Authors: Sohal Amandeep K. , Sharma Ajay K. , Sood Neetu
Published: December 2019

Background:

An information gathering is a typical and important task in agriculture
monitoring and military surveillance. In these applications, minimization of energy consumption
and maximization of network lifetime have prime importance for green computing. As wireless sensor
networks comprise of a large number of sensors with limited battery power and deployed at remote
geographical locations for monitoring physical events, therefore it is imperative to have minimum
consumption of energy during network coverage. The WSNs help in accurate monitoring of
remote environment by collecting data intelligently from the individual sensors.

Objective:

The paper is motivated from green computing aspect of wireless sensor network and an
Energy-efficient Weight-based Coverage Enhancing protocol using Genetic Algorithm (WCEGA) is
presented. The WCEGA is designed to achieve continuously monitoring of remote areas for a longer
time with least power consumption.

Methods:

The cluster-based algorithm consists two phases: cluster formation and data transmission.
In cluster formation, selection of cluster heads and cluster members areas based on energy and coverage
efficient parameters. The governing parameters are residual energy, overlapping degree, node
density and neighbor’s degree. The data transmission between CHs and sink is based on well-known
evolution search algorithm i.e. Genetic Algorithm.

Results:

The results of WCEGA are compared with other established protocols and shows significant
improvement of full coverage and lifetime approximately 40% and 45% respectively.

Conclusion:

This paper proposes an evolutionary method to improve an energy-efficient clustering
protocol for longer full coverage.

Authors: Odejimi Opeyemi , Tadros George , Sabry Noha
Published: December 2019

Background

In Egypt, the population of older adults is rapidly growing. The last census in 2017 indicated that older adults numbered 94.8 million, which is a 2.56% increase from the 2006 census. There is growing evidence that the older population is at greater risk for some forms of mental disorders such as depression, dementia, and many more.

Objective

This study aims to review the current evidence regarding the prevalence of mental disorders among older adults in Egypt. This will be achieved by estimating the current prevalence of mental disorders and identifying any sociodemographic correlations with mental disorders.

Methods

An electronic search of 5 key databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, AMED, and PubMed) from their date of inception was conducted. In addition, scans of reference lists and searches of key journals, citations, and relevant internet resources were conducted. Studies were included if they were published in English, point prevalence studies, conducted with older Egyptians aged ≥60 years, and conducted using a validated diagnostic tool to ascertain mental disorders. Studies that did not meet any of these criteria were excluded.

Results

This systematic review started in November 2018. The literature search of the 5 databases revealed 343 papers. After screening titles and abstracts, scanning citations and reference lists, and searching internet sources, a total of 38 full-text articles were accessed, of which 16 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included. We are currently in the process of data extraction and synthesis.

Conclusions

This research will help bring the scale of mental disorders among older adults in Egypt to the forefront. This may help ensure evidence-based initiatives are established and that priority is given to resource allocation for geriatric mental health in Egypt.

Published: December 2019

Background

Hypertension remains one of the foremost noncommunicable diseases that most often lead to cardiovascular diseases and its different complications. The prevalence of hypertension in Bangladesh has been increasing. However, there are very limited studies that have evaluated the impact of health education and awareness development in mitigating the burden of hypertension and its complications in Bangladesh.

Objective

This study aims to increase awareness, enhance knowledge, and change lifestyle behaviors through health education and the use of mobile health (mHealth) technology among individuals with hypertension living in a rural community of Bangladesh.

Methods

A randomized controlled trial is underway in a Mirzapur subdistrict of Bangladesh. This trial compares two groups of individuals with hypertension: The comparison arm receives health education and the intervention arm receives health education and a periodic mobile phone–based text message intervention. The trial duration is 5 months. The primary end point is participants’ actual behavior changes brought about by increased awareness and knowledge.

Results

Enrollment of participants started in August 2018, and collection of follow-up data was completed at the end of July 2019. A total of 420 participants volunteered to participate, and among them, 209 and 211 were randomly allocated to the intervention group and the control group, respectively. Among them, the ratio of males/females was 12.0/88.0 in the intervention group and 16.1/83.9 in the control group. Data cleaning and analyses have been completed and the results have been submitted for publication.

