Authors: Босси Ричард Х. , Bossi Richarg H. , Джорджесон Гэри Е. , Georgeson Gary E.
Published: November 2019

Composite materials are widely used in a number of industrial sectors from aviation, space, to boat building, automotive, and sports goods. In recent years composite structures have seen a substantial increase of their use in the new generation of airplanes. The nondestructive testing and inspection of composite structures, both for manufacturing quality assurance and for in-service damage detection, has prompted the development and adaptation of a number of methods and techniques over the years. In this paper we review the various NDT methods for inspecting composites including water- and air-coupled ultrasound, bond testing, manual and automated tap testing, radiography, thermography, and shearography with emphasis given to techniques that demonstrated benefits to the practice of composite inspection.
How Cultural Stereotypes and Abuse Affect Family Risk in HIV Transmission
Authors: Nguyen Laurie
Published: November 2019

Many of the individuals who are affected come from marginalized groups, such as the LGTBQ community, ethnic minorities, and women. Because this disease is so politicized, many of these groups are ostracized, whether it be through discrimination or prejudice. While these individuals do suffer terribly, many social institutions are also affected. This article culls the literature and argues that cultural stereotypes, as well as domestic abuse, are two of the most important determining factors as to how HIV transmission risks will affect the family. Understanding the relationship between cultural stereotypes and abuse can further enhance present research regarding public health policies for HIV.
Cervical Cancer Incidence Rates in Texas Counties 1995â€“2015
Authors: Salas Nicholas
Published: November 2019

As of 2014, Texas has the 6th highest incidence rate and the 5th highest mortality rate of cervical cancer in the nation. In addition, Texas ranks 3rd to last in the United States in human papilloma (HPV) vaccinations, which helps prevent one of the leading causes of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer incidence rates in Texas remain high, despite it becoming one the most successfully preventable treatable cancers in the United States due to a combination of screenings and HPV vaccinations. Furthermore, spatial distribution of cervical cancer is unknown among Texas counties. This study will follow the political ecology model to elaborate on the political, historical, social, and economic factors that may explain why HPV vaccinations are low and the incidence rate remains high despite the interventions available to people in Texas. This study will examine the geography of cervical cancer in Texas counties from 1995 - 2015 as well as its relationship with religious adherence, socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, and uninsured rates. I will use a bivariate correlation to relate these factors with cancer incidence rates and ArcMap to create maps to illustrate the spatial distribution of these diseases. The data will be obtained from the Texas Cancer Registry, Texas County Health Rankings 2018, and the Association of Religion Data (CDC) Archives (ARDA). I expect that cervical cancer rates will decline after the introduction of the HPV vaccine in 2007, but areas with higher religious adherence will have higher rates of cervical cancer. In addition, I expect that uninsured rates, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic factors could possibly impact cervical cancer incidence rates.
Parental Perceptions of Mental Health Disorders, and the Effect on Their Children
Authors: Strange Rebecca
Published: November 2019

Could parental perceptions of mental health disorders affect the mental health of their own children? There has been research on the importance of a strong parent-child relationship for child development, but very little has been done to identify other possible factors. The current literature identifies parent child arguments, parent mental health disorders, and parent-child closeness as factors in poor child mental health. This paper will focus on the childrenâ€™s awareness of their parentsâ€™ perception of people with mental health disorders. This was done by conducting an online survey over a series of weeks. The results show a correlation between a parentâ€™s poor attitudes towards mental health, and the poor mental health of their own children.

Assessing periodontal health and the british society of periodontology implementation of the new classification of periodontal diseases 2017
Authors: Milward Mike R , Roberts Anthony
Published: November 2019

Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent, chronic, inflammatory condition which is a major contributor to tooth loss and poor oral health-related quality of life. For the vast majority of patients, the disease is entirely preventable/manageable often aided by input from dental health professionals. As dental health professionals, understanding the periodontal disease process, the risk factors associated with it, standardized ways of detecting, diagnosing and monitoring the disease, along with the special tests needed to aid this process are essential skills for successful disease management.

This article summarizes the need for assessing periodontal disease including key aspects of detection, a brief history of periodontal disease classification and the new classification. The paper goes on to discuss the British Society of Periodontology implementation plan of new classification and how this can be utilized for use in general dental practice.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper introduces the practitioner to the 2017 Classification of Periodontal Disease along with how this is implemented in general dental practice. The paper provides useful cases for practice as well as flowcharts to aid diagnosis.

