Authors: Braga Júnior Roberto Alves , Azevedo Roberto Luiz de , Guimarães Renato Mendes , Reis Leandro Vilela
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT The effective production of coffee seedlings faces many challenges, including seed germination. Therefore, a reduced seed germination period can be one of the most relevant contributions to enhance the testing and production of robust seedlings. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of a constant magnetic field on the germination of coffee seeds (Coffea arabica L.). The analyses were performed using a biospeckle laser (BSL) in conjunction with traditional seed viability tests. The coffee seeds were subjected to magnetic fields of constant intensity at values of 10 mT and 28 mT for a time interval of 6 days during their germination process. The embryo region was illuminated, and the images obtained by the BSL were processed. The activity levels of this region were compared with the data obtained using traditional physiological seed analysis. In addition to the results of BSL activity, the results of the seed analysis, such as isoenzymatic catalase (CAT), esterase (EST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and endo-β-mananase, membrane integrity, germination, germination speed index (GSI), emergence speed index (ESI), and radicular protrusion levels, were obtained during the germination process. In conclusion, magnetic pretreatment with both intensities during the first six days of germination improved the permeability of the cellular membranes and advanced the activation of the antioxidant system, thus promoting faster and more uniform seed germination.

Authors: Lins-Filho Ozeas de Lima , Braga Marisa Moreira , Lima Tatiane Melo de , Ferreira Daniela Karina da Silva
Published: July 2020

Abstract Sedentary behavior tends to increase with aging and several studies have focused on analyzing the components which may influence this pattern of behavior. Indirect and direct measuring have been used to determine the relative parameters to this phenomenon while there is no consensus about which parameter should be adopted to conceptualize sedentary behavior, making difficulty to establish comparisons among the studies on this population. The aim of this study was to systematically review the characterization of low level of physical activity and sedentary behavior in studies with older people. Electronic search on Scielo, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed, and ISI Web of Knowledge was carried out. Selection of the studies included: original manuscripts, with elderly analyzing sedentary behavior or low-level pf physical activity through direct and indirect measure. Search initially screened 190 manuscripts yielding 10 relevant studies. Questionnaire, self-reported questionnaire and accelerometer were the instruments used in the studies. Sedentary behavior or low level of physical activity was characterized by analyzing sitting time, physical activity on leisure time, counts per minute, engaging in moderate or vigorous intensity during day or performing physical activities with MET <1.5. There is no standardization of the parameters adopted to characterize sedentary behavior on studies, generating divergent results and making it difficult to establish comparisons.

Published: July 2020

Abstract This study investigate the effect of 10-week strenght training on the amplitude of the electromyographic (EMG) signal of vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and rectus Femoris. Twenty three untrained volunteers performed 3-5 sets (3 sets - weeks 1 and 2; 4 series - weeks 3 and 4; 5 series weeks 5 to 10) with 6 repetitions, intensity of 50% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM), 3 min rest between sets and 6 s repetition duration at the knee extensor exercise. One group (5:1) performed concentric action of 5 s and eccentric of 1 s and the other (3:3) performed concentric of 3 s and eccentric of 3 s. The VM, VL and RF EMG (RMS) activities were recorded in each repetition of the three series at the first training session and the first three series at the last session. The protocol 5:1 led to EMG reduction in all portions, with a greater number of repetitions presenting differences at the VL and RF. VM and RF presented similar results at Group 3:3. It was verified that all the differences occurred in the second half of the series. It was also verified differences in EMG ratios just in group 3:3 and only in VM/VL and VM/RF. These results suggest that the coordination was not affected when equivalent repetitions of series were compared. It was also suggested that these results were influenced by the reduced degrees of freedom of the exercise and the training load progression adopted.

Authors: Carvalho Leonardo Soares de , Crancianinov Camila Sant Ana , Gama Daniel Traina , Hiraga Cynthia Yukiko
Published: July 2020

Abstract Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) demonstrate a slower and more gradual ability to acquire and learn motor skills with practice. One question then is whether a higher volume of practice for these children could match the performance of children with typical development (TD). The present study aims to examine the effects of a higher volume of practice by children with probable DCD (pDCD) in relation to a lower volume of practice by children with TD. The MABC-2 was used to identify the participants' level of motor difficulty and set the composition of the groups. Two active video games (Nintendo Wii) were used for the practice. Each group was composed of eight participants, paired up by gender and age, TD (M = 111.87 months; SD = 4.05) and pDCD (M = 115.87 months; SD = 4.96). The TD group participated in seven practice sessions and the pDCD group participated in eleven sessions. Results regarding performance on Wii console games showed significant improvement from the first day of practice to the last day in both groups (pDCD and TD). A higher volume of practice for children with pDCD compared to their TD peers helped to increase the performance of the former group. Therefore, the pDCD group achieved a performance similar to the TD group in both practiced games.

