title: Family medicine interns’ experience conducting McGill illness narrative interview with non-compliant chronic patients

description: ABSTRACT Despite several governmental policies with the purpose of changing medical training in Brazil, it is still predominantly hospital-centered, and the learning process is focused on diseases. We conducted a study in a traditional medical school, in which the students carried out an interview focused on the illness experience assessing chronic patients with compliance difficulties in the treatment of hypertension and/or diabetes in primary care. Fourteen medical students during Family Medicine Internship at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro were trained to carry out the McGill Illness Narrative Interview (MINI) and identify the modes of understanding and attribution of meaning to the illness and treatment experience. Before and after the completion of the set of 35 interviews, the students were listened to individually regarding their understanding of the compliance phenomenon and the experience with the MINI. The 35 interviews conducted by the students were analyzed with respect to the objectives of each section, in addition to interviewer’s general objective of offering a position of expertise to the patient in their report of the case. We sought to investigate the consistency of the student’s experience with this script to obtain the narrative of illness using the conceptual topics – prototypes and explanatory models – and the emerging topics identified according to the technique described by Bardin for content analysis. In the analysis of the interviews conducted by the researcher with the interns at the beginning and the end of the internship, the thematic analysis consisted of two main themes: clinical understanding and experience with the non-compliance phenomenon, and the appreciation of performing the MINI in the context of medical training. The students considered the MINI a useful tool for understanding and exploring the individuals’ illness and treatment experiences in their socioeconomic and cultural context. By recognizing the importance of the MINI, the interns usually reported few learning opportunities while providing care for patients. Although the students had previously recognized the importance of listening and the development of bonds, they did not know how these issues could be built, and the experience increased their confidence in the healthcare provided to patients in their medical daily life. The students noticed that non-compliance involved multiple factors, which did not usually emerge during regular medical appointments. In fact, there was more understanding about the compliance phenomenon.

title: Pollinator availability, mating system and variation in flower morphology in a tropical savanna tree

description: ABSTRACT Widely distributed organisms face different ecological scenarios throughout their range, which can potentially lead to micro-evolutionary differentiation at specific localities. Mating systems of animal pollinated plants are supposed to evolve in response to the availability of local pollinators, with consequent changes in flower morphology. We tested the relationship among pollination , mating system, and flower morphology over a large spatial scale in Brazilian savannas using the tree Curatella americana (Dilleniaceae). We compared fruit set with and without pollinators in the field, and analyzed pollen tube growth from self- and cross-pollinated flowers in different populations. Populations with higher natural fruit set also had lower fruit set in bagged flowers, suggesting stronger barriers to self-fertilization. Furthermore, higher levels of autogamy in field experiments were associated with more pollen tubes reaching ovules in self-pollinated flowers. Morphometric studies of floral and leaf traits indicate closer-set reproductive organs, larger stigmas and smaller anthers in populations with more autogamy. We show that the spatial variation in mating system, flower morphology and pollination previously described for herbs also applies to long-lived, perennial tropical trees, thus reemphasizing that mating systems are a population-based attribute that vary according to the ecological scenario where the plants occur.

title: Addition of mechanically processed cellulosic fibers to ionomer cement: mechanical properties

description: In this study, conventional restorative glass ionomer cement (GIC) was modified by embedding it with mechanically processed cellulose fibers. Two concentrations of fibers were weighed and agglutinated into the GIC during manipulation, yielding Experimental Groups 2 (G2; 3.62 wt% of fibers) and 3 (G3; 7.24 wt% of fibers), which were compared against a control group containing no fibers (G1). The compressive strengths and elastic modulus of the three groups, and their diametral tensile strengths and stiffness, were evaluated on a universal test machine. The compressive and diametral tensile strengths were significantly higher in G3 than in G1. Statistically significant differences in elastic modulus were also found between G2 and G1 and between G2 and G3, whereas the stiffness significantly differed between G1 and G2. The materials were then characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Heterogeneously shaped particles were found on the G2 and G3 surfaces, and the cement matrices were randomly interspersed with long intermingled fibers. The EDS spectra of the composites revealed the elemental compositions of the precursor materials. The physically processed cellulosic fibers (especially at the higher concentration) increased the compressive and diametral tensile strengths of the GIC, and demonstrated acceptable elastic modulus and stiffness.

title: Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography of choroidal osteoma with secondary neovascular membranes: report of two cases

description: ABSTRACT We report enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) features based on clinical and imaging data from two newly diagnosed cases of choroidal osteoma presenting with recent visual loss secondary to choroidal neovascular membranes. The features described in the two cases, compression of the choriocapillaris and disorganization of the medium and large vessel layers, are consistent with those of previous reports. We noticed a sponge-like pattern previously reported, but it was subtle. Both lesions had multiple intralesional layers and a typical intrinsic transparency with visibility of the sclerochoroidal junction.

