title: A generalized finite element interface method for mesh reduction of composite materials simulations

description: Abstract This paper proposes interface and polynomial enrichments using the generalized finite element method (IGFEM) for the material interface in composite materials without matching the finite element mesh to the boundaries of different materials. Applications in structural members such as laminated beams and heterogeneous composites (matrix and inclusions) employing coarse and fine meshes are employed. The results were compared with conventional GFEM and analytical solutions. Verification and simulations proved the efficiency of the suggested framework for solving problems with discontinuous gradients resulting from a material interface. The proposed method allows flexibility in mesh generation for composite materials by letting the interface be embedded in an element without the need to match the mesh to the material interface. This improves the computational efficiency over conventional methods.

title: Attitudes of Religious People on Marriage and Adoption by LGBs

description: Abstract The goal of the present work was to analyze the attitudes of people from different religious affiliations in regard to marriage and adoption of children by LGBs. A questionnaire was answered by 202 people with a mean age of 34.2 (SD = 11.61), affiliated with the religions of Catholic, Protestant, Inclusive Protestant, Spiritist and religions of African origin. The questionnaire contained measurements of religiosity and prejudice, as well as open questions regarding the theme. The results indicated that the majority of participants displayed favorable attitudes towards these rights. However, a part of the sample presented unfavorable attitudes, mainly the Catholics and the Protestants who were politically aligned to the extreme right. These findings suggest obstacles towards the maintenance of LGB’s rights.

title: New topical microemulsions of etofenamate as sufficient management of osteoarthritis

description: Abstract In this study, microemulsions containing etofenamate were prepared and evaluated as dermal delivery carriers. The developed microemulsions consist of oleic acid, Span 80, Tween 20, Cremophor EL, Transcutol and ethanol. The percentage of etofenamate loading in the microemulsions was 5% (w/w). The characterization of formulations included droplet size, zeta potential, pH, conductivity, PDI, refractive index and viscosity. Moreover, ex vivo penetration study was carried out using mice abdominal skin. The developed formulations were analyzed for their cytotoxicity via MTT assay and tested for their anti-inflammatory properties opposed to LPS-stimulated nitrite prοduction in RAW 264.7 cells. As ideal formulation, M2ETF, was chosen due to its greater permeation, lower penetration as well as higher anti-inflammatory activity compared to other microemulsions.

title: Application of Accumula ted Heat Units in The Control of The Olive Moth, Prays Oleae (BERN.) (LEP., PRAYDIDAE), in Olive Groves in Southern Spain

description: Abstract Olive moth, Prays oleae, is one of the most important phytophagous of olive cultivation in the Mediterranean basin. Its control is based on the application of chemical insecticides, sometimes combined with the release of natural enemies. The need for application is established according to population thresholds. How-ever, the wide range of environmental conditions requires the adoption of comple-mentary elements that allow the adequate time of applications to the phenological stages responsible for the damage. During the years 2013, 2014 and 2015, weekly observations of the insect phenology have been performed in 10 plots of olive trees at different altitudes (253 m to 1017 m) in the province of Jaén (southern Spain), recording daily temperature variations at 4-hour intervals. This has allowed deter-mining the thermal integrals for the three insect generations and to specify the in-fluence of the altitude on its development periods, more especially in those corre-sponding to the philophagous and carpophagous generations. This knowledge has allowed the development of a model-chronogram for the adjustment of treatment dates based on crop altitude.

title: Inorganic element profile of medicinal Cannabis extracts consumed by pediatric patients

description: Abstract The increasing number of reports of web-based experiences on the success of Cannabis-based therapies in controlling seizures in children suffering from refractory epilepsy have led to efforts by governments and associations to a recent change in legislation. The Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) allowed the import of Cannabis extracts in 2015 and the registration of the first industrialized drug in 2017. In 2019, ANVISA approved procedures for the granting of a Sanitary Authorization for manufacturing and imports, establishing marketing requirements, prescribing, dispensing, monitoring and surveillance of cannabis products for medicinal purposes. Similar to other consumer products of health concern, is necessary to ensure the quality and health safety of these products worldwide. The aim of the present study to evaluate the presence of As, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, Co, Cr and Mn present in Cannabis extracts and resins used in the treatment of pediatric patients with neurological diseases. Samples (48 national and 24 imported) were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry - ICP-MS. The imported extracts presented more homogeneous inorganic element values, while national extracts showed varied levels, thus indicating the highest health risk.

