RESUMO A deformação permanente nos revestimentos asfálticos constitui-se em um dos principais defeitos encontrados em pavimentos rodoviários e urbanos. Nesse contexto, estudos têm sido realizados sobre a contribuição da granulometria para minimizar esse tipo de problema. O trabalho em pauta avaliou a influência da estrutura mineral no desempenho mecânico, quanto: Índice de Densificação na Compactação, Índice de Densificação pelo Tráfego, Resistência à Tração por Compressão Diametral, Ensaio Uniaxial de Carga Repetida – Flow Number e Dano por Umidade Induzida. Pesquisaram-se duas misturas asfálticas. A primeira, composição referência, M0, habitualmente aplicada nos pavimentos manauaras e projetada segundo a metodologia Marshall. A segunda, a formulação proposta no presente estudo, M1, utilizou critérios mais atuais de dosagem, tais como: metodologia Superpave, Métodos Bailey e Faixa de Agregados Dominantes, fundamentada num forte esqueleto pétreo de graduação graúda, excluindo a areia natural presente na M0. Os resultados mostraram que a mistura asfáltica M1, relativa à composição asfáltica M0, alcançou melhor desempenho para vias com alto volume de tráfego e em condições severas, pois apresentaram deformações permanentes menores em relação a Mistura M0 comumente usadas nos pavimentos Urbanos.

Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Lagoquilascariasis is a zoonotic disease caused by a nematode parasite of the genus Lagochilascaris (Family Ascarididae), with the ingestion of contaminated rodents being the main source of infection. The main clinical signs are dysphagia and the presence of ulcerated nodules in the cervical region. The objective was to describe a case of lagaroquilascariasis in a domestic cat, in the city of Caxias do Sul / RS. A young adult male feline, without defined breed presented lethargy, dehydration, bilateral fistulas in the oropharynx cavity, right eyeball with exophthalmos, corneal opacity, third eyelid prolapse and periocular ulcerated skin lesion in the upper medial region. The diagnosis was made through the visualization and microscopic identification of the parasite Lagochilascaris minor and coproparasitological examination with the presence of eggs. Treatment was based on the use of doramectin and sanitary measures. According to the current literature, there are few reports of lagoquilascariasis in felines with clinical presentation similar to this case, since the most common is the formation of an abscess in the neck region. Morover, it is the first case described in the municipality, thus contributing to the epidemiology of the disease.
Assessment of occlusal ridges in premolar teeth before and after dental treatment in equines
Authors: Dietrich L.O. , Costa A.S. , Nóbrega F.S. , Malschitzky E.
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Occlusal ridges of equines appeared in the evolutionary process of the species to increase its capacity of grazing and trituration. The difference in hardness of dental tissues (cementum, dentin, and enamel) and masticatory pressure on the occlusal surface of the hypsodont tooth promote the appearance of sharp occlusal ridges. The aim of this study was to measure and compare the height of the occlusal ridges (HOR) of the fourth premolar (Triadan 408) before and after odontoplasty. Ten Mangalarga Marchador mares aged 5 to 12 years, under extensive management, were evaluated by measuring the HOR in Triadan 408, using plaster models before, immediately after (D0), 15 days (D15) and 50 days (D50) after odontoplasty. Immediately after the procedure the HOR was only 21.9% of the HOR before the occlusal equilibration; however, in 15 days after odontoplasty, 65.9% of HOR was already reestablished and 80.3% after 50 days of the procedure. HOR in the buccal side resurfaced before the lingual HOR, suggesting a higher masticatory pressure of these buccal points. Results of the present study indicate that 15 days after the dental treatment, equines already have food trituration capacity, since HOR is apparent on the occlusal surface of the premolars that underwent odontoplasty.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to describe weekly variations in the type and duration of training, as well as wellness-related parameters, in elite volleyball players. Twenty-four youth elite volleyball players from the French national team (age: 17.8 ± 1.0 y.o.) were monitored daily, and the type of training, training duration, participation in matches, and wellness status were measured over 22 weeks. Volleyball training duration varied from 100 to 510 minutes per week, while strength and conditioning training duration varied from 97 to 262 minutes per week. Fatigue levels varied from 1.5 to 2.8 A.U., and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) varied from 1.5 to 2.5 A.U. Large positive correlation were found between sleep and match duration (r = 0.64) and between stress and weekly volume (r = 0.52). Additionally, moderate positive correlation were found between fatigue and match duration (r = 0.36); between sleep and weekly volume (r = 0.35); between DOMS and match duration (r = 0.43); between stress and strength training (r = 0.42), volleyball training (r = 0.35), and match duration (r = 0.47). The present study revealed natural variations in training volume across the season and moderate dependency between weekly training/match durations and wellness status.

