title: Catholic Church in Brazil and its Higher Education institutions

description: Abstract This article aims to map the higher education institutions owned by some Catholic organizations. The goal is to provide resources for a discussion on secularism by taking into consideration an important branch of the Brazilian educational system, given that university education attracts a great part of the efforts of Catholic institutions and is also responsible for professional training and for high level research. Catholic higher education institutions exist between what the religious bureaucracy expects – the raising of funds for the institutions that sponsor them or the production of knowledge in topics of these institutions’ concerns, for example – and the demands of the state boards that control university teaching and research. Catholic universities’ responses to these constrictions can be measured by the kinds of major degrees offered or by the knowledge areas emphasized in their budgets; therefore, it is possible to unveil their investment profile. Moreover, considering the context of Brazilian universities as a whole, it is viable to establish classification standards allowing this research to describe a topography of these institutions, both in a geographical, literal meaning, as well as in a sociological one using the concept created by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. The fact that most of the analyzed institutions offer only undergraduate degrees – the majority of which consisting of Pedagogy courses and Licentiate Degrees – allows the paper to affirm that these institutions hold a dominated position in what concerns scientific innovation and, at the same time, a dominating position in the dissemination of the existing knowledge.

title: Government provision programs: profile and motivations of physicians who migrated from Provab to the More Doctors Program in 2016

description: The Primary Care Professional Valorization Program (Provab) and the More Doctors Program are different strategies that were adopted simultaneously by the Brazilian Ministry of Health to tackle the lack of primary care physicians in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS), and they have the converging objective of recruiting Brazilians to work in vulnerable areas around the country. This paper analyzes the profiles and motivations of Provab professionals who migrated to the More Doctors Program in 2016. Secondary data from a Provab monitoring survey carried out by the Ministry of Health were used. The results showed that Provab attracted recently graduated physicians and suggest that the 10% bonus offered to graduates is making Provab a viable alternative to accessing the More Doctors Program for inexperienced physicians who have not yet chosen their career paths, but who are increasingly enthusiastic with regard to primary care.

title: Marketing of food and beverage in Brazil: scientific literature review on regulation and self-regulation of advertisements

description: The effects of marketing strategies for promotion of foods and beverages have been investigated due to its potential impacts on populations’ food choices, particularly among children and adolescents. The paper presents an academic literature review on regulation and self-regulation of food and beverage advertisements in Brazil, based on search performed in electronic databases. Majority of studies were based on law analysis or qualitative study of advertisements. There are sufficient evidences on the need for government regulation of advertisements addressed to children and adolescents complementarily to institutional self-regulation in order to tackle ethical transgressions on food and beverage advertisements identified in Brazil. Additionally, there should be imposition of rigorous penalties for noncompliance to ethical rules and proposition of incentives towards actions encouraging healthy food consumption patterns, in order to comprise an actual system for promotion of public health.

title: Increasing healthcare access and changing the model: an experience with the More Doctors Program

description: In order to meet demands from the population and from mayors that access to primary care be increased, the Federal Government launched the More Doctors Program in 2013. Among other structuring objectives, this program promoted emergency provision of physicians. By presenting the experience of a municipality for which this demand was met, this paper discusses the sustainability of increases in primary care coverage and the assignment of physicians to these services, and the potential of the program to introduce changes in the healthcare model, and the factors usually associated with the recruitment and settlement of health professionals.

title: Future irrigation water requirements in the Ijuí River basin, RS

description: ABSTRACT Changes in temperature and precipitation intensity and frequency have influenced the water demand for irrigation. Regions that have agriculture-based economies, as in the Ijuí River basin, are often affected by periods of drought or excessive rainfall, which is harmful for agricultural productivity. This study aimed to evaluate future irrigation water demands of four crops in this basin (bean, corn, wheat and soybean), comparing them with a baseline period. Meteorological data forecasts were obtained from the regional climate model ETA 40 CTRL for the climatic scenario A1B, for the baseline (1961-1990) and future (2011-2100) periods. The one-dimensional SWAP model was used to estimate the water demand for irrigation. The results showed that, in the future, irrigation water requirements will be smaller for all crops. In the short term (2011-2040), water demands were similar to those for the baseline period, but from the middle of the century onwards (2041-2100), greater reductions were observed.

title: Genome of Leptospira borgpetersenii strain 4E, a highly virulent isolate obtained from Mus musculus in southern Brazil

description: A previous study by our group reported the isolation and characterisation of Leptospira borgpetersenii serogroup Ballum strain 4E. This strain is of particular interest because it is highly virulent in the hamster model. In this study, we performed whole-genome shotgun genome sequencing of the strain using the SOLiD sequencing platform. By assembling and analysing the new genome, we were able to identify novel features that have been previously overlooked in genome annotations of other strains belonging to the same species.

