title: MODELING THE INFLUENCE OF BASKETBALL GAME PARAMETERS ON THE FINAL RESULT IN TOKYO 2020

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to ascertain the significance of the basketball game parameters which discriminated between winning and losing teams in matches played. The study sample comprises matches played at the men’s basketball tournament at the XXXII Olympic Games in Tokyo. Four regression models were formed. Due to the size of the sample, the number of explaining variables was reduced using factor analysis, followed by stepwise regression to ascertain the statistical significance of the obtained models summarily, which were then broken down into individual parameters. This study indicates: (1) one of the four set regression models was summarily highly statistically significant; (2) out of the remaining models, two were eliminated due to the presence of multicollinearity, and one model did not exhibit high statistical significance; (3) the final score was most influenced by the variables of two- and three-point shot percentages, number of three-point shots, turnovers, defensive rebounds, and true shooting percentage. The results of the study corroborated the results of other studies which were carried out in recent years, that the game of basketball is trending towards three-point shots and lay-ups, reduction of turnovers when passing, and defensive rebounds have been confirmed to be greatly significant.

title: RELIABILITY ALLOCATION CONSIDERING RISK INDICATORS AND THEIR UNCERTAINTIES THROUGH PROBABILISTIC COMPOSITION OF PREFERENCES

description: ABSTRACT In the development of new designs for systems or improvement of existing ones, the search for effective methods of reliability allocation is fundamental to achieve the minimum requirements. The different allocation methods can involve the consideration of many criteria. Among these criteria, some are quantitative, and others are qualitative, but in both cases, there will be uncertainties associated with the metrics. This article presents an approach based on the probabilistic composition of preferences to allocate the reliability of subsystems considering the uncertainties associated with each criterion considered. The results obtained with application to a case described in the literature demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach to deal with this class of problems.

title: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on unilateral inguinal hernioplasty surgery in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze data from patients hospitalized for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty in Brazil in the year before the COVID-19 pandemic, and during the period of the pandemic. Methods: this is a descriptive study, using data referring to hospitalizations for the surgical procedure of unilateral inguinal hernioplasty in Brazil from March 2019 to February 2020, comparing with data from March 2020 to February 2021. Data were collected from the Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) and the selected variables were: number of hospitalizations, average hospital stay rate and mortality rate. Results: in all, 119,312 hospitalizations were performed for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty in Brazil from March 2019 to February 2020. During the pandemic period, 53,445 hospitalizations were recorded for this procedure. The average hospital stay increased compared to the previous year. The mortality rate recorded in the year before the pandemic was 0.11, while in the period of the pandemic, it was 0.20. Conclusion: It was observed that during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, the number of hospitalizations for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty was reduced by 55,21%. However, there was a significant increase in the mortality rate of this procedure. These results can be explained by the increase in mortality in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and also by the restriction of performing elective surgeries, prioritizing emergency situations, which are more complicated, and consequently, with higher mortality.

title: Impact of Pectoralis Nerve Block (PECS) on postoperative pain in patients submitted to mastectomy with lymphadenectomy

description: ABSTRACT Objective: Breast cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in women worldwide. Surgery has been traditional treatment and, generally, it´s mastectomy with lymphadenectomy, that can causes postoperative pain. Therefore, we seek to study regional anesthesic techniques that can minimize this effect, such as the interpectoral block (PECS). Methods: randomized controlled study with 82 patients with breast cancer who underwent mastectomy with lymphadenectomy from January 2020 to October 2021 in oncology hospital. Interventions: two randomized groups (control - exclusive general anesthesia and PECS group - received PECS block with levobupivacaine/ropivacaine and general anesthesia). We applied a questionnaire with Numeric Rating Scale for pain 24h after surgery. We used Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests, and analyzed the data in R version 4.0.0 (ReBEC). Results: in the PECS group, 50% were pain-free 24h after surgery and in the control group it was 42.86%. The majority who presented pain classified it as mild pain (VAS from 1 to 3) - (42.50%) PECS group and (40.48%) control group (p=0.28). Only 17.50% consumed opioids in the PECS group, similar to the control group with 21.43%. (p=0.65). There was a low rate of complications such as PONV in both groups. In the subgroup analysis, there was no statistical difference between the groups that used levobupivacaine or ropivacaine regarding postoperative pain and opioid consumption. Discussion: the studied group had a low rate of pain in the postoperative period and it influenced the statistical analysis. There wasn´t difference in postoperative pain in groups. Conclusion: was not possible to demonstrate better results with the association of the PECS block with total intravenous analgesia. Need further studies to assess the efficacy of the nerve block.

