title: The river, the railway and the highway: infrastructure and environment in the occupation of the Tietê floodplain in São Paulo

description: Abstract This paper approaches the ocupation of environmentally sensitive areas in the metropolis of São Paulo, aiming to explain the historical materialization of the floodplain between the neighborhoods of Lapa and Barra Funda, which had the river, the railway and the highways as structuring elements. Through the construction of a historical narrative, mediated by the exercise of interpretative cartography, this paper explains the emergence of the urban landscape on the floodplain, revealing its structuring elements and its occupation, conditioned by different rationalities, and elucidating its current material condition, the basis for the application of contemporary urban instruments. As a result, we highlight the creation of a fragmented landscape and present the allegories that articulate a reflection on the role of infrastructure in the occupation of the natural territory.

title: Experimental predatory behavior of the stone crab Eriphia verrucosa (Forskål, 1775) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Eriphiidae)

description: Abstract Predatory behavior of the crab Eriphia verrucosa (Forskål, 1775) on the oyster Magallana angulata (Lamarck, 1819), the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819, the limpet Patella depressa Pennant, 1777, the hermit crab Clibanarius erythropus (Latreille, 1818), the gastropod Phorcus lineatus (da Costa, 1778) and the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) was experimentally studied. Taken into account that the sampled population of E. verrucosa was infected with the parasitic barnacle Sacculina eriphiae Smith, 1906, four predator categories were established regarding crab sex and parasite presence: uninfected and infected males and females, respectively. These four crab categories were fed on the six preys offered, but prey remains suggest that the crab obtains the flesh of each prey using different methods of attack. Irrespective of the prey species, uninfected females consistently presented lower percentages of crab feeding and total consumption. On average, it was found that a significantly higher percentage of crabs feed on M. galloprovincialis, P. depressa and Ph. lineatus than on the other three prey species (chi-squared test, p &lt; 0.05). In terms of mean eaten biomass, the preys most eaten were P. lividus and P. depressa and the least eaten was C. erythropus (ANOVA test, p &lt; 0.05). For crabs feeding on M. galloprovincialis and Ph. lineatus there was a significant positive correlation (p &lt; 0.05) between the predator size and prey size, as well as between the predator size and total prey consumption. According to these results, potential effects of this top predator on intertidal communities are also discussed.

title: Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the Family Health Strategy: potentialities to be explored, fragilities to be reduced

description: Abstract Background The job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are aspects of health work. Objective The present study aimed to analyze the reasons for satisfaction and dissatisfaction among health professionals working at the Family Health Strategy. Method This is an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study conducted in a small municipality in southern Santa Catarina state, Brazil. Data from sixteen health professionals were collected through semi-structured interviews and direct observation, and were analyzed by content analysis using Atlas.ti software. Results Results were grouped into two macro categories: job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction of the professionals included recognition of their work (satisfied users and recognized work), work process (team work, identification, and organization), and institutional conditions (work load and stability), whereas job dissatisfaction was associated with aspects of work management (salary, overwork, work conditions, physical structure, work overload, possibility of becoming ill, deficiency, and information system), and difficulties in relationship (with users and team). Conclusion Health work management is the central aspect to increase job satisfaction and decrease the elements associated with professional dissatisfaction in the Family Health Strategy.

title: Internationalization, education and technological innovation: three key factors to improve the quality of the environment and public health

description: The environment and the health of mankind are subject to strong pressures from pollutants. The ambition of a better quality of life is often frustrated by the increase in emissions as a result of the increasing consumption of resources and energy to satisfy the growth of the world's population and its expectations for socioeconomic development. At times, problems take on a planetary dimension, the best known example being greenhouse gas emission, with the resulting effects of climate change. Pollution highlights our failure to provide adequate education, which is essential if we are to become fully aware of problems and actively seek sustainable solutions. To this end, it is essential to set up an extended environmental and health education program in all communities that will accompany younger generations from the beginning of their education in order to make them conscious players in protecting the environment and their own health. The size of the problems requires that a joint effort be made at an international level in the political realm and in the scientific-cultural realm in order to share experiences and sensitivity and to seek joint solutions. It is necessary to assign an increasingly important role to scientific and technological innovation which, in the last century, from Marconi to Einstein to Fleming, to the most recent innovations in the fields of genomics and microchips, has allowed humanity to achieve a rate of growth of wellbeing never previously seen in its thousands of years of history. This innovation must rationally be entrusted with our expectations to provide a practical solution to the problems of pollution that threaten our everyday lives and the survival of the planet. This text discusses the types of progress most eagerly awaited in the fields of water supply, wastewater treatment, atmospheric pollution and waste disposal.

title: The impact of the cost of oral hygiene products on the domestic budget in the urban region of a midsize Brazilian capital city

description: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of the cost of oral hygiene products in Teresina, Piauí, on the Brazilian minimum salary (MS) over the period of two years. METHODS: The writer of this study visited 12 businesses from five geographical areas of the city during four consecutive months in 2011 and 2013 to collect the prices of toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss and mouth rinse solutions of different brands. The prices were used to calculate the monthly expense that one individual would have if they consumed the ideal quantity of the products, as recommended by the dental literature. Brazil's MS at the time of the study was used as a parameter to calculate the impact of the cost of the items on the family budget. RESULTS: The mean monthly cost per individual was R$ 17.93 in 2011 (2.88% of the MS) and R$ 24.92 in 2013 (3.67% of the MS). There was an increase of 38.9 % in the mean price of products and the impact on the MS increased by 27.43 % during the study period. CONCLUSION: The impact of the cost of the oral care items was high on the Brazilian MS for the studied region. Dentists should be aware that the cost of these products can be an obstacle for their patients.

