The shelf life of milk and milk derivatives is directly related to the microbiological quality of refrigerated raw milk. Spoilage microorganisms with proteolytic and/or lipolytic properties are primarily responsible for the decrease in the quality of milk, which is reflected in the shelf life of pasteurized milk and all derivatives. The aim of this study was to determine the spoilage microbial load of refrigerated raw milk from the northeast and southern regions of Brazil, which have different climatic and technological conditions of production. We evaluated 46 samples of milk from the state of Paraná in the southern region, and 10 samples of milk from the state of Maranhão in the northeast region, totaling 56 samples collected from November 2013 to November 2014. The producers of Paraná were divided into large (20) or small (26) according to the average daily production. All producers of Maranhão were considered small (<500L/day). The proteolytic and lipolytic microorganism counts were conducted in milk agar and tributyrin agar, respectively. Milk from the large producers of Paraná had average counts of 1.4 × 104 CFU/mL for proteolytic microorganisms and 1.2 × 103 CFU/mL for lipolytics microorganisms, significantly (p <0.05) lower than the small producers in the same state, and the producers of Maranhão. Producers of Maranhao had counts of 1.1 × 105 CFU/mL for proteolytic microorganisms and 2 × 105 CFU/mL for lipolytic microorganisms, with the proteolytic count significantly lower than that of small Paraná producers. The amount of proteolytic and lipolytic spoilage microorganisms in milk is influenced by the adaptation of the microorganisms to cold, promoted by the cooling of milk, which is practiced less frequently in the country’s northeastern region. The amount of spoilage microorganisms is also affected by the implementation of milking hygiene practices, which reduce contamination. Such practices are more frequently and efficiently implemented among large producers with more advanced technology, which can improve the microbiological quality of raw milk, thus increasing the shelf life of pasteurized milk, and reducing problems in UHT milk as well as milk derivatives.

Published: December 2015

The effects of managerial systems on the occurrence of gastrointestinal helminths in Free-Range Chickens (FRCs) from northern Paraná, Brazil were investigated. The most predominant (23.3%; 61/262) cestode observed was Raillietina cesticillus; Heterakis gallinarum (71.4%; 187/262) and Ascaridia galli (45%; 118/262) were the predominant nematodes; Postharmostomum commutatum was the only trematode observed in 2.7% (7/262) of FRCs. The most elevated parasitic burdens were associated with Heterakis gallinarum, Ascaridia galli, and Raillietina cesticillus. Significant (p ? 0.05) associations were observed when the effects of the types of bedding, soil type, and fence restriction of FRCs were considered relative to the possibility of helminthiasis. The type of bedding, the length of the sanitary break, and the presence of shading significantly (p ? 0.05) influenced the possibility of FRCs being infected by H. gallinarum. Most parameters evaluated were significantly associated with infection of FRCs by A. galli. These findings suggest that FRCs from northern Paraná are infected by a wide-range of gastrointestinal helminths, but more frequently by R. cesticillus, H. gallinarum, and A. galli. Moreover, the type of floor bedding, the soil type, and the usage of fences in the management of FRCs is directly related to gastrointestinal helminthiasis.

Published: December 2015

Digestive and respiratory tracts parasite’s protozoan, Cryptosporidium spp. now-a-days is a major zoonotic agent, it causes self-limiting diarrhea, remaining in the body passively until the moment immune system decreases, leading to an increase in its multiplication in the mucosa and appearance of clinical signs. As there are few studies on cryptosporidiosis in wild free-living and captive animals, especially in Brazil, this study aimed to identify the presence of Cryptosporidium spp. in feces of captive animals in Cascavel, PR Municipal Zoo. Between 2011 and 2012 there have been four collections of bird feces and five mammalian feces totaling 65 and 118 samples respectively. Samples were sent to the laboratory of Veterinary Parasitology of Federal University of Parana. The feces were diluted, centrifuged and the pellets were used to make blades which were stained by the Ziehl-Neelsen modified method and observed under a microscope with 1000X magnification. Then the blades containing the oocysts were observed under a capture microscope, where they were measured. Mammals showed 49.15% and birds 44.61% of positivity. Oocysts’ sizes ranged from 3,54?m to 5,81?m with an average of 4,32?m for birds and 3,11?m to 5,60?m averaging 4,63?m to mammals. As of yet, there isn’t effective treatment against this parasite and considering that it’s a zoonotic disease, preventive measures should be taken to prevent transmission to humans.

