ABSTRACT Obesity is a chronic degenerative disease. Whole-body vibration (WBV) devices make it possible to control the intensity of exercises through their variables: frequency, amplitude and vibration time, thus enabling interventions in these populations. The objective of this study was to review the applications, protocols and results of WBV devices in obese individuals. A systematic literature review was conducted using the descriptors and terms verified in DeCS (LILACS and SCIELO) and MeSH (PubMED). Of the thirteen studies selected, seven used an experimental and six a quasi-experimental methodological design. Eleven studies analyzed chronic responses and two studies acute responses to WBV training. Frequency values ranged between 30 and 35 Hz, amplitude was around 2 mm, and in terms of intensity, most of the training protocols used a gradual increase in WBV throughout the intervention. Eight studies added dynamic exercises and extra loads to the WBV. The mean total WBV exposure time varied around 20’ distributed in 1 or 2 series, with vibration times of 30” to 60” and the same rest time. The mean frequency of interventions was around 2 to 3 times a week, with a mean intervention time of 10 months. The main results include: decrease in body weight and improvement in the physiological variables of oxygen absorption, bone mineral density and arterial profile, indicating that WBV can be a safe tool in the fight against obesity and its implications.

ABSTRACT Introduction Breast cancer has innumerable consequences in women’s lives and physical activity can be beneficial during this period. Objectives To analyze the influence of belly dancing on the body image and self-esteem of women during and after breast cancer treatment. Methods Nineteen women diagnosed with breast cancer, divided into a control group (8 women) and a study group (11 women), who were under treatment or post-treatment at the Center for Oncological Research (CEPON), participated in the study. A questionnaire was used for data collection, divided into three blocks as follows: a) general information - sociodemographic and clinical characterization; b) body image - Body Image After Breast Cancer; and c) self-esteem - Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The study group underwent a belly dance intervention consisting of 60-minute classes, twice a week, for a total period of 12 weeks. Women in the control group only maintained their routine activities. Results Significant changes were observed in the improvement of body image in the belly dance group in the pre- and post-intervention periods in the body stigma (p = 0.017) and transparency (p = 0.021) scales. There were no changes in regards to self-esteem. The control group had no changes in either body image or self-esteem. Conclusion The influence of belly dancing on the improvement of women’s body image was observed after 12 weeks of intervention. Thus, it is understood that physical activity may help these women after breast cancer, and should be encouraged by health professionals in this field.

ABSTRACT To review the occurrence of pelvic, anorectal and urinary symptoms according to the nutritional status of adultwomen. Methods This is a cross-sectional study with 54 women, aged 18 to 35 years, divided into normal weight (<25kg/m2), overweight (25kg/m2 to 29.99kg/m2) and obesity (≥30kg/m2) according to the body mass index. The presence of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction symptoms was assessed by the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and the impact of these symptoms by the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used, with a significance level of 5%. Results Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory total score was 22.95 (SD=26.11) in the eutrophic group and 59.67 (SD=47.80) in the obesity group (p=0.01). Considering the scales, urinary symptoms were higher in obese women than in the eutrophic group (p=0.01). In the assessment of patients with each symptom, a difference (p<0.01) was observed in incomplete bowel emptying, in which the highest frequency occurred in overweight women (47.4%) compared to eutrophic and obese women (both 26.3%). Urinary incontinence symptoms (18.2% in eutrophic women, 27.3% overweight and 54.5% obese), stress urinary incontinence (8.3% eutrophic, 41.7% overweight and 50.0%, obese) and difficulty in emptying the bladder (0.0% eutrophic, 33.3% overweight and 66.7% obese) exhibited higher frequencies (p=0.03; p<0,01 and p=0.02, respectively) in obese women. Conclusion Symptoms of pelvic floor muscles dysfunction, especially urinary tract muscles, occur more frequently in obese adult women when compared to eutrophic women.

