title: GENETIC DIVERSITY AMONG BITTER MELON GENOTYPES ASSESSED THROUGH MORPHO-AGRONOMIC VARIABLES

description: ABSTRACT Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is a plant species recommended by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa) as hypoglycemiant. The characterization of plants is an essential step in any breeding program. The objective of the present work was to organize and characterize a bitter melon germplasm collection, based on morpho-agronomic characters, to assess its genetic diversity and identify genotypes of agronomic interest. Eighty-eight genotypes were characterized for 38 descriptors. Redundant descriptors were identified through Principal Component Analysis (PCA); after their exclusions, a new PCA was carried out to verify the dispersion among the genotypes. Groups in the PCA were defined using the kmeans clustering method. The groups were studied for phenotype pattern using radar chart. Populational diversity was estimated through Shannon and Pielou indexes. Intra group diversity was estimated through analysis of similarity (anosim). The relative importance of variables for diversity was also estimated. Seventeen variables were redundant. The genotypes were grouped into 5 groups. Groups G1 and G5 were antagonist regarding fruit and seed productions and fruit, leaf, and seed sizes. A trend of decrease in fruit, leaf, and seed sizes was found in groups from G1 to G5. The diversity was high. Intra group diversity was high among small fruit genotypes, and low for medium-sized fruit genotypes. The variable number of male flowers (NMFL) was identified as that presented the greatest contribution to estimation of diversity. The genotypes UFRRJ MSC072, 042, 028, and 087 stood out with the highest number of fruits produced.

title: Communication of bad news in the medical work: a look at the patient with poor prognosis

description: Abstract The communication process is central to the doctor-patient relationship. It is a fact that to avoid dysthanasia, palliative care must be available as an alternative. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the quality of bad news communication performed by physicians from the perspective of patients in the process of finitude, comparing their rates between those in palliative care and those in dysthanasia. A quantitative research was carried out, with a non-probabilistic sample, made up of 234 cancer patients in the process of dying, coming from five hospital units in the state of Ceará, Brazil, who answered two questionnaires-one biodemographic and the other assessing communication, analyzed by means of descriptive and bivariate statistics. The results demonstrated the importance of the doctor-patient relationship. While dysthanasia patients expressed that they were better prepared for establishing adequate communication, those in palliative care reported a less negative experience regarding “communicating bad news”-the result of adequate preparation by the palliative care physician as well as effective family participation in the therapeutic decision. It is concluded that the steps of preparation for communication, transmission of information, reception and closure should be based on identifying the patients’ prior content about the disease and their expectations of information.

title: Recommendations and best practices for incorporating safety monitoring with drones into safety planning and control at construction sites

description: Abstract The use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or drones for safety management at construction sites is notable for reducing inspection time and improving risk identification. However, there are still gaps in the way of an effective use of the information provided by this technology in Safety Planning and Control (SPC). This study aimed to propose recommendations and best practices for incorporating safety monitoring with UAS for the continuous improvement of SPC. The research strategy adopted was a case study, involving 22 inspections with drones and best practice implementations in monthly and weekly cycles. This implementation improved the quality of safety planning, increased the interaction between the production and safety teams, monitored the action plans for managing non-conformities, and disseminated the results of inspections with a focus on workers through visual panels and Daily Safety Dialogues. This study provides a better understanding of safety monitoring with UAS for the continuous improvement of safety management, increasing interaction between safety and production teams, and improving decision-making.

title: On the concept of risk in Epidemiology

description: Abstract This theoretical paper analyzes the centrality of the concept of risk for epidemiological science, describing the types of risk measures and their definitions, the origin and historical development of these measures from de 17th century to the present time. Next, the phases of the historical development of the concept of risk are analyzed, from the constitution of the discipline in the 19th century, through the crossing of the threshold of scientificity, until today. After this historical review, the epistemological assumptions of the concept of risk as it is presented in epidemiology are pointed out. The polysemy of the concept in common sense knowledge and its formulation in different scientific disciplines, as well as its different connotations within the scope of epidemiology, are briefly commented on. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the concept in the so-called risk society of late modernity. We believe that this paper can be useful in the formation of health professionals, in view of its core role in epidemiology and Collective Health, not only as an articulator of theoretical propositions, but also in the orientation of practices.

