title: Sedentary time and perceived neighborhood environment in adolescents aged 12-17 years

description: Abstract The environment around the residence could contribute to attenuate or increase time spent in sedentary activities, and in low energy expenditure activities (1.5 METS) in adolescents. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between sedentary time and perceived neighborhood environment in adolescents aged 12-17 years living in southern Brazil. This was an observational cross-sectional study conducted from August 2013 to May 2014, with a sample of adolescents (12-17 years), recruited from 32 census tracts in Curitiba, Brazil. All census tracts were selected according to walkability and income characteristics. Perceived environment was assessed through the NEWS-Y questionnaire, and sedentary time along seven days was obtained through accelerometers (GT1M, GT3x and GT3x+). Linear regression models were used to test the associations, and included age, nutritional status, socioeconomic level and education level as confounding variables. All analyses were performed considering p-value &lt;0.05 through SPSS software 20.0. The analytical sample included 364 adolescents (girls=50.5%; mean age=14.7, SD=1.7) with valid accelerometry data, showing on 489.6 minutes/day (SD=99.5) spent in sedentary time activities. After adjusting for confounding variables, only the perception of places for walking and cycling remained associated with sedentary time for both boys (B=-23.402, p=0.016) and girls (B=-15.572; p=0.079). Perception of places for walking and cycling has an inverse relationship with sedentary time among adolescents living in places with extremes of walkability and income.

title: Growth and yield of teak stands at different spacing

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth and yield of teak (Tectona grandis) stands at different spacing and in different soil classes. Twelve spacing were evaluated in an Inceptisol and Oxisol, in plots with an area of 1,505 or 1,548 m2, arranged in a completely randomized design with nine replicates. The teak trees were measured at 26, 42, 50, and 78 months of age. Total tree height was less affected by spacing. Mean square diameter was greater in wider spacing, whereas basal area and total volume with bark were greater in closer spacing. An increase in volume with bark per tree was observed with the increase of useful area per plant. For teak trees, growth stagnation happens earlier, the growth rate is higher in closer spacing, and the plants grow more in the Inceptisol than in the Oxisol.

title: Comparison of some functionalities of water soluble peptides derived from Turkish cow and goat milk Tulum cheeses during ripening

description: Abstract In this study, profiles and functional properties such as antioxidant, mineral binding, and antimicrobial activities of water-soluble peptides from Turkish goat milk Tulum cheese and cow milk Tulum cheese were examined during the ripening period. According to the results of RP-HPLC, the number of peptides increased as the ripening days progressed due to proteolysis. DPPH results indicated that the antioxidant activity of peptides increased as the ripening days progressed for these cheeses. However, the highest antioxidant activity of peptide extracts was found in goat milk Tulum cheese according to the DPPH assay. The highest Iron (II) binding activity of peptide extracts was determined in goat milk Tulum cheese on the 60th day. Peptide extracts obtained from goat milk Tulum cheese on the 90th day demonstrated an inhibitory effect against Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028.

title: Analysis of the lipid profile of patients submitted to sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the improvements in lipid profile in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Methods: in a mixed cohort study, we evaluated 334 patients undergoing SG and 178 patients undergoing RYGB at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Pernambuco and at the Real Hospital Português de Beneficência, Recife, PE, Brazil. We measured serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides preoperatively and at three, six, 12 and 24 months follow-up. Results: the SG group consisted of 58 men and 276 women. In the group submitted to RYGB, there were 64 men and 114 women. The mean age was 37.2±20.5 years in the SG group and 41.9±11.1 years in the RYGB group. The preoperative mean BMI was 39.4±2.6kg/m2 and 42.7±5.8kg/m2 for the SG and RYGB groups, respectively. In the preoperative period, 80% of the patients had at least one abnormality in the lipid profile. Two years after surgery, there was improvement in total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides in the group submitted to RYGB. In the group submitted to SG, after two years there was improvement in total cholesterol, HDL and triglyceride levels. Conclusion: both techniques resulted in improvements in the lipid profile, but the RYGB was more effective.

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in patients submitted to sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux- en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Methods: this is a comparative study of 576 patients submitted to bariatric surgery, 338 to SG and 238 to RYGB, and evaluated for hemoglobin, iron, ferritin, zinc and vitamin B12 serum levels. We performed these dosages in the preoperative period and at three, six, 12 and 24 months after surgery, for analysis and comparison of micronutrient deficiencies among the techniques. Results: the SG group consisted of 48 men and 290 women, with a mean BMI of 39.4±2.6kg/m2, and a mean of age of 37.2±11 years; the group RYGB consisted of 77 men and 161 women, with mean BMI 42.7±5.9kg/m2, and a mean age of 41.9±11.1 years. After 24 months, hemoglobin deficiency was present in 24.4% of the patients submitted to SG and in 40% of the RYGB individuals (p=0.054); iron deficiency was present in 6,6% of SG patients and in 15% of RYGB ones (p=0.127); ferritin deficiency occurred in 17.8% of the SG group and in 23.7% of RYGB one (p=0.399); the Zinc deficiency incidence was 6.6% in SG and 30% in RYGB (p=0.002); and B12 deficiency took place in 6.6% the SG patients and in 8.7% of RYGB ones (p=0.844). Conclusion: patients undergoing SG had serum levels of iron and zinc superior to the ones undergoing RYGB, the prevalence of the latter micronutrient deficit being significantly higher in the RYGB group.