ABSTRACT Leukemia’s are characterized by the proliferation of immature white blood cells, called blasts, in the bone marrow and / or blood. Among them, we highlight the Monocytic Acute Myeloid Leukemia, which represents a malignant neoplasm whose unnatural monoblast proliferation results in suppression of myeloid series cells. Oral manifestations are common, arising at the onset of the disease and are also associated with chemotherapy during treatment leading to complications that compromise oncotherapy. The present study deals with a patient with this type of aggressive leukemia, with oral complications of the disease and later, oncological treatment. It also give prominence the performance of the dental surgeon in distinct phases of the treatment emphasizing the importance of maintaining oral health in cancer patients. The presence of the Dentist in the multi-professional team contributes to the reduction of manifestations that occur both due to the disease and the treatment, ensuring a better quality of life for cancer patients and avoiding higher expenses to the health system.

RESUMO Objetivo avaliar o efeito da variação da intensidade de estimulação sobre as respostas das emissões otoacústicas produto de distorção em indivíduos com perda auditiva neurossensorial, utilizando um protocolo de gradiente de fase das emissões. Métodos estudo observacional transversal. Participaram 38 indivíduos com diagnóstico de perda auditiva neurossensorial de grau leve, moderado ou severo. Foram realizadas anamnese, meatoscopia, audiometria tonal liminar, logoaudiometria, imitanciometria, emissões otoacústicas produto de distorção e emissões otoacústicas residuais. As emissões otoacústicas residuais foram coletadas com o equipamento Echodia, modelo Elios®. O protocolo utilizado permite a variação dos parâmetros frequência e intensidade e as respostas são analisadas por meio do teste do Gradiente de Fase. As respostas registradas nas emissões residuais foram consideradas como “presente”, “ausente” e “artefato”, considerando a variação da fase em função de f1. Resultados Foram incluídas 72 orelhas. Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa nas frequências de 1300 Hz e 2000 Hz, ao comparar os resultados das emissões residuais. Ao correlacionar o resultado da audiometria e a intensidade de estimulação que evocou a emissão residual, houve correlação positiva para as frequências de 1000 Hz e 4000Hz. O “artefato” foi registrado, principalmente, nas frequências mais agudas: 56,2% em 3000 Hz e 58,2% em 4000 Hz. A emissão otoacústica residual presente foi registrada em 18,6% em 1000 Hz, 13,4% em 2000 Hz, 6,3% em 3000 Hz e 7,5% em 4000 Hz. Conclusão o aumento da intensidade de estimulação no exame de emissões pode auxiliar no estudo das células ciliadas residuais, desde que seja utilizado um protocolo capaz de diferenciar respostas fisiológicas de artefatos.
O grau de rigidez dos custos dos produtos e o pagamento de dividendos no mercado de capital brasileiro
Authors: Gouveia Santos Sergio , De Almeida Lima Lauro Vinicio
Published: May 2022

A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar o reflexo do grau de rigidez dos custos dos produtos vendidos (CPV) na política de pagamento de dividendos das companhias brasileiras não financeiras de capital aberto, no período de 2005 a 2019. O estudo parte da possibilidade de existir rigidez nos ajustes dos custos dos produtos para as empresas que podem não acompanhar as variações nas receitas, inclusive diante de um cenário de diminuição no nível de atividade, comprometendo o resultado e suas destinações, como o pagamento de dividendos. A partir da validação da existência de rigidez no comportamento dos custos na amostra selecionada, por intermédio de um modelo regressivo, adotou-se uma proxy de intensidade dos ativos para mensurar o grau de rigidez e seu reflexo no pagamento de dividendos, utilizando a técnica de dados em painel de efeitos fixos. Como resultado, foram obtidos indícios de que o CPV varia em 0,96% para aumento de 1% na Receita Líquida de Vendas, enquanto diminui apenas 0,89% no inverso. Já um aumento no grau de rigidez dos custos reflete uma diminuição de 0,50 nos dividendos pagos, que também são impactados negativamente pela alavancagem financeira e positivamente pelos fluxos de caixa operacionais, de acordo com os dados da pesquisa. Assim, o estudo inferiu que entidades com maior grau de rigidez na estrutura dos custos tendem a pagar um nível menor de dividendos.

