title: Morphological, pathogenic and genetic diversity of Botrytis cinerea Pers. in blackberry cultivations in Colombia

description: Abstract The Andean blackberry (Rubus glaucus Benth) is one of the most important fruits with the greatest commercial projection in Colombia. The factors that most affect its production are the attack of diseases and the scarce information about its control. One of the most limiting diseases of the crop is the gray mold, produced by the fungus Botrytis cinerea. This research presents the diversity of B. cinerea isolates from fields of andean blackberry in Colombia, based on the morphological, pathogenic and genetic characteristics allowing broadening the knowledge of the phytopathogen for subsequent management measures. Andean blackberry fruits were collected with characteristic symptoms of gray mold in farms located in eight producing areas of Colombian Andean region. A total of 50 samples were analyzed finding two types of growth, miceliar and sclerocial, differences in the layout and size of the sclerotia, as well as differences in the daily growth of the mycelium. Regarding genetic characterization with microsatellite markers, it was shown that genetic diversity is concentrated within populations and that there is a tendency to group by geographical origin. With the pathogenicity tests, the two most pathogenic isolates were selected and it was found that, although the four possible genotypes were found with the transposable elements (Vacuma, Transposa, Boty, Flipper), none of them presented high resistance to the fungicide fenhexamide.

title: Assessment of chemical, nutritional and bioactive properties of Annona crassiflora and Annona muricata wastes

description: Abstract Recently, many researches have become available in order to value agroindustrial waste and by-products through processes that exploit these wastes and transform them into new value-added products. Thus, this study aimed to assess the chemical composition (proximate analysis, mineral profile, pectic substances, carbohydrates), fatty acid profile, and bioactive compounds of two major exotic fruit wastes (seeds), marolo and soursop, largely found in one of the richest Brazilian biomes, the Savannah. Soursop and marolo seeds showed significant fat (295.1 and 311.3 g kg-1 d.b., respectively), protein (149.9 and 188.7 g kg-1 d.b., respectively), and fiber (426.7 and 351.1 g kg-1 d.b., respectively) contents. Marolo seeds were found to be the richest in phenolic compounds (32043.1 mg GAE kg-1 d.b.) and also presented the highest DPPH• scavenging activity (91.25%). The major phenolic compound found in marolo and soursop seeds was rutin. Among the fatty acids found in both seeds, the ones with unsaturated chains were predominant, such as oleic acid (48.54% for marolo, and 40.35% for soursop seeds). The seeds analyzed were found to be sources of Cu and Mg. Marolo and soursop seeds were found to be a good source of nutritional compounds and an alternative to obtain compounds of interest to be used in the development of food produce, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products.

title: INTEGRATING REAL TIME OPTIMIZATION AND MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF A CRUDE DISTILLATION UNIT

description: Abstract This work reports the integration of Real Time Optimization and Model Predictive Control in the multi-layer control structure of an existing Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) of an oil refinery. The MPC considers output control zones and targets for the inputs or outputs. Both the infinite horizon and the finite output horizon controllers were tested. The plant results show that the infinite horizon controller tends to perform similarly or better then the finite horizon MPC when the CDU system needs to operate at quite different conditions. Although the dynamic layer based on the infinite horizon controller is nominally stable for any set of tuning parameters, in practice, it is observed that the interaction between the layers of the control structure associated to model uncertainty may result in oscillations in some variables that fail to converge to the optimum operation point. This problem can be solved with the retuning of the intermediary layer (target calculation layer), which indicates that the frequent tuning of the MPC is recommended and should be performed in conjunction with tuning of the intermediary layer.

title: Team-based learning in Physical therapy undergraduate course: experiment report

description: Abstract Introduction: Active learning methods have shown positive results, mainly in terms of content learning and the development of communication skills, critical thinking, and collaborative practice. However, they are still unknown by most professors teaching in Physical therapy courses. Objective: To present the report of an experiment based on the application of the Team-Based Learning (TBL) method, in the Physical therapy undergraduate course. Method: This is a report of an experiment comparing traditional teaching and TBL with 61 students in the Physical therapy course. A comparison was performed between means, medians, approval ratio and satisfaction of the students who experienced the active methodology. Results: The results showed that the final average of the summative evaluations of the TBL group (71.9 ± 10.5 points) was statistically different (p = 0.003) from that of the traditional teaching group (63.7 ± 9.92 points). The proportion of approved students was not statistically different between the groups, 92.0% and 88.6%, respectively (p = 0.478). Conclusion: The overall satisfaction was that the method, although tiresome, according to the students, favored a greater understanding of the content and motivation to study. The study presents innovative results regarding the application of the team-based teaching method to the Physical therapy course.

