Validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Quick Exposure Check (QEC) in Iranian construction workers
Authors: Mokhtarinia Hamid Reza , Abazarpour Sahar , Gabel Charles Philip
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND: The Quick Exposure Check (QEC) is an instrument to identify occupational risk factors, and to screen subjects for the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in their workplace. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this prospective observational study was the cross-cultural adaptation of the QEC for Persian (QEC-Pr) speaking workers and the determination of the minimally required psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, in a Persian population. METHODS: The forward-backward translation was completed according to the published guidelines. A total of 217 male construction workers were recruited. The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool was used as the criterion. The Inter- and intra-rater reliability was performed respectively in a sub-sample of n = 50 and n = 30. Convergent validity was determined from the correlation between the QEC-Pr and the RULA. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s α. RESULTS: High levels of inter-rater reliability (ICC2.1 range = 0.79–0.93), intra-rater reliability (ICC2.1 range = 0.74–0.89) and internal consistency (α= 0.74) were obtained. Concurrent validity between the different sections of the QEC and RULA scores were determined to be fair but below the desired level (range r = 0.41–0.44). CONCLUSIONS: The QEC-Pr can be applied as a specific risk assessment instrument for different occupational situations, such as the construction industry, in Persian language populations.

Authors: Vergara-Miranda Héctor , Alvarez-Lozada Luis Adrián
Published: October 2020

Primary splenic lymphomas involve the spleen and/or its lymph nodes. They represent <1% of lymphomas and they imply a diagnostic challenge due to its poor symptomatology and low prevalence.

There for, the objects this work describe the management and evolution of a patient with HIVAIDS and presentation of a primary lymphoma of the spleen.

In this report we present the case of a 52-year-old male patient with HIV infection without treatment presented with abdominal pain, fever and a 2-month weight loss. The pre-operative computed tomography showed splenomegaly and hypodense lesions suspected to be tumoral.

He was operated on, performing an exploratory laparotomy, performing an splenectomy. The histopathological study reported a non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Primary splenic lymphoma is a non frequent entity. It is necessary to be acquainted with it in order to suspect it.

Life is filled with uncertainty and when a disaster or hard times occur often times individuals and families are rendered vulnerable with feelings that include helplessness and confusion. As emotions shift from shock to survival and reasoning, the bad event or hard times begin to be processed. Beliefs and energies may shift from thoughts of sadness and despair into action. We want to help, but how? And who can we trust? It’s great to follow your heart, but be sure to lead with your head. Employ critical thinking here. Remember to stop, think, and finally act. Said another way, do the research first to ensure your good intentions and your hard earned money are stewarded with virtuous intention- thoughtfully and with integrity.

Peach Rust (Transchelia spp.)
Authors: Mancero-Castillo Daniel , Sarkhosh Ali , Ligon Courtney , Olmstead Mercy A. , Harmon Philip F.
Published: October 2020

Peach rust is a fungal disease commonly caused by Tranzchelia discolor (Fuckel) Tranzschel & Litvinov that attacks plants in the genus Prunus, including peach, nectarine, almond, plum, apricot, and cherry. In the Southeastern United State, the fungus is most common on peach orchards during summer and fall. The peach rust severity depends on the climatic conditions (temperature and rainfall), hosts (peach cultivars) and geographic location. Fungus rust is spread by airborne spores, which depend on moisture for infection. Where warm temperatures and high rainfalls usually result in severe peach rust infections. Florida’s summer rainfall provide favorable conditions for peach rust development. Despite, all currently available cultivars of peach in Florida are susceptible to the disease (Adaskaveg et al. 2012). Further studies of subtropical peach cultivars have shown differences for peach rust tolerance, measured by leaf retention, and rust incidence in the orchards (Alves et al. 2014; Citadin et al. 2010)

Authors: Costa Rafaela Maria de Paula , Cardinot Themis Moura , Oliveira Liszt Palmeira de
Published: October 2020

