La publicité nostalgique d’elle-même. Du discours à l’objet de la consommation
Authors: Fantin Emmanuelle
Published: February 2020

Cet article propose d’étudier la manière dont des publicités contemporaines miment, à travers un jeu d’autoréférences, l’esthétique des publicités des années 50 et 60, pour déployer l’imaginaire d’un « bon vieux temps » des techniques commerciales. Ce phénomène réflexif repose sur la reconstruction fantasmée d’une continuité, sur l’illusion d’une transmission immanente du passé au présent.  La pratique de la nostalgie réflexive par la publicité est ensuite envisagée comme un métadiscours, qui prétend écrire sa propre histoire et la légitimer dans le même mouvement, à travers notamment l’édification performative d’un supposé « âge d’or » de la publicité. Cet usage réflexif de la nostalgie permet également d’euphémiser l’objectif commercial de toute publicité : en produisant ces virtuosités mémorielles, la publicité n’est plus seulement discours sur la consommation, mais elle se donne elle-même à consommer en tant qu’objet-simulacre du passé.
Liminalité du discours sur le vin
Authors: Parizot Anne , Verdier Benoît
Published: February 2020

Le vin, nectar des dieux et produit de l’homme, représente à lui seul un lexique riche que glossaires, dictionnaires et autres supports n’hésitent pas à diffuser, en s’adressant aux experts, amateurs et novices. La description visuelle, olfactive et gustative d’un vin puise son originalité dans l’emprunt à la figure humaine ou à ses attributs tout en conservant une part de sacré. S’appuyant sur un corpus spécifique, cet article analyse les occurrences anthropomorphiques pour montrer comment ce lexique convoque singulièrement la notion de liminalité permettant par la construction successive de formes singulières, propres à chacun, de dessiner une « épaisseur » au vin, répondant à des situations de consommation et de dégustation. Cette approche s’inscrit dans une démarche communicationnelle fondée sur les sciences de l’information et de la communication afin de définir un sensible qui prend forme sous le joug discursif de la dégustation.
Le vin : des mots pour le "boire" et le "dire" en Beaujolais
Authors: Tavilla Valériane , Bonescu Mihaela , Brouard Joëlle , Sutan Angela
Published: February 2020

Le discours œnologique est propice à la transcription d'expériences dans une configuration ritualisée. Les mots y trouvent un sujet fertile car des consommateurs et des professionnels partagent leurs goûts et leurs visions du vin, via des espaces publics discursifs complémentaires : d'abord l'espace convivial (table, bistrot…), puis l'espace virtuel des forums, et celui des professionnels de la filière. L'article propose une exploration discursive du Beaujolais, objet de discours promotionnels et expérientiels sur des sites internet professionnels et des forums de consommateurs-amateurs de vin en ligne. L'objectif est d'explorer les dimensions discursives de ces espaces publics distincts et d'étudier leur mise en tension et leurs interactions.
Jeu vidéo d’apprentissage des langues en milieu scolaire : ce qu’en disent les élèves
Authors: Schmoll Laurence
Published: February 2020

Les relations entre le jeu et le milieu scolaire sont tissés de tensions et d’incompréhensions, alors même qu’un certain nombre de rapprochements sont possibles, notamment dans le domaine de l’apprentissage des langues. Cet article se propose d’étudier le discours d’élèves de seconde quant aux notions de jeu et de jeu vidéo d’apprentissage suite à leur immersion dans un dispositif ludoéduquant pour l’apprentissage de l’allemand. Nous analyserons ainsi en quoi le dispositif proposé, ainsi que le contexte scolaire, impactent les représentations des élèves et si, de ce fait, son emploi est pertinent au regard des premiers concernés.
L’environnement et ses représentations : une mise en scène en évolution.
Authors: ALLIK Amel
Published: February 2020

Cet article porte sur l’étude de la circulation des discours sur l’environnement dans les prises de parole de trois acteurs institutionnels : le gouvernement français, l’Union européenne et l’ONU. L’analyse diachronique des procédés de mise en scène des questions environnementales dans ces discours a fait ressortir des tendances dans l’évolution des procédés discursifs et des représentations, qui sont communes aux trois émetteurs. Une vision pragmatique, programmatique, engagée et tournée vers l’action fait son apparition à partir du début du millénaire et témoigne d’une meilleure connaissance des problématiques environnementales et d’une posture moins tournée vers le constat des problèmes que vers la définition de solutions.

