Published: March 2022

This study aims to examine the influence of religiosity and emotional intelligence on resilience of tsunami survivors in the Selat Sunda that occurred on December 22, 2018. This study used a quantitative correlational approach. Using accidental sampling technique, the participants were 62 tsunami survivors of Selat Sunda in Pandeglang, age ranged between 20-65 years, lost their homes, livelihoods, death of family/relatives or experienced physical illness/disability. This study used 3 instruments, including: The Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS), Goleman emotional intelligence measuring instrument, and Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The results showed that religiosity and emotional intelligence had a simultaneous effect on resilience with a percentage of 17. Partially, religiosity had no significant effect on resilience to tsunami survivors in the Selat Sunda in Pandeglang.

Published: March 2022

The article presents the application of a statistical analysis algorithm for multi-temporal multispectral aerial photography data to identify areas of historical anthropogenic impact on the natural environment. The investigated site is located on the outskirts of the urban-type village of Znamenka (Znamensky District, Tambov Region) in a forest-steppe zone with typical chernozem soils, where arable lands were located in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. Grown vegetation as a result of secondary succession in abandoned areas can be a sign for identifying traces of historical anthropogenic impact. Distinctive signs of such vegetation from the surrounding natural environment are its type, age and growth density. Thus, the problem of detecting the boundaries of anthropogenic impact on multispectral images is reduced to the problem of vegetation classification. The initial data were the results of multi-temporal multispectral imaging in green (Green), red (Red), edge of red (RedEdge) and near-infrared (NIR) spectral ranges. The first stage of the algorithm is the calculation of the Haralick texture features on multispectral images, the second stage – reduction in the number of features by the principal component analysis, the third stage – the segmentation of images based on the obtained features by the k-means method. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown by comparing the segmentation results with the reference data of historical cartographic materials. The study of multi-temporal multispectral images makes it possible to more fully characterize and take into account the dynamics of phytomass growth in different periods of the growing season. Therefore, the obtained segmentation result reflects not only the configuration of areas of an anthropogenic transformed natural environment, but also the features of overgrowth of abandoned arable land.

Quinoa is a promising crop due to its use in the food industry for the development of functional products. But there arevery few recommendations in the world literature and almost no practical experience in the storage and processing of quinoa seeds.The study of quinoa and its properties in Western countries, as well as the development of modern methods of organic production inSouth America have led to the fact that quinoa is rapidly gaining popularity as a healthy and healthy product rich in vitamins andminerals and gluten-free. This has caused a boom in production and exports in Latin America, which continues to this day.In Ukraine, quinoa has gained popularity in recent years, many Ukrainian cereal producers now include quinoa in theirrange. But so far, raw materials have been purchased abroad, primarily in Latin America.Grain quality is a set of properties and characteristics (organoleptic, biological, physicochemical, technological, consumer)that determine the suitability of grain for its intended use. The main indicators of quinoa grain quality of different types: white,red and black are determined in the work. The quality of the studied samples was determined by organoleptic, chemical and microbiologicalindicators.The results of the sensory analysis confirm the high results and the display of the grain of the cinoa by species.The acidity of the grain of kinoa is determined, and it is set according to the indicators of acidity, until the acidity of thegrain of kinoa is brought to good grain.The results of microbiological studies show that the highest content of bacteria was found in samples of red quinoa seeds.The analysis of the obtained results showed that the predominant component of the bacterial microflora of quinoa grain is the nonspore-forming bacillus Erwinia herbicola. Molds of the genus Aspergillus and Muccor were found in samples of white quinoa seeds,fungi of the genus Penicillium in samples of red quinoa seeds, and no molds were found in samples of red quinoa seeds. Microbiologicalstudy showed that all samples were free of both pathogenic and opportunistic pathogens.Organoleptic, chemical and microbiological indicators confirm the satisfactory quality of the studied quinoa grain samples

