title: STATE OF HEALTH AND PHYSICAL FITNESS OF CBF (BRAZILIAN SOCCER CONFEDERATION) REFEREES FROM THE STATE OF ESPÍRITO SANTO

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Studies indicate that the technical/tactical performance of soccer referees can be impacted by physical fitness and state of health. However, although they are routinely invited to take part in matches at national level, it is not yet clearly established whether referees who work in less prominent regions and soccer championships present the same levels of physical, technical and psychological preparation as referees from more important areas, such as the soccer teams of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Within this context, no studies have evaluated the physical conditioning and health parameters of Brazilian Soccer Confederation (CBF) referees who work in Espírito Santo. Objective: To assess the health and physical fitness levels of CBF soccer referees from Espírito Santo. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 16 participants, 6 referees, and 10 assistant referees. The protocol lasted 12 weeks and consisted of the following analyses: general characteristics, body composition, flexibility, and biochemical and cardiorespiratory profiles. Results: The referees all fell under the age range (26 to 41 years) required by CBF and had good body composition and flexibility results. The cardiorespiratory assessment (rest and effort) of the referees indicated satisfactory physical fitness and consequently, low risk for cardiovascular diseases based on resting heart rate (HR) (64 ± 13 bpm), HR reserve (126 ± 18 bpm) and VO2max (45.3 ± 5.7 ml·kg−1·min−1), results similar to those seen in elite international referees. Regarding the biochemical assessment, the parameters analyzed were within the normal range. Conclusion: Despite the fact that referees from the state of Espírito Santo work in a region of lesser national significance and relevance in the soccer domain, they present satisfactory levels of physical fitness and health parameters to act with safety and precision in national competitions. Level of Evidence IV; Type of study: Case series.

title: Powdered coconut water as hydroelectrolytic and energetic supplement for athletes

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: The use of sports drinks has been adopted in various forms in order to provide adequate hydration during physical activities. Green coconut water has been used as electrolyte replenishing due to its physicochemical composition, which is rich in minerals. Objective: To evaluate a sports drink based on powdered coconut water (ACP ) as from a blend of ACP with passion fruit pulp (Passiflora edulis S.), focused on the functional food market, aiming at improving the performance of amateur and professional athletes compared with an electrolytic replenishing already established in the market (passion fruit flavored Gatorade ). Methods: The experiment followed a completely rando-mized design in a factorial scheme 2 x 2 x 3 (2 genders x 2 drink types x 3 times a week) comparing the performance of two groups of athletes, five male athletes and five female athletes, as to the effectiveness of two hydroelectrolytic supplements (ACP with 20% passion fruit pulp and passion fruit flavored Gatorade ) on different days of the week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Results: ACP with passion fruit pulp showed results similar to the passion fruit flavored Gatorade in relation to blood plasma osmolarity of athletes, who experienced no loss of performance and more gastric comfort when hydrated with ACP with passion fruit pulp. Conclusion: The physiological responses show the efficiency of ACP with passion fruit pulp as a replenishing of electrolytes similar to Gatorade passion fruit flavored, the ACP with passion fruit pulp being, therefore, also appropriate to be used as a sports drink.

title: Application of LC-DAD Metabolic Fingerprinting in Combination with PCA for Evaluation of Seasonality and Extraction Method on the Chemical Composition of Accessions from Lippia alba (Mill) N. E. Brown and Biological Activities

description: The methodology developed in this study through the acquisition of fingerprint chromatograms by liquid chromatography-diode array detector (LC-DAD), aided by principal component analysis, made it possible to assess, in a rational way, the chemical differences between six accessions of Lippia alba and to verify the influence of the method of extraction, the seasonality and the individuality of each accession on chemical composition of its extracts. Among all extracts analyzed against cancer cell lines, eight of them showed to be more promising against a human leukemia cell line (HL-60), displaying cell growth inhibition percentage ranging between 40.0 and 52.0%. In the inhibitory activity assays against acetylcholinesterase enzyme, all extracts showed weak inhibitory effect, with highlight only for six of them, which displayed inhibition ranging between 27.0 and 32.0%.

title: Biotic potential and reproductive parameters of Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the laboratory

description: Abstract In this study we evaluate the biotic potential and reproductive parameters of Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker, 1858) under controlled conditions (25 ± 1 °C, 70 ± 10% RH and 14 hour photophase). Females, on average, (14.433 days) did not live significantly longer than their male counterparts (13.100 days). The mean durations of the pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition periods were 2.767, 10.600 and 1.067 days, respectively. The mean fecundity of females was 5,073.533 eggs and the mean fertility was 5,021.027 larvae. On average, females copulated 1.167 times. Fecundity was positively correlated with the number of copulations (r = 0.583, P &lt;0.001). The number of copulations, however, was negatively correlated whit the duration of the pre-oviposition (r = -0.560, P = 0.007) and oviposition (r = -0.479, P = 0.048) periods, and overall longevity (r = -0.512, P = 0.031). The biotic potential was estimated at 6.547 x 1021 individuals/female/year. The net reproductive rate (Ro) was 2,193.722 times per generation and the mean generation time (T) was 46.407 days. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was 0.166, with a finite rate of increase (λ) of 1.180, per week.

