Authors: Kuzmin Igor V. , Slesarevskaya Margarita N. , Al-Shukri Salman K.
Published: October 2024

Background. Overactive bladder (OAB) and nocturnal enuresis are among the most common causes of urinary dysfunction in adults and children, respectively. The pathogenesis factors of OAB and nocturnal enuresis largely coincide. Among adults with OAB, a large proportion of patients have a history of nocturnal enuresis.
Aim. To study the features of the clinical course of OAB in women with childhood nocturnal enuresis.
Materials and methods. The study included 212 women with OAB (mean age 54.1±0.8 years), who were divided into two groups depending on the presence of the history of childhood nocturnal enuresis. Group 1 included 41 (19.3%) patients with childhood nocturnal enuresis, group 2 included 171 (80.7%) women without a history of childhood nocturnal enuresis. All patients underwent a comprehensive urodynamic study.
Results. The severity of clinical symptoms of OAB did not differ between patients of groups 1 and 2. Predictors of a more severe clinical course of OAB and a greater likelihood of developing urge incontinence were the presence of a non-monosymptomatic form of enuresis and an age of cessation of enuresis of 10 years or older. Women from group 1 also showed a higher incidence of detrusor overactivity compared to group 2 (29.3% vs 10.5%).
Conclusion. The results of the study indicate a connection between childhood nocturnal enuresis and the clinical course of OAB in adult women.

Published: October 2024

The classic model of non-contact ACL injury includes environmental, anatomical, hormonal and biomechanical risk factors which directly impact either the amount of stress placed on the ligament or the relative capacity of ligament to withstand the forces placed on it. However, cognition also clearly plays a role in successful athletic performance, yet diminished cognitive function is rarely considered a risk factor for injury.

Objective

To examine the existing literature to determine the extent to which cognitive function (both cognitive ability and task cognitive load) influences non-contact lower extremity injury risk in male and female athletes with a broad variety of athletic expertise.

Study Design

Scoping Review

Methods

An electronic search was conducted of CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE using the PRISMA method. Search terms included Boolean combinations of “cognition”, “concussion”, “ImPACT”, “cognitive deficit”, “mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)”, and “neuropsychological function” as cognitive descriptors and the terms “injury risk” and “lower extremity injury” as injury descriptors. Inclusion criteria included papers written in English published between 2000-2021. Exclusion criteria included neurological and cognitively atypical populations, except for concussion (included). Included articles were appraised using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies.

Results

Fifty-six studies utilizing across the spectrum of levels of evidence met inclusion criteria. Forty-one articles had good, fourteen had fair, and one had poor methodological quality. Studies examined baseline cognitive function in healthy athletes (n=7); performance during dual-task paradigms (n=13); and the impact of concussion on dual-task performance (n=4), LE injury risk (n=22), or post-concussion testing (n=10). Six articles examining cognitive function and all dual-task studies (including concussion studies) found altered biomechanics associated with injury or increased processing demands. Studies related to concussion and injury incidence consistently found an increased risk of LE injury following concussion. Half of the studies that examined concussion and post-concussion cognitive testing demonstrated significant effects.

Discussion

Consistent across participant demographics, tasks, and dependent measures, fifty-one of fifty-six assessed articles concluded that decreased cognitive ability or increased cognitive load led to risky LE mechanics or a direct increase in non-contact LE injury risk.

Conclusion

The robustness of results across gender, performance level, sport, cognitive ability, task cognitive load suggest that the inclusion of cognitive training in the design of optimal LE injury prevention programs warrants further study.

THE INFLUENCE OF AN INTERACTIVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION COMPLEX IN THE REHABILITATION OF CHILDREN WITH MENTAL RETARDATION
Authors: I.L. Kolupaeva , I.S. Kalikh
Published: October 2024

