A IMPOSSIBILIDADE DE AMAMENTAR: Sentimentos atribuídos as mães com sorologia positiva para o HIV
Authors: Souza Fernanda Lara Lara
Published: August 2018

No Brasil, no período de 2000 ate junho de 2016, foram notificadas 99.804 gestantes infectadas por HIV. Fator considerado, um relevante problema de saúde pública, pela possível transmissão vertical (TV) do HIV. Com a introdução da terapia antirretroviral ou HAART (highlyactiveantiretroviraltherapy), estudos evidenciaram que o tratamento é eficaz para o controle da doença, melhoria da qualidade de vida e diminuição da transmissão do vírus, entretanto a amamentação é contra-indicada. Sabe-se que o aleitamento materno exclusivo é recomendado até os seis primeiros meses de vida sendo considerado o modo mais natural e seguro de alimentação para o neonato, possui uma influência biológica e emocional sem igual sobre a saúde tanto de mães quanto de crianças. Assim, objetivou-se neste estudo conhecer as peculiaridades apontadas pela literatura sobre os sentimentos, motivações e desafios das mães, com sorologia positiva para o HIV diante da impossibilidade de amamentar. Tratou-se de um estudo descritivo, realizado por meio, de uma revisão integrativa de literatura com abordagem qualitativa, nas bases de dados SciELO (Scientific Eletronic Library Online), Bireme (Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde). A amostra foi composta por 05 artigos após seleção criteriosa, utilizando-se dos seguintes descritores: “aleitamento materno; HIV; saúde da mulher”; além de critérios de inclusão (artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos; relacionados ao tema e escritos em língua portuguesa) e exclusão (artigos repetidos em mais de uma base de dados, artigos que após leitura minuciosa tenha-se identificado que não eram compatíveis com o tema). Os artigos foram submetidos à análise conteúdo, temática, com seleção de citações, descrições ou conceitos de interesse inerente ao tema. Os elementos forem descritos em categorias que dizem respeito, essencialmente, ao receio de revelar o diagnóstico que reside no temor quanto ao julgamento social, à humilhação por serem portadoras do vírus HIV; a tristeza, desespero, frustração, negação, culpa e solidão, afastamento da família e do trabalho; além dos medos da dor, morte, e de transmitir doença para a criança ao amamentar. Conclui-se que esses sentimentos precisam ser percebidos pela equipe que presta assistência, no sentido de planejar ações que venham minimizá-los. Sendo assim, aponta-se uma percepção para além do biológico, relacionando a complexidade da situação e a necessidade de ampliação da visão do pesquisador e dos profissionais da área da saúde, de forma a, proporcionar um atendimento digno e humanizado a essas mulheres.

Desde o início da década de 1970, as disputas por território na região Norte de Minas Gerais cresceram em consequência do “encurralamento” das comunidades rurais, da crise hídrica e assoreamento de solos provocados pelas ocupações desordenadas dos empreendimentos da monocultura do eucalipto. Recentemente, criou-se uma unidade de conservação de uso sustentável em área de cerrado na região com o objetivo de proteger a biodiversidade e as nascentes que ainda restam. O presente trabalho procurou compreender de que modo os diversos saberes (científicos, tradicionais, religiosos, dos movimentos sociais, dentre outros) foram mobilizados, na comunidade de Água Boa II, no processo de criação da reserva de desenvolvimento sustentável Nascentes Geraizeiras. Realizou-se trabalho de campo por meio de visitas e entrevistas semiestruturadas a moradores da comunidade mencionada. As informações obtidas nos indicam que os camponeses envolvidos na luta pela criação da reserva de desenvolvimento sustentável possuem um modo próprio e singular de relacionar-se com a natureza, através de saberes que entrelaçam diferentes conhecimentos, especialmente aqueles ligados aos conceitos de território, comunidade, religiosidade e biodiversidade.Palavras-chave: Reserva de desenvolvimento sustentável; Conhecimentos tradicionais; Saberes; Geraizeiros; Biodiversidade. ABSTRACT: Since the beginning of the 1970’s, disputes over territory in the northern region of Minas Gerais increased, as a consequence of the cornering of rural communities, of the hydric crisis and of the silting of soils caused by disordered occupations of eucalyptus monoculture enterprises. Recently, a unit of conservation for sustainable use in an area of Brazilian cerrado in the region, with the objective of protecting a biodiversity and water resources that still remain, was created. The present work sought to understand how the diverse knowledge (scientific, traditional, religious, social movements, among others) were mobilized in the community of Água Boa II in the process of creating the sustainable development reserve Nascentes Geraizeiras. Fieldwork was carried out through visits and semi-structured interviews with residents of the mentioned community. The information obtained indicates that the peasants involved in the struggle to create the sustainable development reserve have a unique way of relating to nature, through knowledge that interweaves different wisdoms, especially those related to concepts of territory, community, religiosity and biodiversity.Keywords: Sustainable development reserve; Traditional knowledge; Knowledge; Geraizeiros; Biodiversity.

