title: Women with long political careers in the Brazilian legislative branch (1950–2014)

description: Abstract This article analyzes the political trajectory of 62 women who, during 17 legislatures, exercised at least three terms, with at least one being in the position of federal representative, in order to answer the following question: what are the necessary requirements for women to have successful parliamentary careers in a country that places 151st among 187 countries reviewed in terms of women's participation in parliaments in 2017? The article is divided into two parts: the first part gives a general overview of the universe of women elected state and federal representatives between 1950 and 2014, a total of 653 deputies. The second part focuses on the 62 women who at least once reached the federal congress, the main focus of this study. The analysis of the trajectories of the 62 deputies showed that their long political careers follow the same traditional paths as their male peers, a finding that points to one of the main reasons for the scarce presence of women in Brazilian political life.

title: Stability and adaptability of curled green-leaf lettuce lines using the REML/Blup mixed model

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to estimate the stability and genotypic adaptability of advanced lines and cultivars of curled green-leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa), in different growing environments and seasons, using the REML/Blup mixed model. Ten genotypes, seven cropping environments, and two growing seasons were studied in 2015. Plant yield traits were evaluated, and data were subjected to the Selegen-REML/Blup software. Genotype stability and adaptability were analyzed using the harmonic mean of genotypic values (HMGV) and the relative performance of genotypic values (RPGV), respectively. The harmonic mean of RPGV (HMRPGV) was used to simultaneously estimate the stability, adaptability, and yield of breeding lines or cultivars. Considering the combined analysis of the two seasons for the set of traits, the lines L6, L7, and L8 were selected as promising ones and recommended for planting. The breeding lines selected for all season exhibit good yield and are considered superior to the commercial cultivars Vanda and Vera.

title: Theorical analysis to explain the slow acceptance of the recent residential vertical trends in San José, Costa Rica

description: Abstract This article aims to evaluate the emergence and evolution of the Costa Rican real estate market in order to unravel the context of the strong bond with the land and hence the slow acceptance of new residential vertical trends. The methodology consists of annual fieldworks between 2011 and 2017, a revision of some local antique urban photographs and a bibliographical review of Costa Rican, Brazilian and international Marxist authors, with the purpose of formulating a theoretical discussion to show how changes in the modes of production and the local economy strengthened the relationship between people and their land. A broad time frame is analyzed, from the colonial period until nowadays, in order to examine, how across the course of the evolution of the real estate market, the different forms of housing have adapted to preserve the strong attachment that the population has had for their land. Afterward, the issue of the recent emergence of luxury vertical buildings is addressed and a semantic analysis is done to examine the population´s response to the new residential proposal without access to open space. It is concluded the strong attachment to the land may be one of the main reasons for the slow acceptance of new vertical developments in Costa Rica, even though there might exist other factors.

title: The ethnomethodological analysis of tourism as an organizing practice in a waterfront of Northeast Brazil

description: Abstract This article aims to analyze the organizational processes of tourism as a practice in the João Pessoa/PB (Brazil) waterfront from an ethnomethodological point of view. The ethnomethodology was also the method used for empirical research. Indeed, there were visits to the waterfront, from which observations, informal conversations, field notes and interviews were made. Data were analyzed based on the theoretical framework as well as the guiding questions of the five key concepts of Garfinkilian ethnomethodology. As a result, there are several events that make up the tourism such as an expression of the waterfront. Tourism does not occur in isolation in different places, but imbricated and carries a series of relationships, symbols, values and social rules that are uttered through generations causing a given space can be considered touristic. Tourism becomes a central element in the organization of tourist space, i.e, it is that justifies and underpins the organizational processes carried out by social groups in warterfront. In conclusion, as field practices, the waterfront is a complex space due to its social, economic and environmental importance, where multiple interests and uses, guided by tourism, are daily present and demonstrate the complexity and importance of this space.

title: Problems of water buffalo breeding in Turkey and suggestions for its development

description: ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to present the current situation of water buffalo breeding in Turkey, determine the relevant problems, and propose suggestions for its improvement. The research data were collected at the “Focus Group Interviews” with the sector actors from the cities engaged in buffalo breeding between July and September of 2015. The cities included Afyonkarahisar, Bitlis, Diyarbakir, Istanbul, Muş, Samsun, and Tokat, where buffalo breeding was usually practiced by small-scale family enterprises that used traditional husbandry methods. The variables chosen as indicators of yield included milk yield, meat yield, and lactation period, which were found to be below global averages. The study revealed lack of adequate record-keeping of enterprises raising water buffalo. Buffalo breeders should take necessary steps to improve their strategies to increase buffalo milk yield, while government agencies should protect wetlands and prevent their unintended use, making relevant legal arrangements where necessary. Buffalo meat and milk should be promoted with an emphasis on their superior nutritional values. For the development of buffalo breeding in Turkey, necessary steps should be taken on both national and local levels.

