Significados, percepção de risco e estratégias de prevenção de gestantes após o surgimento do Zika vírus no Brasil
Authors: Lima Fernanda Macedo da Silva , Iriart Jorge Alberto Bernstein
Published: February 2021

Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender significados, percepção de risco e estratégias de prevenção da infecção pelo Zika vírus desenvolvidas por gestantes com diferentes condições socioeconômicas, atendidas em serviços de saúde público e privado da cidade de Salvador, Bahia, Brasil, bem como a contribuição de seus parceiros para lidar com o risco de infecção após o surgimento desse vírus no país. Foi realizado um estudo qualitativo, a partir do desenvolvimento de 18 entrevistas semiestruturadas, sendo nove com gestantes atendidas pelo setor público de saúde e nove com gestantes atendidas pelo setor privado de saúde. Os dados produzidos demonstraram insuficiências no conhecimento das gestantes sobre aspectos importantes da infecção pelo Zika vírus. A situação socioambiental na qual as gestantes estão submetidas foi um fator importante para a percepção de risco e estratégias de prevenção. Gestantes entrevistadas no setor público de saúde demonstraram se sentir mais vulneráveis ao risco de infecção no ambiente em que vivem do que gestantes entrevistadas no setor privado de saúde, com grande impacto sobre o seu bem-estar psicossocial. Segundo as gestantes, os parceiros exerceram intensa cobrança para que elas adotassem ações preventivas sem, no entanto, realizarem os mesmos cuidados, desconsiderando o risco de transmissão do vírus por via sexual. Conclui-se que, após aproximadamente três anos da epidemia no país, o Zika vírus ainda possui um grande impacto sobre a vida das gestantes e é imprescindível fortalecer as ações de comunicação em saúde para assegurar a disponibilização de informações que respondam adequadamente às necessidades da população sobre a doença.

Published: February 2021

The aim of this study was to compare self-reported with two accelerometer-derived methods to classify Chilean children and adolescents as physically active. In total, 247 students wore an accelerometer on their hips during 7 consecutive days to classify them as physically active based on (1) daily accumulation of ≥ 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on each of the seven days, and (2) average MVPA ≥ 60 minutes/day. Also, participants were classified as physically active if they reported being active for at least 60 minutes in all seven days. When using the accelerometer data, 0.8% were active in all seven days, while 10.5% recorded ≥ 60 minutes MVPA per day on average. Based on self-report, 7.2% were physically active. The agreement between self-reported and accelerometer estimations were poor. Important differences were observed between the self-reported and device-derived methods for classifying children and adolescents as physically active. When comparing them, some considerations should be taken. The findings suggest that these methods are not interchangeable. Therefore, if possible, they should be used as complementary measurements.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT: A synthetic medium containing glucose, glycerol, yeast extract (YE), and ammonium sulfate (AS) was compared to several low-cost media in their ability to produce high emulsification index (EI). The goal was to reduce the production costs of an emulsifier with application in food oil-in-water emulsions. To this end, agro-industrial by-products were screened for bioemulsifier production from Yarrowia lipolytica. The statistical analysis showed that the EIs of media containing residual frying oil from palm oil (RFO_palm) or soybean oil (RFO_soy), residual liquid from butter production (butter whey, BWhey) or cheese production (cheese whey, CWhey), supplemented with YE and AS were similar to the EI of the synthetic medium. The replacement of YE by corn steep liquor (CSL) also resulted in similar EI, except for RFO_soy. BWhey was tested with CSL without AS and similar EI (66.8%) was detected in comparison to that of the same medium with AS (66.3%). The cell-free broth obtained after Y. lipolytica growth in BWhey+CSL was successfully used to obtain vegetable oil-in-water emulsions indicating its potential application in food products.

