Published: July 2017

O ioga, combinação de exercício físico leve, respiração lenta e meditação é considerada uma terapia alternativa e tem se mostrado eficaz no controle de pressão arterial (PA) elevada. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar o efeito agudo de uma sessão de ioga na pressão arterial (PA) e na frequência cardíaca (FC) de hipertensas durante uma hora após a sessão. Participaram do presente estudo 10 mulheres (média 58±10 anos) hipertensas controladas por medicamento. A PA e FC foram medidas utilizando aparelhos de monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial (MAPA) (WelchAllyn, ABPM 6100) posicionado no braço não dominante, e programado para fazer as medições a cada 10 minutos após a sessão de ioga. As voluntárias participaram de duas visitas, sendo uma apenas para controle, onde ficaram uma hora em repouso na posição sentada com o aparelho de MAPA e na segunda visita, cada participante fez uma sessão de uma hora de ioga e permaneceu uma hora sentada com o aparelho de MAPA. Os dados estão apresentados em mediana e variância interquartil (P75-P25). Para verificar a normalidade dos dados referente a PAS, PAD e FC foi aplicado o teste de Shapiro-Wilk. Optou-se pela utilização do teste de Friedman seguido pelas múltiplas comparações propostas por Dunn-Bonferroni, para comparar as os diferentes momentos e grupos. Os dados foram processados no programa estatístico SPSS 20.0 e o nível de significância adotado foi de P<0,05. A PAS do dia controle aumentou 7 mmHg e após o ioga aumentou 20 mmHg, ambos no minuto 60. Em relação à PAD do dia controle houve aumento de 2 mmHg e na sessão ioga, aumento de 8 mmHg, ambos no minuto 60. Referente à FC, durante a sessão controle e após a sessão de ioga houve diminuição na FC. Conclui-se que apenas uma sessão de ioga não contribuiu para a diminuição da PAS e PAD em mulheres hipertensas e que a FC diminui tanto com ou sem a realização do protocolo de ioga.

PARALELIZAÇÃO DA COMPONENTE DE SUPERFÍCIE DO MODELO HIDROLÓGICO DISTRIBUÍDO DA BIOSFERA
Authors: Navarrete Nelson Leonardo Vidaurre , Tatsch Jônatan Dupont
Published: July 2017

Modelos hidrológicos distribuídos acoplados a modelos de superfície são uma ferramenta numérica importante para avaliação de impactos das mudanças climáticas e do uso da terra. A maior disponibilidade de dados em alta resolução espacial implica em um aumento no custo computacional e de armazenamento de dados pelos modelos. A computação paralela e distribuída fornece uma alternativa eficiente para reduzir o tempo computacional tornando viável a realização de cenários, tendo em vista o grande número de simulações necessárias para a calibração dos parâmetros do modelo. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi reduzir o tempo de simulação do Modelo Hidrológico Distribuído da Biosfera (DBHM) através da paralelização do Modelo Simples da Biosfera (SiB2), que corresponde à sua componente de superfície do DBHM. O modelo de paralelização foi desenvolvido para máquinas com memória distribuída, baseado em técnicas de decomposição de domínio e faz uso da biblioteca MPI para passagens de mensagens. A independência horizontal nesta parte do modelo viabiliza uma decomposição unidimensional ou bidimensional com balanceamento de carga adequado. Os nossos testes com até 64 processadores mostraram uma boa escalabilidade. A subsequente paralelização do DBHM tornará viável a simulação do ciclo hidrológico em bacias de maior escala, em alta resolução e em um tempo computacionalmente aceitável.

A Radiação Solar é considerada a principal fonte de energia para processos físicos. O conhecimento relacionado a Radiação Solar e ao Balanço de Energia, na superfície, são de extrema importância uma vez que a vida terrestre está condicionada a quantidade de energia disponível. Entretanto, medições da energia, disponíveis em superfície, para processos atmosféricos não são, em geral, mensuradas em estações convencionais, informações estas muito importantes, por exemplo, na modelagem de superfície. Neste sentido, este trabalho pretende analisar a relação existente entre o Saldo de Radiação () e a quantidade de radiação de ondas curtas incidente na superfície () com o auxílio da Teoria de Identificação de Sistemas. Os dados para estimação de parâmetros e validação do modelo foram obtidos de uma torre micrometeorológica situada no município de Santa Maria-RS. Os resultados apresentados pelo modelo indicam que ele representou satisfatoriamente os dados de  para o período analisado.
ANÁLISE DE CICLONE COM FLEXIBILIDADE OPERACIONAL POR TÉCNICAS DE CFD
Authors: Haake Jairo , Rosa Leonardo Machado da , Noriler Dirceu , Meier Henry França
Published: July 2017

