For 2010 - 2018 the role of sunflower in the agricultural production of the region has increased significantly, due to the high payback of this crop. Against the background of expanding acreage and yield growth, there is a significant increase in gross harvest of oilseeds. However, a high level of supply slows down the growth rates of the selling price and the efficiency of the industry. As a result, it is necessary to search for reserves to increase the profitability of sunflower oil seed production in the region. In order to study the influence of a number of factors on the profitability of sunflower production, agricultural organizations of the Ulyanovsk region carried out a correlation and regression analysis. The sample was carried out on 74 organizations involved in the cultivation of sunflower. The quantitative characteristics obtained in the course of the correlation-regression study indicate a significant impact on the efficiency of the industry on the level of yield of sunflower. Thus, with an increase in crop yield by 1 centners per hectare, the profitability of production increases by 2.11 percentage points. Seed costs and selling prices have a significant impact on the growth of profitability of sunflower production. With an increase in the selling price of 1 rub. The industry’s efficiency increases by an average of 0.11 ppt. Increase in the share of seed costs in total production costs by 1 percentage point leads to an increase in the effective trait by 0.1 percentage points. The dynamic development of sunflower oil seed production in the region is possible only on the basis of the activation of innovative processes that affect the efficiency and competitiveness of the industry. A possible innovation in the development of the oilseeds production and storage system in the absence of its own modern elevator capacities is the use of prefabricated storage facilities, the system of which provides for active ventilation, air cooling, and product quality control.

The role of depreciation in an enterprise can be represented as a source of reproduction of fixed capital and a share of the cost of production. The study of sources of financing for the processes of renewal and modernization of agriculture is considered on the example of the Republic of Tatarstan. In the agricultural sphere, the problem of the targeted use of depreciation funds is aggravated by the difficult financial situation of many agricultural producers, which reduces the amount of funds allocated for the reproduction of fixed capital. The market of agricultural machinery requires serious financial investments and improvement of the mechanism of technical support of the agroindustrial complex. One of the ways to improve this issue is the revision of depreciation methods. In Russia, for a long time, only a uniform depreciation method was used based on the useful life, when the values of fixed assets are repaid evenly over their entire service life, we propose the use of accelerated depreciation.
In this regard, the purpose of the publication is to study the changes in the share of depreciation used on investments in the total amount of accrued depreciation and to propose measures to improve the reproduction of fixed capital. The analysis showed that in the Republic of Tatarstan over the past 5 years, only about 30% of the accrued depreciation deductions are sent by farmers to invest in fixed capital. According to the results of the analysis, the idea of increasing the role of depreciation deductions as a source of renewal and modernization of agricultural equipment through the system of state support and the accumulation of depreciation deductions in the form of money on deposit or special accounts in banks was considered. A scheme for the functioning of the regional depreciation fund and its controls are proposed. The introduction of a mechanism to increase the role of depreciation as a source of financing will ensure the growth and modernization of agricultural technical support through a system of targeted use of depreciation funds.

Financial Condition and Solvency of Russian Business in Modern Conditions
Authors: Лысенко И. , Lysenko I.
Published: May 2019

Financial condition of the enterprise determines solvency and competitiveness of the enterprise, its potential in business cooperation, is the guarantor of effective realization of economic interests of all participants of economic activity. Optimization of the financial condition of the enterprise is one of the main conditions for its successful development in the future.

The financial condition of the enterprise, its stability and stability depend on the results of its production, commercial and financial activities. If the production and financial plans are successfully implemented, it has a positive impact on the financial position of the enterprise. Conversely, as a result of the failure to fulfill the plan for the production and sale of products, there is an increase in its cost, a decrease in revenue and the amount of profit, and as a consequence, the deterioration of the financial condition of the enterprise and its solvency.

The article analyzes the dynamics of statistical indicators characterizing the financial condition of Russian enterprises in the period 2010-2018. The branch structure of distribution of the profitable companies is described. Indicators of solvency of national business in the conditions of macroeconomic instability are investigated.

