title: Comparing Stage Presence and Virtual Reality Presence

description: Abstract: Reflecting on the impending release of new Head Mounted Display virtual reality (VR) technologies, the article examines definitions and techniques for digital presence, and compares them with research into stage presence. It opens with an outline of definitions of digital presence, comparing them with Cormac Power's fictional, auratic, and literal modes of presence in performance. The article then looks at techniques used in VR and on stage to achieve presence. Finally, performance examples that use virtual reality technologies are presented. The article concludes that even if the technology falls short, discourse on digital presence is useful in providing insights into presence on stage.

title: Association of Fusarium and Phomopsis with Peroba Rosa Seeds

description: ABSTRACT Peroba rosa (Aspidosperma polyneuron) is a native forest species endangered due to intense predatory exploitation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association and fungi transmission in peroba rosa seeds from four regions of Paraná. Germination and vigor were evaluated using the paper roll method. Sanitary analysis consisted of the detection of endophytic and epiphytic fungi using potato-dextrose-agar medium and Fusarium selective medium. For transmission, non-disinfested seeds were sown in vermiculite and kept in greenhouse. Germination ranged from 9.3% to 60%. Fusarium sp. and Phomopsis sp. were found as epiphytic and also as endophytic. There was transmission of Fusarium sp. and Phomopsis sp. from seeds to seedlings, causing malformation and necrosis on roots and cotyledons.

title: Spotted fever in Brazil: mortality study for epidemiological surveillance

description: Abstract Brazilian Spotted Fever is an infectious disease, typically characterized by mild to severe fever that if not properly treated, may reach a lethality rate of 85%. Brazilian Spotted Fever is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii that is transmitted through tick’s saliva. In Brazil, the most important vector is the Amblyomma cajennense. This study discusses the number of deaths due to infection by Rickettsia in Brazil, projecting the needs for knowledge expansion and dissemination on the possible occurrence of Brazilian Spotted Fever; and discusses the symptoms, differential diagnosis and epidemiological data. The methodology consisted in identifying the deaths by Rickettsia in Brazil, from 2005 to 2010, using the Mortality Information System. Seventy five cases were studied. There was a concentration of deaths in the southeast and south of the country, and a lethality rate of 24.8%. The results will help to raise awareness among professionals, and will help to understand the importance of combining clinical, epidemiological and laboratory data to facilitate recognition of the disease and early treatment.

title: Between Gentlemen, Sambas and Beers: the discursive construction of the easy mulatto woman in Brazil

description: Abstract: This article aims to undertake a reading of the discourses that deal with the imaginary about easy mulatto woman in Brazil (Freyre, 2006 [1933]), considering its historical and semiological density. That aim is based on statements that emerge on that mulatto woman in slavery period, discussing how it is put to the test during the twentieth century and, finally, analysing the updates and appropriations of that memory nowadays. The starting point is a discourse analysis derived from Michel Pêcheux, but also incorporates the contributions of Michel Foucault, as well as current discussions undertaken by Jean-Jacques Courtine, especially those concerning to the Historical Semiology.

title: A Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Tool for Spacecraft Equipment Layout Conception

description: ABSTRACT: One issue the design team has to face in the process of building a new spacecraft, is to define its mechanical and electrical architecture. The choice of where to place the spacecraft´s electronic equipment is a complex task, since it involves simultaneously many factors, such as the spacecraft's required position of center of mass, moments of inertia, equipment heat dissipation, integration and servicing issues, among others. Since this is a multidisciplinary task, the early positioning of the spacecraft´s equipment is usually done "manually" by a group of system engineers, heavily based on their experience. It is an interactive process that takes time and hence, as soon as a feasible design is found, it becomes the baseline. This precludes a broader exploration of the design space, which may lead to a suboptimal solution, or worse to a design that will have to be modified later. Recently, it has been shown the potential benefits of automating the process of spacecraft´s equipment layout using optimization techniques. In this paper, a prototype of an Excel® based tool for multidisciplinary spacecraft equipment layout conception is described. Provided the geometric dimensions, mass and heat dissipation of the equipment, and the available positioning area, the tool can automatically generate many possible trade-off solutions for the layout. It allows the user to set specific equipment to specific areas of positioning, and different combinations of objective functions can be used to drive the design. The features of the tool are shown in a simplified three dimensional problem.

title: Indirect management in hospital care: analysis of contractualisation by outsourcing of SUS hospitals

