Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of breed, sex, age, and body weight on different electrocardiographic parameters in military working dogs (Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd). Materials and Methods: Electrocardiographic recordings (paper speed = 25 mm/s and calibration = 10 mm/mV) were performed to obtain all the standard bipolar limb leads (leads I, II, and III) and unipolar augmented limb leads (leads aVR, aVL, and aVF). A total of 16 Labrador Retrievers and 14 German Shepherds were restrained manually in the right lateral recumbency without any tranquilizer or anesthetic drug. Amplitude and duration of P, QRS, and T wave, PR and QT interval, mean electrical axis, and heart rate were measured in each recording. Results: There was no significant difference in electrocardiographic parameters across breed and sex. However, QRS duration tended to alter by breed (p<0.1) in Labrador Retrievers (0.04±0.005 s), which is lower than German Shepherds (0.05±0.005 s). PR interval was influenced by sex (p<0.1). PR interval was higher in females (0.13±0.005 s) than males (0.11±0.008 s). In addition, electrocardiographic values were not significantly affected by age and body weight, except that the amplitude of R wave was statistically affected by age (p<0.05). A correlation was found between the decrease in R wave amplitude and increase in age of dogs. Conclusion: Different electrocardiographic parameters were within the normal range. A significant effect of age was seen on amplitude of R wave. However, the effect of breed, sex, and body weight was not significant on different electrocardiographic parameters in Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd dogs.

Authors: Alzahrani Fatimah M. , Yeates Stephen G. , Webb Michelle , Alghamdi Hind Ali
Published: May 2020

In this study, the antibacterial activity of tannic acid/amphiphilic cationic polymer
(poly{2-[(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethyl-ammonium chloride}, PMADQUAT) and tannic acid
mixtures was examined on the strains of Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli CI2, E.
coli K12, Klebsiella pneumonia and P. aeruginosa) bacteria. Tannic acid exhibited the antibacterial
activity against all the studied bacterial strains. The ester linkage between glucose and gallic acid is
vital for the antimicrobial activity of tannic acid. Tannic acid inhibited the growth of S. aureus and E.
coli K12 (1 wt%) and reduced the growth of P. aeruginosa to 23%. Mixing cationic polymers having
different structures (statistical copolymer, homopolymer and diblock polymer) with tannic acid lead
to an increase in antibacterial activity of tannic acid and the stability and clarity of mixtures was
higher than that of a pure tannic acid solution. Tannic acid/diblock polymer and tannic
acid/homopolymer mixtures (0.1 wt%) were excellent for inhibiting the growth of planktonic E. coli
K12 bacteria, and a low concentration (0.0001 wt%) of tannic acid/diblock polymer reduced its growth
to 19%. By contrast, the tannic acid/statistical polymer mixture (0.0001 wt%) was excellent for inhibiting
the growth of Gram-positive S. aureus bacteria.

Published: May 2020

This study attempted the extraction of essential oils from the peels of pomelo (Citrus grandis L.)
grown in Ben Tre province, Vietnam through hydrodistillation method. In addition, the chemical
composition and physio-chemical properties of the essential oils were reported. The results showed
that the extraction yield of the extraction process achieved about 1.67%. The physico-chemical index
of essential oils is determined by specific gravity (0.8572 g/cm3), acid index (0.3556 mg KOH/g),
ester index (2.4216 mg KOH/g), and refractive index (1.476). The GC-MS analyses of the oil indicated
the component with highest content in the oil was α-limonene (96.491%), followed by α-pinene
(0.686%), β-pinene (0.248%), β-myrcene (1.644%), α-phellandrene (0.793%) and β-cis-ocimene
(0.138%). These results suggested that wastes from fruit peeling process can be converted into a new
material source with great potential for industrial use.