Authors: Kim Su Kyoung , Hwang Yu Seong , Jang Jae-Won , Jo Heui Sug
Published: May 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of social robots. When social robots are used by older adults with cognitive impairment, whether the care burden of family caregivers with cognitive impairment decreased, and if there is a change in personal and role strain.Methods: This study conducted a randomized controlled trial to examine the reduction in care burden (role strain, personal strain) of 27 family caregivers under the age of 60 after having older people with cognitive impairment use social robots at home for 6 weeks. For analysis, the Mann-Whitney U-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were performed using SPSS version 26.Results: The pre-post survey result presented that care burden was not statistically significant but decreased in the experimental group (Z=-0.699, p=.485). Role strain, one of the sub-questions of care burden, presented a statistically significant reduction effect in the experimental group (Z=-2.031, p=.042). However, there was no statistically significant change in personal strain in both groups.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest the necessity of providing information reflecting the needs of family caregivers using social robots. In addition, the results present a way to respond to emergencies utilizing social robots’ monitoring functions and reduce family caregivers’ care burdens by offering services such as counseling and self-help groups. Furthermore, related organizations must educate formal and informal care workers on social robots.

The aim of the experiment was to determine the effects of auxin and cytokinin application on vegetative propagation of Asystasia gangetica for forage production. Stem cuttings were treated with 9 different hormone levels; control (without hormone), immersion of ends of cuttings in 50, 100, 150, and 200 ppm solutions of auxin (indole 3-acetic acid) and immersion of ends of cuttings in 50, 100, 150, and 200 ppm solutions of cytokinin (benzyl amino purine) for 15 minutes, followed by planting in plastic trays. After 21 days, cuttings were transplanted into soil in polybags in the greenhouse. Forage was harvested 50 days after transplanting to determine yield and quality. The results showed that hormones affected plant height, leaf number, primary branch number, tertiary branch number, yield and nutritional value. It can be concluded that plant hormones can be used for vegetative propagation of A. gangetica as forage.
Inoculación con rizobios y hongos micorrízicos arbusculares en plantas de Leucaena leucocephala en etapa de vivero y en sustrato con pH neutro

Published: May 2022

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the simple and combined inoculation with three local rhizobia isolates (R1, R2 and R3) and two species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus cubense -AMF1- and Claroideoglomus claroideum -AMF2-) on mycorrhizal colonization, nodulation, growth and biomass production of Leucaena leucocephala in a substrate with a close to neutrality pH under greenhouse conditions. Thirteen treatments were evaluated in a completely randomized design with five replications. The inoculation and co-inoculation promoted greater plant growth with respect to the control without inoculation and to the fertilization treatment. Within the inoculation and co-inoculation treatments, one rhizobium isolate (R2) stood out for producing the highest plant height and leaflet production, while the R3 + AMF1 and R3 + AMF2 combinations promoted the highest plant height, and also promoted higher biomass together with R1 + AMF1. In addition, the R3 + AMF2 combination stood out for presenting a high number of AMF spores, frequency and intensity by AMF colonization, and nodule activity. It is concluded that inoculation with local rhizobia isolates and their combination with AMF favors the development of mycorrhizal structures, nodulation, growth and biomass production of L. leucocephala grown in a substrate with neutral pH. Isolate R2 and the combination R3 + AMF2 were identified as effective inoculants to increase plant growth.
The Payout of a Life Insurance Policy into an Unrehabilitated Insolvent's Estate: Malcolm Wentzel v Discovery Life Limited: In Re Botha v Wentzel (1001/19) [2020] ZASCA 121 (2 October 2020)
Authors: Mabe Zingapi , Mbiriri Edith
Published: May 2022

