title: FOOD WASTE AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

description: ABSTRACT This paper aims to present an analysis of the scientific output on performance measurement and food waste as well as the trends and challenges in the field. Food waste increases food insecurity and misuses scarce natural and financial resources. However, there are many difficulties in measuring waste at the aggregate level, and the various ways used in companies lack a systemic approach. A systematic literature review was conducted using bibliometrics to guide the content analysis. The results indicate a lack of articles focusing on performance measurement systems for the whole supply chain with an emphasis on sustainability. The application of digital technologies to performance measurement systems is a trend that was observed. That opens an opportunity for research that aims to better quantify food waste and contribute to reduce food insecurity.

title: Prevalence, risk factors and survival in dogs with myxomatous valve degeneration

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence, survival time, and risk factors of myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) in dogs by a retrospective observational cohort study design of a Brazilian veterinary center, admitted from 2012 to 2018 (2.585 days). Considering the 105 dog files confirmed as MMVD, the prevalence of the disease was higher in small-breed dogs with ages from 10 to 19 years (30.3%). The survival time of the dogs at B1 stage (1.854 ± 145 days) was higher than the B2 (1.508+209) and C/D (930 ± 209). Higher risks of death (hazard ratio) were detected in the presence of syncope (2.5), pulmonary crackling (2.0), dyspnea (1.9), and higher values of vertebral heart scale (1.7), radiographic left atrium dimension (1.8), the ACVIM staging (1.7), and the duration of QRS complex (1.05). The results achieved demonstrated higher prevalence of MMVD in old small-breed dogs, associated with longer survival time in the B1 stage of the disease, and higher risk of death related to the presence of clinical signs, such as dyspnea, syncope, and pulmonary crackling, beyond some radiographic, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic variables of heart or atrial enlargement.

title: Fruit quality of West Indian cherry under saline water irrigation and nitrogen-potassium fertilization

description: ABSTRACT The presence of waters with high salt concentration stands out as a limiting factor for the quality of agricultural production. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the fruit quality of West Indian cherry cv. Flor Branca, subjected to irrigation with water of different salinity levels and combinations of nitrogen-potassium fertilization, between 630 and 750 days after transplanting in the field. A randomized block design was used in a 5 × 4 factorial arrangement, with three replicates, whose treatments consisted of five values of electrical conductivies of irrigation water - ECw (0.3, 1.3, 2.3, 3.3 and 4.3 dS m-1) and four combinations of nitrogen and potassium fertilization (70-50, 100-75, 130-100 and 160-125% of recommendation of N and K2O, respectively). Electrical conductivity of irrigation water above 0.3 dS m-1 reduces the polar and equatorial diameters, hydrogen potential and flavonoid concentration and increases titratable acidity in West Indian cherry fruits. N-K2O combination of 70/50% of fertilizer recommendation reduces the effect of salt stress of irrigation water on the anthocyanin concentration in the fruits at ECw of 1.3 dS m-1 and ascorbic acid at ECw of 3.3 and 4.3 dS m-1.

title: REDUCING FOOD WASTE THROUGH LEAN AND SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS: A CASE STUDY FROM THE POULTRY INDUSTRY

description: ABSTRACT The growing need for solving the problem of food waste for tackling the survival of the planet and humankind is encouraging researchers to seek sustainable operations that alter the conventional methods that are currently in use in the food industry. Lean thinking has been used in this study to propose sustainable operations that incorporate social, economic, and environmental aspects and to handle the multidisciplinary and complex nature of reducing food waste. The value stream mapping methodology has been employed to explain food waste and generate drivers and to observe the end-to-end system flow. Since most of the waste is observed in upstream operations in emerging economies, one of the biggest meat-processing companies in Turkey is studied for illustrating the proposed methodology. As a result of the model, lean and sustainable food operations are suggested considering social, economic and environmental aspects.

title: Non-destructive simple model to estimate the leaf area through midvein in cultivars of Vitis vinifera

description: Abstract Mathematical models are indirect and non-destructive methods for estimating the leaf area (LA), an important parameter associated with canopy vigor in Vitis viniferavineyards. This work aims to adjust and test mathematical models for estimating LA using the midvein length of the Vitis vinifera cultivars conducted in horizontal and vertical training systems in the Serra Gaúcha region, Brazil. Leaves were collected in ‘Chardonnay’, ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ vineyards conducted in trellis and lyre training systems, and in ‘Merlot’ vineyards conducted in trellis and espalier systems. Models were tested for establishing the correlations among the parameters LA and midvein length, considering the cultivar/training system and the general data set. For validation, linear regression between the observed and estimated LA was defined. The relationship between the midvein length and LA was defined by non-linear potential equations (R2aj 0.95-0.98). The performances of the specific and general models were similar regardless of the cultivar/training system. The adjusted models showed excellent results in the validation step (correlation 0.95-0.98; Wilmott index &gt;0.97 and confidence index&gt;0.92). It is possible to estimate the LA of Vitis vinifera Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot cultivars using a simple non-destructive model that employs one single measurement of the leaf blade, to optimize the vegetative canopy quantification in vineyards.