Authors: Belwal Savita , Kariveda Sujana , Ramagiri Saritha
Published: May 2020

Green chemistry was used to obtain nano-range sized titanium and zinc compounds from their
macro-sizes by using an aqueous extract of horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum). Ultraviolet-visible
(UV-vis) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometers were employed for characterizing
the nanoparticles of biosynthesized metal nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
was used to analyse the reduced nanoparticles of Ti and Zn metals. Microdilution was employed to
determine in vitro properties, such as effects of nanocomplex antimicrobials on Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (MTB) H37RV strain. MTB strains isolated from patients with multidrug-resistant
tuberculosis (MDR-TB) were resistant to first-line drugs. Novel synthesized nano-complexes exhibited
potential antituberculosis activities. Titanium nanocomplexes exhibited the highest minimal inhibitory
concentration (MIC) in comparison to zinc nanocomplex. In a cytotoxic study, an IC50 of 1000 μg/mL,
for both Ti and Zn nanocomplexes, was reported, and thus, these complexes were non-toxic when
compared to isoniazid.

Published: May 2020

In Turabah province of Saudi Arabia, infant formula and children′s food products were investigated to
determine the concentrations of essential trace elements, namely Mn, Ni, V and Si, and toxic trace
elements, namely Al, Ba, Pb, Cd, and As, present in them. Their daily intake amounts were calculated
and compared with provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI), which was calculated based on the
provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI), which was recommended by joint FAO/WHO. The results
obtained were found to be below the PTDI levels. Some samples exhibited a large amount of Al. The
PTWI of Si and V is not established; however, their concentrations were compared with those reported
in other studies. In some samples, a high concentration of Si was observed. The method employed for
evaluation was based on the limit of quantification (LOQ), limit of detection (LOD), and recovery
percent of 92.3–101.6%. Accuracy and precision were employed for evaluating the results

Authors: Shaikh Muktar , Khedkar Jayshree K.
Published: May 2020

Binding of N,N′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium (methyl viologen, MV2+) and its radical (MV+•) to novel p-sulfonatocalix[n]arene (CX[4]-S,) host has been investigated using the density functional theory (DFT). The hydrogen bonded interactions between α-, β- and -CH3 protons of methyl viologen with SO3 − groups of CX[4]-S render stability to their complexes. In the lowest energy structures, one of the methyl groups of MV2+ was partially penetrated within the cavity of CX[4]-S host owing to C-H···O interactions with upper rim of host while the remaining methyl group excluded from the cavity. The radical MV+• revealed qualitatively similar binding patterns to CX[4]-S host as that of MV2+. Moreover, interaction energy of methyl viologen dication was predicted to be larger than that of the corresponding radical cation.

Published: May 2020

A rapid, simple and sensitive spectrophotometric and RP-HPLC methods have been developed for the quantitative determination of cefotaxime-Na in both pure and dosage forms. The spectrophotometric method was based on diazotization of cefotaxime-Na and then coupling with 8-hydroxyquinoline in an alkaline medium. The resulting azo dye exhibited maximum absorption at 551 nm with a molar absorptivity of 0.597 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1. Beer′s law was obeyed over the range 10-700 μg/25 mL (i.e. 0.4-28.0 ppm) with an excellent determination coefficient (R2 = 0.9993). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.0194 and 0.3765 μg mL-1, respectively. The recoveries were obtained in the range 97.3-102.5% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was better than ± 1.56. The HPLC method has been developed for the determination of cefotaxime-Na. The analysis were carried out on a C18 column and a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer solution (0.024M KH2PO4 and 0.01M H3PO4) at pH 3.5 in the ratio of 60:40 (v:v), with a flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1 and UV detection at 258 nm. The proposed method showed good linearity (in a range of concentration 1.0-200 μg mL-1. The recovery percent and a relative standard deviations were found in the range 96 to 104.8% and ± 0.017 to ± 0.031%, respectively. Both methods were applied successfully to the assay of cefotaxime-Na in commercial injection preparations.

A new gradient elution mode HPLC method was developed and validated to detect and monitor the
novel impurity namely methyl ezitimibe in ezetimibe drug substances. Chromatographic detection and
analysis of methyl ezetimibe was performed on XBridge C18 column with mobile phase consisting of
0.02 M phosphate buffer (pH 5) and acetonitrile with 1 mL/min flow rate in gradient elution mode.
Methyl ezetimibe was detected and monitored at 248 nm. The calibration curve was linear over range
of 0.015 to 0.219% concentration. The limit of detection and quantification were computed as 0.005%
(signal to noise ratio 3.60) and 0.015% (signal to noise ratio 15.96), respectively. The precision was
0.97% (%RSD) and accuracy was 93.2 to 98.2% (recovery). The developed method was proved suitable
to detect and monitor methyl ezetimibe impurity in ezetimibe drug substances.

