title: The relation between human development indicators of maternal health in the cities of Metropolitan Region of Curitiba – PR

description: Abstract Introduction Improving maternal health can be assessed and monitored by the health indicators, which not only reflect the quality of health promotion in public health but also social inequities. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between human development indicators and maternal health of municipalities in the metropolitan region of Curitiba - PR. Method This study is classified as descriptive, correlational, with the use of quantitative secondary data. Statistical analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation test with 95% significance level. Results The human development indicators showed a positive correlation with the percentage of live births with seven or more prenatal visits; negative correlation with the percentage of live births by natural childbirth; positive correlation with the percentage of live births by cesarean section; and a negative correlation with the percentage of children born to teenage mothers. Conclusion The worst indicators found in the municipalities with the lowest human development show the need to expand the actions aimed at the most vulnerable populations, reducing social inequities in order to expand access to health actions and services.

title: Perception assessment of periodontal patients regarding their self-care

description: OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate, through a questionnaire, patients' awareness and behavior regarding periodontal disease, as well as their perceptions of the importance of self-care in order to control the disease. METHODS: 50 male and female patients, age ranging between 31 to 67 years old, presenting moderate to advanced periodontal disease were submitted to a 26 question-survey which aimed to assess the following: the patient's profile, his knowledge and awareness of the periodontal disease ,the dental practioner's commitment as to inform the patient about the importance of the concepts and understandings of his own self-care related to the disease. After data tabulation, they were subjected to exploratory analysis by means of tables and graphics of distribution of frequencies. RESULTS: The data showed that most patients were unanimously aware of the presence of periodontal disease and it also demonstrated that if they follow the dentist's recommendations, there will be a better disease prognosis. About 94 to 96% of the participants in the sample showed a higher level of knowledge about the etiology, treatment and consequences of periodontal disease, and reported that such information came from dental professionals. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the periodontal disease patient becomes motivated to promote his self-care when the dentist promotes a proper instruction.

title: Costs management in maize and soybean production

description: Abstract Purpose: This research aims to identify and analyze the relationship between the elements that make up maize and soybean production costs and the revenue earned from the respective productive activities. Design/methodology/approach: We used production cost data from Conab and the market price of maize and soybean obtained from FAO in our analyses. These data were analyzed from 1997 to 2016. The study is based on the Neoclassical Theory of Firm and its subdivision: Cost Theory. Findings: The data showed that the variables related to the production costs of maize and soybean are associated with the gross revenue ha-1. Therefore, it is possible to predict them from the regression equations. Based in these findings, farmers will have a tool that may be used in making of the best decision when they purchase agricultural inputs. Originality/value: The main contribution of this paper relates to the possibility to predict maize and soybean revenue from the cost variables that are part of the production cost of these commodities. In this context, an interpretation of production costs, analyzing the variables involved in the cost of the crops, and with a consequent evaluation of the information on the gross revenue ha-1, enables information to be obtained for decision-making regarding the agricultural activities.

title: Underreporting of children and adolescents abuse in Primary Care and analysis of factors associated

description: A cross-sectional study that aimed to analyze the factors associated with the underreporting of maltreatment towards children and adolescents. The study included 1.055 professionals working in Primary Care in 85 municipalities of Ceará. The data was obtained through a questionnaire and submitted to bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The final model showed that having less than five years of work, not knowing the notification form, not having the record at the health unit, not trusting the protection agencies, not knowing where to refer the cases and fearing legal involvement have increased the chances of professionals not informing situations of abuse in this group.

title: Capitalist production of space and environment: urban-environmental activism and green gentrification in Brazil

description: Abstract A new urban fact has been gaining ground in several cities of the planet: The phenomenon of green gentrification. This article aims to test the application of the concept to three Brazilian cities: Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In the three cases, groups opposed to appropriation of the territory by the capital have mobilized to denounce the impacts publicly. The concept of green gentrification in Brazil, or its application in this country, has its own contours and involves problems that are different from the reality of the United States, where it was coined. Therefore, it is concluded that, on the one hand, green gentrification seems to be acquiring increasingly larger contours in Brazilian cities; on the other hand, it mobilizes actors opposed to this process in the contemporary arena of struggle in the cities.

