Los espacios, la comunicación y la política. Reflexiones sobre las crónicas periodísticas de la pandemia 2020 en la televisión argentina

AbstractDuring a pandemic, there are other ways of living and inhabiting space in a time that accelerates in the work of doctors and governments, and slows down in the daily life of the population in general. Societies are mediated and what happens is known through the media. The global health catastrophe is an obligatory agenda and television is its ideal medium: image, movement, sound, the faces of the pandemic are on the screens moment after moment. The routines of journalistic work make it possible to work in extreme situations and the information on the facts is given as usual. Television coverage is strange, but it is legitimized because television always reaches places that audiences cannot access. Television news responds to spectacularization to explain a dense present of confinements, masks, recommendations, decrees, claims, dismissal operations, violent speeches and different ways of inhabiting places in a harsh articulation with politics. In this work, the television agenda on the pandemic and its effects are problematized from a territorial perspective of media discursivities. And because it is a real-time investigation, it reflects on how to deal with a problem of highseverity while it is happening.En época de pandemia, hay otros modos de vivir y de habitar el espacio en un tiempo que se acelera en la tarea de médicos y gobernantes, y se ralentiza en la cotidianeidad de la población en general. Las sociedades están mediatizadas, lo que ocurre se conoce por los medios. La catástrofe sanitaria global es agenda obligada y la televisión es su medio ideal: imagen, movimiento, sonido, los rostros de la pandemia están en las pantallas momento tras momento. Las rutinas propias del trabajo periodístico posibilitan el trabajo en situaciones límite, se apela a cubrir los hechos como es habitual. La cobertura televisiva resulta extraña, pero se legitima porque la televisión siempre llega a lugares a los que las audiencias no acceden. La noticia televisiva responde a la espectacularización para explicar un presente denso por confinamientos, mascarillas, recomendaciones, decretos, reclamos, operaciones destituyentes, discursos violentos y modos diferentes de habitar los lugares en una dura articulación con la política. En este trabajo, se problematiza la agenda televisiva sobre la pandemia y sus efectosdesde una perspectiva territorial de las discursividades mediáticas.Y porque es una investigación en tiempo real, se reflexiona sobre cómo encarar un problema de alta gravedad mientras está ocurriendo.AbstractDuring a pandemic, there are other ways of living and inhabiting space in a time that accelerates in the work of doctors and governments, and slows down in the daily life of the population in general.

Muscle Asymmetries in the Lower Limbs of Male Soccer Players: Preliminary Findings on the Association between Countermovement Jump and Tensiomyography

Strength and power asymmetries have been observed in different sports, including soccer. Such asymmetries, as well as the bilateral deficit (BLD), can be assessed during different tasks, static or dynamic, and with different methods and devices, in order to detect the possible different aspects, as well as the association with physical performance and injuries. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between muscle asymmetries and BLD during a countermovement jump (CMJ), and tensiomyography (TMG) parameters and asymmetries, in the lower limbs of male soccer players. A total of 23 male soccer players (18 ± 4 years) were recruited. Bilateral and unilateral CMJs were performed, and peak power (W) and height (cm) were obtained. TMG was performed on different muscles of the lower limbs, and lateral and functional symmetries were obtained. Playing position and history of injuries were collected. CMJ inter-limb symmetry was found to significantly correlate with biceps femoris (r = 0.574, p = 0.004) and soleus (r = 0.437, p = 0.037) lateral symmetry. Players in central roles presented significantly worse functional symmetry scores of the knee than defense players (−17.5%, 95% CI −31.2–−3.9; p = 0.10). Participants reporting a history of injury at the ankle were characterized by significantly lower functional symmetry in both the dominant (43%, 39.5–48.0 vs. 74.5%, 46.5–89.3, p = 0.019) and non-dominant (45%, 42.5–46.0 vs. 81.0%, 45.8–90.3, p = 0.024) ankle. Findings from this preliminary study suggest an association between lower-limb muscle asymmetries during a dynamic task, such as jumping, and muscle contractile properties evaluated with TMG; moreover, functional asymmetries may be present after ankle injuries. Future studies in larger samples should evaluate the presence of such asymmetries as predictors or characteristics of different muscular and joint injuries

