title: Physical modeling applied in evaluation of the safety and efficiency of vessel mooring plans

description: ABSTRACT For cargo handling to be carried out safely and efficiently, port terminals should provide favorable conditions of shelter, thus avoiding excessive movement of moored vessels and mitigating strengths on mooring lines. However, terminals in which the influence of waves, winds or currents provide adverse conditions to keep a vessel moored need to pay attention to the mooring arrangement of the vessels, through studies that guarantee the effectiveness of the system. In this context, small-scale hydraulic physical models are the most accurate tool for simulation of mooring lines plans of vessels, since they can accurately reproduce all the complexity of the hydrodynamics and its interaction with the vessel. This manuscript presents the technique of physical modeling in vessel mooring studies and its application in a case study made for Ponta da Madeira Port Terminal. In a scale model 1:170 was carried out a comparison of two proposed mooring arrangements for the Valemax class bulk carrier, the results of which allowed to define a safe alternative that made the berthing operation feasible during almost 100% of the time.

title: Limits and conditions for the exploitation of alluvial aquifers in the Brazilian semi-arid region

description: ABSTRACT Easily exploitable aquifers are formed along river beds in the Brazilian semi-arid region and present characteristics that enable the construction of underground dams. The estimate of the potential effective exploitation of these aquifers must take into account the pumping limits of the wells, the upstream groundwater inflows and the flows to downstream reaches and through the underground dam, whose reduction influences the downstream supply. The current research presents a real case study about an aquifer reach, with underground dam and wells, which was analyzed through computational model. We simulated the groundwater flow patterns according to different exploitation scenarios and found that there should be water extraction limitations to assure the required downstream flows. The limitations can be minimized through appropriate well locations and exploitation regimes, as well as through the implementation of underground dams. The definition of these measures becomes possible through the sound use of computational simulation, but their effective implementation will depend on negotiations among users at the basin scale, so that appropriate water permits can be issued.

title: Family Health Support Center (Nasf): a national panorama based on National Program for Access and Quality Improvement (PMAQ) data

description: ABSTRACT The Family Health Support Center (Nasf) was created in 2008 and aims to increase the resolution and scope of Primary Care (AB) actions. Composed by a multiprofessional team, it should develop joint activities with the AB teams, following the logic of matrix support and technical-pedagogical or clinical-assistancial actions, aiming at the integrality of care. The objective of this study was to analyze the work of the Nasf in Brazilian territory, considering the integration between the Nasf and AB teams, based on data from the external evaluation of the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement (PMAQ) in the second cycle. The results found show adequacy of the infrastructure, matrix support activities and activities integrated with the AB teams. However, the monitoring and analysis of indicators, the initial training and the continuing education need greater attention.

title: the adoption of Geotechnology in public transport and urban organization in Brazil

description: Several countries already have the technology known as Intelligent Transport Systems - ITS, that means control and management of public transport, activities information to the user, traffic control and management of financial resources through programs of electronic ticketing. In Brazil it is possible to identify, in recent years, a strong increase of these technologies, consolidated by investments and technical training in the departments of transportation. The aim of this paper was to discuss the actions implemented in Brazil, highlighting the integration of geothecnologies in this process. The survey showed that the Southeast is one of the most relevant national representatives, with a large number of cities that make use of ITS technologies. However, it is known that the process and implementation are slow due to numerous difficulties, including those observed in the different situations presented. Even with the full deployment in the cities listed and expansion into other, only the major centers will be fully satisfied, as there are multimodal diversity.

title: Efficiency assessment in university libraries

description: Abstract University libraries provide an important service to society, contributing to spread knowledge and cultivating new talents in the academic environment. The main objective of this article is to perform a review of the literature on efficiency assessments in the context of university libraries. The databases Web of Science and Scopus were adopted as reference to search for papers in the aforementioned context and identify the methodologies used and perspectives set out by different authors. A complementary search was also made on Google Scholar to obtain additional articles. In sum, 34 papers were found to compose the core of analyzed publications. As result, we observed that nearly 90% of the papers use Data Envelopment Analysis to assess the efficiency of university libraries and other methodologies with the same proposal were identified. Moreover, the variables used in these publications were analyzed, contributing to the mapping of main inputs and outputs that directly affect the services of university libraries. Furthermore, other characteristics were also considered, such as: temporal placement of publications and countries with the largest production of papers. Finally, based on the results of this study, further researches are suggested.