An urgent issue today is the increase in the number of children with mental retardation. Statistics from the last five years show that more than 20% of children are born with lesions of the central nervous system. Perinatal pathology leads to a delay in mental and motor development and subsequently contributes to the risk of children's academic failure, maladjustment and social deviation. For a comprehensive solution to the problem, rehabilitation methods should be correctly selected, aimed at improving mental functions, developing physical qualities and forming motor skills. The purpose of the study is to study the effectiveness of an interactive physical education complex in the rehabilitation of children with mental retardation. The results obtained made it possible to identify the effectiveness of the use of a non–drug rehabilitation method - an interactive physical education complex for the development of cognitive functions and physical qualities of primary school children with mental retardation. To identify the level of logical thinking, the "Exclusion of excess" method was used, dexterity of movements was assessed by the "Darts" test, communicative activity was identified using a questionnaire for parents using the Makarchuk A.V., Gorinova E.V. method, large hand motor skills were assessed by a functional motor test, fine hand motor skills were assessed by the Grizik T.I., Tymoshchuk L.F. method. In the study of logical thinking in children after the rehabilitation course, an increase in the average values of the indicator was revealed in the main group, there were no changes in the control group. The results of the dexterity assessment test showed that after rehabilitation, the average values of the indicator increased only in the main group where the interactive complex was used. When evaluating communicative activity, it was revealed that when comparing groups, no changes were found in the average values of the indicator, however, the level of social interaction in the main group moved from "average" to "high" on a point scale, in the control group the level remained the same. When evaluating large hand motor skills, it was revealed that after rehabilitation in the main group, in which an interactive physical education complex was used, the average values of the indicator increased and began to correspond to the assessment "good", in the control group the indicator did not change – the assessment "satisfactory". In the study of fine motor skills, an increase in the average values in the main group was revealed: from the level of "poor development" to the level of "insufficiently good development", there were no changes in the control group. Thus, the interactive physical education complex increases the indicators of logical thinking, dexterity of movements, large and small hand motor skills and improves the level of communicative activity.

Authors: A.L. Buzmakova , M.M. Shelygina , M.S. Shelygin , V.V. Vasilieva
Published: October 2024

Purpose: To determine the priorities of contraceptive choices of medical students depending on various factors. Materials and methods: 75 female students of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov participated in the study; mean age was 20,5 years, 77% were sexually active. Information was collected using a specially designed questionnaire that included questions about the characteristics of sexual life (duration, number of partners, frequency of partner changes, regularity of sex), methods of contraception and the reasons for their choice, diagnosis and prevention of STIs, the effect of contraception on the menstrual cycle and its characteristics, and sexual life. Pearson criterion at p≤0.05 was applied in data analysis. Female Sexuality Index (FSI) was assessed using The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire.
Results: the predominant method of contraception choice among the respondents depending on sexual experience was the barrier method. With increasing sexual experience, the proportion of girls using interrupted intercourse increased and the proportion using hormonal contraception decreased. The predominant contraceptive method among girls who rarely change sexual partners was the condom, while girls with frequent changes in sexual partners preferred to use the standard day method. The reasons for choosing a contraceptive method were the fear of unwanted pregnancy, simplicity and ease of use of the method, and the lack of impact on sexual pleasure. The vast majority of all respondents were primarily afraid of HIV infection, syphilis, and the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Girls using hormonal contraception were primarily guided by a doctor's prescription when choosing a method. The majority in this group had a positive effect of the method on the menstrual cycle and a decrease in pain in the mammary glands was observed with the start of contraception. The maximum index of female sexuality was found in the groups of girls using spermicides and the standard days method, and the lowest - in female students not using contraception.
Conclusion: barrier and natural methods of contraception were the priority of choice for most of the respondents.

Authors: Sampaio Vilas Bôas Araújo Valéria Maria , Assunção Bião Almeida Leonardo , Mauricio da Silva Fernanda
Published: October 2024

En este texto analizamos cómo se articulan los discursos sobre el futuro de la televisión, tomando como foco la discusión sobre la interactividad en la televisión brasileña en las últimas dos décadas. Esta perspectiva surge de una investigación exploratoria en la que identificamos que en Brasil, en la década de 2000, la digitalización de la televisión aparecía como impulsora de las discusiones sobre el futuro del medio, y la interactividad como principal característica asociada al futuro de la televisión y elemento articulador de su historicidad. En este sentido, argumentamos que la interactividad se convierte en un valor en la disputa entre lo analógico y lo digital. En nuestro abordaje metodológico, observamos cómo se articulan los discursos sobre este futuro a partir de las declaraciones de los productores que integran la serie de videos «Sonhar TV»; la bibliografía sobre el medio; las prácticas discursivas de la crítica televisiva; y las estrategias presentes en el programa «Sterblitch não tem um talk show: o talk show». Resultado de la adaptación de un espectáculo teatral y fuertemente articulado con las prácticas de las redes sociales, la cultura del meme y la viralización, el programa actualiza las perspectivas sobre la interactividad, la creatividad y la hibridación, ofreciendo una visión ambigua de la televisión y su futuro imaginado.