ABSTRACT: The efficiency of the disinfectants used in the milking management is fundamental to the success in the dairy activity, being a critical point to the control of mastitis. The objective was to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of iodine used in pre and post-dipping against coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CNS). Thus, 53 CNS isolates were studied for the action of the 1.0% disinfectant and their serial dilutions of 0.5%, 0.375% and 0.25%, in addition to two commercial presentations of iodine in concentrations of 0.5% and 0.25%. The rate of CNS inhibition achieved by iodine at 0.375%, 0.5% and 1.0% for 60 seconds, was 60.4%. In 30 seconds, iodine at 0.5% and 1.0% showed a microbial inhibition rate of 52.8% and 56.6%, respectively. The other protocols tested were less efficient. It is concluded that the greatest in vitro disinfectant activity for CNS was demonstrated by iodine at 0.375%, 0.5% and 1.0%, for 60 seconds. Microbial susceptibility tests should be carried out periodically, as well as health education practices and corrective training on the property, in order to ensure udder health and mastitis control.

Authors: Landim Ana Paula Miguel , Chávez Davy William Hidalgo , Rosa Jeane Santos da , Mellinger-Silva Caroline , Rosenthal Amauri
Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT: The effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) application on whey protein concentrate was evaluated both before (pre-treatment - PT) and during (hydrolysis assisted - HA) hydrolysis processes. A factorial design 22 with 3 central points was used with pressure (100, 250, 400 MPa) and time (5, 20 and 35 minutes) as independent variables. The hydrolysis was evaluated and monitored by soluble protein, aromatic amino acid contents and RP-HPLC. ABTS and ORAC tests were used to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant capacity. The reduction of soluble protein content was approximately 20% for conventional hydrolysis and for all PT treatments up to 4 h of reaction, while HHP assisted hydrolysis at 100 MPa showed a 35% protein reduction after 35 minutes of reaction. In addition, pressurization favored peptic hydrolysis of β-lactoglobulin by up to 98% and also improved the in vitro antioxidant capacity of the hydrolysates, which increased from 34.25 to 60.89 μmoles TE g-1 of protein in the best treatment. The results suggest that the use of HHP assisted hydrolysis favored the peptic hydrolysis, with a reduction in hydrolysis time and increased antioxidant activity.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT: Although, serological assays for detecting immune response against Toxoplasma gondii in goats and sheep are frequent in Brazil, studies showing lesions and confirmation of infectious causes of abortion in goats in the state of Rio de Janeiro have not been reported. This study aimed to describe an abortion outbreak caused by T. gondii in a goat herd in the state of Rio de Janeiro. At histological examination, necrotizing encephalitis and lymphoplasmacytic myositis were observed in goat fetuses submitted to necropsy. The diagnoses were confirmed by immunohistochemistry, which revealed positive marking structures compatible with T. gondii bradyzoites in the brain and skeletal muscle cysts. T. gondii should be included among the causes of abortion in goats in the Southeast region of Brazil.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT: The effect of sunflower oil (SO), sunflower oil-pomegranate sauce (PS1) and sunflower oil-plum sauce (PS2) on shelf life of marinated carp fillets was investigated in terms of sensory evaluation, chemical (peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), free fatty acids (FFA), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and pH), and microbiological properties (Total viable count (TVC), Escherichia coli, Total coliform, Staphylococci/Micrococci, Salmonella spp.) during 30 days of storage. Proximate composition, which includes total crude protein%, fat%, moisture% and ash% of fresh carp fillets before marination process was analyzed and found 18.69±0.86, 4.08±0.19, 74.33±0.63 and 2.17±0.45, respectively. Sensory evaluation analysis showed that total appearance, odor-taste and texture scores decreased during storage. TVB-N significantly increased in all group after 1 month of storage (P<0.05). At the end of storage, the lowest TBA value (1.38 mg MA/kg carp fillet) was determined in the PS1 group. During storage, the highest POV value was observed in the control group (8.49 mEq O2/kg) compared to other groups. Initial TVC of 1.5 log CFU/g, 1.7 log CFU/g and 1.8 log CFU/g increased to 3.7 log CFU/g, 2.9 log CFU/g and 3.2 log CFU/g in SO, PS1 and PS2 groups, respectively. Results showed that the shelf life of marinated carp fillets treated with sunflower oil and in combination with pomegranate and plum sauce was more than 1 month.

