title: E depois da “Lei Eusébio”? Reprodução da escravidão e seus limites em um complexo de fazendas do vale do café (Rio de Janeiro, c. 1864-1888)

description: ABSTRACT In this paper, we will discuss the conditions for slavery reproduction in Rio de Janeiro´s plantations after the end of the Atlantic slave trade. In order to do that, we studied the slavery demography of Commendator Joaquim Breves’ plantations, which were a symbol of slavery expansion on the coffee valley. Through one of the plantations’ registers, we analyze the demographical development in this complex of farms. We demonstrate that, after the 1860s, a broad vegetative growth in those plantations began to develop through a movement that had different meanings to slaves and their owners. Thus, we will analyze the dimensions of slavery reproduction, and its limits, in the two decades preceding the downfall of slavery in Rio de Janeiro’s coffee plantations.

title: Structural reliability analysis of steel plane frames with semi-rigid connections

description: Abstract The design codes for structural design traditionally establish the adoption of partial safety factors to deal with uncertainties. These standards do not allow one to know the real probabilities of failure of a structure. What is needed, from a practical and scientific point of view, is a more consistent approach, based on reliability theory. This article addresses an initial attempt at determining the safety levels of structures based on advanced analysis and design with structural reliability theory. In this context, the authors consider the effects of the geometric nonlinearity and flexibility of connections in the reliability analysis, which aims at setting a certain displacement as the service limit state. For this purpose, a computer program was written called Structural Reliability Module. This program uses a First Order Reliability Method to analyse reliability. To carry out the structural analysis of steel structures, this study uses the program Computational System for Advanced Structural Analysis. Validating the Structural Reliability Module involved comparing the results from other authors with those generated by the program. Results for the structures under study indicate the efficiency of the implemented measures. Results suggest that, when a certain displacement is set as a service limit state, the reliability of the structures under analysis are only slightly influenced by geometric nonlinearity but considerably so by semi-rigid connections.

title: Search for DQ2.5 and DQ8 alleles using a lower cost technique in patients with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease in a population of southern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the frequency of DQ2.5 and DQ8 alleles using the Tag-single-nucleotide polymorphism (Tag-SNP) technique in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and celiac disease (CD) in southern Brazil. Materials and methods In a prospective design, we performed the search for DQA1*0501 and DQB1*0201 alleles for DQ2.5 and DQB1*0302 for DQ8 through Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) technique, using TaqMan Genotyping Assays (Applied Biosystems, USA). The diagnosis of CD was established by duodenal biopsy and genotypic determination performed by StepOne Software v2.3. Allelic and genotypic frequencies were compared between groups using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests and the multiple comparisons using Finner’s adjustment. Results Three hundred and sixty two patients with a median age of 14 years were divided into 3 groups: T1DM without CD (264); T1DM with CD (32) and CD without T1DM (66). In 97% of individuals with T1DM and CD and 76% of individuals with CD without T1DM, respectively, the alleles DQ2.5 and/or DQ8 were identified (p &lt; 0.001). DQ2.5 was more common in individuals with CD (p = 0.004) and DQ8 was more common in individuals with type 1 diabetes (p = 0.008). Conclusions The evaluation of the alleles for DQ2.5 and DQ8 by Tag-SNP technique showed a high negative predictive value among those with T1DM, similar to that described by the conventional technique. The high frequency of DQ8 alleles in individuals with T1DM did not allow differentiating those at higher risk of developing T1DM.

title: THE PRODUCTION OF PROFESSIONAL BLOGS AS REFLEXIVE TOOLS IN PRE-SERVICE ENGLISH TEACHER EDUCATION

description: In this paper, we aim to analyze the production of professional blogs by pre-service English teachers and the roles that such digital language practices may perform in the education of reflexive and critical language teachers. Specifically, we analyzed the blog posts that two pre-service teachers produced and the professional identities that are forged in such a digital language practice. The reported case study is of qualitative and interpretative nature. The data, composed by the pre-service English teachers' blog posts and their experiential narratives regarding the pedagogical practice they experienced, were generated in 2010 in an elective unit in a state university of the north of Paraná. The results demonstrate the emergence of identity conflicts due to the engagement of the pre-service English teachers in the production of digital language practices. These conflicts have generated an impulse towards the reconstruction of the identities of these future English language professionals.

title: Monitoring of caries disease by risk assessments and activity

description: ABSTRACT Dental caries is a non-communicable disease and is considered a public health problem. For diagnosis and correct treatment, the study of risk assessment and caries activity is necessary. The caries risk assessment is a way to formalize the balance and imbalance of predictably disease to diagnose dental caries. Therefore, the caries risk assessment is performed through different evaluation systems. Another parameter of great importance to be studied is the activity of caries, because through it is done the correct treatment decision for the patient. The objective of this article is to inform the reader about: the concepts and caries risk factors; the different caries risk assessment systems described in the literature; and which systems are validated. In addition, this literature review provides for identification and evaluation of risk factors and activity of caries lesions in order to enable greater objectivity in the diagnosis and facilitate the decisions of a successful treatment.

