Authors: Ventura Carla Aparecida Arena , Brito Emanuele Seicenti de
Published: February 2023

Pesquisa descritiva com abordagem de dados qualitativa, que apresentou como objetivo identificar dificuldades sentidas por portadores de transtornos mentais atendidos em Centro de Atenção Psicossocial de município do interior paulista no exercício de seus direitos humanos. Utilizou-se entrevista semiestruturada na coleta de dados, cuja análise foi realizada com base na técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Percepção sobre o transtorno e sintomas vivenciados; discriminação sofrida e sentida; desrespeito aos direitos humanos; capacidade e necessidade de exercer a cidadania; importância de parceria entre profissionais e usuários; e cuidado humanizado foram as temáticas emergentes. Apesar dos direitos dos portadores de transtornos mentais não estarem garantidos pela Constituição Federal do Brasil e legislações esparsas, ainda há dificuldade para sua consolidação, especialmente devido à discriminação e falta de conhecimento dos próprios pacientes, o que dificulta o exercício efetivo da cidadania.

Published: February 2023

Apresenta a percepção de mães acerca do cuidado da criança em tratamento dialítico. Estudo exploratório descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvido em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil, no ano de 2009, com 15 mães que acompanhavam seus filhos em uma clínica de diálise. Os dados foram coletados por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada, analisados e agrupados em cinco categorias: conhecimento da doença, principais dificuldades, percepção do tratamento, significado de ter um filho com doença renal crônica e expectativas. Os resultados apontam que as mães carecem de informações adequadas sobre o real estado de saúde dos filhos, além de sofrerem exposição contínua a vários fatores causadores de estresse no cotidiano de cuidados com o filho doente. Essa realidade sinaliza a necessidade de implantação de medidas que incluam a família, em especial a mãe, em um plano de cuidados que abranja o amplo contexto emocional e biológico a que ela está exposta.
Nursing assistance in family planning: a challenging practice in Brazil
Authors: Ferreira Moura Escolástica Rejane
Published: February 2023

In Brazil, the assistance in family planning keeps the mark of nurses along its history. In 1960, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), created by nurse Margaret Sanger (1952), headquartered in London, came to finance entities that performed family planning in the country. Margaret Sanger led a group of nurses whose mission was to foster social and political reforms that would restore the nurses' practice. These Nursing leaders observed communities, identified health-related needs and priorities, establishing intervention measures whose lessons remain alive, such as dissemination of information on contraceptive methods, which is extremely important to the decision making of men and women in the reproduction field.

Self-determination: the key to successful weight loss and maintenance programs
Authors: Peregrin-Alvarez José M
Published: February 2023

While studies show that most people are not able to keep weight loss for the long-term, probably due to the lack of motivation, recent studies show that the effective choice and implementation of motivational strategies are fundamental to building up positive-thinking and long-term motivation, as well as succeeding at habit-formation. This manuscript provides qualitative research on the effect of motivation as a factor in behavioral interventions to reduce overweight or obesity, highlighting the importance of self- determination for succeeding in long-term weight loss and maintenance programs.
Influence of the Solvent on the Extraction of Phenolic Com-pounds from the Coffee Grounds by Soxhlet Leaching
Authors: Calle Chumo Rafael Norberto , Calle Chumo Diego Alejandro , Gallegos Peredo Aaron Sebastian , Jarrin Oseguera Pablo Isaac
Published: February 2023

In this study, phenolic compounds were extracted from the essential oil of coffee grounds originated in the coffee industry in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The selected method was Soxhlet leaching, with three types of solvents (methanol, ethanol, and hexane), in its conventional form (solid-liquid), with two polar solvents and one nonpolar solvent, and in four extraction periods (30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes). The highest phenolic concentration and the best associative capacity were obtained with ethanol as the solvent for extraction, while the use of methanol yielded the second-best results. The extraction performance regarding the coffee grounds oil obtained higher results when using methanol, but close values were obtained with ethanol. Methanolic extracts obtained from coffee grounds can cause the formation of undesirable substances and be responsible for the methanolysis of gallic depsides. Therefore, the solvent-assisted technique depends on the selectivity and affinity of the compounds, according to their polar covalent character, the molecular geometry of the solvent, its relationship with its dielectric constant, and the null generation of unwanted reactions during extraction.