Published: May 2019

The aim of this study was to describe environmental factors that motivate public park use according to users’ sociodemographic characteristics. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2014/2015 in a park in the city of Florianopolis, Brazil. A face-to-face interview was performed, including sociodemographic data and environmental factors that stimulate park use. Descriptive analysis, chi-square and Z-tests were used to compare the proportions between groups, adopting a significance level of p < 0,05. The sample included 377 park users, aged 18 years or older (59.7% women). The architectural beauty of structures, geographic location, technological factors, normative policies, values and attitudes were reported as the main factors that motivate park use (p < 0.05). The presence of equipment and public programs in parks were more frequently mentioned as motivational factors for park use among women than men (p < 0.05). Architectural structures and notice boards and posters had higher proportions among users who had an elementary and high school level (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the existing environmental factors seem to have an impact on the motivation for park use, changing according to users’ sociodemographic aspects.
Buyer Uncertainty About Seller Capacity: Causes, Consequences, and a Partial Solution
Authors: Horton John J.
Published: May 2019

Employers in an online labor market often pursue workers with little capacity to take on more work. The pursuit of low-capacity workers is consequential, as these workers are more likely to reject employer inquires, causing a reduction in the probability that a job opening is ultimately filled. In an attempt to shift more employer attention to workers with greater capacity, the market-designing platform examined in this paper introduced a new signaling feature into the market. It was effective, in that when a worker signaled having high capacity, he or she received more invitations from employers, rejected a smaller fraction of those invitations, quoted lower prices to do the work, and was more likely to be hired. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests the signaling feature alone could increase market surplus by as much as 6%, both by increasing the number of matches formed and by helping to allocate projects to workers with lower costs.

Zinc Adsorption in Relation to Soil Properties, Analysed with Langmuir and Freundlich Models in Soils of Kashmir Valley
Authors: Sadat Syed , Rehman N. Z. , Bhat M. A. , Wani M.A.
Published: May 2019

The phenomenon of fixation of added zinc in soils considerably affects the availability and efficiency of applied zinc. Pertaining to this situation, different land-use soil samples across the valley were analysed for various physico-chemical properties and adsorption capacities. The results showed that the soils were slightly acidic to alkaline in reaction and differ far and wide in other soil properties. Cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soils showed little variation between the samples and varied from13.3 to 17.2 cmol(p+) kg-1 with an average value of 15.1 cmol(p+) kg-1of soil. The maximum of zinc adsorption were greatly influenced by soil organic matter, clay content and CEC of the soils. The data was fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich equations and the results yielded that the Freundlich equation showed better fit to the sorption data at higher zinc concentrations. However, both the models were having satisfactory results for the obtained data.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and soaking time on vitamin C, carotenoid, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content for optimizing the pre-treatment for minimal processing of bitter melon slices and to evaluate its shelf life at different storage conditions. Fresh-cut bitter melon slices were given post-cutting treatment of wash solution containing NaClO(25-500ppm) and H2O2 (1-5%) solution for different time intervals (10-120 minutes). The treated samples were analyzed for Vitamin C content, carotenoid, DPPH inhibition activity, ABTS inhibition activity and total phenolic content (TPC) using Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD). The optimum condition for soaking achieved by CCRD was NaClO (25 ppm), H2O2 (1%) and soaking time (56.32 min). The minimally processed bitter melon at optimized wash water treatment was packed in LDPE pouch of 0.1 mm thickness and were evaluated for shelf-life under modified atmospheric packaging, MAP 1 (5% O2, 25% CO2 & 70% N2) and MAP 2(10% O2, 20% CO2 & 70% N2) stored at temperature of 5, 20 and 35°C, respectively. Based on the microbiological, colour and textural analysis, MAP 1 was found to be better compared to MAP 2 and the shelf-life of fresh-cut bitter melon slices was prolonged up to twenty-eight days of storage.
Study of Seed Germination and Enzyme Metabolism during Allelopathic Interaction of Trianthemaportulacastrum L and Fenugreek Seeds
Authors: Patil Pooja , Agnihotri Swarupa
Published: May 2019

In the fields, it is commonly observed that fenugreek plants are not growing to their maturity in the vicinity of TrianthemaportlacastrumL. In this context, the present study was conducted in the laboratory to observe allelopathic interaction between Trianthemaand fenugreek. Aqueous extracts of seed, stem and leaf of Trianthemawere made. Treatment of these aqueous extracts was given to fenugreek seeds. Germination study was performed by using Petri plates. All the experiments were performed in triplicates. Pre-treatment of aqueous extracts of seed, stem and leaf of Trianthema. had caused a decline in germination percentage, fresh weight, radical and coleoptile length of fenugreek seeds when compared to untreated seeds. At the same time, mean germination time was found to be more in pre-treated seeds compared to control seeds. After 24 hrs of treatment, the enzymatic study was performed. Enzymes from antioxidant metabolism such as peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and activity of DPPH was reduced in treated seeds than control seeds. The activity of catalase was increased after treatment of leachates. All the data is graphically presented with the standard deviation. Exogenous treatment of aqueous extracts of Trianthemahas caused variation in saponin content of fenugreek seeds. This observation was recorded by using finger prints of HPTLC. Finger prints showed that content of saponin was also declined in treated seeds as compared to control. All these observations indicate the strong negative influence of Trianthemaon growth and metabolism of fenugreek.

