title: FEEDING FREQUENCY OF NILE TILAPIA FED RATIONS SUPPLEMENTED WITH AMINO ACIDS

description: ABSTRACT: The present study evaluated the feeding frequency of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed low-protein diets (29% crude protein) supplemented with commercial amino acids (L-lysine-HCl, DL-methionine, and L-threonine). Sex-reversed Nile tilapia (240) of Thai origin, with initial body weight of 0.93 ± 0.03 g each, were allocated in a completely randomized design, to five groups with various feeding frequencies (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 times a day). Six replications were conducted on separate experimental units comprising eight fishes each. The fish were maintained in 30 130-L aquariums, each equipped with individual water supply and controlled temperature and aeration. Fish were fed identical quantities among all treatments over a period of 30 days. Performance parameters, feed conversion efficiency, body composition, daily protein and fat deposition rates, and nitrogen retention efficiency were evaluated. Increased feeding frequency affected neither performance parameters nor body composition. Values for protein and fat deposition rates and nitrogen retention efficiency were significantly lower in fish fed twice daily than in those fed five times daily. Fish subjected to other feeding frequencies yielded intermediate values without any significant differences. The minimum feeding frequency of Nile tilapia fingerlings fed a low-protein ration supplemented with commercial amino acids is three times a day, owing to increased protein deposition rates and nitrogen retention efficiency.

title: Public Early Literacy Policies

description: Abstract: In the 2016 National Early Literacy Assessment (ANA) (INEP, 2017), 2,160,601 students from Brazilian public schools were evaluated at the end of the 3rd year of the Early Literacy Cycle, in reading and writing, among whom only 12.99% reached the aimed level (4) in reading and only 8.28% reached the aimed level (5) in writing. However, in the town of Lagarto (Sergipe State), which, according to the aforementioned evaluation, had ranked last in Brazil, with only 3.02% of students at the aimed level in reading, and penultimate place in writing, with only 1.84%, things became quite different. Being taught by the Scliar Early Literacy System, seventy children were reading with fluency and comprehension and, above all, with pleasure, by the end of their first year, in 2017. I analyze two documents on early literacy public policies: The final version of the Common National Curricular Base (BRAZIL, MEC 2017) and the decree 9.765 of April 11, 2019, which establishes the National Literacy Policy, and I explain why the lack of knowledge about advances in sciences such as linguistics, psycholinguistics, neuropsychology and neuroscience leads to failure in early literacy.

title: KSG estimation of reconstruction delay to detect vocal disorders in nonlinear dynamical analysis

description: Abstract Introduction This research investigates the applicability of a relatively new estimator of mutual information, KSG estimator, to find the reconstruction delay of phase space in dynamical systems. There are evidences that the KSG estimator is more accurate than the naive method commonly used. Methods In this paper we estimated mutual information between the voice signals and their delayed versions, with KSG method. The voice signals were obtained from a disordered voice database. Then, we found the reconstruction delay where mutual information reached its first minimum. We applied the encountered value of reconstruction delay in linear discriminant analysis, in order to discriminate between healthy and pathological voices or to discriminate between pathologies. Discrimination between voice pathologies using nonlinear measurements is still not much explored. Moreover, in this paper we used a single nonlinear measurement: reconstruction delay. Results The results show that the reconstruction delay obtained with KSG method has increased classification rates in most cases, in terms of accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, when compared to the naive estimator usually adopted. Conclusion The KSG estimator is a promising technique to improve the diagnosis of voice related pathologies.

title: THE RAVEN AND ITS FLIGHT TO THE BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE

description: Abstract Poe’s The raven has received several translations since it was first published in 1845, with many translators having already ventured into trying to understand its plot, which centers around a raven and its simple, albeit cold and terrifying, reply to a lonely bereaved lover, in an effort to transpose it into other languages and cultures. Now this enigmatic bird has come to visit the Brazilian deaf culture. This article discusses some strategies used in my translation of the poem into LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language)

title: Water Safety Plan for drinking water risk management: the case study of Mortara (Pavia, Italy)

description: Abstract The Water Safety Plan (WSP) approach is an iterative method focused on analyzing the risks of water contamination in a drinking water supply system, from catchment to consumer, in order to protect human health. This approach is aimed at identifying and drastically reducing water contamination in the entire drinking water system, through the identification and mitigation or, if possible, elimination of all factors that may cause a chemical, physical, microbiological and radiological risk for water. This study developed a proposal of WSP for the drinking water supply system (DWSS) of Mortara, Italy, in order to understand which are the preliminary evaluation aspects to be considered in the elaboration of a WSP. The DWSS of Mortara (a town of 15,500 inhabitants, located in northern Italy) consists of three drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs), considering the following main contaminants: arsenic, iron, manganese and ammonia. Potential hazardous events and associated hazards were identified in each part of the water supply system. The risk assessment was carried out following the semi-quantitative approach. The WSP proposal for Mortara was very useful not only as a risk mitigation approach, but also as a cost-effective tool for water suppliers. Furthermore, this approach will reduce public health risk, ensure a better compliance of water quality parameters with regulatory requirements, increase confidence of consumers and municipal authorities, and improve resource management due to intervention planning. Further, some new control measures are proposed by the WSP team within this work.

