On the syntax of comitative constructions: the case of Finnish mukana, mukaan ‘with, along’
Authors: Ojutkangas Krista
Published: September 2017

The topic of this article is the syntax of Finnish comitative markers mukana and mukaan ‘with, along’. Comitative markers express accompaniment relations, which are typically conceived of being asymmetrical: the accompanee is the predominant participant, while the companion is involved in the situation only via the accompanee (Stolz et al. 2006: 26–27). However, markers such as mukana and mukaan are used in several syntactic constructions where the grammatical roles of expressions of the accompanees vary from subject to adverbial, that is, from syntactic core to periphery. Five syntactic construction types were analyzed from a corpus data showing three genres. On the basis of this study, it is shown that syntactic variation has an effect on the conceived asymmetry between the accompanee and the companion, and that syntax makes an important contribution to the semantics of comitative constructions. In strongly asymmetric accompaniment relations, a human accompanee is expressed by a possessive suffix affixed to the comitative marker, or by a clause-initial adverbial. The question of asymmetry contracts to the background when the accompanee is expressed by a non-clause-initial adverbial and when the accompanee is implicit, without overt marking altogether.Kokkuvõte. Krista Ojutkangas: Komitatiivkonstruktsioonide süntaksist: soome keele mukana, mukaan ‘kaasas, kaasa’. Artiklis käsitletakse soome keele komitatiivsete markerite mukana ja mukaan ‘kaasas, kaasa’ süntaksi. Komitatiivsed markerid väljendavad kaasasolusuhteid, mida peetakse tüüpiliselt asümmeetrilisteks: kaasaja on peamine osaleja, samas kui kaaslane on situatsiooni haaratud ainult kaasaja kaudu (Stolz et al. 2006: 26–27). Markereid mukana ja mukaan kasutatakse mitmetes süntaktilistes konstruktsioonides, kus kaasaja grammatiline roll varieerub subjektist adverbiaalini. Artiklis käsitletakse viit konstruktsioonitüüpi kolmes erinevas korpuses. Uurimus näitab, et süntaktiline varieerumine mõjutab tajutud asümmeetriat kaasaja ja kaaslase vahel ning süntaksi roll komitatiivsete konstruktsioonide semantikas on suur. Tugevalt asümmeetrilistes kaasasolusuhetes on inimesest kaasaja väljendatud possessiivsufiksiga, mis liitub komitatiivi markerile, või lausealgulise adverbiaaliga. Asümmeetria tõmbub taustale, kui kaasaja on väljendatud mittelausealgulise adverbiaaliga või kui kaasaja on implitsiitne.Võtmesõnad: kaassõnad; grammid; kaasasolusuhted; komitatiiv; grammatilised rollid; süntaks; soome keel
Deverbal -mine action nominals in the Estonian dialect corpus
Authors: Pilvik Maarja-Liisa
Published: September 2017

This article describes the typical properties and functions of Estonian -mine action nominals, using dialect corpus data. The dialect data entails non-standard spoken language with a regional dimension and therefore has the potential to display more variation in terms of the behaviour of action nominals in actual language use. This will be demonstrated, inter alia, by the non-canonical realization of arguments, e.g. retaining the sentential form of the patient argument, in phrases headed by -mine action nominals. The article also discusses the problems of assigning a word class to the regularly derived and productive type of action nominals, when taking into account all the possible contexts and constructions in which they can occur.Kokkuvõte. Maarja-Liisa Pilvik: Deverbaalsed mine-teonimed eesti murrete korpuses. Artiklis kirjeldatakse eesti keele mine-teonimede tüüpilisi omadusi ja funktsioone, kasutades eesti murrete korpuse andmeid. Murdekorpus sisaldab mittestandardset kõneldud keelt, millel on ka geograafiline dimensioon, ning seetõttu on korpuse andmetel potentsiaal näidata mine-teonimede käitumises tegelikus keelekasutuses laiemat varieerumist. Seda ilmestab muuhulgas verbi argumentide mittekanooniline realiseerumine, nt patsienti väljendav lauseliige võib säilitada oma lauselise vormi nimisõnafraasides, mille peasõnaks mine-teonimi on. Artiklis puudutatakse ka probleeme, mis seonduvad regulaarselt tuletatavatele mine-teonimedele sõnaklassi määramisega, kui võtta arvesse kontekste ja konstruktsioone, milles mine-teonimed võivad esineda.Võtmesõnad: murdesüntaks; teonimed; nominalisatsioon; konstruktsioonid; eesti keel

