The ancient economy, Modernity and the East and West relationship: the contributions of Karl Marx and Max Weber
Authors: Carvalho Alexandre Galvão
Published: March 2021

The work of Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Max Weber (1864-1920) on the economy and society of the ancient world inaugurate a new perspective in relation to the economists of the 18th and 19th centuries and in debates about the old economy locked in Germany in the late 19th century. Different from neoclassical economists and the modernists and primitivism, these authors will defend the thesis of a radical break between the old world and the modern. A discontinuity marked, for Marx, the birth of the capitalist system, and for Weber, of modern capitalism. In addition to this similarity, these thinkers have reinforced the Eurocentric view by stating that the cultural and political roots of modern west lie in Classical Antiquity, reinforcing a tradition of thought of deep rifts between the ancient societies of the East and the societies of the Greco-Roman world, much contested in current historiography.

Authors: M. F. Gouveia Eliana M. , L. S. da Fonseca André , Noe Perla , J. V. Onselen Valter
Published: March 2021

Leishmaniasis is a tropical and subtropical disease caused by an intracellular protozoan transmitted by a bite from a vector, mainly from the genera Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia, and affects humans and other mammals, especially dogs. The main objective in controlling canine visceral leishmaniasis is to reduce the number of human cases by reducing its prevalence in dogs. In Brazil, glucantime antimoniate and Amphotericin B, utilized for treating the disease in humans, are prohibited so that only miltefosine, which is not employed for treatment of humans, is permitted for use in dogs. This work aimed to evaluate the efficacy of three different therapeutic protocols employed in the treatment of dogs naturally infected with visceral leishmaniasis. Fifty-six (56) dogs, of both sexes, were treated and evaluated utilizing three treatment protocols. The following protocols were utilized: association of several drugs; miltefosine associated with allopurinol; and immunotherapy with anti- Leishmania vaccine associated with Allopurinol. Immunotherapy was the most efficient protocol, followed by an association of drugs and miltefosine. The use of these protocols diminishes the constant relapses of the disease. Associations of therapeutic protocols produced clinical improvement of patients even with presentation of subsequent negative serology. However, the study did not include aspects related to hemoparasitoses, thus a further study is required.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the soil chemical parameters and microbiological quality of biquinho pepper fruits irrigated with treated wastewater and different irrigation depths. The experiment was carried out in protected environment with the application of four irrigation depths corresponding to 50, 75, 100 and 125% of the crop evapotranspiration with three concentrations of 0, 50 and 100% of treated wastewater in the cultivation of biquinho pepper in pots. The experimental design was in randomized blocks in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme, totaling 12 treatments, with three replications. The soil chemical parameters were determined before and after the growing the pepper with treated wastewater. Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated by the FAO Penman-Monteith method using data obtained from an Automatic Weather Station installed inside the protected environment. The microbiological quality was analyzed by quantifying fecal coliforms and the presence of Salmonella sp. recommended by Brazilian National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA). All pepper samples were in accordance with the limits recommended by the legislation and, therefore, the use of wastewater in pepper irrigation did not represent a risk to public health. The soil chemical parameters were changed in different ways after the application of the treated wastewater, being motivated by both soil and wastewater chemical characteristics.

“Mikhail Yasnov’s Library”: the poet as the organizer of the bookish space
Authors:   Ural State Pedagogical University (USPU), Barkovskaya Nina
Published: March 2021

One of the features of the modern literary process that should be considered today is the active involvement of authors themselves in the publishing process. This includes every step of publication of their creative works in both commercial publishing houses and through the “Ridero” platform. M.D. Yasnov, poet and translator, implemented several such projects, including the book series “Mikhail Yasnov’s Library” at the “Clever” publishing house. The collection “One Evening in the Morning”, compiled by Mikhail Yasnov, is viewed in the article as an attempt to create an anthology based on “the author’s personal taste.” It includes selected works of modern humor literature for children. The goal of this book as well as the entire series “Mikhail Yasnov’s Library” is to collect and preserve the best that exists in children’s literature today. The article analyzes composition of the book and it identifies the foremost techniques of the language game: polysemy, antonymy, oxymoron, literalization of metaphor, plot twists and turns. Special comments are made on the peculiarities of the subject organization of the text. Yasnov’s own poems are published in the book along with the creative works of other authors who are close to him in their creative approach. In addition, the works, collected in this single volume, introduce children to some “secrets” of poetic speech, above all, to the function of rhyme. Developing sensitivity to language, the book fulﬁlls both child-rearing and educational tasks, but it does this with humor, cheer, with breaking stereotypes, and reviving worn-out speech patterns.
The principle of dialogue in poems by Mikhail Yasnov for children
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Gubaidullina Anastasiia
Published: March 2021

