title: ORBITAL REMOTE SENSING FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF AREAS IRRIGATED WITH A CENTRAL PIVOT SYSTEM

description: ABSTRACT Irrigated agriculture is considered one of the most important techniques for agricultural production in the world, despite being the sector that uses water resources the most. Thus, technological advances have been constantly developed and applied in the sector as a way to improve water management and reduce its consumption, considering that some cultures are affected by economic costs and feasibilities of production, because the water cost has increased significantly in recent years. Remote sensing is a technology that has provided good results for estimating evapotranspiration (ETr) in producing areas, enabling more efficient irrigation management for low costs. This study aimed to answer the question about how the generation of irrigation management zones (IMZs) can be used to optimize water use and improve irrigation systems and which ETr models are better for it. Three ETr estimation models (Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land [SEBAL], Mapping Evapotranspiration at High Resolution and with Internalized Calibration [METRIC] and Simple Algorithm for Evapotranspiration Retrieving [SAFER]) were used to design IMZs in center pivot cultivated with cotton. The design of IMZs with ETr data proved to be a viable alternative, making it possible to improve water management in irrigated systems, reducing costs with viability irrigation for cotton and others cultures. The METRIC method displayed the greatest ease in obtaining the data used in the ETr estimation for generating the IMZs.

title: A Legitimate Discourse Based on What Has Been Read and Experienced: Notes on a French Traveler in the Contours of South America (17th century)

description: Abstract Te descriptions of America made by the young engineer François Froger in his Relation d’un voyage fait en 1695, 1696 et 1697 aux côtes d’Afrique, détroit de Magellan, Brésil, Cayenne et isles Antilles, par une escadre des vaisseaux du roy, commandée par M. De Gennes (1698) are a valuable testimony of his on-the-ground observations as well as of the influence exerted by previous travel accounts to the region. In principle, they reveal how, towards the end of the 17th century, navigation along the coasts of South America and the Caribbean became a concrete French expansion policy. At the same time, they show the multiplicity of representations established around a historically constituted space and, at the same time, in constant transformation. With special emphasis on the epistemological status of the text and its context of production, the article examines the processes of adaptation, translation and appropriation by which Froger articulates various domains of knowledge (geography, ethnography, etc.) about the visited areas. In this sense, the article examines the rhetoric and visual resources used by both the French engineer and his editor to validate the account and, in consequence, to present Froger as a learned traveler.

title: Study of the fibrinolytic activity of serrapeptase and its in vitro thrombolytic effects

description: Abstract Serrapeptase, a proteolytic enzyme, has been used for the adjuvant treatment of many diseases. However, its fibrinolytic activity is still uncertain. Herein, the fibrinolytic activity of serrapeptase and its in vitro thrombolytic effects were investigated. The results showed that the fibrinolytic activity of serrapeptase was 1295 U/mg, and the specific activity was 3867 U/mg of protein when its proteolytic activity toward casein was 2800 U/mg. The optimum temperature and pH for serrapeptase activity were 37-40°C and 9.0, respectively. At 1 mmol/L, Zn2+, Mn2+ and Fe2+ could activate the fibrinolytic activity of serrapeptase, while K+, Cu2+, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) inhibited it. In vitro tests showed that serrapeptase could completely prevent blood coagulation at 150 U/mL, and the percentage of blood clot lysis reached 96.6% at 37°C after 4 h at 300 U/mL. These results indicate that serrapeptase has excellent fibrinolytic activity, and can be used as a health food or candidate drug for the prevention or treatment of thrombotic diseases.

title: Dynamics of nuclear and cytoplasm maturation of bovine oocytes cultivated in vitro in medium supplemented with fulerol

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to evaluate, in vitro, the dynamics of nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of bovine oocytes in traditional IVM medium (CT) and supplemented with fullerol (MF50), for 36 hours. The nuclear maturation of CT (n=300) and MF50 (n=270) every 6 hours, stained with Hoechst33342 and cytoplasmic, the mitochondrial distribution of CT (n=197) and MF50 (n=159) at every 12 hours, stained with Mitotracker Orange. At 6 hours, CT oocytes (19%) were in MI (metaphase I), while in MF50 they were in GV (germ vesicle) or GVB (GV breakeage), repeating at 12 hours. At 18 hours, 46.3% were matured in CT, and 20% in MF50. At 24 hours, 43.9% of maturation was observed in the MF50 group, and 63.8% in the CT. At 30 and 36 hours, the maturation pattern was stable, but with the onset of oocyte degeneration. There was a delay in cytoplasmic maturation with 36 hours (P&lt;0.05) in MF50 (53.9% of mature gametes), compared to CT (69.8%). With immature cytoplasm, they were 10.4% and 31.7% for CT and MF50 (P&lt;0.05), respectively. It was concluded that fullerol possibly interfered in the expansion of cumulus oophorus cells, as well as delayed the meiotic progression and cytoplasmic maturation.