title: NEW OBJECTIVITY, NEW PEDAGOGY: CONCERNING AENNE BIERMANN. 60 PHOTOS, 1930

description: AbstractThe article analyzes the photo book, published in 1930, written by Aenne Biermann, artist who entered the movement of New German Pedagogy, which aimed to replace the teaching sustained in reading and in the books through direct contact with the elements of knowledge. The New Objectivity in photography, therefore, reached a pedagogical role of great importance in Germany of that period, to enable students eye contact with the things of the world. The photograph enabled the production of books with didactic images for use in the classroom, as well as learning of photography was included in German schools as a resource of creative graphic teaching and as teaching tool of various subjects through visual projection.

title: TOMORROW'S MASTERS: THE INTELLECTUAL ANÍSIO TEIXEIRA AND THE POSTGRADUATION IN BRAZIL (1951-1964)

description: Abstract This work has as object of study Teacher Training in a historical approach with the management of the educator Anísio Teixeira of the Superior level of Improvement Campaign - Capes - covering the period 1951-1964, placing the institution in the federal state apparatus in a context marked by the national-developmentalist model. It is understood that such period consolidated the institutional character of the Graduate in Brazil with increasing staff training to higher education institutions. The path to the scope of the subject matter of the examination rests on a qualitative methodology, history, documentary and bibliographic with the contributions of Cultural History and Political History. Thus, the sources used were reports, correspondence, presidential messages, regulatory frameworks, newsletters and magazines articulated under the sign of the use of strategies and tactics for individuals and collectives that have built an institutional network that led to the Capes central role in public policy development education within the Ministry of Education. Such centrality resulted in the construction of a national graduate system is a legacy to be examined at the present time in which we perceive a threat to maintaining the quality of this project in a series of spending cuts as much as the Post Graduation -graduate concerning the Brazilian Higher Education.

title: THE CONTEXTUAL INTERFERENCE EFFECT IN THE LEARNING OF A MANUAL AIMING TASK

description: ABSTRACT The association between contextual interference effect (CIE) and kinematic measures has been little investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the CIE on velocity and acceleration kinematic profiles of upper limb. Thirty-two subjects (23,7 ± 3,3 years) were assigned to groups of blocked practice (GPB) and random practice (GPA). The task consisted in achieve three targets in three specific sequences as quickly and accurately as possible. The study was designed in acquisition phase and transfer test. The variables of performance were reaction time, movement time, and response time and the kinematic variables were peak of speed, relative time to peak of speed, and number of peak acceleration points. The main findings showed that GPA showed lower movement time and response time than GPB. Regression analysis indicated that change in peak velocity during practice was associated to the change of the reaction time from practice to the transfer test. As peak velocity is a measure related to preprogramming, it is suggested that central control was essential to the CIE.

title: Introduction of forage legumes, liming and phosphorus in degraded “Brachiaria brizantha” pastures

description: SUMMARY There is a need to intensify livestock productivity to feed the growing world population. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the intercropping of Brachiaria pastures with Estilosantes and Calopogonio under application of lime and phosphate. Thus, was evaluated the organic and dry matter production, tiller density, dry matter and mineral content in degraded Brachiaria brizantha pastures, applying lime and phosphate and introducing legumes. The entirely randomized experimental design was used and a split plot scheme, with two types of legumes (Estilosantes Campo Grande and Calopogonio) and three strategies of fertilization (Control, CaCO3, CaCO3 + P). The lime and phosphate were performed on the pasture surface without incorporation. The introduction of legumes was carried by no-tillage practices after overgrazing. The evaluations were performed when the dossal reached 25 cm height with the assistance of a 0.25 m2 square. Legumes did not differ for the natural and dry matters production of Brachiaria brizantha (P &gt; 0.05), but the correction and fertilization factors (CaCO3 + P) improved significantly (P &lt; 0.05) the pastures mass production when the Estilosantes Campo Grande were usedin intercropping. The results show that is possible to intensify livestock productivity using forage legumes, associated with CaCO3 + P fertilization, to improve and recovery productivity of cultivated pastures in tropical regions.

title: SOA-BD: Service Oriented Architecture for Biomedical Devices

description: Introduction: The communication of information systems with biomedical devices has become complex not only due to the existence of several private communication protocols, but also to the immutable way that software is embedded into these devices. In this sense, this paper proposes a service-oriented architecture to access biomedical devices as a way to abstract the mechanisms of writing and reading data from these devices, thus contributing to enable the focus of the development team of biomedical software to be intended for its functional requirements, i.e. business rules relevant to the problem domain. Methods The SOA-BD architecture consists of five main components: A Web Service for transport and conversion of the device data, Communication Protocols to access the devices, Data Parsers to preprocess data, a Device Repository to store data and transmitted information and Error handling, for error handling of these information. For the development of SOA-BD, technologies such as the XML language and the Java programming language were used. Besides, Software Engineering concepts such as Design Patterns were also used. For the validation of this work, data has been collected from vital sign monitors in an Intensive Care Unit using HL7 standards. Results The tests obtained a difference of about only 1 second in terms of response time with the use of SOA-BD. Conclusion SOA-BD achieves important results such as the reduction on the access protocol complexity, the opportunity for treating patients over long distances, allowing easier development of monitoring applications and interoperability with biomedical devices from diverse manufacturers.