title: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF FORESTRY SECTOR CONTRIBUTION FOR THE INCREASE OF MINAS GERAIS MUNICIPALITIES REVENUES

description: ABSTRACT The main objective of this study was to analyze the contribution of forestry sector for the increase of revenues of Minas Gerais state municipalities during the period 2008-2013, using appropriate statistical analysis. Forestry is an important economic activity of this state, mainly through reforestation of Eucalyptus and Pinus genres. According to the work’s hypotheses, statistical procedures were performed comparing groups of municipalities with 5% and 10% or more of their area destined to forest plantations. The main results showed that: for 134 municipalities with 5% or more of forestry area, a linear relationship was observed between the Production Value of Silviculture and the collection of Tax on Rural Territorial Property (ITR), with the Gross Added Value of Agriculture in the period 2008-2013. Greater participation of forestry revenues on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of those municipalities was also observed. For 57 municipalities with 10% or more of forestry area, there was an improvement in the Tax and Economic Development Index (IDTE). Therefore, it can be affirmed that silviculture caused positive impacts for taxes collection and revenues related to the productive sector for the municipalities with larger area of forest plantations.

title: FIRE BEHAVIOR VARIABLES AND HAZARD INDICES OF FOREST FIRES

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of different fire hazard indices (FWI, FMA, FMA+, Telicyn, Nesterov, P-EVAP and EVAP/P), taking into account the fire behavior variables and the susceptibility to fire expressed by the moisture of the combustible material. For this purpose, controlled burnings were performed at different times and information was recorded in relation to the meteorological conditions, characteristics of the combustible material and fire behavior variables. In general, all the indices presented significant correlations with both the moisture of the combustible material and the behavior of the fire. However, in general, a higher linear correlation of components of the Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) system was observed in predicting fire behavior and EVAP / P index in fuel moisture. The consistency of the correlations between the various indices and the analyzed variables makes the methodology possible to be used in any place, facilitating the decision making in regions where records of occurrences of forest fires are absent or unreliable.

title: BIOCONTROL OF TEAK CANKER CAUSED BY Lasiodiplodia theobromae

description: ABSTRACT Teak is a forest species that has assumed great importance in Brazil, where it has found excellent conditions for development since its introduction into the country in the 1960s. However, phytosanitary problems are beginning to threaten the production of this timber species. An example is teak canker, caused by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Lt), which has only recently been reported in Brazil, and for which, therefore, there are no recommended control methods. Thus, this study evaluated the control of this pathogen, investigating the potential of the biocontrol agents (BCAs) Trichoderma spp., Bacillus sp. and Enterobacter sp., initially through in vitro assays and, subsequently, with in vivo tests. According to the in vitro assay results, the Trichoderma isolates CEN162 and CEN1153 and the strain of Bacillus sp. (UnB1366) were the treatments that stood out, as they were able to completely inhibit mycelial growth of some isolates of Lt. When these isolates were tested in a preventive way, the control levels varied depending on the Lt isolate and the antagonist-clone interaction, where CEN162 (T. asperellum) and UnB166 (Bacillus sp.) showed 100% control. Thus, there is a positive correlation between the in vitro and in vivo tests, since the same BCAs stood out. Although good levels of control have been obtained with the BCAs used, it can be concluded that there is a variation in the antagonism to different Lt isolates or even in the antagonist-clone interaction, corroborating the information available in the scientific literature on this plant-pathogenic fungus.

title: ANATOMICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF JUVENILE Schizolobium amazonicum WOOD

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the effects of tree age and of pith-bark and base-top positions on anatomical characteristics, and the effect of age on the chemical components of Schizolobium amazonicum (Paricá wood). The material was obtained from commercial plantations in the states of Maranhão and Pará with ages of 5, 7, 9 and 11 years. The first three logs (2.7 m length each) were obtained from the trees of each age. Only the effect of age was analyzed for the chemical characterization of the wood. The dimensions of the fibers increased along the pith-bark direction, while wall thickness decreased and the length of the fibers increased with aging. The width of the fibers and the lume diameter increased in the base-top direction. Paricá wood presented low extractive and hemicellulose content, and high cellulose content. The anatomical characteristics were more affected by the factors under study than the chemical composition, evidencing that the chemical elements of the wood are more stable with aging in relation to the anatomical characteristics.

title: COST OF FOREST INSURANCE IN THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF EUCALYPTUS PLANTS

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to carry out economic and risk assessment of eucalyptus plantations located in Minas Gerais, considering the influence of the cost of forest insurance, evidencing its impact on the project. The costs of implementation and driving come from eucalyptus plantations located in the Jequitinhonha Valley, Minas Gerais. The cost of forest insurance was obtained through a simulation of a quote from an insurer. For the economic evaluation, the Net Present Value (NPV), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and the Equivalent Periodic Benefit (EPB) were used. The risk sensitivity analysis was performed by the Monte Carlo method. The economic analysis was considered viable by all indicators used in all three situations. However, by the analysis of investment risk, we have a probability of 11.5% chance of NPV being below zero in situation 1, 18.5% in situation 2 and 25% in situation 3. The cost of Forest insurance increases the likelihood of negative value for economic indicators, as it increases the cost of the project, but it was input that less influenced the final value of the NPV. The government grant reduces the likelihood of investment risk as it lowers the cost of forest insurance.
