title: Rio de Janeiro: moving toward a new metropolitan region?

description: Abstract In the state of Rio de Janeiro, the clusters of Cabo Frio, Macaé-Rio das Ostras and Campos dos Goytacazes were considered, by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (2015), as special cases to be followed in view of the presence of some “relevant characteristics of the Brazilian urbanization”. In our view, such characteristics may be related to an incipient process of metropolization, especially when we take into account that, today, Brazil has different patterns of metropolises, although not every metropolitan region has a metropolis as a pole. This article aims to reflect on the process that is underway in these clusters, to verify if it presents characteristics of a process of metropolization. Some demographic indicators such as density, migration and inter-cluster pendulum will be considered.

title: Burnout syndrome in informal caregivers of older adults with dementia: A systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Dementia is a constant concern for the public health system. Also, it impacts family members who provide informal care, often culminating in overload due to the emotional stress and physical distress of caregivers. Objective: This systematic review aimed to identify the consequences of Burnout Syndrome in informal caregivers of older adults with dementia. Methods: The search was performed spanning the last 10 years, in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The databases used were PubMed, SciELO, Web of Science and LILACS. The descriptors were obtained from MeSH and DeCS, which were, “caregivers”, “burnout”, “aged”, “psychological stress” and “dementia”. The selected articles included studies conducted with informal caregivers of community-dwelling older adults diagnosed with any type of dementia. The excluded articles had the following characteristics: the participants were not informal caregivers, the older adults were not diagnosed with dementia, or the main theme was not related to the Burnout Syndrome. Results: Initially, 1,208 articles were found. One hundred and forty-six were eliminated because they were duplicates. A further 1,033 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Twenty-nine studies were selected for full reading and 22 were excluded, giving 7 studies for inclusion in this review. Conclusion: The results showed that the Burnout Syndrome negatively affected caregivers’ quality of life and was associated with patient depressive and anxious symptoms and abusive behavior by caregiver. There is a need for studies with interventions addressing this issue.

title: REPLACEMENT OF CHOLINE CHLORIDE BY A VEGETAL SOURCE OF CHOLINE IN DIETS FOR BROILERS

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of a vegetal source of choline as a replacement of choline chloride in the diet for broilers from one to 21 and 22 to 42 days of age. In the first experiment, we used 1500 Cobb male broilers at one day of age, distributed in a completely randomized design with ten treatments, five repetitions and 30 birds per experimental unit. In the second experiment, we used 1000 Cobb male broiler at 22 days of age, distributed in a completely randomized design with ten treatments, five repetitions and 20 birds per experimental unit. The treatments consisted of five levels of choline chloride 60% (400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 mg kg-1) and five levels of vegetal source of choline (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mg kg-1). There was no difference between the performance parameters of broilers in the periods of one to 21 and 22 to 42 days of age. The use of up to 100 mg kg-1 of a vegetal source of choline can replace the use of choline chloride, in the studied levels, in corn-soybean meal diets for broilers from one to 21 and 22 to 42 days of age.

title: The design of an instrument to evaluate software for EFL/ESL pronunciation teaching

description: Abstract This study aimed at designing an instrument composed of 72 questions that evaluate the extent to which software programs teach pronunciation of English as a Foreign Language and/or Second Language (EFL/ESL) following the principles of the Communicative Approach (Celce-Murcia et al, 2010). The designed instrument was tested for reliability and validity. For this purpose, 46 EFL/ESL teachers used the instrument to analyze an online version of the software program Pronunciation Power 2. The participants' answers to the questions were subjected to reliability and validity tests. The results of these statistical tests suggest the instrument is potentially valid for evaluating EFL/ESL pronunciation teaching software.

title: PHYSIOLOGICAL AND SANITARY QUALITY AND OIL CONTENT OF CASTOR BEAN SEEDS UNDER DIFFERENT STORAGE CONDITIONS?

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of different storage conditions on the physiological and sanitary quality and oil content of castor bean (Ricinus communis) seeds. Seeds of castor bean plants of the Guarani, and IAC-80 cultivars were stored in two environments (cold room, and room conditions), using three package types (multifoliate Kraft paper bag, and polyethylene bag, and polyethylene bag with vacuum at 1 atm). In addition, another storage condition was evaluated: cryopreservation (-196 °C) in foil paper bags. Seed quality was evaluated before storage and at 4, 8, and 12 months after storage by testing their 7-day and 14-day germination, emergence, health, water content, and oil content. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with 7×4 factorial arrangement consisting of seven storage conditions and four evaluation times. Cryopreservation is the ideal condition for maintaining the seed physiological quality of the Ricinus communis cultivars used throughout storage. The oil content of the R. communis seeds decreases, and the incidence of Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. fungi increases throughout storage, regardless of the storage conditions.

