La extraña pareja. Intersecciones entre clases y sexualidades subalternas
Authors: Aramburu Otazu Mikel
Published: July 2024

En el análisis social contemporáneo, la intersección de clase y sexualidad ha sido poco explorada. De hecho, ambas han tendido a ocupar polos opuestos en diferentes problematizaciones teóricas. En particular, la idea del desplazamiento de las reclamaciones económicas por parte de las culturales (de las que las identidades homoeróticas serían uno de sus mayores exponentes), parece haberse revigorizado en los últimos años, planteándose a veces como una especie de juego de suma cero, donde unas van en detrimento de las otras. Esta oposición será problematizada en este artículo a partir del análisis del discurso autobiográfico de una serie de intelectuales LGTB procedentes de clases trabajadoras, tanto de Francia como de Catalunya. Estos ejercicios de autoanálisis combinan la denuncia de la homofobia vivida en sus familias y comunidades de origen con la crítica a la dominación de clase y a la vivencia del clasismo en trayectorias de movilidad social. Los relatos autobiográficos analizados presentan una reflexión donde la subjetivación de clase (desestimulada por la hegemonía neoliberal en las últimas décadas) se nutre de una serie de categorías, metáforas y estrategias identitarias surgidas de las experiencias LGTB. Estas reflexiones autobiográficas plantean un tipo de interseccionalidad que no es el de la fragmentación y atomización de las formas de opresión como experiencias inconmensurables, sino uno que suscita resonancias y paralelismos entre diferentes expresiones de la diferencia y la desigualdad, de la dominación y la liberación, y que permite que aquellas áreas de la subjetividad menos legitimadas se vean estimuladas por la reflexividad desarrollada en otros ámbitos de la vida.
Tejiendo conocimiento entre antropología y activismo: pasos hacia una etnografía compartida
Authors: Valeth Xenia , Cera Márquez Carmina
Published: July 2024

En este artículo, presentamos la etnografía compartida como propuesta metodológica experimental, explorando las oportunidades y los retos del trabajo conjunto entre una científica social y una persona de formación distinta, ambas sin vínculo personal con la sociedad estudiada. Proponemos un estudio corresponsable en todos los aspectos: el diseño del proyecto, el trabajo de campo, el análisis y las publicaciones. Partiendo de nuestra experiencia de investigación intergeneracional compartida entre antropología y activismo sobre los proyectos autogestionados del barrio de Exarchia (Atenas), argumentamos que el diálogo permanente entre conocimientos diversos enriquece la etnografía y la teorización, a la vez que necesita de una reflexividad y una sensibilidad emocional elevada tanto en el campo como entre investigadoras.
Aporías de la incapacidad moral permanente. ¿Cabe servirse de la ética para revocar a un presidente?
Authors: Ibáñez Franklin
Published: July 2024

El texto examina los problemas de la moralización de la política a partir de la categoría “incapacidad moral permanente”, la cual se ha utilizado en el Perú para deponer a tres presidentes en los últimos años. Se interpreta dicha categoría en dos momentos: primero, como la evaluación ética de la conducta del mandatario, y, segundo, como la ausencia o daño de alguna capacidad constitutiva de la agencia moral. En el primer caso, se exponen tres posibles contenidos de la moral desde la cual evaluar el accionar del gobernante. En el segundo caso, acudiendo a tres tradiciones éticas, se presentan tres capacidades -cognitiva, volitiva y empática- que pudieran ser esenciales para considerar un sujeto como moralmente responsable. Luego, se revisan algunas aporías a las que conlleva el uso indiscriminado de la “incapacidad moral permanente”, cuya solución supondría una reforma constitucional.

