title: Post-harvest conservation of Passiflora alata fruits under ambient and refrigerated condition

description: Abstract Brazil is the world's largest producer of passion fruit, a perishable fruit with reduced post-harvest shelf life, which limits its commercialization. For sweet passion fruit, Passiflora alata, there is little information about its postharvest conservation and shelf life under different storage conditions. Thus, the objective of the present study was to determine the post-harvest conservation of P. alata fruits packed on styrofoam trays rapped with 10 μm PVC film and HDPE 30 μm thick, coated with 18% carnauba wax and without any packaging; stored under ambient conditions (25 °C and 70% relative humidity) and refrigerated (10 °C and 90% relative humidity) for 14 days. The best results were obtained with P. alata fruits packaged on styrofoam trays rapped with 10 μm PVC flexible film and kept under refrigeration in a cold room at a temperature of 10 °C and relative humidity between 85% and 90% for a period of 10 to 14 days. Fruits of P. alata , for commercialization “in natura”, kept under ambient conditions, should not be packaged and have a shelf life of up to seven days.

title: Assessment of the impacts of the consumers’ awareness of organic food on consumption behavior

description: Abstract Consumer demand for organic foods has increased significantly in recent years in the world. Consumers are influenced by various internal/external factors when purchasing food products. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of knowledge variable on consumers’ purchasing or consuming behavior for organic foods together with other factors in Turkey (Hatay City). For this purpose, the effects of consumers’ organic product knowledge levels are examined within the frame of Theory of Planned Behavior. The data of 431 consumers analyzed in the model were collected in 2017 with a 21 scale questionnaire and analyzed with Structural Equation Model. According to the results of the model analysis, a significant part of the variance in consumers' organic food demand (61%) was explained by the organic food knowledge variable. Reducing consumption obstacles, along with efforts to increase the organic food knowledge of consumers, will increase organic demand. While trying to increase the supply of organic products especially in regions where consumers are concentrated, the food production sector should also focus on informing, raising awareness and promoting. The actual buying behavior in organic food products should be examined in more detail in terms of motivation sources and obstacles.

title: Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms of Glucose Uptake Stimulated by Physical Exercise in Insulin Resistance State: Role of Inflammation

description: Abstract Obesity associated with systemic inflammation induces insulin resistance (IR), with consequent chronic hyperglycemia. A series of reactions are involved in this process, including increased release of proinflammatory cytokines, and activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) receptors. Among the therapeutic tools available nowadays, physical exercise (PE) has a known hypoglycemic effect explained by complex molecular mechanisms, including an increase in insulin receptor phosphorylation, in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity, in the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK) pathway, with subsequent activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), Rac1, TBC1 domain family member 1 and 4 (TBC1D1 and TBC1D4), in addition to a variety of signaling molecules, such as GTPases, Rab and soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attached protein receptor (SNARE) proteins. These pathways promote greater translocation of GLUT4 and consequent glucose uptake by the skeletal muscle. Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase (PDK), atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) and some of its isoforms, such as PKC-iota/lambda also seem to play a fundamental role in the transport of glucose. In this sense, the association between autophagy and exercise has also demonstrated a relevant role in the uptake of muscle glucose. Insulin, in turn, uses a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent mechanism, while exercise signal may be triggered by the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The objective of this review is to describe the main molecular mechanisms of IR and the relationship between PE and glucose uptake.

title: "Overtime Hours Effect" on Emergency Surgery of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

description: Abstract Objective: Treatment of acute diseases of the aorta is still associated with high mortality and morbidity. It is believed that interventions for these diseases on overtime hours (night shifts or weekend shifts) may increase mortality. In this study, we investigated the effect of performing acute type A aortic dissection surgery on overtime hours in terms of postoperative outcomes. Methods: 206 patients who underwent emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection were retrospectively evaluated. Two groups were constituted: patients operated on daytime working hours (n=61), and patients operated on overtime hours (n=145), respectively. Results: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and repeat surgery were higher in group 1. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of operative and postoperative results. Mortality rates and postoperative neurological complications in group 1 were 9.8% and 13.1%, respectively. In group 2, these rates were 13.8% and 12.4%, respectively (P=0.485 - P=0.890). Multivariate analysis identified that cross-clamp time, amount of postoperative drainage, preoperative loss of consciousness and postoperative neurological complications are the independent predictors of mortality. Conclusions: As the surgical experience of the clinics improves, treatment of acute type A aortic dissections can be successfully performed both overtime and daytime working hours.