This research aims to identify the causes linked to internal reverse logistics of materials and medicines in a hospital, covering studies for process optimization performed by this department. The study is based on a hospital located in the State of Paraná, Brazil. First, observations were performed through visits during the months of September/2015 to April/2016, and the month of March was chosen for the collection of data. Also, "in loco" visits were carried out for better understanding the process that occurs in both of the drug shipment to patients, as the internal reverse logistics was performed with drugs. To collect the data a survey form was used on the main reasons for discarding of drugs and materials for the central pharmacy. The instrument was adapted from the form used by the institution aimed specifically to the Intensive Care Unit. Through the observations made in the Hospital Unit, it was revealed that the company has a structured logistics process, standardized, and has a fundamental tool for this: information technology, creating efficient, reliable and fast data, requiring however, some improvements aiming primarily to prevent and reduce waste of both time and materials/medicines.

Published: September 2017

The purpose of the research was to assess the effectiveness of soil solarization and biological agent Trichoderma harzianum application in controlling lateblight disease caused by Phytophthora infestans on potato. The experiment was assigned in a split plot design with soil solarization as main plot and the density of Trichoderma harzianum as sub-plot. Soil solarization treatment consisted of solarization (A1) and non-solarization (B1). Density of Trichoderma harzianum used is B1(control)= 0g, B2 = 10g (107 cfu/l), B3 = 20g (2 x 108 cfu/l), B4 = 30g (3 x 108 cfu/l) and B5 = 40 g (4 x 108 cfu/l). Soil solarization treatment is carried out by using transparent polyethylene sheets with a thickness of 45 µm. Parameters measured were soil temperature, intensity level of pathogen attack, the rate of infection and total yield. Data were subjected to ANOVA and followed by LSD test. Soil solarization for 4 weeks increase the soil temperature by 7,6oC and significantly increase the production of potato by 14.28%. Application of biological agent Trichoderma harzianum on level B4 30g (3 x 108 cfu /L) gives the best results in reducing the the intensity level of pathogen attack by 69.13% and the rate of disease infection into 1,012 unit/day. The results of this research may provide benefical information in the future for plant protection activities.   Keywords : P.infestans, Trichoderma harzianum, soil solarization, potato
BAG S53P4 putty as bone graft substitute – a rabbit model
Authors: Saarenpää Ilkka , Stoor Patricia , Frantzén Janek
Published: September 2017

Bioactive glass (BAG) S53P4 granules represent a bone augmentation biomaterial for the surgical treatment of bony defects, even in challenging conditions such as osteomyelitis. The aim of this eight-week rabbit implantation study was to evaluate the biocompatibility and bone regeneration performance of a BAG S53P4 putty formulation following its implantation into the proximal tibia bone of twenty-eight New Zealand white rabbits. BAG S53P4 putty was compared to BAG S53P4 granules (0.5-0.8 mm) to evaluate whether the synthetic putty binder influences the bone regeneration of the osteostimulative granules. The putty formulation facilitates clinical use because of its mouldability, injectability and ease of mixing with autograft. Implantation of putty and granules into proximal tibia defects resulted in good osseointegration of the two groups. Both biomaterials were biocompatible, showed high new bone formation, high vascularization and periosteal growth. No signs of disturbed bone formation were observed due to the PEG-glycerol binder in the BAG S53P4 putty. Instead, intramedullary ossification and stromal cell reaction were more advanced in the putty group compared to the control group (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001). In conclusion, the novel mouldable BAG S53P4 putty showed reliable bone regeneration in bony defects without adverse tissue or cell reactions.

Exact distributions of order statistics from ln,p-symmetric sample distributions
Authors: Müller K. , Richter W.-D.
Published: September 2017

We derive the exact distributions of order statistics from a finite number of, in general, dependent random variables following a joint ln,p-symmetric distribution. To this end,we first review the special cases of order statistics fromspherical aswell as from p-generalized Gaussian sample distributions from the literature. To study the case of general ln,p-dependence, we use both single-out and cone decompositions of the events in the sample space that correspond to the cumulative distribution function of the kth order statistic if they are measured by the ln,p-symmetric probability measure.We show that in each case distributions of the order statistics from ln,p-symmetric sample distribution can be represented as mixtures of skewed ln−ν,p-symmetric distributions, ν ∈ {1, . . . , n − 1}.

