title: CONFORMITY OF REFRIGERATED RAW MILK FROM FAMILY PRODUCTION UNITS OF SOUTHERN ESPÍRITO SANTO

description: Abstract Dairy farming is an important activity in Brazil and Espírito Santo state, with small properties accounting for 80% of production. Despite of this economic importance, data about quality of the milk produced and the hygienic-sanitary conditions are still scarce. Then, the objective of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of refrigerated raw milk produced in family production units in southern Espírito Santo to verify compliance with Brazilian legal standards. Three collections were carried out in 29 community expansion tanks, for a total of 87 samples of refrigerated raw milk. Analysis of standard plate count (SPC), psychrotrophic bacteria count (PBC), somatic cell count (SCC), titratable acidity, density, fat, total dry extract (TDE), non-fat dry extract (NFDE), residues of antibiotics (β-lactam and tetracycline), cadmium and lead levels were performed. Of the 87 samples, 66% presented non-standard values for SPC, and 38% had non-standard values for SCC. Eighty five percent of the samples presented non-standard results for NFDE, 10.3% for density and 2.3% for titratable acidity. All samples complied with the legislation regarding residues of antibiotics, Cd and Pb levels. These results indicated failures in the raw milk obtainment and storage chain from family production units of southern Espírito Santo, Brazil.

title: Engineering the Future: Teaching Reading and Writing at the Universidad Nacional de Entre Rios

description: Abstract Since the 1990s, in Argentina there has been considerable concern over whether higher education institutions must undertake the responsibility of teaching academic skills to their student population or if both undergraduates and graduates ought to cope with the enculturation process without assistance. Although academics seem to have reached an agreement and have put forward a number of actions aimed at facilitating the access of university students into their target discourse communities, there is still heated debate about how the issue must be approached. In this article we describe the initiatives carried out at two engineering colleges: the Facultad de Ciencias de la Alimentación and the Facultad de Ingeniería belonging to the Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos that have paved the way for the inclusion of academic literacy development in the curriculum.

title: PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND SENSORY ACCEPTANCE OF CHOPPED HAM WITH PEA FIBER AIMING AT COST REDUCTION

description: Abstract This study was developed to evaluate the physicochemical and sensorial characteristics of chopped ham prepared with the addition of pea fiber as a partial substitute of meat. Two treatment samples were processed: Control (C)-commercial production; and Fiber Less Meat (FLM)-reduction of 5% of meat and addition of 1% of fiber and 4% of water. After processing, the products were characterized regarding pH levels, texture, objective color, loss by dripping, centesimal composition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and sensorial evaluation (9-point hedonic scale acceptability test). Analyzing the texture, the parameters for firmness and chewy were higher (p&lt;0.05) for the C sample. The sample FLM presented higher L* value (p&lt;0.05) and lower a* and b* values (p&lt;0.05) than sample C. Regarding the sensorial evaluation, the items aroma, appearance, texture, and flavor did not present differences (p&gt;0.05). Regarding general acceptability, the samples differed (p&lt;0.05) and the FLM sample presented higher acceptability compared to the control sample. In conclusion, it is possible to use pea fibers in chopped ham as a partial substitute for meat having a final product with high sensorial acceptability and cost reduction.

title: GOAT MILK MANGO YOGHURTS: PHYSICOCHEMICAL STABILITY DURING OR STORAGE

description: Abstract Goat milk and regional fruits, like the sword mango, are loaded with nutritional potential which warrant investigation as possible sources of generating income, particularly in the deficient semiarid northeastern regions of Brazil. The aim of this study is to assess the stability of the procedure in the production of processed yogurt with goat milk and sleeve pulp. Five different yogurt formulations were processed using varying concentrations of sucrose (5, 10 and 15%) and mango pulp (4, 5 and 6%). Each type of yogurt had a distinctive flavour attributed to the effect of several factors viz., dry extract, ash, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, calories, pH, acidity and water content, over a 30-day period, with stabilization being performed every 15 days. In this study, the sucrose concentration was identified as the most significant factor among the various physicochemical parameters. In the storage period a decrease in the pH values, calories, lipids, total dry extract and ash was observed, as well as an increase in the acidity values and carbohydrate and water content, in all the yogurts. Yogurts are amenable to market testing, with potential perspectives of significance for income generation and wise utilisation of the available regional premium constituents, like goat milk and sword mango, whose consumption can act as a healthy and nutritious food supplement.

