Authors: Tokarski Rosângela Basso , Matoski Adalberto , Mazer Wellington
Published: July 2023

O passivo ambiental gerado pela construção civil é detectado de várias formas. Uma delas é com a fabricação do cimento, 1,5 bilhões de toneladas de CO2 na natureza. Materiais alternativos têm sido analisados com o objetivo de reduzir o consumo de cimento. Uma alternativa estudada é o rejeito da mineração de carvão, que gera um grande passivo ambiental, visto que 60% a 70% do montante minerado é depositado a céu aberto nas proximidades das mineradoras, causando DAM- Drenagem Ácida de Minas e gerando um impacto ambiental com grandes danos a rede hídrica da região. O objetivo deste trabalho é diminuir esse passivo ambiental substituindo parte do cimento do concreto pelo rejeito, diminuindo assim o consumo de cimento, a durabilidade do concreto com o rejeito passivo de carvão mineral foi analisada estudando a carbonatação do concreto com e sem rejeito passivo de carvão mineral. Para isso, foram analisados quatro diferentes traços de concreto com três níveis diferentes de substituição do cimento por resíduo de carvão mineral, 10%, 20%, 30% e o teor de referência. As amostras foram submetidas a uma cura de 28 dias, divididas em dois grupos, o primeiro grupo foi submetido a um teste de absorção e resistência à compressão. O segundo grupo de amostras foi colocado em câmara de carbonatação por 180 dias, após os quais foram retirados, submetidos a teste com fenolftaleína para leitura da profundidade de carbonatação. Os resultados encontrados mostram que a carbonatação aumenta no concreto conforme aumenta o teor de rejeitos de carvão, substituindo parte do cimento. Os esforços de ruptura de resistência à tração por compressão apresentaram diminuição da resistência com o aumento de rejeitos de carvão na mistura de concreto com 3,49MPa para a mistura de referência e 2,64MPa para a mistura com 30% de rejeito, após a carbonatação.

Published: July 2023

Bu araştırmanın amacı orman suçlarının yasal dayanaklarının ortaya koyulması ve farklı özelliklere sahip bölgelerde orman suç çeşitlerinin yıllara oranla farklılıklarının veya benzerliklerinin tespit edilmesi ve en nihayetinde bu suçların önlenebilmesi için gerekli tedbirlerin alınması için bölgesel özelliklere göre tedbir önerilerinde bulunulmasıdır. Ormanları korumak amacı ile çok iyi hazırlanmış yasal düzenlemeler bile o kuralları uygulayacak kişilerin mevzuatı iyi bilmesi ve etkilerinden çekinmesine bağlıdır. Bu nedenle bazen kurallar kusursuz olsa da sonuç toplumun bilincine ve ihtiyaçlarına göre etkilenmektedir. Çalışmada öncelikle orman mevzuatında yazılı olan hangi hareketlerin orman suçu olarak kabul edildiği, bu hareketlerin özel görünüş şekilleri ile ortaya koyulmuştur.

Daha sonra Türkiye coğrafyasının farklı bölgelerinden üç orman bölge müdürlüğünde (Devrek Orman İşletme Müdürlüğü, İstanbul Orman İşletme Müdürlüğü, Marmaris Orman İşletme Müdürlüğü) son 10 yıl içinde tespit edilen orman suçlarının çeşit ve sayıları veri olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın hipotezi seçilen bölgelerdeki ormanların ve çevresinin çeşitli özelliklerine göre (ağaç türü, orman varlığı, orman köy sayısı, nüfus, kültürel ve sosyo ekonomik durumlar, iklim vb.) orman suç çeşitlerinin miktarlarının değiştiği üzerine kurulmuştur. Ardından suç çeşitleri ve oranları dikkate alınarak özgün bir anket formu oluşturulmuş hem yetkili kişiler ile hem de yöre halkı ile görüşmeler sağlanmıştır. Anket çalışması ile farklı bölgelerde farklı suç çeşitlerine eğilimin olup olmadığı, eğer bölgesel farklılıklar ile suç çeşitleri arasında bir ilişki var ise bu suçların önlenmesinde yine bölgesel özelliklerden faydalanarak çeşitli önlemler geliştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Sonuç olarak bölgesel farklılıkların orman suç çeşitleri ve miktarlarına etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