title: EXTREME CONDITIONING TRAINING: ACUTE EFFECTS ON MOOD STATE

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: The search for strategies aimed at reducing daily stress is increasing in the current literature. As a result, several types of fitness training are constantly being investigated for their influence on mood states. However, we know little about strategies that use higher intensities. Objective: To investigate the acute effects of an extreme conditioning training (ECT) session on the mood states of individuals with or without prior experience in this type of training. Methods: Volunteers were divided into TRAINED (n = 10) and CONDITIONED (n = 10) groups, undergoing a single 9-minute ECT session. Mood states (BRUMS scale) were analyzed at baseline, immediately afterwards, and after 30 minutes. Results: Anger, confusion and tension were significantly reduced in both groups immediately afterwards and post 30 minutes. The TRAINED group showed a significant reduction in fatigue 30 minutes after the end of the session. Effect size for all variables was considered small to moderate. The TRAINED group had significantly increased vigor immediately after the end of the session compared to baseline. However, the CONDITIONED group had significantly reduced vigor 30 minutes afterwards, in comparison to baseline. The increase in vigor in the TRAINED group was considered moderate (ES = 0.68), while the decrease in vigor in the CONDITIONED group was considered major (ES = −0.88). Conclusion: An ECT session is powerful enough to induce significant, albeit small and moderate, changes in mood states in both trained and untrained individuals in this particular type of exercise.

title: Lipid Profile Determination by Direct Infusion ESI-MS and Fatty Acid Composition by GC-FID in Human Milk Pools by Folch and Creamatocrit Methods

description: Human milk (HM) is extremely important to the baby, containing a varied and balanced range of nutrients fundamental to the ideal development of the newborn. Among these nutrients, HM lipids provide 40-60% of the energy. In HM banks, the creamatocrit method is employed as a quick and solvent-free tool, however, since Folch methodology is considered reference for lipid extraction, this study compared the fatty acid (FA) composition and the lipid profile by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and direct infusion by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DI-ESI-MS) in pools of different HM phases, obtained from Folch and creamatocrit methods, in order to elucidate which method provides better information about HM lipids. Lipid compositon results by Folch were superior to the results obtained by creamatocrit in HM pools investigated. It means, the lipid profiles of all HM pools were more intense, and the number of FA identified by Folch was also higher in comparison to the creamatocrit method (21 and 6 FAs, respectively). GC-FID analysis in combination with principal component analysis (PCA) divided the methods, confirming a greater contribution of the Folch method. Therefore, Folch methodology revealed an effective lipid extraction in comparison to creamatocrit method.

title: BONE TISSUE BEHAVIOR OF RATS WITH EXPERIMENTAL PERIODONTITIS SUBJECTED TO PHYSICAL EXERCISE

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: It is possible that physical activity protects the periodontium by mitigating excessive inflammatory response of the individual. There is some evidence from longitudinal studies and a prospective study demonstrating that physically active adults have experienced a decrease in the risk of periodontitis. To date no study has jointly explored the relationship of physical activity and periodontitis using inflammatory biomarkers. Objective: In this regard, the objective was to assess the bone tissue behavior of rats with experimental periodontitis subjected to aquatic exercise. Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: 1) without periodontitis and without exercise (CS); 2) without periodontitis and with exercise (CE); 3) with periodontitis and without exercise (DPS); 4) with periodontitis and with exercise (DPE). The animals from groups CE and DPE had swimming sessions for four weeks and the DPS and DPE groups were subjected to ligature-induced periodontitis. After 30 days the animals were sacrificed, and had their right and left hemimandibles removed for radiographic and histological analysis. The data obtained were analyzed and evaluated through ANOVA and Tukey tests. Results: Bone loss in the animals from the DPE group was found to be significantly lower (61.7 ± 2.2; p &lt;0.05) than in those from the DPS group (84.5 ± 1.2; p &lt;0.05), while in terms of the number of osteoblasts (DPS=11.0 ± 1.4; DPE=10.7 ± 5.2) and osteocytes (DPS=17.3 ± 3.1; DPE=19.0 ± 4.4), there was no significant decrease (p &lt;0.05) in the groups subjected to experimental periodontitis, regardless of physical exercise. Conclusion: Physical exercise was found to have a protective effect in relation to bone height and did not influence bone density.

title: Aspectos de regulação internacional do petróleo: o caso Brasil

description: ABSTRACT This papers seeks to verify aspects of the international regulation of oil, specifically those contained in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea that refer to the obligation to pay royalties to the United Nations on the exploration by the Brazilian government of hydrocarbons in extended platforms. The deductive method and exploratory and comparative research were used. After identifying how the work was carried out, it discusses the issue of law of the sea and the economic exploitation discourses on the theme, their motivation and the context of work to be investigated. The authors also discuss the issue within the dimension of regulation being almost always absent from the formulation of energy policies. The discussion is grounded on a case study of Brazil and presents the importance of the oil industry, the history of offshore exploration in Brazil, and even the distribution of royalties between the national state and the United Nations. In the development of this issue, possible scenarios are brought to light regarding the future of offshore oil exploration in Brazil and the results of enforcement of international regulation by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Finally, we reach the conclusion that some oil rigs are already located near the 200 nautical miles limit and that the polygon of the pre-salt oils reserves is also entering this limit, demonstrating the need for an impartial reckoning of the pros and cons of Brazil’s position by analyzing possible future scenarios.

title: Pharmacological and nonpharmacological measures of pain management and treatment among neonates

description: ABSTRACT Objective: This study sought to describe and quantify the pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies used to relieve the pain/stress of neonates during hospitalization in neonatal intensive care units. Methods: This quantitative, longitudinal, and descriptive study examined 50 neonates from neonatal intensive care unit admission to discharge. Results: A total of 9,948 painful/stressful procedures were recorded (mean = 11.25 ± 6.3) per day per neonate. A total of 11,722 pain-management and relief interventions were performed, of which 11,495 (98.1%) were nonpharmacological strategies, and 227 (1.9%) were pharmacological interventions. On average, each neonate received 235 pain-management and treatment interventions during hospitalization, 13 nonpharmacological interventions per day, and one pharmacological intervention every 2 days. Conclusion: Neonates receive few specific measures for pain relief given the high number of painful and stressful procedures performed during hospitalization. Thus, it is essential to implement effective pain-relief protocols.