Hypothalamic Tuberomammillary Nucleus Neurons: Electrophysiological Diversity and Essential Role in Arousal Stability
Authors: Fujita Akie , Bonnavion Patricia , Wilson Miryam H. , Mickelsen Laura E. , Bloit Julien , de Lecea Luis , Jackson Alexander C.
Published: September 2017

Histaminergic (HA) neurons, found in the posterior hypothalamic tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN), extend fibers throughout the brain and exert modulatory influence over numerous physiological systems. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the activity of HA neurons is important in the regulation of vigilance despite the lack of direct, causal evidence demonstrating its requirement for the maintenance of arousal during wakefulness. Given the strong correlation between HA neuron excitability and behavioral arousal, we investigated both the electrophysiological diversity of HA neurons in brain slices and the effect of their acute silencingin vivoin male mice. For this purpose, we first validated a transgenic mouse line expressing cre recombinase in histidine decarboxylase-expressing neurons (Hdc-Cre) followed by a systematic census of the membrane properties of both HA and non-HA neurons in the ventral TMN (TMNv) region. Through unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis, we found electrophysiological diversity both between TMNv HA and non-HA neurons, and among HA neurons. To directly determine the impact of acute cessation of HA neuron activity on sleep–wake states in awake and behaving mice, we examined the effects of optogenetic silencing of TMNv HA neuronsin vivo. We found that acute silencing of HA neurons during wakefulness promotes slow-wave sleep, but not rapid eye movement sleep, during a period of low sleep pressure. Together, these data suggest that the tonic firing of HA neurons is necessary for the maintenance of wakefulness, and their silencing not only impairs arousal but is sufficient to rapidly and selectively induce slow-wave sleep.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe function of monoaminergic systems and circuits that regulate sleep and wakefulness is often disrupted as part of the pathophysiology of many neuropsychiatric disorders. One such circuit is the posterior hypothalamic histamine (HA) system, implicated in supporting wakefulness and higher brain function, but has been difficult to selectively manipulate owing to cellular heterogeneity in this region. Here we use a transgenic mouse to interrogate both the characteristic firing properties of HA neurons and their specific role in maintaining wakefulness. Our results demonstrate that the acute, cell type-specific silencing of HA neurons during wakefulness is sufficient to not only impair arousal but to rapidly and selectively induce slow-wave sleep. This work furthers our understanding of HA-mediated mechanisms that regulate behavioral arousal.
Human Amygdala Tracks a Feature-Based Valence Signal Embedded within the Facial Expression of Surprise

Published: September 2017

Human amygdala function has been traditionally associated with processing the affective valence (negative vs positive) of an emotionally charged event, especially those that signal fear or threat. However, this account of human amygdala function can be explained by alternative views, which posit that the amygdala might be tuned to either (1) general emotional arousal (activation vs deactivation) or (2) specific emotion categories (fear vs happy). Delineating the pure effects of valence independent of arousal or emotion category is a challenging task, given that these variables naturally covary under many circumstances. To circumvent this issue and test the sensitivity of the human amygdala to valence values specifically, we measured the dimension of valence within the single facial expression category of surprise. Given the inherent valence ambiguity of this category, we show that surprised expression exemplars are attributed valence and arousal values that are uniquely and naturally uncorrelated. We then present fMRI data from both sexes, showing that the amygdala tracks these consensus valence values. Finally, we provide evidence that these valence values are linked to specific visual features of the mouth region, isolating the signal by which the amygdala detects this valence information.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThere is an open question as to whether human amygdala function tracks the valence value of cues in the environment, as opposed to either a more general emotional arousal value or a more specific emotion category distinction. Here, we demonstrate the utility of surprised facial expressions because exemplars within this emotion category take on valence values spanning the dimension of bipolar valence (positive to negative) at a consistent level of emotional arousal. Functional neuroimaging data showed that amygdala responses tracked the valence of surprised facial expressions, unconfounded by arousal. Furthermore, a machine learning classifier identified particular visual features of the mouth region that predicted this valence effect, isolating the specific visual signal that might be driving this neural valence response.

