title: Brazilian Flora 2020: Innovation and collaboration to meet Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC)

description: Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) was established by the Conference of Parties in 2002 to decrease the loss of plant diversity, reduce poverty and contribute to sustainable development. To achieve this overarching goal, the GSPC has established a series of targets, one of which is to ensure that plant diversity is well understood, so that it can be effectively conserved and used in a sustainable manner. Brazil hosts more than 46,000 species of plants, algae and fungi, representing one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth, and playing a key role in the GSPC. To meet the GSPC goals of Target 1 and facilitate access to plant diversity, Brazil committed to preparing the List of Species of the Brazilian Flora (2008-2015) and the Brazilian Flora 2020 (2016-present). Managing all the information associated with such great biodiversity has proven to be an extremely challenging task. Here, we synthesize the history of these projects, focusing on the multidisciplinary and collaborative approach adopted to develop and manage the inclusion of all the knowledge generated though digital information systems. We further describe the methods used, challenges faced, and strategies adopted, as well as summarize advances to date and prospects for completing the Brazilian flora in 2020.

title: Study of the influence of Carbonyl iron particulate size as an electromagnetic radiation absorbing material in 12.4 to 18 GHz (Ku) Band

description: Abstract This paper presents the influence of different sizes of carbonyl iron particles on the reflectivity measurements of Radar Absorbing Material (RAM). The electromagnetic characterization was performed with a vector network analyzer and a rectangular waveguide in the frequency range of 12.4 to 18GHz (Ku Band). The influence of different parameters such as thicknesses, particle sizes and concentration of carbonyl iron were evaluated. Reflectivity results showed the influence of these parameters on the performance of the RAM. The best reflectivity values (~ −18 dB) were obtained for samples with 60 wt% concentration and 5 mm thickness. We provide information about significantly reflection loss improvement by simply controlling carbonyl iron particulate size.

title: Fortifying pork liver mixture: preparation and physicochemical characteristics - Part 1

description: Abstract Micronutrient deficiency is a worldwide health problem, especially in developing countries. A survey conducted over the last decade has shown that approximately half of all Brazilian preschoolers have iron-deficiency anemia, representing a severe public health problem. Therefore, the aim of this research was to evaluate the physicochemical and microbiological attributes and especially the iron level of a fortifying mixture (FM) containing pork liver prepared in powder form. Centesimal composition, fatty acids, minerals and microbiological evaluation were determined. The results obtained showed that this is a product of good microbiological quality with a high protein (47.34%) and lipid (28.29%) content. Monounsaturated fatty acids represented 8.13% of the total fatty acids, the main one being oleic acid (C 18:1 ω9) at 7.57%, corresponding to 93.22% of the total monounsaturated fatty acids. Regarding mineral content (5.18%), the FM proved to be an important source of iron (23.8 mg/100 g), also containing expressive amounts of other minerals, zinc in particular (9.97 mg/100 g). The results showed that FM has characteristics that make it an excellent fortifying food to be used in school meals mainly in soups, creams, cooked meats and especially in beans, a preparation that is already part of the Brazilian food habits since childhood.

title: Further evidence for the existence of broiler chicken PFN (pale, firm, non-exudative) and PSE (pale, soft, exudative) meat in brazilian commercial flocks

description: Abstract This work aims to investigate the incidence of two color abnormalities in broiler meat: PFN (Pale, Firm, Non-exudative) and PSE (Pale, Soft, Exudative), as well as the physicochemical alterations promoted by those anomalies. The samples of broiler breast meat (n = 700) were classified as Normal (445.8), PSE (L*≥53, pH&lt;5.8) and PFN (L*≥53; pH&gt;5.8). The occurrence of Normal, PSE and PFN samples was 69%, 11% and 20%, respectively. PFN samples presented a 4.2% higher water-holding capacity compared to PSE meat. PSE meats displayed a higher MFI (89.4) when compared to PFN and Normal meats. It was also noticed that the levels of lipid oxidation were greater in PSE breasts compared to Normal breasts. The total carbonyl in PFN, Normal and PSE meats was 8.2, 7.4 and 5.7 nmol/mg proteins, respectively. These results confirm the existence of a PFN anomaly in broiler breast meat, which presents functional properties similar to the Normal group. In addition to that, the less firm texture displayed by PSE meats is the result of a greater proteolytic activity, which seems to be related not only to the activation of the calpains, due to the excessive Ca 2+, but also to the lower level of protein oxidation.

