title: Occurrence and Epidemiology of Fannia Spp. (Diptera: Fanniidae) in Laying Poultry Farms in State of Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Aspects related to epidemiology of flies belonging to Fannia genus were studied in order to determine predisposing factors for its occurrence in layer hens houses of commercial farms in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. An observational, analytical and sectional survey was conducted to verify major epidemiological aspects associated to infestations. This research was accomplished starting from an adapted secondary database of and structured with information on the presence and absence of ectoparasites and arthropods, characteristics of chicken houses, the poultry, type of facilities, geographical location and the management. The study was conducted in four hundred and thirty one houses located in forty three farms visited in 2012 year in the state of Minas Gerais. Ten farms (23.25%) and sixty eight houses (15,77%) were observed the presence diptera belonging to Fannia genus. The specie Fannia admirabilis was found in four farms (9,30%), Fannia albitarsis in two farms (4,65%) and only in one farm (2.32%) was observed the presence of Fannia canicularis. For three farms 6,98% was no possible to identify the species only Fannia genus. The epidemiological aspects for the occurrence of these flies were investigated using Poisson regression models. Characteristics such as farm, city of farm, presence of Histeridae beetles, type of facility (cage, on the floor with or without bedding) and the existence of mechanical removal of manure were associated with the occurrence of Fannia spp.

title: Association of Epistylis spp. (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) with parasitic crustaceans in farmed piava Megaleporinus obtusidens (Characiformes: Anostomidae)

description: Abstract Parasitic diseases have caused significant problems to global aquaculture production. These studies will further our knowledge of this complex problem and help implement adequate prevention measures and control strategies. The present study aimed to investigate the presence of parasites in Megaleporinus obtusidens and to describe the epidemiology and pathology of parasitic infections in these fish. Five moribund fish were sent for parasitological examination. The integument and gills were scrapped off with a glass slide, and samples were examined under a light microscope. Parasitic crustaceans found in these specimens were submitted for scanning electron microscopy and histological analyses. The crustaceans Dolops carvalhoi and Lernaea cyprinacea and the Epistylis spp. were present in all fish examined. Epistylis spp. were also seen on the entire surface of the crustacean integument. Microscopic lesions observed in the parasitized gills included hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the lamellar epithelium, an inflammatory infiltrate, telangiectasia, foci of hemorrhage and necrosis, fusion of the secondary lamellae, and detachment of the lamellar epithelium. Crustacean parasites are important mechanical vectors of Epistylis infection and disseminate the disease in fish farming operations. Epistylis spp. infection affects the health of fish and has significant ecological and economical impact on aquaculture.

title: Performance of low-fat beef burger with added soluble and insoluble dietary fibers

description: Abstract Inulin, fructooligosaccharide, oat fiber and wheat fiber were added at 3 and 6% level in low-fat beef burger and their performances were evaluated. The low-fat beef burgers were submitted to cooking losses, objective color, texture profile, TBARS value, pH, microbiological and sensory evaluations. FR3, FR6, IN3 e IN6 showed no difference from the control to yield. Hardness values increased in OF6, WF3 and WF6 and it was similar to control. WF6 was the lowest score for the overall acceptance. Higher yield and hardness were found with the addition of insoluble fibers at 6% level. The TBARS values were not influenced by the addition of dietary fibers in low-fat beef burger. Inulin at 6% (IN6) level showed the highest score for all the sensory attributes. Adding 6% inulin was shown the best alternative for use in low-fat beef burger.

title: Analysis of Behavioural Profile of Hens with the Use of Computer Software

description: ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to evaluate the emotional reactivity of hens with the use of physical parameters such as movement velocity and position of the selected parts of the body analysed by computer software - Tracker®. 200 Rhode Island White hens kept individually in a laying hen breeding farm were used in the study. The analysis of hens behaviour was performed with the use of Novel Object Test. Afterwards the video clips were analysed to determine behavioural reactivity with the use of Tracker® software by analysis of two control points: the upper part of the head and the peak of the tail. The results suggest that it is possible to use Tracker® software for evaluation of hens behavioural profile and this sort of analysis enables to classify hens to the groups of timid or curious/courageous birds based on the parameters of movement velocity of the upper part of the head and the peak of the tail and on the basis of the ratio between the position of the head and the tail.