Published: May 2020

Carbon from black cumin seeds was modified with 10 and 20% sulfuric acid to obtain the activated
adsorbents. Pristine carbon from black cumin seeds, 10 and 20% H2SO4 activated carbon from black
cumin seeds were labelled CBC, ACBC-10 and ACBC-20, respectively. The adsorbents were
characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, TGA and BET. The adsorbents maximum trend for Cd(II) was
ACBC-10 > ACBC-20 > CBC. The maximum capacity trend for methylene blue dye was ACBC-20 >
ACBC-10 > CBC. The kinetic model best fitted pseudo second order for Cd(II) which gave r2 values
of 0.991-0.998. The methylene blue fitted pseudo first order model with r2 values ranging from
0.993-0.997. Pseudo first order suggested that the adsorption mechanism for methylene blue onto
adsorbents involved van der Waal forces of attraction. The equilibrium data fitted Langmuir isotherm
model for CBC, ACBC-10 and ACBC-20 with r2 of 0.994 to 0.998 for the removal of methylene blue
whilst the removal of Cd(II) followed Freundlich with r2 ranging from 0.992 to 0.997. This suggested
that the different adsorption processes were involved between the adsorbate and the adsorbents. Gibb′s
free energy (ΔGº) for Cd(II) and methylene blue onto CBC, ACBC-10 and ACBC-20 suggested that
the reaction was spontaneous. The adsorption of Cd(II) and methylene blue was endothermic, positive
values (ΔHº). This suggested that the enthalpy (ΔHº) had a weak interactive force process whose low
energy is associated with electrostatic attraction.

Aluminium sulfide (Al2S3) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by electrochemical method. Further, the synthesized nanoparticles were used as a photocatalyst for degradation of trichloroacetic acid, chloroacetic acid, acetic acid and degradation kinetics was studied by volumetric method using NaOH under various experimental conditions. The Al2S3 nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and SEM-EDAX. The study of UV-visible spectroscopy indicates that Al2S3 nanoparticles shows maximum intensity peak at 222 nm in the UV region and there is no absorption peak in the visible region, therefore the synthesized nanoparticles is active under UV light and band gap energy was found to be 3.07 eV, which was calculated using Tauc plot. The structure of Al2S3 was found to be tetragonal structure and average crystal size was found to be 25.76 nm, which was calculated using Debye-Scherrer′s formula. The SEM results showed that Al2S3 appears as nanoflakes with agglomerated. The presence of aluminium and sulfur was confirmed using EDAX spectra. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized Al2S3 nanoparticles was examined by taking three carboxylic acids by volumetric method. Taft LFER was tested, the isokinetic temperature β was calculated for oxidation of carboxylic acids. The antibacterial activity was investigated for synthesized nanoparticles by using Bacillus subtilis MTCC 2763 and Escherichia coli MTCC 40 of different bacteria.

Published: May 2020

Zirconium(II) and palladium(II) mixed ligand metal complexes were synthesized by using an equimolar
mixture of tetracycline (Tc) as primary ligand and salicylaldehyde as secondary ligand. The metal
complexes were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques like CHN analysis,
surface tension, pH, conductivity and melting point measurements. The spectroscopic characterization
technique includes IR, (1H & 13C) NMR, UV/visible and Mass spectrometry methods. The SEM
technique determines the surface morphology of the complexes. The thermal and kinetic stability of
the complexes was obtained from TGA/DTA curves from which the parameters like E*, ΔH*, ΔS* and
ΔG* have been calculated by using the Coats-Redfern equation. Molecular modeling gives a geometry
of the complex which was obtained from Chem 3D Pro. 12.0 software program. The metal complexes
of Zr-TcSal and Pd-TcSal have coordinated with tetrahedral and square planar geometry, respectively.
The antibacterial susceptibility study of the synthesized metal complexes was done by Kirby-Bauer

