ANÁLISE DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA E TENDÊNCIAS SOBRE DESEMPENHO EM LOGÍSTICA REVERSA: UM OLHAR PARA A DIMENSÃO SOCIAL

As atividades de Logística Reversa têm ganhado destaque no modelo de negócio de manufaturas e a avaliação de desempenho da logística reversa se torna uma importante ferramenta para que as empresas aumentem o seu desempenho sustentável. A dimensão social é um tópico emergente nesse contexto uma vez que a maioria dos modelos de avaliação de desempenho em logística reversa presentes na literatura acadêmica aborda apenas ambientais e econômicos. É necessário expandir a visão tradicional focada em métricas como custo e emissão de poluentes, para também valorizar aspectos que relacionem a sustentabilidade social e a responsabilidade social corporativa de uma empresa. O presente trabalho constitui-se em uma revisão bibliográfica analisando o cenário da produção científica mundial sobre avaliação de desempenho em logística reversa com enfoque em aspectos sociais com base em 100 artigos da base de dados Web of Science publicados entre 2010 e 2018. Os principais resultados mostraram que poucos países se destacam na temática em ascensão, sendo assim uma oportunidade para futuras pesquisas, principalmente no Brasil que apesar de ser o principal expoente da América Latina ainda carece de pesquisas na área. Também foram destacados os principais aspectos sociais adotados nas publicações que lidam diretamente com o tema e que incluem principalmente, saúde e segurança, estabilidade de emprego e responsabilidades para com as partes interessadas.

SLC2A knockout mice deficient in ascorbic acid synthesis recapitulate aspects of arterial tortuosity syndrome and display mitochondrial respiration defects

Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS) is a recessively inherited connective tissue disorder, mainly characterized by tortuosity and aneurysm formation of the major arteries. ATS is caused by loss-of-function mutations in SLC2A10, encoding the facilitative glucose transporter GLUT10. Former studies implicate GLUT10 in transport of dehydroascorbic acid, the oxidized form of ascorbic acid (AA). Mouse models carrying homozygous Slc2a10 missense mutations do not recapitulate the human phenotype. Since mice, in contrast to humans, are able to intracellularly synthesize AA, we generated a novel ATS mouse model, deficient for Slc2a10 as well as Gulo, which encodes for L-gulonolactone oxidase, an enzyme catalyzing the final step in AA biosynthesis in rodents. Gulo;Slc2a10 knock-out mice show mild phenotypic anomalies, which were absent in single knock-out controls. While Gulo;Slc2a10 knock-out mice do not fully phenocopy human ATS, histological and immunocytochemical analysis revealed compromised extracellular matrix formation. TGFβ signaling remained unaltered, while mitochondrial function was compromised in smooth muscle cells derived from Gulo;Slc2a10 knock-out mice. Altogether, our data add evidence that ATS is an ascorbate compartmentalization disorder, but additional factors underlying the observed phenotype in humans remain to be determined.
Entner–Doudoroff pathway and Non-OxPPP bypasses glycolysis and OxPPP in Ralstonia solanacearum

In Ralstonia solanacearum, a devastating phytopathogen whose metabolism is poorly understood, we observed that Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway and NonOxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OxPPP) bypasses glycolysis and OxPPP under glucose oxidation. Evidences derived from 13C stable isotopes feeding and genome annotation based comparative metabolic network analysis supported the observations. Comparative metabolic network analysis derived from the currently available 53 annotated R. solanacearum strains also including the recently reported strain (F1C1), representing the four phylotypes confirmed the lack of key genes coding for phosphofructokinase (pfk-1) and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (gnd) enzymes that are relevant for glycolysis and OxPPP respectively. R. solanacearum F1C1 cells fed with 13C Glucose (99%[1-13C]- or 99%[1,2-13C]- or 40%[13C6]-glucose) followed by GC-MS based labelling analysis of fragments from amino acids, glycerol and ribose provided clear evidence that rather than Glycolysis and OxPPP, ED pathway and NonOxPPP are the main routes sustaining metabolism in R. solanacearum. The 13C incorporation in the mass ions of alanine (m/z 260, m/z 232); valine (m/z 288, m/z 260), glycine (m/z 218), serine (m/z 390, m/z 362), histidine (m/z 440, m/z 412), tyrosine (m/z 466, m/z 438), phenylalanine (m/z 336, m/z 308), glycerol (m/z 377) and ribose (m/z 160) mapped the pathways supporting the observations. The outcomes help better defining the central carbon metabolic network of R. solanacearum that can be integrated with 13C metabolic flux analysis as well as flux balance analysis studies for defining the metabolic phenotypes. Importance Understanding the metabolic versatility of Ralstonia solanacearum is important as it regulates the tradeoff between virulence and metabolism (1, 2) in a wide range of plant hosts. Due to a lack of clear evidence until this work, several published research papers reported on potential roles of Glycolysis and Oxidative pentose phosphate pathways (OxPPP) in R. solanacearum (3, 4). This work provided evidence from 13C stable isotopes feeding and genome annotation based comparative metabolic network analysis that Entner-Doudoroff pathway and Non-OxPPP bypasses glycolysis and OxPPP during the oxidation of Glucose, one of the host xylem pool that serves as a potential carbon source (5). The outcomes help better defining the central carbon metabolic network of R. solanacearum that can be integrated with 13C metabolic flux analysis as well as flux balance analysis studies for defining the metabolic phenotypes. The study highlights the need to critically examine phytopathogens whose metabolism is poorly understood.

