Hidrolisat protein ikan (HPI) dihasilkan dari proses penguraian protein ikan menjadi peptida sederhana maupun asam amino melalui proses hidrolisis oleh enzim, asam, atau basa. Enzim yang digunakan adalah enzim protease, baik yang berasal dari tanaman, hewan maupun mikroba. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh penambahan enzim papain terhadap karakteristik HPI dan menentukan optimum terbaik hidrolisat protein dari jenis ikan yang berbeda dengan penambahan enzim papain. Metode penelitian ini adalah experimental laboratories dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Perlakuan yang diterapkan adalah perbedaan jenis ikan yang meliputi ikan nila, ikan bandeng, dan ikan cucut. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan sidik ragam ANOVA dengan uji lanjut untuk menentukan nilai yang berpengaruh maupun tidak dengan uji BNJ (Beda Nyata Jujur). Hasil penelitian dari ketiga perlakuan didapatkan HPI terbaik yaitu rendemen  HPI nila 5,64% dengan kadar protein 30,17%, kadar air 9,06%, dan viskositas 1,91 cP sedangkan profil asam amino terbanyak adalah asam glutamat terutama pada HPI ikan cucut sebesar 4,183%. Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) is produced from the decomposition of fish protein become peptides and amino acids through hydrolysis by enzymes, acids or bases.

Published: February 2018

Mediante la comprobación econométrica de los determinantes de los flujos externos de capital hacia Costa Rica entre los años 1980-2016, se demuestra que los ahorros brutos nacionales y la apertura comercial son elementos influyentes en la atracción de inversión extranjera hacia el país. Por tanto, se logra analizar el impacto que estas variables junto con otras de relevancia, tales como la tasa de crecimiento poblacional, la inflación, la actividad del sector financiero costarricense a través de su Bolsa de Valores, puedan tener en el ingreso per cápita mediante la atracción de los capitales externos. Se construye un modelo econométricamente robusto, se plantean otros diversos que se complementan y que mantienen de manera consistente las conclusiones; estas últimas respaldan las recomendaciones de dirigir las políticas públicas hacia un mayor incentivo al ahorro nacional y hacia una mayor apertura comercial.

The objective of this paper is to survey the literature on the information content of analyst report from three essential dimensions, namely, target price, earnings forecast and trading volume. The method employed is following the qualitative approach by reviewing and examining the past literature from the view of theoretical and empirical researchers. The initial result from existing literature, reveals that the research in analyst report mainly focused on empirical research rather than theoretical perspective. Secondly, there no clear consensus on the consistency of results regarding how well the information contents involving target price, earnings forecast and trading volume influencing the stock return. Thus, the views whether analyst report transmitting information to the investors still remain unambiguous when making an investment decision. This study is expected to enrich the existing literature in the area of analyst report and propose several areas for future researchers related to this topic.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v17i1.6669

Authors: Boulila Hadjer , Benbouziane Mohamed
Published: February 2018

Our study is aimed to investigate the effect of austerity measures on the economic growth. Besides that, this research wants to examine whether austerity is the solution of the current oil crisis in Algeria or not. To achieve this aim we have used a Non-Linear Autoregressive Lag Distributed model (NARDL) to illustrate the negative and positive changes in austerity measures and their effects on gross domestic product. The findings of our estimation provides that neither increasing taxes cuts nor reducing expenditures is a solution for the crisis, that what confirms empirically what Keynesian economists approve. Therefore, Algeria’s authorities must quickly find other solution rather than austerity policies.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v17i1.6799
Firearm Storage in Homes With Children With Self-Harm Risk Factors
Authors: Scott John , Azrael Deborah , Miller Matthew
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVES:

To describe firearm storage practices in homes with children who have versus do not have self-harm risk factors.

METHODS:

A cross-sectional analysis of a nationally representative probability-based online survey of US adults conducted in 2015 (n = 3949; response rate 55%). Respondents self-reported whether they lived with children and were a caretaker/health care decision-maker for a child. Household firearm ownership was ascertained for all respondents; how firearms were stored in homes with guns was asked of gun owning respondents only; all respondents were asked whether their child had a history of the following self-harm risk factors: depression, mental health conditions other than depression, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

RESULTS:

Household firearms were present in 43.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 34.4–64.7) of homes with children who had a history of self-harm risk factors (n = 52), compared with 42.3% (95% CI: 35.2–49.7) of homes in which no child had self-harm risk factors (n = 411). Among parents or caretakers with firearms, 34.9% (95 % CI: 20.2–53.2) stored all guns locked and unloaded when they had a child with a history self-harm risk factors, compared with 31.8% (95% CI: 25.9–38.3) when none of their children had such a history.