Authors: Ustariz-Farfan A. J. , Cano-Plata E. A. , Tacca H. E.
Published: February 2023

This paper presents the results of a project which was aimed at developing a flexible visualisation tool to be used mainly by power system operators. The project concentrated on a technique for assessing the deterioration of power transfer quality in electrical networks based on the power tensor theory. One of the envisioned tool's essential goals was to aid system operators by providing images of the system with easily identifiable characteristics related to loss or overall deterioration of power quality. The result was a user-friendly, three-dimensional graphic interface. The tool's effectiveness has been illustrated via different scenarios created using the IEEE 13-bus test feeder as an example.

Contribution of Distributed Generation to Voltage Control
Authors: Arango-Manrique A. , Carvajal-Quintero S. , Arango-Aramburo S.
Published: February 2023

The power system operator must ensure a secure electricity supply, reliable and with quality while maintaining frequency and voltage profiles stable and within the ranges required by the specific regulations for each country. Voltage control and reactive-power management are two aspects of a single activity that both supports reliability and facilitates commercial transactions across transmission networks. Distributed Generation (DG) provides benefits for the voltage control because is located close to consumption centers, as well to helping congestion relief on the transmission and distribution grids. This paper presents an analysis about the pertinence of the implementation of distributed generation systems for voltage control service in the interconnected system in Colombia. This analysis is based through grid simulations in a fraction of the sub-region of the CQR with PowerWorld. The simulation considers low operating voltage levels because of the presence of inductive loads. The results show that by connecting Distributed Generation, voltage level increases and reduce power and reactive losses.
A review of producing hard coatings by means of duplex treatments using an electroplated coating-thermochemical treatment combination
Authors: Cifuentes Aya Héctor , Olaya Flórez Jhon Jairo
Published: February 2023

Duplex treatments have been developed to overcome the disadvantages presented by simple treatments to surfaces of different materials and have, in a combined and complementary way, the properties that each of these methods supplies individually. The difference between thermal expansion coefficients for Fe and Cr in hard chrome plating leads to crack formation in the deposited coat, through which corrosive agents migrate and reduce the system's integrity. Direct deposition by physical vapour deposition (PVD), used for obtaining chromium nitride films on steel substrates, is limited by high production costs, the low thickness obtained and low resistance to corrosion due to the presence of micro pores. Some studies have combined an electroplated chromium with thermochemical treatments made in a controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnaces or by plasma. This kind of duplex treatment allows compounds such as CrxN, CrxCyN and CrxCy to be obtained from chemical and micro structural transformation of chromium with nitrogen and/or carbon, the sealing of cracks in the coating and increasing the magnitude of properties like hardness and density, improving wear and abrasion and corrosion resistance.
Potential production of electricity from biogas generated in a sanitary landfill
Authors: Aguilar-Virgen Quetzalli , Taboada-González Paul , Ojeda-Benítez Sara
Published: February 2023

Energy forms the cornerstone of almost every economic, social and cultural sector in modern societies. Energy is regarded as an irreplaceable ingredient in such societies' industrial development. The aim of this research was to estimate the generation of biogas in the city of Ensenada's sanitary landfill to ascertain the amount of energy which could be generated from the solid waste being disposed of. Biogas estimates were conducted in two stages: a waste characterisation study followed by implementing the regulations proposed by SCS Engineers (SCS Engineers, 2009) regarding the Mexican biogas model (version 2.0). The results showed that a large quantity of organic matter (around 70%) is a key element in anaerobic degradation of waste. As to energy generation, it is believed that a full 1.90 MW capacity will be reached in 2019. Such energy could increase Ensenada's current electricity generation capacity by 3.46% and provide 60% of the energy needed for street lighting, thereby leading to USD $1.423 million in savings.
Analysis of a cascaded multilevel inverter with fault-tolerant control
Authors: Aguayo Alquicira Jesús , Sánchez Abraham Claudio , Vela Valdés Luis Gerardo , Rodríguez Marco Antonio , Vargas Méndez Rodolfo Amalio
Published: February 2023

Cascaded multilevel inverters are widely used in industry for speed control of induction motors and, even when the converters' operation is highly reliable, several faults can occur, leading to poor engine performance or even causing the whole system to stop. It is desirable to keep the system operational when a failure occurs, even when degraded, and implementing fault-tolerant systems are thus a good choice. This paper presents a general strategy for fault-tolerant control in a 7-level cascaded multilevel inverter (the faults are in semiconductor devices); the paper includes simulation and experimental results to validate the method.
Technical-parameter calculation model for underground low-power electrical lines and indoor installations used in telecommunications
Authors: Bastidas Mora Henry , Patiño Bernal Marlon , Ángel Castillo Gilma Inés
Published: February 2023

