Published: March 2022

O reconhecimento das deficiências é uma expressão da diversidade humana e consequência da relação da condição física, sensorial, intelectual e mental das pessoas com o ambiente, o sistema e a sociedade. Pesquisas apontam que menos de 1% das pessoas com deficiência em idade ativa possuem vínculo empregatício. Considerando este panorama populacional, social e compreendendo o desenvolvimento profissional como algo imprescindível para o amadurecimento e construção da autonomia da pessoa com deficiência, foi idealizado e executado no Centro Integrado de Inclusão e Reabilitação (CIIR), localizado em Belém do Pará, o projeto “IncluiCIIR: capacitação profissional da PcD para o mundo do trabalho”. A metodologia utilizada foi a do Emprego Apoiado e se estabeleceu como possibilidade profissional à PcD. Os participantes do projeto foram envolvidos em oficinas de ações educativas em caráter pontual e efetivo, paralelo a atividades, a priori, de cunho administrativo, num processo de imersão nas atividades laborais. O CIIR é aliado na busca por uma sociedade verdadeiramente inclusiva, apontando a necessidade e importância do direito à cidadania que a PcD possui. Entendemos que a inclusão da PcD no Mundo do Trabalho, vai além do cumprimento legal, é um direito previsto na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos. Fomentar o acesso de PcDs em espaços socialmente negados é uma ação que corrobora para melhoria da saúde, autoestima, qualidade de vida e garantia de direitos do/a cidadão/ã com deficiência, além de atender a dimensão do valor do trabalho em nossa sociedade como atividade terapêutica e social.
Trap Type Affects Catches of Bark and Woodboring Beetles in a Southern Pine Stand

AbstractIn 2012, we tested the relative efficacy of four commercial types of insect traps (panel; standard multiple-funnel; modified multiple-funnel; and sea, land, and air Malaise [SLAM]) for capturing bark and woodboring beetles (Coleoptera) in a pine stand in northcentral Georgia. All traps were baited with ethanol, α-pinene, ipsenol, and ipsdienol lures. The SLAM trap outperformed the panel trap for diversity and abundance of Cerambycidae. Mean catches of Asemum striatum (L.) in SLAM traps were greater than those in all other traps. SLAM traps caught more Acanthocinus obsoletus (LeConte) and Xylotrechus sagittatus (Germar) than standard multiple-funnel funnel and panel traps. The greatest numbers of Monochamus titillator (F.) were in SLAM and modified multiple-funnel traps. In contrast, SLAM traps were inferior to all other trap types in trapping bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae). More Dendroctonus terebrans (Olivier), Hylastes porculus Erichson, and Hylastes salebrosus Eichhoff were captured in panel traps than the other types of traps. Catches of Ips avulsus (Eichhoff), Ips calligraphus (Germar), Orthotomicus caelatus (Eichhoff), and Pityophthorus spp. were the same in panel, standard multiple-funnel, and modified multiple-funnel traps. Our data suggest that combinations of trap types should be considered in maximizing the effectiveness of detection programs for pine bark and woodboring beetles.

AbstractEastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carriere, is an important component of riparian zones in Appalachian forests. Tree mortality caused by hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) could impact aquatic macroinvertebrate populations. Our study examined larval populations of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera occurring in the headwaters of two creeks in the Sumter National Forest (Oconee Co., SC). Larval populations were initially sampled in King Creek (2006) and Crane Creek (2007) in separate studies. When those studies were conducted, there was no noticeable decline in hemlock health along either creek. However, by 2009 hemlock mortality along both creeks was obvious, and the Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera community was resurveyed on both creeks. This is the first study comparing aquatic macroinvertebrate populations before and after A. tsugae infestation. Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera larvae were identified to genus, and analyzed at the functional feeding group level. In both creeks, collector filterers and scrapers were significantly more abundant in the initial survey than in 2009. Generic diversity within each creek was examined using the total Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera community, and was based on the indices of: richness (D0), Shannon exponential (D1), and inverse Simpson (D2). The only diversity measure that differed significantly between the original survey and 2009 was the Shannon exponential index for Crane Creek which was significantly higher in 2009 than 2006

