title: Determinant Competitiveness Attributes of Brazilian Sun and Sand Destinations

description: Abstract Destination competitiveness models reached a development level in which all the characteristics that somehow influence competitiveness were mapped, albeit without identifying which factors are decisive for competitiveness (Crouch, 2011). We used the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) technique, adopting the domestic and international tourist inflows as criteria variables for identifying which competitiveness dimensions are decisive for Brazilian sun and sand destinations. Our results suggest that Access, Cultural Aspects, Local Economy, and Business Capacity dimensions have a greater influence on destination performance. In addition, the results indicate that it is not necessary to have a high level of development in many dimensions to achieve higher performance. Results provide practical guidance for sun and sand destination management.

title: Evaluation of the Influenza-like Syndrome Surveillance: case studies in sentinel unit

description: ABSTRACT The article describes the implementation of the Influenza-like Syndrome Surveillance in Pernambuco through an evaluative research that incorporated the degree of implementation, the political and organizational context analysis and its influence on the implementation degree. A logic model and a matrix of indicators were developed, and a context analysis was employed based on Matus Government Triangle: government project, government capacity, and governability. It was identified that the strategy is implemented in one of the six units assessed, that the degree is influenced in different ways by the context and that more favorable policies and organizational characteristics can contribute to the achievement of more advanced degrees.

title: Intersectoriality or sectorial dialogues? Reflections based on the experience of the Projeto Teias-Escola Manguinhos, Rio de Janeiro

description: The study of public policies can be construed as an interdisciplinary domain, which brings the focus of attention to its sectorial dialogue. In this sense, the health area provides ample theme material, and is capable of unifying the other areas. The Projeto Teias is born in the borough of Manguinhos as a proposal for an intersectorial public policy, despite the disagreements regarding its formulation. The goal of this article is to contribute to the contemporary debate of the intersectoriality, exploring mainly its frailties and dilemmas, in order to place it within a possible and new theoretical-empirical reference, based on the experience in the Projeto Teias-Escola Manguinhos.

title: INFLUENCE OF AN INTERVENTION USING PRACTICES RANDOM AND BLOCKED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF OBJECT CONTROL SKILLS

description: ABSTRACT Based on the Contextual Interference Effect (EIC), we investigated the influence of a motor intervention in the performance of object control skills. Participated 60 children of six and seven years old, divided into three groups: random practice (GR), blocked practice (GB), control group (CG). The skills were tested with the Test of Gross Motor Development - 2 (TGMD-2). The experimental design included the periods: pre-test, practice sessions (12), post-test. GR and GB took part of the intervention. Descriptive analysis demonstrated that children showed adequate performance, according TGMD-2. In post-test, the Kruskal-Wallis test detected a significant difference between groups. The Mann-Whitney test was indicated that GR was superior to GB. The intragroup analysis, using Wilcoxon test, showed significant improvement in GR (p = 0.0004) and GB (p = 0.004). We conclude that the intervention improved the motor performance of object control skills, and GR showed the best performance in the post-test.

title: Partitioning and Modeling of Biomass in Caatinga Legume Seedlings in Different Water Conditions

description: ABSTRACT The accumulation of dry biomass, its partitioning and the adjustment of equations were assessed for the initial growth of Piptadenia stipulacea (Benth) Ducke and Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan under water availability variation. The experiment was conducted in pots arranged in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Water conditions were evaluated using the percentages of reference evapotranspiration. Samples of the biomass were taken at 10-day intervals and used for the achievement of partitioning data and model adjustments. The short period of water scarcity in the initial growth phase of P. stipulacea and A. colubrina does not affect the establishment of these species, but different water regimes alter their root growth dynamics. The A. colubrina allocates more dry matter to the roots, while P. stipulacea sends more dry matter to the aerial part. The Gaussian, Lorentzian, Log-Normal and Gompertz models had excellent adjustments for the biomass variables of the P. stipulacea species, whereas for A. colubrina, we recommend the Exponential model.

title: Social Cost of Water Quality Degradation for Public Supply

description: ABSTRACT This paper proposes the evaluation of social cost of water quality degradation in urban reception basins of the Federal District, Brazil. We sought to elaborat a procedure allowing the economic evaluation of the loss of forest coverage impacts on welfare. The impacts of water quality degradation was estimated in two classes of residential consumers of public water supply. In the popular category (low income), the social cost was estimated at $ 7.0 million per year, which represents 8.9% of total expenditure on water consumers in this category from January 2003 to December 2008. In the regular category (middle and high income) the social cost was estimated at $ 12.9 million per year, the equivalent to 6.8% of total expenditure with water consumer in the period studied.