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is an infectious viral disease caused by a Lentivirus, which affects equids worldwide. The disease has no currently treatment and euthanasia of infected animals is mandatory by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) as basis for disease control. Carthorses are used to move daily throughout the cities with their owners to collect recycling materials. Considering the socio-economic importance of this group of horses, the aim of this study was to determine the infection rate of EIA virus in carthorses from urban areas of Curitiba and surroundings. The detection of anti-EIA virus antibodies was performed by the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID). One out of 97 (1.03%) horse was positive for EIA. Active surveillance programs are crucial for monitoring, prevention and control of infectious diseases, particularly in carthorses, which may act as disseminators of pathogens.

This study aimed to quantify, describe, and identify plant litter production and nutrient accumulation zones in different forest-pasture integration (FPI) systems and forest strata of the Cerrado-Amazon transition on typical orthic Quartzarenic Neosol using spatial analysis, principal component analysis, and non-hierarchical fuzzy k-mean clustering logic techniques. The evaluations were performed at two FPI systems comprising a combination of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu and thinned native vegetation with 50 and 75% (FPI-I and FPI-II, respectively) shade in an original thinned forest (NFI) and in an original intact forest (NF-II) with 80 and 95% shade, respectively. An area of 4,000 m² (40 x 100 m) that contained 32 sampling points arranged in a 4 x 25 m grid was demarcated for each treatment. Plant litter was collected using 32 collectors installed at equidistant points. Twelve nylon bags were placed on the soil surface at each point to evaluate the plant litter decomposition, totaling 384 bags per treatment. It was possible to quantify, describe, and define plant litter production and nutrient accumulation zones in different FPI systems and forest strata of the Cerrado-Amazon transition on orthic Quartzarenic Neosol using geostatistical analysis, principal components, and non-hierarchical fuzzy k-mean clustering logic procedures.

The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters and (co)variance of Nellore animals and to characterize the associations between these characteristics for the following carcass traits: weight (W), longissimus muscle area (LMA), rump fat thickness (RF) and fat thickness between the 12th and 13th ribs obtained by ultrasound (BF); also, the following reproductive traits: age at first calving (AFC), first calving interval (FCI), scrotal circumference at 450 and 550 days of age (SC450 and SC550). The genetic parameters were estimated by a single-trait and two traits animal model using Bayesian inference. The model used for all of the features included the genetic random effect and age as covariate assuming a quadratic effect. Additionally, sex, month and year of birth and management of creation and environmental effects identified were included for the carcass traits. For AFC, FCI and SC450 and SC550, we considered only the month and year of birth. The heritability estimates for all of the traits were higher in the two traits analysis, except for AFC and FCI, which showed 0.75 and 0.29, respectively, similar values in the single trait analysis. The two traits analyses resulted in heritability estimates for a posteriori for the features W, LMA, BF, RF, SC450 and SC550 of 0.49, 0.66, 0.74, 0.68 0.66 and 0.74, respectively, suggesting the possibility of genetic gains during a short period of time. The genetic correlations between AFC and carcass traits measured by ultrasound were close to zero. A similar trend was found for AFC, SC450 and SC550 days, indicating that the selection for these traits does not promote changes in AFC. High genetic correlations (0.92, 0.93 and 0.94) were observed between the characteristics LMA and W, BF and RF, and SC450 and SC550, respectively.

