title: Artificial intelligence in seeding density optimization and yield simulation for oat

description: ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence may represent an efficient strategy for simulation and optimization of important processes in agriculture. The main goal of the study is to propose the use of artificial intelligence, namely artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms, respectively, in the simulation of oat grain yield and optimization of seeding density, considering the main succession systems of southern Brazil. The study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with four replicates, following a 4 x 2 factorial scheme, for seeding densities (100, 300, 600 and 900 seeds m-2) and oat cultivars (Brisasul and URS Taura), in succession systems of corn/oats and soybean/oats. A multi-layered artificial neural network and a genetic algorithm were implemented in Java programming language, and the results obtained from this implementation were compared with traditional polynomial regression. The use of artificial intelligence through neural networks and genetic algorithms allows the efficient simulation of oat grain yield and better optimization of seeding density in comparison to polynomial regression, considering the main succession systems in southern Brazil.

title: The effects of IL-10 gene polymorphism on serum, and gingival crevicular fluid levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in chronic periodontitis

description: Abstract Objective Anti-inflammatory cytokines play a crucial role in periodontitis by inhibiting synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of interleukin-10 (-597) gene polymorphism and genotype distributions on chronic periodontitis (CP) development and IL-6 and IL-10 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment. Material and Methods The study population consisted of 55 severe generalized CP patients as CP group and 50 healthy individuals as control group. Plaque index, gingival index, probing depth and clinical attachment level were recorded and GCF and blood samples were taken at both the baseline and the sixth week after non-surgical periodontal treatment. PCR-RFLP procedure was used for gene analyses and cytokine levels were measured via ELISA. Results IL-10 genotype distribution was significantly different between CP and control groups (p=0.000, OR:7, 95%CI, 2.83-60.25). Clinical measurements significantly improved in the CP group after periodontal treatment (p&lt;0.05). Periodontal treatment significantly decreased GCF IL-6 and IL-10 levels. No significant difference was found in clinical parameters between IL-10 AA and AC+CC genotypes at both the baseline and the sixth week (p&gt;0.05). Sixth week GCF IL-10 levels were significantly lower in patients carrying IL-10 AC+CC genotype compared to the patients carrying IL-10 AA genotype (p&lt;0.05). Serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels were lower in patients carrying the IL-10 AA genotype compared to patients with IL-10 AC+CC genotype, but the difference was not significant (p&gt;0.05). Conclusion IL-10 AA genotype carriers had lower IL-6 and IL-6/10 levels in serum; however, GCF IL-6/10 levels were similar in both genotypes. Within the limitations of our study, a possible association between IL-10(-597) gene polymorphism and CP might be considered.

title: Effects of long-term resistance training on blood pressure: a systematic review

description: Abstract Studies assessed the beneficial effects of aerobic exercise on blood pressure (BP); however, few studies have evaluated the effects of long-term resistance training on variations of this response. The aim of the study was to verify through a systematic review, the long-term effect of resistance training on BP. Searches were made on Medline through Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science and Lilacs databases. Overall, 751 articles were found, of which 22 were further analyzed. The analysis followed the PRISMA checklist (Statement for Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Studies) and was divided according to two resistance training models: traditional resistance training (TRT), resistance training alone; or combined resistance training (CRT), resistance training associated with aerobic exercise. Greater BP reductions occurred for CRT compared to TRT. However, further studies are needed to better explicit the resistance training variables (number of exercises, repetitions, number of sets, intervals, speed of execution and load intensity), in order to identify the best training model and improve the methodological quality of experiments in an attempt to reduce the risk of bias.

title: Silicon and agar on in vitro development of cockscomb (Amaranthaceae)

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of silicon and agar concentrations on cockscomb (Celosia cristata) (Amaranthaceae) development in vitro. Phytotechnical, anatomical, and ultrastructural analyses were carried out in a completely randomized design, in a 4x3 factorial arrangment, with four silicic acid concentrations (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 g L-1) and three agar concentrations (5.5, 8.0, and 10.5 g L-1), totaling 12 treatments with seven replicates. Celosia cristata explants were inoculated in vitro in a Murashige & Skoog (MS) culture medium, with 30 g L-1 sucrose. The analyses were conducted 30 days after inoculation. Phytotechnical traits improve with agar concentration of 8.0 g L-1, and the association of this concentration with 1.0 g L-1 silicon also contributes to the improvement of anatomical attributes, especially of leaf blade width and thickness of the palisade and spongy parenchyma, which contributes to the development of C. cristata. None of the evaluated combinations of agar and silicon contributes to Si deposition on the foliar epidermis of this ornamental species.