Published: February 2021

Resumo A adoção é forma de possibilitar uma família às crianças e aos adolescentes privados do convívio familiar. Candidatos à adoção devem passar por um processo de avaliação e preparação, orientado pelas equipes técnicas dos Juizados da Infância e Juventude. Os profissionais devem avaliar questões complexas sobre adoção e parentalidade, porém a falta de um critério norteador pode trazer dificuldades nas avaliações. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever os critérios utilizados por técnicos judiciários do Rio Grande do Sul nos processos de habilitação para adoção. Realizou-se entrevistas com psicólogos e assistentes sociais de sete cidades do estado. Por meio da análise de conteúdo, identificou-se que se deve avaliar questões relativas à história de vida, características pessoais, relações familiares e sociais e as motivação para a parentalidade. Discute-se que os processos de habilitação podem ser pensados como um espaço de reflexão acerca do projeto de adoção e de parentalidade dos adotantes além de somente uma avaliação.

Authors: Miranda Ana Carolina Arruda , Bettio Claudia Daiane Batista , Schmidt Andréia
Published: February 2021

Abstract Shared book reading (SBR) as a teaching practice produces significant effects on development of verbal repertoires in children, especially when associated with strategies of explicit vocabulary teaching. This study aimed to test the cumulative effects of using word teaching strategies, during SBR sessions, on word learning by preschool children. Three sessions of SBR of the same story and a session of complementary activity about the words of the story read were carried out in a class of 13 children aged 4 to 5 years. It was identified significant children’s gains, between pre and post-test, in matching-to-sample tasks for nouns and in naming tasks, both for nouns and for verbs. The results confirm the effectiveness of using word teaching strategies during SBR and their feasibility in the natural classroom context.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT Objective To identify cut-off points of neck circumference measurement to predict insulin resistance in adolescents. Methods Cross-sectional analysis with data derived from the Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents, nationwide, multicenter, school-based survey. We evaluated 901 adolescents, aged 12 to 17, from public and private schools in two cities of Sergipe state in Brazil. We measured demographic, anthropometric, and biochemical data, and insulin resistance using Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance. We used multiple linear regression and logistic analysis to evaluate the association between dependent variables (biochemical) and independent variables (anthropometric) controlled by body mass index, age, gender, and Tanner’s stage. We used the Receiver operating characteristic curve to determine cut-off points of neck circumference that can identify insulin resistance. Results The multiple linear regression analysis showed a positive association between neck circumference measurement with fasting glycemia and glycated hemoglobin (p<0.001) and a negative association with insulin (p<0.024). Furthermore, in logistic regression, the measurement of neck circumference was the only anthropometric indicator positively correlated with homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance. The cut-off points of neck circumference for predicting insulin resistance were: 30.55cm for female pubertal and 32.10cm for post-pubertal adolescents; 35.90cm for male pubertal adolescents and 36.65cm for post-pubertal adolescents. Conclusions The measurement of neck circumference is a simple, practical anthropometric indicator and can be used as a screening tool to identify insulin resistance in adolescents.

Authors: Weiduschadt Patrícia , Albrecht Elias Kruger
Published: February 2021

Resumo Neste artigo, buscou-se analisar a representação de gênero, especialmente no que concerne aos papéis de trabalho atribuídos ao homem e à mulher, presente nas ilustrações das cartilhas Mein Rechenbuch (“Meu livro de cálculo”) e Fibel für Deutsche Schulen in Brasilien (“Cartilha para as escolas alemãs no Brasil”), produzidas pela editora Rotermund, que era vinculada ao Sínodo Rio-Grandense. Elaboradas em língua alemã, essas cartilhas se destinavam a atender escolas sinodais ligadas às igrejas luteranas, que atuavam junto às colônias de imigrantes alemães-pomeranos na região meridional do Rio Grande do Sul. Objetivou-se, assim, no decorrer do estudo, identificar possíveis direcionamentos sociais dados por intermédio do modo de organização do trabalho ilustrado nas cartilhas. Nesse contexto, observou-se que as relações sociais representadas são construções étnicas e culturais historicamente instituídas, integrantes de um processo que envolveu instituições escolares e religiosas.