title: Stability of bioactive compounds in minimally processed beet according to the cooking methods

description: Abstract The current study aimed to determine the functional propriety of fresh beets under different cooking methods through the quantification of bioactives compounds. Beets were chosen for uniformity of size, color and absence of defects. They were thoroughly washed in running water to remove dirt, manually peeled with a knife, sliced through a stainless-steel food processor (5 mm slicing disc) and submitted to four different cooking methods: steaming, pressure, oven-baked and hot-water immersion. Analysis were performed in both uncooked and cooked beets to evaluate antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, carotenoids, flavonoids and betalains. The experiment was completely randomized design (CRD). Data were subjected to analysis of variance (F test) and means were compared by Tukey test (p &lt; 0.05). Oven-baked beets preserve most of the bioactive coumpouds, maintaining better levels of carotenoids, flavonoids, betacyanin and betaxanthin than the other cooking methods. The antioxidant activity was similar between the treatments, except in the pressure. Moreover, different cooking methods did not affect phenolic compounds concentration in beets.

title: Care-educational technologies: an emerging concept of the praxis of nurses in a hospital context

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to know the praxis of nurses in the hospital context and, from this, to define a concept about Care-Educational Technologies. Method: qualitative, exploratory-descriptive research, developed in a university hospital in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, with 21 nurses (non-probabilistic sampling), through non-participant observation and semi-structured interview, conducted from March to December 2015. Records were analyzed through content analysis. Results: the results showed that in the context of nurses' work, it is possible to deduce care-educational possibilities, based on the person-person, person-tool and/or person-universe relationship. The concept was defined based on the intertwining of caring-training and training-caring for oneself and other people. Final considerations: the reflections point to the need to develop or strengthen the autonomy of those involved in the health-disease process. This is based on the empowerment of people under their lives' conditions, in their multidimensionality, within human praxis.

title: Nutrient digestibility and changes in feeding behavior of cattle fed cottonseed and vitamin E

description: ABSTRACT: High lipid concentration in ruminant diets often harms nutrient digestibility and feed intake; thus, a protected lipid and antioxidant source can be considered as an alternative for improving diet energy without putting animal production at a disadvantage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dry matter intake (DMI), nutrient digestibility and feeding behavior of cattle fed cottonseed and vitamin E. Six cannulated cows, non-pregnant, non-lactating were distributed in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin Square design. Feed was offered ad libitum twice daily. Treatments were: 1) Control, 2) CS: 30 % cottonseed included; and 3) CSVitE: 30 % cottonseed plus 500 IU VitE included. Data were analyzed by SAS (Statistical Analysis System, v.9.3) and the significance was declared at p &lt; 0.05. Diets with cottonseed had 22 % greater digestibility of ether extract and 9 % lower digestibility of non-fiber-carbohydrates compared to the control. Treatments with cottonseed had 13 % higher time eating, 48 % more ruminating, 34 % more chewing and 17 % lower time idling compared to the control. Molar proportion of propionate was 36 % higher and the butyrate and acetate:propionate ratio were 27 % and 30 % lower, respectively, for the cottonseed treatments compared to the control. Including cottonseed up to 30 % can be used to increase diet energy density leading to improvements in feeding behavior and ruminal parameters. The inclusion of Vitamin E did not result in benefits to cattle when it was combined with cottonseed. Further studies should be undertaken to evaluate vitamin E levels in association with different amounts and lipid sources.

title: The relationship between eating attitudes and distress tolerance in obsessive compulsive disorder

description: Abstract Objective: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the eating attitudes of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) patients, while the secondary purpose is to examine the relationship between eating attitudes and distress tolerance. Methods: The study included 60 OCD patients and 60 healthy individuals as a control group. The data of the study were collected using the Padua Inventory (PE), Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: In comparison to the control group, the EAT-26 (p = 0.001) and BDI (p = 0.001) scores of the patient group were significantly higher, while the DTS total score (p = 0.001) was significantly low. The patients were divided into two groups based on the EAT-26 cutoff score. In the group with EAT-26 ≥ 30; the total PI score (p = 0.035), rumination (p = 0.010), impulses (p = 0.001) and sub-scale scores and BDI scores (p = 0.038) were significantly higher, while the DTS total score (p = 0.005), tolerance (p = 0.000), regulation (p = 0.013) and self-efficacy (p = 0.009) sub-scale scores were significantly lower. Discussion: Our study found that the eating habits of the OCD patients were more irregular than those of the healthy individuals. Further, the distress tolerance of the patients with irregular eating attitudes was significantly lower.