Conclusions

Periodic short education using mHealth technology in addition to face-to-face health education may be an effective method for increasing awareness and knowledge about behavioral changes and maintaining healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Para ello, sin intentar un estudio exhaustivo, se revisan los cuatro sentidos que el autor considera principales, a saber, el de Constitución como un ordenamiento político de tipo liberal; como el conjunto de normas "fundamentales"; como un documento normativo que tiene ese nombre, y como un texto normativo dotado de ciertas características "formales" propio de un régimen jurídico específico. Al examinar sucesivamente estas cuestiones, el autor expone los diferentes sentidos del concepto de Constitución y aborda algunos de los problemas de la teoría constitucional, como el de la diferencia entre Constitución y otras leyes, el contenido de la Constitución, la Constitución como fuente y los poderes constituyentes y constituidos.
Peningkatan kemurnian selulosa dan karboksimetil selulosa (CMC) hasil konversi limbah TKKS melalui perlakuan NaOH 12%
Authors: Dimawarnita Firda , Panji Tri , Faramitha Yora
Published: December 2019

AbstractCarboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a versatile additive whose needs are fulfilled by imports. This becomes an opportunity to develop local CMC products. CMC can be synthesized from the cellulose of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB). The use of OPEFB as a mixed ingredient of oyster mushroom growing media (baglog) could help the delignification process of OPEFB. Cellulose purified from baglog OPEFB waste using NaOH 10% treatment only produced α-cellulose 80.2% which then being converted to CMC with the purity of 73.4%. Low purity of this CMC did not meet the standard for food-grade which requires purity above 99.5%. This study aimed to improve the purity of cellulose from baglog OPEFB waste by using NaOH 12% treatment. In this way, the purity of the resulting CMC would be expected higher. The resulting CMC product was observed using SEM, FTIR and XRD. The result showed that α-cellulose obtained increased to 84.54% by using 12% NaOH treatment. The resulting CMC had a higher purity level (95.24%). Efforts to increase the degree of substitution and viscosity are still needed to achieve specifications that meet the quality standards of SNI. FTIR and XRD results showed that the characteristics of CMC produced from baglog OPEFB waste were close to commercial CMC as indicated by their functional groups and degree of crystallinity.[Keywords: FTIR, white oyster mushroom, baglog waste, OPEFB, XRD]AbstrakKarboksimetil selulosa(CMC) merupakan zat aditif serbaguna yang kebutuhannyamasihdipenuhi melalui impor.

Authors: YAKAR Burkay , AZAKOGLU KARACA Asli , ONALAN Erhan
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Adherence to antihypertensive therapy is important for blood pressure control. Poor adherence to antihypertensive drug therapy leads to the development of hypertensive complications and increase risk of cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to assess adherence to antihypertensive drug therapy and associated factors among hypertensive patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a simple random sample of 242 patients at the Family Health Center. Adherence to antihypertensive treatment was assessed using the Turkish Modified Morisky Scale (TMMS). The factors affecting the adherence to treatment were obtained with a sociodemographic questionnaire. Blood pressures of all participants were measured from both arms and the mean values were recorded.Results: The mean age of the 242 participants was 60.95 ± 12.54 years. Mean systolic blood pressures of the participants were 139.08±20.78 mmHg and mean diastolic blood pressures were 83.63±11.88 mmHg. Adherence to antihypertensive medication was found 76.9% (non-adherence to treatment was 23.1%) and 75.6% of the participants had sufficient knowledge antihypertensive treatment. Conclusions: We found numbers of drugs taken daily, level of knowledge about treatment and level of education to be the strongest factors affecting adherence to anti-hypertensive medication among our patients. We also found that high adherence to treatment is important for effective blood pressure control. Health workers' questioning the adherence to antihypertensive drug therapy may provide more effective blood pressure control in hypertensive patients.

