title: Sex mortality differentials in São Paulo in 2005 and 2016: contribution of age groups and main causes of death

description: Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the sex mortality differential in the city of São Paulo, in 2005 and 2015, by analyzing the differential levels and patterns as well as the contribution of different age groups and the main causes of death. The calculated indicators were the differential in life expectancy at birth, the sex ratio between specific mortality rates and the contribution of age groups and causes of death to the differential. The results show that the greater gain of men in life expectancy at birth contributed to the reduction of 1.30 years in the differential between the two years studied. Moreover, despite the high sex ratios among youth-specific mortality rates, older people contributed most to explaining the female advantage in mortality. Finally, circulatory diseases, neoplasms and external causes were responsible for the major contributions to the differential. However, the analysis of the pattern of causes of death together with the age pattern shows that for the elderly, whose contribution is greater to the differential, circulatory diseases, neoplasms and respiratory diseases were more decisive in the formation of the differential.

title: The impact of phonological properties of words in phonological awareness tasks

description: ABSTRACT This study had the purpose investigating the impact of word length, syllable complexity and segmental properties (MA) in phonological awareness tasks, in children with typical phonological development and with phonological disorders and compare your results. Eighty subjects, in age group of six years old, divided in two groups, participated in this study: group with typical phonological development (GTPD) and group with phonological disorders (GPD). It was develop two tasks of phonological awareness: syllable segmentation and segmental recognition. It was analyzed the word length, the syllable complexity and the segmental properties (MA). Was used the Chi-Square Test, with significance level of 5%. For word extension, the results were significant for both groups, with correct segmentation for disyllabic. For syllable complexity, words formed by complex onset were significantly segmented correctly, by GDFT. Regarding the segmental properties (MA), words with non-lateral liquid coda were correctly segmented by GDFT. The group GTPD, significantly, higher for of right answers for the syllable task and the total of right answers. The analyzed phonological properties caused effect in the performance of the applied phonological awareness tasks. The group GPD obtained lower results in the applied tasks in comparison with the group GTPD.

title: Association between sarcopenic obesity, muscle strength and risk of cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases in the elderly: A systematic review

description: ABSTRACT To describe the findings in the literature about the association between sarcopenic obesity, muscle strength and risk factors and/or cardiometabolic or cardiovascular diseases in the elderly. A research was carried out in the following databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online, Web of Science, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Latin America and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature) and Capes Journals, using the following search terms in English, Spanish and Portuguese: “obesity sarcopenic” OR “sarcopenic obesity” in the title AND “cardiometabolic disease” OR “cardiovascular disease” OR “metabolic syndrome” OR “insulin resistance” in the title/abstract AND “aged” in all fields of search with the variation of the “muscle strength” descriptor in all fields of this research. Articles were selected according to the following exclusion criteria: studies evaluating only sarcopenia and the risk of cardiometabolic/cardiovascular disease in the elderly, studies evaluating only obesity and the risk of cardiometabolic/cardiovascular disease in the elderly, studies that did not present the used method, studies in animals and studies that were not in Portuguese, English or Spanish. The researchers of the present study found a heterogeneity of methods for the identification of sarcopenic obesity, and a transversal cohort was used in most of the studies. It was possible to verify the association of sarcopenic obesity with risk factors and/or cardiometabolic or cardiovascular disease. Sarcopenic obesity is associated with risk factors and/or cardiometabolic or cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Establishing a robust definition of sarcopenic obesity in the elderly is necessary for further clinical studies and interventions.

title: Pterodactyloid pterosaur bones from Cretaceous deposits of the Antarctic Peninsula

description: Abstract Fossil vertebrates from Antarctica are considerably rare, hampering our understanding of the evolutionary history of the biota from that continent. For several austral summers, the PALEOANTAR project has been carrying out fieldwork in the Antarctic Peninsula in search for fossils, particularly Cretaceous vertebrates. Among the specimens recovered so far are two bones referable to Pterosauria, more specifically to the Pterodacyloidea, the first volant reptiles from Antarctica to be fully described. MN 7800-V (part and counterpart) was recovered from a moraine at the Abernathy Flats (Santa Marta Formation, Lachman Crags Member, Santonian-Campanian) on James Ross Island. It is interpreted as the distal articulation of a first phalanx of the wing finger, representing an animal with an estimated wingspan between 3 and 4 m. The second specimen (MN 7801-V) comes from Vega Island (Snow Hill Island Formation, Maastrichtian) and is identified as a wing metacarpal IV of an animal with an estimated wingspan from 4 to 5 m. These occurrences show that pterodactyloids inhabited the Antarctic Peninsula at least during the Upper Cretaceous and demonstrate that large pterosaurs were widespread through all parts of the planet during that period.

