title: A predictive model to distinguish malignant and benign thyroid nodules based on age, gender and ultrasonographic features

description: Abstract Introduction: A discussion in literature about a standardized decision support tool for the management of thyroid nodules remains. Objective: The purpose of this study was to create a statistical prediction model for thyroid nodules management. Methods: Two hundred and four benign and 57 malignant thyroid nodules were selected for a retrospective study. The variables age, gender and ultrasonographic features were examined using univariate and multivariate models. A statistical formula was used to calculate the risk of cancer of each case. Results: In multivariate analysis, irregular shape, absence of halo, lower mean age, homogeneous echotexture, microcalcifications and solid content were associated with cancer. After applying the formula, 20 cases (7.6%) with a calculated risk for malignancy ≤3.0% were found, all of them benign. Setting the calculated risk in ≥80%, 21 (8.0%) cases were selected, and in 85.7% of them cancer was confirmed in histopathology. Internal accuracy of the prediction formula was 92.5%. Conclusions: The prediction formula reached high accuracy and may be an alternative to other decision support tools for thyroid nodule management.

title: SYSTEMIZATION OF LAPAROSCOPIC INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR (TAPP) BASED ON A NEW ANATOMICAL CONCEPT: INVERTED Y AND FIVE TRIANGLES

description: ABSTRACT Background: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has been shown to be superior than open repairs with faster return to daily activities and decrease in the occurrence of chronic pain. However, higher direct costs and mandatory use of general anesthesia are arguments against their use. In addition, increased complexity of surgery resulting from an anatomy that is unusual to general surgeons prevents the widespread adoption of laparoscopic approach. Aim: To propose a technical systematization for transabdominal laparoscopic repair (TAPP) of inguinal hernias based on anatomical concepts. Method: To offer a systematization of TAPP repair based on well defined anatomic landmarks, describing the concept of “inverted Y”, identification of five triangles and three zones of dissection, to achieve the “critical view of safety” for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Results: Since this standardization was developed five years ago, many surgeons were trained following these precepts. Reproducibility is high, as far as, it´s rate of adoption among surgeons. Conclusion: The concept of the “inverted Y”, “Five triangles” and the dissection based in “Three Zones” establish an effective and reproducible standardization of the TAPP technique.

title: The use of Maxima software in teaching by investigation of stellar evolution using graphical simulation of nuclear fusion

description: Abstract It has been common theme in the curricular proposals the study and experiences of observation of the sky and the main related phenomena, in order to make possible the understanding of characteristics of the Earth, Sun, Moon and other celestial bodies. Recently, the proposal of BNCC (Common National Curricular Base) highlights the need to teach astrophysics to high school students. Within this proposal fits the discussion of birth, life and death of the stars, subject currently little contemplated in the methodological directions of educational practices in progress. In order to contribute to the modeling and approximation of the phenomena to be visualized by the students we present animations and simulations that can become important tools for the teaching of this content. A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) animation was produced using the Maxima free software, which depicts the phenomenon of nuclear fusion between protons, the repulsive coulombian approach force, and the strong force interaction, from a certain approximation distance. Through the dialogical interaction between scientific knowledge, observation of everyday phenomena, and the use of animated GIF images, situations are proposed that promote the appropriation of new knowledge.

title: Lampião, Lages, Lombroso: the autopsy of the bandit king of the Brazilian backlands

description: ABSTRACT Lampião, the most infamous Brazilian brigand leader, was killed and decapitated during an ambush in 1938. The Alagoas police coroner, Dr. José Lages Filho, performed an autopsy of his head. Strongly biased toward the anthropologic ideas of the famous Italian psychiatrist and criminalist Cesare Lombroso, the examination found only a few of the so-called criminal inborn traits. The Lombrosian doctrine and a number of related theories strongly influenced medical and political reasoning in the first half of the 20th century. Modern genetic and neuroscientific studies are still looking for the potential biological roots of misbehavior and criminality.

title: FOR A SOCIOLOGY OF CARE: REFLECTIONS BEYOND THE FIELD OF HEALTH

description: Abstract Although research on care is predominantly associated with the health field, sociological studies emphasize that the elements that influence the health field are not restricted to it, insofar as it is the expression of intense social support and a fundamental attribute for the maintenance of collective life. The objective of the present study was to hypervisualize the sociological dimension of the care to problematize its transposition as a necessary factor to the social life for a technical action of health. A systematic literature review was conducted between 2003 and 2013 in the Virtual Health Library, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Francis (Ovid), ProQuest Central, Academic Search Premier (EBSCOhost), and Jstor and Sage databases, with the single term care and its variants. Of the 262 articles identified, 15 on the social dimensions of care were selected. It was observed that care referred to the solidarity and quality of the interaction between subjects in micro-relationships and macro-structures, differing from its technical/technological application in health. It was also observed that it is more comprehensive to define care sociologically than by the specificity of an act, for it includes dimensions of solidarity, respect, zeal, and mutual help for the preservation of life. It was concluded that a sociological approach to care is necessary, even contributing to the health field.

title: University libraries: The role of an accessible campus on the inclusion of users with special needs

description: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present preliminary results of an ongoing research that seeks to diagnose inclusive practices in Brazilian and Portuguese university libraries, particularly in what concerns to the role of an accessible campus on the inclusion of users with special needs. The results were collected through an online questionnaire applied to 87 library directors (54 Brazilian and 33 Portuguese). Fifty valid answers were collected (28 Brazilian and 22 Portuguese).The results allowed to identify accessibility issues, namely in what regards to the access to the campus and to the lack of teams of librarians with specific skills to aid and assist these users. We conclude that many of these libraries are integrated in campuses without accessible infrastructure, and therefore, are not able to promote the inclusion of the students with special needs. Respondents say they are aware of their limitations and weaknesses when facing this challenge and show openness to change their practices and attitudes towards a new future scenario in which they could build solutions to improve the accessibility and inclusion in these libraries.