Prevalence of pressure ulcers in long-term care: a global review
Authors: Anthony Denis , Alosoumi Dalyal , Safari Reza
Published: November 2019

Objective:

To identify and update the prevalence and incidence of pressure ulcers (PUs) in several countries, in people with long-term conditions resident in care homes or nursing homes.

Methods:

We followed the PRISMA guideline for systematic reviews. However, due to funding constraints we do not claim this review to be systematic but it is a narrative review informed by PRISMA. Medline, Embase and CINHAL were searched for observational studies reporting incidence or prevalence data. Data reported relevant head-to-toe examination of PUs in residence in care or nursing homes. Internal and external validity of the included studies were assessed using the checklist devised by Hoy et al.1

Results:

Inclusion criteria was met by 17 studies and included in the study. Some studies gave a full breakdown by category, some only gave overall figures, and others excluded category I PUs. However, within those constraints certain patterns are clear. Prevalence rates varied from 3.4–32.4%. Large differences in prevalence in different countries were not explained by methodological differences. While some countries, such as Germany, the Netherlands and the US had robust data, other countries, such as the UK, had none.

Conclusion:

PUs are a common problem in long-term care. However, there are substantial differences between countries and many countries have no published data.
Use of a monofilament debridement pad in the treatment of acne vulgaris
Authors: Eberlein Thomas , Wiegand Cornelia , Andriessen Anneke , Roes Claas , Abel Martin
Published: November 2019

Objective:

Acne vulgaris (acne) presents with increased oil-sebum secretion and subsequent formation of comedones, papules, pustules and nodules. Skin cleansing is part of the daily routine to improve skin condition. A monofilament debridement pad has shown to be effective when used for wound debridement and skin cleansing in dermatological conditions. The pad may offer benefits when used for acne affected skin.

Methods:

The in vitro cleansing capacity of the monofilament fibre pad was analysed and compared with commercially available cosmetic pads. For this purpose, a sebum model consisting of glass plates coated with an oil-red-stained layer of artificial sebum was used. To gain clinical experience a case series evaluated cleansing efficacy of the monofilament debridement pad in combination with polyhexanide and sodium-hypochlorite based solutions. Over a period of four months, seven individuals suffering from retentive moderate facial acne who visited the dermatology clinic for their acne used the pad as necessary, ranging from twice weekly to daily, dependent on the sensitivity of the patient's skin condition.

Results:

The in vitro study exhibited a significantly better cleansing efficacy of the monofilament debridement pad compared with the cosmetic pads. After single use of the pad subject scores on sebum reduction revealed excellent/very good in 42.9% and acceptable in 57.1% of cases. After repeated use of the monofilament pads scores on sebum reduction of excellent/very good were given in 85.7% and acceptable in 14.3% of cases. Subject scored handling of the pad and comfort during use also received favourable ratings.

Conclusion:

These initial results show the potential of the monofilament debridement pad for cleansing of acne-prone and acne affected skin. More robust studies are needed to confirm these results.
Spray Application Efficiency from a Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Configured for Aerial Pesticide Application
Authors: Richardson Brian , Rolando Carol A. , Kimberley Mark  O. , Strand Tara  M.
Published: November 2019

Highlights

The swath pattern was measured from an Agras MG-1 UAV spraying fine and extra-coarse droplet spectra.

The recommended lane separation of 3.6 m did not differ for the two droplet size classes tested in this study.

The applied spray deposited within the swath was higher with extra-coarse (>90%) than with fine (73%) droplets.

There was potential for substantial downwind drift with fine droplets, even when flying close to the ground at low speed.

