title: THE COMMERCIAL HYPERBOLE OF URBAN EXPANSION AND ITS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

description: Abstract By consistent and clear urbanization process of the territory and the recent federal public policies aimed at the housing sector, the conjuncture formed by the advance of Brazil's agricultural frontier has sometimes presented exaggerated urban expansion in major cities in the State of Tocantins. The city of Porto Nacional, in turn, is a notorious example of this phenomenon. This urban expansion has been based on an excessive commercial character, leading to an allotment of the ground, through the division of the land into lots, which clearly exceeds local demand for new housing. The deliberate purchase of urbanized land takes the form of speculative practice, leading to the formation of urban voids. The key players involved in implementing these housing areas adopt strategies to maximize the extraction of income from the land to the detriment of technical criteria for urban and environmental order. By using ideas derived from both human and physical geography, this article seeks to highlight the links between this model of urban expansion and environmental impacts. So, the current and the potential negative consequences of urban environmental quality are problematCized, by taking the city of Porto Nacional as empirical reference.

title: Elemental Chemical Composition of Forest Biomass at Different Ages for Energy Purposes

description: ABSTRACT This work aimed to evaluate the elemental composition of different biomass components of the forest species Acacia mearnsii De Wild, Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden, Mimosa scabrella Benth and Ateleia glazioviana Baill, at their first, third and fifth year after planting, aiming at bioenergetic use. The biomass elemental composition was determined by quantifying the levels of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. The three ages, the four species, and the four compartments differ in relation to the elementary constituents. The use of trees at any age allows for energy use. The fifth year presents the best carbon and hydrogen values, being the best age for using the biomass energy of the different species. A. mearnsii presents the highest carbon values for the leaf and A. glazioviana presents the highest hydrogen values for all compartments. The leaf is the best compartment for energetic use.

title: Obtention of Porcine circovirus 2-negative pigs from PCV2-positive herds: strategy of handling

description: The present study describes a strategy to obtaining PCV2-negative animals from a PCV2-positive herd. Sixteen piglets were selected from females that had their IgG anti-PCV2 and viral circulation followed during pregnancy. These 7-days old piglets were transferred to the research unit. During the period from 7 to 49 days of age, serum, nasal and fecal swabs were collected every seven days. After this period, three animals remained in the research unit and were followed from 49 to 114 days of age, with samples taken each 28 days. No difference (p = 0.317) in viremia between gilts (n = 6) and sows (n = 10) were observed. Regarding the IgG levels, a significant difference (p = 0.0213) were found between gilts and sows. The piglets (n = 16), obtained from the two females, were transferred to the research unit. The animals between 7 and 10 and 49 and 52 days of age showed a decreased of the IgG title and absence of IgM; the serum and fecal and nasal swabs were negative for PCV2 DNA. After 49 days of age, the three remained animals negative for IgG, IgM and viral DNA for PCV2. In conclusion, the strategy of handling used herein allowed the obtention of PCV-2 negative pigs from PCV2-positive herds.

title: Land Use in the Surroundings of PARNA-Caparaó National Park: Preoccupation with Forest Fires

description: ABSTRACT As the occupation of agricultural areas is extremely important in assessing the fire risk, the objective of this study was to photo-interpret the land use and occupation of the surroundings of Caparaó National Park (PARNA-Caparaó), on its area facing Espirito Santo state, and analyze forest fire occurrence in the region. Photo-interpretation was conducted on a total area of 654.95 km2 comprising 7.88 km2 of eucalyptus, 89.10 km2 of forest fragment, 314.60 km2 of grassland, 13.03 km2 of reforestation of native species, 180.60 km2 of coffee, and 49.74 km2 of other uses. There is a relevant area occupied by reforestation in all the municipalities evaluated in the buffer zone of PARNA-Caparaó National Park compared with that of other studies. Forest fires have occurred mostly on roadsides, pastures, shrubbery areas, and around forest fragments.

title: Leprosy Control Program: assessment of implementation in districts

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed at assessing the implementation of the actions predicted by the Control Program of Leprosy (CPL) in district level of the city of Recife, state of Pernambuco. It is a normative assessment based on criteria and parameters guided by the construction of a logic model. The CPL degree of implementation in the district was ranked as partially adequate as a whole. As for structure, human resources and premises were the worst assessed criteria, and when the process is concerned, user welcoming, permanent education and co-management received the worst assessments. The evaluation showed that improvements are still needed in the CPL decentralization to local level.

title: Validation of underlying cause of death in selected neoplasms in Serrana microregion, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

description: Objective: This study aimed to validate the underlying cause of death from brain neoplasm, esophagus cancer, stomach cancer, leukemia and lymphoma in residents older than 19 years in the cities of Petrópolis and Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2007. Methods: The validation process was carried out by comparing the cause of death reported in the death certificate (DC) with the information contained in the individual medical records, which were taken as reference. Medical records were reviewed for 130 DCs. Results: The positive predictive value was 88.9% for esophagus cancer, 94.1% for stomach cancer, 90.0% for brain neoplasm and 100% for leukemia and lymphoma. There was no difference in the magnitude of mortality rates obtained from the original data and those estimated after validation. Conclusion: We concluded that the information about the underlying cause of death from these cancers in Petrópolis and Teresópolis counties are sufficiently valid to be used in epidemiological studies.

