La « réussite » en éducation : dispositif et mode de gouvernement contemporain
Authors: Cairo Crocco Mariagrazia
Published: March 2022

La « réussite » semble être l’un des mots d’ordre des politiques de l’éducation, de la formation et de l’orientation depuis quelques décennies. Réussir pour ne pas être en échec, accroitre ses compétences et son « capital humain ». La « réussite » est une préoccupation politique qui s’articule également aux expérimentations et créations de savoirs et aux modes d’existence singuliers. D’une part des mesures sans cesse renouvelées sont expérimentées puis rejetées et encore recyclées sous de nouvelles formes ; d’autre part, des processus de subjectivation et d’assujettissement se croisent dans des espaces de travail en perpétuelle mutation. Réussir semble alors un effort individuel mais également une obligation sociale, économique et politique. Les analyses du pouvoir et de la gouvernementalité de Michel Foucault peuvent fournir une grille de lecture pertinente afin de saisir la « réussite » comme un « dispositif » encastré dans la rationalité politique contemporaine.
Des réussites bien particulières dans un dispositif de coprésence du champ de la protection de l’enfance : entre énigmes et paris
Authors: Stroumza Kim , Pittet Marc , Pont Anne-Françoise , Krummenacher Laetitia , Fersini Flavio
Published: March 2022

Cet article s’intéresse à des moments de coprésence entre parent(s), enfant(s) et professionnel(s) en appui sur des activités de l’ordre de l’ordinaire (parler, manger, jouer…) à l’intérieur d’un dispositif de placement du champ de la protection de l’enfance en Suisse. Dans une démarche d’analyse du travail (observations, films, entretiens d’autoconfrontation), nous cherchons à décrire non seulement comment le dispositif fait agir les professionnels, les parents, les enfants ou comment il agit sur eux mais aussi comment les professionnels agissent dans et avec le dispositif. Plus particulièrement nous cherchons à comprendre comment dans ces moments de coprésence, les professionnels jouent (de) et déjouent les rapports de force inhérents à un dispositif d’aide-contrainte dans le cours de leurs activités, pour réussir à favoriser des effets (implications réciproques, participation et appropriation de la mesure) qu’ils ne peuvent viser directement et qui constituent parfois une réussite bien particulière

The methodology used, its steps, techniques, and methods applied in the development of projects will be presented, as well as the achieved results.
Learning Engineering Ethics
Authors: Nylund Roger , Malheiro Benedita
Published: March 2022

Ethics promotes collective respect, well-being, and development. Its values drive individual, social, and environmental conduct and apply to all human activities. Professional ethics or deontology refers to the moral obligations binding professionals to society in the work sphere. These moral obligations are fundamental in professions that, like engineering, are behind technological innovation, given its current daily and worldwide impact. As such, it is essential to train engineers for holistic problem-solving, that is, driven by ethical, sustainability, technical, and economic constraints. This chapter analyses engineering ethics and how it is addressed within the European Project Semester, an undergraduate one-semester international exchange program, focusing on this aspect of engineering education. European Project Semester relies on multicultural teamwork, project-based learning, ethics, and sustainability-oriented design to motivate and prepare global engineers committed to protecting and improving life on the planet.

Authors: Gasch Isabel , Martínez-Corral Aurora , Matarredona-Desantes Nuria
Published: March 2022

Treating cities as laboratories and as learning and experimental objects has many advantages playing an important role in fostering and supporting the circular transition. A city is an accessible and inexhaustible resource for considering motivating challenges to those learning any subject, and its nearness and complexity make it ideal for university students. This chapter explains this concept and describes the method and results obtained by two different examples and a related workshop with groups of students of the European Project Semester. The first was a learning experiment on the inclusive city carried out during the academic year 2018/19, and the second was on the redesign of the Valencia bus station as a challenge during the 2020/2021 academic year, including the workshop as preparatory activity. In this chapter, the authors explain a reflexive-type activity that contributes to exploring the city as a complex environment collaborating through university activity in the necessary transition towards more sustainable cities.

Authors: J. Rangarajan , J. Kirubakaran , R. Praveena , K. Shenbagadevi
Published: March 2022

All electronics equipment and devices emit electromagnetic energy. The emitted energy creates electromagnetic interference to the nearby electronic equipment. Shielding is the only effective method of reducing this type of interference without disturbing and reducing the performance of complex electronic systems. Shielding cages usually have openings or slots to provide ventilation and enable access to electronic components placed inside the cage. In this chapter, the impact of dimension of the shielding cage and the number of slots in the shielding cage are investigated. Relative permittivity reflects the electrical characteristics. Its impact on shielding effectiveness is also analyzed in this chapter. Simulation results shows decrease in the shielding effectiveness with the increase in number of slots as well as increase in relative permittivity. In addition, the shielding effectiveness decreases with the increase in frequency.