Adapting to Climate Change Through Source Water Protection: Case Studies from Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada
Authors: Patrick Robert J
Published: August 2018

The protection of drinking water sources continues to gain momentum in First Nation communities on the Canadian Prairie. Through the identification of potential threats to drinking water sources communities are taking action to mitigate those threats. This article explores the extent to which climate change has been taken into consideration in recent source water protection planning community exercises. In addition, this article describes how source water protection planning has potential to enhance community adaptation strategies to reduce the impacts of climate change on source water and drinking water systems. Results are based on six case studies from Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Investigation on quality of thin concrete cover using mercury intrusion porosimetry and non-destructive tests
Authors: EDDY Liyanto , MATSUMOTO Koji , NAGAI Kohei , CHAEMCHUEN Piyaphat , HENRY Michael , HORIUCHI Kota
Published: August 2018

Mercury intrusion porosimetry test was carried out to investigate the quality of thin concrete cover. Specimens with different water-to-cement ratios were prepared and exposed to different environmental conditions. The results show that the pore structure of the cover is coarser than that of the center portion when the cover is insufficient. With thinner cover, the pore structure becomes coarser. With decreasing water-to-cement ratio, the pore structure becomes finer, and the difference in the pore structure between the cover and the center portion becomes smaller. If the cover is insufficient, not only the distance needed for substances to reach the bar becomes shorter, but also the pore structure becomes coarser. At 91 days, the pore structures of outdoor specimens are almost the same as those of indoor specimens although the exposure conditions are different. To investigate the applicability of the air permeability test and electric resistivity test to evaluate the cover quality when the cover is insufficient, specimens with different water-to-cement ratios and cover depths were prepared. A combination of the air permeability test and electric resistivity test roughly pointed out the poor quality of the insufficient concrete cover and is a useful technique to evaluate the concrete cover in real structures.

Authors: ÖZER Ürün , UYGUN Ersin
Published: August 2018

Amaç: Alkolik karaciğer hastalığı, karaciğer naklinin önde gelen
endikasyonlarından biridir. Karaciğer nakli sonrasında olumlu sonuçlar elde
edilmekle birlikte, bazı olgularda alkol alımının tekrar ortaya çıktığı
bildirilmiştir. Çalışmamızın amacı bu hastalarda psikiyatrik eş tanıları ve
karaciğer nakli sonrasındaki izlem döneminde yeniden alkol kullanımını
incelemektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Kurumumuzda alkolik karaciğer hastalığı nedeniyle
karaciğer nakli yapılan 14 hastanın bir yıllık tıbbi kayıtları retrospektif
olarak incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: On
dört hastadan beşinde (%35,7) geçmişte psikiyatri başvurusu, dördünde (%28,6)
psikiyatrik tedavi öyküsü saptanmıştır. Psikiyatrik görüşme sırasında halen
psikiyatrik hastalığı devam eden ve psikiyatrik tedavi gören hasta sayısı ikidir
(%14,3). Bu hastalarda gözlenen tanılar alkol kullanım bozukluğu, depresyon ve
anksiyete bozukluğudur. İzlemde bir hasta kaybedilmiş, kalan 13 hastadan hiçbirinde
alkol kullanımında yineleme gözlenmemiştir.

