title: Familiar factors and illicit drug use among Brazilian adolescents: an analysis of the Brazilian National Survey of School Health (PeNSE, 2015)

description: Illicit drug use is related to individual characteristics; however, social and family environments seem to be associated with this consumption. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of the relationships between parents or guardians and Brazilian adolescents that use illicit drugs. This is a cross-sectional study with data from the Brazilian National Survey of School Health (PeNSE, 2015), in which the target population was school children from the ninth grade (eighth year). A total of 102,072 students were included in the current research, being 52,782 females and 49,290 males. Illicit drug use was the outcome and family relationship factors were the exposure. For adjustments, factors as sociodemographic characteristics, mental health, as well as tobacco and alcohol use were established. Univariate and multivariate analysis stratified by sex was conducted through Poisson regression, with a robust variance estimator to calculate the prevalence ratio and the 95% confidence interval. The general prevalence of illicit drug use was 3.8%; 3.3% among females and 4.4% among males. The following factors increase the prevalence ratio for illicit drug use in adolescents: not living with their parents, not feeling supervised by parents, and skipping classes without parents’ consent. Never feeling understood by parents and frequent physical aggressions by family members were also associated with illicit drug use. Family relationships collaborate to illicit drug use among Brazilian adolescents, considering their sociodemographic factors, alcohol and smoking habits and parents and friends’ profiles.

title: Lemierre syndrome: case report

description: Abstract Lemierre syndrome is characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, after an oropharyngeal infection, with septic embolization to the lungs or other organs. This case report describes a 37-year-old female patient who presented with edema and pain in the right hemiface with onset 3 days previously and progressive fatigue and dyspnea since the previous day. She had had tooth 48 extracted 3 days previously. Physical examination at admission found tachypnea, with 60% saturation (in room air), edema at the angle of the right mandible, diffuse reduction of vesicular murmur, and calves free from clubbing. Angiotomography of the chest and laboratory tests were compatible with septic emboli, and cervical computed tomography confirmed a diagnosis of septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. She was managed with antibiotics and given treatment for her symptoms. Lemierre syndrome most often occurs in young men and there is embolization to the lungs in up to 97% of cases. Rarely, the etiology of this syndrome may be tooth extraction. Computed tomography is the imaging method most often used for diagnosis and treatment is basically antibiotic. Surgery is thus rarely necessary.

title: Elevation of Oxidized Lipoprotein of Low Density in Users of Combined Oral Contraceptives

description: Abstract Background: The use of combined oral contraceptive (COC) has been related to changes in glycemic, lipid metabolism, increased oxidative stress, and systemic blood pressure, which could suggest a higher oxidation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) in women on use of COC. Objective: To test the hypothesis that there is a difference in the plasma values of oxidized LDL among women who use and do not use COC, as well as to evaluate the correlation between it and the lipid profile and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Methods: Forty-two women with ages between 18 and 35 years old, who were eutrophic, irregularly active, with triglycerides &lt; 150 mg/dL, blood glucose &lt; 100 mg/dL, and who used or did not use COC were selected. These women were allocated in the COC group, formed by 21 women on COC use for at least 1 year; and a control group (CG), consisting of 21 women who had not used any type of hormonal contraceptive for at least 1 year. A significance level of 5% was adopted for statistical analyses. Results: It was observed that GCOC showed higher values of oxidized LDL than the CG, respectively 384 mU/mL versus 283 mU/mL (p &lt; 0.01). A positive correlation between oxidized LDL and LDL-cholesterol (r = 0.3, p &lt; 0.05), with total cholesterol (r = 0.47, p &lt; 0.01) and with triglycerides (r = 0.32, p &lt; 0.03) was observed, and there was no correlation with the hs-CRP. In the categorized analysis of oxidized LDL, 71.4% of GCOC women, and 28.6% of the CG remained above the established cutoff point. Conclusion: Women who use COC have higher plasma levels of oxidized LDL, and there is a positive correlation between oxidized LDL and other lipid variables.

title: Evaluation of the transition process from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015: a study focused on chemical companies in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

description: Abstract The ISO 9001 norm has been widely used in the implementation and maintenance of Quality Management Systems (QMS) in Brazil and all over the world. This study aims to identify the chemical companies’ perceptions of the ISO 9001 transition: version 2008 to version 2015, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. In this context, the methodology used was a survey research with a structured questionnaire based on the 5-points Likert’s scale. This questionnaire was sent to all chemical companies certified in ISO 9001, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. In addition, quality managers of three of these companies replied to semi-structured interviews with open questions. In general, the companies agree with the changes brought by the new version of the norm and believe it to be beneficial to the organization. Although some companies haven’t made much towards this update and point out difficulties in implementing the new norm’s requirements, most of the companies consider the ISO 9001:2015 better than its previous version. It can be asserted that the companies that choose to adopt these modifications due to concerns about a continuous improvement of the QMS will have greater benefits than those companies that choose to implement the modifications only to keep their certificate valid.

