title: Constraints from magnetotellurics on the geological structure across a seismic area associated with water wells in the Paraná basin, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: The occurrence of earthquakes associated with the opening of groundwater wells is a very rare phenomenon. We present the results from a magnetotelluric profile of about 4 km-long that crosses a seismic zone near the town of Bebedouro, in the Northeastern part of the intra-cratonic Paraná basin, in Brazil. The seismic activity is thought to be caused by a raise in pore-pressure within a fractured basalt aquifer due to the natural injection of water from the shallow aquifer into the basalt. Regularized 2D inversions of the magnetotelluric data show that the basalt layer presents both electric resistivity (60-300 ohm-m) and thickness (400-600 m) within the expected ranges for the study area. However, an unforeseen abrupt change (~200 m) in the basalt thickness has been observed. This variation occurs close to the Western limit of the seismic zone and it nearly coincides with a geoelectric basement deepening of about 600 m. We interpret these lateral contrasts as a fault system that probably controlled the deposition of the Permian to Jurassic volcano-sedimentary sequence under the study area. Our study suggests that a preexisting structure affecting the basement and the basaltic layer is determinant in favoring seismicity associated with the opening of water wells.

title: Factors associated with pregnancy among adolescents of a municipality of northeast of Brazil

description: Abstract Background Early pregnancy is a prevalent public health issue that impacts on the health and social representations of young women. Objective This study aimed to investigate factors associated with adolescent pregnancy. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out with 234 women aged between 12 and 19 years (108 pregnant and 126 non-pregnant women). A questionnaire containing sociodemographic, obstetrical and behavioral variables was applied. For the analysis, the chi-square or Fisher's exact test was performed at a significance level of 5%. The odds ratio and the 95% confidence interval were used as measures of association between variables. A multiple logistic regression was performed considering the outcome of early pregnancy. Results The number of children, the planning of pregnancy and the use of contraceptive methods were significantly associated with teenage pregnancy (p &lt;0.05). In the regression, number of children (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.10-0.48), exercise of paid activity (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.22-0.94), and use of contraceptive methods (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.21-0.80) are considered protective predictor variables. It was also showed that the non-planning of gravity increased 2.48 times the chance of early pregnancy. Conclusion Adolescent pregnancy is associated with sociodemographic, sexual behavior and family planning conditionalities.

title: Recovery of degraded “Brachiaria decumbens” pasture with the introduction of Stylosanthes and phosphorus fertilization

description: SUMMARY This work aimed at evaluating the possibility of recovery of a degradedBrachiaria decumbens pasture with the introduction ofStylosanthes legumes and phosphorus fertilization. The experiment consisted of different input methods in a randomized complete block design with split plots (fertilized with and without phosphorus), with four repetitions and composed by the following treatments: control Brachiaria decumbens; partial drying with 1.5L ha-1 glyphosate; total drying with 3.0L ha-1 glyphosate; tillage; scarifying the soil; rome harrowing and plowing more harrowing. In the rome harrowing and plowing more harrowing treatments , the legume sowing was made by throwing, and the others by direct seeding. Six cuts were made to separate the morphological components of fodder and botanical composition. The highest total dry mass accumulation was found for partial drying with 1.5 L ha-1 glyphosate, rome harrowing, plowing more harrowing and total drying with 3.0 L ha-1 glyphosate in relation to tillage and control groups. The chemical composition was better in the springtime, CP and ADF showed significant differences between all treatments (P&lt;0.05). The phosphate fertilizer took effect to ADF in the spring and fall seasons. The introduction of legumes through harrowing and plowing more harrowing, promoted the highest productivity in the total biomass and the partial and total drying increased the legume participation. The phosphorus fertilization only showed positive results in productivity and legume participation during the summer season.

title: Brazilian municipalities planning and prepare tools for Protection Policy and Civil Defense

description: AbstractAssuming that municipalities must follow a master plan and laws capable to stop risk areas occupation, we sought to understand the Brazilian municipalities’ preparedness level in the context of National Protection Policy of Protection and Civil Defense – PNPDEC – (Law 12.608/2012), which changes Brazilian Lehmann’s Law and Brazilian Cities’ Statute. This research used data from the dataset from the Municipalities Basic Information Research Query – MUNIC/IBGE/2013. We concluded that few municipalities incorporated the PNPDEC directions. Some of them, although having mapped and monitored risk areas, have not adapted to those new directions, including municipalities with risk areas mapped and monitored by the relevant bodies. We suggest special attention from the sectors of planning, construction and infrastructure, civil defense, environmental, health, etc. so that normative instruments are used in the city’s planning, as technical criteria and environmental weaknesses. Technical and popular training is also essential for a organized occupation (public and private) and to build resilient cities.

title: City information modeling for urban regulation of squatter settlements in Fortaleza-Brazil

description: Abstract Recent studies have established the role of urban planning policies in feeding the growth of informal settlements in Brazilian cities, through socio-spatial exclusion of low-income residents. The difficulties of reversing the exclusionary logic are due to several complex political, economic and cultural factors. We discuss here a factor very little discussed in the national literature: the mode of representation of the city, and in particular the invisibility of the informal city. We develop this argument from the case of Fortaleza, using documental analysis of urban plans and spatial analysis on the scale of the city and a neighbourhood. We apply a methodology that combines geoprocessing and information modeling to produce data. These data highlight the enormous distance between urban regulations and the actual urban form, and serve as a subsidy for the redefinition of urban rules for informal settlements through the Special Zones of Social Interest (ZEIS).This methodology revealed both, the inadequacy of current zoning codes but also discuss some potentialities of geographic information modeling to subsidize their re-definition.

