title: Production and performance of sugarcane seeds (caryopses) from different hybridizations involving RB92579

description: Abstract A major challenge in sugarcane breeding program is the obtaining of enough number of seeds (caryopses) for the development of new improved cultivars. Genotypes differ in their function as pollen recipient and pollen donor, which also affect the seed performance. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify the production and performance of sugarcane seeds from different hybridizations involving RB92579 as pollen recipient and pollen donor. Twelve bi-parental crossings were carried out involving RB92579 and other different genotypes randomly chosen. Seed production potential was evaluated by percentage of fertile spikelets and caryopsis fresh weight. The seed physiological potential was determined by evaluating germination and vigor (index of germination rate, number of normal seedlings per gram of fuzz, and seedling dry weight). The results showed better performance for RB92579 as pollen donor for all characteristics studied. Therefore, RB92579 sugarcane cultivar should be used as pollen donor during hybridizations, condition that permits a greater production and physiological performance of seeds for the sugarcane breeding programs.

title: Beef cattle performance in response to Ipyporã and Marandu brachiariagrass cultivars under rotational stocking management

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this two-year study was to evaluate live weight gain per animal and per area and their relationships with the characteristics of BRS Ipyporã (Brachiaria ruziziensis × Brachiaria brizantha) and Marandu (Brachiaria brizantha) pastures. A completely randomized block design was used with two treatments and four replicates. The grazing method was rotational stocking, with variable stocking rate. Stocking rate was adjusted twice a week during the grazing period (six or seven days) and post-grazing canopy height target of 15 cm. Animals were weighed every 28 days. Pastures were evaluated pre-grazing to estimate forage accumulation rate, forage mass (FM), leaf (LP) and stem (SP) percentages, and nutritive value. In the post-grazing, FM, LP, and SP were evaluated. Marandu palisadegrass pastures had greater FAR, pre-grazing FM, and hence, a greater SR when compared with BRS Ipyporã. However, compared with Marandu, BRS Ipyporã showed greater LP, leaf:stem ratio, crude protein, and in vitro organic matter digestibility, resulting in greater individual live weight gain. The lesser stocking rate in Ipyporã pastures was compensated, providing a greater individual live weight gain of steers, resulting in a similar live weight gain per area for the two cultivars. Thus, BRS Ipyporã is a good alternative for the diversification of pastures in the Cerrado region.

title: Association between polymorphisms in the genes encoding toll-like receptors and dectin-1 and susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis: a systematic review

description: Abstract Invasive aspergillosis is a common fungal infection in immunocompromised individuals. Some studies have shown that toll-like receptor and dectin-1 genetic polymorphisms may alter signaling pathways, thus increasing an individual’s susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis. We investigated the pertinent literature to determine whether polymorphisms in the genes encoding toll-like receptors and dectin-1 increase the susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis. This study systematically reviewed the literature using the databases PubMed/PMC, Scopus, and Web of Science using the keywords invasive aspergillosis, polymorphism, Toll-like, and Dectin-1. From the initial search, 415 studies were found and according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight studies were selected. Several studies described single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with a greater susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis. These SNPs were found in the genes that encode toll-like receptors 1, 3, 4, and 5 and the gene that encodes dectin-1; upon activation, both cellular receptors initiate a signaling cascade that can result in the production of cytokines and chemokines. Thus, our literature review uncovered a significant association between polymorphisms in the genes that encode toll-like receptors and dectin-1 and invasive aspergillosis. More studies should be performed to better understand the relationship between toll-like receptor and dectin-1 genetic polymorphisms and invasive aspergillosis susceptibility.

title: Prevalence and factors associated with metabolic syndrome in 6-10-year-old children

description: Abstract Aims: to identify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and associated risk factors in children. Methods: a total of 1,480 Brazilian children aged 6-10 years old (52.2% girls) participated in this population-based, epidemiological cross-sectional study. The inclusion criteria were children born between the years 2001 and 2006, of both sexes, who did not use remedy, were not on a calorie restriction diet, and who respected the 12-hour fast for blood collection. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, blood collection, and completion of the Previous Day Food Questionnaire and interview using a Physical Activity List were held at school. Parents were asked to complete a questionnaire on socioeconomic status and lifestyle habits of their child. Chi-square test compared proportions and factors associated with MetS were identified using Poisson Regression. Results: Girls had significantly higher MetS prevalence compared with boys (12.6% vs. 8.5%, p=0.046). After multivariable analysis, body fat percentage (p=0.001), fat mass (p&lt;0.001), lean body mass (p&lt; 0.001) and sedentary behavior (p= 0.050) were positively associated with MetS. Conclusions: Modifiable factors such as body fat percentage, fat mass, lean body mass and sedentary behavior were associated with MetS in children. Thus, interventions targeted for weight management, and adopting healthy habits such as reducing time in front of TV/computer/video game need to be part of the lifestyle of children.

