title: A decoração da Capela de São Miguel Arcanjo em São Miguel Paulista (SP)

description: ABSTRACT The chapel of Saint Michael the Archangel , on the east side of the city of São Paulo, is known for its peculiar rammed earth architecture, but its decoration has always came second. In 2007, this issue became more prominent because of the wall paintings discovered during restoration work carried out that year. The urgent need to study these paintings to guide a conservation and preservation plan, however, resulted in few in-depth studies and the adoption of a formalist and Eurocentric view of the arts produced during the colonial period. Thus, this article, which is an excerpt from the author’s Master’s dissertation, seeks to present a non-Eurocentric approach to analyze the various cultural exchanges that occurred in that local and global historical-cultural context, based on primary documentation.

title: Through DNA sensors and hidden mitochondrial effects of SARS-CoV-2

description: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic brought attention to studies about viral infections and their impact on the cell machinery. SARS-CoV-2, for example, invades the host cells by ACE2 interaction and possibly hijacks the mitochondria. To better understand the disease and to propose novel treatments, crucial aspects of SARS-CoV-2 enrolment with host mitochondria must be studied. The replicative process of the virus leads to consequences in mitochondrial function, and cell metabolism. The hijacking of mitochondria, on the other hand, can drive the extrusion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to the cytosol. Extracellular mtDNA evoke robust proinflammatory responses once detected, that may act in different pathways, eliciting important immune responses. However, few receptors are validated and are able to detect and respond to mtDNA. In this review, we propose that the mtDNA and its detection might be important in the immune process generated by SARS-CoV-2 and that this mechanism might be important in the lung pathogenesis seen in clinical symptoms. Therefore, investigating the mtDNA receptors and their signaling pathways might provide important clues for therapeutic interventions.

title: Predictors of Emotional and Physical Symptoms Reported by Cancer Patients

description: Abstract This study assessed the association between anxiety/depression (AD) and physical symptoms reported by cancer patients in chemotherapy. Patients were assessed for distress (Distress Thermometer), AD (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), quality of life (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-General) and symptoms (Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale). The linear regression was used to identify factors associated with AD. Seventy-three patients (65.8% female, 58.9% low educational level and 83.6% advanced stage) were included. Sleep, breathing, pain, fatigue, physical and emotional well-being were predictors of AD. The prevalence of anxiety (20.5%) was lower than that described in the literature and of the depression symptoms (17.8%) was equivalent. The results underscore the importance of a therapeutic plan for targeting these risk factors.

title: Os conflitos das políticas da água e do esgotamento sanitário: que universalização buscamos?

description: ABSTRACT Among the multiple uses of water, human consumption stands out for its role in maintaining life. The objective of this article is to discuss the universalization of access to water and sanitation as common. To discuss this central issue of the universalization of services, the article develops four fundamental points: i) global overview of access to drinking water and sewage; ii) socio-environmental context of basic sanitation in Brazil; iii) access to water and basic sanitation as a human right, and iv) the unfolding of the definition of universal basic sanitation services in three spheres of water management, and how the understanding of the proposed universalization contributes to the development of the sector in Brazil. The article analyzes the historical contradictions around the concept of universalization and the existing mechanisms to achieve it and to measure its evolution.

title: Soil enzymatic activity under coffee cultivation with different water regimes associated to liming and intercropped brachiaria

description: ABSTRACT: This research evaluated the effects of coffee cultivation with two different water regimes associated or not with liming and the presence/absence of brachiaria as intercrop on the activities of the soil enzymes β-glucosidase, arylsulfatase and acid phosphatase. The study was carried out at the experimental farm of Embrapa Cerrados, using the cultivar IAC 144 (Coffea arabica L.), under a clayey dystrophic Cerrado Oxisol. Two water regimes (WR) were considered, WR1 with irrigation shifts throughout the year and WR3 with controlled water stress, for about 70 days, in the dry season. In each water regime, effects of lime application (with/without) and the presence/absence of brachiaria cultivated between the lines of coffee plants were evaluated. The activities of the enzymes β-glucosidase, arylsulfatase and acid phosphatase were evaluated during the rainy and dry seasons. Liming and intercropped brachiaria positively affected the activities of the three enzymes assessed in this study at varying degrees, depending on season and/or the WR. Our findings evidenced that intercropped brachiaria in coffee rows was the factor that most positively impacted soil enzymes activities.

