title: Pain and Quality of Life in Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1-Associated Myelopathy or Tropical Spastic Paraparesis After Home-Based Exercise Protocol: A Randomized Clinical Trial

description: Abstract INTRODUCTION: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1-associated myelopathy or tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) causes, among other abnormalities, chronic pain that may impair quality of life (QOL). Home protocols can help those who have difficulty attending rehabilitation centers. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a home-based exercise protocol on pain and QOL in people with HAM/TSP. METHODS: A randomized clinical trial of people with HAM/TSP (World Health Organization criteria) classified as probable or definite. The supervised group (SG) underwent training for 12 weeks and continued the protocol at home for another 12 weeks; the unsupervised group (UG) performed the same protocol at home without physical therapist supervision for 24 weeks; and the control group (CG) maintained the usual care. QOL was assessed by the Short Form-36 health survey and the pain condition by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The Chi-square, analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis, and Friedman tests (5% alpha) were used for the analyses. The intention-to-treat method was adopted in case of follow-up losses. Record number RBR-849jyv/UTN: U1111-1176-2858. RESULTS: Of 56 participants, 49 completed the protocol. Mean pain was moderately reduced (&gt;30%) in the UG and CG and mildly reduced (20%) in the SG. Loss in the vitality score of QOL in the CG was noted. CONCLUSIONS: The protocol generated mild and moderate pain relief and reduced losses in the functional QOL in the treatment groups.

title: Visuality and Slave Management in the Brazilian and Cuban Coffee and Sugar Plantations, c.1840-1880

description: Abstract The aim of the present article is to understand how the new mechanisms of slave management developed in the Cuban and Brazilian sugar and coffee frontiers during the 19th century were connected to a new visuality of slavery. The argument is that it is possible to identify a cluster of new strategies to extract more labor from slaves in the coffee and sugar cane plantations of Brazil and Cuba, which was a response not only to the major reorganization of the world economy under industrial capitalism but also to new patterns of slave resistance. Those strategies can be conceived as part of a new visual regime of New World slavery.

title: Social movements and environmental education research: a study on Brazilian theses and dissertations

description: Abstract: This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between social movements and Environmental Education (EE) in Brazilian theses and dissertations (TD) in EE. It is a state-of-the-art type of research. The development of the documentary corpus included the following steps: definition of search terms; floating reading of abstracts; definition of criteria for selection; search for and reading of the complete works and, finally, definition of the definitive documentary corpus, resulting in nine TDs for analysis. Studies have been identified that deal with the environmental movement, rural social movements and - less markedly - the feminist movement. The contributions of EE to the analyzed social movements and to social movements for the construction of EE in their critical perspective were recurrent. We hope that the construction of this knowledge will make it possible to strengthen relations between the research field of EA and social movements.

title: Photo-selective shade nets on the production and quality of sugarcane plantlets

description: ABSTRACT Brazil is the world’s largest producer of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) and research aimed at propagation has promoted higher quality in production. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the variation of micrometeorological elements on the survival and quality of pre-sprouted sugarcane plantlets. The study was carried out in a protected environment (UFRPE). Plantlets of the cultivar RB92579 were obtained by the technique of production of pre-sprouted plantlets. The protected environments were divided into four modules covered with low-density polyethylene plastic + photo-selective shade nets and one module without shade net. Micrometeorological data of global and photosynthetically active solar radiation, air temperature, substrate temperature, relative humidity and the solar radiation spectrum were recorded in each module. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design and the principal component analysis was used to verify the association between the cultivation modules, micrometeorological variables and crop variables. Anti-UV low-density polyethylene plastic + freshnet led to lower transmittance of global solar radiation, higher percentage of photosynthetically active radiation and lower plantlet mortality. Substrate temperature above 30.2 °C resulted in higher plantlet mortality. Larger spectrum in the red range led to the production of better quality plantlet. The use of freshnet shade net promoted adequate conditions for the cultivation of sugarcane plantlets and allows obtaining better quality plantlets.

title: On the observation of extended microstructures and localized deformations in granular materials - A feature of excat quasi-convex energy envelope

description: Abstract In this paper a most promising scope of the exact quasiconvex energy envelope in modeling the granular materials with microstructures is presented. This study shows that it is possible to observe both the extended microstructures and localized deformations in granular materials using a variational model based on the mathematical relaxation theory. The variational model is derived within the framework of Cosserat continuum. The computational algorithm based on finite element method is used to carry out numerical computations. The features of the proposed model are studied for three representative examples: the Couette shear cell, the rectangular specimen in compression and the indentation of a granular structure. The obtained results demonstrate on the possible applications and features of exact quasiconvex energy envelops in modeling the granular materials.

title: Factors influencing the behavior of auctioneers operating in public procurement by Barreira do Inferno Launching Center (CLBI)

description: Abstract This article aims to analyze the preponderant factors influencing the behavior of auctioneers working for the Barreira do Inferno Launching Center (CLBI) in electronic purchasing processes. The research used references from the theory of purchasing, analyzing organizational and motivational aspects, as well as aspects related to knowledge and abilities. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews with auctioneers. As a result, it was possible to identify that the main factors influencing the auctioneer’s behavior at CLBI were the lack of recognition of the strategic importance of their role, lack of exclusive dedication and specialization.