Efficacy and safety of greater occipital nerve block with a small volume of lidocaine and methylprednisolone in tertiary headache center
Authors: Rosignoli Chiara , Onofri Agnese , De Santis Federico , Sacco Simona , Ornello Raffaele
Published: July 2024

Background: The greater occipital nerve block (GON-B) is used in clinical practice for treating different forms of headache. There is no standardized procedure to perform GON-B. This study evaluates the efficacy and feasibility of a low-volume GON-B protocol utilizing a pre-mixed solution of lidocaine (10 mg) and methylprednisolone (40 mg) across various headache disorders. Methods: This observational case series included patients receiving their first GON-B from November 2019 to February 2021. Participants were diagnosed with migraine, cluster headache, cervicogenic headache, or paroxysmal hemicrania. The primary outcome was the degree of response to the GON-B. Results: Thirty-nine patients with migraine underwent a first GON-B. Regarding headache frequency, 26% achieved substantial response and 33% partial response. For headache intensity, 26% reported substantial and 49% partial improvement. Migraine patients experienced a significant reduction in median monthly headache days from 25 to 13 (p=0.001) and in headache intensity from a median of 8 to 6 on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scale (p<0.001). Of the 27 patients receiving a second GON-B, 33% had a substantial response, 48% a partial response, and 19% no response. Results from subsequent sessions were consistent with these findings. Ten patients with cluster headache underwent GON-B, showing a significant reduction in pain intensity from a median NRS score of 10 to 5 (p=0.008). Two patients with cervicogenic headache showed a partial response to GON-B, with pain intensity decreasing from 8 to 6 and 8 to 7 over 30 monthly episodes. A patient with paroxysmal hemicrania received seven GON-B injections, reducing daily attacks from 30 to 10 and pain intensity from 7 to 6 on the NRS scale. Conclusions: These outcomes affirm GON-B potential in interrupting pain pathways, even at a low dose, in a wide range of headache disorders.

Published: July 2024

Real time recognition and detection of tomato fruit maturity is a key function of tomato picking robots. Existing recognition and detection algorithms have slow speed and low recognition accuracy for small tomatoes. Here, a tomato fruit maturity detection model YOLOv5s3 based on improved YOLOv5s was proposed and its accuracy was verified through comparative experiments. On the basis of YOLOv5s, an SC module was proposed based on channel shuffle packet convolution. Then, A C3S module is constructed, which replaced the original C3 module with this C3S module to reduce the number of parameters while maintaining the feature expression ability of the original network. And a 3-feature fusion FF module was put forward, which accepted inputs from three feature layers. The FF module fused two feature maps from the backbone network. The C2 layer of the backbone was integrated, and the large target detection head was removed to use dual head detection to enhance the detection ability of small targets. The experimental results showed that the improved model has a detection accuracy of 94.8%, a recall rate of 96%, a parameter quantity of 3.02M, and an average accuracy (mAP0.5) of 93.3% for an intersection over union (IoU) of 0.5. The detection speed reaches 9.4ms. It can quickly and accurately identify the maturity of tomato fruits, and the detection speed is 22.95%, 33.33%, 48.91%, 68.35%, 15%, and 25.98% higher than the original YOLOv5s, YOLOv5m, YOLOv5l, YOLOv5x, YOLOv5n, and YOLOv4, respectively. The real-time testing visualization results of different models indicated that the improved model can effectively improve detection speed and solve the problem of low recognition rate for small tomatoes, which can provide reference for the development of picking robots.
Evaluation of microclimate in dairy farms using different model typologies in computational fluid dynamics analyses

Published: July 2024

Ventilation plays a key role in the livestock buildings since it is important to guarantee a comfortable environment and adequate indoor air quality for the animals. Naturally ventilated barns are usually characterized by high variability in the ventilation conditions. Moreover, the ventilation efficiency can be very different in different areas of a barn because of the different presence of the animals. On the other hand, appropriate ventilation is an essential requirement to ensure animal welfare and efficient and sustainable production since a proper ventilation is the most efficient way to remove undesirable air pollutants and to obtain a comfortable microclimate for the welfare of the animals. In this regard, the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations represent a powerful and useful tool because they can be used to assess ventilation and microclimate conditions. In this context, the present study has the object to assess whether different CFD modelling approaches (i.e. model with animals modelled as obstacles with closed volume and model enriched with cows modelled as obstacles capable of exchanging heat with the surrounding air volume) show differences in relation to the climatic conditions inside a naturally ventilated dairy barn. The comparison of the results, set in terms of indoor air temperature and air velocity contours of the two different models, arises that if a precise definition of the microclimatic features is necessary, in order to correlate them with production parameters or assess animal welfare indexes, thermal simplification is not acceptable since can lead to completely misleading conclusions and incorrect evaluations. Then, only adopting CFD models considering the animal thermal behaviour is possible to obtain effective information both for the proper barn system management and for the creation of useful tools driving the farmers' choices.
Intelligent system based on a satellite image detection algorithm and a fuzzy model for evaluating sugarcane crop quality by predicting uncertain climatic parameters
Authors: Badillo-Márquez Alina Evelyn , Pardo-Escandón Isaí , Aguilar-Lasserre Alberto Alfonso , Moras-Sánchez Constantino Gerardo , Flores-Asis Rita
Published: July 2024

