How to perform oracle database 11g version update to oracle database 19C

Due to the discontinuity of support for one of the database versions most used by organizations, Oracle Database 11g, it is important that companies that still use this version, pay attention to the next upgrade from Oracle. This work was elaborated by means of exploratory research, using as methods and research techniques the documentary and bibliographic analysis, with the purpose of providing steps with techniques and methods of how to proceed with two oracle projects, one of migration from the Linux operating system Red Hat 4.4.7-3 for Oracle Linux 7.7, and a version upgrade from Oracle Database 11g to Oracle Database 19c, presenting strategies using tools and following Oracle\u27s recommendations. This study was built based on real demands that companies have been facing with this great dilemma, the discontinuity of support for the Oracle database 11g version. The observed results were, official support from Oracle, architectural change in order to be prepared for a supposed intervention with updating and migration of services to the cloud

Modulation of gene expression in mice treated with sugar and whey protein isolate / Modulação da expressão gênica em camundongos tratados com açúcar e isolado de proteína de soro de leite

This study compared the effects of three different types of diets (regular diet, high in sugar diet and high in sugar plus whey protein isolate supplementation diet) in mice. After 3 months, gene expression in liver and in adipose tissue was measured. We found that diets influenced in gene expression, but not supplementation. However, supplementation showed an anorectic effect, and protected animals from hepatic steatosis. In addition, the diets did not influence the myeloperoxidase activity in the adipose tissue, showing little influence on the infiltration of white cells in this tissue

Sistema para correção de trabalhos acadêmicos

A elaboração de provas nas disciplinas de programação, por parte dos alunos, faz com que haja uma falta de padronização nos arquivos a serem enviados ao professor. Com foco neste problema, este trabalho busca o desenvolvimento de um sistema computacional capaz de configurar os textos elaborados pelos alunos e padronizar os arquivos enviados pelos alunos, possibilitando que o professor receba arquivos organizados e, consequentemente, facilitando o entendimento do trabalho dos alunos por parte do professor. O sistema consiste em um repositório de enunciados, a ser cadastrado pelo professor, sendo que, para cada enunciado, será criada uma pasta onde serão realizados os uploads das respostas dos alunos. Desta forma, todas as respostas serão salvas de forma padronizada e agrupada por prova, e o professor tem a possibilidade de consultar estas provas de forma individual ou por turma. Esta ferramenta, inicialmente, foi criada para atender os alunos responsáveis pelas disciplinas de programação, mas pode ser utilizada por qualquer docente que elabore uma avaliação em formato textual subjetivo. Para tal desenvolvimento, a equipe foi dividida em duas, sendo uma delas responsável pelo levantamento das necessidades/requisitos e elaboração do projeto e outra responsável pela codificação do sistema, cada uma delas orientada por um docente. A ideia é realizar o projeto e sua validação ainda durante o ano de 2022, disponibilizando a versão final para o início do semestre letivo de 2023. O desenvolvimento se mostrou bastante satisfatório, sendo que a aplicação dos aprendizados obtidos durante o ensino médio pôde ser feita de forma eficiente e eficaz. A importância da parte de análise e projeto de forma prévia ao desenvolvimento se mostrou vital para um sistema de qualidade, visto que o desenvolvimento com base apenas na experiência do desenvolvedor gera vícios de desenvolvimento e faz com que as necessidades do cliente não sejam totalmente atendidas. Outra percepção adquirida foi a importância do trabalho colaborativo entre as partes envolvidas, principalmente a equipe de análise, equipe de desenvolvimento e cliente. Pretende-se concluir este trabalho, além da entrega do sistema proposto, com a elaboração de um plano de trabalhos futuros, possibilitando que outra equipe de pesquisadores possa dar continuidade a esta solução

SOFTWARE PARA GERENCIAMENTO DE PROJETO DE CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL

Um software de gerenciamento de projetos pode fazer muita diferença em uma empresa, facilitando a vida do gestor e trazendo praticidade e agilidade. A partir disso, vimos a necessidade de profissionais da construção civil em organizar seus projetos, então tivemos a ideia de desenvolver um software de gerenciamento de projetos voltado para esta área. O mesmo trará um gerenciador de fluxo de caixa registrando o custo de cada etapa da construção de um imóvel, gerando relatórios para o usuário da quantidade e preço de material, da mão de obra e empresas envolvidas, além de calcular o preço a ser vendido de acordo com a taxa de lucro desejada. As informações necessárias serão inseridas pelo usuário e armazenadas em um banco de dados, de acordo com a etapa atual da construção, que futuramente servirá de base para a realização de novos projetos. Para o desenvolvimento deste sistema, bem como para elaboração da interface será utilizada a linguagem de programação Python, e o banco de dados adotado será o MySQL. No decorrer do projeto, aplicaremos o conhecimento adquirido no curso de informática e registraremos todo o processo em um artigo. O prazo para conclusão do projeto é final de 2018, visto que neste ano está previsto a parte de projeto do sistema, e na segunda fase, em 2018, a implementação do mesmo. Palavras-chave: Informática.