title: Cannabis and cannabinoids as an alternative remedy in metabolic syndrome

description: Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS), an epidemic defined as a group of interconnected physiological, biochemistry, clinical, and metabolic factors, directly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, and death. MetS therapy includes diet, physical exercise, and a poly-pharmacological intervention. Cannabis is mainly recognized for its recreational uses and has several medical applications for neurological diseases, due to its hypnotic, anxiolytic, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant activities. Although several clinical observations in Cannabis smokers suggest metabolic effects, its utility in metabolic disorders is unclear. This review aims to determine under what conditions Cannabis might be useful in the treatment of MetS. Cannabis contains 120 phytocannabinoids, of which Δ9-THC mediates its psychoactive effects. Cannabinoids exert biological effects through interactions with the endocannabinoid system, which modulates several physiologic and metabolic pathways through cannabinoid receptors (CB1/CB2). Signaling through both receptors inhibits neurotransmitter release. In general, endocannabinoid system stimulation in Cannabis smokers and Δ9-THC signaling through CB1 have been implicated in MetS development, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. In contrast, CB1 antagonists and non-psychotropic phytocannabinoids like cannabidiol reduce these effects through interactions with both cannabinoid and non-cannabinoid receptors. These pharmacological approaches represent a source of new therapeutic agents for MetS. However, more studies are necessary to support the therapeutic potential of Cannabis and cannabinoids in metabolic abnormalities.

title: Variation of the osmotic potential and its effects on water balance in diferente species of bryophytes

description: ABSTRACT The primitiveness of bryophytes in relation to water balance promotes quick responses. When subjected to conditions of variation in the availability of water in their surroundings. Such responses (resistance or sensitivity to desiccation) can allow them to survive in different types of environments. In this work, the effect of varying the osmotic potential of the medium on the water balance of three species (Campylopus filifolius (Hornsch.) Mitt., Philonotis cernua (Wilson) Griffin & W.R.Buck, Amblystegium varium (Hedw.) Lindb.) of bryophytes was evaluated. For that, specimens (n = 150 gametophytes) were placed in environments (Petri dishes) containing different osmotic concentrations (0 MPa; -0.2 MPa; -0.4 MPa; -0.6 MPa; -0.8 MPa; -1.0 Mpa). As expected, a negative effect of water potential on the water content was observed in the three species evaluated, although each with its own characteristics. Significant differences were found between different species, between different osmotic potentials and over time. C. filifolius was more sensitive to water loss, while P. cernua and A. varium were more resistant. Morphostructural characteristics of each species, probably, were responsible for such responses, which justifies, including the environment of their occurrence (C. filifolius - epiphyte in a highly variable environment in relation to water availability, while P. cernua and A varium - rupicolous near a water source). Thus, the rapid responses in relation to the variation of the osmotic potential of the medium make B. filifolia a species well adapted to water stress conditions.

title: IT PROFESSIONALS IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL DURING A PROTRACTED CRISIS

description: This paper analyzes the new Information Technology (IT) segment in the Brazilian Northeast from the changes and trends brought about by the 2015 economic crisis, subsequently aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic. It focuses particularly on labor status indicators among IT professionals in the region. To do so, it examines empirical studies previously carried out and secondary data, prioritizing the Annual Service Survey (PAS) and the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNADC), both from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), with greater emphasis on the Annual Social Information Report (Rais). Results showed that, both at the national and regional levels, the crisis negatively impacted this segment, despite its stock of formal jobs having continued its growth trajectory.