Methods: Observational study with retrospective cohort design, with secondary data from the Injury of Notification Information System (SINAN). Linear trend test and geoprocessing were performed to verify the behavior of the cases in the period. Results: There were 2,898 reported cases of congenital syphilis in the period, with an average of 2.9 per 1,000 live births in the period. There was an exponential increase of 0.9 percentage points per year, considered statistically significant (p<0.001). There was no difference between the incidences of cases in the different regions of the State. The fatality rate was 8.5%, considering deaths from syphilis, miscarriages and stillbirths. The profile was predominant of white mothers, with low schooling and 11.8% did not perform prenatal care. For this reason, 26.9% of them had a diagnosis of syphilis at the time of delivery. Most of the pregnant women (51.9%) had inadequate pharmacological treatment and 65.1% of the partners were not treated. Conclusions: There was an exponential increase tendency in cases of congenital syphilis in the State of Santa Catarina in the period studied in all regions of the State, which reveals the failure of prenatal care, late diagnosis and inadequate treatment of the pregnant woman and her partner.

Published: July 2020

To assess the evidences of validity and reliability of a set of scales on different areas of job satisfaction (general professional activity, health services management, and working conditions) in Peruvian physicians based on data from the National Survey of Satisfaction of Users in Health (ENSUSALUD). Participants were selected from a two-stage probabilistic national representative sampling stratified by political region. We included 2,137 participants in the analysis. General professional activity scale with 6 items (CFI=0.946; RMSEA=0.071) and the health services management scale with 8 items (CFI=0.972; RMSEA=0.081) showed good measurement properties for the one-dimensional model. The scale of working conditions presented adequate measurement properties with a two-dimensional model (CFI=0.914; RMSEA=0.080): individual conditions (8 items) and infrastructural conditions (3 items). The invariance analysis presented that comparisons can be made between sex, age, civil status, medical specialty, working in other institutions, work-related illness, chronic disease, and time working in health care center. All scales had adequate internal consistency (ω and α between 0.70 and 0.90). Based on our findings, these instruments are suitable for measuring job satisfaction among outpatient physicians throughout Peru, as our data is representative at the country level.

Root nitrate influx v1
Authors: Bendre Prajakta , Melino Vanessa
Published: July 2020

Nitrogen (N) in the form of nitrate (NO3-) can move radially from roots to the vascular tissue from where it is transported to the above-ground organs. Roots are the first to sense the scarcity of nitrogen in the soil. The following protocol describes the step-wise procedure for performing unidirectional root NO3- influx with the use of 15N labelled NO3- at a concentration that stimulates the inducible high-affinity nitrate transporters. Stable isotopes such as 15N can be used to trace the movement of NO3- through the plant. This protocol uses a split-root design where only embryonic roots are treated with the 15N label. The remaining, non-embryonic roots are not labelled but similarly treated. this split-root design can be modified to select and label specific root types based on your interest.

Published: July 2020

Cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue.Without treatment, it can cause serious health issues andresult in a loss of life. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women around the world. Despite enormous medical progress, breast cancer has still remained the second leading cause of death worldwide. Early detection of cancer may reduce mortality and morbidity. This paper presents a review of the detection methods for cancer through Artificial Intelligence (AI) in different ways. Previously Microscopic reviews of tissues on glass slides are used for cancer diagnostics to improve diagnostic accuracy. We can use different techniques such as digital imaging and artificial intelligence algorithm. Cancer care is also advancing thanks to AI’s ability to collect and process data. Due to the nature of processing this information, the task is often a time-consuming and tedious job for doctors. This process may be made much easier, quicker and efficient through the advancement as well as by using modified technologies.

