Authors: Sihombing Monang , Puspita Dhanang , Sirenden Mayer Tinting
Published: August 2018

Chocolate is cacao nib processed product which is favorite commodity in the world, nevertheless, many of consumer have not known about the process. Notable stage in cacao processing is roaster process. Cacao roasting process currently uses conventional methods, which have weaknesses like energy wastage and bioactive compounds damage. Vacuum drying oven is new roasting method which uses low pressure and temperature. Through this research, the difference of aroma development between roasting process on conventional and vacuum drying oven method was investigated. Roasted cacao was extracted by water distillation, then distillate was separated by diethyl ether partition. The extract was characterized with GC-MS. The Characterization result shown that temperature 70°C contained 11 volatile compounds and temperature 80°C, 90°C and 140°C contained 7 volatile compounds. The higher roasting temperature, the more diverse of volatile compound. The best result in cacao roasting was on vacuum drying oven at 90°C, which has similar aroma with 140°C as control sample.

Authors: Maślanka Tomasz
Published: August 2018

This paper presents analysis of profitability indicators of Polish construction companies threatened with bankruptcy compared to analogous indicators obtained by Polish construction entities as a whole.

The analysis concerns companies generating positive and negative financial results (both EBIT and net financial results). Moreover, the operating profitability ratio, return on sales, and return on total assets ratios have been verified.

The analyses have been conducted using financial reports of Polish construction companies which went bankrupt in 2013, as well as financial data of construction sector participants as a whole.
Depositional architecture of marginal multiple-source ramp of the Magura Basin (Eocene Flysch formation, Outer Western Carpathians)
Authors: Wójcik Ewa , Zielińska Magdalena , Chybiorz Ryszard , Żaba Jerzy
Published: August 2018

The Zembrzyce Beds were studied to interpret the environments and facies in the western part of the Siary Subunit. New sedimentological data were obtained for the reconstruction of the depositional architecture of the Zembrzyce Beds. Based on detailed facies analysis, 9 facies and 4 facies associations were recognized. The facies associations represent different architectural elements of a submarine fan, such as: termination of distributary channel with transition to depositional lobe (distal part of mid-fan/outer fan sub-deposystem), lobes and distal lobes (outer fan sub-deposystem). According to the classification of Reading & Richards (1994) the fan deposystem can be classified as mud/sand-rich ramp. This system consists of several elongated lobes that formed synchronously, migrated laterally, and then retreated or decayed. The depositional system was supplied from the north and north-east. The inner-fan sub-deposystem was not detected. The sediments were deposited by high- and low-density turbidity currents and hyper-concentrated density flows sensu Mulder & Alexander (2001) with participation of the depositional background processes (pelagic settling). The sedimentary conditions of the Zembrzyce Beds during the Late Eocene were controlled by tectonic movements, the progress of the subduction and the global sea level changes.
Nucleation and amplification of doubly-plunging anticlines: the Butkov pericline case study (Manín Unit, Western Carpathians)
Authors: Plašienka Dušan , Šimonová Viera , Bučová Jana
Published: August 2018

The Manín Unit represents a transitional tectonic element between the Central Western Carpathians and the Pieniny Klippen Belt. The overall map-view structure of the Manín Unit is dominated by elliptical antiforms composed of comparatively competent Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous strata, surrounded by soft Upper Cretaceous shales, marls and sandstones. During layer-parallel shortening, the Manín sedimentary succession behaved as a multilayer reinforced by a variously thick rigid layer of massive Urgonian limestone. The multilayer deformed by flexural slip folding, but the fold wavelength was controlled by the rigid layer undergoing buckling. It is inferred that, besides the lateral thickness differences in the rigid layer, development of brachyfolds and particularly periclines such as the Butkov fold also resulted from the interference of two perpendicular macroscopic fold systems.
Integrated biostratigraphical, sedimentological and provenance analyses with implications for lithostratigraphic ranking: the Miocene Komjatice depression of the Danube Basin
Authors: Šarinová Katarína , Rybár Samuel , Halásová Eva , Hudáčková Natália , Jamrich Michal , Kováčová Marianna , Šujan Michal
Published: August 2018

