title: Estimates of reference evapotranspiration in the municipality of Ariquemes (RO) using neural networks GMDH-type

description: ABSTRACT Reference evapotranspiration is a climatological variable of great importance for water use dimensioning in irrigation methods. In order to contribute to the climatic understanding of Ariquemes, Rodônia state, Brazil, the study aims to model the behavior of the time series of reference evapotranspiration using a GMDH-type (Group Method of Data Handling) artificial neural network (ANN) and to compare it with the SARIMA (Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) methodology. Data from the National Institute of Meteorology - INMET, obtained at the Automatic Weather Station of Ariquemes, from January 2011 to January 2014, were used. Data analysis was performed using software R version 3.3.1 through the GMDH-type ANN package. Modeling by GMDH-type ANN led to results similar to the results of the SARIMA model, thus constituting an option to predict climatic time series. GMDH-type models with larger numbers of inputs and layers presented lowest mean square error.

title: Analysis of the scientific production on the evaluation of oral health policies in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT With the aim of analyzing the scientific production on the evaluation of oral health public policies in Brazil, a bibliometric study of publications between January 1980 and May 2015was conducted, using the SciELO and BVS/Bireme/Paho databases. Forty five papers in Portuguese and/or English were included, and those in duplicate and out of the subject scope were excluded. The classification was carried out by two researchers regarding design/study strategy, the main findings and characteristics of the evaluative study according to the attributes of research in the field. The articles were published between 2002 and 2015. The Southeastern region (48.9%) and public institutions (82.2%) account for the highest production. The highest concentration of articles was in Qualis A2 journals (48.9%). Most of the studies (86.6%) were quantitative and the largest proportion was about coverage and utilization (22.2%) and monitoring of health interventions (20%). The studies’ main characteristic was the availability and social distribution of resources (64.4%). The production in the field has been published in relevant journals in collective health, which confers its importance for understanding the dynamics of care delivery, as a critical analysis and a way of pointing out successful experiences and directions to be corrected in the policies, as recommended in the oral health conferences.

title: Lack of institutional work and organizational change failure in Brazilian local governments

description: Abstract This article proposes a theoretical framework to explain the failure of the compulsory adoption of new practices in the financial management cycle in local governments. The empirical analysis applies the framework to the control systems implementation in Brazilian municipalities. The findings of a qualitative comparative analysis applied to seven local governments show that despite human capabilities and information systems being a necessary condition, they are insufficient to deeply implement such internal control practices. Institutional capital is a condition sine qua non for the adoption of new practices on financial management and control in Brazilian local governments. The adoption of such reforms depends on an active network of powerful actors involved in institutional work supporting the changes.

title: SOIL PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES AND PRODUCTION COMPONENTS OF SUGARCANE CULTIVARS IN CONSERVATIONIST TILLAGE SYSTEMS

description: ABSTRACT Machine traffic and conventional tillage can cause structural degradation of the soil, affecting the physical attributes and, consequently, the production and longevity of the sugarcane field. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production components of sugarcane cultivars (RB965902, RB985476, RB966928, RB855156, RB975201, RB975242, RB036066 and RB855536) and physical attributes of a Dystroferric Red Latosol (Oxisol) under no-tillage and reduced-tillage systems. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized experimental design in an 8 × 2 factorial arrangement, with four replicates. The soil attributes evaluated were density, total porosity, macroporosity, microporosity and penetration resistance. The production components evaluated were stalk length and diameter, number of tillers (NT), tons of cane per hectare (TCH), sucrose content (Pol), tons of sucrose per hectare (TPH), soluble solids content (Brix), total recoverable sugars (TRS) and plant fiber. Cultivars RB965902, RB966928, RB855156 and RB985476 have productivity and technological attributes that are superior to the other cultivars, whereas these are lower for RB036066 in both soil tillage systems. Cultivars RB966928, RB855156, RB975242 and RB855536 exhibited higher TCH and TPH in the no-tillage system, and all cultivars displayed equal or higher performances than those observed in the reduced-tillage system. In the no-tillage system, which exhibits lower penetration resistance values between wheel tracks and in the subsurface layer of the planting row (0.20–0.40 m), cultivars RB985476 and RB975242 had a higher NT, and RB855156 had higher stalk lengths and NT.

title: Water disappearance dynamics in growing-finishing pig production

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to measure the water disappearance in the drinker and the pattern of daily water intake and estimate the amount of water wasted in pig production. The study will also generate information about the daily behaviour of water intake of pigs in the growing and finishing phases. Sixty male pigs with an average initial weight of 44.43 kg subjected to immunocastration were used. Animals received feed and water ad libitum. The animal-performance data, temperature and humidity, and feed and water intake behaviour were collected in real time during the entire experimental period, while water volume consumed was measured daily. The average water disappearance (WD) was 7.98 L, which increased during the studied period, and 29.07% of this corresponds to the estimated water wasted. The daily WD behaviour revealed an increasing pattern throughout the day for growing and finishing periods, with the registered peak at 16:00 and 15:00 h and intake of 6.24 and 9.48 L, respectively. The time spent drinking (TSD) and number of drinker visits (NDV) also showed a peak in the afternoon: 13:00 and 17:00 h for growing and finishing phases, respectively. The TSD was 282.73 and 268.36 s, and the NDV values were 16.13 and 13.84 for growing and finishing phases, respectively. The results demonstrated an increasing pattern during the animal housing period in WD that is proportional to dry matter intake and body weight, and the water wasted represents a significant portion of WD. The daily pattern of WD, TSD, and NDV increase during the total and growing periods, presenting peak activity at 13:00 h. During the finishing phase, TSD and NDV present a pattern similar to the growing phase, but the peak occurs in the last hour of the day.

