title: Encouraging the use of scientific evidence in decision making

description: A major challenge for health systems is to promote the use of scientific evidence supporting public policies that seek to improve efficiency and the health of the population. The objective of this study was to identify and discuss strategies to encourage the use of scientific evidence in the process of health decision making. The search was performed in the repositories of the Virtual Health Library, Health Systems Evidence and PubMed. SUPPORT (Supporting Policy Relevant Reviews and Trials) Tools were used for the preparation of this overview. Seven systematic reviews were used to identify options to stimulate the use of evidence for decision making: 1) Produce policy briefings with adapted language for different audiences; 2) Stimulate the use of journalism and other forms of mass communication for dissemination of scientific knowledge; 3) Implement online platforms for dissemination of scientific knowledge, and; 4) Promote the dialogue between researchers and policy makers. Strategies to encourage the use of scientific evidence in health decision making can be implemented in a synergistic way; however, it is important to assess the local context and the implications of each strategy for the health system as a whole.

title: Increased power efficiency in mining by using high-fidelity haul truck simulation

description: Abstract The current economic and political scenario in Brazil has allowed small, medium and large companies to adopt cost cutdown and productivity increase strategies. Diesel fuel consumption by off-highway haul trucks stands for one of the largest costs at the Sossego Mine operational management department. Based on this fact, as well as on the 8% increase in the budgeted diesel fuel cost for 2017, the mining unit has decided to implement a project, previously implemented at the Capão Xavier mine site, which makes use of a high-fidelity haul truck simulator for operators' qualification, by working on the major factors impacting fuel consumption. The application of the simulator has been observed to be a potential upturn for the identification and correction of major failures and bad habits impacting fuel consumption. The results suggest a significant diesel fuel consumption cutdown, as well as enhanced haul truck operation ability and performance.

title: New Contours of the Native Vegetation Protection Law of 2012

description: ABSTRACT The conservation of natural resources within rural properties is a constitutional obligation. Among the social function criteria required for the exploitation of rural properties, besides the rational use and respect of working conditions, there is a need to ensure environmental protection. The current guidelines regarding the exploration and the environmental adequacy of the rural property are in the Native Vegetation Protection Law (NVPL - Law no. 12,651/2012) also known as Forest Code of 2012. This study aims to analyze different aspects of the Brazilian forestry legislation, with emphasis on the main points of the new legislation regarding the use and conservation of rural properties, highlighting the Rural Environmental Registry replacing the old model of Legal Reserve Registration. It is an update of the article “Ambient protection areas inside rural properties: the APP and RL case” published by Floram in 2011.

title: Evaluation of the fluoride release and ability to recharge in different glass ionomer cements

description: Objective To evaluated the ability to fluoride release and recharge in the different glass ionomer cements during simulation of cariogenic challenge. Material and method Twelve samples were made for each experimental group: conventional glass ionomer cements, Maxxion R (FGM), Ketac Molar EasyMix (3M ESPE); resin modified glass ionomer cement, Vitrebond (3M ESPE); and composite resin Filtek™ Z350XT (3M ESPE), negative control. The samples were immersed alternately in pH cycling method, remaining 6 hours in demineralization solution and 18 hours in remineralization solution and maintained at 37 °C. Fluoride release was measured 1, 2, 7, and 14 days before and after recharging with specific electrode coupled to the analyzer apparatus pH/fluoride, each measurement with calibrated solutions of sodium fluoride to 1 and 10 ppm, prepared with TISAB II. For reading was added 0.5 mL of sample to an equal volume of TISAB II. Recharging was made with neutral sodium fluoride to 2% for 4 minutes in the samples, washed and again immersed pH cycling solutions. Data were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test (α = 0.05). Result The initial fluoride release (μgF/cm2) was 45.36 ; 37.49 and 26.35 for Maxxion R, Vitrebond and Ketac Molar EasyMix, respectively. Significant differences between the materials before and after recharging were observed (p=0.001). After topical application of fluoride, both showed ability to recharge. Conclusion The glass ionomer cements evaluated were capable of releasing fluoride in pH cycling solutions and may recharge through of a topical application.

title: Photocatalytic degradation of ferricyanide as synthetic gold mining wastewater using TiO2 assisted by H2O2

description: Abstract Ferricyanide Fe(CN) 6 3- is one of the most stable cyanometallic complexes present in the gold mining effluents. This cyanocomplex is hard to degrade by natural attenuation and generates a negative impact on aquatic environments. Although free cyanide (CN-) can be obtained by acidifying the solution, the CN- is lethal for all forms of life. The oxidation of Fe(CN) 6 3- in a typical photocatalitic system was evaluated with the addition of H2O2. To verify the degradation, chemical parameters, such as free cyanide, the formation of ammonia, nitrate, and total iron were analyzed at the end of the process. Different parameters were evaluated to analyze the behavior of the degradation: 1. dark stage adsorption using the catalyst, 2. the TiO2 dosage, 3. Addition of H2O2, 4. UV radiation power (120 and 200W) and finally a test of TiO2 with solar radiation. The photolysis effect from a ferricyanide solution at 100 mg L-1 at alkaline pH 13, showed that the complex studied is highly stable since under UV irradiation conditions (l&gt; 300 nm), a low rate of dissociation was observed. After 24h of irradiation, the cyanocomplex was under 20%, whereas degradations up to 70% were obtained in a heterogeneous photocatalysis system with TiO2. The best result was achieved with the H2O2 and TiO2 photocatalytic system, and the stoichiometric concentration was about 2.5 times less than the peroxide used in the gold mining industry, reaching 83% degradation. The photocatalytic process obtained less toxic byproducts than the original synthetic ferricyanide used as mining wastewater.

