title: SELECTION OF COMMON BEAN LINES FOR STANDARD AND QUALITY SEEDS

description: ABSTRACT: The selection of common bean lines for seed coat standard, sanitary and physiological quality seed is recent in breeding programs. The objectives of this research were to evaluate if common bean lines differ for seed coat standard, sanitary and physiological quality seed, to investigate the correlation between these characters and to select common bean lines with high seed quality. For this, 16 inbred common bean lines were evaluated in normal rainy growing season. The common bean lines showed significant difference for the weight of thousand seeds, seed coat color, lignin content, length, width and thickness seeds, Fusarium sp. incidence, germination, first germination count, accelerated ageing, length of shoot, root and total of seedling, dry matter of shoot and total of seedling and emergency of seedling in field. A positive correlation coefficient was found between emergency of seedling in field and germination (r = 0.650), first germination count (r = 0.600), accelerated ageing (r = 0.793) and electric conductivity (r = 0.635). The indirect selection by germination, first germination count and accelerated ageing is effective to identify common bean lines with the highest emergency of seedling in field and germination. The selection of TB 02-07, SM 1810, Carioca, LP 08-90, SM 1107, LP 07-80, Pérola, CNFP 10104 and TB 02-24 lines is recommended for use in controlled hybridization programs for improvement of news common bean cultivars of high seeds quality.

title: Strategy or Legitimacy? Analysis of the Role of Institutional Development Plans in Brazilian Universities

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to analyze whether Institutional Development Plans (IDP) are strategic documents or simply a response to seeking legitimacy in the face of regulatory pressures. This is a qualitative study based on information from 20 IDPs of Brazilian universities, categorized as private, public, community, or confessional. To analyze the IDPs, the content analysis methodology was used. As a result, it was found that most IDPs are much more descriptive documents, with operational goals and plans, than documents with strategic characteristics. On the other hand, in most of the documents analyzed, there was evidence of the importance and relevance of constructing an IDP as a benefit for the management and the university organization as a whole. It was concluded that IDPs tend to be documents that seek to provide universities with legitimacy in relation to the actors involved. In other words, they converge towards institutional isomorphism. Thus, they are not prepared, and used only due to institutional demands, but mainly due to legal impositions.

title: A bilinear elastic constitutive model applied for midpalatal suture behavior during rapid maxillary expansion

description: Introduction : This study aims to evaluate the influence of the biomechanical behavior of the midpalatal suture (MPS) during the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) when modeled by the Finite Element Method. Methods Four simulation alternatives are discussed and, for each analysis, the suture is considered as a functional unit with a different mechanical behavior: (i) without MPS elements, (ii) MPS with Young's modulus (E) equal to 1 MPa, (ii) MPS with E equal to 0.01 MPa and (iv) MPS with bilinear elastic behavior. Results The stress analysis showed that, when MPS is not considered in the model, stress peaks are reduced in magnitude and their distribution is restricted to a smaller area when compared to the model with the inclusion of MPS (E=1 MPa). The increased suture stiffness also has a direct influence on MPS displacements after 30 expander activations. Conclusion The consideration of the MPS in RME computer models influences greatly the calculated displacements between the suture bone ends, even as the stress levels in maxillary structures. Furthermore, as proposed for the described model, the elastic bilinear behavior assigned to MPS allows coherent prediction of stresses and displacements results, being a good representation for this suture overall behavior.

title: DECREPIT, ANEMIC AND TUBERCULOUS: AFRICAN PATIENTS IN THE SANTA CASA DE MISERICÓRDIA HOSPITAL (BAHIA, BRAZIL, 1867-1872)

description: Abstract In this article, I consider the question of illnesses of Africans living in Salvador in the 1870s using the entry records of patients of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia hospital, in Bahia, unpublished sources found in the archive of the institution. Although we imagine that many of these foreigners sought - for cultural and religious reasons - alternative cure methods rather than official medicine, often diseases did not improve, and it was frequently necessary to go to the hospital to deal with the terrible physical ailments that affected them. When considering this important moment in the life of Africans in Brazil - that of dealing with serious illness - the entry records are a privileged source. The intention is to consider, based on the initial sample, ways of analyzing the presence of Africans in the Santa Casa de Misericórdia of Bahia, to get closer to who they were and how they lived. The data indicates, in addition to their names, ages, condition, marital status, profession, colour and nationality, the problems with which the patients arrived, the exact date of check-in, the ward that they were taken to and the precise date of check-out, or if it was the case, of death. Additionally, I consider the medical conceptions of the 19th century regarding diseases of Africans, as well as the conditions of functioning of the institution itself, related to part of the vast bibliography about the theme of the health of slaves. The article concludes with the narrative of life of one African, speculating about the possibilities and directions that he could have taken throughout his life, which were common to the majority of Africans in Bahia then.

title: Estimation of cardiovascular risk and detection of subclinical carotid atheromatosis in patients with diabetes without a history of cardiovascular disease

description: ABSTRACT Objectives Cardiovascular risk estimated by several scores in patients with diabetes mellitus without a cardiovascular disease history and the association with carotid atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) were the aims of this study. Materials and methods Cardiovascular risk was calculate using United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk engine, Framingham risk score for cardiovascular (FSCV) and coronary disease (FSCD), and the new score (NS) proposed by the 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol. Ultrasound was used to assess CAP occurrence. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed. Results One hundred seventy patients (mean age 61.4 ± 11 years, 58.8% men) were included. Average FSCV, FSCD and NS values were 33.6% ± 21%, 20.6% ± 12% and 24.8% ± 18%, respectively. According to the UKPDS score, average risk of coronary disease and stroke were 22.1% ± 16% and 14.3% ± 19% respectively. Comparing the risks estimated by the different scores a significant correlation was found. The prevalence of CAP was 51%, in patients with the higher scores this prevalence was increased. ROC analysis showed a good discrimination power between subjects with or without CAP. Conclusion The cardiovascular risk estimated was high but heterogenic. The prevalence of CAP increased according to the strata of risk. Understanding the relationship between CAP and scores could improve the risk estimation in subjects with diabetes.