Sonuç: Alkolik
karaciğer hastalığı karaciğer nakli için ideal bir endikasyondur ve yakın
izlemle alkol kullanımında yineleme önlenebilir. Psikiyatri hem nakil öncesi
hem nakil sonrası dönemde organ nakli ekibinin vazgeçilmez bir üyesi olmalıdır.
Referenciação e progressão tópica: aspectos cognitivos e textuais
Authors: Marcuschi Luiz Antônio
Published: August 2018

This paper analyzes the relation between topic progression (maintenance of theme) and referetiation (process of the organization of referents) throughout a text. From a cognitive point of view we know that the user’s (producers and receivers) task is made more difficult if the investiment in shared knowledge and new knowledge is not managed with equilibrium. Therefore, we postulate that textual progression and its correlation with stable cognitive models is a complex activity of explicitation realized by means of repetition, cognitive pressupposition, lexical selection, syntactic decisions, and so forth. This study, then, is an attempt to define parameters taken from textual production that are valid for a set of differentiated discursive genres.

O tópico discursivo em questão: considerações teóricas e análise de uma narrativa literária
Authors: Rezende Renato Cabral
Published: August 2018

Considering the discourse topic concept and its distribution into two axes, hierarchical and linear, this paper aims at analysing both the distribution of topic units at the linear axis and the usage of textual connectives in the Sixth narrative of Relações, by Heleno Godoy. Having this short story as my object of study, I propose that these categories can contribute to the construction of a discursive phenomenon, that is, the discursive ethos of its narrator.

Placement of topic changes in conversation
Authors: Souza Edson Rosa Francisco
Published: August 2018

A ciência lingüística não se resume apenas ao estudo de questões lingüísticas calcadas na língua escrita. É com base nessa premissa que surgiram na década de 70 os primeiros estudos sobre o funcionamento e a organização de conversações espontâneas e, assim, da língua falada como um todo. Nesse período da história, pesquisadores de várias áreas concluíram que o estudo de estruturas lingüísticas poderia ser frutiferamente realizado levando-se em consideração o contexto em que tais estruturas são usadas, que foi, aliás, o viés de análise acatado por inúmeros sociólogos da época – entre eles Douglas Maynard, uma vez que o estudo da língua falada deixava também transparecer o modo de interação social entre os falantes da língua.

Microbial life in the grapevine: what can we expect from the leaf microbiome?
Authors: Vionnet Léo , De Vrieze Mout , Agnès Dutartre , Gfeller Aurélie , Lüthi Angelika , L’Haridon Floriane , Weisskopf Laure
Published: August 2018

Aim: Recent studies have shown that plants harbor complex bacterial communities, the so-called “microbiome”. We are only beginning to unravel the origin of these bacterial plant inhabitants, their community structure and their roles, which, in analogy to the gut microbiome, are likely to be of essential nature. The aim of this work was to analyze the abundance and diversity of the cultivable members of the bacterial microbiome living in and on the leaves of grapevine, and to identify microbiome members with putative plant-protective activities against phytopathogenic organisms.Methods and results: Grapevine leaves were sampled three times during the growing season at one location and used to quantify the abundance and isolate representative members of the epiphytic and endophytic bacterial communities. Results were compared for three grapevine cultivars: Pinot noir, Chasselas and Solaris. Greater bacterial abundance and diversity was observed among epiphytes than among endophytes. Leaf imprints revealed a higher colonization density for the upper than for the lower surface of leaves. A high relative frequency of strains belonging to the genera Staphylococcus and Bacillus was observed, especially in the endophytic communities.Conclusions: The first results of this ongoing study led to the conclusion that epiphytic bacteria of the cultivable grapevine microbiome were more abundant and diverse than endophytic bacteria. A tendency towards more abundant bacteria in the resistant variety Solaris than in the susceptible varieties Chasselas and Pinot noir contrasted with a higher diversity of epiphytic bacteria in the Pinot noir variety. A trend for higher frequency of strains showing antagonistic activity towards the grapevine pathogen Botrytis cinerea among isolates from the resistant variety Solaris could indicate a putative contribution of microbiome bacteria to this resistant phenotype, even though this remains to be confirmed.Significance and impact of the study: This study constitutes a first step in characterizing the endo- and epiphytic cultivable bacterial communities of three grapevine varieties grown at the same location. Further, presently ongoing studies shall reveal i) the true complexity of these leaf-associated communities through cultivation-independent, next generation sequencing techniques, and ii) their potential as a source of biofungicidal agents. In this last point, the contribution of the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a newly discovered type of bacterial weapon against fungal and oomycetal pathogens shall be quantified.
Disease resistant grapevine varieties and quality: the case of Bouquet varieties
Authors: SALMON Jean-Michel , OJEDA Hernan , ESCUDIER Jean-Louis
Published: August 2018