One of the consequences of sequestration is the vesting of the property of an insolvent person in the trustee of the insolvent estate. However, not all the property of the insolvent person vests in the trustee as there are some exceptions. Under section 63 of the Long-Term Insurance Act 52 of 1998, life insurance policy benefits are excluded from forming part of the insolvent estate and thus do not vest in the trustee and are unavailable for the payments of the debts of the insolvent. The exclusion of these benefits diverts property from the insolvent estate and, consequently, the creditors who could benefit from the property. This note discusses Malcolm Wentzel v Discovery Life Limited: In Re Botha v Wentzel (1001/19) [2020] ZASCA 121 (2 October 2020), and considers whether a beneficiary of a life insurance policy payout is required to hand over such payment to the trustee of his insolvent estate. Further, it highlights the conflicting provisions between insolvency legislation and insurance legislation and examines the effects of section 63 on an insolvent estate where the insolvent was married in community of property.
Management of African Wages at the Mines: Law and Policy Before 1948
Authors: Maqutu Lindiwe
Published: May 2022

The re-enactment of the context and the purposes of past laws obviates the resort to “principled forgetfulness”, since South African law is recalled in manner that is connected to its morality. The discussion of officially recorded policy vis-à-vis Africans at the mines and other relevant spaces reveals that from its formation the Chamber of Mines had a strict policy of keeping African wages particularly low. Sanctioned policy and practices facilitated this outlook in the implementation of labour law. Additionally, unsatisfactory employment conditions routinely short-changed workers of the amounts due. This evaluation demonstrates how the prohibiting of Africans from reaping monetary advancement, from the profits of mining, was the cornerstone of economic development and attainment of prosperity by white society in South Africa.

The Industrial Conciliation Act is notable for banishing Africans from recognition as employees who could engage in collective bargaining, and served to further impair the already precarious position of African workers. Ironically, though Africans could not bargain, the determinations of industrial councils were permitted to change their employment conditions, in order to maintain the priviledge of white workers. Under this regime African wages remained extremely low, in line with supposed tribal needs, while the “civilised” community reaped far greater benefits. The effects of this were evident in the heightened economic pressure experienced by African workers and their dependants. By 1944 there had been hardly any increase in the wages of African mineworkers, but the working conditions had become more onerous. Invariably the rationale was that an improvement in the wages of African workers would have the effect of dislocating established economy processes, thereby impeding the welfare of the colony. This was the rationale despite evidence clearly showing that the wages of Africans were so inadequate that they resulted in the widespread hardship and worsening impoverishment of African communities.

This retelling of the historical law coupled with prevailing attitudes, that presented African workers as peripheral in the larger tale of productivity, has the objective and effect of rearranging the narrative somewhat. Undoubtedly the story of Africans is still being told through the colonial blueprint of labour and its management, but by reading the law focusing on Africans, rather than the community it was intended to serve, the noticeable spillage of vexed African presence disturbs the integrity of the law. A shift in consciousness is likely to occur as the counter-narrative, hidden within the hegemony, animates.
Effects of wearable resistance load placement on neuromuscular activity and stride kinematics: A preliminary study
Authors: Brown Matthew , Giroux Caroline , Lacome Mathieu , Leduc Cedric , Hader Karim , Buchheit Martin
Published: May 2022