ABSTRACT Objetive: to understand the adherence to treatment of young adults with HIV/AIDS treated in a specialized care service from the perspective of complex thinking. Method: a qualitative study, with the data grounded theory approach. Twelve young adults aged from 15 to 24 years old living with HIV/AIDS, nine health professionals and four mothers participated in the study. Data was obtained from interviews conducted between April and September 2016 and analyzed using the constant comparative method. Results: the adherence to treatment of young adults with HIV/AIDS has been understood as a dynamic, multifactorial and constantly changing phenomenon. This process involves multiple aspects, including fear of becoming ill, physical and social death, discrimination and stigma. It was found that even in the face of these difficulties, young adults decide to continue their treatment in search of normalization of health, a long and common life like other young people who do not live with HIV/AIDS. Conclusion: it was considered that in view of the complex and changing phenomenon, adherence to treatment of young adults with HIV/AIDS should be understood and managed by health professionals.

Resumo A pesquisa que deu origem a este artigo situa-se no contexto da categoria teorética ‘repúblicas inacabadas.’ Teve como objetivo analisar a percepção de professores(as) de uma unidade escolar de educação infantil de um município catarinense, sobre a produção de dignidade pelo trabalho e foi realizada no segundo semestre de 2018. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de três instrumentos: entrevistas individuais, grupos focais e diários de campo. Os dados indicaram a solidão na interface entre docência na educação infantil, neoliberalismo e dignidade pelo eco das vozes dos professores que anunciam a destituição de sua produção de dignidade pelo trabalho, o que afeta direta e negativamente sua condição de saúde. Apontam-se condições para o estabelecimento dessa condição desumanizante e propõem-se o reconhecimento e o estímulo ao trabalho coletivo como ferramentas de transformação.
PRODUÇÃO DO CUIDADO EM SAÚDE MENTAL: PRÁTICAS TERRITORIAIS NA REDE PSICOSSOCIAL

Published: November 2019

Resumo Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que analisou práticas de cuidado territoriais em saúde mental realizadas por enfermeiros, agentes comunitários de saúde e usuários dos centros de atenção psicossocial e da atenção básica. Foram realizadas entrevistas, grupos focais e observação livre com 60 participantes de Fortaleza, Ceará, em 2017. A análise das informações fundamentou-se na hermenêutica-dialética ante um exercício interpretativo crítico e reflexivo. Os resultados evidenciaram que o processo de territorialização é realizado pela equipe multidisciplinar da Estratégia Saúde da Família, sem a participação dos profissionais do centro de atenção psicossocial. Embora estes, por vezes, realizem práticas comunitárias, persiste a valorização de ações dentro do próprio serviço e na medicalização do sofrimento psíquico, sem considerar as singularidades dos sujeitos e sem articulação com os serviços da atenção básica. Os agentes comunitários de saúde, se treinados, são atores potencialmente estratégicos para atuar na interface da saúde mental com a atenção básica. Com efeito, o panorama da saúde mental urge pela transformação de um modelo que privilegie a reflexão de novas ações em múltiplas dimensões, com ênfase na articulação dos serviços e na capacitação dos trabalhadores que atuam nesse âmbito.

Resumo O estudo que originou este artigo teve como objetivo analisar a cultura de segurança do paciente na atenção primária em saúde de um município de grande porte do estado do Paraná, segundo a categoria profissional. Foi desenvolvido um estudo transversal com trabalhadores da atenção primária, com coleta de dados realizada em 2017, por meio da aplicação de um instrumento autorrespondido denominado Pesquisa sobre Cultura de Segurança do Paciente para Atenção Primária (Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture). Os resultados indicaram que o processo de trabalho no serviço de atuação e apoio dos gestores foram as dimensões da cultura de segurança com avaliação mais fragilizada. De modo geral, houve divergências na percepção da cultura de segurança pelos profissionais de saúde da atenção primária, denotando a importância do planejamento conjunto de estratégias de assistência à saúde. Os técnicos de enfermagem apresentaram maior prevalência de avaliação fragilizada da cultura de segurança do paciente. De forma contrária, os enfermeiros mostraram menor prevalência de avaliação fragilizada sobre a cultura de segurança.

