title: Predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis evaluated by carotid intima-media thickness in asymptomatic young women with type 1 diabetes mellitus

description: ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence and clinical predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic, young adult women with type 1 DM. Subjects and methods The study included 45 women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) (aged 36 ± 9 years) who underwent carotid Doppler ultrasound evaluation to determine the carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and to assess the occurrence of carotid artery plaques. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), and metabolic syndrome (MS) was defined by the World Health Organization criteria. Results The cohort had a mean age of 36 ± 9 years, diabetes duration of 18.1 ± 9.5 years, and body mass index (BMI) of 24.6 ± 2.4 kg/m2. MS was present in 44.4% of the participants. The CIMT was 0.25 ± 0.28 mm, and the prevalence of carotid artery plaques was 13%. CIMT correlated positively with hypertension (p = 0.04) and waist-to-hip ratio (r = 0.37, p = 0.012). The presence of carotid artery plaques correlated positively with age (p = 0.018) and hypertension (p = 0.017). eGDR correlated negatively with CIMT (r = -0.39, p = 0.009) and carotid plaques (p = 0.04). Albuminuria showed a correlation trend with CIMT (p = 0.06). Patients with carotid artery plaques were older, had a higher prevalence of hypertension, and lower eGDR. No correlation was found between CIMT and carotid plaques with diabetes duration, MS, BMI, cholesterol profile, glycated hemoglobin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, or fibrinogen. Conclusion Insulin resistance, central obesity, hypertension, and older age were predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic, young adult women with type 1 DM.

title: INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE HERBACEOUS AND SHRUBBY-ARBOREAL COMPONENTS IN A SEMIARID REGION IN THE NORTHEAST OF BRAZIL: COMPETITION OR FACILITATION?

description: ABSTRACT: Under conditions of high stress, interactions between species can be positive. Islands of perennial vegetation can improve the conditions of the understory and facilitate the establishment of herbaceous plants. The hypothesis of this study is that islands of perennial vegetation in an area of caatinga harbor, a greater richness, diversity and density of herbaceous plants, and that individuals reach a greater height and diameter than in open spaces. The study was conducted in Petrolândia, Pernambuco, Brazil. Twenty-seven plots were installed in the center of the islands, 38 at the edge of the islands (in a total of 38 islands) and 35 in the open spaces. A total of 51 species were recorded in the center and 55 on the edge of the islands and 48 in the open spaces. The mean richness of the open spaces was lower than on the islands. The diversity was greater in the center of the island and became less on the edge of the island and in the open spaces. The mean density was lower in the open spaces than on the islands. The mean density at the edge of the islands was greater than in the center of the islands. There was no difference in mean diameter of herbaceous plants. The mean height of the individuals was higher in the center of the islands. The herbaceous community growing on the islands exhibited higher richness, diversity, density and height than in open spaces. Thus, islands of perennial vegetation facilitate the establishment of herbaceous species.

title: Offer of Schools of Quilombola School Education Center in the Northeast/BR

description: Abstract: The present study aims to present an overview of the implantation of Quilombola Schools (EEEQ) in the Northeast Region. Three aspects have been analyzed: (a) distribution of EEEQ by state and populational class in the Northeast region; (b) identification of the relation among communities self-defined as quilombolas, certified by the Palmares Cultural Foundation, and EEEQ offers; (c) analysis of enrolments in EEEQ. As it has been detected in previous studies, conflicting and unreliable information produced by the State foster the continuity of practices that neglect important information and take us to the road of institutionalized racism that lingers in Brazilian society.

title: Second home tourism on the south coast of Brazil: a discussion about its dimension and relevance for contemporary tourism activity

description: Abstract The objective of this article is to analyze the dimension of the second home tourism on the southern coast of Brazil, starting from the premise that this phenomenon is relevant within the scope of tourism, both at the domestic and international level. The second home is understood as a non-hotel type of tourist accommodation, to which there is a permanent bond, and the stay does not exceed the period of one year. Relevant features are the connections with civil construction activities and the real estate market. The relative invisibility of second home phenomenon in the databases that are tools for policy decision-making, at the federal and state level, is problematic. In terms of methodology, the approach of the theme was quantitative and exploratory in nature. The exploratory perspective guided the literature review on the public policy of tourism development and its priorities, as well as the phenomenon of the second vacation home and how it has been approached. The analysis of the secondary data involved collection, systematization, and interpretation, in order to make explicit the participation and the increasing volume of second residences on the coast. Data were collected exclusively for the coastal municipalities of the three southern Brazilian states at the IBGE bases. Then, comparative data were analyzed regarding the tourism map, in which the tourist destinations are classified. The results reiterate that ignoring these flows and territorial dynamics in the context of tourism public policy may lead to strong distortions in the planning, implementation, and results that can be obtained. The understanding of these flows, however, requires an effort of surveying, systematization, and statistical analysis different from that which must be undertaken to measure the economic flows from commercial accommodation establishments.

