Análise das tendências nas relações entre fluxo de veículos, arborização e os níveis de intensidade de ruído
Authors: Porto Michelle Lara , Jesus Edmir Dos Santos , Pereira Junior Antonio
Published: January 2018

A intensidade do ruído nos centros urbanos está diretamente ligada ao crescimento desordenado das cidades. Essa pesquisa objetivou analisar e relacionar os níveis de intensidade sonora provenientes do tráfego de veículos com a temperatura, velocidade do vento, fluxo de veículos e presença de vegetação na Praça da Bíblia, Bairro Cidade Nova, Marabá -PA, margem direita da Rodovia Transamazônica (BR 230). A metodologia empregada foi a exploratória, observativa, sistemática e direta. A área de estudo foi dividida em três seções: A e B, vias arteriais separadas por canteiro central contendo palmeiras, e C, via local, arborizada. Nas três seções, os dados foram coletados durante sessenta dias (abril-maio, 2016) em três horários (06h30min às 07h30min; 12h30min às 13h30min; 18h30min às 19h30min) em cinco pontos (P1, P2, P3, P4 e P5) distantes entre si em quarenta e cinco metros. Os dados obtidos indicaram, quanto à relação entre o fluxo de veículos e a intensidade do ruído, uma tendência a elevação da segunda variável, na seção C (r = 0,72); em relação as áreas arbóreas (altura total), os dados indicaram que a seção C, apresentou tendência a elevada intensidade de ruído (r = 0,72); quanto em função da altura total, houve tendência a diminuição (r = 0,72), mas, para o diâmetro, houve uma tendência de nulidade (r = 0,02), ou seja, essa variável não interfere na intensidade do ruído.  Logo, a relação quanto à diminuição da intensidade do ruído, está relacionada com a altura da árvore, pois quanto mais baixa maior será a barreira sonora.

Authors: Vieira Cristiane Ramos , Weber Oscarlina Lúcia dos Santos
Published: January 2018

A cinza de madeira, embora pouco utilizada na composição de substrato para produção de mudas, pode conter nutrientes prontamente disponíveis e, por conseguinte, aumentar as condições de fertilidade do substrato. Por isso, foi realizado experimento com o objetivo de verificar a combinação de: solo, substrato comercial (Plantmax®) e cinzas de madeira, mais adequada para a produção de mudas de Eucalyptus camaldulensis. As mudas foram produzidas em tubetes com capacidade para 160 cm³, com uso de sementes germinadas em areia e vermiculita. Ao atingirem 15 cm de altura, as plantas foram transplantadas para os tratamentos: 100% solo; 75% solo + 25% cinzas; 75% Plantmax® + 25% cinzas; 50% solo + 50% cinzas; 50% Plantmax® + 50% cinzas; 50% solo + 25% Plantmax® + 25% cinzas, dispostos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com 10 repetições. A avaliação do crescimento ocorreu 90 dias após o transplante, com a medição da altura da parte aérea, diâmetro de colo, biomassa de folhas, biomassa de caule, biomassa de raízes e concentrações de nutrientes nas folhas. As combinações de substratos que proporcionaram o maior crescimento das mudas de E. camaldulensis foram 50% solo + 50% cinzas e 50% Plantmax® + 50% cinzas.
DIREITOS HUMANOS E JUVENTUDE: REPRESENTAÇÕES DA ADOLESCÊNCIA EM CONFLITO COM A LEI NO BRASIL
Authors: Sousa Luiza Eridan Elmiro Martins de , Bezerra Anna Paula Fagundes
Published: January 2018

Discussões acerca da redução da maioridade penal, bem como da criação de uma justiça juvenil vêm ganhando espaço no campo das políticas públicas voltadas para este segmento. Segundo esta direção, este trabalho propõe um resgate da história dos sistemas de vigilância e punição e das ações voltadas para a penalização dos adolescentes autores de atos infracionais. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura, busca-se tecer um quadro das transformações no sistema punitivo infantil brasileiro e sua consolidação enquanto sistema socioeducativo. Observou-se que no decorrer do processo histórico brasileiro ocorreu a passagem da visão da criança e do adolescente como objetos de repressão para sujeito de direitos e, ultimamente, a inclusão destes enquanto “classe perigosa” e “sujeitos à punição”, ideologia esta que acaba influindo de maneira decisiva na constituição de políticas públicas voltadas para a questão do adolescente em conflito com a lei.