Background: Wearable resistance (WR) training is a modality that allows athletes to perform loaded sport-specific movements to develop force and power outputs. The acute responses by which WR works is still relatively unknown, and the effects of WR load and location of the load has not yet been examined.
Objectives: To investigate the acute neuromuscular and stride characteristic responses to different wearable resistance (WR) loads and placements on the calf muscles during high-speed running.
Methods: Ten well-trained subjects completed a workout of ten sets of three 10s runs at 18km.h-1 (20s of rest between runs and one min between sets). Five conditions were tested: (1) unloaded control, (2) bilateral 0.75 vs. 1.5% body mass (BM) loading on the distal posterior calf, (3) bilateral proximal vs. distal loading of 1.5% BM positioned posteriorly, (4) bilateral anterior vs. posterior loading of 1.5% BM positioned distally, (5) unilateral loading of 1.5% BM on the distal posterior calf. Data were collected using Electromyography (EMG) and back-mounted GPS-embedded accelerometers. Magnitude of differences of within athlete and between muscle comparisons were calculated using effect sizes (ES) ± 90% confidence limits (CL).
Results: No substantial differences in accelerometry data were observed between any of the loaded conditions and the control. EMG activity was lower for proximal loading compared to the control for the gluteus maximus (ES±90%CL; -0.72±0.41), vastus lateralis (-0.89±0.47) and vastus medialis (VM) (-0.97±0.46). Anterior loading induced substantially lower EMG activity for the semitendinosus (-0.70±0.48) and VM (-0.64±0.39) muscles compared with the control. EMG activity of the VM (-0.73±0.46) muscle was also substantially lower for posterior loading compared to the control. Unilateral loading induced no substantial differences in EMG activity between the loaded and unloaded legs.
Conclusion: This preliminary study has provided a rationale for the performance of further investigations into the effects of WR lower limb loading on stride characteristics and EMG activity from a chronic standpoint using a larger population.

Menopausa e rischio cardiovascolare: come educare le donne alla prevenzione
Authors: Sciomer Susanna , Moscucci Federica
Published: May 2022

La menopausa costituisce un momento cruciale della vita della donna non solo dal punto di vista riproduttivo ma anche dal punto di vista fisiopatologico. Il calo della produzione ovarica di estrogeni determina una ridotta stimolazione di beta recettori endoteliali e miocardici che sono alla base di processi patologici quali le alterazioni del microcircolo coronarico o lo scompenso cardiaco a frazione d’eiezione preservata. Tali alterazioni si associano a quelle indotte da altri fattori di rischio cardiovascolare. È fondamentale in tale contesto prendere coscienza e trattare i fattori di rischio classici e quelli genere-specifici per non favorire l’insorgenza di patologie che incidono sugli eventi, sulla qualità della vita e sui costi sanitari.

Species Richness, Stem Density, and Canopy in Food Forests: Contributions to Ecosystem Services in an Urban Environment
Authors: Rockwell Cara A. , Crow Alex , Guimarães Érika R. , Recinos Eduardo , La Belle Deborah
Published: May 2022

Food forests expand the traditional concepts of urban forestry and agriculture, providing a broad diversity of tree-related ecosystem services and goods. Even though food forest systems bridge an obvious gap between agriculture and forestry, their potential value in the urban landscape is often undervalued. The inclusion of edible species in urban forest stands can enhance nutrition and well-being in the urban landscape, where food deserts are common. The potential for ecosystem services is especially pronounced in subtropical and tropical regions, where there is a heightened need for shade due to climate change-related heat waves. For this study, we investigated the tree species richness, stem density, and canopy cover provided by food forest gardens in 10 Miami-Dade County, Florida public schools located in the urban landscape. We compared results with neighboring properties around the schools and discovered that the food forest canopy was comparable with neighborhood urban tree cover. Additionally, we established that arborescent species richness (including an increase in edible taxa) and stem density was higher in food forests than in adjacent neighborhood plots. We posit that local food production could be enhanced by planting edible species in small spaces (e.g., empty lots or residential yards), as opposed to focusing on just ornamental taxa or recommended street trees. Our study highlights the importance of using mixed edible tree species plantings (especially with consideration to provisioning, regulating, and supporting services), potentially meeting urban forestry and agricultural goals proposed by urban planners and managers.

Published: May 2022

Las ciudades mineras españolas afrontan un continuo declive desde hace décadas. El fin del ciclo las amenaza con la contracción. Para afrontarla las políticas de reindustrialización demuestran sus limitaciones.  Mieres (Asturias)  es una ciudad paradigmática entre las españolas y cuenta con referencias entre las europeas. Perdió con lentitud su función tradicional  y alarga su proceso de transición,  en el que conoce distintos enfoques. El que aquí se describe apuesta por la regeneración urbana integral, entendida como un proceso, jalonado por proyectos ejecutados, y ha sido operado por la cooperación entre  la administración local y el CeCodet de la Universidad de Oviedo. M-Movydus es el último hito de una aplicación de investigación-acción para ordenar la transición urbana de Mieres.
Research on Structural Deformation Monitoring and Analysis of Ancient Castle Buildings Using Three-Dimensional Laser Scanning Technology
Authors: Zhu Yuhua , Xu Mu , Nie Xiaoke
Published: May 2022