Abstract. While there is increasing interest in the use of small, multi-rotor UAVs for application of agrichemicals, there is also uncertainty about their performance. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to quantify the performance of an Agras MG-1 with modified nozzle positions that, at the time of writing, was being used for commercial spraying in New Zealand. The approach was to release spray from the UAV along a single 50 m line. Spray deposits were measured using horizontal collectors placed on the ground in three 15 m transects centered on, and perpendicular to, the flight line. Airborne deposits were measured with a 10 m mast that supported spherical samplers at 1 m vertical intervals. Analysis of deposition data was undertaken to quantify factors influencing overall swath pattern variability, lane separation associated with a coefficient of variation (CV) of deposition of 30%, and spray application efficiency, which is the proportion of applied spray deposited within the swath. For two droplet size classes (extra-coarse and fine), the lane separation associated with a CV of 30% was about 3.6 m, with no significant effect of droplet size. This is a surprising result and may reflect the relatively small range of environmental conditions experienced during the field tests, including wind speed, which was relatively low for all tests. We speculate that this result may also be a consequence of the strong downwash. The swath width was positively correlated with wind speed. Spray efficiency was shown to be high (>90%) for the extra-coarse droplets but dropped significantly (73%) with the fine droplet spectrum. Combining in-swath deposition with the amount of airborne spray sampled in a 10 m vertical profile close to the edge of the swath accounted for 98.0% of the spray released with the extra-coarse spectrum but only 88.6% of the spray with the fine droplet spectrum. These results highlight that even with UAVs flying relatively close to the ground at a low forward speed, there is potential for substantial drift downwind of the swath when using smaller droplet size classes. Overall, the swath pattern was reasonably consistent across the two droplet size classes and for the narrow range of operational and meteorological conditions tested. Keywords: Aerial spraying, Pesticides, Spray application efficiency, Spray deposition, Swath pattern, UAV, Unmanned aerial vehicle.

With the approval of meanwhile five ADCs and more than 80 ADCs in clinical trials, the ADC landscape has developed rapidly during the last decade. However, as indicated also by the large number of ADCs which failed in the clinic, it remains challenging to achieve a sufficiently large therapeutic window in cancer patients. Furthermore, the identification of ADC payload classes with a novel mode of action would increase therapeutic options and potentially help to overcome resistance. Inhibitors of kinesin spindle protein (KSP/Eg5) have raised great interest because of their high antitumor potency which, however, could not be transferred into highly efficient clinical regimens due to dose limiting side effects such as neutropenia and mucositis.
Acerca del fundamento de la necesidad de las leyes empíricas de la ciencia en un sentido impropio en Kant. Una crítica de Michael Bennett McNulty
Authors: Arias Albisu Martín
Published: November 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es criticar un artículo de Michael B. McNulty publicado en 2015, a saber, “Rehabilitating the Regulative Use of Reason: Kant on Empirical and Chemical Laws”. En este artículo, McNulty examina la concepción kantiana de la necesidad de las leyes empíricas pertenecientes a lo que, en los Primeros principios metafísicos de la ciencia de la naturaleza, se denomina ciencia en un sentido “impropio”. McNulty considera la única ciencia en sentido impropio mencionada por Kant, a saber, la química. En su artículo, McNulty presenta una interpretación original e interesante de esa concepción. Según esta interpretación, ciertas ideas de la razón, que el autor llama “elementos”, son el fundamento de la necesidad de las leyes químicas. Haremos tres críticas a esta interpretación. 1) La tesis de McNulty según la cual desde la perspectiva de la razón las leyes químicas son estrictamente necesarias es cognitivamente irrelevante para nosotros. 2) McNulty no menciona textos de Kant que muestren claramente que su interpretación del fundamento de la necesidad de las leyes químicas es correcta. 3) Nuestra interpretación de la necesidad regulativa de las leyes químicas es más cercana a la concepción kantiana de esas leyes que la lectura de McNulty.
Pensar lo nuevo en ausencia de sus condiciones: acerca de Althusser y Negri
Authors: Steimberg Rodrigo
Published: November 2019

El presente trabajo aborda la lectura de Althusser realizada por Negri. Su objetivo es mostrar qué elementos sostienen la confluencia entre ambos filósofos. En primer lugar, caracterizaremos lo que entiende Negri por subsunción real. En segundo término, abordaremos su recuperación de la inmanencia spinoziana, que resulta el trasfondo que permite entender qué determinaciones le adjudica Negri al trabajo vivo como fundamento ontológico del capital. Finalmente, recorreremos algunas de las tesis adelantadas por Althusser en Para un materialismo aleatorio, que resultan la apoyatura básica de la interpretación de Negri. Nuestra hipótesis es que el encuentro entre ellos ocurre porque ambos depositan la potencia revolucionaria en un principio ahistórico, siendo esto el resultado del rechazo a la carga teleológica que le asignan a la negatividad hegeliana. Así, tanto Althusser como Negri postulan que la transformación revolucionaria de la sociedad depende de una condición que no se produce en su interior: una potencia que el capital no subsume, en el caso de Negri, y un encuentro contingente que no se prefigura en la estructura que interrumpe, en el de Althusser.
¿Qué implica una teoría evolutiva de las emociones respecto de la relación entre emoción y regulación emocional?
Authors: Wajnerman Paz Abel
Published: November 2019

