13. Effects of lifestyle interventions on glucose regulation and diabetes risk in adults with impaired glucose tolerance or prediabetes: a meta-analysis
ABSTRACT The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing and is related to sedentary lifestyles and obesity. Many studies were published on the effect of lifestyle interventions on glucose regulation and delay the onset of diabetes in adults with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or prediabetes. This study aimed to investigate the role of lifestyle interven

14. Estimation of body fat in children with intellectual disability: development and cross-validation of a simple anthropometric method
Abstract Objective Population-level monitoring of body composition requires accurate, biologically-relevant, yet feasible methods for estimating percent body fat (%BF). The aim of this study was to develop and cross-validate an equation for %BF from Body Mass Index (BMI), age, and sex among children with intellectual disability (ID). This study further aime

15. A Novel In Silico Monte Carlo Approach to Optimize a PSD Estimation Problem. Generation of Data Fusion Experiment Rules
ABSTRACT This article analyzes the performance of combining information from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrographs with Static Light Scattering (SLS) measurements for retrieving the so-called Particle Size Distribution (PSD) in terms of experimental features. The corresponding data fusion is implemented using a novel Monte Carlo-based method consist

16. Association of salivary alpha-2-macroglobulin with glycemia and glycated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis study
Abstract BACKGROUND: Chronically elevated alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2MG) in the blood has been correlated with diabetes and the HbA1c profile; however, no systematic review has been conducted to evaluate the association of A2MG salivary levels and glycemia or HbA1c levels in diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether A2MG salivar

17. Settlement of bored piles with expander body system in lateritic soils
Abstract The Expander Body pile (EB) is a combination of a cast-in-situ pile method with an inflated, pump-grouted tip. The EB system's pioneering conjunction with the conventional drilling pile technique has improved work load, foundation security, cost reductions and abrupt displacements in lateritic, porous, unsaturated soils. The aim of this article is t

18. Finite strip method computer application for buckling analysis of thin-walled structures with arbitrary cross-sections
Abstract The Direct Strength Method (DSM) is a well-known formulation presented in the Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 14762:2010, that estimates the strength capacity of cold-formed steel (CFS) members. However, this formulation requires the elastic critical buckling loads as point of departure, regarding local (L), distortional (D) and global (G) modes, which

19. ASSESSMENT OF SOIL LOSS SUSCEPTIBILITY IN SANTA RITA WATERSHED IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL
ABSTRACT Estimation of soil loss susceptibility is of great importance for the management of watersheds. Thus, several models for soil loss prediction have been proposed. This study estimated the total annual soil loss for the Santa Rita watershed, located in southern Brazil, using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation. In addition, a classification to so

20. Improvement of 1st-hour bundle compliance and sepsis mortality in pediatrics after the implementation of the surviving sepsis campaign guidelines
Abstract Objectives To study the impact of the implementation of the Pediatric Surviving Sepsis Campaign protocol on early recognition of sepsis, 1 -h treatment bundle and mortality. Methods Retrospective, single-center study, before and after the implementation of the sepsis protocol. Outcomes: sepsis recognition, compliance with the 1 -h bundle (fluid re

21. Dynamic anisotropy and non-linear geostatistics supporting short term modelling of structurally complex gold mineralization
Abstract Non-linear geostatistical methods are known to deal appropriately with the geological and geometrical complexity of gold deposits. This article reports the results related to an investigation to improve the gold content estimate based on restricted ore modeling to honor the structural aspects that control the mineralization. The grade domains are de

22. SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION OF PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES OF AN OXISOL
ABSTRACT Studies that seek to identify a smaller number of soil attributes that represent others can generate less expenditure of time and financial resources for monitoring cultivated areas. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution and spatial autocorrelation of physical attributes of an Oxisol (Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo, Brazilian Soil C

23. CROP MODELING WITH LESS DATA: THE FAO MODEL FOR SOYBEAN YIELD ESTIMATION
ABSTRACT Crop growth simulation models such as WOFOST and DSSAT are useful, but require several inputs that sometimes are not available, especially in developing areas. In addition, measured data is usually time and labor-intensive. In search of faster and easier methods for soybean estimates, this study presents a lower input requiring methodology for yield

24. The payroll tax exemption in Brazil: Structural and quasi-experimental perspectives
Abstract This paper estimates the payroll tax exemption effects by two alternative approaches. First, a Quasi-experiment which takes into account the fact that firms under the tax regime called Simples already do not pay payroll taxes to define such group of firms as control. The other approach was a structural model which considers payroll tax as a source o
