title: Evaluability of the Descolado Program in preventing drug use in the school context

description: ABSTRACT The abusive use of alcohol and drug prevention in adolescence has become a cross-cutting theme in policies and encouraged the construction of preventive programs. However, there is still a need to evaluate the implementation process of these programs. The Evaluability Study (EA) is a pre-assessment stage and describes the logical way in which the assessment process will take place. This article aims to present the results of the EA of Descolado Program – alcohol and other drug prevention strategy developed in schools in the city of Recife, Pernambuco. It is an evaluative study, with qualitative approach, carried out through documental research, interviews and meetings with key informants. The Delphi consensus technique was used to analyze intervention models and evaluation theory. The results showed that the program is evaluable, and the modeling allowed for better understanding about the program by those involved. The technical and management teams critically reflected on the program, enabling adjustments in objectives, activities and resources since the beginning of the evaluation process. The evaluation questions identified according to components of the Logic Model can guide subsequent studies, having signaled for an implementation evaluation – case study of the Descolado Program.

title: Application of organic and mineral fertilizers increases carbon fractions in two classes of aggregates in an Integrated Crop-Livestock System

description: ABSTRACT Application of organic fertilizers of animal origin can increase organic carbon in the soil and increase its content in macroaggregates. This study aimed to evaluate carbon contents and fractions in two classes of soil aggregates in response to the application of organic and mineral fertilizers in an integrated crop-livestock system. The experiment was established in Concórdia, Santa Catarina State, in a Nitossolo Vermelho Eutroférrico típico, (Rhodic Kandiudox according to the WRB system) (0.00-0.05, 0.05-0.10, and 0.10-0.20 m), in an integrated crop-livestock, with corn and soybean in the summer, black oat and rye in the winter, shepherded by sheep. The design used was randomized blocks, with treatments in factorial design (5 × 3 + 1), with four replications, five sources of fertilizers, three rates and the control with no fertilization. Three organic fertilizers were applied: poultry litter, pig manure and compost; and two minerals fertilizers: M1 (formulated according to the composition of the pig slurry) and M2 (adjusted according to the composition of the poultry litter), combined with three applications rates, corresponding to 75, 100 and 150 % of the recommendation for the crop of interest, based on the element with greater demand. Total organic carbon (TOC), particulate (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAC) contents were determined in two classes of soil aggregates C1 (8.00 to 4.76 mm) and C2 (4.76 to 2.00 mm), in samples collected in the 2018/2020 crop season. Crop yields were determined in every season. The results were analyzed using analysis of variance to compare sources and polynomial regression analysis for fertilizer rates. The soil has high aggregate stability, even so, the use of organic and mineral fertilizers increased aggregation. The poultry litter organic fertilizer increases aggregation, forming largely aggregates with a size of 8.00-4.76 mm, and increases the contents of total fractions of soil organic carbon, providing the system with a more stabilized carbon. In the 0.00-0.05 m layer, organic fertilizers increased the content of total organic carbon. The stabilized fraction (MAC) showed a higher proportion of total soil organic carbon than particulate organic carbon (POC).

title: The effects of metformın, acetylsalıcylıc acıd and ıbuprofen on telomerase enzyme actıvıty: ınhıbıtory effect of ıbuprofen

description: Abstract Telomerase enzyme is necessary for the elongation of telomeres while telomerase being critical for aging and cancer. Metformin, ibuprofen, and acetylsalicylic acid used in this research are drugs that millions of people already use and that many are likely to use in future. In this study, the effects of these drugs on telomerase activity of Mus musculus swiss albino mice in liver tissue were investigated and the telomerase activity was measured with a PCR-ELISA based kit. In the study a possible connection between telomerase enzyme activity and activities of antioxidant enzymes was also investigated by determining the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase enzymes. The data obtained show that metformin slightly decreased telomerase enzyme activity in low dose application; however, this change was not statistically significant. In ibuprofen application, there was a significant inhibitory effect when high doses were used; whereas, there was a slight inhibitory effect at low doses. In acetylsalicylic acid application, a slight activator effect was detected; it was not statistically significant, though. Metformin was observed to increase catalase and SOD activities in general while low and high doses of acetyl salicylic acid showed different effects. In addition, ibuprofen caused a statistically significant increase in liver SOD values. It is important to note that this study demonstrated a significant inhibitory effect of ibuprofen on telomerase enzyme activity in animal models..

title: Elements That Impact Building a Public Governance Model in Brazil: The Case of the Brazilian Navy

description: Abstract This paper investigated the essential elements for building a public governance model in Brazil, with the objective of proposing an analytical framework with contributions from different theoretical lenses. The concepts and debates emerging from the literature were analyzed along with the normative instruments that guide the principles of public governance in Brazil, and, finally, empirical research was carried out in a Brazilian public organization (Brazilian Navy). The study found that, in the Brazilian context, external control bodies have been playing the role of giving rise to an increase in governance levels within the scope of public administration, restricting at first its application to the perspective of control, and involving, to a lesser extent, the concepts of governance as instruments for achieving political-administrative effectiveness. This result corroborates the need to develop more comprehensive proposals related to public value creation involving the structuring of both political and administrative bodies in Brazil.