Published: October 2024

Lingcong and Endam introduced the idea of the direct product of a finite family of B-algebras. In this paper, we introduce the concept of the direct product of an infinite family of JU-algebras, which we call the external direct product. This is a general concept of the direct product in the sense of Lingcong and Endam. The result is based on different types of subsets of JU-algebras. These include JU-subalgebras, JU-ideals, p-ideals, t-ideals, strong JU-ideals, JU-filters, comparative JU-filters, and implicative JU-filters. Also, we introduce the concept of the weak direct product of JU-algebras. Finally, we provide several fundamental theorems of (anti-)JU-homomorphisms in view of the external direct product JU-algebras.
Uma experiência poética entre a regueifa da Galiza e o repente nordestino
Authors: Gomes Robson Teles , Rodrigues Shirley Izabela de Lima
Published: October 2024

A regueifa remonta a tempos ancestrais, sendo uma prática que compartilha histórias e emoções de maneira espontânea e criativa. O repente, por sua vez, resulta de uma fusão de influências culturais ibéricas, indígenas e africanas, caracterizando-se pela improvisação e pela competição entre os cantadores. Essas tradições compartilham semelhanças, como a exploração de temas cotidianos e a preservação da riqueza cultural. Ambas fortalecem a identidade das comunidades e servem como plataformas para a expressão de valores e para o debate de questões sociais e políticas. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a interação entre essas tradições poéticas, destacando suas influências e relevâncias culturais. A metodologia adotada baseia-se em uma análise comparativa dos elementos poéticos e culturais, fundamentada em observações e experiências diretas no contexto escolar e comunitário. Projetos de intercâmbio cultural e linguístico, como o BRALIZA, exemplificam a capacidade dessas tradições de promover a compreensão e o respeito entre diferentes culturas. Assim, ao celebrar a regueifa e o repente, celebra-se não apenas a riqueza cultural que elas representam, mas também a vitalidade das comunidades que as mantêm vivas.
Apps and EFL: A case study on the use of smartphone apps to learn English by four Japanese university students
Authors: Mindog Emily
Published: October 2024

This study explores, describes and analyzes the utilization of smartphone apps by four Japanese university students to support learning English as a Foreign Language (efl). Findings indicate that intermediate language learners use apps to access content and communicate on sns and are not keen on studying discrete language parts. Participants believe that using apps helped them with their four language skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing), grammar, vocabulary and spelling. Use of apps (location, frequency and duration) seems to be determined by opportunity, personal preference and desire to use.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FERROPTOSE INDUCTORS (REVIEW)
Authors: Nikolaev A. , Ushakova M.
Published: October 2024

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death. In 2012, the anti-cancer activity of erastin was shown, based on the induc-tion of a new type of cell death, which is prevented by iron chelators and lipophilic antioxidants. The term "ferroptosis" has been proposed to character-ize this iron-dependent, non-apoptotic form of cell death. The purpose of this work is to evaluate and classify the range of compounds capable of in-ducing ferroptosis in various cell types. Glutathione (GSH), a common intracellular antioxidant, is required for the activity of various antioxidant enzymes (eg, GPX4). Erastine inhibits the uptake of cystine by the cystine/glutamate antiporter, creating a defect in the cell's antioxidant defenses and leading to iron-dependent oxidative death. GPX4 is a selenium-containing enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of organic hydroperoxides and lipid peroxides by reduced glutathione. The study re-vealed two promising compounds, named RSL3 and RSL5 by the authors. Tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) is such a lipid peroxide analog and is widely regarded as a lipid peroxidation stimulant. Exposure to t-BuOOH resulted in a ferrostatin-1 and liprostatin-1 sensitive increase in lipid peroxidation. An excess of non-heme iron (Fe2+ and Fe3+) causes ferroptosis. Live/dead cell viability analysis showed that Fe(III)-citrate, erastin and RSL3 induce cell death. Co-treatment with ferrostatin-1, an inhibitor of ferroptosis, inhibited cell death. Other materials can cause ferroptosis by inducing lipid peroxidation. Mitochondrial DNA damaging drugs such as zalcitabine induce autophagy-dependent ferroptosis in human pancreatic cancer cells. The implementation of the model of cell death in the form of ferroptosis is highly dependent on the state of cellular metabolism and degradation systems, such as autophagy, which form a complex network for the formation of oxidative stress. Pharmacological induction of ferroptosis is a promising direction in cancer chemotherapy.

