title: Technological, sensory and chemical characteristics of gluten-free pasta made from sorghum and corn flours

description: Abstract The only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten free diet for the whole life of the person and hence new products must be offered to this public. Sorghum and corn are cereals that, besides having functional properties, do not contain gluten-forming proteins in their composition and can therefore be inserted as ingredients into gluten-free diets. The objectives of this study were to prepare dry pasta using maize and sorghum flours and to evaluate some of the chemical and cooking characteristics, as well as the sensory acceptability of the formulated products according to a panel of celiac and non-celiac individuals. The samples included one made with only sorghum flour, another with 50% sorghum flour and 50% corn flour, and a third made with only corn flour. The product elaborated with 100% of sorghum flour had significantly higher total protein, lipid, ash, fibre and total phenolic compound contents then the others. The loss of solids of the products ranged from 5.04% to 10.54%, a quality parameter considered adequate for pasta. After cooking, the three pastas absorbed more than twice their weights in water (108.1 to 143.1%). Although the public made up of non-celiac individuals preferred the pasta made with only corn flour, the pasta made with only sorghum flour showed satisfactory acceptability amongst testers with celiac disease, which demonstrates the potential of this ingredient in pasta intended for this public.

title: CLINICAL CARE AND OVERMEDICALIZATION IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE

description: Abstract This essay analyzes the overmedicalization (unnecessary and unwanted medicalization) generated in the medical care to the ill in primary health care, and discusses how it happens and how to avoid it. The analysis combines three sets of conceptions/knowledge: conceptions of illness (dynamic/ontological); conceptions of causation (ascending/multidirectional); key conceptual and structuring ideas about medical knowledge (anatomopathological, physiopatological, semiological, epidemiological). Overmedicalization is due to the cognitive movements of the professionals in the development of diagnoses and therapies. It originates from the ontological conception of illness with ascending causation (causal flow that goes from the simplest material elements to more complex levels and dimensions), in combination with the overestimation of the anatomopathological key idea, which generates excessive diagnostic and pharmacotherapeutic interventions. In order to avoid overmedicalization, we propose the virtuous association of the dynamic conception of illness, with multidirectional causation and balanced used of the key conceptual ideas of the illnesses. This facilitates: a qualified listening; the contextualization of the cases; a more rigorous use of complementary exams; the recognition of the limits of the biomedical diagnoses; the overcoming of the metonymical reasoning (which disregards anything that is not scientifically-established knowledge); an expansion of the interpretation that goes beyond the 'illnesses' and treatments that go beyond drugs/surgeries, exploring the knowledge of the users and professionals and the return of the problems to autonomous supported management.

title: Correlations chart: Tool to analyse the dynamics of water quality parameters

description: ABSTRACT The search for statistical techniques and forms of graphical representation that can explain the most relevant correlations among limnological variables can help interpret phenomena in a body of water. The objective of the article was to propose a graphical representation of the correlations among limnological variables applied in the contributing basin of the Dr. João Penido reservoir, in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Six sections were monitored monthly from May 2012 to April 2014, analysing 15 water quality parameters and their statistical correlations. The correlations were represented graphically with the program Gephi 0.8.2-beta. The influence of organic matter (of natural and anthropogenic origin resulting from pasture runoff and sewage) on water quality was verified, with an observed increase in water quality parameters especially nitrogen and phosphorous, oxygen consumed, chemical oxygen demand, turbidity and total suspended solids. It is concluded that the correlation chart assists in the understanding of the dynamics of the water quality parameters at the different sites analysed.

title: External jugular vein hemangioma: case report

description: Abstract Hemangioma is a common tumor, normally diagnosed in children, and accounting for almost 10% of benign neoplasms. A hemangioma arising from the wall of a vessel is rare, and must be differentiated from other vascular malformations of the same origin. We report a rare case of a hemangioma arising from the wall of an external jugular vein and discuss diagnostic work-up and management.

title: Bilateral compartment syndrome of the lower limbs after urological surgery in the lithotomy position: a clinical case

description: Abstract Acute compartment syndrome of the lower extremities after urological surgery in the lithotomy position is a rare but potentially devastating clinical and medicolegal problem. We report the case of a 67-year-old male who underwent laparoscopic prostatectomy surgery to treat cancer, spending 180 minutes in surgery. Postoperatively, the patient developed acute compartment syndrome of both legs, needing emergency bilateral four-compartment fasciotomies, with repeated returns to the operating room for second-look procedures. The patient also exhibited delayed wound closure. He regained full function within 6 months, returning to unimpaired baseline activity levels. This report aims to highlight the importance of preoperative awareness of this severe complication which, in conjunction with early recognition and immediate surgical management, may mitigate long-term adverse sequelae and improve postoperative outcomes.