Preservation of initially high quality of the pastry based on the natural ingredients throughout their shelf-life is amajor factor to ensure their competitiveness. One of the effective ways of solving this task is using the types of wheatflour with specific characteristics. Differential approach to the technological characteristics of flour, depending onbaked goods types, makes it possible to ensure the stability of the technological process and the quality of the producedproducts without usage of inorganic improvers. Among the types of wheat flour with specific characteristics the flour ofwaxy wheat, the starch of which does not contain amylose, which plays an important role in the stealing of flour products,is to particular interest. The studies found that waxy wheat flour characterised with higher gassing power andwater absorption compare with control. According to their technological characteristics it is suggested to use wheatflours with specific characteristics in the technology of yeast-containg cakes, hardtacks with lower sugar capacity.Flour of extra-soft wheat Oksana is characterized by low water absorption and weak gluten, which are desirable technologicalproperties for the production of most types of confectionery dough. It was found that waffles and wafers basedon extra-soft wheat Oksana flour are characterized with lower density and better porosity and texture compared withthe control. It is shown that the use of waxy wheat flour and biscuit wheat flour in the technology of mentioned pastrytypes leads to the technological process intensification, stabilization of their rheological characteristics, product qualityand their freshness without adding of improvers.

Published: March 2022

The purpose of hydrothermal processing of grain is to change its initial technological properties in the direction ofstabilization and maintaining them at the optimal level for the further process of processing it into the final product - flour or cereals.The use of devices of continuous action allows the steaming process to become more efficient, while hydrothermal treatmentoccupies a special place in the technology of processing cereals, obtaining them high consumer properties. The analysis of designs ofdevices of continuous action, shows that the most widespread have devices of horizontal type where the main working body of thesteamer has functions of transportation and hashing. This design allows to achieve uniformity of steaming during processing of theproduct. To achieve a flexible change in the exposure of steaming, it is proposed to introduce a two-stage variator in the drive of theworking body, which will significantly change the steaming time and use the apparatus for steaming more different crops, and toensure a constant set steam pressure the design of which allows to carry out these operations without pressure losses. In the two-stageversion of the variator, the rotation from its drive shaft by means of a V-belt is transmitted to the intermediate shaft, and from it bymeans of an additional V-belt to the main working shaft. The gear ratio is adjusted by turning the glasses and their synchronous shiftin the axial direction.At the same time there is a simultaneous movement of movable conical disks, transfer of a V-belt and anadditional V-belt to other diameters. We use sluice gates with a flat sealing surface and a fluoroplastic gasket to supply grain to theworking chamber under pressure and unload it. This design allows the most effective sealing of the working chamber under pressureand to maintain the working pressure within the specified limits, with continuous loading and unloading of the device. Thecalculations show the feasibility and efficiency of modernization of the steamer by ensuring the tightness of the unloader and theuniformity of the speed of the product processed in the working chamber by using a two-stage gearbox or drive motor with afrequency converter.

ABSTRACT Professor Sérgio Mascarenhas was a Brazilian researcher with a vast legacy. His work paved the way for new research possibilities by consolidating the use of innovation and transdisciplinary science. In Medicine, he proposed changes to what had previously been well-accepted concepts, and his contributions have influenced medical practices. Although many authors consider intracranial pressure (ICP) as an unrivaled variable for monitoring and diagnosis of many diseases, its clinical applicability is still the subject of debate in the literature because of the difficulty in standardizing protocols. Mascarenhas's research and the creation of a device for noninvasive monitoring of intracranial compliance are discussed and are shown to have led to the creation of Brain4care, a start-up, and a new perspective on the debate on ICP monitoring.