PPy/SnO2/MWCNT nanocomposite has been converted into a pellet-shaped sensor, and its ammonia
sensing studies were carried out by calculating the variation in the DC electrical conductivity at different
concentration of ammonia ranging from 10 to 1500 ppm. The sensing response of the sensor was
determined at 1500, 1000, 500, 200, 100 and 10 ppm and found to be 70.4, 66.1, 62.2, 55.4, 50.8 and
39.7%, respectively The sensor showed a complete reversibility at lower concentrations along with
excellent selectivity and stability. Finally, a sensing mechanism was also proposed involving polarons
(charge carriers) of polypyrrole and lone pairs of ammonia molecules

Published: May 2020

Biometric indices of Pomadasys jubelini from Obuama Creek, Rivers state, Nigeria were investigated using length frequency distributions (LFDs), length-weight relationships (LWRs), length-length relationships (LLRs), condition factors (allometric, KA, Fulton’s, KF and relative, KR). Specimens were captured in a stretch of the creek from March to September 2019. A total of 229 specimens were examined with the total length (TL) and weight (W) ranging from 8.7 to 50.4 cm and 8.7 to 834.5 g respectively. The standard length (SL) ranged from 5.3 to 46.8 cm, fork length (FL) was between 6.5 to 48.7 cm and the girth length (GL) varied from 4.7 to 38.7 cm. The relationships of weight-length showed a negative allometric growth pattern with a value of "b" of 2,666. Fulton's condition factor (KF) ranged from 0.10 to 5.45, with an average of 1.21±0.66 indicating perfect wellbeing for the species. The LLR's allometric coefficient ' b ' between TL vs. FL and TL vs. GL showed positive allometric growth, while SL vs. FL, SL vs. TL, SL vs. GL, and GL vs. TL showed negative allometric growth, although the values were close to 1. These findings also provided some new and updated information on some of the morphometric characters of Pomadasys jubelini in Obuama Creek that could be useful for fisheries management and fish species protection measures in the creek and adjacent habitats.

Sargassum is known to have potential ingredients, such as essential nutrients and minerals, which are important for agroindustry and the environment. This study aims to determine the proximate properties of Sargassum polycystum C.A. Agardh from Lange beach and the optimum extraction period arising the liquid product. The dried seaweed was extracted using 0.1% KOH at a constant temperature of 80°C for 120–600 mins. Furthermore, nutrients content, pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) of the afforded filtrate were quantified. As a result, the moisture, ash, fibre, carbohydrate, protein, and fat content were 7.16, 13.057, 20.33, 51.77, 6.12, and 1.57%, respectively. The value of pH, EC, and TDS ranged around 4.69–7.27, 0.013–0.078 dS.m-1, and 6.24–39.75 mg.L-1, respectively. The level of N, P, K, and organic C, were estimated around 0.30–0.81, 0.16–0.28, 0.15–0.20, and 0.32–0.80%, respectively.

Coral reef is an important underwater ecosystem supporting people’s lives in coastal areas. One of the communities depending on the coral reef ecosystem for its food, livelihood, shoreline protection, and recreation needs is a community in Tunda Island. This research aims to analyze and determine the health status of coral reef in the island using a survey method. It was conducted in July 2018 and July 2019. Underwater photography transects were established at two depth areas of ± 3-4 m (shallow water) and ± 10-11 m (reef slope). Analysis of the results of live coral cover was divided into eight categories of groups based on CPCe output series 4.1. The values of coral reef cover at first depth (± 3-4 m) were 64.86% (east side of the island), 55.76% (north toward east side), and 32.22% (west side). The values of coral reef cover at second depth (± 10-11 m) were 36.36%, 25.00%, and 23.63% on the north toward east, east, and central north sides of the island, respectively. In shallow waters of Tunda Island, the coral reef health is classified as moderate to good, mostly those located on the east and the north toward the east sides. At reef slope, the coral reef health is classified as damaged to poor, particularly those located on the south and the south toward the west sides. The difference in the health values implies that most corals occur in shallow waters while deep corals differ from those near the surface and are not safe from impacts of the activities in the coastal area of Tunda Island.
Davidson’s Wittgenstein
Authors: Hossein Khani Ali
Published: May 2020