CONCLUSIONS:

Millions of US children live in homes in which firearms are left loaded or unlocked or both. A child’s history of depression, mental health conditions other than depression, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder does not appear to appreciably influence caretaker decisions about whether to (1) have firearms in the home, or (2) store all household firearms in accordance with American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations (ie, locked and unloaded).
Publicaciones duplicadas en la Revista
Authors: Escobar-Córdoba Franklin
Published: February 2018

El fraude científico debe ser condenado por diversas razones (1). Cuando un autor o autores deciden enviar un mismo artículo a varias revistas científicas se inicia una labor editorial que consume todo tipo de recursos, pues las revistas deben evaluar dicho manuscrito hasta lograr su publicación final. Este desgaste es costoso desde el punto de vista de horas de trabajo de editores, miembros de los comités científicos, pares evaluadores, asistentes editoriales, correctores de estilo, traductores, diseñadores gráficos y otros profesionales que participan en esta labor meritoria; además, perjudica a las revistas científicas por el enorme consumo de recursos económicos que conlleva.En la actualidad, es necesario que las publicaciones científicas cuenten por lo menos con un programa que permita identificar similitudes en altos porcentajes entre artículos. Aunque no existe unanimidad en las diferentes publicaciones biomédicas sobre cuál debe ser el punto de corte de similitud, la Revista de la Facultad de Medicina estableció el 30% como el parámetro a tener en cuenta. Solo en el caso de artículos derivados de tesis doctorales o de maestría y de trabajos finales de grado se acepta una semejanza mayor, esto siempre y cuando los autores mencionen en el artículo que es producto derivado de dichos trabajos.
DEVELOPING AN INDEX FOR FOREST PRODUCTIVITY MAPPING - A CASE STUDY FOR MARITIME PINE PRODUCTION REGULATION IN PORTUGAL
Authors: Mestre Susana , Alegria Cristina , Albuquerque Maria Teresa Durães , Goovaerts Pierre
Published: February 2018

ABSTRACT Productivity is very dependent on the environmental and biotic factors present at the site where the forest species of interest is present. Forest site productivity is usually assessed using empirical models applied to inventory data providing discrete predictions. While the use of GIS-based models enables building a site productivity distribution map. Therefore, the aim of this study was to derive a productivity index using multivariate statistics and coupled GIS-geostatistics to obtain a forest productivity map. To that end, a study area vastly covered by naturally regenerated forests of maritime pine in central Portugal was used. First, a productivity index (PI) was built based on Factorial Correspondence Analysis (FCA) by incorporating a classical site index for the species and region (Sh25 - height index model) and GIS-derived environmental variables (slope and aspect). After, the PI map was obtained by multi-Gaussian kriging and used as a GIS layer to evaluate maritime pine areas by productivity class (e.g., low, intermediate and high). In the end, the area control method was applied to assess the size and the number of compartments to establish by productivity class. The management compartments of equal productivity were digitized as GIS layer and organized in a temporal progression of stands’ age regularly available for cutting each year during a 50-year schedule. The methodological approach developed in this study proved that can be used to build forest productivity maps which are crucial tools to support forest production regulation.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to understand the dynamics of an Upper Montane Mixed Ombrophilous Forest in the municipality of Painel, Santa Catarina, Brazil, where low-level but chronic disturbances, such as extensive cattle grazing and exploitation of non-timber products, are common practices. In 2008, permanent plots were allocated and all tree species with circumference at breast height (CBH) equal to or greater than 15.7 cm were measured. A second survey was conducted in 2014 by the same methodology. Mortality, recruitment, and basal area gain and loss rates were then determined. The tree species were classified into regeneration guilds and proportion tests were conducted to verify the associations between dynamics patterns and guilds. The community has shown a 2.3%.year-1 average mortality rate, a 2.2%.year-1 average recruitment rate, a 3.0%.year-1 average basal area gain rate and a 1.8%.year-1 average basal area loss rate. Species number has decreased from 55 to 48. Regeneration guilds have shown different dynamics patterns, where the pioneers have shown the greatest mortality (19.9%) and recruitment (15.6%) proportion and reduced representativeness in shade-tolerant climax species. Therefore, floristic impoverishment and higher representativeness reduction of late species have been observed. We have concluded that despite disturbances do not result in structural deterioration, they have the potential to slow the succession process and cause a floristic homogenization in the area under study.

