Authors: Albuquerque Joanna , Sousa Agnys
Published: August 2019

Fibrosarcomas are malignant mesenchymal malignancies of fibroblasts that produce connective tissue and collagen, being more observed in the skin, mouth and subcutaneous tissue of dogs. Pain control has been an important topic in both human and veterinary medicine over the last few decades. In this way, local anesthesia has been increasingly used as an adjunct to general anesthesia techniques during dental procedures in animals. A canine was attended at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Piauí in Teresina, presenting a mass in the region of the left mandible at about 5 months and with faster growth in the last month, normorexia, normodipsia, normouria, normochia. Physical examination revealed a rectal temperature of 38.8 ° C, hydrated, rate without alteration of rhythm and frequency, strong pulse, alertness, normocorous mucosa, left submandibular reactive lymph node and mass in the left mandibular region 6x6 cm. Cytological examination was suggestive of malignant mesenchymal neoplasia. A serological test was performed for Erlichiosis, with a positive result, chest X-ray without alterations, skull radiography showing a circular mass in the left mandible with bone destruction. Treatment was then made for Erlichiosis using doxycycline and imidocarb as the main medication. The surgery performed was the mandibulectomy central and rostral of the left mandible. In view of the above, this report aims to describe the case of a canine with fibrosarcoma in the oral cavity, attended at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Piauí, highlighting the importance of the use of local blocks for pain control.

Among the most preyed species, the agouti has been noted for having suffered a significant reduction of their populations, leading to them being frequently kept in captivity. The objective of this study was to describe the behavioral categories of the agouti in captivity, aiming to contribute to the study of hypotheses about the biology and the management of this rodent, as well as to analyze the influence of the behaviors with the survival and reproduction of the captive species. The research was carried out at the Center for Studies and Preservation of Wild Animals (NEPAS) of the Federal University of Piauí. Were observed for 1860 hours two groups of Dasyprocta prymnolopha, the first consisting of two males, five females and four pups, and the second by two males, seven females and one cub, totalizing 21 animals belonging to groups already formed and kept in captivity in NEPAS. The behavior of the animals was recorded manually (using a drawing board, pencils and notebooks) and eventually used binoculars for detailed observation of isolated behaviors. We found 14 behavioral categories, being able to identify eight distinct behaviors: food behavior; rest; exploration; body care; collection and transportation of material; agonistic behaviors; reproductive behaviors and marking of territory. It was concluded that the behavioral analyzes presented can bring practical contributions to the adequacy of the animal facilities, as well as the improvement of the management, improving the welfare of the agouti in captive regime.

Foreign bodies are objects that can cause obstruction or discomfort to the animal and, in general, have sharp, sharp tips that can pierce an esophageal mucosa. Dogs are more affected than cats because of indiscriminate foods. The esophagus presents a relatively tubular anatomy, responsible for feeding the pharynx to the stomach. The clinical signs of obstruction vary and depend on the duration, location, degree of obstruction and involvement of the esophageal wall. The diagnosis is based on the patient's clinical history, radiography or endoscopy. Surgical removal is widely used for the range of possibilities, whose procedure of choice and protocol varies according to the location, size / shape of the foreign body and degree of obstruction, such as thoracotomy. The case of this work is to report a case of a thoracic esophagotomy that may be useful for the removal of a foreign body that may obstruct the thoracic functions of a dog.

Authors: Vinarski M.V.
Published: August 2019

Mollusks of the genus Galba Schrank, 1803, inhabiting north-east Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, are separated into two morphologically distinct groups. The first group contains two conchologically indistinguishable species, G. truncatula (O.F. Müller, 1774) and G. schirazensis (Küster, 1862). The second group includes one species characterized by significantly larger size and different shell proportions as compared to G. truncatula and G. schirazensis. This species is new one and described here as G. robusta sp. nov. with type locality situated in Yemen. It is hypothesized that G. robusta sp. nov. has a vast distribution, ranging from Central Iran southwards to East Africa. A comparison of the new taxon with two nominal species of Galba, G. mweruensis (Connolly, 1929) and G. umlaasianus (Küster, 1862) described from East and South Africa, as well as some data on conchological variation of African representatives of this genus are given.

