title: Genetic and Environmental Effects on Tonic Immobility Duration of Red-Winged Tinamou Applying Survival Analysis

description: ABSTRACT Fear behavioral studies provide knowledge on animal welfare, and fearful behaviors can be used as selection criteria of individuals adapted to intensive rearing system. The survival analysis methodology was applied to estimate tonic immobility (TI) duration, as an indicator of fear, of red-winged tinamous (Rhynchotus rufescens) reared in captivity and to determine if TI is genetically influenced. A number of 539 birds born between 2006 and 2010 were evaluated. The exploratory data analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier estimate (KM), and the covariates were then fit to a Cox model, considering month of observation nested within year of birth and body weight as fixed effects and the random effect of sire as frailty term. In order to predict genetic values and to estimate heritability, the model of proportional hazards was applied, using a Weibull distribution as the baseline hazard. Birds born in the last year presented shorter TI duration than those born in the previous year, as shown by the survival KM curves, indicating a decline in fearfulness from one year to the next. The Cox analysis detected that hazard function was reduced as body weight increased. The frailty term was significant (p&lt;0.05), showing that sires induced variation in the TI duration of the offspring. Heritability estimated as 0.37, indicating the influence of additive genes. These findings suggest that the selection of for short TI duration may allow reducing fearfulness of a red-winged tinamou population after some generations.

title: Effects of additional external load manipulation on perceptual and physiological responses during exergame

description: Abstract Aims: This study tested whether performing exergames with and without additional external load could induce to different internal load demand for young adults. Methods: Fifteen young women (24.4 ± 4.06 years) participated in the study. Electromyography (EMG) activity, heart rate (HR) and overall and local rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were determined in “Just Dance” and “Ski” exergames without additional external load and with additional external load of 5% of body mass attached bilaterally to the ankles in “Just Dance” and using a weight vest in “Ski”. Results: EMG, HR and overall RPE presented similar responses between loads in both exergames (p&gt;.05). However, local RPE differentiate internal load only in “Just Dance”, with higher values with additional load (with additional load: 11.2 ± 2.1 RPE; without additional load: 10.3 ± 1.4 RPE; p = .037). Conclusion: Therefore, performing exergames with an additional external load of 5% of young women body mass did not induce different internal load demand in “Just Dance” and “Ski” exergames compared to performing such games without external load. However, the greater local RPE in “Just Dance” exergame after adding the external load suggests that a higher amount of load (i.e., &gt; 5% of body mass) to this population may generate different internal load demand.

title: Long Term Cardiovascular Outcome Based on Aspirin and Clopidogrel Responsiveness Status in Young ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction Patients

description: Abstract Background: A subset of patients who take antiplatelet therapy continues to have recurrent cardiovascular events which may be due to antiplatelet resistance. The effect of low response to aspirin or clopidogrel on prognosis was examined in different patient populations. Objective: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of poor response to dual antiplatelet therapy and its relationship with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in young patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: In our study, we included 123 patients under the age of 45 with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous intervention. A screening procedure to determine both aspirin and clopidogrel responsiveness was performed on the fifth day of admission. We followed a 2x2 factorial design and patients were allocated to one of four groups, according to the presence of aspirin and/or clopidogrel resistance. Patients were followed for a three-year period. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: We identified 48% of resistance against one or more antiplatelet in young patients with STEMI. More MACE was observed in patients with poor response to dual platelet therapy or to clopidogrel compared those with adequate response to the dual therapy (OR: 1.875, 1.144-3.073, p &lt; 0.001; OR: 1.198, 0.957-1.499, p = 0.036, respectively). After adjustment for potential confounders, we found that poor responders to dual therapy had 3.3 times increased odds for three-year MACE than those with adequate response to the dual therapy. Conclusion: Attention should be paid to dual antiplatelet therapy in terms of increased risk for cardiovascular adverse events especially in young patients with STEMI.

title: Training in Research Methods in Graduate Education: Multi-Methods Approaches for Today´s Research Needs

description: ABSTRACT The article discusses the importance of teaching qualitative and quantitative research methods as complementary approaches depending on the objectives of the researcher. We argue that today scientific knowledge is not just a object of universities and the academic world but rather scientific knowledge since the 19th Century is part of a process of formulating public policies and in the 20th Century scientific knowledge becomes a key element in the delimitation of policies and for this reason there is an important development in the quantitative approaches precisely in order to be able to generalize findings to a population or population segment, the objective of policy, since the intent of public policy is to reach collectivities and thus the need for scientific data on those collectivities. This article shows the double tendency in the history of social research methods: on the one hand, the mere interest in academics and on the other hand, the needs of governments to have empirical data about their peoples. This double trajectory of social research methods will become integrated in the 20th Century between the First and Second World Wars when governments look to universities to train applied researchers in research methodologies more appropriate for studies that provide inputs to the formulation and evaluation of public policy.