title: Monsters, Bottle Rockets, Bamboos, Balls and the Utmost Depth: enchantments in performances of a streetwise youth

description: Abstract: This article is dedicated to scrutinizing some images and objects produced within a universe of marginalized youth cultures. Given the high flow of youngsters among these cultures, these practices are here understood as a network. Such network involves piXação (graffiti tagging), torcidas organizadas (soccer supporters’ groups, i.e. hooligans, ultras, etc.), bate-bolas (bat-balls, masked carnival clowns) and bailes funk (favela funk parties). They were consequently analyzed with an approach that is interested in the studies of the imaginary, and in their relations with anthropology, philosophy and psychology; the monsters that give name to the sound crews of the bailes funk, the bamboos used by the torcidas organizadas, the balls/balloons swung by the bate-bolas, the weapon-allegory ambivalence of rojões (bottle rockets), and the image of the fundão (utmost depth).

title: 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type-II activity is affected by grapefruit juice and intense muscular work

description: ABSTRACT Objective The enzymatic activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-2 (11β-HSD2) is key to protecting mineral corticoid receptors from cortisol and has been implicated in blood pressure regulation. Grapefruit juice (GFJ) and acidity are thought to inhibit this enzyme in vitro. This study examines the effect of GFJ and intense exercise on 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity in vivo. Subjects and methods Eighteen subjects ingested GFJ or apple juice (CON) on separate days prior to reporting to the laboratory in a randomized order. Saliva (Sal) samples were obtained at baseline, 15 and 45 minutes post-treadmill stress test; Sal cortisone (E) and cortisol (F) levels were determined, and the Sal cortisone:cortisol (E:F) ratio was used as an index of 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity at rest and after intense muscular work. Results GFJ treatment decreased baseline 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity (44%) and Sal-E (28%) compared to CON (both, p &lt; 0.05). Sal-E (r = 0.61, p &lt; 0.05) and Sal-F (r = 0.66, p &lt; 0.05) were correlated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in GFJ-treated individuals. Treadmill stress significantly increased Sal-E and Sal-F but did not alter 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity regardless of treatment. When treatments were examined separately, CON 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity decreased by 36% (p &lt; 0.05) from baseline to 15 post-treadmill exercise. Conclusion Our findings suggest that GFJ and intense muscular work decrease 11β-HSD-2 activity independently, and no additive effect was noted. The association between DBP and the levels of Sal-F and Sal-E during the GFJ trial should be interpreted cautiously and warrants further investigation.

title: Assessment of pregnant, primiparous and postpartum women's knowledge about dental caries

description: OBJECTIVE: To make a comparative assessment of primiparous and multiparous mothers' knowledge about dental caries, access to information and use of dental services during pregnancy. METHODS: This cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted in a Reference Maternity center for the Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte, with 100 women aged between 12 and 45 years, who answered a structured questionnaire. RESULTS: The majority of patients received information on oral health (70%) (p=0.24), but only 42% sought dental care during pregnancy (p = 0.45). The interviewees considered caries (80%) (p=0.80), a communicable disease (64%) (p=0.29) arising due to inadequate brushing (60%) (p=0.37). Pregnant women considered a brush with soft bristles and small head appropriate (59%) (p=0.83) and reported that the amount of toothpaste should extend over the entire brush (46%) (p=0.04). "Brush your teeth" was the most cited response (70.9%) in their speeches on caries prevention. CONCLUSIONS: In general the mothers in this study presented similar characteristics as regards knowledge about dental caries, access to information and use of dental services, however, there was significant difference between the groups for the variable quantity of toothpaste used. Nevertheless, some aspects such as the multifactorial etiology of dental caries, biofilm, use of dentifrices, and seeking information and dental services from the perspective or oral health prevention and promotion still need to be worked on among these mothers. These are simple aspects that must be considered in daily care by both pregnant and multiparous women

title: Seed quality and crop performance of soybeans submitted to different forms of treatment and seed size

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different grain sizes and treatments in the physiological quality of seeds and performance of soybean cultures. The object of analysis were seeds from the cultivars Monsoy 5730 IPRO and Monsoy 5947 IPRO, sized 5.5 and 6.5 mm. The industrial seed treatment was carried out in lot equipment, with the products cyantraniliprole, thiamethoxam, metalaxyl, thiabendazole, and a combination of fludioxonil + polymer + talc. The conventional treatment was performed with the products cyantraniliprole, thiamethoxam, metalaxyl, thiabendazole, and fludioxonil. Part of the seeds was kept untreated (control). The experiment used a randomized block design, with four replications. The parameters assessed include the moisture content measurement, seed coating, germination, first germination count, field emergence, survival rate, and grain yield (right after the seed treatment and after 45 days of storage). The industrial treatment method produced a better seed coating. As for seed size, it had no effect on quality or grain yield. Last, the treated seeds presented the best results for emergence in field, while the industrial treatment achieved the highest productivity.