Published: August 2019

À l’instar de bien de pays, la phytothérapie est d’usage fréquent chez les diabétiques au Maroc. Afin d’évaluer la prévalence des effets indésirables (EI) liés à l’utilisation des plantes médicinales (PM), une enquête a été menée auprès de 384 patients diabétiques (PDs) du service d’endocrinologie de l’hôpital Ibn-Sina de Rabat. Elle s’est déroulée du 8 janvier au 8 avril 2018 à raison de trois jours par semaine. Un questionnaire de 24 questions a été utilisé. 80,46 % des PDs interrogés sont des femmes. L’âge moyen était de 54,42 ans. Les analphabètes ont été les plus concernés par l’utilisation des PM et par la survenue des EI. Une nette dominance du diabète de type 2 a été notée (83,86 %). Deux cent dix-sept (56,50 %) des PDs utilisaient les PM, et 35 (16,13 %) ont présenté des EI. Ces derniers sont représentés par des troubles digestifs, des hyper- et hypoglycémies prononcées, une atteinte hépatique et un coma vigil. Les PM dont l’usage coïncide avec l’apparition des EI sont le fenugrec (54,28 %), l’olivier (14,28 %) et la sauge (8,56 %). L’évaluation du lien de causalité de ces EI a été probable dans 29,73 % des cas et possible dans 37,84 %. Certains de ces EI résultent d’interactions plante–médicament. Cette étude a permis de montrer que l’usage des PM est fréquent et qu’il peut conduire à des EI graves et à des interactions PM–médicaments.

Published: August 2019

Background: In spite of the increasing degree of automation in industry, manual material handling (MMH) is still performed in many occupational settings. The aim of the current study was to determine the maximum acceptable weight of lift using psychophysical and electromyography indices.Methods: This experimental study was conducted among 15 male students recruited from Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Each participant performed 18 different lifting tasks which involved three lifting frequencies, three lifting heights and two box sizes. Each set of experiments was conducted during the 20 min work period using free-style lifting technique and subjective as well as objective assessment methodologies. SPSS version 18 software was used for descriptive and analytical analyses by Friedman, Wilcoxon and Spearman correlation techniques.Results: The results demonstrated that muscle activity increased with increasing frequency, height of lift and box size (P<0.05). Meanwhile, MAWLs obtained in this study are lower than those in Snook table (P<0.05). In this study, the level of muscle activity in percent MVC in relation to the erector spine muscles in L3 and T9 regions as well as left and right abdominal external oblique muscles were at 38.89%, 27.78%, 11.11% and 5.55% in terms of muscle activity is more than 70% MVC, respectively. The results of Wilcoxon test revealed that for both small and large boxes under all conditions, significant differences were detected between the beginning and end of the test values for MPF of erector spine in L3 and T9 regions, and left and right abdominal external oblique muscles (P<0.05). The results of Spearman correlation test showed that there was a significant relation between the MAWL, RMS and MPF of the muscles in all test conditions (P<0.05).Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it was concluded if muscle activity is more than 70% of MVC, the values of Snook tables should be revisited. Furthermore, the biomechanical perspective should receive special attention in determining the standards for MMH

Published: August 2019

Background: Radiotherapy with large mantle field is an effective technique in increasing the risk of secondary cancers among HL (Hodgkin Lymphoma) patients; therefore, it is essential to choose an effective treatment field including the least medical conditions in radiotherapy.Objective: The present study aimed to plan separate fields for neck and mediastinum using various energies, to compare dose distribution with MLC and to block field formation.Materials and Methods: In this study, 3D conformal treatments, Siemens Oncor accelerator equipped with multi-leaf collimator (MLC) were performed to create anterior-posterior fields. CT-scan data of 18 female patients with neck and mediastinal involvement was imported in TIGRT treatment planning system, and then treatment plans were introduced.Results and Conclusion: Using treatment plan 1, photon 6 MV in neck weighting 1 from interior, 0.5 from posterior, photon 18MV in mediastinum weighting 1 from interior and 0.5 from posterior, it was shown that regarding the common treatment plan used with photon 6 MV, mean dose delivered to breast, lung, esophagus and larynx reduced 6, 7, 41 and 10 percent, respectively and uniformity index improved by 10 percent. Using block compared to MLC in all treatment plans offered improved average dose in all organs under study. To protect breast and lung while using MLC and block in the first treatment plan seemed to be more appropriate; however, using blocks in comparison to MLC increased delivered mean dose in all organs under study. Using separate fields with Pb blocks, though, showed smaller increase.

