title: Exports of agricultural products and the port environment: the perspective of the transaction costs theory

description: Abstract: The Brazilian port scenario has undergone several changes over the last decades, from the decentralization of activities to new criteria for exploration and leasing for the private initiative of cargo handling terminals in public ports. These changes had an impact on the export dynamics of agricultural products and on transaction costs. This paper seeks to identify if there are transaction costs in the port environment for the export of agricultural products and the proposal of a transaction cost index (ICT). The handling of two important agricultural products were analyzed: soy and ethanol. The dimension of the analyzed transactions was asset specificity. The results indicated that the highest ICT obtained was for ethanol. However, the assets evaluated for both products had specificities that varied between average and high, which allowed concluding that in the port sector the transaction costs involved are high, promoting the adoption of new strategies and forms of governance to mitigate the risk associated with the transactions, such as long-term contracts and partnerships.

title: Child injured by suspected catfish (Cetopsis sp.) bite in river, Humaitá, Amazonas, Brazil

description: Abstract We present the first recent reported case of traumatic injury caused by catfish in the Americas. Although 66.2% of fish-related injuries occur in the Amazon Region, they are scarcely reported. We report a traumatic injury in a 2-year-old boy who entered Madeira River. The use of traditional methods to treat the injury and his incomplete vaccination history reflect the weakness of the health system. Further, the fact that it was the second time that such an incident had occurred in the locality in 3 weeks during the dry season suggests that this could be a frequent occurrence during this period.

title: Foreign market selection process as tool for international expansion: Case study for ecuadorian chia seeds exports to the european union

description: Abstract To assist Ecuadorian chia seed producers in their quest for internationalisation. This article uses a case study to present a methodology which assists in the selection of the most suitable export market for a product. It is based on a diverse range of indicators grouped into 7 dimensions that were used to analyse the 27 member countries of the European Union in order to determine the most suitable export market for chia seeds from Ecuador. Germany is the biggest European importer of chia seeds with a 55% share, followed by the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Spain. It presents a methodology for market selection that can be employed as a tool for international expansion which can easily be used by companies in search of the most suitable export market for their products.

title: The Living Conditions Index (LCI) in Rural Territories of the Brazilian Northeastern region: evidence for the Açu-Mossoró and Sertão do Apodi territories, in Rio Grande do Norte state

description: Abstract: The objective of this article is to present the importance of the Index of Living Conditions (ILC) as an indicator that allows the representation of the changes perceived in and by the target public of the actions that, since 2003, have been settled in Açu-Mossoró and Sertão do Apodi, in Rio Grande do Norte. As a methodological process, it was developed by the Department of Territorial Development (SDT) of the Brazilian Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA) and consists of the definition of LCIs, where the central focus is capturing individuals' perceptions about their living conditions. The results indicate that there is no direct correspondence between factors, characteristics and effects of development in the sense that the existence of assets and capitals along with individual liberties translates into significant changes in living conditions, although the perception about living conditions is something that varies substantially between individuals or families.

title: Four decades contributing to Brazil's agricultural and agricultural development: the path of the Rural Economy and Sociology magazine, RESR, and the “Pensamento Soberiano”

description: Abstract: This paper proposes one narrative on the Brazilian Journal of Rural Economics and Sociology’s path, approaching the last four decades, and formulates hypotheses about its two impacts. One, internal, within the Brazilian Society of Economics, Administration and Rural Sociology, and other, external, into the public administration, parliaments and associations of economic and social agents working in rural areas, been both influenced by the content disseminated through the articles. The hypothesis are that these articles expressed a set of ideas, defined here as “Pensamento Soberiano”, about public and private policies and the conduct of agents that, once adopted, would help to stimulate agricultural production and productivity, market performance, sustainable rural development and countryside social inequalities reduction. The article also shows how, over the years, the “Pensamento Soberiano” becomes plural and heterodox. The material used was journal editions corresponding to four decades and the method was to visit, or briefly review, each issue to identify authorship and scope. It is admitted to have captured the essence of the “Pensamento Soberiano”, and to estimate its contribution to the adoption of rationality precepts in Brazilian agrarian and agricultural policies and productive performance.