A avaliação da qualidade de vida por meio de escalas e questionários tem sido cada vez mais utilizada, principalmente depois que suas propriedades psicométricas foram comprovadas como um parâmetro válido e reprodutível. A maior parte dos instrumentos de avaliação da qualidade de vida foram criados na língua inglesa. Para esses instrumentos serem usados em uma população de idioma e cultura diferentes é necessário seguir algumas etapas para a sua tradução, adaptação cultural do idioma e avaliação de suas propriedades psicométricas. O objetivo dessa revisão integrativa foi fazer uma breve descrição das etapas de tradução e adaptação cultural dos instrumentos de avaliação da qualidade de vida e descrever detalhadamente as propriedades psicométricas necessárias para avaliar sua validade e confiabilidade. Foram feitas buscas nas bases eletrônicas MEDLINE, SciELO e BVS com os seguintes descritores: Questionários (Questionnaires); Escalas (Scales); Tradução (Translating); Confiabilidade (Reliability); Validade (Validity). De acordo com os resultados da literatura analisada, um conjunto de instruções padronizadas para a tradução e adaptação cultural dos instrumentos de qualidade de vida devem incluir cinco passos: tradução, síntese, tradução de volta, revisão pelo comitê e pré-teste. Para avaliar a manutenção das características originais dos instrumentos traduzidos e adaptados culturalmente, os domínios confiabilidade e validade foram os mais utilizados. O domínio confiabilidade contém as propriedades psicométricas: consistência interna, confiabilidade (teste-reteste, inter-avaliador e intra-avaliador) e erro de medida. O domínio validade contém as propriedades psicométricas: validade de construção, validade de conteúdo e validade de critério. Assim, com esse artigo de revisão, espera-se ajudar os profissionais de saúde a identificar e distinguir esses diferentes domínios e propriedades psicométricas ao utilizar um instrumento de avaliação da qualidade de vida ou ao realizar um estudo de validação.

Obesity induced by a leptin deficiency causes extensive damage in brain due to a large increase in oxidative stress. Mitochondria have a central role in this neural damage. Leptin receptors have a wide expression in the brain and its absence is associated with reduced mitochondrial respiration by a decoupled electron transport chain and a significantly increased complex II activity which is major player in mitochondrial free radical generation. The consequences are an abrupt reduction in ATP production and a reduced activity of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, evidence of dysfunction of processes related to energy production, the reduction of which contributes to multiple brain pathologies. Melatonin, a major protector of mitochondria against free radicals with a significant influence on glucose metabolism, has been shown to counteract these conditions. In the present study the main respirasome expression was recovered by melatonin, with a reduction in complex II activity and the complex II dependent  free radical generation. Additionally, melatonin normalized the TCA cycle. Reduction in ATP synthesis was caused by UCP2 activation. The uninterrupted sensation of starvation due to leptin deficiency involves impairments in glucose metabolism, which was reversed by melatonin  via negatively acting on hexokinase II, a key regulator of glycolysis and major contributor to the Warburg effect. Hexokinase II reduction was accompanied by a significant Bcl-2 reduction,  inducing a delicate readjustment of pro and anti-apoptotic proteins in the mitochondria to preserve cell survival, which was associated with a marked reduction of the Bax activator, Puma, observed in obese animals treated by melatonin.

Discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia: when and for whom?
Authors: Atallah Ehab , Schiffer Charles A.
Published: October 2020

Treatment discontinuation is considered one of the main goals of therapy for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Several criteria are felt to be necessary to consider discontinuation, while others may predict a better chance of achieving treatment-free remission. Criteria for discontinuation include patients in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia, a minimum duration of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy of 3 years, sustained deep molecular response for at least 2 years and a molecular response of at least MR4. In addition, proper education of the patient on the need for more frequent monitoring, possible side effects related to stopping and having a reliable real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction laboratory are paramount to the safety and success of treatment-free remission. Realistically though, a maximum of only 20-30% of newly diagnosed patients will be able to achieve a successful treatment-free remission. In this article we will review for whom and when a trial of discontinuation should be considered.

