title: Relationship between land use and water quality in a watershed impacted by iron ore tailings and domestic sewage

description: Abstract Changes in land use and land cover in watersheds, together with population increases and urbanization of these areas, have caused negative impacts on surface water quality. Based on land-use types, we conducted a comprehensive water quality study of the Rio do Peixe watershed, a tributary of the Rio Doce River, located in the Iron Quadrangle, with different land uses/land covers. For this study, the relationship between water quality variables and land use types were examined according to the water quality index and principal components analysis. The water samples were collected from twelve stations located along the basin in two different seasons. The results of metals/semimetals concentrations reflected regional lithology, and in the case of iron, it was anthropic activities. Also, the computed water quality index values were between 26.8 and 74.9. The water quality was poor in four stations of the river basin in both seasons. Furthermore, the variables that influence water quality the most were E. coli, DBO, turbidity, nitrate, and total phosphorus. The multivariate statistics gave five principal components that together accounted for 58.3%, whereas analysis of score plots identified the formation of two groups with more perceptible anthropic influence. Finally, environmental impacts of the river basin, such as deforestation, erosion, domestic sewage, and iron ore tailings, were the main factors that interfered with water quality.

title: Confidentiality and privacy of information about patients treated by primary health care teams: a review

description: As part of the treatment process, a multi professional primary health care team has access to the health information of a user. Such access raises questions regarding the confidentiality of this information and the privacy of the user. The present study uses a review of literature as a basis with which to discuss this issue. A search was performed of the SciELO, Lilacs and BVS databases using the fixed descriptors: secrecy, privacy and confidentiality. While earlier articles discuss the issue in the context of a professional code of conduct, excluding community health agents from access, the most recent study, concerning the care of HIV patients, is more embracing. It can be concluded that confidentiality is an arrangement between the health team and patient, creating new perspectives for the activities of community health agents and regarding access to and the role of the medical records system.

title: Is gene therapy for limb ischemia a reality?

description: Abstract The concept of angiogenic therapy emerged in the early 1990s. The method employs genes that encode growth factors to promote formation of new vessels and remodeling of collateral vessels. Since the procedure involved in this therapy usually only consists of local injections of vectors, the process is minimally invasive, quick, and simple to perform. However, since the first clinical evidence of the effects of gene therapy with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was observed in patients with peripheral artery disease, to date only two angiogenic therapy drugs have been approved, one in Russia and another in Japan, which seem a very small number, in view of the large volume of investment made in pre-clinical and clinical studies. After all, can we conclude that angiogenic therapy is a reality?

title: TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF URBAN EXPANSION IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF THE PARAÍBA PAULISTA VALLEY

description: ABSTRACT This study investigates the President Dutra Highway, inaugurated in the 1950s, and its influence on the urbanization process of the Paraíba Paulista Valley. Supported on the findings of Villaça (2001), which point to regional roads as urbanization routes, the President Dutra Highway has taken on a primary role for the growth of cities. In the 1970s, the President Dutra Highway was an important vector of the process of industrial relocation from the Greater São Paulo (LENCIONI, 1998). More recently, the President Dutra Highway was again pointed to in the proposals for the adoption of Territorial Vectors in the State of São Paulo. By means of axial maps, the temporal analysis aimed to explore urban expansion and the urban regional road system. To this end, topographical charts created for the year 1977 and the database of urban roads existing in 2015, obtained from the Open Street Map (OSM) project were used. The cartography resulting from the integration index of the urban roads provided a spatial view of the intra-urban road system revealing indications of a dispersed urbanization process, thus evidencing the President Dutra Highway as a structuring element of the urban-regional space in the Paraíba Paulista Valley.

title: Health-interfering streets experiences: homeless people’s perspective

description: ABSTRACT Health, understood as a multidetermined attribute, characterizes the political and social organization of a country. From Brazilian 1988’s Federal Constitution onwards, health has been understood as an individual right. Homeless people create important obstacles on the accomplishment of such right. The objective of this study is to understand the difficulties encountered on the streets that impact the perception and health state of adults living on the streets of a municipality in Zona da Mata Region, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A qualitative methodological approach was applied through semi-structured interviews and observation recorded on a field diary. The research interviewed 20 people living on the streets. Main difficulties involved climate exposition, as rain and cold; prejudice; vulnerability to physical and sexual abuse; obstacles to access food, drinking water and toilets; difficulties to access certain social spaces and health treatment. By knowing the situations that determine the various levels of health among people living on the streets, it is possible to build strategies and policies so to cope with their actual needs. Inter-sectoriality of public action is still a great challenge, despite necessary to accomplish a right that is fundamental and universal: health.