Energy production from sorghum bioethanol is a way to help decrease climate change and environmental degradation. The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic characteristics associated to bioethanol production in experimental genotypes of sweet sorghum. During 2013 and 2014, seventeen sweet genotypes were evaluated in two locations, this locations are situated in northeastern Mexico, under a complete block randomly design with three replications. The three experiments were executed in Estacion Cuauhtemoc, Tamaulipas, in dryland; and two in Marin, Nuevo León, under irrigation. Experimental hybrid Potranca x Keller (p≤0.05) presented the highest values (kg/ha) in: biomass weight (52 125), stem (39 650), panicle (4550), leaf (7700), juice (14 125), and bioethanol (2157 l/ha); it surpassed to the most productive control (Keller) in: 35,7, 32,5, 63,2, 41,6, 32,5, and 36,8%, respectively. It bloomed 6.8 days earlier than variety control. Experimental variety 17-1-1-1 had a minor foliar incidence of diseases in comparison to Keller. In addition, it presented agronomic characteristics similar to control in: biomass weight (44 375 kg/ha), stem (35 438 kg/ha), panicle (2488 kg/ha), leaf (6400 kg/ha), juice (11 750 kg/ha), plant dry weight (19 113 kg/ha), stem dry weight (14 888 kg/ha), bioethanol production (1929 l/ha), °Brix (15,2), days to flowering (80,8) and plant height (224 cm).

Supplementing dairy cows with low in protein diets with specific amino acids is a promising strategy to counteract the potential negative effect of metabolizable protein deficiency on productivity. The objective of this study was to quantify the productive performance of lactating dairy cows and their milk quality when they are offered two diets with different crude protein (CP) concentration and when they are supplemented with methionine hydroxy analog (HMTBA). This study was carried out in a commercial dairy farm located in Alfaro Ruiz-Alajuela, Costa Rica, during the first semester of 2014. Twenty multiparous Holstein cows under a grazing system were grouped according to days in lactation and calving number. Two diets with different concentrations of CP (high 16.6% and 15.8% standard), with or without inclusion of HMTBA (25 g/TM) were studied in a 2x2 factorial arrangement. No significant effects (P>0.05) on milk production, 4% fat corrected milk, milk fat, milk protein, lactose, total solids or milk urea nitrogen (MUN) were found when including HMTBA. Feeding cows with high CP concentration significantly increased (P<0.05) MUN concentration from 18.33 to 20.70 mg/dl. Supplementing HMTBA to grazing cows did not have a significant response (P>0.05) regarding the different variables, and no financial return was found due to the fact that neither total milk production nor total solids were increased.
A cone-beam CT szerepe a máj rosszindulatú daganatainak transarterialis chemoembolisatiós kezelésében

Published: September 2017

Absztrakt:

Bevezetés: A rosszindulatú májdaganatok kezelésében az
intervenciós radiológiai eljárások egyre szélesebb körben játszanak meghatározó
szerepet. Cikkünkben a cone-beam CT (CBCT) fontosságát mutatjuk be eseteink
kapcsán, a transarterialis chemoembolisatiós (TACE) kezelések folyamán.
Betegek és módszerek: A Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén Megyei
Kórházban 2013. június 1. és 2016. július 31. között 64 betegnél összesen 130
TACE-kezelést végeztünk. 44 beteg esetében a kezelés folyamán CBCT-felvételeket
is készítettünk. Eredmények: Valamennyi CBCT technikailag
sikeres volt, és 22,7%-ban addig nem ismert, a terápiát befolyásoló eredményt
adott. Az intraoperatív CBCT-felvételek új és hasznos információkat
szolgáltattak a daganat pontos lokalizálásában, számának és méretének
meghatározásában, a tumort ellátó ér azonosításában, a terápia tervezésében,
illetve a kezelésünk hatékonyságának megítélésében.
Megbeszélés: Az intermedier stádiumú hepatocellularis
carcinomák (HCC-k) gold standard kezelési módja a TACE. Ezenfelül mind a korai,
mind az előrehaladott stádiumú HCC-k, illetve egyéb malignus májdaganatok
kezelésében is eredményesen alkalmazható. A cone-beam CT egy dinamikus CT,
amelynek segítségével a műtőasztalon, a beteg forgatása nélkül, intraoperatíve
háromdimenziós, CT-szerű képalkotás lehetséges. Irodalmi adatok jobb túlélési
adatokat mutatnak a CBCT alkalmazásával kezelt betegeken.
Következtetés: A rosszindulatú májdaganatok TACE-kezelése
során, a műtőasztalon végzett CBCT-vizsgálat a kezelés eredményét alapvetően
befolyásoló információkkal szolgálhat, így javasolt e képalkotó opció rutinszerű
használata a minél eredményesebb TACE-kezelések érdekében.