Published: December 2019

Na região sudeste da Bacia do Paraná, ocorre uma unidade informalmente denominada de Arenito Pedreira. Para definir as relações estra­tigráficas e caracterizar esta unidade foram avaliados dois furos de sondagem e selecionadas amostras representativas para análise petrográfica e contagem modal dos constituintes para definição da proveniência. O Arenito Pedreira está depositado entre a Formação Botucatu, por desconformidade sobreposta, e a Formação Rio do Rastro, com a qual tem contato erosivo. A unidade é composta por uma sucessão de ciclos granodecrescentes constituídos por arenitos conglomeráticos, conglomerados arenosos, arenitos com estratificação cruzada tangencial e cruzada de baixo ângulo, arenitos com marcas de ondas e pelitos laminados, respectivamente. Os arenitos são classificados como arcóseos líticos e arcóseos, tem seleção média, elevados em grãos de feldspatos e quartzo. As feições diagenéticas caracterizam condições de eodiagênese e mesodiagênese, com feições de ambientes de clima continental seco. A análise da proveniência aponta para fontes associadas a arco magmático dissecado. Os litoclastos descritos são semelhantes às rochas encontradas nas unidades do Cinturão Dom Feliciano situadas mais ao sul, no terreno Tijucas e no Batólito Pelotas. Estas informações sugerem uma área fonte próxima e permitem admitir que o soerguimento do Arco de Rio Grande de direção NW-SE, seja responsável pelo fornecimento de sedimentos para a constituição do Arenito Pedreira

Published: December 2019

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a variabilidade sedimentológica e geoquímica sazonal no estuário do Rio Capibaribe, Pernambuco. As amostragens foram realizadas nos períodos secos e chuvosos dos anos de 2010 e 2011, e submetidas à análises granulométricas, quantificação dos conteúdos de matéria orgânica total e teores de carbonato de cálcio e composições isotópicas de carbono e nitrogênio. Os resultados sedimentológicos variaram para o estuário de silte muito fino a silte grosso, com predomínio de silte grosso e de silte grosso a areia grossa, para a plataforma continental interna, com predomínio de areia média. O conteúdo da matéria orgânica e os teores de carbonato variaram de 1,5 a 21,7% e 1,7 a 87,3%, respectivamente. As porcentagens de carbono orgânico, nitrogênio total, razão C/N e suas razões isotópicas variaram de 0,11 a 8,87%; 0,01 a 1,02%; 6,01 a 18,81; -25,90 a -20,85‰PDB e -1,14 a 7,66‰Ar, respectivamente. Os altos índices pluviométricos incrementaram no volume de água do rio, aumentando a energia hidrodinâmica e, consequentemente, intensificou o processo de erosão das margens bem como, o carreamento de sedimentos finos e MOT para a plataforma continental. Durante os períodos mais secos o estuário apresentou um comportamento de retenção de sedimentos finos e matéria orgânica, ocasionado pela diminuição da energia hidrodinâmica no sistema estuarino. Os resultados isotópicos demonstraram que o estuário apresentou diferentes fontes de MOT. O estuário registrou impacto ambiental indicado pela razão isotópica δ15N oriundo dos dejetos urbanos lançados no sistema, caracterizando evidências de poluição antrópica (δ15N <2‰Ar).

Published: December 2019

Electromagnetic disturbances from natural phenomena such as lightning, or
those generated from industrial activity, can cause harmful interference in
onboard electronic systems. The disturbances are generally transformed into
radiated and conducted disturbances, using wired connections to spread their
effects in electrical and electronic systems. In order to identify the paths
of propagation and coupling of these HF currents into a complete system and
propose solutions to reduce EMC interference, it is necessary and important
to carry out experimental case studies on the coupling between shielded as
well as unarmoured cables, in order to identify the importance of
differential and common-mode currents. Measurements were made using a 4-way
vector network analyser giving the results of the crosstalk between victim
and culprit cables as well as for module and phase.

