate in the distribution network and conduct a laboratory study to adjust effective parameters such as pH, in order to control corrosion.

title: study of the environmental quality perception through phenomenological method

description: AbstractThis study aimed to analyze the environmental quality of the Santa Cruz district, in the municipality of Luís Eduardo Magalhães, Bahia State (BA), Brazil, through the perceptive approach guided by the principles of the phenomenological method. Environmental quality is in part considered object of human perception and thus subjective. Results showed among other things that the investigated individuals generally perceive in a clear and intense way the neighborhood aspects related to infrastructure, social issues, and public health. The issues related to improper disposal of solid waste, open sewers, afforestation absence, noise, and air pollution are poorly perceived or not perceived as problems that plague the neighborhood, maybe because they are not priority for these people who have most urgent needs, especially related to labor/employment, housing, health, and safety.

title: THE SOCIETY’S PERCEPTION OF THE LIFE QUALITY AND POPULATION CONTROL OF STRAY DOGS

description: Abstract In most Brazilian municipalities there is an overpopulation of stray dogs, which causes problems to the urban order, the environment and the public health, in addition to mistreatment to these dogs. In such context we foresee the need of developing actions targeting the population control of these animals. This essay aims at knowing the perception of social actors, such as managers of entities responsible for control actions, managers of NGOs working with animal protection and population in general with respect to the life quality and population control of stray dogs. Questionnaires were used on samples of individuals of these three groups and the data thereof were analyzed with descriptive statistics techniques and frequency comparison. The results allowed us to conclude that the society’s perception of population control and life quality of these animals bear important differences under the viewpoint of the three evaluated groups; however, they also bear significant similarities, especially with respect to the perception of the responsibility for the development of population control actions, the acceptance of using public funds intended to public health in control actions, the classification of such population density as large and the poor life quality of these animals.

title: Lowstand Turbidites and Delta Systems of the Itararé Group in the Vidal Ramos region (SC), southern Brazil

description: Turbidites have captioned the attention of sedimentologists during the last decades due their importance as hydrocarbon reservoirs. However, their relationship to delta systems still deserves further studies. This paper presents examples from a late deglacial to early post-glacial deltaic and turbidite strata exposed in the surroundings of Vidal Ramos (Santa Catarina State, Brazil), southern portion of the Paraná Basin. There, the uppermost part of the Mafra Formation and the Rio do Sul Formation onlap the Proterozoic basement and comprises an up to 360 m thick package. It includes (base to top) black shales, mass transport deposits (MTD) and sandy turbidites (Mafra Formation) as well as thin bedded turbidites (tbt), including one interval of black shales and sandy turbidites, overlain by proximal delta front sandstones (Rio do Sul Formation). The analysis of the succession shows two more than 150 m thick coarsening-upwards deltaic successions composed of turbidite sand sheets at their base (prodelta), followed by partially collapsed thin bedded turbidites (delta slope wedge) and delta front sandstones. Both turbidite sand-sheets abruptly overlay black shale intervals related to maximum flooding surfaces and therefore record correlative conformities. A detailed stratigraphic section elaborated from the correlation of four logs (1/100) suggests that distal delta front sands includes both thin bedded turbidites and wave reworked sands whereas the proximal delta front was dominated by long-lived underflows (hyperpycnal flows). The succession suggests that the most expressive turbidite beds (base of the delta systems) have resulted from relative sea-level falls (early lowstand) whereas the thin-bedded turbidites were related to the development of the late lowstand wedge. Black shales represent the transgressive systems tract and HST were not deposited or preserved in the area. High sediment supply associated with lowstand tracts could explain the occasional (Vidal Ramos) to common occurrence of slope failures (slumps and diamictites) involving thin bedded turbidites and delta front sandstones. This situation is quite logical in terms of deglacial periods, and resulting high sediment supply, within a long-term icehouse context, with prevalence of lowstand to transgressive settings.