Published: March 2022

Oil shales have unstable mechanical and chemical properties, which makes their extraction for characterization and conventional mechanical testing uneasy and complex. Most often, mechanical property measurements are usually taken from core samples that are costly to extract and test using conventional testing methods. This paper presents a focused study carried out on oil shale cuttings obtained from the sidewalls of two different wellbore depths in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. Using the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) characterization techniques, the morphology of these shales was studied. The results obtained clearly showed the composition, bonding and variations in the morphology of the studied shale samples. Furthermore, the heterogeneity associated with these shales across varied depths were revealed. An efficient and less expensive technique compared to conventional testing methods, instrumented indentation testing (IIT) was carried out to obtain essential mechanical parameters of the shale specimen. These properties are important parameters in determining the hydrocarbon storage space of shale formations, wellbore stability, and optimization of hydraulic fracturing which is necessary for efficient drilling operations.
Study of the Rheological Behaviour and the Curvature Radius Effects on a Non Newtonian Fluid Flow in a Curved Square Duct
Authors: Bouzit Fayçal , Bouzit Mohamed , Mokeddem Mourad
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Fluid flows through curved pipes are frequently encountered in various industrial or biomedical applications. These flows, under the effect of the centrifugal force resulting from the curvature of the pipe, causes an instability phenomenon known as Dean instability, which results in the appearance of two or more counter-rotating vortex cells. The objective of this work is to determine numerically the effect of geometric parameters and rheological behavior of the fluid, including the index of behavior on the occurrence and development of the instability of Dean in a 180° curved duct. The governing equations including the full Navier-Stokes, the continuity and the Momentum are solved in three dimensions using the commercial code ANSYS-CFX, under the conditions of laminar, stationary and incompressible flow. In the first part, the results of the flow of a shear thinning fluid and a shear thickening fluid for a Dean number Dn = 125 and a radius of curvature Rc = 15.1 are presented. These calculation results gave a good agreement with the measured values extracted from the literature. The second part concerns the influence of the curvature ratio and the rheological behaviour of the fluid, the presence of two stationary secondary recirculations, as well as the appearance and the development of two additional vortices are highlighted. The main point observed is that the decrease in the curvature radius increases the instability of the flow through the pipe and this increases the number of vortex cells (Dean vortex). The velocity of the flow and its rheological nature are essential parameters for the reduction of instability in the canal.
Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Natural Convection Flow in a Test Bench for Solar Air Heaters

Published: March 2022

This paper is intended to check the thermal convection flow during a new solar air heater (SAH) test bench, which is conducted in the LASEM laboratory. In fact, the applied system includes two-passage heater solar air separated by an absorber. On the other hand, a glass piece is connected to the box prototype via a pipe. Then, the piece of the glass is attached to the front side of this device in which an absorber is inserted. Moreover, two circular holes are made on the same face of the box prototype. The first is an entry hole through which hot air goes inside, and an exit hole through which air is released into the surrounding area. The study was conducted using the Navier-Stokes equations associated with the k–ω turbulence model through the use of the newly released Ansys 17.0 software to characterize the aero-thermal structure of our new system operating in natural convection. In these conditions, it has been observed that the hot zone created on the mirror side receiving the solar radiation generates an ascendant movement. It goes from the bottom to the top and enters the box prototype. The same phenomenon is also created in the box where the airflow coming from the solar heat escapes into the environment. This movement created between the hot zone of the solar heat and the box prototype is also imposed in the cold zone of the solar heat on the heat-insulating side. In these conditions, the air movement is however from the top to the bottom. Indeed, the acceleration of the air velocity at the inlet of the solar heat is due to the change of the section which is more reduced by comparison to the rest of the air circulation duct. Based on our experimental results generated in a two-passage solar air heater connected to the box prototype, the computational approach and the simulation results were validated. By referring to the classic solar air heater with one passage, the energy efficiency measured in the same conditions was enhanced and presented the efficient one with an improvement of about 27%. Finally, the numerical results are compared to our experimental results and those obtained by the authors. The comparison proved a good agreement.