The increase in uncertain weather affects agriculture, impacting crop yield and quality, mainly due to the interaction of climatic variables such as temperature, wind speed, and humidity. In addition, soil erosion and nutrient loss are regional problems aggravated by inadequate agricultural practices in developing sugarcane agriculture. The present research proposes an Intelligent System based on a detection algorithm and a fuzzy model to estimate the quality of the sugarcane crop and the probability of the presence of pests and diseases through the prediction of uncertain variables. Wind speed, cloudiness, humidity, and thermal amplitude were considered variables of interest because parameters out of control of these variables generate a state of thermal stress, triggering pests and diseases that reduce crop quality and sugar production. This research uses geospatial information to simplify the exchange of information through a detection algorithm using real-time satellite images and a fuzzy model to estimate crop quality and prevent climate change-related problems. The variables humidity and cloudiness determine sugarcane quality as they are related to crop phenology and the probability that the crop will develop pests and diseases. In contrast, the intelligent system showed a correlation of over 93% for predicting the variables of interest.
Efficacy evaluation of some bio-insecticides against green leaf hopper (Amrasca biguttula biguttula Ishida) infesting brinjal
Authors: Mollah Mahi Imam
Published: July 2024

In Bangladesh, brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is an important vegetable crop due to its year-round cultivation, high demand for consumption, and nutritional value. The main obstacle to the successful cultivation and production of brinjal is insect pests. The current study was carried out in the winter, when green leafhoppers (Amrasca biguttula biguttula), one type of sucking insect pest, are most prevalent. Early in the vegetative stage, an infestation of green leaf hoppers (GLH) was noted; as the canopy size increased, so did their numbers. The consumption of brinjal with its peel poses a health risk due to possible contamination with toxic chemical insecticides. We assess a few non-toxic or minimally toxic bio-insecticides against GLH in order to tackle this crucial problem. Fizimite, one of the bio-insecticides, was found to be effective against GLH in a sodium lauryl ether sulfate preparation. Fizimite decreased the amount of GLH in the plant by 85.8%, the amount of leaf infestation by 77.84%, and the amount of GLH-infected brinjal leaf abundance by 54.34%. But Voliam Flexi, a chemical control, was also discovered to be successful against GLH. Fizimite may therefore be a non-toxic, bio-rational substitute for Voliam Flexi, a synthetic, toxic medication used to control GLH.

Authors: Karthikeyan Surya , Veeraraghavan Ravi , Painatt Jaeson Mohanan , Manimangalath Girisankar , Vijayan Krishnaa
Published: July 2024

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the delivery of dental care globally. Air contamination during aerosol and splatter-generating procedures is of great concern to dental healthcare provider during these times. Extra oral suction (EOS) apparatus has been shown to be effective in preventing infection by control of aerosol. But very limited data is available regarding the efficacy of the apparatus in preventing splatter contamination.

Objectives of the Study:

To assess the efficacy of EOS apparatus in reducing frequency and mean intensity of splatter contamination at clinician, assistant, patient sites during lower third molar surgical procedures.

Materials and Methods:

Patients who required surgical removal of an impacted lower third molar were divided into two groups (EOS and non-EOS) with 20 patients each. Universal indicating paper (UIP) was placed in specific locations on the surgeon, patient, and assistant. Colour changes after the settling of splatter on the UIP were analyzed to calculate the percentage intensity of splatter contamination.