DEVELOPMENT OF A BISCUIT FROM BEER RESIDUES

In the beer-making process, is the disposal of raw material used for the preparation of beer wort, known as bagasse malt or beer bagasse. The presence of fiber, protein residue and sugars, makes this bagasse with potential for use in products developed in baking, such as loaves of bread and biscuits, where the increase, especially in fiber, beneficial to the consumer from a nutritional point of view and functionality, reinforce the need to explore their technological potential in order to provide the consumer differentiated products, competitive market and special features enhancing health. To explore the possibility of using a residue rich in fiber, malt bagasse it, this study aimed to assess the technological potential of the use of malt bagasse as food, as well as the effects of the merger on the sensory and functional qualities the biscuit. For the manufacture of biscuits type cookie, first elaborated the malt bagasse flour. Cookies were designed to replacing wheat flour for malt bagasse flour. We were evaluated physicochemical composition (moisture, ash, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and crude fiber), pH, acidity and activity of water. The sensory evaluation was performed with 30 panelists who evaluated the products in relation to appearance, flavor, odor, texture, using a hedonic scale of nine points. The potential consumers in the sensory analysis showed buying interest in the product. With the results obtained from the cookie and sensory analysis, expected recovery of the waste, increasing its value and bringing benefits to breweries industries and bakery

Geological record of tsunami inundations in Pantano Morghella (south-eastern Sicily) both from near and far-field sources

Abstract. Analysis of tsunami deposits from the Pantano Morghella area provided geological evidence for two inundations occurred along the south-eastern Ionian coast of Sicily. Pantano Morghella is a large pond characterised by a fine-grained sedimentation indicating a low-energy depositional environment. Two anomalous yellow sandy layers found at different depths indicate the occurrence of high-energy marine inundations. We studied sedimentological and paleontological features of the anomalous deposits as well as their spatial distribution observing the following properties: different facies with respect to the local stratigraphic sequence; erosive bases, rip-up clasts and broken elements testifying violent deposition mechanisms; macro and micro fauna of marine environment; relatively constant thickness throughout most of the depositional zone with thinning at the distal end; large sand sheets that extend inland. These observations, jointly with their infrequency in the sedimentary record and the age indicating a fast deposition, provided strong evidence for tsunami inundations. Correlations between anomalous layers and historical tsunamis are supported by radiocarbon and OSL dating results. The younger deposit is likely due to the 1908 near-source tsunami, whereas the flooding of the oldest event is most likely associated with a far and large source, the Crete 365 AD earthquake

Effect of Byrsonima crassa and Phenolic Constituents on Helicobacter pylori-Induced Neutrophils Oxidative Burst

Byrsonima crassa Niedenzu (Malpighiaceae) is used in Brazilian folk medicine for the treatment of diseases related mainly to gastric ulcers. In a previous study, our group described the gastric protective effect of the methanolic extract from the leaves of B. crassa. The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of methanolic extract and its phenolic compounds on the respiratory burst of neutrophils stimulated by H. pylori using a luminol-based chemiluminescence assay as well as their anti-H. pylori activity. The suppressive activity on oxidative burst of H. pylori-stimulated neutrophils was in the order of methyl gallate > (+)-catechin > methanol extract > quercetin 3-O-α-l-arabinopyranoside > quercetin 3-O-β-d-galactopyranoside > amentoflavone. Methyl gallate, compound that induced the highest suppressive activity with IC50 value of 3.4 μg/mL, did not show anti-H. pylori activity. B. crassa could be considered as a potential source of natural antioxidant in gastric ulcers by attenuating the effects on the damage to gastric mucosa caused by neutrophil generated reactive oxygen species, even when H. pylori displays its evasion mechanisms

Strategies of Increased Protein Intake in ELBW Infants Fed by Human Milk Lead to Long Term Benefits

Objective: The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the effects of two different protein intake regimes on feeding tolerance, in-hospital growth, anthropometric data and psychomotor outcome up to 24 months corrected age (CA) in extremely low birth-weight (ELBW; birth weight <1000 g) infants.Methods: During the period 2008–2013, 52 ELBW infants admitted at birth to two Neonatal Intensive Care Units of Emilia Romagna (Italy) were fed according to different protocols of protein fortification of human milk: an estimated protein intakes at maximum fortification levels of 3.5 gr/kg/day in the Standard Nutrition Population-SNP group (n = 26) and 4.8 g/kg/day in the Aggressive Nutrition Population-ANP group (n = 26). During hospitalization, infants' growth, biochemical indices of nutritional status, enteral intake, feeding tolerance, clinical history and morbidity were evaluated. After discharge, anthropometric data and psychomotor outcome, evaluated by Revised Griffiths Mental Development Scales (GMDS-R) 0–2 years, were assessed up to 24 months CA.Results: During hospitalization, the ANP group showed significantly higher weight (18.87 vs. 15.20 g/kg/day) and head circumference (0.70 vs. 0.52 cm/week) growth rates compared to SNP, less days of parenteral nutrition (7.36 ± 2.7 vs. 37.75 ± 29.6) and of hospitalization (60.0 ± 13.3 vs. 78.08 ± 21.32). After discharge, ANP infants had a greater head circumference compared to SNP (45.64 ± 0.29; 46.80 ± 0.31). Furthermore, the General Quotient of GMDS-R mean scores in the SNP group significantly decreased from 12 to 24 months CA, while no difference was seen in the ANP group.Conclusions: Increased protein intake may provide short and long term benefits in terms of growth and neurodevelopment in human milk-fed ELBW infants