Published: March 2022

Objetivou-se identificar os fatores de longitudinalidade do cuidado associados à adesão das mulheres à consulta puerperal no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com dados secundários de 19.177 puérperas que participaram da avaliação externa do terceiro ciclo do Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB), de 2017. A variável dependente foi a realização de consulta puerperal e as variáveis independentes, agrupadas em níveis de maneira hierarquizada, foram as sociodemográficas e econômicas, como nível distal; e questões análogas à longitudinalidade do cuidado, como o nível proximal. Realizou-se análise de regressão logística múltipla, com entrada hierarquizada das variáveis, sendo as variáveis sociodemográficas e econômicas utilizadas para ajuste do modelo. Os resultados mostraram que a proporção de mulheres que realizaram consulta puerperal foi de 53%. Mulheres que receberam visita domiciliar do agente comunitário de saúde (ACS) na primeira semana após o parto (OR = 4,81), com sete ou mais consultas de pré-natal (OR = 2,74), que procuraram atendimento na unidade de saúde em questão (OR = 1,21) e atendidas pelo mesmo(a) médico(a) (OR = 1,14) têm mais chance de aderir à consulta puerperal. Conclui-se que a proporção de realização da consulta puerperal é baixa (53%), e que a adesão das mulheres à consulta puerperal é maior quando recebem visita do ACS, são acompanhadas pelo(a) mesmo(a) médico(a), têm acompanhamento pré-natal e têm uma unidade de saúde como fonte regular de cuidado. A longitudinalidade do cuidado foi identificada como um atributo da atenção primária que deve ser fortalecido para aprimorar a atenção pós-parto.

ABSTRACT: The present study investigated the chemical profiles and evaluated the inhibitory effect against 5-Lipoxygenase (5-Lox) activity for extracts of ginger rhizome, callus, and callus treated with the elicitors; yeast extract (100, 300 and 500 mg/L), glycine (100, 200 and 300 mg/L) and salicylic acid (100 and 200 mg/L). Oils and chloroform: methanol (CM) extracts were prepared by maceration in petroleum ether and CM (1:1, v/v), respectively. Chemical profiles were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. Oil of the callus recorded higher 5-Lox inhibitory effect (IC50 58.33±4.66 μg/mL) than the oil of rhizome (IC50168.34±15.64 μg/mL) and comparable to that of the positive control; Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (IC50 61.25±1.02 μg/mL). The chemical profile of the callus oil contained large amounts of fatty acids, mainly the unsaturated fatty acid oleic acid (31.11%) and saturated fatty acid palmitic acid (28.56%). Elicitors modified the chemical profile of the callus and ameliorated the anti-5-Lox activity of CM extract of the callus. CM extracts of callus treated with 100 and 300 mg/L yeast extract and 50 mg/L salicylic acid significantly suppressed (P ≤ 0.05) the 5-Lox activity by 33.16%, 25.46% and 16%, respectively as compared to the CM extract of untreated callus. In conclusion, ginger callus could be considered as a valuable dietary supplement in the treatment of various inflammatory disorders.

ABSTRACT: The plants physiological processes such as transpiration and photosynthetic efficiency are directly related to leaf area, which is difficult to quantify in a nondestructive manner. To generate a model to estimate the total leaf area of plants of banana cv. Vitória, simple and multiple linear regressions utilizing the length and width of the third leaf, the product of length and width of the third leaf, and the total number of leaves of ‘Vitória’ plants, were tested. The data to develop the model were obtained from ‘Vitória’ banana plants from different edafoclimatic conditions and management. The best performance of the model was obtained using stepwise multiple regression with r2=0.93 and r2= 0.94. Validation of the model resulted in an r2 of 0.74.

Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: Nutrients accumulation in plants/fruits varies according to the crop development stage and its quantification is important to determine nutrients exportation for fertilization planning and nutrient balancing. This study determined the accumulation of nutrients in different parts of Piper nigrum ‘Bragantina’ spikes harvested at two ripening stages (still-green and red-colored spikes). Assessments in separate parts of still-green spikes (fruits and peduncles) as well as in red-colored spikes (grains, flesh and peduncles) were performed. Piper nigrum spikes were harvested, dried, and the parts were thereafter separated for chemical analysis. N and Mn were the macro and micronutrient most accumulated in the fruits of still-green spikes and in the grains of red-colored spikes, while K and B were most accumulated in the other parts of black pepper assessed, regardless of the ripening stage. The process of removing the flesh from the fruits for white pepper production led to a difference in nutrient concentration and accumulation between the fruits of still-green spikes and the grains of red-colored spikes. A significant contribution of nutrient input can be achieved by maintained flesh and peduncles in the crop area, decreasing the dependence of external fertilizers and thus contributing to a more sustainable agriculture.

