QUALIDADE PERCEBIDA NO USO DAS CORES EM UMA CLÍNICA DE PSICOLOGIA VOLTADA PARA ADULTOS

Este estudo buscou averiguar a qualidade percebida no uso das cores a fim de entender e aplicar suas propriedades no design de interiores de estabelecimentos assistenciais de saúde. Ele procurou na história o uso da cor como elemento terapêutico, exemplificando experimentos realizados por teóricos, designers e psicólogos nos dias atuais, verificando a qualidade cromática percebida, por meio do significado e das sensações que cada cor transmite aos usuários do ambiente em que a cor foi trabalhada. Com base na compreensão da influência desse elemento, este trabalho apresenta uma proposta de uso de cores no design de interiores de uma clínica de psicologia voltada para adultos

Foam mat drying of Tommy Atkins mango: Effects of air temperature and concentrations of soy lecithin and carboxymethylcellulose on phenolic composition, mangiferin, and antioxidant capacity

In this study, foam mat drying was applied to Tommy Atkins mango. Using a multifactorial design, the effect of soy lecithin (L) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) used as foam stabilizers (0–1.50 g/100 g), as well as temperature (T) (53–87 °C), on phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of mango were eval- uated. Mango pulp contains antioxidant, such as mangiferin, that can be utilized in foods to enhance their functional properties. Our results indicated that L and T had negative effects (p < 0.05) on the phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, whereas CMC had a positive effect (p < 0.05). Increasing the total amount of phenolic compounds present in dried mango contributed to the higher antioxidant capacity after the drying process. This study concluded that a drying T of 80 °C, and a concentration of 0.30 g/100 g of CMC and L are optimal for increased retention of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity.Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ)-E-26/111.710/201

Relevant genetic differentiation among Brazilian populations of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera, Tephritidae)

We used a population genetic approach to detect the presence of genetic diversity among six populations of A. fraterculus across Brazil. To this aim, we used Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers, which may capture the presence of differentiative processes across the genome in distinct populations. Spatial analyses of molecular variance were used to identify groups of populations that are both genetically and geographically homogeneous while also being maximally differentiated from each other. The spatial analysis of genetic diversity indicates that the levels of diversity among the six populations vary significantly on an eco-geographical basis. Particularly, altitude seems to represent a differentiating adaptation, as the main genetic differentiation is detected between the two populations present at higher altitudes and the other four populations at sea level. The data, together with the outcomes from different cluster analyses, identify a genetic diversity pattern that overlaps with the distribution of the known morphotypes in the Brazilian area.Fil: Manni, Mosè.

Not endemic after all: Imparipecten Freeman, 1961 (Diptera: Chironomidae) described from the Neotropical Region

Imparipecten, a previously monotypic genus, was considered endemic to Australia. Here, we report Imparipecten from the Neotropical region for the first time and describe Imparipecten sychnacanthus sp. n. from Brazil. The association between larvae and adults was established by sequencing a fragment of one ribosomal gene (28S), two fragments of a nuclear protein-coding gene (CAD1 and CAD4), and one mitochondrial protein-coding gene (COI). We also show the close molecular proximity with Imparipecten pictipes through analyses of genetic distances and Bayesian phylogenetics. Copyright © 2018 Magnolia Press

Condição de urgência odontológica e fatores associados em trabalhadores da construção civil: Bahia, 2008

INTRODUÇÃO: O ramo da construção civil lidera as taxas de acidentes de trabalho e a sua força produtiva caracteriza-se por empregar, a baixo custo, um número significativo de força de trabalho masculina com reduzido nível de escolaridade. Em relação à saúde bucal, percebe-se que este grupo apresenta problemas bucais relevantes, que podem culminar em urgências odontológicas. OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a condição de urgência odontológica e os fatores sociodemográficos associados, em trabalhadores da construção civil de empresas de Salvador-BA e região metropolitana, atendidos pelo SESI-BA. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Conduziu-se um estudo transversal com dados de 1057 trabalhadores, examinados no ano de 2008. Procedeu-se à análise descritiva de indicadores sociodemográficos e indicadores de saúde bucal, e ao teste de associação do qui-quadrado. A análise multivariada foi realizada e todas as variáveis que mostraram significância estatística com um p < 0,15 foram consideradas no modelo saturado da Análise de Regressão de Poisson Robusta. RESULTADO: Observou-se um percentual de 14% de condição de urgência e associação positiva com alta atividade de cárie (RP = 1,98 IC95% 1,32-2,64 p = 0,00) e menor grau de escolaridade (RP = 1,48 IC95% 1,01-1,95 p = 0,04). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados mostram a necessidade do desenvolvimento de ações para tratamento dos problemas bucais instalados e ações de prevenção e promoção em saúde para melhorar a condição de saúde bucal de trabalhadores da construção civil

Identifying anastrepha (Diptera; Tephritidae) species using DNA barcodes

Molecular identification of fruit flies in the genus Anastrepha (Diptera;Tephritidae) is important to support plant pest exclusion, suppression, and outbreak eradication. Morphological methods of identification of this economically important genus are often not sufficient to identify species when detected as immature life stages. DNA barcoding a segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene has been proposed as a method to identify pests in the genus.The identification process for these fruit flies, however, has not been explained in prior DNA barcode studies. DNA barcode methods assume that available DNA sequence records are biologically meaningful. These records, however, can be limited to the most common species or lack population-level measurements of diversity for pests. In such cases, the available data used as a reference are insufficient for completing an accurate identification. Using 539 DNA sequence records from 74 species of Anastrepha, we demonstrate that our barcoding data can distinguish four plant pests: Anastrepha grandis (Macquart) (Diptera; Tephritidae), Anastrepha ludens (Loew), Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann), and Anastrepha striata Schiner.This is based on genetic distances of barcode records for the pests and expert evaluation of species and population representation in the data set. DNA barcoding of the cytochrome oxidase I gene alone cannot reliably diagnose the pests Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann), Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart), and Anastrepha suspensa (Loew). © 2018 Oxford University Press.

Production of phycobiliproteins by Arthrospira platensis under different lightconditions for application in food products

There has been an increase in investment in research on new sources of natural pigments for food application. Some cyanobacteria can change the structures responsible for light harvesting and cellular processes according to the wavelength and light intensity. This phenomenon has been described as complementary chromatic adaptation. The present study aimed to investigate the growth of Arthrospira platensis using different light qualities, irradiance, and wavelength by evaluating the production of biomass, proteins, and phycobiliproteins. The occurrence of the chromatic adaptation phenomenon in this cyanobacterium was also investigated. The microorganism used in this study, A. platensis, was grown in a Zarrouk medium under three irradiance levels, 50, 100, and 150 μmol fotons.m–2.s–1 with illumination provided by white and green fluorescent lamps. The condition of 150 µmol fotons.m–2.s–1 white light was the one that promoted the highest biomass production of A. platensis cultures (2115.24 mg.L–1). There was no difference in the production of total protein and total phycobiliproteins under the studied conditions. It is likely that the large supply of nitrogen in the Zarrouk medium was sufficient for cell growth and maintenance, and it supplied the production of accessory pigments composed of protein. Finally, there was no evidence of the complementary chromatic adaptation phenomenon in A. platensis cultivated under green light. Moreover, this condition did not increase phycocyanin production