title: Comparison between multi-spot laser and conventional laser in treatment of diabetic clinically significant macular edema

description: Abstract Objectives: The purpose of this work is to assess the safety and the efficacy of multi-spot laser in comparison with the conventional laser in the treatment of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy with CSME in relation to the visual outcome, central macular thickness by (OCT) and the presence of adverse events. Methods: prospective randomized study on total number of 50 eyes divided in two groups each one 25 patients . group A patients underwent focal, grid laser or modified grid macular laser photocoagulation using green laser 532nm GYC-1000. Group B underwent focal ,grid laser or modified grid macular laser photocoagulation multispot laser photocoagulation (VALON TT inclusion criteria was diabetes mellitus type II patients , clinically significant macular edema . patients were monitored by BCVA, OCT, IOP, adverse events pre and 1 week , one month , three months postoperative. Results: The mean preoperative BCVA in group A with conventional laser was 0.294 ± 0.1715 decimal and in group B with multispot laser (valon ) was 0.3040 ± 0.2140 . The mean BCVA 3 months post-laser in group A was 0.4820 ±0.244 decimal and in Group B was 0.5080 ± 0.1977. Central macular thickness of the patients was measured pre-laser and in the follow up periods of 1week, one month, three months. The mean preoperative CMT in Group A was 375.92 ± 65.69 um and in Group B was 361.0± 50.400 um. The mean CMT 3 months post-laser in Group A was 314.44 ±85.938 um and in Group B was 0322.668 ± 57.500 um. The multisport system parameters used higher power of mean 155 mW ± 90.1 more than the conventional laser 100 mW ± 19.4 to produce the same therapeutic visible effect. Conclusion: We found that multisport system is safe, rapid, effective in treatment of clinically significant macular edema in short term follow up periods and had short exposure time. Although the shorter pulse duration of the multisport system necessitates the use of a higher power, it is not associated with adverse effects.

title: Strategic occupation project of the córrego da Aldeia’s valley bottom in the urban perimeter of Fernandópolis/SP

description: Abstract Urban policies lead to the occupation of the valley bottoms without respecting the natural dynamics, applying the environmental legislation and the urbanistic instruments in a similar way to the rural area. In addition, these areas suffer with real estate market devaluation and abandonment by the public authorities. In recent years environmentalists and urbanists have debated on the understanding of the current Forestry Code application in urban areas. Thus, this work carried out in Fernandópolis, SP, in the sources of the Aldeia stream, proved the inefficiency of all projects developed to date. Asphalt paving, rainwater piping and the buffering of some stretches of watercourses aggravated the erosive process. Environmental education and reforestation projects were restricted to small areas and flooding problems were never addressed. The implantation of the linear park of the Aldeia stream demonstrates to be a viable alternative, rescuing and mobilizing the local population, transforming the coexistence with the urban waterways and achieving the desired goals at social, cultural and ecological levels without compromising the important role of valley bottom areas in maintaining biodiversity and environmental balance.

title: Comparisons of recovery, external and internal load by playing position and match outcome in professional soccer

description: Abstract AIMS To compare the internal and external load and the recovery by playing position and the match outcome (wins, losses or draws) in professional soccer. METHODS 23 male professional soccer athletes from a team of the first division of the Brazilian Championship took part into the study (age 26.1 ± 3.8 years old, weight 77.5 ± 5.0 kg, height 177.6 ± 5.1 cm). During the games, athletes were monitored by GPS and the variables of external loads were taken. Additionally, the session rating of perceived exertion (session RPE) and the perceived recovery scale (PRS) were collected 30 minutes and 40h after the end of the matches, respectively. RESULTS The external load was greater on full-backs and defense midfielders (p&lt;0.05). The full-backs cover higher total distances compared to attackers, and, compared to all the others positions, they have more stimuli &gt; 20 km/h, covering higher distances &gt;20 km/h; these stimuli makes them to perceive less recovered than defenders, defense and attack midfielders (p&lt;0.05). Moreover, the defenders are those who cover lower distances by the minute and the defense midfielders are those who present the lower Peak Velocity (p&lt;0.05). There were no significant differences between GPS variables, internal load and recovery. In addition, it was found a correlation between the external and the internal load (r=0.66; p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS The GPS variables and the perceived recovery are influenced by the playing position, but not by the match outcome.
