title: CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms are associated with obesity in Turner Syndrome

description: Abstract Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by a set of clinical conditions, including autoimmune/inflammatory diseases and infectious conditions, that can compromise a patient’s quality of life. Here we assessed polymorphisms in CTLA-4 +49A/G (rs231775), PTPN22 +1858G/A (rs2476601), and MBL2 -550 (H/L) (rs11003125), -221(X/Y) (rs7096206) and exon 1 (A/O) in women from northeastern Brazil to determine whether polymorphisms within these key immune response genes confer differential susceptibility to clinical conditions in TS. A case-control genetic association study was performed, including 86 female TS patients and 179 healthy women. An association was observed for the A/G genotype of CTLA-4 +49A/G in TS patients (p=0.043, odds ratio [OR]=0.54). In addition, an association between the CTLA-4 G/G genotype and obesity was detected in TS patients (p=0.02, OR=6.04). Regarding, the -550(H/L) polymorphism in the MBL2 promoter, the frequency of the H/L genotype was significantly higher in the TS group than healthy controls (p=0.01, OR=1.96). The H/H genotype indicated a protective effect in TS patients (p=0.01, OR=0.23). No differences were observed in the distribution of -221(X/Y), MBL2 exon 1 variants, and PTPN22 +1858G/A in any assessed groups. CTLA-4 variants are potentially involved in obesity in this cohort of TS patients from northeastern Brazil.

title: O historiador e o trato com as fontes pictóricas - a alternativa do método documentário

description: ABSTRACT This paper presents, and discusses, the Documentary Method for Analysis of Pictures, developed by Ralf Bohnsack, a researcher at Berlin Free University, and some of its possibilities for studies in History and other areas of Humanities. The search for the documentary meaning of an image, beyond the immanent one, characterizes the method, which is directed towards the analysis of the worldview, and the habitus, of the social group that produced the image. The method goes from the simple interpretation of the picture to the in-depth study of the characteristics of the social group that produced it: its ideas, actions, concepts, and prejudices. In an attempt to bring the method to History and Political Science, we present the analysis of a cartoon as an example. The cartoon was chosen for its political features, as well as for its representation of a period and a social group. The analysis of the picture seeks to demonstrate the comprehensiveness of such a source, as well as the effectiveness of the documentary method to understand the image.

title: 1-MCP efficiency in quality of ornamental peppers

description: ABSTRACT 1-MCP has been effectively used as an antagonist of ethylene deleterious actions in flowers and ornamental plants. The objective was to evaluate the efficiency of 1-MCP (0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g m-3) in maintaining post-production quality of exogenous ethylene sensitive ornamental pepper. Two commercial varieties were evaluated: Pimenta Colorida and Pimentão Ornamental, both Capsicum annuum. The pre-treatment with 1-MCP, regardless of the applied concentration, was effective in blocking the ethylene action reducing the leaves abscission, flowers and fruits of both genotypes by 100%. Plants pretreated with 1-MCP had postproduction life increased by eight and nine days for Pimenta Colorida and Pimentão Ornamental, respectively. The 1-MCP application at the concentration of 1.0 g m-3 is efficient in maintaining ornamental quality and prolonging the shelf life of Pimenta Colorida and Pimentão Ornamental.

title: Organic cabbage growth using green manure in pre-cultivation and organic top dressing fertilization