James Gross ha desarrollado una propuesta muy difundida según la cual la regulación emocional es un procesoreflexivo o de segundo orden que es diferente de las emociones. A su vez, Gross considera que esta propuesta esindependiente de qué teoría sobre las emociones uno adopte. En este trabajo discutoesta presunta independencia. En particular, sostengo queel enfoque evolutivo de Tooby y Cosmidestiene dos implicaciones respecto de la relación entre emoción y regulación emocional:(1) los procesos comúnmente considerados como regulativos son, de acuerdo con esta propuesta, parte de la emoción misma y(2) la regulación emocional se lleva a cabo horizontalmente, es decir, entre emociones que se encuentran en el mismo nivel.
TINGKAT PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT DALAM PELESTARIAN KAMPUNG KAUMAN SURAKARTA
Authors: Maulana Rahardian , Nurini Nurini
Published: November 2019

Kampung Kauman is located in the center of the city that has a wealth of culture and has a historical potential both in terms of physical environment and in the form of ancient buildings that are still authentic and traditions of society with religious distinctiveness. There are various relics of ancient buildings that are still well maintained, but there are ancient buildings that are not well maintained and not defined as a cultural heritage building so it needs to be preserved so that its authenticity is maintained. Conservation with a bottom up approach is a preservation that involves community participation in every activity. Conservation by involving community participation are considered more effective because it is able to grow a strong sense of belonging. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of community participation in the conservation of Kampung Kauman as a historic place in the city of Surakarta and know the factors that influence it. Analytical techniques used include descriptive quantitative analysis using cross tabulation method and chi square test. Based on analysis of cross tabulation and chi square test that has been done, internal factors that have relationship with form and level of society participation are gender, education level, and length of stay. While external factors that have a relationship with the shape and level of community participation is the role of the kelurahan, community figure, and paguyuban Batik Kauman.
Exeter Book Riddle 95: ‘The Sun’, a New Solution
Authors: Bitterli Dieter
Published: November 2019

Elusive and fraught with textual difficulties, Riddle 95, the ‘last’ of the Old English verse riddles preserved in the tenth-century Exeter Book, has long baffled modern readers as one of a handful of thorny items in the collection that have so far defied solution. ‘Book’ is the answer that has found most acceptance with critics in the past, yet the speaking subject of Riddle 95 is unlike anything described in those items of the collection that actually deal with writing and the tools of the monastic scriptorium. Rather, the linguistic and thematic parallels between Riddle 95 on the one hand, and the cosmological riddles and poems in the Exeter Book on the other, strongly suggest that the subject of Riddle 95 is the sun, a frequent topic of early medieval enigmatography. The poem obliquely relates how the rising sun installs itself in the sky to shed its welcome light upon the earth before it sets and vanishes from sight, completing its daily orbit along unknown paths. The main clues helping to secure the solution ‘sun’ are based upon what was known in Anglo-Saxon England about the solar course and the planetary motions, especially from the astronomical writings of Isidore of Seville and Bede. Further evidence is provided by several analogues in the Anglo-Latin riddle tradition, including the Enigmata of Aldhelm and his followers.

High Velocity and Temperature Effects on the Bending Behavior of Nickel Nanowire: A Large-Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study
Authors: Gupta Pradeep , Katakam Krishna Chaitanya , Yedla Natraj
Published: November 2019

We performed classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of bending of large-size nickel nanowire (NW) of size 28a (x-axis) by 284a (y-axis) by 28a (z-axis) comprising of 925,965 atoms (where a = 3.52 Å). Embedded atom method potential is used for modeling the interactions between nickel atoms. Bending studies have been carried out at temperatures in the range of 300 K–1,500 K. A rigid diamond tip is used to apply force on the NW at a velocity of 100 m/s along z-direction [0 0 −1]. The load time results show that as the temperature increases the yield load decreases as expected and is more significant at temperatures higher than 900 K. The structural studies are carried out by centro-symmetry parameter (CSP) and radial distribution function (RDF) analysis. The CSP analysis reveals the formation of stacking faults in the NW regions below the indenter tip, indicating localized plastic deformation. The RDF analysis reveals that with an increase in temperature the regions in the NW below the indenter tip become disordered. Dislocation extraction algorithm analysis carried out for understanding the plastic deformation mechanism reveals that the deformation mechanism is by slip by Shockley partial dislocations. We also observed twins in a few regions of the NW. The fracture features of the NW suggest ductile nature.
La reforma de los delitos de financiación ilegal de partidos políticos: un debate desenfocado
Authors: León Alapont José
Published: November 2019