Ciclones são equipamentos robustos, utilizados para a separação de material particulado em escoamentos. Em contrapartida à sua robustez, ciclones são projetados para uma determinada condição operacional. Desta maneira, alterações na velocidade de entrada e na razão de carga podem prejudicar a eficiência de separação, devido a mudanças no comprimento natural do vórtice. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é estudar a eficiência de separação e a perda de carga em uma nova geometria capaz de estabilizar o vórtice interno do ciclone sem a utilização de um corpo cônico. Esta nova geometria de separador ciclônico possui uma mesa estabilizadora de altura variável, tornando-o flexível para uma ampla faixa de vazão e razão de carga. As simulações foram realizadas usando um modelo transiente, tridimensional com uma abordagem Euleriana-Euleriana. O modelo de tensores de Reynolds (RSM) foi utilizado para modelar a turbulência na fase contínua e a fase discreta foi considerada como invíscida. Os resultados demonstram a possibilidade de estabilizar o vórtice interno diante de alteração na velocidade e na razão de carga, preservando a performance operacional com níveis adequados de eficiência de separação. A comparação com a simulação de um ciclone convencional indica redução significativa na perda de carga para a nova geometria, requerendo menos energia para a separação do particulado presente no escoamento.

Published: July 2017

Com o objetivo de dar a conhecer a qualidade do leite cru de ovinos da área geográfica de produção do Queijo Terrincho DOP, desenvolveu-se este estudo numa queijaria em Vilas Boas, freguesia de Vila Flor. Foram recolhidas 70 amostras de leite cru de ovelha da raça Churra da Terra Quente (CTQ) e 138 amostras de leite cru de ovelha de “outras raças” ao longo de cinco meses (Fevereiro a Junho de 2012). As amostras foram submetidas a análises realizadas por um laboratório interprofissional acreditado (ALIP), onde os parâmetros analisados foram relativos à qualidade físico-química (gordura, proteína e ponto de congelação) e higiénica do leite (contagem de células somáticas). Estas determinações foram comparadas em função dos diferentes tipos de leite (CTQ e “outras raças”). Os resultados evidenciaram qualidade superior para a produção de queijo no leite da raça CTQ em comparação com o leite de “outras raças” sendo o primeiro mais rico em termos de gordura com um valor médio de 7,58% e 5,82% de teor proteico médio. O leite fornecido para a produção de Queijo Terrincho DOP é de qualidade aceitável, sendo o parâmetro da contagem das células somáticas destacado com valores um pouco mais elevados mas, mesmo assim, inferior a 1000 × 103 cel/mL, contrariamente ao que sucedeu no leite de “outras raças”, que ultrapassou esse valor.

Economic assessment of an integrated drainage management system for a regional irrigation-drainage network
Authors: Gotsis Dimitris , Giakoumakis Spyros
Published: July 2017

The disposal of the excessive volume of degraded water coming from agricultural drainage systems is a serious environmental and economic issue, since a significant load of agrochemicals and salts contaminates water bodies downstream. An integrated on-farm drainage management (IFDM) system is an effective method of treatment by successively irrigating zones with drainage water. Each zone is cultivated with crops that have increasing tolerance to salinity, so that the drainage water effluents are minimized to an extent that the final drainage water volume is collected into an evaporation pond. The methodology of the system is proposed herein for a regional irrigation-drainage network (E1 in Agoulinitsa irrigation district in western Greece) as a method of reducing the disposal of agrochemicals in the coastal environment. Based on the design principles of an IFDM system, both the surface area of every irrigation zone and the costs of installing and operating the system are assessed. A scenario regarding the volume of drainage water that must be treated is examined as a sensitivity analysis. The results show that almost 15% of the cultivated area must be bounded for non-productive uses, resulting in a significant economic impact on the net present value of the investment.
Development of an efficient approach for separating bubbles and flocs in a submerged membrane ultrafiltration process
Authors: Guo Can , Liu Baicang , Chen Chen , Chang Haiqing , Wang Shuai , He Meibo , Crittenden John
Published: July 2017