Published: February 2020

Improved management of interrupted aortic arch has increased long-term survival rates. Longer life expectancies in neonates and children surgically treated for interrupted aortic arch may necessitate complex reinterventions when sequelae develop in adulthood. We report the case of a 24-year-old man who had undergone initial repair of interrupted aortic arch type B at one week and reintervention at 6 years of age. He presented with a 5.5 × 9-cm pseudoaneurysm of the proximal descending thoracic aorta. He underwent surgical replacement of his distal aortic arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta, with a bypass to his left subclavian artery. In addition to our patient's case, we discuss considerations in treating recipients of early interrupted aortic arch repairs as they live longer and undergo multiple reinterventions.

Published: February 2020

The 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) test is a useful prognostic tool in chronic heart failure. Its usefulness after percutaneous coronary intervention is unknown.

In a prospective observational study, patients underwent a 6MWD test within 2 weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (death, acute coronary syndrome, and heart failure admission) at one year. Receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve were used to determine the 6MWD test's predictive power, and the Youden index was used to measure its effectiveness.

A total of 212 patients were enrolled (98% men; mean age, 65 ± 9 yr). Major comorbidities were hypertension in 187 patients (88%), dyslipidemia in 186 (88%), and diabetes mellitus in 95 (45%). Among the 176 patients (83%) who completed the 6MWD test, the incidence of MACE at one year was 22% (acute coronary syndrome in 17%; heart failure admission in 4%; and death in 3%). The area under the curve for MACE was 0.59, and 6MWD was shorter for patients with MACE than for those without (290 vs 326 m; P=0.03). For 39 patients with previous heart failure who completed the 6MWD test, the area under the curve was 0.64 for MACE and 0.78 for heart failure admission.

The 6MWD test predicted reasonably well the incidence of MACE one year after percutaneous coronary intervention. In a subgroup of patients with previous heart failure, it fared even better in predicting heart failure admission. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Published: February 2020

The number of procedures for upgrading implantable devices for cardiac resynchronization therapy has increased considerably during the last decade. A major challenge that operators face in these circumstances is occlusion of the access vein. We have modified a pull-through method to overcome this obstacle.

Six consecutive patients with occluded access veins and well-developed collateral networks underwent a procedure in which the occluded vein was recanalized by snaring the existing atrial lead via transfemoral access. Upgrading the device was successful in all patients; none had intraprocedural complications. Our experience shows that our modified pull-through technique may be a feasible alternative for upgrading cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with venous occlusion.

Published: February 2020

A study was conducted to evaluate the performance of laminated composite made from phenolic resin-treated wood and bamboo strips. Sesenduk (Endospermum diadenum) wood and Sematan bamboo (Gigantochloa scortechinii) strips were impregnated using 30% phenol formaldehyde (PF)
resin and assembled in different configurations and orientations prior to compreg nation. The assembled samples were then compressed in a hot press at 150 ± 2 °C for 60 minutes. Dimensional stability, hardness, bending, shear and compression strength of the products were
assessed. The results revealed that the properties of the compreg laminates were significantly affected by the treatment variables. Laminated compreg wood had inferior mechanical properties compared to laminated compreg bamboo and bamboo/wood hybrid. However, the dimensional
stability of laminated compreg wood is the best among the three types of laminates. Samples assembled parallelly possessed better properties. Mixed application of wood and bamboo had imparted respective advantages to the compreg laminates.
Molecular dynamics simulation of sI methane hydrate under compression and tension
Authors: Wang Qiang , Tang Qizhong , Tian Sen
Published: February 2020

Molecular dynamics (MD) analysis of methane hydrate is important for the application of methane hydrate technology. This study investigated the microstructure changes of sI methane hydrate and the laws of stress–strain evolution under the condition of compression and tension by using MD simulation. This study further explored the mechanical property and stability of sI methane hydrate under different stress states. Results showed that tensile and compressive failures produced an obvious size effect under a certain condition. At low temperature and high pressure, most of the clathrate hydrate maintained a stable structure in the tensile fracture process, during which only a small amount of unstable methane broke the structure, thereby, presenting a free-motion state. The methane hydrate cracked when the system reached the maximum stress in the loading process, in which the maximum compressive stress is larger than the tensile stress under the same experimental condition. This study provides a basis for understanding the microscopic stress characteristics of methane hydrate.
Questions of Space in Contemporary Hollywood Cinema
Authors: Trinder Stephen
Published: February 2020

