title: Agroindustrial performance and heterosis in sweet sorghum using male-sterile lines with high stem sugar content

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of hybrids and the heterosis in crosses of sweet sorghum using juicy sweet male-sterile lines and fertility-restoring lines with and without sensitivity to photoperiod. Thirty hybrids and six controls were evaluated in experiments laid out in a 6 × 6 triple lattice design. The genotypes differed for all traits. The general combining ability (GCA) of the R lines affected all traits, while the GCA of the A lines only affected juice extraction, total soluble solids, and tons of Brix per hectare (TBH). The photosensitive-restoring line CMSXS5022 had the highest positive GCA estimates for the fresh mass production and TBH traits. Heterosis was significant only for days to flowering and plant height. Overall, the photoperiod-sensitive hybrids stood out. The development of male-sterile lines requires better complementarity from restoring lines to reap the benefits of heterosis.

title: THE EFFECT OF PILATES EXERCISES ON MUSCLE ELECTRICAL ACTIVATION IN ADULTS WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

description: ABSTRACT Low back pain is one of the most prevalent orthopedic conditions, affecting around 70% to 80% of the world’s population at least once during their life times. Surface electromyography is an important tool for assessing the muscle function of the lumbar stabilizers. One of the best treatment options for patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) is physical exercise, particular lyaerobic exercise and Pilates, as these can reduce short-term pain and disability, and improve balance. This review aims to identify the state of art regarding the benefits of pilates on the population with CLBP, evaluating changes in the muscular activation of the muscles of the lumbar region. Searches were conducted on the following databases: PubMed (Medline), Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, Ebsco and Scielo; including gray literature: Google Scholar, Grey Literature, Pro Quest Dissertations & Theses. The inclusion criteria were adults with low back pain for three months or more, with or without referred pain in the lower limbs; studies that used electromyographic variables; studies with a pain assessment measure at two different times; studies with physical exercise performed only using the Pilates method. Applying these criteria, the searches retrieved 439 abstracts. Of these, 44 articles were evaluated for eligibility, and three fulfilled the qualitative and quantitative synthesis criteria. The average methodological quality score on the Downs and Black checklist was 15 out of 28. It was therefore concluded that Pilates is an excellent option for the treatment of non-specific low back pain, promoting health and helping prevent low back pain among asymptomatic individuals. Level of evidence II; Systematic Review of Level II or Level I Studies with Discrepant Results.

title: Ultrafine quartz flocculation: Part I. System characterization and variables selection

description: Abstract A characterization study was performed to verify the more relevant physicochemical properties for quartz flocculation with polyacrylamide, as well as to define which variables should be further investigated regarding this flocculation system. Polyacrylamide was evaluated through molecular weight, radius of gyration, and infrared spectrometry. A natural quartz sample was investigated regarding its particle size distribution, specific surface area, mineralogical and chemical composition. The zeta potential of quartz with flocculant and surfactant was also analyzed. The results indicated that the quartz had high purity and particle sizes between 38 and 10 µm, which was within the intended particle size range; the flocculant presented a suitable molecular weight for the proposed flocculation system. Based on literature, nine variables were chosen to be investigated in Part II of this study: flocculant and surfactant concentration, flocculant and surfactant conditioning time, flocculation addition time, agitation intensity, pH of the suspension, flocculation time, and solid concentration.

title: Bodily practices in imperial legislation and constructing a professional sociology for physical education

description: Abstract This documentary study examines official texts related to physical education in legislation and decrees from Brazil’s imperial period (1822-1889) to trace the initial steps of professionals in this area within the civil and military context of Brazilian society, before they were recognized as a professional category. We found that unlike intellectual efforts, practical work was less attractive, which made it difficult for these professionals to work exclusively and maintain stability in this area. These elements were obstacles to more organized demands from physical education that were required for professionalization.

title: Black population’s health: affirmative action and teaching whiteness in undergraduate health courses

description: Abstract This paper aims to analyze the implementation of black people health in the undergraduate courses of Public Health, Nursing, and Medicine at a public Brazilian university. The theoretical foundation consists of a qualitative intervention-research study, based on Black Feminist Epistemology and Black Perspective of Decoloniality. Two workshops were held with the members of the Structural Teaching Nuclei of those courses in 2019 and 2020. Despite the guidelines of the legal framework on the teaching of ethnic-racial relations, it was possible to observe the incipience of training, the absence of black professors in these spaces and the presence of a faculty’s whiteness that perpetuates privileges. From the results and discussion presented, it appears that it is through emancipatory movements and thoughts in the political, cultural, pedagogical and epistemological fields that it is possible to intend ruptures in power relations and in the structures of the State.

title: FAMILY ENVIRONMENT RESOURCES AND READING PERFORMANCE BY ADOLESCENTS

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify the association between the resources of the family environment and teenage reading. A total of 106 adolescents of both sexes, aged between 11 and 16 years, without learning difficulties, participated in the study. For data collection, a narrative text, a multiple-choice questionnaire about the text and an adapted Family Environment Resources questionnaire were used. Descriptive and inferential analysis was performed using Spearman, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis correlation tests, with a significance level of 5%. Resources that promote proximal processes and parenting practices contributed to better reading performance. In contrast, the predictable activities category contributed negatively. Thus, the environment and resources influenced the adolescents’ reading performance. It is concluded that the elaboration of school measures and public policies is important to strengthen the family-school relationship, expand family resources and make the environment favorable to teaching.

title: IDENTIFICATION OF RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH 30-DAY READMISSION OF PATIENTS SUBMITTED TO ANTERIOR OR POSTERIOR ACCESS CERVICAL SPINE SURGERY

description: ABSTRACT Aim: To conduct a systematic review of the literature to identify risk factors associated with 30-day readmission of patients submitted to anterior or posterior access cervical spine surgery. Methods: The databases used to select the papers were PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane, using the following search strategy: patient AND readmission AND (30 day OR “thirty day” OR 30-day OR thirty-day) AND (spine AND cervical). Results: Initially, 179 papers that satisfied the established search stringwere selected. After reading the titles and abstracts, 46 were excluded from the sample for not effectively discussing the theme proposed for this review. Of the 133 remaining papers, 109 were also excluded after a detailed reading of their content, leaving 24 that were included in the sample for the meta-analysis. Conclusions: The average readmission rate in the studies evaluated was 4.85%. Only the occurrence of infections, as well as the presence of patients classified by the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) assessment system with scores greater than III, were causal factors that influenced the readmission of patients. No significant differences were noted when comparing the anterior and posterior surgical access routes. Level of evidence II; Systematic Review of Level II or Level I Studies with discrepant results.