Published: May 2019

O presente artigo visa a estudar as medidas cautelares pessoais e a fundamentação necessária para sua decretação pelo julgador no contexto do Estado Democrático de Direito. Para tanto, demonstrou-se as alterações advindas com a Lei 12.403/2011, a positivação de medidas substitutivas à prisão, tornando-se esta medida de ultima ratio. Constatou-se que o requisito e os fundamentos para verificar a necessidade e adequação da prisão preventiva são os mesmos para que se possa impor restrições à liberdade – medidas alternativas do art. 319 CPP – antes da sentença penal condenatória definitiva. Buscou-se delimitar o papel das partes e do juiz no Estado Democrático de Direito, bem como compreender os princípios que constituem o modelo constitucional de processo – contraditório, ampla argumentação, terceiro imparcial e fundamentação das decisões, levando em consideração as especificidades do processo penal – princípio acusatório e presunção de inocência.

INCIDENTE DE RESOLUÇÃO DE DEMANDAS REPETITIVAS: ASPECTOS GERAIS E ADMISSIBILIDADE NO TJDFT, TJSP, TJRJ, TJRS e TJPR
Authors: Wambier Luiz Rodrigues , Rodrigues Dayane Venâncio De Oliveira
Published: May 2019

Diante do perfil individual impresso na legislação processual de 1973, a massificação das ações individuais e coletivas repetitivas revelou a necessidade de alteração em sua forma de racionalização e julgamento. As reformas realizadas não foram suficientes para amenizar a instabilidade da jurisprudência, que concorre para o problema. No Código de Processo Civil/15, o incidente de resolução de demandas repetitivas foi contemplado com o fim identificar e resolver, perante os tribunais, a tese jurídica em demandas de massa. Os legitimados ou o magistrado requererão a admissão do incidente e, se aceito, implicará na suspensão dos processos idênticos até o julgamento da matéria de direito objeto da controvérsia. A decisão servirá para os demais casos com a mesma controvérsia jurídica, suspensos ou futuros. Objetiva-se a diminuição do quantitativo de processos repetitivos, a racionalidade no julgamento, a preservação da isonomia e a efetivação da segurança jurídica. Além de o instituto colaborar para a pacificação social, pela superação da divergência jurisprudencial quanto à determinada tese jurídica, espera-se que evite lides repetitivas, pela orientação da sociedade e do Poder Público a respeito da tese fixada, adequando-se a ela os padrões comportamentais e sociais.
TAX PLANNING IN BRAZIL: LEGAL REASONING AND CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS IN BRAZILIAN SUPREME COURT
Authors: Gomes Marcus Livio , Pimentel Érico
Published: May 2019

As in many countries around the world, the debate about tax planning concerns its limits, and there is a clash between two perspectives on the subject. On the one hand, there is a traditional perspective, whose advocates argue for the need to preserve the legal security of the taxpayer and the use of a more formalist interception method of tax rules. On the other side is the contemporary perspective, which seeks to balance the need to protect the taxpayer against abuse of tax authorities, but without neglecting the fact that the taxpayer sometimes practices abusive tax planning. At the center of this debate is the Federal Supreme Court (STF), a Brazilian constitutional court, which will examine the constitutionality of the sole paragraph of Article 116 of the National Tax Code, which for some academics is considered the Brazilian GAAR. The present paper aims to introduce and analyze some landmark points of the debate in Brazil, highlighting the legal reasoning deployed in this debate and the challenges for de constitutional process.

Authors: Al-Obaidi Bilal , Babu Satish , Al-Hadithy Nawfal
Published: May 2019

Smartphones have become a mainstream feature in medicine since the introduction of the Apple iPhone in 2007. Over the last decade they have taken on increasing prominence with multiple uses in daily practice. They have long been used for group messaging and accessing patient's electronic records while mobile. More recently, however, smartphones have allowed clinicians to improve patient assessment in clinic and manage follow-up appointments remotely. Furthermore they have been used to aid procedural tasks in surgery and provide a medium for simulation training for junior doctors. The role of smartphones in the future is predicted to increase exponentially and there will no doubt be countless further roles for them in the ever-expanding field of orthopaedics.

