Thinking outside the cist: interpreting a unique artefact assemblage from an Early Bronze Age burial on the Isle of Man
Authors: Crellin Rachel J. , Fowler Chris , Gamble Michelle
Published: October 2020

Recent analysis of Early Bronze Age human remains from Staarvey Farm on the Isle of Man has revealed a rare bone knife pommel and 20 other bone objects, offering insight into the importance of bone ornaments and artefact fittings at this time. This article adopts a relational typological approach to analyse the Staarvey burial and comparable assemblages, identifying patterns in the deposition of knife pommels in central and southern Britain. In exploring regional interaction in Early Bronze Age Britain and Ireland, the authors refine and move beyond traditional typologies to trace types of both objects and practice. This approach allows them to consider multiple, overlapping spheres of funerary practice and their relation to identities at different regional scales.
Climate variability and landscape dynamics in the Late Hellenistic and Roman north-eastern Peloponnese
Authors: Bonnier Anton , Finné Martin
Published: October 2020

Research on ancient Greek rural settlement and agricultural economies often emphasises political agency as a driving force behind landscape change, with comparatively less attention directed to the potential effects of climate. This study analyses climate variability and the spatial configuration of land use in the north-eastern Peloponnese during the Late Hellenistic and Roman (c. 150 BC–AD 300) periods. A synthesis of archaeological field survey data combined with new palaeoclimatological data provides novel insight into how changing climate influenced land use. The authors argue that although climatic variability alone did not drive socio-economic change, drying conditions may have influenced the relocation of agricultural production.
Preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy for death anxiety in Iranian clients diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder
Authors: Davazdahemami Mohammad Hassan , Bayrami Abolfazl , Petersen Julie M. , Twohig Michael P. , Bakhtiyari Maryam , Noori Mohammad , Kheradmand Ali
Published: October 2020

The authors investigated the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for the treatment of death anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with eight adult women in Iran. The ACT protocol was conducted in weekly solo sessions with each participant for 8 weeks (45 minutes each). The results were analyzed by visual analysis method and improvement percentage. ACT resulted in a 60%–80% decrease in death anxiety and a 51%–60% decrease in obsessive-compulsive symptoms, thereby indicating promise for ACT as a treatment for OCD and death anxiety.
The effects of depression on the treatment of OCD in a residential sample
Authors: Wetterneck Chad T. , Leonard Rachel C. , Adams Thomas G. , Riemann Bradley C. , Grau Peter , Franklin Martin E.
Published: October 2020

Studies investigating the impact of depressive symptoms on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) treatment have yielded mixed findings. The purpose of the study is to extend previous research, which primarily used outpatient samples, to determine whether depression affects OCD treatment outcome among patients receiving intensive residential treatment. OCD patients receiving residential treatment based primarily on exposure and response prevention (ERP) provided data regarding symptoms of depression and OCD at admission and discharge. Patients reported large and significant reductions in OCD symptoms over the course of treatment. Change in OCD symptoms was not significantly affected by depressive symptoms, including patients with severe depressive symptoms. Change in depressive symptoms over the course of treatment was, however, robustly related to change in OCD symptoms, especially among patients who began treatment with severe symptoms of depression. These findings suggest that cognitive-behavior therapy delivered in a residential treatment setting drastically reduces OCD symptoms regardless of depressive symptoms.

Authors: Afzali Mohammad H. , Dagher Alain , Edalati Hanie , Bourque Josiane , Spinney Sean , Sharkey Rachel J. , Conrod Patricia
Published: October 2020

The externalizing psychopathological dimension is associated with alterations in adolescents’ functional brain connectivity. The current study aims to identify the functional correlates of the unique variability in conduct problems within the context of the broad externalizing dimension. The broad externalizing dimension and unique variability in conduct problems were estimated using a bifactor model. Resting-state data were available for a sample of 125 adolescents. Based on multiresolution parcellation of functional brain networks atlas, major resting-state functional brain networks and the connectivity correlates of unique conduct problems and the broad externalizing dimension were established. The broad externalizing dimension was related to connectivity alterations in the ventral attention/salience network, while unique variability in conduct problems dimension was related to connectivity alterations in the cerebellum crusi as well as the mesolimbic network. The current study is a first step toward the identification of functional resting-state network correlates of broad and specific variability in the externalizing dimension.
Historical origins of land rights insecurity and implications for conflict in Thailand
Authors: Vechbanyongratana Jessica , Niwatananun Kawita
Published: October 2020