title: Grooming behaviors and gill fouling in the commercially important blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) and stone crab (Menippe mercenaria)

description: Abstract Grooming behaviors reduce fouling of body regions. In decapods, grooming time budgets, body regions groomed, and grooming appendages are known in several species; however, little data exists on brachyuran crabs. In this study, grooming behaviors of two commercially important crabs were documented (blue crabs: Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896; stone crabs: Menippe mercenaria Say, 1818). These crabs are harvested by fishermen and knowing their grooming behaviors is valuable, as clean crabs are preferred by consumers and the stone crab fishery consequence of removing one cheliped to grooming behaviors is unknown. Crabs were observed individually and agonistically to determine how grooming behaviors vary in the presence of another conspecific. Both species frequently use their maxillipeds and groom, with the gills being cleaned by epipods. Respiratory and sensory structures were groomed frequently in both species. Removal of a grooming appendage resulted in higher fouling levels in the gills, indicating that grooming behaviors do remove fouling. Overall, stone crabs had a larger individual time budget for grooming, but agonistic grooming time budgets were similar. Stone crab chelipeds are used in grooming, especially cleaning the other cheliped. The chelipeds are not the main grooming appendage; however, implications of losing one cheliped may have large impacts.

title: An overview of recent progress in the implementation of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation - a global perspective

description: Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) with its 16 outcome-orientated targets aimed at achieving a series of measurable goals was adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at its sixth meeting (COP-6) in 2002. In 2010, at COP-10, these targets were updated, taking into account progress at the time. To date, a number of countries have developed national responses to contribute to the GSPC, including several mega-diverse countries and other plant rich countries and regions. Additionally, a number of global initiatives have been established to promote the implementation of the GSPC. This paper provides an overview of progress at the global level towards the GSPC targets, highlighting actions that have taken place at a supra-national level, as well as providing examples of good practice in national implementation. The GSPC has been widely adopted, particularly by the botanic garden community, and while unlikely to achieve its ultimate goal of halting the loss of plant diversity by 2020, has achieved many successes, not least in allowing and facilitating many individuals and organisations from the botanical community to engage with the CBD and to contribute to the achievement of its objectives, targets and priorities.

title: MORPHOPHYSIOLOGY OF RHIZOBIA ISOLATED FROM NATIVE FORAGE OF FABACEAE OF THE CAATINGA

description: ABSTRACT The rhizobia found in Fabaceae plants of the Caatinga may have potential as fodder in the semiarid region, thus increasing the availability of feed for animal production in this region. This study aimed to characterize the morphophysiology of rhizobia strains of the forage species Mimosa tenuiflora (Jurema preta), Macroptilium atropurpureum (Siratro), and Desmanthus pernambucanus (Jureminha). The soil used as the substrate was collected at specific locations in the municipalities of Sertânia, Arcoverde, and São Bento do Una, state of Pernambuco. The characterization of rhizobial colonies included growth period, diameter, elevation, transparency, exopolysaccharides production, and color. In addition, salinity, temperature, and pH tolerance tests of the native rhizobia were conducted. Evaluation of cultures showed that the isolates formed colonies with flat elevation, moderate production of exopolysaccharides, coloration varying from cream to white, and a smooth surface. Physiological tests of abiotic stress resistance showed that the native species isolated from M. tenuiflora were more resistant when grown in soils from the municipality of Sertânia and isolates from M. atropurpureum and D. pernambucanus had high resistance to high temperatures, regardless of place of farming. It can be concluded that native rhizobia from the Semiarid region of Pernambuco show resistance to stress caused by high temperatures, salinity variation, and pH. These characteristics are influenced by soil and the botanical species in symbiosis with the rhizobia.

title: Systematization of information for identifying similar cardiovascular implantable devices

description: Introduction The lack of a terminology to compare medical devices together with the arbitrary and opaque nature of product registration systems are major obstacles to a more informed decision process regarding the use and acquisition of new medical devices. This paper describes the systematization of information to help in the identification of similar cardiovascular implantable devices. Methods The systematization was developed in four stages: definition of the technical attributes of each device group; classification of a sample of devices; implementation of the proposed systematization in Protégé; and evaluation of the application. The systematization dealt with a set of common attributes – indication of use, anatomic location, manufacturer, device model and lifetime; and a set of attributes specific for each type of device. Results The systematization was performed by means of a hierarchy of classes with the respective properties in Protégé, which support three basic functions: data entry, query, and maintenance. 38 queries were designed to allow the identification of similar devices according to their technical characteristics. The users’ evaluation showed that the application fulfilled the requirements to monitor the price of these devices on the market. Conclusions Protégé was a useful tool for the systematization of cardiovascular implantable devices that can be used for the post-market vigilance of medical device safety. To better fulfill this aim, other attributes may be incorporated to better characterize the safety aspects of these devices.