title: The Brazilian Anthropological Exhibition (1882) and the presentation of Botocudo Indians: first contact performances in a Brazilian human zoo case

description: Abstract This article reconstitutes the Brazilian Anthropological Exhibition, displayed in the Second Empire, in the year 1882, at the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro. The reader it is invited to interpret this forgotten event of Brazilian history, with the intention of reconstituting the presentation of seven Botocudo Indians, brought to court for the purpose of being exposed to the public and at the same time analyzed by the researchers of the National Museum. After the participation of the Botocudo Indians in this exhibition, it is published in the news that some of these same Indians had been sent to Europe, generating heated discussions in the national press. From institutional documents of the National Museum and newspaper reports of the time, this article sheds light on the phenomenon of great anthropological exhibitions of the late nineteenth century, understood here as human zoos. Before this event and the practice of collecting and trafficking people and ethnographic objects, a mirror is opened, from which one can glimpse the formation of Brazilian anthropology and fundamental questions to the national identity.

title: REPRODUCTIVE EFFICIENCY AND BEHAVIOR OF PREGNANT SOWS HOUSED IN CAGES AND COLLECTIVE PENS WITH OR WITHOUT BEDDING

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effect of wood shaving bedding on pregnant sows under two housing conditions. Sixty-four animals were distributed into four treatments, each treatment included 54 sows split into three replicates. A 2 × 2 factorial design was used (two types of housing, collective pens (CP) and combined housing (cages + CP [CCP]); and two types of floor, concrete floor without wood shavings (CFWS-) and concrete floor with wood shavings (CFWS+), allowing establishing the following treatment combinations: CP+CFWS+, CP+CFWS-, CCP+CFWS+, and CCP+CFWS-. Animal behavior, body injuries, reproductive efficiency, and abiotic variables were evaluated. The sows kept on wood shaving bedding presented a higher frequency of standing postures (20.9% and 31.4% for CCP+CFWS- and CCCP+CFWS+ and 20.6% and 39.2% for CP+CFWS- and CP+CFWS+, respectively). The presence of bedding decreased the occurrence of oral stereotypies and the frequency of injuries in the head, neck/shoulder, and side (12.30% and 6.02% for CCP+CFWS- and CCCP+CFWS+, and 8.07% and 5.69% for CP+CFWS- and CP+CFWS+, respectively). The treatments had no effect on stillbirth rates and on the number of piglets born alive, and the number of mummified piglets was higher in CP+CFWS+ than in was in CCP+CFWS-. However, the presence of bedding changed animal activity and decreased the incidence of injuries.

title: Soil cover management: initial development of pear trees hosui cultivar and its effects on soil and weeds

description: Abstract Soil management is a practice that influences the development of fruit trees. In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different soil cover/mulching types on weed control and on the early development of pear trees Hosui cultvar. The experiment was conducted in two consecutive cycles: 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. Treatments consisted of the following soil covers in pear tree planting rows: natural cover, ryegrass straw intercropped with millet, pine sawdust, shading cover (70%), rice husk, Curauá fiber and weeding. Soil infestation by weeds was evaluated in the spring-summer period for two years, as well as the vegetative pear tree development (plant height and diameter and SPAD chlorophyll index). Managements using Curauá fiber and ryegrass straw + millet had the greatest suppression effects on weeds. The height and diameter of pear trees were smaller with natural cover and pine sawdust, while higher plant growth was observed with Curauá fiber and with weeding. Higher SPAD indexes was observed with Curauá fiber, weeding and ryegrass + millet. Curauá fiber also stood out for Fe and Mn leaf contents, while Zn contents were higher with ryegrass + millet and rice husk. Ryegrass straw + millet and rice husk can be highlighted for the chemical attributes of soil fertility and soil macrofauna indexes. It could be concluded that Curauá fiber and azevem + millet weed control weeds in the orchard, thus promoting better initial development of pear trees Hosui cultivar.

title: Molecular characterization of virulence genes cctA, nanA, and fliC in Clostridium chauvoei from Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo State, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: Clostridium chauvoei toxin A (CctA), neuraminidase (NanA), and flagellin (FliC) proteins contribute to the pathogenicity of Clostridium chauvoei, the causative agent of blackleg in cattle. The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic variability of cctA, nanA, and fliC genes in C. chauvoei isolates from the Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo state- Brazil, during different sampling periods. The presence of these genes was verified through PCR amplification and partial gene sequencing of 17 strains. Alignment of PCR amplicons combined with bioinformatics analysis was used in an attempt to study the variability across C. chauvoei solates. The similarity among the partial sequences of cctA and nanA genes was 100%. The sequencing of fliC revealed three different paralog alleles of flagellin, and two strains were seen to be polymorphic, with amino acid alterations in the predicted protein. Overall, this study indicates that strains of C. chauvoei isolated in Brazil are highly conserved with respect to the virulence factors evaluated.

title: Capacity of government in Municipal Health Departments

description: ABSTRACT From the decentralization of Unified Health System (SUS) management, there is a need to discuss the capacity of government, or management, at the municipal level, to implement this policy. This study aims to analyze the capacity of government of Municipal Health Departments in municipalities of Bahia, based on the experience of managers. An online questionnaire, subdivided into 03 dimensions, was applied to 15 managers representing municipal departments of small size (size I) and large size (size II) in the 09 macro regions of health of the state. A punctuation matrix was used, which allowed the quantification and classification of municipalities in each of the dimensions and their capacity to govern. It was obtained that 12 of the municipalities presented moderate, and 03 presented low capacity of government. The dimension related to the organizational design of the Secretariats was the one in which the municipalities presented better performance, followed by work systems in these organizations and professional trajectory of managers. Still, municipalities of size I and those located in more developed regions obtained better overall results. To qualify the managements, it is considered essential to invest in training initiatives and institutional support, prioritizing small size municipalities and located in regions of greater socio-economic vulnerability.