title: Map, Foundations, Recipe, Burden: Teachers’ Conceptual Metaphors on Lesson Planning

description: ABSTRACT Conceptual metaphor constitutes both the theoretical framework and a tool for eliciting and analyzing data in this qualitative research study. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of conceptual metaphors for unpacking research participants’ conceptualizations about lesson planning in Chilean schools. An eliciting metaphor questionnaire was designed to require respondents to complete the statement “lesson planning is like…because…”. The data were analyzed through content analysis for metaphors, as follows: pre-analysis, labeling, classification, categorizing, peer judgment. The questionnaire was applied to 54 Chilean teachers from different schools. Four metaphor categories were obtained: Map, Foundations, Instructions, Burden.

title: Development of multiplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification for three foodborne pathogens

description: Abstract Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Shigella are three major foodborne pathogenic microorganisms that cause global public health problems. We developed a multiplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification (mLAMP) assay for simultaneous detection of S. aureus nuc, Salmonella fimY, and Shigella ipaH in fresh fruit juice using three sets of primers. In addition, three different restriction enzyme cleavage sites were designed in each forward inner primer (FIP), namely, XhoI in nuc FIP, KpnI in fimY FIP, and BamHI in ipaH FIP. DNA was amplified using the LAMP assay at 64 °C for 50 min followed by endonuclease restriction digestion to separate the LAMP products of three pathogens. The minimum amount of genomic DNA of S. aureus, Salmonella, and Shigella that could be detected by mLAMP was 100 fg/25 μL, whereas for mPCR, it was 1 pg/25 μL. The artificially contaminated juice can also be detected by mLAMP after enrichment, which had the limit of detection (LOD) of 2 CFU/10 mL. In conclusion, the mLAMP developed in this study could be potentially used in the detection of S. aureus, Salmonella, and Shigella in food, particularly as a primary screening method in developing areas.

title: The research article’s text plan: characterization and didactic perspectives

description: ABSTRACT This paper’s goal is to describe the text plans’ main properties of four research articles produced within different areas (Sciences vs. Social and Human Sciences/Humanities), in order to apply the results in genre teaching, within the fields of academic literacy and genre pedagogy. The adopted theoretical framework includes Sociodiscoursive Interactionism main assumptions (Bronckart [1997] 1999, 2010), French language school Text Linguistics’ proposals (Adam 2001), and Genre Didactic main principles (Schneuwly e Dolz 2004; Dolz e Gagnon 2008; Dolz 2011). A top-down approach was adopted, including a qualitative-descriptive analysis. It focused on four texts of the genre research article, which were produced within different disciplinary areas. Analyzed data show a significant flexibility of the research articles’ text plans. Several adaptations were identified, which seem to be due to the research field within which each text was produced, namely to their typical discourse practices.

title: Application and comparison of proteolytic enzyme preparations in technology of protein hydrolyzates

description: Abstract Protepsin belongs to the class of acid proteinases, containing carboxyl groups in the active center. The preparation cleaves peptide bonds formed by aromatic amino acids (tyrosine, phenylalanine), and does not hydrolize esters and amides. Along with the proteolytic complex, Protepsin contains collagenase, lipase, and other digestive enzymes. The preparation is obtained according to the original technology through maceration of animal endocrine raw materials, followed by purification, concentration, isolation and freeze dehydration of the enzyme complex. The results of the laboratory studies of the proteolytic activity of enzyme preparations show that Protepsin, the preparation of animal origin with a proteolytic activity of 100 units/g, has the greatest collagenase activity in the biomodification of native collagen-containing raw materials.