title: Comprehensibility and Brazilians' Perceptions on Pronunciation Instruction

description: Abstract The present study aimed at investigating students’ perceptions about the study of pronunciation and the comprehensibility of their speech. Twenty-four English-speaking Brazilians at the advanced level or higher had audio recordings of their sentences judged by four English speakers from different nationalities representing the three circles in Kachru’s World Englishes Model (1985). Comprehensibility, accentedness, number of mispronunciations at the segmental level (such as palatalization, voicing, devoicing, epenthesis), native language of the judge, and perceptions about the study of pronunciation were tabulated and compared quantitatively and qualitatively. Results indicated positive correlations among better compreensibility, less accentedness and fewer mispronunciations at the segmental level; and, between comprehensibility and the desire for specific knowledge regarding pronunciation.

title: Sphaerocarpos muccilloi (Sphaerocarpaceae, Marchantiophyta), a critically endangered species recollected in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and Sphaerocarpos texanus, a new record to Brazil

description: Abstract Sphaerocarpos muccilloi (Sphaerocarpaceae, Marchantiophyta) was described in 1981, being an endemic species and the only species of the family to Brazil. This species is considered as Critically Endangered (CR) according to “Red List of threatened species of the Rio Grande do Sul state”. Sphaerocarpos muccilloi was recorded in three places only in Rio Grande do Sul: Porto Alegre, São Leopoldo and Ivoti (collected from 1963 to 1977). These sites are highly anthropized and the last records being from more than 40 years. After a revision of herbarium specimens and several field trips we recollected S. muccilloi in the Pampa Biome, in Santana do Livramento municipality, at the Ibirapuitã Environmental Protection Area (APA do Ibaratuitã), Mata and Santa Vitória do Palmar municipalities. Another species (S. texanus), not reported to Brazil, was reported now to Paraná state. These new records provide important information about occurrence and distribution of the family to Brazil. Regarding to S. muccilloi, these new records show that the range of occurrence is wider than previous reported. This new data will help the next revision of the Red List of Threatened Species of Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil and will subsidize conservation strategies.

title: Late Pleistocene sea-level changes recorded in tidal and fluvial deposits from Itaubal Formation, onshore portion of the Foz do Amazonas Basin, Brazil

description: ABSTRACTThe Pleistocene deposits exposed in the Amapá Coastal Plain (onshore portion of the Foz do Amazonas Basin, northeastern South America) were previously interpreted as Miocene in age. In this work, they were named as "Itaubal Formation" and were included in the quaternary coastal history of Amazonia. The study, through facies and stratigraphic analyses in combination with optically stimulated luminescence (single and multiple aliquot regeneration), allowed interpreting this unit as Late Pleistocene tidal and fluvial deposits. The Itaubal Formation, which unconformably overlies strongly weathered basement rocks of the Guianas Shield, was subdivided into two progradational units, separated by an unconformity related to sea-level fall, here named as Lower and Upper Units. The Lower Unit yielded ages between 120,600 (± 12,000) and 70,850 (± 6,700) years BP and consists of subtidal flat, tide-influenced meandering stream and floodplain deposits, during highstand conditions. The Upper Unit spans between 69,150 (± 7,200) and 58,150 (± 6,800) years BP and is characterized by braided fluvial deposits incised in the Lower Unit, related to base-level fall; lowstand conditions remained until 23,500 (± 3,000) years BP. The studied region was likely exposed during the Last Glacial Maximum and then during Holocene, covered by tidal deposits influenced by the Amazon River.

title: Comment on “A preserved early Ediacaran magmatic arc at the northernmost part of the transversal zone - central domain of the Borborema Province, Northeast of South America”, by B. B. de Brito Neves et al. (2016)

description: ABSTRACT: The recent proposition for a long-lived (635-580 Ma) magmatic arc in the central portion of the Borborema Province is critically evaluated. Evidence favoring subduction include: low-T, high-P metamorphism; local occurrence of retroeclogites; and the probable participation of juvenile material in the genesis of 630-620 Ma-old plutons. However, several factors argue against the existence of a large ocean separating the Northern and Central subprovinces. First, early Tonian detrital zircons (1.0-0.9 Ga) in the Northern Subprovince indicate derivation from the Central Subprovince, and thus a connection between them until the time of deposition (ca. 660 Ma). Second, the age of peak metamorphism in the Northern Subprovince implies concomitant deformation in the upper and lower plates at 630-610 Ma. Third, 630-620 Ma-old granites have characteristics (e.g., high δO 18 values, low magnetic susceptibility) unlike plutons emplaced in continental active margins. Fourth, 590-580 Ma-old granites are clearly syn-transcurrent, i.e., post-collisional. Finally, the Patos shear zone, proposed to be a boundary transform between the two plates, is younger than 570 Ma, and thus cannot represent a suture zone. Therefore, if a magmatic arc existed, it had short duration and was developed at the end of the Cryogenian.
