title: Concepts and technologies of the semantic Web for academic-scientific cooperation: A study within the Vivo platform

description: Abstract The organization and availability of information is fundamental to retrieve data at a later point in time. Within the academic context, students, researchers and managers have different needs regarding access to scientific productions. To address these needs, academic-scientific production is available on databases in different environments but they are not normally interoperable with one another. In this sense, the technologies and concepts of the Semantic Web present a new perspective regarding the association of information contained in these databases. The aim of the article is to discuss the concepts and technologies of the Semantic Web that contribute to the development of collaborative semantic networks and information organization and identify how semantic platforms behave during this task. Therefore, a Proof of Concept was carried out on the VIVO (Duraspace, Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America) platform in which tests and analyses were conducted using a set of scientific publications from Brazilian journals in the field of Information Science. The tests showed great adherence to Semantic Web technologies and organization of all the interactions between the system and the user, allowing the creation of other relations with the aid of languages for structured data retrieval. With the results obtained it was found that the Semantic Web can provide advances in several levels of the academic-scientific environment, particularly those related to the following topics: scientific cooperation, metric studies, and information organization.

title: Bioethical issues in publications about palliative care of the elderly: critical analysis

description: The present study aimed to identify existing studies of bioethics and palliative care among the elderly, and describes cases encountered with a publication date between 2002 and 2013. Publications in the PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Lilacs, SciELO and Ibecs databases were identified using the keywords “bioethics” AND “palliative care” AND “aged”. Following methodological selection, 16 articles were identified. There were few studies relating to bioethics and palliative care, confirming a lack of literature in this area. Therefore additional studies are required to increase understanding of this theme and the ethical knowledge of health professionals.

title: Social support and satisfaction of hypertensive patients with primary care: construction of a synthetic index

description: ABSTRACT The objective was to construct a synthetic index for Family Health Units that contemplates the perception of the satisfaction with the Primary Health Care (PHS) and the social support perceived by hypertensive patients. A Global Synthetic Index was constructed based on a weighted average of the variables that made up the user satisfaction dimension and those that made up the perceived social support with PHS. This index was applied in the hypertensive cohort developed for the municipality of João Pessoa (PB), for two Sanitary Districts, with the application of statistical tests. The axes related to the satisfaction of hypertensive users of PHS had a negative impact on the global synthetic index, while the axes related to social support had a relatively high score. Statistical tests showed that there was a significant difference (significance level of 5%) in the global synthetic indices among the Sanitary Districts of Health. The proposed index was presented as a practical, useful and effective tool, and managers and health professionals can benefit in the decision-making process with its use, in order to achieve better practices among the territories and in the evaluation of actions in the primary care for hypertensive care.

title: Socioeconomic Impacts of Forest Plantations in Niassa, Mozambique

description: Abstract The aim of this research was to assess the socioeconomic impacts of forest plantations in the householders’ livelihood in the Niassa province communities, northern Mozambique. Were conducted semi-structured interviews with 423 households in communities around the forest companies, forest plantation managers and the govern local senior members of the govern. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, considering the period before and after implementation of forestry companies. The results showed improvements in the livelihood of the householders, especially those who are employed in forestry companies. The presence of forestry companies reduced dependence and accessibility of families in relation to forest resources due to increasing distances from the sources of production.

title: CCS - CCS_SF_03 Mooring data May 2018 deployment EDGE System

description: This bio-acoustic data was collected between the 8th May 2018 and the 11th November 2018 at the proposed site for subsea CCS off Gippsland, Victoria using the EDGE system. Data summary. The WBAT system recorded data successfully for the duration of the deployment. Unfortunately the turret rotation mechanism failed after ~ 48 hours. EDGE System The EDGE system comprises a Simrad WBAT self contained echosounder connected to a Simrad ES70-7CD 70 kHz 7 degree transducer. The transducer is set atop a turret where a belt driven motor rotates the transducer through 360 degrees over a 20 minute period. A second rotation of 20 minuts occurs to take the transducer back to the starting postion. The rotation comprises steps of 7 degrees rotation where 20 pings are recorded at each step. The EDGE system was mounted to seafloor lander 2 (CCS_SF_03) and was deployed on the 8th of May 2018 in approximately 18m of water at site proposed for subsea CCS (38.15.3824S and 147.24.9715 E). Parameter | Value Transducer | ES70-7CD SN120 Transceiver | Simrad WBAT SN253667 Power (W) | 500 Pulse duration (ms) | 1.024 Mode | Continuous Wave Range (m) | 450 Ping rate (s) | 1.1 Pings per cycle | 2500 Duty cycle | Commence at 00:10 and 12:10 every day for 53 minutes This instrument has had a calibration of the WBAT echosounder/transducer combination at the CSIRO WharfSide Calibration Facility on the 19th of April 2018.

