title: Mixed states and suicidal behavior: a systematic review

description: Abstract Introduction The objective of this study was to identify whether mixed states in bipolar disorder (BD) are associated with more frequent suicidal behavior when compared to manic/hypomanic and depressive episodes. Method We performed a systematic search of the scientific literature on the subject using the PubMed, ISI Web Of Science, PsycINFO and SciELO databases. The terms chosen for the search were (bipolar) AND (suicid*) AND (mixed). We selected original studies comparing suicidal behavior of patients in mixed states and suicidal behavior of patients in other BD phases. Results Sixteen papers fit the selection criteria. Twelve of the original 16 studies compared suicidal behavior in mixed states and pure mania, and the majority of these studies (n = 11) revealed that suicidal behavior was more frequent among individuals in mixed states. Five of the papers compared suicidal behavior between depressive and mixed phases of BD. One of these five papers reported more severe suicidal behavior in patients in mixed states and another described more frequent suicidal behavior in patients with pure depression. There were no significant statistical differences between groups in the remaining three of these five studies. Conclusion During acute BD episodes, suicidal behavior is more strongly associated with mixed states than with pure mania or hypomania. However, it was not possible to demonstrate that the association between suicidal behavior and mixed states is stronger than the association between suicidal behavior and depressive phases. The results hereby presented are worth considering in clinical practice to better evaluate suicide risk and to prevent suicide.

title: PRODUCTION OF FATTY ACID METHYL ESTERS FROM AN OLIVE OIL INDUSTRY WASTE

description: ABSTRACT This work studies the synthesis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) using crude olive pomace oil as raw material and zinc stearate as catalyst. Pomace oil is a non-edible by-product of olive oil production. The oil was characterized. In order to reduce the plant pigment content in the oil, the liquid was contacted with a modified clay. An experimental design was applied to determine the optimum operating conditions to achieve the minimum pigment concentration and the maximum amount of recovered oil. Response surface methodology was used to study the relationship between process variables and the selected response variables. A mixed-level factorial design was used, and the studied responses were triglyceride and free fatty acid (FFA) conversion and FAME yield at 30 min of reaction time. Under optimum conditions (temperature (T): 140ºC, catalyst loading (C): 3 wt%, initial molar ratio of the reactants (MR): 30), 98% and 67% of triglyceride and FFA conversions were achieved, with 84% of FAME yield. This study shows that pomace oil can be used as a raw material for biodiesel production. At short reaction times and under moderate operating conditions, it was possible to convert triglycerides and fatty acids selectively toward FAME.

title: Retarding effect of grinding dust and its influence on the physical-mechanical and rheological properties of cementitious matrices

description: Abstract The present study evaluated the feasibility of the use of grinding dust (GD), a waste generated in the clutch disc finishing process, as a retardant additive in cementitious matrices. For this, the waste was added in contents of 5%, 10% and 15%, relative to the cement weight, and the setting time was determined by the Vicat method. In addition, the influence of this material on rheology (flow table, squeeze-flow and rotational rheometry) and on the physical-mechanical properties of the hardened matrices was analyzed. The results indicated an increase in setting time and a reduction in the fluidity of the mortars as a function of the addition of GD and the best results for the hardened state properties were verified for the cementitious matrices containing a 5% addition. Therefore, it was observed that GD is effective in retarding the setting time, presenting great potential for use in civil construction, without impairing its properties.

title: Morphophysiology of buffel grass grown under different water supplies in the dry and dry-rainy seasons

description: ABSTRACT The lack of information on the growth of forage grasses in semi-arid environment, especially from the perspective of irrigation, is one of the obstacles to regular forage supply, as well as to the rational use of irrigation water. The objective with this study was to evaluate the leaf gas exchanges, biomass flow and structural characteristics of buffel grass cultivar Gayndah under different water supplies (30, 60, 90 and 120% of the reference evapotranspiration - ETo) during the dry season and dry-rainy season, in completely randomized design in a split-plot scheme with three repetitions. The experiment was conducted in Sobral, CE, Brazil (3° 45’ 00.77” S and 40° 20’ 38.55” W, altitude of 101 m) from September 2015 to January 2016. A higher photosynthetic rate was verified during the dry season, evidencing the adaptability of buffel grass to environments with water restriction. Overall, the best morphogenic and structural characteristics and the biomass production were observed in the dry season. The 90% ETo regime leads to maximum amount of forage accumulation, whereas the 30% ETo allows the maintenance of the cultivar Gayndah of buffel grass in a state of latency during the dry season.

title: Recognition of dynamic and static facial expressions of emotion among older adults with major depression

description: Abstract Introduction The recognition of facial expressions of emotion is essential to living in society. However, individuals with major depression tend to interpret information considered imprecise in a negative light, which can exert a direct effect on their capacity to decode social stimuli. Objective To compare basic facial expression recognition skills during tasks with static and dynamic stimuli in older adults with and without major depression. Methods Older adults were selected through a screening process for psychiatric disorders at a primary care service. Psychiatric evaluations were performed using criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5). Twenty-three adults with a diagnosis of depression and 23 older adults without a psychiatric diagnosis were asked to perform two facial emotion recognition tasks using static and dynamic stimuli. Results Individuals with major depression demonstrated greater accuracy in recognizing sadness (p=0.023) and anger (p=0.024) during the task with static stimuli and less accuracy in recognizing happiness during the task with dynamic stimuli (p=0.020). The impairment was mainly related to the recognition of emotions of lower intensity. Conclusions The performance of older adults with depression in facial expression recognition tasks with static and dynamic stimuli differs from that of older adults without depression, with greater accuracy regarding negative emotions (sadness and anger) and lower accuracy regarding the recognition of happiness.