title: Housing financing and socio-spatial segregation: “Minha Casa Minha Vida” in São José dos Campos, Taubaté and Jacareí/SP

description: Abstract This article discusses the post 1990’s process of internationalization of financial capital in Brazil, in the so-called neoliberal period, and public housing policy in the neodevelopmental phase, between 2002 and 2016, through the production of housing linked to the federal program “Minha Casa Minha Vida” (MCMV - My House My Life). The discussion was based on the understanding of how the market housing became a financial asset, a new frontier of gains for the capital market in urban space. We evidence the sophistication of the Housing Financial System created in 1997, and its distancing from the concept of the universalization of housing as a right. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the housing units produced in the cities of São José dos Campos, Taubaté and Jacareí, located in the Metropolitan Region of the Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte (RMVPLN) - SP, from 2009 to 2014, began to fulfill this market.

title: The roles of civil society as a protagonist in the process of promoting consumption sustainable: an analysis based on the perception of Brazilian experts

description: Abstract This article aims to analyze the roles of civil society to promote sustainable consumption in the Brazilian context. It is considered that the sustainable consumption promotion requires the action of civil society through an emancipatory process (SACHS, 2007), from the deepening of participatory democracy and broad exercise of citizenship (COSTA; TEODÓSIO, 2011; MICHELETTI; STOLLE, 2012). The sustainable consumption depends on structural changes associated with political, institutional and market factors, which requires the development of more collaborative proposals, in which civil society has starring roles alongside governments and businesses. Thus, in terms of methodological procedures, a survey was conducted with Brazilian experts in the subject, from the use of the Policy Delphi. The results demonstrate that the roles of civil society analyzed, only carrotmob, at the meso level, has not been verified as relevant. As for the other evaluated roles, only the buycott practice was rated as “very important”, at the micro level, while others were classified as “critically important” in the process of the sustainable consumption promotion in the Brazilian context.

title: Phytochemical analysis and botanical origin of Apis mellifera bee pollen from the municipality of Canavieiras, Bahia State, Brazil

description: Abstract An Apis mellifera bee pollen sample from Bahia state in Brazil was studied to evaluate its botanical origin and phytochemical composition. The bee pollen sample was collected in the municipality of Canavieiras, in an area with a very high predominance of Cocos nucifera L (Aracaceae), which was identified as the major taxon (99%), thus being the possible botanical origin of this pollen. The main constituents found in the non-polar extract analysed by GC-EI-MS were saturated fatty acids and long chain esters, together with phytosterols such as ergosta-5,24(28)-dien-3-ol, campesterol and sitosterol, detected in smaller quantities. Flavonoid glycosides, as well as hydroxycinnamic acid amide derivatives were detected in the polar extract analysed by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The presence of flavonoid glycosides, hydroxycinnamic acid amide derivatives, fatty acids and phytosterols have been reported in many bee pollen taxa. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study of the chemical composition of bee pollen from C. nucifera , which is cultivated for its coconut fruit.

title: Pereskia aculeata: biological analysis on wistar rats

description: Abstract Pereskia aculeata Mill., a species of the family Cactaceous, popularly known in Brazil as ora-pro-nobis, has high protein, vitamin and mineral contents. High essential amino acid concentrations should be underscored, suggesting a better evaluation of the fractions. Current study quantifies amino acid content and the chemical score (CS) of protein amino acids, determining in vivo digestibility, protein efficiency ratio (PER) and net protein ratio (NPR) of P. aculeata. Plant material was collected, washed, placed in an oven at 60 °C, ground and stored in a freezer for chemical analysis. Diets that maintain isoproteic and isocaloric characteristics were prepared for the bioassay, namely: casein (no protein) and Pereskia aculeata leaves-based flour. Eighteen male albino Wistar rats, divided into three experimental groups of 6 animals each, were used to evaluate protein quality and bioavailability of micronutrients. Pereskia aculeata flour provided as a single source is inadequate for growth, although it is relevant for maintaining protein metabolism indicated by net protein ratio (2.87). It is actually a good quality protein source due to few limiting essential amino acids, and it meets the diet requirements for humans.

title: Validation of the Falls Efficacy Scale – International in a sample of Portuguese elderly

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to translate and adapt Falls Efficacy Scale – International (FES-I). To analyze the psychometric properties of the FES-I Portugal version. Method: psychometric study. Sample consisting of 170 elderly people residing in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. A two- part form was used (sociodemographic characterization and FES-I Portugal). The cross-cultural adaptation was performed and the following psychometric properties were evaluated: validity (construct, predictive, and discriminant), reliability (Cronbach’s alpha), and inter-rater reliability. Results: the results allow us to verify a dimension of less demanding physical activities and another of more demanding physical activities. The inter-rater reliability study was 0.62, with an interclass correlation coefficient of 0.859, for a 95% confidence interval. The internal consistency of the Portuguese version was 0.962. Conclusion: the validity and reliability of the FES-I Portugal are consistent with the original version and proved to be appropriate instruments for evaluating the “impaired walking” and “risk of falls” nursing diagnoses in the older people.