Published: October 2024

Liver and gallbladder diseases are among the most common in the world today. Liver disorders occupy one of the most important places in the pic-ture of general human pathology, having a fairly high risk of developing adverse complications. Preparations and biologically active additives based on Artemisia absinthium and the components extracted from it have recently become very popular. The group of sesquiterpene lactones is of the greatest interest to researchers. The object of this review article is to analyze domestic and foreign publications showing the pharmacological activity and pro-spects of using absinthin, which is part of the group of sesquiterpene lactones of A. absinthium, as a hepatoprotector. An analysis of the literature re-vealed that absinthin has an antitoxic effect, reduces lipid peroxidation in liver tissues and restores the activity of protective antioxidant enzymes su-peroxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) to a normal level. The generalization of literature data showing the pharmacological effect of the substance indicates the ability of absinthin to reduce the level of toxic effects of fatty acids and cholesterol on hepatocytes. It was also revealed that absinthin is able to have an antiproliferative effect on human adenocarcinoma cells. The positive effect observed when using absinthin character-izes the prospects of its practical application as a drug or biologically active additive with hepatoprotective and antitumor effect.

THE INFLUENCE OF AEROPONICS ON THE ADAPTATION OF MENTHA PIPERITA L. AND MELISSA OFFICINALIS L. MICROCLONES AND ACCUMULATION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS
Authors: Gushchin A . , Kirakosyan R. , Cherednichenko M. , Kalashnikova E.
Published: October 2024

Relevance. One of the time-consuming stages on which the success of clonal micropropagation depends is the transfer of microclones from in vitro conditions to ex vitro conditions. At this stage, plants experience stress, which leads to their death. In addition, the low survival rate of plants to ex vitro conditions is primarily due to their poorly developed root system, non-functional stomatal apparatus, poorly formed cuticle, as well as the use of non-sterile soil. The effectiveness of clonal micropropagation depends on the choice of the nutrient substrate and the technology of adaptation of mi-croclones to ex vitro conditions. Hydroponic and aeroponic technologies are designed to increase the productivity and economic efficiency of clonal micro-propagation of plants, by reducing the time of cultivation of cloned plants. Purpose of the study. The aim of the study was to study the effect of aeroponics on the growth and accumulation of phenolic compounds in the microclones of medicinal plants Mentha piperita L. and Melissa officinalis L. Material and methods. The object of the study was the microclones Mentha piperita L. and Melissa officinalis L., which were originally propagated on a hormone-free nutrient medium containing mineral salts according to Murashige and Skооg (MS). Microclones were adapted to ex vitro conditions in two ways: on an aeroponic installation and directly in the soil. Adaptation was carried out on two groups of plants: 1 – with roots, 2 – without roots (the root system was removed with a scalpel before planting on an aeroponic installation or in the soil). The results were taken into account at the end of the adaptation cycle, while taking into account the length of the root system (cm) and the height of plants (cm). Based on the results obtained, the growth index (I) and the specific growth rate (µ) were calculated, and the total content of phenolic compounds and flavonoids was determined. Results. It is established that at the last stage of clonal micropropagation, it is advisable to use aeroponic installations that allow rooting and adapta-tion of microclones simultaneously. The developed method makes it possible to obtain high-quality planting material, since this reduces the percent-age of plant death, increases the growth and development of green biomass, as well as the root system. The rooting of micro-shoots during adapta-tion is achieved by including in the composition of the nutrient solution of IBА at a concentration of 0.5 mg / l. In addition, under these conditions, there is a change in phenolic metabolism, which manifests itself in an increase in the total content of phenolic compounds in microclones.