title: Improvement of quality and shelf-life of Sübye, a traditional beverage of Turkey

description: Abstract Sübye, a traditional beverage of Turkey, is produced from melon seeds, sugar, and water. The standard production protocol for Sübye beverage includes mixing minced rehydrated melon seed mass with sugar to obtain Sübye paste in the ratio of 1:1.125 (w/w), respectively, and mixing 25% of the paste with water. The total moisture, sugar, fat, protein, and ash contents of the standardized beverage were found to be 84.24%, 11.65%, 1.52%, 1.35%, and 0.21%, respectively. A 99% suspension stability of the beverage was achieved after one day of storage by addition of a xanthan gum:guar gum combination (0.04%:0.5% and 0.05%:0.4%). No significant differences (p&gt;0.05) were found between the gum-containing samples and control samples for the Hunter color values and for the sensory characteristics, such as mouthfeel, taste, and overall acceptability (except for appearance). Nisin:natamycin (2 ppb:30 ppm) was statistically found to be the most effective antimicrobial combination for aerobic mesophilic bacteria after storage for 6 days. Nisin:natamycin (2 ppb:30 ppm) and nisin:potassium sorbate (2 ppb:250 ppm) combinations were found the most effective antimicrobial combinations for mold and yeast count after storage for 3 days and 6 days, respectively.

title: Hydrological calibration and validation of the MGB-IPH model for water resource management in the upper Teles Pires River basin in the Amazon-Cerrado ecotone in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The upper Teles Pires River basin is located in the Brazilian agriculture frontier in the north of Mato Grosso state and has experienced significant changes in land use and cover, which can cause major changes in its hydrological dynamics. Climatic and hydrologic data are scarce in the region, which poses uncertainties in the decision-making process aiming at the sustainable management of water resources in this strategic area. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Large-Scale Distributed Hydrological Model (MGB-IPH) to assess water availability of the upper Teles Pires basin and support water resource management in the Amazon-Cerrado ecotone. The MGB-IPH model was calibrated and validated using data from three streamflow stations available in the basin. In order to verify the model performance, the Nash-Sutcliffe (NS) and the PBIAS statistical parameters were applied. Our results show that, by using the MGB-IPH model with generally available data, the maximum and minimum flow regimes can be successfully assessed in the upper Teles Pires basin. The continuity curves of daily flow simulated by the model showed a good fit with the observed flow. Overall, the results demonstrated the applicability of the MGB-IPH model for water resource assessment and management in the basin.

title: A study of strain and deformation measurement using the Arduino microcontroller and strain gauges devices

description: Abstract This paper presents a methodology for the measurement of strain by means of strain-gauges, where the data acquisition is done by using an Arduino Uno board, due to the low-cost and the easy manipulation of this microcontrollers. The measured signal conditioning is performed by means of a Wheatstone Bridge and then discretized by an Analog-Digital Converter (ADC) external to the Arduino. For the validation of the proposed measurement system, experiments are performed on a cantilever beam and on a cantilever-supported shaft, where the experimental results are compared with those obtained analytically and by simulation using the finite element method. The results obtained are in agreement with the literature and demonstrate that the proposed system has satisfactory accuracy.

title: Competitiveness factors of Brazilian municipalities: proposal for an analysis model

description: Abstract This study proposes a model to analyze the competitiveness of Brazilian municipalities. The research was conducted in two stages: (i) a bibliometric review, covering the period from 2000 to 2014, to identify the variables adopted in the worldwide literature analyzing factors of municipal competitiveness and regional development; and (ii) a study on which of these factors are available, in a structured form, from official sources in Brazil, in order to collect secondary data and observe the situation at the municipal level. As a result, from the 88 indicators identified in the literature, 64 were available in different data bases in Brazil. The theoretical construct derived from this review is the conceptual basis for the proposed model and consists of six formative analytical dimensions: science and technology, economics, demography, infrastructure, education and health.

title: The effect of lavender (Lavandula stoechas) on the shelf life of a traditional food: hamsi kaygana

description: Abstract This study aimed to determine the effect of Lavandula stoechas, which is intensively grown in Muğla and known as lavender, on the meat quality and shelf life of hamsi kaygana, a traditional food in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. The study groups consist of the control group (K), a group containing 0.1% (A), 0.5% (B), and 1% (C) lavender. After performing the initial analyses, all groups were stored at 4 ± 1 °C. During the storage, the proximate composition, sensory, physicochemical, chemical and microbiological analyses were carried out. According to the chemical results, the lavender added to hamsi kaygana at the rates of 0.5% and 1% had an antioxidant effect and TBA obtained on day 20 in group C did not exceed the limit values. It draws attention that lavender has a positive effect on TVB-N. There was less development in the groups in which lavender was added in microbiological terms. The best score in terms of sensory acceptance correlate well within the group B during storage (1 to 9 days) was evaluated. This study has revealed that hamsi kaygana, can be transported to wider markets, by increasing its durability with spices such as lavender and longer-term preservation and easy transportation with different packaging techniques.