Bevezetés: A nem okkluzív mesenterialis ischaemia (NOMI)
anatómiai okok nélkül alakul ki, korai diagnosztizálása nehéz, terápiája sem
megoldott. Modellkísérleteinkben a komplement C5a gátlásán keresztül a
komplementaktiváció szerepét vizsgáltuk a kórfolyamatban.
Anyagokés módszerek: A NOMI rövid és hosszú távú hemodinamikai és
gyulladásos következményeinek jellemzéséhez Sprague–Dawley patkányokban
(n = 28) 60 perces parciális aortaokklúziót (PAO; hasi
aorta, truncus coeliacustól proximálisan; arteria femoralis középnyomása: 30–40
Hgmm), míg vietnami törpesertésekben (n = 19) 60 perces
pericardialis tamponádot (artériás középnyomás: 40–50 Hgmm) hoztunk létre. A
PAO, valamint a tamponád 45. percében komplement C5a-gátló kezelést alkalmaztunk
(acetil-peptid-A; 4 mg/kg iv.). Az állatokban monitoroztuk a
makro- és mikrokeringést, mértük a leukocytainfiltrációt, a gyulladásos
mediátorok (endothelin, HMGB-1) plazmaszintjét. Eredmények:
Patkányokban a PAO megszüntetése után 24 órával a C5a gátlása csökkentette a
szisztémás gyulladásos válasz részeként megemelkedett perctérfogatot (203,1 ± 5
vs. 269,6 ± 8,1 ml/‌min/‌kg) és arteria mesenterica superior (AMS)
áramlását, fokozta az ileum mucosa mikrokeringését (833,5 ± 33,8 vs. 441,9 ±
22,4 μm/s). Az acetil-peptid-A sertésekben átmenetileg növelte az AMS áramlását
és tartósan az ileummucosa-kapillárisáramlást (648,1 ± 45,4 vs. 329,8 ± 12,6
μm/s). A kezelt állatoknál alacsonyabb gyulladásos mediátorszintet és szöveti
leukocytainfiltrációt mértünk mindkét NOMI-modellben.
Következtetések: A komplementaktiváció jelentős szerepet
játszik a NOMI alatt bekövetkező makro- és mikrokeringési zavar kialakulásában,
a C5a gátlása a gyulladásos folyamat mérséklése mellett befolyásolja a NOMI
hemodinamikai következményeit is.

A vékonybél daganatai ritkák, az egész béltraktus daganatainak 1–5%-át képezik. A
vékonybél leggyakoribb malignus daganatai az adenocarcinoma, lymphoma és a
neuroendokrin tumorok. Ritkábban előforduló daganatok közé tartoznak a
gastrointestinalis stromalis tumorok (GIST), a leiomyosarcoma és a leiomyoma. A
leiomyoma leggyakrabban a jejunumban fordul elő, ezt követi az ileum és a
duodenum. A legtöbb esetben ezen tumorok diagnózisát műtét előtt nagyon nehéz
felállítani. A műtéti kezelés lehetőségei duodenalis tumorok esetén lokális
excisio, szegmentális duodenumreszekció és pancreaticoduodenectomia. Ezen jól
differenciált tumorok prognózisa relatíve jó. A szerzők egy 61 éves férfi esetét

JUVENTUDES NA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS: contradições entre suas conquistas como sujeitos de direitos e os silenciamentos nos espaços escolares
Authors: Souza Emanuelle de Oliveira , Reis Rosemeire
Published: September 2017