Published: December 2019

The main problem for modern visible light face recognition has been accurate
identification under variable environmental conditions. Thermal infrared
facial images utilization in face recognition systems can provide a solution
for problems related to uncontrolled environmental conditions, especially to
those caused by illumination limitations. This paper compares the results of
the use of visible light and thermal infrared imagery for face recognition
based on the HOG feature descriptor. In particular, the paper suggests an
optimal HOG cell to image size ratio in order to improve recognition
accuracy and reduce computational complexity. Performance statistics are
presented on facial images with different facial expressions. The obtained
results support the conclusion that recognition with thermal infrared images
is more robust and that fusion of sensors should be included for improving
recognition accuracy.

Clarice Lispector e Virginia Woolf_ Trajetos e encruzilhadas
Authors: De Oliveira Solange Ribeiro
Published: December 2019

Descartando afinidades estilísticas, o ensaio analisa aspectos temáticos comuns à obra de Virginia Woolf e de Clarice Lispector. Como tema central, recorrente na ficção de ambas, destaca a busca de uma realidade última, inatingível. Em A Paixão segundo G.H., da escritora brasileira, e em To the Lighthouse,  da romancista inglesa, os conflitos existenciais se entrelaçam com questões de gênero, sobretudo a alegada incapacidade da mulher para a criação artística. Entretanto, as protagonistas de dois romances_ a pintora em  To the Lighthouse,  e a escultora em A paixão segundo G.H._ acabam por encontrar, na arte, a plenitude que lhes foge na vida amorosa e social.  Apesar dessa  solução, as duas artistas ilustram  a chamada “estética da castração”, permanecendo amadoras, sem jamais expor seus trabalhos.Como suporte da argumentação, o texto evoca reflexões de filósofos e historiadores da arte a respeito da função da criação artística na vida humana.
'Uma aprendizagem' outra: ensaio crítico-criativo de 'O livro dos prazeres', de Clarice Lispector
Authors: Dultra Maruzia De Almeida
Published: December 2019

Este ensaio se apresenta como uma carta da personagem Loreley endereçada a Ulisses, professor de Filosofia por quem ela é apaixonada. Como estratégia poética, rearranjamos trechos do livro Uma aprendizagem ou o livro dos prazeres (LISPECTOR, 1970), para constituir a escrita de Lóri enquanto remetente. Portanto, o romance se torna epistolar a partir do presente texto, que realizamos através do “modo intensivo de leitura” (DELEUZE, 2010) da obra, e do modo intensivo de escritura, tanto de Clarice Lispector, quanto da carta que aqui enviamos. Em lugar da interpretação da escrita clariceana, optamos pela experimentação a partir dela, ficcionalizando não só o livro, mas o próprio ato literário. Todo este texto é uma citação adulterada que clama pela narrativa como um “bloco de sensações” (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 2010), trazendo para o corpo que escreve a voz da protagonista e colocando o leitor no lócus de personagem da trama, o destinatário da epístola.

Teacher Title System and Teacher Empowerment in China
Authors: Zhang Ying , Tsang Kwok Kuen
Published: December 2019

The teacher title system is a strategy used by China government to cultivate teacher professionalization. Although teacher empowerment is an essential component of teacher professionalization, few studies have investigated the impact of the teacher title system on teacher empowerment in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the teacher title system. Thus, the study examined the relationship between the teacher title system and teacher empowerment by surveying 262 primary and secondary schoolteachers in a city in Liaoning Province. The findings suggest that the teacher title system might insufficiently empower teachers in China. Implications for teacher professionalization in China are discussed and suggestions for further studies are also addressed.
Critical elements in teacher collaboration to bring about change in bringing an English language focus to science teaching
Authors: Gray Susan , Ward Gillian
Published: December 2019

Peer learning offers powerful spaces for teachers to reconsider beliefs and change practice. Although productive teacher collaborations have been identified, there are few descriptive accounts explaining the detail of these collaborations and specifying conditions that enabled teachers to learn from each other. This article explores the ways in which two secondary school science teachers used the framework of an action research project to take a language focus in the teaching of science. This joint work involving devising, implementing and evaluating a work plan, enabled them to challenge their beliefs and practices. Insights into requisite conditions and the dilemmas experienced for any collaboration leading to teacher change in beliefs and practices when bringing a specific language focus to their science teaching are explored.