Vaikuttaako koulutus?
Authors: Aaltonen Rainer
Published: October 2020

Artikkeli on katsaus käsityksiin, joita koulutuksen vaikutuksista on viime vuosikymmeninä esitetty. 1950-luvulta lähtien kertyneet tutkimushavainnot loivat perustaa uskomukselle koulutuksen myönteisistä vaikutuksista sekä taloudelliseen kasvuun että laajemminkin yhteiskunnalliseen kehitykseen. Tämä käsitys sai paradigmaattisen muotonsa nk. inhimillisen pääoman teoriassa, joka oli vallitsevana lähes koko 1960-luvun. Vuosikymmenen lopulla alkoi ilmaantua teoriaan kohdistuvaa kritiikkiä, jota vahvistivat erityisesti 1970-luvun alkupuolella tehdyt tutkimukset, jotka antoivat varsin pessimistisen kuvan koulutuksen vaikutuksista ja mahdollisuuksista. Tämä johti evaluaatiotutkimuksen korostumiseen. Suomessa vastaava kehitys on kulkenut muutamia vuosia anglosaksisten maiden tilannetta jäljessä.

Os visitantes de áreas naturais urbanas podem causar impactos antrópicos negativos nos organismos e no ambiente. Considerando a importância das Unidades de Conservação urbanas para a conservação da biodiversidade e serviços ecossistêmicos, o objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar o perfil dos visitantes, as atividades por eles realizadas e seus impactos negativos no Parque Natural Municipal Chico Mendes, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Em 2018, foram realizadas entrevistas com 100 visitantes e 3 funcionários do parque para obter o perfil dos visitantes e as atividades desenvolvidas por eles. A maioria dos visitantes era proveniente da região (59%), possuía no mínimo nível superior incompleto (52%) e frequentava o parque nos finais de semana e feriados (80%). Metade dos visitantes tinha entre 31 e 50 anos de idade e a maioria eram mulheres (69%), sendo a principal motivação para a visita o contato com a natureza (68%). As atividades danosas/proibidas relatadas com maior frequência foram o uso de trilhas não oficiais, presença de animais exóticos, resíduos sólidos inapropriadamente descartados no parque, alimentação da fauna e coleta de plantas. Ainda, os visitantes com maior grau de escolaridade realizavam atividades danosas/proibidas com menos frequência que os demais (P=0,0021). Recomenda-se a realização de ações de educação ambiental que ressaltem a importância de se respeitar as regras do parque, principalmente para os visitantes com menor grau de escolaridade. A caracterização do perfil dos visitantes e o monitoramento de seus impactos negativos ao longo do tempo devem integrar um plano de manejo adaptativo para o parque.

No Brasil, a produção laticínios é o segundo segmento mais importante da indústria de alimentos, devido as suas características nutricionais e sensoriais. As culturas lácticas são empregadas na tecnologia de produção para acentuar o sabor, aroma, textura e acidez dos laticínios que os tornam mais aceitáveis pelos consumidores. Portanto, o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o potencial tecnológico de espécies do gênero Enterococcus e cepas de Streptococcus infantarius subsp. infantarius isoladas de queijo de Coalho artesanal da Paraíba, Brasil, a fim de selecioná-las para a fabricação de produtos lácteos fermentados. Foram avaliados a capacidade acidificante, atividade proteolítica, produção de aroma, atividade de β-Galactosidase, tolerância ao cloreto de sódio e atividade antagonista contra diferentes patógenos. Das cepas analisadas, 26,67% foram consideradas rápidas acidificantes, 33,33% foram capazes de produzir enzimas proteolíticas, 26,67% apresentaram atividade enzimática de β-galactosidase e 33,33% foram tolerantes ao cloreto de sódio. Os patógenos formam inibidos por 40,00% das bactérias ácido láticas (BAL) testadas. As cepas de Enterococcus apresentaram valores mais elevados do que as cepas de S. infantarius subsp. infantarius, em especial a cepa Enterococcus faecium KT990027. Assim podemos concluir que E. faecium KT990027 pode ser usada como cultura iniciadora, pois apresentou as melhores características tecnológicas gerais aplicáveis a este tipo de cultura. Esses resultados confirmam que o queijo de Coalho artesanal da Paraíba possui BAL que podem ser utilizadas na indústria de laticínios.