Spatial fixing was an integral part of maintaining imperial power structures throughout the colonial period, and like other discourses, it later found itself reproduced in cinema. As such, the physical and mental use of space has become key to the dissemination of ideological messages in many films. Confronting this tendency, this study applies theories of postcolonialism to selected examples of contemporary Hollywood film to examine how far it reconstructs traditional binaries of space. This investigation finds that despite attempts to disseminate more culturally sensitive and globally-minded portrayals of the Other, space remains particularly problematic. It also remains vital to storytelling narratives of race, gender, class and society in consideration of the film cases analysed in this study. While Fanonian notions of space continue to permeate cinema—with Total Recall and Avatar in particular drawing upon stereotypical motifs, it is possible to observe developments upon these discourses. Elysium and District 9 exemplify this, with each feature employing space to address increased questioning of US cultural superiority since the failed Iraq and Afghanistan invasions and the 2008 global economic crash.
Co-design with Children: Using Participatory Design for Design Thinking and Social and Emotional Learning
Authors: Paracha Samiullah , Hall Lynne , Clawson Kathy , Mitsche Nicole , Jamil Fatima
Published: February 2020

This paper discusses leveraging design thinking techniques for involving children in serious game design in Japanese elementary schools. Our action research project approach accomplished two different goals: (1) to inculcate design thinking in pupils, and (2) to sensitize children on bullying victimization. Our approach uses a range of participatory design methods to distil design ideas from children and to support their design thinking aiming to boost children’s creative confidence and develop social and emotional skills. Key findings from our project are: (1) children made valuable design contributions including realistic bullying scenarios, language content, user interface design, storyline progression, character profiles, coping strategies etc., and (2) participatory design and design thinking stimulated ethical reasoning, reflection and empathy in children on bullying victimization. Our approach is unique in the current design thinking landscape, because it moves from designing “thing” (object) to designing “think” (bullying sensitization). Future research should focus on highlighting ways how participatory design and design thinking enrich and complement each other. The significance of our paper stems from the simple standpoint that those participating in a design should gain from participating in the design process. Takeaways for practitioners are: (1) building relationships with stakeholders, especially children, (2) empathy and user research techniques, (2) translating field data into usable insights, (3) idea-generation and rapid concept development, (4) product co-prototyping, (5) user engagement and co-creation, (6) multiple perspectives on effective communication.
Undiagnosed pheochromocytoma presenting as a pancreatic tumor: A case report
Authors: Legocka Malgorzata Emilia , Toutounchi Sadegh , Pogorzelski Ryszard , Krajewska Ewa , Celejewski Krzysztof , Galazka Zbigniew
Published: February 2020

Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-producing tumor of the adrenal gland. Patients with known pheochromocytoma undergoing surgery require preoperative treatment with alpha-blockers to reduce the risk of intraoperative complications related to catecholamine release. If undiagnosed, pheochromocytoma can lead to life-threatening surgical complications. We report the case of a patient with a suspected solid pseudopapillary neoplasm in the pancreatic tail, for whom pancreatoduodenectomy was scheduled. However, shortly after abdominal incision, hypertensive crisis developed and was followed by severe hypotension requiring intravenous vasopressors, which prompted discontinuation of the operation. Further diagnostic evaluation revealed marked elevations in urinary excretion of methylated catecholamines and suggested that the tumor was in fact a pheochromocytoma extending from the left adrenal gland. After preoperative treatment with doxazosin, the patient underwent lateral transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy, with no major complications and an uneventful postoperative course. The pathological report confirmed a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Due to the potential for life-threatening surgical complications in patients with pheochromocytoma not treated preoperatively with alpha-blockers, this tumor type should be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal tumors of unknown origin.
Ultralow power demand in fluorescence nanoscopy with digitally enhanced stimulated emission depletion