title: Anesthetic and sedative effects of plant-derived essential oils on red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) at different concentrations and temperatures

description: Abstract Limited studies have been conducted on the use of anesthetic agents during handling, cooking, and transportation of crayfish species. This study was carried out to evaluate the anesthetic effects of clove (Syzygium aromaticum), spearmint (Mentha spicata) and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) essential oils on red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852)) at temperatures of 17 and 23 °C. The study was performed in 10 L plastic containers filled with 3 L of dechlorinated freshwater to determine induction and recovery times and stages under laboratory conditions. Five concentrations (200, 350, 500, 750, and 1000 µL/L) of essential oils were used. This study found that the induction time at 1000 µL/L was significantly lower than 200 and 350 µL/L at 17 °C (p &lt; 0.05) and there was no statistical difference between the five concentrations at 23 °C (p &lt; 0.05). Recovery at 1000 µL/L was markedly higher than 200, 350, and 500 µL/L at 23 °C (p &lt; 0.05). Red swamp crayfish exposed to clove oil reached Stage 6, which is identified as a total loss of equilibrium, using 1000 µL/L at both temperatures. For spearmint oil, induction time at 1000 µL/L was significantly lower than 200, 350, and 500 µL/L at 17 °C, induction time at 200 µL/L was the highest at 23 °C (p &lt; 0.05), and Stage 5 (partial loss of equilibrium) was recorded as the maximum stage reached. Recovery time at 1000 µL/L was the highest at 17 °C, and recovery at 200 and 300 µL/L were lower than 750 and 1000 µL/L at 23 °C (p &lt; 0.05). No significant differences were recorded in the induction and recovery times of chamomile oil for all the concentrations at both 17 and 23 °C (p &gt; 0.05) and the crayfish reached a maximum of Stage 3 (deep sedation) at 1000 µL/L at 23 °C. Overall, clove and spearmint essential oils were proven to be the most successful at providing effective anesthesia to the red swamp crayfish. However, the length of induction and recovery times may be a disadvantage for some procedures. In addition, it has been revealed that chamomile oil may have only a sedative effect and is therefore unsuitable to be used as an anesthetic.

title: Gestational age, intrauterine growth and body composition at 11 years of age

description: ABSTRACT OBJETIVE To assess the association of gestational age (GA) and intrauterine growth with body composition at 11 years of age. METHOD Analysis of data from the 2004 Pelotas birth cohort, whose outcomes were fat mass (FM, kg), fat mass index (FMI, kg/m2), fat-free mass (FFM, kg), fat-free mass index (FFMI, kg/m2) – measured by air displacement plethysmography – and body mass index for age (BMI/age, Z-score). The exposures of interest were the gestational index (GA) of infants born at less than 33 weeks, from 34 to 36 and from 37 to 41, and intrauterine growth categorized as small (SGA), adequate (AGA) and large (LGA) for gestational age. Analysis of variance was used to compare means and linear regression was used to assess the strength of association. The analyses were adjusted according to variables collected at birth, such as monthly family income, maternal characteristics – education, age, pre-gestational body mass index (BMI), weight gain during pregnancy, smoking during pregnancy, type of delivery, and parity – and adolescent characteristics – skin color and birth weight. For analysis, FM and FMI underwent logarithmic transformation due to data asymmetry. RESULTS A total of 3,401 adolescents were analyzed, including boys and girls born at less than 33 weeks, with lower FM and FFM means than those born at term. However, in the adjusted analyses, there was no association between GA and any of the outcomes in either sex. LGA boys had a 10.5% higher FMI (p = 0.026) and +0.3 BMI/age Z-score (p = 0.019) as compared to AGA boys, and LGA girls had +0.3 kg/m 2 of FFMI (p = 0.039) than AGA girls. CONCLUSION GA was not associated with body composition at 11 years of age. However, LGA boys had higher BMI and BMI/age Z-score, and LGA girls had higher FFMI than AGA girls.

title: Conventional versus flap-protected free gingival graft: a multicenter randomized clinical trial

description: Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of a modified gingival graft technique, in which the released flap is positioned and sutured over the graft, with the conventional free gingival graft (FGG) procedure, when both are used for gingival augmentation. A 12-month, multicenter parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted. Subjects with buccal RT2 gingival recessions and keratinized tissue width (KTW) &lt; 2 mm in at least one mandibular incisor were randomized to control group (n = 20; conventional FGG) or test group (n = 20; modified FGG; flap sutured over FGG using sling sutures). The primary outcome (KTW) was measured at baseline and after 3, 6 and 12 months, as was keratinized tissue thickness (KTT). Postoperative pain (POP) and analgesic intake were also recorded. Both techniques promoted a significant increase in KTW and KTT when compared to baseline (p &lt; 0.05) with no significant differences between groups (KTW change of 6.1±1.5 mm and 5.4±1.6 mm, for control and test, respectively; p=0.16). However, test group patients reported less POP after 7 days and used less analgesic medication than control group patients (p &lt; 0.05). We concluded that the modified FGG was comparable to conventional FGG in augmenting keratinized tissue width and thickness at mandibular incisors, but resulted in less patient morbidity.

title: Teaching undergraduate students’ perceptions of Philosophy, its teaching and the experience of Supervised Curricular Internship

description: ABSTRACT This paper addresses the perceptions about Philosophy, its teaching and the experience of the Supervised Curricular Internship from the perspective of teaching undergraduate students of a Philosophy course at a public university in Paraná, Brazil. Having as research subjects students enrolled in the last two years of the course (3rd and 4th), data were collected through a questionnaire applied to 46 participants, in addition to interviews with 37 subjects. The methodology for data analysis was the discursive textual analysis, from which emerged the elementary signifiers that characterized the answers given, which were coded according to the presence or absence of each of the signifiers associated with the questions. Then, the cluster analysis was performed, in which the subjects were grouped by similarity, according to the similarities in the responses to the questionnaire. The results of the four clusters allowed us to point out that teaching Philosophy as a philosophical experience is of great importance in the context of teaching the discipline and that the Supervised Internship is a particular moment in the life of the teaching undergraduate students, which contributes to the development of their integral education.