Published: December 2019

Formar capital social para la apropiación colectiva favorece la conservación de los ecosistemas forestales de propiedad social. En México, la propiedad social alberga 60% de los ecosistemas forestales, y en éstos coexisten mezclas individuales y colectivas de apropiación. Mediante la acción colectiva, se estudió la organización del trabajo, los lazos de parentesco inscritos en ella y su expresión en ámbitos individuales y colectivos en cinco ejidos de Tabasco y Chiapas, con objeto de examinar la territorialización del capital social para la apropiación forestal comunitaria. Los resultados reflejan un incipiente proceso de construcción del capital social para la acción colectiva y una estructura comunitaria fragmentada.
De la antropología demográfica a la arqueología demográfica: el estudio de las poblacionales extintas
Authors: Arieta Baizabal Virginia
Published: December 2019

Hay una tendencia actual a definir a la antropología demográfica como una propuesta nacida desde la antropología física. No obstante, este enfoque teórico-metodológico se fundamenta, desde sus inicios, en la profunda relación histórica entre la demografía y la antropología –esta última concebida desde una perspectiva holística, donde necesariamente convergen los modelos teóricos, métodos y técnicas de todas las ramas antropológicas–. Este artículo muestra el aditamento de elementos al método de la denominada arqueología demográfica, para la obtención y análisis de información con la finalidad de inferir la estructura demográfica de poblaciones extintas a través del cálculo de habitantes por asentamiento y vivienda mediante nuevas tecnologías para el análisis espacial. Recurrimos a un estudio de caso en torno al sitio olmeca de San Lorenzo, con la finalidad de exponer el potencial del enfoque y mostrar que las investigaciones desde este campo, concebido como parte integral de la antropología demográfica, tienen que desarrollarse necesariamente desde la intradisciplina, interdisciplina y transdisciplina, con la finalidad de contribuir a la comprensión de las variadas y complejas estructuras de las poblaciones humanas del pasado.

This study was intended to examine the influence of service worker’s empathy(emotional contagion, empathic concern) on their burnout and engagement. We hypothesized empathy as interactive emotional trait would have incremental interpretation over emotional intelligence and PANAS as individual emotional trait. The participants were 226 employees of a call center. The primary implications were followings. First, empathy significantly influenced on burnout and engagement even after control of emotional intelligence and emotional labors(surface acting, deep acting). Second, there is no moderating effect of emotional contagion on the relation between surface acting and burnout that high surface acting influenced high burnout regardless of the emotional contagion level. Third, deep acting mediated between empathic concern and engagement. Forth, empathic concern reduced the influence of emotional contagion on burnout. Finally, the implications and limitations were discussed.

The research focuses mainly on the ichthyoplankton of the Baltic deeps – the inflow route from the North Sea. The ichthyoplankton was represented by eggs and larvae of nine fish species: sprat, cod, herring, European flounder, fourbeard rockling, longspined bullhead, straightnose pipefish, sand goby and great sandeel. The species composition of ichthyoplankton varied depending on the location of a given site – the number of taxa ranged from one to five. The Slupsk Furrow was the most diversified area in terms of the number of taxa, while the highest abundance of ichthyoplankton occurred in the Bornholm Basin. The sprat clearly dominated and inhabited all the surveyed depths. Of the remaining species, only cod eggs as well as eggs and larvae of the fourbeard rockling significantly contributed to this formation. They occurred within their main spawning grounds (Bornholm Deep in the near-bottom layers) and secondary spawning grounds (Slupsk Furrow and Gdansk Deep) where salinity and oxygenation of water favored their development. Biometric research has shown that the diameter of eggs was within the size range typical of the Baltic Sea.

