Tendencias y características de la Mortalidad por Infarto Agudo al Miocardio en Costa Rica de 1970 al 2014
Authors: Evans-Meza Ronald , Bonilla-Carrión Roger , Pérez-Fallas José Daniel
Published: January 2020

Objetivo: analizar las principales características epidemiológicas de la mortalidad por infarto del miocardio en Costa Rica de 1970 al 2014. Métodos: los datos del número de muertos por IAM para todas las edades y de la población del país se obtuvieron consultando anuarios y  bases de datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y del Centro de Población de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR). Con ellos se obtuvieron las tasas brutas y estandarizadas, “suavizadas” por promedios móviles y quinquenales, así como la relación porcentual con la mortalidad general. Posteriormente, se calcularon las tasas estandarizadas de mortalidad por IAM para el grupo de 35 a 74 años, por sexo y provincia. Resultados: la tendencia permite distinguir dos épocas definidas. Una de ascenso que ocurre desde 1970 hasta finales de la década de los años noventa. La otra en los primeros años del siglo XXI con inclinación hacia el descenso. Esto se observa con las tasas de promedios móviles y quinquenales, especialmente en el grupo de 35 a 74 años (hombres, r=0.99, r2=094, betha=-6.67, p=0.00, mujeres r=0.97, r2=0.94, betha= -6.67, p=0.01, ambos sexos r=0.97, r2=0.94, betha=-7.42, p=0.01). Conclusiones: pese a una leve tendencia a la disminución de la mortalidad por IAM en estos últimos quince años, el IAM continuará siendo un grave problema de salud en Costa Rica y para revertir la situación, tendrá el gobierno nacional que continuar esforzándose en disminuir la prevalencia de los principales factores de riesgo de las ECNT y en mejorar la atención del paciente que tiene la enfermedad.

A review of the use of technology for pedagogical purposes by students in clinical placement
Authors: Gray James , Gillgrass Kirsty
Published: January 2020

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Purpose: Technology is now ubiquitous and with a wide range of clinical and pedagogical applications. This study sought to assess students' use of technology on clinical placement to facilitate supporting its use. Method: A questionnaire based review asking questions of medical, and physician associate, students at the University of Sheffield. Results: All responding students had smartphones and utilised technology. The sites and apps used were a wider range than we were aware of raising questions of how we support students if we are ignorant of their preferred sources. There were both positive and negative perceptions of the use of mobile technology by supervisors despite the known widespread use of technology by healthcare professionals. Conclusion: Barriers still exist to the use of the available technologies, in particular supervisor and patient perceptions, which need to be overcome to realise the full potential of technology with some key steps that can be taken to help do this.

The Digital Transformation of the Public Sphere, Its Features in the Context of Various Political Regimes, and Its Possible Influence on Political Processes
Authors: Salikov Alexey
Published: January 2020

The question of how the digital transformation of the public sphere affects political processes has been of interest to researchers since the spread of the Internet in the early 1990s. However, today there is no clear or unambiguous answer to this question; expert estimates differ radically, from extremely positive to extremely negative. This article attempts to take a comprehensive approach to this issue, conceptualizing the transformations taking place in the public sphere under the influence of Internet communication technologies, taking their political context into account, and identifying the relationship between these changes and possible transformations of political regimes. In order to achieve these goals, several tasks are tackled during this research. The first section examines the issue as to whether the concept of the public sphere can be used in a non-democratic context. It also delineates two main types of the public sphere, the “democratic public sphere” and the “authoritarian public sphere,” in order to take into account the features of public discourse in the context of various political regimes. The second section discusses the special aspects of the digital transformation of the public sphere in a democratic context. The third section considers the special aspects of the digital transformation of the public sphere in a non-democratic context. The concluding section summarizes the results of the study, states the existing gaps and difficulties, outlines the ways for their possible extension, and raises questions requiring attention from other researchers.
Reciprocity “by Blessing”: Debatable Issues of Gift Exchange in The Church Community
Authors: Knorre Boris , Murashova Anna
Published: January 2020