Abstract
Spruce beetle, Dendroctonus rufipennis Kirby (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), causes significant mortality of mature spruce, Picea spp. (Pinales: Pinaceae), in western North America. We evaluated the effectiveness of two formulations of bole injections of emamectin benzoate (TREE-äge® G4 and TREE-äge R10; Arborjet, Inc., Woburn, MA) alone and combined with propiconazole (Propizol®; Arborjet, Inc.) for protecting Engelmann spruce, Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm., from mortality attributed to colonization by D. rufipennis. Treatments were injected 16–19 July 2017, and levels of Pi. engelmannii mortality were determined for 2018 and 2019. Each experimental tree (n = 30, including an untreated control group) was baited with aggregation pheromone (frontalin) June–September 2018. All surviving treated Pi. engelmannii and a second untreated control group were baited June–September 2019. Both TREE-äge G4 and TREE-äge R10 significantly reduced levels of Pi. engelmannii mortality compared with the untreated control; however, protection was limited to one field season. Protection was increased to two field seasons by combining TREE-äge G4 and TREE-äge R10 with Propizol. The addition of Propizol, a triazole fungicide, likely reduced the progression of blue stain within treated Pi. engelmannii increasing tree health and resistance to D. rufipennis.

Published: March 2022

The surface tension of aqueous solutions of cationic (dodecylammonium and dodecylpyridinium chlorides) and anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate) surfactants was measured in the presence of polyacrylamide in the solution. A synergistic effect of reducing the surface tension of mixed solutions of cationic surfactants, in the region of sufficiently high concentrations of mixed solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate, with polyacrylamide in the range of molar ratios of the mixture components - n (Surfactants : PAA) = 1: 1; 1: 0.25 was established. The values ​​of the maximum adsorption, the values ​​of the area per molecule or associate of surfactants in the adsorption layer, as well as the standard Gibbs free energy of adsorption of surfactant - PAA associates are calculated. In accordance with Rosen's model, the composition of mixed adsorption layers at the solution-air interface is calculated, as well as the parameter of intermolecular interaction in adsorption layers between molecules, cationic and anionic ions surfactants and PAA. The values ​​of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of individual surfactants in aqueous solutions exceed the CMC of the studied surfactants in the presence of PAA, which promotes micelle formation.

Published: March 2022

Background: Molecular identification of a wide range of organisms capable of carrying out biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) are diverse in nature and significantly improves plant growth. Biological N2 fixation reflects the activity of a phylogenetically diverse list of microorganisms. Molecular characterization provides efficient means to identify organisms with the potential of N2 fixation. Applying these techniques in an array of environments has considerably broadened our understanding of the suite of organisms that can carry out BNF. Methods: Thirty-four strains of free living N2 fixing bacterial strains were isolated from diverse plants cultivated in North Gujarat, including wheat, cotton, castor and pearl millet, using a nitrogen-free selective medium. Acetylene reduction assay was used to check the ability of all bacteria to fix nitrogen. Hybridization with nifH probe derived from Azotobacter vinelandii with isolated free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria showed a positive result. The selected strains were characterized by molecular analysis like; ARDRA and 16S rDNA sequencing. Result: Based on molecular characterization 17 strains to known groups of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, including organisms from the genus Azotobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Variovorax, Nocardiodies, Rhodococcus, Mycobacterium, Planococcus, Microbacterium have been identified. One of the strains was identified as unknown bacteria. The potential strains were identified by 16srDNA analysis and also corroborated by morphological and biochemical characterization.
Une dynamique européenne de la wilderness

Published: March 2022

En 2009, l’adoption par le Parlement européen, à la quasi-unanimité, d’une résolution demandant une politique communautaire de la « wilderness », et les débats afférents menés sous les présidences tchèque et belge ont révélé au grand jour une nouvelle sensibilité découlant de l’élargissement à l’Est de l’Union européenne. Mais ceci a été rendu possible par un grand nombre d’initiatives convergentes prises depuis la fin des années 1990 par des associations à visée européenne, travaillant de manière plus ou moins articulée avec la Commission européenne. C’est un long processus, de plus en plus actif et structuré, qui a conduit à ce que la stratégie européenne pour la biodiversité, adoptée en 2020, promeut la protection stricte de toutes les forêts relictuelles qualifiées de « old growth and primary forests » en anglais. La France n’a pas été active au niveau européen sur ce sujet, mais il est néanmoins possible d’y voir lentement monter l’intérêt pour ce sujet depuis les années 1990, mais avec une sensibilité propre.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Nowadays, more attention has been paid to the study of the properties and structure of contaminated clay, while there are few studies on the microstructure of contaminated clay, especially municipal waste contaminated clay. The purpose of this paper is to determine the threshold range by observing and processing the microscopic images of municipal waste contaminated clay with different seepage depths and concentrations. In this study, contaminated clay samples were taken at different depths in a column test and at different concentrations with CaCO3 and CH3COOH, imaged through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and then subjected to binarization. Five steps for determining the pixel thresholds were discussed including: imaging contaminated clay through SEM, preprocessing and binarizing the SEM images with IPP, carrying out morphological processing by using PCAS and determining the pixel threshold value of the SEM images. The apparent porosity ratio of the contaminated clay and the fractal dimension of the clay particles were applied as the parameters for evaluation, the effective threshold range of the image pixel values of the municipal waste contaminated clay was determined to be 110–140. This method is validated by examining the relationship between the pixel threshold value and apparent porosity ratio, the variation in the porosity ratio and apparent porosity ratio with seepage depth, and the different compaction factors with seepage depth.

