title: Teachers health in the workplace: evidence from recent literature

description: Abstract Introduction The health of teachers appears as a current concern. The number of teachers getting sick at work is growing, however few measures are being taken in terms of specific legislation and policies that favor teacher health. This is despite the large number of studies highlighting harm to health of teachers. Methods The objective of the study was to analyze the publications in Virtual Health Library Psychology (BVS-Psi) over the last 14 years (2003-2016) related to the health of teachers. We used descriptors in Portuguese language related to health in elementary school teachers and university professors, which resulted in 69 articles analyzed. Results Publications were predominantly in the areas of speech therapy and psychology using qualitative methodology. The studies have shown teacher's illness as a current problem, pointing to the need to develope strategies related to the reorganization of teacher working conditions and health promotion. Conclusion The importance of emphasizing the multidimensionality of health and disease related to teacher's work was noted, highlighting interdisciplinary understandings of the topic. Also, the need for more integration of research and the work reality of teachers was noted, if we intended to develop methodologies and policies aimed at improving teacher health.

title: Effect of cognitive stimulation workshops on the self-esteem and cognition of the elderly A pilot project

description: ABSTRACT According to the WHO, by 2025 Brazil will be ranked sixth in the world in terms of proportion of elderly in the population. Within this scope, cognition plays a central role in the aging process, having an important association with quality of life, which suggests the need to develop intervention programs, such as cognitive training. Objective: To determine the effects of a program of cognitive stimulation workshops on the self-esteem and cognition of elderly people. Methods: Thirty-eight elderly subjects completed the three-step protocol: 1) Survey of demographic data and evaluation of cognition by a neuropsychological battery and of self-esteem using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS), prior to training; 2) Participation in twelve cognitive stimulation workshops; and 3) Cognitive evaluation and RSS after the training. Results: Results showed that the use of training produced positive effects on cognitive test performance of the elderly with and without cognitive impairment. By extension, this demonstrates positive impact on their self-esteem. Conclusion: These findings encourage investment in cognitive stimulation programs as a resource for improved cognition and quality of life for the elderly. Subjective cognitive complaint may have served as a predictor of decreased self-esteem; therefore, as training improved cognition, it also improved self-esteem.

title: Perception of oncology patients on the terminality of life

description: Abstract With the aim of analysing the perception of cancer patients towards the end of life, a questionnaire was applied to 100 oncologic patients, of which 85% were unaware of living will/advance directives, 81% were unaware of the terms palliative care and 70% were unaware of order to not reanimate. After clarifying the meaning of the terms used, 62% agreed to make living will/advance directives, 82% to receive palliative care at home and 64% to be reanimated in any situation, but the majority (73%) disagreed with the practice of futility. Only 11% reported inadequacies in the communication of their diagnosis by the physician. The fact of having metastases elicited a broader reflection on the termination of life. The results allow to infer that it is necessary to encourage the discussion about termination of life to the population during patient care, as well to promote the respective training to health professionals since the undergraduate course.

title: The effect of concentrated transversal force on the moment resistance of rectangular hollow steel section beams

description: Abstract This article reports on a preliminary investigation about the effect of concentrated transversal force on the bending moment resistance of rectangular hollow steel section (RHS) beams. Two six-meter-long specimens with yield strength of 300 MPa and cross-section size of 250×150×6.4 mm were subjected to bending tests using a four-point load configuration. A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model was developed by using the software ABAQUS to simulate the flexural behavior of the RHS beams. The model was validated against the experimental results and subsequently used to conduct a parametric study. The investigated parameters were the force application method and the corner radius between the webs and the flanges of the rectangular tube. The results showed that RHS beams may undergo failure due to large localized plastic deformations beneath the concentrated force, whenever this force causes compression on the webs. The use of a doubler plate on both webs can significantly reduce the detrimental effect on the bending moment resistance. Moreover, the effect is shown to be more pronounced for rectangular hollow steel sections with larger corner radius.

title: EVALUATION OF QUALITY OF HONEY FROM AFRICANIZED AND STINGLESS BEES NATIVES OF THE NORTHEAST OF THE STATE OF PARÁ

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical quality of fresh (np) and pasteurized (p) honey from Africanized bees (Apis mellifera) and two species of stingless bees (Melipona fasciculata and Melipona flavolineata), native to the northeastern region of the State of Pará. Physicochemical analyzes were performed according to the Brazilian legislation recommended for Apis mellifera and the microbiological analysis followed the official methods by the American Public Health Association. The honey from Apis mellifera were within the established physicochemical standards, except for the parameters reducing sugars (np: 57.43%±1.28 and p: 58.53%±1.91), acidity (np: 62.25 cmol/Kg±4.15 and p: 62.67 cmol/Kg±5.75) and humidity (np: 21.02%±0.17 and p: 20.12%±0.07). Meliponine honey was within the values observed in literature for this type of honey. In most of the physicochemical analysis performed, the types of honey were found to be different from each other, with meliponine honey having higher moisture and water activity, which makes it more susceptible to deterioration. A significant difference was observed between fresh honey from Apis mellifera and meliponine when compared to their respective pasteurized honey for moisture analysis (A. melífera, np: 21.02%±0.17 and p: 20.12%±0.07; M. fasciculata, np: 24.33%±0.03 and p: 23.68%±0.16; M. flavolineata, np: 28.53%±0.02 and p: 27.40%±0.04), apparent sucrose (A. melífera, np: 5.75%±0.18 and p: 3.19%±0.23; M. fasciculata, np: 3.89%±0.04 and p: 1.59%±0.03; M. flavolineata, np: 2.12%±0.22 and p: 1.62%±0.02) and HMF (A. melífera, np: 20.99 mg/Kg±0.13 and p: 64.36 mg/Kg±0,07; M. fasciculata, np: 6.54 mg/Kg±0.14 and p: 9.46 mg/Kg±0.09; M. flavolineata, np: 3.59mg/Kg±0.14 and p: 43.19 mg/Kg±0.14). All the samples submitted to the pasteurization process were within the microbiological limits established by current legislation.

