title: Wylie-Johnson analysis of adolescents of Afro-Brazilian descent with normal occlusion: investigation of the mean values

description: OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate mean cephalometric measurements for a group of individuals of Afro-Brazilian descent using the Wylie-Johnson analysis, and to investigate the presence of sexual dimorphism. METHODS: Thirty-six lateral radiographs of the head of African-Brazilians were used. Subjects were 10 to 14 years old and had clinically normal occlusion, all permanent teeth, and no history of orthodontic treatment. RESULTS: Results for girls and boys were, respectively: SNA 88.31º and 89.68º; SNB 83.96º and 85.01º; ANB 4.44º and 4.69º; 1:1= 118.18º and 116.51º; FG-ST 16.47 mm and 16.12 mm; ST-Pmf 19.69 mm and 19.88 mm; Pmf-ANS 53.69 mm and 54.84 mm; Pmf-1ºMS 21.83 mm and 20.64 mm; FG-Pg 108.19 mm and 108.45 mm; FPL -MPL 27.48º and 27.65º; TAFH 111.06 mm and 112.26 mm; UAFH 45.26 mm and 45.38 mm; LAFH 65.80 mm and 66.88 mm; FG-FPL 1.069 mm and -2.086 mm; MBL 70.24 mm and 69.67 mm; MRH 51.89 mm and 53.70 mm; gonial angle 129.27º and 129.28º. Results of Student's-t test (α=5%) did not show any sexual dimorphism. Results of descriptive statistics were similar for the individuals of Afro-Brazilian descent in the study. CONCLUSION: Individuals of African descent had bimaxillary protrusion, a more acute interincisal angle, a larger inferior facial height, and a markedly convex profile.

title: Awareness of Rural Producers Regarding the LR and PPA in Divinopolis, MG, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This study sought to evaluate the environmental awareness of small rural producers in the municipality of Divinópolis, MG, Brazil, regarding Legal Reserves – LR and Permanent Preservation Areas – PPA, referencing the state’s current forest legislation, known as the Forest Code of Minas Gerais (Law 20.922/2013). For this purpose, a qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews, with the sample defined by the saturation criterion, and issues considered using Bardin content analysis. The results showed that, in general, rural landowners define both evaluated terms incorrectly and/or incompletely. All of them reported not having knowledge of the environmental legislation and the majority declared not having been informed about the question and presented no record of LR notarization or registration at the Rural Environmental Registry - RER. This finding showed the need for the involvement of public and social institutions, and companies operating in the region to create guidance and training programs for landowners regarding environmental legislation, as well as encouraging the creation and maintenance of protected areas and supporting the environmental compliance of the properties.

title: The Metropolis Statute and metropolitan regions: a theoretical-conceptual analysis in light of Milton Santos’ concept of “used territory”

description: Abstract This paper discusses, conceptually, the limits and advances of the Metropolis Statute regarding the definition and delimitation of metropolitan regions as political territories, capable of becoming objects of public policies. The emergence of the ‘metropolitan’ reveals changes in the national spatial order in Brazil and imposes significant challenges, mainly concerning the formulation of public policies and the need for their articulation. This article’s empirical reference is the Metropolis Statute and its predecessors, and it intends to present, based on this regulation and on the context of its approval, a critical analysis of the concept of metropolitan region adopted by the Metropolis Statute, in light of what Milton Santos calls “used territory”.

title: D. Pedro II and the coats of the empire: the meanings of power in male attire of the Brazilian Second Empire

description: Abstract: After the French Revolution, the sumptuary laws were virtually abolished and social distinction has become increasingly marked by unwritten conventions in the form of wear both in Europe and in Brazil. In the nineteenth century, the male wardrobe symbolized belonging to the aristocracy and high bourgeoisie, which were inspired by romanticism and liberalism. What would distinguish the well-born were the coats, top hats, walking sticks, pocket watches and black clothes. The emperor d. Pedro II to let retract using these symbols made it clear that it was not just an ordinary citizen, but belonged to the long term tradition of European aristocracy.

