title: Classic service styles in commercial catering: proposal for standardiza-tion and clarifications for future research

description: Abstract This study aims to summarize the scientific knowledge and the empirical knowledge of the authors of this article about the four main types/styles of individual service in full-service food establishments. In addition, as secondary objectives, it seeks to simplify and standardize the types of classic services in restaurants. These objectives were met through a positivist methodological approach. The research techniques used were the comparative analysis and a summary of the state of the art on the typology of classical services combine to the empirical knowledge of the authors. Subsequently, the validation of the proposal for standardization was made by a panel of evaluators. We came to simplify the services into three basic categories: French Service; Direct English Service and Plate Service. The study herein presented is of an exploratory nature and, thus further scientific studies should be conducted in order to deepen the knowledge on the topic. Particularly, there is lack of research on the mise en place.

title: Dentoskeletal and aesthetic effects of mandibular protraction appliance (MPA) using Ricketts analysis

description: Abstract Objective This study was designed to evaluate the skeletal, dental and soft tissue effects of mandibular deficiency treatment with the mandibular protraction appliance (MPA) using 12 factors of the Ricketts analysis. Material and method This cross-sectional retrospective study sample consisted of a group (n = 27), with Class II malocclusion, convex facial profile, increased horizontal trespass and mandibular deficiency, with initial mean age of 12.27 and final of 15.18 years, treated with fixed appliance combined with the MPA, in an average time of 2.9 years. Initial and final radiographs were investigated using Ricketts analysis. The dependent t-test was used to compare the initial and final phases of the MPA group, with a significance level of 5%. Result Statistically significant differences were observed for dental changes such as retrusion (p=0.000) and palatal inclination of the maxillary incisors (p=0.000); protrusion (p=0.000) and buccal inclination of the mandibular incisors (p=0.000); increased interincisal angle (p=0.002) and improved molar ratio (p=0.003). There was also a restriction of the anterior displacement of the maxilla (p=0.000) and a decrease in the mandibular plane angle (p=0.024). The variable inferior labial protrusion with significance (p=0.000), reiterated the improvement in the profile. Conclusion The effects of MPA on correction of malocclusion Class II, verified by Ricketts analysis occurred predominantly by dentoalveolar changes, decrease in the Mandibular Plane Angle, and restriction of anterior displacement of the maxilla, which contributed to the improvement in the patient's profile.

title: Rapid response of hypercortisolism to vandetanib treatment in a patient with advanced medullary thyroid cancer and ectopic Cushing syndrome

description: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) may rarely present with paraneoplastic syndromes. Among the most frequent ones are the appearance of diarrhea and ectopic Cushing syndrome (ECS). The ECS in the context of MTC is usually present in patients with distant metastatic disease. The use of drugs such as ketoconazole, metyrapone, somatostatin analogs and etomidate have been ineffective alternatives to control hypercortisolism in these patients. Bilateral adrenalectomy is often required to manage this situation. Recently, the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has been shown to be a useful tool to achieve eucortisolism in patients with metastatic MTC and ECS. We present a patient with sporadic advanced persistent and progressive MTC with lymph node and liver metastases, which after 16 years of follow-up developed an ECS. After one month of 300 mg/day vandetanib treatment, a biochemical and clinical response of the ECS was achieved but it did not result in significant reduction of tumor burden. However the patient reached criteria for stable disease according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST 1.1) after 8 months of follow-up.

title: Sedimentary architecture and depositional evolution of the Quaternary coastal plain of Maricá, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

description: The coastal geomorphology of Maricá (Rio de Janeiro state) is characterized by a large lagoon and by two sandy barriers that confine a series of small isolated chain-like lagoons. Data collected from ground-penetrating radar and boreholes from the central coastal plain of Maricá provided information on the sedimentary architecture and evolution of this area in the Quaternary. Six lithological units were identified comprising three depositional sequences limited by erosional surfaces, related to barrier-lagoon systems that migrated onshore, offshore, and longshore, giving rise to a sedimentary deposit 25 m thick or more. The data reveal a retrograding barrier overlying a basal mud unit which rests in unconformity upon Precambrian basement, thus characterizing an important Pleistocene transgression. A second Pleistocene barrier of 45,000 cal years BP migrated over a lagoonal mud unit (48,000-45,000 cal years BP) reaching over the previous barrier. A progradational phase followed due to a fall of sea level. A long interval of erosion of the barrier created an unconformity that represents the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. A beachrock in nearby Itaipuaçu, 100 m offshore from the present-day beach, dated as 8,500 cal years BP marks the onset of Holocene sedimentation due to gradually rising sea level, which continued until at about 5,000 years ago. This promoted the retrogradation of the barrier-lagoon system. A brief episode of progradation is observed as a series of paleobeach scarps. Today's rising sea level is causing the retrogradation of the barrier.