This article explores the historical origins of land rights insecurity and its implications for landlessness, poverty, and contemporary conflict in Thailand. The Siamese (now Thai) government adopted the Torrens system of land administration in 1901 as part of a larger strategy to curb colonial territorial expansion in Southeast Asia. Although the Torrens system is generally associated with strong property rights, its incomplete and uneven adoption led to widespread and long-running land rights insecurity and landlessness. This article presents two case studies that demonstrate these consequences. First, the expropriation of land through the exploitation of ambiguous land rights and the implementation of new land laws. Second, the long-run associations between land rights insecurity, low levels of productive investments in agriculture, and poverty. Consequent landlessness and poverty in agricultural communities have, in turn, led to recent protests and violence in Thailand.

Published: October 2020

A series of novel benzofuran-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids were synthesized and evaluated as antifungal agents. The synthetic pathway was started from salicylaldehyde, which afforded 5-(substituted benzylthio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives in moderate to good yields. The compounds were investigated for their antifungal potential against white-rot, Trametes versicolor and brown-rot, Poria placenta and Coniophora puteana fungi at different concentrations (500, 1000 ppm). The obtaining results demonstrated that most of the compounds at 500 ppm concentration did not exhibit acceptable antifungal effects but they had better antifungal activity at 1000 ppm concentration. Compounds 5a, 5c, and 5i showed inhibition percentages of 14.6%, 23.0%, and 14.7%, against the growth of P. placenta and C. puteana, respectively. Among the compounds, the 2-(benzofuran-2-yl)-5-((2,6-difluorobenzyl)thio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (5h) hybrid was the most active one.

Habilidades de Personal Software Process (PSP) para la industria del software en Latinoamérica
Authors: Pando Soto Brian Cesar , Rodríguez Rafael Glen
Published: October 2020

This research covers the technical and soft skills required in software development, a globally in-demand activity. These skills are required to efficiently perform in a very globalized, competitive field. Previous studies show the existence of a gap between industry and academia. Training centers provide professionals with technical skills, but as of late, the need for soft skills has become apparent, making it important to study and find ways to embed them into the professionals who join the industry. The application of Personal Software Process (PSP) methodology helps students to strengthen their skills in the software development process, however, the method is not widespread in academia nor industry. This article shows the importance of soft skills, according to Latin American companies, and how PSP can reduce the skills gap.

Authors: Juozeliūnienė Irena
Published: October 2020

This chapter aims to place the study of Lithuanian transnational families within a broader body of the most recent theoretical frames through which to understand personal lives, family practices and the ways family relationships could be perceived as ‘troubled’. The author provides a short overview of theoretical approaches and research methodologies used at the Department of Sociology at Vilnius University since 2004 to frame the study of transnational families in Lithuania.
‘Troubling’ Migrant Families: Representations of Family and Migration in Official Lithuanian Policy Documents
Authors: Juozeliūnienė Irena , Bielevičiūtė Indrė
Published: October 2020

This chapter set up to examine the language of ‘family’ in key policy documents regulating family life in Lithuania. Drawing on theoretical ideas of Ribbens McCarthy the authors look into the ways of framing of family life, identify scripts of ‘normal’ family, and analyse how these, in turn, sought to portray migrant families as ‘troubling’. The research presented here was carried out in January-May 2018 and formed a sub-study of the project ‘Global Migration and Lithuanian Family: Family practices, circulation of care and return strategies’ (2017–2019) funded by the Lithuanian Research Council. Analysis of the strategic policy documents regulating family life in Lithuania in the period from 1995 to 2018 has revealed that the imagined orders of family life evolve over time, which explains the changes in the language used to describe family lives. The authors have identified the ways of portraying Lithuanian ‘family’ as ‘normal’, ‘harmonious’, and ‘sovereign’, and examined how legislators ‘troubled’ migrant families or – in a long run – depicted them as ‘sovereign, but silenced’ and as ‘important, but mysterious’.
Transnational Displays of Parenting and Caring For Elderly Parents
Authors: Juozeliūnienė Irena , Martinkėnė Gintė , Budginaitė-Mačkinė Irma
Published: October 2020