El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la humedad, los °Brix, la acidez titulable, el pH, el contenido en ácido ascórbico, el color, así como el contenido en polifenoles totales y la capacidad antioxidante de tres variedades de guayaba (Blanca, China y Fresa), adquiridas en el año 2022 con productores de la localidad de Santiago el Chique, Zacatecas. Los análisis se realizaron en el laboratorio de Investigación e inocuidad de alimentos, del programa de académico de nutrición de la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en prácticamente todos los parámetros analizados, salvo en el caso del porcentaje de humedad. Se destacó la alta concentración de ácido ascórbico en la guayaba ‘Fresa’ frente a las demás variedades.

O presente trabalho apresenta a avaliação de uma metodologia alternativa para determinação do comportamento laterítico ou não laterítico dos solos tropicais de graduação graúda e para avaliação do grau de nocividade da fração argila destes solos. Inicialmente, três amostras foram analisadas de acordo com os critérios normativos. Em seguida foi utilizada uma metodologia alternativa, baseada no ensaio de adsorção de azul de metileno, para avaliar o grau de nocividade da fração argila, e na classificação MCT, para determinar o caráter laterítico ou não laterítico da fração do solo que passa na peneira nº 10 (2,0 mm). Os resultados mostraram que o ensaio de equivalente de areia não é apropriado para avaliar o grau de nocividade da fração argila dos solos tropicais estudados e que o ensaio de adsorção de azul de metileno é mais adequado para esse fim. A classificação MCT se mostrou eficiente na determinação do caráter laterítico ou não da fração fina dos solos tropicais de graduação graúda. As amostras com comportamento laterítico apresentaram bom desempenho mecânico avaliado por meio do ensaio de ISC, enquanto a amostra com comportamento não laterítico exibiu um baixo desempenho mecânico.

Avaliações de deflexões por ensaios não destrutivos já fazem parte da rotina do mercado de infraestrutura em termos de avaliação estrutural de pavimentos. Este tipo de ensaio se iniciou na década de 1950, com o emprego da viga Benkelman e teve evolução importante na década de 1980 com o advento dos equipamentos do tipo Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). Todavia, em todos estes casos, a sistemática de ensaio e baixa produtividade desses equipamentos exigem a interdição de faixa para a caracterização da deflexão do pavimento, com interferência direta com os usuários. A mudança deste paradigma ocorre agora com a possibilidade de emprego de um Traffic Speed Deflectometer Device (TSDd), um equipamento que permite caracterizar a resposta estrutural de um pavimento de forma contínua e em velocidade de tráfego. O presente estudo buscou avaliar a repetibilidade dos resultados obtidos com o equipamento TSDd Falkorr® em relação aos requisitos mínimos da norma NORMA DNIT 440/2023 – PRO para avaliação estrutural contínua de pavimentos utilizando um equipamento móvel. Os resultados em termos de deflexão sob a carga (R² médio de 0,981) e em termos de índice de curvatura (R² médio de 0,983), demonstraram atendimento pleno à norma. Sendo assim, conclui-se que o Falkorr apresentou condições satisfatórias de repetibilidade interna do sistema para ambos os parâmetros (deflexão máxima e índice de curvatura modelados) e em concordância com a norma do DNIT, consistindo numa inovação que traz avanços não apenas técnicos mas também em relação a segurança viária na metodologia de avaliação de pavimentos.