title: Dormancy and evaluation of the physical-physiological quality in sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] seeds by image analysis

description: Abstract: For the germination of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) seeds to occur, it is necessary to overcome dormancy, which makes it difficult to assess their physiological potential. The aim of this research was to define a methodology to overcome the dormancy of sweet potato seeds and use image analysis to determine their physical and physiological quality. Four genotypes of sweet potato seeds were used, namely UFVJM-5, UFVJM-22, UFVJM-38 and UFVJM-65. To overcome dormancy, chemical scarification with 98% H2SO4 for 10 and 20 minutes, hot water at 95 °C for 10 and 20 minutes, and mechanical scarification with electric grinder were tested. To evaluate the physical quality, the seeds were analyzed with X-rays and classified as intact, empty and malformed seeds. Using the GroundEye® system, the characteristics of color dominance, seed geometry and seedling length were quantified. Treatments with mechanical scarification with grinder and 98% sulfuric acid, for an immersion period of 20 minutes, are efficient to break dormancy in sweet potato seeds. There are genetic divergences between sweet potato genotypes, promoting the formation of different groups. The characteristics of color and geometry of the seeds are the ones that most contribute to genetic diversity of genotypes.

title: Incorporationof GFRP in interlockingfloors: an ecologicalsolutionforindustrialwaste

description: Abstract The use of polymers in industry is expanding, especially glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP). The production process of GFPR parts generates significant amounts of waste, which then needs to be disposed of in industrial landfills, which both generates financial costs for the industrial sector and constitutes an environmental problem. The search for solutions that incorporate the waste either in the process or as a substitute for raw materials is one of the current concerns of research into materials. This study evaluates the application of GFRP waste in concrete mixtures for the production of interlocking pavers. The waste presented fine aggregate granulometry, with a fineness modulus of 1.71. The morphology revealed a heterogenous surface, with granules of different sizes and smooth and elongated stems. The partial replacement of sand by GFRP residue (5%, 10% and 15%) resulted in pavers with lower compressive strength (&lt; 31 MPa) when compared to the control specimens without GFRP, however, the strength results allow the application of pavers in places with light traffic or on sidewalks, with the advantage that these pavers are lighter.

title: The gelling properties of Dillenia indica mucilage in benzyl benzoate emulgel formulations

description: Abstract The objective of the study was to evaluate the gelling properties of Dillenia indica mucilage in benzyl benzoate emulgel formulation. Mucilage was extracted from the fruits of Dillenia indica using established methods and characterized by rheology and swelling. Emulsion (F1) was prepared using the continental emulsification method. Gelling agents (2 %w /v) were prepared by dispersing in distilled water with constant stirring at a moderate speed using a magnetic stirrer. F1 was added to the gel (0-75 %w /w) to obtain emulgel formulations and evaluated using viscosity, globule size, pH, release profiles and kinetic modeling. Data were expressed as mean ± SD, and similarity factor (f2) was used to compare all formulations. Formulation viscosity was significantly higher with carbopol than with Dillenia; globule sizes increased with concentration of gelling agents, and pH reduced as the concentration of Dillenia increased. All formulations showed controlled release properties with t80 ranging between 114 and 660 min. The release was governed by Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Formulation F5 prepared with 50 % Dillenia showed highest similarity to F4 prepared with 75 %w /w carbopol. Dillenia indica demonstrated acceptable gelling properties comparable with that of carbopol and could be improved for use in emulgel formulations.

title: Experimental study of the noise effects of mini fans in collective study rooms

description: Abstract Study rooms are collective open-plan spaces with several workstations, either separated or not separated by partitions. This study analyses the interference in speech intelligibility and the conditions of acoustic comfort in collective study rooms caused by the noise produced by desk mini fans (plastic and metal) and air conditioning (split and window units). Six collective study rooms were evaluated in 11 configurations, varying the use of cooling equipment, through the NC and RC Mark II noise curves, reverberation time (TR), early decay time (EDT), speech transmission index (STI) and definition (D 50 ). The noise curve results show that all situations with the mini fans met the NC40 (45 dB) standard for collective offices, which did not occur with the use of air conditioning units. The study room configurations with that cooling equipment presented RC Mark II curves with hissy characteristic (unbalanced spectrum at high frequency). In addition, the physical conditions of the room, especially the small area of sound absorption, generated acoustic parameter values considered inappropriate for collective study activities, with the rooms with the highest volume having the worst results.
