Danos em Frutos e Sementes de Hymenaea courbaril L. por Rhinochenus stigma (Linneu 1764)
Authors: Amador Mojena Pastor , Barreto Marliton Rocha 
Published: April 2021

O desenvolvimento de insetos em frutos ameaça o potencial de germinação das sementes, sendo responsáveis por perdas em um número variado de espécies nativas e de valor econômico no Brasil. O jatobá é uma árvore grande, com 30 a 40 metros de altura, e possui tronco reto, com cerca de 2 metros de diâmetro, sendo bastante utilizado por populações tradicionais em função de suas diversas utilidades, a partir do uso da casca, das sementes, dos frutos, da seiva e das folhas, tendo seu mercado incentivado pelos vários produtos originados. Pesquisas realizadas em diferentes biomas brasileiros com espécies de árvores leguminosas destacam a predação de sementes e frutos por coleópteros broqueadores, afetando a qualidade da semente destinada à perpetuação da espécie. Portanto, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar os danos causados por Rhinochenus stigma em frutos e sementes de Hymenaea courbaril. Constatou-se que esse inseto foi responsável pelo consumo médio de 46,79% do peso de uma semente e que a porcentagem de germinação das sementes danificadas foi de apenas 3%. A predação de sementes por R. stigma possui um efeito direto sobre a qualidade fisiológica das sementes de H. courbaril e evitar esses danos são, significativamente, importantes para os coletores de frutos e sementes que o utilizam para confecção de artesanato, bem como para o uso em planos de reflorestamento.

Abstract
The development of insects in fruits threatens the seeds germination potential and is responsible for losses in a varied number of native species and of economic value in Brazil. Jatoba is a large tree, 30 to 40 meters high, and has a straight trunk, about 2 meters in diameter, it is widely used by traditional populations due to its diverse uses from the use of bark, seeds, fruits, sap and leaves, with its market encouraged by the various originated products. Research carried out in different Brazilian biomes with legume tree species highlights the seeds and fruits predation by boring coleoptera, affecting the quality of the seed aimed at the species perpetuation. Therefore, this work aims to evaluate the damage caused by Rhinochenus stigma in fruits and seeds of Hymenaea courbaril. It was found that this insect was responsible for the average consumption of 46.79% of the weight of a seed and that the germination percentage of the damaged seeds was only 3%. The seeds predation by R. stigma has a direct effect on the physiological quality of H. courbaril seeds and avoiding these damages is significantly important for fruit and seed collectors who use it for making crafts, as well as for use in reforestation plans.

O concreto é considerado um dos materiais mais utilizados do mundo, com inúmeras aplicações na construção civil. Apesar disso ainda apresenta deficiências que necessitam ser supridas e atendidas. Devido a isso, diversos materiais têm sido a ele incorporados para interferir em suas propriedades, como por exemplo, seu comportamento após fissuração. Fibras as mais diversas têm sido usadas e aqui procurou-se estudar como se comporta o concreto reforçado com fibras de bambu (CRFB). O presente trabalho intenta mostrar a importância de materiais alternativos na construção civil, com enfoque nas fibras de bambu. São avaliadas as resistências à compressão simples, à tração na flexão e por compressão diametral de concretos produzidos em laboratórios, com teores em peso de 0%, 0,5% e 1,0% de fibras. Os resultados indicam que o acréscimo no teor de fibras diminui a trabalhabilidade, bem como a facilidade de aplicação e de adensamento do concreto; no estado endurecido não houve alteração significativa na resistência à compressão aos 28 dias, porém pequeno decréscimo para idade de 63 dias; nos ensaios de resistência à tração as fibras mostraram boa interação com a matriz cimentícia.
Metodyka kontrolowania związków aminowych i lateksów w płuczkach wiertniczych