description: ABSTRACT The experiment was conducted in (Integrated Agroecological Production System in Seropedica-RJ) Sistema Integrado de Produção Agroecológica (SIPA), Seropédica-RJ, to evaluate the effect of two maize populations in relation to baby corn productivity and shoot mass, to determine the contribution of pre-cultivated maize, green velvet and organic topdressing fertilization in the agronomic performance of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with three treatments (maize population of 100,000 and 200,000 plants ha-1 and green velvet at 100,000 plants ha-1) and eight replicates. After that, cabbage was transplanted in the straw of these species, adopting a randomized block design allocated in split plots, totalizing six treatments, being three pre-cultivation practices and two organic topdressing fertilization doses (with or without 50 g fermented organic compost per planting hole). Considering “baby corn” productivity, no differences were observed compared to maize populations, with an average productivity of 822.5 kg ha-1. Green velvet pre-cultivation obtained the highest shoot dry mass (8.4 t ha-1). Cabbage crop was improved by green velvet pre-cultivation, reaching 60.7 t ha-1 and organic topdressing fertilization, reaching 60.4 t ha-1; however, in the presence of green velvet straw, topdressing fertilization did not promote additional yield benefit of this crop. Thus, we noticed that green manure using green velvet increased cabbage productivity, submitted to organic management, when compared to maize pre-cultivation, making it able to replace organic topdressing fertilization.

title: Potential of domestic sewage effluent treated as a source of water and nutrients in hydroponic lettuce

description: The search for alternative sources of water for agriculture makes the use of treated sewage sludge an important strategy for achieving sustainability. This study evaluated the feasibility of reusing treated sewage effluent as alternative source of water and nutrients for the hydroponic cultivation of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L). The experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of the Center for Agricultural Sciences - UFSCar, in Araras, SP. The cultivation took place from February to March 2014. The hydroponic system used was the Nutrient Film Technique, and included three treatments: 1) water supply and mineral fertilizers (TA); 2) use of effluent treated and complemented with mineral fertilizers based on results of previous chemical analysis (TRA); and 3) use of treated effluent (TR). The applied experimental design was four randomly distributed blocks. We evaluated the fresh weight, nutritional status, the microbiological quality of the culture, and the amount of mineral fertilizers used in the treatments. The fresh weights were subjected to analysis of variance and means were compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability. Only the TR treatment showed a significant difference in the evaluated variables, as symptoms of nutritional deficiencies in plants and significant reduction in fresh weights (p &lt;0.01) were found. There was no detectable presence of Escherichia coli in any treatment, and it was possible to use less of some fertilizers in the TRA treatment compared to TA.

title: Poetic Inventory: Notes on the Remains of the Human in Literature

description: Abstract This essay aims to analyse the electronic fiction text created by Richard Holeton - Frequently Asked Questions About "Hypertext" -, published by N. Katherine Hayles in the Electronic Literature Collection (vol. 1, 2006). As an ironic reference to another parodistic work created by Vladimir Nabokov: Pale Fire (1962), this text provides a rich material for a “posthumanist” reading about the future of poetry as an expression of the human soul. Contrary to what the title suggests, however, Holeton’s text is not presented as an academic essay on digital writing, but as an experimental poem subjected to the quaint approaches of several fictitious critics, practitioners of the analytical lines of the nowadays popular Cultural Studies. The text allows us a humorous reflection on the perturbing directions of reading, writing and the production of knowledge in contemporary world.

title: Small Solid Propellant Launch Vehicle Mixed Design Optimization Approach

description: ABSTRACT: For a small country with limited research budget and lack of advanced space technology, it is imperative to find new approaches for the development of low-cost launch vehicles (LV), which is, among all possibilities, an interesting option for rapid access to space, focused on integration of acquired components complemented with indigenously developed subsystems. This approach requires the cooperation of developed countries with huge experience and knowledge in LV development and operations. The main objective is to develop a small three stage solid propellant LV capable of delivering a payload of 100 kg to a circular low earth orbit of 600 km altitude, with the first and second stage solid rocket motors (SRM) hypothetically acquired from different countries and the third one designed and produced domestically in accordance with the production and technological capability. This approach provides main advantages such as: reduction in total time to access the space and to master the basic knowledge of launch operations. For this purpose, an integer continuous genetic algorithm global optimization method was selected and implemented, the SRM characteristics of the first and second stage were considered as integer variables, whereas the design variables of the third stage SRM and the trajectory variable were considered as continuous. A multi discipline feasible (MDF) framework was implemented along with the propulsion, aerodynamic, mass and trajectory models. Despite their particular characteristics and constraints, the results show highly acceptable values, and the approach proved to be reliable for conceptual design level.
