title: geomorphological and morphometric characterization for finding tectonic activity

description: Abstract The present study refers to the geomorphological, morphostructural and morphometry characterization the onshore region of Jacumã chart (SB-25-Y-C-III-3-NE), located in the state of Paraíba, Northeast of Brazil. The use of GIS techniques for morphostructural evaluation, besides aiming to reinforce the hypothesis raised by previous studies, is considered relevant because the products generated are notables to concisely highlight the morphology of the relief, where the morphostructural influence in its configuration and arrangement is conspicuous. The techniques used in this study consisted of the elaboration and analysis of the hypsometric and declivity charts; as well as the analysis of the roughness and disposition of the relief, and the analysis of topographic profiles, morphometric calculations and 3D model generated in this study. For producing the above products were utilized manual vectorization in screen of Jacumã topographic chart with scale of 1:25,000 and equidistance between the level curves of 10 m, and Spring 5.1.7 free software. The results obtained from the analysis of the products showed that the configuration of the relief and hydrography of the whole area is linked to a morphostructural influence, incompatible with an evolution based solely on climatic aspects.

title: Nonconformities in the pre-analytical phase identified in a public health laboratory

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: The nonconformities detected in the pre-analytical phase of laboratory tests sent to the Central Public Health Laboratories (Lacen) culminate in the loss of epidemiological data of great importance for public health and are detrimental to health surveillance. This study aimed to identify the most frequent pre-analytical nonconformities recorded by Lacen/PR and the major difficulties encountered by the primary and regional health units in the registration of exams in the Laboratory Environment Manager (GAL) system. Results: The analysis of data from the Paraná GAL system in 2017 identified 9,723 discards for disagreeing samples in a total of 132,567 tests performed in the same period. The most frequent nonconformities were: request canceled by the GAL management due to expiration of the screening period (28%), and sample unsuitable for the requested analysis (28%). Discussion: After identifying the vulnerabilities of this stage of the process, the greatest detected difficulty was requesting the correct test. Conclusion: Data indicate the need to strengthen training and improve the pre-analytical process in order to ensure patient safety and epidemiological data.

title: Thermal Analysis on the Milled Al+B2O3+Si+WO3 System to Synthesize Al2O3-WxSiy-WxBy Powders

description: Composites including silicide of tungsten and boride of tungsten intermetallic compound as reinforced agents in alumina matrix have a good mechanical properties in low and high temperature (high friction resistance, strength, resin stance to creep and relatively high thermal shock resistance), moreover, they have chemical neutral with a high corrosion resistance in a high corrosive and high temperature environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate thermal analysis, phase and microstructural evaluation during synthesis of above mentioned composite by combustion aluminothermic processing in three systems 1-Al+Si+WO3, 2-Al+B2O3+WO3 and 3-Al+B2O3+Si+WO3. A Ball-milled starting material according to stoichiometric ratio was thermal analyzed (DTA-TGA) for each of above mentioned system. The XRD results never show any new phase during ball-milling even up to 10 hours. The forming of tungsten silicide (WxSiy) is in lower temperature in comparison with tungsten boride (WxBy) during the thermal analysis experiments. The presence of Si in the Al+B2O3+WO3 system facilitates the formation of tungsten borides. The microstructural observations show a uniform and dense distribution of silicide and boride of tungsten in the alumina matrix. Silicide phases are small grain with spherical morphology whereas; the boride phases are coarser and relatively elongated with irregular morphology.

title: Evaluation and decision making in a university library from performance indicators

description: Abstract The purpose of using performance indicators in Brazilian university libraries is to provide information for decision making and to promote quality in the educational system. We analyzed the performance indicators used in 95 university libraries. Among them, the relevance of the indicators and their use in the decision-making process was assessed. The performance evaluation models were the performance indicators for the evaluation of university libraries based on “International Organization for Standardization 11.620/2008 Information and documentation – Library performance indicators”. It was evidenced that indicators are relevant for decision making. However, there is a discrepancy between their use and relevance. The set of indicators applied to university libraries is usually the same as those proposed by the Ministry of Education. An adequate management of the performance indicators and the application in the decision-making process promote the quality of the offered products and, therefore, the quality of the education of the higher education institutions.

