title: Bexiga: daily life and work (1906-1931)

description: ABSTRACT Result of the research carried out for the preparation of a doctoral thesis, this work proposes to meet spatial configuration and a human neighborhood along little more than a century resulted in the territory today known as “Bexiga”. To do this, the design of the methodology and the work lines used for your development were fundamental, in that it enabled the articulation of the various dimensions of that space. Then there are the actual goals of the job. On the other hand, the role played by the Bexiga in the process of urban transformation occurred in São Paulo, between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At that time, unlike the colonial city, focusing on historical and Hill apparently more homogeneous, the city of the First Republic showed a tendency towards specialization of spaces: the central perimeter, with trade and specialized services; and the urban and suburban areas with residential neighborhoods for high, medium and low layers. On the other hand, taking into account the human element, central to the understanding of urban space, unravel the sociotopografia and forms of sociability, as well as tensions between different social groups that have experienced the neighborhood, through the identification of profile of prevailing social actors. In this way, it is intended to demystify the stereotypes related to the Bexiga as a homogenous neighborhood, assuming the premise of the idea of diversity and clarifying the various facets of an area not exclusively Italian and either “encortiçada” and “worker”.

title: Is it Possible to Easily Identify Metabolically Healthy Obese Women?

description: Abstract Background: Obesity is recognized as a major risk factor for the development of several metabolic complications. However, some obese individuals have a favorable metabolic profile. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify an easy parameter for recognizing metabolically healthy obese (MHO) women. Methods: A total of 292 non-diabetic women with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 were selected, and 239 composed the final cohort. We classified the participants according to their metabolic state determined by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) into MHO or metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO). Both groups were compared regarding biochemical, anthropometric, and body composition characteristics. Results: The average age of the cohort was 43.9 ± 10.9 years and the average BMI was 37.2 ± 5.3 kg/m2. In total, 75.7% of the participants were classified as MHO by HOMA. A cutoff of 108.2 cm for waist circumference (WC) identified MHO participants with a sensitivity of 72.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 59.8-82.3%), specificity of 66.9% (95% CI: 59.71-73.3%), and negative likelihood ratio of 0.41 (95% CI: 0.36-0.47). Additionally, a visceral adiposity index cutoff value of 99.2 identified MHO women with a sensitivity of 89.7% (95% CI: 79.2-95.2%), specificity of 48.6% (95% CI: 41.4-55.9%), and negative likelihood ratio of 0.21 (95% CI: 0.15-0.30). Conclusion: Women classified as MHO exhibited smaller WC measurements and lower body fat percentages, as well as lower blood glucose and insulin levels. WC emerged as an easy parameter for identifying MHO women.

title: The place of a cookbook in a Renaissance public library: study on Apicius’ De re coquinaria from the Laurentian manuscript Plut. 73.20

description: ABSTRACT Some of the first Renaissance manuscripts of the cookbook attributed to Apicius, produced in the second half of the 15th century, were almost certainly made to integrate private libraries of powerful signori of Northern and Central Italy. Nonetheless, the long history of the Apician manuscript Plut. 73.20 - an item that was moved from the Medici’s private collection to the first modern public library in Florence, the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana - allows further considerations about it. The investigation of its material aspects, as well as of its physical and spatial location in the library, will be used in this article as a starting point to discuss how the contents of Apicius’ cookbook were interpreted and classified by the humanists of its time. The working hypothesis is that humanists, particularly those interested in medicine, were fundamental in changing its classification, at least temporarily, from culinary to medical one.

title: The city of São Paulo and its dynamics: graffiti, Clean City Act and urban advertising

description: ABSTRACT Legislation changes and the dissemination of graffiti murals has changed the interpretation of society about the character of graffiti in the city of São Paulo, even receiving some encouragement from the City Hall. Graffiti pieces have been spread to embellish the city and promote touristic spots, which has favored the recognition and popularity of graffiti artists, encouraging a graffiti economy. The general objective of this article is to reflect on how this “graffiti economy” has been incorporated by market interests, showing that such incorporation process led to the creation of ways to “circumvent” advertising limitations imposed by São Paulo’s “Clean City Act” (Lei Cidade Limpa), which led to graffiti murals being used by big companies and advertising agencies.

title: Development and selection of super-sweet corn genotypes (sh2) through multivariate approaches

description: ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to investigate relations among ten traits in super-sweet corn genotypes assessed by means of simple correlation, path and canonical variable analyses, as well as to investigate the relative importance of such traits to the super-sweet corn breeding program developed at Darcy Ribeiro Northern Fluminense State University in order to develop strategies able to improve the efficiency in the selection of superior genotypes. Thus, trials comprising 3 × 6 partial diallel of super-sweet (sh2) corn were carried out, according to a short_textrandomized block design (RBD)short_text with four repetitions, in two different environments located in Northern Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil (Itaocara and Campos dos Goytacazes counties). The correlation study showed that traits such as ear diameter and useful short_textearshort_text length contributed the most to increase short_textearshort_text yield (without husk); the variable ear diameter stood out for having stronger direct effect on ear yield, as well as for presenting high heritability (0.95). The trait number of grains per ear row contributed the most to the variation between hybrids, whereas the trait useful ear length contributed the least. The canonical variables showed that the genetic backgrounds of sh2-gene donor populations had effect on recurrent populations, even after five backcrossing cycles, thus resulting in the formation of two divergent groups.