title: Phosphate and nitrogen fertilization in the production of Barueiro (Dipteryx alata Vog.) seedlings

description: Abstract Barueiro (Dipteryx alata Vog.), a fruit tree native to the Brazilian cerrado, has aroused the interest of producers and consumers due to its almond highly appraised and valued by local markets. To obtain quality barueiro seedlings, balanced fertilization is required, with special attention to the supply of phosphorus and nitrogen, essential for seedling growth and establishment in the field. The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth of barueiro seedlings produced with different phosphate and nitrogen concentrations in Nova Xavantina – MT. The experiment was conducted at the seedling nursery of the Mato Grosso State University (UNEMAT), Campus of Nova Xavantina - MT, from December 2017 to April 2018. The experimental design was randomized blocks (DBC), in a 5 × 2 factorial scheme, corresponding to 5 phosphorus concentrations and 2 nitrogen concentrations, with 10 treatments, 4 blocks and 10 plants per plot, totalizing 400 seedlings. The applied concentrations were 0, 150, 300, 450 and 600 mg kg-1 P2O5 and 0 and 250 mg kg-1 N. The following variables were evaluated: plant height, plant stem diameter, number of leaves, number of leaflets, fresh and shoot and root dry mass and Dickson’s Quality Index. Significant interaction between phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations for all traits evaluated was observed, except for root dry mass. The greatest growth of barueiro seedlings was obtained when the highest phosphorus concentration (600 mg kg-1de P2O5) was used, associated to nitrogen fertilization of 250 mg kg-1. There was no isolated effect of phosphate fertilization on the growth of barueiro seedlings without nitrogen application.

title: Does the use of hedge derivatives improve the credit ratings of Brazilian companies?

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that may explain the attribution of credit ratings to firms, focusing especially on the impact of derivatives. The gap explored by this research lies in the novelty of analyzing how rating agencies perceive the effects caused by information related to derivatives use by Brazilian publicly-traded companies. In addition, this study shifts the previous findings from stock analysts to rating agencies, reinforcing the discussion about the complexity of derivatives in the credit risk assessment process. This research topic is currently of interest due to the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 (Accounting Pronouncements Committee - CPC - 48), which came into effect in January of 2018. Based on these rules, the main novelty presented in this article was its verification of the effect of the derivatives used by companies in order to hedge their credit ratings, thus helping to fill the empirical gap that exists in the literature from the area. The results found challenge the theory that the use of hedge derivatives is viewed positively by investors. However, although no significant statistical impact was found on the ratings of companies that use derivatives, it was observed that the companies that use derivatives and have the highest notional values were those that received the best ratings from Moody’s. With this we broadened the debate about the complexity of the information linked to derivatives use. In the study, 2,090 ratings attributed to non-financial companies with stocks traded on the Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão [B]³ exchange were examined between 2010 and 2016 by using panel data analysis, which lends robustness to the analysis and findings. Contrary to the central hypothesis of this research, the results presented here show that, in Brazil, companies that use derivative financial instruments for hedging do not receive the best credit ratings from rating agencies. One of the main contributions of this study is the evidence that Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s were unable to consistently incorporate information related to derivatives use, thus broadening the discussion about the complexity of these financial instruments.

