5. Comparação do índice tornozelo-braquial com parâmetros de rigidez e resistência arterial periférica avaliados por fotopletismografia em idosos
Resumo Contexto O índice tornozelo-braquial (ITB) utiliza a razão entre a pressão arterial sistólica do tornozelo e do braço para diagnosticar de forma não invasiva a doença arterial periférica (DAP). A fotopletismografia (photoplethysmography, PPG) faz a medição e o registro das modificações de volume sanguíneo do corpo humano por meio de téc

6. Estimates of Annual Soil Loss Rates in the State of São Paulo, Brazil
ABSTRACT: Soil is a natural resource that has been affected by human pressures beyond its renewal capacity. For this reason, large agricultural areas that were productive have been abandoned due to soil degradation, mainly caused by the erosion process. The objective of this study was to apply the Universal Soil Loss Equation to generate more recent estimate

7. Más allá del recinto legislativo - estrategias colectivas para una agenda de género en América Latina y el Caribe
Abstract Under the 'thick' conception of women's substantive representation and a relational approach towards organizations, this article examines how (mostly) female legislators articulate collective strategies to debate gender issues. With an original dataset about the national legislative institutions in 18 countries of the region and the content of debat

8. Strength of the respiratory and lower limb muscles and functional capacity in chronic stroke survivors with different physical activity levels
BACKGROUND: The assessment of strength and its relationships with functional capacity could contribute to more specific and effective disability management of stroke survivors. OBJECTIVE: To compare and investigate associations between measures of strength and functional capacity of 98 chronic stroke survivors, stratified into three groups, according

9. Temporal and spatial investments in the protected area network of a megadiverse country
Protected area networks are the cornerstone strategy for biodiversity conservation worldwide. They are efficient even in the face of human pressures. Brazil is a megadiverse country and for this reason it should not be left out of discussions on biodiversity conservation. Here we present a temporal and spatial analysis of the historical national investments

10. Is the human species still evolving?: to where?
The questions of the title have been considered in several ways. First, indications of the traits which make us humans were considered. Then the behavior and culture concepts were examined, and the biology and culture interactions discussed, with an emphasis on the similarities and differences between the genetic and cultural transmissions. Next diverse type

11. Ação do estado e a exploração de um recurso de acesso comum, a castanha do Brasil (Bertholletia excelsa): estudo de caso na comunidade amazônica de Tres Islas, na Região de Madre de Dios, Peru / States action and exploration of a common-pool resource, the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa): case community study in Tres Islas, Madre de Dios Region, Peru
There are two remarkable characteristics during mankind history: the increasing capacity of human populations, exponentially in the last 300 years, to obtain energy and information and the increase in the complexity of the organization of their societies based especially on human interdependence. Economical and political pressures to satisfy the needs of the

12. Caracterização molecular de recombinantes intersubtipos do vírus da imunodeficiência humana tipo 1(HIV-1) em pacientes provenientes da epidemia do estado de São Paulo. / Molecular characterization of recombinant intersubtipos of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in patients from the epidemic in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The extensive HIV-1 genetic diversity has several implications on the viral adaptive and evolutionary capabilities. This diversity is due to intensive mutational rates derived from error-prone activity of viral reverse transcriptase and RNA genomic instability, generating a highly diverse and heterogeneous viral population named quasispecies. However, even t
