title: The constitutionalization of the Public Defender’s Office: disputes over space in the justice system

description: Abstract The 1988 Constitution inserted the Public Defender’s Office in the Brazilian justice system in order to provide legal aid to people in need. At this time, the institution was a novelty in many parts of the country, and other institutional arrangements for legal aid were available in various places. This paper has analyzed the Constituent Assembly’s debate to identify patterns of conflict concerning the constitutional provision of a Public Defender’s Office. The debates reveal three avenues of objection to the standardization of legal aid through the Public Defender’s Office, which are institutional effects from previous state arrangements and from the centrality that the Public Prosecutor’s Office was acquiring in the justice system. We observe that institutions and public policy, by influencing actors’ aims and strategies, affect processes of institutional development and change. These findings contribute to the literature on Public Defense, which stresses the institution’s potential to promote social justice and the democratization of the justice system in Brazil. In spite of observing the institution’s incapacity to live up to its potential in practice, it isn’t able identify that this limitation is, largely, a consequence of the difficulty of inserting a Public Defender’s Office into an existing justice system.

title: Video Modeling for Teaching Communication Skills to Individuals with Autism: Study Review

description: ABSTRACT People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have specific limitations on communication skills in both receptive and expressive language. Video modeling (VM) is considered an evidence-based practice for individuals with ASD since this population prefers and responds better to teaching strategies through visual cues. In this sense, the objective of this review was to discuss the outcomes of interventions that implemented MV to teach communication skills to individuals with ASD. Thus, three inclusion criteria were established: a) the studies should use the video modeling alone as independent variable, associated with another intervention or as part of a package of treatments; b) communication skills should be part of the dependent variable, even if other skills were present; c) All studies should have participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The CAPES Journal Portal was used as the database with specific descriptors in the 2010 to 2016 period. Only 11 studies presented the inclusion criteria determined in this study. These papers emphasized the gains of the person with ASD in their communication skills through VM. Given the positive results reported in these 11 studies, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that VM is an indicated procedure for teaching a variety of communicative skills for children with ASD. It is possible to conclude that this study summarized interventions that used VM for teaching communication skills, indicating directions for future research.

title: Crashworthiness and Impact Energy Absorption Study Considering the CF/PA Commingled Composite Processing Optimization

description: The processing of the thermoplastic composites can cause matrix thermo-oxidative degradation. Understanding the level of thermo-oxidative degradation, as well as the thresholds of temperature and processing time, allows the manufacture of high performance composites with higher crashworthiness. This study evaluated the matrix thermo-oxidative degradation by Friedman's isoconversional kinetic model to a carbon fiber/polyamide (CF/PA) commingled fabric. In addition, the CF/PA commingled composite was manufactured by consolidation under pressure at 240°C, 250°C, 260°C, 270°C and 280°C to observe the influence of the matrix thermo-oxidative degradation on its energy absorption capacity. Impact test and compression after impact (CAI) determined the energy absorbed by the CF/PA commingled composite at different processing temperatures. The results demonstrated that the matrix thermo-oxidative degradation affected the energy absorption capacity of the CF/PA composite when the processing temperature exceeded 260°C, which is in accordance with the prediction of the degradation study. Therefore, the optimal processing cycle occurs at 260°C for 20min. When it processed in temperatures above 260°C, the CF/PA commingled composite reduces in 0.14J/°C the energy absorption ability due to the matrix degradation in high temperatures, leading to a considerable reduction on crashworthiness and its performance.

title: Determination of the effective anticandidal concentration of denture cleanser tablets on some denture base resins

description: Abstract Objective Although the effectiveness of chemical cleansing against Candida albicans biofilm has been shown, the effective concentration of denture cleanser tablets has not been studied. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of three denture materials against Candida albicans biofilm and to determine effective concentrations of denture cleanser tablets. Material and methods The surface-roughness of Acron-hi™, QC-20™ and Deflex™ (n=45 per resin) resins was standardized by using a profilometer and their contact angle or surface free energy was calculated. C. albicans biofilm was formed on all three resins and were treated with Polident 3 min™, Corega™ and Fittydent™ cleanser solutions at various concentrations and both resin-biofilm and cleanser-biofilm interest were determined by using a MTT protocol according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing's antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST-EUCAST). Scanning electron microscopy was used to compare the efficacy of different resin materials against C. albicans biofilm. Anticandidal activity and surface free energy statistical parameters were calculated by using 3-way and 1-way ANOVA, respectively (p&lt;0.05). Results Polident 3 min™ and Corega™ tablets significantly inhibited (p&lt;0.05) the proliferation of C. albicans against all denture resins at 27-37 mg/mL. Scanning electron microscopy results indicated that there was no significant difference among resin specimens regarding biofilm formation on dentures. We failed to find a significant relationship between surface free energy and the anticandidal effect of resin types. However, the polarity value of the resins was statistically associated with their anticandidal activity. Conclusions The polarity of the resins, the concentrations of tablets and the chemical content of the cleanser may directly affect C. albicans biofilm formations. Polident 3 min™ and Corega™ tablets should be suggested for patients who use any denture resin types, whereas the Fittydent™ tablet should only be proposed for those who use Deflex™, when two tablets are dropped into 150 mL water.

title: Structural and mechanical properties of a giomer-based bulk fill restorative in different curing conditions

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The main goal of this study was to compare the polymerization degree of bulk-fill giomer resin cured with three different light-curing units (LCUs): a polywave third-generation (Valo); a monowave (DemiUltra: DU); and a second-generation LED (Optima 10: Opt) LCUs by using structural and mechanical properties. Material and methods: Giomer samples of 2 and 4 mm cured with three LCUs were employed in vitro analysis. The degree of curing (DC%) was determined with Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Microstructural features were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Flexural strength (FS), compression strength (CS), elastic modulus and fracturing strain were determined for mechanical properties. Surface microhardness (SMH) values were also measured. Oneway ANOVA, two-way analysis of variance and Tukey multiple comparison tests were used for statistically analyzing the FS and SMH. Results: DC% values were 58.2, 47.6, and 39.7 for the 2 mm samples cured with DU, Opt., and Valo LCUs, respectively. DC% values of the 4 mm samples were 50.4, 44.6, and 38.2 for DU, Opt, and Valo, respectively. SMH values were Valo, Opt

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the workload and size the nursing team using the scales TISS-28 and NEMS in a pediatric intensive care unit. Methods: An observational prospective study with a quantitative approach was conducted at the pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital from Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009. All children who remained hospitalized for more than 8 hours were included, with length of stay of 4 hours in case of death. Clinical data were collected and the Paediatric Index of Mortality 2 and the scores TISS-28 and NEMS were determined. The TISS-28 and NEMS were converted into working hours of the nursing team and sizing complied with the parameters of the Brazilian Federal Nursing Council. Pearson's correlation and the Bland-Altman model were used to verify the association and agreement between the instruments. Results: A total of 459 children were included, totaling 3,409 observations. The average values for the TISS-28 and NEMS were 20.8±8 and 25.2±8.7 points, respectively. The nursing workload was 11 hours by TISS-28 and 13.3 hours by NEMS. The estimated number of professionals by TISS-28 and NEMS was 29.6 and 35.8 professionals, respectively. The TISS-28 and NEMS showed adequate correlation and agreement. Conclusion: Time spent in nursing activities and team sizing reflected by the NEMS were significantly greater when compared to the TISS-28.