title: Vegetative propagation and application of clonal forestry in Brazilian native tree species

description: Abstract: Understanding the mechanisms involved in tree species maturation, related mainly to ontogenetic age effects, has contributed significantly to the vegetative propagation process of Brazilian native tree species, with consequent application of clonal forestry. A number of methodologies has been developed to rescue and vegetatively propagate these species for silvicultural and environmental restoration purposes. However, the types and purposes of propagation, as well as the choice of suitable processes and propagules considering the intended objectives, still need to be better aligned. In addition, there is an evident knowledge gap and great potential regarding the use of native tree species in Brazilian clonal forestry, indicating the need of a greater interaction between studies on the vegetative propagation and vigor of these materials in the field. Therefore, this review aims to help understand the different types of techniques used and their application on the vegetative propagation and clonal forestry of Brazilian native tree species, besides proposing a schematic sequence of the stages involved in these processes for productive and environmental purposes.

title: Exogenous enzymes improve performance and carcass traits of feedlot cattle fed high-grain diet

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation of two different enzymatic complexes, fibrolytic (NSPases) or amylolytic (EXP3066) enzymes, on growth performance, digestibility, behavior, and carcass characteristics of feedlot cattle. Thirty-six ½ Angus yearling bulls with an average initial weight of 391±5.0 kg were used in this experiment blocked by weight in a completely randomized design divided in three treatments: control, NSPases, and EXP3066. The basal diet was composed of 85% whole corn grain and 15% nucleus. NSPases increased average daily gain on days 63 and 84, and gain:feed ratio on days 42, 63, and 84. Total carcass weight and carcass daily gain were improved by 4.8% and up to 6.0% with EXP3066 and NSPases supplementations, respectively. The group that received NSPases supplementation showed even greater carcass feed efficiency when compared with animals in the control group. There was an increase in apparent dry matter digestibility and a decrease of fecal whole grain residual percentage with enzyme supplementation. Enzyme supplementation affected hot carcass weight and EXP3066 provided greater values for ribeye area and marbling compared with control. Exogenous enzymes improve performance and carcass traits in feedlot cattle fed high-grain diet.

title: Diallel analysis and inbreeding depression in agronomic and technological traits of cotton genotypes

description: ABSTRACT Cotton provides about 90% of the world textile fiber, and is one of the crops of greater industrial relevance. The objectives of this study were to estimate the inbreeding depressionand the genetic effects involved in the control of the agronomic andfiber quality traits in F1 and F2 generations and to identify promising hybrids for obtaining superior cotton genotypes. Two cultivars of upland cotton and two moco (Brazilian endemic) cotton were crossed using a half-diallel scheme. The following traits were evaluated: percentage of fibers and weight of one boll, fiber length, fiber uniformity, short fiber index, fiber strength, and micronaire index. The additive genetic effects are predominant in the evaluated agronomic and fiber quality traits. Cultivar FM 966 is the most suitable parent to compose crossing blocks for the improvement of cotton agronomic and fiber quality traits. The hybrids FM 966 × CNPA 7MH and FM 966 × BRS 286 are the most promising for obtaining segregating populations aiming to select superior genotypes. Inbreeding depression is more pronounced in the agronomic traits than in the fiber quality traits.

title: Stereological and morphological analysis of the effects of aging on spermatogenesis in rat testis

description: Abstract Purpose: To quantify, through stereological and morphometric analysis, spermatogenesis in rats undergoing the natural aging process. Methods: Seventy-two male Wistar rats were divided into 6 equal groups according to age at the time of killing: 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months. All the rats were subjected orchiectomy and collection of testicular parenchymal fragments for histological and morphometric analysis. The numerical density of spermatids was calculated using a stereological study, and morphometric analysis was conducted to measure the height of the germinal epithelium and the area of the seminiferous tubules. Results: We found that the 18 and 24 months groups showed a significant reduction in the number of round spermatids. However, the height of the germinal epithelium was not significantly different between the groups. The area of seminiferous tubules was also significantly reduced in the elderly rats compared to that in the young ones. Conclusion: Aging of rats showed a significant reduction in the number of round spermatids and the area of the seminiferous tubules, more pronounced in the rats at 18 and 24 months of life.

title: Chemical characteristics, aerobic stability, and microbiological counts in corn silage re-ensiled with bacterial inoculant

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of re-ensiling and bacterial inoculation on the quality of corn silage. The experiment was carried out in a 2x2 factorial design with or without inoculant (association of Lactobacillus plantarum and Propionibacterium acidipropionici), and with re-ensiling after 36 hours of aerobic exposure or only ensiling of the whole plant of 'BRS 1055' corn. The fermentative quality, nutritional parameters, dry matter losses, aerobic stability, and microbiological counts of silages were evaluated. Re-ensiling caused an increase of pH and in acetic acid and propionic acid concentrations, as well as in the dry matter (DM), crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, and neutral detergent fiber crude protein contents. Conversely, there was a reduction in the nonfiber carbohydrates concentration and in in vitro dry matter digestibility for the re-ensiled material. All changes were explained by the higher-effluent production and DM loss of re-ensiled material that was subjected to two compactions. Microbiology was not altered by the treatments. The use of inoculant altered ash content, but it did not influence other parameters. In contrast, re-ensiling after 36 hours of aerobic exposure caused a reduction in the nutritive value of corn silage and accentuated the DM losses.