Published: February 2020

Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy breaks the optical diffraction barrier and has become a powerful tool for biological study. However, its application for in vivo study is limited because of its high demand for depletion power. Here, we propose digitally enhanced STED (DE-STED) as a method for reducing the depletion power that is required for STED superresolution imaging. A donut image is the key in this approach, which is composed of the depleted photons by STED laser and represents the intensity difference between confocal and STED images from the same imaging position. The depletion efficiency is digitally enhanced by multiplying the intensity of the donut image with a factor greater than 1, and then the photons from the periphery of the diffraction-limited spot are fully depleted by subtracting the enhanced donut image from the original confocal image. Finally, DE-STED achieves a resolution of ~λ/8 in biological samples with a depletion power that is an order of magnitude lower than that in traditional STED imaging. Furthermore, the proposed method helps to relax the restrictions on the fluorophore because of its low phototoxicity and photobleaching.

Bottollier, V, Coulmy, N, Le Quellec, L, and Prioux, J. Energy demands in well-trained alpine ski racers during different duration of slalom and giant slalom runs. J Strength Cond Res 34(8): 2156–2164, 2020—The purpose of this study was to investigate the energy demands of different duration slalom (SL) and giant slalom (GS) events in well-trained alpine ski racers. Eight well-trained alpine ski racers (age: 18.2 ± 0.8 years; stature: 1.72 ± 0.10 m; body mass: 65.8 ± 12.0 kg) performed an incremental laboratory test on cycle ergometer and 4 standardized alpine ski runs: short (ST) and long (LG) versions of SL and GS (SLST, SLLG, GSST, and GSLG). Oxygen uptake (V̇o
2) and heart rate (HR) were recorded continuously in all conditions. Blood lactate ([La]) was determined immediately before run and 3 and 5 minutes after run ([La]peak). The contribution of aerobic, glycolytic, and phosphagen energy systems was estimated. The aerobic system was the primary energy system involved in GSST (43.9 ± 5.7%) and GSLG (48.5 ± 2.5%). No significant difference in the contribution of aerobic and glycolytic systems was observed in SLST and SLLG. [La]peak was higher in SLLG (11.10 ± 2.41 mmol·L−1) than in GSST (8.01 ± 2.01 mmol·L−1). There was no difference in oxygen uptake peak between GSST and GSLG. Energetic training goals should focus on the improvement of both aerobic, glycolytic, and phosphagen systems for alpine ski racers who perform SL and GS. Giant slalom specialists might benefit from emphasizing the improvement of the aerobic system, without neglecting other systems.

Sakamoto, A, Naito, H, and Chow, CM. Hyperventilation-aided recovery for extra repetitions on bench press and leg press. J Strength Cond Res 34(5): 1274–1284, 2020—Hyperventilation (HV)-induced alkalosis, an ergogenic strategy, improved repeated pedaling sprint performance through enhanced H+ removal. However, it did not confer beneficial effects on other forms of exercises. This study investigated the benefits of HV-aided recovery on lifting repetitions and joint velocity during resistance training involving multiple joints and both concentric and eccentric contractions. Eleven power-trained men (mean ± SD age: 22.5 ± 4.3 years, training experience: 8.3 ± 3.6 years) performed 6 sets each of bench press and leg press at 80% 1 repetition maximum. Each set was continued until failure, with a 5-minute recovery between sets. In protocol A, HV was implemented for 30 seconds before the first, third, and fifth sets of each exercise (HV-aided recovery), whereas spontaneous breathing continued throughout the recovery before the second, fourth, and sixth sets (control recovery). In protocol B, the order of the HV and control recoveries was reversed. For both protocols, reductions in repetitions (range: −4.7% to −22.5%) and velocity (range: −23.1% to −37.7%) were consistently observed after control recovery (p < 0.05), whereas HV-aided recovery resulted in increased repetitions (range: +21.3% to +55.7%) and velocity (range: +6.3% to +15.3%) (p < 0.05) or no reductions in these measures from the previous set. The total repetitions performed across 6 sets (protocols A and B combined) were greater after the HV-aided than control recovery (p ≤ 0.001) in bench press (44 ± 10 vs. 36 ± 10 reps, increased by 27.1 ± 24.1%) and leg press (64 ± 9 vs. 50 ± 15 reps, increased by 35.2 ± 29.5%). Hyperventilation-aided recovery may boost the effectiveness of resistance training through increased training volume and lifting velocity.
Privacy-Preserving Data Mining for Smart Manufacturing
Authors: Hu Qianyu , Chen Ruimin , Yang Hui , Kumara Soundar
Published: February 2020

