title: INTERNATIONAL DIVISION OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE DECLINE OF HUMAN SCIENCES: THE SCENARIO OF PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE NORTHEAST OF BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the scenario of the offer of undergraduate courses by professional training area of private higher education institutions in the Northeast region of Brazil and its correlation with the conditions of the knowledge economy. In order to obtain a clear idea about the quantitative universe of the courses offered, we used the database on higher education institutions and e-MEC undergraduate courses. We found that Brazilian higher education experiences a prominence of the private sector, as well as the predominance of the offer of higher education courses centered on profitable areas for capitalist accumulation, and the consequent subalternization of human sciences due to the submission of education to economism linked to the globalization movement and the emergence of the knowledge economy.

title: Treatment of bilateral popliteal artery aneurysms

description: Abstract Popliteal artery aneurysms are the most frequent type of peripheral aneurysm, accounting for 85% of the all of these aneurysms. Usually asymptomatic, they are generally diagnosed during clinical examination. Incidence is higher among males and seniors. They are bilateral in 50% of the cases and 60% are associated with abdominal aortic aneurysms. This paper describes a 72-year-old male patient who presented with two bilateral pulsatile masses, one in each popliteal region, was otherwise asymptomatic, and had a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia. Clinical examination and ultrasound imaging confirmed a diagnosis of bilateral aneurysms of the popliteal arteries. Popliteal artery aneurysms can be treated with open bypass surgery, with or without aneurysm resection, or with endovascular surgery. This Therapeutic Challenge discusses these possibilities.

title: Reaction of advanced inbred lines of Habanero pepper to Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum and Phytophthora capsici

description: ABSTRACT Habanero pepper is important in the international market and is becoming popular in the national market; however, few cultivars adapted and resistant to devastating diseases caused by the soilborne pathogens Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (RP) and Phytophthora capsici (PC) are available in Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reaction of Habanero-type advanced inbred lines, developed by Embrapa Hortaliças breeding program, to RP and PC. Although not required for the process of protection, registration and release of new cultivars, this information is important. CNPH 15.737; CNPH 15.740; CNPH 15.744; CNPH 15.745; CNPH 15.749 and CNPH 15.750 were inoculated with three RP and one PC isolates. Plants showing wilted leaves (RP) and stem necrosis, leaf wilting and damping off (PC) were quantified. Total area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) was obtained using incidence values and also severity index for RP. CNPH 15.740 and CNPH 15.737 were highly resistant to RP. CNPH 15.749 displayed considerable resistance levels to PC. CNPH 15.740 showed high resistance to RP isolates and intermediate resistance to PC isolates which also shows agronomic traits of interest to the sector, therefore with a high potential to be released as a new cultivar.

title: INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF ELECTRIC FIELD ON CO2 ABSORPTION IN WATER/Fe3O4 NANOFLUID

description: Abstract In this study, a novel strategy for controlling the mass transfer rate in a gas-liquid system was reported and used for the industrially important system of CO2 absorption. The strategy used Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the liquid phase and also exerting an external electric field. To demonstrate this approach, a unique experimental set up was applied to form a falling liquid film, which was water, to be in contact with the gas phase, which was pure carbon dioxide. Nanofluid with concentrations less than 0.03% by volume and field intensities of 133, 200, 266 kV/m were used in this study. Experimental results showed that the external electric field was able to remarkably enhance the gas absorption rate in dilute nanofluids, while it deteriorated mass transfer in concentrated nanofluids. In order to explain the results, the viscosity of the nanofluid was also experimentally measured in the presence of the electric field.

title: Bovine colostrum: benefits of its use in human food

description: Abstract Colostrum is the first secretion of the mammary gland produced after birth, differentiating itself from mature milk because it has a higher concentration of proteins, immunoglobulins, vitamins, minerals, bactericides (lactoferrin, lysozyme and lactoperoxidase) and growth factors. The use of bovine colostrum for human consumption has been registered for many years in food or in medicinal therapies, and several studies have been conducted with the objective of evaluating its benefits in human food supplementation. The results point to improvements in cases of gastrointestinal, respiratory, inflammation, and bone development diseases, among others. Its commercialization currently takes place in physical or online markets in some countries. However, its commercialization for human consumption in Brazil is very recent, placing bovine colostrum as a new functional food option for consumers.