Although the later Wittgenstein appears as one of the most influential figures in Davidson’s later works on meaning, it is not, for the most part, clear how Davidson interprets and employs Wittgenstein’s ideas. In this paper, I will argue that Davidson’s later works on meaning can be seen as mainly a manifestation of his attempt to accommodate the later Wittgenstein’s basic ideas about meaning and understanding, especially the requirement of drawing the seems right/is right distinction and the way this requirement must be met. These ideas, however, are interpreted by Davidson in his own way. I will then argue that Davidson even attempts to respect Wittgenstein’s quietism, provided that we understand this view in the way Davidson does. Having argued for that, I will finally investigate whether, for Davidson at least, his more theoretical and supposedly explanatory projects, such as that of constructing a formal theory of meaning and his use of the notion of triangulation, are in conflict with this Wittgensteinian quietist view.
Advances in the Production of Minor Ginsenosides Using Microorganisms and Their Enzymes
Authors: Geraldi Almando
Published: May 2020

Minor ginsenodes are of great interest due to their diverse pharmacological activities such as their anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, immunomodulator, and anti-inflammatory effects. The miniscule amount of minor ginsenosides in ginseng plants has driven the development of their mass production methods. Among the various production methods for minor ginsenosides, the utilization of microorganisms and their enzymes are considered as highly specific, safe, and environmentally friendly. In this review, various minor ginsenosides production strategies, namely utilizing microorganisms and recombinant microbial enzymes, for biotransforming major ginsenosides into minor ginsenoside, as well as constructing synthetic minor ginsenosides production pathways in yeast cell factories, are described and discussed. Furthermore, the present challenges and future research direction for producing minor ginsenosides using those approaches are discussed.

Published: May 2020

L'écranisation est un processus de changement d’unroman en film. Selon Eneste (1991) l’écranisation est divisée en trois aspects, ces sont la réduction, l’addition, et le changement de variation. La différence de médias provoquent un changement des éléments dans une histoire, tels que le personnage et le fond de lieu. Le roman La Gloire de Mon Père de Marcel Pagnol a été publié en 1957 et a été adapté en film par le réalisateur Yves Robert en 1990. La méthode utilisée dans cette recherche était descriptive-qualitative. Cette recherche a utilisé le roman et le film La Gloire de Mon Père comme les objets matériels, alors que l’objet formel était la théorie d’écranisation. Les données ont été obtenues à partir des techniques “simak” (v.t. menyimak (di-). écouter attentivement, et “catat” (v.t. mencatat (di-). 1. noter, relever, inscrire. 2. enregistrer : buku itu harus dicatat dulu il faut d’abord enregistrer ce livre. Concernant l’écranisation des personnages, il y a eu huit réductions, cinq additions, et treize variations. Par ailleurs, dans l’écranisation des fonds, il y a eu huit réductions, quinze additions, et onze variations. Les modifications qui ont été menées visaient à rendre le film plus intéressant et moins monotone, contrairement à ce qui était écrit dans le roman.
An Investigation into the Genetic History of Japanese Populations of Three Starfish,Acanthaster planci,Linckia laevigata, andAsterias amurensis, Based on Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequences
Authors: Inoue Jun , Hisata Kanako , Yasuda Nina , Satoh Noriyuki
Published: May 2020

Crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci (COTS), are common in coral reefs of Indo-Pacific Ocean. Since they are highly fecund predators of corals, periodic outbreaks of COTS cause substantial loss of healthy coral reefs. Using complete mitochondrial DNA sequences, we here examined how COTS outbreaks in the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan are reflected by the profile of their population genetics. Population genetics of the blue starfish, Linckia laevigata, which lives in the Ryukyu Archipelago, but not break out and the northern Pacific sea star, Asterias amurensis, which lives in colder seawater around the main Islands of Japan, were also examined as controls. Our results showed that As. amurensis has at least two local populations that diverged approximately 4.7 million years ago (MYA), and no genetic exchanges have occurred between the populations since then. Linckia laevigata shows two major populations in the Ryukyu Archipelago that likely diverged ∼6.8 MYA. The two populations, each comprised of individuals collected from coast of the Okinawa Island and those from the Ishigaki Island, suggest the presence of two cryptic species in the Ryukyu Archipelago. On the other hand, population genetics of COTS showed a profile quite different from those of Asterias and Linckia. At least five lineages of COTS have arisen since their divergence ∼0.7 MYA, and each of the lineages is present at the Okinawa Island, Miyako Island, and Ishigaki Island. These results suggest that COTS have experienced repeated genetic bottlenecks that may be associated with or caused by repeated outbreaks.

Authors: Silva Tiago Amaral
Published: May 2020

O presente artigo foi desenvolvido a partir das experiências como professor nos Institutos Federais de Educação pelos quais passamos. O principal objetivo é discutir as possibilidades do ensino da Educação Física Escolar dentro dos currículos dos cursos de Ensino Médio Integrado no Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (IFMS). A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e descritiva, sob a ótica dos Projetos Pedagógicos dos cursos desta modalidade na instituição pesquisada, além de produções científicas correlatas. Observamos que a Cultura Corporal de Movimento fundamenta a disciplina Educação Física nos currículos do IFMS, esta que ainda carece de uma estruturação epistemológica quando se trata da Educação Física voltada para cursos de Ensino Médio Integrado.
Fundamentos éticos e projetos profissionais do Serviço Social brasileiro e italiano
Authors: Silva Salyanna de Souza
Published: May 2020

Resumo: O artigo visa realizar um estudo bibliográfico e documental sobre os fundamentos éticos presente nos projetos profissionais do Serviço Social brasileiro e italiano. Observamos que no Serviço Social brasileiro temos uma hegemonia teórica e política em torno do nominado Projeto Ético-Político, enquanto na Itália o projeto é centrado na defesa dos direitos dos indivíduos, pautado na ética personalista, o que pode indicar uma influência eclética, seja do personalismo, seja do neotomismo.

Capitalismo e razão neoliberal: ódio colonial e extermínio de travestis e transexuais no Brasil
Authors: Garcia Carla Cristina , Silva Fabio Mariano da , Sanchez Marcelo Hailer
Published: May 2020

Resumo: O presente artigo objetiva tratar sobre a forma como o ódio colonial vem sendo historicamente capitaneado pelo capitalismo, perpetuando, a partir do Estado moderno, uma estrutura racial e sexista que alijam pessoas negras, mulheres e LGBT. Ainda que interseccionada, iremos nos deter no ódio direcionado às pessoas transgêneros, sujeitos cujo controle da vida e dos corpos tem revelado ódio como projeto de Estado neoliberal que promove a invisibilidade e o extermínio dessas pessoas.

Published: May 2020

Resumo A experiência do amor entre pessoas do mesmo sexo ainda é percebida numa ótica social estigmatizante. Na tentativa de contribuir com a discussão dessa questão, neste estudo, foram geradas evidências de validade e fidedignidade para o Bem Sex Role Inventory - reduzido por meio da análise dos escores de 331 indivíduos heterossexuais e homossexuais, de ambos os sexos, que coabitavam com seus parceiros amorosos há pelo menos um ano no Rio de Janeiro/RJ. Também foi realizada uma análise confirmatória da Escala Triangular do Amor - reduzida, que revelou bom ajuste do modelo e invariância de medida para homossexuais e heterossexuais. Além disso, foram verificadas as relações entre orientação sexual, papéis sexuais, amor e satisfação conjugal. A intimidade e o compromisso no amor foram os melhores preditores da satisfação conjugal para ambos os grupos. Foram encontradas algumas evidências que questionam os estereótipos sociais vinculados às relações amorosas de pessoas de mesmo sexo.