This work was carried out to investigate the impact of air scouring and membrane configuration on ultrafiltration (UF) performance in a hybrid process of coagulation-UF. To eliminate the adverse impacts of air scouring, the concept of separating flocs in the submerged membrane module was proposed. The performance of three types of floc separation devices, including a cylinder module, a module without a floc separation device and a stacked inclined plate module, was compared. In the coagulation-UF process (i.e., without air scouring), the average transmembrane pressure (TMP) growth rates of the cylinder module, the module without a floc separation device and the inclined plate module were 0.58, 0.76 and 1.38 kPa/h, respectively, indicating lighter membrane fouling of the former two membrane configurations. In the coagulation-air scouring-UF process (with an air scouring rate of 35 mL/min), the stacked inclined plate module showed better effluent water quality (lower UV254) and floc integrity (the floc size was about twice that of the other two configurations). Further, the optimization of the air scouring rate was conducted when the inclined plate module was used, and the optimal value was determined to be 60 mL/min for air rates ranging from 0 to 100 mL/min.

Performance and Kinetics of Nitrification of Low Ammonia Wastewater at Low Temperature
Authors: Liu Xiaoguang , Kim Mingu , Nakhla George
Published: July 2017

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dissolved oxygen on nitrification in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) treating low ammonia wastewater (40 mg N/L) at a low temperature (14 °C). During the 130 days of operation, three dissolved oxygen levels (5–6 mg dissolved oxygen/L, 2–3 mg dissolved oxygen/L, and 0.8–1.0 mg dissolved oxygen/L) were tested. Dissolved oxygen reduction resulted in lower ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) activity, with decreasing ammonia conversion ratio and increasing nitrite accumulation ratio. The maximum growth rates of AOB and NOB determined in this study (0.28 and 0.38 d−1) were below the median values from the literature (0.47 and 0.62 d−1), whereas the oxygen half‐saturation coefficients of AOB and NOB (1.36 and 2.79 mg/L) were higher than those found in the literature. The kinetic model explained the SBR performance well. Low dissolved oxygen, together with long solids retention time, was recommended for partial nitrification at a low temperature.
Trends in Financing Dental Education, 2004–05 to 2011–12
Authors: Bailit Howard L. , Beazoglou Tryfon
Published: July 2017

This article examines dental school financial trends from 2004–05 to 2011–12, based on data from the American Dental Association (ADA) annual financial survey completed by all U.S. dental schools. For public schools, revenues from tuition and fees increased 68.6%, and state support declined 17.2% over the examined period. For private schools, revenues from tuition and fees increased 38.9%, and university indirect subsidies declined 77.9% over the same period. The major factors affecting dental school expenditures were the number of students and postdoctoral students, faculty practice, and research. The findings suggest that dental schools are now more dependent financially on tuition and fees than in the past. Schools have been able to pass on increases in operating costs to students and specialty postdoctoral students. Now that growth in dentists’ incomes is slowing and student debt is at an all‐time high, this financing strategy may not be sustainable in the long run.

The Impact of Improved Oral Health on the Utilization of Dental Services
Authors: Eklund Stephen A.
Published: July 2017

Since the mid‐20th century, there has been a remarkable decline in dental caries in the United States. The effects of that caries decline have now been demonstrated well into the adult population. These improvements in oral health are resulting in substantial declines in the reparative and restorative dental services being provided to the affected individuals, who comprise a growing part of the population. Because of fewer compromised teeth, extractions and their sequelae also are declining. Much of the recall and periodontal maintenance care can be provided by allied dental personnel. As the older age cohorts, who were children before the caries decline occurred, become an ever‐smaller part of the population, the number of patients an individual dentist can treat in a year is likely to increase. This article was written as part of the project “Advancing Dental Education in the 21st Century.”
Dental Group Practice and the Need for Dentists
Authors: Gesko David S. , Bailit Howard L.
Published: July 2017

This study compared the number of patients treated per year by general dentists and dental hygienists in solo practice and by those employed by a large group practice. Information on the annual number of patient visits to solo general dental practitioners comes from the 2013 American Dental Association (ADA) Survey of Dental Practice. Patient visits were divided by 2.5 to estimate the number of patients treated annually. The data on group practices come from HealthPartners (HP) of Minnesota, a large not‐for‐profit medical and dental Health Maintenance Organization that accepts insurance contracts based on global budgets and is financially at risk. In 2013, solo general dentists averaged 1,350 patients, while the average HP general dentist treated 2,052 patients. HP general dentists thus treated over 700 more patients annually than did solo practitioners. This large difference has major implications for the future of the dental delivery system and dental education.