The disease resistant grapevine varieties (ref A. Bouquet) were obtained by INRA from 4 or 5 generations of backcrossing between Muscadinia rotundifolia and Vitis vinifera and exhibit a high level of resistance against downy and powdery mildew. These varieties carry the resistance genes RUN 1 and RPV1, with several other secondary genes at one chromosomal locus. Agronomic criteria were studied for all these selections. Among the selected grapevine species, some have high levels of polyphenols. Some (white and red) have a high aromatic potential, while others have low sugar contents (135 g/L to 150 g/L) and adapted sugar/acidity ratio. All these characteristics were combined to design a new set of vine cultivars dedicated to the production of either low-alcohol wines, grape juices, or classical wines. Since 2012, within a France Agrimer/CIVL/INRA financial framework, 10 plots (0.5 ha each) were planted at INRA Pech Rouge with 8 resistant grape varieties (ref A. Bouquet) in order to examine long-term resistance to diseases and to define quality criteria for the classification of the wines obtained from these new grape varieties.
Recycling and Reuse Technology: Waste to Wealth Initiative in a Private Tertiary Institution, Nigeria
Authors: Olukanni David , Aipoh Anne , Kalabo Inibraniye
Published: August 2018

The practice of collecting, treating and management of solid waste prior to disposal has become a necessity in developing and modern societies. Over the years, it is known that most wastes that are disposed have a second hand value. However, the construction cost for conventional Material Recovery Facility(s) (MRFs) has been a major barrier for implementation. These technologies require considerable technical expertise, which is often not available in developing nations to successfully operate the MRFs. Covenant University; a private mission institution through her waste to wealth scheme is focused on managing and processing used materials to reusable products. These include Pet bottles, Paper wastes, Food wastes from cafeteria, plastic food packs, nylon, tin cans and others. Specific areas chosen for the Survey include the residential areas for staff and students and the two cafeterias. The waste generated was characterized based on the waste stream so as to quantify the amount of recyclable waste generated and most occurring. The survey involved the use of structured questionnaires, on-site observations and measurements. The study reveals an average amount of recyclable waste generated per day in the institution as 13.46% pet bottles, 4.03% paper, 55.56% food waste, 12.64% plastic, 9.63% nylon and 4.68% tin cans. The study established that adequate waste characterization is a requirement for effective integrated solid waste management which would boost resource recovery, reuse and recycling.
Multi-Objective Control of Air Conditioning Improves Cost, Comfort and System Energy Balance
Authors: Izawa Andrew , Fripp Matthias
Published: August 2018