title: Spatiotemporal patterns of leprosy-related mortality in Bahia state, northeastern Brazil, 1999-2014

description: Abstract Background Leprosy is a neglected condition with a high mortality burden, especially in poorer areas. The objective of this study was to analyze temporal trends and spatiotemporal patterns of mortality related to leprosy in the state of Bahia, 1999-2014. Objective To analyze the spatiotemporal trends and patterns of mortality associated with leprosy in the state of Bahia, Brazil, from 1999 to 2014. Method Population-based study utilizing secondary mortality data including all deaths, in which leprosy was mentioned, recorded in the state of Bahia from 1999 to 2014. Results From a total of 1,152,262 deaths, leprosy was identified in 481 (0.04%) cases, resulting in a mean annual gross mortality rate of 0.21 deaths/100,000 inhabitants (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.13-0.29). Unspecified leprosy (87.73%; 422/481) and leprosy complications (6.44%; 31/484) were the most commonly reported clinical forms. Risk of death associated with leprosy was higher among men (relative risk [RR]: 2.38; 95% CI; 0.19-0.46), elderly (RR: 74.79; 95% CI; 9.57-582.20), and in the eastern region of the state (RR: 4.08; 95% CI; 2.33-7.15). Overall mortality rates showed a significant increase during the observation period (Average Annual Percentage Change [AAPC] 7.3, 95% CI; 4.5-10.3), as well as proportional mortality (AAPC 5.3; 95% CI; 2.2-8.3). Conclusions Leprosy is a neglected cause of death in the state of Bahia. The disease presents unequal regional spatiotemporal trends, with risks associated mainly in males and older age groups.

title: USE OF ATMOSPHERIC PLASMA IN GERMINATION OF Hybanthus calceolaria (L.) Schulze-Menz SEEDS

description: ABSTRACT Plasma technology is a fast, cost-effective, and pollution-free method that can be used in place of conventional methods to overcome seed dormancy. The goal of the present study was to determine the effect of different application times of atmospheric plasma on soaking and germination of Hybanthus calceolaria seeds in order to accelerate these processes. Helium plasma jet produced by dielectric barrier discharge was used to treat H. calceolaria seeds with applications of 1, 5, and 10 minutes. The treated seeds were characterized considering their weight variation during soaking, changes in electrical conductivity, and pH. It was found that germination depended on the plasma application time. The treatment of H. calceolaria seeds with atmospheric plasma for 1 minute provided 3.5 times greater germination in comparison to untreated seeds. Atmospheric plasma technology obtained by dielectric barrier discharge had potential of being used as a germination accelerant in H. calceolaria seeds. The treatment of H. calceolaria seeds using atmospheric plasma for 1 minute favored germination.

title: Double Entry Volumetric Models for Use in Brazilian Forest Stands

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to present some double entry volumetric models developed to quantify the volume of wood in Brazil. As a case study, we used data of 180 trees-sample of Eucalyptus urophylla and Eucalyptus grandis aged 5-7 years. To evaluate the volumetric models performance, we used the following statistical criteria, standard error of the estimate, adjusted coefficient of determination, mean absolute error, sum of squared of relative errors, average of percentage error, standard deviation of the errors, determination coefficient between actual and predicted volume, square root of the average error and analysis of the distribution of residuals. We selected a volumetric model developed from the form factor equation adapted to the Gompertz’s biomathematical model.

description: ABSTRACT Charcoal is a product of great importance in the Brazilian economy, a fact linked to its use as a renewable energy source and reducing the steel industry. Efforts have been made aiming at improving the production process of charcoal, which can be obtained in different furnace types with varying yield and quality. Taking these factors into consideration, the aim of this study was to survey the characteristics relating to the carbonization plant belonging to the Saint Gobain Ltda. company, in the city of Seropédica/Rio de Janeiro-Brazil and chemically analyze the coal produced. The data were obtained through a questionnaire and compared to the other two companies in the same industrial segment. The analysis of charcoal samples was conducted in the laboratory through chemical analysis. The furnaces used in charcoal production in existing carbonization plant analyzed company are characterized as surface furnaces with chimney. The average output of the conversion of wood charcoal was 50%. Compared to other carbonization systems, the company analyzed showed intermediate values in terms of process yield and charcoal produced is considered good quality, with high fixed carbon content (82.70%) and low ash content (1,30%).

title: Influence of morphometric characteristics of the Benevente River watershed in Alfredo Chaves Municipality - Espírito Santo State

description: Floods affect the lives of thousands of people around the world and their causes may be related to both natural and anthropogenic factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the Benevente River watershed morphometry and the occurrence of floods in the town of Alfredo Chaves, Espírito Santo State, Brazil. The database consisted of a digital elevation model (ASTER), a vector hydrographic network of IBGE and a 40-year period series of daily precipitation. The morphometric parameters were obtained using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The study area has an elongated shape, with a high drainage density, strongly undulate topography and an average slope of 42.75%. The altitude ranged from 480 to 1591 m. November, December and January were the wettest months, with a monthly average rainfall of 246.7, 261.5 and 204.2 mm, respectively. It was concluded that high slopes of the basin and of the main river, coupled with increased use and occupation of the land, exerts significant influence on the runoff in the basin, increasing the chances of the occurrence of flood peaks.