Results:

The use of an EOS device has shown an overall reduction in the total number of contaminated sites, with a difference of 6.36%. Surgeon, patient, and assistant sites showed reductions of 6.25, 10%, and 1.66%, respectively. The apparatus has showed statistically significant reduction of splatter frequency and intensity at the patient's chest and left shoulder regions respectively, during surgical removal of the impacted 48.

Conclusion:

The magnitude of splatter contamination during minor dentoalveolar surgical procedures is inevitable. Therefore, to achieve a better working environment, usage of an EOS apparatus is advocated.

Twenty-four restorations were evaluated in 19 patients with a recall rate of 85.7% at 12 months. Significant differences were found in marginal integrity and marginal discoloration within both restorative materials between different time intervals (P < 0.05). However, none of the materials were superior to another regarding all assessed criteria.

Conclusions:

Both zirconia-reinforced GI and conventional highly viscous GI have acceptable clinical performance.
A Combination of Beta-tricalcium Phosphate, Plasmogel, and Platelet-rich Plasma Improves Long-term Bone Tissue Restoration after Complicated Lower Third Molar Surgery: A Nonrandomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Mugalbayeva Madina Amanzholovna , Mirzakulova Ulmeken Rakhimovna , Zaitenova Gulbaran Baigazinovna , Uglanov Zharkinbek Shertajuly
Published: July 2024

Background:

A surgical removal of the lower third molars can lead to a number of complications, and bone restoration typically takes a large amount of time. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the combination of beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), plasmogel, and platelet-rich plasma on postsurgery bone tissue restoration by means of X-ray.

Subjects and Methods:

A total of 200 patients who underwent a complicated removal of the lower third molars were nonrandomly assigned to the experimental (EXP, n = 100) or control (CTR, n = 100) group. In the EXP group patients, sockets were filled with a combination of β-TCP, plasmogel, and platelet-rich plasma. In the CTR group, sockets were not treated. X-ray examinations were performed 3, 6, and 9 months (T1, T2, and T3) postsurgery to define bone quality on the Misch scale. The Mann–Whitney U-test was used for between-group comparison.

Results:

Aside from the overconsumption of sugars (more frequently in CTR) and marginally significant sex ratio difference (more females in CTR), the groups were equivalent. Although both groups improved on bone density with time, the EXP group demonstrated greater restoration at T1 (U = 3431, P < 0.001), T2 (U = 3190, P < 0.001), and T3 (U = 3505, P < 0.001) related to a greater percentage of D2 (dense thick porous cortical bone on the ridge and a coarse underlying trabecular bone).

Conclusion:

A combination of β-TCP, plasmogel, and platelet-rich plasma, compared to no treatment, facilitates bone tissue restoration after complicated surgical removal of the lower third molars.

Authors: Lim Insook , Lee Hyunok
Published: July 2024

This study developed an educational program, the “Social-Venture Planning Course”, to tackle social issues and aimed to identify features of the social problem-solving processes of students and to scrutinize changes in their entrepreneurial competencies. The course was designed as a liberal arts class for undergraduate students. Various qualitative data were gathered throughout the program, and entrepreneurial competency was assessed before and after the course and then analyzed. The study revealed three key characteristics in the students' problem-solving processes. First, students demonstrated a nuanced understanding of social problems, recognizing their complexity beyond a simple dichotomy of solver and affected stakeholder. Second, they showed a practical and feasible approach to solutions, prioritizing real-world applicability over idealistic perfection. Third, students displayed creativity by adapting existing solutions and presenting their own unique approaches, showcasing their ability to think innovatively within practical constraints. The Social-Venture Planning Course led to significant improvements in students' entrepreneurial competencies. Notably, substantial enhancements in problem-solving competency and management knowledge indicated the course's effectiveness in these areas, while interpersonal skills and idea generation competency remained unchanging. The study's conclusions and discussions offered valuable insights for the effective implementation of the Social-Venture Planning Course, highlighting its potential to foster a wide range of entrepreneurial competencies.