This article presents an analysis of electrical distribution theory for 60Hz-lines operating at low voltage, particularly underground lines and residential indoor installations. Such distribution lines' behaviour is observed as a function of frequency to consider any advantages regarding the potential use of power transmission lines (PTL) for transmitting telecommunication signals. A method for computing the secondary parameters is proposed which has been based on the primary parameters, namely inductance, capacitance, conductance and resistance. The secondary parameters so obtained were characteristic impedance, propagation constant (together with its real value) and the attenuation constant. Conductor configurations, insulation materials and gauges commonly used in Colombia were verified for such low-voltage lines. A mathematical model is proposed as a theoretical tool for analysing and predicting characteristic impedance pattern and the attenuations which occur at high frequencies, thereby complementing our group's previous work. Conclusions are drawn, together with a perspective regarding future work and applications.
Applying Tiab's direct synthesis technique to dilatant non-Newtonian/Newtonian fluids
Authors: Martínez Javier Andrés , Escobar Freddy Humberto , Cantillo José Humberto
Published: February 2023

Non-Newtonian fluids, such as polymer solutions, have been used by the oil industry for many years as fracturing agents and drilling mud. These solutions, which normally include thickened water and jelled fluids, are injected into the formation to enhanced oil recovery by improving sweep efficiency. It is worth noting that some heavy oils behave non-Newtonianly. Non-Newtonian fluids do not have direct proportionality between applied shear stress and shear rate and viscosity varies with shear rate depending on whether the fluid is either pseudoplastic or dilatant. Viscosity decreases as shear rate increases for the former whilst the reverse takes place for dilatants. Mathematical models of conventional fluids thus fail when applied to non-Newtonian fluids. The pressure derivative curve is introduced in this descriptive work for a dilatant fluid and its pattern was observed. Tiab's direct synthesis (TDS) methodology was used as a tool for interpreting pressure transient data to estimate effective permeability, skin factors and non-Newtonian bank radius. The methodology was successfully verified by its application to synthetic examples. Also, comparing it to pseudoplastic behavior, it was found that the radial flow regime in the Newtonian zone of dilatant fluids took longer to form regarding both the flow behavior index and consistency factor.
Detecting eccentricity faults in a PMSM in non-stationary conditions
Authors: Rosero García Javier , Romeral José Luis , Rosero García Esteban
Published: February 2023

Permanent magnet alternating current machines are being widely used in applications demanding high and rugged performance, such as industrial automation and the aerospace and automotive industries. This paper presents a study of a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) running in eccentricity; these machines' condition monitoring and fault detection would provide added value and they are also assuming growing importance. This paper investigates the effect of eccentricity faults on PMSM motors' current spectrum with a view to developing an effective condition-monitoring scheme using two-dimensional (2-D) finite element analysis (FEA). Stator current induced harmonics were investigated for fault conditions and advanced signal analysis involved continuous and discrete wavelet transforms. Simulation and experimental results are presented to substantiate that the proposed method worked over a wide speed range for motor operation and that it provided an effective tool for diagnosing PMSM operating condition.

Published: February 2023

The technical state of the damping elements for a vehicle having two-stage suspension was evaluated by using numerical models based on the multi-body system theory; a set of virtual tests used the eigenproblem mathematical method. A test was developed based on experimental modal analysis (EMA) applied to a physical system as the basis for validating the numerical models. The study focused on evaluating vehicle dynamics to determine the influence of the dampers' technical state in each suspension state.
A methodological approach to sugar mill diversification and conversion
Authors: Aguilar Rivera Noé , Galindo Mendoza María Guadalupe , Contreras Servín Carlos , Fortanelli Martínez Javier
Published: February 2023

