title: Trypanosoma cruzi genetic diversity: impact on transmission cycles and Chagas disease

description: Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease (ChD), exhibits remarkable biological and genetic diversity, along with eco-epidemiological complexity. In order to facilitate communication among researchers aiming at the characterisation of biological and epidemiological aspects of T. cruzi, parasite isolates and strains were partitioned into seven discrete typing units (DTUs), TcI-TcVI and TcBat, identifiable by reproducible genotyping protocols. Here we present the potential origin of the genetic diversity of T. cruzi and summarise knowledge about eco-epidemiological associations of DTUs with mammalian reservoirs and vectors. Circumstantial evidence of a connection between T. cruzi genotype and ChD manifestations is also discussed emphasising the role of the host’s immune response in clinical ChD progression. We describe genomic aspects of DTUs focusing on polymorphisms in multigene families encoding surface antigens that play essential functions for parasite survival both in the insect vector and the mammalian host. Such antigens most probably contributed to the parasite success in establishing infections in different hosts and exploring several niches. Gaps in the current knowledge and challenges for future research are pointed out.

title: Structure, Shape and Epitaxy of Supported Magnetite Nanoparticles

description: The experiment will elucidate on the atomic structure, shape, facet orientations and epitaxy of magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) grown on alpha-Al2O3(0001) using grazing incidence x-ray diffraction under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Exposing the NPs to formic acid (HCOOH) allows for tracking of adsorption-induced structural changes inside the particles and at the interface between the organic molecules and the oxide NP surfaces. The interaction at the interface is argued to be the key element for the exceptional mechanical stability of a new class of nanocomposite materials, assembled from magnetite NPs linked by carboxylic acids. A detailed atomistic understanding of the magnetite surface/ organic acid interface is vital to further tailor the mechanical properties of such novel nanocomposite materials.

title: Unravelling K promoter effects in Cu based catalysts for the reverse water gas shift reaction.

description: Syngas synthesis via reverse gas shift reaction is a promising approach to integrate CO2 in industrial processes. Insight into catalyst design is therefore required to develop highly active and selective catalysts that minimize side reactions, such as CO2 methanation. Potassium is an effective promoter for Cu-based catalysts, however, its promotional effect has not been fully elucidated, i.e. the nature of the Cu-K interaction and the reducing effect of K over Cu. The addition of K has led to greatly enhanced activity, selectivity and stability of the Cu catalysts during RWGS reaction, favouring syngas production. The unique capabilities of BM28/ID26 beamlines allow us to study the evolution of oxidation state and atomic coordination of K and Cu in-situ as a function of the gas feed composition (% of H2) and support material (SiO2 or C). We aim to obtain detailed information concerning the K-Cu interaction, correlating it to the observed performances during RWGS reaction.

title: Bioeconomic evaluation of pasture sheep finishing using castor bean cake

description: Abstract This study evaluates the economic viability of sheep finishing systems on irrigated Tamani grass pasture under continuous stocking, using castor bean cake. Four production systems were simulated: sheep supplemented with soybean meal on pasture fertilized with urea (SMUR), sheep supplemented with detoxified castor bean cake on pasture fertilized with urea (CCdUR), sheep supplemented with soybean meal on pasture fertilized with in natura castor bean cake (SMCC) and sheep supplemented with detoxified castor bean cake on pasture fertilized with in natura castor bean cake (CCdCC). A minimum unit of 3 hectares and an average slaughter weight of 28 kg were considered. A minimum selling price, at which the least profitable system would become profitable, was stablished: US$ 2.38 and US$ 4.45/kg per kilogram of body weight and carcass weight equivalent, adopting a minimum rate of return of 3.5% per year, based on the Selic rate. The costs for organic fertilization were 46.01% higher than in systems using chemical fertilization. The selling of live animals was not attractive in any of the systems evaluated, and the opposite was observed for the selling of carcasses and non-carcass components. System SMUR proved to be more profitable, with a gain of US$ 0.53 per kg carcass.

title: PREVENTION OF JOINT INJURIES IN OUTDOOR SPORTS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF COVID-19

description: ABSTRACT Introduction With the normalization of the prevention and control of the covid-19 epidemic, the proportion of outdoor sports in sports has gradually increased, but the risks have increased, resulting in joint injuries. Objective Explore the prevention of joint injuries in outdoor sports under the influence of covid-19. Methods 88 men and 64 women with ankle injuries, 45 men and 33 women with knee injuries, for a total of 133 men and 97 women volunteers were investigated by questionnaire, which included joint injuries, causes of injuries, and treatment methods after joint injuries, and the data were analyzed. Results Currently, most joint injuries in outdoor sports belong to minor injuries, which can recover after some minor readjustments and will not cause much impact on the sportsmen. However, there are also some serious injuries. Conclusion The athletes themselves must be fully prepared, including the use of protective gear and equipment, psychological adjustment, and learning knowledge about sports protection. Coaches and volunteers should give scientifically based and sensible guidance according to the actual situation of the sportsmen to reduce the incidence of joint injuries as much as possible. Level of Evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

title: RESISTANCE TRAINING APPLIED TO THE TEACHING OF KUNG FU

description: ABSTRACT Introduction Many studies have explored different training methods to improve cardiorespiratory capacity, ensuring better oxygen demand to help students develop better sports skills and teaching outcomes. Objective Explore the effects of applying resistance training on kung fu teaching. Methods 40 kung fu athletes were selected as research volunteers. They were randomly divided into experimental and control groups; both were trained in a cardiopulmonary resistance protocol for 8 weeks, three times a week, using a breathing trainer. The control group trained at 20%, while the experimental group had their training at 50% of full capacity. Results The maximal inspiratory pressure, FEV1 / FVC, and mvv15 of the lung function indices increased significantly in the experimental group; the forced capacity and maximal ventilation of the oxygen uptake capacity indices also increased significantly. The blood oxygen saturation and the blood flow perfusion index of the oxygen utilization capacity indices had significant differences between the groups; the central balance and flexibility indices also showed significant differences. Conclusion After cardiopulmonary endurance training, the athletes’ capacity was significantly improved, inferring a benefit in the quality of kung fu teaching. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