Rethinking Cluster-based Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: KANELLOPOULOS DIMITRIS
Published: May 2019

A wireless sensor network (WSN) can be employed in many application areas such as traffic control and industrial automation. In WSNs, clustering achieves energy efficiency and scalable performance. A cluster is formed by several sensors nodes, and one of them is elected as cluster-head (CH). A CH collects information from the cluster members and sends aggregated sensed data to the base station (BS) or another CH. The main task of a routing protocol in a WSN is to forward these sensed data to the BS. This paper analyses the advantages of cluster-based routing protocols vs. flat routing protocols in WSNs.

e-WOM: Review and a New Conceptualisation
Authors: Agarwal Ridhi , Singh Ramendra
Published: May 2019

Electronic word of mouth or e-WOM has gained a lot of salience in marketing literature. However, the conceptualisation of e-WOM in the literature has often relied on past practices in e-WOM generation and use. For example, in the previous few decades, several studies that have used
e-WOM to predict future sales/revenue of products and services have conceptualised e-WOM with similar factors such as volume, valence and dispersion of e-WOM, while only adapting it to their research context. In this article, we critique extant conceptualisations of e-WOM, and make a case
of moving beyond a uni-dimensional perspective of conceptualising e-WOM and argue for the inclusion of the quality of individual posts/comments in measuring e-WOM. We argue that new conceptualisation of e-WOM must also consider the language, emotions and content of the e-WOM messages. Keeping
this in mind, an alternative conceptualisation of e-WOM is offered.
Measuring Customer-based Brand Equity of Tourism Destinations: Just a Matter of Scale?
Authors: Leicht Thomas
Published: May 2019

An increasing number of measurement scales has been developed in order to measure the customer-based brand equity of tourism destination (CBBETD) brands. However, there is a lack of theoretical development about the measurement of brand equity in such a context. A review of recent approaches
shows that most contributions selectively focus on specific cases and tourists as stakeholders, while most articles demonstrate little methodological or conceptual reflexivity. Considering the variety and complexity of places, the paper argues that measuring place brand equity requires an
inductive exploration of the construct's dimensionality for the specific place under consideration. Research can then focus on comparing multiple places associated with similar product or service offerings. Cross-place assessments should compare similar territorial entities, but include more
destinations located in different spatial-cultural contexts. Furthermore, the inclusion of more stakeholders (e.g.,local residents) and more longitudinal comparisons are required to make the findings more meaningful.
Gender in local television news presentation: An analysis of TV news markets in the US Northwest
Authors: Craig Karly , Hallaq Tom
Published: May 2019

Television news anchors and reporters have become trusted guests in American households. An important factor regarding television news presentations is who presents the news to the audience, whether as an anchor or reporter. This study compared large and small market newscasts to explore connections or variations between markets regarding gender representation as news personalities in the northwest region of the US. Two specific research questions were developed to guide this study and three hypotheses were formed based on findings significant to recent research. Using a content analysis to analyse 119 news stories and packages from a total of 397 samples from 26 newscasts, this study’s results from the northwest indicate no significant difference between female and male news reporters in presenting both soft and hard news stories. Our results reveal no gender-vertical segregation – males and females more frequently present news stories that do not stereotypically match their gender.
The Rome Mosque and Islamic Centre: A Case of Diasporic Architecture in the Globalized Mediterranean
Authors: Van Loan Theodore , Troelenberg Eva-Maria
Published: May 2019

This article’s reading of Paolo Portoghesi’s and Sami Mousawi’s Mosque and Islamic Centre in Rome (1975–95) offers an understanding of its visual program as one that can be productively framed under the concept of diaspora, a condition that evokes movement and non-linearity, and one that undermines fixity to geographical borders and cultural heritage. The first section analyses various visual elements of the mosque and the tangle of temporalities they evoke, ranging from high modernism to postmodernist historical quotation, to living craft traditions of the Islamic world. The visual program is also conceptually tied to an idea of the Mediterranean as a geographical space between classicism and orientalism. These findings are then put into conversation with the current historiographical conditions within the study of ‘global art’ and then more specifically with the modern study of Islamic architecture. The Rome mosque is thus seen as a test case with which to provoke new methodologies in the study of twentieth-century Islamic architecture. In the last section the concept of diaspora is introduced as a means by which to situate a monument that appears on the periphery of both the history of modern architecture and the history of Islamic architecture.