Published: November 2019

Abstract Authentic leadership consists of a pattern of behavior based on positive psychological capacities and on an ethical and moral climate. The study evaluated the internal structure and convergent validity of the Authentic Leadership Inventory. The sample consisted of 548 workers from public and private organizations of both genders, who responded to the initial version of the scale, containing 14 items, distributed among four factors: self-knowledge, relational transparency, internalized moral perspective and balanced processing. The confi rmatory factor analyses showed that the best fi t model was the four fi rst order factors with a second order factor, which fully confi rmed the original scale model. Authentic leadership had positive correlations with transformational leadership, job satisfaction, work engagement, and affective organizational commitment. The evidences of validity obtained recommend the use of instrument in future research situations.

Published: November 2019

Resumo: Este artigo versa sobre as identidades profissionais de oito professores de uma escola básica pública lisboeta, à luz da tese de Claude Dubar. No estudo de caso, realizado em 2017-2018, a coleta de dados foi feita via entrevistas na linha de história de vida e questionários sobre aspectos sociais, econômicos e culturais. A análise da identidade biográfica mostra uma trajetória de professores que estudaram em escolas públicas, consideram-se dedicados e exigentes, além de que tiveram uma sólida formação profissional acadêmica. A identidade para o outro mostra que o grupo é tido como ativo e empreendedor pela comunidade e desenvolveu estilos pessoais de ensinar. A identidade relacional para si revela um exercício da docência focado na instrução de jovens da classe média-alta para o ensino superior.

Authors: Carvalho Cristina , Santos Maria Emília Tagliari
Published: November 2019

Resumo: A pesquisa apresentada neste artigo é parte da dissertação de mestrado ‘Bebês no Museu de Arte: Processos, Relações e Descobertas’. A partir da análise de sessões do programa No Colo, do Instituto Tomie Ohtake, em São Paulo, buscou-se compreender a inclusão de bebês nos programas de educação em museus de arte. Com base na investigação e análise das práticas em questão, em diálogo com o referencial teórico adotado - Vigotski, Trevarthen, Vecchi - constatou-se que o contato com os artefatos, com as experiências coletivas e com as propostas de experimentação sensorial pode ser significativo para o desenvolvimento socioemocional e cognitivo dos bebês e para sua inserção na cultura. A inclusão desse público pode oportunizar novas maneiras de estar e pensar os espaços expositivos, contribuindo para sua democratização e ampliação do repertório de mediação.

Abstract: This article makes a qualitative analysis of what constitutes the academic work in its overlapping elements and processes. There is a joint analysis of theory and facts based on discourse analysis theory to observe intrinsic aspects that put creativity as an essential product of academic work, and extrinsic aspects necessary to establish trust and dignity as necessary assumptions to achieve its goal. We hope this approach become an available tool to protect creativity against abuses of power and to show how one builds a balanced academic work within an ethical dimension, preventing the construction of a fallacious product.

Abstract The new environmental conditions imposed by disturbance events often create a mosaic of spots in different successional stages. Our objective was to describe the temporal variation of a semideciduous seasonal forest based on its anthropic disturbance history, verifying possible changes in forest dynamics and structure. We sampled the arboreal vegetation with a diameter at breast height (1.3 m above the ground; DBH) ≥ 5 cm in 15 permanent plots of 20 × 20 m where we performed four inventories (2003, 2005, 2007 and 2015). We observed a density decrease and a basal area increase, which indicates the late successional stage of the analyzed tree community. The phytosociological structure, richness and species diversity of the tree community did not show changes throughout the monitoring. However, the Protium spruceanum predominance may be a response to the environmental changes caused by the mining occurred in the area 250 years ago. The anthropic disturbances enduring influences make this type of work indispensable because it allows the ecological processes understanding, allowing a factual management of the forests by the its effective management and conservation.