title: Evaluation of environmental management systems on swine farms

description: Due to the environmental impacts caused by intensive swine farming and the economic importance and growth of this activity, this study evaluated environmental management practices on swine farms located in the state of São Paulo/Brazil. In order to accomplish this, exploratory interviews were conducted with the managers or owners of 37 randomly selected farms. The resulting data was then used to create a questionnaire that contained eight questions, and to also create an electronic database containing questions and answers. Weights, varying from 1 to 10 based upon their importance in preventing or mitigating environmental degradation, were assigned for each process carried out on the farm. The farms were then classified as satisfactory, satisfactory with restrictions and unsatisfactory, if their scores were greater than or equal to 70 points, between 51 and 69 points or lower than 51 points, respectively. The results showed that approximately 62% of the swine farms investigated were considered unsatisfactory, since their average score was 43.61. Approximately 11% and 27% were deemed satisfactory with restrictions and satisfactory, respectively, since their scores were 59.50 and 84.40. For items considered important, such as the use of biodigesters and compost, 51.35% used no biodigesters and 67.55% and 62.15%, respectively, used no compost or their practices were unsatisfactory. The need for incentive programs to improve swine waste management on farms in São Paulo State was therefore made evident.

title: From the past to the future of therapeutic orthoses for upper limbs rehabilitation

description: Abstract Introduction The expansion of assistive technologies has been increasing significantly, involving almost all the daily activities, performed by disabled people. One of the highlights to be mentioned is the robotic orthoses, which are being used to amplify movements, to replace amputated limbs, and for a variety of rehabilitation therapies, among others. This study aims to present a review about upper limbs’ orthoses, discussing their weaknesses, potentialities, and pointing out for future perspectives under the motor rehabilitation. Methods For this research, it had been identified 161 papers, based on the bibliographic bases from IEEE and Science Direct, which were filtered by the keywords orthoses, hand, upper-limbs and technology. After the appropriate exclusions, 22 papers were analyzed. Results This review indicates that most of the orthoses have been developed for rehabilitation therapies to be employed by people who have suffered stroke, cerebral palsy or spinal cord injury. This research summarized that the upper limbs movements are effectively produced by electric or pneumatic actuators, having a variety of degrees of freedom. Conclusion This review has shown that, although there are many orthoses styles, ranging from electric to pneumatic actuators; also there are some technical restrictions that prevent their use by most people. However, upper limb orthoses seem to be a great solution for the rehabilitation of people who have suffered a stroke.

title: Oral conditions and body weight in children from a public school in Manaus, AM, Brazil

description: Abstract Introduction Some studies have pointed to links between the prevalence of caries and periodontal disease, and the occurrence of overweight or obesity; but, few studies have been conducted in children. Objective To assess the relationship between periodontal disease, tooth decay and body weight in children from a public school in Manaus, AM, Brazil. Material and method The study included one hundred and sixty-nine children. Records were obtained of decayed, missing and filled (DMFT) permanent teeth, and of decayed, extracted, or filled (DEF) deciduous teeth, as well as the record of the community periodontal index (CPI). The classification of body weight category was obtained in percentile using the z-Score table. Result Higher averages of weight and body mass index (BMI) were seen in the overweight and obesity groups (p&lt;0.05). All groups were similar regarding the DMFT /DEF and CPI codes from 0 to 4 (p&gt;0.05). All groups showed higher averages of CPI 0 in comparison with other CPI codes from 1 to 4 (p&lt;0.05), and most of the children showed sites with probing depth &lt;3.5 mm and without bleeding on probing. Conclusion There was no relationship between body weight and the occurrence of dental caries and periodontal disease in the studied population. Obesity and overweight showed no negative influence on the increase in the prevalence of these diseases.

title: FORAGE PRODUCTION AND PRESERVATION OF SPECIES BY ENRICHING CAATINGA WITH GRASSES AND THINNING AREAS INTO STRIPS

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the thinning into strips and the enrichment with exotic grasses in a Caatinga area in order to maintain and increase the biodiversity of native vegetable species and forage production. Two studies were carried out-one in an area of Caatinga thinned into strips and one in an unmanipulated Caatinga area-during the rainy and rainy-dry season transition periods in 2016. The production of herbaceous biomass was evaluated, and the diversity and equability of the two areas were assessed through Shannon-Weaver (H’) and Pielou (J’) indexes. The establishment of massai and buffel grasses at the center and edges of the area thinned into strips was also evaluated. During the rainy season, the production of herbaceous biomass in the area thinned into strips and the unmanipulated area was 1,228 kg ha-1 and 833.33 kg ha-1, while during the rainy-dry transition period, it was 1,973 kg ha-1 and 836.00 kg ha-1, respectively. The indexes remained similar: H’ (1.86) and J’ (0.74) for the area thinned into strips, and H’ (1.77) and J’ (0.85) for the unmanipulated area. The massai grass presented better establishment and development than that by the buffel grass in the center and edges of the area thinned into strips. Thus, thinning into strips increases the biodiversity of an area, and this combined with enrichment through grasses increases the biomass of herbaceous forage.