title: The French Way of St. James as an Engine in the Invigoration of Rural Municipalities in Galicia

description: Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the invigorating effect of the Way of St. James in the Galician rural areas. To do so, we have chosen as a territorial scope the 14 rural municipalities that the “French Way” crosses in this Autonomous Community. The utilized data come from the Bank of Municipal Data of Instituto Galego de Estatística (IGE). A double approximation on the impact of this route has been made: on one hand, we analyze the behavior of different socioeconomic variables during the last two decades in the selected municipalities. On the other hand, we examine to what extent a more favorable dynamic has been witnessed in similar rural territories that do not have access to this product. Although the results of the analysis should be taken as a first approximation, data point to the existence of a very moderate impact of the Way of St. James, in the sense that the development of tourism activities linked to the Way are not sufficient to reverse the demographic and economic decline of these rural areas.

title: INDIVIDUAL AND CONTEXTUAL DETERMINANTS OF PARTY SYMPATHY IN LATIN AMERICA

description: The Latin American political context is marked by the recurrence of fragile programmatic and ideological links between voters and parties, as well as marked electoral volatility and decreasing levels of political trust. Despite this scenario, parties remain central to the functioning of democracies in the region, as well as in consolidated regimes. Understanding that one of the central elements in the dynamics of party systems is the link between voters and parties, our objective is to identify the individual and contextual foundations of party sympathy manifestation among Latin American voters. We propose hierarchical regression models with individual data from the Latin American Public Opinion Project (Lapop) and information from national political and economic contexts. The results point to the preponderance of the explanatory capacity of the democracy age in relation to individual and national characteristics (economic, political and partisan).

title: THE SMALL INVESTOR IN THE BRAZILIAN STOCK MARKET: RISE AND FALL OF AN ECONOMIC AGENT

description: Markets and economic agents do not spontaneously arise from opportunities to maximize gains or minimize losses. This article aims at addressing both the social and the material construction of the “small investors” boom in the Brazilian stock market within the context of the historically unprecedented “bull” market, experienced in Brazil between 2003 and 2008. First, I shall evidence the diffusion of the legitimation discourses on the practice of stock investments, moving forward to the presentation of the technological artifacts that constitute the calculation agency of such small investors, as well as their cognitive competences and investment styles. To conclude, I make an attempt to discuss the effects ignited by both the financial crisis of 2008 and the present context of a “bearish” and volatile market on the sensible retraction of the small investor participation on financial volume traded in the Brazilian stock market.

title: Treatment optimization of greywater from the combined use of chemical coagulants

description: ABSTRACT With the growing demand and shortage of water, efforts are needed to enable alternative sources of supply. Thus, this work was focused on optimizing the treatment of greywater by associating the chemical coagulants aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride, to enable their reuse. Therefore, the research was divided into three stages: characterization greywater from basin and shower of a single-family residence; assessing the combined use of aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride, prepared in 5% solution for the treatment of greywater, optimizing the concentrations of chemical coagulants applying Central Composed of Rotational Design and evaluating the data via Methodology Surface Response and Global Desirability; and evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed treatment, comparing the optimum dosages determined with laboratory tests. The results indicated that the combination of aluminum sulfate (concentration 0.470 g.L-1) and ferric chloride (concentration 0.115 g.L-1) potentiated treatment, achieving a removal of greywater turbidity of up to 94%; also, thermotolerant coliforms and residual chlorine were reduced, making it possible to reuse them in the discharge of toilets and in irrigation.

title: Evaluation of glyphosate effect concentration to control Eichhornia crassipes and Salvinia sp.

description: ABSTRACT The possibility of using herbicides in an aquatic ecosystem, to macrophytes control in unbalanced conditions, led to the need for studies that evaluate the concentration of effect that is effective and ecologically balanced, without causing major impacts to the non-target organisms in the aquatic ecosystem. The glyphosate is the active ingredient of some herbicides and it is known for its efficacy due its broad-spectrum and non-selectivity. This study investigated the minor concentration of effect to control Eichhornia crassipes and Salvinia sp., in experiments conducted in triplicate and observed during a period of 20 days after glyphosate application in the concentrations: 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 e 100 L.ha-1. It was verified that only the concentration of 100 L.ha-1 had significant difference of effect when compared to the control. The effect at the end of the twentieth day it was superior to 90%, becoming apparent from the tenth day on. It was observed a small difference in sensibility between the evaluated species; however, the concentration of effect was similar. The dose of 100 L.ha-1 prevented the occurrence of regrowth during thirty days, and caused a residual effect in vegetal species inserted in the environment after the herbicide application.