Authors: Fooladi M , Sharini H , Masjoodi S , Khodamoradi E
Published: August 2019

Background: Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging (QMTI) is often used to quantify the myelin content in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions and normal appearing brain tissues. Also, automated classifiers such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) can significantly improve the identification and classification processes of MS clinical datasets.Objective: We classified patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) from healthy subjects using QMTI and T1 longitudinal relaxation time data of brain white matter and the performance of three ANN-based classifiers have been investigated.   Materials and Methods: Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and quantitative magnetization transfer scans were obtained from RRMS patients (n=30) and age-matched healthy subjects (n=30). After image pre-processing and brain tissue segmentation, QMTI parameters including magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), magnetization transfer rate (Ksat), T1 relaxation time under MT saturation pulse (T1sat) and T1 longitudinal relaxation time were calculated as parametric maps. Three ANN algorithms, including multilayer perceptron (MLP), radial basis function (RBF) and ensemble neural network based on Akaike information criterion (ENN-AIC) input features were extracted in the form of QMTI and T1 mean values. The ANNs quantitative performance is measured by the standard evaluation of confusion matrix criteria.Results: The results indicate that ENN-AIC-based classification method has achieved 90% accuracy, 92% sensitivity and 86% precision compared to other ANN classification models such as RBF and MLP. NPV, FPR and FDR values of the proposed ENN-AIC model were found to be 0.933, 0.125 and 0.133, respectively. A graphical representation of how to track actual data by the predictive values derived from each of the three algorithms, was also presented. It has been demonstrated that ENN-AIC as an effective neural network improves the quality of classification results compared to MLP and RBF.Conclusion: The efficiency and robustness of ENN classifier will greatly enhance with the use of AIC-based combination weights assignment. In addition, this research  provides a new direction to classify a large amount of quantitative MRI data that can help the physician in a correct MS diagnosis.

Authors: Zarenezhad M , Dehghani S M , Ejtehadi F , Fattahi M R , Mortazavi M , Tabei S M B
Published: August 2019

Background: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestases (PFIC) are a spectrum of autosomal progressive liver diseases developing to end-stage liver disease. ATP8B1 deficiency caused by mutations in ATP8B1 gene encoding a P-type ATPase leads to PFIC1. The gene for PFIC1 has been mapped on a 19-cM region of 18q21-q22, and a gene defect in ATP8B1 can cause deregulations in bile salt transporters through decreased expression and/or activity of FXR. Point mutations are the most common, with the majority being missense or nonsense mutations. In addition, approximately 15% of disease-causing ATP8B1 mutations are annotated as splicing disrupting alteration given that they are located at exon-intron borders.Objective: Here, we describe the hidden layer of computational biology information of rare codons in ATP8B1, which can help us for drug design.Methods: Some rare codons in different locations of ATP8b1 gene were identified using several web servers and by in-silico modelling of ATP8b1 in Phyre2 and I-TASSER server, some rare codons were evaluated.Results: Some of these rare codons were located at special positions which seem to have a critical role in proper folding of ATP8b1 protein. Structural analysis showed that some of rare codons are related to mutations in ATP8B1 that are responsible for PFIC1 disease, which may have a critical role in ensuring the correct folding.Conclusion: Investigation of such hidden information can enhance our understanding of ATP8b1 folding. Moreover, studies of these rare codons help us to clarify their role in rational design of new and effective drugs.

Published: August 2019

Background: While the benefits of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) are well known in maxillofacial imaging, the use of this modality is not risk-free.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the exposure doses received by patients during maxillofacial imaging with CBCT.Methods: Entrance surface dose (ESD) was measured by using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) attached to the eyes lids, parotid glands and thyroid of 64 patients in two imaging centers (A and B). Phantom dosimetry was performed by a cylindrical poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) head-size phantom and an ionization chamber for different exposure parameters. NewTom VGi and Planmeca Promax 3D CBCT scanners were used at centers A and B, respectively.Results: The mean ESD of the eyes, parotid glands and thyroid were 2.57, 2.33 and 0.28 mGy in center A, 0.35, 2.11 and 0.37 mGy in center B, respectively. ESD of the eyes revealed a significant difference in two centers; in center B, it was 86.4% lower than center A. In the phantom dosimetry, the measured doses of NewTom VGi were 2.63 and 2.08 mGy, respectively by changing field of view (FOV) size from 8×8 cm2 (height × diameter) to 6×6 cm2. For Planmeca Promax 3D, it ranged from 0.98 to 3.24 mGy depending on exposure parameters.Conclusion: There is a wide range of radiation doses dependent on the units, patients and selected scan parameters. Inappropriate selection of exposure settings, especially FOV size, can seriously increase patient dose.