The article focuses on Mikhail Yasnov’s poetry that is addressed to children of diﬀerent ages, from younger preschoolers to older schoolchildren. Yasnov’s poetry is viewed as a corpus of texts united by several general principles: among them are the harmony of childhood and the child’s trust in the world. Another unifying principle is poetic dialogue, manifested at diﬀerent levels of literary texts: from characters and imagery to metatextuality and the author’s consciousness. Dialogue in this paper is understood as overcoming a single point of view, an attempt to go beyond the personal I motivated by the attention to the Other. Yasnov’s poetry focuses on the search for similarities and diﬀerences between the phenomena of reality as it presents many voices and life positions. The concept of dialogue has great moral potential in children’s poetry as it contributes to the formation of empathy and development of self-knowledge in children. The aesthetic value of dialogue lays in the enrichment of the thematic and ﬁgurative structure of the lyrics.
The totems and taboos in the hungarian children’s poetry: yesterday and today
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Yakimenko Oxana
Published: March 2021

The article describes most notable trends in contemporary children’s poetry in Hungary. Developing in line with European and world trends, Hungarian children’s poetry is an integral part of national literature, which, in turn, has influenced the topics poets have been choosing and/or avoiding. In the early 20th century, the way children’s poetry was perceived in Hungary changed dramatically due to the developments in the society and literature; poetry for (and about) children had gradually evolved into an independent genre. With childhood experience “growing in value”, perception of a child as an independent person, and not as a “underaged adult”, had an effect on the increase in the numbers of texts where authors shared their own childhood experiences, and on the emergence of a whole new body of children’s literature. Sándor Weöres’s poems became a watershed for Hungarian children’s poetry. New principles he proposed formed the basis for poetic texts that have been created over the past seventy years. Following the precepts of Weöres and other authors of his generation, modern Hungarian poets combine rhythmic and phonetic richness of their native language with topics relevant to modern children, and expand the genre of children’s poetry, enriching the national and European children’s poetic canon.
Translations of slovenian children’s poetry into russian
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Gromova Mariya
Published: March 2021

This study summarizes the history of Slovenian poetry for children and its translation into Russian. The article reviews translated poems by Slovenian authors and Slovene folk poetry written for children from 1955 to the present. Translations of Slovenian children’s folk lore into Russian date back to 1971. They are mainly represented by folk songs and addressed to preschoolers translated into Russian by Leonid Yakhnin. Currently, Zhanna Perkovskaya is engaged in translations of Slovenian children’s literature into Russian. The largest number of publications of Slovenian poetry for children happened in the 1980s. After 1991, there was a long period of silence. However, in recent years, due to the interest of Russian publishers in Slovenian children’s literature successful at home, as well as a significant demand for books for preschoolers, the publication of children’s poetry by Slovenian authors has resumed.

Neutron-diffraction study of the cubic-tetragonal phase structural transition in the single crystals of the solid solutions of zirconium and yttrium oxides
Authors: Sarin V. A. , Bush A. A.
Published: March 2021

Objectives. The determination of the phase relations, crystallographic characteristics, microstructure features, and atomic crystal structure of zirconium oxide crystals that are partially and completely stabilized by yttrium oxide additives, and the identification of the crystallographic and crystal-chemical correlations with the physicochemical properties of single crystals.

Methods. The neutron structure of the crystals was studied using the neutron time-of-flight and constant wavelength methods using a high-resolution Fourier diffractometer on the IBR-2 pulsed fast reactor and a four-circle neutron diffractometer “Syntex.” Single crystals were grown by directed crystallization from the melts of mixtures (1 − х)ZrO2 ∙хY2O3 , х = 0.03 and х = 0.12 with different growth rates (10 and 40 mm/h).

Results. It was observed that when growing single crystals with x = 0.03–0.05, the crystal was stratified into cubic and tetragonal phases, and the ratio between the phases depended on the growth rate. At a growth rate of 40 mm/h, the content of the cubic phase was insignificant. In the crystals of partially stabilized zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) with the additions of 3 mol % Y2O3, the coherent coexistence of cubic and tetragonal phases was established, and the twin law for a tetragonal component (rotation of unit cell axis by 90° around the a (b) axis) that was observed during the phase transition from high-temperature cubic phase to tetragonal phase was determined. For the fully stabilized zirconium oxide of the cubic symmetry (with 12 mol % Y2O3), the 0.3 Å displacements of oxygen atoms from their partial structural positions in the directions [100] and [111] were determined. These displacements correlated with the directions of the ion transport.

