title: Inelastic second-order analysis of steel columns under minor-axis bending

description: Abstract The inelastic second-order behavior of steel structural columns under minor-axis bending is presented in this article. To study this behavior, a nonlinear frame element formulation is adopted in which the steel's plasticity process is accompanied at the nodal points of each finite element through the refined plastic-hinge method (RPHM). A tangent modulus approach is employed in order to consider the stiffness degradation in function of the internal forces' variation, and the second-order effects, residual stresses and geometric imperfections are considered in the modeling of column behavior. As a criterium for defining the ultimate limit state of the column cross-section, strength surfaces are adopted. These surfaces describe the interaction between the axial force and bending moment (N-M interaction diagrams). To solve the nonlinear equilibrium equation for the structural system, the Newton-Raphson method is used, coupled with continuation strategies. Columns with different slenderness, boundary and loading conditions are analyzed, and the results obtained are comparable to those found by other researchers. The results lead to the conclusion that the numerical approach adopted in this study can be used for a better behavioral understanding of the steel column under weak-axis bending.

title: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor simulating periapical cyst: case report

description: ABSTRACT The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign, non-invasive tumor and has a slow growth. Its preferred location is the anterior maxillary area, most often causing root displacement, more rarely resorption and mostly affects young women. Being asymptomatic, this injury is discovered upon routine radiographic examination, in which, in most cases, a unilocular, radiolucent image is observed and it may have some degree of calcification within the lesion. This work aims to report the case of a 14-year-old patient who attended the Lauro Wanderley University Hospital (UFPB), complaining of increased volume over a period of 8 months, in the region of non-vital tooth 21. The CT scan showed well-delimited unilocular, radiolucent lesion, with buccal cortex resorption. The proposed treatment plan involved enucleation, followed by peripheral ostectomy and bone graft with alloplastic materials. Because of its benign character, encapsulated and slow growing, the treatment of choice for adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is conservative, the surgical enucleation of the injury being advocated. The excised piece was sent for histopathological analysis, where the AOT diagnosis was confirmed. After 7 months, new bone formation was observed without signs of recurrence.

title: Education in Business Administration High and Services Quality Perception: a SERVQUAL scale application

description: ABSTRACT The institutional evaluation instruments establishment, able to recognize the student perception, has its role of fundamental importance for the adequate educational services offer. From this principle, this paper aims to verify, through the SERVQUAL, the perceived quality of the administration students in a private school in the South of Minas Gerais. We have performed a descriptive research. Data were collected through the SERVQUAL questionnaire adapted to educational evaluation. The research base corresponded to the students last period of the Administration course. They were selected because of the longevity of their contact with the course and institution. Data analysis involved descriptive techniques (frequency distribution) and multivariate (cluster analysis and discriminating). In its results the work could identify well evaluated variables, also structures, processes and behaviors that must be perfected. The use of statistical techniques allowed the identification of two groups (called "more demanding" and "less demanding") and the attributes responsible for dissent, which serves as a parameter for prioritizing improvement processes. All organization possesses customers with different quality expectations. The higher education institutions are no exception for this rule. Thus, only the identification of key attributes for the perception of the quality and its careful they can initiate analysis an effective processes of improvement.

title: The doctor-elderly patient relationship in cinema: visions of care

description: Abstract This article aims to describe different views of care through the doctor-elderly patient relationship as addressed in feature films. Research was carried out based on national and international filmography, seeking films containing scenes in which the doctor-elderly patient relationship was portrayed in different ways. In the ten films analyzed, it was possible to identify expectations regarding the care of the elderly patient, both from the patient’s and their family’s view, describing the feelings and socio-cultural values present in the interrelationship established during the professional practice of medicine. It was concluded that cinematographic language is useful for the training of physicians, who should be concerned with the human aspect of their work, as well as for the interpretation of elements involving the complex doctor-patient relationship, particularly among the elderly.