title: Automatic indexing by assignment of scientifi c articles written in Portuguese from the Information Science area

description: Abstract This work proposes and evaluates a process of automatic indexing by assignment in the representation of full-text articles written in Portuguese, in the context of construction of a scientific database in the area of Information Science in Brazil. It uses the exploratory, bibliographic and empirical research as a methodology. The empirical part takes base in the accomplishment of an experiment as a case study. The experiment consists of the application of the proposed process in a corpus composed of 60 scientific articles, as well as quality assessment in automatic indexing through indexes of consistency, precision, recall, and F-measure. The gold standard was the authors’ keywords. The automatic indexing process uses the Brazilian Thesaurus of Information Science and SISA software. The satisfactory results were a consistency index average of 19%, an average precision of 30%, an average recall of 37%, and a mean F-measure of 30%. The analysis of the results shows the thesaurus has a strong influence on the results of an automatic indexing by assignment, although the general term’s relations had poor contribution on the quality of the automatic indexing. In addition, we point out intervening factors in automatic indexing.

title: MORE DOCTORS PROGRAM AND NATIONAL SYLLABUS GUIDELINES: IMPROVEMENTS AND STENGTHENING OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM

description: Abstract In many countries there are initiatives of adapting the medical training to the needs of the health systems. In Brazil, the More Doctors Program (Programa Mais Médicos, in Portuguese) introduced the most recent changes, establishing a new regulatory framework in the medical training, which is expressed in the National Syllabus Guidelines, emphasizing the development of professional abilities in primary health care. In the present study, we tried to analyze the social representations of medicine students about the work in primary health care within the context of the implementation of the aforementioned guidelines. In order to do so, 149 medicine students from ‘traditional’ and ‘new’ public courses in the Northeastern region of Brazil answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and a free evocation script in the second semester of 2017. The results show a student profile that corresponds to the ‘first university student generation’ of the ‘new schools’. In these schools, the social representations of the medicine students are more in line with the new guidelines, with an emphasis on the evocation of terms such as ‘bond,’ ‘responsibility’ and ‘community.’ In the ‘traditional’ schools, the terms that stood out the most were ‘underappreciation,’ and ‘precariousness,’ which suggests that these students do not have enough experience in primary health care. We hope that the innovative experiences that were analyzed can be multiplied and deepened in the radicality needed for the strengthening of the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, in Portuguese), with training that is in line with the social needs.

title: Temporary immersion biorreators: efficient technique for the propagation of the ‘Pircinque’ strawberry

description: Abstract The in vitro propagation technique via temporary immersion bioreactors is a tool that, through the culture in a liquid medium, allows an increase in the efficiency of seedling production. Several researches with the strawberry crop have shown greater efficiency of the system compared to the conventional process of micropropagation in solid medium. In this sense, the objective herein was to establish a protocol of multiplication and rooting of the ‘Pircinque’ strawberry, in temporary immersion bioreactors. Two distinct and independent studies were carried out, characterized by the multiplication and rooting stages of strawberry explants, newly introduced and registered in Brazil. Two culture media (MS and KNOP) were studied and, as a control treatment, the growth of the explants in solid culture medium was evaluated with the addition of 5 g L-1 of agar. Different immersion times of the culture medium were explored: five or eight times a day, for 15 minutes. The study was composed of the culture medium and immersion time factors, as well as the control (solid) treatment. It was verified that the use of temporary immersion bioreactors system is an efficient technique for the multiplication and rooting of explants of strawberry cv. Pircinque, when compared to the conventional method of micropropagation with the use of solid culture medium, making it possible to optimize the production of seedlings in biofactories. The MS liquid medium, in contact with explants of ‘Pircinque’ strawberry five times a day, increased the growth of the aerial part and the root system.

title: Time allocation, importance of activities and staff profi le in academic libraries from a business processes standpoint

description: Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate, from the business processes standpoint, the time allocated by academic libraries in their different activities, the importance attributed by their managers to the activities performed, and the staff profile. Academic libraries have an important role in providing the informational needs of teaching and research, through its functions of formation and development of collections, bibliographic control, information delivery and management. The process management collaborates to the achievement of the organization strategic goals. It is considered a system of activities integrated in business processes, which may be an excellent tool for evaluating and implementing improvements in academic libraries. To fulfill their role, the libraries of Brazilian higher education institutions have a workforce composed of two profiles: librarians and non-librarians. The survey is bibliographical, descriptive and qualitative. The sample consists of 14 libraries of a federal institution of higher education. The activities inherent to the libraries were structured in processes and sub processes, and the percentage of time spent in them, their importance and the profile of the executing agents involved were determined. As a result, time, importance, and profile data were linked to the processes and sub processes, in order to investigate their association.

title: Growth and quality of mangosteen seedlings (Garcinia mangostana L.) in response to the application of humic acids

description: Abstract The time of formation of mangosteen seedlings propagated by seeds can be considered as the biggest difficulty in the seedling production system of this species. Considering that the use of humic acids as a growth promoter has been well documented in some species, the objective of this work was to evaluate the growth of mangosteen seedlings in response to the application of humic acid (HA) doses extracted from vermicompost (0; 2; 20; 40; 200 mg C L-1). Growth rate was determined using the following variables: stem diameter, plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, stem dry matter, leaf dry matter, shoot dry matter, root dry matter, total dry matter and Dickson quality index . The dose 150 mg C L-1 was the one that approached the maximum values and therefore should be recommended for the production of seedlings. The results at 240 days after planting (DAP) showed that the HA increased the growth of mangosteen seedlings, helping to reduce the time of seedling formation under conditions for permanent planting.