Managing patients with 'statin intolerance' : a retrospective study

The incidence of statin intolerance due to non-severe side effects is estimated to be 5-10%. As an increasing number of patients become eligible for lipid-lowering treatment, this is becoming a more prevalent issue. Very limited, if any, data exist so far in the management of this subgroup of patients. Clinic letters from 1,100 patients who attended the Lipid Clinic at Hull Royal Infirmary from January 2000 until December 2004 were searched for 'statin intolerance'. Forty patients (19 male, 21 female, median age 62 years) were identified with intolerance to at least one statin drug but with an absolute indication to be on treatment. Out of the 40 patients, 26 (65%, 11 male, 15 female) were eventually able to tolerate a statin for at least six months without their initial side effect, the most commonly successful statins being rosuvastatin (n=9) and pravastatin (n=8). Overall, this required a median of two switches (range one to four) in statin treatment. Fourteen (35%) were unable to continue treatment after a median of 1.5 switches (range one to three), either because of continued intolerance or a decision not to proceed with more alternatives. In conclusion, nearly two thirds of patients with initial problems with a particular statin are able to take an alternative statin without side effects. This supports the trial of different statins in intolerant patients.
Sphygmomanometer as biofeedback in acute anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction rehabilitation: A cost-effective technique

Quadriceps dysfunction following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a common threat to any sports rehabilitation. Even though the role of biofeedback (BFB) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation has been in use to preserve the quadriceps in the acute phase of ACLR, this paper focuses on retraining the same using a sphygmomanometer as pressure BFB. A 25-year-old male collegiate with an isolated tear of ACL was followed up from immediate postoperative period to the outpatient care services for 3 months. The isometric quadriceps pressure difference and heel height difference were measured initially and reevaluated following the intervention. Relearning of impaired quadriceps following an ACLR depends on the response, and so the accurate dose-response in the form of pressure BFB using sphygmomanometer reduces the financial constraints of a sophisticated BFB unit. It provides an easy understanding of the quality and the magnitude of the exercise.
Analytical modeling and design of negative stiffness honeycombs

Negative stiffness honeycombs (NSHs) have multiple advantages compared to traditional honeycomb structures. These advantages include recoverable elastic buckling, shock absorption, and vibration isolation. As a result, NSHs have great potential in applications such as acoustic wave guiding, shape morphing, design of impact-protection devices and robotic grippers. In this paper, we present a design methodology for metamaterial consisting of negative stiffness beams assembled in a honeycomb structure. Based on analytical results, our methodology allows designing NSH mesostructures with predetermined buckling sequence. An NSH prototype was designed based on our algorithm and fabricated using a 3D printer with a nylon filament. The validity of our approach was experimentally verified by performing displacement controlled compression force measurements. Our methodology gives the ability to design NSH mesostructures with desired force–displacement characteristics.
Production of conductive bacterial cellulose-polyaniline membranes in the presence of metal salts

This study presents a cost-effective method of enhancing the electrical conductivity and washing durability of bacterial cellulose (BC)-polyaniline (PANI) membrane by the addition of metal salt. In this study, two types of metal salts were tested: copper (II) sulfate and iron (II) sulfate. The optimal condition to produce BC-PANI-metal salt membranes was 0.05% (w/v) of copper (II) sulfate (copper salt). X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystallinity of BC-PANI increased after adding copper salt. According to the increased degree of crystallinity, the polymer chain structure of BC-PANI-copper salt (BC-PANI-Cu) was more organized than that of BC-PANI, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. In addition, this ordered structure of BC-PANI-Cu indicated enhanced electrical conductivity. Moreover, the addition of copper salt improved the electrical conductivity of BC-PANI to a level about 3.8 times higher than that of BC-PANI produced without metal salt, and it retained about 40% of its original electrical conductivity after three washing cycles. From the results, the addition of copper salt improved both the electrical conductivity and washing durability of the BC-PANI membrane.