title: Effects of diflubenzuron on associated insect fauna with Anopheles(Diptera: Culicidae) in laboratory, partial-field, and field conditions in the Central Amazon

description: Abstract This study aimed to analyze the possible effects of diflubenzuron on the associated insect fauna under laboratory, semi-field and field conditions. Laboratory bioassays were performed in aquariums with mortality readings (%) every 24h until 96h, and in semi-fields, insects were kept in basins with readings every 24h for up to 12 days, in triplicates and a control. In the field experiment, a collection was performed before the application of diflubenzuron in ten brick factory pits (25m²) and 15 post-application. The values of LC50 and LC90 for Chironomus were 2.77x10-3g/L and 0.86g/L, respectively, and for Buenoa, they were 0.019g/L and 0.92g/L, a strong relationship was observed between mortality and exposure time (r²&gt;0.8) in all concentrations used. In semi-field, similar mean values of emergency inhibition were observed, except for Euthyplociidae, which was more sensitive. There was no significant difference between the data of richness and diversity of aquatic insects in the field experiment, considering an interval of 15 days (p=0.32). Finally, the data suggest that diflubenzuron may have a negative effect on the associated insect fauna, but in the field experiment the environmental conditions of Anopheles breeding sites may have affected its efficiency.

title: Physical activity level among older adultsover 70 years old and very old adults

description: Abstract Introduction: Physical activity (PA) is an effective strategy to ensure good health in older adults and mitigate the harmful effects of aging. Objective: To compare PA levels in people aged between 70 and 79 years and very old adults. Method: Quantitative, observational, descriptive cross-sectional study, with 343 individuals aged 70 years or older from a medium-sized municipality in western Santa Catarina state (SC). Data were collected using the MMSE, the Morais’ Questionnaire, and the IPAQ-SF. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, X² and Spearman’s correlation. Significance was set at p &lt; 0.05. Results: The average physical activity level among 70 to 79-year-olds was 168.55 (± 146.81) minutes a week and 93.91 (± 122.66) in very old adults. IPAQ classification indicated that a higher percentage of very old adults were sedentary (79.5%), while 67.8% of 70 to 79-year-olds were categorized as active/very active. There was a statistically significant correlation between physical activity level, number of self-reported chronic diseases and number of medications. Conclusion: Older adults between 70 and 79 years old are more active than very old adults; older women are more active than their male counterparts; the increase in the number of chronic diseases and medications taken lowers physical activity level.

title: Gestational Outcomes in Patients with Severe Maternal Morbidity Caused by Hypertensive Syndromes

description: Abstract Purpose To evaluate the impact of the presence of criteria for severe maternal morbidity and maternal near miss associated with hypertensive disorders on maternal and perinatal outcomes in a maternity school. Methods The present is a sub-analysis of a larger study involving 27 centers in Brazil that estimated the prevalence of serious maternal morbidity and near miss. It is an analytical and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, involving 928 women who were cared for at Maternidade Escola Assis Chateaubriand (MEAC, in Portuguese), Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC, in Portuguese), from July 2009 to June 2010. The women were diagnosed with near miss according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. The sample was divided into 2 groups: patients with (n = 827) and without hypertension (n = 101). The results were considered statistically significant when p &lt; 0.05. The Pearson chi-squared and Fisher Exact tests were used for the categorical variables, and the Mann–Whitney U test was used for the continuous variables. Results In total, 51 participants with maternal near miss criteria were identified, and 36 of them had hypertensive disorders. Of these, 5 died and were obviously excluded from the near miss final group. In contrast, we observed 867 cases with non-near miss maternal morbidity criteria. During this period, there were 4,617 live births (LBs) in the institution that was studied. Conclusion In the severe morbidity/maternal near miss population, the presence of hypertensive complications was prevalent, constituting a risk factor for both the mother and the fetus.