Verifica-se, atualmente, esforços governamentais contínuos que visam a adoção de métodos mecanístico para o dimensionamento de pavimentos, destacando a necessidade crucial de padronizar componentes e métodos associados aos ensaios de laboratório. Especificamente, no que se refere ao ensaio de Módulo Resiliente (MR) de solos e britas, existe uma considerável variedade de equipamentos, entre eles modelos nacionais e importados que, eventualmente, podem ter diferentes atualizações. Dessa forma, torna-se fundamental identificar divergências entre os resultados obtidos em diferentes equipamentos, utilizando como referência as exigências estipuladas nas normas técnicas. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo visa observar o comportamento resiliente do nylon 6.0, um material com propriedades e características mecânicas estabelecidas. Para tanto, foram conduzidos ensaios de acordo com as diretrizes estabelecidas pelo DNIT 134/2018-ME, com o objetivo de determinar, por meio de parâmetros estatísticos, os resultados que melhor representam o comportamento do nylon em dois equipamentos distintos, denominados neste estudo de A e B. Tendo em vista os deslocamentos (LVDT's) e os diferentes métodos empregados para aplicação de tensão, ratifica-se a importância da implementação de um método de calibração de equipamentos triaxiais, afim de aumentar a confiabilidade dos resultados. O estudo contribui significativamente para o avanço na padronização e na precisão dos ensaios de módulo resiliente de solos e britas, fornecendo informações importantes para a melhoria contínua dos métodos de projeto de pavimentos.

Após quase 60 anos de utilização do método empírico que utiliza o ensaio estático, para obtenção do Índice de Suporte Califórnia (ISC) ou California Bearing Ratio (CBR) para dimensionamento de pavimentos asfálticos, a infraestrutura rodoviária brasileira está vivenciando um momento histórico. Nesse sentido, o Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes (DNIT) formalizou em 2020 o Método de Dimensionamento Nacional (MeDiNa), um método mecanístico-empírico baseado, majoritariamente, em parâmetros de resistência e deformabilidade dos materiais obtidos por meio de ensaios dinâmicos. Sabe-se que, a realização desses ensaios ainda não é um procedimento comum em diversas regiões do país devido ao seu custo elevado, bem como dos equipamentos utilizados. Entretanto, a caracterização mecânica dos materiais é de grande importância no contexto do dimensionamento mecanístico-empírico e no processo de calibração do novo método. Desse modo, o presente estudo teve por objetivo a caracterização dos solos, materiais granulares e material estabilizado quimicamente, coletados em um segmento experimental PRO-MeDiNa na BR-420/BA, por meio da realização de ensaios laboratoriais de caracterização como, por exemplo, granulometria, limites de consistência e massa específica dos grãos, além dos ensaios dinâmicos de Módulo de Resiliência e Deformação Permanente, a fim de obter os parâmetros necessários para a utilização do novo método. Os resultados revelaram materiais geotécnicos com bom comportamento mecânico e ratificaram a importância da realização dos ensaios de caracterização e mecânicos no dimensionamento de pavimentos, por meio do MeDiNa.

O trincamento por fadiga é um dos defeitos mais comuns em pavimentos asfálticos de comportamento flexível e torna-se ainda mais relevante com o aumento do volume de veículos. Além disso, a avaliação desse tipo de fenômeno, em laboratório, exige a realização de ensaios em equipamentos sofisticados e de elevado custo, dificultando o acesso a esse tipo de investigação em obras de menor nível de tráfego e em regiões isoladas. Nesse cenário, surge o ensaio Ideal Cracking Test (IDEAL-CT) como uma alternativa simples, rápida, eficiente e de baixo custo. Com o surgimento de uma nova opção para avaliação do comportamento de misturas asfálticas à fadiga, é necessária a sua validação para a possível implementação no contexto brasileiro. Desse modo, este artigo apresenta os resultados da primeira fase de um trabalho mais amplo de validação, caracterizado pelas seguintes etapas experimentais: i. Dosagem das misturas e ensaios de IDEAL-CT; ii. Realização dos ensaios de fadiga diametral; iii. Realização dos ensaios de fadiga em vigotas e; iv. Avaliação do trincamento por fadiga em campo. O objetivo da primeira etapa, apresentada nesse trabalho, foi a dosagem das misturas asfálticas e análise dos resultados de IDEAL-CT em função do tipo e do teor de asfalto. Nesse artigo, são apresentados os resultados da primeira etapa. A utilização do ensaio IDEAL-CT mostrou-se promissora para a categorização de misturas quanto ao seu potencial de trincamento. Mesmo com uma variação alta, as tendências esperadas em relação ao teor e ao tipo de ligante confirmaram-se. A sensibilidade dos resultados à composição da mistura, aliada à simplicidade, praticidade, eficiência e baixo custo dos equipamentos utilizados, sugerem o IDEAL-CT como um teste promissor para categorização da resistência ao trincamento de misturas asfálticas densas.
