title: Leadership and management: a study in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the metropolitan region of Recife, PE

description: Abstract: The objective of the research is to analyze the relationships between leadership, strategic management practices and the continuity of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The research will be qualitative. Data collection will be performed through three techniques: semi-structured interviews with the leaders of the institutions, documentary analysis and questionnaire application with leaders and collaborators. The analysis will be done in eight non-governmental organizations with headquarters in the state of Pernambuco. As data analysis technique, the speech analysis method was used. The results showed the relationships of transformational leadership and strategic management practices, among some aspects, with the clear understanding of strategies and the translation of objectives for the entire institution. As for the charismatic leadership characteristics, the high communication capacity was identified, which allows the team to be directed to the objectives. We also observed aspects of transactional leadership that demonstrate a relationship with internal aspects, monitoring of activities, compliance with standards and monitoring errors and deviations committed by the team.

title: Characterization and comparison of yeasts from different sources for some probiotic properties and exopolysaccharide production

description: Abstract A total of 134 strains of yeasts isolated from fruits and vegetables (certain berry fruits, apples, pomegranates, carrots and grapes), free-range chicken feces and dairy products, and from 10 commercial yeast preparations were identified and subjected to analyses to determine their in vitro probiotic properties. Based on 26S rRNA sequence analysis all ten isolates from commercial products were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the natural isolates as Candida corpophila, Candida diddensiae, Clavispora lusitaniae, Hanseniaspora opuntiae, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Kazachstania bovina, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Metschnikowia. pulcherrima, Metschnikowia sp., Meyerozyma carribbica, Pichia kluyveri and Wickerhamomyces anomalus. All isolates were found to be resistant to simulated gastric juice at pH 2.5 for 2 h and were able to grow at both 30 and 37 °C. The exopolysaccharide (EPS) production of isolates from commercial preparations and from natural sources varied between 249-275.22 and 27.95-272.22 mg/L, respectively. Two of the natural isolates had levels of EPS production comparable to the natural strains (S. cerevisiae T8-3C and S. cerevisiae P25-1) with 264.63 and 272.53 mg/L, respectively. Isolates were also investigated for autoaggregation and coaggregation abilities. The highest coaggregation ability was determined for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae P25-1 strain against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923).

title: EFFICACY OF CURCUMA LONGA IN THE TREATMENT OF DIVERSION COLITIS IN RATS

description: ABSTRACT Background: Diversion colitis is still very common in our country, since the stoma creation is a common practice especially in situations of trauma. needing treatment for this condition. Aim: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of rectal infusion of Curcuma longa (turmeric) in the excluded intestinal segment of rats. Method: Eighteen Wistar rats were used and submitted to colostomy: control group (n=8) under rectal saline infusion and group CL, receiving intra-rectal infusion of Curcuma longa extract (n=10). After 21 days of treatment they were submitted to euthanasia; the intestinal segment excluded from intestinal transit was resected and sent to histopathological evaluation, classifying the degree of inflammation and of vascular congestion. Results: The average of inflammation was 2.7 in the control group vs. 2.6 in the CL group (p=0.3125), while the mean vascular congestion was 2.3 and 2.1, respectively, in the control and CL groups (p=0.1642). Conclusion: Intra-rectal infusion of Curcuma longa extract was not able to minimize the inflammatory process or vascular congestion in the diversion colitis of rats subjected to colostomy.

title: WATER HOLDING CAPACITY AND HEAT TRANSFER ASPECTS OF A MIXTURE OF SUGAR CANE BAGASSE AND WHEAT BRAN IN A PARTIALLY FILLED ROTATING DRUM

description: Abstract Maximum water holding capacity of a mixture of sugarcane bagasse and wheat bran was determined in static conditions and in a drum rotated at 1 rpm. The variables filling degree, water flow rate, volume of added water and number of sprinklers were tested to control the moisture content of the solid and the number of rotations to achieve homogeneous moisture content. None of the selected variables was significant, giving the apparatus high flexibility to control moisture content. For the heat transfer experiments, the tested variables were introduction of air through an inner tube amidst the particles, water sprinkling over the bed and drum rotation. The selected variables represented limited mechanisms of heat removal, although efficient when coupled with the drum rotation. The results are of value to control the temperature and the moisture content in solid-state cultivation bioreactors.

title: Centesimal and mineral composition of the fruit in Brazilian genotypes of feijoa (Acca sellowiana)

description: Abstract This research was carried out to evaluate centesimal [dry matter (DM), ash, and crude contents of proteins (CP), fats (CFt) and fiber (CFb)] and mineral composition (Ca, Mg, N, P, K, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn) of peel and flesh tissues of feijoa fruit (cultivars Alcântara, Mattos, Helena and Nonante, and accession 2316). The genotypes had, in the flesh, DM of 12.10-15.40%, ash of 0.33-0.40%, CP of 0.95-1.45%, CFt of 0.56-1.72%, and CFb of 1.39-2.43%, and in the peel DM of 12.8-17.27%, ash of 0.30-1.49%, CP of 0.56-0.88%, CFt of 0.57-0.90%, and CFb of 2.54-3.98%. The contents of Ca, Mg, K, N and P in the peel were 96-116, 20-30, 1588-3635, 1096-1643 and 68-83 mg kg-1 FW, respectively, and in the flesh were 56-92, 17-29, 1358-2917, 2017-3384 and 255-374 mg kg-1 FW, respectively. Among the micronutrients, Fe had the highest content in peel and flesh tissues (~3.5 mg kg-1 FW). The results show that feijoa fruit represent a dietary source of CP, CFt and CFb, as well as of minerals, especially of P and N in the flesh, and of K and Fe in the peel and flesh tissues.

