title: Analysis of cutting capacity, preparation time, and apical deviation after instrumentation of artificial curved canals with the waveone ® and reciproc ® reciprocating systems

description: ABSTRACT Objective To analyze cutting capacity, preparation time, and occurrence of apical deviation, after instrumentation of curved canals with reciprocating Primary WaveOne ® and R25 Reciproc ® systems. Methods Twenty simulated canals with 35° bends were randomly assigned to the Primary WaveOne ® or R25 Reciproc ® . The preparations were made by a single operator. The cutting capacity was assessed by the difference in weight (on an analytical balance) of the canals before and after preparation. The time needed for the preparation was analyzed. The canals were filled with India ink and photographed on a platform before and after the preparation to analyze the apical deviation to a 1 mm length. The images were superimposed in Photoshop ® and the measurement was performed with the ruler tool. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results The WaveOne ® Primary system was more effective (in terms of cutting capacity) but had a longer preparation time than the R25 Reciproc ® instrument. Apical deviation was the only variable that did not significantly differ between the two systems. Conclusion The WaveOne ® Primary had a higher cutting capacity than the R25 Reciproc ® . Both systems maintained the original canal path. The preparation time was shorter for the R25 Reciproc ® than the WaveOne ® Primary system.

title: Corporate Reputation and Bankruptcy Risk

description: Abstract In view of the influence of corporate reputation on investors' choices and risk concerns, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between corporate reputation and bankruptcy risk in public firms. The investigation is a contribution to the burgeoning literature on corporate reputation associated with accounting, despite reputation being classified as an intangible asset capable of generating competitive advantage. Our sample included 4,578 observations (441 firms) covering the period 2005-2016. The overall score on the World's Most Admired Companies ranking was used as a proxy for reputation. Bankruptcy risk was quantified by Altman Z-scores (Zang, 2012) and accounting information for each year in the period was retrieved from the database Compustat Global. Our results reveal that corporate reputation has a negative influence on bankruptcy risk, reiterating the importance of risk management. When firms attract and strive to secure the favor of stakeholders, they increase risk for the same reason. However, this effect is counterbalanced by good reputation. Thus, corporate reputation is a valuable strategic resource with which managers can boost confidence among investors, increase the firm's credit worthiness and perpetuate the organization on the market. Furthermore, these results expand the literature on corporate reputation and risk of bankruptcy, and show signs that companies with high reputation have lower risk of bankruptcy and tend to honor their debts.

title: Bioethical conflicts in end of life care

description: Abstract This integrative review of the literature aims to identify the main conflicts between patients in palliative care, family and healthcare team from the point of view of the principialist ethics. A search was performed on databases, generating a final sample of 12 publications that, after being evaluated by the content analysis technique, enabled the emergence of three thematic categories: professional conduct – respect for the patient’s autonomy and the principle of beneficence; bioethical principles in the context of end of life care; and bioethical dilemmas in this context. We concluded that autonomy and beneficence stand out in the palliative care, ratifying the idea that the patient is the main actor and needs a humanized and comprehensive health care. In addition, we found some weaknesses in the process of education and communication in the healthcare team, patient and family relationship.

title: PARTICIPATORY MAPPING AS AN ANALYSIS TOOL FOR SPACES AFFECTED BY NATURAL PHENOMENA IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS, ATACAMA

description: Abstract This article aims to validate the participatory mapping (PM) as an analysis technique able to study agricultural areas in the Atacama Desert, located in northern Chile. These agricultural areas are confined to the valley bottoms of narrow and steep characteristics. This tool is used as a method to represent these areas through systematization, interpretation and transmission of spatial information. The data collected are from Laonzana community, representative of the resistances of agricultural villages dating back hundreds of years. These regions have suffered reductions in their productive areas, caused by natural phenomena, not being recovered for damages, the elderly population and the low number of farmers in recent decades. This study validated PM techniques, identifying numerous abandoned agricultural areas and others missing. This information is represented in thematic maps, as a result that rescues information from the collective memory, generating temporal comparisons of changes in agricultural areas. The results demonstrate the importance of this technique to rescue agriculture information highlighting the understanding of spatial information and the potential that it may have for studies of agricultural activity and the effects of natural phenomena in the Atacama Desert.