Projecting the Demand for Dental Care in 2040
Authors: Manski Richard J. , Meyerhoefer Chad D.
Published: July 2017

The purpose of this study was to provide a forward‐thinking assessment of the underlying factors likely to impact trends in dental care demand and the need for dental providers in 2020, 2025, and beyond. Dental workforce trends and their likely impact on the need for dentists are a function of predicted dental care demand, which will in turn be determined by the size and characteristics of our population size, economic outlook, the state of public and private dental care insurance, trends in dental care delivery, professionally determined dental care need, and population health beliefs. Projecting rates of dental care utilization far into the future is difficult because projections must be made using historical data, and established trends may not persist if there is structural change in the future. Nonetheless, when structural change occurs, it does not typically affect all aspects of the economy, so there is value in describing the likely future impact of current trends.

The Role of Oral Health Care Professionals in Providing Medical Services
Authors: Glick Michael , Greenberg Barbara L.
Published: July 2017

Integration of oral health care professionals (OHCPs) into medical care could advance efforts to control increasingly prevalent conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, human immunodeficiency virus infection, and hepatitis C infection, each of which is associated with significant morbidity and health care costs. Prevention and early intervention are effective for reducing the incidence and severity of these diseases, while increasing cost of health care may drive the need for nontraditional models of health education and delivery. Studies have suggested that a dental office is a suitable setting for the purpose of screening and referrals for these conditions and may result in medical expenditure savings. Such innovations would challenge the current dental educational model and the education and training of faculty. Implementing this change would require recognizing opportunities and challenges for the profession and the need for new competencies in dental curricula. Challenges and opportunities are described, including reimbursement models and integration of OHCPs into emerging health care delivery models. Ideas for curricular change are presented, including the need for added emphasis on biological sciences and the introduction of new courses to address systems thinking and forces driving preventive behavior. To embrace the evolving health care arena and be a part of the future interprofessional health care delivery dynamic, dental curricula should also include substantive interprofessional education opportunities.

Elemen-elemen dalam filsafat, meliputi: Ada (Being) (Metafisika dan Ontologi); Pengetahuan (Knowledge) (Epistemologi, Metodologi, Logika, dan Filsafat Ilmu); Nilai/Aksiologi (Value) (Etika dan Estetika). Filsafar seni Nusantara mempunyai 3 elemen: Being, Knowledge, Value. Seni Nusantara tersebar mulai dari Sabang sampai Papua, yang jumlahnya mencapai ribuan. Filsafat seni Nusantara merupakan rangkuman dari dari eksistensi seni dari Sabang sampai Papua. Konteks seni Nusantara, walaupun ada beratus jenis seni namun, seperti konsep ontologisnya Plotinus, tetap berpegang pada yang Transenden. Alam raya (empiris) Nusantara telah memberikan dasar ontologis penciptaan bagi seniman Nusantara (Aristoteles). Secara epistemologis, seni Nusantara mempunyai: sumber pengetahuan, batas pengetahuan, struktur pengetahuan, dan keabsahan pengetahuan. Dalam konteks aksiologi, seni Nusantara terdiri dari 4 jenis nilai, yaitu: kekudusan (holiness), kebaikan (goodness), kebenaran (truth), dan keindahan (beauty). Ketiga elemen dalam filsafat membentuk rajutan dalam seni Nusantara. Elemen-elemen tersebut saling menjalin kesinambungan dan harmoni.

Authors: Titi Andaryani Eka
Published: July 2017

Seni adalah keindahan yang tertuang di dalam sebuah karya. Karya seni muncul tidak dengan serat-merta. Artinya, ada beberapa tahapan atau proses yang melingkupi kemunculan suatu karaya seni. Peran manusia (seniman) sangat menentukan proses terjadinya karya seni. Proses karya seni ini dapat diibaratkat sama dengan proses kemunculannya seorang manusia di bumi ini.  Tahapan-tahapan proses karya seni memberikan sejauh mana karya seni itu muncul sebagai realitas yang estetis. Tahapan-tahapan tersebut, antara lain:  kehamilan, pertumbuhan, kemasakan, sketsa,  dan pembentukan. Kelima tahapan proses terjadinya karya seni tersebut membentuk suatu kesatuan kreativitas manusia (seniman).