ABSTRACT: Nosemosis is an important bee disease that is caused by microsporidia fungi of the Nosema genus, whose main etiological agents are Nosema apis and N. ceranae, both of which are found worldwide. In Brazil, the disease has been reported in several states but little is known about its occurrence and distribution in Bahia. This study identified the occurrence and distribution of nosemosis and its agents, N. apis and N. ceranae, in Apis mellifera L. bees collected from apiaries in the state of Bahia, Brazil. A total of 154 bee samples were collected and analyzed from 20 apiaries in six regions of the state. The hives sampled were evaluated for signs of the disease from December 2015 to July 2018. Molecular diagnosis was made using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). No signs of nosemosis were observed in the sampled apiaries, but from 154 samples analyzed via PCR, 96 were infected with N. ceranae. This pathogen was reported in samples from all six regions evaluated, and its occurrence in important apiculture regions of Bahia State is discussed in this study.

RESUMEN Uno de los propósitos para los cuales fueron creados los Seminários Nacionais de Formação de Educadores de Jovens e Adultos [Seminarios Nacionales de Formación de Educadores de Jóvenes y Adultos] (SNFEJA) desarrollados en Brasil en el período comprendido del 2006 al 2015, fue el análisis de las políticas en torno a la formación de educadores de la Educación de Jóvenes y Adultos (EJA). Sin embargo, a pesar de los avances reconocidos, aún existen carencias teórico-prácticas que promuevan la concreción de estas, encaminadas a tales fines. Por lo que el objetivo del presente artículo es analizar algunas contribuciones presentadas en los SNFEJA, en particular de los tres primeros, que tributan a crear las bases necesarias para la configuración de políticas educativas en función de la formación del educador de la EJA. El artículo que se presenta, es resultado parcial de una investigación más abarcadora encaminada a la conformación de la historia de estos seminarios. Para ello se revisaron algunas fuentes bibliográficas que fundamentan y abordan la temática, esencialmente los textos compilados de los tres primeros seminarios y entrevistas realizadas a coordinadores de estos. Los resultados, reconocen los aportes en las diferentes contribuciones analizadas, se considera un tema atendido de manera dispersa y poco sistematizada y advierten que el panorama cualitativo y cuantitativo aún es desafiador, por tanto, es latente la necesidad de continuar defendiendo la temática en esta dirección.

Abstract Anticarsia gemmatalis Hünber, 1818 is one of the main defoliating species in the soybean crop. Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner, 1915, is a bacterium used in the biological control of this pest species. Resistant populations and their sublethal effects caused by the use of the bacteria have already been reported; however, there are no studies on phenotypic plasticity in adulthood exposed to Bt-based bioinsecticide sub-doses. This study aimed to evaluate the morphometry of A. gemmatalis adults under laboratory conditions submitted to the Bt-based bioinsecticide Dipel® over the three generations. The body segments mensuread were width, length, and area of the anterior and posterior wings, the weight of the integument, chest, abdomen, wings, and the whole adult of males and females. Among the treatments, LC5 in the first generation and LC10 in the second generation were those with lower thresholds in relation to the weight of the chest and abdomen, considering the proportions of the body smaller than the females. The female’s weight adulthood was reduced by 10% about males, and, only in the first generation. Males have larger body size and more pronounced phenotypic plasticity than females. Here, we demonstrate the first study assessing the phenotypic plasticity of A. gemmatalis adults.

Abstract In order to ensure the timely and uninterrupted supply of medicinal plant raw materials, the methods of cultivation of plant cell cultures, namely, the production of plant root cultures, are relevant. In this paper, the geroprotective potential of Hedysarum neglectum Ledeb and Panax ginseng C. A. Mey root cultures is studied. They were cultured under in vitro conditions by transforming the rhizome (H. neglectum) and seed seedlings (P. ginseng) with Agrobacterium rhizogenes 15834 Swiss. To identify the geroprotective potential, the antimicrobial disc-diffusion method and the antioxidant activity were analyzed by titration of KMnO4 extracts of plant root cultures. The qualitative and quantitative composition was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. In the course of the work, the presence of antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of plant root culture extracts was established. Biologically active substances contained in extracts of Hedysarum neglectum Ledeb root crops and Panax ginseng C. A. Mey are characterized by geroprotective potential, so they can act as a source of natural antioxidants in the functional nutrition of the geroprotective orientation.

Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: It is reported the occurrence of enzootic hematuria (EH) in buffaloes in Brazil after performing an epidemiological survey and clinicopathological analises. To date, EH caused by ingestion of Pteridium esculentum subsp. arachnoideum, a radiomimetic plant popularly known as “bracken fern”, has not been described in this species in Brazil. Bovine EH is responsible for high economic losses in Brazil’s Southeast Region not only because of the deaths it causes, but also owing to its negative effect on productivity. In São José do Barreiro County, São Paulo, some farmers in areas with a high incidence of bovine EH have been replacing cattle with buffaloes, based on the premise that the latter would be more resistant to poisoning by ingestion of Pteridium spp. However, even though initial observations indicated that buffaloes are indeed less sensitive than cattle to the toxic principle of Pteridium spp., cases of hematuria in this species have been reported. According to preliminary date, EH only occurs in buffaloes over six years of age. Macroscopic examination revealed a thickened urinary vesicle mucosa, along with multiple foci of ulcerated, exophytic, verrucous, and pedunculated lesions. In one of the buffaloes studied, the bladder wall was ruptured and exhibited marked secondary inflammation. Histologically, neoplastic and non-neoplastic changes similar to those described in cattle poisoned by Pteridium spp. were observed. The neoplasms found included papilloma, carcinoma in situ, urothelial carcinoma (low and high grade), inverted, microcystic, and trabecular variants, urothelial carcinoma with divergent differentiation (squamous and glandular), squamous cell carcinoma, lymphangioma, hemangioma, and hemangiosarcoma. There was also coexistence of epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasms. Bovine papillomavirus particles were not detected by polymerase chain reaction in the bladder samples analyzed.

Published: March 2022

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar experiências de reforma agrária relacionadas a regimes agroalimentares da agricultura familiar no contexto do desenvolvimento rural dos territórios do Rio Grande do Norte, nos períodos dos I e II Planos Nacionais de Reforma Agrária (PNRA). A metodologia consistiu em uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, analisando informações quantizadas das ações de ATER (Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural), inicialmente na lógica neoliberal de mercado dos anos 1990, e, depois, nos anos 2000, devido à emergência de regimes alimentares mais diversificados para cada território. Como técnicas, predominaram a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, e a pesquisa de campo através de entrevistas com gestores públicos e privados, e agricultores familiares das experiências estudadas. Os resultados revelaram que as experiências de reforma agrária têm importância, especialmente, com os novos regimes alimentares mais diversificados, porém, apresentaram dificuldades devido às descontinuidades das ações de ATER. No entanto, os resultados mais marcantes da pesquisa referem-se às experiências de integração ao mercado, particulamente, na construção de dinâmicas de desenvolvimento rural nos territórios do Rio Grande do Norte.
La comunidad de mujeres en República de Platón
Authors: Sonna María Valeria
Published: March 2022

Resumen: La manera en la que Platón articula su discurso en torno a las mujeres en el Libro V de República da lugar a una suerte de contradicción. Por un lado, se les otorga derechos y se las libera de la dominación masculina en 453a-457b, pero se las sitúa nuevamente en calidad de propiedad de los hombres en 457d- 466c. Dicha ambigüedad ha dado lugar a un profuso debate en torno a si Platón suscribió realmente a la igualdad de las mujeres o si las considera propiedad de los hombres. En el presente trabajo propongo interpretar esta ambigüedad del texto como un efecto retórico que deja traslucir el carácter patriarcal del lenguaje que envuelve a la institución misma del oîkos y que va más allá de la pregunta por las intenciones del autor.