title: Catholic church and the pastoral and missionary experimentations in the 1960s: the Gioventù Studentesca experiment in Brazil.

description: Resumo The acknowledging of the crisis of the catholic religion in Europe during the post-1945 period, and the conviction of the pontifices and of the episcopal hierarchy that this phenomenon could be stalled or reversed, is the trigger to invest in innovative pastoral projects and in experimental missionary initiatives. Following the enthusiasm resulting from the announcement of the Second Vatican Council, in 1959, pioneer experiences gained distinction and international projection. In this regard, the present article proposes to discuss the missionary experiences of the Italian organization Gioventù Studentesca (GS), in the city of Belo Horizonte in the 1960s, and to understand the effects that the betting on experimental initiatives had on the redefinition of the traditional notion of the mission and on what refers to the affirmation of a new vision regarding the participation of lay people in church affairs.

title: Making the invisible visible: searching for human T-cell lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2) in Brazilian patients with viral hepatitis B and C

description: With this study, the authors hope to alert clinicians regarding the presence of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/-2) infections in patients with viral hepatitis B and C in Brazil. HTLV-1/-2 were detected in 1.3% of hepatitis B virus (HBV)- and 5.3% of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected blood samples sent for laboratory viral load measurements. A partial association of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and HTLV-1/-2 infection was detected in patients with HCV (HIV+, 27.3%), whereas this association was almost 100% in HBV-infected patients (HIV+, all except one). The high prevalence of HTLV-1/-2 infection among patients with hepatitis C was of concern, as HTLV-1/-2 could change the natural course of subsequent liver disease. The authors suggest including HTLV-1/-2 serology in the battery of tests used when following patients with viral hepatitis in Brazil, regardless of the HIV status.

title: Inferences on the effects of selection for feed conversion over meat quality traits in broiler

description: ABSTRACT: The intense selection process for economic traits conducted by the poultry breeding programs has been caused several changes in broiler meat quality. A database belonging to a selection program of a broiler male line was used to estimate heritability and genetic correlations for feed conversion ratio and meat quality traits, which were: initial and final pH, lightness, drip loss, thawing loss and shear force. Two-trait analyses were performed and the components of co(variance) and genetic parameters were determined using the Bayesian approach and the GIBBS3F90 software. The heritability estimate found for feed conversion ratio (0.52) showed high influence of direct additive genetic effects on the expression of this trait; therefore, this trait is able to respond to selection. The genetic correlation estimates obtained (-0.50 to 0.33) were indicative of important associations between feed conversion ratio and meat quality traits. The selection to improve feed conversion ratio may cause injury in greater or lesser degree for L*, drip loss (DL), thawing loss (TL) and shear force (SF) in broilers. It is recommended the monitoring of consequences of feed conversion ratio used as selection criteria or meat quality traits in broilers, due to its unfavorable indirect selection for these variables in this population. Breeding methods for efficiency improvements in broilers feed are suggested, which also benefit sensorial and functional properties of the meat.

title: Feedlot performance, feeding behavior and rumen morphometrics of Nellore cattle submitted to different feeding frequencies

description: ABSTRACT: Owing to the lack of information in the literature about the ideal feeding frequency adopted by feedlot systems, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of different feeding frequencies on performance, carcass traits, feeding behavior and rumen morphometrics of Nellore cattle. Forty-eight yearling bulls were housed in individual pens with an average initial body weight of 358.2 kg. The experiment was designed as a completely randomized block and the treatments were the feeding of cattle one, two, three, or four times daily (n = 12 per treatment). Orthogonal contrasts were used to assess linear, quadratic and cubic relationship between feeding frequency and the dependent variable. As feeding frequency increased, final body weight (p = 0.03) and average daily gain (p = 0.01; one: 0.98 kg d–1; two: 0.96 kg d–1; three: 1.18 kg d–1; four: 1.14 kg d–1) increased linearly and the feed:gain ratio decreased (p = 0.02). Also, as feeding frequency increased, hot carcass weight was affected cubically (p = 0.01; one: 246.9 kg; two: 243.0 kg; three: 263.1 kg; four: 258.1 kg). During the adaptation period dry matter intake variation was affected cubically (p ≤ 0.05; one: 16 %; two: 23 %; three: 14 %; four: 16 %). Increases in feeding frequency affected papillae height (p &lt; 0.01) and papillae surface area (p &lt; 0.01) cubically, as well as producing increases in the mitotic index (p = 0.05; one: 9 %; two: 11 %; three: 13 %; four: 13 %) and cells in proliferation (p = 0.05) linearly. Thus, Nellore yearling bulls should be fed three times daily in feedlot operations.