title: Luck, money, love...: what can the ‘animals’ of the Amazon do for us ‘humans’?

description: Abstract This article presents the results of an ethnographic study of the symbolic universe that permeates the relationship between humans and animals in the Mapuá Extractive Reserve on Marajó Island in Pará, Brazil. The objective was to describe the knowledge and relationships that emerged from the cosmological apprehensions attached to the animals in the Conservation Unit. Active observation and semi-structured interviews were the main tools used. The research demonstrated a typically Amazonian worldview that appears indistinctly between the domains of nature and culture, pointing out the inexistence of this duality or some other understanding of these divisions. The study reveals a rich biocultural heritage involving social life, the natural world, and cosmological life governed by the same categories.

title: Association of Platelet to Lymphocyte and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratios with In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Type A Acute Aortic Dissection

description: Abstract Objective: To evaluate the relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with in-hospital mortality in type A acute aortic dissection (AAD). Methods: A total of 96 patients who presented to the emergency department between January 2013 and June 2018 with a diagnosis of type A AAD were enrolled in this study. White blood cell count subtypes such as NLR and PLR were calculated at the time of admission. The end point was in-hospital mortality. Results: Of the 96 type A AAD patients included in this analysis, 17 patients (17.7%) died during hospitalization. NLR and PLR were significantly elevated in patients with type A AAD (P&lt;0.001 and &lt;0.001, respectively). Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve, the best NLR cut-off value to predict in-hospital mortality was 9.74, with 70.6% sensitivity and 76.8% specificity, whereas the best PLR cut-off value was 195.8, with 76.5% sensitivity and 78.1% specificity. Conclusion: Admission NLR and PLR levels were important risk factors and independently associated with in-hospital mortality of type A AAD patients.

title: Effect of rice variety and milling fraction on the starch gelatinization and rheological properties of rice milk

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the rheological properties of rice milk produced from raw rice including rice varieties and milling fractions. Rice milk was prepared from two rice varieties, which were Arhent (long grain) and Bengal (medium grain) using brown, head and broken fractions of the two cultivars used. Gelatinization temperatures for each rice variety, milling fraction, and rheological behaviors of rice milk were examined. Flow behaviors of rice milk were significantly affected by the variety and milling fractions of raw rice. The different amylose to amylopectin ratios of the two varieties, the compositional differences and the subsequent impact on the gelatinization temperature of raw rice used in rice milk were the primary reasons for these differences. Rice milk prepared from Bengal showed greater consistency coefficients, showing a Newtonian flow behavior compared to the rice milk made from Arhent variety. Broken rice showed a potential to be as a raw material in the rice milk industry since it showed similar flow properties compared to the head rice (i.e. within the same variety).

title: “Barraqueiras” and heroines: feminist writings on Porto Alegre’s streets

description: Abstract When walking through the streets of Porto Alegre, we face many messages directed to women, talking about feminism, lesbian visibility, violence against women, empowerment, among others. These words are painted, “pichadas”, glued, they are on walls, buildings, poles, in a way of doing politics that mixes with urban art. In this article I investigate women who use urban space as a canvas to spread their message. By diverting from the standard norm, where the domain of the gaze and the public space is assumed to be masculine, I talk about the visual and artistic production of militancy related to gender issues and how this is reflected in the occupation of the streets. From photographic observation and cataloging of messages and interviews with artists, I research on feminist activism tactics related to the act of producing art and occupation of the city by female bodies.