title: Effect of glycemic index on obesity control

description: Objective Evaluate the effect of glycemic index (GI) on biochemical parameters, food intake, energy metabolism, anthropometric measures and body composition in overweight subjects.Materials and methods Simple blind study, in which nineteen subjects were randomly assigned to consume in the laboratory two daily low GI (n = 10) or high GI (n = 9) meals, for forty-five consecutive days. Habitual food intake was assessed at baseline. Food intake, anthropometric measures and body composition were assessed at each 15 days. Energy metabolism and biochemical parameters were evaluated at baseline and the end of the study.Results Low GI meals increased fat oxidation, and reduced waist circumference and HOMA-IR, while high GI meals increased daily dietary fiber and energy intake compared to baseline. There was a higher reduction on waist circumference and body fat, and a higher increase on postprandial fat oxidation in response to the LGI meals than after high GI meals. High GI meals increased fasting respiratory coefficient compared to baseline and low GI meals.Conclusion The results of the present study showed that the consumption of two daily low GI meals for forty-five consecutive days has a positive effect on obesity control, whereas, the consumption of high GI meals result has the opposite effect.

title: CAPYBARAS (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) AND THE PRESENCE OF TICKS (Amblyomma sculptum) AT THE UFSCAR ARARAS CAMPUS, SÃO PAULO

description: Abstract Capybaras are territorial animals that live in groups social occurring even in anthropized areas. In some regions of Brazil, these animals have shown high rates of tick infestation from the genus Amblyomma, which can be considered as a main biological vector and natural reservoir of the bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii, an agent that causes Brazilian Spotted Fever. At Federal University of São Carlos, Araras campus, the interaction between capybaras, ticks and the community is frequent, occurring especially during the dry season. This study aimed to carry out a population census of capybaras that occurred on campus, identifying their home-range and verifying if these rodents were infested by ticks. The Applied methods included direct observation of capybara, capture-mark-recapture technique using a trap and also collection of ticks from the capybaras and the environment. The census recorded a maximum number of 56 capybaras, with density of 1.50 individuals/ha. The trap captures accounted for 24 animals, 25% males and 75% females, in which 25% were adult animals, 45.8% juveniles and 29.2% infants. The tick species most found both infesting animals and environment was A. sculptum. In conclusion, the group of capybaras studied showed a high number of individuals of resources and due to the presence the absence of predators, and given the high ticks infestation.

title: PYOMETRA IN BITCHES: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLINICAL PROGNOSIS AND LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS

description: Abstract Pyometra is a disease resulting from bacterial interaction with cystic endometrial hyperplasia. The aim of this study was to identify bacteria under aerobic and anaerobic conditions of intrauterine secretion of bitches with pyometra, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, status of the cervix, peritonitis, serum biochemical measurements and to compare the prognosis of surgically treated bitches. We used 15 bitches with pyometra, undergoing ovariohysterectomy. Blood count and dosage of serum biochemicals were performed preoperatively. Urine was collected by cystocentesis during surgery. After the uterus was removed, intrauterine secretion was aspirated; the samples were grown aerobically and anaerobically, and urine aerobically. The animals were divided into two groups, G1 (hospital discharge until 48 hours) and G2 (discharged after 48 hours or death). Eleven samples of intrauterine content (73.3%) had bacterial growth in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and Arizona hinshawii was isolated in a sample. Four urine samples (26.6%) had bacterial growth. There were significant differences in status of the cervix, urea, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase between G1 and G2. Although the etiology diversity found in intrauterine cultures was high, the evaluation of azotemia, status of the cervix, and serum alkaline phosphatase dosage proved to be good prognostics markers in female dogs with pyometra.

