title: Geographical intelligence in the implementaton of public policies: towards a monitoring platorm of urban green areas in the State of São Paulo

description: Abstract: This article presents the state of the art of a monitoring platorm for urban green areas – UrbVerde – in the municipalites of the São Paulo State. Its constructon is based on Cloud Computing and orbital remote sensing. The objective is to provide metrics for monitoring socio-environmental inequalites from a local and intraurban scale, including vegetaton indexes, surface temperature, and open space systems (parks and squares), relating them to population aspects grouped by censitary sectors. It, thus, constitutes a trackable information base with potential for the implementaton of public policies, such as the Municípios VerdeAzul program. Through interactive data analysis and correlaton tools, the inter-relatonal aspect of the involved geographic variables is highlighted, representing a gain of governance intelligence. In additon, the approach in use provides new insights into the distribution and accessibility of municipalites’ green infrastructure, promoting awareness among managers and greater inclusion of the population in decision-making processes. In this way, it is expected, with the support of disruptive technology, to jointily stimulate the processes of decision support for green recovery in the Decade of Ecosystem Restoraton (2021-2030), enabling the process of transforming the municipalites into smart and sustainable cites.

title: Stand-level biomass estimation for Korean pine plantations based on four additive methods in Heilongjiang province, northeast China

description: ABSTRACT Background: Korean pine ( Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zucc.) is one of the primary plantation conifer species of economic and ecological importance in northeast China. Forest biomass estimation in the broader landscape has been receiving attention from researchers and forest managers. The development of forest stand biomass models is regarded an effective method to estimate forest biomass at large scales. This study was carried out for developing stand-level biomass models for Korean pine plantations. Four additive methods were compared: Aggregation 1, Aggregation 2, Adjustment, and Disaggregation. All the stand biomass additive modeling systems (i.e., total, root, stem, branch, and leaf) included both stand volume and biomass conversion and expansion factors (BCEFs) as predictors. Results: The predictive performance of the four additive methods and Constant BCEFs were ranked as follows: Aggregation 1 &gt; Disaggregation &gt; Adjustment &gt; Aggregation 2 &gt; Constant BCEFs. The prediction accuracy of the four additive methods was not consistent across the stand volume intervals. Conclusion: The model based on the Aggregation 1 method was recommended for predicting stand biomass. However, different additive method should be selected according to the stand volume intervals of the Korean pine plantations.

title: Typical cuisine on the Brazil-Paraguay border: the recognition of the “chipa” as a food heritage

description: Abstract: The article aims to understand theoretical and cultural aspects related to the typical cuisine of the Brazil-Paraguay border from the analysis of the “chipa” as an alternative element to income generation and as a potential for geographic indication in strengthening local tourism. The research evaluated a sample by adhesion of 4 (four) traditional Ñas in the region, sellers and producers of artisanal “chipas”, mapped from the field observations and the tacit knowledge of the researchers. For the analysis, we considered the economic theories, geographical indication, and cultural heritage. The results showed that the level of differentiation and the commercialization channels used are factors that interfere in the creation and distribution of the added value of the product in the artisanal process of “chipa” production. It was possible to conclude that the typicality of regional cuisine, when preserved and valued by the local population, is an important element for the generation of income, based on what indicate the references on geographical indication and cultural heritage.

title: AN EVALUATION OF SECURITY FEATURES BASED ON ISO/IEC 25023 FOR A DISTRIBUTED AUTONOMIC SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHER TOOL ON A PERMISSIONED BLOCKCHAIN

description: ABSTRACT In the development of projects that aim at management and editorial evaluation methods, mechanisms that foster the product’s quality final have great importance. In this scenario, several areas are working together in search of better adequacy and standardization in software development. A basic example is the adequations of evaluation of software engineering and computer networks, which work, so that distributed applications are developed following evaluation criteria and standardized quality standards. In this context, we present the DASP software, an open-source distributed autonomous scientific publisher executed through an allowed blockchain network, automatically organized through intelligent contracts, an alternative to the decentralized management of editorial models. As a form of evaluation, one of the most current standards used by the international organization for standardization (ISO) to perform software quality measurements, ISO/IEC 25023, is adopted. Furthermore, we focused on the security aspect, which is one of the categories of ISO/IEC. This aspect was chosen because it was based on the main features that underpin blockchain technology. The quality measurement was carried out following several steps, such as the definition of ISO/IEC 25023, an adaptation of metrics for DASP software evaluation, calculations of the quality value of each functionality, and determination of recommendations for improvements in the software according to the estimates made.