DNA and biochemical analysis of a potential opaque2 maize population
Authors: Ignjatovic-Micic Dragana , Nikolic Ana , Nikolic Aleksandra , Kostadinovic Marija
Published: July 2017

Maize has low nutritional value because it is poor in essential amino acids
lysine and tryptophan, but different mutations have been identified that
increase their content. Two high lysine/tryptophan populations from Maize
Research Institute genebank (IP1 and IP2) were identified in a previous
research. In both populations, analysis with umc1066 opaque2 specific marker
detected a recessive (o2), a dominant (O2) and an unknown allele (UA).
However, IP2 lacked homozygous recessive o2o2 genotypes. The aim of the
present research was to determine by DNA and biochemical analysis if UA
allele was a recessive allele and/or if high tryptophan content was due to
the o2 or some other mutation. Tree more opaque accessions with different
mutations - IP3o5, IP4o14 and IP5floury (no data on type of mutation) were
used in biochemical analysis for comparison with IP1 and IP2. Kernels were
divided into two samples - with hard and with soft kernels. The UA allele
sequencing revealed that it was a dominant allele with four GCCAGA repeats.
SSR analysis showed presence of o2 in IP1 in both hard and soft kernels.
Decrease in 22 kDa, 19 kDa and 27 kDa zeins in soft kernels was observed
only in IP1 and IP2. Tryptophan content was high in soft kernels of IP1
(0.081) and IP2 (0.085), and in both hard and soft kernels of IP3o5 (0.083
and 0.085, respectively). It can be concluded that IP1 is an o2 mutant and
that IP2 carries a high tryptophan mutation other than o2, o5, o14 or
floury.
Determination of S-genotype in apple and sweet cherry cultivars released at Fruit Research Institute, Cacak

Published: July 2017

Apples and sweet cherries are generally characterized by
self-incompatibility, which is controlled by the multiallelic locus S with
gametophytic action. Thus the identification of S-genotype represents
crucial information for fruit breeders and growers. The aim of this study
was to identify the S-genotype of two apple (?Cacanska Pozna? and ?Cadel?)
and two sweet cherry (?Asenova Rana? and ?Carna?) cultivars developed at
Fruit Research Institute, Cacak using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
method with consensus and allele-specific primers. The S-genotype of apple
cultivars ?Cacanska Pozna? (S7S9) and ?Cadel? (S2S7) were consistent with
parental combinations ?Starking Delicious? (S9S28) ? ?Jonathan? (S7S9) and
?Golden Delicious? (S2S3) ? ?Jonathan? (S7S9), respectively. For sweet
cherry cultivars ?Asenova Rana? [?Drogans Gelbe? (S1S5) ? ?Majova Rana?
(S1S4)] and ?Carna? [?Majova Rana? (S1S4) ? ?Bigarreau de Schrecken?
(S1S3)], S3S9 and S1S4 were identified respectively, suggesting that the
reported pedigree is erroneous. The trueness-to-type of DNA samples of both
sweet cherry cultivars was confirmed by comparison of cultivar samples from
more than one site. Upon this testing, the remaining inconsistency indicated
that aforementioned parentages of the sweet cherry cultivars were incorrect.
These discrepancies could be the result of possible pollen contamination, or
mistakes either in breeders recording or in seed processing and seedling
production. The results of S-genotyping of apple and sweet cherry cultivars
provide relevant information on correct assignment of these cultivars to
cross-compatibility groups, which are important for cross design in
developing new cultivar, as well as for orchard management in the efficient
production of fruits.

The aim of the study is focused on the design of a conservation sheep
breeding programme for the studied autochthonous breeds based on SSR markers
genetic variation analysis applied. Seven local Bulgarian autochthonous sheep
breeds (Breznishka, Sofiiska, Copper-Red Shumenska, Karakachanska, Local
Karnobatska, Blackhead Plevenska and Starozagorska) were differentiated using
six microsatellite (SSR) markers, aiming to assess the genetic variation
within and between breeds. Among the total of 96 identified alleles, eighteen
population specific ones were detected across the all studied genotypes of
338 individuals, except in the Blackhead Plevenska sheep. All examined breeds
indicated high level of genetic diversity, with an average of 0.792. The
genetic differentiation between the examined sheep breeds was not significant
and the values of genetic distances were relatively low. The analysis of
molecular variances (AMOVA) showed low variation between the examined breeds
(5.51%) in comparison to within population variation (94.49%). The greatest
distance (0.643) was found between the populations Local Karnobatska and
Starozagorska, while the smallest one (0.108), between the Copper-Red
Shumenska and Karakachanska. The genetic distances calculated by
Neighbour-Joining method, produced a phylogenetic tree which separates the
investigated sheep breeds into two main clusters: one including Blackhead
Plevenska Breznishka and Local Karnobatska, and the other one consisting of
the four remaining breeds - Copper-Red Shumenska, Karakachanska, Sofiiska and
Starozagorska sheep. The Factorial Correspondence Analysis (FCA) showed
isolation of Local Karnobatska sheep and Starozagorska and an admixture of
the other populations.