Sugar industry diversification is complex, being constrained by biophysical and socioeconomic conditions. Ongoing work has shown the sugarcane industry's potential as biorefinery or its sustainable use by offering products as raw material. However, few studies have studied how such potential could be achieved by promoting a conventional sugar mill through integrating its indicators for developing an efficient diversified processing plant which would contribute towards fossil energy saving and competitiveness. This paper presents a conceptual framework for analysis based on existing knowledge regarding sugar industry state-of-the-art for evaluating diversification, using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) as a tool for analysing complex systems, identifying alternatives to the current situation and discussing them to facilitate collective decision-making. Sugar mill AHP scores enabled discussion about the variables most affecting sugar mill diversification (0.332 factory yield, 0.327 sugar mill products and 0.121 sugarcane quality). The results serve as a useful guidance for formulating strategies for the optimum use of by-products in a sugar mill while maximising benefits to modify/convert a traditional sugar mill to a so-called bio-refinery.
A classifier model for detecting pronunciation errors regarding the Nasa Yuwe language's 32 vowels
Authors: Naranjo Cuervo Roberto Carlos , Álvarez Vargas Gloria Inés
Published: February 2023

The Nasa Yuwe language has 32 oral and nasal vowels thereby leading to one being used instead of the other; such confusion can change the meaning of the spoken word in Nasa Yuwe. A set of classifier models have been developed to support correct learning of this language which is in danger of extinction aimed at detecting confusion in the pronunciation of the 32 vowels; about 85% were obtained after experimenting with a variety of linear and nonlinear classifiers, rates of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. A support software prototype was designed with these trained classifiers for the correct pronunciation of the language's vowels.
Considerations for generating and implementing technological strategies
Authors: Fonseca Rodríguez Sandra Lorena , Castellanos Oscar Fernando , Jiménez Hernandez Claudia Nelcy
Published: February 2023

Technology is increasingly considered to be a differentiating element leading to competitiveness becoming improved, thereby making it a basic component where efficient management is a key issue in both organisational planning and defining development policy. The managing and taking of decisions regarding technology requires a technology strategy to be generated through a systematic and structured process contributing towards its successful implementation. This article proposes a set of considerations for formulating and applying such strategy; it begins by posing a reference concept and then identifying some academic contributions which have been made in Colombia. Some Colombian cases are then presented referring to the topic at three levels: macro (country), meso (sector) and micro (company). A conceptual proposal called technological strategic octogram is the proposed as a result of this, covering topics such as the contextualising conceptual referents, methodological thoroughness and follow-up mechanisms for this type of processes.

Authors: Forero Longas Freddy , Vélez Pasos Carlos Antonio , Sandoval Aldana Angelica
Published: February 2023

Cholupa it's an exotic fruit that has excellent organoleptic characteristics but highly sensitive to thermal treatments. Fruit was harvested in commercial fields and for each process stage, the following physicochemical parameters were analyzed: soluble solids, pH, total solids, viscosity, and turbidity. Was used a Pellicon2® ultrafiltration system (10 kDa) with flat membranes and filtration area 0.5 m2, osmotic evaporator had a polypropylene hydrophobic hollow fiber module MD020CP2N® with area 0.104 m2. Prior to ultrafiltration, in order to obtain a higher permeate flow, juice was subjected to enzymatic treatment with commercial mixtures, found that doses of Maxoliva® (50 µl/100g) and Rapidase® (40 µl/100g) are best treatment, which had a significant effect (P<0.05) reducing the viscosity and increase soluble solids; in clarification process by ultrafiltration, permeate flux rate has a behavior that fulfills Darcy law, with 19.4 and 6.0 l m-2 h-1, as maximum and minimum, respectively. Finally, osmotic evaporation process produce a concentrate of 65.15±0.36 oBrix with homogeneous appearance, dark yellow color, which when it's reconstituted dissolves easily in water. The results show that ultrafiltration and osmotic evaporation proved to be effective and synergistic technologies to get a good quality concentrate, that preserve much original characteristics of juice. This is the first work reported about cholupa juice processing.
Experimentally obtaining on-line FRA in transformers by injecting controlled pulses
Authors: Gómez-Luna Eduardo , Aponte Guillermo , Herrera Wilder , Pleite Guerra Jorge
Published: February 2023

Transformer monitoring based on the operating condition (on-line test) has boomed in recent years because it allows early detection of risk situations or limitations regarding use to make appropriate decisions before a failure occurs. Frequency response analysis (FRA) is one of the most heavily researched techniques for on-line development; it is based on obtaining a transformer's frequency response (admittance, impedance or transfer function) in a given bandwidth. This paper presents an experimental method for obtaining the frequency response with the transformer in service by injecting controlled pulses of the voltage signal using an external electronic circuit. Once the voltage and current signals had been recorded, the wavelet transform was used via multi-resolution analysis (MRA) for filtering. This led to results being obtained without noise interference from the electrical system. The transfer function was obtained in terms of impedance, using the fast Fourier transform (FFT). The proposed method represented an alternative in solving some problems arising from the on-line FRA technique such as filtering and results' repeatability. The tests involved a 5-kVA 1150/345 V three-phase transformer and a 3-kVA, 7620/240 V single-phase transformer in the Universidad del Valle's High Voltage Laboratory.
An optimal algorithm for estimating angular speed using incremental encoders
Authors: Rairán Antolines José Danilo
Published: February 2023