Published: December 2015

Two trials were conducted to evaluate phytase addition to diets with corn, rice and soybean meals for swine. In the first trial, the digestibilities of gross energy and crude protein and the availabilities of calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P) of diets with or without phytase were evaluated in growing barrows (BW 20.42 ± 2.45 kg), using the total feces and feed collection methods. In the second trial, the parameters evaluated were pig performance, mineral contents in the 3rd and 4th metacarpals, feces production and composition of growing and finishing gilts fed one of the following diets: Positive control (PC), formulated to achieve nutrient and energy requirements of growing and finishing gilts; Negative control (NC), diet PC meeting 84% and 65% of Ca and P levels, respectively; Negative control + phytase (PHY), diet NC + 0.01% phytase (500 FTU/kg). Phytase addition improved P and Ca availabilities in 14.34% and 4.08%, respectively, compared with the diet with no phytase, in trial one. In trial two, the deposition of zinc in the metacarpals was improved by the enzyme and Ca, P and copper fecal excretions of the animals from the PC diet were greater than that observed for the PHY animals. Phytase addition improved the use of phytic phosphorous and calcium by the pigs and is recommended as a way to reduce the potential environmental impact of swine production.

Published: December 2015

The aim of this study was to evaluate equations to predict the metabolizable energy (ME) of soybean meal (SBM) for swine. Seven SBM were used, which were analyzed for dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), ash, calcium, phosphorus, solubility in potassium hydroxide (KOH) and urease index. To determine the ME of SBM, 32 barrows, with an average initial weight of 29.01 ± 3.64 kg, were used and distributed in a randomized blocks design, with seven treatments and four replicates. To validate the prediction equations, linear regression models were adjusted, using observed values of ME (metabolism trial) as a function of the estimated ME (obtained by applying the chemical composition of the SBM in selected equations found in the literature). The existence of regression was evaluated by the “t” test, partially applied to each parameter (?0 and ?1). The validation of the prediction models of first degree was obtained by accepting the joint null hypothesis ?0 = 0 and ?1 = 1. The equations ME = 5.42 - 17.2FDN - 19.4MM + 0.709GE and ME= 1099 + 0.740GE - 5.5MM - 3.7NDF are effective for estimating the ME of SBM for growing pigs.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of replacing soybean meal with soybean in multiple supplements on nutritional parameters, microbial efficiency and productive and reproductive performance of heifers grazing in Urochloa decumbens during the drought period. Were used 39 crossbred heifers of initial age and initial weight of 21 months and 309.5±7 kg, respectively. The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments with eight replicates, and a control treatment with seven replications. Two treatments had soybean meal as the protein source and two treatments had soybean as the protein source, containing 25% and 40% crude protein. The amount of supplement offered was 1.0 kg/animal/day. The animals of the control group received only mineral salt ad libitum. The supplemented animals had higher average daily gain (ADG) than control animals (P<0.10), and there was no difference in ADG among the supplements (P>0.10). There was an effect of supplementation (P <0.10) on intake of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC), total digestible nutrients (TDN) and neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash and protein (NDF). There were no differences (P>0.10) on intake of OM and DM grazing between the supplemented and non-supplemented. Supplementation improved DM digestibility and all constituents of the diet (P<0.10). It was found that the provision of multiple supplements optimizes the performance of heifers grazing during the dry season, and that the substitution of soybean meal by soybean did not improve productive performance of animals

Aandacht voor de morele dimensie van toezicht. Een onderzoek naar de inzet van moreel beraad voor inspecteurs

Inspecteurs en toezichthoudende organisaties staan dagelijks voor lastige beslissingen. Het bepalen van wat uiteindelijk ‘goed toezicht’ is, vergt naast regelgeving, vakinhoudelijke kennis en protocollen ook morele afwegingen. In inspectieorganisaties is doorgaans geen tijd en expertise voor een methodische reflectie op de morele dimensie van het werk. Om te onderzoeken of moreel beraad een bijdrage kan leveren aan de omgang met morele vragen in de dagelijkse toezichtpraktijk is een exploratieve pilotstudie uitgevoerd binnen de Inspectie voor de Gezondheidszorg.