Authors: Kumar Prabhat , Shrivastava Vishal
Published: July 2020

Research on autonomous vehicle system has risen in the past couple of years. It has posed challenges to the researchers to develop an understanding about the real time scenarios. Deep Learning has demonstrated its extraordinary computational potential by transcending its abilities into more complex areas, where pattern matching, image recognition and behavioral cloning plays a vital role.

The system consists of Image Processing and analyzing of the training data into behavioral cloning of the vehicle in a simulated environment. A control algorithm responsible for consolidating the sub systems calculations of the correct steering angle is used to keep the vehicle within the lane markings of the road. The solution proposed requires a better data collection and data interpretation. Addition of cloud computing fastens the data calculation and hence improves the performance of the system.

Nowadays the system which holds private and confidential data are being protected using biometric password such as finger recognition, voice recognition, eyries and face recognition. Face recognition match the current user face with faces present in the database of that security system and it has one major drawback that it never works better if it doesn’t have liveness detection. These face recognition system can be spoofed using various traits. Spoofing is accessing a system software or data by harming the biometric recognition security system. These biometric systems can be easily attacked by spoofs like peoples face images, masks and videos which are easily available from social media. The proposed work mainly focused on detecting the spoofing attack by training the system. Spoofing methods like photo, mask or video image can be easily identified by this method. This paper proposed a fusion technique where different features of an image are combining together so that it can give best accuracy in terms of distinguish between spoof and live face. Also a comparative study is done of machine learning classifiers to find out which classifiers gives best accuracy.

Published: July 2020

Background: Although there is considerable evidence to suggest that varicose veins are less common in developing countries like ours, the absence of adequate epidemiological data leaves the question open. The objective of the study was to assess the risk factors and clinical features of patients with varicose veins in urban patients visiting surgical OPD.Methods: The present cross-sectional observational study was carried out in 60 patients having varicose veins. Clinical features and diagnosis were assessed and analysed using SPSS software.Results: Maximum number of patients 29 (48%) presented in the 31-50 years age group. 88.3% were males and 11.7% were females. 68.3% of patient’s belong to the group whose occupation involved prolonged standing. In 18.3% of patients, both legs were involved. Involvement of great saphenous vein was seen in 51 cases i.e. 85% and in remaining 9 cases (15%), small saphenous vein was involved. In majority of our patients, Doppler study revealed incompetency of perforators i.e. 26 (43.3%) followed by sapheno-femoral as well as sapheno-femoral with popliteal in 16 each i.e. 26.7%.Conclusions: The varicose veins occur in third and fifth decades of life. The occupations involving prolonged standing and violent muscular efforts are more prone for developing varicose veins. Presence of prominent swellings in lower limb and pain were the commonest presenting symptoms. Colour doppler ultrasonography is the investigation of choice in the management of varicose veins. Combined valvular incompetence is more common.

Published: July 2020

Resumen: en el presente artículo se abordarán los aportes realizados por Gramsci en la construcción de la figura del intelectual. Para ello, se caracterizarán los rasgos distintivos del determinismo histórico marxista, para luego enfocarnos en el pensamiento gramsciano. A partir de allí nos centraremos de manera expresa en los argumentos desplegados por Gramsci al procurarle una función activa a la figura del intelectual, en tanto intelectual colectivo que se va conformando encarnado en el partido revolucionario de la clase obrera. De esta manera, plantearemos que esta disposición del intelectual colectivo se enlaza con los problemas de la vida socialen la búsqueda de unificar teoría y praxis, y pretende crear así una nueva hegemonía, puesto que admite la indeterminabilidad de la historia según leyes.
El naturalismo y el realismo de Marx
Authors: Castaño García Christian Camilo
Published: July 2020

Resumen: en el presente artículo se expone la concepción de la naturaleza en el pensamiento de Marx. Al respecto, se argumenta que Marx toma una posición naturalista y realista: naturalista, en cuanto considera que todo objeto natural es un objeto físico (es un objeto sensible); y realista porque considera que la realidad física existe independientemente de nuestras representaciones y del Absoluto hegeliano. Esto se expresa en la crítica de Marx al teísmo y al hegelianismo.
OS RECURSOS NATURAIS NA ERA DO ANTROPOCENO À LUZ DA ECONOMIA ECOLÓGICA
Authors: Silva Ariana Kelly Leandra Silva da , Pardo-Enriquez Dalton , Filgueiras Ligia Amaral , Tavares Roseane Bittencourt
Published: July 2020