title: Cluster analysis and geochemical processes for the characterization of the aquifer system in Maracanã/São Luis/MA

description: ABSTRACT To better know the aquifer system in the Maracanã Environmental Protection Area were collected samples in four campaigns; the first during the drought season and the others in the following rainy one. The water samples were analised for eleven hydrochemical parameters, CE, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl-, SO42-, HCO3-, NO3-, Fe and P. Cluster analysis separated the wells in the area, identifing three different groups that exploit water with electrical conductivity in the ranges of 230 to 400 μS/cm, 87 to 210 μS/cm, and 22 to 64 μS/cm, respectively. Data show a predominance of sodium chlorinated water. With these results and identification of geochemical processes determined by changes in concentrations of Fe and P it was possible to develop a model that identifies the aquifer of the aquifer system exploited by each well.

title: Bought by Chance? Understand Why!

description: ABSTRACT This research has the aim of identifying previous variants to impulsivity at the time of buying and as well as to verify the relationship between the tendency to buy things by impulse and human values. To achieve this goal a survey was carried out through an orkut profile account, where the students were invited to take part in a survey answering to an on line questionnaire available. Five instruments were applied: 1) Scale of shopping activity; 2) scale of circulation in the stores 3) Scale of Basic Human Values; 4) Social-Demographic Questionnaire; and, 5) Questionnaire about consumption habits. 154 students have taken part in this survey. (77 men and 77 women) currently registered at Universidade Federal da Paraíba, between 18 to 25 years of age (average=21; DP=2). We have calculated the distribution of the social demographic frequencies and the spending habits amongst the participants; the Alfa of Cronbach to the facts of the scales; and the analyze multiple linear regression to each block of questions as dependent variant (DV) having the impulsivity as the independent variant (IV); The variants which have showed predicted power to impulse shopping were the values of “Pleasure” and “Personal Stability”, the value System “Existence”, the circulation in the stores, the frequent usage of credit cards on shoppings, the hobby of going to shopping mall, and social-demographic variant such as sex, age and family’s wage.

title: Mitochondrial activity disruption and local muscle damage induced in mice by Scolopendra polymorpha venom

description: Abstract Background: Scolopendra polymorpha (S. polymorpha) is a predatory centipede whose venom contains a multiplicity of biochemical effectors that can cause muscle damage and cumulative cell destruction in its prey. Despite previous investigations of S. polymorpha and other centipede venoms, there is a lack of information on the morphological and biochemical patterns elicited by their myotoxic effects. To elucidate these processes, this paper presents evidence of skeletal muscle damage, and alterations in key biochemical mediators that appear only after exposure to centipede venom. Methods: Venom was collected and fractionated using RP-HPLC; mouse extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle was exposed to whole venom and venom fractions to evaluate myotoxicity by means of creatine kinase (CK) - a muscle damage marker - activity measurements and histochemical analysis. Results: CK activity was higher in EDL muscle exposed to venom than in unexposed muscle. This increase was observed after 15 min of venom incubation, and remained stable up to 45 min. Venom-exposed EDL muscle showed signs of muscle damage including necrosis, loss of fascicular structure as well as mitochondrial accumulations and ragged red fibers (RRF), suggesting an impairment in the normal mitochondrial arrangement. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and cytochrome oxidase (COX) tests also indicate that respiratory complexes might be affected. Conclusion: Our results suggest a different biochemical composition of S. polymorpha venom, based on the different effects of four venom fractions on the cells tested, according to statistical evidence. Fractions F6 and F7 caused the most important alterations.

title: Treatment procedures for stable waste and reduction or elimination of infective eggs and larvae of the genus Strongylus spp.

description: The objective of this study was to characterize the processes of composting stable waste and to evaluate the efficiency in the reduction or elimination of infective eggs and larvae of Strongylus spp. The composting treatments were: open, without rotation, in a smaller volume (CASRm) and larger volume (CASRM); open, with rotation, in a smaller volume (CAm) and a larger volume (CAM), and anaerobic in biodigester (CF), in three replicates. The monitored parameters were temperature, moisture and presence of parasites in the beginning and at the end of the experimental period. Temperature at the center of CAM and CASRM reached ita peak on the first day, of approximately 60ºC, being higher than 50ºC only in the first three days. In the other treatments, the maximum temperature was around 30ºC. Before treatments were applied, it was possible to observe high levels of contamination by larvae of Strongylus spp. (with 25.3 larvae per gram). The reduction of infective third stage larvae in the compost at the end of the experiment was of 97% (CAM), 87% (CAm), 90% (CASRM), 100% (CF), and 26% for the CASRm treatment. On the outside it was not possible to detect the presence of the parasite. The humidity outside the compound at the end of the experiment was of approximately 17 to 30%, and internally, of 40 to 60%. Helminth eggs remained viable even after the composting process and heaingt treatment. The results indicate that the mere provision of stable waste without the proper handling and in small volumes does not lead to the total elimination of eggs and infective larvae of Strongylus spp.