title: Profile of technical complaints related to single use hypodermic syringes marketed in Brazil after compulsory certification

description: ABSTRACT Metrological certification is an important Sanitary Surveillance tool. The objective of this study was to evaluate the profile of notifications of technical complaints of hypodermic syringes performed in Notivisa/Anvisa (Sistema Nacional de Notificações de Eventos Adversos e Queixas Técnicas/Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) between 2012 and 2015. The notifications were analyzed individually and classified according to the reasons reported. 4181 notifications were evaluated and the most prevalent complaints were: 'broken product in the sealed package' (22%) and 'dirt/stains inside the product/packaging' (15.8%). There were no significant changes in the profile of the complaints after compulsory certification, which, although indispensable, is not capable of replacing post-marketing monitoring.

title: Impact of self-reported fasting duration on lipid profile variability, cardiovascular risk stratification and metabolic syndrome diagnosis

description: ABSTRACT Objective We sought to investigate the impact of self-reported fasting duration times on the lipid profile results and its impact on the cardiovascular risk stratification and metabolic syndrome diagnosis. Subjects and methods We analyzed data from all consecutive individuals evaluated in a comprehensive health examination at the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein from January to December 2015. We divided these patients in three groups, according to the fasting duration recalled (&lt; 8h, 8-12h and &gt; 12h). We calculated the global cardiovascular risk and diagnosed metabolic syndrome according to the current criteria and estimated their change according to fasting duration. Results A total of 12,196 (42.3 ± 9.2 years-old, 30.2% females) patients were evaluated. The distribution of cardiovascular risk was not different among groups defined by fasting duration in both men and women (p = 0.547 for women and p = 0.329 for men). Similarly, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was not influenced by the fasting duration (p = 0.431 for women and p = 0.166 for men). Conclusion Self-reported fasting duration had no significant impact on the lipid profile results, including triglyceride levels. Consequently, no changes on the cardiovascular risk stratification using the Framingham risk score nor changes on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome were noted.

title: Cariology education for undergraduate Brazilian dental students

description: ABSTRACT This study sought to provide an overview of current cariology education for undergraduate Brazilian dental students. Data collection was via a Portuguese version of a 12-item questionnaire (Schulte et al., 2011) that was sent to all Brazilian dental schools (n = 219). The response rate was 57.0% (n = 125). Of the schools that returned the questionnaire, 84.8% supported the development of a Brazilian cariology curriculum. The units responsible for teaching cariology were predominantly operative dentistry (49.6%), pediatric dentistry (49.6%), dental public health (44.8%), and cariology (32%). Theoretical teaching of cariology (74.4%) and pre-clinical exercises (63.2%) were cited to occur mainly during the second year of the course, while clinical activities were placed in the third (71.2%) and fourth (64.8%) years. Among respondents, 76.8% of the schools included dental erosion and 86.4% included defects of dental hard tissues, such as abrasion, in teaching cariology. This survey was able to determine the panorama of cariology education in Brazil and to detect some differences among Brazilian geographic areas. The promotion of a workshop to discuss the topics that should be taught to undergraduate dental students and the development of a Brazilian core curriculum in cariology would be likely to reduce the differences in teaching cariology in Brazil.

title: Depression and frailty in old age: a narrative review of the literature published between 2008 and 2018

description: This article reports a narrative review of the literature on the relationships between depression and frailty in the elderly. We selected 28 articles retrieved from the LILACS, MEDLINE/PubMed and SciELO databases published in the last decade (2008-2018). The literature review revealed the predominance of screening measures for depression and the conceptual model of the frailty phenotype. Variations in the associations between the two conditions mediated by variables related to gender, physical, cognitive and socioemotional aspects, biological markers, use of antidepressants and risk of mortality were observed. The findings corroborate the combined impact of the two syndromes, which promote greater health decline, vulnerability and a high-risk profile. Although considered distinct syndromes, depression and frailty are strongly associated. There is a lack of national data on the combined effect of the phenomena in the Brazilian elderly population.

title: Theoretical proposal of systematization, storage and retrieval of data concerning Websites of third sector organizations: the Colombian and the Catalan case

description: Abstract Traditionally, the organizations have had an archive with their publications in paper. Now, the Website is the main online communicative outlet of third sector organizations, but yet there is no pattern to facilitate their collect and storage. This study presents a proposal for the systematization, archiving and retrieval of data of the Websites of third sector organizations. The article exposes the test of this proposal for the comparative analysis of Websites of Colombian and Catalan peace organizations. The object of study has been approached using mixed methodology: in-depth interviews and content analysis. The results of the test allowed us to verify that the Website remains the main communicative outlet of the organizations. Furthermore, as the proposed aspects allow to carry out an overall analysis of the Website. Ultimately, respond to the conditions of communication for change and social transformation that are relevant for the third sector organizations.
