title: Mobility inequalities in the peripheral areas of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte: a study of retail, leisure and health activities

description: Abstract Peripheral areas in Latin American cities have been historically marked by significant inequalities in mobility. However, nowadays, we observe an important restructuring in trip behaviors. The present paper aims at analyzing mobility inequalities in the peripheral areas of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte. We propose to assess how recent transformations observed in urban peripheries have contributed to the restructuring of daily mobility behaviors. Therefore, a quantitative analysis based on the Origin and Destination Survey is combined with qualitative interviews conducted with inhabitants of peripheries, in order to identify their main mobility strategies.

title: Assessment of rainfall estimates of TRMM satellite on Paraíba state

description: ABSTRACT The spatio-temporal rainfall variability, the low-density of rain gauges and operational problems are complexity factors for hydrologic studies in developing countries such as Brazil. This research evaluates rainfall estimates derived from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 product, version 7, over Paraiba state, in Northeast of Brazil. This study analyzed time series of 212 rain gauges) and TRMM data within a spatial grid of 198 pixels, for a 14-years period (1998-2011). Analyses were carried out punctually for each pluviometer as well as spatially aggregated for the mesoregions Mata, Agreste, Borborema and Sertão, considering daily, 3-days, 7-days and monthly rainfall. Largest agreement between TRMM estimates and observed rainfall was obtained for Sertão region (correlation coefficient r daily = 0,89 and absolute average error EMA monthly = 16mm) and smallest agreement for seaside region (r daily = 0,75 and EMA monthly = 31 mm), i.e., the best agreement was obtained for regions with low rainfall rates. TRMM data underestimated observed rainfall in sites with large rainfall amount (monthly bias of -24 mm in Mata region) and overestimated in sites with low rainfall (monthly bias of +13 in Sertão and of +11 mm in Borborema). The spatially detailed characterization over Paraiba of the quality of the TRMM estimates showed in this work illustrates the potential of using such rainfall estimates for this state, because knowing its errors, their types and quantification tends to raise the trust in using them and also allows applying correction methods.

title: Rheological characteristics PBAT/organoclay compounds

description: Abstract The rheological behavior of poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and its composites prepared with three different organoclays was investigated. Composites containing up to 7.5%, w/w organoclay, were prepared by two routes: (a) direct melt blending in an internal laboratory mixer with high intensity rotors and (b) concentrates (prepared in the internal mixer) with 50 %, by weight, of the organoclays diluted in a co-rotating twin screw extruder equipped with a high intensity mixing thread operating at a nominal speed of 480 rpm. The samples were characterized by both torque and parallel plate rheometry. Results indicate that nanodispersions in the clay layers were obtained during processing and that, like the pure matrix, at high shear rates, the organoclay compounds follow the power law, although with higher viscosity. It is believed that the interaction of the polymer with the organoclay is responsible for the increase in melt viscosity (observed by increases in torque and relaxation time) of the hybrid systems.

title: THE INTERPRETERS AND THE HISTORICAL FORMATION OF BRAZIL: THE FIRST FOUR CENTURIES OF A FORGOTTEN HISTORY

description: Abstract Brazil’s historical formation owes very much to the indispensable work of interpreters since the so-called ‘discovery’ until well advanced the 19th century. In this paper, we highlight the necessity of giving more visibility to interpreters and their contribution to Brazil’s cultural and linguistic history, in order to allow us to draw a more trustworthy picture of the complex relations between cultures, peoples and languages that characterized the country’s first four centuries. To do so, we emphasize the role these cultural agents have played for a re-writing of the translation history in Brazil. These agent, left aside or even invisible in general historiography, become here fundamental to the historical formation of Brazil in all its phases.

title: Factors affecting residents' support for religious tourism development: the case of Santa Cruz (RN), Brazil

description: Abstract This study is about the primary stakeholder management - the resident community, aiming to analyze the factors that can influence the residents' support for the development of religious tourism in Santa Cruz, State of Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Brazil, and the existing interrelationships between factors. In order to achieve this objective, it was necessary to use descriptive research, followed by a quantitative approach with application of questionnaires to 422 residents of Santa Cruz city, RN. The study is based on a model of relationship between variables proposed by Nunkoo and Ramkissoon (2012), it was also used the technique of Structural Equation Modeling - SEM, aiming to explain the relationships between the constructs studied. Findings suggest that the more the residents perceive the benefits generated by tourism, and the more they trust in government actors, responsible for tourism development, the more likely the support of the development of religious tourism will be. We conclude that the structural model that best represents the reality of Santa Cruz, RN is composed of the constructs: benefits and costs of tourism development in the local, as well as trust in government actors.

