title: ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS FOR PREDICTING ANIMAL THERMAL COMFORT

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to develop artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting animal thermal comfort based on temperature and relative humidity of the air for each day of the year. The data on temperature and relative humidity for a 25-year historical series collected at the Padre Ricardo Remetter Conventional Meteorological Station, located in the city of Santo Antônio de Leverger - Mato Grosso (Brazil), were retrieved from the website of the National Institute of Meteorology. According to the day of the year, the temperature and humidity index was determined as a function of the climatic variables. Therefore, the day of the year was the input variable of the neural networks, and the temperature and humidity index (THI) was the output variable. The number of layers and neurons used for establishing different architectures was variable. Data were adjusted on the basis of mean square errors, performance and efficiency indexes, and normality tests. The values estimated by the networks and those obtained from the historical series did not differ significantly. The networks with the best performance were selected for graphical analysis of residuals. The ANNs developed in this study predicted animal thermal comfort with adequate reliability and precision.

title: In search of the (im)possible relationship: between literary education and arts education

description: ABSTRACT This study deals with the relationship between children's literature and artistic expressions; between literary education and arts education. The main objectives of the study were: knowing authors, illustrators and children’s literature texts; promoting the literary reader training; promoting, in children, the relation between literature and artistic expressions; promoting the cultural and artistic training of children. For this study we called the action-research methodology and the study was developed with children who attended the 2nd year of primary school. The results of this study allowed us to conclude that a work that relates, in school, children's literature and artistic expressions gives children pleasure in reading; stimulates imagination and creativity; develops the construction of a critical reader; makes possible the establishment of relations between the literary text, the illustrations and the artistic expressions.

title: Preliminary results from Brazil's first recovery housing program

description: Abstract Introduction: The recovery housing (RH) program was initiated in São Paulo with the objective of providing treatment for substance use disorders and addressing users’ housing and employment problems. The purpose of this study was to describe the model based on its first 11 months of operation, it was launched in June 2016 in Brazil. Method: We carried out a retrospective analysis of the records of all subjects treated in the RH of the Restart Program (Programa Recomeço) since its creation, from June 2016 to May 2017. Results: Sixty-nine subjects were included. Thirty-five (51%) remained in the household until the end of treatment or were reinserted in society. Thirty-four (49%) presented recurrence during their stay, of which 16 (47%) volunteered for treatment in a therapeutic community or psychiatric hospital, 8 (23.5%) chose to continue with outpatient treatment only, 6 (17.7%) returned to their families and continued to receive outpatient treatment, and 4 (11.8%) discontinued the treatment. Of the 35 subjects who completed the RH program, 28 (80%) were in employment and 7 (20%) received governmental support for permanent disability on medical or psychiatric grounds. Conclusion: RH can be an important component of integrated care and is used in several countries. Although controversial, the use of urine tests to control relapse seems to have a positive impact on adherence to treatment and maintenance of abstinence. These preliminary findings corroborate, with clear limitations, the evidence available in the literature showing that RH programs are effective for the treatment of addictions.

title: Characterization of Hilly Chickens in Consideration of Climate Change Factors: Light and Heat

description: ABSTRACT Hilly chickens were characterized from January 2015 to September 2016 considering climate factors (light and heat). The experimental birds were divided into three groups (heat stress; light and control). The heat was generated in the chicken’s shelter by a black shaded light (Lantern) for two to three hours more after sunset. A lighting device (Lantern) was kept in the chicken’s shelter for the same period for increasing daylight duration. The individual chicken’s egg production, egg weight and mature live weight were studied from onset of egg production. It was observed that reddish brown hilly type chicken produced more (100.80 no/year/chicken) and larger sized (43.21g) eggs than spotted chicken (83.4 no/year/chicken and 40.46g). Among the three treatments, the lighting group produced 7.71 and 5.60 more eggs than the control and heat stress group, and one hour lighting lengths increased egg production 4 to 5.8%. Fifty-five blood samples were collected, and DNA was isolated from whole blood. For genetic characterization, 10 microsatellites markers from FAO recommendation list were used in this study. PCR amplification was performed in an MJ PTC-200 Peltier Thermal Cycler. The gene flow among breeds and genetic differentiation was assessed by computing between-breed genetic parameters: molecular co-ancestry (fij). It was found that genetic diversity of these two types of chickens was moderate. Results indicated that they were originated from the same ancestor. Therefore, priority should be given for implementation of appropriate breeding programme and strategies are necessary to avoid loss of genetic diversity.

title: Effect of Oxidized Soybean Oils on Oxidative Status and Intestinal Barrier Function in Broiler Chickens