Phase Competitions behind the Giant Magnetic Entropy Variation: Gd5Si2Ge2 and Tb5Si2Ge2 Case Studies

Magnetic materials with strong spin-lattice coupling are a powerful set of candidates for multifunctional applications because of their multiferroic, magnetocaloric (MCE), magnetostrictive and magnetoresistive effects. In these materials there is a strong competition between two states (where a state comprises an atomic and an associated magnetic structure) that leads to the occurrence of phase transitions under subtle variations of external parameters, such as temperature, magnetic field and hydrostatic pressure. In this review a general method combining detailed magnetic measurements/analysis and first principles calculations with the purpose of estimating the phase transition temperature is presented with the help of two examples (Gd5Si2Ge2 and Tb5Si2Ge2). It is demonstrated that such method is an important tool for a deeper understanding of the (de)coupled nature of each phase transition in the materials belonging to the R5(Si,Ge)4 family and most possibly can be applied to other systems. The exotic Griffiths-like phase in the framework of the R5(SixGe1-x)4 compounds is reviewed and its generalization as a requisite for strong phase competitions systems that present large magneto-responsive properties is proposed

Bond strength of cemented fiber posts to teeth with simulated internal root resorption

Teeth with internal root resorption (IRR) have guarded prognosis, considering that IRR defect could influence on the post bond strength. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength and the bond interface between different glass fiber-reinforced posts (FRP) after cementation in teeth with simulated internal root resorption (IRR). Forty-five (45) human premolar roots with simulated IRR were embedded in acrylic resin blocks and cross-sectioned into two segments, enabling them to be re-approximated by screws. Intracanal medication was inserted for 15-days, removed by passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and examined by stereomicroscopy. The push-out bond strength of two fiber reinforced composite posts (Rebilda Post - RP) and Rebilda Post GT ? GT, (VOCO) were evaluated at the cervical and IRR regions (n = 20). And, the bonded interface between resin cement and root dentine was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 62.5% of IRR were not completely cleaned by PUI. Bond strength values at the cervical region (9.8 and 14.6 MPa) were higher than the IRR region (6.3 and 4.2 MPa). Micrographies showed bubbles in the cement and spaces in the bonded interface. RP post showed better bond strength at the cervical region while GT had better bond strength at the IRR region

Plant Poisoning Containing Hydrocyanic Acid in Cattle in Southern Brazil

Background: Cyanogenic plants accumulate cyanogenic glycosides and release hydrocyanic acid (HCN). In Brazil, there have been reports of several plants that cause HCN poisoning in animals and lead to a fast death with few clinical signs and lesions on post-mortem examination. Some cultivars of Cynodon spp. grasses cause HCN poisoning in cattle in Brazil. The objectives of this work were to report the occurrence of deaths by HCN poisoning in cattle as diagnosed by the veterinary pathology laboratory, describe the quantity of HCN in some cultivars of Cynodon spp., as well as, to describe one cultivar of genus Cynodonnever reported as poisonous.Materials, Methods & Results: The archives of the Veterinary Pathology Laboratory (LPV) at the Concórdia Campus of the Instituto Federal Catarinense (IFC) were reviewed, seeking cases with a diagnosis of hydrocyanic acid poisoning in cattle after post mortem examination. The amount of HCN present in some cultivars of the Cynodon genus was quantified due to the high frequency of poisoning cases. From the 1,235 post mortem examinations of cattle 28 (2.27%) were diagnosed with spontaneous hydrocyanic acid poisoning, 17 cases (60.7%) due to ingestion of Prunus sp. or Manihot sp., and 11 cases (39.3%) of Cynodon dactylon ingestion. Most animals were found dead, normally having presented no clinical signs. Macroscopic evaluation mainly showed a severe amount of unchewed and undigested leaves or grass mixed in the ruminal content presenting a bitter almond odor. It was possible to infer that, among cultivars of the Cynodon genus, Florakirk showed the highest levels of HCN compared (P < 0.05) with Star of Puerto Rico, Tifton 68, Tifton 44, and Coast-Cross. Furthermore, Tifton 85 and Jiggs showed undetected levels of HCN. Leaves showed the highest HCN levels when comparing different parts of the plant. Regarding conservation methods, hay showed undetectable levels of HCN.Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first description of HCN poisoning in cattle due to ingestion of Cynodon dactylon cultivar Florakirk. This condition is described with a fast-clinical course, with animals found dead with no premonitory clinical signs. Poisoned animals did not develop macroscopic or microscopic specific lesions. Poisoning can be suspected when animals die suddenly, with absence of lesions under necropsy, and large amounts of unchewed and undigested leaves or grass inside their forestomaches. The diagnosis can be established performing the Picrosodic paper test, either in the pasture, or in the ruminal content. Occasionally however, HCN can go undetected when this chemical compound volatilizes between death and necropsy after several hours. Of all the Cynodon cultivars evaluated, Florakirk was the most dangerous for animals. In contrast, Tifton 85 and Jiggs released no HCN. Leaves were the part of the plant presenting the highest concentration of HCN. This is a defense mechanism that the plant develops against the ingestion by animals. This condition can cause great economic losses to farmers with the loss of animals and the need for prevention by using cultivars without HCN or hay, as 2.27% (28) of deaths diagnosed by the Veterinary Pathology Laboratory in the west of Santa Catarina, Brazil, were due to HCN poisoning. Notably, Florakirk cultivar was identified as the most dangerous cultivar tested, with higher levels compared with Tifton 68. The Star of Puerto Rico cultivar showed similar levels of HCN as Tifton 68. Both cultivars are commonly cultivated in many farms in the south of Brazil