Authors: Martínez Ochoa Hugo , Chávez Castorena Edson Sebastían
Published: July 2024

La presente muestra una investigación realizada con mujeres con residencia en zonas principales de incidencia de violencia sexual, misma que, desde una metodología cualitativa, a partir de entrevista semiestructurada y cartografía participativa, se analiza la construcción del miedo a partir de tres aspectos clave: sentimiento de inseguridad, preocupación por el delito y la percepción de riesgo; ello, enfocado en espacios tal como: hogar, calle, baldío, escuela y plazas comerciales. El objetivo es conocer la construcción del miedo a partir de la representación del espacio en relación con la violencia sexual (acoso sexual, abuso sexual y feminicidio). Los principales resultados son que tanto las participantes de norponiente como suroriente comparten sentimientos de inseguridad principalmente en la calle y baldío. La preocupación por el delito en las mujeres de suroriente es evitar espacios en la zona centro de la ciudad, condición no presente en las mujeres de norponiente y en materia de percepción de riesgo tanto la población de norponiente como suroriente, consideran riesgoso todos los lugares al acudir solas, excepto el hogar. Los hallazgos dan cuenta que existe una relación latente entre los espacios de mayor incidencia de violencia sexual y el miedo por parte de las dos poblaciones estudiadas.

Published: July 2024

Walkability is one part of realizing sustainable and livable city planning and design. The education area is one of the areas in urban areas that has a complex and dynamic level of problems. The attraction of the educational function in an area causes a high movement of people and goods so that in its development various commercial functions grow in it. The M.A Turungku road corridor is part of the education area in Buol City. In the corridor there are various educational functions starting from the elementary, secondary, to upper levels. The pull of the existence of the educational function in the M.A Turungku road corridor has resulted in the growth of commercial functions followed by its impact on the decline in environmental quality. The decline in the quality of the physical environment that occurs in the M.A Turungku road corridor has an impact on the comfort of walking activities, especially for students in the corridor. Therefore, in this study, the improvement of walkability in the M.A Turungku road corridor will be studied through a human-scale approach based on student activities. The research approach uses a rationalistic approach with data collection techniques through systematic observation. The results of this study show that the comfort level of human sensing when walking on the M.A Turungku road corridor gets an uncomfortable value. Meanwhile, in the results of the analysis of pedestrian movements and behavior, during the day in segment 2 of the M.A Turungku road corridor, outdoor activities occur very dynamically where main activities, additional activities, and follow-up activities of pedestrians are formed.
Outcome of Severe Acute Malnutrition in Children Aged 6-59 Months Before and After the Institution of the Malnutrition Treatment Centre in the Regional Hospital Limbe, Southwest Region of Cameroon
Authors: Monono Naiza
Published: July 2024

Background: Malnutrition occurs when nutrient and energy intake do not meet, or exceed an individual’s requirements to maintain growth, immunity, and organ function. In 2020, among children 0-59 months worldwide, 21.3% (144 million) were stunted and 6.9% (47 million) were wasted. The Malnutrition Treatment Centre’s (MTC) establishment in the Regional Hospital Limbe in 2019 brought major changes in management such as free and continuous supply of therapeutic food and basic drugs, the expertise of a nutritionist and closer follow up of patients after discharge. The aim of this research was to evaluate the outcome of children with severe acute malnutrition aged 6-59 months treated at the MTC differed from those treated before the MTC’s creation.

Methodology: An analytic cross sectional retrospective study was conducted from February to March 2022. The study period was from March 2016 to February 2019 (before the MTC) and March 2019 to February 2022 (after the MTC). A predesigned data extraction form was used to obtain sociodemographic data of the children and their parents, clinical findings on admission and hospital outcome. The data was entered into CDC Epi info 2.4 and analysed using SPSS. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: Out of 129 files included in the study, 35 were pre-MTC and 94 after its creation. The hospital prevalence of SAM increased from 4% to 7% after the MTC’s creation. The mean MUAC (mid-upper arm circumference) was 11.1 ± 0.98 cm. Marasmus was the most common form of SAM (90.7%). The most common admission symptoms were fever (74.4%), diarrhoea (47.2%) and vomiting (32.6%). The most common comorbidities were malaria (29.5%), gastrointestinal infection (20.9%), sepsis (18.6%) and pulmonary infection (14%). There was an increase in the recovery rate (from 71.4% to 76.6%) and the rate of weight gain (from 3.5 g/kg/day to 8.7 g/kg/day). There was also a reduction in the death rate (from 14.3% to 9.6%) and length of in-hospital admission (from 10.24 ±5.4 days to 7.3 ±3.6 days)