ABSTRACT The total phenol concentration present in Vochysia divergens Pohl. (Vochysiaceae) leaves in the Pantanal was analyzed. Work was carried out between September/2012 and June/2013 which is made up by the dry season (September/2012), the beginning of the rising water (December/2012), the high water (March/2013) followed by the receding water period (June/2013). For the purpose of the research fifteen trees were selected, five from each sample area. The phenolic content in the leaves was obtained from the samples which were dried, steeped with ethanol: water and centrifuged. The extract was used to determine the concentration of total phenols using the Folin-Ciocalteu spectrometric method. There was no difference among the sampling areas; however the values were different in relation to seasonal periods. The lowest concentration was recorded in the dry season (young leaves) increasing gradually at the beginning of the rising water, with higher levels at the end of high water and receding water season. The highest concentration of phenols occurred during the receding water period (end of the life cycle of V. divergens leaves), followed by high and rising water periods. The increase in phenol concentration is associated with the Pantanal flood cycle, and related to the phenology of the V. divergens leaves.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted in an ecotonal area between the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (MOF) and the Deciduous Seasonal Forest (DSF) in Santa Catarina, Brazil, to identify the impact of the water reservoir of the Garibaldi hydroelectric power plant on the mortality and floristic-structural composition of the tree component in a riparian forest adjacent to it. One year after the reservoir water filling, 48 200 m2 plots were systematically allocated in three sectors: adjacent to the water reservoir, intermediate slope and upper slope. The tree species individuals with circumference at breast height (CBH) > 15.7 cm were identified and measured (CBH); dead individuals were quantified. The geographic coordinates of each plot were obtained. Species diversity was analyzed by Shannon and Pielou indexes and the floristic-structural organization was evaluated through phytosociological estimates, Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) and Mantel test. Variations on mortality and floristic-structural organization regarding environmental sectors were tested with Generalized Linear Models (GLMs). 70 species have been found in the community with Shannon and Pielou values of 3.10 and 0.73, respectively. Dead individuals have shown the second highest importance value (9.59%) with the highest mortality in the lower sector (p < 0.05), which may be associated with its proximity to the water surface. The community organization has shown spatial structure; however, the NMDS and GLMs have shown no floristic-structural differentiation among sectors, probably on account of the short period of exposure to reservoir filling impacts.
ASSIMETRIAS DE INFORMAÇÃO, QUALIDADE E MERCADOS DA CERTIFICAÇÃO: A NECESSIDADE DE UMA INTERVENÇÃO INSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Herscovici Alain
Published: February 2018

RESUMO Neste trabalho, proponho- me a analisar as falhas dos sistemas de certificação privados a partir do conceito de assimetria da informação, da maneira como este foi desenvolvido por Akerlof, Grossman e Stiglitz. Esta análise pode ser aplicada a várias atividades sociais: meio ambiente, produção alimentar, sistema bancário, riscos financeiros e, de uma maneira mais geral, qualidade dos bens e dos serviços. A partir de uma concepção ampliada da qualidade, ressaltarei os mecanismos que permitem reduzir, de maneira substancial, esta incerteza; mostrarei igualmente porque um sistema de certificação privada não fornece as condições necessárias à implementação de um sistema fiável. Finalmente, indicarei as modalidades de governança alternativa que deveriam permitir alcançar este objetivo.

Para a busca nos limites da temática, foram utilizados os termos e expressões: “informação”, “segurança nacional”, “liberdade de manifestação” e “liberdade de imprensa”. Os resultados indicam que houve uma baixa participação do Poder Legislativo nas discussões sobre o tema e que coube ao Poder Executivo legislar com fins de restringir o acesso à informação.
Vigilância e cultura algorítmica no novo regime global de mediação da informação
Authors: Bezerra Arthur Coelho
Published: February 2018