A new model predictive control (MPC) algorithm is used to select optimal air conditioning setpoints for a commercial office building, considering variable electricity prices, weather, occupancy and lighting. This algorithm, Cost-Comfort Particle Swarm Optimization (CCPSO), is the first to combine a realistic, smooth representation of occupants’ willingness to pay for thermal comfort with a bottom-up, non-linear model of the building and air conditioning system under control. We find that using a quadratic preference function for temperature can yield solutions that are both more comfortable and lower-cost than previous work that used a ``brick wall'' preference function with no preference for further cooling within an allowed temperature band and infinite aversion to going outside the allowed band. Using historical pricing data for a summer month in Chicago, CCPSO provided a 3\% reduction in costs vs. a ``brick-wall'' MPC approach with similar comfort and 13\% reduction in costs vs. a standard night setback strategy. CCPSO also reduced peak-hours demand by 3\% vs. the ``brick-wall'' strategy and 15\% vs. standard night-setback. At the same time, the CCPSO strategy increased off-peak energy consumption by 15\% vs. the ``brick-wall'' strategy. This may be valuable for power systems integrating large amounts of renewable power, which can otherwise become uneconomic due to saturation of demand during off-peak hours.
Injury Threshold of Mouth Contact with Hot Solid or Paste-Like Foods and Sensory Evaluation of Consumption Temperatures
Authors: Lachenmeier Dirk W. , Lachenmeier Walter
Published: August 2018

Epidemiological studies indicate an increased risk of cancer from the consumption of very hot foods and beverages. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has already recommended threshold values for the maximum drinking temperature of very hot beverages. The contact time and the contact temperature are decisive for the risk of injury when hot media come into contact with human skin. However, measuring the contact temperature is not easily possible in practice. In the present study, a numerical simulation based on the solution of the heat conduction equation was initially used to investigate whether and for what period of time a constant contact temperature is to be expected under oral conditions. For small circular 3-cm food samples (e.g., cooked potatoes) with 2.5 mm thickness in contact with the tongue, the simulation results in a constant contact temperature of 10 s before cooling. With a thickness of 0.5 mm, the contact temperature is only maintained 1 s. Hot drinks, which spread as a thin film and thereby increase their surface area, can therefore be consumed at higher temperatures than solid foods. Furthermore, a simple test technique with a "measuring spoon" was developed. A hot sample is placed on the tongue. Orientating measurements were used to determine which contact temperature was considered to be just comfortable for any period > 10 s and for which period of less than 10 s it was still just bearable. The contact temperature, which was still perceived as tolerable for periods > 10 s, was 46.5 °C. The time spans for the higher contact temperature 48 °C were between 2 and 4 s and for 49 °C between 1 and 2 s. The course of the contact temperatures determined in the experiment over the contact time allows to calculate the corresponding threshold values of consumption temperatures for various foods such as potatoes, vegetables, cheese or fish. Consumption temperatures of about 56 °C for potatoes and 60 °C for cheese are still perceived as tolerable. In view of the fact that the contact temperature is obviously the determining factor for the risk of injury from burns in the oral cavity in addition to the contact time, it makes sense to reference threshold values to the contact temperature rather than to the surface or consumption temperature of a food product, which is the customary practice up to now. If this contact temperature is defined as a threshold value, the surface or consumption temperature for any other food can be calculated.
Beyond Computational Genomics towards Systems Metabolomics for Precision Oncology
Authors: Alberghina Lilia
Published: August 2018

Coordinated sets of extremely numerous digital data, on a given social or economic event, are treated by Artificial Intelligence tools to obtain reasonably accurate, valuable predictions. The same approach, applied to biomedical issues, as how to choose the right drug to completely cure a given cancer patient, does not reach satisfactory results. It is the “organized biological complexity”, which requires a different systems approach, to integrate, in an Augmented Intelligence strategy, statistical computations of digital data, network construction of “omics” findings, well-designed mathematical models and new experiments in an iterative pathway to reconstruct the “logic” beneath the “organized complexity”, as shown here for Systems Metabolomics of cancer. On this basis new diagnostic approaches, able to identify precision drug treatments, as well as new discovery strategy for more effective anti-cancer drugs are described.
Multi-Analytical Investigation of Stains on Dimension Stones in Master Valentim’s Fountain, Brazil
Authors: da Conceição Ribeiro Roberto Carlos , Marques Ferreira de Figueiredo Patrícia , Silva Barbutti Daniel
Published: August 2018