Conclusions. Previous studies have shown that the ratio between the cubic and tetragonal phases of the single crystals of the ZrO2 –Y2O3 system depends on the growth rate of the single crystals. The content of Y2O3 in the cubic and tetragonal phases of a single crystal was determined using the non-destructive neutronography method on the same volume sample of a solid solution of this system. Moreover, the displacements of oxygen atoms from the main position of the crystal were determined.
Absenteeism and parental involvement in home and school among middle school students of public school in northern Mindanao, Philippines: basis for intervention
Authors: Grepon Benzar Glen
Published: March 2021

Educational attainment is an important determinant of one’s success. Yet, absenteeism among adolescents jeopardizes chances of achieving their educational goals. Absenteeism can lead to an increasing disinterest in school and the chance of dropping out in school. Thus, this study determined how parental involvement affects absenteeism among 60 Middle school students of a public school. Specifically, it tested the extent of absenteeism of the respondents and the extent of parental involvement in school. Also, this study correlates students’ absenteeism and parental involvement both at home and school. This study used descriptive–correlational method. A validated researcher-made questionnaire was used to determine the extent of absenteeism, extent of parental involvement and the respondents’ perception towards parental involvement. Further, frequency, weighted mean, Pearson R correlation, and t-test for Two Independent Means were used as statistical tools in analyzing the gathered data. The study disclosed that parents were greatly involved at home but were moderately involved in school which contributed to the absenteeism of the students. Parental involvement in school was deemed important in terms of giving support and monitoring their children’s attendance and performances in school. The findings revealed that parental involvement in school had a strong negative relationship with absenteeism. This meant that as parental involvement decreased, absenteeism among students increased. With α=0.05, there was a significant relationship between parental involvement and absenteeism both at home and in school. Conversely, there was no significant difference on how the students and their parents perceived parental involvement. As gleaned in the data, both parents and students considered parental involvement as one of the important factors that enabled the students to pursue their studies. This study concludes that parental involvement in school and at home is correlated with absenteeism of the Middle school students in a public school. Parental involvement at home enables the parents to take good care of their children and show support in the learners’ academic endeavors. Parental involvement in school also provides a big impression to the students. The presence of the parents in school boosts self-esteem and self-worth among their children.
The Improving properties of Viscose fabric by water repellent finish
Authors: Trinh Hue Thi Kim , Bùi Mai Hương
Published: March 2021

Viscose as cellulosic origin, the cheapest of all cellulosic fabrics could be the best alternative. Viscose is manufactured from regenerated cellulose. In order to manufacture viscose, pulp of bamboo is treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide to form alkali cellulose. This alkali cellulose is then treated with carbon disulfide to form sodium cellulose xanthate. The xanthate is then dissolved in aqueous sodium hydroxide and allowed to depolymerize. After depolymerization, rayon fiber is produced from the ripened solution. Viscose is primarily employed in apparels, upholstery fabric, industrial clothing, and medical hygiene. Apparels, upholstery fabric, and industrial clothing segments account for key share of the viscose market. The medical hygiene segment is anticipated to expand during the forecast period. Demand for viscose fiber is anticipated to increase significantly in the near future due to the rise in global population, increase in standard of living, and growth in disposable income. Viscose is an eco-friendly product; thus, increase in awareness about eco-friendly products and decrease in production of cotton are estimated to augment the demand for viscose fiber. Viscose fabric exhibits some similar properties compared to cotton except its poor wet strength due to higher moisture regain. In this study, chemical finishes by different cross-linkers were applied to improve the wet strength of the viscose fabric. For this purpose, water repellent finishes were applied. Water repellent finish helped in reducing the molecular barrier around the individual fibres that lowered the surface tension of the fabric. It reduces the absorbency of viscose fabric hence leads to higher wet strength. Therefore, the treated viscose fabric exhibited better wet strength after applying water repellent finishes on it. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to examine the surface of the fabric treated with chemicals. Tensile strength of viscose was increased 24.6%.
Challenges of political translation