title: Prevalence of respiratory signs and symptoms in a population living nearby a cement factory, Cezarina, Goiás, 2011

description: Introduction: During the process of cement manufacture have emissions of various pollutants known to have toxic effects in humans. The study of respiratory symptoms and signs an important means of knowing the possible effects of pollution on populations living near cement plants.Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological study population-based conducted in Cezarina, Goiás. The sample was randomly selected by cluster sampling. The instrument used was based on questionnaire British Medical Research Council for research into respiratory signs and symptoms. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0.Results:The sample was composed, mostly, of women (60.9%; p&lt;0.001). The cement plant was the site of work cited by 11.1%. The prevalence of chronic cough was 23.1% (p&lt;0.001), sputum 22.8% (p&lt;0.001), shortness of breath 29.3% (p&lt;0.001) and wheezing 17.9% (p=0.014). Smoking was reported by 16.6%.Conclusion: The respiratory signs and symptoms were not associated with the location and length of residence in the city. Smoking showed correlation with all respiratory symptoms studied and it was more prevalent among men.

title: Hospital morbidity due to diseases associated with air pollution in the city of Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro: cases and economic cost

description: This work aimed to estimate the cases of hospitalar internment for selected respiratory diseases associated to the levels of atmospheric pollution in the city of Volta Redonda (RJ), in the period from 2005 to 2007. A function of regression of Poisson was estimated from the daily data on the Hospitalar Internment Authorization (HIA) made available by DATASUS (dependent variable), daily levels of pollutants found in the atmosphere collected by the State Environment Institute (SEI) and control variables. As the main result it is emphasized that among the 5,235 internments, by the evaluated control group, 6% (317 cases) are associated to the pollutants levels found in the atmosphere. The economic cost generated by these diseases, captured by the Methods of the Avoided Costs, was R$ 170,711.83. It was concluded that the existence of pollutant substances in the atmosphere contributes respiratory diseases in the population taking to well-being and economic losses besides elevating the expenses of the Health Unique System (HUS) with the treatment and recuperation of the patients' health condition. In this context, the adoption of public politics that come to reduce/eliminate the levels of pollution in the atmosphere and, consequently, the generated economic damages and discomforts becomes indispensable.

title: Stratigraphy and structure of Cerro Jarau: new proposal

description: The Cerro do Jarau structure is located near the town of Quaraí, in the Rio Grande do Sul state, close to the international boundary with Uruguay. This circular feature has a diameter with approximately 8 km, presents some evidence of an origin by a meteoritic impact. It is located in the Paraná Basin and characterized by a central area with occurrence of sandstone surrounded by basalts of Serra Geral Formation. Previous works considered the structure as a dome-shaped feature. The objective of this paper is to present new data on the stratigraphy and structure of the Cerro Jarau, showing that the sandstones are structurally and stratigraphically overlying the basalts and both units exhibit centripetal dips. The structure of Cerro Jarau is therefore a basin-like feature and not a dome as admitted in previous studies.

title: Verification of the stationarity of flow series in the Iguaçu River basin

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this technical note is to verify the stationarity of flows in the Iguaçu River Basin, considering 14 fluviometric stations. For this purpose, three sets of annual flow series were studied: mean flows, maximum flows and minimum flows of 7 days. Initially, the exploratory analysis of the data was performed, based on the establishment of two points of change of the characteristics of the flows and the accomplishment of statistical tests of equality of mean and variance, parametric and nonparametric. Finally, composite tests were used considering the basin divided into Upper and Lower Iguaçu. In the exploratory analysis of the data, it was concluded that there was apparently a change in the trend of flow rates, part in the 1970s, part in the 1980s. Therefore, the series were divided in two different ways, at the half and at the point suggested in the exploratory analysis. Regarding the statistical tests, the Mann-Whitney test was chosen because it did not depend on the underlying distribution of the flow series, and because the test was highly recommended by other authors. It was concluded that the flow change occurred in a relatively short interval of time, and could be treated as a non-stationarity per hop. In general, the most recent change was downstream of the Uniao da Vitória fluviometric station. A change in the behavior of the mean and maximum flows was evident, however, such phenomenon was not observed in the evaluation of the minimum flows.