title: The impact of store satisfaction on consumer responses in out-of-stock situations

description: Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to test a conceptual model by means of which we try to establish the influence of store satisfaction and other variables (gender, mobility and availability of alternative stores) on consumers’ responses to out-of-stock (OOS) situations. Design/methodology/approach: The authors used a standardized questionnaire to gather data on consumer responses to OOS and then analyzed determinants including store satisfaction (for which reliability, validity and unidimensionality were tested). The survey was conducted in the four largest cities in Serbia. All respondents were interviewed randomly, through telephone calls, whereby 392 responses were gathered. The established hypotheses were tested by means of a multinomial logit model with the use of marginal effects. Findings: The results show that store satisfaction significantly affects three out-of-stock responses (store switching, postponement and product switching), whereas, positively in the case of product switching and postponement and negatively in the case of store switching. The results also show that store satisfied consumers, regardless of other factors, are not likely to switch stores in out-of-stock situations. Originality/value: As well as managerial implications, this paper included store satisfaction as an antecedent of consumer OOS responses for the first time. In addition, the impact of this variable on OOS responses was analyzed at both levels of the availability of alternative stores, gender and mobility.

title: Perspectives of the Regional Planning of Paraíba Valley and North Coast: Milestones and Institutionalization of the Metropolitan Region in the Action Plan of the Macro-metropolis of São Paulo

description: Abstract This article presents a reinterpretation of the history of the regional planning centered in the Paraiba Valley and North Coast of São Paulo and in the main studies and plans developed since the 1940s. With this proposal, the recent historical period could be better placed in relation to the institutionalization of the metropolitan area (2012), the Action Plan of the Macro-metropolis of São Paulo (2014), and the Statute of the Metropolis (2015), and issues to be discussed were raised with the preparation of the Integrated Plan for Urban Development (PDUI). Thus, the ongoing debates regarding the drafting of the new regional plan (metropolitan) become more qualified to enforce a critical view and questions concerning the current historical contradiction, featuring side by side, the tendency of the planning required for the validation of a reinforced hegemonic project of social and territorial disparities and the upward movement of new agents for consistent participatory processes and social justice.

title: NITROGEN AND POTASSIUM IN SAFFLOWER: CHLOROPHYLL INDEX, BIOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS AND WATER USE EFFICIENCY

description: ABSTRACT Safflower crops is usually intended for production of seeds to oil extraction. The objective of this work was to evaluate the chlorophyll index, biometric characteristics and water use efficiency of safflower plants grown under different nitrogen and potassium rates and controlled soil water tension. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in pots containing 8 dm3 of a Oxisol. A complete randomized block experimental design in a 5x5 factorial arrangement was used, with four replications, consisting of five nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 mg dm-3) and five potassium rates (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg dm-3). The safflower number of leaves, stem diameter, chlorophyll index, number of capitula, shoot, root and total dry weights, water consumption and water use efficiency were evaluated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (F test) at 5% of probability and to polynomial regression. The nitrogen and potassium fertilization, as independent factors, affected the safflower plants. The chlorophyll index, biometric characteristics and water use efficiency of safflower showed better responses under nitrogen rates of 82 to 168 mg dm-3. The responses of chlorophyll index, biometric characteristics and water use efficiency of safflower increased 10 to 60% with potassium fertilization.

title: Assessment of sodium fluoride 2% as a new method of disinfecting extracted human teeth

description: ABSTRACT Objective: Investigate the action of sodium fluoride 2% as a new method of disinfecting/sterilizing extracted human teeth, using E. faecalis. Methods: The survival rate of E. faecalis ATCC 29212 was assessed, in terms of absorbance from the culture media, using a spectrophotometer. The sterilization assessment was carried out in the following groups: Group I (GI) - control; GII - autoclave; GIII - sodium fluoride seven days; GIV - sodium fluoride 14 days. Results: When using the autoclave and sodium fluoride solution (2%), the quantity of bacteria reduced significantly when compared to the control group (p &lt;0.001). Statistically significant differences were also found when the experimental groups were compared with each other (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that sodium fluoride 2% solution can be considered a new disinfection method based on its capacity to reduce the load of E. faecalis.

title: Natural Regeneration of Plant Species in Revegetated Mining Areas

description: ABSTRACT Mining activities causes severe environmental degradation. In light of the activity impacts, the legislation determine the development and implementation of Recovery of Degraded Areas Plans (PRDA) as a measure to restore the degraded environment. This study aimed to evaluate the mining areas rehabilitated by planting Eucalyptus sp. or native species, using parameters such as composition, implanted floristic diversity and conditions of natural regeneration. We identified 41 species in 39 genera and 22 families, and noted 16 new regenerating species in the whole area. The floristic survey revealed lower diversity in the area with Eucalyptus sp. than in the area revegetated with native species Thus, the use of native species in degraded land recovery was more appropriate due to the floristic diversity.