Introduction: Reference equations are used to predict normal values for maximal respiratory pressures. Objectives: To develop predictive equations for maximal respiratory pressure in children. Methods: A total of 144 healthy children, aged between 7 and 11 years, were assessed. Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures were assessed with a digital manovacuometer on top of residual volume and total lung capacity, respectively. Results: The variables sex, age and weight showed association with maximal inspiratory pressure, while maximal expiratory pressure, in addition to the aforementioned variables, also showed association with height. After regression analysis, only sex and age had an influence on the variability of inspiratory and expiratory pressures. Conclusions: The present study provides reference values and proposes two equation models that predict maximal respiratory pressure values among children aged between 7 and 11 years.

Este artigo destaca a necessidade de conscientização, através de conteúdos educacionais, em relação aos riscos existentes na Internet. Nesse contexto, foi desenvolvido um Objeto de Aprendizagem(OA) sobre essa temática. O OA foi utilizado em sala de aula pelos alunos e, em seguida, pôde-se comparar o conhecimento e receios dos alunos em relação aos riscos existentes na Internet, antes e após o estudo do Objeto de Aprendizagem.

Authors: Rodrigues Luciene Cavalcanti , Campos Daynara Minucelli , Pupio Susana Cristina
Published: December 2015

Segundo dados da PNAD, realizada em 2012 divulgado em setembro de 2013, no Brasil houve um aumento de 300.000 cidadãos analfabetos no período de 2011-2012, sendo este o maior índice dos últimos 15 anos. Diante destes dados, nota-se que é de suma importância que cursos de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) sejam ministrados por escolas de todo o Brasil, ainda mais contando com parcerias que visam também à inclusão digital (parceria com o IFSP campus Votuporanga). Dentro deste contexto, apresenta-se a experiência com o uso de jogos computacionais (Alfabetizando 2.0) como auxílio à alfabetização de jovens e adultos, sendo que os testes foram realizados com 16 alunos e duas professoras do curso regular, obtendo-se alto índice de aceitação.

El legado metafísico de las cosmogonías. Una tensión recurrente entre las concepciones monistas y las pluralistas
Authors: Romerales Espinosa Enrique
Published: December 2015

Todas las tradiciones del pensamiento religioso-filosófico poseen sus propios relatos sobre la Creación, sus cosmogonías. Aunque son muy diferentes entre sí, podemos agruparlos en dos tipos principales: los monistas y los pluralistas. Tras examinar diversos textos cosmogónicos capitales y clasificarlos en varios subtipos, constatamos que en muchos textos plausiblemente monistas persisten tendencias dualistas y, viceversa, que bastantes textos pluralistas contienen trazos monistas. Hay, pues, una tensión bastante generalizada entre la reducción a un principio único y la presencia de una pluralidad de principios. Pero la intuición metafísica subyacente a todos los relatos es que hubo un origen, una génesis, de forma que el universo no siempre ha sido como lo contemplamos ahora, sino que es producto de una generación y evolución.
Reference is Dead, Long Live Reference: Electronic Collections in the Digital Age
Authors: Terrell Heather B.
Published: December 2015

In a literature survey on how reference collections have changed to accommodate patrons’ web-based information-seeking behaviors, one notes a marked “us vs. them” mentality — a fear that the Internet might render reference irrelevant. These anxieties are oft-noted in articles urging libraries to embrace digital and online reference sources. Why all the ambivalence? Citing existing research and literature, this essay explores myths about the supposed superiority of physical reference collections and how patrons actually use them, potential challenges associated with electronic reference collections and how providing vital e-reference collections benefits the library as well as its patrons.

