title: A case of bilateral hypertrophy in the chelae of a male specimen of Minuca rapax (Smith, 1870) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Ocypodidae)

description: Abstract The present study describes the first record of bilaterally hypertrophied chelipeds in a male fiddler crab, Minuca rapax (Smith, 1870), collected in the mangrove area near the city of Jaguaribe, located in the northern portion of Itamaracá Island in Pernambuco, Brazil. This particular specimen was captured by hand as it emerged from its burrow. Of the total 126 individuals (48 females and 78 males) of the genus Minuca (Bott, 1954) captured, only one presented chelipeds similar in size and shape. Some of the causes of malformation in decapods have been attributed to a double generation of growth areas or non-synchronous regenerative coordination in wound healing. Due to the lack of studies on the definitive cause of these abnormalities and deformations, further investigations are required to determine the roles of individuals with abnormalities within populations as well as the principal causes of these abnormalities.

title: ASSESSMENT OF LEGUMES WITH POTENTIAL USE AS GREEN MANURE IN THE COASTAL TABLELANDS OF PIAUÍ STATE, BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT Green manure may lead to physical, chemical, and biological improvements to the soil. However, the information on its use in the Brazilian Northeast is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the phenological cycle and phytomass productivity of seven legume species. This study was conducted in the second semester of 2015 in a completely randomized design with seven treatments and four replications. Plant height, fresh mass of shoot (FMS), dry mass of shoot (DMS), fresh mass of root (FMR), and dry mass of root (DMR) were determined at 100 days after sowing. Germination, flowering, and pod maturation were also assessed. The highest averages of FMS were observed in Crotalaria breviflora and Crotalaria mucronata, followed by Canavalia ensiformis, whereas the highest averages of DMS were observed in C. breviflora, C. ensiformis, C. mucronata, and Cajanus cajan cv. IAPAR 43. The highest averages of FMR were obtained by C. breviflora and C. mucronata, followed by C. cajan cv. Fava Larga. The species C. mucronata, C. cajan cv. IAPAR 43, and C. breviflora presented the highest averages of DMR. In addition, C. juncea, C. ensiformis, and C. cajan cv. IAPAR 43 were the earlier species regarding flowering, while C. cajan cv. Fava Larga was the later species. C. juncea was the earliest among all studied species regarding pod maturation. The tested legume species obtained promising initial results during the assessment period, being able to meet the expectations of biomass production and contributing to soil sustainability in this region.

title: Urban accumulation downturn in Brazilian cities: the state crisis in view of the market crisis

description: Abstract The simultaneity between the economic crisis of the Brazilian state and the crisis of the real estate market raises the hypothesis that there has been a downturn in the urban accumulation process in Brazilian cities. Both crises are situated in the broader context of the global economic crisis that has been affecting developed and peripheral capitalist countries since 2008. In Brazil, it has been associated with a political governability crisis that has had implications for governance arrangements based on public-private partnerships, and also for entrepreneurship models that have supported large urban projects conducted by strategic planning policies in states and metropolitan municipalities in recent years. This article evaluates the sustainability capacity of the urban accumulation dynamics in view of the downturn in real estate production.

title: CLARICE LISPECTOR’S RADICALITY TRANSLATED INTO THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING LITERARY SYSTEM

description: Abstract This article aims to investigate whether Clarice’s radical use of language was somehow achieved in translations and especially in the retranslations of her work into English, or whether this radicality itself made the Claricean legacy an obstacle to its absorption in the English-speaking literary system. I will deal with Perto do coração selvagem in Pontiero’s (1990) and Entrekin’s (2012) translations and the short story “A menor mulher do mundo” in Pontiero’s (1960) and Dodson’s (2015) translations.

title: The Principle of Connection and the Structural Disruption in the Electronic Judicial Process

description: Abstract Access to justice in the context of the advancement of e-process points directly to a fundamental and new principle, the so-called principle of connection, which will be the main object of this work. The worldview and methodology adopted is systemic, notably that elaborated by Maturana and Varela (1995). The approach will be deductive. The main objective of the work is to perform an analytical framework of the judicial process, interrelating the variables of the analog and digital processes and the systemic variables.

title: The supervisors’ perspective on comprehensiveness among the Cuban doctors participating in the Mais Médicos Program (More Doctors)

description: ABSTRACT Supervision in the Mais Médicos Program (PMM) contemplates clinical-pedagogical actions, with the aim to qualify care, and articulates with the relevant strategy of doctors’ fixation in primary care. This article analyzes the supervisors’ perspective about Cuban doctors of the PMM in the city of Rio de Janeiro regarding the comprehensiveness of practices, explored in its dimensions of the biopsychosocial approach of care with community orientation and the expanded range of promotion, prevention and care actions. Thematic analysis of the monthly reports of supervision were carried out, between 2013 and 2015, and focus group with supervisors. Results show that Cuban doctors in PMM develop a wide range of actions, with community insertion, preventive approach, planning of activities and good interpersonal relationship. Challenges that were not restricted to the PMM, in many cases, were related to an approach focused on the person, on the mental health and in the insufficient performance of certain procedures.