title: Governança da água na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo - desafios à luz das mudanças climáticas

description: ABSTRACT Given the complexity of water governance in the Metropolitan region of São Paulo and the imminence of increasingly stronger effects of climate change, this article analyzes how chronic water scarcity can be further aggravated, either by excessive rainfall with consequent flooding and overflows, or by periods of severe drought, hampering both public supply and other uses of water, including environmental and ecosystemic services. We conclude that water governance must be improved in the metropolitan region of São Paulo with the participation of the government, the population and companies to anticipate the systemic planning necessary to minimize the impacts of climate change in the future.

title: Development of a Water Quality Index (WQI) for public supply in the Vale do Rio Pardo region, RS, Brazil

description: Abstract This research developed a Water Quality Index (WQI) for public supply in the Vale do Rio Pardo Region, RS, Brazil (WQI-VRP), from the database of the 13th Regional Health Coordination, totaling 1175 samples. A filtration process resulted in 285 samples with the variables free residual chlorine, turbidity, apparent color, pH, fluoride, total coliforms and Escherichia coli. For water consumption purposes, the Water Quality Index developed by the Sanitation Company of Goiás, Brazil, was used. A multivariate calibration of the weights of importance of the parameters included in the original index was performed, resulting in the WQI-VRP. Comparing the medians of the two indexes, it was found that there were significant differences (p&lt;0.05), qualifying the WQI-VRP as more restrictive. The results indicated that 89.8% of the samples were classified as non-compliant samples by WQI-VRP, while 10.2% were classified as compliant samples. Of the 285 samples analyzed, 72 samples of chlorine, 12 of total coliform, 5 of E. coli, 2 of color, 200 of fluoride and 26 of pH, were below or above the minimum or maximum values required by Brazilian legislation. The pH and fluoride correspond to the critical variables of the study region, as they were the parameters that showed the greatest increases in relative weights when comparing the original index with the calibrated one. These results confirm the use of the WQI-VRP as an efficient tool to assess the quality of drinking water in Brazilian subtropical and temperate lotic systems.

title: Ex vivo biomechanical testing of Funkquist B dorsal laminectomy between the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae in dogs

description: ABSTRACT: Dorsal laminectomy is routinely performed for spinal cord compressions or stenosis of the cervical vertebral canal. However, despite good results, relevant complications have been described in dogs. Considering the incomplete understanding of the necessity for complementary surgical stabilization after performing laminectomies in the cervical region, this study compared the resistance and range of motion (ROM) of the cervical spinal column subjected to Funkquist B laminectomy between the sixth and seventh vertebrae in dogs. Forty-four cervical vertebral columns (C2-T1) of dogs, with an average weight of 26.2±3.8 kg, were selected using radiography and computed tomography. Four experimental groups (n=11) were established according to the mechanical test: two control groups (flexion and extension control) and two laminectomy groups (flexion and extension laminectomies). Numerical results of the maximum load for measuring the resistance and ROM of the columns of the two control groups and the two laminectomy groups were compared. The laminectomy groups showed a lower maximum load, regardless of the mechanical test performed (P&lt;0.001). The ROM was not influenced by laminectomy, the type of mechanical test (ventral flexion or extension), or its interaction (P&lt;0.05). There was no interaction between the effect of the laminectomy factors (yes or no) and the effect of the mechanical tests for ventral flexion or extension (P&lt;0.05). In conclusion, Funkquist B dorsal cervical laminectomy between C6 and C7 decreases mechanical resistance with a supraphysiological loading force but does not alter the ROM, suggesting that it can be used without additional mechanical stabilization in dogs.