title: Impact of the Supplementation of Exogenous Protease and Carbohydrase on the Metabolizable Energy and Standardized Ileal Amino Acid Digestibility of Soybean Meals in Two Brazilian Regions

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different exogenous protease and carbohydrase in broiler diets on the nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility (SIAAD) of soybean meals (SBM) in two Brazilian regions (Minas Gerais-MG and Rio Grande do Sul-RS). The total excreta collection of 528 14-d-old chicks was used to determine AMEn in a completely randomized design in a 2 (SBM MG and RS) x 5 (enzyme A, B, C, D and basal diet) + 1 (reference diet, RD) factorial arrangement, totaling 11 treatments, 8 repetitions, and 6 birds per experimental unit. Two experimental treatments (T1 and T6) without enzyme supplementation formulated with SBM MG and RS were used as negative control (NC). The RD without the inclusion of SBM MG and RS was used to correct the nitrogen balance. To determine the SIAAD, ileal content was collected from of broilers and the same experimental design and treatments of the previous trial were used except for the RD, which was replaced with a nitrogen-free diet (NFD) to quantify the excretion of endogenous amino acids. Soybean meal from MG showed the highest levels (p&lt;0.05) of AME and AMEn (3,188 kcal/kg and 2,700 kcal/kg, respectively) in comparison to SBM RS (3,121 kcal/kg and 2,549 kcal/kg, respectively) and, when supplemented with the exogenous enzyme C, also improved the SIAAD (p&lt;0.05), as compared to other enzymes.

title: INNOVATION PERFORMANCE: WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVES?

description: ABSTRACT Studies have pointed to gaps in the understanding of innovation performance in the industrialization of cooperatives. This paper has addressed the innovation performance of Brazilian agricultural cooperatives in economic-financial and social dimensions. For our research, we conducted a semi-structured interview with managers of cooperatives that adopted the industrialization of products. In the economic-financial dimension, cooperatives increased the offer/variety of products and gained new markets, while, in the social dimension, the industrialization of new products for the cooperative, or for the market. These may affect the sense of pride in belonging to the cooperative due to the availability of a manufactured product for purchase that resulted from the commodity produced by the cooperative members. This study improves the understanding about the innovation performance model, and shows how cooperatives have addressed this topic. Such an understanding can assist in the development of strategies for innovation in cooperatives. The findings contribute to the understanding of innovation in industrialization, and add efforts in research on innovation in emerging economies.

title: Insecticide activity of a peptidase inhibitor isolated from Anadenanthera macrocarpa seeds against Anagasta kuehniella

description: ABSTRACT Protease inhibitors (PIs) are a part of the plant defense system and reduce the proteolytic activity of the digestive enzymes of insect pests. The current study aimed to isolate and characterize an inhibitor of trypsin (AmTI) within the seed of Anadenanthera macrocarpa (Benth) (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae). Moreover, we tried to assess the defense mechanism of the larvae of Anagasta kuehniella against this inhibitor. Protein seed extracts were purified using Sephadex G-50 and trypsin-Sepharose columns. Electrophoresis revealed the molecular weight of the inhibitor to be 25 kDa. The stability evaluation demonstrated that the inhibitor was not denatured at temperatures of up to 60 °C, pH 2-10, and concentrations of up to 100 mM dithiothreitol for one hour. The inhibitor reacted in a 1:1 ratio with bovine trypsin with an inhibition constant [Ki] = 2.517 ´ 10-8. Incorporating the inhibitor in a 1 mg per 100 mg proportion of artificial diet offered to A. kuehniella larvae led to a significant difference in the weight and survival of larvae of the fourth instar compared to the control. AmTI acted on the enzymatic activities of trypsin and chymotrypsin, not allowing until the fourth larval instar, A. kuehniella, to create adaptations against the inhibitor, as it had a simultaneous effect on larval weight and mortality. Therefore, a new trypsin inhibitor showing inhibitory activity against the digestive enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from A. kuehniella was isolated, indicating that these activities are correlated with the deleterious effects of this insect.
