title: THE INVENTORY OF THE SHOEMAKER DAMIÃO SIMÕES: A PHYSICO-CHEMICAL STUDY OF THE MOST ANCIENT DOCUMENT OF SÃO PAULO STATE

description: The oldest manuscript from the Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo dating back to the XVI century, which was laminated some decades ago, was analyzed by Raman and FTIR spectroscopies. A book from the XVIII century and Japanese papers were also investigated for comparison purpose. Raman microscopy is a well-known technique, which offers a non-destructive approach to informing the preservation state of paper and textile heritage. The manuscript and book were both characterized as cotton rag paper and their degradation state were evaluated from the spectroscopic features. The use of certain Raman signatures as ageing markers was discussed and questioned when different types of cellulose or even processing are compared.

title: Stephanofilariasis in beef cattle - case report

description: ABSTRACT Stephanofilariasis is an ulcerative dermatitis caused by nematodes that affect cattle in several countries in the world. However, it has not been described in beef cattle in Brazil. The objective of this study is to describe three cases of stephanofilariasis, which occurred in beef cows in the municipality of Ipê, RS, Brazil. The disease was characterized by pruritic, ulcerated and crusty seasonal lesions present in the cranial region of the udder. The diagnosis was confirmed by analyses of secretions stained smears and by direct optical microscopic examination of the sediment and the treatment was effectively carried out with topical trichlorphon. This report indicates that stephanofilariasis should be included as a differential diagnosis for dermatopathies in beef cattle in Brazil.

title: Stabilized mortar with air incorporator agent and plasticizer set retarder: performance measurement

description: Abstract This study aims to develop three stabilized mortars to masonry using air entraining agents and settling retardant plasticizer to compare with a conventional mortar with lime. It was analyzed consistency index, specific gravity, air entrained content, water retentivity, setting time through the heat of hydration, mortar shrinkage/expansion, compressive strength, resistance to sulphate and tensile strength in bonding. The results exhibited that the presence of the settling retardant plasticizer affected the consistency index making the mortar more workable for a longer time. The presence of additives made the stabilized mortars lighter with lower mass density and higher incorporated air content. The presence of lime provided high water retentivity in the conventional mortar while the setting retardant plasticizer improved the water retentivity in the stabilized mortars. The initial setting time of the stabilized mortars occurred after approximately 50 hours. Conventional mortar lost its workability quickly after 2 hours. In conventional mortar, shrinkage occurred, while stabilized mortars had expansion. The conventional mortar exhibited better compressive strength, while the excess of additives can affected negatively this property in the stabilized mortars. Conventional mortar proved to be less resistant to sulphate attack. Tensile strength in bonding was better in a stabilized commercial mortar tested.

title: CORRELATING SINGLE-MOLECULE SERS STATISTICS TO PLASMONIC NANOCLUSTER STRUCTURE AND NEAR-FIELD PROPERTIES

description: Near-field properties due to surface plasmon excitation is a key element for different applications of metal nanoparticles, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Therefore, a characterization of such properties is fundamental for the correct interpretation of experimental results, such as the strong fluctuation of intensities observed at low analyte concentrations, especially at single-molecule detection level. In this paper, we investigate, by classical electrodynamics simulations, the link between the near-field properties of metal nanoclusters and the intensity distribution that is expected in a given single-molecule SERS experiment. The results presented here points to the possibility of correlating the intensity histograms shapes to properties such as degree of field amplification localization and aggregation state of metal nanoparticles.

title: Looking for consensual protection categories to reduce conservation conflicts in protected áreas

description: ABSTRACT: Decision-making in protected areas is often difficult due to an unclear definition of management objectives and indicators for their monitoring. This is frequently related to the coexistence of systems of protected areas at national and regional levels for which management objectives are ambiguous or that are not directly related to protected areas classification standards. In this study, we proposed a participative model based on PROMETHEE II to find consensual protected areas categories based on IUCN framework. This model involved the stakeholder’s assessments of management objectives in a protected area and their aggregation based on distance comparisons with objectives of international protected areas standards. The model was tested in the Albufera de Valencia Natural Park, a strongly human-modified wetland located in Eastern Spain and it allowed the identification of consensual management priorities and the IUCN category V as the equivalent international protected area category for this regional protected area.

title: Oxidative stability of tilapia feeds containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Spirulina platensis

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of microbial biomass on the oxidative rancidity of tilapia rations stored for 12 months. Treatments included a control diet and diets supplemented with either 0.01% vitamin E, 0.25 and 0.5% of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and 0.25 and 0.5% of Spirulina platensis. Experimental diets were stored in the dark inside plastic bags at room temperature (25 °C) for 12 months. The oxidative rancidity was measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). It was concluded that the inclusions of Spirulina platensis at 0.25% (1.734 ± 0.206) and 0.5% (1.629 ± 0.181) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 0.5% (1.459 ± 0.305) minimized the oxidative rancidity in comparation to control diet (2.843 ± 0.109) of Nile tilapia until 12 months of storage.

title: Grazing height targets for Alexandergrass pastures under continuous stocking in integrated crop-livestock system