The museum is a dynamic institution and always developed according to its time. The development of the museum is intended so that the museum can always be accepted by the public. The display system of the museum is referred to as one of the most visible parts of the development of the museum because it has a crucial value and can be an indication of the condition of society at that time. Indonesia had experienced at least three periods of development, namely the colonial period, the independence period, and the post-reformation period (present). This question aims to see the compatibility between the participation of the museum and the development of the community. This article used two data, primary and secondary data. The primary data were obtained from direct observation, while secondary data was derived from a literature study. The data is then described, comparatively explanatively analyzed, and then interpreted. The results of the interpretation are then used to answer the questions posed. The conclusion obtained is that the exhibition system in the colonial period was associated with efforts to study Indonesian cultural objects, the exhibition system during the independence period was intended to spread the nation's ideology, and the post-reformation period emphasized the social role of museums to society.

A viabilidade da produção de biodiesel com a utilização de matérias-primas de maior acidez e baixo custo acarretam um aumento do custo de investimento do processo devido à necessidade de utilizar equipamentos construídos com aços especiais importados. As tubulações e seus equipamentos encontram-se sujeitos aos processos de corrosão por características da interação química com o fluido interno, interação com o ambiente da instalação, oxidação devido às altas temperaturas, ou combinações de processos simultâneos. A seleção de materiais que apresentem compatibilidade entre si e com o fluido do processo, além de propriedades mecânicas apropriadas é de fundamental importância, sendo necessário o estudo de caracterização de ligas e suas taxas de corrosão em função de aplicações específicas. Este artigo teve como objetivo avaliar a resistência a corrosão do aço microligado API X70, um material nacional e de menor custo quando comparado aos aços importados, em contato com biodiesel de girassol. Além disso, também foi investigada a influência da acidez do biodiesel na corrosão do aço testado. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que o biodiesel de girassol pode criar uma barreira protetiva chamada de biofilme sobre a superfície do aço microligado após um tempo de contato, causando uma redução da taxa de corrosão. Após trinta dias de contato com o biodiesel, um aumento significativo na taxa de corrosão do aço foi observado, provavelmente causado pela ruptura do biofilme.

Published: July 2023

An experiment was conducted to study pathogenic and genetic the variability of ten isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (FOC) using six chickpea genotypes and six RAPD markers. The F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri isolates P-12, B-2 and BKN-1 proved to be most virulent to cause wilt disease in chickpea genotypes. These isolates were categorized based on mean wilt incidence into three groups: Group- I Highly virulent (P-12, B-2, BKN-1, FOC-1, S-13 and S-14), Group-II Moderately virulent (N-11 and J-7) and Group-III - Less virulent (D-3636 and U-549). Genetic diversity of F. oxysporum f. sp. Ciceri isolates examined for RAPD analysis revealed that the average number of polymorphic bands per primer were 7.83. The range of genetic similarity was found 0.79 (BKN-1 and FOC-1) to 0.10 (N-11 and B- 2). The average genetic similarity coefficient observed was 0.31 ±.

A field study was conducted to differentiate the aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn) varieties for their vegetative and fruit characters under rainfed hot semi-arid ecosystem of western India during the years 2012-14. Among the cultivars, growth habit was observed upright spreading, tall upright, tall spreading, tall drooping and tall semi- spreading. The foliage was visualized as dense and sparse among all the cultivars. The leaflet colour (green to pale yellowish green), shape (oblong, oval oblong and elliptical), apex (obtuse and acute) also varied among the cultivars. The size of leaves in terms of length and breadth ranged between 1.25-1.47 cm and 0.23-0.37 cm, respectively. The time of fruit set and time of fruit maturity differed considerably among the varieties. The maximum fruit set (51.95%) and fruit retention (26.40%) were recorded in NA 7, whereas same was recorded minimum (36.21%) in Banarasi and Francis (11.34%).Variations in fruit shape, i.e. triangular, flattened oblong, flattened oval, and flattened round, whereas size of the fruit was observed as small large and medium among observed varieties. The highest fruit weight (33.90 g) and specific gravity (1.43) were found in Banarasi while these traits were recorded the lowest in Kanchan and Francis, respectively. The qualitative physico-chemical characters, viz. fruit juice content, acidity, pulp content, vitamin C content, TSS, TSS/acid ratio and stone weight ranged between 40.00-64.45%, 1.34-2.56%, 23.95- 31.95 g, 334.12- 461.76 mg /100gm , 8.00-11.50% and 3.61- 6.74 g and 1.97-2.08 g, respectively. The stone of the fruit also varied with respect to its shape (triangular and oval round) and size (large, medium and small) under rainfed hot semi-arid environment of western India.