title: Comparison of acid and enzymatic hydrolysis of pectin, as inexpensive source to cell growth of Cupriavidus necator

description: Abstract: The present work investigated what the appropriate methods of hydrolysis of pectin for reducing compounds (RCs) production, employed as a substrate for cell growth of Cupriavidus necator. This microorganism has great importance industrial, because besides potential single cell protein (SCP), is the most studied microorganism for production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and both processes require high cell concentration with inexpensive substrates For this, it was compared to acid and enzymatic hydrolysis procedures, through rotational central composite experimental design, using pectin concentration (1.0%). It was analyzed as a variable response for both experimental design, the RCs’ production. The best conditions of each procedure were used in study kinetics of RCs’ production and as a substrate for cell growth of C. necator. The results indicated that the enzymatic hydrolysis method was the most efficient, with a 93.0% yield of RCs, while the yield for acid hydrolysis was 60.0%. The optimum conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis were an enzyme concentration of 10.01 UI/g (International Unit of enzyme per gram of pectin) and an agitation speed of 230.3 rpm. C. necator showed satisfactory growth in the media containing pectin hydrolysates, with specific growth rates (μMax) similar to those reported for other substrates.

title: Revision of Bairdiella (Sciaenidae: Perciformes) from the western South Atlantic, with insights into its diversity and biogeography

description: ABSTRACT The sciaenid genus Bairdiella comprises a group of relatively small fishes found in inshore waters and estuaries of the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific. Despite recent analyses of the phylogenetic relationships of Bairdiella, there has been no comprehensive revision of the alpha taxonomy of the species of the genus. Bairdiella ronchus from the western Atlantic, has a complex taxonomic history, with four junior synonyms recognized. Based on morphological and molecular evidence, this study indicates that B. ronchus represents a species complex. The species is therefore redescribed and its geographic range is redefined. Bairdiella veraecrucis, which is currently recognized as a junior synonym of B. ronchus, is revalidated, and a new species of the genus is described from the Atlantic coast of Brazil. Finally, inferences are made on the diversity and biogeography of the B. ronchus species complex.

title: PLURILINGUAL SOCIAL NETWORKS AND THE CREATION OF HYBRID CULTURAL SPACES

description: ABSTRACT Although plurilingualism is a well-established topic in the international literature, especially in situations of transnational mobility, we still know little about the learning and appropriation of non-standard forms of English by young Brazilians online. Unlike the instrumental uses that predominate in formal English language teaching, digital literacy practices often focus on identity construction and expression, posing questions of race, gender, sexuality, and social status. Based on a digital ethnography of a Facebook page focused on American black popular culture, we analyze the linguistic resources and cultural references drawn upon by participants. The research seeks to understand the perspectives and online practices of young Brazilians, mobilizing theoretical resources from New Literacy Studies to understand the processes of discursive construction and resignification. The results show the importance of virtual spaces for the affirmation of subaltern identities, and at the same time the spatial restriction of some discursive expressions of identity, isolated from other educational and social environments in which the participants circulate. The article concludes by considering the implications for the democratization of foreign language learning in Brazil.

title: INTERNATIONALIZATION FROM DIFFERENT LOCI OF ENUNCIATION: CONCEPTS BY THE PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUM PRACTITIONERS

description: ABSTRACT The internationalization of education has received different definitions and approaches among countries, higher education institutions (HEIs) and other agents (KNIGHT, 2003; 2004). Some authors, however, have identified certain "misconceptions" (DE WIT, 2011) and "myths" (KNIGHT, 2011) regarding the concepts that permeate the idea of internationalization of education, and they point out possible risks and undesirable consequences of this process. For this reason, it is in urgent need to critically discuss the different definitions that internationalization might receive (AZEVEDO, 2014), especially the perspectives of the practitioner subjects (CERTEAU, 2009) of the curriculum, which is the main objective of this study. The present research attempted to investigate the concepts of internationalization negotiated by social actors of the internationalization process in HEIs, namely the public servers of the Brazilian Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education (RFEPCT). Furthermore, the study brings these interpretations in dialogue with those by academics from the area. For this purpose, a semi-structured questionnaire was applied to RFEPCT public servers with different positions and functions, representing, as far as possible, the five geographic regions of Brazil. The study also had a literature review of the main theoretical models, as well as of the debate about the internationalization process of HEIs from a critical base. The data from the questionnaires were analyzed qualitatively, and the discussion is presented in dialogue with the studies on internationalization.

title: Determinants of teachers’ work ability in basic education in Brazil: Educatel Study, 2016

description: The study aimed to analyze the relationship between health, work characteristics, education, and skills on the work ability of teachers in basic education in Brazil. This was a cross-sectional, population-based study using data from the Brazilian National Survey on Health, Work Conditions, and Absences in Schoolteachers in Basic Education (Educatel Study). A probabilistic sample of 6,510 teachers answered a telephone interview in 2015 with questions on sociodemographic data, health status, education and skills, work characteristics, and absenteeism. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used in multivariate analysis and standardized coefficients (SC) were calculated to analyze direct and indirect effects between the outcomes. Health status showed a direct effect on work ability (SC = -0.83, p &lt; 0.01). Work characteristics directly affected health status (SC = 0.60, p &lt; 0.01) and work ability (SC = -0.25, p &lt; 0.05), especially noise at work and students’ unruliness. Total effect (sum of direct and indirect effects) of work characteristics on work ability was -0.75 (p &lt; 0.01). The study concluded that the relations between health status and work characteristics of Brazilian teachers in basic education are complex and negatively affect work ability. Potential actions to promote and maintain work ability should take into account the psychosocial demands of teaching and measures to maintain order and discipline in the classroom.