title: GPR 3D PROFILE OF THE ADEQUATENESS OF UNDERGROUND DAMS IN A SUB-WATERSHED OF THE BRAZILIAN SEMIARID

description: ABSTRACT The conventional method monitoring and adequateness of underground dams requires invasive investigatory actions with in their interior structure and only provides specific information for small volumes. On the contrary, application of non-invasive sensing techniques, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), makes it possible to investigate and explore underground without affecting their structure. A GRP 3D profile was acquired with the aim to allot and monitor an underground dam in the Brazilian semiarid region in the alluvial sub-watershed of the Riacho Pau Lavrado in the Sertão Central de Lajes region of the state of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil. The GPR profile records were acquired along an alluvial section, processed using the Reflex 5 software and exported into the Opendetec 4.4.0 software in order to obtain a virtual 3D model. The GPR 3D profile of the alluvial deposits shows irregularities of the crystalline basement and external topographical surface (soil). The interpretation of the alluvial GPR profile allows precise adequateness of the underground dam, which supports an increase in the area of hydric accumulation and promotes low-cost building due to the allocation selected with minor sedimentation.

title: REACTION OF PSIDIUM SPP. ACCESSIONS TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF INOCULATION WITH MELOIDOGYNE ENTEROLOBII

description: ABSTRACT Meloidogyne enterolobii associated with Fusarium solani causes the guava decay, which is the main factor of yield loss in guava crops and limits guava production in Brazil. Therefore, searching for guava genotypes (Psidium spp.) with resistance to M. enterolobii is important to control this root-knot nematode. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the reaction of Psidium spp. accessions from the Germplasm Bank of the Bahia State University (UNEB) to different levels of inoculation with M. enterolobii. Guava seedlings were inoculated with 600, 1,600, and 2,000 eggs + J2 second stage juveniles of M. enterolobii and the root fresh weight, total number of eggs (TNE), and reproduction factor (RF) were evaluated. The results were subjected to ANOVA and means were clustered using the Scott-Knott test at 5% probability. The diversity of accessions was estimated using the Tocher's clustering and UPGMA methods. The nematode RF reduced in some accessions with increasing inoculation levels of the nematode. However, the RF increased in some accessions with high levels of inoculation. Plants of the Y50 accession were immune or resistant to M. enterolobii, indicating variability of reaction of plants to the nematode within the Psidium genus. The resistance of Psidium accessions to M. enterolobii needs to be measured with different inoculation levels to verify the existence of false-positive results, since the evaluated accessions, including the Paluma cultivar, presented distinct reactions regarding RF in the three levels of inoculation used.

title: Analysis of pharmaceutical assistance in planning: participation of professionals and qualification of management

description: Abstract Background The development of Pharmaceutical Assistance, as well as all areas of action of the SUS, is the responsibility of the three managing instances (municipal, state and federal). In this context, the participation of the actors responsible for its management in the forecast planning budget resources for allocation in this area is fundamental, according to their capacity and priority, taking into account the scarcity of resources and the needs verified. Objective To describe the participation of the ones involved in the pharmaceutical assistance, regarding instruments development for budgeting and health planning for their municipalities. Method This paper has analyzed information produced by the project “A assistência farmacêutica nas Redes de Atenção à Saúde: um recorte nas regiões do Projeto QualiSUS-Rede”, where data gathering, conducted from December 2013 to July 2015, in 485 municipalities and the Federal District, was handled through the interview of those in charge of the Pharmaceutical Assistance in the municipalities. The study was cross-sectional and analyzed variables related to the profile of the professionals responsible for Pharmaceutical Assistance regarding professional training, workload and work relationship, as well as the participation of these professionals in the elaboration of the budget planning (PPA, LOA, LDO) and health instruments (PS, PAS, RAG). Complimentarily, we verified the insertion of the planning instruments related to the study period in the SARGSUS System. Results Pharmaceutical assistance (n=417) was low as in the elaboration of the budget planning and health instruments, with a greater participation in the elaboration of PPP (24.0%) and PS (52.0%). Regarding PAS and RAG, there was a greater knowledge of the presence of actions related to pharmaceutical assistance by those who participated in its elaboration (67.0% and 68.8%, respectively). Conclusion The data depict unsatisfactory engagement of the actors responsible for Pharmaceutical Assistance in elaboration and awareness of the actions foreseen at the municipalities’ planning tools and suggests the produced planning instruments may not be linked with the real situation of the health services as well as with the rational use of financing for the Pharmaceutical Assistance.

title: Knowledge of medical students regarding living wills

description: Abstract The end of a person’s life raises many ethical dilemmas. Recently, the Brazil’s Federal Council of Medicine approved and regulated the concept of “living will”; as a result, it is of considerable importance that doctors understand the issues that surround this matter. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge of medical students from the Pará State University, Brazil, of “living wills” and decisions involving the end of life. A cross-sectional study was performed with 238 students who answered a questionnaire of 10 questions. Only 8% of students demonstrated a clear understanding of the term “living will”. Nevertheless, when the definition of “living will” was explained to the participants of the study by the researchers, 92% of students declared that they would respect its provisions. Therefore it appears that while most respondents had a low level of understanding of the concept of “living will”, the vast majority positioned themselves in favor of accepting such a document.