In 1996–2008, macrozoobenthos of the Small Aral Sea was investigated. A total of 320 macrozoobenthos samples were collected. Statistical analysis and statistical mapping were performed using Statistica and Photoshop software. Ten taxa of macrozoobenthos were identified, with an average water salinity of the Small Aral Sea ranging from 6.3 to 19.0 PSU. Average annual community abundance reached 1962 specimens m−2, with biomass of 107.1 g m−2. Quantitative variables of macrozoobenthos decreased by an order of magnitude by the end of the analyzed period. The polychaete Hediste diversicolor and mollusks Abra ovata, Cerastoderma glaucum, Caspiohydrobia sp. were the dominant taxa. Statistical mapping and correlation analysis revealed that the high biomass of A. ovata and Caspiohydrobia sp. occur in areas with high water salinity. Aggregations of the mollusk C. glaucum were observed in various areas of the sea. The polychaete H. diversicolor preferred areas with relatively low salinity. Analysis of the results showed that the optimum salinity gradient with Aral salt composition was 17–27 PSU for A. ovata, Caspiohydrobia sp. and C. glaucum, while 1–27 PSU for H. diversicolor. Along with changes in water salinity, the currently growing pressure from freshwater fish is an additional factor affecting the structure of benthic communities in the Small Aral Sea.
Poorly controlled asthma: is it really asthma?
Authors: Abrantes Tito , Silva João
Published: December 2019

Asthma is a common disorder, sometimes with nonspecific presenting features, which can lead to misdiagnosis. To obtain a definitive diagnosis of difficult-to-treat asthma, it should be ruled out non-adherence to prescribed therapy, other diagnosis or even psychiatric problems. The authors present two cases in which patients had symptoms that mimic asthma or complicated asthma management: foreign body aspiration mistaken as asthma and difficult-to-control asthma due to tracheal stenosis. Through this article, we recall the importance of anamnesis and differential diagnosis as key steps to the patient’s best approach.
Pulmonary rehabilitation and tuberculosis: a new approach for an old disease
Authors: Mahler Beatrice , Croitoru Alina
Published: December 2019

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The impact on patient’s life is significant, leading to physical, mental and social deconditioning, not only in active TB but also in post TB sequela. Although with specific antituberculous treatment sputum negativity can be achieved, TB extrapulmonary symptoms such as cachexia, muscle weakness and depression may persist for a long time.

The pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) may be a useful tool in this patient’s therapy in active and also in sequela phase. The benefits of PR are: reducing symptomatology, improving the degree of functional independence and quality of life, and increasing the ability to perform daily activities. This article discusses the components of a PR programme in active TB and TB sequela, and the results obtained by studies so far.

Published: December 2019

Background: Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are prevalent conditions among patients of different ages, with varying airway causes and risk factors. First line of management is conservative, but surgical interventions like uvulopalatoplasty is also a common approach in snoring and OSAS. The aim of this research was to study the long-term efficacy of radiofrequency coblation uvulopalatoplasty in the treatment of OSAS. Methodology: It was a questionnaire based cross sectional study conducted in Aljabr OPH ENT Hospital in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. All Patients who underwent coblation uvulopalatoplasty for soft palate and uvula redundancy were included. Patients quality of sleep was assessed using Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and Thornton snoring scale pre-operatively and post-operatively retrospectively. Results: Fifty three participants responded to their interviews, consisting of 96.2% males, weighing 88.57 kg ± 14.19, and height was 171.11 cm ± 7.92 on average. Body mass index was 30.37 ± 5.27, however, most of the participants were overweight (2529.9). The ESS score changed significantly post-operatively with mean score of 3.13 ± 3.057 (p < 0.0001). Thornton snoring scale post-operative scores changed with high significant values, i.e., 4.74 ± 3.033 (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: This study showed significant reduction of ESS scores among patients who underwent coblation uvulopalatoplasty. Coblation uvulopalatoplasty is an effective treatment option in adults with OSAS. Further studies with large sample size and more accurate testing quality are recommended for more accurate analysis of sleep quality.
"Id", "ego" i deficyt superego w obrazie psychologicznym bohaterów powieści "Zazdrość i medycyna" Michała Choromańskiego
Authors: Setlak Wiesław
Published: December 2019

