title: Pervious concrete made with electric furnace slag (FEA): mechanical and hydraulic properties

description: Abstract The objective of this work is to make feasible the use of FEA slag instead of the conventional bulk aggregate in the pervious concrete (PC) production, reaching the minimum parameters required by NBR16416/2015 and ACI 522R-10. This substitution would minimize the use of natural aggregates, besides taking advantage of a residue that has no specific destination. In order to reach the objective, three FEAs with different grain sizes were chosen: 6-10 mm (A), 10-20 mm (B) and finally a mixture of the two previous ones (C) in the proportion 30-70 respectively. In order to evaluate its mechanical behavior, tests of compressive strength and flexural tensile tests were carried out, while the evaluation of the hydraulic behavior, porosity and constant head permeability test were performed. The compressive strength varies from 19-31MPa and 3-4MPa for flexural tensile strength was obtained. In hydraulic terms, the porosity varied from 15-20% and the permeability coefficient was 10-12mm/s. There is also a direct influence of grains of size less than 4.8 mm (small aggregate) on the compressive strength and permeability of PCs. At the end of the results, it was possible to establish a correlation between the compressive strength, the permeability and the percentage of grains inferior to 4.8mm (sand%), being this positive in relation to the studied variables, that is, the mechanical and hydraulics. Therefore, it has been concluded that the total substitution of conventional aggregates by FEA in CoPe manufacturing will comply with the minimum parameters of NBR 16416/2015.

title: Analysis of the functional performance of infants with congenital zika syndrome: a longitudinal study

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to longitudinally evaluate the functional performance of infants affected by Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS). A study was carried out with infants from the Laboratório de Estudos em Pediatria of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco and the Aliança de Mães e Famílias Raras, aged between 6 and 24 months, of both genders. The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) was applied to analyze functional performance in two evaluations, with a minimum of six months interval between them. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. In the sample of 16 infants, we observed a change in the classification from normal to delay in the domains of self-care and social function, with a significant decrease in normative scores (p=0.001 and p&lt;0.001, respectively); in the mobility, individuals initially classified with delay also presented reduction of normative scores (p=0.001), remaining in the same classification. Despite the significant increase in gross self-care scores (p=0.024) and mobility (p=0.001), infants remained classified as delayed. Caregiver care was analyzed in these evaluation, in which 100% of infants were delayed in all three domains of the PEDI, receiving maximum or full care. The main environmental modifications were those focused on the child. We concluded that infants with CZS presented significant delays in functional performance, with a slow evolution in the evaluated range.

title: Microhabitat preferences of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium jelskii (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

description: ABSTRACT We analyzed the microhabitat preferences of Macrobrachium jelskii (Miers, 1877) males and females inhabiting an urban water reservoir in Cruz das Almas, Bahia, Brazil. Prawns were collected monthly, from March 2015 to February 2016, in three microhabitats, using a sieve. Each microhabitat was dominated by one macrophyte species: Eleocharis sp. (M1), Cabomba sp. (M2), and Nymphaea sp. (M3). The prawns were measured (carapace length), and categorized as juvenile males, adult males, juvenile females, non-ovigerous adult females and ovigerous adult females. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the number and size of individuals. The sex ratio and frequency of ovigerous females in the three microhabitats were also calculated. The sex ratio was biased towards females in M1 and did not deviate from 1:1 in M2 and M3. When prawns were separated into five categories we observed that non-ovigerous adult females were more abundant in M1, while adult males were the most abundant demographic category in M2 and M3. Juveniles of both sexes and ovigerous females showed no microhabitat preference, although M1 and M2 appeared to be more suitable for the latter. Adult females were the largest individuals in all microhabitats. Food availability, lower depth and lower predation pressure in M1 are the main factors that make M1 more suitable for M. jelskii, particularly non-ovigerous adult females and larger adult males. Intraspecific competition for shelter in M1 might also occur and adult females win this competition due to their larger body size. Therefore, adult males are found in higher abundance in M2 and M3 and the juvenile of both sexes spread evenly across all microhabitats. Our results help to understand the ecological role and the niche used by M. jelskii. Future studies on the habitat choice and predation under laboratory conditions should help to understand the behavior of this species.

title: Impacts of Different Forms of Poverty Measurement on Variatons of the Personal Wellbeing Index

description: Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of different forms of poverty measurement on variations of the Personal Well-being Index (PWI) of poor and non-poor individuals. Comparative analyzes were performed with the Student's t-test and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) in a comparative perspective of different forms of poverty measurement. The sample consisted of 731 Brazilian subjects, 57% from a northeastern state and 43% form a southern state, with a mean age of 36,7 years (SD = 16,0). Monetary and multidimensional measures of poverty were used. The results indicate that, regardless of the form of poverty measurement, there is a negative impact on PWI. However, the use of the multidimensional perspective seems to have a greater capacity to identify the psychosocial impacts of poverty.

title: Psiconology: The Study of Images Produced by Psychology in Light of Mitchell’s Iconology

description: Abstract In Psychology, the pictorial phenomenon has traditionally been debated in the fields of art psychology and psychology of images. We added to the discussion Mitchell’s Iconology, centred on the discursive study of images. We worked with research projects in psychology found in the CAPES (Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education) Evaluation of 2012 dealing with pictorial phenomenon. From the abstracts of these projects, we extracted six thematic units-image-mind, image-representation, image-stimulus, image-record, image-expression, image-production-defined by specific iconological associations. From the latter, image-production, we identified a field worthy of specific research: the debate about pictorial production within the very field of psychology, significant today because of the increasing use of visual methods and something which we called psiconology.