RESUMO Propõe-se o termo “novo regime global de mediação da informação” para abordar as mudanças nas práticas de mediação da informação que ocorrem nas redes digitais. Para tanto, vale-se do contraste entre as formas de mediação da informação estabelecidas no século XX (e vigentes até o início do século XXI) e as novas formas de produção, circulação, mediação e acesso a informação. O principal ponto a ser destacado é a mudança de um perfil de mediação centrado na figura de editores e produtores para uma mediação a princípio lida como “tecnológica” - posto que encarnada por fórmulas matemáticas de algoritmos - mas que é concebida por engenheiros de grandes empresas como Google e Facebook, alimentada pelas informações dos próprios usuários das plataformas e utilizada tanto por empresas para finalidades econômicas quanto por governos em suas agendas políticas. Conclui-se que as mudanças na estrutura sociotécnica do “regime de informação” vigente (conforme autores como Bernd Frohmann e González de Gómez), embora permitam avanços nas mais diversas áreas (educação, saúde, segurança pública, consumo, mobilidade urbana e outros), podem trazer efeitos deletérios para a cultura e para a criatividade humana, principalmente no que se refere à privacidade e ao acesso a um conjunto diversificado de artefatos culturais, científicos e informativos.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze whether deleterious oral habits can influence the number of attempts of forced spirometry maneuvers performed by healthy children. Methods: this observational and cross-sectional analytical study included 149 healthy children aged 6-12 years attending public and private schools in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil. A validated protocol was applied for the analysis of deleterious oral habits. The children were grouped according to the number of spirometry maneuvers needed to achieve successful spirometry results, as follows: G1) children who needed 3 maneuvers; G2) 4 maneuvers; G3) 5-8 maneuvers. Data were analyzed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to compare quantitative variables between the groups. The Chi-square test was used to assess the association between the groups and qualitative variables. Results: there was no association between the number of attempts and the qualitative variables evaluated by the protocol. There was also no difference between the groups regarding quantitative variables for breastfeeding time, breastfeeding occurrence, use of pacifiers, and thumb sucking. Conclusion: the presence of DOH did not influence the number of forced spirometry maneuvers, performed by the healthy children in this study.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify aspects that generate satisfaction and dissatisfaction among Family Health Strategy professionals working in the city of Cocal do Sul, SC. Methods: a qualitative study, conducted with 15 health professionals of three Family Health Strategy agencies. Data analysis was performed based on content analysis, supported by Atlas.ti software. Results: the results were structured from two macro categories, composed of five subcategories, which added 194 excerpts from 23 codes. The aspects related to satisfaction of the Family Health Strategy professionals were grouped into three subcategories, namely: satisfaction in the identification with the staff and work; satisfaction based on relationships with patients; and, structural work conditions and satisfaction. Within health professional dissatisfaction, two subcategories were created: dissatisfaction related to aspects of health management and the relationship between staff and patients, as promoters of dissatisfaction. Conclusion: the factors contributing to satisfaction and dissatisfaction are associated with working conditions and the work relationships established in professional practice.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the self-perception of transgender women’s voice handicap in comparison to the voices’ gender perception by naïve listeners. Methods: 31 transgender women, who were first submitted to vocal acoustic assessment and had their voices recorded to measure fundamental frequency and standard deviations, were eligible to the study. Next, they answered to the Voice Handicap Index protocol, from which, at the end of data collection, the most suited questions to the daily demands of this population were selected. Subsequently, 50 naïve blindfolded listeners were exposed to the recordings and had to identify the voices as males, females or undefined. Descriptive statistics were applied to speakers’ characteristics and the Spearman's correlation coefficient was applied to the protocol scores and the speaker's voice identifications. Results: the mean fundamental frequency found was 172.40 Hz (SD=4.8Hz) and one third of the transgender women reported being satisfied with their voices. A moderate positive significant correlation was found in voices considered as males, and strongly significant and negative in voices considered as females. For the voices considered undefined, however, no significant correlation was found. Conclusion: transgender women’s self-perception of voice handicap is directly related to naïve listeners' perception of their voice gender.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the influence of behavioral states on the readiness of the premature infant to initiate breastfeeding. Methods: the study was transversal, observational and descriptive with 51 premature infants, attended at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), from a Baby-Friendly Hospital. The infants were evaluated using the "Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale". The evaluation occurred close to the feeding time and was performed in preterm infants in two behavioral states, in deep sleep and alertness. Thus, preterm infants were self-controlled. For the data analysis, the T-Test and the McNemar Test were applied, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: there was a statistically significant difference in the behavior of premature infants in alert behavior and deep sleep. In the alert state, preterm infants showed greater readiness for oral feeding in the breast. The results highlight the importance of the behavioral state of prematurity for professionals working in NICUs. Conclusion: the behavioral state influences the beginning of premature infant feeding. The alertness behavioral status of premature infants is essential during neonatal speech therapy assistence.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to know the profile of members of the Brazilian Association of Orofacial Motricity and their knowledge and interest on laser therapy in Orofacial Motricity. Methods: an online form was elaborated covering questions about the speech therapist’s profile, training, and acting, as well as his/her knowledge about the theories of laser therapy and its clinical application. The form was sent via e-mail to members of the Brazilian Association of Orofacial Motricity - ABRAMO, registered in the year 2015. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and the Spearman’s correlation test. Results: only 5 (19.2%) out of the 26 participants reported having contact with laser equipment, and of these, only 1 (3.8%) used it in his/her practice. Regarding knowledge of the method, only 2 (7.7%) were trained, and the majority, 14 speech therapists (53.8%), had an interest in acquiring knowledge on this subject. Speech therapists with a longer training period were unaware of laser therapy (p = 0.03) and did not agree on the use (p = 0.01), but claimed to be interested in the subject (p = 0.05). Conclusion: it was possible to verify that the interest in improvement and insertion in the clinical practice in laser therapy are realities for the research volunteers, but a very small number has the knowledge and makes use of the technique in their interventions.

