title: MIGRATION AND COMMUTING IN THE AREAS OF INFLUENCE OF THE BRAZILIAN METROPOLISES

description: ABSTRACT At various points times in time, population mobility has served as a driver for profound social and economic transformations in the regions of origin and destination in Brazil, not only the consequence of structural needs. As well as traditional migratory flows, commuting has also taken on a pertinent role in the process of spatial production and organization, especially at the regional level. In this context, this paper aims to evaluate the participation of migration in commuting in the Areas of Influence (AIs) of the principal Brazilian metropolises, based on the sample microdata of the 1980 and 2010 Demographic Censuses. The initial comparison of these two census decades shows that there was a significant increase in commuting intensity, both in terms of the volume of people and the number of vectors. Furthermore, the data also show that there was a considerable decrease in the proportion of the decade’s migrants in intra-regional commuting, as well as an increase in the weight of native non-migrants of the municipality of residence in the composition of these displacements. In the last census, native non-migrants were already prevalent in commuting flows, both in the metropolitan regions and within each of the AIs.

title: Sex Roles, Love, and Conjugal Satisfaction in Heterosexual and Homosexual Individuals

description: Abstract The experience of same-sex love is still perceived from a stigmatizing social perspective. In an attempt to contribute to the discussion of this issue, this study generated evidence of validity and reliability for the Bem Sex Role Inventory-Reduced by analyzing the scores of 331 heterosexual and homosexual individuals, of both sexes, who cohabited with their partners for at least one year in the city of Rio de Janeiro, state of Rio de Janeiro. A confirmatory analysis of the Triangular Scale of Love-Reduced was also performed, which revealed good model fit and invariance of measurement for homosexuals and heterosexuals. In addition, the relationships between Sexual Orientation, Sex Roles, Love and Conjugal Satisfaction were verified. Intimacy and Commitment were the best predictors of Conjugal Satisfaction for both groups. Some evidence was found questioning the social stereotypes associated to same-sex relationships.

title: Challenges and strategies for blood donation and self-sufficiency under regional perspectives of Spain and Brazil

description: Abstract Background Blood, its components and derivatives are essential for the functioning of hematological and transfusion care in modern health systems. Objective To identify some of the difficulties, challenges, and strategies experienced in public blood banks currently, based on regional perspectives in Spain and Brazil. Method Interviews with eleven managers/professionals from blood banks of the Autonomous Communities of Madrid, Extremadura and Catalonia (Spain) and the State of Bahia (Brazil) were conducted. Results Two groups of difficulties were identified: availability of structure and resources; and recruitment and loyalty of donors. Challenges: to recruit and retain new donors, especially young people; to maintain sufficient stock of rare blood types and have blood products available; to deal with emerging pathologies arising from migration and globalization; to ensure the rational use of blood; to manage services with limited autonomy over financial resources; to deal with different stakeholders. The following strategic lines stood out: the use of several resources to raise awareness and loyalty of donors; the concentration of technology and procedures in coordinating centers; the implantation of public plasmapheresis programs and the utilization of different means to establish relations with different actors. Conclusion Respecting the regional peculiarities, the results can be used for the reflection and implementation of various actions aimed at blood donation and self-sufficiency in other regions of the world.

title: New perspectives on sanitation management: proposing a model for municipal solid waste landfill

description: The complexity involved in the collection, treatment and disposal of solid waste; the dimensions of this matter in relation to the various social, governmental, technical and territorial implications, and their potential for qualitative change of the environment require further studies of the management of landfills and their inter-relations with institutions linked to solid waste and the environment. The key question of this paper is: Would the development of a protocol for the installation of solid-waste disposal equipment, involving both environmental and management aspects, suit the specific needs and peculiarities of different municipalities? An explanatory and descriptive multi-case study was used to evaluate the technologies applied in the deployment and management of two landfills in the state of Bahia. A protocol for the management and installation of solid-waste equipment was also designed in this study, based on a theoretical and methodological construction that originated from questions that have also generated news questions and issues, such as how to measure and analyze possible behavioral changes towards sanitation according to the innovative procedures proclaimed throughout the country by the National Solid Waste Policy.

