title: Functional dependency and associated factor in elderly living with relatives

description: Abstract Introduction Population aging brings many challenges, including family support for the elderly with disabilities. Methods A cross-sectional study with analytical approach, which aimed to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with functional dependence of the elderly living with relatives was performed. The study was the type census, conducted with 191 elderly people who lived with the family and were assisted by the Family Health Strategy. Household interviews were conducted and functional evaluation was made using the Katz Index and the Barthel Index. Results It was observed that 94.2% of the elderly were independent to basic activities and 51.3% independent in instrumental activities of daily living. A joint evaluation, 52.3% of the elderly were independent in both. In the bivariate analysis, the functional dependence was associated with female sex, age higher than 80 years, hospitalizations, heart disease and depression. Conclusion We concluded that the assessment of health of the elderly must take into account many factors, including those related to family issues and functional status.

title: Hands that dance and translate: poems in Brazilian sign language

description: abstract This research explores the poetry chest in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) that has been a part of the history of the Brazilian deaf community. We use the chest as an image that alludes to a collection of treasures and antiques. In this framework, the sign-language poems reference the richness of the hearing-impaired community. The research question that guides this essay is how is sign language used in poems and which are its preferred themes? In other words, what do the poems say and how? Using these questions, the objective is to analyze the use of sign language and the privileged themes in selected poems. The methodology used for the development of the research is qualitative analysis. The essay considers the use of sign language by the hearing-impaired in sign-language poems. For this, we analyze two poems recorded on videos, with subsequent translation from Libras to Portuguese, in order to facilitate the description and analysis of the material and the register recurrences found in the poems. The essay shows that the poems analyzed relate to important themes in the deaf community, such as the training of the deaf (in “O balé das mãos” [The Hands Ballet]) and Libras interpreters (in “Dia dos intérpretes” [Interpreters’ Day]) and linguistically highlight forms of artistic production in sign language.

title: Experimental and Numerical Study of the Unsteady Wake of a Supercritical Airfoil in a Compressible Flow

description: ABSTRACT Experimental investigations were carried out to study the wake profile of a supercritical airfoil at Mach numbers of 0.4 and 0.6 in a pitching motion. Both static and dynamic tests were conducted in a tri-sonic wind tunnel. Flow field inside the wake was measured by hot wire anemometry at downstream distances of 0.25 and 0.5 times the chord length from trailing edge. All data were taken at mean incidence angle of 3º; the amplitude of oscillation was 3º and the oscillation frequencies were 3 and 6 Hz. Moreover, numerical study was applied for the same airfoil under similar experimental test conditions; finally, wake profiles obtained from both numerical and experimental methods were compared.

title: Mechanical strength of briquettes for use in blast furnaces

description: Abstract The demand for sustainable materials in the steel industry and the search for alternatives for the traditional ferriferous burdens utilized in siderurgy stimulated the development of this research. The briquetting process is a usual measure taken for recycling materials such as ironmaking waste (dust and sludge from blast furnaces), which can be reutilized in steel plants. The objective of this article is to investigate the influence of the use of organic and inorganic binders, blast furnace dust and sludge on the mechanical strength of briquettes for use in blast furnaces. The mechanical analysis was performed with the results from tumbling tests, executed to obtain the strength of each sample composition. The results exhibited adequate values of mechanical strength for samples that contained BBTL and BBTX binder, indicating that these materials acted as good binders in the briquetting process.

title: Predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis evaluated by carotid intima-media thickness in asymptomatic young women with type 1 diabetes mellitus

description: ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence and clinical predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic, young adult women with type 1 DM. Subjects and methods The study included 45 women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) (aged 36 ± 9 years) who underwent carotid Doppler ultrasound evaluation to determine the carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and to assess the occurrence of carotid artery plaques. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), and metabolic syndrome (MS) was defined by the World Health Organization criteria. Results The cohort had a mean age of 36 ± 9 years, diabetes duration of 18.1 ± 9.5 years, and body mass index (BMI) of 24.6 ± 2.4 kg/m2. MS was present in 44.4% of the participants. The CIMT was 0.25 ± 0.28 mm, and the prevalence of carotid artery plaques was 13%. CIMT correlated positively with hypertension (p = 0.04) and waist-to-hip ratio (r = 0.37, p = 0.012). The presence of carotid artery plaques correlated positively with age (p = 0.018) and hypertension (p = 0.017). eGDR correlated negatively with CIMT (r = -0.39, p = 0.009) and carotid plaques (p = 0.04). Albuminuria showed a correlation trend with CIMT (p = 0.06). Patients with carotid artery plaques were older, had a higher prevalence of hypertension, and lower eGDR. No correlation was found between CIMT and carotid plaques with diabetes duration, MS, BMI, cholesterol profile, glycated hemoglobin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, or fibrinogen. Conclusion Insulin resistance, central obesity, hypertension, and older age were predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic, young adult women with type 1 DM.

title: Lexical-Semantic Integration by Good And Poor Reading Comprehenders

description: Abstract: In this paper1, we investigate the level of vocabulary knowledge and the lexical-integration ability of good and poor comprehenders at the 8th grade of Elementary School. The participants were assessed in the following tasks: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, decoding, vocabulary, lexical-semantic integration and incongruence detection. The performance comparison revealed that good comprehenders performed significantly better than poor comprehenders in the measures of vocabulary and integration. The difference in the accuracy of the integration tasks remained significant after controlling for word knowledge. The results suggest that good and poor comprehenders differentiate not only in lexical semantic knowledge but also in lexical-semantic processing.

title: Acceptance and use of technology by older adults for choosing a tour-ism destination: a study using UTAUT2

description: Abstract Older adults are increasingly interested in new technologies and relate them to learning, social inclusion, and leisure. Considering the high number of changes in the profile of the Brazilian elderly and the tourism and technological contexts, this work aims to understand the behavioral intentions and the use of the Internet by the elderly for choosing a tourism destination. To this end, the work extended the UTAUT2 Model of Venkatesh, Thong and Xu (2012), including new constructs related to technology: Perceived Risk and Trust, by Slade et al. (2015) and adding Attitude, based on Curras-Perez, Ruiz-Mafe and Sanz-Blas (2014). The study is characterized as exploratory-descriptive. A survey was conducted online and face-to-face, for two months. Statistical analysis of multivariate analysis was performed using SPSS20 and the modeling analysis of structural equations using SmartPLS. The sample obtained was of 211 older adults who use Internet for tourism purposes. As a result, the relations of the Habit, Hedonic Motivation, Trust, and Performance Expectancy as determinants of the Internet Use Attitude for tourism purposes and, in addition to that, the relation of the Habit construct, positively affecting the Use Behavior. As far as the originality of the work is concerned, Attitude was a new concept used to compose the model, bringing something unprecedented to this field of studies in Brazil. In addition, the innovations include the application of the UTAUT2 model to the Brazilian context, in a segment and market sector not yet explored in this field of research - older people and tourism.