title: Probabilistic Model for Prediction of Prognostics in Myocardial Revascularization: Complications in Coronary Surgery

description: Abstract Introduction: Risk scores evaluate pre-operatory risk and present support for clinical decisions, however the performance of these tools in samples different from the original ones remains unclear. Objectives: Investigate the external validity of risk scores (STS and Euroscore) in cardiac surgery and the predictive performance of clinical features derived from the sample. Methods: Retrospective Cohort study conducted between October, 2010, and April, 2015. We used logistic regression to identify risk factors for hospital morbidity. The sample was divided for cross-validation, with 2/3 of the patients selected for model fitting and 1/3 for prediction testing. The performance of risk scores and clinical features was evaluated through AUROC and calibraton the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (H-L). Results: Data was retrieved from 472 patients who underwent coronary cardiac surgery in Hospital Santa Izabel da Santa Casa, BA. Mean age was 62.8 years old and 32.5% of the sample were women. Traditional surgical risk scores did not present significant discriminative performance for this sample. Factors associated with the outcome after adjusting for covariates were: age, previous myocardial revascularization and pre-surgical creatinine levels. The adjusted model presented similar discrimination and calibration values during training (AUROC = 0,72; IC 95% 0,59-0,84; H-L valor p: 0,41) and validation (AUROC = 0,70; IC 95% 0,55 - 0,84; H-L valor p: 0,197). Conclusion: Traditional scores may be inaccurate when applied to different environments. New risk scores with good predictive power can be developed using local clinical variables.

title: Environmental protection for whom? the instrumentalization of ecology against the right to housing

description: Abstract This article has two main objectives: a) to briefly present and discuss some technical terms, concepts and approaches that deserve to receive more attention on the part of those Brazilian researchers who devote themselves to the field of urban studies from a perspective concerned with social justice (and with the obstacles that constrain or prevent it); b) to outline a research agenda regarding the conflicts over land use linked to the ideological friction between the right to housing and environmental protection. After an introductory discussion on the concept of environmental justice and its relevance to social struggles - contextualising the analysis with help of the concept of 'urban eco-geopolitics' -, it is offered a critical treatment of the term 'environmental risk.' Finally, as the main 'laboratory' that provides empirical support for the arguments developed in the text, the paper presents what can be understood as an emblematic case study of conservative exploitation of the discourse of 'environmental protection': the threat of forced eviction under which favela dwellers of the 'buffer zone' of the Tijuca National Park (Rio de Janeiro) have suffered.

title: Tourism as an instrument of forest protection in the Amazon: a multivariate analysis

description: Abstract Purpose of the theme: the growing international demand for primary goods has generated exceptional opportunities for mining and agribusiness in the Amazon. In many cases, this is causing a progressive loss of land cover. Many strategies are proposed to contain regional deforestation, including tourism, which is seen as a more sustainable alternative economic activity for the region. Objective: the purpose of this study was to estimate the relative importance of tourism to the deforestation rates in the Amazon biome in 2015-2016. Methodology and approach: a cross-sectional study was conducted for the 91 geographical micro-regions of the biome, to which multiple linear regression associated to covariance decomposition was applied with Pratt’s Measure. Results: the results suggest that deforestation is due to livestock farming, agriculture, logging, rural settlements, protected areas and, among others, tourism. The study identified an inverse correlation between tourism and annual deforestation rates in the biome. Originality: the results of this study allow the proposition of the responsible development of tourism as a strategy for the protection of the forest cover of the Amazon.

title: Characterization of aquatic environments in the De Ondas River, Bahian Cerrado

description: This work sought to characterize the types of environments present in the De Ondas River, with the aim of obtaining information on their structural complexity and supporting public policies for water resource management that will allow the shared water use and will protect the biodiversity of the river basin. The De Ondas River watershed is located in the Cerrado Region, in the western part of Bahia State, and covers an area of 5.559 km². In order to perform the characterization, two stretches were demarcated, one in the upper part of the basin and another in the lower. Afterwards, a topobathymetric survey was conducted, and characterizations of the bottom and of hydraulic properties were done for both the rainy and dry seasons. The topobathymetric survey in the upper course showed altitudes ranging from 699.82 m to 714.06, whereas in the lower course these varied from 439.45 m to 446.91 m. Bathymetric profiles allowed the visualization of the structure and distribution of the bottom of the channel environments. The granulometric analysis of the higher part of the basin showed that sand was predominant (88.94%), while in the lower part boulders (76.9%) and cobble (23.1%) predominated. In the higher part of the basin, the water flow varied from 5.20 m³s-1 (dry period) to 9.07 m³s-1 (rainy period); and in the lower part, from 25.73 m³s-1 (dry period) to 66.44 m³s-1 (rainy period). The complexity of the environments of these stretches favors biological diversity in the river, resulting in different environments that aid aquatic species in adapting to the channel structure. The study of the physical characteristics of the De Ondas River produced a great amount of information regarding the micro-environments of the stretches examined, and will support studies related to aquatic biota and water resource management.
