title: Qualitative study of an oral health education program

description: Abstract Introduction Oral health education has been based on the assumptions of banking education (BE). The aim is to substitute this with popular education (PE) characterized by dialogical construction. This qualitative study aims to understand the perception of those involved in a health education program, conducted in the state of Santa Catarina. Methods Data collection was carried out with 4 focus groups, one in each city visited, involving 3 to 12 teachers and administrators in each group. Results Content analysis by Bardin resulted in three categories: Perceptions about methodological aspects, content and participants. Conclusions The program was perceived as an opportunity to share experiences regarding oral health, including school work. We identified two practices of educational concepts (BE and PE), denoting transition traits and difficulty to achieve this exchange explained by the features of the program and the historical processes in the field of oral health.

title: Mapping iron oxides with Landsat-8/OLI and EO-1/Hyperion imagery from the Serra Norte iron deposits in the Carajás Mineral Province, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: Mapping methods for iron oxides and clay minerals, using Landsat-8/Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Earth Observing 1 (EO-1)/Hyperion imagery integrated with airborne geophysical data, were applied in the N4, N5, and N4WS iron deposits, Serra Norte, Carajás, Brazil. Band ratios were achieved on Landsat-8/OLI imagery, allowing the recognition of the main minerals from iron deposits. The Landsat-8/OLI imagery showed a robust performance for iron oxide exploration, even in vegetated shrub areas. Feature extraction and Spectral Angle Mapper hyperspectral classification methods were carried out on EO-1/Hyperion imagery with good results for mapping high-grade iron ore, the hematite-goethite ratio, and clay minerals from regolith. The EO-1/Hyperion imagery proved an excellent tool for fast remote mineral mapping in open-pit areas, as well as mapping waste and tailing disposal facilities. An unsupervised classification was carried out on a data set consisting of EO-1/Hyperion visible near-infrared 74 bands, Landsat-8/OLI-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging-derived Digital Terrain Model, and high-resolution airborne geophysical data (gamma ray spectrometry, Tzz component of gradiometric gravimetry data). This multisource classification proved to be an adequate alternative for mapping iron oxides in vegetated shrub areas and to enhance the geology of the regolith and mineralized areas.

title: THE FRANCISCANS IN PARAÍBA: RELIGIOUS FORMATION, EDUCATION AND CONVENTUAL LIBRARY (18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES)

description: Abstract This paper analyses the intra and extramural educational work of Franciscan Friars in the Province of St. Anthony of Brazil, with special focus on Paraíba, between 18th and 19th centuries. The paper intends, basing upon some documental sources, understand how the Friars were designated to teach and lecture functions and identify, from two lists established by the provincial superior in 1779 and sent to Queen Mary I from Portugal, which of the professed friars of the Province exercised these functions. The importance of monastic libraries for teaching activities of Franciscans in the entire religious Province is also analysed, as well as the library’s collection of Paraíba convent through an inventory done by the Order in 1852.

title: Does Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure Affect Left Atrial Performance?

description: Abstract Background: Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion may be an alternative therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with contraindication for anti-coagulation therapy. However, the influence of LAA occlusion on left atrial (LA) performance has not been studied. Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the influence of percutaneous LAA occlusion device on LA function by transthoracic echocardiography plus speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE). Methods: We included 16 patients undergoing percutaneous LAA closure with adequate echocardiographic window for the study of LA mechanics. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed before and after the procedure. LA volumes were calculated using the biplane method, and LA mechanics were assessed using STE. The analysis focused on the LA reservoir phase strain and strain rate. Results: Seventy-five percent of patients had permanent atrial fibrillation. Embolic and bleeding risk scores used were CHA2DS2-VASc [median of 4-5] and HAS-BLED [median of 2-3]. Major bleeding (62%) was the most common indication for the procedure. Percutaneous LAA closure was performed successfully in all patients, without major complications. No differences were found in maximum LA volume (44 ± 11 vs. 46 ± 13 mL/m2; p = 0.54), minimum LA volume (32 ± 8 vs. 37 ± 14 mL/m2; p = 0.09) or LA emptying fraction (26 ± 17 vs. 21 ± 14%; p = 0.33) before and after the procedure. Similarly, no differences were noted in left atrial strain (13.7 ± 11.1 vs. 13.0 ± 8.8%; p = 0.63) or strain rate (1.06 ± 0.26 vs. 1.13 ± 0.34 s-1; p = 0.38) in the reservoir phase. Conclusions: Our data suggest that percutaneous LAA closure does not affect LA reservoir function.

title: Carneiro Leão and the Reform of Foreign Languages in Brazil (1930-1934)

description: Abstract: Carneiro Leão’s proposal for a reform in the teaching of foreign languagesat secondary school level, at the Colégio D. Pedro II, between 1930 and 1934, is analyzed. Results show that Carneiro Leão was in favor of a foreign language reform featuring an active and dynamic learning process within the context of engagement in the ideals of an active school. In fact, Carneiro Leão gave a new identity to the study of languages, ensuring a convincingly practical and useful teaching, without the disassociation of the characteristics of the Humanities for people who needed training for production means in the country’s commerce and industry.