The Komjatice depression, situated on the Danube Basin’s northern margin, represents a sub-basin of the Neogene epicontinental Central Paratethys Sea and Lake Pannon. The paper provides an insight into the character of sediment provenance evolution by study of well cores (ZM-1, IV-1, MOJ-1, VR-1 wells). A modern combination of provenance, sedimentology and biostratigraphy together with the reported redefinition of Pannonian formations resulted in a new lithostratigraphy of the study area. Moreover, newly published volcanic rock age data were used for calibration of biostratigraphy. The overall age span of the sedimentary fill is occupied only by late Badenian–Sarmatian (Serravallian) to Pannonian (Tortonian–Messinian) strata: 1) the basal alluvial sediments of the newly defined Zlaté Moravce Formation; 2) late Badenian–Sarmatian (Serravalian) marine sediments of the Vráble-Pozba Fm., connected with tectonic opening of the depression; 3) Pannonian (Tortonian) coarse grained sediments of the Nemčiňany Fm. with an erosional base; 4) Pannonian (Tortonian–Messinian) predominantly fine-grained, basin floor to slope Ivanka Fm., sandy deltaic Beladice Fm. and predominantly muddy, alluvial Volkovce Fm. In the middle Miocene provenance is situated in Paleozoic sequences and Neogene volcanic rocks occurring currently in the NE. During the late Miocene, provenance is changed to the NNW (Tribeč Mts.), although the transport from the NE also remained.

Published: August 2018

This paper studies the effect of globalization on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) performance in Nigeria. The study adopts an ex post-facto type of descriptive research design. In carrying out this study, the secondary statistics data was used. Data was extracted from CBN bulletin on relevant information which depicts globalization and its effect on SMEs performance in Nigeria.A co-integration model was used to investigate the effect of globalization on SMEs performance in Nigeria. To capture the activities of globalization, three proxies were used to capture the activities of globalization; they include interest rate, bank credit and trade openness while on the other hand, output of SMEs to GDP was used to capture SMEs performance covering the period of 1992 to 2014. It was observed that interest rate, bank credit and trade openness do not improve the performance of SMEs output. The overall effect as shown by the F-statistics reveals that the variables considered in this study are not significant in explaining the level of improvement in SMEs output and performance in Nigeria.

Authors: Kubálek Jan , Čámská Dagmar , Strouhal Jiří
Published: August 2018

Personal bankruptcies are traditionally discussed from legal, microeconomic or social point of view. This paper focuses on the development of personal bankruptcies in the Czech Republic during the time period 2008-2016 and aims to connect performance of economy and the development of personal bankruptcies. As statistical tools there are used descriptive statistics and regression and correlation analysis. For the economy performance are used the measures of GDP, unemployment rate, household indebtedness and share of debts in default. Based on the results of the analysis there shall be said that lower economic performance influences increasing number of personal bankruptcies. This conclusion has significant consequences for the government and its politics, banks and other financial institutions.

Published: August 2018

The aim of this paper was to examine university students’ propensity for entrepreneurship in the context of the evaluation of the quality of macro-environment and business environment. A part of this aim was a comparison of defined factors in the Czech and the Slovak Republic. In relation with the research aim, a survey-based research was conducted with university students in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. 409 students in the Czech Republic and 568 students in Slovakia were approached during this research. To verify the defined scientific hypotheses, the regression analysis was used. The research results brought interesting findings, namely that the present macroeconomic environment does not prevent students from starting their own business, and that the present level of basic macroeconomic factors (GDP, employment, inflation) determine the students’ propensity for entrepreneurship in both countries. In Slovak Republic, the administrative workload is seen by the students as a factor discouraging them from entrepreneurship after graduating from college. The students feel that the conditions for doing business have improved in the last five years. Students in the Czech Republic think that the conditions for doing business have improved over the past five years, and consider the business environment to be reasonably risky and of good quality.
Influencing the anticorrosion efficiency of pigments based on zinc ferrite by conductive polymers
Authors: Nechvílová K. , Kalendová A.
Published: August 2018