This chapter is set up to incorporate Finch’s idea of ‘display’ to examine how migrant parents, adult migrant children, and close significant persons perform a set of actions to convey to each other and the society at large that these are family-doing activities. The authors sought to demonstrate that the concept of ‘display’ could be applied to analyze transnational practices of parenting and caring for elderly parents in a quantitative way. The chapter draws on the data from a quotabased survey (N = 304) of three types of transnational families: mother-away and father-away with under-aged children living in Lithuania and adult child-away with elderly parents needing care living in Lithuania. The study was carried out in August 2018 as part of the research project ‘Global Migration and Lithuanian Family: Family Practices, Circulation of Care, and the Return Strategies’.
The Psychosocial Factors of Elementary School-Aged Children’s Compulsive Internet Use As Reported by Children and Parents
Authors: Jusienė Roma , Laurinaitytė Ilona , Pakalniškienė Vilmantė
Published: October 2020

Children’s electronic media use in the form of Internet has increased over the past decades. The activities that children engage using the Internet can lead to experiencing positive as well as negative outcomes. Recent studies have found that excessive time devoted to the Internet use and behavioral narrowing can lead to Internet addiction (Enagandula et al., 2018) or compulsive Internet use (Meerkerk et al., 2009). This phenomenon can be described as a greater risk of developing excessive online habits, which may result in impairments of individual’s activities of daily living as well as relationships with others. Specific characteristics of these associations, however, have been examined only minimally in young children. The goal of this study was to examine the peculiarities of elementary school-aged children’s Internet use in relation to sociodemographic and relationships with others, as well as possible behavioral and emotional difficulties. The sample consisted of 304 parent-child dyads. All children in the study were second or third grade students (mean age 8.47 years, SD = 0.56), 50.3% were boys. Children and parents completed the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS; Meerkerk et al., 2009) and provided information about time spent on the Internet. Parents provided sociodemographic information and completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ; Goodman, 1997), and children answered questions about their relationships with their parents and peers. The results of the study revealed significant gender differences in compulsivity of the Internet use, i.e. the estimates of boys CIUS – both provided by children and their parents – were significantly higher than girls. In overall, there was good agreement between parental and children’s reports on child’s CIUS, however parents reported higher CIUS scores and longer Internet use than children themselves. Regression analysis revealed that children’s CIUS is predicted (a) from the child’s perspective – by longer Internet time together with lower scores of child prosocial behavior, male gender, less advantaged financial situation in the family, and poorer parent-child relationships; (b) from the parent’s perspective – by longer Internet time, male gender, lower scores of child prosocial behavior, higher scores of behavioral and emotional difficulties together with less advantaged financial family status. The findings of the study are discussed in light of evidence-based practice and research.
The Idiolect of Wojciech Piotrowicz: A Vocabulary of Autobiographical Prose
Authors: Geben Kinga , Fedorowicz Irena
Published: October 2020