This paper proposes a new algorithm using signals from an incremental encoder for estimating a rotating shaft's speed. This algorithm eliminated the oscillations appearing in classical fixed-time and fixed-space algorithms, even when speed was constant. A fixed-time algorithm measures angular displacement at fixed-time intervals, while a fixed-space algorithm measures time every fixed-angular displacement. Time and displacement measurements were used to generate estimations for speed. The new algorithm generated a unique value for estimating speed due to synchronising encoder pulses and a signal formed by impulses every time increase (delta). A first modification of the proposed algorithm was defined, resulting in the harmonic mean between these two proposed alternatives having the smallest relative error possible. This error was always smaller than half the error with fixed-time and fixed-space algorithms. Experimental setup and algorithms are shown, as well as Simulink results using signals acquired from an incremental encoder.

„O aryjskie chrześcijaństwo” – próba syntezy chrześcijaństwa i rasistowskiego nacjonalizmu w polemikach dziewiętnasto- i dwudziestowiecznych autorów niemieckich
Authors: Maleszka Mateusz
Published: February 2023

Since the days of activity of Paul De Lagarde (1827–1891) all over the united Germany there were raised voices calling for unification of Christianity with the German spirit by completion of the Lutheran revolution and purification of the Christian faith from Semitic elements. According to biological anti-Semites, the pressing problem was the issue of racial identity of Jesus. Making use of the findings of German oriental studies and using the arguments that belonged to the branch of biological anthropology, the German ideologues postulated some theses that allowed for a grotesque fusion of racist ideology and Luthera nism. In their opinion, it was mainly the Aryan blood that Jesus had in his veins. It was believed that Jesus might have been a descendant of either pre-Israelian communities of the Promised Land, or the Assyrians who conquered these territory in the 8th BC.

Published: February 2023

The article features the wealth of forms and contents of prints conventionally called “sanctuary prints”. These include compendia which are the guides to sacred places of the Polish Republic, peregrination literature, occasional prints (e.g. published on the occasion of the coronation of a miraculous image), homiletic forms (texts of sermons preached during the Marian holidays, image translation or coronation), the stories of sacred places and legends related to them, collections of miracles and graces, prayer books and texts of songs intended for the pilgrims. Interpretation possibilities of this type of texts were indicated. The presence of the Virgin Mary in a notional sphere of elites and masses identified clearly and permanently her place in Polish religiosity and the Marian cult has found particular expression in growing from the half of the 16th century, the adoration of the Marian images. Important from this perspective studies tend to portray multiple cultural phenomena available through the external manifestations of worship presented in the source material.

Matka Boska z Lepanto – opiekunka zwycięzców i pokonanych
Authors: Jacov Marko
Published: February 2023

The naval battle of Lepanto which took place in 1571 has been the symbol of the clash between a Christian and Mu­silm world till today; the clash which has been lasting for many centuries. It is seldom noticed that on both sides of the conflict fought soldiers who were united by deep reli­gious respect for Our Lady. Worshiping Jesus’ mother was deeply rooted among confessors of Islam and also Christi­ans. When John Paul II placed the letter “M” and the motto “Totus tuus” in his coat of arms he referred to this generality of faith and huge respect for Our Lady. The ease with which his pontificate realized the dialogue between religions seems to stay with harmony with the choice he made. Thanks to him it is possible to speak openly about delicate historic issues today, among other things about the battle of Lepanto which was a taboo in relations between Muslims and Chris­tians for ages.