Internet of Things (IoT) and data mining techniques have laid the foundation for the next generation of smart and secure manufacturing systems where big data are leveraged to extract useful information about the manufacturing processes and further help optimize decisions. The threat of data breach exists especially for nonpersonal, yet sensitive data, which are pertinent to every aspect of manufacturing. Data breach and privacy leakages can significantly impede the manufacturer’s business and lead to damaging a company’s reputation. With a comprehensive case study in the manufacturing setting, we show that adversaries can utilize accessible shop floor predictive models and other available background information to make inferences about sensitive attributes that were used as inputs to the original model and use that information for their own purposes. From this view, this article presents a privacy-preserving data mining framework to build a smart and secure manufacturing system. First, we introduce differential privacy (DP), an emerging approach to preserve the individual’s privacy in the data mining process. Second, we present a privacy-preserving system where DP mechanisms and queries are enforced to obtain differentially private results. Third, we propose to optimize the selection of DP mechanisms and privacy parameters by balancing the model utility and the robustness to attack. Further, we evaluate and validate the proposed privacy-preserving data mining framework with a real-world case study on the modeling of cutting power consumption in computer numerical control turning processes. Experimental results show that the performance gain, i.e., the trade-off between model utility and the robustness to attack, is improved from the nonprivate model by 5.6, 9.4, and 13.1 % for privacy-preserving Laplace, Gaussian, and sensitive mechanisms, respectively. This article is among the first to investigate and present a privacy-preserving data mining framework for smart manufacturing. The proposed methodology shows great potential to be generally applicable in industry for data-enabled smart and sustainable manufacturing.

Aspects of traditional Tiv naming practices
Authors: Mensah Eyo , Rowan Kirsty , Tiav Akase , Ishima Jighjigh
Published: February 2020

Naming in the African cultural context serves both referential and connotative functions as a unique means of identity construction which contains important cultural meaning and metaphysical presuppositions. Among the Tiv people of Benue State, North-central Nigeria, personal names reflect social relations and reveal major insights into their history, philosophy, language, spirituality and worldview. Naming practices in Tiv are indicative of the community’s social existence and redefine the essence of its being. This article explores the interaction of the Tiv people naming system with their sociocultural experience and physical environment. We investigate how naming intersects with social class distinction (wealth vs. poverty), emotions, occupations and topography, and examine their sources, social categorization and socio-onomastic significance. This study is theoretically rooted in Goddard’s (2006) ethnopragmatic paradigm which examines the locally relevant construction of cultural and contextual meanings in the interpretation of language. Data for the study were sourced from two Tiv communities of Gboko and Makurdi in Benue State, Nigeria through participant observations, personal interviews and conversations with name-bearers, -givers and -users. We conclude that Tiv personal names reflect the sociocultural environment and provide prominent sites for the creative expression of the Tiv social universe and lived cultural experiences.

In a range of eastern and southern African language communities, stretching from Ethiopia to the Cape, married women are enjoined to avoid the names of members of their husband's family as well as (near-)homophones of those names, and to replace tabooed vocabulary with substitute words. Although in-law name avoidance is a global phenomenon, the daughter-in-law speech registers thus constituted are unusual in their linguistic elaboration: they involve avoidance not only of names and true homophones of names but also an array of words whose only relation to tabooed names is phonological similarity. We provide an overview of the distribution and convergent social and linguistic characteristics of these registers and then examine one register more closely, namely, that of Datooga of Tanzania. To tease apart the layers of causality that converge upon this particular sociolinguistic pattern, we consider archaeological, ethnological, sociolinguistic and genetic lines of evidence. We propose that any partial diffusion of in-law avoidance practices has been complemented by a complex of sociocultural factors motivating the emergence of this pattern at different times and places across the African continent. These factors include pastoralism, patrilineal descent ideologies and norms of patrilocal postmarital residence paired with cattle-based bridewealth exchange.