title: Relation Between Dendrometric Variables and Growth Stress in Eucalyptus

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to identify eucalyptus clones for the production of sawed timber based on dendrometric variables and longitudinal residual deformation (LRD), analyzing the correlation between these characteristics. 20 Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla clones with 13 years of age were analyzed. The crown size, diameter at breast height (DBH) and bark thickness were measured. There was a significant difference between the clones for DBH, LRD and bark thickness. There was no significant correlation between DBH and DRL. The correlation was significant between DBH and crown size, its being possible to affirm that crown size affects the diametrical growth of trees. DBH and bark thickness were also significantly correlated, in so far as trees with a wider diameter possess thicker bark. It was possible to select clones with better potential for sawed timber production, that is to say, elevated DBH with a reduced LRD.

title: Influence of the type of fastening of multi-layered closing panels on the estimate of the sound transmission loss

description: Abstract Industrialized closing systems appear as rational solutions in steel-structured construction. These closing systems, consisting of multi-layered panels, have been applied in projects where it is intended to obtain a high sound transmission loss without raising the cost and without using a lot of mass. However, acoustic isolation depends on several factors, including the type of connection between the panels, requiring a preliminary study of the acoustic performance of the closing system to prevent future interventions. This paper uses a simplified graphical method to evaluate the influence of the type of connection (line-line, line-punctual or punctual-punctual) of industrialized closing panels on the estimation of the sound transmission loss that occurs across the wall constituted by these panels. The panels are combined, forming multi-layered closings interleaved by a layer of air, either without or with a sound-absorbing material between them. The results show that it is necessary to check the effectiveness of each type of fastening of the closing systems because, for example, for the frequency range between 500 and 2,000 Hz, the sound transmission loss of a closing system consisting of cementitious plate with glass wool and line-punctual and punctual-punctual connections exceeds in 6.25% the sound transmission loss of the same system with line-line fastening. For a system composed of expanded polystyrene with glass wool, the sound transmission loss provided by line-line fastening exceeds in 7.0% the sound transmission loss of the same closing system with line-punctual and punctual-punctual fastenings.

title: Evaluation of the bone anatomy of the anterior region of the mandible using cone beam computed tomography

description: Abstract Background Hemorrhages, mouth floor edema and tongue elevation are complications related to surgical procedures in the anterior region of the mandible. Objective The objectives of this study were to evaluate the presence and location of the lingual foramen in the anterior region of the mandible and to evaluate mandibular morphology using cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Material and method The mandible’s morphology and the location, diameter and height of the lingual foramina were analyzed using the midline and the mental foramen as references, in 278 CBCT. Result 88% of the sample had a midline lingual foramen, totaling 408 foramina, with a mean diameter of 0.93 mm. Foramina in the lingual region between the midline and mental foramina were detected in 75% of the sample, with a mean diameter of 0.807 mm. There was no positive correlation between the presence of lingual foramina in the lateral or in the midline regions (r = -0.149; p = 0.013). In the midline region, the type I mandibular shape was predominant (96%), and type III was predominant in the lateral regions. Conclusion Considering the prevalence of these structures and their clinical relevance in potential surgical complications, it is important to carefully analyze the anterior region of the mandible during surgical planning.

title: Histological analysis of the use of biphasic ceramics based on hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate in maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery: pilot study

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the bone repair associated with the use of biphasic ceramics based on hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP) in the procedures of maxillary sinus membrane elevation in human beings. Material and method Ten patients with a residual bone ridge in the posterior maxillary region between 3 mm and 5 mm in height were selected and indicated for procedures of bone grafting associated with maxillary sinus lift procedure. The maxillary sinuses were filled with HA/TCP, and after 8 months, the implants were implanted and a bone biopsy was collected with the aid of a trephine drill, which was then submitted to histological analysis for the evaluation of the composition of the grafted area. Result The histological description analysis of the biopsies revealed the presence of vital and immature bone tissue, juxtaposed to the biomaterial. Histomorphometric analysis showed that the biopsy composition was in average 28.8%, 27.4%, and 43.6% of bone tissue, biomaterial, and soft tissue, respectively. Conclusion The areas grafted with HA/TCP presented the adequate amount of bone formation that allowed the implantation of the implants. The success of the grafting procedure with this biomaterial was associated with its osteoconduction potential that allowed the formation of bone tissue in close contact with HA/TCP.
