title: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Arizona Sexual Scale (ASEX) into Portuguese

description: Abstract Introduction Sexual dysfunction is common in individuals with psychiatric disorders and under psychotropic medication such as antidepressants and antipsychotics. Several scales have been developed to assess sexual function in these patients. The Arizona Sexual Scale (ASEX) is a five-item rating scale that quantifies sex drive, arousal, vaginal lubrication/penile erection, ability to reach orgasm, and satisfaction from orgasm. We describe the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the ASEX into the Portuguese language, with the goal of contributing to the assessment of sexual function in Portuguese-speaking psychiatric patients under treatment with psychotropic drugs. Methods The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process thoroughly followed the steps recommended by the Task Force of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR), namely: preparation, forward translation, reconciliation, back-translation, back-translation review, harmonization, cognitive debriefing, review of cognitive debriefing, finalization, proofreading, and final version. Results The process was successfully completed and no major differences were found between the translation, reconciliation and back-translation phases, with only small adjustments being made. Conclusion The translation of the ASEX was completed successfully, following international reference guidelines. The use of these guidelines is a guarantee of a Portuguese version that is qualitatively and semantically equivalent to the original scale. This availability of this new scale version will enable studies evaluating the sexual function of Portuguese-speaking psychiatric patients. Future studies may assess the validity of the scale for Portuguese-speaking populations.

title: Global warming decreases the morphological traits of germination and environmental suitability of Dipteryx alata (Fabaceae) in Brazilian Cerrado

description: ABSTRACT We experimentally evaluated how different temperatures affect germination of individual seedlings of Dipteryx alata, and estimated the impact of climate change on the species using ecological niche modeling. A total of 240 seeds were randomly distributed among three different temperature treatments (32 ºC, 36 ºC, and 40 ºC), and monitored for 35 days. We measured seven seed traits and estimated the ecological niche of D. alata using a consensus of four methods. The treatment with the highest temperature produced smaller and lighter seedlings. The consensus of ecological niche modeling indicated that are expected to reduce the areas with climates favorable for D. alata in future scenarios. Thus, our two results (experiment and ecological niche modeling) are concordant, and both indicate the impact of global warming on germination (initial stage of the plant) and potential geographic distribution. Moreover, in geographic context, our experiment and ecological niche modeling indicated that north, northwest and central regions of the “Cerrado” are predicted to have lower morphological traits of germination and loss climate favorable area, since these regions are predicted to have higher temperatures (nearly 40 ºC) in future climatic scenarios.

title: Do prospective teachers know their students' errors in statistical inference?

description: Abstract The aim of this work was to assess the knowledge of students' errors in statistical inference in a group of Spanish prospective High and Secondary School teachers. This knowledge is part of the cognitive facet of teachers' didactic-mathematical knowledge. A sample of seventy prospective teachers was asked to describe their students' most likely error in carrying out a statistical test and a confidence interval, after having solved themselves a problem of each type. The responses are classified in agreement with the different steps in the procedures (selecting a procedure, problem setting, conceptual, procedural, and interpretative errors). The categories in each of these stages are determined by considering the errors described in research on understanding statistical inference. The results suggest a medium knowledge of the most frequent errors by prospective teachers; however, there is a general lack of precision and little awareness of errors linked to the significance level and p-value.

title: Factors and mass ratio analyses for Reactive Blue 19 dye decolorization using ozone: an experimental and analytical modelling approach

description: ABSTRACT Dyes highly reduce sunlight penetration into the stream, and consequently affect photosynthesis and oxygen transfer into water bodies. An experimental and analytical modelling approach to Reactive Blue 19 (RB19) removal using ozone was carried out. For this purpose, factors and mass ratio analyses were assessed based on batch assays experiments. Removal efficiency increased from 64 to 94% when the dosage increased from 38.4 to 153.6 mg O3.L-1. Results showed that RB19 is more efficiently removed when initial pH is 7. The rate of RB19 removal decreased as the initial dye concentration increased. Kinetic studies showed that the ozonation of RB19 was a pseudo first-order reaction with respect to the dye, and the apparent rate constant declined logarithmically with the initial dye concentration. Mass ratio studies showed that, for the empirical analysis, the power law equation was adequate to describe mass ratio over time and the analytical analysis suggests that the process is influenced by mass transfer in the liquid film as well as in the bulk fluid.

title: Mapping of groundwater hydrogeochemistry aspects through multivariate statistics and artificial neural networks

description: ABSTRACT The main objective this paper was to map the hydrogeochemistry aspects of groundwater using multivariate statistics and artificial neural networks as a subsidy to identify spatial patterns. For this, a case study was carried out in aquifers in the municipality of Lençóis (BA), in the region of Chapada Diamantina, Northeastern Brazil. Field campaigns were carried out to collect geodetic coordinates and groundwater samples. After laboratorial analysis and determination of analytical data, the environmental processes were interpreted by cluster analysis and self-organizing maps, as well as the waters classification through CONAMA Resolution no. 396/2008. For the purpose of mapping the analyzed data, geoprocessing techniques were used in GIS. The main physical and chemical constituents analyzed in two climatic periods were mapped and divided into seven clusters. Four zones that present different hydrogeochemical contexts were identified in the municipality. The zones of the east/southeastern, south (urban area) and south end sectors present the most significant changes in hydrogeochemistry and water quality. The mapping, supported by multivariate statistics and artificial neural networks, was potentially useful in contributing to the management actions of groundwater resources as delimitation of priority areas, monitoring of contamination risk zones and engineering interventions that eventually seek environmental groundwater sanitation.