Authors: Olawuyi Oluwole A. , Kareem Mutiu , Ishola Kazeem , Bolaji Raseed O. , Fadipe Olusola O.
Published: March 2022

This study investigates the effects of waste glass as a replacement for fine and coarse aggregates on the strength properties of concrete. Fine waste glass (FWG) and coarse waste glass (CWG) were utilised to replace natural fine and coarse aggregates at replacement rates of 0%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, with a constant water-to-binder (w/b) ratio of 0.5 and a mix ratio of 1:1½:3 for M25 grade. The workability of fresh concrete mix was determined with the slump test. To assess the hardened characteristics of concrete, compressive and tensile strength tests were performed at 7, 14, and 28 days’ curing ages. The results show that the workability of concrete decreases as the FWG and CWG contents in the concrete mix increase. The 28-day compressive and tensile strengths of concrete increased by 28% and 16% respectively, with the replacement of up to 15% FWG and CWG, respectively compared to the control. However, the compressive and tensile strengths of concrete reduces with further replacement of fine and coarse aggregate with waste glass. The strength properties of concrete are improved at the optimum permissible level of 15% FWG and CWG, respectively, as a substitute for conventional fine and coarse aggregates. It was concluded that using waste glass as a constituent material in concrete production is a viable option for disposing of waste glass and lowering concrete production costs.

LE API DI VIRGILIO, SOMMO POETA ED ETOLOGO ANTE LITTERAM
Authors: Fontana Paolo
Published: March 2022

The poet Virgil is linked to honey bees both for his biography and for his literary works. Some verses of Virgil’s main works, the Bucolics, the Georgics and the Aeneid, are analyzed and interpreted, demonstrating a clear familiarity of the poet with these insects. In the Bucolics, honey bees play a symbolic role as well as in the Aeneid, where however their role is anything but marginal. As for the fourth book of the Georgics, what Virgil writes on the phenomena inherent to swarming is reinterpreted in a bio-ethological key, demonstrating how he had the opportunity to directly observe some phenomena of the life of the beehive still today poorly investigated from a scientific point of view. The poet Virgil can therefore be considered an ethologist ante litteram. A comparison is then made between some images on honey bees present in Virgil literary works and what, in relation to these insects, is found in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy.

Published: March 2022

OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have estimated the risk of death associated with unemployment in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, but no studies have examined unemployment before COVID-19 infection as a risk factor for COVID-19-related mortality. Thus, this study aimed to investigate COVID-19 mortality among this population.METHODS: Data on 50,038 people aged 25-59 years were collected from 38 agencies in Fars Province, Iran, from February 2020 to July 2021. Follow-up lasted from participants’ diagnosis with COVID-19 based on the results of a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test to participants’ death or the end of the study period. The association between unemployment and COVID-19-related mortality was estimated using the Poisson regression method, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to calculate the E-value.RESULTS: Unemployment was associated with a 2.41-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.01 to 2.90) higher age-adjusted and sex-adjusted risk of COVID-19-related mortality. The adjusted Poisson regression analysis showed 8.82 (95% CI, 6.42 to 12.11), 2.84 (95% CI, 1.90 to 4.24), and 1.58 (95% CI, 1.24 to 2.01) times higher risks of COVID-19-related mortality among unemployed people aged 25-39 years, 40-49 years, and 50-59 years, respectively, than among their employed counterparts. Unemployment increased the risk of COVID-19 mortality by 3.31 (95% CI, 2.31 to 4.74) and 2.30 (95% CI, 1.86 to 2.84) times in female and male, respectively. The E-value was 3.43, reflecting the minimum strength of confounding required to shift the association between unemployment and COVID-19-related mortality toward the null.CONCLUSIONS: Unemployment prior to COVID-19 infection increased the risk of COVID-19-related mortality. COVID-19-related mortality disproportionately impacted unemployed women and younger unemployed people.

Compressing the Timelines for Development and Delivery: Accelerating Access to Triple-Drug Therapy to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis
Authors: Jacobson Julie
Published: March 2022

The traditional timeline for a new innovation in public health to move from initial proof of concept to introduction into national programs is sequential and can take decades. Here, we discuss the development of a new drug therapy for lymphatic filariasis (LF) to help progress toward elimination as a public health problem and how this process was accelerated by a group of partners working together. This article documents the way that these partners worked together and made decisions that made it possible to accelerate the process of the development and introduction of the triple-drug therapy involving ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine, and albendazole (IDA). The partners were able to condense the development timeline from the first clinical efficacy data to delivery in a country program for the triple-drug therapy from a projected ∼28 years to less than 5 years while maintaining all of the safety standards. The approach required understanding stakeholders, their roles, need for data to inform decisions, and then looking at timelines focused on prioritizing activities that inform decision-making. This process relied on a close engagement of all stakeholders and good communication. Through this exercise, additional early data review points were added to study designs, studies were run in parallel not sequentially, and a plan put in place to engage all stakeholders necessary for adoption and uptake throughout the process, so they were prepared to make decisions as data became available. This process could provide some insights into how global health can work together in new ways to accelerate the availability of interventions and strategies to promote health and well-being.
Comunicación Efectiva y acciones para el buen vivir en la educación superior
Authors: Bernal-Álava Ángel Fortunato
Published: March 2022