title: Sedimentary provenance in the southern sector of the São Francisco Basin, SE Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: We present new Sm-Nd, U-Pb and Hf isotope geochronological data for the siliciclastic rocks in the southern sector of the São Francisco Basin. An abrupt change in the Sm-Nd data is observed from the Carrancas Formation’s oligomitic conglomerates (TDM ages between 2.7 and 3.3 Ga; εNd(550 Ma) values between -25.09 and -17.98), its finer facies, and the finer facies of the the Moema Laminite (TDM ages from 1.4 to 2.1 Ga; εNd(550 Ma) values between -9.46 and -5.59). No further significant changes in the Sm-Nd data occur farther upwards in the Bambuí Group (Sm-Nd TDM ages within the 1.3-2.0 Ga interval; εNd(550 Ma) values from -9.53 to -4.09), showing a lack of reorganization in the source areas throughout the deposition of the basin. This is yet another argument to dismiss an unconformity within the Bambuí Group. The presence of the index fossil Cloudina sp. in the lower Sete Lagoas Formation makes the glaciation probably Late Ediacaran in age. U-Pb ages for detrital zircons of the Bambuí Group range from the Archean to the early Ediacaran, but the current data is insufficient to distinguish between the contribution from sources in the Brasília and Araçuaí belts.

title: The role of airborne geophysics in the investigation of gold occurrences in the Itapetim Region, Borborema Province, Northeast Brazil

description: Abstract We present a combined analysis of airborne geophysical data (magnetics and gamma-ray spectrometry) and field aspects of Itapetim lode gold district region, aiming to identify structurally deformed and hydrothermally altered zones, which are suggestive of gold mineralized sectors. The main geophysical lineaments are oriented in the NE-SW and E-W directions and display a clear correlation with the major gold-bearing structures in the region. In the magnetic maps, the key pathfinder for gold occurrences is their association with strongly magnetized areas positioned along the Itapetim Shear Zone and outer contour of Teixeira Batholith. In the field, such structures are materialized in protomylonitic and mylonitic rocks that present evidence of ductile and brittle deformation, whereas kinematic criteria are suggestive of a transpressional tectonic regime. In addition, the main radiometric pattern is characterized by K enrichment, which is correlated with a hydrothermal mineral assemblage dominated by quartz, potassium feldspar, and tourmaline. Based on the obtained data integration, we produced an integrative map and located ten new target areas of possible gold mineralization, which is correlative to other well-known lode deposits in Northeast Brazil and Africa.

title: SEDIMENTOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND DATING OF POST-BARREIRAS SEDIMENTS FROM REGION THE COASTLINE

description: Abstract Although there is some work from the 80s, little is known about the origin and mechanisms of these sediment deposits Post-Barreiras. The aim of this work was to analyze the sedimentological parameters, particle size and morphology of grains of sand and dating of sedments. samples Post-Barreiras and beach sediments were collected, which were subjected to dispersion of clay and silt, using NaOH 0,1 mol L-1; the sand fraction was separated at intervals of 1/2 phi [Φ]. The morphology of the grain was analyzed through optical microscope. We used the dating of three samples by the method of Optically Stimulated Luminescence. Results indicate that the Post-Barreiras sediments they were deposited at high energy environment, presumably by a higher contribution of marine processes with possible aeolian reworkings. Beach front sediments showed characteristics of aeolian deposition. The dates determined that the deposition of Post-Barreiras sediments was from the late Pleistocene to Holocene epoch (from 6,950 to 85,350ka). The altitudinal position of Post-Barreiras sediments (40-150m) cannot be associated to any known sea elevation level, which then emerges the hypothesis of neotectonic processes promoting elevation.