Published: October 2020

A segurança do paciente é a ação destinada a evitar eventos adversos na assistência de saúde prestada, com ênfase em ações direcionadas a melhorias contínuas. Atualmente, em âmbito hospitalar, vem crescendo a incidência de ocorrências de resultados adversos ao paciente, destacando-se os erros de prescrição e administração de medicamentos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a segurança do paciente em ambiente hospitalar pela equipe de enfermagem através de uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo integrativa da literatura que aborda um conhecimento atual sobre um tema especifico. Após a realização da pesquisa pode-se verificar que existem uma série de fatores que podem interferir no processo de assistência hospitalar, como a ilegibilidade nas prescrições, falhas no preparo e diluição dos medicamentos e a falha de comunicação entre os profissionais, a maioria influencia negativamente para a qualidade de vida dos pacientes hospitalizados. Portanto, percebe-se a necessidade de mais estudos acerca do tema, pois notou-se uma escassez de publicações e conhecimento diante da segurança do paciente, que é uma cultura que deve ser estabelecida na prática de cuidados, uma vez que visa a redução de danos e custos desnecessários ao cuidado de saúde.

Published: October 2020

As tecnologias têm apresentado um grau de importância cada vez mais elevado na vida das pessoas, tornando-se substancial refletir acerca da sua utilização na educação e do papel dos professores e das metodologias utilizadas, atualmente, em sala de aula. O uso de práticas pedagógicas associadas as novas tecnologias, como por exemplo as geotecnologias, aproximam as relações dos alunos com estas, promovendo um aprendizado mais atraente e eficiente. Assim, essa pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar o potencial das geotecnologias utilizadas no ensino de Geoprocessamento em um Curso Técnico em Meio Ambiente Integrado ao Ensino Médio do IFMG e como estas poderiam auxiliar as demais disciplinas do curso relacionadas ao estudo ambiental. Para isso foi elaborada uma pesquisa empírica através de uma abordagem qualitativa com um grupo de dez Professores que lecionam doze disciplinas no referido Curso. Os Professores responderam a um questionário com questões relacionadas aos seus conhecimentos prévios em relação aos recursos geodidáticos envolvidos no ensino do geoprocessamento tais como, GNSS, Sensoriamento Remoto e SIG, sua formação e experiência, além de questões relacionadas ao ambiente de ensino. Os resultados obtidos com essa pesquisa nos levam a concluir que o uso das geotecnologias pode otimizar o ensino das disciplinas relacionadas ao estudo ambiental. Mas para isso são necessários esforços de maneira a capacitar e fornecer subsídios teóricos e práticos aos docentes para a utilização de tais recursos para que esses possam ter segurança e confiabilidade na utilização de recursos geotecnológicos.
Phosphate diester utilization by marine diazotrophs Trichodesmium erythraeum and Crocosphaera watsonii
Authors: Yamaguchi T , Sato M , Gonda N , Takahashi K , Furuya K
Published: October 2020

In the phosphate-depleted oligotrophic ocean, microbes utilize various dissolved organic phosphorus (P) compounds as alternative P sources, using enzymes such as alkaline phosphatases. However, knowledge of such P acquisition mechanisms is limited, especially in association with the physiology of nitrogen-fixing organisms, which play a substantial role in marine biogeochemical cycling. We show that nonaxenic clonal cultures of 2 oceanic diazotrophs,Trichodesmium erythraeumandCrocosphaera watsonii, have the ability to utilize phosphate diester as their sole P source, using a model artificial compound—bis-p-nitrophenyl phosphate (bisNPP). Although both diazotroph cultures likely preferred phosphate monoester to diester, the expressed diesterase activity was theoretically sufficient to fulfill their P demands, and they showed significant growth in bisNPP-added media. Interestingly, a distinct difference in their growth trends was observed, with faster onset of growth byC. watsoniiand delayed onset of growth byT. erythraeum. This indicates that theC. watsoniiconsortium can effectively and rapidly assimilatein situdiesters as alternative P sources in the field. Nonetheless, when considering the poor bisNPP utilization reported from other marine phytoplankton taxa, our results indicate that the utilization of particular diester compounds is a notable and advantageous strategy for both diazotroph consortia to alleviate P limitation in the oligotrophic ocean.
Critical threshold identified in the functional relationship between beaked whales and their prey