Deformation monitoring refers to the measurement that monitors the change of monitored object using measuring instrument, and determines the deformation status of the target body by recording the changes of the representative discrete points on the target body. Its main purpose is to obtain the deformation characteristics of the spatial position and shape with time and vibration, and to analyze and judge the reasons for the deformation according to the obtained data. The three-dimensional laser scanning technology is also known as the real-scene replication technology. Compared with the traditional measurement technology, the three-dimensional laser scanning technology is high-speed, non-destructive, penetrating and accurate. Taking three-dimensional laser scanning as the technical medium and Deshengmen Gate (Watchtower) as an example, this paper provides technical analysis methods and case studies for the structural deformation monitoring of ancient castle buildings.

Published: May 2022

This prospective study was conducted to provide data of the incidence, risk factors and microbiological pattern associated with SSIs among 112 patients who underwent emergency abdominal operations in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College Hospital, Faridpur in Surgery Unit: 2 between January 2020 and March 2021.

After fulfilling the recruitment criteria all patients were consecutively enrolled with their consent and their preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected. Wound discharge/pus were collected and sent for culture and sensitivity testing. Follow-ups were done in the unit assistant register’s room. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 28.0.0.0.

The overall incidence of SSI was 15.2%. Male (64.7%) are affected more than female (35.3%). Underweight patients (47.1%) and appendectomy related cases had most SSI (41.2%). All SSIs are detected between 2 and 7 post-operative day. Most of the wounds are clean-contaminated, contaminated and dirty types. Chances of SSI increase when duration of surgery exceeds three hours. was the most predominant organism (82.4%) followed by (11.8%) and (5.8%). Amikacin (100%), Levofloxacin (93.2%) and Moxifloxacin (92.3%) had maximum sensitivity patterns whereas commonly prescribed drugs like Ceftriaxone and Cefuroxime had high resistance (100%).

The incidence of SSI in this tertiary hospital is very high. is the predominant organism responsible. Amikacin, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin are very potent antibiotics against organisms that cause SSI in our hospital.

Новая концепция ландшафтной адаптации земледелия геосистем ландшафтосферы
Authors: Старожилов В.Т.
Published: May 2022

Впервые рассматриваются вопросы адаптации современного земледелия с применением основ парадигмы «ландшафтопользование» к ландшафтным структурам Востока России и Тихоокеанского ландшафтного пояса ландшафтной сферы. Отмечается, что для адаптации сформулированы модели ландшафтного «фундамента». Рекомендуется использовать их как основы для построения моделей современного земледелия. Также отмечается, что первоначальным объектом внимания земледелия является ландшафтосфера и еѐ составляющие природные тела (ландшафты). Они вовлекаются в оценку уже на первоначальном этапе планирования, земледелие зависит от результатов оценки возможностей вовлечения ландшафтов в проектирование.

Authors: Sohn Edward , Kim Sunny , Lee Jongwook
Published: May 2022

Purpose of the study: Haptic technology, which can qualitatively expand virtual or augmented reality experiences beyond the sensation of the ear and eye, is realized by electrical and mechanical stimulation of afferent nerves or mechanoreceptors. In this review, researchers highlight the biological basis for sensation and suggest the advanced direction in the electric tactile-based haptic system using low impedance materials.

Methodology: Conductive polymer called “Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)” was examined for chemical properties and biocompatibility. 

Main Findings: Study of PEDOT:PSS shows the superior property in terms of deformability and electrical performance for developing the low-impedance, skin-like haptic interfaces.

Implications: To provide wear- comfort, skin-like technologies that impose a negligible physical burden on the user should be used. The mainstream of haptic technology involves the development of a system that could provide myriads of sensations to the skin through not only to the fingertips but also to some or all regions of the body.

Novelty: Researchers also provide the strategy to impart skin-like property as well as low impedance using hydrogel polymer which is desirable in wearable haptic systems.
