title: The effect of Allium sativum in experimental peritoneal adhesion model in rats

description: Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effect of garlic on formation of postoperative adhesions in rats. Methods: Twenty-four Sprague dawley rats were divided into three groups. In Group 1 (sham), laparotomy was performed and stitched up. In Group 2 (control), after laparotomy was performed, punctate hemorrhage was induced by cecal abrasion in the cecum and 2 cc of saline was intraperitoneally administered to each rat. In Group 3 (experimental), after laparotomy was performed, punctate hemorrhage was induced by cecal abrasion in the cecum and each rat was intraperitoneally administered a sterile Allium sativum derivative. The rats in all groups were re-laparotomized on postoperative day 7; samples were obtained from the peritoneal tissue surrounding the cecum Results: In Group 3, there was a statistically significant difference in terms of inflammation, lymph node size, and free oxygen radicals; these parameters tended to increase. In terms of fibrosis evaluated using H&E and MT, there was no significant difference between groups 2 and 3. Conclusions: No positive outcomes indicating that Allium sativum reduces intra-abdominal adhesions were obtained. However, it caused severe inflammation in the tissue. Additionally, in immunohistochemical analyses conducted to detect oxidative stress, allium sativum increased the production of free oxygen radicals in the tissue.

title: Agronomic yield and quality of industrial tomatoes under NPK doses

description: ABSTRACT High doses of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in irrigated systems may lead to an increase in the productivity of industrial tomatoes, but may also alter the final quality of the fruits. The objective of this was to evaluate the agronomic yield and post-harvest quality of industrial tomatoes, under NPK doses for climatic conditions of Northern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The study was conducted in the city of Jaíba, MG, Brazil, in randomized block design with four repetitions in a 3 x 3 factorial scheme, consisting of three doses of N (90, 135 and 180 kg ha-1), of P (270, 405 and 540 kg ha-1) and of K (225, 337 and 450 kg ha-1), corresponding to 50, 75 and 100% of the fertilization recommendation; and three tomato hybrids: BRS Sena, Heinz 9553 and BHN 0574. The following variables were evaluated: number of bunches, number and weight of fruits, productivity and fertilizer efficiency index; besides the physico-chemical characteristics: firmness, soluble solids concentration, pH and pulp industrial yield. The hybrid Heinz 9553 showed higher weight, number of fruits, productivity and industrial yield at doses of 75 and 100% of NPK recommendation. The fertilizer doses did not interfere on the soluble solids, pH and fruit firmness of the three hybrids. The hybrid BRS Sena was not influenced by the increase of NPK and there was lower weight, number of fruits, productivity and fertilization efficiency. The hybrid BHN and Heinz hybrids can be indicated for cultivation at doses of 100 and 75% of NPK recommendation, because they promote higher agronomic yield and do not alter the post-harvest quality of the tomatoes.

title: Functional capacity and quality of life of hospitalized octogenarians

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) and to correlate functional capacity with quality of life (QoL) of hospitalized octogenarians. Method: A cross-sectional study with 128 patients using the quality of life instruments WHOQOL-OLD and WHOQOL-BREF and the Katz Scale. Results: The majority of patients was fully dependent; patients with higher schooling had less independence; older adults with partial dependence and independence had higher scores in perceived QoL; in the domains of autonomy, past, present and future activities; and better overall QoL than those with full dependence. Partially dependent patients had higher scores in the death and dying domain than independent patients. Conclusion: Older adults’ QoL is associated with the maintenance of autonomy and functional capacity. Older adults experience a health decline during the hospitalization process, due to the limitation in performing their ADL and lack of encouragement by the health team.

title: Optimization of extraction process for efficient imino acids recovery and purification from low-value sea cucumber

description: Abstract For high recoveries and purities of L-proline (L-Pro) and L-hydroxyproline (L-Hyp) from the low-value sea cucumber Acaudina leucoprocta, the extraction process was systematically investigated and optimized. The results indicated that, in decoloration of A. leucoprocta hydrolysate, activated carbon powdered W660 was more suitable due to the low addition amount and short treatment time compared with macroporous resin HZ816 offering comparable decoloration ratio and imino acids recovery yields. For oxidative deamination, HCl-HNO3 exhibited better performance than NaNO2 with complete primary amino acids broken-down and fewer imino acids loss. After decoloration and oxidative deamination under their optimized conditions, an extraction solution was obtained with L-Pro and L-Hyp recovery yields of 76.3% and 78.8% from A. leucoprocta hydrolysate, which was directly used for separation of L-Pro and L-Hyp with ion-exchange chromatograph. This work may be referenced for the large-scale L-Pro and L-Hyp production from other low-value materials.

title: LIQUID DIFFUSION DURING DRYING OF SORGHUM GRAINS UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS

description: ABSTRACT Drying is the most widely used process to ensure the quality and stability of plant products. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effective water diffusivity and activation energy in grain sorghum during drying at different temperatures and initial moisture contents. Sorghum grains (cultivar DeKalb 640) were harvested with an initial moisture content of 0.49 kg water kg−1 dry matter. The effective diffusion coefficient was determined from different initial moisture contents of approximately 0.49, 0.40, 0.31, and 0.23 kg water kg−1 dry matter. Grains with different moisture contents were dried under four temperature conditions of 40, 60, 80, and 100 °C on perforated trays. The spherical geometry model was used for liquid diffusion. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in a 4 × 4 factorial scheme (four moisture contents × four temperatures), with three replications. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and regression using the statistical software SISVAR®. Sorghum grain diffusivity increases at the same drying temperature as an increase of the initial moisture content of grains. The activation energy was higher for grains with higher initial moisture content, with values of 27.32, 26.75, 22.55, and 20.94 kJ mol−1, respectively.