Abstract
Introduction: Little is known about the impact of dementia in the quality of life (QoL) and overall burden of informal caregivers. The aim of the study is to access the QoL and burden of informal caregivers of PwD and identify its associated factors.Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional design with a non-probabilistic and purposive sample of 187 caregivers of PwD. Data collection included the EQ-5D-3L and the Informal Caregiver Burden Assessment Questionnaire (QASCI). Multivariate linear models were estimated to identify determinants of informal caregivers QoL and burden.Results: The results show that the QoL of the informal caregivers was low, and overall burden was found to be moderate. Different explanatory factors were identified for QoL and burden, however, in both cases the familiar relationship and PwD pain/discomfort were identified as potential explanatory factors.Conclusions: Our findings highlight that multiple factors of the informal caregiver and the PwD were correlated with QoL and burden suggesting that the informal care occurs in a complex environment determined by dyads characteristics that together can result in high or low impact for caregiver’s personal life. It is crucial to include informal caregivers as a priority topic regarding dementia health policies, being essential to promote their wellbeing and prevent serious burden, which might also lead to better care and improved QoL for the PwD as well.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. In this study, we assess the utility of Pentraxin 3 (PTX 3) as a non-invasive predictor of severe fibrosis and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in patients with MAFLD. Methods: 188 patients (114 with MAFLD, 74 with dual aetiology: MAFLD and chronic hepatitis C (CHC) were included. All participants underwent a clinical history and examination, assessment of metabolic parameters, serum level of PTX3, Fib 4 and NFL scores, abdominal ultrasound, and assessment of CIMT. Results: the serum PTX3 was significantly elevated in patients with advanced fibrosis compared with mild/moderate fibrosis ((1.8 vs 1.4, p =0.006). PTX3 level was independently associated with advanced fibrosis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.26, 95% CI 1.008-1.040). In MAFLD, pentraxin 3 level in patients with low fibrosis compared to advanced fibrosis was (1.4 (1-2.1) vs 1.9 (1.3-3.8), p=0.027). A significantly increased CIMT was noted in patients with elevated pentraxin level (3.85 (3.42-4) vs 4.05 (3.7-4.67) p= 0.0001) compared to those with a low level of PTX3. Conclusion: The serum PTX 3 May accurately predicts the presence or absence of advanced fibrosis and CIMT in a MAFLD population. Thus, it could be useful for risk stratification and management.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide, which seriously threatens women's physical and mental health, but currently, there is no classification method for tumor samples based on gene expression profiles for faster breast cancer diagnosis. The study aimed to establish a novel genetic model to distinguish breast cancer patients from the normal population.Results We utilized published expression profiles of breast cancer patients (GSE15852, GSE70905) to identify potential predictive gene panels. A total of 7 differentially expressed genes were identified as predictors. Random forest algorithm and artificial neural network were applied to screen the predictive features and build a model to predict breast cancer. In parallel, we validated this prediction model using expression profiling of a completely independent set of breast cancer patients(GSE70947). The new model was successfully built based on the molecular prognostic scoring system and showed significant predictive value in the training group (AUC = 0.991), which was simultaneously validated in an independent dataset (AUC = 0.817).Conclusions Random forest algorithm combined with artificial neural network successfully constructed a prediction model for breast cancer. The new model can predict breast cancer patients, which is helpful for the diagnosis of breast cancer in the clinic.