title: Immune humoral response of young lambs naturally infested by Oestrus ovis (Diptera: Oestridae)

description: Abstract Twenty-six newborn lambs were evaluated for 21 weeks, from birth to slaughter, to assess their plasma anti-Oestrus ovis immunoglobulin (IgG) using the ELISA technique. On the last day of sampling, all the lambs were slaughtered and O. ovis larvae were recovered, quantified and identified according to the larval stage. High levels of IgG were observed over the first three weeks of life, thus indicating that antibodies are transferred via colostrum from ewes to lambs. Afterwards, the antibody levels declined progressively until the lambs were 11 weeks of age and subsequently started to increase again when they were around 13 weeks of age, reaching the apex on the last week of sampling. All the lambs were parasitized with different larval stages of O. ovis, with an average of 39 larvae per lamb, and the intensity of the infestation ranged from 10 to 97 larvae. However, there was non-significant correlation coefficients between IgG levels and O. ovis larval burden (P &gt; 0.05). In conclusion, although the lambs became infested with O. ovis at an early age, the larval burden was not associated with specific IgG levels.

title: CELLULASE IMMOBILIZATION ON POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE) NANOPARTICLES BY MINIEMULSION POLYMERIZATION

description: Abstract Cellulases are efficient enzymes for the conversion of cellulose into glucose. Their use in immobilized form enables them to be reused in successive cycles in many biotechnological processes. Unlike conventional methods of immobilization by covalent bonding, in miniemulsion polymerization the immobilization of enzyme and the synthesis of polymer nanoparticles (support) occur simultaneously. Based on these aspects, the immobilization of cellulose on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles by miniemulsion polymerization was studied. The surfactant type (non-ionic and ionic) and latex pH showed great influence on cellulase activity. High activity values were obtained only when non-ionic surfactant (Lutensol AT50) and buffering agent (NaHCO3) were used simultaneously. MMA polymerization rate and final monomer conversion were not affected by the presence of cellulase. The maximum immobilization efficiency (60%) was obtained when 6 wt.% of cellulase was used and stable PMMA nanoparticles (133 nm) were obtained. The relative activity profile of immobilized cellulase, for pH as well as temperature, was similar to that reported for the free form. Immobilized enzyme keeps its activity throughout seven days when stored at 4 ºC and phosphate buffer pH 6.0. Based on the results obtained in this work, miniemulsion polymerization as a method for cellulase immobilization on PMMA nanoparticles showed to be a promising technique with high possibility of industrial application.

title: The use of WhatsApp in the physician-patient relationship

description: Abstract This article describes how the WhatsApp application is used in the physician-patient relationship at the pediatrics and obstetrics outpatient clinic of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia Foundation in the State of Pará, Brazil, and discusses its ethical implications. Data was collected in qualitative field research using a semi-structured questionnaire applied to eight physicians. As a result, it was observed that among the situations of preferential use of WhatsApp mentioned by the respondents is the clarification of doubts (62.5%). Among the disadvantages mentioned by the interviewees is the trivialization of the use of this type of service by patients (37.5%), and 62.5% consider the use of the application ethical. We conclude that there is a lack of research on the subject addressed and of regulation of the use of the application in the health area.

title: PVT EXPERIMENTAL AND MODELLING STUDY OF SOME SHALE RESERVOIR FLUIDS FROM ARGENTINA

description: Abstract Shale reservoir fluids have been receiving much attention, especially during the last decade, due to the important reserves confirmed in many places around the world and the recent production growth in the United States, Argentina, and probably other countries to follow. In some fields of the Vaca Muerta formation in Argentina, the fluids can be classified as gas condensate or near-critical in some cases, presenting retrograde condensation of up to 30% in volume. This work presents compositional and PVT data of two gas condensate fluids, together with a new methodology for assigning molecular weights and densities to the different carbon number fractions when measured values are available for the whole fluid or liquid phase and only a weight fraction is collected through chromatography for each single cut. A thermodynamic modelling study of these fluids, and also a third one classified as volatile oil, is based on both the PR (Peng and Robinson, 1976) and RKPR (Redlich Kwong Peng Robinson, apud Cismondi and Mollerup, 2005) equations of state, together with different ways of characterizing the heavy fractions. The focus is on phase envelopes, but knowing only the saturation point at the reservoir temperature, and also on retrograde behavior.

title: HYDRODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A STRUCTURED BED REACTOR SUBJECTED TO RECIRCULATION AND INTERMITTENT AERATION (SBRRIA)

description: ABSTRACT This work aimed at evaluating the effect of recirculation ratio on the degree of mixing in the flow of a structured bed reactor. Stimulus-response assays were carried out with hydraulic retention times of 6 h and 12 h, subjected to recirculation ratios of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The assays were undertaken with dextran blue as a tracer and without aeration. The results fitted a compartment model, allowing the determination of the mixed-flow and plug-flow volumes inside the reactor. The model application showed that recirculation ratios between 1 and 3 do not increase the mixed-flow volume of the reactor. Higher mixed-flow volumes were obtained at recirculation rates higher than 4 for both 6 h and 12 h of hydraulic retention times. The results obtained in this research are important for future applications of this reactor configuration, promoting a mixed flow in the reactor with a minimum recirculation ratio.