The article is an attempt to analyze the most significant aspects of gift exchange in the context of the models of economic integration in the Church’s social milieu. The most important points of the discussion are the propositions and mechanisms of gift exchange designated in recent works by G. Yudin, I. Zabaev, the archpriest N. Emelyanov, and some other researchers providing an idea of the opportunity and the special role of the priest in generating gift exchange. We argue that a number of key issues concerning the opportunity for priests to generate gift exchange remains debatable and sensible. To what extent are priests today free from the competition in, engagement with, and from aiming at maximizing resources? What are the modes of personal dependence/independence in the Church’s social milieu? What are the mechanisms for the formation of solidarity, moral duty, and formal and informal obligations between the priest, parishioners, major donators, and non-Church actors? What is the nature of the exchange processes, and how much do they match the criteria of gift exchange so that they can be distinguished from patron-client relations, the hierarchical distribution of resources, or processes launched by bigmen? These and other issues with regard to the Church environment are analyzed in the article using empirical material and the observations illustrating the specifics of social integration and certain options for exchange relations. We are aiming to delineate approximately what the “status quo” is of today’s gift-exchange processes in the Church, their obstacles, and the points of failure and risks. At the same time, we offer our theoretical explanation of these obstacles and the resulting conflicts that arise during the organization of gift exchange in the Church’s social milieu.
Max Weber and 21st-Century Modern
Authors: Wagner Peter
Published: January 2020

In a rather complicated manner, Max Weber’s writings contain general theoretical reflections that are now incorporated in the canon of sociological theory, in the analyses of social change in the form of historical and comparative sociology, and in reflections on political events, all in the guise of the diagnosis and critique of his own historical age. This article attempts to draw conclusions from the tensions between these aspects in Weber’s work by trying to discover how such a sophisticated combination of cognitive goals is possible today, and what limits it encounters. What the “light of great cultural problems” falls upon, what elements of the past determine the present, and what events are particularly important for understanding of a certain age are questions whose answers must regularly be sought anew. The author relies on the concept of “modernity”, or rather, on the field of interpretation arising around this term. He assumes that the given field is wide enough to better understand our present condition by means of this term. In the meantime, the author believes that for this understanding to be successful, present-day modernity must be appropriately positioned in this field theoretically, historically, and as the diagnosis of our age.
Cosmos and Republic: A Hidden Dialogue between Hannah Arendt and Alexander von Humboldt
Authors: Heuer Wolfgang
Published: January 2020

This text brings together two ideas, those of Hannah Arendt’s republicanism and Alexander von Humboldt’s cosmopolitanism. Both ways of thinking are seen as alternatives to a republican-biocentric perspective to the current problematic areas of the political and ecological crises. Arendt’s critique of the modern natural sciences and the associated alienation from the earth, which still characterizes the current relationship to nature today, will be presented first. This critique is closely related to Arendt’s thesis of world loss, i.e., the loss of the interpersonal pluralistic sphere. As an alternative to both forms of loss, Arendt develops the concept of an independent sphere of the political based on inter-personality, harmony with nature, and dialogical and consensual politics. While Arendt approaches nature from Kant’s definition of self- and world-relationship and from her own definition of sustainable politics, Humboldt goes the opposite way, that is, from respecting nature as an independent organism to a republican understanding of politics that, like Arendt, rejects the exploitation of humans as well as nature. Arendt and Humboldt both belong to the tradition of the Enlightenment that (in addition to phenomenology, self-reflection, the values of human dignity and human rights, and the unity of understanding and feeling) also includes a cosmopolitanism and freedom of movement for acting and judging citizens.
Religion in the Mediatized Public Spaces in Scandinavian Countries: Between Secular Neutrality and Nationalism
Authors: Grishaeva Ekaterina
Published: January 2020