title: Dyslipidemia in children and adolescents of the municipality of Marau-RS

description: Abstract Background Cardiovascular diseases are considered one of the main health conditions nowadays. The lipid profile of children and adolescents is directly associated with the prevalence of coronary disease in adults, since the atherosclerotic process begins to develop in youth and progresses in adult life. Objective To evaluate the lipid profile of children and adolescents in the city of Marau-RS. Method A retrospective study was carried out to evaluate the lipid profile of children and adolescents aged 1 to 19 years, from April 2016 to July 2017, a total of 272 patients. Results Among the patients analyzed, 34.7% presented hypercholesterolemia, 56.7% had below-desirable HDL levels, 16% had increased LDL levels and 16% had hypertriglyceridemia. Statistical analysis of the results shows a significantly higher concentration of total cholesterol, HDL and Triglycerides in girls when compared to boys. Conclusion The high percentage of dyslipidemia in childhood points to the need to implement public policies for the prevention of juvenile dyslipidemia. Thus minimizing cardiovascular diseases related to adult life in the population.

title: Age and palaeoenvironments of the Manacapuru Formation, Presidente Figueiredo (AM) region, Lochkovian of the Amazonas Basin

description: Abstract The Manacapuru Formation, Amazonas Basin, outcrops on the margins of a highway in the region of Presidente Figueiredo, state of Amazonas. A systematic palynological and a lithofaciological analysis was carried out aiming to contribute to the paleoenvironmental understanding of the Manacapuru Formation and its respective age. The present work uses the analysis of the chitinozoan for biostratigraphic purposes as a tool. A total of 27 samples were collected in which an assemblage of lower Lochkovian can be recognized, whose characteristic species are Angochitina filosa, Cingulochitina ervensis, Lagenochitina navicula, and Pterochitina megavelata. It was possible to identify an intense reworking in the exposure, evidenced by the presence of paleofaunas ranging from Ludfordian to Pridolian, which may be associated to the constant storm events that reached the shelf. The lithofaciological analysis allowed the recognition of 6 predominantly muddy sedimentary lithofacies with sandy intercalations that suggest deposition in an offshore region inserted in a shallow marine shelf and influenced by storms.

title: The Negative Evidence Hypothesis: The Acquisition of the Double-Object Construction by Brazilian-Portuguese English Bilinguals

description: Abstract: This study aims to add to the body of evidence regarding the linguistic structures that seem to be more challenging in L2 acquisition than in L1 acquisition (DeKeyser, 2005; Ellis, 2008; Inagaki, 2001; Slabakova, 2014; Sorace, 2011). The Negative Evidence Hypothesis (NEH) (Oliveira, 2016) predicts that bilinguals are less sensitive than native speakers to violations resulted from the overgeneralization of an L2-specific rule. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing the behavior of Brazilian Portuguese-English bilinguals with different profiles towards the double-object construction in English with unlicensed verbs in two acceptability judgment tasks. The results corroborate the NEH by conveying that bilinguals gain sensitivity as they become more proficient, yet, the data suggest that not even when immersed in the L2, they become as sensitive as native speakers.

title: Parasitism of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) on two fruit fly species

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to investigate the parasitism of two fruit fly species by different Diachasmimorpha longicaudata strains. Females of two parasitoid strains were reared on Ceratitis capitata or Anastrepha fraterculus that were conditioned in adapted containers. Individual parasitoids were offered 20 larvae for 1 h, using no-choice (20 C. capitata or 20 A. fraterculus) or free-choice (10 of each species) assays. Parasitism was verified by counting scars, and the pupae were classified as non-parasitized (no scars), parasitized (one scar), or superparasitized (multiple scars). Parasitism intensity was compared by evaluating the proportions of non-parasitized, parasitized, and superparasitized larvae. Parasitism intensity and scar frequency were analyzed as functions of host species and parasitoid strain, using chi-square tests. In the non-choice tests, females of both parasitoid strains parasitized the larvae, regardless of host species. However, when the parasitoids had a choice, they preferred to superparasitize A. fraterculus larvae, which are larger than C. capitata larvae. In addition, the female parasitoids parasitized most of the host larvae, regardless of parasitoid strain or host species. However, the frequency of non-parasitized pupae was higher when the offered host species was different from the one in which the parasitoid was reared, and the frequency of superparasitized pupae was higher when the offered host species was the same as the one in which the parasitoid was reared.

title: Riparian vegetation structure and soil variables in Pandeiros river, Brazil

description: Abstract This study analyzed the floristic, structural variations and their relationships with soil variables in two stretches of riparian vegetation in an ecotonal region between savanna and semiarid zones. We following the hypothesis of despite the proximity between the sampled areas, soil conditions are distinct and lead to changes in structure and composition of the vegetation. This study was development at EPA of Pandeiros River, Minas Gerais, where we allocated 140 plots of 10 × 10 m (100 m2), with 10 m distance between plots, in two areas of riparian vegetation, named Larga and São Domingos (70 plots in each area), where we conducted the phytosociological survey and collected soil samples. In total, 751 arboreal individuals were sampled, distributed in 89 species and 35 botanical families. The areas differed strongly in structure and species composition, and showed floristic peculiarities and influence of surrounding vegetation. Despite of low distance between the sampled areas, these are singular environments influenced by different soils, by the mixed composition of the ecotonal area and the anthropogenic impacts to which they are exposed.