Published: July 2023

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the second most important cereal crop in India after rice. In the present study, response of wheat variety PBW-154 against three size classes and six salinity levels was assessed at germination and early seedling stages. For this, seeds of wheat variety PBW 154 were categorized into three size classes (large, medium and small) and kept under six salinity levels ( 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 g/l NaCl). Salinity stress registered the highest detrimental effects on germination percentage of medium sized seed class (83.3%), whereas small size seed class (91.7 %) experienced least ill-effects on germination percentage. The shoot length, root length and total dry weight were significantly influenced by the salinity stress. The maximum shoot length (18 cm) and root length (15.7 cm) were measured for large seed size class at controlled conditions. In general, most of the measured traits showed a significant decline at higher salinity levels suggesting that the most stress tolerant and stress avoider seed size can be explored and economically implicated in farmers' fields.

Authors: PAUL RANJIT KUMAR , RANA SIMMI , SAXENA RAKA
Published: July 2023

Onion prices exhibit very high instability/volatility in all the selected markets of Delhi. The present study aimed to forecast the prices of onion for three markets of Delhi, viz. Azadpur, Keshopur and Shahdara using different foresting techniques. The study was based on times series secondary data on monthly wholesale price of onion from April 2005 to February 2015. After ensuring the stationarity of series after seasonal adjustment and differencing, the best ARIMA model was chosen for individual series. The residuals were checked for the presence of autocorrelation, it was found that the residuals are correlated implying improper specification of the models. Also, the plots of prices in the selected markets also exhibited nonlinearity in the series, which necessitated the application of non-linearmodels to the data. Considering this, squared residuals were checked for the presence of conditional heteroscedasticity. The presence of conditional heteroscedasticity was found in all the three price series. A significant ARCH-LM test and high value of skewness and kurtosis coefficients justify the selection of EGARCH models as the best fit models in these markets. The out-of-sample forecast of onion price has been carried out by using the best fitted EGARCH/GARCH model and it is projected that the prices of onion will be between rupees 1800-1950 per quintal in Azadpur and Shahdara market; while the prices will remain between rupees 2178 to 2413 per quintal in Keshopur market during March to July, 2015.

Published: July 2023

Study of antibiosis is used to identify the sources of resistance in plant germplasm. The quantitative determination of six parameters of antibiosis was carried out in 20 genotypes of maize (Zea mays L.) against Sesamia inferens (Walker). The number of larvae recovered from 30 plants of each genotype at three sampling intervals (7, 14 and 21 days after artificial infestation with neonates) was maximum (39) from WNZPBTL6 and minimum (13) from HKI 1040-11-7 and Basi local. The larval developmental period was found to range from 26-32 days. The expression of antibiosis in terms of prolonged larval period was observed in AEB(Y) C5 55-1 (32 days), PFSR S3 (31 days), CM 202 (31 days), and HKI PC4B (31 days), whereas shortest development period of 26.5 days was recorded in Basi local. Maximum and minimum pupal development period was recorded for AEB(Y)C5 34-7 (10 days) and AEB(Y) C 5-55-1 (7 days) respectively. Strong antibiotic effect of genotype E 30 was observed in terms of the least larval weight (20.53mg). The genotypes Basi local and HKI 164-4-ER-3 did not show much antibiosis as reflected from their maximum larval weight 48.32mg and 46.50mg respectively. The pupal weight ranged from 76.36-120.35 mg in the test genotypes. The leaf feeding symptoms in terms of leaf injury rating (LIR) at 21 days after infestation on a scale of 1 to 9, varied form 4.33-9. Positive correlations were observed between larval weight and LIR (0.52); pupal weight and LIR (0.20); pupal weight and larval recovery (0.27), whereas negative correlation were observed between larval weight and larval period (-0.49); larval weight and larval recovery (-0.46); larval period and pupal weight (- 0.40); and LIR and larval recovery (-0.21). The cumulative susceptibility level of genotypes indicated significant variation among genotypes against Sesamia which can be used to unravel the basis of resistance.

