title: “Don't look a gift horse in the mouth”: when a public housing policy violates the way of living of the peasant

description: Abstract: This article aims to discuss the symbolic violence present in the implementation process of the Minho Coso, Meu Moronhão housing program, analyzing its development, verifying its guidelines and their application, and the attitudes of the beneficiaries after the materialization of the reported violence found in the program house. Considering the rural way of living as intrinsic to their general living conditions, the text analyzes the conception of the housing program created from the Progromo Nocionol de Hobitoção Rurol (PNHR), demonstrably ineffective in the Northeastern region of the country and far apart from the reality of the beneficiaries. Based on field research conducted from 2015 to 2019, in Pequizeiro, a village of the Belágua municipality, Maranhão, this article discusses the process of appropriation of the new home by the contemplated families, analyzing modifications and identifying them, as well as analyzing the different uses of the environments, which change according to the needs of each family nucleus. Based on the study of post-occupation physical interventions, it concludes that the program is incompatible with the local reality, and the disregard and violence practiced on the peasant way of life have their answers in the interventions in the house and its surroundings that seek to restore the necessary conditions for its social reproduction.

title: An analysis of the competition structure of the sectors according to the technological intensity

description: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of competition structures in different sectors according to technological intensity, following the important theories of Melitz (2003) and Baldwin and Harrigan (2011). Using data from the 70 main exporters and importers, we estimated the relationship between comparative advantage and the quality/price of products sold through cross-sections between 2008 and 2017. We found evidence that countries that exhibit comparative advantage over products with higher technological content are able to transform this advantage into technological and productive advancement in order to increase the quality of their products. On the other hand, the evidence points out that countries that exhibit comparative advantage over products with lower technological content invest in productive improvement in order to reduce their marginal costs and, therefore, compete in the international market through lower prices.

title: Impacts and compensatory measures: transport infrastructure project from BR-429/RO to the Tupari community of Tl Rio Branco, Brazilian Amazon

description: Abstract: Transport infrastructure projects that impact Indigenous Lands (Tl) are subject to the environmental compensation process because the damage caused must be compensated due to the impacts generated in the locality. The work aimed to analyze the politics of indigenous peoples and the interfaces between the Tupari people of the Rio Branco Indigenous Land in Rondônia and the transport infrastructure project BR-429/RO, reflecting on the socio-environmental relations of engineering works on land indigenous peoples. Among the methodological procedures, the documentary survey stands out, having as objects of studies the Environmental Control Plan of BR-429/RO (PCA), the Study of Indigenous Component (ECI), and the Basic Environmental Indigenous Plan (PBAI). It is noted that the indigenous peoples' policy provides for an environmental compensation process with the potential to mitigate the impacts generated by highways. However, it is necessary to implement measures that seek ecological equivalence in the impacted areas. It is evident that the environmental compensation instrument of the BR-429/RO transport infrastructure project has not been able to be carried out efficiently and also does not meet the real impacts generated on the environment.

title: Decomposition of Brazil’s per capita income growth: a regional-sectoral approach

description: Abstract The article measures the determinants of the Brazil's per capita income growth in the 2004-15 period, based on the role of productivity and variables related to the labor market and the demography. The investigation is carried out jointly in a regional (by Major Regions) and sectoral approach (contribution of each activity of the productive structure to the growth of each geographical unit). The role of productive efficiency and structural changes in the composition of employment and relative prices in this growth is highlighted. The article brings some contributions to the literature, mainly due to the empirical approach not yet explored within the regional and sectoral context. The results indicate important differences in the contributions of each component of the decomposition depending on the geographical unit analyzed, as well as relevant sectoral heterogeneities within and between such units.

title: Relations between tourism public policies and the actions of tourist services in the municipality of Bonito, a national ecotourism pole

description: Abstract: The tourism public politics and the tourist services are means that enable the organization and realization of tourist activity, an important source of income for several regions, in Brazil and worldwide. In Bonito, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, the natural environment is the great responsible for the tourist's demand, which, and not only for this reason, should receive attention from public and private agencies with a view to its sustainability, because the existence or not of public policies the way in which the relations between the components of the tourism activity occur interfere in its development of tourism. Thus, this article intends to understand the relationships between the public politics of tourism and the actions of the tourist services, in Bonito, in the perspective of the natural environment. The methodology used was quantitative and qualitative of a descriptive-exploratory nature, through the application of a questionnaire applied in the tourist services of Bonito, appraised with the aid of the software Sphinx Léxica 5.0. The results indicated that as much the publics politics of tourism as the actions developed by tourist services are still insufficient to guarantee the conservation of the natural way. They are few the actions accomplished by the section and, of those, a small parcel happens for influence of the government organs through their politics, demonstrating, therefore, that the relationships are still inexpressive. The relationships exist but do not occur in an appropriate way to favor tourism practices, considering what has been called environmental sustainability.