title: Analysis of the efficiency of strengthening design models for reinforced concrete columns

description: Abstract This paper develops a comparative analysis of the main design models used for predicting the strengthening of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial compression. The study evaluated four strengthening design models with concrete jackets and eleven strengthening design models with wrapping in Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). All models consider the effect of confinement provided by the transverse steel reinforcement and the CFRP sheet wrapping on the gain in resistance of the column. For the validation, a database was formulated containing 135 experimental results of columns tested by several researches, which was used to analyze all design models and identify which was best for expressing the behavior of the strengthened column. At the end of the study, one confinement design model with transverse reinforcement and eleven design models with confinement provided by CFRP sheet wrapping and transverse steel reinforcement which showed the best resistance predictions were selected.

title: Alternative materials as support medium of anaerobic filters for the treatment of synthetic sanitary sewage

description: ABSTRACT The type of material used as packing in anaerobic filters may be a determinant factor in the treatment efficiency, so the evaluation of new materials is important. Thus, the objective of this study was to study the behavior of three upflow anaerobic filters, filled with charcoal, clay pottery and tire rubber, in the treatment of synthetic wastewater with glucose as substrate. The filter, in bench scale (1.3 L), was operated at a HRT of 8 and 4 hours, in two phases. The performance of the filters, in terms of pH, total alkalinity and bicarbonate and volatile acids was stable during the two operational phases. The best filter in terms of COD removal efficiency was the one with activated carbon, 94 and 81%, in Phases I and II, respectively, followed by tire rubber filter, 88 and 63%. The lowest efficiency obtained was the ceramic clay filter, with 81 and 61%, in Phases I and II, respectively. The main morphologies found were bacilli, cocci, filaments, Methanosaeta sp. and Methanosarcina sp. The differences obtained between filters are related to the different characteristics of each material, and the differences between phases are due to the hydraulic load increase and subsequent cellular retention time decrease, as well as an eventual temperature difference.

title: Laying Performance and Egg Quality of Japanese Quails Fed Diets Containing Castor Meal and Enzyme Complex

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of diets formulated with corn plus soybean meal (CSM) or with 21% autoclaved castor meal (ACM), with the addition of two enzyme complexes (EC1 and EC2), on the performance and egg quality of laying quail. Two hundred and sixteen quails were selected by egg production and weight uniformity and distributed in a completely randomized design with six treatments (in a 2 × 3 cross-factorial arrangement) and six replicates with six birds each. Three CSM and three ACM diets supplemented withEC1, EC2, or unsupplemented were established. The trial lasted three cycles of 21 days. Feed intake, laying rate, egg mass, feed conversion per egg mass, and feed conversion per dozen eggs did not differ. The use of ACM diet reduced egg (EW), yolk (YW), and eggshell (SW) weights, egg specific gravity and increased yolk color. However, EW and YW were similar among quails fed diets containing CSM and ACM when supplemented with CE1.The use of enzyme complex containing xylanase, b-glucanase, and phytase is recommended when 21% autoclaved castor mealis included in the diet of laying quails.

title: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SCIENTIFIC-POLITICAL-BUSINESS DISCOURSE IN BRAZIL AND RUSSIA

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyse a relatively recent type of discourse: the scientific-political-business discourse, and to show examples of it in two countries, Brazil and Russia. The paper approaches the dialogue of contemporary scientific discourse along with other spheres of human activity – those of politics and business – by analysing topics discussed in two forums of economic development (in São Paulo and St. Petersburg). The research is based on Bakhtin’s ideas about dialogue and on the discursive and comparative analysis carried out by CLESTHIA axe sens et discours, a research group from the University of Sorbonne Nouvelle, in Paris. One of the concepts developed by this group is the tertium comparationis (or element of comparison), which is used in this work. The results point to the appropriation, for business discourse, of the authority conferred to science to legitimize business practices, and also to the ideological similarity – a result of globalized productive relations established in both countries.

title: Magnetic resonance imaging-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy: experience and preliminary results of 205 procedures

description: Abstract Objective: To demonstrate the frequency of malignancy and histological characteristics of lesions in patients submitted to vacuum-assisted breast biopsy guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsies performed between April 2008 and December 2016, in which we analyzed clinical and epidemiological data, as well as the BI-RADS classification and histopathological results. We compared nodules and non-nodular enhancements, in terms of their correlation with malignancy, using chi-square test. Results: Among 215 cases referred for MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, the procedure was contraindicated in 10 cases (5%) and was technically feasible in the remaining 205 (95%). Non-nodular enhancements were observed in 135 cases (66%), and nodules were observed in 70 (34%), with a mean diameter of 2.2 cm (range, 0.5-9.6 cm) and 0.97 cm (range, 0.5-2.2 cm), respectively. Of the 205 lesions analyzed, 43 (21%) were malignant, 129 (63%) were benign, and 33 (16%) were classified as high-risk lesions. The most common histological findings were invasive ductal carcinoma and, in high-risk cases, lobular neoplasia. There was no significant difference between nodules and non-nodular enhancements in terms of the rate of malignancy (p = 0.725). Conclusion: In our sample, the overall malignancy rate was 21%. However, to improve the assessment of these results, it is necessary to correlate them with the surgical data and with data from the follow-up of benign cases.
