Qualities of coffee beans, from ripe fruit, kept in clean water for up to five days: Qualidades do café, de frutos maduras, conservados em água limpa por até cinco dias

The use of compatible techniques, which allow family coffee growers to form larger batches of coffee, to be dried in commercial dryers and within their production reality, is very important in view of the scarcity of labor and demand for superior quality. As natural drying, depending on climatic conditions, may not produce high quality coffees, it is necessary that farmer maintain small daily harvests in conditions that can be transformed into a larger batch compatible with the capacity of conventional dryers, offered by the Brazilian industry. The acquisition of a dryer, which does not meet the entire harvest, can derail the process, with increased costs of acquisition, operational and incompatibility of the harvest / post-harvest systems. If the dryer capacity does not meet the harvest schedule at the peak of coffee maturation, when there will be a need for extra labor to avoid fruit fall, there will be losses due to reduced product quality. To solve the problem, this work was carried out on a farm with potential for coffee of superior quality, with 1100 meters of altitude located in the district of Embiruçu in the municipality of Mutum-MG, using the water storage technique, proposed by Machado (2005) for coffee harvested by hand striping, and confirmed by (Coelho et al., 2019) in the treatment of green coffee fruits, originated in wet processing. The results of this work show that the technology of immersion of fruits, recently harvested in water, for up to five days, did not impair the quality of the cup-proof and positively influenced the physical parameters used in the evaluation of the coffee type, indicating the possibility of aggregating small batches to enable the use of conventional dryers in the small coffee farms

Transplante renal pediátrico por HAS grave em caso de GESF colapsante: um relato de caso / Pediatric kidney transplantation for severe NASH in a case of collapsing GESF: a case report

A glomeruloesclerose segmentar e focal (GESF) é uma nefropatia que cursa com esclerose do parênquima renal, havendo o subtipo colapsante, cuja progressão para insuficiência renal terminal ocorre de forma rápida. O caso relatado é sobre uma paciente pediátrica de 7 anos, previamente nefrectomizada à esquerda, que realizou transplante renal com nefrectomia direita peroperatória, por hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) grave de difícil controle associada à síndrome da encefalopatia posterior reversível (PRES), devido à GESF do subtipo colapsante não relacionada ao HIV. Casos complexos com evolução semelhante à relatada muitas vezes necessitam de intervenções terminais com o objetivo de prover qualidade de vida ao paciente, e, especialmente na esfera pediátrica, de garantir um desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor satisfatório, tendo, como exemplo, terapias de substituição renal. Este trabalho destaca o transplante renal como a medida terapêutica mais eficiente para o controle das condições apresentadas pela paciente

Occurrence Of Osteomuscular Symptoms In Teachers Of A Higher Education Institution

The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrence of musculoskeletal symptoms in teachers of a Higher Education Institution (HEI) located in João Pessoa – PB. This is a descriptive research with a quantitative approach, held at the Faculties of Nursing and Medicine (FACENE/FAMENE), in the city of João Pessoa-PB. The instrument for data collection consisted of a form with objective questions and divided into two parts, the first with data characterizing the sample and the second with the Nordic Musculoskeletal Symptoms Questionnaire. The data were analyzed quantitatively in percentage numbers and distributed in graphs. The results indicated that 30 teachers accepted to participate in the study with female predominance (67%). The regions most affected in the last 12 months were: dorsal (60%), lumbar (53%), neck, shoulders, wrists and hands (47%). Of the teachers interviewed, 20% reported having had difficulties in routine activities due to discomfort in the cervical region and 27% reported having sought medical or physiotherapeutic care due to neck pain, while 20% due to pain in the shoulders, dorsal, wrist/hands and hip/thighs. As for the occurrence of symptoms in the last week, the regions with the highest frequency of pain were shoulders (40%), neck and dorsal (27%). The significant percentage in the regions cited certifies that they are the regions most burdened in the professors and, therefore, deserve special attention in possible projects of occupational preventive action. This research evidences the necessity of new approaches and deepening on the subject, including the formulation of intervention strategies in the process of sickness of teachers.
