title: Production diversification and commercialization of family farmers settled of Mirandópolis (SP): contributions of the Food Acquisition Program

description: Abstract The Food Acquisition Program (PAA) aims to ensure food in quantity and quality for people in food insecurity situation, as well as to encourage the production and commercialization of the products from family farms. In this paper, the effects of the PAA were analyzed in relation to crop production, commercialization and income of the settled family farmers who participated in this program, in the Purchase for Simultaneous Donation modality, in Mirandópolis (SP), based on the view of these farmers. The methodology was based on the application of questionnaires to 50 beneficiaries of the PAA, in 2014, residing in three settlements in that municipality. Among the multidimensional effects of the PAA, the expansion of production diversity for commercialization purposes; the reduction of the participation in other commercialization channels, mainly through intermediaries, and the significant increase in income, especially from the most economically vulnerable families, were evident.

title: CARBON STOCK GROWTH IN A SECONDARY ATLANTIC FOREST

description: ABSTRACT The secondary Atlantic forests play an important role in the context of climate change, acting as a carbon sink for the atmosphere. However, these forests can become a carbon source in case of increased tree mortality. Knowing this change is possible through continuous forest inventories that provide information on the dynamics of tree growth. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the carbon growth dynamics of a Seasonal Semideciduous Forest fragment, with 44.11 ha, located in the Parque Tecnológico de Viçosa - MG. The forest inventories were carried out in twenty plots of 10 m x 50 m, in the years of 2010 and 2015, where all stems with dbh ≥ 5 cm were measured, botanically identified and classified in ecological groups. The stem volume was obtained through volumetric equation. Biomass and carbon stock were quantified for compartments located above the ground (stem, branches and leaves) and below ground (roots). The dynamics of carbon growth were evaluated by Gross Increment (GI) and Periodic Annual Increment in carbon of the species (PAI). The GI was 12.72 MgC ha-1, including the carbon from the stems that were recruited and died during the monitoring period. The carbon stock increased 10.01 MgC ha-1, resulting in an PAI of 2.00 MgC ha-1 year-1. Thus, it is concluded that the forest fragment present positive carbon stock growth due to successional progression, ratifying the importance of secondary forest of the Atlantic forest in the mitigation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

title: CHEMICAL AND ENERGETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla CLONES SUBJECT TO WIND DAMAGE

description: ABSTRACT Wind damages are common in forest plantations and the use of this wood can minimize losses. The objective was to evaluate the chemical composition and the energetic potential of wood and charcoal from trees subject to wind damage. Eight (A to H) two-years-old Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla clones were selected in a region where wind damage is frequent. The basic density, calorific value, chemical composition of wood and calorific value, immediate chemistry and gravimetric yield of charcoal were determined for all clones. Materials with high lignin content and low S/G ratio had higher gravimetric yield. The energy density of wood and charcoal showed high relationship with the basic and apparent relative density, respectively. All materials showed potential for bioenergy, but the clone E stood out with higher gravimetric yield and energy density.

title: Inclusion is not Only Socialization: Contributions of Digital Educational Technologies to the Mathematical Learning of Students with Autistic Spectrum Disorders

description: Abstract The inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), although supported by Brazilian Legislation, represents a major challenge for regular schools and it is far from being a reality. Inclusion implies the offer of enrollment and full access to the school curriculum, with the necessary adaptations. However, in general, this is not the case, since many pedagogical actions, often supported by an idea that students with ASD cannot learn, still engage in exclusionary practices that do not take into account the singularities of these students. In order to counteract this view and to present alternatives that can contribute to the ASD students' has full access to the school curriculum, this paper discusses results of a research which objective was to understand the contributions of digital educational technologies to the mathematical learning of students with ASD. Through the case study methodology, data were produced from weekly meetings with two ASD students that were in the initial phase of schooling. They were included in a regular classroom. This study shows evidence of contributions to the students' development in relation to the construction of mathematical concepts. In addition, it shows that the use of technological resources may represent a pedagogical alternative in the work with ASD students, since their involvement with computerized activities allowed for the construction of mathematical concepts that they previously could not do in a non-digital environment.

title: Are foods naturally rich in glutamic acid an alternative to sodium reduction?

description: Abstract Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevalence has been growing, hence the importance of studying food alternatives with reduced sodium content sensory well accepted. Develop culinary preparations reduced in sodium, with addition of glutamic acid-rich ingredients, and evaluate their sensory acceptance. Research about use of glutamic acid-rich ingredients in recipes was done. Recipes were developed, aiming good sensory acceptance; their salt content was estimated by using TACO and USDA’s food composition table. They were later submitted to sensory analysis, in which was applied 9-point hedonic scale (global acceptance and flavor), and linear scale of 10 cm (salt intensity). Data was analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey Test (p &lt; 0.05) with software FIZZ Biosystemes. Herbs pie samples with parmesan cheese had better acceptance and salt intensity was perceived as moderate. Bruschetta samples, with tomatoes, were well accepted regardless the presence of refined salt or herbs; and had a harmonious salt intensity perception. Salt intensity was considered adequate on chicken stroganoff samples while champignon mushrooms provided better global acceptance. All samples had 50-60% less salt than traditional recipes. Ingredients naturally rich in glutamic acid (parmesan cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms) are good for strategies of sodium content reduction in culinary preparations, without reduce sensorial acceptance.