Atmosphere in radio and architecture: Using The Revenge radio play in interdisciplinary teaching as a means to understand notions of abstraction and the tensions between materiality and immateriality in building physical and imagined spaces
Authors: Karathanasopoulou Evi
Published: May 2019

This article reflects upon an innovative international teaching collaboration between scholars and students in radio studies and architecture. In particular it presents an analysis of some of my work with a group of first-year architecture students in a workshop co-designed with two of their architecture lecturers, Dimitra Pavlakou and Athanasios Zagorisios. The focus of the workshop was Andrew Sachs’ binaural radio play The Revenge (1978). The aim was to investigate the relationship between perception and representation and to help students understand notions of scale, materiality, structure and form. The questions raised by the workshop concerned the degree of abstraction that penetrates the above relationships. This article offers an analysis of some of the student work that derived from that workshop. It looks at how our understanding of the core architectural concepts of materiality and immateriality might be subverted when considered through radio theory and practice. The idea of Atmosphere is used as a core concept crucial to both radio and architecture. Atmosphere is considered as an immaterial, abstract notion deriving from the material hypostasis of a building or a highly constructed audio story-world. Abstraction is considered as a notion that allows for atmosphere to be created in radio and architecture. Atmosphere and abstraction finally emerge as interdisciplinary concepts, connecting architecture and radio through the idea of space; the latter seen as a construct both material and immaterial, defined and yet in many ways free.

In recent decades we have witnessed unprecedented progress in the field of the developmental biology of mammals. Building on 20th century discoveries, we have managed to increase our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing early mammalian embryogenesis and link them to other biological questions, such as stem cells, regeneration, cancer, or tissue and organ formation. Consequently, it has also led to a creation of a completely new branch of reproductive medicine, i.e. assisted reproductive technology (ART). In this Special Issue of The International Journal of Developmental Biology (Int. J. Dev. Biol.) we wished to review state-of-the-art research regarding early mammalian development, from fertilization up to the implantation stage, and discuss its potential meaning for practical applications, including ART. As an introduction to the issue we present a compilation of short essays written by the most renowned scientists in the field, working both in basic and clinical research. The essays are dedicated to the greatest breakthroughs and challenges of 21st century developmental biology and reproductive medicine.
Regulation of the cell cycle in early mammalian embryos and its clinical implications
Authors: Radonova Lenka , Svobodova Tereza , Anger Martin
Published: May 2019

Early embryonic development is characterized by a plethora of very complex and simultaneously operating processes, which are constantly changing cellular morphology and behaviour. After fertilization, blastomeres of the newly created embryo undergo global epigenetic changes and simultaneously initiate transcription from the zygotic genome and differentiation forming separate cell lineages. Some of these mechanisms were extensively studied during the last several decades and valuable insight was gained into how these processes are regulated at the molecular level. We have, however, a still very limited understanding of how multiple events are coordinated during rapid development of an early mammalian embryo. In this review, we discuss some aspects of early embryonic development in mammals, namely the fidelity of chromosome segregation and occurrence of aneuploidy, as well as the clinical applications of cell cycle monitoring in human embryos.
FGF/ERK signaling pathway: how it operates in mammalian preimplantation embryos and embryo-derived stem cells

Published: May 2019

The integration of extracellular signals and lineage-specific transcription factors allows cells to react flexibly to their environment, thus endowing the mammalian embryo with the capacity of regulative development. The combination of genetic and pharmacological tools allowing disruption of the fibroblast growth factor / extracellular signal-regulated kinase (FGF/ERK) pathway, together with animal models expressing lineage-specific reporters provided new insights into the role of this signaling cascade during mammalian development, as well as in embryo-derived stem cells. Here, we combine current knowledge acquired from different mammalian models to consider the universality of this cascade in specifying cellular fate across mammalian species.
Beyond the mouse: non-rodent animal models for study of early mammalian development and biomedical research

Published: May 2019

The preimplantation development of mammals generally follows the same plan. It starts with the formation of a totipotent zygote, and through consecutive cleavage divisions and differentiation events leads to blastocyst formation. However, the intervening events may differ between species. The regulation of these processes has been extensively studied in the mouse, which displays some unique features among eutherian mammals. Farm animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep and rabbits share several similarities with one another, and with the human developmental plan. These include the timing of epigenetic reprogramming, the moment of embryonic genome activation and the developmental time-frame. Recently, efficient techniques for genetic modification have been established for large domestic animals. Genome sequences and gene manipulation tools are now available for cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, and a larger number of genetically engineered livestock is now accessible for biomedical research. Yet, these animals still make up less than 0.5% of animals in research, mainly due to our inadequate knowledge of the processes responsible for pluripotency maintenance (to date no stable naïve embryonic stem cell lines have been established) and early development. In this review, we highlight our present knowledge of the key preimplantation events in the 3 non-rodent species which present the highest potential for biomedical research related to early embryonic development: cattle, which offer an excellent model to study human in vitro embryo development, pigs which emerge as models to study the long-term effects of gene-based therapies and rabbits, which in many aspects of embryology resemble the human.
Computational models for the dynamics of early mouse embryogenesis