Published: April 2021

In industrial practice, rock hydration inhibitors, classified as amine compounds, are being increasingly used in drilling mud compositions. There is no methodology for determining this type of compounds content in the drilling mud, and proper servicing of this type of muds requires constant monitoring of their content to ensure appropriate inhibitory properties. During drilling, amine compounds adsorb on the surface of rocks and their concentration decreases during drilling and reduces the inhibitory properties of the mud. A common additive used in the composition of drilling muds is latex, the determination of which is necessary to ensure the mud parameters stability. Compounds of this type ensure the stability of the borehole wall, while their content also decreases during drilling. The results obtained from the research presented in the article allowed to propose methods for the determination of amine compounds and latexes. These methods can be used in the field laboratory when servicing drilling muds. The article presents the methodology for determining the content of new types of chemicals used in drilling muds, i.e. rock hydration inhibitors classified as amine compounds and latexes. The proposed methods enable proper servicing of muds with the addition of the agents that ensure the maintenance of appropriate mud properties. The method for the determination of amine compounds consists in determining the total nitrogen in the drilling mud filtrate. Dilution of the filtrate provides the results within the measuring range of the method and reduces the concentration of chloride ions, the amount of which may not exceed 10 000 mg/dm3. The first method of latex determination is weight determination of the dry residue after separation of the latex from the filtrate with acetone. The second one is based on nephelometric measurements of a tenfold diluted filtrate. The measurement result is the NTU (nephelometric turbidity unit) value depending on the latex content in the filtrate. All of the developed methods require the preparation of calibration curves, which are the basis for calculating the content of a given agent in the mud.

BUROCRACIA COM DEMOCRACIA: A ADMINISTRAÇÃO BUROCRÁTICA-COLEGIADA-PARTILHADA COM SISTEMA DE REPRESENTAÇÃO-LIVRE SEGUNDO MAX WEBER <br/><br/> BUREAUCRACY WITH DEMOCRACY: THE BUREAUCRATIC-COLLEGIATE ADMINISTRATION WITH FREE-REPRESENTATION SYSTEM ACCORDING TO MAX WEBER
Authors: Sell Carlos Eduardo 
Published: April 2021

O artigo analisa os dois tipos ideais de burocracia em Max Weber, a “administração burocrática monocrática” e a “administração burocrática colegiada com representação livre”. Ambos os tipos são apresentados por Max Weber em lugares separados do capítulo sobre a dominação, redigido na fase tardia de Economia e Sociedade. A análise comparativo-sistemática dessas duas variantes da administração burocrática demonstra que, do ponto de vista histórico-exegético, Max Weber buscava integrar analiticamente o tema da democracia no contexto de sua sociologia da dominação. A partir de tal constatação sugere-se uma leitura diferenciada de sua teoria política que explora, além das tensões e contradições, também os nexos estruturais existentes entre a forma racional de dominação e a democracia.ABSTRACTThe article analyzes the two ideal types of bureaucracy in Max Weber, the “monocratic bureaucratic administration” and the “collegiate bureaucratic administration with free representation. Both types are presented by Max Weber in separate places from the chapter on domination written in the late phase of Economics and Society. The comparative-systematic analysis of these two variants of bureaucratic administration demonstrates that, from a historical-exegetical point of view, Max Weber sought to analytically integrate the theme of democracy into the context of hissociology of domination. Based on this observation, a differentiated reading of his political theory is suggested, which explores, in addition to the tensions and contradictions, also the existing structural links between the rational form of domination and the democracy.
“Ten sam odwieczny wróg niebezpieczny.” The Universal Dimension of Tuwim’s Satire
Authors: Sidoruk Elżbieta 
Published: April 2021

In the article, the author analyses the satirical works by Julian Tuwim published in his poetic collections. By indicating the strong bonds between poetry and satire in the poet’s works, the author explains the phenomenon of the unwavering topicality of Tuwim’s satire having generalising ambitions. She has considered the poet’s masterful combination of the poetic perspective with the attitude of a satirist as a factor which enables the generalisation of the critical diagnosis. However, she argues that the universal dimension of his wide-scope satirical works is mainly determined by the poet’s worldview-based horizons, which constituted the point of reference for his critical evaluation of the existing social reality, which exposed the destructive influence of a community on an individual. She also stated that he was able to peer deep into the mentality of the mindless members of the “tyrannous community” by virtue of his distance towards himself, in turn being the result of his sense of the absurdity of his own existence.