title: Gender and Sexuality in the Federal Medical Schools in Brazil: an Analysis of the Curricular Pedagogical Projects

description: Abstract Introduction: The Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG) for undergraduate courses in Medicine since 2014 have highlighted the need to include gender and sexuality in the medical school curricula, aiming at better care for people. Method: Thus, the objective is to identify and analyze the approach of gender and sexuality in the Curriculum Pedagogical Projects (CPP) of the medical courses of the Federal Institutions of Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study of descriptive and documentary analysis, carried out through the analysis of CPP, of the undergraduate medical courses of the Federal Universities of Brazil. Data were obtained from the website of the undergraduate medical course of each higher education institution. In addition, emails were sent to the coordinators of these courses to obtain the updated CPPs. For the quantitative analysis, an initial description of the sample was performed followed by a statistical analysis using the chi-square test to assess whether or not there was an association between the presence of gender and / or sexuality debate in CPP, with the publication of the 2014 NCG and with the Brazilian geographic region, as well as between the nature of the curricular unit (compulsory or complementary / optional) and the perspective of the approach. The documentary analysis was used for the qualitative analysis with the content analysis technique, through the thematic analysis method. Results: It was found that 48 (69.56%) of the 69 analyzed CPP discuss the topics gender and / or sexuality in one or more subjects offered by the course. There is a predominance of the sexuality topic, of compulsory curricular units (88.32% of 137 curricular units) and an approach beyond the exclusively biological perspective (63.5% of 48 CPPs and 62.04% of curricular units). No statistical significance was evidenced by the chi-square test. Regarding the documentary analysis, two categories were constructed: “gender and sexuality associated with a biological perspective”, “gender and sexuality associated with a predominantly broader perspective or social determinants in health”. It was observed that the first category predominates in curricular units associated with organs, systems or life cycles of the human being, while the second, to social and human sciences applied to health and Primary Health Care. Conclusions: We conclude there is a significant number of CPPs and, consequently, also of curricular units that have a perspective beyond the exclusively biological approach. Nevertheless, there is difficulty with comprehensive health care that may be related to a selective visibility to pathology and technical aspects of medical practice and a difficulty in effectively promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue between the biological, exact and human sciences as proposed by the NCG.

title: Validation of a Training Model for Performing Laparoscopic Knots and Stitches in a Simulation Environment

description: Abstract: Introduction: To evaluate the progression of competence, learning curve and degree of satisfaction with the training model of medical students undergoing training to perform laparoscopic knots in a simulator. Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal, interventional study, carried out from April 2016 to July 2017, with the participation of 52 students from the Centro Universitário Christus, Fortaleza, Brazil, from the first to the third year of medical school, undergoing theoretical practical, systematic, and methodized training, with progression of skills to perform laparoscopic knots in a simulation environment in four stages, with a total duration of 16 hours. It was established the task of performing laparoscopic stitches, with five simple knots, in the beginning and in the end, in a suture mold, in an abdominal cavity simulator, in 18 minutes. The main outcomes were time and quality of performance. The students were evaluated before the first and after all stages of the training regarding the quantity and quality of the knots or the subject of the stage and satisfaction with the training model. ANOVA and Student’s t tests were performed for the independent samples and the chi-square test for the categorical variables. For variables with serial measurements, general linear models were used. Univariate binomial models were used in the evaluation variables of the training model. P values &lt;0.05 were considered significant. Results: The values of the medians were analyzed between the first and last stages of the training; of the number of simple knots (0.0 and 15.0) and laparoscopic knots (0.0 and 3.0), the adequacy of the sizes of the suture tail ends (0.0 and 11.0), the number of adjusted initial simple knots ( 0.0 and 3.0) and adjusted sequential ones (0.0 and 24.0). There was statistical significance in all evaluated parameters (p&lt; 0.001). The learning curve showed that 99.1% of the students attained competence. The degree of satisfactory evaluation of the training model was considered good or great in 97% or more, with statistical relevance in 8 of the 10 evaluated statements. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the students showed competence progression and learning curve evolution. The degree of student satisfaction in relation to the training model stages was very significant.