ESTUDO COMPARATIVO DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE DIREITOS HUMANOS LGBTS DO URUGUAI E BRASIL
Authors: Silva Matheus Da , Guimarães Elisabeth Da Fonseca
Published: January 2018

No Uruguai, a homossexualidade deixou de ser crime em 1938 e as leis que criminalizam a discriminação estão em vigor desde 2003. No Brasil, contraditoriamente, as políticas públicas acontecem de forma lenta, devido ao grande conservadorismo que existe dentro do governo, o que acaba dificultando os projetos que visam o reconhecimento e a proteção da identidade LGBT. Sendo assim, seguindo o método empírico da observação analítica, este estudo propõe uma revisão bibliográfica acerca dos direitos humanos à luz dos direitos LGBTs. Propõe, ainda, ressaltar a importância que as organizações internacionais terão nesse processo, em que os documentos da Associação Internacional de Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Trans e Intersex, Comissão Interamericana de Direitos Humanos e Organização dos Estados Americanos possibilitam levantar os dados para fazer a comparação, além de analisar os relatórios dos portais governamentais de ambos os países. Com isso, observa-se que o Uruguai acaba sendo um dos Estados mais inclusivos e amistosos da América Latina para o público LGBT, devido às suas ações unificadas e progressivas. E que o Brasil possui suas especificidades, uma vez que políticas públicas são criadas com menor intensidade, aliando-se a um histórico de tratados internacionais, em meio a violação de direitos humanos.

Saturated simple and 2-simple topological graphs with few edges
Authors: Hajnal Péter , Igamberdiev Alexander , Rote Günter , Schulz André
Published: January 2018

A simple topological graph is a topological graph
in which any two edges have at most one common point, which
is either their common endpoint or a proper crossing.
More generally, in a $k$-simple topological graph,
every pair of edges has at most $k$ common points of this kind.
We construct saturated simple and 2-simple graphs
with few edges. These are $k$-simple graphs
in which no further edge can be added.
We improve the previous upper bounds
of Kynčl, Pach, Radoičić, and Tóth [Comput. Geom., 48, 2015] and show that
there are saturated simple graphs on $n$ vertices with only $7n$ edges and
saturated 2-simple graphs on $n$ vertices with $14.5n$ edges.
As a consequence, there is a $k$-simple graph (for a general $k$), which can be saturated using $14.5n$ edges, while previous upper bounds suggested $17.5n$ edges.
We also construct saturated simple and 2-simple graphs that have some vertices
with low degree.

Parasitism without frontiers: Infection variability of an intermediate host across multiple spatial scales
Authors: Rodríguez Sara M , Aliaga Fernando C , Valdivia Nelson
Published: January 2018

Background. Parasites are heterogeneously distributed in intermediate host populations, but how this variability changes between multiple geographic scales remain unclear. Here, we test whether in a complex host-parasite system developing in sandy shores, the high spatiotemporal variability in the physical structure of these habitats will lead to comparatively high variability in parasitosis observed at the local- (i.e. few metres) and meso-scale (i.e. tens of km), relative to the regional scale (several 100s of km).

Methods. Here, we analyse the spatial variability of acanthocephalan parasites infecting decapod molecrabs according to a hierarchical design spanning more than 500 km of the southern-central shore of Chile. We predicted that the local effects could potentially influence the host-parasite interaction by generating a large amount of between-site heterogeneity in parasitosis and thus, to improve our understanding of the development of epidemic and infectious processes.

Results. The analysis of generalized mixed-effect models showed that the spatial variability in parasitosis (i.e. probability of infection, parasite burden, prevalence, mean intensity, and mean abundance) was smallest at the regional scale. On the other hand, the largest amount of spatial variability of most measures of parasitosis was observed at the meso-scale. Prevalence, however, displayed similar (and high) levels of variation at meso- and local-scales.

Conclusions. We suggest that parasite infection could be related with abiotic factors that determine habitat physical stability, such as seasonal morphodynamic of sandy shores. Thus, local environmental filters can have strong and deterministic effects on the regulation of this complex host-parasite system across spatial scales.

X-Ray Diffraction and Differential Scanning Calorimetry of BaTiO3/ Polyvinyl Chloride Nanocomposites
Authors: El Zayat Mohamed Yousef Farag
Published: January 2018

AbstractAiming to improve the inferior properties of polyvinyl chloride polymer, (BaTiO3)x(PVC)100-x composite samples were prepared and investigated. The structural changes of the composite (BaTiO3)x(PVC)100-x were studied as a function of BT content using FTIR, XRD and DSC measurements. Attention is paid to the tetragonality changes during composition changes.It was found that the hindrance to the PVC crystallization becomes less and less serious with the increase of BT ratio in the composite. This behavior could be attributed to the interaction between Ba+2 ions and Chlorine in the polymer. The FTIR spectra indicate a clear interaction between PVC and BaTiO3 particles as is concluded from XRD results.The Scherrer formula was used to estimate the grain size for the included BT in the (BT)x (PVC)100x composite samples. The composite samples show abnormally small tetragonality for its BT content less than unity (?/a < 1). It seems that in (BaTiO3)x(PVC)100-x composite samples, the stress that stabilized the tetragonal phase of the core regions of BT decreased, leading to lower tetragonality (c/a ratio). It seems that Tg of the composite samples increases with the increase of its BT content. Also DSC results reveal the increase of crystallization with the increase of BT content in the composite.