Authors: Kim N. L. , Yamin M. A. 
Published: April 2021

Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia belongs to the group of primary dyskinesias, which also includes paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia and exercise-induced paroxysmal dyskinesia. Due to the rarity of this disease group, as well as to the existence of a wide spectrum of disorders associated with transient movement abnormalities, the diagnosis is often difficult. A thorough analysis of clinical presentation, objective registration of paroxysmal events (video-electroencephalography monitoring) is helpful in the diagnosis. The most common causes of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia are mutations in the PRRT2 gene, while paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia is caused by the MR1 gene mutations.The paper describes a clinical case of a 13 year old patient with acute, movement-associated, shortterm dystonic, choreic and ballistic hyperkinesis attacks. The patient had been treated with the diagnosis of epilepsy, tics, and dystonia for a long time without any effect. During diagnostic workup, a mutation in the PRRT2 gene intron was identified by a new generation sequencing of gene panel. Despite of this mutation has not been previously described, taking into account the type of Informed consent statement hyperkinesis attacks, association of their onset to movements, as well as the data of instrumental assessments, the diagnosis of paroxysmal kinesi-genic dyskinesia was made. Treatment with carbamazepine was successful with complete control over hyperkinesis.The diagnosis of paroxysmal dyskinesias remains based on the analysis of clinical picture and the trigger type. Molecular genetic diagnostics, with consideration of the most frequent causal mutations related to these conditions, can minimize both time and financial costs.

The project entitled ”Proteomic and metabolomic strategy of searching for biomarkers of genital cancer diseases using mass spectrometry methods” is a study based on novel omics techniques. The main assumption of this research is the development of innovative model of searching of biomarkers in ovarian and prostate cancers using proteomics and metabolomics methodologies supported by bioinformatics analysis. The innovatory strategy based on the latest achievements in the field of mass spectrometry will allow for the implementation of the unique studies for discovery new biomarkers, which are useful in prediction, diagnosis and treatment of the genital cancers. To date, there is no comprehensive data including set of proteins and other endogenous compounds involved in the development and differentiation of these diseases. Therefore, the proposed approach may contribute to the discovery of biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity, which will provide new information about genital cancers characterization.

Published: April 2021

Introduction. There is a growing body of evidence for the role of vitamin K in cardiovascular health. As a cofactor of carboxylation of the matrix Gla protein it prevents arterial calcification. However, the data on the relationship between vitamin K status and the blood pressure are scarce, and particularly so in persons without the burden of cardiovascular risk factors. Material and Methods. We performed a pilot cross-sectional study, in which we hypothesized that vitamin K deficiency is associated with a higher blood pressure in young, healthy people. The concentration of protein induced by vitamin K absence-II (PIVKA-II) larger than 2 ng/mL was chosen as a proxy for vitamin K deficiency; it was assessed in serum using ELISA. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated oscillometric monitor in triplicate.Results. Twenty-three healthy subjects were enrolled (16 female; mean age 21.3 ± 1.6 years; body mass index 20.6 ± 2.4 kg/m2). The diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was lower in vitamin K-deficient subjects (58 ± 9 vs. 67 ± 5 mmHg, p = 0.01). The mean arterial blood pressure also differed (75 ± 9 vs. 83 ± 6, p = 0.02). PIVKA-II levels correlated with DBP only (Pearson’s R = -0.41, p < 0.05; Spearman’s ? ns.). Stepwise regression identified PIVKA-II concentrations as the only independent parameter associated with DBP (adjusted R2 = 13.1%; PIVKA-II: ß = -0.41; 95%CI -1.87-(-0.00098), t = -2.08, p < 0.05).Conclusions. The relationship between vitamin K deficiency and low DBP in young adults should be investigated further.

Published: April 2021

Introduction. Increasingly popular physician ranking websites have lately become a significant factor in choosing a physician.Aim. The aim of this study was to establish the criteria by which patients assessed doctors on PRWs and which of these criteria were the most crucial during the general assessment of the physicians.Material and methods. Selected narrative comments from two Polish PRWs: znanylekarz.pl and rankinglekarzy.pl were analysed on the basis of the following criteria: kindness and propriety, punctuality, communication with patients, condition and equipment of a doctor's office, length of the appointment, cost of the medical advice.Results. Out of 4375 eligible comments kindness and propriety was assessed most frequently (3012 comments, 68.85%), next was communication, which was evaluated in 2343 comments (53.55%). Amongst the 3012 comments with assessed kindness and propriety, 77.66% (2339 comments) were described positively. In the group of comments with positively evaluated kindness and propriety 2230 comments (95.34 %) were generally positive. Furthermore, communication with patient was assessed in 2343 comments and in 1827 cases (77.98%) the assessment was positive. 1810 comments with positively evaluated communication were generally positive (99.07%).Conclusions. There is a connection between the patients' positive assessment and physician's kindness, personal culture and communication skills; if physicians focus on the aforementioned abilities, it might lead to better physician perception, higher effectiveness of treatment and the lower number of potential law suits.