title: Chaosgraphies city

description: Abstract Chaosgraphies refers to a means of collective construction of discourses that navigates among science, art and philosophy. It uses cartographic practice as affective plotting, associated with the notion of chaos as a possibility of “becoming”. It can be understood as a “chaotic” means of graphical composition towards the creation of discourses, or as a corporeal/word-based adventure that seeks to establish tensions in the process of instituting and narrating experiences of objects. Chaosgraphies, therefore, are “deconstructed happenings:” rather than being “scorched earth” practices, they signal an intention in which experience problematizes logocentric speech by overturning absolutes and also through poietic transgression. Chaosgraphies city exercises this chaosgraphical means of constructing discourses whose theme is “the city.”

title: Cryosurgery for the treatment of pediatric plunging ranula: a conservative management

description: Several methods of treatment for plunging ranulas have been described in the literature, such as: surgical treatment including the excision of the sublingual gland followed by transoral drainage of the pluging ranula, needle aspiration, excision of the ranula, cryosurgery and CO(2) laser excision. Marsupialization and micro-marsupialisation can be also recommended primarily to treat oral ranulas. The aim of this paper is to present the treatment of pediatric ranula with liquid nitrogen cryosurgery performed in a 8 year, 6-month-old male, without local anesthesia. We have outlined the current protocol of cryosurgery recommended in the management of ranulas, both clinical advantages and disadvantages, with emphasis on the clinical outcomes and also pediatric patients' safety. At the 1year follow-up visit, the lesion had disappeared completely. There was no recurrent lesion. Liquid nitrogen cryosurgery for management of ranulas may become a primary treatment modality prior to surgery in children.

title: The hospitality in the social network Couchsurfing: Crossing the virtual threshold in Jaguarão, in the extreme south of Brazil

description: Abstract This article addresses a social practice mediated by a virtual social network of travelers called Couchsurfing. Translated as "sofa surfing", this practice is known for the free hosting offer, worldwide, enabling online and offline interaction between registered individuals, as well as promoting the exchange of hospitality, in which host becomes a guest in other travel situations and vice versa. In this research, the hosts and guests of the municipality of Jaguarão, located in the extreme south of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, were investigated. The objectives of the article are to identify and discuss the main interests and motivations for the network and Couchsurfing trips among Jaguarian hosts and guests, as well as to understand the system of exchange between guests and hosts inspired by the studies of hospitality based on the Theory of Gift , by Marcel Mauss. The research had a qualitative approach and approached the etnographic method. The methodological course included a bibliographical study and a cyberspace field research, with semi-structured interviews and observations. The exchanges take place online and offline, in different prisms. The research presents new challenges for tourism, leisure and hospitality studies in the context of emerging social practices, such as Couchsurfing.

title: Millennial Consumer Preferences in Social Commerce Web Design

description: Abstract Purpose: Considering the context in which social commerce has changed the way consumers search for information and share experiences, the objective of this study is to understand how three factors of web design (usability, functionality, and sociability) influence consumers’ cognitive and affective assessments and affect their intention to buy. Design/methodology/approach: Using the PLS technique on a sample of 230 millennials who are regular social commerce users, this study is adapted to the social context of the existing literature on website quality, as well as theories of social learning and consumer intention to buy. Findings: We used the results to compare the study’s 9 hypotheses, thereby linking variables of web design and socialization in e-commerce environments with components of social learning theory. Originality/value: This article expands the understanding of the influence of design in social network website environments on consumer assessments and, consequently, their intention to buy, highlighting the importance of design for affective assessments. It also provides relevant information to professionals on how to design their websites to improve consumer purchase attitudes and behaviors, allowing them to focus on how to improve the user experience through web design within the context of continuously changing devices and consumer preferences.

title: Connoisseurship Consumption Community and Its Dynamics

description: Abstract Purpose: This study aims to identify and explain the forces and tensions between the members of the connoisseurship consumption community and its dynamics. Design/methodology/approach: Adopting a naturalistic inquiry approach, we immersed ourselves in the field, visiting and observing consumers and professionals in independent coffee shops in North America: Toronto, Montreal, Seattle, and New York from August 2013 to July 2014. Findings: The research describes the connoisseurship consumption community and explains its forces, which are education, emulation and tensions between the members of the community. Originality/value: Our findings explain the amateur consumer’s behavior and the relationship of these amateurs with professionals and with the public during their consumption practices. We help to advance the study of heterogeneous consumption communities by revealing the tensions between the members of the community and the production of subcultural and social capital. Our research contributes to the consumer culture field by increasing knowledge of this social consumption phenomenon.

title: Positioning of dental entities on the National Oral Health Policy, in the period 2015-2017

description: ABSTRACT This study analyzed the positioning of national dental entities on the National Oral Health Policy (PNSB), between 2015 and 2017, in Brazil, as a space for relations of strength between agents and institutions. A documentary analysis of the related publications about politics was carried out on official websites, social networks and news from the Federal Council of Dentistry (CFO), of the Brazilian Association of Dentistry (ABO), the Federations of unions and the Association of Collective Oral Health (Abrasbuco). The monitoring was weekly, according to categories: actions and positioning of the entity on the politics, professional demands and relations with the political field. It was observed, during this period, that CFO and Interstate Odontologists Federation were the entities that most published about politics. The unions and representatives of Abrasbuco were more critically positioned about the successive changes in the General Coordination of Oral Health in 2015. The fact that mobilized all entities, with the exception of ABO, was the possible extinction of coordination, in 2016. It stands out the common position of entities for the defense of the expansion of the policy with new jobs in the SUS and articulation with the legislative power in the approval of bills, such as dentistry in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the transformation of the PNSB into State politics.