Published: May 2020

Abstract The PCQ-24 is the main international measure for assessing psychological capital (PsyCap) in organizational contexts. In order to evaluate its adaptation to the Brazilian context, this study aimed to verify preliminary evidences of its psychometric validity. Data collection was conducted online with 749 employees from all regions of Brazil. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to examine the quality of fit of the second-order factor structure of PCQ-24. The fit indicators were satisfactory (χ2= 742.10, χ2/df= 4.01, p< .001, SRMR= .05, CFI= .91, GFI= .90, TLI= .90, RMSEA= .06). Cronbach’s alpha was .92 and the composite reliability coefficient was .95; in addition, a multigroup confirmatory factorial analysis, comparing male and female participants, demonstrated that the scale is adequate for both groups. These results indicate, in a preliminary way, the validity of PCQ-24 as a measure of psychological capital in the Brazilian labor context.

Published: May 2020

Resumo O Inventário de Adiamento de Gratificação (DGI-35) foi desenvolvido para avaliar os diferentes níveis de adiamento de gratificação presentes na população geral. O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar as propriedades psicométricas do DGI-35 para a população brasileira e evidências de validade convergente com a Escala de Impulsividade de Barratt (BIS-11). Participaram 405 brasileiros (61,2% mulheres), com idades entre 18 e 46 anos (M = 22,32, DP = 4,78). Foram conduzidas análises fatoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias com vistas a avaliar a estrutura interna do instrumento. Dos cinco fatores originais, quatro tiveram estrutura interna semelhante à versão original, exceto o fator “Físico” que não se ajustou ao modelo, levando a criação de uma alternativa de 28 itens à escala original (DGI-28), que apresentou adequados índices de ajuste. Conforme esperado, o escore global da DGI-28, bem como os seus fatores estiveram negativamente relacionados ao escore global da BIS-11.

Resumo O otimismo consiste em expectativas positivas quanto ao futuro e persistência diante das adversidades. Devido às lacunas teóricas referentes à sua avaliação, no âmbito nacional, esta pesquisa objetivou construir uma escala de otimismo para adultos e investigar suas propriedades psicométricas. Participaram 555 adultos, 18 a 77 anos (M = 33,6; DP = 11,5), sendo a maioria mulheres (65,4%). Após a construção dos itens, foram realizadas análise semântica, análise de juízes, análise fatorial exploratória e verificou-se a precisão. A análise semântica e a análise de juízes indicaram evidências de validade baseadas no conteúdo. A análise fatorial exploratória indicou um modelo de dois fatores, que explicou 47,3% da variância dos dados. Os valores de alfa de Cronbach indicaram a precisão do instrumento (α = 0,94 - Fator 1 e α = 0,92 - Fator 2). Concluiu-se que a escala proposta apresenta evidências de validade baseadas no conteúdo, na estrutura interna e precisão.

Published: May 2020

Abstract Regardless of family configurations, few studies address the concomitant assessment of mothers and fathers regarding their children’s behaviors and parenting practices. The objective was to compare and correlate the assessment of biological mothers and fathers of intact nuclear families on their parental practices and behavioral problems of their school-aged children. Fourth-two intact nuclear families answered to the following instruments: General Questionnaire, Parenting Style Inventory, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and Raven Progressive Matrices Test - Special Scale. The quantitative analysis showed that mothers and fathers presented similar assessments regarding the behavior of their children, though mothers reported more positive practices than fathers. Negative parenting styles were positively correlated with child behavioral problems. These findings contribute to the planning of preventive strategies and interventions directed to families.

Abstract The composition of the diet of two species of characids (Knodus heteresthes and Moenkhausia lepidura) was evaluated in the Teles Pires and Juruena Rivers, sampled in September and October 2016. We analyzed 226 stomachs of K. heteresthes and 425 of M. lepidura. The analysis of the stomach contents was based on volumetric and frequency of occurrence methods, applying the food importance index. For the similarity of the diets between the species we calculated the niche overlap with Pianka’s index. Both species in the Juruena River have a dietary preference for arthropods (IAi > 0.95). In the Teles Pires River the diet is concentrated in three sources for both species: arthropods (IAi > 0.52), vegetables (IAi > 0.33) and fish (IAi > 0.12). The diet was dissimilar when compared to environments (ANOSIM, R ≥ 0.57, p < 0.001) with high trophic niche overlap (α > 0.97), regardless of the sampled environment. In the Teles Pires River, both species were classified as omnivorous with an insectivorous tendency and in the Juruena River the insectivorous behaviour occurs.
Prevalence of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in Persian and Persian-related cats in Brazil