title: Children's hospitalizations by sensitive conditions in primary care in the Northeast of Brazil

description: Abstract Objectives: to analyze the temporal evolution of hospitalizations due to sensitive conditions in primary care among children under five years of age in the Brazilian Northeast region. Methods: ecological descriptive study with hospitalizations data from the Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (Hospital Information System from the Public Health System). The admissions rates on sensitive conditions in primary care between 2004 and 2013 were calculated in two age groups: children under one year old and between one and five years of age. Results: there was a reduction of hospitalization rates in the Northeast, despite the existence of fluctuations in the analyzed period. Bahia and Sergipe presented, respectively, the highest and lowest admission rates (465.14 and220.19 per 10 thousand inhabitants). It has been shown that children under one year old are more affected by sensitive diseases in primary care, presenting a total rate of 709.08 per 10 thousand inhabitants. The main causes of hospitalizations were related to the infectious gastroenteritis group and its complications with a rate of 218.76 per 10 thousand inhabitants. Conclusions: despite the decrease of hospitalizations due to sensitive conditions in primary care, the Northeast still presents high rates compared to other States, thus, evidencing the need to qualify the services offered through professionals' qualification and the inclusion of health actions for the real necessity in the community.

title: RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY APPLICATION IN THE CHARACTERIZATION OF PERTAINING MINERALS OF A GEOCOLLECTION

description: Lots of Educational Institutions hold their own geocollection due to its utility and versatileness in the practical formation of new generations of skillful professionals in many areas of Science and Technology. The Geoscience laboratory of the Federal University of São Carlos has a collection of minerals used in engineering, mineralogy and other technological courses ministered to undergraduates of different programs. Three samples of this collection were identified using Raman spectroscopy. The analysis carried out in this work enabled the characterization of the major mineral components in the samples as well as the identification of other minor crystalline phases present in the sample. It is important to notice that this information could not be obtained using the regular analyses of mineral properties, such as density, streak, hardness, brightness, cleavage, among others. As a result, the samples A170801 and A170802 were characterized as being mainly calcite (CaCO3) and spodumene (LiAlSi2O6), respectively. On the other hand, sample A170803 show the presence of three different minerals: graphite (C), quartz (SiO2) and muscovite [KAl2(Si3Al)O10(OH,F)2].

title: K-RANK: AN EVOLUTION OF Y-RANK FOR MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS PROBLEM

description: ABSTRACT Y-rank can present faults when dealing with non-linear problems. A methodology is proposed to improve the selection of data in situations where y-rank is fragile. The proposed alternative, called k-rank, consists of splitting the data set into clusters using the k-means algorithm, and then apply y-rank to the generated clusters. Models were calibrated and tested with subsets split by y-rank and k-rank. For the Heating Tank case study, in 59% of the simulations, models calibrated with k-rank subsets achieved better results. For the Propylene / Propane Separation Unit case, when dealing with a small number of sample points, the y-rank models had errors almost three times higher than the k-rank models for the test subset, meaning that the fitted model could not deal properly with new unseen data. The proposed methodology was successful in splitting the data, especially in cases with a limited amount of samples.

title: Optimized protocol to isolate high quality genomic DNA from different tissues of a palm species

description: ABSTRACT The application of molecular techniques to tackle ecological and evolutionary questions requires genomic DNA in good quality and quantity. The quality of the isolated DNA, however, can be influenced by the tissue type and the way the sample was conserved and manipulated. Therefore, customizing protocols to improve the DNA isolation and locus amplification is crucial. We optimized a cheap and manual protocol of DNA extraction and microsatellites amplification using five different tissues of a palm species of the brazilian Atlantic Forest. We successfully extracted DNA from all five tissue types. Leaf, stem, and endocarp of non-dispersed seeds presented the highest rates of successful DNA extraction and microsatellite amplification; whereas root, endocarp of dispersed seeds, and embryo showed the lowest quality and quantity. Based on these results, we discussed the implications of using different tissues for studies about seed dispersal, pollination, and population genetics.

title: Unravelling the foraging behavior of the southern stingray, Hypanus americanus (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae) in a Southwestern Atlantic MPA

description: ABSTRACT Previous study suggested that the southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) displays a marked ontogenetic shift in its habitat use in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (FNA), an attractive touristic spot in Brazil, that could be associated with changes in its feeding habits and foraging strategies. Here, we conducted underwater visual surveys (~100 h a 3 years’ study) at this site to describe the foraging behavior of the same species in details and to assess diel patterns in activity. We observed that H. americanus is capable of several complex and highly plastic behaviors (we described more than 21 of them) while foraging. The foraging events’ timing appears to be related to the size (as well as sex) of the stingrays, environment and depth. In addition, our results support a segregation of habitat mediated by the size and sex of the stingrays, but it is able to modulate its foraging repertoire based mainly on environmental stimulus. Finally, we found that H. americanus forage intermittently throughout the day and tidal cycle, yet are less active during non-crepuscular periods and at flood and ebb tides. These results, coupled with the fact that the species uses both reef and beach environments, should be considered by decision makers in management plans.