El Buen Vivir-Bien Vivir es un término que infiere los principios de constituir una ética diferente como una forma alternativa de vivir. Este enfoque ético pretende construir relaciones de convivencia y complementariedad entre los seres humanos y entre estos y la naturaleza. Esto se expresa en la renuncia a la visión de "vivir mejor" proclamada por el paradigma en desarrollo, en un recorrido del criterio de eficiencia hacia la suficiencia como principio rector de la acción y en el acto de abandonar el antropocentrismo y sustituirlo por un enfoque Global. En el Contexto Educativo-comunicativo, La comunicación efectiva tiene una gran importancia y es una variable esencial que influye en la calidad de su actividad, los éxitos de los actores involucrados, el bienestar de los docentes, las generaciones de personas valiosas. Por lo tanto, una sociedad con un proceso educativo bien dirigido es, de hecho, una sociedad abierta a la innovación. Palabras claves: Comunicación efectiva, Buen vivir, Educación.
Assessement of Enterprise Interoperability Maturity Level through Generative and Recognition Mo
Authors: Kadar Manuella
Published: March 2022

In a globalized and networked society, enterprise interoperability is a key factor of success for enterprises in their effort to maximize their own added values and to exploit the market opportunities. The sustainable enterprise interoperability is a continuous challenge of the networked collaborative environment. By making business decisions, managers have to take into account the maturity level of their own enterprise and of others’ with whom they get involved into businesses. Maturity level of enterprise interoperability has been defined by the Framework for Enterprise Interoperability (FEI), standardized by CEN EN ISO 11354. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to assess maturity levels of enterprise interoperability (MLEI) through latent factor analysis (LFA) and generative and recognition models applied to the categories and features defined by FEI. Given an enterprise interoperability maturity matrix we have trained a stochastic neural network, namely Restricted Bolzmann Machine (RBM) to learn the MLEI. Our research seeks to answer the following questions: whether the maturity level assessed by evaluators correlate with the maturity levels recognized by RBM trained in a supervised learning representation, and how to model recognition matrix of MLEI by using maturity level correlations between observed performances (inputs) and latent or hidden factors that influence the correct assessment. We considered a maturity level correlation matrix representing the enterprise features as defined in FEI in addition to a set of latent factors, representing the type of maturity level of each individual enterprise. Our proposal is based on a generative and a recognition model using deterministic non-linear functions in a Bayesian setting. The model has been tested on artificial data by training a RBM. Experiments on artificial data sets of enterprises proved that our proposal is a reliable approach that can be further developed into a methodology and extended for the design of adaptive learning agents. In the perspective of the Future Internet, such agents may successfully assist human evaluators in the tedious and time consuming process of the assessment of MLEI in real settings.

Authors: Arlt Josef , Arltová Markéta , Klůfa Jindřich
Published: March 2022

Inflation and unemployment are the most important economic indicators for each country. The latest information is always impatiently expected, analyzed and commented not only by economists but also by inhabitants of the country. This article goes back to the original idea of the Phillips curve as a tool for empirical verification of the relationship between inflation and unemployment. The question that arises is whether the unemployment rate can be used to explain the changes in the inflation rate and on the contrary, in the Czech Republic. The verification of this relationship will be carried out on the basis of econometric models (ADL models and cointegration analysis) on the basis of the annual time series from 1995 to 2012.
The Impact of Methodology on the Effectiveness of Bankruptcy Modeling
Authors: Karas Michal , Režňáková Mária
Published: March 2022

The prevailing opinion in literature is that the accuracy of bankruptcy models cannot be appreciably improved by the choice of classification algorithm. A reflection of this conviction is the frequent usage of parametric methods. However, the nature of financial data places a limitation on the accuracy of these methods. An analysis of 1908 Czech industrial enterprises from 2004 to 2011 reveals that a nonparametric method, if used for the selection of model variables as well as the actual classification, can yield significantly better results than the traditional parametric approach.

