title: Effects of mixed strains of rhizopus oryzae and lactobacillus on corn meal fermentation

description: Abstract As long as they are provided in appropriate proportions, probiotics can be beneficial to the host. These bacteria are increasingly used in food to balance intestinal microbiota and relieve gastrointestinal disorders. However after traveling through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, surviving probiotic bacteria comprise 10 to 30 % of this population. It is a probiotic bacterium found in many probiotic foods. As a result of its inability to hydrolyze proteins and macromolecule carbs, L. acidophilus grows poorly in cereal products. The goal of the present investigation was a synbiotic beverage made from corn mash and Rhizopus oryzae-fermented corn mash. Starting culture concentration is one such element. Milk powder and Corn mash that had been fermented with Rhizopus oryzae were both researched in depth. Fermented cornflour with R. oryzae had just enough nutrients to support L. acidophilus' survival, but not its development. The proliferation of Lactobacillus acidophilus was not improved by adding sugar (1 or 2 %, w/v). However, once milk powder (1 % or 2 %, w/v) was put in, L. acidophilus developed rapidly. After 10 hours of fermentation using 5.5 % Rhizopus oryzae -fermented corn mash and 2 % Cell counts for skim milk powder were about. 9.0 log CFU/mL. During fermentation, the content of -glucans (approximately 781 mg/L) did not change considerably.

title: COVID-19 in working-class neighborhoods of two Argentine cities

description: Abstract This paper presents a synchronic analysis of the diseases during the emergence of COVID-19, the management and impact of the lockdown, and how the media narrated these events in working-class neighborhoods of the metropolitan areas of Buenos Aires and Gran Resistencia from March to November 2020. We resorted to quantitative methods on secondary sources to describe poverty and syndemics and conducted week-by-week ethnographic and media research on 38 neighborhoods with water shortages and critical overcrowding. As a result, COVID-19 syndemically emerged with dengue, measles, and tuberculosis, and the preventive measures exacerbated institutional and gender violence, the Werther effect, and the neglect of other illnesses. Ethnography revealed syndemics with noncommunicable diseases and the influence of structural violence on health. The media analysis shows interest in the districts associated with the fear of contagion, but they disappear from the media agenda once dispelled.

title: Arterial hypertension in kidney transplantation: huge importance, but few answers

description: Abstract Arterial hypertension (AH) after renal transplantation (RTX) is correlated with worse cardiovascular and renal outcomes, with loss of renal function, decreased graft survival and higher mortality. RTX recipients have discrepant blood pressure (BP) values when measured in the office or by systematic methodologies, such as Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), with significant prevalence of no nocturnal dipping or nocturnal hypertension, white coat hypertension and masked hypertension. The aim of the present study was to review the issue of hypertension in RTX, addressing its multifactorial pathophysiology and demonstrating the importance of ABPM as a tool for monitoring BP in these patients. Treatment is based on lifestyle changes and antihypertensive drugs, with calcium channel blockers considered first-line treatment. The best blood pressure target and treatment with more favorable outcomes in RTX are yet to be determined, through well-conducted scientific studies, that is, in terms of AH in RTX, we currently have more questions to answer than answers to give.

title: Evaluation of food safety problems based on the fuzzy comprehensive analysis method

description: Abstract To preserve life and promote health, it is critical to have access to appropriate quantities of safe food. Foodborne illness is an infectious illness or poisoning caused by viruses, bacteria, or chemicals that contaminate food or water. Food safety and health are the responsibility of everyone, from the agricultural chain to the consumer who comes into touch with food, in order to limit the amount of food poisonings. Nutritionists feel that the home, or the location where the consumer prepares food, is one of the least supervised steps all the way from the farm to the table. Dr. Lotfi Zadeh invented fuzzy logic as a superset of classical logic. This article covers the mathematical foundations of fuzzy logic, as well as membership functions, fuzzy sets, and reasoning rules. Input numbers are converted into linguistic values by fuzzy expert systems, which are subsequently modified by if-then rules provided by a human expert. The notion of a fuzzy expert system is explored in-depth, along with its rule-base and set membership functions.

title: The Performance Leite Derramado: challenging the controlling images

description: ABSTRACT The article proposes to analyze the performance Leite Derramado (2013) by artist Ana Musidora from the perspective of the representation of the Black mother. In this regard, we investigate the concept of controlling images by American sociologist Patricia Hill Collins and the images invoked to define black women in Brazil, by Anthropologist Lélia Gonzalez. We reflect on how Leite Derramado explores critical layers on the images/historical representations sorted according to patriarchal and slavocratic values on Black women.