Wojciech Piotrowicz (born in 1940) is a Vilnius poet, prose writer, translator, journalist, social and cultural activist. He is the author of several poetry collections and volumes of memoirs. Research on which this paper is based consists of two main parts: we present the writer’s biography, which introduces a representative of the Polish intelligentsia in Lithuania, and an analysis of his lexis from his collection of short stories Moja czasoprzestrzeń (My Space-Time) (2015). The aim of the research is to investigate the lexical layers in the idiolect of the writer. Piotrowicz’s idiolect is the domain where the erudite vocabulary of the standard language blends in with the dialectical vocabulary of the Švenčionys district, in which words of rural life are frequent. In the vocabulary of his idiolect, we distinguish the following groups of lexemes: words from family language, archaisms, dialect words, and postwar Russian borrowings, referred to as “Soviet words”. The multi-layer nature of Piotrowicz’s idio­lect is a result of a complicated reality on the border between cultures, languages, times, and evidence of changes in social stratification. To summarize the research results, it can be stated that the analysis of 179 words (phrases) from the writer’s individual language shows a world of concepts, thoughts, and values that are characteristic of representatives of the intelligentsia of peasant origin, born in the 1940s. The authors of the paper consider that this study is only a contribution toward determining the peculiarities of the Polish language spoken by the intelligentsia in Lithuania in the 20th century, and that this article does not exhaust all issues of Wojciech Piotrowicz’s idiolect.
Children’s Syntactic Competence at Age 6.5–7.5 Years (Based on Utterances with Verbs of Motion)
Authors: Siudzińska Natalia , Brzeszkiewicz Kamila
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to selected issues associated with acquiring syntax competence by children who are beginning early school education. The principal aim of the article is to demonstrate how children at this age attain sentence structures constituted by verbs of movement. The feature of the selected predicates is the fact that they open a position for the biggest out of all verb classes number of positions opened by a predicate (an agent, three locative positions, an object, a tool), which gives an opportunity to view the process of acquiring syntax competence by children. Sentences with verbs of movement, chosen form utterances of children whose task was to describe situations presented in illustrations, served as the material for the research. Studies have shown that children aged between six and a half to seven and a half were able to employ the verbs of movement and the proper syntactic structure appropriately in the given circumstances. Two-position structures (single, undeveloped sentences) dominated the collected data, indicating that children create short and precise messages, naming only what is most important for them in the illustration (i.e. what they considered to be the subject of the statement). The children employed all syntactic positions. The most frequently employed positions were LOCATOR [which way] in the verbs of linear movement, TOOL and OBJECT in the phrasal verbs. The LOCATOR [from] was the least employed position. The study demonstrated that syntax development is inextricably linked to the increase in the number of words in the child’s active vocabulary. The evidence for the above statement was derived from the errors resulting from the limited amount of lexical resources acquired by children within this age group. The children did not show any major problems when it came to employing inflected forms of words. The problem was only the correct use of prepositions, especially in the context of employing the LOCATOR position [which way]. The examination findings have confirmed the presuppositions of the authors that despite the diversity of syntax positions this class of verbs is mastered fairly well by children at this age.
The Ruthenian Version of the Early Rus᾿ Exegesis on the Easter Canon and the Functioning of Ruthenian
Authors: Temchin Sergei
Published: October 2020

The Ruthenian version of the Early Rus᾿ Exegesis on John of Damascus᾿ Easter Canon is published here according to the sole known mid-16th century manuscript from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Saint Petersburg, The Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, P. Dobrokhotov collection (f. 37), No. 18, f. 302‒308). The text belongs to the little known in Early Slavic studies genre of exegesis (commentaries) on hymnography and is a part of a larger (and still unpublished) set of Old Church Slavonic hymnopgraphic commentaries compiled in Pre-Mongol Kievan Rus in the late 12th‒early 13th c. From the entire set, merely the exegesis on the Easter Canon is known to be translated from Old Church Slavonic into Ruthenian.The translation confirms the earlier conclusion that Ruthenian was never used in liturgical singing in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, since it was functioning as a lingua ad homines and clearly differed from Old Church Slavonic, which was used as a lingua ad Deum, e.g. the only Slavic Eastern Orthodox liturgical language directly addressed to God. The publication is accompanied by a description of themost important general characteristics of the Ruthenian version, which is a later and already corruptedcopy of the original translation.
Effect of sex and age on beef cattle meat pH
Authors: Muižniece I. , Kairiša D.
Published: October 2020