title: Intensity-Duration-Frequency equations for Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil, based on stationary rainfall series

description: Abstract Heavy rainfall information is essential for environmental studies and water engineering. This study therefore aimed to adjust Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) equations for 247 locations in the Rio Grande do Sul (RS) using stationary rainfall series. Mann-Kendall’s test was applied to identify the temporal trends in the Annual Maximum Daily Rainfall (AMDR) series of 271 rain gauges in RS. The Kappa, Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), Gumbel, two-parameters Log-Normal and three-parameters Log-Normal probabilistic distributions were adjusted to the AMDR series without significant temporal trend. The best distribution fit was given by Anderson-Darling’s test, so the AMDR was discretized up to 5 minutes. IDF equations coefficients were adjusted in RStudio, using Nash-Sutcliffe’s Coefficient and the Root-Mean-Square Error to evaluate them. In conclusion: the most suitable distributions for the AMDR were the multiparametric Kappa and GEV; the IDF equations coefficients adjustment was classified as “excellent”; coefficients a and b varied across the RS and are correlated with the AMDR and geographical positions; and the c and d coefficients were practically constant.

title: A new algorithm to calculate complex material parameters in piezoelectric stacks

description: Abstract In this paper, the hybrid differential evolution and symbiotic organism search (HDS), is the first-time developed for general solutions of a piezoelectric stack in ultrasonic transducers. The convergence and reliability of the new algorithm are verified through comparison with corresponding data from similar previous publications and differential evolution (DE) algorithm. This study also presents and discusses the calculation results using HDS for commercial piezoelectric stacks. The Matlab HDS programs for a segmented piezoelectric (PZT) model have advanced features including its applicability to any configurations, thickness and arbitrary layer numbers of PZT. Using the novel proposed technique, there is no requirement for initial data guess, no limitations for piezoelectric stacks and the convergence rate is much faster than DE. Therefore, the HDS is promising for direct evaluation of specific aging or degradation mechanisms of ultrasonic transducers.

title: Outpatient pharmaceutical office: access to medicines in public health

description: Abstract We evaluated the implementation of the outpatient pharmaceutical office in a teaching hospital regarding the access to medicines available in the Unified Health System - SUS. This is a descriptive-analytical study, based on secondary data analysis of 735 appointments performed by the pharmacist from 2015 to 2017. Of the drugs prescribed to patients attended at the outpatient pharmacist office, 86.39% were listed in the National List of Essential Medicines - RENAME, of which 95.43% belonged to the Specialized Component of Pharmaceutical Assistance. Evaluating the patient’s diagnosis against the inclusion criteria of the Clinical Protocols and Therapeutic Guidelines (PCDT), that the most frequent pharmaceutical interventions were: adequacy of the medication request documents (56.4%) and examination requests for pharmacotherapeutic follow up (28.5%). When the prescribed drugs were not included in RENAME/PCDT, the intervention was accepted in 90.3% of the proposals for exchange with available drug in SUS. Still, it was possible to refer the patient to primary care for renewal of continuity of treatment in 95.1% of cases. In conclusion, the role of the clinical pharmacist contributes to the resolution of untreated health problems by promoting access to medicines within the scope of SUS and their rational use in accordance with the PCDT.

title: PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS AND BURNOUT SYNDROME AMONG TEACHERS IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION

description: ABSTRACT Burnout Syndrome is a disorder resulting from chronic stress at work. It affects workers from different areas, including teachers. This is a systematic review study with the objective of verifying the association between psychosocial factors at work (PFW) and burnout in elementary education teachers. Articles from the PubMed, Scielo and Capes Journals databases, published between 2014 and 2018, that used the Maslach Burnout Inventory in the burnout evaluation were analyzed. The results showed a variable prevalence of burnout among teachers. In addition to infrastructure problems, high work demands, lack of autonomy, poor quality of relationships, and physical and psychological violence experienced in schools were the main risk factors for burnout. It is recommendable that we consider the psychosocial and organizational factors of work in the prevention actions of Burnout Syndrome.

title: Factors of abandonment of tuberculosis treatment in the public health network

description: ABSTRACT This study determines the factors of abandonment of tuberculosis treatment in the public health network of Cali, Colombia, during years 2016 to 2018. We conducted an operational case-control investigation including 224 patients with tuberculosis (112 abandoned treatment and 112 completed it). We found that treatment abandonment for tuberculosis is driven by factors related to the individuals and health services that facilitate non-adherence and drive them away from the care provided in medical institutions.
