title: Foam mat drying of banana juice: varieties of ripe banana analysis and egg albumen foam

description: Abstract Drying technologies for ripen bananas is needed. Ripe bananas contains more antioxidant levels, anti-cancerous properties, easier to digest and useful for anxiety and depression. Considering nutrition compositional changes and the effect of external factors during processing ripe banana as a flour, foam mat drying with egg albumen foam was chosen. This research aim to provide an overview of banana juice foam mats from three different varieties bananas at level 5 up to 7 of maturity and mixed into different proportion using egg albumen as foaming agent and dried at temperatures from 60 °C to 80 °C in a cabinet dryer to a brittle and porous solid which able to grind. The study revealed that there is a significant difference in combination of banana varieties to rendement, the solubility of the powder and moisture content. The combination of various varieties of bananas is considered better to produce quality of ripen banana flour.

title: Health communication in campaigns to prevent human leptospirosis in Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil

description: Health communication actions in campaigns to prevent leptospirosis in Maceió are discussed. The method consisted of a multimodal analysis of five posters, two folders and one pamphlet used in leptospirosis campaigns between 1996 and 2017 and a content analysis of two interviews with users who were affected by the disease. Results show that: the original purpose of the materials alters its discursive effect but in terms of main visual effects it focuses mainly on the rat; campaigns use a unilateral, directive and potentially low impact communication model, confirming previous findings; there is a lack of correspondence between the proposed actions and the living conditions of the users. Based on these results, we discuss how responsibility for prevention is attributed mainly to the population in a vulnerability situation, exempting the State from actions that foster dialogue, and its potential psychosocial implications.

title: PEDOGEOMORPHOLOGICAL SYSTEMS IN THE INTERPRETATION OF THE EVOLUTION OF QUATERNARY LANDSCAPES IN HUMID TROPICAL CLIMATES

description: Abstract There is always a relationship between soil and relief in the landscapes of humid tropical and subtropical climates, due to the thick mantles of regolith resulting from accelerated physical, chemical, and biological weathering. It is important to investigate pedogeomorphological systems in the systemic analyses of the origin and modeling processes of the terrestrial surface. This paper seeks to establish the central relationships between Geomorphology and Pedology, and the importance of pedogeomorphological systems in the evolutionary interpretation of quaternary landscapes in humid tropical climates. Thus, the discussions address the influence of landforms on soil formation and spatialization and the pedological impacts on the modification of relief forms, as well as the methodological support from Pedology to Geomorphology concerning the evolutionary interpretation of tropical landscapes. Therefore, there is evidence of the need for closer links between the studies of geomorphological and pedological systems in the analysis of tropical landscapes.

title: Association between depressive symptoms and dental care-seeking behavior among elderly Brazilian people

description: Abstract Background Depressive symptoms are highly prevalent among the elderly population (10%). These symptoms frequently appear when there is a loss of quality of life associated with social exclusion and the appearance of severe diseases. Feelings of sadness, discouragement, despondency and deception, and events such as the loss of close friends and family can also be related to these symptoms. The consequences of depressive symptoms include negative oral health outcomes, such as a decrease in the frequency of toothbrushing, greater prevalence of caries and higher probability of the appearance of periodontitis. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the association between the presence of depressive symptoms and problem-oriented oral healthcare behavior, as well as the absence of healthcare-seeking behavior. Material and method 872 elderly people living in two health districts in Porto Alegre were evaluated. They provided information on socioeconomic variables at an interview, and responded to the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 and to a questionnaire assessing dental care-seeking behavior. In addition, an oral examination was performed. When analyzed using Poisson regression with robust variance, the variables of male sex, less schooling, lower income, reduced number of teeth, presence of root remnants and presence of depressive symptoms were found to be independently associated with the outcome. Result There was a significant difference regarding dental care-seeking behavior in relation to elderly people presenting depressive symptoms and those in low socioeconomic strata having poor oral status. Conclusion It was concluded that these factors need to be taken into consideration when evaluating dental care-seeking behavior.

title: AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PACOVAN ORGANIC BANANA IN IRRIGATION SYSTEMS IN THE AÇU-RN VALLEY

description: ABSTRACT The banana tree is grown in an extensive tropical region throughout the world, usually by small producers. The present work had the objective of evaluating irrigation systems in banana production in the Açu-RN Valley, aiming at alternatives so that they can be recommended to farmers in the Açu Valley region. The experiment was carried out in the area of the School Farm of the IFRN Campus Ipanguaçu, located in the municipality of Ipanguaçu-RN. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with subdivided plots and eight replications. The irrigation systems were: irrigation, drip irrigation, micro sprinkler and alternative irrigation. The plots were composed of eight useful plants with spacing in double rows 4 x 2 x 2 m. Eight characteristics related to production were evaluated: bunch mass (MC); number of leaves (NP); number of fruits per cluster (NFC); mean mass of the leaves (MMP); diameter of the fruit of the second seed (DF2P); length of the fruit of the second seed (CF2P); mean fruit mass (MMF); productivity (Prod). The data were submitted to analysis of variance and the means were compared by the Tukey test at 5% of probability. In the first cycle of production the sprinkler irrigation system was the one that presented better results the productivity of the Pacovan banana tree; in the 3rd cycle the alternative irrigation system was the one that showed better results the productivity of the banana tree; where the electrical conductivity correlated with the sodium adsorption ratio in the irrigation water, contributed to a moderate limitation of use.

title: Fretting corrosion tests on orthopedic plates and screws made of ASTM F138 stainless steel

description: Introduction Although there has been significant progress in the design of implants for osteosynthesis, the occurrence of failures in these medical devices are still frequent. These implants are prone to suffer from fretting corrosion due to micromotion that takes place between the screw heads and plate holes. Consequently, fretting corrosion has been the subject of research in order to understand its influence on the structural integrity of osteosynthesis implants. The aim of this paper is to correlate the surface finish characteristics of bone plate-screw systems with fretting corrosion. Methods The surface finish (machined and polished) of five specimens taken from three commercial dynamic compression plates (DCP) were evaluated. For testing, the specimens were fixed with bone screws, immersed in a solution of 0.90% NaCl and subjected to a rocking motion with an amplitude of 1.70 mm and frequency of 1.0 Hz for 1.0 × 106 cycles, according to the ASTM F897 standard. Both, plate and screws were manufactured in Brazil with ASTM F138 stainless steel. Results Flaws on the hole countersink area and on the screw thread of some specimens were identified stereoscopically. At the end of the test all the specimens showed evidence of fretting corrosion with an average metal loss of 4.80 mg/million cycles. Conclusion An inadequate surface finish in some areas of the plates and screws may have favored the incidence of damage to the passive film, accelerating the fretting corrosion at the interfaces between the plate hole countersink and the screw head. Keywords Osteosynthesis, DCP, Bone plate, Screw, Fretting corrosion, Stainless steel.
