title: Computational Model and Parameter Extraction of High Speed Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Space Switches

description: Abstract A characterization technique, including a mathematical model involving extensive computational resources, is introduced to study the behavior of an electro-optical space switch based on semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The model encompasses the precise emulation of device nonlinearities and its transient performance, allowing the characterization of its transient response. The calibration process includes the evaluation of parasites from the SOA connection, mounting and encapsulation, and parameter extraction of the active cavity. The numerical results are compared to experimental data for various operational conditions, with close similarities. The characterization technique can be adapted for other electro-optical devices, such as directed-modulated lasers, amplitude modulators and electro-optical switches.

title: Quality of life in children with kidney transplant: Systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To identify in the literature studies that evaluate the quality of life in pediatric patients with kidney transplant through use of specific, validated instruments in Pediatrics. Method: Systematic review of the literature with searches conducted in the following databases: Medline, PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, SciELO and Cochrane Library. Main keywords: Quality of life, Kidney transplantation and Pediatrics. Results: A total of 366 studies were selected and eight observational studies were included that evaluated the quality of life of children with kidney transplant by means of evaluation instruments of quality of life. Conclusion: The quality of life of children with kidney transplant is inferior compared to healthy children. The post-transplant period presents better results compared to pre-transplant children. The identification of mental, physical and social conditions related to the quality of life of this population allows for better planning the assistance provided to them.

title: The consolidation of the term ‘right to the city’ in the city of São Paulo from the 2013 June demonstrations: a hegemonic articulation?

description: Abstract This article aims to investigate whether the term “right to the city” can be considered as a hegemonic articulation in the city of São Paulo and the analysis is performed using the Political Theory of Discourse (PTD), developed by Laclau and Mouffe, as a theoretical lens. We traced through history the emergence of the term and the groups that relate to the notion it portrays, having June 2013 demonstrations in Brazil as a starting point: an event that destabilized the sense attributed to a previous hegemony, the city of capital. The local government’s response to those demonstrations was the implementation of the Coordinating Body for the Promotion of the Right to the City, with the intention of establishing the term as a nodal point. By analyzing the discourse of the different groups, we conclude that the right to the city is a counter-hegemony that has an antagonistic relationship with the current hegemony. The main contribution of this article is to identify and analyze the different meanings attributed to the term ‘right to the city’ in São Paulo and how the mapped actors discursively interact to propose new practices for production of urban space.

title: Prevalence of exercise intolerance in obese adults undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing

description: Abstract We hypothesized that the prevalence of exercise intolerance (EI, peak O2 uptake &lt; 83%pred.) is not significantly affected by body mass index (BMI) in adults undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of EI and the influence of BMI in asymptomatic adults. The results of 780 adults (age 41 ± 13 years) who underwent CPET were evaluated. Participants were stratified according to BMI: normal weight (n = 227), overweight (n = 198), and obese class 1 (n = 155), 2 (n = 131), and 3 (n = 69). After cardiovascular risk assessment, the participants underwent CPET on a treadmill ramp protocol. The prevalence of EI was 20, 16, 21, 25, and 21% in the stratified groups respectively, and no significant differences were found. Predictors of EI were physical inactivity, age, and smoking. The prevalence of EI in asymptomatic adults is considerable, regardless of BMI. The obesity-related reduction in cardiorespiratory fitness seems to be as clinically relevant as in non-obese counterparts.

title: Physicochemical characterization and comparison of labels of beef bouillon cubes

description: Abstract This study aimed at determining the centesimal composition, the energy value and the sodium content in beef bouillon cubes and compare them with the nutritional information by the manufacturer. Beef bouillon cube samples were collected in supermarkets in of the city of Limoeiro do Norte/CE, and the levels of nutrients were determined by official analysis methods. The physicochemical analyses carried out were moisture, lipids, proteins, fixed mineral residue, total carbohydrates and sodium content. The beef bouillon cubes analyzed showed a low moisture content (3.23 – 4.23 g/100 g) and high levels of lipids (19.72 – 20.05 g/100 g) and fixed mineral residue (53.24 – 57.61 g/100 g). When compared to the data reported on their labels, all the parameters were in smaller amounts than the ones declared in all analyzed brands. The average sodium content found in the samples ranged from 758.5 to 815.5 mg/serving of the product. Considering that the results were based on a portion of broth and that these amounts are related to half a cube of beef bouillon, it becomes quite alarming the amount of sodium available in this type of product, since the food prepared with this ingredient is usually eaten alongside other foods, which also contain sodium in their composition.