title: Mechanical Properties of Thermally Modified Corymbia Citriodora and Eucalyptus Saligna Woods

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed at evaluating thermal modification in mechanical properties of Corymbia citriodora and Eucalyptus saligna woods compared with a control. To do so, three samples of each species were selected, with approximately 40 years, which had the first two three-meter long logs removed. Wood thermal modification was done through final temperatures of 140 °C, 160 °C e 180 °C for 2.5 hours, and the control as well, using a forced air circulation greenhouse. Mechanical properties tests consisted of maximum impact resistance evaluation, static bending, and fiber parallel compression. Generally, results showed that thermal modification increases wood resistance up to a certain point and reduces in the highest temperature.

title: Call number and FRBR: A dialogue guided by principles of the Organization of Information

description: Abstract Call number plays a relevant role in libraries, since ordering of documents is configured as a proposal for reading collections, establishes the link between catalog entry and the place document occupies in the collection for access purposes and contributes to the collection management of space uses. From the late twentieth century, International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions promoted studies that culminated in guidelines for documentary processes, products and instruments, notably Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records conceptual model. The purpose of this article is to analyze the construction of book number – the final part of call number – in association with attributes of the entities of Group 1 of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records. For theoretical foundation, it approaches works of Cutter, Barden, Lehnus, Satija and Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, as well as Moreno’s and Ortega. As a methodology, it performs exploratory research through literature review that results in the examination of the call number and the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records based on the decomposition of examples. It concludes by pointing out the actuality of call number as a workable model for ordering of documents and as a construction elaborated from principles that have correlation with Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.

title: Assessment of dentists and dental students’ level of knowledge in the management of individuals using oral anticoagulants

description: Abstract Introduction Cardiovascular diseases have a high incidence and due to that there is a large amount of patients who take medications for prevention and treatment of these disorders. Consequently, the number of people to be submitted to dental treatment and also under oral anticoagulant therapy is increasing and the management of these individuals requires a careful evaluation of the clinical condition and the procedure to be performed. Objective To evaluate the level of knowledge of dentists and undergraduate dental students in the management of individuals using oral anticoagulants to be submitted to dental treatment. Material and method Descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study based on a questionnaire answered by 100 individuals (70 dentists and 30 undergraduate dental students), chosen for convenience to evaluate their knowledge about the proposed topic. To compare the quantitative variables, the Student's T test was used to compare two samples and the ANOVA test with Bonferroni's post test to compare three samples. Result Among the interviewees, 74.5% of dental surgeons and 54.2% of undergraduates reported having attended a patient under oral anticoagulant therapy. There was no statistical difference regarding the performance between professionals and students in the dental management of patients taking anticoagulants. Among the group of dental surgeons, the professionals of the bucomaxillofacial surgery and those who had multiprofessional residency presented better performance when compared to the general practitioners. Conclusion The management of patients using oral anticoagulants stills a challenge for the groups studied.

title: EFFECT OF LIGHT, TEMPERATURE AND SCARIFICATION ON THE GERMINATIVE CAPACITY AND INITIAL GROWTH OF Myroxylon balsamum (L.) HARMS

description: ABSTRACT Myroxylon balsamum is a valuable tropical tree; besides the good quality of its timber it also provides valuable nontimber forest products: balsam and resin. High deforestation rates in the area of distribution and the unregulated extraction of its resin and wood have led M. balsamum to be endangered or threatened. Its regeneration through seeds has been poorly studied, and there are no reports of germination and plasticity under controlled conditions. We evaluated the effect of scarification (longitudinal cut of the fruit and embryo fully exposed) and environmental factors (different levels of light intensities and changing temperatures) on seed germination and the development of seedlings. From the aforementioned, M. balsamum seeds are orthodox and show physical dormancy. In view of these characteristics, M. balsamum can be managed efficiently to initiate conservation programs and restoration in degraded land.
