title: Environmental toxicity of effluents of different laboratories of a compounding pharmacy

description: There is a growing concern over so-called "emerging pollutants" in the production of pharmaceuticals. These pollutants reach the environment from household waste or from leftovers generated during production. In small concentrations of the order of micrograms per liter or less, or in concentrations ineffective at producing a biological response in humans in the short-term, chronic exposure can still have a great impact on the environment. This study evaluated the possible risk of contamination posed by the release of raw materials from small-scale drug production by compounding pharmacies, based on an ecotoxicity assessment conducted by biomonitoring Euglena gracilis algae. The study also investigated the impacts on behavior and the changes in the photosynthesis process of this algae. Samples of four laboratories with different demands were comparatively analyzed. Behavioral changes of the algae (ascent rate to the surface, r-value and speed of movement) were assessed by biomonitoring NG-TOX and photosynthetic parameters were measured by pulse-amplitude modulation fluorometer (PAM). The results showed that the effluent from hormone laboratory that had a low semestral production had little impact. On another hand, the effluent from the psychotropics laboratory, even with intermediate demand, had a significant impact on the behavior and photosynthetic activity of algae. The behavior differences observed between the different sectors of drugs shows that the impacts and potential environmental risks are different for each sector. The demand and the different substances manipulated can be crucial in risk classification and in the choice of decontamination methods.

title: Environmental factors related to the occurrence of potentially toxic cyanobacteria in Guarapiranga Reservoir, SP, Brazil

description: The objective of this study was to investigate which environmental variables are correlated to the occurrence and dominance of potentially toxic species in Guarapiranga Reservoir, in the metropolitan region of São Paulo/SP - Brazil. Water samples were collected in order to conduct physical, chemical and biologic analyses in the rainy and dry seasons in the reservoir's upstream and intermediate zones and near its dam. The organisms were microscopically analyzed, identified and quantified, and their dimensions were measured for biomass calculation. The results indicated that the environmental characteristics of each zone of the reservoir are distinct and the biomass, as well as the occurrence of potentially toxic genera of cyanobacteria, vary according to these characteristics. The canonical correspondence analysis showed a correlation between high ammonium levels, low photic zone and neutral-alkaline pH with the biomass of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii in the rainy season and of Planktolyngbya limnetica in the dry season in the intermediate zone of the reservoir (the Parelheiros zone). The high cyanobacteria biomass and water quality deterioration in the reservoir in the dry season have probably been influenced by the transposition of the Billings reservoir water over an extended period of the year, due to the intense drought of 2014.

title: CONCEPT AND VALIDATION OF THE CLASSROOM OBSERVATION PROTOCOL (COP) OF THE PROGRAMA SEGUNDO TEMPO

description: ABSTRACT The Programa Segundo Tempo (PST) designed theorethical and methodological standards in order to provide quality in sports education on national scale. The PST built an evaluation model to measure the compliance level of teachers to the PST pedagogical model. Thus, the objective of this study was to design the Class Observation Protocol (COP), as well as to establish its face and content validity. The following steps were followed in the instrument’s construction: a. review of the documents underlying the PST; B. meetings and consultations with the pedagogical teams; C. construction of the operational definition; d. construction of items; and. pilot study (Concordance Index between observers assessing the same class). In general, no differences were found between teams as to the relevance of the items and their weights. In addition, a pilot application presented a Concordance Index of 0.71 ± 0.22. Thus, the COP proved to be consistent and an excellent indicator to measure the PST’s teaching quality.

title: Digestible threonine: lysine ratio in diets for white laying hens at 42 to 58 weeks of age

description: SUMMARY This study was conducted to determine the ideal ratio of digestible threonine: lysine in diets for laying hens at 42 to 58 weeks of age. Two hundred forty Hy Line W-36 laying hens were used at 42 weeks of age for 16 weeks. The treatments were distributed in a completely randomized design with eight replicates and six birds each. The experimental diets were formulated with five levels of digestible threonine (0.461; 0.515; 0.569; 0.622 and 0.676%) providing the five ratio of digestible threonine: lysine (60; 67; 74; 81 and 88%) studied. The variables analyzed were: egg production; feed intake; lysine intake; threonine intake; mass egg; average egg weight; lysine use efficiencies by mass and produced eggs; feed conversion per mass and dozen eggs; Average weights yolk, albumen and shell; weight gain and final body weights of birds; and nitrogen balance. The digestible threonine: lysine ratio in the diet did not influence the analyzed variables except consumption of threonine which showed a linear effect. The ideal ratio of digestible threonine: lysine in diets for white laying hens at 42 to 58 weeks of age is 60%, which corresponds to the level of 0.461% of digestible threonine in the diet and daily intake of digestible threonine 446mg/bird.