Brecha digital y calidad de la educación universitaria Latinoamérica durante el Covid-19
Authors: Pirela-Espina William Alberto
Published: February 2023

El propósito del artículo fue realizar un estudio comparativo con los estudiantes y facilitadores del área de Contaduría Pública de la Universidad de Manizales (Colombia), la Universidad Ricardo Palma (Perú) y la Universidad Privada Dr. Rafael Belloso Chacín (Venezuela), fundamentado en sus reflexiones sobre la influencia de la brecha digital en la calidad de la educación universitaria durante la pandemia del covid-19. El trabajo fue de tipo exploratorio-descriptivo. Basado en un muestreo discrecional, utilizándose la encuesta online como técnica de recolección de datos. Los resultados revelan que los estudiantes han tenido que llevar a cabo mucha lectura y cumplir con diversos trabajos asignados para poder alcanzar los objetivos planificados, teniendo una mayor flexibilidad en el manejo del tiempo. Asimismo, los facilitadores no han tenido acceso a una actualización continua en el manejo de las herramientas tecnológicas y únicamente a través de la lectura sobre su uso han podido adquirir fortalezas y superar las barreras presentadas con el cambio a la modalidad virtual, por lo que consideran que ha sido deficiente la adaptabilidad de las instituciones. Se concluyó que los actores del proceso educativo no estaban preparados para el cambio a la virtualidad, y la brecha digital fue un factor determinante en la calidad de la educación universitaria en América Latina durante la pandemia del covid-19; razón por lo cual, resulta necesario potenciarlos en el aprovechamiento de las herramientas tecnológicas y digitales aplicadas al ámbito educativo y que permita generar mejoras en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.

Published: February 2023

El presente artículo presenta un análisis del papel de la autoeficacia en los procesos de planificación de la tarea y el desarrollo cognitivo en estudiantes colombianos de educación media. El estudio vinculó a estudiantes y profesores de diez instituciones rurales y urbanas de distintas regiones. Se utilizó la metodología mixta y se determinó un alcance exploratorio y descriptivo; se usaron dos instrumentos de recolección de datos: un cuestionario a estudiantes y una entrevista semiestructurada a docentes y estudiantes, dichas entrevistas aplicadas a través de grupos focales.

Entre los resultados más importantes se destaca el autoconcepto positivo del estudiante como un aspecto fundamental a la hora de enfrentar la tarea; la convicción sobre sus capacidades genera un impacto importante en su motivación y empoderamiento activo frente a los procesos de análisis y planificación de cada una de sus actividades académicas, lo que repercute de manera muy positiva en su desarrollo cognitivo. Se evidenció que, cuando los aprendices conocen las capacidades que tienen al enfrentarse a una actividad, crece su concepto de autoeficacia y, por lo tanto, su motivación y autorregulación, con lo que pueden establecer el rumbo y las estrategias que mejor convengan para el alcance de sus objetivos de aprendizaje.

This study aimed to describe the characteristics of elderly people abuse notifications by gender and to assess notification patterns according to gender. We analyzed data from the Brazilian Information System for Notificable Diseases (SINAN) in 2017. We carried out a descriptive analysis of victim characteristics, violence, and the probable perpetrator according to gender. Pearson’s χ2 test was used to assess the significance between groups. Then, we verified the main relationships between the studied characteristics and the victim’s gender by simple correspondence analysis (SCA). Thus, 17,311 cases/suspicions of elderly people abuse were notified, corresponding to 7.2% of the total number of violence notifications. Of these victims, 50.4% were white, 42.3% were married, and 17.2% had a disability/disorder; 76.9% occurred at home, 62.8% included physical violence, and 49.5% were cases of repeated violence. Most perpetrators were men (62%), and violence by two or more perpetrators was observed in 62.8% of the cases. SCA evidenced inequalities in older adults’ gender, which proved to be higher among women. Physical violence was the most common among younger and old individuals, whereas neglect/abandonment tended to occur more frequently among the oldest individuals, and was most often committed by daughters. In sum, this study demonstrated evidence of gender-based violence, especially among older adults. Disability proved to be an essential characteristic for neglect/abandonment in older adults. In this context, policies are needed to reduce gender inequalities and implement a care network for older adults who are victims of violence.

ABSTRACT: Hop is a multifunctional specie; however, a large part of its production is destined for the beer market. In Brazil, all hop demand is imported, which has aroused interest in national production. Genetic material and cultivation systems can influence hops production. Thus, this study evaluated morphological and productive performance of hop varieties grown under organic and conventional management in the central-west region of São Paulo, Brazil. The hop yard was installed in the experimental area of the FCA/UNESP (São Paulo State University, School of Agriculture) - Botucatu, in November 2018, the data were collected in second year of production. A randomized block design was adopted, in 2 x 5 Split-Plot, being the main factor: cultivation systems (organic and conventional), and secondary factor: hop varieties (Columbus, Chinook, Nugget, Cascade, and HallertauMittelfrüeh), with four blocks and four plants per plot. Crop-specific morphological and productive parameters were evaluated. The results showed no significant influence of cultivation systems in morphological parameters. Regarding the varieties, Chinook, Cascade, and Nugget stand out for cone length. Columbus, Chinook and Cascade showed higher yields when grown in organic system, obtaining 1100.66, 1088.27 and 940.40 g of cones per plant, respectively. While, HallertauMittelfrüeh variety was the least productive in both systems, in organic system with 160.50 g per plant production, and 267.84 g per plant in conventional system, and, also showing lower cycle compared to the others.