Generally, organic coatings which contain zinc ferrites are able to protect metal substrate, most often low-carbon steel, by inhibition mechanism. Conductive polymers are using a system of conjugated double-bonds to transfer a charge over the chain thereby providing their own electrical conductivity in the organic coatings. The charge from the chain in combination with the iron substrate generates electrons to the formation of passivation products on the surface of paint film. This paper is focused on combination of zinc ferrite with conductive polymer and using of synergic effect of these two components. The organic coatings were formulated from hematite and specularite on pigments concentration line 5, 10, 20 and 25 wt.% for better recognizing of the effectiveness of zinc ferrite component. The content of the conductive polymer was consistently set at 3 wt.% in each organic coating. A solvent-based epoxy-ester resin was used as a binder. The physico-mechanical and corrosion tests were performed for all samples. The corrosion signs were evaluated on the surface of coating and also on the surface of metal substrate. In the end, the efficiency was compared alone zinc ferrite and alone polymers and also their combinations.
Habitat characteristics of the Japanese water shrew, Chimarrogale platycephalus
Authors: Iwasa Masahiro A.
Published: August 2018

To determine the habitat characteristics of the Japanese water shrew, Chimarrogale platycephalus, seven stream parameters were studied along five streams. The shrew occurred along three of those streams. To evaluate the stream parameters related to water shrew occurrence as an objective variable, a generalized linear model analysis of the five streams was performed. The results indicated that current velocity was the most important parameter in shrew occurrence at p<0.001. The present findings are similar to those for the European water shrew, Neomys fodiens. The number of invertebrates as availability of food resources, however, was not a significant parameter influencing shrew occurrence. Along the banks of the two streams inhabited by C. platycephalus, there are artificially managed leisure fishing sites, and small fish farms have released fish regularly into the streams to stock up fishing resources. Such management of leisure fishing may provide the water shrews with fish as an additional food resource and possibly contribute to the occurrence of C. platycephalus.
Structure mediation and ductility enhancement of poly(l-lactide) by random copolymer poly(d-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone)
Authors: Zhang Xiuqin , Yin Yongai , Song Yan , Li Xiaolu , Dong Zhenfeng , Wang Rui , Wang De-Yi
Published: August 2018

Two types of random copolymer poly(d-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PDLA-r-PCL) were added into poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) matrix by melt blending. The structure and property of PLLA/PDLA-r-PCL blends were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and mechanical measurement. The results suggested that PDLA-r-PCL had little effect on the thermal property of PLLA. PDLA-r-PCL uniformly dispersed in PLLA matrix, which contributed to the improvement of stretching properties. During stretching at 25°C, with the increased content of PDLA-r-PCL, the elongation at break of PLLA increased and the strength decreased. The degree of decrease in fracture strength was related to the molecular structure of PDLA-r-PCL. When a small amount of stereocomplex crystals (SC) were formed in PLLA/PDLA-r-PCL blends, the strength was maintained or slightly enhanced even though the elongation at break of the blends was significantly improved by soft chains of PCL. It might be caused by the synergistic effects of SC crystals and plasticization of PCL chains.
Enumeration of small Wilf classes avoiding 1342 and two other 4-letter patterns
Authors: Callan David , Mansour Toufik
Published: August 2018

This paper is one of a series whose goal is to enumerate the avoiders, in the sense of classical pattern avoidance, for each triple of 4-letter patterns. There are 317 symmetry classes of triples of 4-letter patterns, avoiders of 267 of which have already been enumerated. Here we enumerate avoiders for all small Wilf classes that have a representative triple containing the pattern 1342, giving 40 new enumerations and leaving only 13 classes still to be enumerated. In all but one case, we obtain an explicit algebraic generating function that is rational or of degree 2. The remaining one is shown to be algebraic of degree 3. We use standard methods, usually involving detailed consideration of the left to right maxima, and sometimes the initial letters, to obtain an algebraic or functional equation for the generating function.