title: Biopolitics, Biopower and Selfcare in Anti-Smoking Campaign on Cigarette Packs

description: AbstractThis article discusses the constitution of the smoker subject in anti-smoking campaigns present in the statements molded over the syncretic materiality of cigarette packs. We reflect about two dimensions that involve the body of this subject, considered a discursive surface where knowledge/power relations operate: the body vested by the biopower, through which are promoted the biopolitics of the population, and the body as an aesthetic of self, in order to reflect about the care and the government of self. We use the theory of the Discourse Analysis, mobilizing Foucaultian concepts/notions of subject, governmentality, biopower, biopolitics and selfcare as analytical categories. Methodologically, our analysis has a qualitative approach with a descriptive and interpretative nature and draws on a corpus consisting of nine of the statements above. We conclude that the anti-smoking campaigns intersect medical, legal and aesthetic discourses, which indicate ways of taking care of oneself while also allowing a glimpse at a power that aims to manage people's lives with the ultimate goal of making them more productive and less costly to the State.

title: Alternative class III distributed polysomnography system

description: Abstract Introduction Impairment of sleep quality directly increases the risk of heart attack, obesity, and stroke, among other conditions, which makes polysomnography (PSG) an important public health tool. However, the inherent problems with PSG render the correct diagnosis of sleep diseases a difficult task. As a novel alternative to the class II PSG system, this work presents a distributed system composed of three modules, which together are capable of the simultaneous monitoring of environmental variables and patient signals. This system could reduce the distress of a PSG exam in certain cases, dismiss the need for an overnight sleep in a healthcare/sleep centre, and facilitate self-setup and internet-based diagnosis. Methods Hardware and software capable of synchronously monitoring, processing and logging into a µSD card environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, visible light intensity and audible noise level) and directly measured patient signals (electrocardiogram, electrooculogram, and body and limb posture) were designed and implemented. Results A novel alternative to the class III PSG system was demonstrated with independent boards capable of operating for more than 16 hours powered by a 750 mAh/3.7 V battery with 0.003% data loss during preliminary PSG exams. Additionally, a computer-based library capable of reading, decoding, estimating respiration through ECG, and calculating the heart rate was developed and described. Conclusion This article contributes to PSG research through the development of a new PSG system and the improvement of patient comfort. All software and hardware developed are fully open source and available on GitHub.

title: DIVERSITY AND GENETIC STRUCTURE OF NATURAL POPULATIONS OF ARAÇÁ (Psidium guineense Sw.)

description: ABSTRAT: Psidium guineense Sw, popularly known as araçá, is a fruit tree there is widely distributed in Brazil and belongs to the Myrtaceae family. In northeastern Brazil, araçá occurs along coast and in the Zona da Mata; its fruit looks like guava but is more acidic and has a stronger smell. There is a little information about this species, which increases the difficulty of conserving its genetic resources and exploiting araçá as an economic resource. The objective of this research was the evaluation of the genetic diversity and genetic structure of P. guineense from Pernambuco's Zona da Mata. One hundred and fourteen individuals and 18 isozyme loci were evaluated, showing 28 alleles. The percentage of polymorphic loci () and the average number of alleles per locus () were 0.5 and 1.5, respectively, in this population. The expected heterozygosity, which corresponds to the genetic diversity, ranged from 0.22 to 0.23, a high value when considering that isozymes mark access from the functional genome. The differentiation index among the population was () = 0.015; therefore, the populations were not different among the sampled places. The inbreeding values () ranged from -0.549 to -0.794, indicating an absence of inbreeding and a greater-than-expected heterozygosity in all the studied populations. The estimated gene flow (Nm) for a pair of this population ranged from 3.23 to 20.77, sufficient to avoid genetic differentiation among the population and in accordance with the values of genetic divergence found in this study.

title: How can an ecological perspective be used to enrich cities planning and management?

description: Abstract This conceptual article presents a comprehensive overview of principles, new urban descriptors and analysis methods that provide relevant ecological information, which can be fully incorporated into the planning process, by connecting ecological perspectives to planning and management issues. Section one summarizes the different notions of ecological urbanism and explores what concepts and basic assumptions can constitute a guide to implement an ecological perspective into urban planning. Section two covers what frameworks exist for planning and managing the city under an ecological perspective; and what methods and tools are being used by different stake holders to implement an ecological vision today. As a synthesis, the paper suggest that ecological urbanism applies through six concepts (ecological networks, nestedness, cycles, flows, dynamic balance and resilience), which can be covered by three principles: I) an eco-systemic understanding and management of the city; II) a bioregional governance; III) an ecologically balanced planning. By doing so, this piece of work builds conceptually and practically a frame towards the transformation of current planning and management practices outlining clues for reinterpreting strategies to re-signify and re-conceptualize the existing dichotomous relationship between city-nature, environment-society, while strives for a new understanding of the way we inhabit the habitat.
