    The teaching of practical subjects such as PPC (Production Planning and Control) can be enhanced through the use of suitable educational software as it engenders aspects of dynamism and interactivity in the learning process. The present article aims to develop a webibliomining analysis in order to expose the theoretical framework and to explain the state of art of research related to PPC in scientific literature. The key content of PPC topics will be used as a guideline for the development of an specific educational software framework. As for the methodology, bibliographic and bibliometric research resources were used to compose the webibliomining analysis, thus making the article acquire the character of qualitative and quantitative research. The renowned Web of Science database and Nails software were used in order to formulate and prioritize the PPC content. As a result of this, the product of the article consists of the framework of the referred software which has highly relevant content because it is aligned with the inputs generated by the use of webibliomining resource as a facilitating tool on content selection of PPC subjects seeking to increase the learning process efficiency by students of engineering and business at Brazilian universities

    2001 SN263-the contribution of their irregular shapes on the neighbourhood dynamics

    The first proposed Brazilian mission to deep space, the ASTER mission, has the triple asteroid system (153591) 2001 SN263 as a target. One of the mission's main goals is to analyse the physical and dynamical structures of the system to understand its origin and evolution. This work aims to analyse how the asteroid's irregular shape interferes with the stability around the system. The results show that the irregular shape of the bodies plays an important role in the dynamics nearby the system. For instance, the perturbation due to the (153591) 2001 SN263 Alpha's shape affects the stability in the (153591) 2001 SN263 Gamma's vicinity. Similarly, the (153591) 2001 SN263 Beta's irregularity causes a significant instability in its nearby environment. As expected, the prograde case is the most unstable, while the retrograde scenario presents more stability. Additionally, we investigate how the solar radiation pressure perturbs particles of different sizes orbiting the triple system. We found that particles with a 10-50 cm radius could survive the radiation pressure for the retrograde case. Meanwhile, to resist solar radiation, the particles in prograde orbit must be larger than the particles in retrograde orbits, at least one order of magnitude.This study was financed in part by the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES), in the scope of the Program CAPES-PrInt, process number 88887.310463/2018-00, International Cooperation Project number 3266, Fundaçao de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP) - Proc. 2016/24561-0 and Proc. 2019/23963-5, Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) - Proc. 305210/2018-1.

    Acute effects of three different stretching protocols on the Wingate test performance

    The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of different stretching exercises on the performance of the traditional Wingate test (WT). Fifteen male participants performed five WT; one for familiarization (FT), and the remaining four after no stretching (NS), static stretching (SS), dynamic stretching (DS), and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Stretches were targeted for the hamstrings, quadriceps, and calf muscles. Peak power (PP), mean power (MP), and the time to reach PP (TP) were calculated. The MP was significantly lower when comparing the DS (7.7 ± 0.9 W/kg) to the PNF (7.3 ± 0.9 W/kg) condition (p \u3c 0.05). For PP, significant differences were observed between more comparisons, with PNF stretching providing the lowest result. A consistent increase of TP was observed after all stretching exercises when compared to NS. The results suggest the type of stretching, or no stretching, should be considered by those who seek higher performance and practice sports that use maximal anaerobic power

    From Compact Discs to Streaming: A Comparison of Eras within the Brazilian Market

    The music industry has undergone many changes in the last few decades, notably since vinyl, cassettes and compact discs faded away as streaming platforms took the world by storm. This Digital evolution has made huge volumes of data about music consumption available. Based on such data, we perform cross-era comparisons between Physical and Digital media within the music market in Brazil. First, we build artists' success time series to detect and characterize hot streak periods, defined as high-impact bursts that occur in sequence, in both eras. Then, we identify groups of artists with distinct success levels by applying a cluster analysis based on hot streaks' features. We find the same clusters for both Physical and Digital eras: Spike Hit Artists, Big Hit Artists, and Top Hit Artists. Our results reveal significant changes in the music industry dynamics over the years by identifying the core of each era

    Impactos ecológicos e socioambientais da transição agroecológica para produção orgânica de leite em Sidrolândia-MS.

    Resumo: Objetivou-se avaliar os Impactos Ecológicos e Socioambientais da Transição Agroecológica para produção orgânica de Leite em Sidrolândia-MS pelo método Ambitec de produção animal, desenvolvido pela Embrapa Meio Ambiente. Foram avaliadas oito unidades de produção familiar, no Assentamento Eldorado II, entre os anos de 2012 a 2014. O processo de transição agroecológica resultou num impacto socioambiental e ecológico positivo. O índice de impacto geral médio para o sistema convencional foi de ?=-0,55 e para o sistema orgânico foi de ?=3,82. As maiores contribuições foram relacionadas aos efeitos positivos ecológicos dos seguintes indicadores que na produção orgânica apresentaram: ?Qualidade do solo? (?=4,69) e ?consumo de energia? (?=-1,00). Nos efeitos positivos socioambientais foram ?Bem estar e saúde animal? (?=13,69) e ?Dedicação e perfil do responsável? (?=10,06). O percentual de incremento da tecnologia da transição para a produção orgânica foi de 14,55%. Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the ecological and socio-environmental impacts of transition to organic milk production in Sidrolândia-MS, using the method Ambitec of animal production, developed by Embrapa Meio Ambiente. Eight family production units were evaluated in the settlement Eldorado II, between the years from 2012 to 2014. The ecological transition process resulted in positive socio-environmental and ecological impact. The index of average overall impact to the conventional system was ?=0.55 and for the organic system was ?= 3.82. The major contributions were related to the positive effects of the ecological indicators in organic production presented: "soil quality" (?= 4.69) and "energy consumption" (?= -1.00). The positive socio-environmental effects were ?animal welfare? (?=13.69) and "Devotion and person responsible profile? (?= 10.06). The technology increase percentage of the transition to organic production was 14.55%.Edição do 1o. Seminário de Agroecologia da América do Sul; 5o.
