Published: September 2016

O Brasil é um grande produtor de suínos para exportação e para o abastecimento do mercado interno. Porém essa atividade possui um grande impacto ambiental devido à grande geração de resíduos. Os suínos poluem em média aproximadamente 4,5 vezes mais que um ser humano. Uma das soluções é a implementação de biodigestores para o tratamento desses resíduos, o que possibilita a geração de biogás para ser utilizado como combustível para grupos geradores de energia. Esse trabalho buscou elaborar um modelo matemático para estimar qual é o número ótimo de animais pertencentes a um rebanho de uma granja suína para a implementação de sistemasde geração de energia elétrica. Foram levantados dados de necessidade energética, enquadramentos tarifários,valores de investimento para a implantação e capacidade de produção dos sistemas. Após realizada a modelageme utilizando o software Lingo 14.0 Versão Demo foram calculados os valores ótimos para o sistema de geraçãode energia. Os resultados obtidos pelas simulações quando comparados a casos reais se mostram bastante razoáveis,validando a modelagem. Os dados de tamanho de rebanho obtidos se mostraram razoáveis e factíveis se comparadosa empreendimentos reais na região do vale do Piranga.

Published: September 2016

Background:Poliomyelitis was before the immunization an important medical problem. Nowadays polio prior patients (PP) suffer from polio sequelae or have developed post-polio-syndrome (PPS) with increasing paresis, pain and fatigue.Objectives:To analyze the medical situation 50 years after acute polio. The degree of paresis was compared between the recovery 1952-1961 and 2012.The prevalence of patients fulfilling the criteria for PPS was estimatedMethod:The study was performed in Italy. Included were PP with rehabilitation after acute polio 1952-1961 and in 2012. During the years PP underwent yearly evaluation. A thorough neurological examination was performed in 2012. A telephone interview with questions concerning pain, paresis, fatigue, walking aids and concomitant diseases was performed in 2012. The patients were divided in two groups, if they fulfilled the criteria for PPS or not.Results:Included were 67(94%) patients receiving rehabilitation after acute poliomyelitis and 2012. 78% were walkers, half of the PPS used wheelchair. Eight out of ten suffered from pain. Four out of ten fulfilled the PPS criteria. Pain was slightly more common in PPS.Conclusion:Female gender, fatigue and wheelchair dependency were significantly more common in PPS while pain was common in both groups.

Authors: Lloyd Steven W. , Grimm Casey C. , Bett-Garber Karen L. , Beaulieu John C. , Boykin Deborah L. 
Published: September 2016

Background:
Recent interest in the health promoting potential of anthocyanins points to the need for robust and reliable analytical methods. It is essential to know that the health promoting chemicals are present in juices and other products processed from whole fruit. Many different methods have been published using a wide variety of conditions for the hydrolysis of anthocyanins to anthocyanidins.

Objective:
To investigate the factors influencing the hydrolytic conversion efficiency. The optimum set of conditions will maximize the recovery of anthocyanidins.

Method:
Extraction procedure (freeze drying vs. direct liquid extraction), heating method (reflux vs. sealed vial), nitrogen purging and acid type were investigated. Response surface methodology was then used to find the optimum combination of incubation time, acid concentration and incubation temperature.

Results:
Anthocyanidin recovery can be maximized using this procedure: Freeze-dry homogenized fruit and extract with methanol:water:TFA, place 1 mL extract or juice in a test tube and add 440 µL 37% HCl, purge the tube with N2, seal with a PTFE lined cap, vortex, then heat at 99°C for 6.4 minutes. Filter the hydrolysate into an autosampler vial and analyze by UPLC immediately.

Conclusion:
Maximizing the recovery of anthocyanidins (by manipulating conditions in order to maximize peak areas) leads to a more accurate measure of the anthocyanidins present in blueberries.

Authors: Mestries Francis 
Published: September 2016

Este artículo cuestiona el concepto de “transnacionalismo” y presenta el caso del migrante binacional exitoso llamado Andrés Bermúdez, que en los albores de las modificaciones legislativas sobre la doble nacionalidad y voto de los mexicanos en el extranjero saltó a la fama al competir por el cargo de alcalde en Jerez, su ciudad natal, logrando movilizar el entusiasmo del pueblo, en especial de los rancheros, con un discurso anticorrupción, antiélites tradicionales y renovación democrática. Se cuestiona la simultaneidad de la experiencia transnacional del migrante permanente, resaltando el distanciamiento espacial y temporal de su vivencia respecto a su pueblo natal, y los cambios culturales divergentes sufridos por el expatriado y por el país de origen.
La política eólica mexicana: Controversias sociales y ambientales debido a su implantación territorial. Estudios de caso en Oaxaca y Yucatán.
Authors: Zárate Toledo Ezequiel , Fraga Julia 
Published: September 2016

La política eólica mexicana es impulsada por organismos de desarrollo internacionales que indujeron a los poderes públicos la adopción de una serie de mecanismos técnicos y financieros para la integración de las energías renovables al sistema eléctrico nacional. En este artículo se analiza el diseño de la política eólica mexicana y los conflictos relacionados con su implantación territorial. Para lograrlo nos basaremos en el análisis de caso de dos regiones del país: el sur del Istmo de Tehuantepec —una de las regiones más ventosas del mundo— y la Península de Yucatán. Ambos casos muestran los vacíos de una política eólica demasiado sectorial, tecnocéntrica y sin políticas como la ambiental que genera situaciones de confrontación con las poblaciones locales.

