title: Salicylic acid alleviates salt stress on guava plant physiology during rootstock formation

description: ABSTRACT Guava is a fruit widely produced in Northeast Brazil, a region that has sources of water with high levels of salts, making it difficult for irrigated fruit production to expand. Thus, it is extremely important to search for techniques that allow the management of these waters in irrigated agriculture. Thus, the objective of present study was to evaluate the photosynthetic pigments, the quantum yield of photosystem II, and the intercellular leakage of electrolytes in the leaf blade of ‘Paluma’ guava seedlings as a function of irrigation with water of different salinities and foliar application of salicylic acid during rootstock formation phase. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using the randomized block design in a 5 × 5 factorial arrangement, which consisted of five values of electrical conductivity of water - ECw (0.6, 1.5, 2.4, 3.3, and 4.2 dS m-1) and five concentrations of salicylic acid (0, 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, and 3.2 mM L-1), with four replicates, and two plants per plot. Salicylic acid up to 1.3 mM L-1 increased the relative water content and decreased electrolyte leakage in the leaf blade of ‘Paluma’ guava seedlings. Foliar application of salicylic acid at a concentration of 1.7 mM L-1 attenuated the effects of salt stress on chlorophyll a of guava seedlings irrigated with water of up to 1.6 dS m-1. The deleterious effects of salt stress on carotenoid concentration and quantum efficiency of photosystem II were not attenuated by the application of salicylic acid.

title: Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of dehydrated coffee pulp in function of drying temperature

description: ABSTRACT Currently, the use of coffee pulp to prepare infusions is being studied based on its antioxidant properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of drying temperature on the chemical properties of dehydrated coffee pulp to characterize the coffee pulp beverage in single-dose capsules physically and sensorially after being subjected to three thermal treatments (CT, natural drying; T50, oven drying at 50°C; T60, oven drying at 60°C). Chemical characterization of the dehydrated pulp was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis (ATR-FTIR) and liquid chromatography (HPLC). Next, physical and sensorial characterization of the beverage was performed to determine the soluble solids (SS), pH, titratable acidity, and color. On the other hand, this beverage was evaluated sensorially. Principal component analysis was performed on the data from the FTIR spectral ranges of 1,800-650 cm-1. Physicochemical and sensory results were analyzed using ANOVA. The chemical, physical, and sensory behavioral results allowed the identification of T60 as a viable processing treatment.

title: Correlation of photosynthetic pigments content with indicators of seed quality in the seeds of carrot, celery, dill, parsley, and parsnip

description: Abstract: The content of photosynthetic pigments, especially chlorophylls, has a significant effect on the quality, viability, and storability of seeds. Determination of photosynthetic pigments together with the correlation with seed quality parameters, such as germination and radicle emergence, lead to the possibility of using the pigments content as a new indicator of seed quality. The photosynthetic pigments content was determined spectrophotometrically from extracts of commercial mature seeds of carrot, celery, dill, parsley, and parsnip. The content of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene, and lutein varied among species of family Apiaceae and among varieties within species. Spectrophotometry was verified as easy, quick, and inexpensive method that can be used for the determination of photosynthetic pigments in mature seeds. The individual pigments content was compared to seed quality parameters such as standard germination, germination speed index (GSI), and radicle emergence (RE), which was carried out at 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 h. Based on the correlation of photosynthetic pigments content with seed quality parameters (GSI and RE), chlorophyll b and lutein content were selected, and can be used as the new markers of seed quality.

title: Tetrazolium test to assess the viability of kale seeds

description: Abstract: Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) has great importance due to its easy propagation, acceptability and nutraceutical properties. The aim of the present work was to make methodological adjustments to conduct the tetrazolium test in kale seeds. Pre-tests were initially carried out to assess the priming time at 20 °C for 10 and 14 hours (times defined by the imbibition curve) and methods of removing the coat of kale seeds (total removal of the seed coat; cut in the distal region to the embryonic axis; longitudinal cut along the longest axis and whole seeds). Subsequently, the most efficient methodologies were evaluated using different concentrations of the tetrazolium salt solution (0.075%; 0.2%; 0.5% and 1.0%) and times (2, 4 and 6 h) of seed immersion in the solution, using four lots. The seeds were analyzed individually and classified as viable or non-viable. The tetrazolium test is efficient for evaluating the viability of kale seeds, providing results correlated with germination. Kale seeds should be primed between paper for 10 hours at 20 °C, and the seed coat should be removed for immersion in a 0.5% tetrazolium salt solution for 4 hours at 30 °C.