title: Lung ultrasonography as a tool to guide perioperative atelectasis treatment bundle in head and neck cancer patients undergoing free flap reconstructive surgeries: a preliminary observational study

description: Abstract Introduction: General anesthesia causes pulmonary atelectasis within few minutes of induction. This can have significant impact on postoperative outcome of cancer patients undergoing prolonged reconstructive surgeries. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of sonographically detected perioperative atelectasis on the need for postoperative oxygen supplementation, bronchodilator therapy and assisted chest physiotherapy in patients undergoing free flap surgeries for head and neck carcinoma. Methods: Twenty eight head and neck cancer patients underwent bilateral pulmonary ultrasonographic assessments before and after lung surgery. Lung ultrasound scores, serum lactate, and PaO2/FiO2 ratio were measured both at the beginning and at end of the surgery. Patients were scanned in the supine position and the number of single and confluent B lines was noted. These values were correlated with the need for oxygen therapy, requirement of bronchodilators and total weaning time to predict the postoperative outcome. Other factors affecting weaning were also studied. Results: Among twenty eight patients, seven had mean lung ultrasound score of ≥10.5 which correlated with prolonged weaning time (144.56±33.5min vs. 66.7±15.7min; p = 0.005). The change in lung ultrasound score significantly correlated with change in PaO2/FiO2 ratio (r = −0.56, p = 0.03). Elevated total leukocyte count &gt;8200 ΜL and serum lactate &gt;2.1 mmoL/L also predicted prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation. Conclusion: This preliminary study detected significant levels of perioperative atelectasis using point of care lung ultrasonography in head and neck cancer patients undergoing long duration surgical reconstructions. Higher lung ultrasound scores highlighted the need for frequent bronchodilator nebulizations as well as assisted chest physiotherapy and were associated with delayed weaning. We propose more frequent point of care lung ultrasonographic evaluations and use of recruitment maneuvers to reduce the impact of perioperative pulmonary atelectasis.

title: Tuberculous Aortic Aneurysm - A Review

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Tuberculous aortic aneurysm (TBAA) is an exceedingly rare but severe manifestation of tuberculosis, with a high risk of sudden rupture of the aorta in absence of medical or surgical intervention. This review aimed to provide a detailed understanding of TBAA, including its associated complications, affected population, treatment measures, and outcomes. Methods: Case studies and relevant research articles were analyzed to understand the recent advances in medical scientific knowledge on TBAA. Recent clinical case reports on TBAA were searched from the year 2010 to 2020. Results: Case reports indicated a higher prevalence of TBAA in the male population. The most affected age group was 15 to 79 years. The most common treatment for TBAA included surgery followed by antituberculous medication. The case reports discussed in this review reflected open surgery, endovascular repair, coil embolization, laparotomy, aortic valve and root replacement as some of the surgical procedures used depending on the complication and type of aneurysm. The treatment outcome was considered effective in most cases. Conclusion: Postoperative chemotherapy and medications reduce the risk of severity. Early diagnosis of TBAA is imperative, followed by surgical resection and postoperative antituberculous medication with careful follow-up to prevent relapse.

title: FGF23 levels as a marker of physical performance and falls in community-dwelling very old individuals

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been related to biological aging, but data in elderly individuals are scant. We determined the profile of serum FGF23 levels in a population of very-old individuals and studied their correlations with parameters of bone metabolism and health markers, as functional performance. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 182 community dwellers aged ≥ 80 years. Serum levels of FGF23, PTH, calcium, albumin, phosphorus, creatinine, bone markers, and bone mineral density data were analyzed. Physical performance was evaluated with the stationary march (Step), Flamingo, and functional reach tests, along with questionnaires to assess falls and fractures in the previous year, energy expenditure (MET), and the Charlson index (CI). Physical activity was evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results: Most participants (75%) had FGF23 levels between 30-120 RU/mL (range: 6.0-3,170.0 RU/mL). FGF23 levels correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; r = -0.335; p = 0.001) and PTH (r = 0.318; p &lt; 0.0001). Individuals with FGF23 in the highest tertile had more falls in the previous year (p = 0.032), worse performance in the Flamingo (p = 0.009) and Step (p &lt; 0.001) tests, worse CI (p = 0.009) and a trend toward sedentary lifestyle (p = 0.056). On multiple regression, FGF23 tertiles remained significant, independently of eGFR, for falls in the previous year, performance in the Flamingo and stationary march tests, lean mass index, and IPAQ classification. Conclusion: In a population of very elderly individuals, FGF23 levels were inversely associated with neuromuscular and functional performances. Higher concentrations were related to more falls, lower muscle strength and aerobic capacity, and poorer balance, regardless of renal function, suggesting a potentially deleterious role of high FGF23 concentrations in musculoskeletal health.