title: MEANINGS OF VOLUNTEER WORK: A STUDY WITH MEMBERS OF A LUTHERAN INSTITUTION

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To understand the meanings of volunteer work among members of a lutheran protestant church. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: This research adds to the field of knowledge of the meanings of work, especially because of the specific context studied. In addition, it extends the discussion on volunteering, by entering the management of religious institutions that are supported by the help of volunteers. Key methodological aspects: A qualitative approach to research was adopted and data were gathered in documents, interviews, and non-participant observation of the board meetings of a lutheran church synod in Southeast Brazil. The perspective used to analyze data was that the production of meanings is also a means for interpreting. Besides, using associating ideas mapping technique allowed the identification of categories based on the content and logical sequence of discourse. Summary of key results: The study found eight meanings of work: identification with the lutheran ethics; integrity and image of the institution; unit; conditions and willingness to participate; incentive from others; relation with the profession; pleasant relationship between a board of directors; and monitoring, support, and recognition. Key considerations/conclusions: The study revealed a better understanding for volunteering at a religious organization on how to think about ways to manage it. Also, it was realized that the experiences and interaction with others shape the individual and his or her relationship with the church, and that the meaning of work has a different relationship to each religion.

title: Health environmental indicator in 21 municipalities in the state of Goiás with basic public sanitation services operated by the prefectures

description: ABSTRACT This study evaluated the environmental health conditions of 21 municipalities in the state of Goiás with basic public sanitation services operated directly by the Prefectures. The Environmental Health Indicator (ISA) proposed by CONESAN was adapted according to the availability of the existing data. The situations found were: 9.5% of healthy municipalities, 28.6% with average health and 61.9% with low health, and the indicators that most influenced the results were those of sanitary sewage and solid waste. The study showed the importance of researching on the health situation and allowed to verify which services deserve to receive immediate interventions and, therefore, both economic and technical investment in the municipal systems studied.

title: Precipitation Trends on Time Series in North of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil

description: Abstract The aim of this paper is relating trends of increasing and/or decreasing on precipitation time series in the north part of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, with ENOS phases. To do so, time series of rainfall data from eight meteorological stations were used. The annual total precipitation data were previously analyzed and their gaps were filled. Then, they were plotted in charts, as well as the average data and the linear regression. Pluviometrical series were also analyzed using the software TREND, applying the following non-parametrical statistical tests: Man-Kendall and Spearman’s rho. Tests identified changes on trends in 50% of the analyzed stations, corroborating with results found in charts. Increase of the annual total precipitation in temporal series may be related with El Niño and La Niña periods. However, more specific studies should be performed in order to confirm this hypothesis, since rainfall variability may also be related with hydrological changes, as a result of use and occupation of the soil as well as anthropic activities in the north part of the state.

title: Profile of potential organ donors and factors related to donation and non- donation of organs in an Organ Procurement Service.

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to characterize the profile of potential and effective organ donors, and to identify the factors related to non-donation. Methods: the data was collected from the Organization of Organ Donation forms during the period of January 2013 to April 2018. The statistical analysis was done by the Biostatistic Service of the School of Medical Sciences of UNICAMP. Results: the study analyzed 1,772 potential donors; the male gender was predominant (57.39%). Vascular injuries (n=996) were the main cause of brain death. The family refusal (42.8%) was the leading cause of non-donation of organs. There was statistical difference between donors and non-donors in regard to the mean age and mean systolic blood pressure. There was also a relationship between the donation of organs and the absence of diabetes and smoking. Conclusion: the majority of effective organ donors were young males. The main causes of brain death (BD) and family refusal of organ donation were cerebrovascular disorder and no desire to donate organs after death, respectively. Alcoholics and males were more frequently found in traumatic causes of BD. Therefore, initiatives for population awareness and discussion among the families regarding organ donation can lead to increase the number of effective organ donors.

title: Teaching Your Peers: The inclusion of an autistic student in mathematics classes

description: Abstract This project demonstrates the result of a research, which aimed at analysing the mathematics practices of a 14 year-old student, with special needs due to the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), included in a ninth grade regular classroom. In this text, we bring reflections about autism and its history, in addition to some theoretical considerations that give support to the study and the methodological procedures applied in ten individual sittings, two collective ones and the observations made by the teacher in the mathematics classes, in which the mathematics concept, Notable Products and Quadratic equations, were discussed. The analyses highlight the importance and the influence of the mediating instruments (materials and semiotics) in the student's mathematical practices and for their effective inclusion in Mathematics classes.
