title: Effect of phosphorus application on substrate and use of saline water in sugar-apple seedlings

description: ABSTRACT The irrigation with saline water affects the growth of sugar-apple plants. Some reports indicate that phosphorus affects the plants growth, with positive effects on the salts attenuation. This study aimed to assess the effects of the irrigation water electrical conductivity (iwEC) levels and triple superphosphate (TSP) doses in the growth and leaf levels of sugar-apple seedlings (Annona squamosa L.). The experiment was conducted in a protected environment, in an experimental design of randomized block, with nine treatments that combined phosphorus doses (0.00 g dm-1, 1.10 g dm-1, 3.00 g dm-1, 5.13 g dm-1 and 6.00 g dm-1 of TSP) with irrigation water electrical conductivity (0.50 dS m-1, 1.10 dS m-1, 2.50 dS m-1, 3.91 dS m-1 and 4.50 dS m-1), to evaluate the growth and leaf levels of Na+, K+, Ca+2 and P of sugar-apple seedlings. The increased curve for stem diameter presented by plants was proportional to the amount of TSP. Nevertheless, the iwEC levels were inversely proportional to this variable. The use of TSP directly affected the plant height (2.02 g dm-2/14.50 cm), dry mass (1.25 g dm-2/0.90 g) and total dry mass (2.32 g dm-2/2.00 g). The increase in the iwEC levels was directly proportional to the Na+ values (16.20 mg g-1), as well as to the Na+/K+ ratio (1.48 mg g-1), which cause metabolic disorders in the cellular environment. The TSP doses improve the seedlings growth, proving to be not phytotoxic; however, in combination with the iwEC, they reduce the amount of K+ in sugar-apple seedlings.

title: Periodontal parameters in prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and non-diabetic patients

description: Abstract The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical and radiographic periodontal parameters in prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and non-diabetic patients. Forty-one patients with prediabetes (Group 1), 43 patients with T2DM (Group 2), and 41 controls (Group 3) were included. Demographic data were recorded using a questionnaire. Full-mouth clinical (plaque index [PI], bleeding on probing [BOP], probing depth [PD], clinical attachment loss [CAL], missing teeth [MT]) and radiographic (marginal bone loss [MBL]) parameters were measured on digital radiographs. In all groups, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were also measured. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The mean age and HbA1c levels of participants in Groups 1, 2, and 3 were 53.4±3.5, 60.1 ± 0.6, and 56.6 ± 2.5 years and 6.1%, 8.4%, and 4.8%, respectively. The mean duration of prediabetes and T2DM in patients from Groups 1 and 2 were 1.9 ± 0.3 and 3.1 ± 0.5 years, respectively. PI, BOP, PD, MT, CAL, and MBL were significantly higher in Groups 1 (p &lt; 0.05) and 2 (p &lt; 0.05) than in Group 3. There was no statistically significant difference in these parameters in Groups 1 and 2. Periodontal parameters were worse between prediabetes and T2DM patients compared with controls; however, these parameters were comparable between prediabetes and T2DM patients.

title: Review of fungal chitosan: past, present and perspectives in Brazil

description: Abstract Fungal chitosan is a polymer that has been discussed and studied since 1859 in the world with great advances occurring over the years. Due to its global importance, this review aims to expose the history of the production and application of fungal chitosan in Brazil. Data collection was done at the Scielo, Sciencedirect and Pubmed databases, considering the period of the last 50 years. The inclusion criteria were articles on pure or associated chitosan and, in particular, fungal chitosan produced or applied by Brazilian research groups. At the end of the review, it was noticed a fungal chitosan very studied in different continents, and in Brazil is still used in specific and small groups. With the present work, it is expected that the diffusion of the studies will be accelerated and that potential research groups for fungal chitosan may grow through interaction with the existing ones.

title: Quantification of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes in the air of indoor environments

description: ABSTRACT Air pollution is not restricted to open air areas. High concentrations of petroleum-based air pollutants may occur, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX), in indoor environments. The BTEX, even in low concentrations, of the order of parts per billion (ppb), cause human health problems. The objective of this work was to apply a technique of measurement of BTEX, at ppb level, using only eight hours of sampling in an indoor environment. To this end, passive tube samplers were used associated with analysis by thermal desorption, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The calibration method applied to this analytical system was also presented. The use of this method allowed the quantification of BTEX in a combustion engines research laboratory, at concentrations of 4.64, 7.87, 10.47 and 21.36 ppb, respectively. These results are close to the range found by other indoor studies in Brazil. The evaluation of BTEX in the combustion laboratory, besides it only takes 16 hours, considering the sampling and the analysis procedures, confirmed the sensitivity of the methodology used.