The following article presents a systematic review of the studies of religion in the mediatized public sphere of Scandinavian countries. The mediatized public sphere is tackled as constituted by interrelated media spaces, those of mass media, the Internet, and religious media and media of popular culture which are specifically organized public spaces, each of which varies in their degree of openness to different publics. A review of the empirical research reveals the specificity of the public (re)presentations of religion in each media space. In the Scandinavian mass media, religious issues are covered within the political frame, and “banalized” (Hjavard, 2013), while religious organizations have few opportunities to influence the representation of religious content. Due to its’ non-strict “entrance fee” and the spread of horizontal links, religious issues are articulated by agents though different ideologies on the Internet. Religious media space is an environment where religious organizations seek to maintain an institutional version of the religious narrative. In the media of popular culture, religious themes as a part of popular culture are interpreted aesthetically, and thus, makes this space a repository of religious meanings and identities that can be used in the course of political and public discussions about religion. The variety of media spaces enables the public circulation of diverse representations of religion, and allows various groups to discuss their ideological articulations of religion. However, this results in the polarization of public debates about religion and the fragmentation of the audience. The proposed model of the media spheres’ division into political spaces can be used as a framework for the analysis of the (re)presentation of religion in the Russian media.

Making LB NGM Plates v1
Authors: Islam Priota
Published: January 2020

C. elegans is maintained in the laboratory on Nematode Growth Medium (NGM) agar which has been aseptically poured into petri plates. Sometimes they can also be grown on LB-NGM, where the LB in the media will promote better growth of the bacteria the worms feed on. The LB-NGM agar medium can be poured into petri plates easily and aseptically using a peristaltic pump. This pump can be adjusted so that a constant amount of LB-NGM agar is dispensed into each petri plate. A constant amount of agar in the plates reduces the need for refocusing the microscope when you switch from one plate to another.

Pecularities of Borrowed Lexical Items Functioning in Ukrainian Mass Media Language
Authors: Navalna Maryna
Published: January 2020

The article analyzes the most commonly used foreign-language lexical items in the language of modern Ukrainian mass media. The objective of the article is to study the thematic direction of foreign-language lexical items, to determine their stylistic role, as well as to indicate the instability of spelling of certain borrowings.
The descriptive method and method of observation are used as the main ones in the scientific research for the study of lexical items in the language of Ukrainian periodicals of the beginning of the XXI century. At different stages of the research, the method of functional analysis was used to determine the stylistic meaning of lexical items.
The foreign-language words are an integral part of Ukrainian vocabulary, due to some extralin factors, such as Ukraine’s course towards European integration, the process of globalization, economy restructuring, orientation towards the countries of the West, that have caused the close cultural, political, and social and economic cooperation of the Ukrainians with other nations.
As the language of modern mass media shows, the borrowings get into various scopes of society: economic, social and political, scientific, cultural, educational, communication, everyday life etc. Due to the active borrowing of foreign-language lexical items, we can have a threatening linguistic situation: functioning of doublets in the language, increasing the number of unwanted homonyms, borrowing of proper names without translation, borrowing of words that aim at imitating something different.
The borrowings in the Ukrainian language have often different spelling, which proves the instability of spelling and requires further scientific researches.
Orthographic and Semantic Anormative Lexis in Publicistic Texts of Cultural-Linguistic Area
Authors: Marynenko Iryna
Published: January 2020

The problem of language accuracy in publicistic texts hasn’t lost its actuality due to the great number of deviations from the language norms. The analysis of journalistic materials, which deal with the cultural and educational topics, has demonstrated that the language norms are broken in them rather often. The objective of the research is to systematize the most frequently used mistakes in the journalistic materials on cultural-linguistic topics, and to define the reasons of their occurrence. For reaching this objective 85 articles and interviews devoted to the issues of language policy and culture of speech taken from popular Internet publicistic sources were chosen and analyzed. The number of collected mistakes (anormative lexis) is over 400. The following methods were used during the research of the selected material: the method of entire selection for choosing the texts and collecting the examples of anormative lexis from cross-media sources; the descriptive method for defining the essence of deviation from the language norm and for finding the reasons of this phenomenon; the methods of analysis and synthesis for systematizing and classifying the selected anormative lexis. The fulfilled research allows to assert that the publicistic texts devoted to cultural-linguistic issues contain less number of norm deviations than texts of other thematic spheres. Thus, they contain less number of mistakes in usage of paronyms, there were no cases of inappropriate usage of little known terms and rarely used words. However, due to the influence of the Russian language the frequency of word-building and semantic loan translation is still high. It can be explained by the lack of clear delimitation of two languages in the consciousness of texts’ authors. The permanent improvement of language competence of journalists and editors, paying attention to the complicated examples of word spelling and to the
usage of definite lexical units will promote thorough improvement of language culture of mass media staff.

