“A Estratégia do Ceder para Não Se Perder”: o Maracatu Rural como um Campo de Luta

Em um mundo em que as relações mercantis orientam a sociedade contemporânea, vive-se uma dinâmica de disputas de espaços. Inserido em um mercado de entretenimento e na indústria do turismo, o Maracatu Rural de Pernambuco tem sido formatado como produto cultural. Adotando-se a sociologia econômica de Pierre Bourdieu como suporte teórico, o presente estudo buscou compreender como se configura o campo do Maracatu Rural em Pernambuco diante de uma lógica econômica. Para tal, realizou-se a presente pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter etnográfico e interpretativista, por meio de observações, bem como de entrevistas decorrentes de interações com agentes do campo

Klotho levels: association with insulin resistance and albumin-to-creatinine ratio in type 2 diabetic patients

The present study aimed at evaluating the relationship between Klotho levels and insulin resistance and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in type 2 diabetic patients with CKD. We conducted an observational, cross-sectional study in our outpatient diabetic nephropathy clinic from 2014 to 2016, enrolling a total of 107 type 2 diabetic patients with stage 2-3 CKD, with a mean age of 59 years. Several clinical and laboratorial parameters were evaluated, including those related to mineral and carbohydrate metabolism. The mean eGFR at baseline was 53.2 mL/min, and the mean levels of ACR and Klotho were 181.9 A mu g/mg and 331.1 pg/m, respectively. In the simple linear regression model, Klotho levels were correlated with age, phosphorus, PTH, ACR, HOMA, IL-6, FGF-23, OxLDL, eGFR and vitamin D levels. Applying a multivariate linear regression model, only the ACR, HOMA-IR, FGF-23 and vitamin D independently influenced the Klotho levels. In the generalized linear model, only the Klotho groups were statistically significant as independent variable (p = 0.007). The results show that the group 1 ( 440) had higher odds in the higher ACR (ae181), ORa = 3.429, p = 0.014. There were no statistically significant differences between Klotho groups 2 and 3, and the HOMA-IR obtained showed that group 1 (2 when compared with group 3 (> 440), ORa = 21.59, p = 0.017. Our results showed that Klotho levels are influenced by FGF23, vitamin D and insulin resistance. This suggests that Klotho levels might be affected by renal function as well as having a relevant role on insulin metabolism and ACR homeostasis.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Doctor, how much weight will I lose? - a new individualized predictive model for weight loss

Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for weight loss, but the patient’s ability to reach a sustained weight loss depends upon several technical and individual factors. Creating an easy model that adapts bariatric surgery’s weight loss goals for each patient is very important for pre-surgery and follow-up evaluations.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Tolerance of pirarucu juveniles to increasing ammonia concentration in a closed environment

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a tolerância de juvenis de pirarucu, Arapaima gigas, a concentrações crescentes de amônia na água. Oito peixes (2,6±0,4 kg e 70,5±4,1 cm de comprimento) foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em quatro tanques (0,8x0,9x2,6 m) com 410 L de água tamponada com Na2PO4 e HCl, ambos a 0,1 M, onde ficaram por 33 dias. As concentrações de amônia no plasma sanguíneo dos peixes e na água foram determinadas pelo método do salicilato. A glicose plasmática e os níveis de amônia aumentaram proporcionalmente à concentração de amônia na água. Juvenis de pirarucu toleram altas concentrações de amônia na água.The objective of this work was to evaluate the tolerance of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) juveniles to increasing concentrations of ammonia in the water. Eight fish (2.6±0.4 kg and 70.5±4.1 cm length) were evenly distributed in four tanks (0.8x0.9x2.6 m) with 410 L of water buffered with Na2PO4(0.1 M) and HCl (0.1 M), where they were kept for 33 days. Ammonia concentrations in the fish blood plasma and in the water were determined by the salicilate method. Plasma glucose and ammonia levels increased proportionally to the concentration of ammonia in the water. Pirarucu juveniles tolerate high concentrations of ammonia in the water

Tolerância do feijoeiro a herbicidas aplicados na cultura da cana-de-açúcar

This work was aimed to evaluate the selectivity of main herbicides used in sugar cane crop applied in pre or post emergence conditions to common bean (“Jalo” Group – cultivar “Jalo Precoce”). In pre emergence modality the treatments evaluated consisted of: ametryn (2.500 g ha-1), tebuthiuron (800 g ha-1), [hexazinone + diuron] (237.6 + 842.4 g ha-1), metribuzin (1,440 g ha-1), clomazone (800 g ha-1), isoxaflutole (112.5 g ha-1), sulfentrazone (600 g ha-1), imazapic (105 g ha-1), trifluralin (1,800 g ha-1), S-metolachlor (1,920 g ha-1), and a check without herbicide application. In post emergence modality treatments evaluated were: MSMA (1,440 g ha-1), MSMA + diuron (1,080 + 420 g ha-1), [hexazinone + diuron] (237.6 + 842.4 g ha-1), metribuzin (1,440 g ha-1), ametryn (1,500 g ha-1), [ametryn + trifloxysulfuron sodium] (1,280 + 32.4 g ha-1), halosulfuron (112.5 g ha-1), 2.4-D (1,005 g ha-1) and mesotrione (120 g ha-1) besides a check without herbicide application. Phytointoxication, stand, plant height, wet and dry matter of shoots, number of plants at harvest, height of first pod insertion, and grain yield were evaluated. S-metolachlor, tebuthiuron, trifluralin and clomazone herbicides showed satisfactory selectivity to bean plants cv. Jalo Precoce, when applied in pre-emergence. However, ametryn [hexazinone + diuron], metribuzin, isoxaflutole, sulfentrazone and imazapic were not selective, even in pre-emergence applications. None of tested herbicides showed selectivity conditions for being used in post-emergence in one bean integrated cultivation system (cv. Jalo Precoce) in areas with sugar cane crop production.O trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a seletividade dos principais herbicidas utilizados na cultura da cana-de-açúcar, aplicados em pré ou pós-emergência, ao feijão-comum (Grupo Jalo – cultivar Jalo Precoce).

Portuguese Football Federation consensus statement 2020: nutrition and performance in football

Nutrition is an undeniable part of promoting health and performance among football (soccer) players. Nevertheless, nutritional strategies adopted in elite football can vary significantly depending on culture, habit and practical constraints and might not always be supported by scientific evidence. Therefore, a group of 28 Portuguese experts on sports nutrition, sports science and sports medicine sought to discuss current practices in the elite football landscape and review the existing evidence on nutritional strategies to be applied when supporting football players. Starting from understanding football's physical and physiological demands, five different moments were identified: preparing to play, match-day, recovery after matches, between matches and during injury or rehabilitation periods. When applicable, specificities of nutritional support to young athletes and female players were also addressed. The result is a set of practical recommendations that gathered consensus among involved experts, highlighting carbohydrates periodisation, hydration and conscious use of dietary supplements.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