title: Multivariate linear regression analysis to evaluate multiple-set performance in active and inactive individuals

description: Abstract Aim: To determine how EMG, anthropometric, and psychological factors, and physical activity levels affect isokinetic peak torque performance (IPT) of multiple set exercise sessions. Methods: 20 participants (27±7 years old), classified as active (A=10) and inactive (I=10), performed 10x10:40secs of maximal unilateral knee flexions and extensions at 120o.s-1. The IPT, EMG, glucose, LDH, and lactate concentrations and perceptions of pain, effort, recovery. Results: Active volunteers showed higher muscularity (52±5 vs 47±4 cm; p&lt;0.05), PTI (262±4 vs 185±4 Nm; p&lt;0.05), relative lower drop in performance (14±2 vs 27±3% ; p&lt;0.05), major MDF (83±1 vs 76±1 Hz; p&lt;0.05), lower log -Fins5 (-12.9±0.3 vs -12.7 ± 0.3 Hz; p&lt;0.05), smaller subjective perception of effort (14.8±0.3 vs 17.0±0.3) and higher subjective perception of recovery (14.2±0.2 vs 12.3±0.3). There was a significant interaction between relative fatigue and the number of sets (F=6.18; p&lt;0.001). Stepwise multiple regressions revealed that subjective perception of recovery best explained the fatigue level generated in the active volunteers [fatigue level= 85.084-5255(SPR)] while for body mass was the best determinant for the inactive group [fatigue level = -21.560 +1.828(BMI)]. Conclusion: Data from the present analysis suggest that physically active individuals show higher torque development and a smaller fatigability index when compared to inactive individuals. Among the fatigue models studied, it is possible that alterations in biochemical components, psychophysiological and EMG are not sensitive to the direct influence of the fatigue dynamics protocol, both in active or inactive individuals.

title: A Queda da Importância das Tarifas Aduaneiras como Restrição ao Comércio do Brasil

description: Abstract: This study analysed the evolution of Brazil’s total bilateral trade costs with major trading partners in the period from 1995 to 2012. The total trade costs were divided between tariff and non-tariff costs for the sectors of agricultural and manufactured products. It also evaluated the Brazilian trade costs with Mercosur and the effect of a reduction of it on bilateral trade flows. The results showed a continuous decrease in trade costs and in the relative importance of tariffs compared to non-tariff measures. The costs of international trade were higher for agricultural products than for manufactured ones, and increased during the “commodity boom” (2002/07), highlighting the problems of infrastructure and domestic logistics. If the goal is to improve the competitiveness of this sector, it is clear that non-tariff issues should be given priority. An index of trade costs with Mercosur partners showed lower decreases than those with non-member countries in the case of manufactured products and increased costs for agricultural products. This result demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the integration process between Mercosur countries and the need of an effective action for the removal of barriers among them.

title: SIMPLE PHOTOCHEMICAL MODEL AS A TOOL FOR AIR QUALITY CONTROL

description: Atmospheric processes in an urban scenario are very complex and depend on meteorological parameters, emission, transport and deposition processes and the chemical mechanism. Simple air quality models can be used to understand the main aspects of ozone formation and provide information to adopt pollution control strategies. In this work the detailed simulation of ozone concentrations using the air quality model OZIPR (Ozone Isopleth Package for Research) coupled with the SAPRC (Statewide Air Pollution Research Center) chemical model is presented. First, the methods to determine volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are described as well as the statistical treatment of experimental data: Meteorological parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed and direction), concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO2 + NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3), which are needed to characterize the problem. Then, the construction and adjust of the model (base case) is detailed using, as an example, data for a typical urban area in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Finally, the limitations and the potential of the model are discussed. Clearly the quality of experimental data, mainly NOx and COVs concentrations and the COVs speciation, are a key information to obtain a correct estimation of O3 levels.

title: Stakeholder participation in the evaluation of QualiSUS-Network Project: Reflections on a collaborative approach experience

description: ABSTRACT Stakeholder approaches to evaluation imply the incorporation of different stakeholders in the evaluation process as to facilitate its comprehension and the appropriation of its results. This article aims to describe and critically analyze the participation of the stakeholders in the evaluation process taking into account the evaluation study Projeto de Formação e Melhoria da Qualidade de Rede de Atenção à Saúde (Projeto QualiSUS-Rede). For this purpose, we analyzed the reports regarding work meetings, workshops for conceptual alignment and validation of the projects Logical Models, seminars, as well as partial and final reports, during the period of August 2012 to December 2015. The collaborative approach involved numerous challenges encompassing 15 projects, with different levels of complexity, and with a diverse number and variety of stakeholders, which brought us to the limits and possibilities of participation of the different actors. We adapted the Collaborative Evaluation Model, from Rodriguez-Campos and Rincones-Gomez (2013). This type of approach requires the evaluators to exercise flexibility and adjustment to different local contexts and particularities, without losing sight of conformity to the theory of intervention and to the evaluation theoretical model.

title: Pathways for health education from popular education: experiences in Argentine bachilleratos populares

description: Abstract: The Bachilleratos Populares (BP) are secondary schools for youths and adults, self-managed and referenced in Popular Education (PE), which emerged in Argentina in 2004. We present here a study of Health Education from these experiences, based on interviews with teachers in nine BP. We identify a series of relevant traits. These include diverse subjects (individual and collective) which are driving curricular processes; health as a field of intervention (of individual and/or collective transformations) using multidimensional, rights and gender perspectives; supra-disciplinary approaches, which recognize various sources: academic knowledge critically assessed through popular knowledge and social movements; and the search for participation and commitment and for coherent methodologies, through reflexive and self-training practice. In short, this research shows dissident answers with respect to hegemonic rationality and institutionality.
