Galvao, Brenda Rodrigues,Yoo, Da-Un(유다은) 대한건축학회 2023 대한건축학회 학술발표대회 논문집 Vol.43 No.1

The purpose of this study was to obtain the main features of the Public Open Spaces (POSs) of the Center-South region of Belo Horizonte City so that future planning standards can be properly improved. A field observation was carried out among parks, bicycle paths and squares that contain Open-Air Gym program exercise equipment between January and February of 2023. Results show that bicycle paths do not provide enough shade, CCTV and almost 1/4 of the segments are not appropriate for biking. Parks and in a higher level, squares, have alarming numbers regarding absence of playground, court/field, traffic signage, landscape element and sufficient number of benches.

Public-Private Interests and Conflicts in Ports: A Content Analysis Approach

Cassia Bömer GALVAO,Grace W. Y. WANG,Joan MILESKI 한국해운물류학회 2016 The Asian journal of shipping and Logistics Vol.32 No.1

Various levels of private sector involvement such as changes to incentives, capital utilization, flexible finance schemes, and the infrastructure investment has occurred as consequences of port devolution and reform processes. Our investigation uses a basic content analysis across both academic literature and maritime specialized media with research appropriate selected keywords to identify potential conflict within the changing institutional processes. Two major ports, New York/New Jersey (USA) and Santos (Brazil), with different characteristics in institutional background, are studied aiming to identify these conflicts. The results presented offer a contribution that enhances the academic debate and potentially enlightens solution formulation for those active in the port management.

An Advanced Understanding of Uterine Microbial Ecology Associated with Metritis in Dairy Cows

Jeon, Soo Jin,Galvao, Klibs N. Korea Genome Organization 2018 Genomics & informatics Vol.16 No.4

Metritis, the inflammation of the uterus caused by polymicrobial infections, is a prevalent and costly disease to the dairy industry as it decreases milk yield, survival, and the welfare of dairy cows. Although affected cows are treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics such as ceftiofur, endometrial and ovarian function are not fully recovered, which results in subfertility and infertility. According to culture-dependent studies, uterine pathogens include Escherichia coli, Trueperella pyogenes, Fusobacterium necrophorum, and Prevotella melaninogenica. Recent studies using high-throughput sequencing observed very low relative abundance of Escherichia coli, Trueperella pyogenes, and Prevotella melaninogenica in cows with metritis. Herein, we propose that metritis is associated with a dysbiosis of the uterine microbiota, which is characterized by high abundance of Bacteroides, Porphyromonas, and Fusobacterium.

Developing a comprehensive approach to port performance assessment

Okan DURU,Cassia B. Galvao,Joan MILESKI,Leo Tadeu Robles,Amir Gharehgozli 한국해운물류학회 2020 The Asian journal of shipping and Logistics Vol.36 No.4

This paper investigates the port performance assessment and proposes a comprehensive framework with various perspectives as well as priority distributions of stakeholders* expectations in port business and operations. One fundamental questions in port performance studies is how to evaluate and quantify intangible indicators on performance. There are definitely inputs and outputs, which may be measured and evaluated through conventional instruments. However, each instrument deals with a particular aspect of whole performance problem (e.g. port efficiency, port productivity,), and many of these instruments are limited to ‘measurable’ data on port management and operations. In this paper, these two common problems are put under the scope, and a comprehensive port performance assessment scheme is established by gathering various perspectives. Quality function deployment (QFD) approach is preferred to formulize the problem and define priority ratings of expectations by each stakeholder in the port domain. The framework can contribute to a broader understanding of ports as business units, its development drivers and interaction with community neighbors, and to shed light to port performance assessment considering both public and private entities.

Gallbladder stones in bariatrics and management of choledocholithiasis after gastric bypass

Mariano Palermo,Manoel Galvao Neto 소화기인터벤션의학회 2019 Gastrointestinal Intervention Vol.8 No.1

It is known that the rapid weight loss is a predisposing factor to develop biliary lithiasis. The physiopathology is related with an oversaturation of bile with cholesterol, bile stasis, and increase in mucin concentration in bile. The incidence of cholelithiasis post gastric bypass is estimated around 37%. Almost 50% developed disease in the first year of monitoring, and 60% in the first 6 months. Meanwhile the patients undergoing sleeve gas-trectomy have an incidence of cholelithiasis of 27%. Diverse kinds of protocols exist: prophylactic surgery (simultaneous cholecystectomy and gastric bypass in every patients, whether they have or not cholelithiasis), elective (simultaneous cholecystectomy with conventional gastric bypass in the patients with asymptomatic cholelithiasis), and conventional cholecystectomy only in the presence of cholelithiasis with symptoms. Which way to go is still a topic of discussion among surgeons but the majority agree that prophylactic surgery shouldn’t be an option because the number of patients that will develop symptomatic cholelithiasis is low (around 6% to 8% of them) and this leads to an elevated number of patients exposed to an unnecessary procedure with potential complications. The presence of gallstones in the common bile duct (CBD) although is a rare complica-tion after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (around 0.2% of the bariatric patients) represents an important challenge due to the anatomical modifications of the gastrointestinal tract. This leads to having to pursue other methods to reach the papillae for the resolution of choledocholithiasis: laparoscopy-assisted transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), balloon enteroscopy assisted ERCP, percutaneous biliary drainage with subsequent trans fistula treatment and laparoscopic exploration of CBD. Which of these methods should we choose must be based on the surgeon experience, the equipment available and the location of the stone. But whatever the method, a special training is needed on endoscopy, percutaneous surgery and laparoscopy.

Fast Conditional Independence-based Bayesian Classifier

Junior, Estevam R. Hruschka,Galvao, Sebastian D. C. de O. Korean Institute of Information Scientists and Eng 2007 Journal of Computing Science and Engineering Vol.1 No.2

Machine Learning (ML) has become very popular within Data Mining (KDD) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and their applications. In the ML and KDD contexts, two main approaches can be used for inducing a Bayesian Network (BN) from data, namely, Conditional Independence (CI) and the Heuristic Search (HS). When a BN is induced for classification purposes (Bayesian Classifier - BC), it is possible to impose some specific constraints aiming at increasing the computational efficiency. In this paper a new CI based approach to induce BCs from data is proposed and two algorithms are presented. Such approach is based on the Markov Blanket concept in order to impose some constraints and optimize the traditional PC learning algorithm. Experiments performed with the ALARM, as well as other six UCI and three artificial domains revealed that the proposed approach tends to execute fewer comparison tests than the traditional PC. The experiments also show that the proposed algorithms produce competitive classification rates when compared with both, PC and Naive Bayes.
