title: Brazilian version of the Critical Care Functional Rehabilitation Outcome Measure: translation, cross-cultural adaptation and evaluation of clinimetric properties

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To translate, crossculturally adapt and evaluate the clinimetric properties of the Critical Care Functional Rehabilitation Outcome Measure for evaluating the functionality of patients admitted to intensive care units in Brazil. Methods: The process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation involved the following steps: initial translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert committee review and pretesting. The intra- and interrater reliability and agreement were analyzed between two physical therapists who evaluated the same group of patients (n = 35). The evaluations were performed by each therapist independently and blinded to the score assigned by the other professional. The qualitative analysis was performed by the review committee, and the experts adapted and synthesized the Portuguese translation of the Critical Care Functional Rehabilitation Outcome Measure. Results: There was agreement between the initial Brazilian translations of the Critical Care Functional Rehabilitation Outcome Measure scale. The conceptual, idiomatic, semantic and experimental equivalences between the original and translated versions were assessed, resulting in the final Brazilian version of the scale, called the Medida de Resultado da Reabilitação Funcional em Cuidados Intensivos. The evaluation of the clinimetric properties showed evidence of a high degree of agreement and reliability, as all had an intraclass correlation coefficient above 0.75. The overall intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.89. Conclusion: The translated version of the Critical Care Functional Rehabilitation Outcome Measure scale for assessing the functionality of patients admitted to an intensive care unit can be used reliably in Brazil following translation and cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese and presents evidence of excellent interrater reliability.

title: Groundwater resources for agricultural purposes in the Brazilian semi-arid region

description: ABSTRACT Exploitation of groundwater resources with no proper characterization of water reserves jeopardizes the quantity and quality of water available in the future. A major challenge is finding appropriate methods or coefficients to evaluate the carrying capacity of the aquifer. The objective of this study was to quantitatively and qualitatively characterize water reserves to provide information and management strategies for the rational use of available water resources in an alluvial aquifer in the Brazilian Northeastern semi-arid region. Shallow and medium-depth wells were analyzed. Water tables were monitored in the dry and wet seasons to calculate water reserves. Groundwater samples were collected for the determination of water quality for irrigation purposes. The increase in agricultural activities is jeopardizing the sustainability of the aquifer’s water, as reserves are not sufficient to meet this demand. Groundwater quality is not limiting for agricultural use. Converting surface irrigation into localized methods will potentially increase water productivity and consequently the irrigated area. This study provides data and makes it possible to recommend appropriate strategies for the exploitation of groundwater resources for the maintenance of agricultural activities under semi-arid conditions, and to avoid overexploitation.

title: Institutional models of Public-Private Partnerships: social housing in Brazil and the United States

description: Abstract This article analyzes the role played by institutions in the advance of Public-Private Partnerships in “vertical” concessions of social housing. This qualitative study identifies and compares the institutional models of Brazil and the United States to determine their specificities in different contexts. Furthermore, it presents the case study of the PPP “Casa Paulista”, the first experience of the kind in the context of social housing in Brazil. From the analysis of the PPP’s life cycle, we learned how the institutional dynamics impacted the structuring of the project and identified the possible consequences of the adoption of this instrument for the housing policy. The results indicate that, although we identified an institutional orientation to promote the model, a greater standardization is needed to consolidate it.

title: Long-term deformation assessment of a long-span concrete bridge built by the cantilever erection method

description: Abstract The balanced cast-in-place cantilever erection method has become a popular construction bridge technique. The main advantages include an industrialized erection technique that prevents the use of intermediate supports and rapid construction. However, the long-term response of this bridge typology is not well understood as long-term deflections due to time-dependent phenomena (such as creep and shrinkage) are significantly simplified in bridge design codes. Existing prediction models commonly used in design tend to underestimate long-term deflections, and as a result, field measurements conducted in newly constructed bridges still report excessive long-term deflections. This paper shows the long-term deflection analysis of a long-span concrete bridge located in Colombia and opened to traffic in 2014. This study is conducted using field data collected within a one-year time interval and modelling results. Further comparisons using field data collected from bridges with similar structural configurations, but opened to traffic in the 90s and 2000s, show that the bridge's current situation is categorized as a major concern.

title: Seed pathology of non-domesticated species of tropical ecosystems

description: Abstract: Seed pathology is an area of study that began in the last century and has been developing since then, with increasing contribution especially to agricultural production systems. However, in the environmental area, studies began much later, but showed equal importance, especially for plant restoration and germplasm conservation programs. In this review, information about the knowledge on the pathology of seeds of non-domesticated species from tropical ecosystems is presented and the benefits and gaps of these studies are discussed.