La financiación ha sido tradicionalmente uno de los principales focos de delincuencia en el seno de los partidos, yendo asociada en numerosas ocasiones a sonados escándalos de corrupción. En cambio, hubo que esperar a la reforma del Código Penal operada por la LO 1/2015, de 30 de marzo, para que el legislador español creara ex novo los arts. 304 bis y 304 ter (relativos a la financiación ilegal de partidos políticos). No obstante, y a pesar de la corta vida de estos preceptos, pronto se generaría en el poder legislativo el debate acerca de la conveniencia de modificar dichos artículos. De forma que, constituye el objeto principal de este trabajo analizar las recientes propuestas de reforma de los delitos de financiación ilegal planteadas por los distintos grupos parlamentarios, para contraponerlas con la que a nuestro juicio debiera ser la modificación que algún día debiera emprender el legislador español.

Mycobacterium abscessus is a fast growing Mycobacterium species mainly causing skin and respiratory infections in human. M. abscessus is resistant to numerous drugs, which is a major challenge for the treatment. In this study, we have sequenced the genomes of two clinical M. abscessus strains having rough and smooth morphology, using the single molecule real-time and Illumina HiSeq sequencing technology. In addition, we reported the first comparative methylome profiles of a rough and a smooth M. abscessus clinical strains. The number of N4-methylcytosine (4mC) and N6-methyladenine (6mA) modified bases obtained from smooth phenotype were two-fold and 1.6 fold respectively higher than that of rough phenotype. We have also identified 4 distinct novel motifs in two clinical strains and genes encoding antibiotic-modifying/targeting enzymes and genes associated with intracellular survivability having different methylation patterns. To our knowledge, this is the first report about genome-wide methylation profiles of M. abscessus strains and identification of a natural linear plasmid (15 kb) in this critical pathogen harboring methylated bases. The pan-genome analysis of 25 M. abscessus strains including two clinical strains revealed an open pan genome comprises of 7596 gene clusters. Likewise, structural variation analysis revealed that the genome of rough phenotype strain contains more insertions and deletions than the smooth phenotype and that of the reference strain. A total of 391 single nucleotide variations responsible for the non-synonymous mutations were detected in clinical strains compared to the reference genome. The comparative genomic analysis elucidates the genome plasticity in this emerging pathogen. Furthermore, the detection of genome-wide methylation profiles of M. abscessus clinical strains may provide insight into the significant role of DNA methylation in pathogenicity and drug resistance in this opportunistic pathogen.

Epidemiologic data and bacteriologic etiologies of all children presenting with OAIs on admission to our institution over 20 years (1997–2016) were assessed retrospectively. The population was divided into 2 cohorts, using the standardized use of polymerase chain reaction as the cutoff point (2007). The conventional cohort included children with OAIs mainly investigated by using classic cultures, whereas the molecular cohort referred to patients also investigated by using molecular assays.

RESULTS:

Kingella kingae was the most frequently isolated pathogen, responsible for 51% of OAIs, whereas other classic pathogens were responsible for 39.7% of cases in the molecular cohort. A statistically significant increase in the mean incidence of OAIs was observed, as was a decrease in the mean age at diagnosis after 2007. After 2007, the pathogen remained unidentified in 21.6% of OAIs in our pediatric population.