W analizie wykorzystano mitoznawstwo porównawcze i krytykę ekumeniczną, stanowiące punkt wyjścia do docierania do głębokich warstw semantycznych tekstów, co pozwoliło na nowe odczytania.
Las creencias en el asfalto
Authors: Portal María Ana
Published: January 2020

En este trabajo me interesa explorar una de las formas en que los habitantes de la ciudad de México se apropian del espacio público urbano, a partir de la sacralización de lugares específicos en la vía pública. Dicha apropiación se hace visible con la instalación de altares, cruces para sus muertos y nichos para vírgenes y santos. Estos elementos de la religiosidad popular se con- forman no sólo en parte del paisaje urbano, sino que tienen una función cotidiana –articulada a la protección, a la construcción de memoria y al manejo de los espacios liminales– en una ciudad aparentemente caótica, en donde los espacios públicos se consideran “en extinción”. Son elementos que buscan poblar con rostros y nombres propios el espacio del anonimato urbano, generando lugares de sentido y de memoria para los pobladores locales. De esta manera, el espacio público se constituye en una suerte de escenario en donde lo más personal de los sujetos y los grupos se hace visible.
Retos y dificultades de productores en huertos orgánicos en Celaya, Guanajuato, México
Authors: Delgado González Erandi , Del Carpio Ovando Perla Shiomara , Hernández López David
Published: January 2020

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo principal conocer la experiencia de productores orgánicos de Celaya, Guanajuato, para analizar sus formas de organización, comercialización y las principales dificultades que afectan al gremio, especialmente, las que se refieren a la producción y comercialización de sus productos. Se realizó bajo un enfoque cualitativo a través de un estudio de caso constituido por un grupo de productores orgánicos perteneciente

al programa “Plan piloto de desarrollo rural”. Se consideró como subunidad de análisis a 18 productores (4 hombres y 14 mujeres) de los 15 huertos que se encuentran distribuidos en 13 localidades del municipio de Celaya. En los resultados se presentan las principales dificultades señaladas por estos productores, tales como: plagas, falta de agua y la poca organización entre integrantes del gremio, estos se asocian al bajo volumen productivo (que es el principal problema de comercialización), seguido por la falta de tiempo y el desconocimiento de mercado por parte de los productores. Se propone profundizar algunos temas como la importancia del género de los productores, pues se encontró una mayor inclinación de las mujeres por generar ingresos a través de la unidad productiva. Se concluye que la producción orgánica es un espacio de oportunidades para realizar investigación y conocer las luchas y estrategias que los pequeños productores desarrollan ante los impulsos de la globalización.
¿Tienen Las Personas Sordas una Discapacidad?
Authors: Lane Harlan , Valdés-Arenas Daniela
Published: January 2020