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of oxidized soybean oils on the growth performance, metabolic oxidative status and intestinal barrier function of broiler chickens. A total of 240 one-day-old female broiler chickens were assigned to four dietary treatments with six replicates (cages) of 10 birds each. The dietary treatments comprised of a basal diet supplemented with 4% of: non-oxidized (fresh) soybean oil (control treatment, SNX); lowly-oxidized soybean oil (SLX) (oil heated for 10h at 200°C); moderately-oxidized soybean oil (SMX) (oil heated for 18h at 200°C); or highly-oxidized soybean oil (SHX) (oil heated for 30h at 200°C). Diets and water were offered ad libitum. The experiment was lasted 21d.The growth performance of broilers, determined from 1 to 14 d and from 1 to 21 d of age, was not affected by the dietary treatments (p&gt;0.05). Broilers fed oxidized soybean oils presented higher corticosterone serum levels compared with those fed non-oxidized oil (p&lt;0.05). Higher malondialdehyde (MDA) levels onday14 and 21 (p&lt;0.05), and lower total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and totalsuperoxide dismutase (T-SOD) values on day 21were obtained in the liver of broiler fed oxidized oils relative to those fed the non-oxidized oil (p&lt;0.05). Broilers fed the highly-oxidized soybean oil had higher (p&lt;0.05) MDA levels in the jejunum on day 21 compared with those fed non-oxidized soybean oil. Chickens fed moderately- and highly-oxidized soybean oil presented lower (p&lt;0.05) T-SOD activity inileal mucosa compared with those fed non-oxidized soybean oil. Ileal mRNA expression of claudin-1 tended to be down regulated by the dietary addition of oxidized oils (p=0.056). The mRNA expression of interleukin-22 (IL-22) of broilers fed moderately-oxidized and highly-oxidized soybean oil was higher (p&lt;0.05), and the mRNA expression of occludin and catalase was lower (p&lt;0.05) than those fed non-oxidized soybean oil. However, the morphology of the jejunal and ileal mucosa was not influenced (p&gt;0.05) by the dietary oxidized oil treatments. It was concluded that oxidized oils may cause oxidative stress by reducing intestinal and liver antioxidant capacity; increase intestinal permeability by reducing mRNA expression levels of tight-junction proteins claudin-1 and occludin; and cause inflammation by increasing mRNA expression level of the inflammation-related factor IL-22.

title: Soil column test to study the influence of dimension stone fine wastes on water quality

description: ABSTRACT The generation of fine wastes from cutting of ornamental stones grows at the same rate of plate production for civil construction. The adoption of safe, remediating and punitive measures are linked to the knowledge of the actual potentiality that these materials have for causing negative impacts to the environment. The aim of this work was to simulate, in laboratory, possible alterations in the recharging groundwater quality provoked by the improper disposal of these wastes. We conducted tests of percolating water through soil columns covered by wastes with different humidity rates: wastes without treatment, outgoing directly from the looms (TE); wastes that passed by filter press for humidity reducing (FP) and wastes dried in a drying pond (LS). Percolated water was analyzed to evaluate alterations of its quality in relation to a blank (B) or control. Significant changes did not occur in pH-values of percolated water in any of the cases studied. However, many water quality parameters were changed during TE treatment. The water percolated through FP residues was similar to that of the looms in relation to some parameters and with the LS wastes, in others. We concluded that the wastes that just left the loom have high potential for changing water quality, but the reduction of waste´s humidity is efficient for minimizing environmental risks. The use of drying bed could be as efficient as the filter press, if conducted in a proper form and according to legal regulations.

title: The Effects of Licorice (Glycyrrhriza glabra) Root on Performance, Some Serum Parameters and Antioxidant Capacity of Laying Hens

description: ABSTRACT The current study was conducted to determine the effects of the licorice root (Glycyrrhriza glabra) in laying hens diets on performance, egg cholesterol, some plasma parameters and antioxidant capacity. One hundred, 40-week old laying hens were divided into four groups, each group consisted of 25 hens and were placed in individual cages. The mean of the initial body weight of laying hens was 1829.18±9.595 g. Commercial laying hen diet was supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% levels of licorice root powder and four different dietary groups were formed. From the experimental findings, it was ascertained that the licorice root supplementation had no significant effect on egg weight and feed conversion ratio (p&gt;0.05), but feed consumption decreased with increasing licorice root (p&lt;0.05).Egg yield was recorded as 88.94%, 89.56%, 86.82% and 85.02% in the groups of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0, respectively (p&lt;0.05).Plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) and egg yolk cholesterol level decreased with the addition of licorice root, while plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) level was increased with licorice root addition (p&lt;0.05). Licorice root addition had a positive effect on total antioxidant capacity (TAS) of plasma. It was determined that the total antioxidant capacity was increased by increasing amount of licorice root. From the overall findings, it can be concluded that licorice root could be used as a feed additive without any adverse effect on performance. It has been demonstrated that the licorice root enables the production of functional eggs.

title: The Antonio Gramsci’s writings and works of his interpreters in theses and dissertations on educational policies (2000-2010)

description: ABSTRACT In this article, we analyze the Antonio Gramsci’s bibliography and his interpreters mobilized by graduate students who adopted the author's thinking in his works. Thirty-two theses and dissertations were selected in postgraduate programs in education in the period 2000-2010, whose abstracts indicate the presence of Gramsci in the theoretical reference that was used. Documentary and bibliographical research was carried out with the objective of mapping the writings of Gramsci and of interpreters of his thought mentioned in the course of the text and in the references. It was found that the postgraduate students, for the understanding of Gramsci's thought, supported themselves in the work of the author himself and that of his intérpreters. With regard to Gramsci's writings, the authors of the analyzed works cited both the thematic edition and the 1990 edition of the Prison Notebooks. The texts Dialectical conception of history and The intellectuals and the organization of culture, from thematic edition, were the two most cited texts. Among the interpreters, the most mentioned was Carlos Nelson Coutinho. It was concluded that the presence of Gramsci's ideas and concepts in works on educational policies must be accompanied by careful attention to the bibliographic reference of the author and on the author, and that it is important, given the limits of the thematic edition, that the Gramsci's thought be studied based on the edition of the 1990s or in the Italian critical edition.
