title: Urochloa ruziziensis Desiccation, Straw Quantity and Position on Nodulation and Production of Soybean ‘M-SOY 7908 RR’

description: ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the quantity and soil position of Urochloa ruziziensis straw desiccated with glyphosate for different periods of time on ‘M-SOY 7908 RR’ soybean nodulation, growth and production characteristics. Three experiments were conducted under semi-controlled conditions. In the first, three quantities of U. ruziziensis straw (2.5, 5.0 and 10 ton ha-1) previously desiccated with glyphosate were incorporated into the soil (10 cm deep) or deposited on the soil surface, and in the second experiment, the treatments consisted of three U. ruziziensis desiccation periods, 0, 7 and 12 days before soybean sowing, and one treatment without U. ruziziensis. In the third treatment, desiccation was performed at 0, 5 and 10 days before soybean sowing, and the desiccated plant shoots were removed or left in place before soybean sowing. For each of the experiments, a completely randomized experimental design was adopted, and the masses of the shoot and root dry matter, the degree of nodulation and soybean production were evaluated. The deposition of U. ruziziensis straw on the soil surface promoted the nodulation and growth of ‘M-SOY 7908 RR’ soybean plant shoots, while its incorporation into the soil, even at 2.5 ton ha-1, caused deleterious effects. Desiccation of U. ruziziensis from 0 to 7 days before sowing was also detrimental to the nodulation and growth of M-SOY 7908 RR soybean, reducing its productivity.

title: Updating the role of matrix metalloproteinases in mineralized tissue and related diseases

description: Abstract Bone development and healing processes involve a complex cascade of biological events requiring well-orchestrated synergism with bone cells, growth factors, and other trophic signaling molecules and cellular structures. Beyond health processes, MMPs play several key roles in the installation of heart and blood vessel related diseases and cancer, ranging from accelerating metastatic cells to ectopic vascular mineralization by smooth muscle cells in complementary manner. The tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) have an important role in controlling proteolysis. Paired with the post-transcriptional efficiency of specific miRNAs, they modulate MMP performance. If druggable, these molecules are suggested to be a platform for development of “smart” medications and further clinical trials. Thus, considering the pleiotropic effect of MMPs on mammals, the purpose of this review is to update the role of those multifaceted proteases in mineralized tissues in health, such as bone, and pathophysiological disorders, such as ectopic vascular calcification and cancer.

title: Arctiini Leach, [1815] (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae) of the Brazilian Amazon. IV - Subtribe Euchromiina Butler, 1876

description: Abstract: The Euchromiina moths comprise 735 species in the neotropics. Here we provide a list of Euchromiina species from the Brazilian Amazon. The list was produced from specimens deposited in the most important Brazilian collections and from literature data. Nearly 30% (219) of the neotropics Euchromiina species were recorded, including 13 new occurrences for the Brazilian Amazon. Santarém and Belém were the municipalities with the highest number of species records, with 96 and 74, respectively. Although the number of Euchromiina records is high in the Amazon, this value is underestimated because the fauna was never sampled in the vast majority of the biome. This is a worrying scenario because the Amazon has the world highest absolute rate of forest reduction. In order to suggest efficient conservation policies for the Amazon Arctiinae fauna, it is urgent to intensify the sampling effort in this biome.

title: Development of a word accentuation test for predicting cognitive performance in Portuguese-speaking populations

description: ABSTRACT The Word Accentuation Test (WAT) has been used to predict premorbid intelligence and cognitive performance in Spanish-speaking populations. It requires participants to read a list of words without the accent marks that indicate the stressed syllable. Objective: As Portuguese pronunciation is also strongly based on accent marks, our aim was to develop a Brazilian version of the WAT. Methods: An initial pool of 60 items was constructed and a final version of 40 items (named WAT-Br) was derived by item response theory. A sample of 206 older adults underwent the WAT-Br and a standardized neuropsychological battery. Independent ratings were performed by two observers in 58 random participants. Results: The items showed moderate to high discrimination (α between 0.93 and 25.04) and spanned a wide range of difficulty (β between −2.07 and 1.40). The WAT-Br was shown to have an excellent internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 = 0.95) and inter-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.92). It accounted for 61% of the variance in global cognitive performance. Conclusion: A version of the WAT for Portuguese-speaking populations was developed and proved to be a valuable tool for estimating cognitive performance.

title: Endophytic fungi from Brachiaria grasses in Brazil and preliminary screening of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum antagonists

description: ABSTRACT: Fungal endophytes of Brachiaria, a nonhost of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, may harbor species with antagonistic effects against this plant pathogen. The objective of this work was to investigate the diversity of endophytic fungi associated with different Brachiaria species and hybrids and evaluate their potential to inhibit the plant pathogen S. sclerotiorum. Stem samples from 39 Brachiaria spp. plants were collected in pasture fields and experimental areas of three states of Brazil resulting in 74 endophytes isolated. Twenty-eight species were identified by sequences of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and 18S rDNA regions. Paraconiothyrium sp. was the most abundant endophyte, accounting for 24 % (14 isolates) of total, and it was isolated from B. ruziziensis, B. decumbens, B. humidicola, and B. brizantha. Phoma sorghina was the second most abundant taxon, followed by Sarocladium strictum, and Plenodomus sp. In vitro analyses showed that Paraconiothyrium sp., Sarocladium kiliense, Acremonium curvulum, Setophoma terrestris, Dissoconium sp., and Cladosporium flabelliforme exhibited antagonistic activity against S. sclerotiorum, with percentages of growth inhibition ranging from 25 to 60 (p &lt; 0.05). Paraconiothyrium sp. BBXE1 (60 %), BBPB4.1 (60 %), BCMT4.1 (54 %), and S. kiliense (54 %) showed the highest values of Antagonism Percentages (AP). Therefore, fungi with inhibitory activity against S. sclerotiorum such as Paraconiothyrium sp. are naturally endophytic in Brachiaria grasses.