Published: March 2021

Research topicality: Political texts are mainly available in translation. Thus, it is very important to provide the reader with an overt translation. To improve the quality of political text translation, it is important to understand and be able to notice the key language elements of the text, keeping in mind that political texts and political translations are manipulative. Figurative language is used to give language elements a figurative meaning and therefore creates a much more vivid image of the text. The aim: To study manipulative devices in political speeches. Research methodology: The analytical method is used in the analysis of literature on political translation and in transcript translations of political speeches. A contrastive analysis on source and target texts is made. To show the stylistic differences or similarities between the source text and translated text, two political speeches and their translation are analysed. A questionnaire for experienced and novice translators is used to prove, or reject the results of the analysis. Main findings: Not only political texts, but their translations as well are always manipulative. Figurative language tools are often used in translations of political speeches, mostly metaphors and epithets. The results of the questionnaire show that figurative language tools are used in everyday translations of political texts, and they reinforce the results gained from the political speeches analysis.
Influence of irrigation and fertilizer rate on changing the nutritional regime of mixed crops (sorghum and pea) soil on stubble
Authors: Allahverdiyev E. R. , Isayeva D. A.
Published: March 2021

Relevance. The article quotes questions of the influence of fertilizer rates and the number of irrigations on the change in the nutrient regime of the soil when growing mixed crops of pea and sorgho in the conditions of the Karabakh zone of Azerbaijan. In this regard, one of the main issues considered was the development on a scientific and practical basis of the nature of changes in the nutrient regime of the soil and the effect of optimal fertilizer rates and the number of irrigations on crop yields in mixed crops in long-irrigated gray meadow soils.

Methods. To study the effect of irrigation and fertilizer rates in mixed crops on changes in the nutrient regime of the soil, soil samples were taken from two soil layers (0-30 and 30-60 cm) after cutting. In the soil samples taken, compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that are readily absorbed by plants were analyzed.

Results. Analysis of soil samples shows that the application of mineral and organic fertilizers against the background of different amounts of irrigation fundamentally affects the effective fertility of the soil. In general, in the phase of flowering and panicle formation under the influence of irrigation and fertilizers, effective soil fertility was observed compared to the control variant without fertilizing, which remained at a sufficient amount. And this indicates that the plant showed a high demand for this nutrient. The decrease in the number of nutrients in the panicle formation phase indicates its connection with the removal of high yields. Analysis of soil samples during the study shows that the introduction of mineral and organic fertilizers against a background of varying amounts of irrigation has fundamentally affected the effective soil fertility.

Published: March 2021

Based on archival documents Of the Central state archive of the UR, the analysis of the state of beekeeping in the Udmurt ASSR was carried out on the example of Bolsheuchisnky village Council – one of the largest and steadily developing village councils. It was determined that flax and buckwheat were sown as one of the main honey crops. Cannabis crops also occupied a small area. Statistical archive data on the area of legume crops sown on farms of Bolsheuchinsky agricultural district showed that during the second world war there was a 3.8-fold decrease in sown areas. There is a deterioration in the agronomic level, which has affected the level of agricultural production. In a number of collective farms were low yields, increased infestation of fields, there were large losses during harvesting. The reduction of crops was also due to natural and climatic complications. In 1942, the maximum amount of honey (1.4% of the collected amount) was allocated under the expenditure item "to the homeland defense Fund". In the years of the second world war, the item of expenditure on production needs averaged 15%, with the exception of 1944 – 0.2%. Throughout the second world war, honey was distributed to the Fund for assistance to the needy (disabled people and children). creches). During the war period, with an almost stable number of bee colonies in the studied farms, the amount of honey obtained during the studied years was unstable. The minimum peak of honey collection was in 1944 – 181.37 kg due to the cold summer (the average monthly temperature of the summer months was 15-16°C). Probably, this stage of development of beekeeping during the second world war was a kind of test for the strength of both the system of labor organization in the apiary and the professionalism of beekeepers who passed all the tests with "excellent".

The analysis of the results of epizootic investigations carried out in the foci of foot and mouth disease and data from the study of the role of meat, meat products, meat processing waste and non-neutralized kitchen waste in the spread of the foot and mouth disease virus in a number of European countries (England, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Germany and Switzerland), the Soviet Union (Kyrgyz SSR, Latvian SSR, Magadan, Sakhalin, Leningrad and Kamchatka regions), Russian Federation (1995). Outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in Mongolia in February - March were caused by the transport of susceptible animals infected with foot and mouth disease virus and their slaughter products on the eve of the religious New Year holiday [1, 10]. Recently, the Russian Federation is free from foot and mouth disease. However, cases of the introduction of the FMD virus from neighboring countries unfavorable for this infection are recorded [8]. The greatest danger is posed by meat obtained from the slaughter of animals during the incubation period, as well as from vaccinated cattle infected with the FMD virus [2830]. The article presents the results of the indication of the FMD virus in samples from different organs and tissues infected with the FMD virus of animals. Information about the modes of disinfection of meat and meat products is presented.