title: Molecular evolution and structural analyses of proteins involved in metabolic pathways of volatile organic compounds in Petunia hybrida (Solanaceae)

description: Abstract The association between plants and their pollinators is essential for increasing the diversity in angiosperms. Morphological and physiological traits, mainly floral scent, can influence the pollination dynamics and select pollinators for each plant species. In this work, we studied two proteins involved in producing volatile organic compounds in plants, conyferyl alcohol acyltransferase (CFAT) and benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol/phenyl ethanol benzoyl transferase (BPBT) genes. We aimed to understand these proteins with respect to evolutionary and structural aspects and functions in Solanaceae using phylogenetic methods and comparative molecular modeling. We used Bayesian inference to describe the proteins’ evolutionary history using Petunia x hybrida as a query to search for homologs in the Solanaceae family. Theoretical 3D models were obtained for both proteins using Panicum virgatum as a template. The phylogenetic tree included several different enzymes with diverse biological roles in Solanaceae, displaying the transferase domain. We identified only one sequence of CFAT in the databases, which belongs to Petunia x hybrida, and found several BPBT sequences from the genera Nicotiana, Solanum, and Capsicum. The 3D structures of CFAT and BPBT have two different domains, and we have identified the amino acid residues essential for the enzymatic activity and interaction with substrates.

title: Validity and reliability of the 8-item EUROHIS-QOL to assess Brazilian adults’ quality of life

description: The study evaluated the psychometric properties of the EUROHIS-QOL 8-item scale in Brazilian adults. The EUROHIS-QOL is a measurement of quality of life developed based on the generic instruments of WHOQOL-100 and WHOQOL-BREF. Based on data from a prospective cohort of 1,100 adults, participants in the baseline in 2006 and 2007, exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency, reliability, and discriminant validity were performed via multitrait-multimethod analysis, with the calculation of the average variance extracted (AVE). Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with 573 of these participants in 2013 to 2018. Solutions were tested with one and with two factors named functional capacity and socioeconomic conditions. Both solutions presented good internal consistency and reliability. The correlation between the items was 0.535, and the AVE was 0.397 for solution with one factor, and 0.528 and 0.341 for factors one and two, respectively, indicating good discriminant validity in the bifactorial solution. Both factors had eigenvalues greater than one and factor loadings ranging from 0.398 to 0.915. The adjustment of the unifactorial solution presented: χ2 = 186 (g.l. = 18), p &lt; 0.001, RMSEA = 0.128 (90%CI: 0.111-0.145), CFI = 0.960, TLI = 0.938, and SMRM = 0.042; while in the bifactorial presented: χ2 = 135 (g.l. = 17), p &lt; 0.001, RMSEA = 0.110 (90%CI: 0.093-0.128), CFI = 0.972, TLI = 0.954, and SMRM = 0.035. Overall, the results provide reasonable evidence for the construct validity and reliability of the EUROHIS-QOL 8-item. Instruments with fewer items, as in our case, provide greater practicality and are ideal for use in population-based studies with extensive samples.

title: Construction of Meaning in Pregnancy Loss: Qualitative Study with Brazilian Couples

description: Abstract We investigated the process of meaning construction in pregnancy loss in 11 Brazilian couples. The reports were submitted to inductive and deductive thematic analysis using the categorization system from the integrative model of meaning construction in grief. Regarding the original dimensions of the model (Sense-making of death, benefit from the experience of loss, and identity change), there was a lack of meaning for death, perception of strengthened bonds within the couple as a benefit, and parenting as an identity project. We propose an additional dimension (Meaning-making process) that includes gender differences, lack of social recognition, and emotional intensity of the experience. As for coping strategies, spirituality and the search for peers were identified, especially in social media. After a pregnancy loss, the process of meaning construction proved similar to that of other types of loss, validating this experience. We discuss the implications of the category system used in this study.

title: Effects of muscle tendon vibration on balance after stroke: systematic review

description: ABSTRACT After cerebrovascular accident (CVA), people have complex combinations of sensory, motor, cognitive, and emotional deficits, which can affect static and dynamic balance. This study aimed to compile and summarize the main features and findings of protocols used in research that investigated the effects of muscle tendon vibration on static and dynamic balance in adults with stroke. This is a systematic review, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022303874), in which searches were performed in the databases PubMed, Cochrane, LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE, Science Direct, and PEDro, during the month of January 2022, using the combination of keywords related to “stroke,” “balance,” “muscle tendon vibration,” “randomized controlled trial.” Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. A total of 1,560 studies were identified, 11 of which were included, between the years 1994 to 2020, involving 242 post-stroke adults. Only five studies used vibration as an intervention and found an improvement in static and dynamic balance. Six studies analyzed the interference of vibration on postural control, showing that balance was affected during the application of vibration and that individuals needed more time to recover or did not experience significant differences. We found that the effects of muscle tendon vibration may be able to improve balance in people with stroke and influence postural control by proprioceptive mechanisms of vibration. However, more studies of high methodological quality are needed to reach a consensus regarding muscle tendon vibration treatment protocols and their recommendation in clinical practice.