Este artigo analisa a Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) enquanto direito humano, partindo das conquistas nos marcos legais concernentes às juventudes e refletindo, como contraponto, sobre o silenciamento dos sujeitos jovens nessa modalidade de ensino. Trata-se de um recorte da dissertação intitulada O que é ser jovem... aluno... e alagoano: um estudo sobre referências culturais e identidades juvenis, submetida ao Mestrado em Educação Brasileira, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Alagoas (PPGE/UFAL). A metodologia da pesquisa é qualitativa, mediante análise documental da legislação, como também dos argumentos de três jovens a partir de grupos de discussão e entrevistas semiestruturadas em uma escola pública estadual em Maceió, Alagoas. Como aporte teórico, o artigo apresenta a análise da legislação referente aos jovens e à EJA, como a Constituição Federal, a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação, o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, o Estatuto da Juventude, dentre outros textos oficiais; bem como conceitos, como de “juventudes”, de Pais e Feixa; “condição juvenil”, de Abramo, Dayrell e Teixeira; e da relação dos/das jovens com a experiência escolar, de Carrano; Martins, Moreira; Candau, Freire e Sacristán. Identifica-se, nos argumentos analisados, o quanto é urgente que a EJA seja repensada, frente a sua juvenilização, para o reconhecimento dos/das jovens como sujeitos de direitos e um melhor atendimento das reais necessidades dos/as estudantes inseridos/as nessa modalidade de ensino.

O uso de um software de gestão de projetos adequado aos requisitos da equipe e do gerente de projetos contribui para o alcance de resultados satisfatórios. Nesse contexto, este estudo propõe e aplica uma metodologia para apoiar a avaliação da qualidade de softwares de gestão de projetos baseada no método AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) e nos critérios e subcritérios da norma ISO/IEC 25000:2014. O método AHP é utilizado para definir os pesos dos critérios e dos subcritérios adotados. A metodologia proposta foi aplicada em um caso ilustrativo para selecionar o software mais adequado aos requisitos de três tomadores de decisão. Foram avaliados os softwares Basecamp, MS Project, Service Desk e Primavera. O maior desempenho final foi alcançado pelos softwares Primavera e MS Project, que atenderam a 29 dos 30 requisitos avaliados. Entretanto, devido a algumas particularidades desses softwares, o Primavera foi selecionado.

Resumo A investigação dos fatores que influenciam a escolha do chefe do Executivo no Brasil é uma questão de vital importância. Neste artigo, apresentam-se evidências de que o crescimento econômico local no último ano de governo possui impacto positivo na porcentagem de votos obtidos pelo incumbente em uma amostra da população dos municípios brasileiros, com dados das eleições presidenciais e municipais de 2000 a 2010. Usamos a expansão real do PIB municipal como medida do crescimento econômico local e testamos a hipótese de que os eleitores em um município premiam os incumbentes, ou seus respectivos candidatos, que tiveram bom desempenho econômico no último ano de mandato. A hipótese se baseia na teoria econômica do voto que sugere que os incumbentes têm mais chances de vencer uma reeleição, ou eleger seu sucessor, quando a economia está em um bom momento. Na análise utilizamos as abordagens para dados em painel, além de análise multinível, de modo a melhor explorar a heterogeneidade existente no fenômeno do voto econômico e com isso inferir a existência de efeitos do crescimento econômico na proporção de votos obtidos pelo incumbente e como esses efeitos podem variar em relação a partidos, unidades da federação, circunscrição eleitoral e outras variáveis.
Restos a pagar e a perda da credibilidade orçamentária

Published: September 2017

Resumo O artigo discute o uso da inscrição em restos a pagar e seus impactos na credibilidade e na transparência do orçamento público. A partir de uma tipificação dos quatro tipos de carry-over existentes na regulação brasileira, articularam-se evidências do surgimento de um “orçamento paralelo” nos três níveis de governo com aspectos de regulamentação e controle externo. A evolução dos saldos e da inscrição de restos a pagar foi captada pelos saldos dessas contas no governo federal, nos governos de 26 estados e Distrito Federal, e em cerca de 4.100 municípios. Adicionalmente, observaram-se a interpretação dada pelos Tribunais de Contas para a inscrição em restos a pagar sem lastro financeiro, assim como o nível de transparência dada pelos governos com maiores saldos de restos a pagar. Os resultados indicam que, além do crescente endividamento, a fraca regulação sobretudo dos restos a pagar não processados está reduzindo seriamente a credibilidade e a transparência do orçamento em todos os níveis de governo.