title: Palliative care and primary health care: scoping review

description: Abstract The ageing population has increased the incidence of chronic health conditions, requiring the inclusion of different levels of palliative care (PC) in different parts of the health system, including the Primary Health Care (PHC). This new reality might interfere with the ethical issues of PHC. This research aimed to identify, from the point of view of health professionals, the ethical problems which arise from the palliative care in PHC. We carried out a systematic review in PubMed, EMBASE, LILACS, CINAHL, using the descriptors ‘ethics’, ‘bioethic’s, ‘Primary Health Care’ and ‘Palliative Care’. We found 3,915 articles of which 16 remained after analyses. The ethical problems found were: lack of resources; lack of knowledge about palliative care; lack of communication skills; difficulty in establishing limits in clinical relationship; work overload; lack of support from referral services. These problems, in general are similar to those experienced in the PHC but with differences in specific situations. The incorporation of palliative care to the Primary Health Care specific guidelines and training as well as the custom of shared and co-responsible care.

title: Browsing taxonomies in e-commerce websites: Evaluation criteria

description: This paper presents the result of a Master's thesis that aimed to develop and validate a set of evaluation criteria of browsing taxonomies used in e-commerce websites. The reason for choosing e-commerce websites is their widespread use of browsing taxonomies. The bibliographic review of the paper covers theoretical aspects about taxonomies and e-commerce. For this purpose, the following two evaluation criteria were established: Communicability and Organization. The sample selected for the application of the criteria consisted of five virtual stores. The result of the evaluation was heterogeneous and the virtual shops were classified as regular or excellent. Finally, the results were considered consistent and the criteria validated. The development of taxonomies is considered a subjective activity, but minimum recommendations should be followed.

title: Fins Module Conception of the Microsatellite Launch Vehicle Based on Design for Manufacture and Assembly Method

description: ABSTRACT: This paper presents the application of the Design for Manufacture and Assembly method (DFMA) during the conception of a space product. This approach enables to capture manufacture and assembly requirements in early phases of development. DFMA guides the manufacture processes and materials that rule the Fins Module interface to the Microsatellite Launch Vehicle (VLM-1) main structure. The results of this process are the requirements captured in the beginning of the project development, allowing avoiding problems that generally occur in the manufacture stage and in assembly, integration and test (AIT) phase. Rework, material loss, wasting time to assembly and integration, over engineering and unnecessary engineering are problems that the method intends to reduce in the physical implementation phase.

title: Cumulative equations for continuous time Chicago hyetograph method

description: ABSTRACT The Chicago method is a classical method based on IDF curves for obtaining design hyetographs which present rainfall rates as continuous functions of time, one valid for times before peak and another for after peak. The intensity peak of rainfall is arbitrarily positioned at time zero, the function before peak counting time reversely and the function after peak with time axis normally. The time duration of the hyetograph before peak is determined by multiplying the total duration by a displacement factor with value between zero and one. This technical note presents both equations for before and after peak with the same time axis (time zero at the beginning of hyetograph) to facilitate applications of the Chicago method. The equations presented show cumulated rainfall depths resulting from exact integrals over chronological time of the original Chicago method’s rainfall intensity equations. That is, at every instant of time from the beginning of the hyetograph one has the exact value of cumulated rainfall. Thus, by decumulation, the sequential rainfall hyetograph depths are obtained. There is an advantage in using these equations which are easily introduced in spreadsheets.

title: Orthodontic-surgical treatment of a patient with Marfan Syndrome and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: a case report with a 9-year follow-up

description: ABSTRACT Marfan’s (MFS) syndrome is characterized by a defect in the connective tissue, which affects multiple organic systems. Therefore, the management of these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. This case reports the orthodontic-surgical treatment of a patient who presented both Marfan’s and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Patient had malocclusion, TMJ clicking, vertical maxillary excess, mandibular retrognathia, severe esthetic compromise, signs and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, as well as alterationsin joints, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. He was treated with bimaxillary surgery aimed to enhance esthetics, occlusion and address the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The clinical results show that a desirable functional occlusion was achieved and both patient’s facial esthetics and quality of life were significantly improved. After a 9-year follow-up period, these pleasing features were maintained. The diagnosis and management of Marfan’s patients is challenging and require multidisciplinary follow-up.

title: Digital smile designing, pressing and stratifying ceramic lithium disilicate veneers to rehabilitate dental agenesis: a clinical report

description: ABSTRACT This article had the objective of reporting a case of aesthetic rehabilitation with laminated facets from the 14 to the 24 teeth made with IPS E.max Ceram ceramics (Ivoclar-Vivadent), which replaced previous unsatisfactory composite resin restorations in the anterior region. The patient had agenesis of 12 and 22 teeth, making it necessary to anatomize the anterior teeth. A digital smile design was first virtually created and then followed by a diagnostic wax-up. The following was performed in a single day: periodontal surgery using the flapless technique to achieve prosthetic space; teeth preparation; an additionalsilicone impression; and multiple provisional restorations of bis-acryl composite resins were fabricated. Fourteen days later, in the second session the ceramic veneers were etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 20s; they received a silane application and a silane heat treatment, then lastly an ultrasonic bath. A universal adhesive was used in combination with a light curing cement.Cementation was performed immediately following an occlusal adjustment. The patient returned for a follow-up appointment another fourteen days after the luting process, in which a further occlusal adjustment was performed, and he reported complete satisfaction with the treatment.