title: Impact of pharmacist intervention in patients with Alzheimer's disease

description: Abstract To assess the therapy relative to indication, effectiveness, safety and adherence in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). An interventional, prospective, non-randomized study was conducted in a single secondary care center in Brazil. The pharmacist-led medication therapy management (MTM) was conducted to detect drug-related problems (DRPs) at baseline and after six months of intervention. The health status outcomes (i.e. cognitive screening tests; levels of glucose; total cholesterol; triglycerides; thyroid stimulating hormone; serum free thyroxine and blood pressure) were measured. 66 patients with AD were included, of whom 55 patients completed the follow-up of six months. 36 patients (36/55) were non-adherent to AD drug therapy. Out of detected 166 DRPs, 116 were solved. Four patients were withdrawn from the AD protocol due to resolution of prodromal symptoms. On the conclusion of the study, the MTM improved and controlled blood pressure, glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides levels (p&lt;0.05). The pharmacist-led MTM was effective in solving 69.8% of DRPs, improving and controlling the clinical parameters evaluated.

title: Orofacial antinociceptive effects of perillyl alcohol associated with codeine and its possible modes of action

description: Abstract This study evaluated the orofacial antinociceptive effect of (S)-(-)-perillyl alcohol (PA) associated with codeine (C) and investigated the possible molecular anchorage mechanisms of PA. Mice (n = 5 per group) were treated with PA alone and associated with codeine and assigned to the following groups: 75.0 mg/kg PA; 75.0 mg/kg PA + C 30 mg/kg; PA 37.5 mg/kg + C 15.0 mg/kg; C 30.0 mg/kg; and control. Nociception was induced by formalin, capsaicin, and glutamate, and was quantified based on the duration (in seconds) of face grooming. The possible mechanisms of action were evaluated by molecular docking study. In the formalin test, PA75/C30 presented an effect in the neurogenic (p &lt; 0.0001) and inflammatory (p &lt; 0.005) phases. Mice treated with PA75 (p &lt; 0.0001) and PA75/C30 (p &lt; 0.0005) showed a reduced nociceptive behavior in the capsaicin test. Glutamate-induced nociception also was blocked by PA75 (p &lt; 0.0005) and C30 (p &lt; 0.0005). The molecular anchorage analysis indicated high negative binding energy values for the evaluated receptors, especially glutamate receptors (AMPA -79.57 Kcal/mol, mGLUR6 -71.25, and NMDA -66.33 Kcal/mol). PA associated with codeine showed orofacial antinociceptive activity, with theoretical evidence of interaction with glutamate receptors.

title: Cold stress reduces rice grain yield in temperate conditions

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the cold stress effect in natural field conditions by employing different rice sowing timings over three years, to identify national varieties tolerant to cold stress at the vegetative and generative stages, and to propose a data-derived solution regarding termination and resowing due to cold stress conditions. Early, regular, and late sowing dates were employed to capture natural cold stress conditions in a 3-year-long experiment. Sowing dates resulting in the greatest yields fluctuated from regular to late sowing dates, according to the stress duration in cold stress years. Yield losses resulting from cold stress ranged from 0.810 to 2.740 t ha-1 and reached 38.6%. ‘Halilbey,’ ‘Pasali,’ and ‘Mevlutbey’ were found to be most cold-tolerant varieties. Grain yield was correlated with plant number; the critical minimum level was between 60.8 and 79.6 plants m-2 and the optimum was 132.3 plants m-2 for economical yield. Cold stress negatively affected rice plant density, and plant densities below the critical minimum plant warranted crop termination and resowing, depending on application costs. Cold stress had a far more devastating effect on germination and seedling stages than on later development stages in temperate conditions.

title: LOCAL RULE AND LEADERSHIP PATTERN: POLITICAL DISPUTE AND PARTY ORGANIZATION IN THE MARANHÃO PROVINCE (1840/1857)

description: Abstract This paper address two distinct but related questions: identify how the provincial political elite is configured based on information from the Provincial Assembly and debates in the press of the time; and identify the formation and organization of local political groups that congregated around certain interests, perspectives, and identities. This will allow us to question the current historiographical hypothesis that local political groups / parties were not formed following a leadership pattern, exercising command as an auxiliary, secondary activity. First, the article looks at the composition of the Provincial Assembly to verify if there were groups engaged in the ‘occupation of politics.’ Then, it addresses a key point to understand the organization of Maranhão’s political groups: the repeated reference to the local party organization and its transformations. In this regard, the analysis focuses on the formation of the Liga Liberal Maranhense, an agglutination of dissidents from the two main parties in the Maranhão province: the cabanos (saquaremas/conservatives) and bemtevis (luzias/liberals). This paper seeks to demonstrate that its formation, in 1846, is fundamental to understanding Maranhão’s political groups.
