title: Antiretroviral combination therapy, national anti-Aids policy and transformations of the AidsSpace in Brazil in the 1990s

description: ABSTRACT Socio-historical study, using the theoretical framework of Bourdieu, that analyzed the possibility conditions that allowed the construction of an Antiretroviral (ARV) universal distribution in Brazil and the transformations of the AidsSpace. The supply of ARV drugs was not an initial proposal and resulted from the pressure of social movements, but also from the medical field and the media. Later, from the articulation between militants of the Brazilian Health Reform, the law project that provided a different situation of access to ARV drugs was drafted, imposed major changes in the AidsSpace and buried the possibility of an Aids policy without access or with restricted access to ARV drugs.

title: Neuroimaging in cerebral small vessel disease: Update and new concepts

description: ABSTRACT. In recent years, small vessel disease (SVD) has been recognized for its major impact on cognitive impairment in elderly people, where it is often difficult to separate its effects from those of neurodegenerative diseases individually. SVD is a systemic disease, probably related to diffuse endothelial dysfunction, which affects the perforating arterioles, capillaries and venules in the brain. Although often asymptomatic, it is responsible for almost half of all dementia cases and a significant proportion of stroke cases. Imaging features found on magnetic resonance include recent small subcortical infarctions, lacunes of presumed vascular origin, white matter hyperintensity of presumed vascular origin, prominent perivascular spaces and cerebral microbleeds. The recognition of these imaging findings as a spectrum of the same disease caused by endothelial dysfunction of small cerebral vessels can allow an overall analysis of the disease and thus the development of more effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.

title: Proposal of a methodology for pre-selection of sewage treatment systems within watersheds

description: ABSTRACT The selection of sewage treatment plants within watersheds is a complex process when there are multiple outflows presenting different loads and watercourses presenting different assimilation capabilities. In this context, the present study aims to establish a methodology for pre-selection of wastewater treatment alternatives within watersheds. The methodology involves the combined use of water quality model, optimization technique and a set of technical and economic criteria associated with different wastewater treatment systems. To evaluate the proposed methodology there were considered different effluent disposal scenarios in the Pardo river watershed. Pardo is a major tributary of the Itapemirim river, watercourse located in the southern portion of Espírito Santo State, Brazil. The results indicated that the optimization model, that aimed to minimize wastewater treatment efficiencies within the watershed, considering watercourses self-purification capacities, selected treatment systems ranging from the combination of UASB and polishing lagoons systems to slow infiltration, treatment alternatives that presented the lowest net cost estimates. The incorporation of equity perspective between treatment systems increased the total present net cost associated with wastewater treatment within the watershed.

title: Comparative evaluation between mechanical and pneumatic cells for quartz flotation in the iron ore industry

description: Abstract Flotation plays a relevant role in the concentration of iron ores. Conventional flotation technology employing mechanical machines and columns and also circuits combining both types of cells have been utilized in the iron ore industry. The top size of particles in the flotation circuit feed is 150 µm and the slimes below 10 µm are removed as overflow in hydrocyclone classification. The conventional flotation technology faces difficulties in achieving tailings with iron grades lower than 12% and concentrates with SiO2 grades lower than 1%, and requires long residence times, resulting in large volume machines and huge footprints. The pneumatic flotation technology was evaluated in the reverse flotation of quartz from an iron ore sample of the Iron Quadrangle, Brazil. Bench and industrial scale tests were conducted in pneumatic flotation machines at low residence time. Both tests were carried out in open circuit stages with the objective of comparison with mechanical cells. The bench scale tests were carried out in three stages (rougher, cleaner and recleaner) in an 11 L pneumatic cell aiming at final concentrate with maximum 2% SiO2 while the industrial tests were carried out in a 25 m3 pneumatic cell in the rougher stage aiming at comparison with a circuit of five 14 m3 cells in the rougher stage and four 14 m3 cells in the scavenger stage. The collision and particle-bubble adhesion occur in a step before the pulp reaches the pneumatic cell vessel. The results indicate the possibility of achieving concentrates with a SiO2 content of approximately 1% and tailings with iron contents lower than 10% with three stages (rougher, cleaner and recleaner) without the need of scavenger stages. Furthermore, the residence time was three times shorter than that required for conventional mechanical cells. The speed of the pulp at the entrance of the pneumatic cell strongly affects the quality of the concentrate.