Published: March 2022

Abstract Advances in the development and use of Industry 4.0 technology has resulted in it being applied in various industries. Industry 4.0 enables companies to develop their operations and improve their organizational efficiency. The process of implementing Industry 4.0 is very important, as it requires significant investment, skilled labor and state-of-the-art technology. The aim of this article is to identify the main criteria behind decision-making in choosing and implementing technology, that is part of the Industry 4.0 concept. The research method chosen for the study was a systematic literature review. The results show that the use of broad requirements tends to be predominant, using large groups of criteria that are intended to aggregate several different requirements. This review is relevant because few recent studies have been found, and therefore this article helps to identify what has been published so far on the subject of decision-making around choosing and implementing Industry 4.0 technology in organizations and what criteria and tools they base their decisions on. To date, the research has not encountered any similar work that aims to group all the information on decision-making around choosing and implementing Industry 4.0 technology.
Relationship between Just in Time, Lean Manufacturing, and Performance Practices: a meta-analysis

Published: March 2022

Abstract: Companies strive for superior results. Focusing on return, performance, and profitability is mainstream; this reasoning is constantly present in the decisions of the strategic operational management of companies. Based on this assumption, the objective of this work is to evaluate empirically whether the degree to which a company implements a combination of Just in Time (JIT) or Lean Manufacturing practices systematically affects the company's operational, financial, and/or organisational performance. For this, a meta-analysis was carried out; the final sample consisted of 28 articles, with 41 studies and 12,708 included subjects who provided the effects that explain the proposed relationship. The data were collected in the Web of Science, EBSCO, and Science Direct databases, with an open period, considering all works available until July 2020. Among the main findings, JIT practices and the company's operational performance present a positive, significant, medium effect. Lean manufacturing practices demonstrate a positive and significant relationship in operational, financial, and organisational performance, all with an average impact on the effect size. No direct relationship was found between the JIT variables and organisational performance (financial, operational, and environmental), based on the TBL. Additional research is needed regarding the relationship of JIT and Lean Manufacturing practices with the organisational performance (financial, operational, and environmental) based on the TBL, as well as an in-depth analysis of previous research related to green Lean practices and their relationship with organisational performance, based on the TBL.

Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT Conservation of the Amazon rainforest is a global concern and is supported by the Brazilian government’s ratification of the Bonn Challenge and Paris Agreement and the introduction of national regulations on vegetation protection and restoration. Amazonas is the largest and least deforested of the states occupied by the Brazilian Amazon (< 3%). We carried out a survey on the current state and growth potential of seed and seedling production in Amazonas state, pointing out constraints where future investment can promote the achievement of large-scale restoration commitments. We visited the 35 officially registered seed producers or nurseries working with native seeds and interviewed their owners or managers using open and closed questions. Enterprises were mainly privately-owned family businesses with small production (10,001 - 100,000 seedlings per year) and concentrated in the metropolitan area of the state capital Manaus. We uncovered a further 54 non-officially registered nurseries. Annual production (2018) was almost four tons of seeds and nearly ten million seedlings. According to the owners, production could be increased five to seven times with existing infrastructure. Production is focused foremost on species for food production (48% seeds, 74% seedlings), while ecological restoration only makes up 35% of seed and 8% of seedling use. Major bottlenecks cited by the producers were low demand for native tree species, high transportation costs and excessive bureaucracy. To achieve large-scale restoration, we recommend enforcement of national policies for vegetation protection and restoration, and a restructuring of the seed and seedling sector with a bottom-up approach.