O artigo ressalta a importância de compreender como os recursos naturais no século XXI são afetados ao longo da Era do Antropoceno – o período de consolidação e domínio do sistema capitalista, no qual a paisagem natural foi bastante modificada nos últimos duzentos anos. Com o intuito de descrever mudanças socioambientais apontam-se caminhos de sondagem dessa realidade, a fim de estabelecer elos entre a ação antrópica e os ensinamentos da economia ecológica, que pressupõem a sustentabilidade das interações entre estruturas funcionais, principalmente da economia, ecologia, ciência, tecnologia e política. Ao levantar questionamentos a respeito da forma como o capitalismo avançou entre as estruturas laborais, fundamentalmente na composição ecológica, sugerimos como a economia ecológica pode ser um ato de resposta nesse contexto. O levantamento bibliográfico sobre o foco dos recursos naturais na atualidade foi utilizado como eixo metodológico. O efeito da Era do Antropoceno resulta em um discurso baseado no mito do progresso, consequência que acelerou as desigualdades sociais em termos macro, o que dificulta sobremaneira o consenso sobre o aproveitamento sustentável dos recursos naturais, cuja exaustão é um mecanismo que está em desacordo com a harmonia da ecologia, seja ela política, humana ou ambiental, todavia, a economia ecológica baseada na reestruturação da ação antrópica é uma abertura nesse processo.

Este trabalho visa fazer um estudo sobre a pressão que o fornecimento de maquinários e equipamentos tecnológicos aos grandes produtores tem exercido na comunidade extrativista, com enfoque na obtenção de produtos florestais de origem não madeireira. Dessa forma, o objetivo geral foi analisar se a distribuição desses recursos interfere na desigualdade no campo entre os pequenos e grandes produtores. A questão norteadora se baseia na distribuição de recursos como uma forma de impulsionar o agronegócio no mercado interno e externo, o que rebaixa cada vez mais a posição do produtor familiar extrativista. Para isso, adotou-se o método de revisão integrativa, onde o portfólio possibilitou a integração de cinco categorias de causas das desigualdades sociais no campo. Os resultados indicam que (1) as desigualdades sociais, no meio rural têm sido um assunto abordado por diversos pesquisadores, porém pode-se notar pouco interesse por parte das ciências exatas; (2) as abordagens se sustentam em conjunto, tornando o assunto muito mais complexo e abrangente, necessitando de estudos mais profundos; (3) dos resultados destaca-se a exigência de apoio de políticas públicas que auxiliem o pequeno produtor, na gestão de recursos que possibilitem a melhor eficiência de trabalho no campo, principalmente no quesito processamento e/ou industrialização dos produtos não madeireiros oriundos das reservas legais. Dessa forma, espera-se que a pesquisa incentive maiores estudos que aprofundem o tema, além de contribuir para a academia científica, gestores de unidades de conservação e formuladores de políticas públicas com intuito de incentivos fiscais.

Published: July 2020

O presente artigo tem o propósito de analisar a Teoria Schumpteriana com base nas abordagens de desenvolvimento e inovação, fazendo uma conexão com a Economia Criativa, abordando essas perspectivas em um estudo de caso voltado para a caracterização do Turismo Comunitário tendo como experiência o Projeto Saúde e Alegria (PSA) em Santarém/PA. Os procedimentos metodológicos deste trabalho fundamentaram-se em um estudo bibliográfico e de campo, onde realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre autores que discutem as inovações da Teoria Schumpeteriana e uma pesquisa de campo realizada no Projeto Saúde e Alegria, com o intuito de coletar dados sobre as suas ações. O turismo de base comunitária surge como uma alternativa economicamente viável para que se vislumbre de uma melhor qualidade de vida da população, garantindo desenvolvimento local. Portanto, busca-se enfatizar a contribuição do turismo comunitário no desenvolvimento de comunidades locais, através das ações promovidas pelo PSA em parceria com a Cooperativa Turismo e Artesanato da Floresta (TURIARTE). Além disso, ressalta-se que a sociedade externa ainda tem uma visão da região Amazônia distante do real, mesmo que voltado para a importante potencialidade da sua biodiversidade, é necessário ter uma visão mais centrada no que diz respeito a disponibilidade de políticas que tragam progresso social e econômico para a região, sem agressão cultural e natural das regiões.
Математическое моделирование факторов эрозии почв на пахотных землях (на примере территории Республики Татарстан)
Authors: Аввакумова А.О.
Published: July 2020