title: Forest Restoration Evaluation Through Indicators in Areas of Bauxite Mining

description: ABSTRACT The state of Pará ranks second in Brazilian mineral production, where bauxite accounts for 84% of total mineral extraction, with negative impacts on the environment as a result. The determination of objectives and targets using environmental indicators as a tool to evaluate forest restoration processes is essential in the recovery of these exploited areas. This study aimed at evaluating the efficiency of forest restoration techniques by means of 13 qualitative and quantitative indicators for monitoring post-bauxite mining operations. Permanent plots were implanted in revegetated areas with the use of two techniques: planting of seedlings and stewarding of natural regeneration. It is concluded that the techniques are efficient for the recovery of forested area. However, natural regeneration showed greater efficiency for restoration for Density, Erosion and Exotic Species indicators. Still, natural regeneration should not be the sole option in the processes of ecosystem restoration, since planting proved to be more efficient for some indicators.

title: THE SOCIAL-SPATIAL FORMATION OF THE SOUTHWEST OF PARANÁ

description: ABSTRACT The main objective of this work was to develop an analysis of the social-spatial formation of the Southwest of Paraná, presenting the genesis of the cities that make up the urban networks of Francisco Beltrão and Pato Branco. Various quantitative and qualitative methodological and operational procedures were used to carry out the research, including a bibliographic review, the collection of secondary data from several institutions, extensive documentary research in regional newspapers and bibliographies dealing with the theme. As a procedure, this work uses the category of Social-Spatial Formation. Therefore, it understands its evolution, its current situation, its historical change and its relations as a concrete-historical, geographically localized reality. This category is linked to the perspective of historical urban geography, as it seeks to analyze the historical process to unveil the pillars of spatial organization / transformation that result from the unity of continuity and discontinuity. As a result of the research, the objectives of unveiling the social-spatial formation of the region and its genesis, evolution and current situation were reached by linking this perspective to the urban network.

title: Surgery in the elderly patient: a systematic review of the literature

description: Abstract Brazil is going through a period of demographic transition characterized by an increase in life expectancy. Concomitantly, the number of surgeries performing on the elderly has also increased. The present study seeks to understand this process by means of a systematic review on academic databases in the last 10 years. From this analysis, it is shown that there is a need for knowledge of the legal framework and the ethical and bioethical aspects by health professionals to perform humanized care directed to this new patient profile.

title: Scientific journals in Latin America on their way towards open access: A diagnosis on policies and editorial strategies

description: This paper presents the main results of a study carried out in order to assess the current state of policies and strategies used by editorial boards of Latin American scientific journals, to promote use and reuse of open access scientific production, as well as to identify publishers and authors' perceptions and attitudes regarding these policies and strategies. Quantitative and qualitative analysis was carried out on data obtained from 516 journals and questionnaires applied to 400 publishers and 101 authors. Although most of the journals are free and considered as open access by their publishers, actually, in many cases they have established restrictive copyright policies or lack explicit information on terms and conditions of use and publishing of their articles. Institutional and editorial strategies to promote open access are scarce and have little visibility among authors. Sustainable funding and lack of familiarity with open access model are among the most important barriers for Latin America push these initiatives forward. Latin America needs a better and larger alignment and coherence of institutional and editorial policies with principles and strategies that promote open access, as well as further training for editors and authors.

title: Quality of Primary Care: assessment of the Family Health Teams

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the quality of Primary Care by Family Health Teams. Data from the Self-Assessment for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care and Basic Care Information System were used. It was analyzed the quality standard per urban/rural staff, professional composition and records of injuries/illnesses per team. Overall, 75 teams participated in this study, of which, 44% achieved satisfactory standard. It was observed that best classified teams have higher averages of doctors and dentists (p&lt;0.05) and that the lower register of people with injuries/illnesses did not represent a better quality of Primary Care. It was also noted that service evaluation from the team is important for health management.