title: Low fat goat meat sausage with chitosan-glucose Maillard reaction product: impact on quality and shelf life

description: Abstract Low fat fresh goat sausages based on chitosan (LMWC) and derivative chitosan (LMWC-Glc) were developed aiming to produce a functional food product evaluating the effect of inclusion of these compounds on quality, stability and shelf life. Goat sausages (10% pork fat) were formulated with 2% (w/w) of LMWC or LMWC-Glc and stored at 4 °C during 21 days. Results indicated that incorporation of LMWC-Glc and LMWC is technologically feasible, originating a potential functional product with low fat content, besides the positive impact on microbial safety. The modified LMWC (towards better solubility and lower adstringency) incorporated at 2% as functional ingredient maintained positive effect on antimicrobial, nutrional, textural and sensory performance. The results also proved that derivative chitosan may also be a promising strategy for improving the quality and extending the shelf life of low fat goat sausage.

title: Does infant formula containing synbiotics support adequate growth in infants? A meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials

description: In recent years, several studies have shown that formulas that contain synbiotics, i.e. composed prebiotics and probiotics have been proposed to have a beneficial effect on anthropometric indices. However, the results are inconsistent thus this meta-analysis was performed to assess this effect. PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Embase were systematically searched up to May-2020. Weight gain, length gain, head circumstance gain, weight-for-age z scores, and length-for-age z scores were considered as the outcomes. Weighted mean differences (WMD) with the 95% CI were applied for estimating the combined effect size. Subgroup analysis was performed to specify the source of heterogeneity among studies. Consumption of formulas containing synbiotics did not affect growth significantly in healthy infants (weight gain (WMD = 2.06, 95% CI: − 4.08 to 8.21; p = 0.51), length gain (WMD = − 0.05, 95% CI: − 0.70 to 0.60; p = 0.88), head circumstance (WMD = − 0.28, 95% CI: − 0.66 to 0.11; p = 0.15), on weight-for-age z-scores (WMD = − 0.05, 95% CI: − 0.23 to 0.13; p = 0.57) and length-for-age z-scores (WMD = − 0.16, 95% CI: − 0.50 to 0.19; p = 0.37)). The main results indicate a non-significant increase in infant’s growth following synbiotics supplementation of infant formula. Further large-scale studies are warranted to confirm present findings.

title: Supplementary Material for: Persistent organic pollutant exposure and thyroid function among 12-year-old children

description: Introduction Polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) having numerous toxicological properties, including thyroid endocrine disruption. Our aim was to assess the impact of POPs on thyroid hormones among 12-years children, while taking puberty into consideration Methods Exposure to 7 PCBs, 4 OCPs and 6 PFASs (in µg/L), and free triiodothyronine (fT3, pg/mL), free thyroxine (fT4, ng/dL) and thyroid-stimulating hormones (TSH, mIU/L) were assessed through blood-serum measurements at age 12 in 249 boys and 227 girls of the PELAGIE mother-child cohort (France). Pubertal status was clinically rated using the Tanner stages. For each POP, associations were estimated using linear regression, adjusted for potential confounders. Results Among boys, hexachlorobenzene and perfluorodecanoic acid were associated with decreased fT3 (log-scale; β (95% Confidence Interval) =-0.07 (-0.12,-0.02) and β=-0.03 (-0.06,-0.00) respectively). Intermediate levels of perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS) and PCB180 were associated, respectively, with increased and decreased fT4. After stratification on pubertal status, PCBs and OCPs were associated with decreased TSH only in the more advanced Tanner stages (3, 4 and 5) and with decreased fT3 among early Tanner stages (1-2). Among girls, PFHxS was associated with decreased TSH (log-scale; β=-0.15 (-0.29,-0.00)), and perfluorooctanoic acid was associated with decreased fT3 (β2nd_tercile=-0.06 (-0.10,-0.03) and β3rd_tercile=-0.04 (-0.08,-0.00), vs 1st tercile). Discussion / Conclusion This cross-sectional study highlights associations between some POPs and thyroid function disruption, which appears consistent with the literature. Considering that the associations were sex-specific and moderated by pubertal status in boys, complex endocrine interactions are likely involved.