Published: February 2021

Abstract: The objective of this work was to select cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) tree progenies and individuals based on their agronomic traits, and, indirectly, to identify those adapted to an agroforestry system (AFS) environment in the Brazilian Amazon. For this purpose, 25 full-sib progenies were planted and tested in consortium with black pepper (Piper nigrum), banana (Musa spp.), and bacuri (Platonia insignis) trees. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design, with five replicates and three plants per plot, from 2005 to 2019. For the statistical analyses, the phenotypic averages for production and incidence of witches’ broom disease, evaluated during 11 harvests, were used. Superior progenies and individuals were identified using the mixed model methodology (REML/BLUP), which led to the selection of ten plants from five families with superior agronomic traits. Cupuaçu tree progenies 6, 36, 37, 49, and 52 are the ones that best adapt to the environment of a multispecies AFS in the Amazon region because of their agronomic traits under competitive conditions. Ten matrices show agronomic potential and indirect adaptation to the AFS and can be used as clonal cupuaçu cultivars in this environment.
Perception and role of standards in the world of biomimetics
Authors: Wanieck Kristina , Beismann Heike
Published: February 2021

Biomimetics is the interdisciplinary co-operation of various scientific disciplines and fields of innovation, and it aims to solve practical problems using biological models. Biomimetic research and its fields of application are manifold, and the community is made up of a wide range of disciplines, from biologists and engineers to designers. Guidelines and standards can build a common ground for understanding of the field, communication across disciplines, present and future projects and implementation of biomimetic knowledge. Since 2015, three international standards have been published and defined terms and definitions, as well as specific applications. The scientific literature and patents in several databases were searched for citations of the published standards. Standards or technical guidelines on biomimetics are represented both in the scientific literature and in patents. However, taking into account the increasing number of publications in biomimetics, the number of publications (52) citing the international standards is low. This shows that the perception of technical rules is still underrepresented in the academic field. Greater awareness and acceptance of the importance of standards for quality assurance even in the academic environment is discussed, and active participation in the corresponding International Organization for Standardization committee on biomimetics is asked for.
Failure analysis of a landslide along the Mangla reservoir rim near Khaliqabad, Pakistan
Authors: Mehmood Fatima , Farooq Khalid
Published: February 2021

After the raising of the Mangla dam in Pakistan in 2010, a maximum reservoir impoundment level of 378.5 m was achieved in September 2014. The reservoir drawdown was started on 29 September 2014, and a landslide occurred on Mirpur–Kotli Road near Khaliqabad on 27 November 2014. This landslide took place due to the failure of a slope along the reservoir rim. This study was undertaken to investigate the causative factors of the Khaliqabad landslide. Site visits were carried out for recording field observations and collection of soil samples. The soil was subjected to different laboratory tests for the determination of its index and engineering properties. These soil parameters were used in Slope/W and integrated Seep–Slope/W analyses to study the effect of density, degree of saturation and reservoir drawdown on the slope stability. The ultimate reduction in the shear strength of the soil due to saturation with simultaneous removal of the stabilising effect of the reservoir was the main triggering factor. The results showed that the factor of safety dropped from 1.28 to 0.85 over a period of 60 days. The findings of this study can serve as a guideline for the modelling of slopes experiencing a reservoir drawdown scenario with the consideration of more realistic distribution of soil moisture/properties across the slope.
Seismic behaviour of concrete bridge piers with various types of transverse reinforcement

