title: Characterization of child abuse and intervention strategies in a city of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil

description: This study aimed to characterize the types of child abuse and interventional strategies in the municipality of Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro state, through the analysis of patient records from the Specialized Reference Center for Social Care - CREAS, between 2008 and 2012. Two hundred-ten records were identified and all information contained therein was considered to trace the profile of the subjects involved, the characterization of violence, and the interventions adopted. A descriptive analysis of frequency of data collected was performed. The results show that sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect were the types of violence most often reported, altogether representing 29.0% of the records analyzed. The offenders were mostly male, aged 31-40 years and the victims were mostly female, aged 14-18 years. The socioeconomic condition of the families was poor, with many of them (24.3%) living on an income of up to the minimum wage. As interventional measures, the victims were referred to individual psychotherapy (23.3%) and the offenders were referred to psychosocial services (28.7%). We conclude that, through the knowledge of such abuse in the municipality, the design of effective prevention and victim assistance programs can be structured.

title: Do the Growing Conditions of Trees Influence the Wood Properties?

description: ABSTRACT Currently, there is a little and sparse information about how the growing conditions influence the spatial variation of wood along the stem. Thus, the aim of this study was to compile the knowledge from literature in a manuscript for better understanding to what extent the growing conditions influence the spatial variation of wood properties in Eucalyptus plantations. The wood characteristics may present variations in their properties and can be caused by both genetic and environmental factors. However, how genetic and environmental factor acts on wood variation along the trunk is still unclear. Another point is that even with new genetic breeding programs, the mechanical properties of wood have not been considered in these programs, since the selection of new material is always based on the growing rate, cellulose and lignin content and wood density.

title: STORAGE OF MOMBIN FRUITS COATED WITH CASSAVA STARCH AND PVC FILM

description: ABSTRACT The mombin tree (Spondias mombin L.) is found in almost all regions of Brazil. Fresh and processed mombin fruits are increasingly demanded by the market. The objective of this work was to evaluate the post-harvest characteristics of mombin fruits coated with cassava starch and PVC film. Fruits from the mombin cultivar Lagoa-Redonda were harvested at physiological maturity in Limoeiro do Norte, State of Ceará, transported to the Chemistry Laboratory of the Ceará Federal Institute, Limoeiro do Norte campus, and stored for 8 days at 29.7°C and 59% of relative humidity. A completely randomized experimental design in a 3x5 factorial arrangement was used, with three coating types (control, cassava starch at 3%, and cassava starch at 3% combined with PVC film) and five storage times (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days), four replicates and five fruits per plot. The fruit skin color, external appearance, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), SS/TA ratio and weight loss were evaluated. The PVC film was effective in maintaining the fruit external appearance and decreasing weight loss. The use of cassava starch was not as efficient as the PVC film for conserving mombin fruits. The post-harvest life of fruits was 8 days for those treated with cassava starch or cassava starch combined with PVC film, and 6 days for the control.

title: Cretaceous carbonatites of the southeastern Brazilian Platform: a review

description: ABSTRACT: This paper reviews general aspects of alkaline-carbonatitic rocks of Brazilian, Paraguayan and Bolivian terrains. Although 30 such occurrences are known in literature, only the major ones have been thoroughly investigated. The carbonatites are of Cretaceous age, with two well-defined Lower Cretaceous and Upper Cretaceous generation episodes. A clear tectonic control by ancient structural features such as archs, lineaments and faults characterizes most cases. The rocks exhibit a large compositional variation, in decreasing orders of abundance from calciocarbonatites to magnesiocarbonatites to ferrocarbonatites. In some complexes, they form multistage intrusions. C-O isotopes indicate that, in general, the carbonatites were affected by post-magmatic processes associated with the topographic level of emplacement and low-temperature H 2 O-CO 2 rich fluids responsible for the increased amount of heavy carbon and oxygen. Sr-Nd isotopic compositions similar to those of coeval alkaline silicate rocks, ranging from depleted to enriched mantle sources, have been influenced by two distinct metasomatic events in Proterozoic at 2,0-1.4 Ga and 1.0-0.5 Ga. Sr-Nd-Pb-Os data seem related to an isotopically enriched source, their chemical heterogeneities reflecting a depleted mantle that was metasomatized by small-volume melts and by fluids rich in incompatible elements. Fractional crystallization and liquid immiscibility are believed to be the most effective processes in the formation of the Cretaceous carbonatites, with minor contribution of crustal contamination. Pb isotopic ratios yield evidence that HIMU and EM I mantle components played an important role in the genesis of the carbonatitic magma.