Angiosperms of dry grasslands and savannahs of Jalapão, the largest conserved Cerrado area in Brazil
Authors: Antar Guilherme Medeiros , Sano Paulo Takeo
Published: November 2019

Abstract This study provides a checklist of angiosperm species from Jalapão region, Tocantins, Brazil, inserted within the Cerrado biome, a global biodiversity hotspot. The region of Jalapão is still well preserved despite current threats to its biodiversity, however its plant diversity is still poorly understood. To generate the present checklist, fieldwork was carried out and relevant herbarium collections were consulted. Angiosperms distributed in the grassland and savanna physiognomies with dry, non-rocky soils were recorded. We detected 550 species within 85 families. The richest families are Leguminosae, Poaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Rubiaceae, Myrtaceae, Malpighiaceae and Euphorbiaceae. Among the plant species, ten are listed as rare, ten are threatened, and twelve were identified as new to science. This study increases the number of angiosperm species occurring in these vegetation types in Jalapão almost 2-fold compared to previous inventories. The Cerrado biome and Jalapão region are under heavy threat due to agricultural expansion, and our study contributes to the knowledge of plant biodiversity as a fundamental step towards designing and carrying out conservation actions.
Extreme root resorption in orthodontic practice: teeth do not have to be replaced with implants
Authors: Consolaro Alberto
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT The replacement of natural teeth that have extreme external apical root resorption, induced by orthodontic treatment, with osseointegrated implants is not justifiable biologically or clinically. These teeth should be preserved and keep their normal functions, as there is no greater mobility, pain or color change. They may undergo usual procedures, such as bleaching, restorations with veneers and other esthetic procedures that may be necessary along life. The pulp of these teeth is normal. If mobility of a tooth with extreme resorption is identified, the cause of mobility should be investigated, as it is not associated with resorption, not even at advanced stages. Tooth mobility may be associated with recent removal of orthodontic appliance, occlusal trauma, chronic inflammatory periodontal disease, or even severe cervical bone loss. In such cases, the cause of mobility should be eliminated and possible sequelae should be corrected, because these, and not root resorption, may actually require retention.
Skeletal Class III malocclusion treatment using mandibular and maxillary skeletal anchorage and intermaxillary elastics: a case report
Authors: Fakharian Mehrnaz , Bardideh Erfan , Abtahi Mostafa
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT Introduction: Skeletal Class III malocclusion is one of the most challenging malocclusions to treat. In around 40% of Class III patients, maxillary retrognathia is the main cause of the problem and in most patients, orthopedic/surgical treatments includes some type of maxillary protraction. Objective: The aim of this case report was to describe a treatment method for a patient with maxillary retrognathia and Class III skeletal discrepancy using mandibular and maxillary skeletal anchorage with intermaxillary elastics. Case report: A 13-year-old boy with maxillary retrognathia and mandibular prognathism was treated using bilateral miniplates. Two miniplates were inserted in the mandibular canine area and two other miniplates were placed in the infrazygomatic crests of the maxilla. Class III intermaxillary elastics were used between the miniplates. Results: After eight months of orthopedic therapy, ANB angle increased by 4.1 degrees and ideal overjet and overbite were achieved. Mandibular plane angle was increased by 2.1 degrees and the palatal plane was rotated counterclockwise by 4.8 degrees. Conclusion: This case showed that the skeletal anchorage treatment method may be a viable option for treating patients with Class III skeletal malocclusion.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the volume and morphology of the middle region of the pharynx (MRP) in adolescents with different anteroposterior craniofacial skeletal patterns. Methods: One hundred twenty-six patients (56 male and 70 female), who had cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) within their records, were selected for this cross-sectional study. Participants were classified, according to their ANB angle value, in Class I (1o ≤ ANB ≤ 3o), Class II (ANB > 3o) and Class III (ANB < 1o). The total volume (tV), minimum axial area (AxMin) and morphology of the MRP and its subdivisions - velopharynx (VP) and oropharynx (OP) - were characterized by CBCT and 3-dimensional image reconstruction software. Intergroup comparisons were performed by ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests. Correlations between tV and Axmin with the ANB angle values were tested using linear regression analysis, considering sex as covariable. Results: Statistically significant difference between groups were observed in tV only for the VP region; Class II individuals presented significantly lower tV (6863.75 ± 2627.20 mm3) than Class III subjects (9011.62 ± 3442.56 mm3) (p< 0.05). No significant differences were observed between groups for any other variable assessed, neither in MRP nor in the OP region (p> 0.05). A significant negative correlation was evidenced between tV and Axmin and the ANB angle values; sexual dimorphism was observed for some variables. Conclusions: Class II subjects have smaller tV in the VP region. tV and Axmin tend to decrease in all evaluated regions when the ANB angle values increase.
Open bite in adult patients
Authors: Tavares Carlos Alberto Estevanell , Allgayer Susiane
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT Anterior open bite (AOB) is characterized by the lack of overlap or contact between maxillary and mandibular incisors, while the posterior teeth are in occlusion. Correction of this malocclusion is challenging due to difficulties in determining and addressing the etiologic factors, and the high relapse rate. A multidisciplinary approach may be necessary, with participation of Orthodontics, Surgery and Speech Therapy, to achieve adequate esthetic and functional results for long term stability. The present paper discusses the treatment options for AOB, their advantages and implications.