Aim. The aim of the study was to explain the difference of pH values in heifer and bull meat and to carry out
an analysis of the effect of age in groups of both sexes. Methods. The study contains data on 2,469 beef breed
and their crossbreed cattle fattened on farms in Latvia and Lithuania, slaughtered in a certifi ed Lithuanian
slaughterhouse ʻAgaras’ in 2018. For the assessment of the effect of sex, the beef cattle were divided into 2
study groups: 1,266 bulls and 1,203 heifers. 3 study groups were created for analysis of the effect of age: 12 –
17 months; 18 – 23 months; 24 and more months. Analysis of the data acquired was based on the indicators of
descriptive statistics. T–test and Pearson correlation analysis were used. Results. The average pH in the meat
of bulls was 5.87 ± 0.011, but in the meat obtained from heifers – 5.66 ± 0.005 (p ≤ 0.05). Within the desired
pH value from 5.4 to 5.8, the group of bulls comprised 65 % of carcasses and the group of heifers – 86 % of
carcasses. In the group of bulls, 35 % of carcasses had an increased pH in the meat (pH –≥ 5.9), while in the
heifers’group – 13%. For a small part of the carcasses in both study groups, too low pH was found in meat
(pH ≤ 5.3), with 1% in the group of bulls and 0.4% in the group of heifers. An analysis of the effect of age
found no signifi cant differences in pH values between bulls of different ages. In the heifers’study group, the
highest pH in meat was found in the group above 24 months of age, pH–5.69. Correlation analysis between
the meat pH and the slaughter results showed a weak or non–existent relationship. In the overall study group,
stronger correlation was observed between pH and fat score (r = –0.21, p < 0.05). Conclusions. The results
indicate that meat from heifers is better quality in terms of desired pH. Meat with the desired pH can be used
in the production of high-quality products that provide higher profi ts.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the discursive memories about the harm reduction strategy, which permeate the knowledge of Primary Health Care nursing professionals. Method: a qualitative and exploratory study based on the French Discourse Analysis theoretical-methodological framework. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 14 Primary Health Care nursing professionals. Results: analysis indicated a predominance of discursive memories related to the biomedical model of health conception as well as religious and moral approaches regarding psychoactive substance use. The perspective of an “expanded clinic” was discreet, highlighting the link and prevention of risks and harms from psychoactive substance use that affect the physiological dimension. Final considerations: the impact of this study emphasizes the need for permanent education proposals on harm reduction concepts in training and qualifying nursing professionals.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with suicide risk among nurses and physicians. Method: a cross-sectional study carried out at a university hospital with 216 health professionals, who answered a socio-demographic-labor questionnaire, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) for assessing suicide risk, and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21). The Poisson Regression Model was used for multiple analysis. Results: it was identified that variables such as not having a partner, history of attempted suicide, stress and depression symptoms were statistically associated with suicide risk. The prevalence of lifelong suicide attempts among nurses was 9.41%, and among physicians, 2.29%. Conclusion: the findings of this investigation enable the understanding of suicidal behavior among hospital nurses and physicians, in addition to enabling the development of prevention strategies in order to reduce suicide risk prevalence in this population group.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyse the anatomical variations of the median nerve motor branches in the elbow region. Methods: Twenty upper limbs of 10 adult male cadavers were prepared by intra-arterial injection of a solution of 10% glycerol and formaldehyde. All cadavers belonged to the institution anatomy laboratory. Results: We found a great variability within the distribution of median nerve branches leading to forearm muscles. Only three limbs (14%) presented the normal standard of innervation described in anatomy treatises. The pronator teres muscle (PTM), flexor carpi radialis (FCR), palmaris longus (PL), and the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) received exclusive innervation from the median nerve in all forearms. The anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) also originated from the median nerve in all dissected limbs. Conclusion: A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the median nerve branches is important for performing surgeries such as: approach to the proximal third of the forearm, alleviation of pronator teres and anterior interosseous nerve compression syndromes, and distal nerve transfers. It also enables a better understanding the recovery of muscle function after a nerve injury. Level of Evidence IV, Case series.
UNICOMPARTIMENTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY - 15 YEARS FOLLOW UP
Authors: CAMANHO GILBERTO LUIS
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate clinically and radiologically the long-term follow-up of patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis who underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty surgery. Methods: This study included 36 patients who underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty surgery for medial compartmental osteoarthritis with a minimum of 15-year post-operative follow-up. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon (G.L.C) using the Miller-Galante unicompartmental knee implant. Patients were analyzed regarding their clinical functional and implant radiographic conditions. Results: From the 46 patients who could have completed 15 years of follow-up, three required revision surgery with conversion to total knee arthroplasty (6.5%), 36 completed the 15-year follow-up period, and the others were lost to follow-up for reasons not related to unicompartmental arthroplasty. Conclusion: In these 36 patients, the result was satisfactory after follow-up, with complaints and sign of progression of osteoarthritis in some cases. Level of Evidence IV, Case series.