Abstract Background Determination of predictors that can affect development of atherosclerosis progression in the postoperative period is an urgent problem in vascular surgery. Objectives Integrated assessment of markers of apoptosis and cell proliferation in atherosclerotic lesions and their progression after surgery in patients with peripheral arterial diseases. Methods The investigation included 30 patients with stage IIB-III peripheral arterial disease. All patients have undergone open surgical interventions on the arteries of the aorto-iliac and femoral-popliteal segments. During these interventions, intraoperative specimens were obtained from the vascular wall with atherosclerotic lesions. The following values were evaluated: VEGF А165, PDGF BB, and sFas. Samples of normal vascular wall were obtained from post-mortem donors and used as a control group. Results The levels of Bax and p53 were increased (p<0.001) in samples from arterial wall with atherosclerotic plaque, while sFas values were reduced (p<0.001), compared to their levels in control samples. Values of PDGF BB and VEGF A165 were 1.9 and 1.7 times higher in atherosclerotic lesion samples (p=0.001), in comparison with the control group. The levels of p53 and Bax were increased against a background of reduced sFas levels in samples with progression of atherosclerosis compared to their baseline values in samples with atherosclerotic plaque (p<0.05). Conclusions Initially increased values of the Bax marker against a background of reduced sFas values in vascular wall samples from patients with peripheral arterial disease is associated with risk of atherosclerosis progression in the postoperative period.
Occurrence of intersexuality in Mugil curema from an estuary of the North coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil - case report

ABSTRACT This study describes the occurrence of reproductive changes in a mullet (Mugil curema) from the Babibtonga Bay, Santa Catarina. Gross and microscopic findings indicated changes in the reproductive system that were characterized by the presence of both male and female gonads, nearing sexual maturity, which was compatible with the diagnosis of intersex. It was not possible to identify predisposing factors that may have contributed to the development of this condition. However, as this species of fish may have their reproductive development affected by anthropogenic influence, it is important to permanently monitor this kind of environment. Considering the number of fish belonging to this species that was examined (n=433), the estimated prevalence for intersexuality was 0.23% (confidence interval: 0.00 to 0.68%, with confidence level of 95%). The findings in this study support the diagnosis of intersexuality in M. curema from the Babitonga Bay, which is the first documented case of this condition in this species on the coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil.

ABSTRACT In a randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the effects of five oral electrolyte solutions (OESs) with different compositions of water, electrolyte, and acid-base balances of diarrheal neonatal calves. Osmotic diarrhea and dehydration were induced with sucrose in milk, spironolactone, and hydrochlorothiazide for 48 h in thirty 10-day old Holstein healthy calves with 43.5 ± 3.80 kg BW who were fed with natural milk. They were allocated to five treatment groups (n=6) based on the administered OES (commercial: OES A, B, C, D; and non-commercial: OES UEL). On the day of treatment, the calves received 6L of OES in two doses apart from milk intakes. Venous blood samples were collected at -48h (start of induction), -24h, 0h (start of the treatment day), 8h, 16h, 24h, 48h, and 72h. TPP, glucose, D-lactate, L-lactate, pH, pCO2, HCO3 -, BE, Na+, K+, Cl-, SID3, SIG, AG, Atot and percentage change in plasma volume (%PV) were measured or calculated and analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA. All the calves developed osmotic diarrhea, mild to moderate dehydration, hyponatremia, relative hyperchloremia, and moderate to severe metabolic acidosis. The tested OESs were well accepted by the calves and effective in reversing dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic acidosis. OES D did not completely correct hyponatremia, and SEO B caused transient hyperglycemia. It has been concluded that all the tested OESs are safe and effective for the treatment of diarrhea in calves with moderate degrees of dehydration and metabolic acidosis, which indicates that they have proper compositions for this purpose.