title: Baseflow representation module on MODCEL

description: ABSTRACT The land use characteristics of rural watersheds allow infiltration and consequent generation of groundwater flow, which constitutes a significant contribution to the hydrograph. Prior to this study, the MODCEL-COPPE/UFRJ model simulated only runoff, disregarding the losses occurred in rainfall-runoff process. Therefore, its application was more appropriate to urban watersheds, simulating flood events where surface flows prevail. This study aimed at representing the infiltration process and at incorporating the groundwater flow in the MODCEL’s structure, making feasible the rural watersheds simulation thus expanding its applicability as a hydrological model. A case study was performed in a 417 km2 subcatchment of Piabanha River, located at Petrópolis/RJ. It’s a predominantly rural watershed, with 80% of its area covered by forests. The model represented satisfactorily the seasonality and the magnitude of simulated recharges. In the parameter calibration procedure gave a coefficient of determination R2 = 0.75, comparing the calculated flows to the observed flows. During validation period, we obtained a coefficient of determination R2 = 0.76. The fit obtained was superior to that obtained in previous modeling of the same watershed by SMAP and MODCEL (previous version) and it was similar to TOPMODEL. In the hydrograph recession, new MODCEL presented R2 = 0.75, against 0.52 obtained in its previous version.

title: Happiness of Cascavel-PR working population according to the Gross Domestic Happiness index

description: Abstract This study aims to identify which variables most influence the workers happiness in the city of Cascavel, PR. Therefore, it applied the descriptive statistics on data collected from a questionnaire elaborated based on the adapted methodology of Gross National Happiness index-FIB. Among the questions the individuals were asked on how often they practice physical activity; had good a night of quiet and deep sleep; about the use of time, considering that this is one of the most significant factors in the quality of life, especially the time for leisure and socializing with family and friends. Balanced time management was assessed, including time in traffic, at work, in educational activities, leisure, etc. Among the results, being optimistic, the practice of physical exercises, participation in a social group, are factors that positively affect the happiness of individuals. And yet, in response to the question on what make them happier, we identified the preference for non-material factors, especially those related to family, good feelings, good practices in society, health, solidarity and spirituality.

title: Cordel literature and Northeastern migration: tradiction and dislocation

description: Abstract Seen as the origin, that is, the archaic, the cordel literature was almost always analyzed departing from the point of view of recovering, regaining the primitive roots of Brazilian literature. The aim of this work is to investigate how, through cultural dislocations, cordel literature is produced and discussed. By cultural dislocation we understand the migratory movement of people from the Northeast to Southeast Brazil, and the cultural relationships that follow such process. We analyze how these migratory movements influenced the poetic writing of the authors involved in such movements, and their consequences on the theoretical discussions on cordel literature.

title: Surface water quality assessment of the main tributaries in the lower São Francisco River, Sergipe

description: ABSTRACT Contamination of water body by diffuse and point sources in springs has caused concerns mainly due to restrictions on its quality. The problem becomes more serious when contamination affects water for human consumption, as occurs in the river São Francisco, which supplies several municipalities of Sergipe. In this sense, the objective of the study was to evaluate water quality in eleven tributaries of the São Francisco river in its low course in the period from 2013 to 2014, in order to subsidize decision making by public management bodies operating in the region. For this purpose, it was used the Water Quality Index (WQI) and the Trophic State Index (TSI), as well the hierarchical grouping techniques associated to the samples to compare the different causes of contamination of each source. The lowest WQI values were observed in the rivers Betume and Jacaré and they were associated with high concentrations of coliforms related to the disposal of domestic effluents from the riverside cities. It was observed a tendency to eutrophication in the Jacaré stream, Santo Antônio, Pilões, Papagaio and Capivara rivers demonstrated by the high TSI in the rainy season. The results of the cluster analysis were close to their Euclidean distance, and showed that there were similarity relationships between the different water sources related to their parameters of water quality. In this piece of work, we also used the Factor Analysis resulted in the selection of five factors of water quality indicators which are mainly related to mineral content, organic matter, surface runoff and the level of pollution. Thus, it is concluded that the water quality of the São Francisco river tributaries is at a strong tendency towards contamination and that its tributaries need a constant monitoring for the environmental management decisions to be the most adequate for the sustainable survival of the riverside communities.