Authors: Silva Monalisa Nanaina da , Monteiro Juliana Cristina dos Santos
Published: October 2020

Objective: to evaluate and compare the self-esteem of young female university students aged between 18 and 24 years old according to race/skin color criteria. Method: a cross-sectional and quantitative study, developed with 240 undergraduate female students from a public Brazilian university. Data collection took place online through a structured questionnaire that included the participants’ sociodemographic and lifestyle habits, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, association test, and comparison of means were used. Results: most of the young women had a mean level of self-esteem. No statistically significant association was found among the “self-esteem level” and “self-reported skin color or race” variables. Conclusion: although no significant association was identified between self-reported skin color or race and level of self-esteem, young black women have lower mean self-esteem scores than young non-black women. Strategies that strengthen the self-esteem of young female university students are necessary to prevent harms to their physical and mental health, and, consequently, to their academic performance.

Published: October 2020

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sheep manure in agricultural soils on the behavior of Folsomia candida and initial growth and development of Avena sativa. For this, an Oxisol was submitted to different doses of sheep manure and was subsequently evaluated for Folsomia candida survival and avoidance behavior through standardized ecotoxicological assays, the initial performance of oats by germination test and the soil basal respiration rate by respirometry methodology. There was an increase in the basal respiration rate of the soil by the application of sheep manure and this was consistent with the increase of the doses. The survival rate and avoidance behavior of springtails were not altered and there was no change in the initial performance of oats, indicating that this manure can be used for organic fertilization of soils with low soil pollutant potential.

Authors: QUINELLO ROBSON
Published: October 2020

RESUMO O trabalho pretende analisar o processo de institucionalização do programa seis sigma em uma empresa automobilística, localizada na região do ABC no Estado de São Paulo. Temas recentes e polêmicos nos estudos organizacionais brasileiros, o movimento neo-institucionalista e os novos modelos de gestão da qualidade serviram de base para esta pesquisa. Por se tratar de um projeto de dissertação, o artigo apresenta os resultados obtidos depois da validação de um instrumento de pesquisa junto a especialistas na implementação da metodologia do seis sigma. Por meio da aplicação de uma triangulação metodológica, composta por questionários e entrevistas, foi possível identificar o estágio de institucionalização do programa e concluir que a consolidação deste ainda não foi atingida. A validação do instrumento de pesquisa utilizado servirá de apoio às futuras pesquisas relacionadas à teoria institucional.

RESUMO Este trabalho tem como objetivo o estudo das estratégias de extensão de marca e seu papel para a competitividade, bem como a percepção dos consumidores relativa a esta estratégia. O trabalho é norteado pelo tripé: marca-produto-con-sumidor. Inclui estudos que visam explorar e conceituar a estratégia de extensão de marca; identificar as diferenças entre extensão de marca e extensão de linha; apresentar os riscos e benefícios desta estratégia; e por fim entender a percepção dos consumidores relativa à prática da extensão. O tema deste estudo é bastante relevante para o meio acadêmico e profissional, uma vez que a prática da extensão tem se tornado cada vez mais comum e presente nas decisões estratégicas relativas às marcas. A era é da extensão e não mais da criação de novas marcas. Como se trata de uma pesquisa teórica, são utilizados livros, textos e artigos dos principais autores que tratam de extensão de marca no Brasil e no mundo.