title: CERAMIC PLATES CONTAINING SLUDGE FROM A WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND THE RICE HUSK ASH: RELATION BETWEEN PHYSICAL-CHEMISTRY PROPERTIES AND MICROSTRUCTURE

description: Pressed ceramic plates were made from mixtures with different proportions containing kaolinite clay, silica extracted from the rice husk ash after controlled burning at controlled temperature and sludge from a water treatment plant. Physical properties such as density, water absorption and porosity, mechanical properties such as compressive strength, and thermal characteristics such as thermal conductivity of the ceramic plates after burning (DIN EN12667) were evaluated. The silica when inserted in the kaolinite clay can have a gradual increase of its performance, be reduced in the porous phase, with reduction of the thermal conductivity and increase of the mechanical resistance. The use of the sludge from a water treatment plant when incorporated to the ceramic mass is a great number of peaks of charge and of crystallization, expressive increase of porosity and decrease of the thermal and mechanical resistances. As ceramic plates with a trace 72% kaolinite clay, 18% rice husk and 10% sludge from a water treatment plant show lower thermal conductivity 0.2574 W m-1K-1, and a higher compressive strength of 172.12 MPa when compared to the other plates tested where the substitutions for sludge from a water treatment plant occurred.

title: Effects of maternal artificial vocalization on hyperprolific lactating sows and piglets behavior

description: Abstract The objective of this trial was to evaluate the behavioral patterns and performance of lactating sows and their litters under the effect of artificial vocalization. Twenty-eight sows and their litters were distributed in a completely randomized design in a 2x2 factorial scheme (artificial vocalization x lactation week). The behavior of the animals was monitored during 24 hours on the 7th and 15th days of lactation, analyzing the number, interval, and frequency of nursings. The body condition and performance of the sows were also evaluated. Artificial vocalization promoted higher frequencies of eating for sow and nursing for piglets (P &lt;0.05), increased inactive sow behavior (P &lt;0.05), and reduced sow alert in activity (P &lt;0.05). The number and duration of suckling sessions at the 15thday of lactation were reduced (P &lt;0.05). The use of artificial vocalization did not affect the body condition or milk production of the lactating sows, or the performance of the litter during lactation (P&gt; 0.05). The use of maternal artificial vocalization during lactation of sows promoted greater lactation efficiency and longer rest time, favoring the sows’ welfare.

title: Affonso de Taunay and the two versions of the map of d. Luis de Céspedes Xeria (1628)

description: ABSTRACT The following paper aims to deepen the studies about the map of the travel made by D. Luis de Céspedes Xeria from the town of São Paulo de Piratininga to the Ciudad Real de Guayrá, in the Province of Paraguay, in 1628. For this, we used primary sources such as the manuscripts of the De Angelis Collection, kept in the National Library in Rio de Janeiro, as well as the manuscripts of the Archivo General de Indias, in Seville, including the extensive written documentation and, specially, the two available versions of the cartographic document made by Céspedes Xeria, in 1628. We then compared the copy commissioned by Affonso d’Escragnolle Taunay, in 1917, with both of the seventeenth-century remaining originals, concluding for its fidelity to one of them. In addition, we analyzed the cartographic representations of the settlements represented in the map, which aroused, in 1938, public discussions between Taunay and Benedito Carneiro Bastos Barreto, also known as Belmonte, coming up to the conclusion that all of them are cartographic symbols or standardized icons rather than representations based on the appearance of the buildings such as they were when they were visited by Céspedes Xeria in the first half of the seventeenth century. During this process it was possible to distinguish two different moments of the historian Taunay: the first, his concerning for fidelity in copying documents; and the second, a plasticity of interpretation in the moment of analyze and use these same documents.

title: The anthropophagous Oswald de Andrade and the heritage conservation: a devourer of myths?

description: ABSTRACT An unpublished document of 1930 attributed by the authors of this article to Oswald de Andrade, in which he suggests the “Bases for the Creation and Organization of the Department of Defense and Conservation of the Artistic Heritage of Brazil”, is the starting point used to discuss the historiographical shadow that conceals the writer as one of the agents of the constitution, in the field of ideas, of a preservationist culture in the country, particularly within the history of the constitution of the National Historical and Artistic Patrimony Service (SPHAN). The article also proposes to problematize the centrality of Mário de Andrade in the founding myth of the Service. To do so, it addresses the biography of Oswald de Andrade, his ideas, political positions, his social place, his friendships and enmities. The debate raises the question whether there would be a difficulty in admitting the provocative presence of an “anthropophagous conservative” in the history of the constitution of the main federal preservation body in Brazil.

title: Teaching objects and science and technology heritage in Brazil and Portugal: contributions from surveys and inventories as instruments for preservation in secondary schools

description: ABSTRACT This study offers some reflections about cultural heritage in secondary schools, analyzing some initiatives to survey and enhance the value of teaching objects as cultural assets. An analytical profile of inventories of cultural heritage at secondary schools in Brazil and Portugal is presented. Considering the perspective of science and technology heritage, the methodology involved a literature review and direct contact with institutions to survey and compare the state of inventory-based research of such objects. The initiatives studied here were found to be asymmetrical, requiring standardization and more in-depth analysis to encompass different types of education, thus obtaining more consistent and effective results from a preservation perspective. Nonetheless, there is a growing movement to identify and preserve these artifacts in both countries.