Published: July 2023

An investigation was carried out to evaluate nutritional and anti-oxidant properties of leaf and stem extracts from 10 genotypes of water spinach (Ipomea aquatica Forsk). The extracts were analyzed in terms for protein, sugar, chlorophyll, carotenoid, phenol, proline, flavonoids and ascorbic acid contents. The analysis revealed a significant variation in the level of protein (10.4-151.6 mg/g FW), sugar (0.33-2.98 g/100g FW), chlorophyll (2.50-4.98 mg/g FW), phenol (0.75-2.11 mg/g FW), proline (0.14-36.14 Î¼g/g FW), carotenoid (0.85-0.1.59 mg/g FW), flavonoid (0.1-0.431 mg/g FW) and ascorbic acid (0.21-1.03 g/100g FW) in leaf extract and (protein 13.1-144.8 mg/g FW, sugar 0.43-3.55 g/100g FW, chlorophyll 0.32-0.76 mg/g FW, phenol 0.54-4.76 mg/g FW, proline 0.09-29.46 Î¼g/g FW, carotenoid 0.12-0.29 mg/g FW, flavonoid 0.05-0.231 mg/g FW and ascorbic acid 0.28-0.62 g/100g FW) in stem extract of the genotypes. The results indicate that total sugar, proline and protein in both stem and leaf extracts expressed high heritability coupled with high genetic advance indicating that these traits are mainly controlled by additive genes and progeny selection will be rewarding for improvement of these traits. High heritability values in these traits indicate that expression of characters under study is less influenced by environment. Plant breeders on such basis may make the safe selection on the basis of phenotype of the plant by adopting simple selection schemes. For most of the nutritional and anti-nutritional qualities the genotypic correlation coefficient was recorded higher than phenotypic correlation coefficient. The study indicates significantly less influence of environment on the expression of these nutritional and antioxidant traits.

Published: July 2023

Efforts were made on augmentation of orchids germplasm in different parts of Mizoram, Pakyong (Sikkim) and Pedong (Darjeeling hills of West Bengal) during 2011-2013 to estimate the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, correlation and path coefficient in seventy nine diverse genotypes of orchids on 14 important quantitative traits. Germplasms were evaluated for various vegetative, floral and spike quality related traits. Flower quality characters like length of spike, length of internode of the spike, length of pedicel were found to be high in the species like Arundina graminifolia and Cymbidium aloifolium. However, the number of florets/spike was more in Oberonia orbicularis and Oberonbia iridifolia and Phaius tankervillae recorded biggest floret size. Spike longevity was found to be high in Dendrobium formosum and Vanda parishii. Spike yield was maximum in Dendrobium chrysanthum and Dendrobium eriaeflorum. The study revealed wide variation for all the characters indicating sufficient genetic variability to be exploited in breeding programme. The maximum value of PCV and GCV was recorded for floret diameter. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for plant height, leaves/pseudobulb, florets/spike, floret diameter and pedicel length. Selection on the basis of these characters would be more effective for the improvement of orchids. Spike length showed positive and highly significant association with spike longevity and number of florets/spike at genotypic and phenotypic level. Highly significant correlation of spike yield was found with pseudobulbs/plant, leaf dimensions, flowers/spike and number of spike/pseudobulb at both the levels of correlation coefficient.

Authors: JAT G S , MUNSHI A D , BEHERA T K , TOMAR B S
Published: July 2023

Twenty one F1 hybrids developed from seven diverse inbred of cucumber through a half-diallel mating system. Among parents, gynoecious parent GPC-1 showed maximum GCA effects in desirable direction for node number of first female flower, days to first fruit harvest, number of fruits/plant and vine length. Whereas the another gynoecious parent PPC-2 showed maximum GCA effects in desirable direction for traits like, days to first female flower anthesis, days to fruit set from opening of first female flower, and yield/plant. The monoecious parent Pusa Uday exhibited highest positive GCA effect for fruit length, fruit diameter and average fruit weight. These two gynoecious (GPC-1 and PPC-2) and one monoecious (Pusa Uday) parents were good general combiners for earliness, yield and other yield related traits and could be used in cucumber breeding programmes to improve these traits for the accumulation of favourable genes present in them. In order of merit the gynoecious hybrids P1 × P2 (GPC-1 × PPC-2), P1 × P7 (PPC- 2 × Pusa Uday), P1 × P6 (GPC-1 × Punjab Naveen) followed by monoecious hybrid P3 × P7 (DC-1 × Pusa Uday) which exhibited highest SCA effects for number of characters including total fruit yield/plant. Thus, gynoecious lines in combination with gynoecious and monoecious have enormous potential to breed ‘‘suitable gynoecious genotypes for earliness, yield and yield contributing traits”