The main theories of additional complications in the earth’s biosphere
Authors: Shvartsev S. L.
Published: August 2019

Evolution is an important topic for science in general and has been the main concern of many scientists for several decades. One reason for this continued interest is that science is yet to disclose the creative role that water plays in the formation of the outer shell of the Earth, determined by its antagonistic relationship with basalts and with the simple products of photosynthesis. Nonequilibrium is the main state in all evolutionary processes, ensuring the creation of new equilibrium formations with the environment. However, the water cycle, which continuously determines the flow of new water to systems breaking equilibria, produces an additional complication, leading to the constant acceleration of the evolution of the structure that characterized by V.I. Vernadsky as "water–rock–gas–organic matter (animate and inanimate)". Water provides a unity of the behavior of inert material and living matter.
Cyclical movement of religions: from unity to... unity
Authors: Gorokhov S. A.
Published: August 2019

It has been established that the formation and development of a confessional space, influenced by competition between religions, are cyclical. Due to the weakening of the monopoly and growth of religious competition, once-prevailing religions begin to lose their position either to another religion (the R-cycle of religious competition) or to secular ideologies (such as social secularization, the S-cycle, or political secularization, the SP-cycle), a hallmark of the 19th–21st centuries. Moreover, the research revealed long inter-cycle stages in religious saturation. All three types of cycles are non-periodical. The S- and SP-cycles are also intermittent and reversible, and they may proceed in parallel with each other and with R-cycles. The diffusion of these cycles is wave-like but differentiated within the confessional space structure: the occurrence of the R-cycle is confined to countries and their administrative–territorial units, while the SP-cycle appears in world macro-regions, and the S-cycle does not appear to be constrained.

Published: August 2019

This article presents the results of a study on the representation of Russian publications in the global array of publications that discuss narrow thematic areas within the entire post-Soviet period, using ranking distributions from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC). For extraction and analysis, the classifiers provided by the WoS categories were used. Of the 252 subject categories in the WoS CC, the share of Russian publications for 2010–2017 was not less than 0.4% of the global flow in 132 scientific areas. Therefore, in the period 1993–2000, a gradual recovery was found of Russia’s lost position in the world ranking of countries by number of publications in the WoS CC. Currently, positive changes have been observed both for the entire array of Russian publications in particular in narrow scientific topics. The highest-ranking position for Russian publications fell in 1993–1999, and the greatest decline, when the share of Russian publications fell to their minimum values, was in 2011–2014. Data on the scientific areas in which Russia managed to stay in the top 10 leading countries during its recent history, according to share of publications in the global array, are presented. This list slightly expanded from 2010 to 2017, and today, it includes 39 areas in which Russia is in the top 10 countries, and it is among the five leading countries in eight areas of knowledge.

Curcumin is extracted from turmeric exhibiting several biomedical activities. Unfortunately, less aqueous solubility was still a drawback to apply it in medicine. This study introduced a method to produce a thermosensitive nanocomposite hydrogel (nCur-PG) containing curcumin nanoparticles (nCur) which can overcome the poor dissolution of curcumin. Regarding to the method, a thermo-reversible pluronic F127-grafted gelatin (PG) play a role as surfactant to disperse and protect nanocurcumin from aggregation. The synthetic PG was identified by 1H-NMR. The obtained results via Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) indicated that the size of nCur was various in the range from 1.5 ± 0.5 to 128 ± 9.7 nm belong to amount of the fed curcurmin. The nCur-dispersed PG solution formed nCur-PG when the solution was warmed up to 34-35 oC. Release profile indicated sustainable release of curcumin from hydrogel. Thermosensitive nanocomposite hydrogel based pluronic-grafted gelatin and nanocurcumin performed potential application of the biomaterial in tissue regeneration.