Id, ego and superego deficit in a psychological image of the protagonists of ″Jealousy and Medicine″ by Michał Choromański Jealousy and Medicine – a novel by Michał Choromański, published in 1933, evidently breaks out of the convention of psychological realism thriving on the achievements of behavioural psychology, dominant in the interwar period. Choromański’s work is an innovatory experiment on composition and thought; the world shown in the novel resembles a psychotic maligna or oneiric vision. The whole novel prompts interdisciplinary research using psychoanalysis of Sigismund Freud, Charles Mauron’s psychocritical method, being a transformation of classical Freudian psychoanalysis (with Otto Rank’s modifications), contemporary psychology of a creative process and the methodologies of psychological research which are accepted and occasionally used by contemporary literary studies. Choromański’s novel is deemed the most discerning studium of jealousy in interwar literature.

Coffee is the second most common trade commodity in the world after petroleum. The coffee industry generates large amounts of waste in the form of coffee peels. Coffee peel waste consist of lignocellulose containing hemicellulose and other chemical compounds. The objective of this research was to extract xylan, the main component of hemicellulose from coffee waste, and to utilize the xylan in the production of xylooligosaccharide (XOS). Xylan was extracted from coffee waste using NaOH solution and neutralized by HCl 6 M. Afterward, xylan was precipitated using ethanol. Various NaOH concentrations (4, 8, 12 and 16 % w/v) were used to obtain the xylan. NaOH solution with a concentration of 12 % results 43 % extraction of xylan from coffee waste. Xylan obtained from the extraction was hydrolyzed using endo-β-1,4-xylanase from Bacillus sp. to produce XOS. The incubation time of enzyme-substrate was observed at 40 oC, pH 5 and enzyme dose of 23.6 U. Thin layer chromatography results showed that the hydrolyzed products of xylan are XOS with composition xylobiose (X2), xylotriose (X3), xylotetraose (X4) and xylopentaose (X5). LC-MS studies revealed that X2 is the dominant product with the concentration of 6.00 ppm. This research demonstrates the potential to utilizate coffee peel waste as a source of xylan for the production of XOS.

The final disposal of organic wastes has become a major challenge with increasing industrialization and population growth. Coffee wastes are examples of this, thus the conversion of these biomasses into biochar through pyrolysis could provide economic and environmental benefits, such as remediation of heavy metal polluted water. Therefore, in this work, biochar produced at 700 °C from spent coffee grounds and coffee parchment were evaluated for Zn removal from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption tests were performed with six Zn concentrations and four replicates for each material. The desorption process was performed sequentially with a pH 4.9 buffer acetic acid solution. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were fitted to the adsorption data using non-linear models. Batch adsorption tests showed that the adsorption was strongly dependent on biochar properties. Biochar prepared from coffee parchment was more effective at Zn binding, showing the highest adsorption capacity (0.792 mg g-1). Nevertheless, both biochars bounded Zn strongly and the adsorption process was not easily reversed.

Neste estudo de caso, objetiva-se analisar as mudanças ideacionais nas representações de Brás Cubas, narrador e personagem principal de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (ASSIS, 1881) presentes na tradução de Alatorre (1951). Neste artigo, o conceito de mudanças ideacionais, cunhado por Rodrigues-Júnior e Garcia de Oliveira (2015), é entendido como a alteração em qualquer elemento da transitividade que provoca uma representação no texto alvo (TA) diferente daquela do Texto Fonte (TF) (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2014). O procedimento metodológico utilizado foi o uso das ferramentas do WordSmith Tools para descrição e análise dos elementos de transitividade. As análises confirmam a hipótese da pesquisa, a de que houve escolhas que provocaram mudanças ideacionais na representação ficcional de Brás Cubas. Verificou-se, igualmente, que as mudanças ideacionais nem sempre provocam a alteração na equivalência semântica.