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to analyze contracting and rendering of accounts adopted in the publicity of hospital services in the Unified Health System (SUS) Bahia. Qualitative research, based on contracts, quarterly management reports, interviews with senior management of hospital care in the state, and hospital characteristics according to the National Register of Health Establishments. Conceptually, accountability and performance were adopted, with implementation of the Cycle of Public Policy. The Social Organizations presented a budget consisting of fixed and variable parts that is conditioned to performance, its management and assistance indicators are pre-established and the goals plan justifies the occurrence of budget cuts and/or rebalancing. The low correlation between contractual goals and health needs of the territory was striking. The contractual additives were essential for expansion of hospital beds, but did not meet the need for more human resources and determined an important challenge for the capacity of budgetary rebalancing. Moreover on the methodology of monitoring and control of the technostructure, a remarkable fragility was observed, given the insufficiency of indicators and the incipient critical analysis of the hospital performance presented in the reports. It is considered that the model, which has a doctrinaire basis in the neo-managerial perspective, was implemented without simultaneous improvement of the monitoring, Gordian knot of the contracting power of the state.

title: Roughness and stability of compound resin color exposed to bleaching strips after surface treatment

description: ABSTRACT Objective to analyze the surface roughness and color stability of the composite resin after surface treatment with the aluminum oxide discs and subsequent exposure to the Advanced Teeth Whitening Strips. Methods 20 specimens of the Filtek Z350XT restorer (3M®) were prepared and daily subjected to home bleaching for 30 minutes during 14 days. A precision rugosimeter was used in order to verify the roughness by means of 3 random readings in the same direction in each sample. For color stability the CIELAB system (L*, a*, b* values) was used through the spectrophotometer (MINOLTA CR -321, Japan). The means of the test specimens as well as the mean of each group were calculated using the random readings. Data statistical analysis were performed by ANOVA- analysis of variance. The level of significance was set at 5% (p ≤ 0.05). Results Roughness did not present great numerical variations. No statistically significant difference between the means obtained concerning the surface roughness of the composite resin with p = 0.44 was observed. However, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the means obtained in relation to the color stability of the composite resin, p=0. 007. Conclusion It was concluded that pre-contoured strips containing 6% hydrogen peroxide do not have a significant adverse effect on the roughness of Z350XT (3M®) resin. However, it was also concluded that according to the color stability analysis performed, there may be an indication of the restoration replacement after the bleaching treatment, due to their color change.

title: Gene therapy and its applicability in Dentistry

description: ABSTRACT Objective Explore scientific publications on the use of gene therapy in dentistry. Methods A bibliographic survey was carried out with articles published in the last eleven years, available on online platforms that had the highest correlation to the proposed theme. Results Since the 1960s, researchers have attempted to establish guidelines for treatments using gene therapy; however, it was only in the mid-1990s that their use in science was authorized. Gene therapy in dentistry has the ability to alter and improve genetically, through stem cells in dental tissues associated with recombinant viral vectors, therapeutic protocols against diseases that do notrespond to conventional treatments. Conclusion The perspectives of dentistry concerning this resource have been positive, mainly in the reestablishment and regeneration of tissues in pulp pathologies, periodontopathies, bone disorders, orofacial pain among others. It is known that this form of therapy still requires more research, however, in the near future, it may be a safe first option treatment in hospital and outpatient settings.

title: GAS EXCHANGE AND PHOTOCHEMICAL EFFICIENCY IN LIMA BEAN GENOTYPES GROWN IN COMPACTED SOILS

description: ABSTRACT The effects of soil compaction on crop growth and productivity have been well studied in recent years, however, studies on the physiological responses of crops to compaction are scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of soil compaction on gas exchange, and photochemical efficiency of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) genotypes of different growth habits. The experimental design was a randomized block in a 3×4 factorial arrangement, with three lima bean genotypes (Branca-Pequena, Orelha-de-Vó and Roxinha) and four compaction levels (soil densities of 1.1, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7 g cm-3), with four replications. The following variables were evaluated at 38 days after sowing: photosynthetic rate (A), leaf transpiration (E), stomatal conductance (gs), internal CO2 concentration (Ci), instantaneous water use efficiency (WUE), intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE), instantaneous carboxylation efficiency (iCE) and photochemical efficiency (Fo, Fm, Fv and Fv/Fm). The data were subjected to analysis of variance at 5% probability by the F test. The genotypes showed a reduction in the photosynthetic rate with increasing soil compaction. The soil compaction affected the photochemical efficiency of the genotype Orelha-de-Vó, with the Fm and Fv fitting to the linear model, and the Fv/Fm fitting to the quadratic model. The genotype Orelha-de-Vó had the highest rate of E and gs at the soil densities of 1.24 and 1.29 g cm-3, respectively. Regarding the photosynthetic rate, the genotype Roxinha is more efficient than Branca-Pequena at the soil density of 1.7 g cm -3.