Recientemente le pregunté a un colega, un profesor al que voy a llamar Archibald, si él pensaba que las personas Sordas tenían una discapacidad. “Claro que la tienen”, él respondió, “Es sentido común”. Creo que un gran número de las personas oyentes y también algunas personas Sordas dirían lo mismo. Cuando mi colega concluyó su respuesta con “sentido común” él insinuó que el significado de las palabras mismas respondía mi pregunta. Una discapacidad es la limitación de una función dada por una deficiencia. Las personas Sordas están limitadas en algunas funciones por una deficiencia en la audición. Por lo tanto, las personas Sordas tienen una discapacidad. Eso cierra el problema para mi colega muy rápido, pero muy temprano para nosotros. Abordar esta discusión desde el sentido común de los términos, es abordarlo con un sesgo desde el principio. Particularmente, estas acepciones toman sordo y discapacidad el ser atributos físicos del individuo, como la presión sanguínea o el color de los ojos. Una gran parte sigue este entendimiento biológico de sordo y discapacidad, incluyendo muchas otras palabras que las personas Sordas encuentran hirientes y hostiles a sus intereses. Yo propongo, por lo tanto, suspender el sentido común en esta discusión lo suficiente para explorar los conceptos de sordo y discapacidad y así poder ver el trasfondo de tanto la pregunta como de la respuesta.

Background: Renal failure is a slowly progressive disease of kidney, characterized by low glomerular filtration. One of the most important replacement therapy of renal failure is hemodialysis which helping in the removal of toxic fluids and metabolic end products from the body.

Methods: This study was carried out on 43 patients with renal failure in the dialysis unit of Wadi Al-Dawaser General Hospital. Patients were 25 males and 18 females, randomly selected for the study between September and November 2018. Blood samples were obtained from all patients pre and post dialysis for serum biochemical analysis including kidney function test, liver function, lipid profile, glucose, electrolytes, while blood sample with anticoagulants collected pre dialysis for complete blood picture.  

Results: The hemogram parameters recorded significant decrease while leuckogram insignificantly increase specially eosinophils, in pre-dialysis patients. Serum biochemical parameters were significantly high pre-dialysis recorded 83.7%, 97.7%, 21% for urea, creatinine and uric acid respectively, while significantly decrease post dialysis. In contrast serum glucose and magnesium levels were significantly high pre and post dialysis. As result of decrease of the erythropoietin production in chronic renal failure patients lower hematological indices, increase the risk of anemia are main results.

Conclusions: Dialysis improve the biochemical parameters of serum especially creatinine and urea while glucose and magnesium not improved.

 
A study on the effect of grommet as partial ossicular replacement prosthesis in type III tympanoplasty in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media
Authors: Prakash M. D. , Joy Lyra , Jose Priya
Published: January 2020

Background: Chronic otitis media (COM) with or without cholesteatoma causes ossicular erosion/ destruction which leads to conductive hearing loss. Ossiculoplasty is to reconstruct the hearing mechanism in ear after eliminating the disease from the middle ear. In our study we used ventilation tubes or grommet as partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP) for the reconstruction of the ossicular chain especially when the stapes is mobile. The objective of the study is to assess the degree of hearing improvement by using grommet as PORP in type III tympanoplasty.

Methods: It was an observational study from July 2018 to July 2019. 20 patients with COM undergoing canal wall up or canal wall down mastoidectomy with intraoperative ossicular chain erosion with intact stapes suprastructure were included in this study. Post-operative hearing gain and graft uptake was assessed at 3rd month.  

Results: Among these 20 patients 15 underwent canal wall up mastoidectomy with type III tympanoplasty and 5 underwent canal wall down procedure with type III tympanoplasty. Incus was eroded in 17 cases, malleus in 2 cases and malleus with incus eroded in 1 case. The pre op average airborne gap was 38 dB and mean improvement of 12 dB was observed at third month.

Conclusions: Grommet tube used as PORP is an effective alternative in the reconstruction of ossicular chain with good hearing improvement.

Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to criminal-legal characteristics of the false accusations with the aim of seizing someone elses property as a form of corruption crimes, known to the medieval law of Moscow of the XVI century based on the analysis of public-law acts (statutory and labial letters), legislative (the Pskov Judicial Charter, Code of Laws of 1550) and other sources (notes of foreigners about the Moscow state in XVI century) substantiates the assignment of the considered compositions acquisitive criminal offences to the group of corruption-related crimes. The scheme of the criminal act assumed, first, the presence of secondary crime of false testimony, usually from a person already arrested robber, who pointed to their alleged accomplices of the obviously innocent locals. Secondly, the seizure by confiscation of property belonging to knowingly agreed and convicted of complicity in the primary crime. The acquisition of part of someone elses property determined the selfish motivation of the secondary crime. Thirdly, especially the subject composition, the core of which were representatives of the judiciary and other officials a kind of organizers and active participants in the secondary criminal assault. This was the peculiarity of the analyzed tort, characterized by such a social and legal feature as complicity in a secondary mercenary crime of officials exercising their powers in the field of justice.
LABOR ADAPTATION AS THE MAIN FACTOR OF RESOCIALIZATION OF CONVICTS: PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS AND WAYS OF THEIR SOLUTION
Authors: Smirnov I. A.
Published: January 2020

Currently, the employment of persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty and released from it is a problematic issue due to a number of different circumstances. Existing penal enforcement legislation does not provide for a range of measures directly related to promote the employment of convicts in the postpenitentiary period. Although the decision of social problems arising in convicts after their release, including the search for work, need to be addressed at the final stage of deprivation of liberty. In the scientific literature there are a number of proposals for solving the above problems, but their implementation is not supported by a specialized legal foundation that has a systemic and strategic character. In this context, it seems appropriate to adopt an appropriate targeted programme at the federal level. On the positive side, be pointed out the prerequisites for the development of public-private partnerships in the penal correctional system, as well as a certain potential for its development. It is necessary to borrow the positive experience from some foreign countries, taking into account the specificities of the Russian legislation. The practice of organizing job fairs and the implementation of various models of communication with potential employers are of particular interest.

In research literature approach according to which concrete historical forms of corruption in the Moscow right come down to the maintenance of the concept bribery dominates and are identified with the terms extortion and bribery. Meanwhile realities of the Moscow state of the 16th century generated a much bigger variety of forms of corruption, many of which are still insufficiently studied. On the basis of the analysis of legislative monuments of the law of the Moscow state of the 16th century, public diplomas and narrative sources of information the system of corruption offenses and the main directions of anti-corruption which were created at the level of state policy comes to light: 1) precautionary measures; 2) measures of positive responsibility; 3) measures of civil and criminal liability assuming realization of functions of compensation of the caused damage and actually punishment.

In the article the system of territorial self-government as a way of fight against corruption offenses in the Russian state in the middle of the 16th century is considered. The following problems are put: to find out against what corruption offenses this system was directed, how effectively coped with them. The main one for anti-corruption measures within the framework of the Zemstvo reform was the replacement of the local administrative and judicial apparatus with local self-government bodies formed by elected best people. In the issuance of Zemstvo diplomas, various fees in favor of volostels and tiuns were replaced by a fixed monetary hoard, paid in favor of the supreme power once a year, which significantly reduced the opportunities for manifestations of corruption. Moreover, a number of provisions of the Zemstvo diplomas specifically stated that there was no need to transfer to any officials bribes and pominki, that is, an unexpected remuneration for the exercise by the Judicial Officer of his functions. According to the Zemstvo diplomas, the Supreme Power understood that new elected officials could also commit corruption offences, which included an explicit ban on accepting gifts in connection with the exercise of their functions, and the penalty for violating this ban was the death penalty.

Published: January 2020

Based on the analysis of legislative monuments of law of the Moscow state of the 1516th centuries, public charters and narrative sources, the author attempts to define the terminology in the field of corruption in the Russian law of the period under review, distinguish and promise as a mandatory fee for the conduct of the judiciary of certain legal proceedings, regardless of the outcome of the trial, from the secret bribe and secret extortions, which acquired at that time character of corruption offenses along with extortion and bribery. The main aspects and features of corruption offenses typical for the period of the Moscow state are analyzed and disclosed. Not only such well-known monuments of the Russian law, like the Code of Laws, but also charters, labial mandates and other sources of law in the period of 1516th centuries are studied. The author draws attention to the importance that the legislator of the period under review payed to the fight against local arbitrariness.
SUBSTANTIVE FACTORS OF LEGAL AND ANTI-CORRUPTION EXAMINATION AS A MEANS TO IDENTIFY CORRUPTION RISKS
Authors: Kostunina O. V.
Published: January 2020