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the electrical activity of masseter muscles, bilaterally, according to the presence or absence of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) in college students with a high degree of anxiety. Methods: the study was conducted with a randomized sample of 31 Speech Therapy students aged between 17 and 32 years; 61.3% (n = 19) were females and 38.7% (n = 12) were males. They were divided into two groups, Group 1 (G1), comprising 11 students with TMD, and Group 2 (G2), composed of 20 students without TMD. The college students answered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) for anxiety investigation, and were evaluated by the protocol Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) for TMD diagnosis. The evaluation of muscular electrical activity took into account the records in the conditions of rest, Sustained Maximum Voluntary Activity (SMVA) and habitual chewing (HC). The data were analyzed using the version 22 IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The statistical analysis was performed using Student t test to compare means between groups, considering < 0,05 as the significant p-value. Results: college students, of both groups, presented high levels of anxiety traits. Significant statistical differences were observed on the percentage of electrical activity of right masseter muscle in chewing function, as well as muscle fibers recruitment during chewing, which were higher on the group without TMD. Conclusion: college students with TMD and a high degree of anxiety presented lower means of masseter muscle electromyografic activity during chewing, in most conditions assessed, as compared to volunteers without TMD, except for the left masseter muscle in rest and chewing.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare the weight gain among newborns submitted to the kangaroo method and those not submitted to it, and to analyze the factors that may influence this gain: length of hospital stay, gestational age, corrected gestational age, birth weight, weight on the first day of follow-up, duration of gastric tube feeding, duration of oral feeding, and type of diet. Methods: a cross-sectional, quantitative study, with 86 newborns divided into two groups: group 1, with 48 neonates undergoing skin-to-skin contact and Group 2, 38 newborns who did not have this contact. Weights were recorded until hospital discharge. Results: a greater weight gain in Group 1, a longer time of hospitalization in Group 2, and a significant difference in weight gain related to the type of diet in Group 2. Conclusion: skin-to-skin contact has a positive influence on weight gain and length of hospital stay of newborns. The use of an infant formula does not influence weight gain for dyads who experienced skin-to-skin contact. Gestational age, corrected gestational age, birth weight, weight on the first day of follow-up, duration of gastric tube feeding, duration of oral feeding are not correlated with weight gain.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the knowledge of elementary school teachers on child dyslexia. Methods: 10 teachers from the 1st to the 5th year of elementary education in public schools in the municipality of Abreu e Lima, Pernambuco, Brazil, participated in the study. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each teacher, individually, in the school itself and was based on some guiding questions. Results: content analysis allowed the identification of three thematic categories: 1. Teacher training does not address dyslexia; 2. Feelings and difficulties of the literacy teacher facing the challenges of literacy; 3. Lack of knowledge about dyslexia: school management of possibly dyslexic children. Conclusion: the research revealed the lack of knowledge of literacy teachers on dyslexia, despite having undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as that of teachers who participated in training offered by the municipal education network.