The obtained results showed that due to annealing, the thermoelectric properties of the GZO films were significantly enhanced: (1) power factor increased with an increase of electron mobility due to high film crystallinity; (2) The figure of merit ZT values of the GZO film annealed at 500 oC (ZT = 0.114) was one order higher the asdeposited GZO film (ZT = 0.012). The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra depicted various kinds of point defects which controlled thermoelectric properties and both oxygen vacancies VO and zinc interstitial Zni played an important role.

The granite of the Song Ma block mainly consists of two types of granite: biotite granite and hornblende-biotite granite. Biotite granites have the percent of plagioclase (35– 45%), K-feldspar (25–35%), quartz (~20%) and biotite (~10%). Biotite-hornblende granite with the content of plagioclase (40–50%), Kfeldspar (10–15%), hornblende (5–10%) and biotite (5%). Zircon crystals were selected from the granite of Song Ma block are V0741, V0856 and V1006 samples with the LA-ICPMS U-Pb analyses gave concordant ages concentrated at 257±4Ma, 262±3Ma and 241±6Ma (weighted mean). Those ages are older than the results of the previous research. The mineral assemblages and geochemical characteristics show the typical of I-type granites. The results of Hf isotope composition analysis give the value of εHf(t) from +7.3 to +13.9, which is proven the sources of the granite Song Ma block similar to the granite of Phan Si Pan zone, NW Viet Nam during the period from late Permian to early Triassic.

Background: Serum ferritin is known as an index for body iron stores also as an inflammatory marker and it is influenced by several disease. We were looking for a correlation between HbA1c and S. Ferritin in type 2 DM.

Methodology: The present study a total of 150 participants were enrolled of which 100 were confirmed cases of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and rest 50 age and sex matched healthy subjects constituted the control group. All were screened for HbA1c, Fasting blood sugar, Post prandial blood sugar and S.Ferritin.

Results: A highly significant variation and positive correlation was observed with respect to S.Ferritin and HbA1c levels. Mean S.Ferritin was high in the subgroup with poor glycemic control.

Conclusion: The fasting, post prandial sugar levels, HbA1c and S.Ferritin were significantly higher in the diabetic subjects. This study shows a positive correlation between HbA1c and S. Ferritin levels. So we can conclude that in diabetic patients S. Ferritin may serve as an independent marker of poor glycemic and metabolic control.

Keywords: Serum ferritin, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, HbA1c.
Language Independent and Multilingual Language Identification using Infinity Ngram Approach

Now days it is possible to get massive amount of multilingual digital information that are generated, propagated, exchanged, stored and accessed through the web each day across the world. Such accumulation of multilingual digital data becomes an obstacle for information acquisition. In order to tackling such difficulty language identification is the first step among many steps that are used for information acquisition. Language identification is the process of labeling given text content into corresponding language category.

In past decades research works have been done in the area of language identification. However, there are issues which are not solved until: multilingual language identification, discriminating language category of very closely related languages documents and labelling the language category for very short texts like words or phrases.

In this investigation, we propose an approach which able to eradicate unsolved issues of language identification (i.e. multilingual and very short texts language identification) without language barrier. In order to attain this we adopt an approach of that uses all character ngram features of given text unit (i.e. word, phrase or etc).

Moreover, the proposed approach has a capability of identify the language of a text at any text unit (i.e. word, phrase, sentence or document) in both monolingual and multilingual setting. The reason behind this capability of proposed approach is due to adopting word level features, in which every words need to be classify with regard to its language category. The infinity ngram approach uses all character ngrams of text unit together in order to label the language category of given text per word level.

In order to observe the effectiveness of the proposed approach four experimental techniques are conducted: pure infinity character ngram, infinity ngram with location feature and infinity ngram with sentence and document level reformulation. The experimental result indicates that an infinity ngram with location feature and along with sentence and document level reformulation achieves a promising result, which is an average F-measure of 100% at word, phrase, sentence, document level in monolingual setting. As well, for multilingual setting also attains an average F-measure of 100% for both sentence and document level, but for phrase level achieves 84.33%, 88.95% and 90.19% For Amharic, Geeze and Tigrigna respectively. Beside this, at word level achieves 83.16%, 80.96% and 85.85% for Amharic, Geeze, and Tigrigna respectively.
América Latina: consideraciones y perspectivas sobre economía, productividad y educación
Authors: Casilda Béjar Ramón
Published: August 2019

Este trabajo presenta las consideraciones y las perspectivas sobre la economía de América Latina. Ahora que el actual entorno económico ha desmejorado en un corto espacio de tiempo, lo que supone un factor de riesgo para su crecimiento y su principal motor; las exportaciones de materias primas, que no hace demasiado tiempo, pasaban por un momento dulce.

