title: Disparities in colorectal cancer mortality across Brazilian States

description: ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze the trend of colorectal cancer mortality adjusted for selected indicators, according to sex, by Brazilian federative units and regions, and countrywide from 1996 to 2012. Methods: This is a temporal time series on colorectal cancer mortality rates, using linear regression analysis, in which the independent variable was the centered year. Models were adjusted for selected indicators. Results: There was an increase in standardized colorectal cancer mortality rates for males in all states and for females in 21 states. In the model adjusted for mortality rate from ill-defined causes, for gross domestic product, and for Gini coefficient, the upward trend remained statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05) countrywide only for men, with 0.17 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants per year (py). In the States of Piauí (0.09 and 0.20 py), Ceará (0.17 and 0.19 py) and Rio Grande do Sul (0.61 and 0.42 py), there was an increase for both men and women, respectively; only among men in the States of Paraíba (0.16 py), Espírito Santo (0.28 py), São Paulo (0.24 py) and Goiás (0.31 py); and among women in Roraima (0.41 py), Amapá (0.97 P/Y), Maranhão (0.10 py), Sergipe (0.46 P/Y), Mato Grosso do Sul (0.47 py), and the Federal District (0.69 py). Conclusion: The increase in colorectal cancer mortality remained significant when assessing Brazil as a whole only among men; in seven States among men, and in nine States among women, regardless of the studied indicators. These differences could be related to the possible increase in incidence and to late access to diagnosis and treatment.

title: Burden of tuberculosis trends in a Brazilian southern state

description: ABSTRACT: Introduction: The burden of tuberculosis has been scarcely explored in developing countries. Objective: To estimate the trend of the burden of tuberculosis in the state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, from 2007 to 2011. Methods: Epidemiological time-series study on tuberculosis notifications and deaths reported in the Disease Notification System and the Mortality Information System between 2007 and 2011. Crude rates of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) and subcomponents were calculated and standardized by gender and age groups. Segmented linear regression was used to estimate the trends for burden of tuberculosis during the study period. Results: There were 696 deaths and 8,598 notifications during the study period. The highest rate was found in 2009, with 91.8 DALY/100,000 inhabitants, and the lowest in 2007, with 67.2 DALY/100,000 inhabitants. The highest burden was among men in economically active age groups. The study showed a non-significant increase of 3.8% per year in DALY rates. Conclusion: The burden of tuberculosis remained stable in Santa Catarina, Brazil between 2007 and 2011.

title: IMPACT OF SEEDLING REMOVAL ON NATURAL REGENERATION IN THE SOUTHERN ATLANTIC FOREST REMNANT

description: ABSTRACT The use of a forest seedling bank has been recommended as an alternative to increase species richness in forest nurseries, as well as to produce seedlings of species that are diffi cult to propagate, especially those that belong to the late secondary and climax successional groups, which are not as commercially available. However, little is known about the impact of this method on forest dynamics. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the resilience and dynamics of a seedling bank in a remnant of a subtropical seasonal forest belonging to the Atlantic Forest Biome when subjected to different intensities of seedling removal. The experiment was conducted in a random block design in a factorial scheme (5 × 4), with treatments composed of fi ve intensities of removal of individuals from the seedling bank and the four seasons. The treatments were distributed into 18 blocks and the experimental units were composed of 1 m × 2.5 m plots. The resilience of the seedling community was assessed by examining effects of the fi ve removal intensities. The dynamics between the evaluation periods within each treatment were verifi ed by comparing the number of species and seedlings present before the treatments with those in the other evaluation periods. After one year, we found that tree-shrub vegetation had a partial capacity for restoration after withdrawal of individuals from the seedling bank. Our results show that the impact on the regeneration community can absorb the effects of up to 25% seedling removal. The technique of seedling transplantation may be recommended for species that have abundant regeneration, such as Actinostemon concolor, Eugenia rostrifolia, Trichilia claussenii and Nectandra megapotamica.

title: GERMINATION AND SEEDLINGS DEVELOPMENT OF THE THREATENED SPECIES Quillaja brasiliensis

description: ABSTRACT Brazil is a mega diverse country, but as consequence of habitat degradation several plant species are threatened. Quillaja brasiliensis is a rare and threatened tree species of the temperate forests of South America. We investigated protocols for germination, seedling growth and transplantation. We discuss some ecological matters that could affect the species’ establishment. We evaluated germination under a range of storage periods, temperature and light conditions, the effects of transplantation and the development of seedlings under two sowing methods. We found that seeds germinated rapidly and have a high germination rate. Temperature infl uenced germination vigour, and photoperiod infl uenced synchrony. There was increased and faster germination under controlled culture conditions. The high germination rate and rapid growth qualify Q. brasiliensis as a potential species for restoring degraded areas and enrichment programmes.

title: Dataset for: Applying fear appear theory to explain message framing in climate change communication: When are loss frames more effective?

description: This study investigated how three different goal frames (gain, non-loss, loss) either with or without efficacy statements affect climate change policy support. To address the framing literature’s difficulty establishing a theoretical framework with consistent findings, we propose the extended parallel process model of fear appeals as an alternative framework to explain goal framing. We then test several fear appeal mediators in a carefully-controlled experiment (<i>N</i> = 900) which avoids four common framing confounds possibly underlying the literature’s inconsistent findings. In line with fear appeal theory’s central tenet, a more-threatening loss frame paired with an efficacy statement produced stronger pro-policy attitudes and greater willingness to pay than (a) less-threatening gain or non-loss frames and (b) a loss frame lacking an efficacy statement. Policy support differences were mediated by five fear appeal variables (fear, threat, hope, collective efficacy, and message processing) in a pattern predicted by the extended parallel process model.<br>

title: Dataset for: Applying fear appeal theory to explain message framing in climate change communication: When are loss frames more effective?

description: This study investigated how goal frames (gain, non-loss, loss) either with or without efficacy statements affect climate change policy support. Addressing the framing literature’s difficulty establishing a guiding theory with consistent findings, we (1) propose fear appeal theory as an alternative framework to guide goal-framing research; (2) test five fear appeal variables (fear, perceived threat, hope, perceived efficacy, and message processing) as mediators of goal-framing effects on policy support; and (3) highlight four common goal-framing confounds that may partly underlie the literature’s inconsistent findings. Aligning with fear appeal theory, results from a carefully controlled experiment (<i>N</i> = 900) revealed that a more threatening loss frame paired with an efficacy statement produced stronger pro-policy attitudes and greater willingness-to-pay by successfully balancing fear/threat with hope/efficacy and by producing deeper message processing.

description: The diagnostic quality of calculated DCE parameter maps of patients with high-grade and low-grade gliomas was evaluated. Two different curve-fitting algorithms (Levenberg-Marquardt and Baysian) and two compartmental models (extended Toft and 2-compartment-exchange model) were tested. Two experienced neuroradiologists assessed the diagnostic quality with regard to (i) tumor-to-background discrimination, (ii) tumor-to-‘surrounding normal vessels’ discrimination, and (iii) overall impression. A 4-step-scale was used with 1 = not interpretable due to severe image degradation, 2 = considerable image artifacts limiting interpretation, 3 = good quality, and 4 = excellent quality. Here, you find a table with all scores.