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the bond characteristics of orthodontic metal brackets bonded to enamel surface using three adhesive systems. Methods: One hundred twenty premolars were selected and randomly divided into two equal groups of 60 teeth/ each (Groups I and II). The teeth of Group I were left untreated while those of Group II were exposed to 5.25% NaOCl for 1 minute. The teeth in either group were randomly subdivided into three equal subgroups of 20 teeth/ each (A, B and C), according to the type of adhesive system used to bond the brackets. In Subgroup A, phosphoric acid + Transbond XT primer and adhesive were used. In subgroup B, Transbond Plus self-etching primer (SEP) + Transbond XT adhesive were utilized. In subgroup C, phosphoric acid + SmartBond LC adhesive were used. The shear bond strength (SBS) and the degree of adhesive penetration to enamel surface were assessed. Data analyses were performed using ANOVA, post-hoc (LSD), t and chi-square test. Results: Transbond XT had significantly higher SBS than SmartBond LC (p< 0.05). Phosphoric acid provided significantly higher SBS and degree of adhesive penetration than SEP (p< 0.05). NaOCl significantly increased SBS and degree of adhesive penetration in Subgroups B and C (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Adhesion quality of Transbond XT adhesive is better than SmartBond LC. Phosphoric acid is more effective than SEP. NaOCl enhances the bond characteristics.

ABSTRACT Hygrocybe conica var. conica and H. nigrescens var. brevispora were collected in the Atlantic Rain Forest of the States of Paraná and Rio Grande do Norte States, respectively. These two taxa were reported in mushroom checklists of Brazil; however, their morphological features and variations have been hitherto poorly documented. Thus, it is provided for the first time a complete description for these two Brazilian varieties. Hygrocybe conica var. conica was reported in the last century for the southeast region, more precisely from the mixed ombrophilous forests of São Paulo State. Presently, this variety is a new record for the seasonal semideciduous forests of Paraná State, southern Brazil. Hygrocybe nigrescens var. brevispora was known from coastal ecosystems of the south and southeast regions; it is also being indicated here as a new record for the northeast region.

Abstract Society lives in a dynamic, complex, and contradictory urban system that seeks the balance between urban development and environmental preservation. For this purpose, there are Information and Communication Technologies which can make the existence of Smart Cities possible. Thus, developing Smart Cities involves applying inter and multidisciplinary knowledge, which permeates even Information Science. This study analyzes Latin American scientific production by applying Bibliometrics to quantify the publications related to smart cities, geotechnologies, governance, and cadastre. We analyzed scientifi c productionindexed in the Scopus database from 2007 to 2017. We also performed the Factorial Correspondence Analysis for visualization of word clusters in order to verify their co-occurrence in the abstracts of articles. The results identifi ed Brazil as the country with the highest number of published documents. The importance of the term “Smart Cities” was evidenced with the increase of production in the last 5 years, a period that accumulates 98% of such publications. The most common term is “Geographic Information System”, that appears in 75% of the publications. Finally, in the co-occurrence of words, we identifi ed terms that corroborate with the greater objectives of smart cities.