ABSTRACT Domestic buffalo production plays an economically important role in the Brazilian Amazon, but they are susceptible to many diseases favored by the tropical climate and annually flooded habitats, including ocular diseases. In this context, it is important to select genotypes that maximize innate ocular immunity in Amazonian herds. We aimed to characterise, for the first time, gene expression profiles of the innate immune system in the conjunctival membrane of buffalo. Ocular conjunctival tissue samples were collected from 60 clinically healthy slaughtered animals in the northern Brazilian state of Amapá. The samples were histologically processed for classification into three groups according to the quantitative degree of lymphoid tissue associated with the conjunctiva (discrete, G1; slight, G2; and moderate, G3 presence of lymphoid tissue). RT-PCR was used to quantify gene expression of inflammatory cytokine (IL6, IL10, TNFA, IFNG), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and Defensin beta 110 (DEFB110), relative to the endogenous GAPDH gene. G1 animals presented low expression for IL6, IL10, TNFA, and DEFB110, while G2 exhibited high expression for IL6, IL10, IFNG, and TLR4. All G3 animals showed high expression for all tested genes. These results suggest a greater resistance to pathogenic microorganisms of buffalos in the G3 group, and the proportion of lymphoid tissue associated with the conjunctiva may be related to the immune resistance of individuals.

ABSTRACT Brazil stands out in the international scenario in the production of short-fiber pulp. Despite the great Brazilian biodiversity, that production is based on exotic Eucalyptus clones. In this sense, there may be great potential in the assessment of new sources of fibers from the Brazilian flora, including the Amazon. The present study aimed to assess the technical potential of the wood of Ochroma pyramidale (Malvaceae) for the production of kraft pulp. Four-year-old trees were harvested from a commercial forest for lumber production in Mato Grosso state (Brazil). We determined the wood’s chemical compositions (holocellulose, Klason lignin, soluble lignin, extractives and ash contents), physical properties (density and porosity), and fiber morphology (fiber length, width and thickness, lumen diameter, wall fraction, coefficient of flexibility, and slenderness and Runkel ratios). The wood was subjected to pulping with an effective alkali charge ranging from 10 to 24%, with intervals of 2%. Ochroma pyramidale wood presented characteristics favorable to the production of cellulosic pulp, such as appropriate fiber dimensions and low lignin, extractives, and ash content. The amount of residual active alkali and pH of the black liquor were positively related to the increase of the alkali charge employed in the pulping process. The increase of alkali charge decreased the pulp yield, kappa number and waste content, and increased the hexenuronic acid concentration.
Interspecific foraging association between the cryptic forest-falcon, Micrastur mintoni and primates in an Amazon rainforest in Brazil
Authors: UBAID Flávio Kulaif , BECO Renata
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT Following behavior is a well-documented foraging specialization in Neotropical birds, which consists of individuals of solitary or mixed-flocking species following other moving animals to capture fleeing prey. Here, we report two observations of the cryptic forest-falcon, Micrastur mintoni following troops of primates during an ornithological inventory in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. During both observations, the falcon emitted a typical vocalization and captured fleeing insects dispersed by the primates moving through the forest while foraging. This is the first report of an apparently commensal association between a Micrastur forest falcon and two species of primates.
First record of leucism in the polychromatic Amazon tree boa, Corallus hortulana (Serpentes, Boidae) of South America
Authors: FERNANDES Igor Yuri , DAHAN Audrey , FIOT Benoît
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT Snakes have a wide variety of color patterns that can be related to specific ecological and physiological functions. However, genetic mutations can lead to the appearance of anomalous color patterns, which can directly interfere with the fitness of individuals. Leucism is a chromatic anomaly characterized by the almost total absence of epidermal and dermal chromatophores that produce the color. Corallus hortulana is an arboreal snake with nocturnal habits, widely distributed throughout South America, with a wide range of color patterns, known as polychromatism. Here we report the first case of leucism in Corallus hortulana and discuss the potential ecological implications of this anomaly in this species.

Published: March 2022

Abstract Objective: To describe the experience of aeromedical interhospital transport of an adult patient with severe hypoxemic respiratory failure due to SARS-CoV-2, on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Method: This is a case report, guided by the tool Case Report Guidelines, with a descriptive approach. Data were collected from the digital medical record and field notes after the approval by the Institution and the Human Research Ethics Committee. Results: The transport of a critically ill, unstable patient with acute respiratory syndrome 2 on extracorporeal oxygenation was an opportunity for the team to acquire new knowledge. The proper preparation of the fixed-wing aircraft and the profile of the team of specialist nurses contributed to the safety and quality in the three phases of flight: preflight, in-flight and post-flight. Conclusion: Air transport of adults on cardiopulmonary bypass to referral centers, under the care of an experienced multidisciplinary team, can contribute to positive results. The nurses’ autonomy, their leadership role and expertise in process management are highlighted. Thus, success was evidenced with the patient’s discharge after 45 days from the Intensive Care Unit.