title: THE SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS OF MYOSTATIN GENE AND THEIR ASSOCIATIONS WITH GROWTH AND CARCASS TRAITS IN DAHENG BROILER

description: ABSTRACT Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. In order to investigate whether there is a correlation between MSTN polymorphisms and chicken production performance, in this study, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MSTN gene were examined across 180 Daheng broilers by direct sequencing of PCR product, and the correlations between the genotype and body weight at the age of 1-10 weeks and carcass traits at the age of 73 day were analyzed. Five SNPs (rs313622770, rs313744840, rs316247861, rs314431084, rs317126751) of MSTN gene were identified across Daheng broiler samples, and four haplotypes were reconstructed based on the five SNPs. Results of association analysis showed that four (rs313622770, rs313744840, rs316247861 and rs317126751) of these SNPs had significant association with some growth traits (p&lt;0.05), but there were no significant effect on carcass traits and the four SNPs were strong linkage. For rs314431084, there was no significant correlation between different genotypes and growth or carcass traits. The AA genotype of rs313622770, GG genotype of rs313744840, CC genotype of rs316247861, TT genotype of rs317126751 were good for chicken growth. Diplotypes were significantly associated with chest muscle and leg muscle weight (p&lt;0.05). Overall, these results provide evidence that polymorphisms in MSTN gene are associated with growth traits in chicken. The SNPs in MSTN gene could be utilized as potential markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) during chicken breeding.

title: A fast drying method for the production of salted-and-dried meat

description: Abstract The objective of this work was to investigate the application of microwave vacuum drying (MWVD) as a fast drying method to produce salted-and-dried beef cuts. Moreover, aiming to reduce the sodium content in the meat product, the partial replacement of NaCl by KCl during the salting stage was also investigated. To this end, beef cuts were salted by immersion in one of three saline solutions before drying: Solution A- 100% NaCl; Solution B- 75% NaCl and 25% KCl; and (iii) Solution C- 50% NaCl and 50% KCl. The proposed MWVD method was compared with convective drying (CD) and vacuum drying (VD) in terms of drying kinetics as well as physicochemical and mechanical properties of obtained samples. The average drying times for the samples to reach water activity of 0.7 was more than 40 h for CD, 36 h for VD, and 0.45 h for MWVD. The salting with different solutions had no influence in these times. Moreover, the MWVD samples presented higher values of porosity and rehydration capacity. Thus, the results presented in this study have technological importance for the design of new industrial technologies to produce salted-and-dried meat, as charque and jerked beef, with lower sodium content.

title: Adoption of business game under the perspective of an excellence model in an MBA course: multicriteria peer evaluation analysis

description: Abstract This article describes a business game, one of the last courses in an MBA syllabus. The database analyzed consists of outcomes from 47 classes and 1410 students. The aim of the game is to integrate the skills and abilities acquired during the program. The game considerers an evaluation system with 39 items based on an Excellence Model that covers important aspects of the management process. Only six evaluation items are financial goals; the remaining 33 go through a peer evaluation. These items deal with consumer-supplier aspects and management issues. A reduction in dimensionality was attained through a Factor Analysis that yielded 14 factors. Is it possible to identify the relevant factors for winning the game? Two distinct tests (significance of a logit model parameters and t-test for equality of means) are performed to answer this question. A generalized linear model using a logit link function and a Bernoulli distribution was fitted to the data, confirming that most factors with statistically significant differences in the mean between winners and other participants were also significant in the model. Participants’ feedback confirmed that the game was well received by the students: it boosted students’ morale and interest in the subject, fostered entrepreneurship and less absenteeism, increased the degree of class participation, awareness of teamwork, and planning, and created an environment that favored a discussion on business ethics.

title: Proposal of a performance measurement system for sustainable management on construction site

description: Abstract Although several methods for sustainable management on construction sites have been developed in recent years, not enough tools are available to measure and evaluate its performance. The aim of this study is to propose a measurement system to evaluate the performance of sustainable management on construction sites, determining good practices as a strategy to support the implementation of those indicators and the mitigation of environmental impacts. The research approach adopted was Design Science Research, involving the following steps: (1) a literature review, to identify good practices and indicators proposed in this research study; (2) data collection, to evaluate the use of the proposed indicators; (3) pilot implementation of the proposed performance measurement system on a construction site; and (4) evaluation of the performance measurement system, expected positive impacts, implementation and monitoring of actions, and the usability and ease of the SI. The main contributions of this study are the development of the Performance Measurement System for Sustainable Management in Construction Sites (SIGS), consisting of 26 indicators, in which objective criteria were established to evaluate the environmental impacts; identifying good practices for reducing environmental impacts; and the identification of facilitating factors and hindering factors for SIGS implementation.