title: STATE AND AGRARIAN FRONTIER: EXTERNAL CAUSES OF DEATH IN SOUTH-CENTRAL BRAZIL AND IN THE RECÔNCAVO BAIANO (1820-1870)

description: ABSTRACT: This paper addresses the impact of external causes of death among adult men (free and enslaved), comparing municipalities and parishes in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, and the Recôncavo Baiano, between ca. 1820 and ca. 1870. It briefly summarizes the historiography that emphasizes structural phenomena and related aspects, according to its spatial distribution and conjunctures of the period. Periods of greater political instability were also periods of enormous incidence of interpersonal violence. Similarly, the incidence of external causes was far greater in the agrarian frontier when compared with areas where the State was more active. The data respond satisfactorily to expectations created around the state-building model.

title: Agrotechnological characteristics of sugarcane cultivars irrigated with salinized water

description: ABSTRACT With the expansion of sugarcane cultivation in the semiarid region of Brazil, there is a constant risk of soil salinization because of the edaphoclimatic peculiarities of the region, requiring studies to identify genotypes tolerant to salt stress. This study evaluated the agrotechnological characteristics of sugarcane cultivars irrigated with salinized water. This study was performed in the experimental area of the Academic Unit of Agricultural Engineering of the Federal University of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. The treatments consisted of a combination of two sugarcane cultivars (SP 81 3250 and RB 92 579) and five levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (0.6, 1.6, 2.6, 3.6, and 4.6 dS m-1). A randomized block design was used in a 2 × 5 factorial scheme with four replicates, totaling 40 experimental units. The sugarcane cultivar SP 81 3250 under irrigation with saline water of 0.6, 1.6, and 2.6 dS m-1 promoted a greater number of leaves in relation to RB 92 579, 125 days after planting. The salinity of the irrigation water varying from 0.6 to 4.6 dS m-1 reduces the culm height and culm mass per clump of the sugarcane, regardless of the cultivar. The sugarcane cultivar RB 92 579 had the highest culm height, number of tillers, culm mass per clump, percentage of apparent sugars, soluble solids, polarized sucrose, and total recoverable sugars, whereas SP 81 3250 had the highest percentage of water-insoluble matter contained in the cane, regardless of water salinity.

title: Impact of sprayer drone flight height on droplet spectrum in mountainous coffee plantation

description: ABSTRACT Weather conditions and sprayer operating parameters influence spray quality. Unmanned aerial vehicles are considered a modern, useful, and very efficient technological tool in the application of pesticides, as they carry out punctual spraying, and reduce environmental and public health problems. The objective of this study was to characterize the spraying quality carried out with an unmanned aerial vehicle as a function of flight height and target position in a coffee plantation in a mountainous region. Three flight heights (2.5, 3.0, and 4.0 m) were used, and the targets were placed at the top and bottom of the plant. For each plant, six water sensitive papers were placed on top of the plant and six were placed at the bottom. CIR 1.5 software was applied to determine the coverage percentage, drop density, volume median diameter, volumetric diameter corresponding to 10 and 90%, numerical median diameter, and relative amplitude. The results showed that the flight height only influenced the parameters of the volumetric diameter corresponding to 10% of the volume, numerical median diameter, and coverage percentage. The target position on the canopy influenced all the evaluated spraying parameters. In mountainous coffee plantations, the spraying system using unmanned aerial vehicle spraying is more efficient for the lower part of the plant.

title: A Techno-Discursive Analysis of Manifestations Surrounding Diego Maradona’s Death: Methodologies for Delimiting Discursive Regions on Twitter

description: ABSTRACT In this article, we propose strategies for capturing polemical regions in a corpus of posts from Twitter, setting out from a theoretical framework that emphasises a dialogic perspective. Based on these strategies, we provide entry points for analysing the materiality of the techno-discursive universe that circulates in digital environments. By producing this research corpus, we acquired a clearer understanding of elements that compose discursive images surrounding Diego Maradona in circulation on Twitter following the player’s death. Towards this aim, we formulated and critically considered techniques for extracting and producing a digital research corpus by delimiting a discursive space on Twitter surrounding Maradona’s death. The results obtained pertain to the conditions for use of these platforms by discourse analysts, the cartography of the regions configured in this space and the clashes that become consolidated within them.