title: Quality evaluation of kashar cheese: influence of palm oil and ripening period

description: Abstract Vegetable oils are used as milk fat replacers in cheese production to alter sensory, nutritional profile, and to produce cholesterol free or low-cost cheeses. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of palm oil usage on kashar cheese’s physicochemical, textural and sensorial quality characteristics during ripening. The results showed that replacement of milk fat with palm oil was not statistically significant in terms of moisture, salt, fat content, and titratable acidity. β-sitosterol content, which is a marker of vegetable oil addition in cheese, was found in the detectable range by chromatographic analysis for the palm oil added samples (PO). Hardness, chewiness, and gumminess values were significantly affected by the palm oil replacement and also during the ripening period of 90 days. Changes in L* values were apparent during ripening and the brightness of the PO groups was lower than that of the control group. Higher sensorial scores for PO indicated that palm oil usage may not be noticeable by the consumers. The overall results provide essential information, demonstrating that cost-saving palm oil can be successfully used in kashar cheese production where the milk fat replacement did not alter the physicochemical, textural and sensorial quality characteristics.

title: Supplementary Material for: Meta-Analysis of Prognostic Factors for Recurrence of Resected Well-Differentiated Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (WDPNETs) are a group of rare and heterogeneous tumors. However, the prognostic factors for recurrence after curative resection still remain controversial. We aim to illustrate the prognostic factors for recurrence of resected WDPNETs. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> All relevant articles published through June 2020 were identified via PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. Articles that examined the prognostic factors of WDPNETs were enrolled. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Ten articles were finally included in this study. From 1993 to 2018, 2,863 patients underwent curative resection and 358 patients had recurrence, and the combined recurrence rate was 13%. Furthermore, the pooled data indicated that patients with G2, positive lymph node and surgical resection margin, vascular invasion, and perineural invasion had a decreased disease-free survival for WDPNETs. However, gender, function, and tumor size had no significant relationship with WDPNETs recurrence. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> These findings demonstrated that G2, positive lymph node and surgical resection margin, vascular invasion, and perineural invasion could be prognostic factors for recurrence of resected WDPNETs, indicating that patients with these high-risk factors need closer postoperative follow-up and may benefit from adjuvant therapy.

title: Germination of Echium plantagineum L. seeds submitted to dormancy overcoming and variations in temperature, light and depth of sowing

description: Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate methods of overcoming dormancy, light regimens, temperature and depth of sowing variations in the physiological quality of Echium plantagineum seeds. The diaspores (agglutinated fruits from the seeds) were submitted to treatments using accelerated aging, potassium nitrate and gibberellic acid to overcome dormancy. A 7 x 2 factorial design was used to evaluate the temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 °C) and light regimens (presence or absence of light). A 6 x 2 factorial design was used for sowing depth (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 cm) and soil coverage (presence or absence of straw). In all experiments, a completely randomized design with four replicates of 50 diaspores was used. The main evaluations were germination, first germination count, germination speed index and emergence. The seeds showed dormancy, which was overcome by the immersion of the diaspores in potassium nitrate and gibberellic acid. The ideal temperature for germination was 20 °C, showing greater germination in the presence of light, considered as preferentially positively photoblastic. The highest germination percentage occurred when the diaspores were positioned on the soil surface in the presence of straw.

title: STRUCTURAL AND SPATIAL CHANGES IN AGRICULTURE

description: Abstract From a region where until the end of XIX century the cattle was the only profitable production, the South of the State of Goiás became one of the cores of Brazilian agribusiness. Besides the cattle, the region also stands out in the production of soybean, corn, sugarcane, and poultry. This change involved different process of regional and urban organization. Using the South of Goiás case, this paper aims to comprehend how structural and spatial changes were combined in the transformation of a late region in a dynamic agricultural region. To study this process, the structural changes of this region were divided into four phases. The spatial changes were thought according to four possibilities based on fragmentation and integration forces. The idea is to combine both structural and spatial changes to define the historical trajectory of urban and regional growth in the South of Goiás.