Published: September 2016

This investigation was carried out to evaluate the nutritional and microbiological quality of germinated soy flour. Protein content of germinated soy flour was 6.90% higher than the non-germinated soy flour. Essential amino acids content, including Lysine, Valine and Threonine was increased by 8.53%, 8.50% and 7.93% respectively. In addition, vitamin B2 and iron contents were also increased by 14.29% & 8.80% respectively, compared to non-germinated soy flour. Germination resulted in nutritionally enriched soy flour as compared to non-germinationated one. The microbiological quality parameters including total bacterial count, total coliform count, fecal indicator Escherichia coli and yeast & mold count was found to be within acceptable level throughout the 6 months of storage at ambient temperature. No food borne pathogen including Salmonella spp. Staphylococcus aureus was detected. Furthermore, spore forming bacteria including Bacillus cereus was not detected in any of the germinated soy flour sample tested. In addition, fungal metabolites including aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 could not be detected in any sample. Nutritional and microbiological finding of this study, indicate the germinated soy flour could be used as raw material or ingredient for making diverse food and bakery products.Bangladesh J. Sci.

Who Placed the Eye in the Center of a Sphere? Speculations about the Origins of Thomas Reid's Geometry of Visibles
Authors: Matthiessen Hannes Ole 
Published: September 2016

Thomas Reid argued that the geometrical properties of visible figures equal the geometrical properties of their projections on the inside of a sphere centred around the eye. In recent scholarship there are only a few suggestions of which sources might have inspired Reid.I point to a widely ignored body of early eighteenth-century literature – introductions into projective geometry, the use of celestial globes and astronomy – in which the model of the eye in the centre of a sphere was immensely popular. Moreover, I argue that Reid's account results naturally from some astronomical doctrines in conjunction with George Berkeley's theory of vision.
Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Elements in Hume
Authors: Slavov Matias 
Published: September 2016

For the last forty years, Hume's Newtonianism has been a debated topic in Hume scholarship. The crux of the matter can be formulated by the following question: Is Hume a Newtonian philosopher? Debates concerning this question have produced two lines of interpretation. I shall call them ‘traditional’ and ‘critical’ interpretations. The traditional interpretation asserts that there are many Newtonian elements in Hume, whereas the critical interpretation seriously questions this.In this article, I consider the main points made by both lines of interpretations and offer further arguments that contribute to this debate. I shall first argue, in favor of the traditional interpretation, that Hume is sympathetic to many prominently Newtonian themes in natural philosophy such as experimentalism, criticality of hypotheses, inductive proof, and criticality of Leibnizian principles of sufficient reason and intelligibility. Second, I shall argue, in accordance with the critical interpretation, that in many cases Hume is not a Newtonian philosopher: His conceptions regarding space and time, vacuum, reality of forces, specifics about causation, and the status of mechanism differ markedly from Newton's related conceptions. The outcome of the article is that there are both Newtonian and non/anti-Newtonian elements in Hume.

Fashion Thinking
Authors: Dieffenbacher Fiona 
Published: September 2016

The thinking behind a fashion collection is what sets one designer apart from another. Learning to push ideas forward, to develop concepts and to challenge the status quo is what gives us some of fashion’s greatest innovations. Yet students often struggle to develop their own style and approach to design. While the design process is fundamental to the way all fashion designers work, there is no right or wrong method: each emerging designer must find their own authentic process.
By following nine award-winning student designers through their thought processes in response to a brief, Fashion Thinking establishes key approaches to design and encourages this process of discovery. Each student project represents a diverse range of strategies at each stage of the design cycle. By following each throughout their various stages of development, these examples offer a unique and inspiring insight into the thinking behind a final collection. Supported by beautiful imagery and illuminating perspectives from professionals throughout the fashion industry, Fashion Thinking is a book that no aspiring fashion designer should be without!
The Fundamentals of Printed Textile Design
Authors: Russel Alex 
Published: September 2016

The Fundamentals of Printed Textile Design explores contemporary practice in printed textile design. It outlines the process of creating designs, looking at the vital role played by drawing, colour, style and content. It also analyses how to contextualise and communicate effectively in order to build a professional portfolio, whether through traditional design staples or via a more original approach. It examines the positions occupied by designers in the industry, and the technical and ethical considerations of which they must be aware.
In order to design effectively, print and pattern practitioners need to understand not only how the industry works but must also consider the cultural and economic factors that can shape what future clients or consumers will require. This book suggests strategies for developing an understanding of these contexts within and beyond the fashion and textiles industry to provide an innovative resource for the designers of today and tomorrow.

Flowering spectrum diversity of Vicia sepium
Authors: Maršalkienė Nijolė 
Published: September 2016

The bush vetch (Vicia sepium) takes one of the first places among leguminous grasses by the amount of proteins. The previous studies show that the bush vetch is one of the most perspective leguminous fodder grasses in Lithuania. The seeds of 13 V. sepium cenopopulations from different places of the country were sown in spring in mixture with Phleum pretense and Festuca pratensis and investigated in an experimental station (central Lithuania, medium loam, pH-7) in 2004–2007. The aim of the work was to investigate the diversity of flowering spectrum and the environmental impact on the time of flowering of V. sepium. Oneand two-time flowering cenopopulations were found, and early and late flowering forms of the bush vetch were distinguished by the experimental season. Cenopopulations from southwestern and northern regions flowered twice more frequently than cenopopulations from the southern region. Cenopopulations originating from the eastern region were characterized by early and one-time flowering. The greatest influence on the flowering term and duration was exerted by the amount of precipitation.