title: ‘Ideas in motion’: José Augusto Garcez and the reinvention of folklore in the Museu Sergipano de Arte e Tradição (1948)

description: Abstract This paper analyzes the trajectory of the Sergipean collector José Augusto Garcez (1918-1992) and his transits in the reinvention of folklore through museological exhibitions, with special emphasis on the creation of the Museu Sergipano de Arte e Tradição (1948), in Aracaju, Sergipe. The objective is to understand the transformations of folklore, especially in Sergipe, through analyzing the makeup of a field of symbolic production as well as the intellectual transits and strategies of the agents responsible for mobilizing belief in certain inventions of the “popular” translated into museological exhibitions. Based on the theoretical-methodological reference of Pierre Bourdieu and analysis of a set of unpublished sources, this research contributes to the visualization of the tactics used to create museums dedicated to folklore in the northeast of the country in the early twentieth century, and how these spaces contributed to the mobilization and consolidation of certain intellectual projects.

title: Accessing the subterranean ant fauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in native and modified subtropical landscapes in the Neotropics

description: Abstract: Several studies have characterized and delimited subterranean ant assemblages. Soil extraction, one of the methods employed to access this fauna, employs the removal of monoliths. One of the most widely used methods for the extraction of soil sampling is called TSBF (developed by the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Programme). This method provides relevant data about the species associated with the soil. In the present study we characterized assemblages of subterranean ants using the TSBF method in different subtropical areas of the Neotropics. We considered two sampling designs in different localities. The first design resulted in 315 TSBF samples obtained from layers at distinct depths. The second design resulted in 270 TSBF samples and 270 epigaeic pitfall trap samples. This material was used to delimit the species that occur exclusively in the subterranean stratum (TSBF) and that are not found on the soil surface. A total of 281 species were recorded. Of these, 57 can be considered subterranean, based on their occurrence in subterranean strata. We also verified that the highest occurrence of ants was in the first 10 cm of soil depth. Due to the importance of using methods that efficiently extract the subterranean ant fauna in studies, we suggest the TSBF method should be used to sample ants or to associate this method with epigaeic pitfall traps to delimit strictly subterranean assemblages in specific community stratification studies.

title: Social representations of fatherhood: a comparative study

description: Abstract Fatherhood can be understood as a social construction. It has been going through modifications in the way it is experienced and exercised due to social movements. This study aimed to compare social representations of fatherhood in the years of 2004 and 2014. 17 testimonies from ‘Conversa de Homem’ section of - Pais & Filhos, magazine were used. It was identified that in each socio-historical moment the father presents different types of preoccupations, according to the social demands and personal issues. Man seems increasingly interested in the children’s universe, seeking more knowledge in order to be inserted in a participatory role in the lives of children. Besides, the father prepares himself for fatherhood. This greater involvement contributes to a subjective transformation of man as a person.

title: The compound, diallyl disulfide, enriched in garlic, prevents the progression of doxorubicin-induced nephropathy

description: Abstract The main medicinal property of garlic is mostly attributed to its organosulfur compounds, of which the oil-soluble diallyl disulfide (DADS) is the principal component of distilled garlic oil. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an important cellular regulator in response to oxidative stress. This study assessed the possible protective effect of DADS on doxorubicin (Dox)-induced nephrotoxicity and its potential regulation of the Nrf2 pathway. Treatment with DADS (200 μM) induced heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1) expression in a human proximal tubular cell line. The induction of HO-1 expression was suppressed in Nrf2-silenced cells. In an animal study, pretreatment with DADS relieved Dox-induced albuminuria, increased catalase activity, and reduced the urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine level. In addition, DADS ameliorated the severity of glomerulosclerosis and suppressed expressions of fibrotic and inflammatory gene expressions. Our data indicate that DADS, a major component of garlic, showed protective effects of preventing the progression of Dox-induced nephropathy through enhancing Nrf2-mediated antioxidant activity. DADS, a normal constituent of the human diet, merits investigation as a potential antioxidant daily food supplement against free radical-mediated chronic diseases.
