    Cursos e Congresos, C-155[Abstract] In the day-to-day work of bioinformatics, the use of integrated software packages, which encompass a wide range of tools, enables the development of pipelines for omics data analysis. Within the various existing pipelines, we focus on the analysis of the 16S rRNA gene as it allows for the study of diversity and taxonomy of prokaryotic microorganisms such as Bacteria and Archaea. However, these pipelines often involve a sequence of multiple tools that require intermediate steps before further processing can proceed, as in the case between Cutadapt and DADA2. In fact, in a typical pipeline, the values for DADA2 input arguments ’trunc-len-f’ and ’trunc-len-r’ are extracted from the output of Cutadapt. The best approach for selecting optimal values (aka the trimming positions) is graphically visualizing Cutadapt output and manually selecting the most accurate trimming position length. Therefore, we propose the automation of this specific intermediate step between Cutadapt and DADA2 tools, by selecting values displayed in the graphs that meet the filtering criteria. This automation has been incorporated into a custom pipeline for the analysis of the microbiome in 16S paired-end samples from colorectal cancer patients, and could potentially serve as a standardization approach in these processesThe authors of this paper extend their sincere appreciation to the collaborative efforts and contributions of the meiGAbiome Group, aswell as the entire team of medical and anatomopathologists. Finally, we are deeply grateful to the patients whose selfless donations have made this and numerous other studies possibl

    Abstract: This paper examines the use of technology by faculty at the higher education level. The data used was from a case study of a liberal arts college in the Northeastern United States. It examines whether there is a difference in use of technology for assessment purposes and instructional purposes based on age or gender. This study found there is no significant difference between genders regarding their use technology for assessment or instructional purposes, nor was there a difference between age groups and their use of technology for assessment purposes. The data did reveal interesting indications that suggested the possibility of age influencing the degree to which technology is used for instructional purposes. Namely, educators above the age of 55 used technology more often than educators between the ages of 40 and 55

    Impact of gastroplasty on salivary characteristics, dental health status and oral sensory aspects: A controlled clinical study

    Background: Saliva is a non-invasive source of biomarkers useful in the study of different pathophysiological conditions. The qualitative and quantitative study of saliva, as well as the assessment of oral health, can be particularly useful for a better understanding of obesity due to its importance in the food oral perception and ingestion. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of treatment of morbid obesity (dietary counselling versus gastroplasty) on salivary characteristics, oral sensory perception and dental health in a controlled study. Methods: Seventy-three adults (60 females; 19–59 years) with morbid obesity were divided in: Control group (CG; n = 34) followed-up during a 6-months dietary programme, and Gastroplasty group (GG; n = 39) evaluated immediately before, 3 and 6 months after gastroplasty. Dietary habits, Oral Health Impact Profile and xerostomia complaints were investigated by interview. The clinical examination included anthropometric and caries experience evaluation. Salivary flow rate, buffering capacity, total protein and alpha-amylase levels, and sensitivity for the four basic tastes were assessed. Two-way mixed model and sign test were applied. Results: Physical and clinical aspects did not differ between groups in the beginning of the study, and GG showed a rapid weight loss after surgery (p <.001). An improvement in most of the dietary aspects was observed, especially in the GG. A worsening in the dental health status was observed over time in both groups, with an increase in the number of filled and decayed teeth. CG showed a better oral health-related quality of life, while xerostomia complains increased in GG after gastroplasty. Salivary flow rate remained stable in both groups, but a decrease in buffering capacity, total protein and alpha-amylase activity was observed in GG after 6-months; taste sensitivity increased from baseline to 6-months in GG

    Decision analysis-a systematic approach to solving complex problems-offers tools and frameworks to support decision making that are increasingly being applied to environmental challenges. Alternatives analysis is a method used in regulation and product design to identify, compare, and evaluate the safety and viability of potential substitutes for hazardous chemicals.Assess whether decision science may assist the alternatives analysis decision maker in comparing alternatives across a range of metrics.A workshop was convened that included representatives from government, academia, business, and civil society and included experts in toxicology, decision science, alternatives assessment, engineering, and law and policy. Participants were divided into two groups and prompted with targeted questions. Throughout the workshop, the groups periodically came together in plenary sessions to reflect on other groups' findings.We conclude the further incorporation of decision science into alternatives analysis would advance the ability of companies and regulators to select alternatives to harmful ingredients, and would also advance the science of decision analysis.We advance four recommendations: (1) engaging the systematic development and evaluation of decision approaches and tools; (2) using case studies to advance the integration of decision analysis into alternatives analysis; (3) supporting transdisciplinary research; and (4) supporting education and outreach efforts