Segmentation of the Main Himalayan Thrust Illuminated by Bayesian Inference of Interseismic Coupling

We use a recent compilation of geodetic data of surface displacements in a fully Bayesian approach to derive a probabilistic estimate of interseismic coupling along the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT). Our probabilistic estimate of interseismic coupling highlights four large, highly coupled patches separated by three potential barriers of low coupling. Locked patches overlap with estimated rupture areas of historical large earthquakes over the past centuries. The coincident spatial variability in coupling, seismicity, and prominent active topography suggests a structural segmentation of the MHT imposed by inherited tectonic structures from the India‐Eurasia collision. This correlation implies that inherited tectonic structures may affect how stress builds up along the MHT, thereby influencing the location and size of large Himalayan earthquakes and the growth of the mountain range.
Adsorção multi-micotoxinas: revisão e estudo de carvões ativados

Multi-mycotoxin adsorption: review and study of activated carbons The high incidence of mycotoxins contamination in cereal grains and processed foods have been reported worldwide, especially in products intended for animal feed. The objective of this work was to explore the available and upcoming technologies applied for the reduction of mycotoxins present in foods with a focus on adsorption, as well as in the in vitro methodology. Following, five activated carbon were evaluated about their properties and its individual and multi-mycotoxin adsorption capacity (Aflatoxin B1, Deoxynivalenol, Fuminisin B1 and Zearalenone). The activated carbon that presented the highest capacity of multi-mycotoxin adsorption was selected to continue the study in order to explore the interactions between adsorbent / adsorbate and possible interferents. Physicochemical parameters were evaluated, the effect of the contact time, concentration, isotherms and effect of the composition of the medium and the pH change. The adsorption of Aflatoxin B1 and Zearalenone had no effect of the factors studied, different from the adsorption of Fumonisin B1 and Deoxynivalenol. The results help in the analysis of the interaction of mycotoxins and activated carbon molecules, as well as which factors may affect the adsorption process of each of them. However, more studies are needed to clarify the role of each of the factors in the adsorption of these mycotoxins studied.
Interspecific competition in bats: state of knowledge and research challenges

Interspecific competition (IC) is often seen as a main driver of evolutionary patterns and community structure. Bats might compete for key resources, and cases of exaggerated divergence of resource‐related characters or trait overdispersion in bat assemblages are often explained in terms of current or past interspecific competition. However, other pressures leading to patterns that mimic the outcome of competition cannot always be ruled out. We present the state of knowledge on IC among bats, providing a critical evaluation of the information available and identifying open questions and challenges. We reviewed 100 documents addressing potential or actual IC in bats and categorised them in terms of the resource for which bats compete (food, foraging habitat, roosts, water, and acoustic space). We also examined the ecomorphological and behavioural traits considered therein to highlight responses to IC or niche partitioning. We found that: although resources should be limiting in order for competition to occur, this is seldom tested; sympatry is sometimes taken as synonymous of syntopy (yet sympatric species that are not syntopic will never experience competition); comparisons between sympatry and allopatry are rare; and testing of objective criteria exploring the existence of niche partitioning or character displacement is not commonly adopted. While morphological examination of food remains in droppings has often led to coarse‐grained analysis that proved insufficient to establish the occurrence of food niche overlap or partitioning, new frontiers are being opened by state‐of‐the‐art molecular dietary analysis. A better understanding of IC in bats is paramount, since distributional changes leading to novel bat assemblages driven by climate change are already taking place, and the dramatic decline in insect availability, as well as the global loss or alteration of foraging habitat, may generate new competitive interactions or exacerbate existing interactions in the Anthropocene, and into the future.
WiFi-Based Gesture Recognition for Vehicular Infotainment System—An Integrated Approach

In the realm of intelligent vehicles, gestures can be characterized for promoting automotive interfaces to control in-vehicle functions without diverting the driver’s visual attention from the road. Driver gesture recognition has gained more attention in advanced vehicular technology because of its substantial safety benefits. This research work demonstrates a novel WiFi-based device-free approach for driver gestures recognition for automotive interface to control secondary systems in a vehicle. Our proposed wireless model can recognize human gestures very accurately for the application of in-vehicle infotainment systems, leveraging Channel State Information (CSI). This computationally efficient framework is based on the properties of K Nearest Neighbors (KNN), induced in sparse representation coefficients for significant improvement in gestures classification. In this typical approach, we explore the mean of nearest neighbors to address the problem of computational complexity of Sparse Representation based Classification (SRC). The presented scheme leads to designing an efficient integrated classification model with reduced execution time. Both KNN and SRC algorithms are complimentary candidates for integration in the sense that KNN is simple yet optimized, whereas SRC is computationally complex but efficient. More specifically, we are exploiting the mean-based nearest neighbor rule to further improve the efficiency of SRC. The ultimate goal of this framework is to propose a better feature extraction and classification model as compared to the traditional algorithms that have already been used for WiFi-based device-free gesture recognition. Our proposed method improves the gesture recognition significantly for diverse scale of applications with an average accuracy of 91.4%.