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of this experiment was to identify grazing height targets for Alexandergrass pastures under continuous stocking in integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS). For this purpose, twelve pastures were cultivated into an ICLS area, and maintained at 10, 20, 30, or 40 cm using grazing goats. The following variables were analyzed: leaf and herbage mass, accumulation rate, and allowance; leaf:stem ratio; chemical composition of hand-plucked samples; stocking rate; average daily gain and gain per area. The data were submitted to regression and correlation analysis. Significance was set at 5% (P≤0.05). The main results were: i) herbage and leaf lamina mass increased linearly with grazing height, and pastures maintained at 20 cm already presented the minimum amount recommended for soil cover in ICLS; ii) animal performance achieved an upper asymptotic plateau in pastures maintained around 30-40 cm and it was highly correlated with both grazing height and forage availability (mass and allowance). Alexandergrass pastures under continuous stocking in ICLS should be maintained between 30-40 cm to improve both cover crop biomass and animal performance.

title: The liver injury following ischemia and reperfusion is worse in experimental knockout heterozygote mouse model for expression of connexin 43

description: Abstract Purpose: To evaluate that Connexin (Cx43) plays a role in lesions after hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Methods: We use Cx43 deficient model (heterozygotes mice) and compared to a wild group. The groups underwent 1 hour ischemia and 24 hours reperfusion. The heterozygote genotype was confirmed by PCR. We analyzed the hepatic enzymes (AST, ALT, GGT) and histology. Results: The mice with Cx43 deficiency showed an ALT mean value of 4166 vs. 307 in the control group (p&lt;0.001); AST mean value of 7231 vs. 471 in the control group (p&lt;0.001); GGT mean value of 9.4 vs. 1.7 in the control group (p=0.001); histology showed necrosis and inflammation in the knockout group. Conclusions: This research demonstrated that the deficiency of Cx43 worses the prognosis for liver injury. The topic is a promising target for therapeutics advancements in liver diseases and procedures.

title: Molecular identification of Ehrlichia sp. in a beef cattle from brazilian Cerrado - case report

description: ABSTRACT Ehrlichia infections in cattle are frequent in Africa but have also been reported in Brazil and North America. This paper reports natural infection by Ehrlichia sp. associated with Babesia bigemina and Anaplasma marginale in a calf in the municipality of Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, presenting polioencephalomalacia. The molecular evidence, based on a fragment of the dsb gene, indicates a species of Ehrlichia genetically related to Ehrlichia canis and other species of the genus found in the tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and a calf from Brazil (99 to 100% identity). It was not possible to associate the clinical signs with Ehrlichia infection due to co-infections and histological evidence of another disease. However, the circulation of the bacteria in bovines in Brazilian Cerrado was confirmed and more attention should be given to clinical suspicion of tick-borne pathogens in cattle to clarify the pathogenic potential of Ehrlichia sp.

title: Stabling effects on equine respiratory tract using two different types of stable beds and pasture

description: ABSTRACT Respiratory system affections in horses are the second cause of decrease in performance and removal from the sport or farm work, which are behind only the musculoskeletal disorders. Stabling and hay feeding predisposes horses’ airways to inhalation of large numbers of irritating agents. To evaluate the influence of bed types used in bays, 3 groups of 5 horses each were studied for 45 days. Two groups were kept in stables with different wood beds - based rafters (autoclaved pine - MA and sawdust - SE) and the third group remained in the pasture. Biweekly evaluations with physical examination, hemogram, hemogasometry and bronchoalveolar lavage were performed. On physical examination, the presence of cough and sneezing was observed in animals of the SE group. In the bronchoalveolar lavage, the total nucleated cell count presented higher values in the animals in the pasture, followed by the SE group and finally the MA. It was concluded that the different beds used presented no difference with respect to the irritative capacity of the upper airways.

title: Cryopreservation of Brazilian green dwarf coconut plumules by droplet-vitrification

description: ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effect of vitrification solutions and exposure time on the cryopreservation of Brazilian green dwarf coconut plumules (BGD) using the droplet vitrification technique. Explants were excised from BGD mature fruits from the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros, Sergipe, Brazil. Firstly, embryos were disinfected, and after excision, plumules were pre-cultivated for 72 hours in Y3 + 0.6 M sucrose + 2.2 g L-1 Gelrite® culture medium. Plumules were exposed to PVS2 and PVS3 solutions for 15 and 30 minutes and rapidly immersed in liquid nitrogen (-196 ºC). After cryopreservation, they were thawed in culture medium solution (Y3 + 1.2 M sucrose) and cultured in regeneration medium. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2x2 factorial scheme (vitrification solutions per exposure times), with five replicates per treatment. Data were compared by the Tukey’s test at 5% probability. Significant differences were observed in the callogenesis percentage for the solutions x exposure time interaction for non-cryopreserved cultures (-NL) and for exposure time after cryopreservation (+NL). PVS2 and PVS3 combined with 15 minutes of exposure promoted the highest callus formation (70 and 100%, respectively) in control cultures. The exposure time of 30 min, regardless of vitrification solution, resulted in 30% embryogenic callus formation after cryopreservation. These results contributed to the long-term conservation of coconut palm.

title: Case management as a high-risk prenatal care strategy

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to discuss the benefits of using high-risk prenatal case management. Method: a qualitative, convergent care study with six high-risk pregnant women, performed in a municipality in the south of Brazil. Data were produced by case management from April to August of 2017 through observation-participant. Analysis followed the processes of Convergent Care Research: apprehension, synthesis, theorization and transfer. Results: case management identified important elements in the care of pregnant women, which denoted a greater complexity to the cases; was shown as a relevant space for nurses to act, because it is an intervention that requires knowledge and specific skills. Final considerations: case management provides differentiated management in complex cases, facilitates the flow between health services, concretizing the comprehensiveness and equity of the care. It was found, in the convergence between research and care, that participants were benefited by case management.