Teilhabe für arbeitsmarktferne Arbeitslose durch einen Sozialen Arbeitsmarkt – Chancen und Risiken eines notwendigen Instruments
Authors: Kupka Peter , Möller Joachim , Lobato Philipp Ramos , Wolff Joachim
Published: August 2018

We discuss a new scheme of subsidized jobs for unemployed people with extremely low job finding prospects. This scheme, referred to as Social Labour Market, primarily intends to promote their social inclusion. Research on public employment schemes has shown that it is of utmost importance to define very narrow criteria for participation in order to avoid lock-in-effects. Due to health issues and other severe employment impediments of the participants, the design of a social labour market should allow for flexible work arrangements and include some kind of mentoring (“job coaches”). We conclude that the scheme planned by the German government basically meets many criteria recommended by labour market researchers but still bears some risk of “creaming”. We recommend to start with a small number of participants. This should help to test the process of assigning participants and assess the effectiveness of different designs of the scheme before boosting the number of participants to the ultimate size.
Die Geschichte Tirols im Spiegel der landesfürstlichen Residenz Schloss Tirol. Die Residenzen der Tiroler Landesfürst_innen bis um 1500
Authors: Blasinger Katharina
Published: August 2018

Tyrol Castle can be referred to as a ‘Dynastenburg’, as it was the ancestral seat of power for the Counts of Tyrol. Under the rule of Meinhard II (1259–1295) the castle developed to the centre of his power and came to be the place of residence for the princely family and their court. In the year 1420 the ancestral seat was relocated to Innsbruck and thus Tyrol Castle lost its representative power and function as a residence, falling into decay as a consequence. The combination of power and representation as well as its impact on buildings structures is crucial for this analysis.
Reassessing the Vocational Origins of Hampton University and Celebrating a Singular History of Arts Engagement
Authors: Welch John S.
Published: August 2018

This essay explores historical interpretation or categorizations of Hampton Institute as a vocational project in order to reassert liberal arts as an underlying philosophical tenet of the founding and early history of this now venerated historically Black university. Today, Hampton’s educational mission and its museum are understood to be within the liberal arts tradition. This essay argues Hampton’s nineteenth-century founding ethos also situates the university and museum within the spirit of liberal arts education, even where vocational or manual labor components of its early curriculum may have been defining in early twentieth century historical interpretations of the institution’s mission and purpose. Contributions of the Hampton University Museum throughout its history give readers insight into the Hampton tradition of educating hand, heart, and mind and speak to the university’s 150-year engagement with liberal arts.

Interpretation of the former plantation is focused on the African American struggle to achieve freedom, justice, and equality from 1851 through 1990. The cultural history interpretation coordinator and co-author of the National Association for Interpretation award winning exhibits at the site explores the development, implementation, and adjustments made to interpretation since the opening and comments on the current state of Black museums in America.
Mehmed Zihni Efendi Örneğinde Sahîh-i Buhârî Baskılarının Tashihi

Published: August 2018

Öz: İslâm dünyasında ilk olarak Hindistan’da basılan (1270/1853) Buhârî’nin (ö. 256/870)el-Câmi‘u’s-sahîh adlı eserinin en bilinen ve kabul gören neşri Sultan Abdülhamid’in (ö.1918) talimatıyla Ezherli âlimler tarafından Mısır’da gerçekleştirilmiştir (1313/1896). Hemensonrasında Mehmed Zihni Efendi (ö. 1913) de Sahîh’in İstanbul’daki ilk neşrini yapmıştır.Bu neşirlerde Sahîh-i Buhârî yazmaları içerisinde meşhur olan Yûnînî nüshası kullanılmıştır.Bilindiği gibi Ali b. Muhammed el-Yûnînî (ö. 701/1302) kendi nüshasını anametin olarak aktarırken elindeki diğer dört nüshanın farklarını metin üzerinde ve kenarlarda(hamiş) göstermiştir. Yûnînî’nin çok titiz bir şekilde tüm farklarını yansıttığı bu dörtnüsha Asîlî (ö. 392/1002), Ebû Zer (ö. 434/1043), İbn Asâkir (ö. 571/1176) ve Sem‘ânî’ye(ö. 562/1167) aittir. İki neşirde de Yûnînî nüshası kullanılmasına rağmen aralarında bazıfarklar vardır. Ezherli âlimler Yûnînî nüshasını ana metin ve kenardaki yoğun notlar şeklindebasarken, Mehmed Zihni Efendi ise günümüze daha yakın bir anlayışla sadece anametni yansıtmıştır. Fakat ana metin açısından da aralarında farklar vardır. Çünkü Ezherliâlimler ana metni çok az bir tashihle aynen naklederken Zihni Efendi, Kastallânî’nin (ö.923/1517) şerhindeki metni esas aldığından daha fazla tashih yapmıştır. Kastallânî şerhide Yûnînî nüshasına göre yazıldığı halde ana metnin kimi yerlerde farklı olmasının sebebi,onun Sahîh-i Buhârî metnini belirtirken yapmış olduğu tercihlerdir. Çünkü o kimi zamanfarklı nüshalardaki ifadeleri ana metin olarak öne çıkarmıştır. Genelde İbn Hacer’in (ö.852/1449) etkisiyle oluşan bu tercihler, Zihni Efendi’nin neşrinde ve İslâm dünyasında basılanilk Buhârî şerhlerine eklenen Sahîh metninin kısmen farklı olmasındaki en önemlietkendir. Günümüz Sahîh-i Buhârî baskılarında ve Buhârî şerhlerinde ise Ezherli âlimlerinneşrindeki ana metin kullanılmaktadır.