title: Prevalence of Common Mental Disorders and Alcohol and Substance Abse Among Correctional Officers*

description: Abstract We investigated the prevalence of Common Mental Health Disorders (CMD) and substance abuse among correctional officers in a northeastern state of Brazil. In the study, 403 workers answered the SRQ-20, the ASSIST questionnaire and a semistructured interview script. Results show an incidence of 23.57% of CMD and abuse/dependence in tobacco (35.9%), alcohol (88.3%), marijuana (10.5%), cocaine (3.6%), amphetamine (1.1%), inhalants (7.6%), hypnotics (4.4%) and hallucinogens (0.3%). The determinant factors are: type of detention facility, having another occupation in the field of security, over 10 years in the profession and working double shifts. This is challenging not only in terms of providing health care for correctional officers, but also to psychologists working in this field due to how it affects the lives of those workers.

title: Chemical attributes and microbial activity of soil cultivated with cassava under different cover crops

description: ABSTRACT Conservationist systems of crop management increases the amount of substrate, alters fertility and increases soil biological activity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of soil management systems on the chemical attributes and microbial activity of soil under cassava crop. The experiment was set as completely randomized design in a factorial scheme of 2 x 3 x 2, being two systems of cultivation (minimum with only mown; minimum with mown and incorporation), three types of soil coverage (fallow; Crotalaria juncea L.; Canavalia ensiformis L.) and two soil depths (0-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m), with four repetitions. The production of dry mass from cover crops, the soil chemical attributes and the soil microbial activity were evaluated. There were no differences between management systems, and the C. juncea cover crop presented superior dry mass production among the soil coverages. The concentrations of soil Ca and K were greater in the fallow coverage and C. juncea areas in the 0-0.10 m soil layer; however, these nutrients differ in the soil layer below (0.10-0.20 m). There were no differences for the basal respiration of soil microorganisms in both soil depths or among soil coverage, but the carbon from microbial biomass was superior in the most superficial soil layer where more substrate is available to soil microorganisms.

title: Thermal simulation of prisms with concrete blocks in a fire situation

description: Abstract The purpose of the current study is to verify the thermal insulation capacity of concrete block masonry in a fire situation through the thermal simulation of prisms. Initially, a prism with mortar coating on the face exposed to fire was numerically simulated and compared to experimental results provided by a company in order to validate the block thermal properties. To represent air in the block cavities, fluid-structure interaction was used in ABAQUS software. The uncoated and mortar-coated prisms on both sides were analyzed in a fire situation. The thermal insulation of the uncoated prism was maintained for more than 60 minutes and with the application of coating on both faces there was an increase of 59% of this time. The thermal fields were generated, thus leading to future thermomechanical analysis.

title: Depression and anxiety among patients undergoing dialysis and kidney transplantation: a cross-sectional study

description: ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are the most prevalent psychological disorders among end-stage renal disease patients and are associated with various conditions that result in poorer health outcomes, e.g. reduced quality of life and survival. We aimed to investigate the prevalences of depression and anxiety among patients undergoing renal replacement therapy. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. METHODS: Patients’ depression and anxiety levels were assessed using the Beck Inventory. The independent variables were the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), Charlson Comorbidity Index and Global Subjective Assessment, along with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS: 205 patients were included. Depression and anxiety symptoms were detected in 41.7% and 32.3% of dialysis patients and 13.3% and 20.3% of transplantation patients, respectively. Lower SF-36 mental summary scores were associated with depression among transplantation patients (odds ratio, OR: 0.923; 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.85-0.99; P = 0.03) and dialysis patients (OR: 0.882; 95% CI: 0.83-0.93; P ≤ 0.001). Physical component summary was associated with depression among dialysis patients (OR: 0.906; 95% CI: 0.85-0.96; P = 0.001). Loss of vascular access (OR: 3.672; 95% CI: 1.05-12.78; P = 0.04), comorbidities (OR: 1.578; 95% CI: 1.09-2.27; P = 0.01) and poorer SF-36 mental (OR: 0.928; 95% CI: 0.88-0.97; P = 0.002) and physical (OR: 0.943; 95% CI: 0.89-0.99; P = 0.03) summary scores were associated with anxiety among dialysis patients. CONCLUSIONS: Depression and anxiety symptoms occurred more frequently among patients undergoing dialysis. Quality of life, comorbidities and loss of vascular access were associated factors.

title: Mixed states and suicidal behavior: a systematic review

description: Abstract Introduction The objective of this study was to identify whether mixed states in bipolar disorder (BD) are associated with more frequent suicidal behavior when compared to manic/hypomanic and depressive episodes. Method We performed a systematic search of the scientific literature on the subject using the PubMed, ISI Web Of Science, PsycINFO and SciELO databases. The terms chosen for the search were (bipolar) AND (suicid*) AND (mixed). We selected original studies comparing suicidal behavior of patients in mixed states and suicidal behavior of patients in other BD phases. Results Sixteen papers fit the selection criteria. Twelve of the original 16 studies compared suicidal behavior in mixed states and pure mania, and the majority of these studies (n = 11) revealed that suicidal behavior was more frequent among individuals in mixed states. Five of the papers compared suicidal behavior between depressive and mixed phases of BD. One of these five papers reported more severe suicidal behavior in patients in mixed states and another described more frequent suicidal behavior in patients with pure depression. There were no significant statistical differences between groups in the remaining three of these five studies. Conclusion During acute BD episodes, suicidal behavior is more strongly associated with mixed states than with pure mania or hypomania. However, it was not possible to demonstrate that the association between suicidal behavior and mixed states is stronger than the association between suicidal behavior and depressive phases. The results hereby presented are worth considering in clinical practice to better evaluate suicide risk and to prevent suicide.