Published: May 2019

Early embryonic development, from the zygote to the blastocyst, is a paradigm of a dynamic, self-organised process. It involves gene expression, mechanical interactions between cells, cell division and inter- and intracellular signalling. Imaging and transcriptomic data have significantly improved our understanding of early embryogenesis in mammals. However, they also reveal a great level of complexity. How the genetic, mechanical, and regulatory processes interact to ensure reproducible development is thus much investigated by computational modelling, which allows a dissection of the mechanisms controlling cell fate decisions. In this review, we discuss the main types of modelling approaches that have been used to investigate the dynamics of preimplantation mammalian development. We also discuss the insights provided by modelling into our understanding of the specification processes leading to the three types of cells in the embryo 4.5 days after fertilization: the trophectoderm, the epiblast and the primitive endoderm.
Multiplying embryos: experimental monozygotic polyembryony in mammals and its uses
Authors: Casser Ellen , Israel Steffen , Boiani Michele
Published: May 2019

Monozygotic (MZ) polyembryony is a strategy to increase the output of a single zygote, thereby producing more offspring from a limited number of oocytes. However, MZ twins and multiples (multiplets) of mammals occur rarely in nature, while their generation has been more successful experimentally. In this work, we review some of the methodological, biological and field aspects of experimental MZ polyembryony in mammals. First attempts of mechanical bisection of 2-cell stage rodent embryos provided a proof-of-principle for the survival and independent development of both blastomeres. Subsequently, experiments in other species, particularly sheep and bovine, allowed 2 methods of embryo multiplication to become routine: the separation or biopsy of blastomeres from cleavage-stage embryos and the bisection of morulae and blastocysts. We discuss how the preferable stage of bisection and the success rate can be species-specific. The scope that profited most from experimental MZ polyembryony is the production of additional copies of elite livestock individuals, the reduction of interindividual variation in test groups and the possibility of investigating discordant phenotypic traits in the same genomic background, for instance, comparing an affected twin with its healthy co-twin. By contrast, the original motivation for experimental polyembryony – efficiently generating more offspring out of the same zygote – has not been fulfilled yet. Although embryo splitting leads to an increase in quantity, there is a loss of embryo quality, thus, there is no real gain from artificially generated embryos (yet) in the field of medically assisted reproduction. In conclusion, mammalian zygotes have the regulative capacity to be polyembryonic, but this is not obligate.
HEREDITARY FRUCTOSE INTOLERANCE IN A PEDIATRIC CONTEXT

Published: May 2019

Carbohydrate intolerance is relatively common in childhood, but its diagnosis and management are still quite precarious. Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is an autosomal recessive disease that results in deficiency of the enzyme aldolase B, which contributes to the onset of gastrointestinal and metabolic symptoms, triggered by the ingestion of foods high in fructose, sucrose or sorbitol. Methodology: For the accomplishment of such a study a search of the literature was done from August to September of the year 2018 with publication period of a maximum of 10 years. The theoretical reference was elaborated through the collection of relevant scientific articles on the subject, made in the electronic databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Pubmed, EBSCOhost and CAPES, from descriptors generated by DeCS: "Fructose Intolerance"; "Child" and its correspondents in English. Thus, 81 articles were obtained and, from the title of the literature and its abstracts, were used. 19 Ademias, articles that were related to the topics covered in this study or whose sample was not composed by humans were also discarded. The diagnosis of HFI is based on the suggestive clinical picture initiated after the ingestion of the fructose, sucrose and sorbitol already mentioned, associated with the use of invasive and noninvasive examinations, but the confirmation is based on the response to the improvement of the symptoms after the restriction of the ingestion of such food, which constitutes the best therapy. Conclusion: Based on the consequences of inadequate management of HFI, it is of fundamental importance that the affected children have an early diagnosis, associated with an adequate nutritional monitoring, which enables an improvement in the quality of life of these individuals, besides preventing important repercussions such as renal and hepatic impairment. Keywords: Hereditary Intolerance to Fructose, Child and Diet