The Smart Microgrid (SMG) can be used as a solution to overcome problems with electrical distribution on remote islets. The SMG system allows for a combination of conventional and renewable energy for power generation. Biofuel was chosen as a renewable energy source because of its abundant availability and ease of mobilization. This study examined the performance of B-20, Pure Tamanu Oil (PTO), and Pure Coconut Oil (PCO) in an IDI diesel engine that acts as a backup for SMG systems in the Karimunjawa Islands. The entire SMG system consists of: diesel engine, stabilizer, inverter, PV, batteries, ice maker, and a channel to the electrical grid. The results show that PTO has the highest value of thermal efficiency, that of 17.38%, but with a higher BSFC of 0.54 kg/kWh when compared to B-20 usage (14.69% and 0.51 kg/kWh). According to performance test results, their performance can be compared to the first part of this twin paper, which is laboratory testing, with a range of 2400-3200 W loads. Therefore, it can be said that biofuels are feasible for replacing B-20, as shown in pilot testing.
TikTok Use in Municipal Elections: From Candidate-Majors to Influencer-Politicians
Authors: Cervi Laura
Published: July 2023

TikTok is without any doubt the most successful social network among Gen Zers and, consequently, is increasingly becoming their preferred place to discuss, share opinions, rally around social issues, and express political alignments. Accordingly, both politicians and political parties around the world are joining the platform to connect with young voters: previous exploratory studies, however, have shown that most political actors struggle to adapt to the platform’s affordances, appearing cringy, out of touch, or simply using TikTok as an «old medium», without utilizing it to enhance interaction with citizens.
This article contributes to the emerging stream of literature looking at the political uses of this platform in electoral campaigns by studying its application in a local election, focusing on how Ada Colau, candidate mayor for the 2023 Barcelona Municipal elections, has integrated TikTok in her communication strategy.
Applying an affordance-based multimodal content analysis of all the tiktoks posted during the campaign, the paper discloses that, although not fully exploiting the platform’s affordances –in particular its participatory potential– the candidate optimally adapts to its vernaculars and cultural environment, constructing a highly recognizable personal style, which seems to borrow and implement the marketing techniques used by influencers and internet celebrities. Therefore, the study concludes that Ada Colau can be considered an example of a new category of celebrity politician, the «influencer-politician», suggesting that future research should dig deeper into this novel dynamic of hybridization and cross-pollination between politics and digital cultures.
Theoretical reflections on the use of oral history as a research methodology
Authors: Divino Cláudia Roberta dos Anjos
Published: July 2023

The present text points out theoretical reflections about the basic concepts that surround our theme, such as the gender category, power relations throughout history and the silencing of women in historiography, so that it is evidenced how the history of women has been consolidated in the scientific field. In this perspective, oral history is configured as a collection procedure often used in historical research of education. In this case, we emphasize that this resource allows the researcher to use, in addition to written documents, oral documents as significant elements in the rescue of a story. Thus, the work was based on a bibliographic and conceptual analysis, employing authors such as Ricoeur (2007)), Alberti (2004), Portelli (2006) and Salvatici (2005), who address this theme in their descriptions. Henceforth this collection and analysis of the information based on the aforementioned authors were decisive and pertinent to the construction of this article and, as a result, it is verified that the genesis of women's history follows in the 1960s, concomitantly with the consolidation of oral history.

In this laboratory study, five types of temporary restorative materials were evaluated: self-curing acrylic resin, bis-acrylic resin, light-curing acrylic resin, CAD/CAM machinable, and 3D printed resin. Thirty samples of each material were produced in a circular mold measuring 10 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness. The materials were divided into subgroups (n=10) and immersed in solutions: Coffee, Coca-cola®, and distilled water (control). Color measurements were carried out at baseline, 1, 7, and 14 days using a digital spectrophotometer and the color parameters were calculated according to the CIEDE00 system. The color change data were subjected to two-way ANOVA (temporary material vs time) and posthoc Tukey test (α = 0.05). The materials showed a color change only comparing baseline vs. one day, according to acceptability standard ΔE00 > 1.8. Thus, we concluded that there was a difference in color stability already on the first day of immersion. In ad-dition, the coffee solution showed the highest color variation when compared to the other solutions.