In the theoretical and application plan the article examines the relationship between legal and anticorruption examination and their importance for identifying corruption risks in municipal lawmaking. As a research task, the author attempted to evaluate the findings about the overlap between the subject of legal and anti-corruption examination. Based on practical experience, it has been argued that legal defects, which are factors involving corruption, can be identified without anti-corruption examination. Taking into account the interpretation of the existing procedural law, the analysis and synthesis of scientific and practical material on challenging the rules of law showed that the grounds for challenging regulatory legal acts (rules of law) can be either the result of legal or anti-corruption examination. This allegation is also complemented by a consideration of the relationship between the concepts of the conditions for corruption and lack of legal clarity. The article summarizes the new material on the studied topic, and also proposed a new classification of conditions for corruption.

Substituir o arroz branco comum pelos preto ou vermelho, contribui para um envelhecimento mais lento das células do corpo, prevenindo doenças crônicas, pois, estes apresentam um maior teor de compostos fenólicos e atividade antioxidante. Objetiva-se com esta pesquisa, determinar os compostos bioativos em grãos de arroz preto e vermelho. Os grãos de arroz foram adquiridos no comércio local da cidade de Campina Grande, Paraíba. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em janeiro de 2019, no Laboratório de Engenharia Química na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande no Centro de Tecnologia e Recursos Naturais. Foram determinados em triplicatas nos grãos de arroz o teor de antocianinas totais e flavonoides, compostos fenólicos totais e a atividade antioxidante. O teor de antocianinas totais e flavonoides seguiram o método pH único descrito pro Francis (1982). O método consiste em uma transferência quantitativa de uma alíquota do extrato concentrado para um recipiente e então essa alíquota é diluída com uma quantidade de solução Etanol – HCl a 1,5 mol.L-1 tendo assim um volume de extrato diluído. Os compostos fenólicos totais foram quantificados a partir do método de Folin-Ciocalteau, utilizando ácido gálico como padrão. Os cálculos realizados para a determinação dos compostos fenólicos foram baseados em uma curva padrão com ácido gálico, e as leituras realizadas em espectrofotômetro a 765 nm, com os resultados expressos em (mgGAE.100g-1 de ácido gálico). Maiores teores de antocianinas totais e flavonoides foram obtidos para os grãos de arroz vermelho, no entanto, para o teor de compostos fenólicos totais não houve diferença estatística significativa. Portanto, evidencia-se que os grãos de arroz preto e vermelho apresentam teores significativos de compostos fenólicos totais, sendo os grãos pretos com elevada atividade antioxidante.

Os Blends constituem-se como uma importante alternativa para o processamento de frutas, agregando maior valor econômico e nutricional ao produto. Objetivou-se através do presente estudo o desenvolvimento de um blend liofilizado à partir das polpas de kiwi e maracujá, avaliar as suas características físico-químicas. O blend das duas frutas (in natura e liofilizado) foram carcaterizados quanto aos seguintes parâmetros físico-químicos: teor de umidade, atividade de água, sólidos solúveis totais (SST), acidez total titulável (ATT), ratio (SST/ATT), pH, e vitamina C. O blend liofilizado foi determinado as seguintes propriedades físicas: solubilidade, densidade aparente e compactada, índice de Carr e Fator de Hausner. Através do processo de liofilização as amostras apresentaram menor teor de umidade e de atividade de água, indicando maior estabilidade do produto durante o armazenamento. Foi observado também o aumento dos seguintes parâmetros: acidez total titulável, sólidos solúveis totais e ratio. Com relação as propriedades físicas do blend liofilizado, o mesmo apresentou-se com média solubilidade, boa fluidez e de baixa coesividade. Portanto, o desenvolvimento do blend de kiwi e maracujá é uma excelente alternativa para o aproveitamento da matéria-prima, por se tratar de um produto que apresentará elevado valor nutricional.