title: Why from Didactics the teacher’s education is not favored?

description: Abstract This essay could also have been titled: “What if teacher training was radically disoriented?” It is part of other broader question: “What if our education and Pedagogy were radically wrong?”. In its content, the authors’ arguments are presented with the aim of expressing possible insufficiencies of teacher training and, therefore, of Didactics, as a science of formation by antonomasia. It is presented the possibility that it prevailed in education and training a general bias towards the outside and consequently a deficit of radical attention, and it is an imperative refocusing completely the teacher training. In the following lines they are condensed over two decades of observations in this regard. From a methodological perspective it will proceed with a dialectical and hermeneutical orientation supported by the “radical and inclusive training approach”, from which critical arguments with a constructive purpose will be offered. After responding to the target, the work offers an alternative model of training, bringing in new development to pedagogical knowledge in a relevant subject for researchers and teaching professionals.

title: Can the positions of the spastic upper limb in stroke survivors help muscle choice for botulinum toxin injections?

description: ABSTRACT Motor impairments in stroke survivors are prevalent and contribute to dependence in daily activities, pain and overall disability, which can further upper-limb disability. Treatment with botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) is indicated for focal spasticity and requires knowledge of biomechanics and anatomy to best select muscles to be injected in the limb. Objective: We aimed to describe the frequency of posture patterns in a Brazilian sample of stroke survivors and correlate them with recommendations of muscle selection for treatment with BoNT-A. Methods: Fifty stroke patients with spastic upper limbs scheduled for neuromuscular block were photographed and physically examined, to be classified by three independent evaluators according to Hefter's classification. Muscles that were injected with BoNT-A by their routine doctors were retrieved from medical charts. Results: Pattern III and IV were the most common (64.7%, 21.6%). We further subclassified pattern III according to the rotation of the shoulder, which effectively interfered in muscle choice. The muscles most frequently treated were shoulder adductors and internal rotators, elbow flexors and extensors, in forearm, the pronator teres and finger and wrist flexors, and, in the hand the adductor pollicis. Conclusion: Frequencies of upper-limb postures differed from previous reports. Other clinical features, besides spasticity, interfered with muscle choice for BoNT-A injection, which only partially followed the recommendations in the literature.

title: Influence of soil compaction on the production and potential pollution of leachate of urban solid waste

description: ABSTRACT In Brazil, the final disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) represents an environmental risk due to the generation of leachate with high contaminant loads, even in landfills. The aim of the present study, in experimental scale, was to evaluate the influence of different degrees of compaction (DC) of the intermediate layers and final coverage of MSW on the reduction of the production and pollution potential of leachate. MSW were collected at previously selected sites at Lavras, Minas Gerais, due to the prevalence of social class. These residues were gravimetrically analyzed and deposited within experimental cells, alternating MSW layers and compacted soil in different DC. In the cells, water depths were applied and the effluent collected, quantified and subjected to physical and chemical analysis during trial period. There was a mean reduction of 35% in the leachate production in the cells where DC were equal to 100%. DC’s increase produced significant increases in the concentrations of alkalinity, total solids (TS) and total volatile solids, and significant reductions in chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phosphorus concentrations. Reductions in load close to 57, 35, 59, 42 and 62%, relative to the parameters TS, COD, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia-N and P, respectively.

title: Effect of temperature on drying kinetic in foam mat and anthocyanin degradation in strawberry

description: Abstract The strawberry is a fruit widely consumed throughout the world and of great nutritional wealth, being used as an ingredient in the elaboration of a variety of products. However, it is a highly perishable fruit, requiring technologies to increase its useful life. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the drying kinetics and the effect of temperature on the total anthocyanin content of the strawberry. Thus, strawberry pulp was obtained and destined for the analysis of the total anthocyanin and moisture contents. 1% albumin was added to the pulp and subjected to beating to produce a foam. The foam was placed in trays in a convective dryer at temperatures of 55, 60, 65, 70 and 75 °C, to constant weight. The Henderson and Pabis, Lewis and Page models were fitted to the moisture ratio data and the generalized model of the moisture ratio as a function of temperature and drying time constructed. The total anthocyanin and moisture contents of the powders were determined. The Page model was chosen to represent the drying kinetics of the strawberry pulp, since it presented the highest value for the adjusted coefficient of determination and the lowest standard error of the regression. The generalized model obtained was satisfactory to predict the moisture ratio of the strawberry pulp, presenting an R2 of 0.98. The total anthocyanin content of the fresh pulp was 235.03 mg / 100 g and reduced by approximately 50% for all the temperatures evaluated.