OBJECTIVES The number of breast cancer survivors throughout the world has increased. Breast cancer survivors need to know how to exercise to improve their clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to find the effects of an evidence-based combined exercise intervention on the fitness levels of breast cancer survivors.METHODS A total of 38 female breast cancer survivors were randomly assigned to an exercise group (n=19) or a control group who did usual care (n=19). Subjects in the exercise group participated eight weeks of moderate intensity aerobic exercise and bodyweight strength exercise three times per week. Weight, body mass index (BMI), cardiorespiratory fitness, handgrip strength, and flexibility were measured to assess the effects of the exercise intervention.RESULTS Women who completed the exercise intervention had decreased weight and BMI and increased cardiorespiratory fitness, handgrip strength, and flexibility.CONCLUSIONS Breast cancer survivors had improved health outcomes. A combined exercise intervention of moderate intensity three times per week for eight weeks can help breast cancer survivors improve their health. Participating in aerobic exercise and bodyweight strength exercise, which provide dynamic movements and use large muscle groups with no equipment, can help increase physical fitness levels of breast cancer survivors.

The obesogenic environment stimulates an inadequate diet by hampering healthy choices. This cross-sectional study evaluated the association between the local food environment and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in a representative sample population of adolescents living in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, using multilevel logistic regression models. Among the adolescents, 29.6% were overweight/obese. There were no significant differences between food environment and adolescents’ weight status. However, the presence of fast food restaurants near their home increased the chances of being overweight or obese (OR = 2.53; 95%CI: 1.02-6.27). Results suggest the need to intensify food and nutrition policies, development of culinary skills, and the reduction in prices of healthy foods to facilitate access to these foods, so that adolescents have options in locations to socialize with friends and family.

O artigo analisa alguns dilemas relacionados à implementação da Convenção-Quadro para o Controle do Tabaco, destacando as dificuldades dos Estados participantes para adotar políticas públicas, com custo-benefício comprovado, que visam à redução da oferta e demanda do tabaco. Especificamente, o artigo examina a recomendação para a adoção de políticas de padronização das embalagens de cigarro, presente nas diretrizes para a implementação dos Artigos 11 e 13 da Convenção. Por meio da análise de casos, identificamos fatores políticos e jurídicos que dificultam a implementação da Convenção, incluindo a inibição regulatória produzida pela abertura de litígios por parte da indústria do tabaco, que utiliza-se das cláusulas de arbitragem investidor-Estado existentes em acordos bilaterais de investimentos. Conclui-se que, apesar dos custos impostos aos Estados e dos atrasos na adoção dessas políticas, no médio ou longo prazo, as decisões proferidas pelos tribunais arbitrais e pelo Órgão de Solução de Controvérsias da Organização Mundial do Comércio podem consolidar o entendimento acerca da legalidade e efetividade de políticas que adotam o referido modelo.

No Brasil, houve aumento no número de casos de microcefalia detectados em crianças nascidas no segundo semestre de 2015. Esses casos tiveram incremento significativo no país. Em 2014, foram 162 ocorrências, aumentando, em 2015, para 1.608. Essa condição está associada a vários acometimentos nas funções do organismo, levando a limitações no desenvolvimento infantil. Esta pesquisa objetiva analisar a dinâmica familiar de criança com a síndrome congênita associada ao Zika vírus (SCZV) no Município de Petrolina, Pernambuco. Como instrumento de coleta, utilizou-se a consulta ao prontuário e a realização de entrevista por meio de roteiro semiestruturado. Empregou-se abordagem quali-quantitativa, envolvendo a totalidade das mães e dos familiares que acompanhavam as crianças com a SCZV na unidade de saúde de referência, AME Amália Granja Alencar. Na análise dos discursos, aplicou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados relacionados à categoria mudanças da vida diária de familiares de criança com a SCZV foram agrupados em três subcategorias: atividade da vida diária (AVD); impactos financeiros e no trabalho associados à descoberta da SCZV; e mudança na relação conjugal após a descoberta da SCZV. A pesquisa demonstrou majoritariamente que o cuidado da criança com SCZV está centrado na figura feminina e que o diagnóstico traz significativas mudanças na dinâmica familiar, como maior dependência da criança ao cuidador, aumento de gastos financeiros e absenteísmo no trabalho.