CONCLUSIONS:

Extensive use of nucleic acid amplification assays improved the detection of fastidious pathogens and has increased the observed incidence of OAI, especially in children aged between 6 and 48 months. We propose the incorporation of polymerase chain reaction assays into modern diagnostic algorithms for OAIs to better identify the bacteriologic etiology of OAIs.
Determining the Marginal Willingness to Pay for the Cervical Cancer Screening Program in Croatia: A Best-Worst Scaling Approach1
Authors: Samaržija Nikolina Dukić
Published: November 2019

Croatia is faced with a low response to cancer-screening programs, especially the national cervical cancer screening program, which ultimately resulted in its suspension. If judged solely on the basis of revealed preferences, such a poor response would imply that the population assigns a low social value to preventive screening programs. However, the question arises as to whether revealed preferences (the population's response), in the case of the absence of response to a preventive program, provide insight into its value (utility). Therefore, the objective of this paper is to determine the value that respondents assign to different attributes of cervical screening and, in a broader sense, to decide whether the best-worst scaling (BWS) approach is appropriate for determining the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for public health programs. The MWTP for certain attributes of cervical cancer screening is derived from the results of a BWS study conducted in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia. The cost function was estimated by regressing the conditional logit coefficients (level of utility) of three levels of the cost attribute on its corresponding values, that is, the hypothetical price. Because the sum of the MWTP corresponds with the market price of a gynecological examination in private practice, we conclude that the results obtained by the BWS confirm the revealed preferences (the market value of the service).
Recipient questions as a strategy to launch second stories
Authors: Zhang Wei , Peng Xin
Published: November 2019

This article reports a study of launching second stories in Chinese conversation. It particularly examines how recipients ask questions about something related to but not explicitly mentioned in the first story. We show that such questions are strategically placed in that they prefigure upcoming stories. The design of the questions may also cast a new light on the first story so that the second story, when told, can be recognised as subsequent to the first in particular ways. We discuss the interactional nature of such questions in relation to Schegloff’s (2007) idea that ‘preness’ is a more general property in action sequences.
The use of utterance particles as assessment resources in Cantonese conversation
Authors: Moutinho Ricardo , Lao Weng I
Published: November 2019

It has been reported in the literature that each language has very particular resources that show how participants mark their epistemic positions (Hayano, 2011; Iwasaki & Yap, 2015; Kärkkäinen, 2003, 2007; Thompson, 2002). Our main objective in this article is to discuss and explicate the use of these resources in a conversation carried out by young adults in Cantonese. We discuss how conversationalists mark and manage their epistemic positions through assessment devices carried out by certain utterance particles (a ma, ge, and gám) and other combining resources (such as use of first person plural pronouns, modal adverbs, and tag questions). To do so, we focus on the competition of rights to make assessments, turn design, and the sequential positioning of each participant during the interaction. Our results show that participants always search for ratification of their assessments and that the use of the three particles analysed herein play a fundamental role in this process. This work seeks to contribute to other studies that have analysed specific resources that participants use when claiming or defeating rights during the evaluation process of a matter at hand in languages other than English.

Published: November 2019

Resumo Um dos maiores desafios da indústria automobilística, a nível global, trata-se de desenvolver veículos que sejam, simultaneamente, leves e resistentes mecanicamente. O Tailor Welded Blank (TWB) surge como solução, pois é um processo que permite a soldagem de topo de chapas de diferentes especificações (material, espessura e/ou revestimento), antes da conformação. Nesta pesquisa trabalhou-se com chapas de aços livre de intersticiais (IF –Intertitial Free), da Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN), de códigos FEE 210 de 1,2 mm de espessura e IF CSN FEP 05 de 0,7 mm de espessura, soldadas a laser. Foram feitos ensaios de tração uniaxial e de microdureza Vickers. A linha de solda foi orientada de 0° a 70° (variando de 5° em 5°). A partir dos resultados obtidos espera-se que se possa consolidar uma metodologia para avaliação do melhor ângulo possível para a linha de solda de um TWB. Constatou-se que a carga máxima suportada aumenta à medida que se inclina a linha de solda (até um determinado limite) e que ângulos complementares de inclinação geram cargas cisalhantes similares. Deve-se trabalhar então com ângulos que permitam otimização de resistência mecânica, melhor conformabilidade e maior redução de massa e de custos. A seleção desse ângulo ficará atrelada a questões de projeto e não mais a tentativas e erros.
Optimization of the blanching time and temperature in the manufacture of Hass avocado pulp using low quality discarded fruits
Authors: Salvador-Reyes Rebeca , Paucar-Menacho Luz Maria
Published: November 2019