На современном этапе активизации хозяйственной деятельности человека в условиях возрастающей антропогенной нагрузки на почвы изучение процесса почвенной эрозии и факторов, его обуславливающих, представляет особую значимость. Автором рассмотрены математические модели почвенной эрозии и ее развития, разработанные с целью подробного анализа вклада основных факторов эрозии с использованием данных крупномасштабных почвенных и топографических карт. По результатам исследования выделено наиболее распространенное сочетание тех условий, которые способствуют развитию эрозионных процессов на интенсивно распахиваемых землях в пределах изученной территории (Республика Татарстан). Было установлено, что вероятность проявления эрозии почв, а также увеличения ее интенсивности обусловлены прежде всего ростом величин следующих показателей: уклон, частные водосборные площади, а также ряда производных индексов (индекс конвергенции-дивергенции потока, профильная кривизна и эрозионный потенциал рельефа).

Published: July 2020

С целью выявления приоритетных частей Донецкого региона для формирования региональной экологической сети дается оценка пространственной структуры взаимного расположения двух основных типов его природных территорий – степных и лесопокрытых участков в границах Шахтерского административного района. Вся территория района, разбитая равномерно на квадраты (7×7 км), оценивалась с точки зрения соотношения в них площадей степных и лесопокрытых территорий. Анализ распределения квадратов по площадям степных и лесных участков показал в целом преобладание квадратов с большим участием степных участков, что подтверждает «степной» характер этой части региона. Анализ распределения квадратов по диапазону площадей соответственно степных, лесных и совокупности степных и лесных участков показал, что на территории Шахтерского района для степных участков преобладают квадраты с малыми и большими размерными диапазонами, для лесных участков, напротив, преобладают квадраты с малым размерным диапазоном. Для совокупности степных и лесопокрытых территорий количество квадратов экспоненциально растет с увеличением их размерного диапазона и резко падает только для размерных участков, превышающих 2000 га. Географический анализ показал, что в целом квадраты с большими диапазонами природных территорий преобладают на периферийных частях района, особенно в восточной его части.

Published: July 2020

Приведены результаты инструментального определения мелкодисперсных взвешенных частиц в атмосферном воздухе на территории жилой зоны города Белгорода. Измерения проводили с использованием лазерного анализатора Dust Trak 8520. Получено соотношение РМ10 : РМ2.5 : TSP – 0,57 : 0,28 : 1,0. Установлено, что доля частиц фракции РМ10 в составе суммы твердых частиц составляет от 55,1 до 58,6 %, РМ2.5 – 25,5–32,4 %. Не выявлено превышений приземными концентрациями мелкодисперсных частиц максимальной разовой предельно допустимой концентрации (ПДКм.р.). Выявлены превышения ПДК среднесуточных и среднегодовых приземных концентраций РМ10 и РМ2.5 (до 2,2 ПДК). Результаты работ могут быть использованы для ориентировочной оценки содержания мелкодисперсных взвешенных частиц в атмосферном воздухе жилой застройки, расположенной в зоне влияния выбросов производства строительных материалов.

Background: Beginning in Dec 2019, a novel coronavirus, designated SARS-CoV-2, has caused an international outbreak of respiratory illness termed COVID-19. The workers in the FangCang hospital have to work for more than 8 h and the work is high strength. Furthermore, to protect health and prevent serious cross-infection, they need to wear isolation equipment when working in FangCang hospital. These characteristics increase the risk of cardiac arrest (CA), which seriously endangers the lives of workers.
Methods: We participated in the rescue of the patient and workers at first-line in FangCang hospital, and summarized the rescue strategies for workers rescuing.
Results: Workers with CA were rescued in time according our guideline and showed zero dead in FangCang hospital.
Conclusion: This study establishes the strategy for the CA of workers including the establishment of an in-FangCang resuscitation team, the establishment of a dedicated rescue room, and the formulation of rescue measures and procedures for CA of workers in the FangCang hospital. Therefore, we aimed to provide a strategy for the rescue of workers with CA in the FangCang hospital and share the success in rescuing with the world.