Published: October 2020

Anthropogenic noise is increasingly recognized as a potentially significant stressor for marine animals. Beaked whales, deep-diving cephalopod predators, have been disproportionally present in atypical mass stranding events coincident with military sonar exercises, while frequently disturbed populations that do not strand may have reductions in fitness. We presentin situmeasures of prey availability, a key factor affecting fitness, for 2 distinct populations ofMesoplodon densirostris: one on a US Navy range in The Bahamas and one nearby in an area less exposed to sonar. The variables most strongly correlated with beaked whale habitat use were related to the distribution of deep-sea squid (mode spacing, peak depth, and 100 m scale variability). All squid metrics were more favorable for beaked whales at the less exposed site than those on the range. To develop a generalized functional relationship between prey resources and beaked whale habitat use, data from The Bahamas were combined with comparable data from another Navy range and the larger beaked whale,Ziphius cavirostris. A power-law relationship was observed between a normalized metric of prey quality and whale habitat use. A critical threshold in prey characteristics, below which beaked whales appear unlikely to be successful, but above which small changes in resource availability enable large gains for predators, was observed. This implies that modest changes in the behavior of individual whales associated with disturbance can have consequential population effects. Our results elucidate the ecological realities of these elusive and sensitive beaked whales, and the importance of environmental context in effective spatial planning for the deep sea.

Huvudtesen i artikeln är att analysen av främlingsfientlighet bör fokuseras på två typer av faktorer som sammanfaller med detta fenomens dubbla förankring i den sociala verkligheten. Dels bör främlingsfientigheten relateras till frågan om hur enskilda människor upplever invandrare och invandring i bestämda, sociala sammanhang. Dels innebär fenomenet även en kollektiv dimension.
Social forskning i konflikt - om samhällsvetenskapliga perspektiv och forskningens frihetsgrader
Authors: Levin Claes
Published: October 2020

Vilka implikationer har det samhällsvetenskapliga perspektivet för forskningsresultaten? Med exempel från tre svenska forskningsrapporter diskuteras relationen mellan forskarens val av teori och metod och ramarna för möjliga utfall och tolkningar. I vilken utsträcknfng är forskningsresultaten ett resultat av den objektiva vetenskapen eller av sociala och utomvetenskapliga faktorer?

Debatt: Om fascism, antifascism och förskolepedagogik
Authors: Eriksson Ingalill
Published: October 2020

Syftet med artikeln är att, utifrån en empirisk studie av barnomsorgen, reflektera kring antifascism och förskolans sociala liv. Tesen är att det finns en antifascism i förskolepedagogiken, som tidigare inte synliggjorts. Den första delen av artikeln handlar om aktuell debatt kring fascism och antifascism. Baumans bok om Auschwitz och det moderna samhället tas upp, liksom debatten om Carl Gustav Iungs förflutna och jungianimens påstådda sarnhörighet med fascismen. Är Emmanuel Levinas' antifascistiska filosofi den som kan visa vägen ut ur motsatsen rationalism -irrationalism och den ömsesidiga anklagelsen om fascism som resultat av för mycket eller för lite vetenskapligt förnuft? Emmanuel Levinas tankar finns med i den svenska förskolepedagogiken, även om den där sällan uttrycks i hans termer. Enligt Levinas börjar antifascismen i mötet mellan enskilda människor, där du lär dig att se den Andres Ansikte och njuta av livet.

Published: October 2020

Under 90-talet har offentlig barnomsorg utsatts för en stor kostnadspress. Data för kommunala daghem i Göteborg visar på en kraftig produktivitetsökning åren 1992 och 1993. Utvecklingen kan värderas olika beroende på utifrån vems perspektiv den betraktas; skattebetalare, daghemspersonal eller småbarnsfamiljer med eller utan barn på daghem.

MR219 transgenic rice line which overexpressed an auxin-binding protein (ABP57) and its wild-type cultivar, MR219, were screened under well-watered (WW) and drought stress (DS) conditions at the early reproductive stage. This study was conducted with the standard planting distance and under a normal environment to assess the yield advantages based on the field conditions. The aim of this study was to understand the response of these rice genotypes towards DS at morpho-physiological, biochemical, and agronomical levels. It was found that the DS had affected all these levels of the genotypes studied; however, the transgenic plant showed a higher number of tillers, flag leaf area, biomass, relative water content, total chlorophyll content, and antioxidative defense mechanism than the MR219 under DS. Compared to its wild-type, the transgenic plant showed an increased leaf photosynthetic rate by 7% under WW and 11% under DS. The transgenic plant also showed higher yields than MR219 under the WW (10%) and DS (59%). The results propose that drought tolerance is significantly improved in the MR219 transgenic rice line. It may develop a new opportunity for the drought-tolerant rice breeding programme via overexpression of ABP57.