Published: March 2021

Corn is one of the leading field crops in the Stavropol region. It is sown for grain annually on an area of about 120 thousand hectares. Many farms use it as a monoculture, sowing in one place for 3–4 years in a row. This makes it possible for the main pest of maize, the cotton bollworm, to stably maintain its population in field crop rotations for many years, not only in corn crops, but also to spread to other crops. The article provides information on the morphology, biological features of the cotton bollworms development in corn crops.

Published: March 2021

Relevance. The scientific community and agricultural producers are looking for a solution to the problem of how to protect consumers from the effects of hazardous mycotoxins in agricultural products. One of the tools, which will be considered in this article, is a screening system that allows determining the quan-titative indicators of wheat grain infection by toxin-producing fungi in a short time.

Methods. The method of quantitative PCR with the detection of fungal DNA and the method of enzyme immunoassay with the detection of Fusarium antigens were used to characterize the grain infection.

Results. We established the lower critical limit of DNA content which is 3955·10-4 pg/ng and the lower critical limit of Fusarium antigens which is 596 U/g based on the analyzes of grain fungi contamination in model experiments. Grain should be subjected to mycotoxins analysis upon detection of these critical lim-its. All batches of grain can be used in production without additional analyzes if their values determined by analytical methods are below that critical points. The obtained values can be quantitative benchmarks corresponding to the standard visual analysis of grain contamination currently described in GOST 31646-2012

Published: March 2021

The goal of the study was to reveal distinction between the reading practices at different educational levels and to specify the libraries’ place in these practices. The reading practices are determined not only by the new technological (digital) environment but also by the institutional and organizational context and social relationship within the educational environment. The case study of educa-tional institutions of Novosibirsk Academic Center (namely Novosibirsk State Uni-versity and the University’s specialized Academic Research Center) was accom-plished. The data was acquired through structured interviews, questionnaire-based survey supplemented with the statistical data of RAS SB State Public Scien-tific and Technological Library. The majority of high-graders use the library for textbooks and/or if recommended by the teacher. The university library is less involved in the educational process; the students visit the library occasionally (e.g. searching for rare publications or lacking alternatives). The university is not their source of digital documents or full texts either; the students prefer not to scruti-nize the specificity of every database and access procedure and turn to searchable Internet-resources. The library, in student’s opinion, needs modernization for less formal and disciplinary regulations, for more comfort, and polyfunctional envi-ronment of reading rooms.
Rethinking Our COVID-19 Strategy
Authors: Brauer Samuel
Published: March 2021

As of Feb 21, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic claimed over half a million lives in the U.S., and over half of the country’s population likely had an infection. Our strategy to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic to date has been to rely very heavily on vaccination while testing and anti-viral development was given short shrift. Initial results of vaccines appeared promising, but there have been increased numbers of new variants than expected due to a high effective muta-tion rate. These new variants show the strong possibility of mutational escape from existing an-tibodies, whether these antibodies are generated from natural infection or a vaccine. Increasing infection rates in the UK and Manaus, Brazil, has shown that even high seroprevalence from previous infection waves may not block these new variants. The development of new vaccines for COVID-19 has now become exponentially more challenging for several reasons. Given our partial success with the current vaccination strategy, it is time to revisit the idea of antiviral de-velopment combined with significantly increased testing as a means of controlling this pandem-ic. Only a more balanced strategy involving all available control technologies: testing, antiviral drugs, and vaccination will effectively end this pandemic.

