title: Instrument for measuring home cooking skills in primary health care

description: ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To develop and validate an instrument for measuring the home cooking skills of health professionals involved with guidelines for promoting adequate and healthy food in primary health care. METHODS This is a methodological study with a psychometric approach, carried out in the city of São Paulo between January and November 2020, to develop and validate a self-applied online instrument. The data of the 472 participants were presented by descriptive statistics. Content validation was performed by expert judgment using the two round Delphi technique and empirical statistics for consensus evidence. Exploratory factor analysis was used for construct validation and reliability analysis, and the model adjustment rates and composite reliability were analyzed. RESULTS The instrument presented satisfactory content validity for CVRc indices and �� in the two rounds of the Delphi technique. After the factor analysis, the final model of the Primary Health Care Home Cooking Skills Scale presented 29 items with adequate factorial loads (&gt; 0.3). Bartlett’s and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin’s (KMO) tests of sphericity performed in exploratory factorial analysis suggested interpretability in the correlation matrix, the parallel analysis indicated four domains and explained variance of 64.1%. The composite reliability of the factors was adequate (&gt; 0.70) and the H-index suggested replicable factors in future studies. All adjustment rates proved to be adequate. CONCLUSIONS The Primary Health Care Home Cooking Skills Scale presented evidence of validity and reliability. It is short and easy to apply and will make it possible to reliably ascertain the need for qualification of the workforce, favoring the planning of actions and public policies of promotion of adequate and healthy food in primary health care.

title: Preliminary Study to Investigate the Effect of Lactobacillus Reuteri Administration on Growth Performance, Immunological, Gut Microbiome and Intestinal Mucosa of Chicken

description: ABSTRACT The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of oral administration of L. reuteri on growth performance, intestine histomorphology, immunological and gut microbiome of broilers. A total of twenty healthy chickens were used in a five-week experimental trial. Birds were assigned into one of two groups with orally administrated L. reuteri probiotic and without probiotic- (Control -Phosphate-buffered saline). A significant (p&lt;0.05) body weight gain was observed in the chickens in L. reuteri treatment group compare to those in the control group at the end of the trial. In addition, the serum IGF-1 cytokines level significantly enhanced in L. reuteri treatment group. However, there were no notable effects observed on the villus height, crypt depth, muscularis thickness, and submucosal thickness in chickens orally inject with and without L. reuteri. At the phylum level, the presence of Firmicutes (99.5%) was highly abundantin the L. reuteri treatment group. Moreover, the fecal microbial communities of Lactobacillus (99.9%) showed average relative abundance at genus level in L. reuteri treatment group. From this, we concluded that oral administration of L. reuteri would be beneficial to enhance the body weight gain, gut microbiome, and immune status of broiler.

title: A Theoretical Map of Formative Practices Aimed at Teachers who Teach Mathematics in the Early Years

description: Abstract This theoretical map, carried out according to the conceptions of Biembengut (2008), aimed to identify and understand the training practices facing teachers who teach mathematics in the early years of elementary school. To achieve this goal, a search for papers was carried out on the Journal Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). We opted for the advanced search, selecting, at the same time, the term “teacher education” in the title and the term “mathematics” in any part of the publication, limited to the data range 01/01/2011 to 24/09/2021. In this first movement, 452 documents were retrieved, which were exported to an electronic spreadsheet. From this, repeated documents were excluded, and the search was carried out, in the abstracts and keywords, for the terms that characterize the initial years of elementary school. After this step, the selection was restricted to 63 articles for reading the abstracts, in order to identify approximation with the objective of this study. This refinement resulted in 15 articles, which constituted the corpus of this research. The map showed that there is greater interest in practices that promote the appreciation of the profession and teaching knowledge, as well as pointing out that Numbers and Operations are the most developed mathematical concepts in educational processes. The results also reinforce the importance of sharing experiences and collective and collaborative construction for the professional development of teachers.