ABSTRACT The goal of this study was study the postharvest quality of acerola clone BRS 236 (Malpighia emarginata D.C.) which was harvested at physiological maturity and submitted to four treatments under immersion during 5 minutes at 25 °C, which are: control (water), 60 mg L-1; 120 mg L-1 and 180 mg L-1. After treatment the fruits were packed in polystyrene trays and placed with polyethylene film and then stored at 10 ± 2 °C and 85 ± 5% RH for 12 days. Were analyzed in three days intervals (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days): skin color, firmness, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, SS/TA ratio, vitamin C and yellow flavonoids. Vitamin C, anthocyanins and yellow flavonoids were not influenced by treatments with GA3 at the end of 12-day of cold storage at 10 ºC. The exogenous application of 120 mg L-1 of GA3 resulted in retention of red color and content of anthocyanins of acerola fruits BRS 236 clone 12-day storage at 10 °C.
Chemical thinning of flowers and fruits of the peach cultivar Coral with hydrogen cyanamide
Authors: Anzanello Rafael , Tedesco Assis
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACT: Chemical treatment is a mean to accomplish fruit thinning; although its efficiency depends on the compound used, application time, and dosage. Effect of the chemical hydrogen cyanamide (CH2N2) on the thinning of flowers and fruits of the peach cultivar Coral was assessed in this study. Treatments consisted of five doses of CH2N2 (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8%) spray application to the point of run-off, at two stages (50% and 100% flowering). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with six replicates and one plant per plot. The following parameters were assessed: percentage of flowers thinned at 25 days after spraying, percentage of fruits thinned, fruiting index, production per plant, fruit mass, diameter and length, flesh firmness, soluble solids (SS) and titratable acidity (TA). Concentrations of 0.6 and 0.8% CH2N2application at 50% flowering resulted in thinning 84.4 and 84.7% of the flowers and 0.4% CH2N2 at 100% flowering thinned 87.3%, values close to index assessed in manual thinning (88.0%) experiments. The highest production per plant was recorded for treatments with CH2N2 application at 50% flowering, resulting from a high percentage of flowers opening after spraying the chemical thinner. As such, flowers opening late were not affected by the chemical, thereby ensuring a higher fruiting index. Peach yield with 50% CH2N2 was not significantly different from yield observed for manual treatment, and 0.6% spray was reported to be the optimal dosage. Treatment with 0.6% CH2N2 application at 50% flowering was not significantly qualitatively different from manual thinning. CH2N2 application is efficient for the thinning of ‘Coral’ peach flowers and fruits.

ABSTRACT: One of the most crucial steps in cheesemaking is the coagulation process, and knowledge of the parameters involved in the clotting process plays an important technological role in the dairy industry. Milk of different ruminant species vary in terms of their coagulation capacities because they are influenced by the milk composition and mainly by the milk protein genetic variants. The milk coagulation capacity can be measured by means of mechanical and/or optical devices, such as Lactodynamographic Analysis and Near-Infrared and Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to characterize ocular diseases in dogs naturally affected by visceral leishmaniasis in Teresina, Piauí State, Brazil. The diagnosis was made using parasitological exams of the bone-marrow and lymph-node samples. The main ophthalmological findings were uveitis, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, and keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Normocytic normochromic anemia was the main hematological finding, followed by thrombocytopenia. Plasma proteins were also considered, and hyperproteinemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and hypoalbuminemia were observed. Ocular histopathological examination revealed mild inflammation involving lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages. Results indicate the need to perform a differential diagnosis to rule out or establish the presence of Leishmania sp. in dogs presenting with ophthalmic lesions in endemic regions.

ABSTRACT Objective: to develop a prototype of a computerized scale for the active search for potential organ and tissue donors. Method: methodological study, with the analysis of 377 electronic medical records of patients who died due to encephalic death or cardiorespiratory arrest in the intensive care units of a tertiary hospital. Among the deaths due to cardiorespiratory arrest, the study aimed to identify factors indicating underreported encephalic death cases. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II and Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment severity indexes were applied in the protocols. Based on this, a scale was built and sent to five experts for assessment of the scale content, and subsequently, it was computerized by using a prototyping model. Results: 34 underreported encephalic death cases were identified in the medical records of patients with cardiorespiratory arrest. Statistically significant differences were found in the Wilcoxon test between the scores of hospital admissions in the intensive care unit and the opening of the encephalic death protocol for both severity indexes. Conclusion: the prototype was effective for identifying potential organ donors, as well as for the identification of the degree of organ dysfunction in patients with encephalic death.