title: Physiological changes in hybrid Brachiaria cv. Mulato II after accelerated aging to overcome dormancy

description: Abstract: To evaluate the effect of accelerated aging to overcome dormancy of hybrid Brachiaria cv. Mulato II (U. brizantha x U. decumbens x U. ruziziensis), seeds were collected from two lots with and without scarification, submitted to 42 °C and high humidity (98%) for different periods (0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h) and then dried at 30 °C to the humidity of 9.1%. The physiological changes were evaluated by tetrazolium, germination, electrical conductivity, respiratory activity and enzymatic evaluation. The exposure of the hybrid Brachiaria cv. Mulato II to accelerated aging at 42 °C and 98% relative air humidity for up to 96 hours does not alter its viability by the tetrazolium test. Accelerated aging at 42 °C and 98% of humidity for up to 48 hours favors the germination of the scarified seeds of hybrid Brachiaria cv. Mulato II, with increased expression of α-amylase enzyme and reduction of electrical conductivity values. Loss of vigor occurs in scarified seeds of hybrid Brachiaria cv. Mulato II when exposed to accelerated aging at 42 °C and 98% of humidity from 96 hours with consequent changes in enzymatic systems and increased of the respiratory rate.

title: EFFECT OF CIRCUIT RESISTANCE TRAINING ON BLOOD BIOMARKERS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK IN OLDER WOMEN

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of circuit resistance training (CRT) on blood biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in older women. Nineteen physically independent older women (≥ 60 years) were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: control (CG n = 9) and CRT (n = 10). The CRT performed a resistance exercise program for 12 weeks, with 10 exercises. Anthropometry, total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c), glucose were measured. Main effect of time (p &lt; 0.05) was observed for total cholesterol (-9.9%), LDL-c (-16.1%), VLDL-c (-15.9%) and HDL-c (+10.2%) in the CRT. The composite Z-score was reduced for the CRT group but not for CG. It was concluded that CRT can be effective for enhancing some blood biomarkers of CVD risk. In addition, the decrease in composite Z-score suggests that CRT can reduce cardiovascular disease risk in older women.

title: Influence of elastic modulus of intraradicular posts on the fracture load of roots restored with full crowns

description: Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the fracture load and displacement of roots restored with posts of different elastic modulus. Material and method Thirty-six replicas of epoxy resin mixed with glass microfibers were made from an endodontically-treated human premolar root prepared to a length of 12 mm with a custom drill, leaving the apical 4 mm unprepared. Replicas were randomly restored with (n = 12): FP-LM (fiber post with low elastic modulus– 50 GPa), FP-HM (fiber post with high elastic modulus – 67 GPa) and MP (metallic post – 208 GPa), using self-curing adhesive and dual resin cement. Cores were built up with composite resin and metallic crowns were cemented in all the roots with self-adhesive resin cement with self-curing mode. Specimens were subjected to a fracture load test (45° inclination/0.5 mm/min) and displacement was registered at 100 N. Result One-way ANOVA showed that elastic modulus of the post did not affect the fracture load means (p = 0.203) (FP-LM: 237.4 ± 65.11 N; FP-HM: 236.7 ± 92.85 N; MP: 295.8 ± 108.7 N) but was statistically significant for the displacement (p &lt; 0.00): Tukey’s test showed that FP-LM displacement mean (0.81 ± 0.15 mm) was significantly higher than those for FP-HM (0.46 ± 0.26 mm; p = 0.00) and MP (0.62 ± 0.07 mm; p = 0.04). Conclusion Posts with different elastic modulus exhibit similar fracture loads, but a lower displacement is achieved when fiber posts with a high elastic modulus and metallic posts are used.

title: ACUTE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT EXERCISES ORDERS IN THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF REPETITIONS IN PROTOCOLS REALIZED WITH DIFFERENT REPETITION DURATION

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise order of two exercises involving the participation of common musculature (smith machine back squat and leg curl, on the NMR, in two repetition durations. Sixteen trained male volunteers participated in this study. The protocols were performed in two exercise orders and repetition durations (self paced and 4s) in which volunteers realized their NMR in each exercise over two sets, at an intensity of 60% of 1RM, with 90 seconds between sets and 180 seconds between exercises. The ANOVA whit repeated measures were performed for comparison of the NMR and Bonferroni post hoc was applied when necessary. Regarding the self paced repetition duration, both exercises presented a higher NMR when performed as the first exercise than when performed as second. However, there was neither interaction nor main effect of the factors analyzed for the repetition duration of 4s. Therefore, it is concluded that the repetition duration is a variable capable of modifying the results found by the different orders.