Published: April 2021

Introduction. Fucosylation of acute phase proteins and serum soluble selectin levels is increased in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and can influence leukocyte extravasation. Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentration and fucosylation of ?1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) in relation to serum concentrations of soluble forms of selectins in RA patients. Material and methods. Serum samples of 70 RA patients and 30 healthy controls were examined using sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results. ACT-FR was significantly increased in RA patients when compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001) and significantly correlated with serum concentrations of rheumatoid factor (RF) and antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides (ACPA) (p = 0.006, p = 0.04, respectively). Moreover, we found significant correlations between the serum levels of soluble (s)P- and sE-selectin and ACT-FR (p = 0.008 and p = 0.03, respectively) only in male RA patients.Conclusions. Fucosylation of ACT differs between male and female RA patients and is related to sP- and sE-selectin levels only in men.

Introduction. The number of people with dementia increases. Patients are dependent of informal care provided by their family members, especially spouses, children and friends. As the disease progresses caregiving becomes more complex, stressful and demanding. The needs of informal caregivers are related to the lack of professional support in care, including information about the disease, advise of management of its symptoms and social and financial support. It is therefore important to create an information tool which will assist caregivers in their daily work with people with dementia.Aim. The aim of the study was the technical evaluation of the information platform for caregivers of patients with dementia. Material and methods. The study involved 18 caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease. The level of GDS scale comprised those between 4 and 7. Platform testing had been carried out from 15 February to 15 March 2015. Evaluation of the platform was made using a technical questionnaire depending on the result of the GDS and the Zarit scale. Results and conclusions. Platform was rated positively by caregivers (average score 4 out of 5) with the exception of a few areas which received an average rating of 3. These areas include: usefulness of the guidance provided for the application (26% of respondents assessed it negatively), ease to find the relevant information (25% negative assessments), application responsiveness (24% negative assessments) and the quality of the media files (23% negative assessments). Respondents assessed the platform positively, although some technical issues need improvement.

Introduction. Iron is one of many essential mineral components necessary for normal functioning of organisms. This microelement takes part in transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, DNA synthesis, and is essential for normal activity of numerous enzymes. Aim. The aim of the work was the assessment of iron consumption among students of Poznan universities with consideration of the need for this mineral component. Material and methods. The study was conducted between the months of February and October 2012. Based on the randomly chosen study group, 100 people were analyzed – 66 females and 34 males. In total 25 people from each of the four Poznan universities: Poznan University of Medical Sciences, August Cieszkowski University of Life Sciences, Poznan University of Technology, as well as Eugeniusz Piasecki Academy of Physical Education were included into the studied population. In this study a questionnaire was a tool used in the analysis. Statistical analysis was conducted with the use of computer programs: STATISTICA version 10 and Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Determination of average values of iron, vitamin C, calcium and fiber intake, was performed with the use of DIETETYK 2011.Results. Satisfaction of the need for iron differs depending on the university and gender. The low iron intake was observed at Poznan University of Medical Sciences, while the high one at the University of Natural Science. Men (25) more often delivered with food adequate amount of iron in comparison to women (3). Increase in iron intake was observed together with the increase in the amount of calories in the diet as well as higher BMI. The study also showed that chronically ill people as well as women heavily bleeding during menses more frequently suffered from anemia. The main source of heme iron for the students was poultry meat, while the source of non-heme iron were mainly whole-wheat products.

Introduction. The efficient pharmacotherapy is an important part of palliative and hospice care, and requires a multidisciplinary approach to the patients. The pharmacist, as the member of the multidisciplinary therapeutic team, is responsible for performing pharmaceutical care, which provides safe and efficient treatment. The aim of the research was to conduct a comparative research about the status of palliative and hospice care and role of the pharmacist (clinical pharmacist) in Ukraine and Poland.Material and methods. It was a questionnaire survey conducted in Ukraine, as well as analysis of information sources associated with this subject. The questionnaire was developed on the basis of similar study conducted in Poland. It consisted of 15 multiple-choice questions addressed to head physicians and doctors in Ukraine. The obtained results were compared to the results of the mentioned above Polish study. Results. Eight head physicians and 22 doctors (30 questionnaires) from 13 palliative and hospice care institutions in Ukraine responded to the survey. It has been found that almost half in Ukraine (43%) believed that the pharmacist should be a mandatory member of a multidisciplinary team, because of his/her significant role in drug management in hospice. Conclusion. A multidisciplinary approach to satisfying of patients' needs in palliative and hospice care has a great significance. Results of the study testify to the importance of including the pharmacists into the multidisciplinary team.