This paper analyzes the economic activities of the Conventual Franciscans in the early modern urban society of Vilnius from the second part of the 17th until the end of the 18th centuries. We ask the key question whether the Franciscans had embraced the “profit economy” in a similar way that Lester K. Little famously portrayed them do in the Latin Christendom at the end of the medieval ages. This paper will look at the economic model of the Franciscan order based on their income and expenses books, and it will delve into their key economic activities: financial services and property management.

The Impact of ASEAN-Korea Free Trade Agreements on Indonesian Export of Manufacturing Goods
Authors: Mareta Bernadheta Mia Tri
Published: August 2018

Along with an attempt to promote the export performance of manufacturing goods, the number of investigation about the potential benefit or harm of free trade agreements is still weak in Indonesia. This paper highlights the effect of ASEAN-Korea Free Trade Agreement (AKFTA) on Indonesian export of manufacturing products since AKFTA as one of the significant initiatives in Southeast Asia is expected to boost Indonesian export. By using augmented gravity models with panel data, this paper investigates the presence of trade creation and trade diversion effects on Indonesian export with 20 trading partners, covering a 26-year period from 1990-2015. Fixed effects with least square dummy variable (LSDV) models are applied to tackle the endogeneity problems of FTA by controlling the unobserved heterogeneity. The results showed that trade diversion outweighs trade creation effects in almost all categories, confirming a decrease in export from member to non-member countries.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v17i2.7342

Authors: Dodd Jodie M. , Louise Jennie , Deussen Andrea R. , McPhee Andrew J. , Owens Julie A. , Robinson Jeffrey S.
Published: August 2018

OBJECTIVE:

Our objective was to evaluate the effect of an antenatal dietary and lifestyle intervention in pregnant women who are overweight or obese on child outcomes at age 18 months.

METHODS:

We conducted a follow-up study of children at 18 months of age who were born to women who participated in the Limiting Weight Gain in Overweight and Obese Women during Pregnancy to Improve Health Outcomes randomized trial. The primary follow-up study outcome was prevalence of child BMI z scores >85th percentile. Secondary study outcomes included a range of anthropometric measures, neurodevelopment, general health, and child feeding. Intention to treat principles were used in analyses, according to the treatment group allocated at randomization.

RESULTS:

A total of 1602 children were assessed at age 18 months (lifestyle advice, n = 816; standard care, n = 786), representing 75.0% of the eligible sample (n = 2136). There were no statistically significant differences in the prevalence of child BMI z scores >85th percentile for children born to women in the lifestyle advice group, compared with the standard care group (lifestyle advice, 505 [47.11%] versus standard care, 483 [45.36%]; adjusted relative risk: 1.04; 95% confidence interval: 0.94 to 1.16; P = .45). There was no evidence of effects on child growth, adiposity, neurodevelopment, or dietary and physical activity patterns.

CONCLUSIONS:

There is no evidence that providing pregnant women who were overweight or obese with an antenatal dietary and lifestyle intervention altered 18-month child growth and adiposity.