Avulsion fracture of the tibial spine (TSA) is uncommon in children, although its incidence is increasing with the earlier practice of competitive sport activities. This study aims to report mid to long term outcomes in children who sustained a TSA, with a special focus on a return to sport activities. Skeletally immature patients with a TSA, treated in two orthopedic hospitals, were evaluated for range of motion and knee laxity using KT1000, KiRA and Rolimeter. The pediatric International Knee Documentation Committee score (Pedi-IKDC) and the Hospital for Special Surgery pediatric Functional Activity Brief Scale (Pedi-FABS) questionnaires were recorded during the latest visit. Forty-two children were included. Twenty-six were treated nonoperatively and 16 underwent surgery. At a mean follow-up of 6.9 ± 3.6 years, 36 patients completed the questionnaires and 23 patients were tested with arthrometers. Among them, 96% had normal knee laxity. The Pedi-IKDC score averaged 96.4 ± 5.7 points, while the mean Pedi-FABS was 22.2 ± 5.9 points, without statistically significant differences between groups. Twenty-eight patients (78%) returned to their previous level of sport activity (eight amateur, 13 competitive, seven elite athletes). Eight patients (22%) quit sport, mostly because of re-injury fear. If properly treated, pediatric TSAs achieve a high rate of successful healing, with complete restoration of knee stability and an early return to sport activities.
Performance Expectations of Professional Sport Teams and In-Season Head Coach Dismissals—Evidence from the English and French Men’s Football First Divisions
Authors: Rocaboy Yvon , Pavlik Marek
Published: October 2020

The goals of this paper are first to identify why professional football clubs replace their head coach and, second, to investigate the effect of coach dismissal on team performance. To do that, we propose a new method for assessing the performance expectations of professional sport teams using Monte Carlo simulation. We apply our method to the English Premier league and the French Ligue 1 football teams over the 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 seasons. We find that coach dismissal is the result of a drop in the average expected performance compared with the performance expectations at the beginning of the season. We also show that dismissing a coach may enhance performance only if the team under-performed before the dismissal. There is no obstacle to using the same method for professional teams in other sports. The method is easily reproducible and does not require much information in order to be applied.

Electric heating and solid thermal storage systems (EHSTSSs) are widely used in clean district heating and to flexibly adjust combined heat and power (CHP) units. They represent an effective way to utilize renewable energy. Aiming at the thermal design calculation and experimental verification of EHSTSS, the thermal calculation and the heat transfer characteristics of an EHSTSS are investigated in this paper. Firstly, a thermal calculation method for the EHSTSS is proposed. The calculation flow and calculation method for key parameters of the heating system, heat storage system, heat exchange system and fan-circulating system in the EHSTSS are studied. Then, the instantaneous heat transfer characteristics of the thermal storage system (TSS) in the EHSTSS are analyzed, and the heat transfer process of ESS is simulated by the FLUENT 15 software. The uniform temperature distribution in the heat storage and release process of the TSS verifies the good heat transfer characteristics of the EHSTSS. Finally, an EHSTSS test verification platform is built and the historical operation data of the EHSTSS is analyzed. During the heating and release thermal process, the maximum temperature standard deviation of each temperature measurement point is 28.3 °C and 59 °C, respectively. The correctness of the thermal calculation of the EHSTSS is thus verified.

Published: October 2020

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are unicellular microorganism that contain high-added-value compounds. To make their extraction economically feasible, the biorefinery concept is the only solution. In this study, the residues resulting from lipid or protein extraction from Arthrospira platensis biomass were valorized by catalytic pyrolysis using ZSM5 zeolite or amorphous silica–alumina as catalyst. The reaction was performed in a quartz reactor, and the catalysts were placed in a fixed bed, to force the reaction gases to pass through it. The reaction products were analyzed by FTIR and GC–MS analyses. The reaction gases and liquids obtained from the extraction residues had higher hydrocarbon contents compared with the untreated biomass. Moreover, the pyrolysis of biomass after protein extraction led to fractions with lower nitrogenated component contents, while that after lipid extraction to fractions with lower oxygenated component contents. This study showed that the pyrolysis process could be used to valorize the microalgae extraction residues, aiming to make biofuels production and extraction of high-added-value products more economically feasible.