ABSTRACT: Over several past centuries, specific plant populations have been carefully selected to filter strains with higher agronomic performance. Genetic variability is most essential for successful selection. The Passiflora genus offers great inter- and intra-specific variability. This study aimed to evaluate the physical characteristics of the genotypes of the elite passion fruit (Passiflora alata) for selection purpose. We considered the physical traits of fruit mass, longitudinal and equatorial diameters, peel thickness and color, and pulp mass and volume without and with seeds and pulp yield. The sources of variation for the analysis of variance included the fruits of 8 elite genotypes, with 3 replications, whose means were compared by Tukey’s test at 1% probability. We also performed multivariate analysis and correlation between these characteristics. Statistical differences were noted between elite genotypes for most of the tested traits. The elite 7 genotype presented with the highest seedless pulp yield in relation to the fruit and the largest fruit mass. Cluster analysis and graphic dispersion revealed a tendency for clustering of the elite genotypes based on their fruit shape. The tested population showed genetic variability, which allowed new selection cycles toward gaining pulp yield and fruit mass.

Abstract The essential oil (EO) composition of leaves of Campomanesia aurea was analyzed by GC-MS. The plant was collected in April (EOA) and October (EOO) in São Francisco de Assis/RS. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation in a modified Clevenger apparatus. The yields were 4.44% in April, and 6.15%, in October. Thirty-one compounds were identified in EOA, accounting for 96.87% of the total, and twenty-eight compounds were identified in EOO, accounting for 99.46% of the total. For EOA, the major identified monoterpene was p-cymene (8.33%) and the major identified sesquiterpene was α-cadinol (10.72%), while regarding EOO the major identified monoterpene was repeatedly Terpinolene (3.43%), whereas the major identified sesquiterpene was α-cadinol (12.79%). The antibacterial activity of the essential oil was evaluated against the three Listeria monocytogenes from the American Type Culture Collection (strains ATCC 7644, 19114 and 13932). The essential oil showed a MIC of 10 mg/mL against the strains ATCC 7644 and 19114, with bacteriostatic effect of 20 mg/mL and a MIC of 20 mg/mL for ATCC 13932. Regarding the antibiofilm activity, o EOO showed the best results with an inhibition of 90% in the sessile growth with an applied concentration of 4.0 mg/mL.

Abstract Entomopathogenic agents are viable and effective options due to their selective action against insects but benign effects on humans and the environment. The most promising entomopathogens include subspecies of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which are widely used for the biological control of insects, including mosquito vectors of human pathogens. The efficacy of B. thuringiensis toxicity has led to the search for new potentially toxic isolates in different regions of the world. Therefore, soil samples from the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga biomes of the state of Maranhão were evaluated for their potential larvicidal action against Aedes aegypti. The isolates with high toxicity to mosquito larvae, as detected by bioassays, were subjected to histological evaluation under a light microscope to identify the genes potentially responsible for the toxicity. Additionally, the toxic effects of these isolates on the intestinal epithelium were assessed. In the new B. thuringiensis isolates toxic to A. aegypti larvae, cry and cyt genes were amplified at different frequencies, with cry4, cyt1, cry32, cry10 and cry11 being the most frequent (33-55%) among those investigated. These genes encode specific proteins toxic to dipterans and may explain the severe morphological changes in the intestine of A. aegypti larvae caused by the toxins of the isolates.

ABSTRACT Among the parameters used in the biomass carbonization process, the heating rate is one of the most important. The objective of the present work was to assess the influence of different heating rates on the chemical composition of wood vinegar (WV) from two wood species. Dried disks of Eucalyptus grandis and Mimosa tenuiflora wood were used as raw material. Carbonization runs were carried out in a laboratory muffle furnace at three heating rates (0.7, 1.0 and 1.4 °C/min), with 10 runs at each heating rate, reaching 450 °C. Yields of charcoal, pyrolysis liquids and gases were determined for all carbonization conditions. Crude pyrolysis liquid from each wood species and each heating rate was bi-distilled, yielding purified WV samples. These samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic fraction was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to obtain qualitative and semi-quantitative data. Results showed that lower heating rates produce higher yields of charcoal, while higher heating rates lead to higher yields of pyrolysis liquids and gases. Totals of 57 and 42 chemical compounds were identified in the WV of Eucalyptus and Mimosa, respectively, divided into the following groups: alcohols, ketones, furans and pyrans, and phenolic compounds. In general, higher heating rates led to greater contents of furans and pyrans and lower concentrations of phenolic compounds.