RESUMO Objetivo: refletir o processo de busca de famílias para pesquisa na área rural. Método: reflexão sobre o processo de busca realizado em duas pesquisas (A e B) a partir de quatro fatores: o tema, os critérios de seleção, o papel do mediador e a posição do pesquisador em relação ao gênero, idade, profissão e filiação. Resultados: a análise destes quatro fatores no processo de busca dos participantes mostra que o auxilio dos mediadores foi fundamental para selecionar e acessar as famílias em seus domicílios. Houve dificuldade em ouvir diferentes membros das famílias. Na pesquisa A, houve maior participação dos homens adultos, e na pesquisa B, das mulheres adultas, o que coincidiu com o gênero dos entrevistadores e mediadores de cada pesquisa. Reflete-se que há necessidade da reflexividade dos pesquisadores sobre suas posições, escolha do tema, critérios de seleção dos participantes, papel do mediador para avaliar as razões das dificuldades no recrutamento dos participantes e impactos nos resultados das pesquisas em área rural. Conclusão: o processo de recrutamento dos participantes deve ser melhor considerado pelos pesquisadores para a maior qualidade das pesquisas qualitativas.

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess patient safety culture in a university hospital. Method: cross-sectional study with data collection through the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture applied in electronic device. A total of 381 employees were interviewed, corresponding to 46% of the sum of eligible professionals. Data were analyzed descriptively. the Cronbach’s alpha was used to calculate the frequency and reliability. Results: most were women (73%) from the nursing area (50%) and with direct contact with patients (82%). The composites related to “teamwork within units” (58%, α=0.68), “organizational learning - continuous improvement” (58%, α=0.63), “supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting patient safety” (56%, α=0.73) had higher positive responses. Nine composites had low positive responses, with emphasis on “nonpunitive response to error” (18%, α=0.40). Only the item “in this unit, people treat each other with respect” had positive response above 70%. The patient safety assessment in the work unit was positive for 36% of employees, however only 22% reported events in past year. Conclusion: the findings revealed weaknesses in the safety culture at the hospital, with emphasis on culpability.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to compare the attitudes regarding interprofessional collaboration of health professionals that make up the Family Health Strategy teams participating in the ‘More Doctors’ (Mais Médicos) program; and to identify factors associated with attitudes of interprofessional collaboration. Method: a descriptive, transversal and comparative study developed with 63 health professionals who responded to the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes Toward Interprofessional Collaboration. The data were statistically analyzed. Results: the sum of the scale items ranged from 88 to 139 points. The analysis of all the Family Health teams indicated statistically significant differences between the scores of the scale and the professional category and between the scores and the education level, suggesting that nurses and professionals with higher education are more inclined towards collaborative practice. The analysis according to the profile of the doctor - Brazilian, Cuban or foreign exchange doctor - found no statistical differences regarding the physicians’ scores, nor in the scores of the components of teams with different profiles. Conclusion: the profile did not suggest a statistically significant greater or lesser inclination of the doctors or teams toward interprofessional work. This study can support new studies which will contribute to the analysis of inter-professional collaboration and the impact of the Mais Médicos program.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the reliability, validity and operational equivalence of the nutritional screening method "Assessing The Nutritional Condition Of The Elderly". Method: This study was conducted with a subsample of 174 elderly persons from the Health, Welfare and Aging (SABE) study. The “Assessing The Nutritional Condition Of The Elderly” method consists of ten questions which classify individuals according to nutritional risk. Anthropometric and nutritional indicators were adopted as gold standard measures for comparison with the values of the method. Reliability was verified using the McNemar and Bland Altman tests, the validity of the discriminant type was assessed by the Mann-Whitney test and operational equivalence was identified through data relating to the time required to apply the method and the degree of understanding of the same using the Likert scale (1 to 5). Results: Of the 174 elderly persons interviewed, 63.8% were women and 52.3% were in the 60-74 years age group. It was found that 43.1% and 33.3% of the subjects had moderate to high nutritional risk, respectively, with a higher prevalence of high nutritional risk among women (33.3%) and those aged 60-74 years (43.4%). The method analyzed showed satisfactory results for reliability and discriminant validity. The average time required to apply this method was approximately seven minutes and the overall mean grade of understanding was 4.8. Conclusion: The method studied can be used by health professionals in epidemiological and clinical studies to identify the presence of nutritional risk in elderly persons living at home.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil nutricional da população atendida em centro de referência em fibrose cística. Métodos: Estudo transversal incluindo pacientes com fibrose cística de um centro pediátrico de referência de São Paulo, em 2014. Todos os sujeitos que concordaram em participar do estudo foram incluídos. Foi aplicado um questionário sobre hábitos alimentares (recordatório de 24 horas) e características socioeconômicas. Dados antropométricos (comparados com referencial da Organização Mundial da Saúde de 2006 e 2007) e função pulmonar foram coletados do prontuário. Os integrantes da pesquisa foram estratificados em faixas etárias para análise estatística. Resultados: Dos 101 pacientes incluídos no estudo, 59,4% eram masculinos, sendo a maioria caucasiana (86,4%), com mediana de idade de 10 anos. A maioria dos pacientes (n=77, 75%) foi classificada como eutrófica, mas valores menores de escore Z de índice de massa corpórea (IMC) foram observados em escolares e adolescentes. A proporção de pacientes com peso abaixo do esperado foi de 10% (n=2) na faixa etária pré-escolar e de 35% (n=6) em escolares. O consumo alimentar mostrou-se adequado, e somente dois suplementos (triglicérides de cadeia média e suplemento em pó completo) tiveram utilização ligada à adequação da ingesta de macronutrientes. Características socioeconômicas não apresentaram associação com o estado nutricional ou com o consumo nutricional. Valores de função pulmonar não apontaram diferença significante em adolescentes nem em indivíduos com pior estado nutricional no grupo estudado. Conclusões: A maioria dos pacientes apresentou estado nutricional e consumo alimentar adequados, indicando bom manejo das ações nutricionais. Novos estudos com foco em pré-escolares devem ser realizados para avaliar se é possível reduzir o risco nutricional de pacientes com fibrose cística em idades posteriores.