Published: September 2017

Abstract The testicular artery is frequently subjected to radiographic imaging techniques such as angiography for diagnosis and treatment of conditions like epididymitis, testicular torsion, tumor, hematoma, and hydrocele and in cases of undescended testis. Radiologists and surgeons should therefore be aware of testicular artery variants. Although there are numerous studies and case reports that mention testicular artery variants, this is probably the first case, reporting a bilateral low origin of the testicular artery and discussing its probable embryological etiology.

Published: September 2017

Resumo A pancreatite crônica é uma enfermidade associada a diversas complicações vasculares, como pseudocisto hemorrágico, trombose do sistema venoso portal e formações varicosas e pseudoaneurismáticas. O pseudoaneurisma de aorta abdominal secundário à pancreatite crônica é uma complicação rara, de difícil suspeição clínica, que requer tratamento complexo. A fisiopatologia dessa condição envolve a corrosão enzimática tecidual após a liberação e ativação de enzimas exócrinas proteolíticas das células acinares do pâncreas. O presente estudo relata o caso de um paciente de 52 anos, etilista crônico, internado com dor abdominal difusa, cuja propedêutica revelou se tratar de um pseudoaneurisma em aorta infrarrenal. Optou-se pelo tratamento cirúrgico convencional, levando-se em consideração a idade, as condições clínicas do paciente e a disponibilidade de endopróteses compatíveis com o diâmetro da aorta.

Resumo Contexto Os benefícios para a saúde decorrentes da prática regular de atividade física estão bem documentados. Entretanto, são raros os estudos associando essa prática ao comportamento sedentário e ao risco cardiovascular em adolescentes. Objetivos Pretende-se avaliar a prática de atividade física, o comportamento sedentário e a associação com o risco cardiovascular mensurado pelo escore Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY). Métodos Estudo transversal desenvolvido nas escolas públicas estaduais de Campina Grande, PB, Brasil, com 576 adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos, incluindo variáveis socioeconômicas, demográficas, de estilo de vida e clínicas. Os dados foram coletados através de formulário validado, antropometria, aferição da pressão arterial e exames laboratoriais. Foram utilizadas medidas descritivas, teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson e regressão logística binomial. Trabalhou-se com o SPSS 22.0 se adotou intervalo de confiança de 95%. Resultados A idade média foi de 16,8 anos. A maioria dos adolescentes era do sexo feminino (66,8%), não branco (78.7%) e pertencente às classes C, D e (69,1%). Quanto ao sedentarismo e à insuficiência de atividade física, as prevalências foram de 78,1% e 60,2%, respectivamente. De acordo com o escore PDAY, 10,4% dos adolescentes apresentaram alto risco cardiovascular; 31,8% risco intermediário; e 57,8%, risco baixo. Verificou-se que PDAY esteve associado ao sexo e à adiposidade abdominal. Conclusões Ficou comprovado que adiposidade abdominal e sexo masculino representam importantes fatores de risco cardiovascular em adolescentes. Considerando-se a presença de um fator de risco modificável, medidas preventivas voltadas ao estilo de vida são essenciais.

ABSTRACT The N:K ratio influences the balance between vegetative and reproductive stages, because potassium plays important roles in the processes that regulate plant growth when the nitrogen availability is high. However, there is a lack of information on the N:K ratio suitable for cucumber cultivation in an NFT-hydroponic system. The objective of this study is to evaluate the different N:K ratios in fruiting nutrient solutions for cucumber production in a hydroponic system. Treatments consisted of two cucumber hybrids (Natsuno Kagayaki and Runner) and four nutrition solutions with different N:K ratios (w/w) (1:0.5, 1:1.0, 1:2.0, and 1:3.0) in the reproductive phase arranged as split plots in a randomized block design with four replications. On the 33rd day after sowing (DAS), the SPAD index on the fourth expanded leaf from the plant apex, number of broaches, and harvests were evaluated. The aerial parts of the plants were collected on the 54th DAS for evaluation of fresh mass, dry mass, and number of leaves per plant. The results showed that the highest concentration of K in the fruiting nutrient solution does not alter the length of the fruits but increases their diameter yield. The N:K ratios in the 1:2.0 and 1:3.0 (w/w) nutrient solutions provided greater yields in both evaluated hybrids. The hybrid Natsuno Kagayaki, however, showed the highest productivity, and it is recommended for hydroponic cultivation.