Application of the Variety-Generator Approach to Searches of Personal Names in Bibliographic Data Bases--Part 1. Microstructure of Personal Authors' Names
Authors: Fokker Dirk W. , Lynch Michael F.
Published: December 2015

Conventional approaches to processing records of linguistic origin for storage and retrieval tend to regard the data as immutable. The data generally exhibit great variety and disparate frequency distributions, which are largely ignored and which entail either the storage of extensive lists of items or the use of complex numerical algorithms such as hash coding. The results in each case are far from ideal.

The variety-generator approach seeks to reflect the microstructure of data elements in their description for storage and search, and takes advantage of the consistency of statistical characteristics of data elements in homogeneous data bases.

In this paper, the application of the variety-generator approach to the description of personal author names from the INSPEC data base by means of small sets of keys is detailed. It is shown that high degrees of partitioning of names can be obtained by key-sets generated from the initial characters of surnames, fmm the terminal characters of surnames, and from the initials.

The implications of the findings for computer-based bibliographical informationsystems are discussed.

The Binary Vector as the Basis of an Inverted Index File
Authors: King Donald R.
Published: December 2015

The inverted index file is a frequently used file structure for the storage of indexing information in a document retrieval system. This paper describes a novel method for the computer storage of such an index. The method not only offers the possibility of reducing storage requirements for an index but also affords more rapid processing of query statements expressed in Boolean logic.
A Neglected Role for Organizational Design: Supporting the Credibility of Delegation in Organizations
Authors: Stea Diego , Foss Kirsten , Foss Nicolai J.
Published: December 2015

Managers delegate the right to make decisions to employees because delegation economizes on scarce managerial attention, fosters the use of local knowledge, and positively impacts employee motivation. This is particularly important in knowledge-intensive organizations that operate in uncertain environments, where employees have specialized knowledge and need to be responsive to local changes. Managers, however, often renege on delegation, particularly in high-uncertainty contexts, because they are tempted to adjust past decisions based on new information. We argue that employees’ knowledge that management may renege on delegated decision rights has negative motivational consequences that are costly in knowledge-intensive organizations. As a consequence, making delegation credible is essential for sustaining the advantages that flow from delegation. Organizational design can play a key role in making delegation credible, supporting the value creation caused by delegated discretion. Our theoretical argument sheds new light on relationships among organizational design, credible delegation, and firm-level value creation.

« A la recherche du temps perdu ». La transmission d’objets de luxe de père en fils, entre cadeau et fardeau
Authors: Kessous Aurélie , de Barnier Virginie , Valette-Florence Pierre
Published: December 2015

Cet article s’intéresse à un thème récurrent de la communication publicitaire des horlogers de luxe : la transmission de montres de père en fils. Il appréhende le double problème auquel sont confrontées les marques de montres de luxe : conserver une clientèle d’hommes mûrs et conquérir une cible plus jeune, leurs fils. Une étude qualitative par entretiens, menée auprès de 15 dyades pères/fils, permet d’identifier les motivations du don et les conséquences de la réception. En amont de retombées managériales importantes, ce travail clarifie la distinction entre don et transmission et contribue à une meilleure compréhension du processus de sacralisation des objets de luxe. Les résultats présentent le don comme l’affirmation du pouvoir paternel sur le fils et la réception comme l’acceptation d’une série d’obligations formelles envers le père. Des pistes stratégiques permettant aux marques de luxe d’asseoir un positionnement transgénérationnel masculin sans générer de sentiments négatifs chez les récipiendaires sont formulées.
L’appropriation des clients dans les boutiques de marque de luxe : proposition d’une typologie
Authors: Welté Jean-Baptiste , Ochs Lionel
Published: December 2015