title: Impacts of metropolization on mass transit: a case study in the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia

description: Abstract The urbanization process of the Brazilian metropolitan regions has not been sustainable. Intense conurbation and dependence among its municipalities foster intermunicipal commuting, usually through mass transit buses, which circulate with low passenger turnover, regularly traversing urban voids. This research presents the impacts that metropolization causes on mass transit, through a case study conducted at selected municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia (MRG). Quality and efficiency indicators are used to evaluate the mass transit system. The results demonstrate economic impacts on mass transit and social impacts for passengers. The conclusion of this work shows that it is necessary to decentralize the socio-economic activities in the MRG and to make policies to promote mass transit.

title: Factors associated with non-emergency use of Emergency Care Units: a multilevel approach

description: Abstract Background Studies in Brazil and in several countries indicate that emergency services are often used as gateways to health systems, overburdening them and impacting on the quality of service provided to the population. However, little is known about this phenomenon in the Emergency Care Units (EUCs) of our country. Objective To investigate the variables associated with the inadequate use of two EUCs in a large municipality. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 756 individuals that analyzed individual, contextual and service-related variables associated with the inappropriate use of EUCs through a hierarchical multiple logistic regression model. Results The final regression model showed that individuals who had self-perceived their condition as an emergency and whose age was equal to or older than 60 years presented high odds to seek these services for non-urgent reasons. Conclusions Individual variables were associated with non-urgent use of the ECUs. Future studies of a qualitative nature may help to understand the reasons for the inadequate use of these services by these individuals.

title: Serum Fluorescent Advanced Glycation End (F-AGE) products in gestational diabetes patients

description: ABSTRACT Objectives Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are involved in the pathogenesis and complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Gestational DM (GDM) is characterized by increased glycemia and oxidative stress, which are factors associated with high serum AGE concentrations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of a serum fluorescence AGE (F-AGE) method as a screening tool for gestational diabetes. Subjects and methods Serum samples from 225 GDM patients and 217 healthy pregnant women (healthy controls) were diluted 50-fold in phosphate-buffered saline, and the AGEs were estimated by fluorometric analysis (λEx 350 nm/ λEm 440 nm). Results No significant (P &gt; 0.05) differences in AGE concentrations, expressed in Arbitrary Units (UA/mL × 104), were observed in the women with GDM or in the healthy controls. Furthermore, F-AGE concentrations did not change significantly during the pregnancy (12-32 weeks of gestation). Only the GDM group had a positive correlation (r = 0.421; P &lt; 0.001) between F-AGEs and serum creatinine concentrations. Conclusion It was not possible to distinguish women with gestational diabetes from the healthy controls on the basis of serum F-AGE concentrations.

title: Type 2 diabetes-associated genetic variants of FTO, LEPR, PPARg, and TCF7L2 in gestational diabetes in a Brazilian population

description: ABSTRACT Objective Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder that shares pathophysiologic features with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the polymorphisms fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) rs1421085, leptin receptor (LEPR) rs1137100, rs1137101, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARg) rs1801282, and transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) rs7901695 with GDM. Subjects and methods 252 unrelated Euro-Brazilian pregnant women were classified into two groups according to the 2015 criteria of the American and Brazilian Diabetes Association: healthy pregnant women (n = 125) and pregnant women with GDM (n = 127), matched by age. The polymorphisms were genotyped using fluorescent probes (TaqMan®). Results All groups were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The genotype and allele frequencies of the studied polymorphisms did not show significant differences between the groups (P &gt; 0.05). In the healthy and GDM groups, the C allele frequencies (95% CI) of the FTO rs1421085 polymorphism were 36.8% [31–43%] and 35.0% [29–41%]; the G allele frequencies (95% CI) of the LEPR rs1137100 polymorphism were 24.8% [19–30%] and 22.8% [18–28%]; the G allele frequencies (95% CI) of the LEPR rs1137101 polymorphism were 43.6% [37–50%] and 42.9% [37–49%]; the G allele frequencies (95% CI) of the PPARg rs1801282 polymorphism were 7.6% [4–11%] and 8.3% [5–12%]; and the C allele frequencies (95% CI) of the TCF7L2 rs7901695 polymorphism were 33.6% [28–39%] and 39.0% [33–45%], respectively. Conclusion The studied polymorphisms were not associated with GDM in a Brazilian population.

title: Cost of charging for water use in the Brazilian Cerrado hydrographic basin

description: Abstract This study analyzed the relative cost of charging for water use with respect to water users' production costs in the Grande River Basin, located in the Brazilian Cerrado, considering the principal charging methods existing in Brazil. The study was developed based on: the rights of use grant data surveys pertaining to water resources and the classification of bodies of water into usage classes; a simulation of charging for water use through various methods; and an analysis of the relative cost of charges on the production cost of the water users. The charging methods used by the following were studied: the Committee of the Basin of River Paraíba do Sul (CEIVAP), the Committee of Basins of Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundiaí Rivers (PCJ), the São Francisco River Basin Committee (CBHSF) and the Doce River Basin Committee (CBH-DOCE). The study verified that irrigated agriculture is the sector that uses the most water, representing 46.4% of the outflow granted in the basin. Considering the different charging methods, the collection in the basin of the Grande River potentially allows for investments of US$ 1.2 million (PCJ), US$ 920,000 (CEIVAP), US$ 426,000 (CBH-DOCE), or US$ 297,000 (CBHSF) in this region, leading to average relative costs of 0.68% (irrigation), 0.28% (human) and 0.08% (industry). For this reason, there is the possibility of implanting charges for water use in the Grande River Basin, with either the CEIVAP's or PCJ's method appearing to be the most suitable, given that the parameters of these mechanisms are in line with existing activities in the basin.