Published: February 2021

Past bridge failures due to earthquakes have been found to be due to inadequate seismic design of the bridge piers. It is thus essential to investigate the effect of lateral confinement on the seismic behaviour of bridge piers. The aim of this study was to evaluate, experimentally and numerically, the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge piers with various types of transverse reinforcement. For this purpose, three scaled-down (1 : 4) circular bridge pier specimens were tested under constant axial and quasi-static cyclic loading (QSCL). A control specimen was made with spiral lateral reinforcement, while the other two specimens were made with stirrups with cross-ties and strips with cross-ties. The hysteresis loops, envelope curves, energy dissipation and stiffness degradation of all three specimens were determined in order to evaluate their seismic behaviour. Compared with the control specimen, the specimen with strips and cross-ties showed increased lateral load capacity, cumulative energy dissipation and higher initial stiffness due to the effect of increased confinement. The results of finite-element analysis showed good agreement with the experimental results. The findings of this study indicate that strips with cross-ties can be used in bridge piers when a high lateral load carrying capacity and energy dissipation are required.
Heterocladium heteropterum, a new member of the Hungarian bryophyte flora
Authors: Baráth Kornél , Erzberger Peter
Published: February 2021

During the systematic field studies aimed at exploring the recent bryophyte flora of the Kőszeg Mts and in the framework of grid-cell based bryophyte recording, Heterocladium heteropterum was discovered in the valley of the stream Hármas-patak, as a new moss species for Hungary. The size of the population is estimated and the habitats are characterised. Taxonomic characterisation and illustrations are provided to distinguish it from H. dimorphum, which is the only related species growing in Hungary. Since H. heteropterum is known only in one location in the country so far, we suggest considering it as a critically endangered (CR) species.

Fritillaria meleagris is an endangered Eurasian species with declining populations in most of its distribution area. The signifi cance of the present study is to provide details for improving methods, how age-state structure can be identifi ed in a population. This could help finding the appropriate way of site-management where this species occurs. We investigated two F. meleagris populations in the western part of Hungary (Gyékényes, Tüskeszentpéter). We grouped the recorded plants into five age-state categories: dormant, juvenile, subadult, vegetative- and reproductive adult. We investigated diff erent plant traits such as plant height, number of leaves, leaf width and leaf length. The relative frequencies of leaf numbers differed signifi cantly between the two sites each year. Generally, the majority of the flowering plants had 5-6 leaves at both sites. Only plant height was positively related to plant reproductive success, but there were no clear trends in leaf width and leaf length. There are considerable diff erences in age-state ratios between our sampling sites. The proportion of reproductive plants was noticeably higher in both years in Tüskeszentpéter. Transition into dormant state was regular from all age groups at both sites.

Polymer-brushes-immersed-in-solvent-molecules v1
Authors: Edwards Mike
Published: February 2021

By means of density functional theory (DFT), influence of solvent molecules on polymer brushes is investigated. Osmotic pressure of solvent molecules gives rise to a stronger stretching of the brush chains in perpendicular direction. This suggests that the osmotic pressure of solvent molecules is a driving force in increasing thickness of brush layer.
Teacher Educators’ Conceptions of Language Assessment Literacy in Norway
Authors: Bøhn Henrik , Tsagari Dina
Published: February 2021

In order to gain a deeper understanding of what language assessment literacy (LAL) is and how it can be developed, it is relevant to investigate it from the point of view of different stakeholders (Harding & Kremmel, 2016). As for teacher LAL, this phenomenon has largely been studied from the teachers’ own perspectives, leaving other stakeholders’ understanding of the construct underresearched. The current study used an exploratory, qualitative research design to investigate teacher educators’ conceptions of teacher LAL in the Norwegian educational context. Teacher educators are an influential stakeholder group in education, whose knowledge of teaching and assessment can inform our understanding of teacher LAL in important ways. Taking Taylor’s (2013) LAL model as a starting point, this study explored five English teacher educators’ general understanding of teacher LAL, as well as the relevance of the components of Taylor’s model in particular. The study provides important empirical evidence of how teacher LAL may be understood and how Taylor’s model can be further developed.
Determinants of share repurchases: a quantile regression approach
Authors: Chasiotis Ioannis , Georgantopoulos Andreas.G , Eriotis Nikolaos
Published: February 2021