Cette recherche s’intéresse à la manière dont les consommateurs s’approprient les boutiques de marque de luxe. Elle propose une typologie de consommateurs selon leur appropriation de cet espace en magasin. Quatre catégories ont été identifiées : les « déambulateurs », les « aspirants », les « conquérants » et les « habitués ». Leur appropriation physique en boutique évolue en fonction de leur appropriation de la culture du luxe. La stratégie de distribution de la marque peut donc être adaptée en fonction de ces différents clients en distinguant des boutiques « accessibles » et « exclusives ».
Proposition d’une nouvelle segmentation des jeunes consommateurs chinois des produits de luxe
Authors: Mo Tingting
Published: December 2015

Les consommateurs chinois donnent souvent l’impression d’avoir tous la « fièvre du luxe », mais en réalité ce marché est très hétérogène. A partir d’une recherche empirique effectuée sur un échantillon de convenance de 338 consommateurs chinois de 18 à 34 ans, - groupe de consommateurs très important en Chine -, une segmentation affinée des jeunes consommateurs de luxe en Chine est proposée. Cinq segments et leurs différents profils démographiques, comportementaux et psychologiques sont identifiés. Complétés par des cas et des exemples cohérents et à jour sur ce marché, les résultats de cette segmentation permettent de suggérer des recommandations.
Simone de Beauvoir bajo la dictadura franquista: las traducciones al catalán
Authors: Godayol Nogué Pilar
Published: December 2015

Simone de Beauvoir fue traducida por primera vez al catalán durante el franquismo. El objetivo de este artículo es investigar la censura institucional que experimentaron, en la segunda mitad de la década de los sesenta del siglo pasado, seis obras de Beauvoir para ser publicadas en catalán, desde que las editoriales solicitaron los permisos hasta conseguir las autorizaciones. Después de contextualizar brevemente las traducciones, el artículo se centra en el estudio de los seis expedientes de censura, que nos permitirá averiguar cómo reaccionó la dictadura ante la posibilidad de traducir obras de Beauvoir (considerada por el régimen autora peligrosa por filocomunista, feminista y atea), quiénes fueron sus censores, qué observaciones formularon y, finalmente, qué tipo de castigos intelectuales les practicaron. Palabras clave: historia de la traducción; traducción al catalán; censura; feminismo; Simone de Beauvoir.
La identidad censurada: representación y manipulación de la homosexualidad en la obra Té y simpatía
Authors: Martínez Pleguezuelos Antonio J. , González-Iglesias González J. David
Published: December 2015

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las consecuencias de la acción censora en la creación de la identidad homosexual, para lo cual llevamos a cabo un estudio contrastivo inglés-español de la obra de teatro estadounidense Tea and Sympathy (1953) de Robert Anderson y su adaptación al cine en 1956. En dicho análisis partiremos de la idea de censura presentado por Butler para examinar la selección léxica sexualmente marcada en ambas lenguas, las omisiones, las estructuras semánticas y sintácticas e incluso los cambios en la trama que introdujo la censura para comprobar cómo se recrea la realidad y qué asimetrías se producen en el proceso traductor en función de los sistemas simbólicos heterocéntricos imperantes en el contexto histórico. Palabras clave: censura; identidad; homosexualidad; Té y simpatía.
Traducción, censura y construcción del discurso literario. La labor de los editores J. Janés, C. Barral y J. M. Castellet durante el franquismo
Authors: Jané-Lligé Jordi
Published: December 2015

Traducción y censura tuvieron un papel primordial en la articulación de la vida cultural y literaria durante el franquismo, en este artículo se valoran recientes aportaciones de la traductología para abordar sus relaciones. De un lado se considera críticamente el término textualidad nacional, propuesto por Francesca Billiani, y de otro lado se destaca la distinción entre las alteraciones producidas en los textos traducidos por la censura de aquellas motivadas por otras convenciones literarias, propuesta por Rundle y Sturge. Finalmente se resalta la labor de tres editores: Josep Janés, Carlos Barral y Josep Maria Castellet en la renovación del panorama editorial español y catalán a través de la traducción y se describen sus relaciones con la censura. Palabras clave: traducción; censura; textualidad nacional; mundo editorial; convenciones literarias.