The ashes of sugarcane bagasse from the sugar and alcohol industry are considered an abundant and underutilized by-product. Its use to reduce acidity levels of residual oils in the biodiesel production chain can be a viable alternative. The ashes used in this work were donated by an industry in the region of Uberaba (MG). The material obtained, after being submitted to pre-treatment, was added to the residual oil in different amounts and different temperature and agitation conditions. The results were analyzed using an experimental design, with the aim of determining the best reaction parameters for biodiesel production, taking into account the specification of significant variables and their interactions. The homogeneous production of biodiesel occurred from the use of potassium hydroxide (KOH). For the characterization of the fuel, the reaction parameters were evaluated: acidity (AI) and iodine index, density and relative viscosity. The best ash pre-treatment conditions were the use of 3.6% of adsorbent mass in relation to AI, reaction time interval of 1.6 hours and 1 rpm of agitation. The reduction of the AI ​​obtained in the treated residual oil allowed the evaluation of ash as an effective adsorbent. The characteristics of the final product were within the standards for the production of biodiesel.

Introduction. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescence to the stage which takes place between 10 and 19 years old, is one of the most complex stages and determinants of life, characterized by transformation from child to adult biological and psychosocial. From the anthropometric viewpoint, more than 20% of the total growth of height and up to 50% of adult bone mass is reached during adolescence, hence the importance of adequate nutritional intake through a varied and balanced diet. This context could be approached to make approximations to reality, knowing the knowledge and practices adolescent food from a qualitative paradigm. Objective: To describe the knowledge and practices of school adolescents in situation of obesity. Methodology: Descriptive, qualitative approach participant observation and in-depth interview technique was used. The interviews were conducted until theoretical saturation. The population was made up of seven students of basic level, with a diagnosis of obesity. For the analysis of the information analysis of thematic content is worked. Results: The analysis of speeches showed a category: knowledge (in) common adolescent and family contains two attributes: 1.1) the knowledge of adolescents regarding obesity and 1.2) the knowledge of the family with respect to adolescent obesity. Conclusions: The adolescent acquires this knowledge about obesity according to what the family transmitted it from generation to generation and these have not had impact, so does not become aware of the damage they can cause to their health and make healthy food and exercise care and practices to reduce this problem.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought psychosocial adjustment difficulties to many adolescents, which may favor the abusive use of alcohol. Thus, the objective of the research was to investigate whether during the COVID-19 pandemic there was a change in the amount, frequency and context of alcohol use by adolescents. For this, 253 adolescents, 124 (59%) girls, 81 (38.4%) boys and 48 adolescents who did not identify as male or female answered “other”, with a mean age of 17.33 + 0.92 years old, belonging to the high school of five schools of the state public education network, answered an online form containing short, objective and concise questions about the use, quantity, frequency and context of alcohol use before and during the pandemic of the COVID-19. The data collection instrument was adapted from the Drug Use Screening Inventory questionnaire. The results showed that approximately 43% of adolescents consumed alcoholic beverages before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; that for 78% of adolescents, the COVID-19 pandemic did not influence the consumption of alcoholic beverages; 24.8% reported drinking more after the start of the pandemic than before the pandemic. Regarding the context of alcohol use, approximately 40% drink with friends and 29% with family. Regarding the frequency of use, adolescents drink more on weekends and once a week.

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease and an important public health problem, mainly due to its magnitude and transcendence. Although most cases are characterized as a mild infection, due to its morbidity, the untreated disease can cause economic burden and incapacitation. Periportal fibrosis (PPF) is the most common complication of schistosomiasis mansoni chronic infection and a large number of deaths are mainly caused by the rupture of esophageal varices resulting from portal hypertension (non-cirrhotic). Regarding the diagnosis and assessment of PPF and portal hypertension, different methods are applied. Although wedge liver biopsy is considered the gold standard, it is not justified in non-surgical patients, whereas percutaneous liver biopsy, even considered informative, does not have sufficient sensitivity. Thus, imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and elastography have been applied, not only to support the diagnosis of schistosomiasis, but also to assess signs of portal hypertension. In the present chapter, an evaluation of the non-invasive imaging methods currently available for the evaluation of PPF and portal hypertension in schistosomiasis was carried out. The objectivity of elastography compared to ultrasonography is emphasized, because even though ultrasound is more frequently performed, it still has the limitation of being operator-dependent. Transient elastography (TE) has been applied more and it has shown good results in differentiating clinical forms and PPF stages, in addition to presenting potential in predicting esophageal varices. On the other hand, point shear wave elastography (pSWE) has shown more promising results in the analysis of spleen stiffness, when compared to liver stiffness. Therefore, there is a need for further studies applying liver and spleen elastography in the evaluation of PPF and portal hypertension in these patients.