This study utilizes quantile regressions to investigate the effect of the determinants of share repurchases on firms at different points of the share repurchases distribution.  Empirical results from a large panel of  NYSE repurchasing firms, document an asymmetric effect of several determinants on share repurchases in terms of size, significance and direction. Excess capital, stock options and growth opportunities are significant throughout the distribution and their impact increases at successive quantiles while ownership concentration and leverage exhibit sign reversals between lower and upper quantiles. These differing effects are attributed to highly heterogeneous firm characteristics across quantiles.
Do Korean chaebols practice noblesse oblige? Evidence from their CSR activities
Authors: Joe Denis Yongmin , Lee Jiyoung , Oh Frederick Dongchuhl
Published: February 2021

This study analyzes the corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of the Korean chaebols to establish whether these firms engage in social duties and practice noblesse oblige. To measure the extent of the CSR activities, we use the index of the Korean Economic Justice Institute (KEJI) from 2005 to 2017. We find that the level of the CSR activity among chaebol firms with weak governance is low. Moreover, we show that chaebol firms with credit rating concerns reduce their CSR activities. Overall, our results indicate that Korean chaebols tend to neglect the CSR activities.

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of economic crisis on cost structureconfiguration of companies. For this reason, an empirical study in the form of online surveyhas been carried out in 82 Greek manufacturing companies. We received data from two periodsof great economic recession, namely during fall of 2013 and spring of 2015. Results indicatedthat companies most affected by the economic crisis, replaced fixed costs with variable ones.Cost structure configuration is the “tool” that companies used to limit the consequences of thecrisis in their profitability.

Analysing the effectiveness of the provisions at European level for guaranteeing equal pay amongst genders
Authors: Alves de Castro Charles
Published: February 2021

AbstractThis article aims to briefly understand and evaluate the main current European provisions for equal pay amongst genders. According to the European statistics compiled in 2012, the average differential in pay between the genders was 16% (in favour of men). In light of this statistic, this article critically analyses the provisions effectiveness at European level for guaranteeing equal pay. This research was carried out through a literature review. This is important to demonstrate, explain, and evaluate the current existent literature about this specific theme covered in this article. Furthermore, the literature review gives accuracy and validation to this research. In conclusion, there is a discussion on the challenges faced by European legislation to reduce unequal wages. The main finding relies on the evidence that women still earn less than men, even working at the same job. However, women had an efficient development over discrimination, offering them women effective legislation, although this factor explains only a little part of the pay gap. Keywords: Equal Pay. Human Resources. Employees. Europe. ResumoEste artigo tem como objetivo compreender e avaliar brevemente as principais disposições europeias para com a igualdade de remuneração entre os sexos. Segundo as estatísticas europeias compiladas em 2012, o diferencial médio de remuneração entre os sexos foi de 16% (a favor dos homens). De acordo com este dado, este artigo analisa criticamente a eficácia das disposições em nível europeu para garantir a igualdade de remuneração. Esta pesquisa foi realizada por meio de uma revisão de literatura. Isso é importante para demonstrar, explicar e avaliar a literatura existente sobre esse tema específico abordado neste artigo. Além disso, a revisão de literatura fornece precisão e validação para esta pesquisa. Em conclusão, há uma discussão sobre os desafios enfrentados pela legislação europeia para reduzir a desigualdade salarial. O resultado principal demonstra que as mulheres ainda ganham menos que os homens, mesmo trabalhando no mesmo emprego. No entanto, tiveram um desenvolvimento eficiente para superar a discriminação, oferecendo às mulheres uma legislação eficaz, embora esse fator explique apenas uma pequena parte da desigualdade salarial.

W imię spotkania. Antroponomastyka – lektura – etyka
Authors: Wójcik-Dudek Małgorzata
Published: February 2021

The author of the article in an anthroponomastic interpretation of literary texts sees the chance to sensitize the young reader not only to the fate of the characters of the texts, but also to other people. De-digitization of the literary character’s name proposed to students in Polish language lessons encourages them to resignation from interpretative schemes, enriching interpretation with a completely new context. In this sense, learning about language supports innovative readings, convincing students that literature lessons can become ethical workshops during which we improve the art of meeting with other people.