Resumo Indicadores de produção científica são usualmente utilizados para a avaliação da comunidade acadêmica. Como parâmetro de qualidade, as bases de dados bibliográficas são empregadas para a seleção dos periódicos mais importantes, o que as confere um papel significativo no processo avaliativo. Por outro lado, ao se restringir as análises à produção indexada, abre-se mão do todo, correndo-se o risco de desqualificar a produção em periódicos não indexados. O Qualis busca contornar esse problema, ao possibilitar que as áreas valorizem os periódicos não indexados, mas nem sempre consideram o volume de artigos publicados neles. Este trabalho apresenta uma análise exploratória da dispersão da produção científica dos 260.663 pesquisadores, no nível de doutorado, registrados na Plataforma Lattes. Para a determinação do panorama nacional, foram considerados todos os artigos completos publicados em periódicos por esses pesquisadores entre os anos de 1998 e 2016. Esse panorama contempla análises discriminadas por grande área de atuação dos pesquisadores, o país de publicação e a indexação das publicações nos diferentes periódicos. Observaram-se tendências de internacionalização, assim como a importância de periódicos nacionais como veículos de publicação de parte significativa da produção científica de algumas áreas. Finalmente, ficou evidenciada a potencial limitação de estudos que não considerem a produção científica em periódicos não indexados, ou estudos restritos às bases Scopus e/ou Web of Science, ignorando a Scientific Electronic Library Online.

