    The objective of the study is to analyze the economic feasibility of implementation of the Multipurpose Cadastre, as aid instrument in urban and fiscal management. Therefore, it took by reference to a medium-sized municipality (standard South, Brazil), luffed up investment and calculated the increase in collection of property tax and urban land – IPTU. From this data, it calculated the time for recovery of the amount invested (Payback), and the increase in revenues in the period. The results showed that the project is potentially viable from an economic-financial point of view. In addition, the adopted calculation methodology can be replicated in other cases and may serve as auxiliary mechanism in decision making on the use of this tool, which demonstrates relevance and practical study value, contributing to the modernization and democratization of management, with retaining the parameters of Public Governance

    A combinação de uma dieta para redução de peso corporal com exercício físico (EF) pode resultar em menor diminuição de massa magra (MM), quando comparada ao uso da dieta como única estratégia de emagrecimento. Contudo, pouco se conhece sobre a influência dessa combinação na composição química da MM. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar o efeito do EF na composição química da MM de ratos submetidos à restrição alimentar (RA). Trinta e seis ratos Wistar (315 ± 15 g) foram divididos em 6 grupos: sedentário, com dieta ad libitum (S); treinado, com dieta ad libitum (T); S, com RA de 25% (RA25%); S, com RA de 50% (RA50%); T, com RA de 25% (T + RA25%) e T, com RA de 50% (T + RA50%). O experimento durou seis semanas e o treinamento utilizado foi a natação, com sobrecarga de 5% do peso corporal, cinco sessões/semana de 60 minutos cada. Foram avaliadas a composição química da carcaça e a concentração de glicogênio e de proteína no músculo gastrocnêmio dos animais. O percentual de proteína da carcaça e a concentração de proteína do músculo gastrocnêmio dos animais dos grupos T + RA25% e T + RA50% foram menores (pThe combination of a diet for body weight reduction with physical exercise (PE) can result in a smaller decrease in lean mass ((LM) compared to the use of a diet as the single strategy for weight loss. However, little is known about the influence of this combination on LM composition. On this basis, the objective of the present study was to determine the effect of PE on LM composition in rats submitted to food restriction (FR). Thirty-six Wistar rats (315 ± 15 g) were divided into the following 6 equal groups: sedentary with an ad libitum diet (S); trained, with an ad libitum diet (T); S, with 25% FR (FR25%); S, with 50% FR (FR50%); T, with FR25% (T + FR25%), and T with FR50% (T + FR50%). The experiment lasted six weeks and the training used was swimming with an overload of 5% of body weight, five sessions/week of 60 minutes each. The chemical composition of the carcass and the concentration of glycogen and protein in the gastrocnemius muscle of the animals were determined. The percentage of protein in the carcass and the concentration of protein in the gastrocnemius muscle were lower (

    Avaliação de extratos vegetais em formulações farmacêuticas no tratamento da otite externa canina

    A otite externa é um dos problemas mais frequentes dentro da dermatologia veterinária. Os produtos comerciais comumente utilizados apresentam antimicrobianos nas formulações, que podem induzir resistência bacteriana em casos crônicos ou recidivantes. Desta forma, os produtos otológicos compostos por extratos vegetais tornam-se uma alternativa viável e com menos efeitos deletérios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial terapêutico de duas formas farmacêuticas a base de extratos vegetais das plantas urucum (Bixa orellana) e trigo (Triticum aestivum) no tratamento da otite externa canina. Extratos oleosos de urucum e trigo foram usados na formulação do composto LCFO 1001 e extratos etanólicos das mesmas plantas foram usados para o composto LCFO 1002. Foram utilizados 44 cães com sinais clínicos de otite externa, os quais foram avaliados por otoscopia e citologia. Os cães foram divididos aleatoriamente em 3 grupos LCFO 1001 (n=16), LCFO 1002 (n=14) e grupo controle (n=14) sendo tratados uma vez ao dia durante 10 dias e reavaliados nos dias 3, 5, 7 e 10. Foi estabelecido um score de 0 a 3 de acordo com cada sinal clínico. Após 10 dias de tratamento houve redução dos sinais clínicos em todos os grupos, observou-se a equivalência dos compostos LCF0 1001 e LCFO 1002 com um produto ceruminolítico comercial. Também foi possível observar a redução no número de animais infectados por Malassezia pachydermatis e Staphylococcus pseudointermedius. Estes resultados comprovam que os compostos possuem ação na redução dos sinais clínicos da otite externa canina, assim como possuem ação antimicrobiana

    Development and analysis of the Soil Water Infiltration Global database

    In this paper, we present and analyze a novel global database of soil infiltration measurements, the Soil Water Infiltration Global (SWIG) database. In total, 5023 infiltration curves were collected across all continents in the SWIG database. These data were either provided and quality checked by the scientists who performed the experiments or they were digitized from published articles. Data from 54 different countries were included in the database with major contributions from Iran, China, and the USA. In addition to its extensive geographical coverage, the collected infiltration curves cover research from 1976 to late 2017. Basic information on measurement location and method, soil properties, and land use was gathered along with the infiltration data, making the database valuable for the development of pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for estimating soil hydraulic properties, for the evaluation of infiltration measurement methods, and for developing and validating infiltration models. Soil textural information (clay, silt, and sand content) is available for 3842 out of 5023 infiltration measurements ( ∼ 76%) covering nearly all soil USDA textural classes except for the sandy clay and silt classes. Information on land use is available for 76% of the experimental sites with agricultural land use as the dominant type ( ∼ 40%). We are convinced that the SWIG database will allow for a better parameterization of the infiltration process in land surface models and for testing infiltration models. All collected data and related soil characteristics are provided online in *.xlsx and *.csv formats for reference, and we add a disclaimer that the database is for public domain use only and can be copied freely by referencing it. Supplementary data are available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.885492 (Rahmati et al., 2018). Data quality assessment is strongly advised prior to any use of this database. Finally, we would like to encourage scientists to extend and update the SWIG database by uploading new data to it

    Chinchilla lanigera é um roedor proveniente do Chile e sua criação é com fins comerciais. As doenças parasitárias, principalmente giardíase podem causar problemas clínicos e sanitários, causando perdas produtivas e econômicas. Foram colhidas amostras de fezes de 220 chinchilas de uma criação comercial no sul do Brasil e 35 amostras de chinchilas da Reserva Nacional las Chinchillas no Chile, e submetidas ao método de Faust e colaboradores. O total de amostras positivas para cistos de Giardia sp. foi de 31,37%(80/255); da criação comercial foi de 36,36%(80/220). O número de amostras que apresentaram mais de 5 cistos/campo foi 4,55%(10/220). Todas as amostras dos animais da Reserva foram negativas. Não houve associação entre a positividade e a faixa etária dos animais analisados.Chinchilla lanigera is a rodent native to Chile which is bred for commercial purposes. Parasitic diseases, mainly giardiasis, may cause clinical and sanitary problems and lead to production and economic losses. Fecal samples were collected from 220 chinchillas pertaining to a commercial breeding facility in southern Brazil and from 35 chinchillas from Las Chinchillas National Reserve in Chile. All samples were analyzed using the method proposed by Faust et al. Positive samples for Giardia cysts amounted to 31.37% (80/255); 36.36% (80/220) was recovered from the commercial breeding facility. The rate of samples with over 5 cysts/field was equivalent to 4.55% (10/220). All of the samples collected from the National Reserve were negative for Giardia sp. No association was found between positive rates for Giardia sp. and the age of chinchillas