title: Acoustic and sociolinguistic analysis of pre-stressed mid vowels spoken in Montanha – ES

description: Abstract This article presents acoustic and sociolinguistic descriptions of pre-stressed mid vowels in Montanha, a city at the extreme north of Espírito Santo state. We selected four informants, two men and two women, in two age groups (18-30 and 31-50 years). The corpus was obtained from the presentation of figures inserted into the carrier sentence “Digo ______ baixinho” and repeated five times by speaker. Using the plug-in Akustyk within Praat, we extracted the values of the first and second formants of the vowels. As a result, we noticed that the medium-high vowels of Montanha are lower compared to those of Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and Vitória. About anteriority/posteriority, Montanha presented anterior vowels much more anteriorized, and posterior vowels much more posteriorized, compared to the other cities. Regarding sociolinguistic analysis, the age variable was selected by GoldVarb X program as the most significant for maintaining the medium-high vowel in pre-stressed position, and the range of 18 to 30 was the most responsible for this maintenance.

title: Nude Venus: nudity between modesty and horror

description: Abstract: The text analyses the Renaissance corporal construction approached, over all, in the works of two art historians: Aby Warburg and Georges Didi-Huberman. Sandro Botticelli's paintings are presented as images motto. The study departs from the impenetrable white body of the Birth of Venus and problematizes the horror of the image, apparently only marked by modesty. Warburg and Didi-Huberman discuss the Dionysian pathos in the image from the mythical texts of Homer and Poliziano. Lastly, it is discussed the image of the Story of Nastagio degli Onesti with the purpose of considering the open body concealed by the enclosed body in the Italian Renaissance of the arts.

title: Effect of Competition in Dimensional Relations of Araucaria

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to describe the effect of competition in the dimensional relations of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze. Covariance analysis was used to compare tendency dimensional relationship for the group of open grown in fields and under competition in the forest. Trees growing under competition when compared to those with open grown presented, on average, regression lines with superior intercept for height, height of crown insertion point, height/diameter ratio, when evaluating the same diameter at breast height. Decreased tree competition increases the crown length and reduces height of crown insertion point. The inclusion of variable competition index in models improved fit and accuracy of dimensional relations in forest trees, which allows to use the equations fitted to estimate the crown dimensions as assistance for silvicultural activities of araucaria.

title: Surface Evaluation of Micropholis venulosa Decorativeveneers

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the roughness and the wettability of Curupixá (Micropholis venulosa) veneers surface before and after manual sanding and application of sealer. The roughness was estimated using a profilometer and the wettability with a goniometer. The roughness of the veneers subjected to different levels of abrasive sandpapering (180 and 240) differed from those not sanded. However, the roughness of sanded veneer with abrasive sandpaper number 180 and 240 showed no significant difference among themselves, even after the sealer application. As for the contact angle, the lowest value was found for the veneers sanded with the number of abrasive sandpaper 240 after applying sealer. Thus, sanding along with finish product improved the surface quality of the veneers, resulting in a better quality of the finished product.

title: Fake Messages, Collective Emotions and Conspiracy Theories

description: Abstract Collective emotions have been manipulated in a variety of ways over time by a diverse group of actors. This is due to its behavioral effect on the masses, something that often occurs in the political field. A significant portion of the public adheres more readily to messages that can mobilize their feelings than to facts, especially in cases where they contradict their beliefs. This study exemplifies this type of occurrence with conspiracy theories that are now being widely disseminated in the Middle East media. This occurs because it results in emotional benefit, which eases guilt, names a scapegoat, and encourages victimization.

title: Mathematical modeling of the shaft furnace process for producing DRI based on the multiphase theory

description: Abstract A numerical model based on transport equations for momentum, energy and chemical species for the gas and solid phases is proposed to simulate the inner phenomena in the direct reduction of the shaft furnace process for producing directly reduced iron (DRI). The model is verified using industrial data for productivity, raw materials and final composition of the DRI product. The model is used to evaluate operational practices using new raw materials and the composition of the reducing gas in the process. Three cases were considered, which correspond to available raw materials commercialized by different suppliers. The effects on the gas and solid inner temperatures, pressure and phase composition distributions are quantified. The simulation results indicated that good agreement for overall parameters of the process could be achieved and afterwards, detailed features of the inner conditions of the process are predicted.