Resumo Muitos estudantes de física e de certos cursos de engenharia se deparam com a disciplina de cálculo numérico, desenvolvendo-a de maneira puramente abstrata. Desta forma, este trabalho visa o uso do calculo numérico como ferramenta para soluções de problemas envolvendo a mecânica quântica com o intuito de demonstrar na prática a sua aplicação na obtenção e análise de resultados em dois problemas específicos: ( i ) O poço de potencial duplo tipo δ ( x ) simétrico. ( i i ) E o poço quadrado potencial infinito com uma barreira de potencial centrada, tipo δ ( x ). Para estes dois casos mostramos que as soluções possíveis de energias permitidas podem ser obtidas pelo cálculo numérico, especificamente pelo método da bisseção. Mostramos também que a paridade da função de onda interfere diretamente nos estados permitidos e nos efeitos sobre a partícula submetida a estes dois potenciais.
Resfriamento evaporativo da água em um refrigerador de vaso cerâmico: estudo experimental da transferência de calor e massa
Authors: Barros M. Paes de
Published: October 2020

Resumo Este artigo descreve um experimento quantitativo destinado a avaliar o desempenho de um refrigerador de vaso cerâmico que trabalha com o princípio de resfriamento evaporativo e comparar os resultados experimentais com valores previstos em modelo de transferência de calor e massa. O experimento, desenvolvido durante aulas de “Instrumentação para o Ensino”, foi concebido para ser facilmente implementado pelos alunos que, além de realizar os ensaios, confeccionaram uma planilha eletrônica que modela o problema e avalia a consistência dos resultados. O modelo baseado em uma transferência simplificada de calor e massa mostra-se em boa concordância quantitativa com as medições experimentais. O experimento, que permite identificar os mecanismos de transferência envolvidos em um sistema físico real, pode ser empregado em sala de aula para apoiar o ensino de Física nessa área.
ESTUDO COMPARATIVO ENTRE OS TESTES ADOTADOS PELO PNCEBT PARA O DIAGNÓSTICO SOROLÓGICO DA BRUCELOSE EM BOVINOS
Authors: Meirelles-Bartoli R.B. , Mathias L.A.
Published: October 2020

RESUMO Avaliaram-se comparativamente as provas do antígeno acidificado tamponado (AAT), a combinação das provas de soroaglutinação lenta e 2-mercaptoetanol (2-ME) e a reação de fixação de complemento (RFC), provas preconizadas pelo Programa Nacional de Controle e Erradicação de Brucelose Tuberculose (PNCEBT). Para tanto, foram alisadas 1.061 amostras de soros bovinos. Os dados foram analisados pelo indicador kappa, adotando-se como ponto de corte o título 25 no 2-ME e 4 na RFC. Constatou-se sensibilidade relativa de 99,6%, 98,8% e 91,1%, respectivamente, para o AAT, a 2-ME e a RFC, e especificidade relativa de 83,9%, 96,2% e 100,0%. A comparação entre os testes adotados pelo programa apontou concordância boa entre o teste de triagem (AAT) e os testes confirmatórios (kappa: 2-ME = 0,80; e RFC = 0,73) e concordância ótima quando os testes confirmatórios foram comparados entre si (kappa = 0,86). No entanto foram encontrados soros com título elevado em um dos testes confirmatórios e resultado negativo no outro, o que reforça a ideia de que o diagnóstico sorológico da brucelose é mais confiável quando obtido por meio dos resultados de vários testes.