title: On the possibility of obtaining high-quality lyophilized collagen hydrolysate and its applicability in the sausage production

description: Abstract The paper discusses the issues of rational use of secondary collagen-containing raw material in the food industry, namely cattle by-products. The technology of obtaining collagen hydrolysate from this type of raw material with the subsequent freeze-drying is proposed, which maximizes the level of preservation of native properties and the expands the scope of its application. The paper presents the stages of obtaining lyophilized collagen hydrolysate by biomodification of frozen cattle lips and ears. The preparation of lyophilized collagen hydrolysate was carried out as follows: the lips and ears were preliminary washed in running tap water for 20 minutes in order to remove mucus and impurities, muscle and adipose tissue was also removed; after draining (15-20 minutes), the raw material was ground on a top with a grid diameter of 2-3 mm. At the next stage, the crushed lips and ears were treated with a solution of Protepsin enzyme preparation in the ratio of the raw material to solution 1:2 and kept for 0.5-1.5 hours at a concentration of the enzyme preparation of 0.06% by weight of the raw material, while stirring periodically (at 17-22 °C). The filtrate from the product was separated on a sieve. Processed as described above, the raw material was subjected to freeze-drying. Evaluation of the temperature and duration of freeze-drying of collagen hydrolysate was carried out at a drying layer thickness of 5.0 mm and different drying temperatures: 20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C, and 50 °C.

title: George Deacon and the circulation of homeopathic therapies in Lima (1880-1915)

description: Abstract Homeopathy arrived from the United States to Peruvian soil in the last decades of the nineteenth century, broadening the repertoire of existing medical knowledge, which included an emerging medical profession, Chinese herbalists, and indigenous practitioners. This article examines the circulation and use of homeopathic therapies and medicines in Lima from the time when the American homeopath George Deacon initiated his practice, in the 1880s, until his death, in 1915. Although homeopathy was not the most widely used medical therapy in the country, it nevertheless posed a threat to professional medicine and the School of Medicine’s desired monopoly of the field of medicine.

title: Screening and characterisation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) producing lactic acid bacteria isolated from Thai fermented fish (Plaa-som) in Nong Khai and its application in Thai fermented vegetables (Som-pak)

description: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the capability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from different kinds of fermented fish products (Plaa-som) on the production of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Among them, isolate L10-11, identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, offered the highest GABA production and was selected for further study. The highest production of GABA was obtained within 48h from the de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) medium, having a pH range of 5-6. Increasing the monosodium glutamate (MSG) concentration resulted in a higher accumulation of GABA and reached the highest concentration (15.74 g/L) using 4% (w/v) MSG, while high residual MSG was also observed in accordance with concentration increase. On the other hand, the addition of NaCl in the culture medium by up to 7% (w/v) did not suppress GABA production. Preliminary application of strain L10-11 as starter producing GABA was investigated in Thai fermented vegetables (Som-pak). It was found that GABA formation could be observed increasingly following the concentration of MSG added. GABA content in Som-pak was 5 times higher than that of control when inoculating Lb. plantarum L10-11 and adding MSG at 1% (w/v). In addition, sensory evaluation revealed that addition of this starter culture to Som-pak gave overall acceptability slightly higher than that which allowed fermentation to occur spontaneously. This alternative procedure would be successful for improving the nutritional quality of functional fermented food.

title: A case of polymelia associated with syndactyly in Didelphis aurita (Wied-Neuwied, 1826)

description: Abstract In January 2018, a young male of Didelphis aurita (Wied-Neuwied, 1826), the Brazilian common opossum, was admitted for veterinary evaluation at the Recovery Clinic of Wild Animals of Estácio de Sá University, CRAS, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, due to the presence of a partially duplicated right hind limb. After x-ray evaluation, polymelia associated with syndactyly was diagnosed. The images revealed the following alterations on the right limb: single femur with increased diameter, two tibiae, two fibulae and absence of hallux. The observed malformations were restricted to the hind right limb, which remains functional. This is the first report of such anomalies in an individual of Didelphis aurita.

title: Value of Contrast Transesophageal Echocardiography in the Detection of Intrapulmonary Vascular Dilatations in Hepatosplenic Schistosomiasis

description: Abstract Background: Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), found in cirrhotic patients, has been little studied in hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HSS) and includes the occurrence of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations (IPVD). Contrast transesophageal echocardiography (cTEE) with microbubbles is more sensitive than contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE) with microbubbles in the detection of IPVD in cirrhosis. Objective: To assess the performance of the cTEE, compared with that of cTTE, in detecting IPVD for the diagnosis of HPS in patients with HSS. Methods: cTEE and cTTE for investigation of IPVD and laboratory tests were performed in 22 patients with HSS. Agitated saline solution was injected in peripheral vein during the cTEE and cTTE procedures. Late appearance of the microbubbles in the left chambers indicated the presence of IPVD. Results of the two methods were compared by the Student’s t-test and the chi-square test (p &lt; 0.05). Results: cTEE was performed in all patients without complications. Three patients were excluded due to the presence of patent foramen ovale (PFO). The presence of IPVD was confirmed in 13 (68%) of 19 patients according to the cTEE and in only six (32%, p &lt; 0.01) according to the cTTE. No significant differences in clinical or laboratory data were found between the groups with and without IPVD, including the alveolar-arterial gradient. The diagnosis of HPS (presence of IPVD with changes in the arterial blood gas analysis) was made in five patients by the cTEE and in only one by the cTTE (p = 0.09). Conclusion: In HSS patients, cTEE was safe and superior to cTTE in detecting IPVD and allowed the exclusion of PFO.