title: INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COST-EFFECTIVE PHOTOMETRIC PH METER SENSOR USING NATURAL PIGMENTS

description: There is a trend of development of analytical methodologies and technologies that allow in situ analysis, producing accurate information in real time, at low cost, using homemade experiments and devices to increase interest in scientific knowledge with a constructive approach in an interdisciplinary perspective in Chemistry Education. In this context, a photometric-chemometric method of analysis was developed to measure the pH of solutions using easily accessible and low-cost material based on the use of natural pigments found in red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.). Calibrations and determinations were performed by RGB measurements of pigment coloration in solution at different pH values using the free app Photometrix, converted to HSV, YCbCr and YUV color spaces and processed by Partial Least Squares regression (PLS). The best PLS model found was HSV with mean central scale obtained pH measurements with RMSEP 0.98, R2 0.97 and bias close to zero. In addition, experimental data were statistically validated. Analyzes of predicted pH from three independents experiments revealed high recoveries (95-103%) and low relative standard deviations. Thus, the PhotoMetrix app was viable for colorimetric pH determinations using the low-cost photometric pH meter sensor and a smartphone, improving accessibility and applicability in Chemistry Education.

title: THE INFLUENCE OF THE FILM FORMED ON THE PRATO CHEESE SURFACE DURING THE NACL AND KCL SALTING PROCESS: APPLICATION OF THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD AND NEURAL NETWORKS OF THE SELF-ORGANIZING MAP (SOM) AND MULTILAYER PERCEPTRON (MLP) TYPES

description: Sodium chloride is used in the cheese salting process as it promotes sensory changes and food preservation. However, in excess can cause hypertension problems, and for this reason, it has been partially replaced by potassium chloride. In the present work, Prato cheese was subjected to joint diffusion of NaCl and KCl by immersion in static and stirred brine. The salt concentration values on the cheese surface were determined as a function of time. They were tabulated and presented to the self-organizing map (SOM)-type neural networks and the multilayer perceptron (MLP) for analysis and modeling of the film formed on the surface of the cheese during static and dynamic salting. The SOM network showed that the behavior of the diffusive process, on the surface of the cheese, depends on the analyzed position and that the points in which occupy similar positions, concerning the distance from the edge, have similar behavior. Regression models for NaCl and KCl were significant at the 5% level and can be used for predictive purposes.

title: ENHANCED REMOVAL OF PERSISTENT CONTAMINANTS AND TOXICITY REDUCTION THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF A TRIPLE-STAGE FENTON PROCESS TO SANITARY LANDFILL LEACHATES FROM YUCATAN, MEXICO

description: Sanitary landfill leachate (SLL) is a mixture of highly toxic and recalcitrant pollutants that threatens the water quality of the Yucatán Peninsula karst aquifer, one of the most extensive aquifers on the planet. To reduce the adverse environmental impacts of this wastewater, a triple-stage Fenton process (FP) was applied in an old SLL. Removal efficiencies were evaluated in terms of physicochemical variables, metal(oid)s concentrations, mass spectrometric identification of organic compounds and Daphnia magna acute toxicity test. The triple-stage FP achieved an 88% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, representing an improvement of 13% compared to FP performed in a single stage. Further, metal(oid)s such as aluminum, arsenic, chromium, nickel and zinc as well as organic compounds were substantially reduced. With respect to acute toxicity, the treatment produced a 64% reduction. Thus, this treatment system seems to be an effective option to reduce the dangerous level of SLL.

title: MICROPLASTICS: APPLICATIONS IN THE COSMETIC INDUSTRY AND IMPACTS ON THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT

description: Environmental pollution from plastics and microplastics is currently one of the most relevant issues of the scientific community and cosmetic industry. In particular, microplastics are referred to as small pieces of plastic less than five millimeters (&lt;5mm) and do not dissolve in water, can be harmful to the ocean and aquatic life. Microplastics can be designated as i) primary - particles that are intentionally developed as micro sized plastic particles used in cosmetic formulations like microbeads, and ii) secondary microplastics - stem from all kinds of plastic material debris result of decomposition caused by UV radiation, mechanical stress (ocean waves) and wind action. This article gives an overview about plastics/microplastics, that are mainly used in personal care products and cosmetic. Moreover, we attempt to demonstrated some of the major problems that microplastics based materials can cause in the aquatic life leading to a human health concern. In this context, the interaction between microplastic-contaminants and possible effects in the environment or organisms was explore based on the literature analysis.