title: Preliminary investigation of Terahertz spectroscopy to predict pork freshness non-destructively

description: Abstract Freshness, a very important criterion for pork quality control, is normally assessed by the index of K value. In this paper, Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy was employed to predict K value of pork nondestructively. The THz spectra (0.2~2.0THz) of 80 pork samples with different freshness in the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode were acquired. Simultaneously, their K values were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) prediction model of K value was established. The precision of BP-ANN was further improved after optimization by the algorithm of Adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), whose root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and correlation coefficient (RP) were 9.89% and 0.84 respectively in the prediction set, indicating that the non-linear models (BP-ANN and BP-AdaBoost) were superior to the linear principal component regression (PCR) model. The topological neural network architecture was much more suitable for analyzing complicated regression relationship between K value and THz spectra. It can be concluded that the THz spectral coupled with BP-AdaBoost algorithm is capable of predicting the pork K value.

title: EVALUATION OF A PSYCHO-SOCIAL SUPPORT PROGRAM ABOUT CONCEPTS OF PERSISTENCE AND UNIVERSITY RETENTION

description: ABSTRACT The high number of students who fail their first year of higher education in Chile has led the Ministry of Education to create strategies of accompaniment, as a way to raise retention rates and prevent university dropouts. We sought to understand the meanings and scope of the persistence and university retention phenomenon, using a qualitative case study methodology (Stake, 1998) from a communicative-critical perspective (Gómez et al., 2006). Participants were freshmen (cohort 2015) belonging to the program “me quedo en la universidad” (“I stay in University”). Various positive and negative evaluations of the program are noted, highlighting aspects of participation, learning strategies, motivational factors and even elements such as space and identity that may come to be established with the university or with their career, which may influence the decision to continue or defect from the system.

title: IDENTIFICATION OF HOMOGENEOUS RAINFALL ZONES DURING GRAIN CROPS IN PARANÁ, BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to identify homogeneous rainfall zones in the winter and summer 1st and 2nd crops, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The zones were defined by clustering using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to transform seasonal rainfall series. Monthly average rainfall data collected from 157 weather stations for 20 years (1996 to 2015) were employed. The results show that the number of homogeneous zones varied among growing seasons. The summer crop presented two clusters, with rainfall averages of 1489 and 1925 mm; the second crop presented four clusters, with averages of 1849, 1004, 1454, and 1182 mm; and the winter crop had three clusters, with averages of 969, 1498, and 1171 mm. Clustering was a useful instrument to identify geographical regions with similar rainfall regimes during different growing seasons in the state of Paraná. Rainfall distribution was more homogeneous in the summer crop. In all crops analyzed, the clusters with the lowest rainfall rate were present in the northwestern, northern center, and northern pioneer of the state of Paraná, whereas the clusters with the highest rainfall rate were found in the coastal regions.

title: THE RURAL EDUCATION CONCEIVED BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR REPERCUSSIONS IN BRAZIL IN THE 1960S AND 1970S

description: ABSTRACT The paper deals with the divergent conceptions that international organisms dedicated to rural education in the 1960s and 1970s. It presents the ideal conceptions that United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) and the Organization of American States (OAS) have dedicated to the theme. It highlights how Unesco's advisory economists have defined rural education hegemonically in this organization, as well as emphasizes the preponderance of the thinking of UNESCO’s economists as advisors in the implementation of rural education projects in the 1960s and 1970s. Differentiating from Unesco-related economists, the debate on rural education promoted by Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (Eclac) in the 1970s will deal with this issue in an innovative way. Finally, the conceptions that rural education found in Brazilian government agencies in the 1960s and 1970s will be presented. The research aimed to differentiate the possible influences of the international debate on rural education in the 1960s and 1970s and their interfaces with the discussion of this theme in Brazil in the same period.

title: Self-care activities, sociodemographic variables, treatment and depressive symptoms among older adults with Diabetes Mellitus

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the association between self-care activities of older adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and sociodemographic variables, type of treatment and depressive symptoms. Method: inferential and cross-sectional study, with 121 older adults with Type 2 DM in ambulatory care. We used a questionnaire for characterization of sociodemographic and health, questionnaire self-care activities with DM, Mini Mental State Examination and Geriatric Depression Scale. The association of variables was used (Fisher’s exact test) and for comparing the means (Student’s t-test and analysis of variance). Results: The mean age was 68.1 years, the majority were women (57.2%), retired (71.9%) and married (65.3%). The highest averages were for the activities: “to dry the spaces between the toes, after washing them” and smaller averages for “exercise”. Conclusion: In spite of high average for self-care activities, there is a need for enhanced performance and compliance to them.