Master Valentim’s fountain became an important historical patrimony for Brazil, being portrayed by famous artists among them Jean-Baptiste Debret. In 1938, it was registered as cultural heritage by the Brazilian National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), and in 1990 it was subjected to excavation and restoration works. The fountain was built in Gneiss and Lioz limestone, with metallic plates and mortar connecting the Gneiss blocks. Currently, deteriorations in the fountain stones can be observed such as light stains and some aesthetic modifications caused by inadequate restorations. Petrography, XRF, XRD, Physical Properties, Colorimetry, Electrical Conductivity, ICP-OES, SEM-EDX, and TGA were performed in order to characterize the Gneiss blocks, the metallic plates, the stones used in previous restorations, as well as light stains observed on the Gneiss blocks. The petrography and XRD analyses inferred that light stains may have been caused by the formation of an insoluble salt as a result of the association of the lead from the plates with other elements. The XRD analysis on the light staining area indicated presence of cerussite (PbCO3), and anglesite (PbSO4), which are the probable cause of the light stains. The SEM-EDX results suggested that sulfur is the main element associated to lead.

Considering the safety issues of Li ion batteries, all-solid-state polymer electrolyte has been one of the promising solutions. In this point, achieving a Li ion conductivity in the solid state electrolytes comparable to liquid electrolytes (>1 mS/cm) is particularly challenging. Employment of polyethylene oxide (PEO) solid electrolyte has not been not enough in this point due to high crystallinity. In this study, hybrid solid electrolyte (HSE) systems are designed with Li1.3Al0.3Ti0.7(PO4)3(LATP), PEO and Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) or Lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). Hybrid solid cathode (HSC) is also designed using LATP, PEO and lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2, LCO)—lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4, LMO). The designed HSE system displays 3.0 × 10−4 S/cm (55 ℃) and 1.8 × 10−3 S/cm (23 ℃) with an electrochemical stability as of 6.0 V without any separation layer introduction. Li metal (anode)/HSE/HSC cell in this study displays initial charge capacity as of 123.4/102.7 mAh/g (55 ℃) and 73/57 mAh/g (25 °C). To these systems, Succinonitrile (SN) has been incorporated as a plasticizer for practical secondary Li ion battery system development to enhance ionic conductivity. The incorporated SN effectively increases the ionic conductivity without any leakage and short-circuits even under broken cell condition. The developed system also overcomes the typical disadvantages of internal resistance induced by Ti ion reduction. In this study, optimized ionic conductivity and low internal resistance inside the Li ion battery cell have been obtained, which suggests a new possibility in the secondary Li ion battery development.
Image-Based Surrogates of Socio-Economic Status in Urban Neighborhoods Using Deep Multiple Instance Learning

1) Background: Evidence-based policymaking requires data about the local population's socioeconomic status (SES) at detailed geographical level, however such information is often not available, or is too expensive to acquire. Researchers have proposed solutions to estimate SES indicators by analyzing Google Street View images, however these methods are also resource-intensive, since they require large volumes of manually labeled training data. 2) Methods: We propose a methodology for automatically computing surrogate variables of SES indicators using street images of parked cars and deep multiple-instance learning. Our approach does not require any manually created labels, apart from data already available by statistical authorities, while the entire pipeline for image acquisition, parked car detection, car classification and surrogate variable computation is fully automated. The proposed surrogate variables are then used in linear regression models to estimate the target SES indicators. 3) Results: We implement and evaluate a model based on the proposed surrogate variable at 30 municipalities of varying SES in Greece. Our model has $R^2=0.76$ and correlation coefficient 0.874 with the true unemployment rate, while it achieves mean absolute percentage error 0.089 and mean absolute error 1.87 on a held-out test set. 4) Conclusions: The proposed methodology can be used to estimate socioeconomic status indicators such as unemployment rate at the local level automatically, using images of parked cars detected via Google Street View, without the need for any manual labeling effort.

Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis affecting humans and other animals that can be transmitted a zoonosis with cats as the main vector. The conventional anti-fungal therapy is especially inefficient in immunocompromised patients, who tend to develop the most severe forms of the disease, thus prompting the search for alternative therapies. Given their antigen-presenting properties, dendritic cells (DCs) have been used in both prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination strategies. Hence, this study aims to assess the use of DCs as a prophylactic tool in sporotrichosis by evaluating the immune profile induced by Sporothrix schenckii cell wall proteins (SsCWP)-stimulated bone-marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs). Mouse BMDCs were stimulated with SsCWP for 24 hours and analyzed for the surface expression of co-stimulatory molecules and TLR-4, as well as the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and IL-10. Following that, activated BMDCs were cocultured with splenocytes for 72 hours and had the same cytokines measured in the supernatant. SsCWP-stimulated BMDCs showed higher expression of CD80, CD86, and CD40, but not TLR-4, and higher secretion of IL-6, IL-17A, and TNF. On the other hand, higher levels of IFN-γ, IL-10, and IL-2 were found in the supernatants of the coculture as compared with the BMDCs alone; TNF secretion was almost completely abrogated, whereas IL-6 was only partially inhibited and IL-17A was unaffected. Our results thus suggest SsCWP-stimulated BMDCs are able to induce a Th1-prone cytokine profile, known to be protective against other fungal diseases. This result could lead to evaluate  the development of prophylactic and/or therapeutic DC-based tools against sporotrichosis.

NS-3 is one of the most used Network Simulators because it includes different modules, applications and protocols to simulate a wide range of network. Since new proposals usually involve a large number of simulations, a procedure to automatize the simulation process and extract statistics is very useful. "Statistical Framework" (SF) is an important module of NS-3 because it fulfills this need. SF allows us to collect simulation data and obtain statistical reports for NS-3. In this report, we present a detailed description of statistical framework module and two useful examples of its configuration.

Maturity traits such as days to heading and days to physiological maturity have a large impact on agronomic characteristics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars grown in specific environments. Extended green leaf and green glume duration after heading in hard red spring wheat have been shown to result in longer grain‐fill duration, increased kernel weight, and higher grain yield in dry environments. The genetic relationship between maturity traits, seed quality, and functional bread‐making characteristics was investigated for three sets of recombinant inbred lines derived from crosses between hard red spring wheat parents. Early heading date was correlated with increased seed quality as indicated by test weight and kernel weight in all three genetic populations. Days to heading was not consistently correlated with functional quality related to bread‐baking. Longer green glume and green leaf duration after heading were typically positively related to seed quality traits including test weight and kernel weight in the three populations. However, increased green leaf and green glume duration after heading were often negatively correlated with functional quality parameters related to bread baking. Our results suggest that selection for long green leaf or green glume duration after heading to stabilize grain yield in a warmer climate may also result in a decrease in bread‐making potential.

Advanced sensor networks gather dense information on hydro‐meteorological variables.

The Alento CZO helps assess the impact of climate and land‐use change on ecosystem services.

Our research supports effective supply‐side and demand‐side adaptation strategies.

In recent years, the critical zone (CZ) of catchments across the Mediterranean region has been influenced by rapid changes in both climate seasonality and land use–land cover. Rural ecosystems in southern Europe are experiencing prolonged droughts, seriously compromising water resource availability and crop yields while increasing the risk of wildfire occurrence. Rainy seasons are likely to be characterized by intense storms that trigger floods, resulting in increasing damage severity. The negative effects of anthropogenic disturbance on hydrological ecosystem services can be tempered by demand‐side adaptation options and appropriate investments to ensure water supply under drought conditions. To shed light on some of the scientific challenges related to these issues, a critical zone observatory (CZO) has been established in the Alento River catchment. Although sampling campaigns and monitoring investigations have been performed in this area for >25 yr, a more systematic research program was recently started to take comprehensive measurements in representative subcatchments of the study area. These sites are instrumented with advanced ground‐based sensor network platforms that provide hydro‐meteorological variables and fluxes in the groundwater–soil–vegetation–atmosphere system. Hydrological models of different complexity exploit the dense information gathered to assess the impact of land use and climate changes on key functions and services of the CZO in the Alento River catchment.