title: A review on fermented aquatic food storage quality based on heat treatment and water retention technology

description: Abstract Fermentation is a popular food preservation process that improves nutritional and organoleptic qualities, shelf life, and food safety. Fermented fish is produced and consumed in many regions of the world, and it is an integral element of many cuisine traditions. Fermented fish is also a substantial industry in several countries and a rich source of intriguing bacteria. Most of the end product quality of wine and meat, including taste, texture, and nutritional content, is determined by the main and secondary microbial metabolism formed during fermentation. A standard procedure in the food industry is the addition of salt to thermally processed meat and fish products in order to avoid weight loss that may otherwise have occurred due to the decreased water retaining capability caused by heat treatment. This article aims to bring you up-to-date on the different varieties of fermented fish and their production processes around the world. As a result, new methods that focus on limiting or accelerating fish products' heating are essential. Alternative heat transfer technology, such as combi-steamers or water baths, is used in both situations to increase heat transfer, allowing for faster heating and minimizing excessively heavy heat loads on parts of the product.

title: Geographical origin of green tea identification using LASSO and ANOVA

description: Abstract To standardize the tea export market and guarantee the interest of consumers, the adulteration problem in Taiping Houkui tea should be eliminated. In this study, a screening scheme comprising chemometrics and statistical analysis was proposed to estimate the geographical origin of Taiping Houkui tea. A total of 11 metal ions in Taiping Houkui tea were detected by performing a chemometric experiment. The key variables that can be used to identify the geographical origin of Taiping Houkui tea were screened using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method (LASSO). The statistical significance of selected key variables was also tested by analysis of variance (ANOVA), which confirmed the effectiveness of the LASSO. The proposed strategy was verified by the experimental testing and has great potential for determining the geographical origin of green tea.

title: Profile of brazilian research productivity grant holders with a background in pediatric dentistry

description: Abstract This study outlines the profile of research productivity grant holders of the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico [CNPq (National Council for Scientific and Technological Development)] in the field of pediatric dentistry. A cross-sectional study with data collected from the Brazilian academic curriculum vitae database. The eligibility criterion was being a research productivity grant holder in pediatric dentistry from 2018 to 2020. In the period of interest, 215 individuals were research productivity grant holders in the field of dentistry, 33 of whom had graduate degrees (specialization, master's or doctorate) in pediatric dentistry. The period of scientific production and work concluded of advising of scientific initiation, master, doctoral and post-doctoral degrees was 2010 to 2020. Descriptive analysis was performed and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze associations (5% significance level) between productivity grant level (2, 1D, 1C, 1B or 1A) and year of obtainment of the doctoral degree. The VOSviewer (version 1.6.17) was used to present graphically the interinstitutional collaborations. The sample was composed of Level 2 researchers (66.7%), women (66.7%), researchers linked to institutions in the southeastern region of Brazil (81.8%), with a doctoral degree concluded prior to 2002 (51.5%), began working as a professor at a higher education institution prior to 2007 (78.8%) and the title of full professor (45.5%). No significant association was found between productivity grant level and year of conclusion of the doctoral degree (p = 0.10). Median (interquartile range) of scientific articles was 119 (37-312). The prevalence of citations (57.52%) and JCR articles (62.76%) was higher among female researchers. In conclusion, CNPq research productivity grant holders in pediatric dentistry are essentially represented by females from the southeast region of the country (UFMG and USP). However, males have proportionally greater productivity.

title: Malaria in indigenous and non-indigenous patients aged under 15 years between 2007-2018, Amazonas state, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Background: Malaria is a serious problem in children because the immune system is less developed, thus, causing more severe symptoms. This study aimed to identify factors associated with malaria in indigenous and non-indigenous patients aged under 15 years in Amazonas, Brazil, from 2007 to 2018. Methods: An epidemiological, quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted. Cases included patients aged under 15 years, using data from health system notifications between 2007 and 2018 in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The variables included clinical-epidemiological, laboratory findings, and monitoring of cases. The outcome was ethnicity: indigenous, non-indigenous, and entries for which no ethnicity data were provided. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to compare the indigenous and non-indigenous populations. Results: Among malaria cases in patients aged under 15 years, there was a greater chance of being indigenous and having the following associated factors: female sex, children aged 0-4 years, passive case surveillance, a high load of parasitemia and the lack of data regarding the level of parasitemia, Plasmodium falciparum infections were more frequent, and timeliness of treatment, i.e., the interval between the onset of symptoms and time of treatment was within 48 hours. Conclusions: The factors associated with malaria are more frequent in indigenous populations and highlight differences according to ethnicity, suggesting that the severity of the disease is attributable to the increased number of malarial infections within this population. As a result, malaria has a greater impact on the health of indigenous people.