title: QUALITY, ANTIOXIDANT AND ENZYMATIC ACTIVITIES OF FACHEIRO (Pilosocereus pachycladus RITTER) FRUITS DURING MATURATION

description: ABSTRACT The fruit of Cactaceas from northeastern Brazil have been the object of many ethnobotanical and functional quality studies. However, a considerable number of species remain poorly exploited, such as the facheiro (Pilosocereus pachycladus Ritter), a native Brazilian plant widely occurring and used in the Caatinga. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the quality, and antioxidant and enzymatic activities of the facheiro fruit during maturation. Fruits were harvested from areas of occurrence of plants in the Paraíba State, Brazil, at three maturity stages, which were determined based on the color of the epicarp (G - green, IP - green with purple traces, and R - completely purple). It was carried out a survey of terms sensorial descriptor terms for fruit appearance and then evaluated the physical, physicochemical, bioactive compounds, antioxidant and peroxidase (POD) activities during maturation. The fruit were described as fleshy berries, with a smooth epicarp; a round, flat shape; opaque purple color; and juicy and soft pulp when ripe. Quality varied during maturation, with the most significant changes being in coloration: the fruit became more purple over time, providing a clear indicator of maturity. With maturation, there was an increase in the content of betalains and total extractable polyphenols, as well as antioxidant activity, by DPPH radical capture method, mainly in the pulp. The pulp of the Pilosocereus pachycladus fruit is an important source of betalains, primarily betacyanins. During maturation, POD activity decreased in the pericarp and increased in the pulp and was strongly correlated with the presence of betalains and with antioxidant activity.

title: Family risk as adjunct for organizing the demand for oral health service in the Family Health Strategy

description: Introduction One of the main problems of the public health services, in which the family oral health team is included, is access by users to dental treatment in primary care, with particular reference to caries disease. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between family risk, for prioritization of home visits and oral health conditions, with a view to providing evidence about the first indicator for organizing the demand for oral health in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). Method The application of family health is based on Form A of the primary care information database SIAB ("Sistema de Informação de Atenção Básica"), used for registering families with the FHS. Eleven dentists examined the oral health conditions of 1165 persons (608 from 12 to 19 years; and 557 from 35 to 44 years of age), classifying them into six codes from A to F. Multinomial logistic regression was used (α=0.05) to analyze the association between family risk variables and oral health situation. Result There was significant association between family risk and presence of caries disease with treatment needs (OR: 2.08, p&lt;0.0001). Conclusion Persons who have family risk would have twice as much chance of presenting caries disease in comparison with those without risk, corroborating the relevance of this element in organizing the demand for oral health.

title: OCCURRENCE OF FILARID PARASITES IN HOUSEHOLD AND SHELTERED DOGS IN THE CITY OF JOINVILLE – SANTA CATARINA, BRAZIL

description: Abstract Parasites from the Filariidae family are among the nematodes that can infest dogs. Some may be apathogenic, such as Acanthocheilonema reconditum, and others such as Dirofilaria immitis are potentially zoonotic and may lead dogs to death. Thus, the aim of this study was to perform a survey on filarid infection in dogs with a fixed domicile and wandering dogs temporarily sheltered in the city of Joinville, SC, Brazil. Blood samples from 429 animals were collected from 2015 to 2017 and submitted to screening for microfilariae and/or D. immitis antigens. Our results revealed that twenty-four samples (5.6%) displayed A. reconditum microfilariae and three samples (0.7%) were positive for D. immitis, totaling 27 (6.3%) positive animals for filarid parasites. Additionally, A. reconditum was more prevalent in dogs from shelters, whereas the three D. immitis positive samples were from household dogs that displayed no clinical signs of the presence of parasites. The occurrence of these parasites in dogs from Joinville indicates the importance of differential diagnosis of microfilaria species for the correct clinical management of infected dogs. Our epidemiological information may help the medical and veterinary community of the region regarding clinical suspicion of canine and human heartworm disease, as well as guide preventive actions targeting public and animal health.

title: Participatory processes for preparation of Urban Plans and Zoning: recent experiences innovations

description: Abstract The Brazilian Constitution of 1988 established participatory democracy. In 2001, the City Statute makes federal law fair and sustainable to the city and binds the participation to the implementation of this new urban policy a municipal liability. In 2016, a second wave of plans was developed, transitioning from “experiences” to a strong process in policy decisions. Architects and planners are among the most involved. Social actors connected to the urban matters ask themselves how to improve and give quality to the participation in the process of revision of urban codes. This text presents a method in participatory processes implemented, which can inspire professionals involved with the democratization of the cities. We discuss cases of Jundiaí and Vinhedo, municipalities in the State of São Paulo. The introduction of innovative participatory methodology, including different surveys, resulted in laws that reflect a project for a more democratic and inclusive city.