Conclusion: The MTC led to an increase in the influx of patients with SAM at the RHL, marasmus was the most common form of SAM. There was an increase in the rate of weight gain, a decreased mortality rate and decreased length of hospital stay, thus revealing the pertinent relevance of the MTC in the management of SAM.

Introdução: O lipoblastoma é um tumor raro, benigno e encapsulado que surge da gordura branca embrionária, que ocorre predominantemente em bebês e crianças. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Este estudo utilizou uma revisão sistemática para investigar “Lipoblastoma Benigno de Membro Superior”. A pesquisa foi conduzida de acordo com as diretrizes PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), assegurando uma abordagem rigorosa e padronizada. Foram realizadas buscas detalhadas nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo, e Google Scholar, abrangendo publicações entre 2000 e 2023. Resultados e discussão: A partir de evidências recentes, entende-se que os exames radiológicos possuem limitações no diagnóstico e consequentemente no tratamento, podendo ser aplicada a punção aspirativa com agulha fina (PAAF) eventualmente, porém o diagnóstico definitivo é realizado através do exame histopatológico. Uma vez que ocorra crescimento progressivo e infiltrativo, o tratamento de escolha será a excisão cirúrgica completa, tendo em vista não trazer maior comprometimento funcional. Considerações finais: O reconhecimento precoce e o manejo adequado da hidrocefalia pós-craniotomia descompressiva são essenciais para minimizar o impacto negativo sobre os desfechos clínicos e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Estratégias de prevenção e tratamento devem ser individualizadas, levando em consideração os fatores de risco específicos de cada paciente e as características da lesão neurológica subjacente.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: A Arterite de Takayasu (AT) é uma doença idiopática, inflamatória, sistêmica e crônica que afeta grandes vasos como a aorta e seus principais ramos, podendo ter seus sintomas exacerbados pela gestação. Objetivo: O presente artigo tem por objetivo uma revisão de literatura dos casos de AT em gestantes, analisando suas possíveis complicações e desfechos.  Materiais / Sujeitos e Métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão foram consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados na Scielo, Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology e BVS, entre um período mais recente. Resultados e discussão: Com a análise e interpretação de dados, é possível identificar que a AT acomete com maior frequência mulheres, principalmente em idade fértil. E que pacientes portadoras desta patologia têm riscos significativamente maiores de desenvolver complicações hipertensivas durante a gestação. Considerações finais: uma maior quantidade de pesquisas e estudos clínicos são urgentemente necessários para enriquecer e aprofundar significativamente o conhecimento já adquirido em relação à arterite de Takayasu durante o período gestacional, na tentativa de estabelecer e aprimorar consideravelmente as estratégias terapêuticas atualmente disponíveis e, quiçá, desenvolver novas abordagens que possam efetivamente revolucionar o âmbito do tratamento dessa complexa patologia.

This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of emodin on the physiological responses and antioxidant gene expression of Wuchang bream infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. The experimental diets were prepared with supplementing 0, 30, 100 and 150 mg kg−1 emodin to basal (control) diet respectively, and fed to fish with initial weight of 50.4 ± 2.35 g. All ﬁsh were divided into five experimental groups: uninfected fish fed with basal control diet (negative control, NC), infected fish fed with the diet supplemented with 0 (positive control group, PC), 30, 100, and 150 mg kg-1 emodin. The fish were reared for 14 days, sampled at different time points and then analyzed. The results showed that the physiological responses and related antioxidant gene expression of infected Wuchang bream were significantly influenced by the dosage of added emodin and the feeding duration (P < 0.05). Comparing to the positive control group, emodin could inhibit the levels of cortisol (COR), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) in infected Wuchang bream, with hormone levels reaching equilibrium in the shortest time at 30 and 100 mg kg-1 emodin supplementation. Meanwhile, emodin significantly affected alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity, glucose (Glu) and triglyceride (TG) contents, and related antioxidant gene expression in infected Wuchang bream (P < 0.05), with the best effect observed at 100 mg kg-1 emodin supplementation in the diet. In conclusion, the supplementation of 100 mg/kg emodin to diet can enhance the resistance of Wuchang bream to A. hydrophila infection via promoting physiological metabolism and antioxidant capacity.
Modelos Bayesianos probabilísticos no melhoramento do feijoeiro
Authors:   , Chagas José Tiago Barroso
Published: July 2024