title: Anatomical description of the skulls of peccaries (Tayassu tajacu, Linnaeus 1758) by computed tomography

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical structures of the skulls of peccaries to establish the basis for their clinical study and future preclinical research. Ten skulls of adult peccaries were subjected to tomographic examination. The data obtained were processed via three-dimensional image reconstruction software (3D images). The reconstructions obtained from the neurocranium of the studied specimens allowed the identification and description of the following structures: nasal bone, frontal bone, parietal bones, incisor bone, maxillary bone, zygomatic bone, temporal bone, palatal bone, occipital bone, vomer bone, pterygoid bone, sphenoid bone, paranasal sinuses and orbit. Computed tomography proved to be an important diagnostic tool in the investigation of the skull of this species, allowing the acquisition of anatomical values not yet documented for the species in the literature.

title: Environmental education in municipal schools in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul

description: Abstract: The object in this article is environmental education, as it has been developed in the Municipal Education Network (Reme) of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. The objective is to understand the systematization of environmental education in the contemporary public school. The guiding question is the way in which didactic work is carried out within the scope of environmental education at school. It is based on the didactic work category as a concrete form of school work. The research procedure consisted of analysis of didactic manuals in the areas of Geography and Science in elementary education, and systematic observations in meetings for teachers' continuing education. The data were analyzed in the light of the theoretical-methodological framework of science of history. It was found that environmental education, like education in general, took on a bookish and verbal character that distances itself from scientific rigor and from the living experiences constituted by the relations between men and the environment.

title: Characterization of briquettes produced from eucalyptus wood waste generated in agro-industries

description: ABSTRACT Boilers are widely used by industries and thermoelectric plants to generate renewable energy. However, when biomass is consumed, residues are generated, which for the most part cannot be discarded appropriately. This study investigated the reuse of eucalyptus wood waste with the goal of transforming the residue into resistant and durable briquettes for reuse in furnaces and boilers. The physico-chemical properties of the residue were studied in terms of chemical composition by X-ray fluorescence, and its crystalline structure was evaluated by X-ray diffraction. Both thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the thermal decomposition of the wood waste residue. The residue was compacted in a universal press with sufficient humidity to fabricate briquettes under different conditions of mechanical pressure. Apparent density, durability, and burning tests were carried out on the briquettes. The maximum temperature reached during burning is dependent on the fabrication compaction pressure. The briquettes proved suitable for burning in boilers and furnaces, and their durability is advantageous for handling, reuse, and transportation.

title: Starch balance in perennial organs of Carya illinoinensis Koch in a production cycle

description: Abstract Pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis Koch) is a native specie in Northern Mexico and the Southeastern United States, both countries dominate the production of walnuts to worldwide. The objective was to determine starch balance in root and trunk monthly in two varieties (Western and Wichita), during a production cycle. Sampling was systematic. Results in root and stem showed differences in starch concentrations between varieties, Wichita presented higher concentrations than Western. Wichita variety, in both organs, showed better accumulation conditions of starch. In response to higher starch accumulation in this variety its due to biotic and abiotic requirements to develop up are less demanding than other varieties.

title: Intravaginal progesterone device (1.9g) and estradiol benzoate for follicular control in the mare during spring and summer

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate follicular growth and ovulatory rates in mares treated with an intravaginal progesterone device (P4) during the 10-day period, associated with the use of estradiol benzoate (EB). The results were compared during the transition period (ET) in the spring and the breeding season in the summer (ER). The variables were submitted to ANOVA (Tukey's test), considering P&lt;0.05. No ovulation occurred during the permanence of the P4 implant in both experimental periods. The ovulatory rate in the ER was 100% (n = 8) and in the ET 62.5% (n = 5; P = 0.0547). Significant differences were observed (&lt;0.001), in both periods, comparing follicular growth rates during the permanence of P4 device (ER: 1.33 ± 0.89mm/d; ET: 1.00 ± 0.81mm/d) to the period without P4 (ER: 3.63 ± 1.33 mm/d; ET: 3.31 ± 1.66 mm/d). The present study demonstrated applicability and efficiency of a hormonal protocol using P4 intravaginal device and EB for follicular control in mares, both during ET and ER.