Published: August 2018

RESUMO Objetivo: Revisar, na literatura, estudos que abordem alterações nos sistemas sensoriais apresentadas por respiradores orais. Fonte de dados: A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, BIREME, LILACS, Web of Science e Scopus. A busca foi realizada independentemente por dois pesquisadores, seguindo os critérios de seleção. Foram selecionados artigos originais que abordaram a respiração oral e as alterações nos sistemas sensoriais publicados nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. Os artigos de revisão da literatura, as dissertações, os capítulos de livros, os estudos de caso e os editoriais foram excluídos. Síntese dos dados: Foram encontrados 719 artigos, dos quais 663 foram excluídos pelo título e 22 pelo resumo. Trinta e quatro manuscritos foram analisados, dos quais 23 estavam repetidos e 8 foram excluídos pelo texto lido na íntegra. Assim, três artigos foram selecionados para esta revisão. Conclusões: A maioria dos estudos apresenta a ocorrência de alterações dos sistemas sensoriais em crianças respiradoras orais. Contudo, observa-se maior preocupação na avaliação da recepção sensorial. Além disso, a avaliação dos sistemas sensoriais foi realizada de forma não padronizada, o que pode ter acarretado resultados menos precisos na população estudada.
Smart window with an embedded control system for thermal comfort in buildings in Mexico

Published: August 2018

Globally, buildings are responsible for 40% of the annual energy consumption, most of them using air-conditioning systems that emit gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect. The purpose of this research was to design a proportional, integrating and differentiating (PID) control system for a fluid flowing in a double-skin facade (DSF) in Mexico to generate comfortable temperatures inside a building through heat transfer by circulating the fluid at the desired temperature through the cavity between the panes. Research has shown that the structure of the installed DSF with materials and measurements recommended by the manufacturer was not able to withstand a high-temperature fluid since heat shock occurs in the windows, so a redesign of the structure was made with stronger material and certain considerations. A DSF with a fluid at room temperature served as thermal insulation. The PID control algorithm programmed in the embedded system allowed it to keep the water at the desired temperature and to determine whether it was necessary to circulate fluid at high or low temperatures, consuming about 2000 Wh in the cold season and 3860 Wh in the hot season, which represents savings of 71% energy for the building, resulting in a lower power consumption and a low-emission system.