title: Health in the post-2015 United Nations Development Agenda

description: This paper evaluates health as a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) in the context of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, between 2012 and 2014. Health was part of the debate since the Millennium Summit and the MDGs (2000), and it also appears in the documents discussing the Post-2015 Agenda, from the Rio+20 to the Open Working Group (OWG), whose report was submitted to the General Assembly of the United Nations (UNGA) 2014-2015, and in the Global Consultation on Health and the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons reports. The Authors concluded that the treatment of health in all these documents is uniform. They point out that the scope of the health-related SDG is very comprehensive, but its targets are conceptually fragmented and reduced. They advocate their change as to include not only the idea of social determinants of health, but also targets in the field of public health, which were not included in the proposal of the OWG. They also warn that the global and national governance systems need to be reformed and advocate more participation of the civil society, which can influence diplomacy, which, in turn, will be responsible for the agreement signed at the UNGA in 2015.

title: Ecological risk of Lagos São João River Basin, RJ, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Lagos São João River Basin, located in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, is known of great importance for the conservation of natural and water resources. However, despite constant efforts to conserve and restore the aquatic ecosystems, many are the threats and management challenges. The water resources management in river basins requires assertive decision-making processes to ensure the conservation of water quantity and quality and its multiple uses. Aiming to be more effective, these processes require an integrated analysis of a large number of variables, which together can lead to different management alternatives and scenarios, thereby facilitating decision-making. In this sense, analytical tools that can identify, quantify and spacialize the current threats to the ecological integrity of aquatic ecosystems become relevant. This article aimed to present the development and results of the diagnosis of Lagos São João River Basin, generated through a risk-based protocol to ecological integrity. As a result of the application of this methodology, it can be concluded that Lagos São João River Basin is in a situation of moderate to high ecological risk, being threaten by river engineering and degraded grassland, demanding urgent restoration actions, focusing on the most endangered hydrologic units.

title: Use of indicators in urban solid waste management: a methodological proposal of construction and analysis for cities and regions

description: ABSTRACT This research aims to present a model to evaluate the urban solid waste management through the use of indicators that may either be applied to municipalities or to larger regions for management comparison, when it comes to sustainability, performance, efficiency and efficacy. For the construction of the model, identified shortcomings were taken into account in the Brazilian context, in proposals raised by means of a bibliographical research in which indicators capable of being measured by means of primary and/or secondary data were selected, adapted or developed. It was noted that the model in question presents itself as an important tool for the municipal public administration, since it identifies the deficit sectors of waste management at decision making, as well as the financial resources for investment and improvement of the segment.

title: Adrenergic receptor β3 is involved in the memory consolidation process in mice

description: Attention and emotion have a positive impact on memory formation, which is related to the activation of the noradrenergic system in the brain. The hippocampus and amygdala are fundamental structures in memory acquisition, which is modulated by noradrenaline through the noradrenergic receptors. Pharmacological studies suggest that memory acquisition depends on the action of both the β3 (β3-AR) and β2 (β2-AR) receptor subtypes. However, the use of animal models with specific knockout for the β3-AR receptor only (β3-ARKO) allows researchers to more accurately assess its role in memory formation processes. In the present study, we evaluated short- and long-term memory acquisition capacity in β3-ARKO mice and wild-type mice at approximately 60 days of age. The animals were submitted to the open field test, the elevated plus maze, object recognition, and social preference. The results showed that the absence of the β3-AR receptor caused no impairment in locomotion and did not cause anxious behavior, but it caused significant impairment of short- and long-term memory compared to wild-type animals. We also evaluated the expression of genes involved in memory consolidation. The mRNA levels for GLUT3, a glucose transporter expressed in the central nervous system, were significantly reduced in the amygdala, but not in the hippocampus of the β3-ARKO animals. Our results showed that β3-AR was involved in the process of acquisition of declarative memory, and its action may be due to the facilitation of glucose absorption in the amygdala.