 América Latina se encuentra ante un histórico cruce de caminos. Uno transita sobre el modelo de crecimiento tradicional conocido como primario exportador, basado en la exportación de materias primas, con la excepción de México, que se basa en la exportación de manufacturas. El otro camino, representa un modelo de crecimiento inclusivo, basado en tecnologías innovadoras que potencian la productividad y demandan una educación de calidad, en consonancia con las economías modernas del siglo XXI basadas en el conocimiento.
UM ALGO ALÉM DO CAPITALISMO E OUTRO AQUÉM DO COMUNISMO

O movimento do real requer a constante observação da teoria, que deve, igualmente, pôr-se em movimento. As revoluções, tidas como tempos e espaços espirais, porque portadoras de bifurcações civilizatórias, direcionaram o movimento ao círculo do poder segregado, no século passado, não mais se centrando no econômico, mas no político. Apenas teorias holísticas e práxis radicais poderão prever e conformar o novo, em toda a plenitude inovadora.

O passivo do processo da ocupação do território nacional perpassa por grandes desequilíbrios regionais, tanto nacionais, como no interior dos estados. Diversos pesquisadores e ações políticas tem se preocupado com esta temática a partir de várias concepções, sejam elas econômicas, no enfrentamento dos limitantes do setor, ou então políticas, a partir de prerrogativas de superação da centralização administrativa e necessidade de amadurecimento do processo de participação. O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar os avanços recentes dos Conselhos Regionais de Desenvolvimento do Rio Grande do Sul, como instâncias de representação, debate e deliberação tomando como referência temporal e analítica a reflexão trazida por José Eli da Veiga em 2006. Fizemos uso de leis e decretos que fundamentam os Conselhos, relatório de pesquisas recentes sob o tema e entrevistas com agentes envolvidos com a Instituição para essa reflexão. Os resultados apontam avanços na direção da qualificação dos estudos realizados a priori das ações consultivas e deliberativas dos Conselhos, entretanto há continuidades de práticas que enfraquecem a potencialidade dos mesmos, como desprendimentos de esforços que desvirtuam as propostas estratégicas da instituição e rebatem no enfraquecimento da proposta regional e na interescalaridade.

Published: August 2019

O estudo limnológico verificou a qualidade da água em uma seção fluvial do córrego Limoeiro, no município de Presidente Prudente, e em uma seção do rio Pirapozinho, município de Pirapozinho, pertencentes à bacia hidrográfica do rio Santo Anastácio localizada na Unidade de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos do Pontal do Paranapanema - UGRHI-22, no Oeste Paulista. O monitoramento limnológico ocorreu entre os anos de 2006 e 2015. Na análise temporal foi investigado o comportamento dos corpos hídricos ao deixarem de receber esgotos domésticos in natura provenientes da zona urbana dos referidos municípios. As seções amostrais nos canais fluviais foram selecionadas de maneira que estivessem situadas após a influência das zonas urbanas dos municípios de Presidente Prudente e Pirapozinho. As variáveis temperatura da água, potencial hidrogeniônico e oxigênio dissolvido foram monitoradas por meio de aparelhos digitais portáteis. As variáveis resíduos sedimentáveis, nitrogênio amoniacal, demanda química de oxigênio, demanda bioquímica de oxigênio, coliformes totais e Escherichia coli foram monitoradas por meio de protocolos de avaliação de acordo com o Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater 22nd Edition (2012). Os resultados obtidos durante os estudos apontaram melhoria na qualidade da água em ambas as seções. Com base nos resultados foi possível concluir que a partir de 2008 os córregos apresentaram recuperação de seus padrões de qualidade de acordo com as classes de enquadramento, preconizadas pela legislação ambiental.