title: Functional capacity assessment of long-lived older adults from Amazonas

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the functional capacity of long-lived older adults from Amazonas. Method: A cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out with 116 older adults aged 80 years or older, registered in a primary health care unit in Belém, in the state of Pará, Brazil. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was used for functional capacity assessment and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive screening. Univariate and bivariate analyses were carried out, in addition to the Pearson’s chi-square test. Results: The older adults presented modified independence in the self-care, sphincter control and locomotion dimensions, and needed supervision for mobility/transfers. In mobility, men presented complete independence. Modified independence was found in the 80-89 age group. It was observed that, the lower the education level, the worse the cognitive performance. Conclusion: In spite of their advanced age, long-lived older adults still present functional capacity for activities of daily living, even though they required supervision for high energy expenditure tasks, such as mobility and transfers.

title: Deliberative citizenship and social management: a systematic literature review in Brazil

description: Abstract This systematic literature review about deliberative citizenship aims to synthesize, in social management studies in Brazil, the application of the concept as portrayed by Habermas. The Periódicos Capes and Academic Google databases were searched using the descriptors “deliberative citizenship” and “social management.” Most of the articles were published in journals classified in the stratum Qualis Capes A2, and in Cadernos EBAPE.BR. The analysis of the methodological strategies employed reveals qualitative options, with seven papers characterized as theoretical essays and eleven papers as theoretical-empirical, by the application of the concept of deliberative citizenship in territories and councils. The theoretical-empirical results focus on challenges and opportunities and indicate that the process of Habermasian deliberative citizenship can constitute a social management strategy. The theoretical texts indicate that the construct deliberative citizenship provides elements related to the construction of the domain of social management.

title: ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYING EFFECT ON SPRAY DEPOSITION AND POWDERY MILDEW CONTROL IN SOYBEAN

description: ABSTRACT Electrostatic spray can bring benefits to the pesticide application such as the reduction of application rate and the increase of deposits on targets. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of electrostatic spraying using lower application rates and different adjuvants on soybean spray deposition and chemical control of powdery mildew (Microsphaera diffusa Cooke & Peck). The field experiment was conducted in duplicate. A randomized complete block design with four replications in a 2 × 2 × 2 + 1 factorial scheme was used. The factors were two application rates, with and without droplet electrification, two spray solution compositions, and one additional treatment. Deposition on upper and lower leaves, spray loss to the soil, and powdery mildew control effectiveness were evaluated. The electrical conductivity of the spray solution and the charge/mass ratio induced in droplets were also evaluated. All treatments reduced the soybean powdery mildew severity. Electrostatic spraying responded positively to an increase in the electrical conductivity of the spray solution regarding the charge/mass ratio, but it did not increase spray deposition on the lower third of the canopy and did not influence spray loss to the soil, which was higher as the application rate increased.

title: The interpretation of results: an element of meaning for statistical inference

description: ABSTRACT In a hypothesis test and analysis of variance open-ended problem, we analyzed the answers given by (N = 224) psychology students from the University of Huelva, Spain in relation to the meaning reached by the students in the interpretation for both results. After solving the problems, they were asked to interpret the results in terms of the problem. We use the onto-semiotic approach to mathematical cognition as a theoretical framework. As part of this framework, we consider the mathematical objects, the processes involved and the results, with the aim of discovering semiotic conflicts that lead to institutionally inadequate responses. We present a detailed classification of the semiotic conflicts that emerge from the analysis of these tasks carried out by the students.

title: Environmental adequacy as facilitator attribute to built environment resilience in social housing

description: Abstract This article derives from a master's research whose objective was to analyze the resilience in the built environment of social housing produced by the Minha Casa, Minha Vida Program, with focus on two of its attributes: climate adequacy and environmental adequacy. For that, methodological procedures of Post-Occupancy Evaluation were developed to observe these attributes in social housing located in the case study entitled Residential Sucesso Brasil (Uberlândia, MG). This article focuses on the description of the results that characterize the environmental inadequacy of the case study. Characteristics inherent to the project were identified, among other efects, which lead to the waste of construction materials, high expenses with electric energy, depredation of recreational areas and areas of permanente protection. The main contribution of the work is the identification of design solutions that should be encouraged in the HIS project in order to amplify their environmental suitability. In addition, the results of the research developed support the achievement of more resilient social housing, thus aligning with the objectives of urban agendas of international relevance, which place resilience as an engine in the fight against the vulnerability of large cities.

title: Gluten-free cheese bread from frozen dough: effect of modified cassava starch

description: Abstract The freezing process in dough is widely used to improve fresh product availability for the consumer. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of different modified cassava starches on the quality and textural properties of gluten-free (GF) cheese bread made from frozen GF cheese dough. Three sour cassava starches (extra, express and yucauca) and two chemically modified starches (Expandex® (MCS) and Gel®Baking (OCS)) were used. Samples with sour cassava starches showed higher hardness and number of crumb pores than those with chemically modified starches. Furthermore, a better overall appearance was observed for samples with OCS. Hence, triangle test was carried out between samples with OCS and samples made from fresh dough (control). The consumer panelists identified differences between samples because the GF cheese breads with OCS showed higher compaction and hardness, and they were less salty in taste than the control samples.