Abstract In Peru, approximately 20% of the production of avocado var. Hass is discarded due to its low quality, and sold at low prices in local markets. The aim of this study was to optimize the blanching time and temperature to produce avocado pulp, using low quality discarded fruits as the raw material. The process was optimized using Response Surface Methodology with a 22 central composite rotational design (R2 ≥ 0.75; p < 0.05). The independent variables studied were the blanching time (0, 1.5, 5, 8.5, 10 min) and temperature (65, 68, 75, 82, 85 °C), where the avocados were blanched by immersion (with peel), and the pulp extracted, processed, vacuum sealed (0.035 MPa) and stored under refrigeration at 5 °C for 49 days. The low quality discarded avocados were shown to be ideal for pulping, since 98% of the fruits had an oil content below 15% with an average pulp yield of 79.23%. The results indicated that longer blanching times and higher temperatures of above 5 min and 75 °C, respectively, retained the green colour and increased the brightness of the pulp, avoiding enzymatic browning. In addition, the increase in both contributed to the stability of the product acidity and pH level, extending its shelf life. However, in the sensory analysis, the pulp submitted to temperatures above 82 °C obtained the lowest scores for taste, odour and general acceptance due to the presence of a bitter taste and unpleasant odours in the pulp. The central point trials (5 min; 75 °C) presented the best scores for the independent variables such as colour, taste, odour and sensory texture, also showing good physicochemical stability with a shelf life of 37 days.

Published: November 2019

Resumo Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o perfil físico-químico de sucos elaborados com uvas das variedades Vitis rotundifolia Regale, Noble, Summit e Carlos. O trabalho foi realizado na Epagri-Videira/SC, nas safras 2016, 2017 e 2018. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi um fatorial duplo (variedade × safra), de forma inteiramente casualizada e com três repetições. As análises físico-químicas realizadas foram: acidez total (AT), teor de sólidos solúveis (SS), relação SS/AT, pH, açúcares redutores, densidade e cor. Em relação ao pH, ‘Regale’ e ‘Carlos’ apresentaram valores que se mantiveram na faixa de 2,82 a 2,98, enquanto para ‘Noble’ e ‘Summit’, os valores foram superiores, chegando a 3,30. A acidez titulável dos sucos de ‘Regale’ e ‘Noble’ se destacou das demais variedades em ambas as safras avaliadas, devido aos teores de acidez mais elevados. Para o teor de sólidos solúveis totais, na safra 2016, apenas os sucos da variedade ‘Summit’ atingiram o valor de 14,00 °Brix, teor mínimo exigido para comercialização como suco integral perante a legislação brasileira. Os sucos dessa variedade obtiveram a maior relação SS/AT nas três safras avaliadas, com valores próximos a 30, comportamento diverso dos sucos de ‘Regale’, que apresentaram as menores médias para esta variável, com valores em torno de 10. As variedades tintas originaram sucos mais ácidos em comparação às variedades brancas. A variedade ‘Summit’ apresentou a melhor relação açúcar/acidez, apresentando aptidão para a elaboração de sucos nas três safras pesquisadas. ‘Regale’ e ‘Noble’ apresentaram prejuízos na produtividade e sanidade na safra 2016, no entanto, mostraram-se aptas ao processamento de suco nas safras 2017 e 2018. Os sucos da variedade ‘Carlos’ não atingiram o teor mínimo de 14 °Brix em nenhuma das três safras estudadas, fator que impossibilita a classificação destes como suco integral.
Educação pública como direito social: desafios para a construção de um sistema articulado no Brasil
Authors: Ferreira Benedito de Jesus Pinheiro
Published: November 2019

Resumo Este artigo analisa, por meio de revisão de literatura, referenciada teoricamente na pedagogia histórico-crítica, determinações fundamentais da educação pública no Brasil, buscando compreender os desafios colocados para a efetivação de uma práxis educativa radicalmente voltada à emancipação humana. São tratadas três questões intimamente relacionadas: a dificuldade histórica de constituição de um sistema nacional de educação; os crônicos problemas de subfinanciamento estatal, como elemento-chave das políticas educacionais, especialmente nas últimas décadas; e a hegemonia de pedagogias do aprender a aprender, que renovam o discurso desqualificador da atividade de transmissão do conhecimento humano historicamente produzido em suas formas mais desenvolvidas. Conclui-se apontando a necessidade da defesa da educação pública como um direito social, articulado às lutas por um projeto educacional emancipatório, que precisam estar baseadas na produção de conhecimento sobre a realidade educacional brasileira, a partir de um referencial teórico que dê conta de apreender o caráter contraditório dessa realidade, que constitui uma particularidade do capitalismo periférico.