Bioassays of 2,4-D with earthworms in different soil classes

Apesar de classificado como extremamente tóxico, com possível ação neurotóxica, caráter teratogênico, e possivelmente carcinogênico, o herbicida 2,4-D ainda é bastante utilizado na agricultura, sendo seus efeitos ao meio ambiente constantemente estudados. O presente trabalho propõe a avaliação da ecotoxicidade deste herbicida em bioensaio com oligoquetas (Eisenia andrei) em quatro tipos de solos. Para tanto, ensaios de toxicidade aguda foram realizados com um solo sedimentar, dois coluvionares e um residual, previamente contaminados com soluções de concentração agronômica de 2,4-D. Não foram observados níveis significativos de mortalidade de animais, sugerindo baixa toxicidade aguda dos solos para os oligoquetas edáficos. Porém, os resultados revelaram que os menores níveis de toxicidade foram atrelados ao aspecto textural e a alta microporosidade, sendo o maior potencial tóxico atribuído ao solo arenoso formado basicamente por quartzo. Esses resultados deverão auxiliar o estabelecimento futuro de valores de referência tóxica capazes de refletir as ocorrências pedológicas brasileiras, subsidiando futuras avaliações de risco ecológico e a tomada de decisão em medidas de saúde ambiental. 2,4-D is a highly toxic herbicide, neurotoxic, teratogenic, possibly carcinogenic  and well-known by its capacity of causing damages on human health and biota. This work proposes the assessment of 2,4-D toxicity levels in four Brazilian soil classes, using bioassays with earthworms (Eisenia andrei). Acute toxicity tests were performed with one sedimentary, two colluvial and one residual soils previously infected with solutions of agronomical concentration. No significant levels of mortality were observed, suggesting low acute toxicity to soil earthworms. However, the results revealed that lower levels of toxicity were linked to the textural appearance and high microporosity. The largest toxic potential was attributed to the quartz sandy soil. Such results may support the future establishment of toxic reference values able to reflect Brazilian pedological occurrences, subsiding future ecological risk assessments and decision-making in actions of environmental health

Forage dynamic accumulation of Axonopusaureus in the Roraima'ss savannaas

O efeito da idade da planta (21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63 e 70 dias) sobre a produção de forragem e características morfogênicas e estruturais de Axonopus aureus, durante o período chuvoso, foi avaliado em condições de campo. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com três repetições. As avaliações foram realizadas no período de maio a agosto de 2009. O aumento da idade da planta resultou em maiores massas de forragem (MF), taxa absoluta de crescimento, número de perfilhos/planta, número de folhas/perfilho, tamanho médio de folhas, índice de área foliar e taxas de expansão e senescência foliar. As relações entre idades da planta com a MF e a taxa absoluta de crescimento da gramínea foram ajustadas ao modelo quadrático, sendo os máximos valores registrados aos 64,3 (1.394 kg/ha de MS) e 47,2 dias (26,62 kg/ha/dia de MS), respectivamente. As taxas de crescimento da cultura, taxa de crescimento relativo, taxas de aparecimento de perfilhos e de folhas foram inversamente proporcionais às idades da planta. Visando conciliar produtividade de forragem com a maximização das características morfogênicas e estruturais da gramínea, o período de descanso mais adequado para pastagens de A. aureus situa-se entre 42 e 49 dias.The effects of plant age (21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63 and 70 days) on forage mass (FM) yield, and morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Axonopus aureus, during rainy season, were evaluated under natural field conditions. The experimental design was a completely randomized, with three replications. Evaluations were carried out during the period of May to August 2009. A FM yield, absolute growth rate (AGR), number of tillers/plant, number of leafs/plant, leaf area index, leaf senescence and elongation rates and blade length increased consistently with growth stage. The relations between FM and AGR with cutting plants age were described by the quadratic regression model. The maximum FM yield and forage production rate performance were estimated at 64.3 (1,394 kg/ha of FM) and 47.2 days of regrowth (26.62 kg/ha/day of FM). The crop growth and relative growth rates, tiller and leaf appearance rates were inversely proportional to cutting plant age. These data suggest that rest period of 42 to 49 days were appropriate for obtain maximum FM yields and improved the grass morphogenetic and structural characteristics