SUMMARY The Paspalum genus forms the natural pastures of the tropical and subtropical regions of America and includes several species of recognized forage potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different levels of nitrogen fertilization on the agronomic traits and nitrogen use efficiency in superior genotypes of Paspalum notatum Flügge. Four nitrogen fertilization levels (0, 60, 180 and 360 kg N ha-1) and nine genotypes were evaluated, six from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (30N, 36N, 48N, 70N, 83N and 95N), collected in South America, two native genotypes of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (André da Rocha and Bagual) and cv. Pensacola. The experimental design was a randomized complete block in a 4 x 9 factorial, with four field replications. From the variability of the responses found for the agronomic traits, the genotypes 48N, André da Rocha and Bagual are indicated to continue in the breeding program because they reach the maximum productive efficiencies according to the doses of N tested. The genotype 36N obtained the highest efficiency of nitrogen utilization, being biologically viable with the lowest N dose, equivalent of 60 kg of N ha-1.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to simulate the geographical distribution of the incubation period of coffee leaf rust in Coffea arabica, using data of two regional climate models, Eta-HadGEM2-ES and Eta-MIROC5. The scenario of high greenhouse gas emission (RCP 8.5 W m-2) was used for the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, Brazil, for current and future climate scenarios. The behavior of six different regression equations for incubation period (IP), available in the literature, was also analyzed as affected by data from the regional climate models. The results indicate the possibility of an increase in the affected area in the studied region, when the IP is less than 19 days, from 0.5% for Eta-MIROC5 to 14.2% for Eta-HadGEM2-ES. The severity of coffee leaf rust in future scenarios should increase in the hottest and wettest months of the year, extending to the driest and coldest months. The potential of rust infection is estimated differently by the studied equations. In higher temperature scenarios, the Kushalappa & Martins equation indicates a very high severity potential.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of covariate selection by expert knowledge on the performance of soil class predictive models in a complex landscape, in order to identify the best predictive model for digital soil mapping in the Southern region of Brazil. A total of 164 points were sampled in the field using the conditioned Latin hypercube, considering the covariates elevation, slope, and aspect. From the digital elevation model, environmental covariates were extracted, composing three sets, made up of: 21 covariates, covariates after the exclusion of the multicollinear ones, and covariates chosen by expert knowledge. Prediction was performed with the following models: decision tree, random forest, multiple logistic regression, and support vector machine. The accuracy of the models was evaluated by the kappa index (K), general accuracy (GA), and class accuracy. The prediction models were sensitive to the disproportionate sampling of soil classes. The best predicted map achieved a GA of 71% and K of 0.59. The use of the covariate set chosen by expert knowledge improves model performance in predicting soil classes in a complex landscape, and random forest is the best model for the spatial prediction of soil classes.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to characterize autochthonous bacteriophages and to determine their lytic activity on Staphylococcus aureus. Six phages were isolated from dairy barn flush water through enrichment cultures with three S. aureus strains. All phages were characterized by DNA digestion by restriction enzymes and sequencing of the DNA fragment encoding endolysin. Each phage was tested against 100 S. aureus strains isolated from bovine mastitis and from dairy products using the lysis-plate method. The sequences of the endolysin gene were highly conserved, with nucleotide similarity higher than 99% among the isolated phages. Three domains involved in the recognition and lysis of the bacterial cell wall were identified. Two bacteriophages isolated from the dairy barns present high lytic activity on S. aureus, on a wide range of host strains, indicating their potential for studies on phage therapy in dairy cattle or as a biological control agent for dairy products.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the development of the morphometric characteristics of Mangalarga Marchador horses through nonlinear models. The transversal method was used to collect data on height at the withers (HW), body length (BL), and thoracic (TP) and cannon (CP) perimeters from 200 horses (75 males and 125 non-pregnant females), aged between 6 and 153 months. The parameters of the Brody, Gompertz, logistic, and von Bertalanffy nonlinear models were estimated using the R software. Models were compared and selected using the coefficient of determination, the residual standard deviation, and the corrected Akaike information criterion. For adult females, HW, BL, TP, and CP ranged between 146.45-148.34, 148.59-151.64, 179.07-182.88, and 18.25-18.76 cm, respectively. For males, HW, BL, and CP ranged between 148.55-151.80, 150.77-154.88, and 18.95-19.41 cm, respectively. The logistic model best expresses growth in HW for males and females, as well as in BL and CP for males, whereas the Brody model is the best predictor for HW, BL, TP, and CP for females. The increase in the values of the morphometric measurements is more rapid and homogeneous between the ages of 6 and 24 months, stabilizing at 60 months in both sexes.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to select rootstocks, based on the agronomic characters and fruit quality of the 'Valência' orange tree. The evaluated rootstocks were: the 'Cleópatra' mandarin; the TSKFL x CTTR-013, LVK x LCR-038, TSKC x CTQT 1439-004, LVK x LVA-009, TSK x TRENG-256 ('Indio' citrandarin) hybrid genotypes; the 'Santa Cruz' Rangpur lime; and the TSKFL x CTC-25-002, and TSKC x CTSW-038 hybrids. The experiment was installed in 2010 and evaluated from 2013 to 2017. The parameters plant height, canopy volume, yield efficiency, scion:rootstock ratio, survival percentage, and drought tolerance were evaluated in 2017. The yield average of five harvests was estimated, as well as the annual production per plant and the accumulated production. The analyzed fruit traits were: mass, diameter, peel length and thickness, juice yield, soluble solids, acidity, and technological index. 'Valência' shows a lower plant height and canopy volume, besides a higher yield efficiency, when grafted on TSKC x CTSW-038 than on the other rootstocks. LVK x LCR-038, TSKC x CTQT 1439-004, 'Indio' citrandarin, and 'Santa Cruz' Rangpur lime increase the production of the 'Valência' orange. LVK x LCR-038 and the 'Indio' citrandarin induce the scion to produce a better quality fruit.

Published: November 2019

Abstract The aim of this paper is to carry out a nonlinear static analysis using a case study of a pile-supported wharf in a new oil tankers port. The seismic activity in this area is very intense with the peak ground acceleration of 0.55 g; for this reason, it is very important to analyse the structural behaviour of the nonlinear situation. The analysis of the wharf, modelled in 3D by finite element method, serves to calculate the structure vibration periods (the structure’s first period is 1.68 s) and the capacity curve. The design of the structure follows traditional criteria by international guidelines, and its procedure is in accordance to classic theoretical methods and codes. For the selection of adequate characteristic earthquake input for the pushover analysis European and Venezuelan codes have been used. Besides being important to study the seismic influence on the body of the wharf and on critical elements, as well as and the interaction fluid-structure-soil, it is also important to analyse the consequences of structure failure and to estimate the maximum allowed displacement. The results show that the ultimate displacement is 18,81 cm. A port is an extremely strategic work, which needs to be carefully designed to avoid environmental damage and maintain human safety.