RESUMO Objetivo compreender a dinâmica da regulação de acesso, os desafios e as perspectivas da atuação das Coordenadorias Regionais de Saúde do Rio Grande do Sul (CRS/RS) em saúde auditiva. Métodos estudo exploratório, transversal, de natureza censitária e análise descritiva. Envolveu os responsáveis pela regulação dos procedimentos de saúde auditiva nas CRS/RS, entrevistados quanto à formação profissional, identificação dos procedimentos disponíveis e respectiva oferta, sistemática da regulação de acesso e outras ações em saúde auditiva. Resultados participaram 15 profissionais, todas mulheres, de 16 das 18 CRS/RS existentes, entre 30 e 47 anos de idade: 13 fonoaudiólogas e duas fisioterapeutas, graduadas entre 1997 e 2012; 13 possuíam pós-graduação. Sobre a regulação nas CRS/RS, 13 utilizavam o Sistema Nacional de Regulação e três a realizavam manualmente; 12 utilizavam o protocolo disponibilizado pela Secretaria Estadual de Saúde/RS; dez CRS/RS regulavam procedimentos de Triagem Auditiva Neonatal e 16, de avaliação e diagnóstico, bem como de reabilitação. Verificou-se demanda reprimida para todos os procedimentos (maior para reabilitação auditiva) em 12 CRS/RS. Todas as CRS/RS realizavam uma ou mais ações promotoras da saúde auditiva, como vigilância, apoio matricial e atividades de educação em saúde. Conclusão a regulação de acesso em saúde auditiva é realizada de forma qualificada na maioria das CRS/RS. A oferta de procedimentos é insuficiente, sobretudo em reabilitação auditiva, que implica exclusiva atuação fonoaudiológica por meio de tecnologias leves e leve-duras.

Resumo Essa pesquisa teve o objetivo de investigar os determinantes do gasto público em Educação das cidades Sul Mato-Grossenses, no período de 2010-2018. A amostra contou com os 79 municípios analisados por meio de regressão com dados em painel de efeitos fixos. Os dados revelaram um desvio na distribuição das matrículas em relação ao quadro populacional, bem como a distribuição desproporcional do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) e dos gastos entre municípios. A análise evidenciou que o gasto em Educação é determinado pelo tamanho da população, pelo PIB per capita, e pelo ano eleitoral municipal. No entanto, distinto do fundamentado na literatura, as variáveis ano eleitoral geral e o quantitativo de matrículas não demonstraram influências no gasto em Educação, revelando limitações no financiamento da Educação em municípios menores devido à menor capacidade de obter recursos próprios, emendas parlamentares e descentralização central. Entre essas evidências, a pesquisa apresenta implicações para os gestores públicos, para a sociedade organizada e para os pesquisadores.
Octávio Eduardo, René Ribeiro e Melville Herskovits. Religiões afro-brasileiras, aculturação e sincretismo
Authors: Leal João
Published: March 2022

Resumo Este artigo é dedicado aos contributos dos antropólogos brasileiros Octávio Eduardo e René Ribeiro para a tematização do sincretismo. Ambos foram dois dos mais importantes estudiosos das religiões afro-brasileiras a partir de final dos anos 1940. Ambos foram também orientandos de Melville Herskovits e inscreveram o seu interesse pelo sincretismo no quadro mais geral da teoria da aculturação proposta por este antropólogo norte-americano. O artigo debruça-se sobre as contribuições mais gerais dos dois antropólogos para o estudo das culturas e religiões afro-brasileiras para se centrar depois nos seus contributos para a tematização do sincretismo, com destaque para a sua identificação de diferentes formas de sincretismo e para a sua interpretação das razões da sua importância no tambor de mina (Maranhão) e no xangô (Recife).