RESUMO A ocorrência de coccidiose clínica em aves está relacionada com a competência do sistema imune. Com o objetivo de avaliar a ocorrência natural de coccidiose em aves imunossuprimidas, foram selecionados frangos de corte, de ambos os sexos, com a 35 a 38 dias de vida para constituir 3 grupos - grupo I (n = 25), formado por aves sem coccidiose e negativas para coccídias no exame de fezes; grupo II (n = 25), formado por aves com coccidiose e positivas para coccídias no exame de fezes, e grupo III (n = 25), formado por aves sem coccidiose, negativas para coccídias no exame de fezes e submetidas à imunossupressão com dexametasona (4 mg/kg/dia por 4 dias, via subcutânea). Realizou-se o diagnóstico de coccidiose com a técnica de centrífugo-flutuação com solução saturada de sacarose para investigação de oocistos nas fezes e pela análise macro e microscópica das lesões intestinais observadas após a necropsia. A resposta imune foi avaliada pela reação de hipersensibilidade basofílica cutânea (CBH) à fitoemaglutinina (PHA) e pela relação entre o peso corporal e o peso da bursa de Fabricius ou do baço. Os frangos dos grupos II e III apresentaram menor reação CBH à PHA que os do grupo I, evidenciando-se diminuição da resposta imune. As aves do grupo III mostraram diminuição significante do peso da bursa de Fabricius e do baço em relação aos animais dos outros grupos. As espécies de coccídias encontradas foram E. acervulina e E. maxima nos animais dos grupos II e III, sendo ainda observada E. tenella nas aves do grupo III. A imunossupressão induzida pela dexametasona aumentou a suscetibilidade à coccidiose de ocorrência natural em frangos de corte criados comercialmente.

Published: October 2020

RESUMO Avaliou-se o uso de inseticidas em tratamento de sementes de girassol no controle das pragas Cerotoma arcuatus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) e Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) e a influência desses inseticidas na qualidade fisiológica das sementes, durante o armazenamento. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que tiodicarbe 600 g i.a./ 100 kg de sementes proporcionou aproximadamente 80, 100 e 85% de controle de A. gemmatalis de 1º ínstar, S. frugiperda de 2º ínstar e adultos de C. arcuatus, respectivamente. Entretanto, esse mesmo tratamento foi ineficiente no controle de lagartas de S. frugiperda de 3º ínstar e de B. tabaci. No controle de adultos de C. arcuatus, além de tiodicarbe 600 g i.a./100 kg sementes que apresentou bons resultados, tiodicarbe + imidacloprido 157,5 + 52,5 g i.a., tiametoxam 210 e 280 g i.a., imidacloprido 245 e fipronil 50 g i.a./100 kg de sementes apresentaram eficiência acima de 80% no controle dessa praga. No controle da A. gemmatalis apenas fipronil 50 g i.a./100 kg sementes e azadiractina 10 e 20 g. i.a./100 kg de sementes proporcionaram valores menores que 80% de controle, nas doses testadas, enquanto que, para o manejo da mosca-branca, nenhum dos tratamentos estudados proporcionou controle superior a 80%. Nenhum dos inseticidas avaliados nos diferentes tempos de armazenamento (até quatro meses após o tratamento) prejudicou a germinação e a emergência das sementes.

RESUMO Plantas são fontes naturais de substâncias inseticidas, já que podem ser produzidas pelo vegetal em resposta a ataques de insetos podendo representar uma alternativa no manejo de insetos-praga, como Spodoptera frugiperda. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho objetivou a análise histopatológica do intestino médio de lagartas de S. frugiperda, após a ingestão dos extratos obtidos por maceração e infusão de Petiveria alliacea. Zingiber officinale. Cymbopogon citratus. Malva silvestris. Baccharis genistelloides e Ruta graveolens, assim como a associação desses extratos com Bacillus thuringiensis aizawai. As lagartas foram tratadas in vivo com cada extrato e a bactéria, mais a associação desses extratos com B. thuringiensis e após, uma reação de cinética entre 3 e 27 horas, foram fixadas para o preparo de cortes histológicos, os quais foram corados e analisados comparativamente às testemunhas em microscopia óptica. Os resultados mostraram mudanças na histologia do intestino médio das lagartas de S. frugiperda, 3 horas após a aplicação dos tratamentos à base de alliacea. Z. officinale. C. citratus e M. silvestris, enquanto que para B. genistelloides e R. graveolens só foram observados alterações após 6h. Na interação dos extratos com B. thuringiensis observou-se alterações nas microvilosidades, desorganização do intestino médio e a hipertrofia das células epiteliais que projetaram-se para o lúmen. Os resultados desse trabalho mostram que o efeito histopatológico de Z. officinale. M. silvestris. R. graveolens e B. genistelloides, foram mais ativos quando comparados aos extratos de P. alliacea e C. citratus, os quais apresentaram uma interação positiva com B. thuringiensis.