Effects of erythropoietin administration on blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion in rats

The effects of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) administration on blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion were studied in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and in SHR rats treated with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (SHR-ACEi). Rats were housed in metabolic cages and treated with rHuEPO (150 U/kg body weight [bw] three times a week) for 6 weeks. Control animals received the vehicle only (0.25 mL of physiological saline). An angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor was administered in the drinking water for 6 weeks (spirapril 5 mg/kg bw). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), and 24 h urinary albumin excretion (UAE) were measured once a week. No significant differences in SBP were observed between rHuEPO and vehicle-treated normotensive animals at the end of the treatment (171.9 +/- 4.9 v 172.1 +/- 5.6 mm Hg, respectively). After 6 weeks, SBP was significantly higher in SHR and SHR-ACEi groups treated with rHuEPO than in control groups (239.8 +/- 7.3 and 243.0 +/- 7.3 mm Hg v 218.1 +/- 6.0 and 187.9 +/- 4.6 mm Hg, respectively); UAE was significantly higher in groups treated with rHuEPO than in control groups (WKY: 265.9 +/- 19.5 v 127.0 +/- 12.3 microg/100 g bw, SHR: 1668.4 +/- 564.6 v 234.8 +/- 22.9 microg/100 g bw, and SHR-ACEi: 1522.7 +/- 448.3 v 143.0 +/- 18.9 microg/100 g bw, respectively). We concluded that erythropoietin treatment causes an increase in arterial pressure in SHR only, and an increase in UAE in both normotensive and hypertensive rats. The albuminuric effect was not entirely dependent on increased blood pressure. The treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor did not modify either the proteinuric or the pressor effects

A interface entre pesquisa e extensão na discussão dos parques lineares como estratégia de requalificação da paisagem urbana

This paper discusses the academic practices of the Programa de Ensino Tutorial (PET – Tutorial Teaching Program), a group composed of Architecture and City Planning students of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (SP). It reports the experiences resulting from an agreement between the University and the Municipal Government of Campinas to devise a linear park project. It seeks to reflect on the potential of such agreements as a means to develop both research and teaching practices based on projects involving different city planning agencies on a city scale. Additionally, it brings forth critical reflections on the creation of linear parks as a strategy to rehabilitate urban landscape and contribute to structure the open space system of the city of Campinas.Este artigo discute as práticas acadêmicas do grupo Programa de Ensino Tutorial no curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas relatando as experiências de um convênio firmado entre a Universidade e a Prefeitura Municipal de Campinas (SP) na elaboração do projeto de um parque linear. Busca-se refletir sobre o potencial de convênios como esse na elaboração de práticas de pesquisa e ensino de projeto que contemplam as diversas instâncias do urbanismo na escala do município. Identificou-se uma oportunidade de refletir criticamente sobre a criação de um parque linear como estratégia de requalificação da paisagem urbana, contribuindo para a estruturação do sistema de espaços livres da cidade de Campinas

AVALIAÇÃO DAS CONDIÇÕES HIGIÊNICO-SANITÁRIAS DE AÇOUGUES DO MUNICÍPIO DE MINEIROS/GO

O Açougue é um estabelecimento comercial de carnes refrigeradas e congeladas, existente a longas décadas. Como prevê a vigilância sanitária, os açougues devem preservar boas condições de ordem e higiene, mantendo um ambiente de trabalho seguro e limpo, sendo importantes para a produção e comércio de alimentos de qualidade, conservar as condições apropriadas dos estabelecimentos promove também o impedimento de microrganismos patogênicos que são prejudiciais a saúde do consumidor. Objetivou-se, com essa pesquisa, avaliar as condições higiênico-sanitárias praticadas em açougues presentes no município de Mineiros/GO. Foram selecionados aleatoriamente 16 açougues, incluindo casas de carne e supermercados, em que foram verificadas as documentações, os aspectos sanitários relacionados à disposição e exposição dos produtos cárneos, a higiene de equipamentos que mantém contato diretamente com o produto comercializado e os pontos críticos ligados ao manipulador de alimentos. Os dados coletados demonstram que boa parte dos mercados de carne e açougues visitados falharam gravemente na maioria dos requisitos avaliados, tanto na documentação básica exigida, como nos materiais de segurança que devem ser utilizados pelos funcionários e nos requisitos de higienização dos equipamentos. Foi observado que os estabelecimentos que foram avaliados tiveram seus resultados como irregulares, ou seja, de algum modo estes não estão em conformidade com as leis regulamentadoras, expondo suas inconformidades com as normas sanitárias e quanto à documentação necessária