title: The identification of Brazilian Portuguese regional varieties through intonational information

description: Abstract This study aims to verify if Brazilian Portuguese speakers are able to recognize their own regional varieties only by listening to the intonational information. It also aims to search for cues in F0 variation, which can justify the performance of the participants. The two experiments conducted in this study deal with three varieties of Brazilian Portuguese: the variety of Pelotas (RS), São Paulo (Mooca district) and Senador Pompeu (CE). Experiment 1 was developed with delexicalised speech stimuli, e.g., intonational information only; experiment 2 presented stimuli with a flat melodic curve only, e.g., with no F0 variations. The results based on the Detection Theory (MACMILLAN; CREELMAN, 2005) showed that the participants had a performance above chance. The results obtained in both experiments were different as we observed more recognition difficulties in the experiment with delexicalized stimuli. The tendency of false alarms also showed that intonational information plays an important role in the recognition of regional varieties.

title: Use of Surrounding Land Influences Forest Remants Composition and Structure

description: This study aimed to analyze the use of surrounding land of 143 sample plots in the mixed ombrophilous forest in Santa Catarina and investigate a possible relationship of land use with the vegetation status. We used a land use map in 2005 and vegetation data from 143 sample plots (SP) from the Floristic Forest Inventory of Santa Catarina (IFFSC) collected between 2007 and 2009. The surroundings were delimited by buffers of different distances from the SP center. Forest coverage and distance between SP and fragment edge showed significant correlations with richness and abundance of climax species and a negative correlation with richness and abundance of pioneer species (α=0.05) in the fragment. The landscapes with greater forest coverage and larger patches allow the best preserved forest maintenance and show less influence of the surrounding matrix.

title: SELECTIVITY OF SAFLUFENACIL APPLIED SINGLY AND IN COMBINATION WITH GLYPHOSATE ON COFFEE AND CITRUS CROPS

description: ABSTRACT: Saflufenacil is absorbed by the plant leaves and roots, thus the residual permanence of this herbicide can cause losses to the crop plants. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the selectivity of the saflufenacil herbicide, applied singly and in combination with glyphosate, on coffee and citrus plants grown in a sandy soil. Two experiments were implemented and conducted in completely randomized design with four replications. The chemical treatments consisted of three sequential applications, with directed spraying of saflufenacil at rates of 0.035, 0.07 and 0.105 kg a.i. ha-1, glyphosate at rate of 2.160 kg a.e. ha-1, the two herbicides combined at the same rates, and a control without chemical treatment. The saflufenacil applied singly and in combination with glyphosate was selective for coffee and citrus plants, which presented no visual toxicity symptoms. The sequential application of saflufenacil, singly and in combination with glyphosate did not affect the growth of coffee and citrus plants. The saflufenacil has potential for use, in combination with glyphosate on controlling many weed species in coffee and citrus areas without any interference on the development of these species.

title: Dimensionless formulation for human stability in open flows

description: ABSTRACT The stability of humans partially immersed in risky open water flows, resulting from urban flooding caused for example by dam breaks, or failures in drainage systems, or natural extreme events, is a topic of increasing interest because it involves the human safety in an environment that is more and more subjected to extreme events of hydraulic nature. The studies in this field of the applied fluid mechanics generally present equations that handle the results through dimensional quantities. These results were generally obtained in specific experiments for the evaluation of the stability of models of the human body. Intending to advance in the direction of a more general formulation, a dimensional analysis for the problem of human stability in open flows is presented here, showing dimensionless groups that represent the mentioned problem. Equations using these nondimensional groups were then developed using statistical analyses and approximations based on principles of physics and on data of the human body. The results obtained with the proposed methodology are of very good quality, presenting high correlation coefficients and good agreement between measured and calculated data.

title: Microtooth supernumerary included in Zygomatic root

description: ABSTRACT A supernumerary tooth is one that is additional. The diagnosis is usually made by clinical exam and routine radiographs, and the majority of such teeth are impacted and asymptomatic, without affect others teeth. The supernumerary teeth, can occur included or impacted. An early diagnosis is important in order to implement a suitable plan of treatment and prevent such complications. Ectopic inclusions occur at about 1% of the general population and might be present at many diverse localizations. In this article the authors review the literature around the ectopic inclusions and report a case of an intranasal ectopic supernumerary inclusion. The prophylactic surgical removal of the supernumerary teeth is generally the treatment of choice.

title: Linha Verde Urban Operation: limits and opportunities in light of the social management of land value appreciation

description: Discussions about the City Statute have been resumed, and the questions focus on its effectiveness, poor public participation and its use to legitimize policies guided by private interests. This paper investigates Urban Operations (UO) as a mechanism to recover land surplus value. Based on a study about the Faria Lima UO (city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil), the paper discusses the Linha Verde UO (city of Curitiba, Southern Brazil), which is at the initial stage of implementation. The analysis enables to draw conclusions that are both complementary and contradictory. On the one hand, it is necessary to recognize its potential as an important instrument to leverage urban transformation, dividing the costs of public action with stakeholders. However, it is possible to notice its low efficiency in the social management of land value appreciation, as it lacks mechanisms to ensure the appropriate distribution of public resources.
