To analyze the main characteristics of the scientific production of Oswaldo Paulo Forattini, researcher and, for 40 years, editor of Revista de Saúde Pública.
Descriptive study with bibliometric ...approach conducted in three steps. (1) identification of bibliographic records using the following search strategy: "Oswaldo Paulo Forattini" OR "Forattini OP" OR "Forattini" up information sources Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PubMed, in July 2016, which retrieved 867 records. (2) composition of research corpus, in which we included 351 bibliographic records of articles, books, book chapters, editorials, book reviews, informative notes and annual reports of the RSP and excluded 516 duplicates and acknowledgement notes, obituary notes, and nonretrievable citations. (3) data organization and analysis, in which we built databases for descriptive analysis and development of the MeSH coauthors and terms networks in VOSviewer software. For analysis of editorials, three reviewers read the full text of each editorial and categorized them according to subject, historical context and perspectives, relating them with historical milestones.
Forattini's scientific production occurred from 1946 to 2009, most consisting of articles (n = 218; 62.1%), editorials (n = 43; 12.3%), and books (n = 13; 3.7%). The main subjects were Culicidae (36.8%), Triatominae (12.5%), and Epidemiology (10.0%). The coauthors of articles were his professors, colleagues of his generation, and graduate students. His editorials addressed critical reflections on the production of knowledge, research priorities, and factors that contributed to or hindered progress. The scope of subjects is broad, referring to socioeconomic and scientific development, public health issues in developed countries, or global health.
The analysis shows Forattini's commitment with public health, research with vectors, training of researchers, and scientific communication.

Para análise dos editoriais, três revisores leram o texto completo de cada editorial e os categorizaram segundo assunto, contexto histórico e perspectivas, relacionando-o com marcos históricos.
A produção científica de Forattini ocorreu de 1946 a 2009, a maioria composta por artigos (n = 218; 62,1%), editoriais (n = 43; 12,3%) e livros (n = 13; 3,7%). Os principais assuntos foram Culicidae (36,8%), Triatominae (12,5%) e Epidemiologia (10,0%). Os coautores dos artigos foram seus mestres, colegas de sua geração e alunos de pós-graduação. Seus editoriais abordaram reflexões críticas sobre a produção de conhecimento, prioridades em pesquisa e fatores que contribuíam ou desfavoreciam o progresso. O escopo dos assuntos é amplo, remetendo ao desenvolvimento científico e socioeconômico, questões de saúde pública em países desenvolvidos ou saúde global.
A análise mostra o comprometimento de Forattini com a saúde pública, na pesquisa com vetores, na formação de pesquisadores e na comunicação científica.

Abstract Introduction: Older adults with Alzheimer’s disease present restrictions on engagement in occupations that may be associated with changes in performance skills. Objective: To identify and ...analyze the scientific production of Occupational Therapists interventions in the care of older adults with Alzheimer’s disease who present changes in performance skills. Method: A systematic review was conducted, in a 10-year period (2006-2015), in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The Web of Science, MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO®, LILACS, SciELO, OTSeeker, and PEDro databases were used as sources of information. To search, the descriptors “Alzheimer Disease” and “Occupational Therapy” were used, which were combined with “behavior”, “environment”, “cognition” and “social support”, using the boolean operators AND or OR. There were 13 articles identified that met the inclusion criteria selected for deeper analysis: scientific publications related to Alzheimer’s disease in older adults, that approach interventions directed to performance skills, with the participation of at least one occupational therapist as an author, and without restrictions on the stage of the disease. Results: No national study was found. The identified interventions are directed toward emotional regulation, motor skills, and procedural skills. In their acting, occupational therapists use route navigation, external aid devices (calendars), computer activities and multisensory stimulation as therapeutic resources that attest the effect of the interventions in motor learning, spatial orientation or in the reduction of neuropsychological symptoms and/or behavioral changes. Conclusion: The publications are related to the intervention practices for the improvement of the older people functional capacity and emotional regulation. However, Brazilian Occupational Therapists face the need to publish interventions to justify the effectiveness of their actions and their insertion in shared professional practice, at the different attention levels to the health of older people.
O objetivo deste trabalho é mapear a produção científica em política de saúde no Brasil, na base SciELO, no período 1988-2014. Foram identificados 769 artigos, classificados em três grupos: a) ...análises políticas em saúde (10,2%) com predominância de estudos que analisam a reforma sanitária brasileira; b) estudos sobre financiamento, gestão, organização e infraestrutura do sistema de saúde (28,8%); c) estudos sobre análises de políticas de saúde específicas (49%). Constatou-se aumento da quantidade de publicações ao longo do tempo e concentração de estudos no último grupo, evidenciando a progressiva substituição de análises do processo político mais geral por estudos de políticas específicas.
In today's world in which we are asked to "do more with less" priorities must be assigned to projects, resources allocated, and both continually managed. How to determine priorities is a topic for ...another article; in this article we will discuss how to determine to continue or cancel a project which was originally determined as a priority.
This paper presents a novel method for detecting the motion of passive radio-frequency-identification (RFID) tags within the field of a detecting antenna. The method allows the unobtrusive detection ...of human interactions with RFID-tagged objects without requiring any modifications to existing communications protocols or RFID hardware. We use the response rate (a metric in lieu of the true received RF-signal intensity) at the reader to study the impact of tag translation, rotation, and coupling, as well as environmental effects. Performance is improved by introducing the idea of multiple tags/readers. Movement-detection algorithms are developed and integrated into the RFID monitoring system, and verified by experiments that demonstrate excellent results.
We present a system for modeling disfluency in conversational speech: repairs, fillers, and self-interruption points (IPs). For each sentence, candidate repair analyses are generated by a stochastic ...tree adjoining grammar (TAG) noisy-channel model. A probabilistic syntactic language model scores the fluency of each analysis, and a maximum-entropy model selects the most likely analysis given the language model score and other features. Fillers are detected independently via a small set of deterministic rules, and IPs are detected by combining the output of repair and filler detection modules. In the recent Rich Transcription Fall 2004 (RT-04F) blind evaluation, systems competed to detect these three forms of disfluency under two input conditions: a best-case scenario of manually transcribed words and a fully automatic case of automatic speech recognition (ASR) output. For all three tasks and on both types of input, our system was the top performer in the evaluation
This paper proposes a methodology for performance evaluation of schedules for job-shops modeled using tag machines. The most general tag structure for capturing dependences is shown to be inadequate ...for the task. A new tag structure is proposed. Comparison of the method with existing ones reveals that the proposed method has no dependence on schedule length in terms of modeling efficiency and it shares the same order of complexity with existing approaches. The proposed method, however, is shown to bear promise of applicability to other models of computation and hence to heterogeneous system models having such constituent models.

In this paper we investigate the application of tree-adjunct grammars to grammatical evolution. The standard type of grammar used by grammatical evolution, context-free grammars, produce a subset of ...the languages that tree-adjunct grammars can produce, making tree-adjunct grammars, expressively, more powerful. In this study we shed some light on the effects of tree-adjunct grammars on grammatical evolution, or tree-adjunct grammatical evolution. We perform an analytic comparison of the performance of both setups, i.e., grammatical evolution and tree-adjunct grammatical evolution, across a number of classic genetic programming benchmarking problems. The results firmly indicate that tree-adjunct grammatical evolution has a better overall performance (measured in terms of finding the global optima).