Authors: Suparta I Ketut Gede
Published: March 2022

In the process of translating the word Holy Spirit into the Balinese Bible, there are differences in concepts with the understanding of balinese people in general. Therefore it is necessary to put forward the proper concept of the Holy Spirit in accordance with the correct meaning as the concept of the Bible itself. Thus the author conducted research on the meaning of the word about the Holy Spirit that can be used in the context of the Balinese language so that the meaning in question is actually understood as intended by the Bible itself, so that the translation of the Bible into Balinese does not deviate from the original meaning. The research approach that the authors use is qualitative research. After conducting the analysis, the author found the word Roh Sang Pengardi as a relevant word for the word Holy Spirit. The word Roh Sang Pengardi can actually provide an understanding that is more in accordance with the concept of the Bible. The word describes the creator person, of which the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who is the creator of the universe. AbstrakDalam proses penerjemahan kata Roh Kudus ke Alkitab bahasa Bali, terdapat perbedaan konsep dengan pemahaman masyarakat Bali pada umumnya. Oleh sebab itu perlu dikemukakan konsep yang tepat tentang Roh kudus sesuai dengan makna yang benar seperti konsep Alkitab itu sendiri. Dengan demikian penulis mengadakan penelitian makna kata tentang Roh Kudus yang dapat dipakai dalam konteks bahasa Bali agar makna yang dimaksud benar-benar dipahami seperti yang dimaksudkan oleh Alkitab itu sendiri, sehingga penerjemahan Alkitab ke dalam bahasa Bali tidak menyimpang dari makna yang asli. Pendekatan penelitian yang penulis gunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif. Setelah melakukan analisis, penulis menemukan kata Roh Sang Hyang Pengardi sebagai kata yang relevan untuk kata Roh Kudus. Kata Roh Sang Hyang Pengardi justru dapat memberikan pemahaman yang lebih sesuai dengan konsep Alkitab.

The main focus of this research is to explain the role of philosophy in evangelism. This is done, there are findings of problems that view philosophy with suspicion and are advised to avoid it, besides that philosophy is considered as the work of the devil that can distort one's faith in Christ. To examine this, here uses an analytical method on the history of Christian philosophy with a qualitative method approach. The purpose of this research is to prove that philosophy does not deviate Christians from their faith, philosophy is also not the work of the devil and does not need to be viewed negatively or avoided, but philosophy can actually be used and plays a role in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to people who find it difficult to believe and demand there is scientific evidence against his mind regarding the gospel of Jesus Christ. The conclusion of this research is that philosophy can play a role in bridging difficulties in preaching the gospel, philosophy can be used to play a role in expanding the preaching of the gospel and philosophy can also help in giving accountability for the gospel message that is conveyed.
Lernunterstützung im Literaturgespräch
Authors: Magirius Marco , Scherf Daniel , Steinmetz Michael
Published: March 2022

Gespräche gelten als das zentrale Medium der Auseinandersetzung mit Literatur in der Institution Schule und regen sowohl zur ästhetischen Erfahrung als auch zur literaturbezogenen Erkenntnis an. Offenere Formen des Gesprächs werden dabei vonseiten der Didaktik dem stärker gelenkten fragend-entwickelnden Unterrichtsgespräch als überlegen angesehen. Welche Rolle eine Lehrkraft idealerweise im gesprächsförmigen Literaturunterricht einnehmen sollte, um eine bestimmte Wirkung zu erzielen, ist empirisch jedoch nicht geklärt.

In unserem Beitrag stellen wir einige Resultate einer Studie vor, die zur Klärung dieser Frage beitragen. Anhand von vier Unterrichtsstunden zum Kurzprosatext Der blaue Falke (Jürg Schubiger) wurde untersucht, welche Komponenten einer authentischen – mithin weder künstlich arrangierten noch einer bestimmten didaktischen Konzeption eindeutig folgenden – Unterrichtskommunikation als spezifische Qualitätsaspekte gesprächsförmigen Literaturunterrichts eruiert werden können. Diese Qualitätsaspekte, die wir inhaltsanalytisch erfasst haben und mit denen wir an die literaturdidaktische Aufgabenforschung anknüpfen, setzen wir in Beziehung zu Fragebogendaten von Schüler*innen, die das Erleben sowie den Lernwert des Gesprächs betreffen.