title: Anti-adipogenic effect of a turmeric extract-loaded nanoemulsion in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and high fat diet-fed mice

description: Abstract We investigated the effects of a turmeric extract-loaded nanoemulsion (TENE) on lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and in mice fed a high fat diet (HFD). The accumulation of intracellular lipid in 3T3-L1 adipocytes was significantly inhibited by TENE, according to Oil red O and Nile Red staining. This inhibitory effect of TENE on adipocyte differentiation was associated with lower expression levels of the adipocyte-specific genes, PPARγ, aP2, and C/EBPα. In HepG2 hepatocytes, TENE attenuated palmitate-induced intracellular accumulation of lipid and ROS. In mice fed a HFD, TENE significantly reduced the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL and increased HDL levels. These effects of TENE were accompanied by reductions in the expression of PPARγ, aP2, and C/EBPα in adipose tissue and smaller epididymal adipocytes. These results suggest that TENE inhibits adipogenesis by reducing expression of adipogenic transcription factors, thereby substantiating the potential to ameliorate metabolic disorders related to obesity.

title: Effect of drying methods on long term storage of hazelnut

description: Abstract This research was conducted to determine the chemical traits of Ordu Levant hazelnuts that were dried with sun–drying [on concrete ground (CG), grass ground (GG)], or in drying machine (DM) during 24 months of storage (2014-2016) at 20-25 °C and 70-90% relative humidity. Drying process continued 39 h for CG and GG, and 23 h for DM. Sun–drying were performed in similar sunshine and environmental conditions. Nut quality traits in protein, lipid, moisture contents, water activity, free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), rancimat value (RV), and amount of aflatoxin were investigated during storage. The lowest FFA (0.35%, oleic acid) was recorded for GG, and the lowest PV (0.35 meqO2 kg–1 ) was recorded for CG. In addition, DM method contained much more RV (3.87 h) than those dried by CG and GG. After 24 months of storage, kernel FFA (0.38%, oleic acid) and RV (3.59 h) were lower than the acceptable limit values after storage (0.40% and 3 h, respectively). In conclusion, in–shell hazelnuts can be stored at an ambient temperature for 24 months without there being any significant changes in chemical traits. Overall, DM appears to be a promising strategy for hazelnut drying.

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the process of content adaptation and validation of the Geriatric Institutional Assessment Profile (GIAP) for nurses working in the health care for older adults in Brazilian hospitals. Method: methodological study conducted in five stages: initial translation, synthesis of initial translation, back translation, evaluation by committee of judges, and pre-test for cultural adaptation of the instrument. Results: the instrument evaluation had good agreement between the judges, with general content validity of 0.94. The items of the translated version evaluated as unsatisfactory by the judges were reformulated from the professionals’ considerations in each group. Thirty-one subjects participated in the study. They considered the instrument easy-to-understand and suggested minor adjustments in some items. Conclusion: the content of the Brazilian version of the GIAP is considered adapted and validated, with potential use in hospital institutions. The next stage will be to submit the instrument to the evaluation process of its psychometric properties for use in Brazilian populations.

title: Carbohydrate antigen 125 predicts pulmonary congestion in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

description: Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) has long been used as an ovarian cancer biomarker. However, because it is not specific for ovarian cells, CA125 could also be used to monitor congestion and inflammation in heart disease. Acute heart failure (HF) is used to identify patients with a worse prognosis in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to determine the association of CA125 with acute HF in STEMI and to compare CA125 with N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) with a cross-sectional study. At admission, patients were examined to define Killip class and then underwent coronary angioplasty. Blood samples, preferably taken in the hemodynamic ward, were centrifuged (1500 g for 15 min at ambient temperature) and stored at −80°C until biomarker assays were performed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of congestion. Patients in Killip class ≥II were in the congestion group and those with Killip

title: G-SIVAR: A GLOBAL SPATIAL INDICATOR BASED ON VARIOGRAM

description: Abstract: Among the exploratory spatial data analysis tools, there are indicators of spatial association, which measure the degree of spatial dependence of analysed data and can be applied to quantitative data. Another procedure available is geostatistics, which is based on the variogram, describing quantitatively and qualitatively the spatial structure of a variable. The aim of this paper is to use the concept of the variogram to develop a global indicator of spatial association (Global Spatial Indicator Based on Variogram - G-SIVAR). The G-SIVAR indicator has a satisfactory performance for spatial association, with sensibility for anisotropy cases. Because the indicator is based on geostatistics, it is appropriate for quantitative and qualitative data. The developed indicator is derived from theoretical global variogram, providing more details of the spatial structure of the data. The G-SIVAR indicator is based on spatial dissimilarity, while traditional indexes, such as Moran’s I, are based on spatial similarity.