Published: May 2020

Abstract Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic disease in cats. However, scarce data on its prevalence are available in Brazil. Persian cats and Persian-related breeds were assessed by molecular genotyping for a C to A transversion in exon 29 of PKD1 gene to determine ADPKD prevalence in a Brazilian population. Genomic DNA extracted from peripheral whole blood or oral swabs samples was used to amplify exon 29 of PKD1 gene employing a PCR-RFLP methodology. From a total of 616 animals, 27/537 Persian and 1/17 Himalayan cats showed the single-nucleotide variant (C to A) at position 3284 in exon 29 of feline PKD1. This pathogenic variation has been identified only in heterozygous state. The prevalence of ADPKD in Persian cats and Persian-related breeds was 5.03% and 1.6%, respectively. There was no significant association between feline breed, gender or age with ADPKD prevalence. Of note, the observed ADPKD prevalence in Persian cats and Persian-related breeds in Brazil was lower than the ones reported in other parts of the world. This finding may be related to genetic counseling and consequent selection of ADPKD-free cats for reproduction.
Eficácia da terapia complexa descongestiva para linfedema nos membros inferiores: revisão sistemática

Published: May 2020

Resumo O linfedema é uma condição crônica que afeta negativamente a função e a qualidade de vida. Atualmente, não existe tratamento definitivo. Todavia, algumas opções foram propostas para amenizar suas consequências. Entre elas, destaca-se a terapia complexa descongestiva (TCD), que se configura como um dos principais métodos de escolha de tratamento. Esta revisão sistemática teve por objetivo avaliar a eficácia dessa técnica no tratamento de linfedemas nos membros inferiores. Os resultados revelaram que a TCD foi eficaz na redução do volume das extremidades afetadas. No entanto, algumas questões ainda não foram elucidadas, tais como: por quanto tempo os pacientes se beneficiam com o uso da TCD? Como manter os ganhos obtidos? Diante da heterogeneidade, da insatisfatória qualidade metodológica dos trabalhos disponíveis e da inexistência de protocolo padrão para aplicação da técnica, não foi possível realizar a metanálise, o que demonstra que há muito a se avançar na investigação e na terapêutica do linfedema.

ABSTRACT: An approach for the diagnosis of an abamectin outbreak in calves in the field is described and discussed. In a Midwestern Brazilian property, nine out of a 52 newborn calves were affected and died, making up for morbidity, mortality, and lethality ratios of 17.3%, 17.3%, and 100%, respectively. Major clinical signs included tremors in various muscle groups, inability to stand, and difficult, wheezing breathing. Each affected calf had been treated subcutaneously with abamectin (0.4mg/kg/body weight). No lesions were found at necropsy or at histological examination. Major diseases of newborn calves were included in the differential diagnosis.
DRIVERS OF SERVICE INNOVATION: PROPOSAL OF A THEORETICAL MODEL
Authors: LEO RICARDO M. , TELLO-GAMARRA JORGE
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To propose a theoretical model based on nine drivers of service innovation (organizational culture, strategies, research and development, employees, technological trajectory, institutional trajectory, competitors, consumers, and suppliers) in order to comprehend the phenomenon. Originality/value: Given its recent empowerment and the manufacturing focus it has initially received, service innovation still lacks models that seek to comprehend the phenomenon within an encompassing and particular framework. The originality of this study arises from this issue. Design/methodology/approach: The method consists of a multiple case study. We used semi-structured interviews with strategic hospital managers and documental research with an analysis of accounting balances, organograms, and other documents. We addressed the cases from a systemic perspective in order to permit comparison within the same structure. Results: The model permitted us to recognize that the analyzed hospitals were having difficulty innovating, as shown by some characteristics found through the drivers that were proposed by this study. More specifically, the hospitals follow a unidimensional and outdated concept of innovation; that is, they consider innovation in services to be the adoption of technologies from the industry, as shown by Barras (1986). There are also no strategic innovation programs.