Abiotic stresses have a negative impact on the productivity and survival of plants throughout the world, including agricultural crops. Currently climatic conditions such as drought, extreme temperatures and sources of pollution that deteriorate the soil and water have increased greatly. Plants have developed molecular, morphological and physiological mechanisms in order to counteract various types of stress, both biotic and abiotic. Knowing mechanisms like these help to implement conservation and genetic improvement strategies in plants, useful both for the agricultural sector and in bioremediation. Therefore, this work seeks to demonstrate the effect of abiotic stress on Fabaceae, by comparing different parameters studied in 10 plant species of the Fabaceae family.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Descriptive study of judicial sentences in cases of blood transfusion in Jehovah’s Witness patients in the state of São Paulo with the aim of collecting data on the processes and improving the medico-legal understanding on the subject. Method: research was carried out on the website of the São Paulo State Court of Justice (TJSP), in the free search box typed “transfusion” AND “Jehovah’s Witness”, with a limited date until Aug. 15th 2020, which was the end date of data collection, with no initial date limit. All sentences were read. Inclusion criteria were the identification of sentences in which the initial conflict was blood transfusion in Jehovah’s Witness patients and exclusion of sentences where blood transfusion was included as a way to increase the damage claim and not as the initial conflict. Objective: To analyze claimants and defendants in cases where there was a legal conflict regarding the possibility or performance of blood transfusion in a Jehovah’s Witness patient. Result: The legal actions were brought by the patients themselves in 63.63% of the sentences. Most prevalent defendants were hospitals and health insurance providers, each of them sued in 31.81% of the cases. Conclusion: 63.63% of the lawsuits were filed by the patients themselves, with 85.71% of these sentences being dismissed. The institutions most prosecuted for conflicts related to blood transfusion were hospitals and health insurance providers (31.81% each). In the case of lawsuits against hospitals, 85.71% were dismissed, and against health insurance providers, 71.42% were dismissed.

Estudo de virulência de Salmonella spp. isolados de linfonodos mesentéricos suinos: uma abordagem utilizando o sequenciamento de genoma completo
Authors:   , Souza Weyber Ferreira
Published: March 2022

Salmonella spp. é um importante patógeno causador de doenças de origem alimentar, gerando impactos na economia e saúde pública. Esta dissertação está dividida em dois capítulos, o primeiro com uma revisão sobre o tema e o segundo a apresentação dos resultados da pesquisa. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os componentes genéticos relacionados aos fatores de virulência e genes ortólogos de 10 sorovares. Foram utilizados 27 isolados de Salmonella spp., compreendendo os sorovares S. Derby (n=4), S. Give (n=2), S. Cerro (n=3), S. Typhimurium (n=4), S. I.4[5],12:i:- (n=4), S. Panamá (n=3), S Infantis (n=1), S. Bredeney (n=4), S. London (n=1) e S. Bovimorbificans (n=1) oriundos de linfonodos mesentéricos suínos dos Estados de Minas Gerais, São Paulo e Paraná. Os isolados tiveram seus genes ortologos comparados assim como, a presença de 142 fatores de virulência distribuídos em 20 estruturas que compreendem as ilhas de patogenicidade, ilhotas, genes de regulação, adesão, fimbrias, flagelos, entre outros, por meio do sequenciamento de genoma completo (WGS). O resultado da comparação genômica agrupou os isolados em 3 grupos principais com destaque de um grupo formado somente por Salmonella do Estado de Minas gerais. Além disso, foram preditos um total de 125 genes de virulência, destacando os sorovares S. Typhimurium e S. I.4[5],12:i:- que apresentaram os maiores quantitativos de fatores de virulência, diferentemente dos sorovares S. Derby e S. Cerro. As analises demonstraram que 38 genes (invA, hilA, orgA, prgK, sipA, sipB, sipC, sipD, slrP, sopA, sopD, sopE2, spaO, sptP, sifA, sseB, sseC, sseL, ssrA, ttrC, spiC, mgtC, sopB, pagN, sodC1, phoP, phoQ, tolC, sdiA, entF, fhuA, leuO, oxyR, slyA, fimA, flgL, flgK, fliC) apresentaram 100% de frequência nos isolados. Os genes relacionados as ilhas de patogenicidade, regulação, fimbrias e flagelos se mostraram bem conservados em todos os genomas estudados. Assim, a constante investigação de Salmonella em suínos fornece dados para subsidiar respostas ligados ao aspecto epidemiológico do agente. Além disso, estudo genéticos como, por exemplo, a pesquisa de genes de virulência auxiliam em um melhor entendimento da patogenicidade e subsidiam informações para o controle e desenvolvimento de programas relacionados e este agente.