Objetivo: Relatar sobre o cuidado do enfermeiro ao paciente com lesão musculoesquelética que vivencia a COVID-19. Metodologia: Abordagem qualitativa descritiva do tipo relato de experiência ocorrido entre os meses de março a julho de 2020, em um instituto nacional de referência para tratamento de Traumatologia e Ortopedia, localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Resultados e Discussão: A experiência pôde ser narrada por meio de três temas: Fluxo de atendimento e o perfil de pacientes atendidos; Complexidade do atendimento ao paciente com lesão musculoesquelética que vivencia a COVID-19; Novos desafios para a enfermagem ortopédica gerados pela pandemia da COVID-19.Conclusão: Na perspectiva da singularidade do cuidado, considerou-se complexo e desafiador cuidar  dos pacientes que vivenciam, duplamente, a lesão musculoesquelética e a COVID-19. Uma assistência de enfermagem especializada durante o tratamento mostrou-se imprescindível à medida que a ação do enfermeiro gera um forte elo com os pacientes, reforçando a adesão ao tratamento e contribuindo na redução dos quadros de complicações decorrentes da infecção por coronavírus.

Introdução: A morte independente da ocasião leva a sensação de luto. No que se refere ao óbito de um bebê esse processo altera a lei orgânica da vida, bem como impossibilita os propósitos, as expectativas, as promessas que normalmente são depositados ao bebê que está para chegar. Objetivo: Identificar através do estudo da arte as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas famílias diante da perda perinatal e descrever a importância da enfermagem no cuidado das famílias enlutadas. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo com abordagem qualitativa, do tipo revisão integrativa, que teve como base de dados a Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde Enfermagem usando os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Luto; Perinatal; Família; Enfermagem. Foram selecionados artigos completos, em língua portuguesa e inglesa publicados entre 2010 a 2020. Ao fim da aplicação dos critérios, emergiram 6 artigos para leitura minuciosa e construção do conteúdo. Resultados: Na análise de dados foram estabelecidas duas categorias: Categoria I – Famílias Enlutadas e Categoria II – A enfermeira frente à situação de luto perinatal. Considerações Finais: Conclui-se que o processo de luto é vivenciado por cada indivíduo de forma diferente e é importante saber respeitar a particularidade de cada um. É importante identificar precocemente sinais de alerta como estresse pós-traumático, ansiedade, depressão que podem influenciar negativamente em uma futura gestação, assim como em problemas no casamento.

Conhecer o crescimento do tomateiro e de seus frutos, medido através do acúmulo de biomassa ao longo do tempo, são fundamentais para o manejo adequado e a detecção de problemas no desenvolvimento das culturas. Este crescimento pode ser estudado por meio de vários modelos de regressão não linear que podem ser usados para facilitar a interpretação dos processos envolvidos no sistema de produção vegetal. Entre os modelos empíricos usados frequentemente para estimar o crescimento de plantas, e seus componentes, encontra-se a função logística. Um dos métodos utilizados para estimar os parâmetros das curvas de crescimento é o método bayesiano. Este estudo teve como objetivo aplicar a metodologia bayesiana na descrição dos dados – reais e simulados - de crescimento do diâmetro de tomates, utilizando o modelo não linear logístico. Os algoritmos para o amostrador de Gibbs e o Metropolis-Hastings foram implementados utilizando-se a linguagem R. A condição de convergência das cadeias foi verificada por meio do critério de Raftery & Lewis, que está disponível no pacote BOA (“Bayesian Output Analysis”) do software R. A metodologia bayesiana mostrou-se eficiente na estimação dos parâmetros da curva de crescimento, e as estimativas mostraram-se coerentes com os valores relatados na literatura.

Cheese consumption has shown an important increase throughout the Brazilian territory, being the second most    imported product since 2015. Among the different types of cheese, minas frescal represents one of the most popular, due to its simple processing, low cost and high yield. However, its perishability requires refrigeration and relatively fast consumption, thus representing an important limiting factor in commercialization. Aspects such as having a high moisture content, not undergoing maturation, and containing no preservatives, provide favorable conditions for microbiological contamination. Thus, it was aimed to assess the antimicrobial potential of the aqueous suspension of garlic (SAA), in fresh cheese before and after contamination Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) 105 CFU mL-1. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by microdilution, and the following treatments were evaluated in quintuplicate: SAa in freeze-dried and fresh forms (1.5; 2.5; 5; and 10%), negative control treatment (cheese absent contamination), and positive (cheese absent from SAa). After superficial inoculation in Agar Baird Parker, enriched with egg yolk and potassium tellurite, the incubation was performed at 35ºC for 48 hours. Although SAa in lyophilized and fresh form applied before contamination did not show antibacterial activity, the fresh form applied after contamination showed a MIC equivalent to 2.5%. So, based on the results obtained by the present study, it was possible to conclude that SAa above 2.5% had antimicrobial properties, thus favoring the conservation of fresh cheese.