The proximate composition and mineral constituents of Carallia brachiata leaf and fruit powder were evaluated for their nutritional values and mineral compositions by using standard techniques. In proximate analysis, ash, carbohydrate, proteins, fiber, fat, moisture, total energy content (dry basis) was assayed while mineral analysis were carried out by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The species showed variable results in proximate analysis of both the parts; however, the fruit of C. brachiata have revealed higher percentage of carbohydrate (65.74%) and energy values (310.25Kcal/100g). The leaf showed higher percentage of proteins (13.59%) and crude fibers (18.87%). From the results is clear that both the parts of C. brachiata are rich in micronutrients like Cu, Zn & Fe. The proximate and nutrient analysis of the species can help us to determine the health benefits achieved from their use in marginal communities.

Hydrochlorothiazide is chemically 6-chloro-1, 1-dioxo-3, 4-dihydro-2H-1, 2, 4-benzothiadiazine-7-sulfonamide. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic drug used for treatment of high blood pressure(hypertension) and accumulation of fluid (edema). It works by blocking salt and fluid reabsorption from the urine in the kidneys, causing increased urine output (dieresis). Hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat excessive fluid accumulation and swelling (edema) of the body caused byheart failure, cirrhosis, chronickidney failure, corticosteroid medications, and nephrotic syndrome. It can be used alone or in conjunction with otherblood pressure lowering medicationstotreat high blood pressure.This review focuses on the recent developments in analytical techniques for estimation of Hydrochlorothiazide alone or in combinations with other drugs in various biological media like human plasma and urine.

There is an ever increasing demand for energy due to the growth of population across the world. This scenario necessitates alternative, efficient and sustainable energy sources to serve the current needs, without affecting abilities to meet future generations needs. Piezoelectricity is a widely researched sustainable energy source. Various forms of piezoelectric materials have been used to harvest the energy from vibration, repetitive strikes and bending of structures. This paper discusses different piezoelectric materials used in tires of commercial vehicles to harvest energy that can be used to charge batteries to power the vehicle and its electric sensors. Different techniques of energy harvesting are explored using the highly bendable piezoelectric elements including PVDF and PZT. The energy harvesting relies on the deformation of tires tread-walls and side-walls when the vehicles weight acts on it. The adopted methods are compared to analyse their effectiveness in terms of power production capacity.

Published: January 2018

Hemangioma are rare tumor originating from the pericytes, the contractile cells that surround capillaries. This tumor arises from pericapillary cells or pericytes of Zimmerman and can occur anywhere where capillaries are found . Howeverhemangiopericytoma develops mainly in the lower extremities, retroperitoneum or pelvis. The recommended treatment for a hemangiopericytoma is wide excision. Since many benign and malignant diseases occur in the area surrounding the anus, recognizing the presence of this malignant tumor in the presacral space is important in order to avoid inappropriate surgery such as piecemeal excision. We describe a rare case of a hemangiopericytoma in the presacral space. With posterior approach the tumour was completely removed. Pathological examination includingimmunohistologicalstains was consistent with a hemangiopericytoma.

Over the years, research works on the different liver enzymes has proven to be very helpful to man. This study evaluates the protective effects of turmeric on the liver enzymes of metronidazole-treated adult male wistar rats. With previous researches, metronidazole has been found to exert some negative effects on some organs of the body like the testis, kidney etc but the turmeric on its own part, has been found to have no side effects with a host of beneficial functions such as its anti-oxidant and antimicrobial effect amongst a host of other functions. In this study, twenty wistar rats with weight range of between 165-180g were assigned into four groups A, B, C and D of 5 each. The experimental groups A, B and C were orally administered 200mg of metronidazole, 400mg of metronidazole and 400mg of metronidazole as well as 400mg of turmeric respectively for duration of twenty-eight days while the group D served as control and were orally administered water and feed only. Twenty four hours after the last administration, the animals were anaesthetized under chloroform inhalation and dissected for organ collection. Blood for serum preparation was collected into sterile plain tubes and stored in the refrigerator for analysis. Serum samples from the bloods were analyzed for liver enzymes activities using randox kit method. The study revealed that turmeric helped reduced the effects of metronidazole on the serum activities of ALT, AST and ALP on the liver. This present study suggests that metronidazole could have negative effects on the liver and so advises that turmeric be added when on metronidazole administration.