title: Alternative vibro-dynamic compression processing of wood-cement composites using Amazonian wood

description: ABSTRACT Wood-cement composite (WCC) is a potential construction material for tropical regions, due to its physico-mechanical properties and resistance to decay and fungi attack. However it is important to test alternative production methods and wood materials that are easier and cheaper than those traditionally used, in order to create a higher demand for this product. The aim of this work was to evaluate the use of wood from four Amazonian species (Eschweilera coriaceae, Swartzia recurva, Manilkara amazonica and Pouteria guianensis) in the production of wood-cement composites through a vibro-dynamic compression process, an alternative method to the use of a hydraulic press. The inhibition degree caused by the wood to the cement cure, measured by the factor CA, indicated that all species were compatible with Portland cement (CP II-Z). WCC with densities higher than 1,100 kg m-3 (produced with E. coriaceae and S. recurva particles) showed compressive strength values higher than 10 MPa, which fulfills the minimum requirement for lightweitgh reinforced concrete blocks for structural use.

title: THE IMPORTANCE OF BRAND ATTACHMENT FOR ADHERENCE TO CAUSES OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

description: ABSTRACT This study examines the joint effects of brand-cause congruence, brand attachment, and attitude toward a cause of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on consumers’ intention to adhere to causes sponsored by a brand. The results of two experiments indicate that when consumers’ attitude toward such causes is less positive and brand attachment is low, the intention to adhere to a CSR cause is greater when the brand is congruent to the cause than when it is incongruent. If consumer brand attachment is high, the intention to adhere to the cause is also high, regardless of brand-cause congruence. However, if consumer attitude toward the cause is more positive, brand attachment does not moderate the effect of brand-cause congruence on the intention to adhere to the cause. The perception of persuasive intent mediates the influence of brand-cause congruence on the intention to adhere for consumers with low brand attachment, but not for those with high brand attachment.

title: Nutritional improvement of pasta with Pereskia aculeata Miller: a non-conventional edible vegetable

description: Abstract Nutritionally enhanced pasta was developed by adding dried leaves of Pereskia aculeata Miller, known as ora-pro-nobis (OPN). The OPN are edible wild plants, underused and unknow plants. The incorporation of OPN dried leaves flour (OPN-F) into a regularly eaten food product, such as pasta, could be a healthy and low-cost strategy to improve nutrient intake and promote an exploration into a new fresh market food. The aim of this study was to develop a pasta product containing OPN-F, improving the protein, dietary fibre, calcium and iron intake and characterize its physico-chemical and sensorial aspects. The addition of OPN-F decreased the cooking loss and increased significantly the dietary fibre and ash content, as well as calcium and iron, as compared to conventional pasta. An alternative and healthy application of non-conventional edible vegetable proposed was greatly accepted (80.0%) by the potentials consumers.

title: The production of care in the routine of Family Health Teams

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the factors interfering in the production of care in the daily work of health professionals from the Primary Health Care. Method: Qualitative research carried out with Family Health Strategy (FHS) teams, in the health units of Rocinha (Rocinha is a favela located in the South Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). To analyze the data, the thematic network proposed by Attride-Stirling was used. Results: The routine of Teams in the Production of Care was the denomination of the network formed by the following themes: scales of services of the teams; structural problems of Family Health Units; standardization of protocols; challenges for the production of care; and collections of micro and macro management. Final considerations: The production of care by Family Health Teams is challenged when they take care beyond what is imposed in the organizational protocols of the FHS, reflecting the complexity of working and caring in territories with social disparities.

title: Corn agronomic traits and recovery of nitrogen from fertilizer during crop season and off-season

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate corn agronomic traits in a cultivation subjected to different N rates, during the fall-winter (off-season) and spring-summer crop seasons, and N recovery from fertilizer. The experiment was set up in a randomized complete block design with four replicates, in a 5x2 factorial arrangement, with the following treatments: five N topdressing rates - 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 kg ha-1 -, using urea as source; and two crop seasons, fall-winter and spring-summer. The following variables were determined: plant height, height of the first ear insertion, number of grains per ear, diameter and length of ear, 1,000-grain weight, N concentration in the leaves and grains, grain-protein concentration, grain yield, N recovery from fertilizer, and soil-N supply. Nitrogen rates in the fertilizer in the fall-winter season had no effect on grain yield, although corn agronomic traits showed a greater reliance on fertilizer-N rates in that season than in the spring-summer, which is a season associated to a greater capacity of soil-N supply to plants. The quantification of soil-N supply enabled knowing the nutrient dynamics during the fall-winter and the spring-summer seasons, which may be useful to guide N fertilization of corn.