title: Gender Ideology: an analysis methodology

description: Abstract: This paper proposes a two-step model for the inference of discourse on textual databases. The focus is on gender ideology and the action of EscolasemPartido.org and the Free Brazil Movement (Movimento Brasil Livre) on social networks, as well as the presence of the debate on the subject in the Chamber of Deputies. The first stage consists of a discourse analysis, made from the contributions of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler. The second stage consists of verifying the materiality of discourse in selected documents, using a topic modeling method based on latent Dirichlet allocation - LDA. It is concluded that the methodology allows one to infer the presence of the discourse of gender ideology on social networks, driving its reception by the parliamentary debate.

title: Structural and Morphological Characteristics of Polyaniline Synthesized in Pilot Scale

description: ABSTRACT: Polyanilines have many applications in Aerospace, especially in their doped form. Studies on their synthesis in a pilot scale can contribute to obtain products with desirable characteristics for such applications. The present study reports the chemical oxidative synthesis of polyaniline in pilot scale and different reaction times in order to determine if there are variations in the polyaniline structure, morphology and conductivity due to these synthesis conditions. It is very common to analyze these data for polymers obtained through bench scale. However, several parameters change the properties of final material in major scales, such as thermal, mechanic and diffusive variables. Therefore, the reaction time is the only variable into the 9 syntheses carried out, and polyaniline is obtained in a doped form, being dedoped with ammonium hydroxide and redoped with dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid. The doped and redoped samples were characterized by their molecular structure, thermal behavior, crystallinity and morphology. The electrical conductivity of redoped samples was determined. Some differences in the structure and morphology of doped and dedoped forms, identifying the doping structures, were reported. This paper aims to present the relationship between changes on structure and morphology of doped and undoped polyaniline obtained by the mentioned experiments. Furthermore, some addicts on conductivity are carried out. It was possible to contribute in order to obtain a more conductive polyaniline in pilot scale.

title: How is cognition in subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation Parkinson’s disease patients?

description: Abstract The impairments in cognitive functions such as memory, executive function, visuospatial skills and language in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are drawing increasing attention in the current literature. Studies dedicated to investigating the relationship between subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) and cognitive functioning are contradictory. This systematic review aims to analyze the impact on the cognitive functioning of patients with PD and STN-DBS. Articles published in the 2007-2017 period were retrieved from the Medline/Pubmed databases using PRISMA criteria. The analysis of 27 articles revealed many conflicting results, precluding a consensus on a cognitive functioning standard and hampering the establishment of a neuropsychological profile for PD patients who underwent STN-DBS surgery. Further studies investigating this relationship are needed.

title: Demolitions, debates and preservation attempts: approaches based on the cases of Salvador and Recife (1910-1930)

description: Abstract The so-called “demolition events” are one of the most dramatic and tense expressions of the reforms that marked the urban modernization processes of several Brazilian cities on the turn to the 20th century. Beyond futuristic projects or visions of progress per se, the demolishing forces allow us to question and analyze representations in dispute and readings of the city, landscape and past. They lead also to the identification of political, economic, and cultural interests, as well as estrangement, astonishment, regrets, and dissonant voices that pointed to a certain sense of tradition and, we might say, preservation. Thus, this paper aims to discuss some demolitions cases at Recife and Salvador in the 1910s, considering, both the broader context of urban reforms and efforts to create official services to protect monuments in the 1920s. Therefore, we mobilized several primary sources (articles from differents periodicals, photographs, official reports, among others) to identify and discuss speeches of social agents, changes of words, images, meanings and arguments inserted in a wide open and undefined debate about colonial heritage of urban landscape and structure.

title: PATENTS FROM FIRMS LOCATED IN THE BAIXADA FLUMINENSE, RIO DE JANEIRO

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to map the geographical distribution of patents in the Baixada Fluminense region of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), a proxy for the geographical distribution of innovation activities in the region. This research was based on a survey of the Brazilian patent base of the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). Taking into consideration the time required to perform a documental analysis during the available period, it was decided to perform a division of resident enterprises in the region in a time range of 13 years, from January 2001 to December 2013. The study shows a concentration of patents in two municipalities. On distribution by economic sectors there is a concentration of patents in three sectors and for the others the distribution of patents occurs on a regular basis. Regarding the type of registered patents, both types: utility model (MU) and invention patent (PI) are registered with a minimum quantitative difference. With the study, it was possible to note that the peripherical region of Baixada Fluminense is still behind and the competitive advantage based on patent registration is not a target of the resident companies.

title: THE METROPOLITAN DIMENSION OF HOUSING POLICY

description: ABSTRACT The last decade (2000-2010) has been characterized by the resumption of the protagonism of housing policy in Brazil, with the consolidation of instruments and policies that have formed a consistent framework to address the issue in the country. However, despite the concentration of the problem in metropolitan areas, the policy and the national housing plan have essentially adopted municipal strategies. Given this context, how can the obstacles and limits to the regional articulation of municipal housing policies in metropolitan regions be discussed? We start from the assumption that, while regional articulation is inevitable, the planning and management arrangements and instruments available have structural limitations that make the integration of municipal policies unfeasible. To discuss this issue, a previous question must be answered: how to investigate the factors that condition the integration of housing policies in metropolitan regions? This is the question that this article seeks to answer, resulting in the proposition of an analytical investigative structure that underlies future studies in this field.