title: Multilevel governance in regional development: a case study of the Intermunicipal Consortium of Frontier

description: Abstract Given the complexity that social and intergovernmental relations took in the contemporary scene, classical theories of integration are not able to show better understand of the inter-relationship claimed. The theory of multilevel governance presents a new perspective to try to understand the relations on its various levels (governmental and nongovernmental), especially considering the endogenous prism (starting from the local and regional portions). The study aims to analyze the contribution, based on the study of the Intermunicipal Consortium of Frontier (CIF), of multilevel governance to regional development process in border regions. As a result it was found that the multilevel governance contributes to the improvement of intergovernmental relations, in federative context, and serves as a link between intention and realization of regional development from the ground, enabling the democratic participation in the process. It was also found that the Intermunicipal consortium are important tools for coordination and work as a development strategy, not only for the municipalities involved, but also for the entire regional surroundings because they enable to plan, implement and manage shared public policies to solve common experience problems, giving visibility to the region over other governmental levels (state, federal and international).

title: Profile of re-entry cases after abandonment of treatment of tuberculosis in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

description: Abstract Background Tuberculosis is still a major public health problem and has been worrying health authorities. Tuberculosis is directly related to social determinants, a fact that has been involving governments with intersectoral actions to reduce the vulnerability of the population to health. Objective To describe the profile of re-entry cases after abandonment of tuberculosis treatment in the city of Salvador, Bahia, from 2006 to 2015, comprising sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral factors of the individuals. Method This is a descriptive and exploratory spatio-temporal ecological study performed through secondary data available in the Brazilian Notifiable Diseases Information System. The data obtained were stored and consolidated for calculation of the absolute and relative frequency variables, re-entry incidence rate after abandonment, and Spearman correlation. Then, the information obtained was used to make graphs and tables. Results There were 1,611 re-entry cases with predominance of males, 30 to 49 years old, self-declared brown skin color, and the level of complete fundamental education, with tuberculosis presenting as pulmonary and HIV negative. The health districts of Cabula/Beiru, Subúrbio Ferroviário, and São Caetano/Valéria presented higher incidence rates. Conclusion The profile found is consistent with the individuals with the highest incidence rates of the disease, as well as higher rates of tuberculosis mortality throughout the country. The education level of the individual was presented as a crucial factor for greater re-entry to treatment.

title: Attempts at raising awareness of language and learning through collaborative writing in college

description: Abstract This paper is the result of classroom research with Radio/TV Studies undergraduates over a period of 16 weeks (60 hours) to investigate: (1) group cooperation/collaboration in the writing of two texts requiring online interaction; (2) students' comments about the language/strategies they practiced and learned, and the impact on their awareness of language and learning. Assessment of collaboration was based on the work of five groups. Comments about language learning/motivation/challenges were also expressed in a final presentation/portfolio. Interpretive analysis by the teacher-researcher shows that labor sharing is preferred, that learning is perceived to be more systematic because of the records of comments/corrections, and that students prefer to work mostly in class, which can be frustrating for advocates of autonomy in advanced language learning.

title: Maternal infant health in quilombo communities in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: We aimed to describe indicators of maternal and child health in this communities in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is cross-sectional, population-based study. Data were collected in households randomly sampled including 411 women aged 18 to 49 years and 234 children aged less than five years. Most families (73.7%) reported a monthly income less than minimum wage and nearly half of respondents (49.2%) had less than four years of schooling. Accesses to drinking water, sewage and garbage collection were limited. Most women (52.1%) reported the first pregnancy as adolescents and 35% reported four or more pregnancies. Preventive examinations for cervical cancer showed irregular and 15.1% of women had never been screened In relation to pregnancy and childbirth, 23.5% of women reported fewer than six prenatal consultations, 37.2 % reported onset of prenatal care after the first trimester and 44.4% did attended a puerperal consultation. With regard to children, 15% had low birth weight, 9.4% had chronic health problems and 40.6% were taking no vitamin A. The results highlight critical conditions access to public services, including access to care health.

title: Understanding of Loyalty Programs’ Participation Rules

description: ABSTRACT The understanding of loyalty programs´ participation rules is tested in this study within three experiments conducted to check the influence of the regulatory focus, prize type, and of the interaction of both. Experiment 1 shows that the regulatory focus somehow affects the degree of understanding of the programs´ rules. Experiment 2 shows that the prize type also affects the degree of understanding of the programs´ rules. And, at last, it is shown that Experiment 3 does not corroborate the hypothesis of the interaction of those variables on the degree of understanding of the programs´ rules. The conclusion is that the understanding of loyalty programs´ rules is higher to individuals in the state of prevention and of receiving utilitarian award, and that, however, there is no influence of their interaction. The study contributes to corroborate the matching effect and the hypotheses of the regulatory focus theory on the consumer behavior, also proposing managerial implications to loyalty programs´ managers.