A seleção de progênies avaliadas em diferentes safras, locais e anos é um desafio para os melhoristas em programas de melhoramento de plantas. Isto porque, em geral, condições ambientais diversas podem promover a expressão diferencial dos genes envolvidos no controle dos caracteres de interesse, resultando na interação genótipos x ambientes (G×A). Explorar a interação (G×A) potencializa a seleção das progênies de desempenho mais estáveis ao longo dos ambientes. Tem se mostrado que os modelos bayesianos probabilísticos consideram os efeitos da interação G×A para computar o risco de recomendar um dado candidato à seleção. Assim, o objetivo com este trabalho foi utilizar um índice baseado em modelos bayesianos probabilísticos na seleção de famílias de feijoeiro, visando o melhoramento do feijão carioca. Para isto, 380 famílias de feijoeiro oriundas do terceiro ciclo de seleção recorrente do programa de melhoramento de feijão carioca da UFV foram avaliadas em quatro safras quanto às características produtividade de grãos (PROD), aspecto comercial de grãos (ACG) e arquitetura da planta (ARQ). O índice de seleção Bayesiano multiambientes utilizou a probabilidade da performance superior com a intensidade de seleção de 20% na identificação das famílias superiores. Dez famílias foram selecionadas, apresentando maior probabilidade de estarem dentre os candidatos destaques em todos os ambientes para as características PROD, ACG e ARQ de forma simultânea, quando comparadas às testemunhas de referência BRSMG Zape, BRSMG Madrepérola e BRS Pérola para as características PROD, ACG e ARQ, respectivamente. O índice de seleção se mostrou promissor na seleção de famílias em programa de melhoramento de feijão.

Estudo do comportamento estrutural de vigas mistas tipo crestbeam com diferentes graus de conexão
Authors:   , Altoé João Vitor Fioresi
Published: July 2024

Nos elementos mistos de aço e concreto, o comportamento misto é obtido quando os dois materiais trabalham solidários, na maioria dos casos por meio de uma ligação mecânica, proporcionada por conectores de cisalhamento. A busca por conectores com melhor desempenho estrutural para pontes levou ao desenvolvimento de uma categoria de conectores denominada composite dowels, ou conectores de pinos mistos, que ainda permanecem como objeto de estudo. Este trabalho consiste em uma investigação sobre uma aplicação do Crestbond, um conector de pinos mistos desenvolvido no Brasil, numa tipologia de vigas mistas denominada Crestbeam, desenvolvida na UFV. A Crestbeam é uma viga mista com uma seção transversal monossimétrica em que a mesa de concreto armado é solidarizada a um perfil de aço T invertido que possui um conector Crestbond integrado à alma. Neste trabalho, foi realizada uma investigação do estado da arte dos composite dowels e uma análise numérica do comportamento estrutural das vigas Crestbeam. São descritos a evolução das geometrias, o comportamento estrutural, modelos mecânicos para dimensionamento nos estados limites último e de fadiga e indicações de novas investigações e perspectivas futuras. A análise numérica permitiu elucidar algumas questões relacionadas à influência de alguns parâmetros no desempenho estrutural da conexão com Crestbond e da própria Crestbeam. O modelo teórico proposto, para predição do comportamento da Crestbeam, apresentou boa correlação com o modelo numérico calibrado com resultados experimentais, com coeficiente de variação da ordem de 3%, evidenciando sua aplicabilidade para o projeto de vigas mistas Crestbeam sob carregamento estático.
