Como método, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura na temática em estudo e, com base nos conceitos estudados e em outros argumentos teóricos, desenvolveu-se esta reflexão sobre as possibilidades de interação e cooperação entre tecnologia, gestão e design

MAPEAMENTO GEOMORFOLÓGICO COMO SUBSÍDIO AO PLANEJAMENTO AMBIENTAL NO MUNICÍPIO DE QUIXADÁ/CE.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar o mapeamento geomorfológico do município de Quixadá, localizado no sertão central do Estado do Ceará, utilizando – o como subsídio ao planejamento ambiental em regiões semiáridas. O mapeamento foi realizado seguindo a metodologia de Ross (1992) tendo como critério a taxonomia do relevo, em escala de 1:40.000. A área foi classificada até o 4° nível taxonômico, onde são evidenciados seus padrões dominantes (ambientes de degradação e agradação)

Multivariate Study Of Nile Tilapia Byproducts Enriched With Omega-3 And Dried With Different Methods

The present work aimed at studying the effect of different drying methods applied to tilapia byproducts (heads, viscera and carcasses) fed with flaxseed, verifying the contents of omega-3 fatty acids. Two diets were given to the tilapia: a control and a flaxseed formulation, over the course of 60 days. After this period, they were slaughtered and their byproducts (heads, viscera and carcasses) were collected. These fish parts were analyzed in natura, lyophilized and oven dried. Byproducts from tilapia fed with flaxseed presented docosapentaenoic, eicopentaenoic and docosahexanoic fatty acids as a result of the enzymatic metabolism of the fish. The byproducts from the oven drying process had lower levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the multivariate analysis, the byproducts from fish fed with flaxseed had a greater composition of fatty acids. The addition of flaxseed in fish diets, as well as the utilization of their byproducts, may become a good business strategy. Additionally, the byproducts may be dried to facilitate transport and storage. © 2016 Sociedade Brasileira de Ciencia e Tecnologia de Alimentos, SBCTA. All rights reserved.361182

Avaliação Da Assistência Oftalmológica Na Perspectiva Dos Usuários

The prevalence of need of, access to, and dissatisfaction with ophthalmic assistance was estimated among those who were assisted in such services in the last year; factors associated with dissatisfaction were identified. Complex probabilistic sample was used. A descriptive, bivariate, and multiple analysis with correction for design effect was conducted. Of 2.582 participants, 76% needed assistance and, of those, 82.5% possessed access to it. Among patients who received assistance in the last year, 13.1% were dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction was higher among older patients, those who went walking or cycling to the location of assistance, and those who described the following aspects as regular/bad/terrible: being received and treated with respect, the clarity with which the service provider explained things, and their autonomy to choose their provider of ophthalmic assistance. Most of them was in need of and possessed access to assistance. Dissatisfaction was low. Patient’s age, means of transport used to get to the local of the assistance, patient-professional relationship, and autonomy to choose are factors that interfere for the outcome of dissatisfaction. © 2016, Assocaicao Brasileira de Pos, Gradacao em Saude Coletiva.

Phytoestrogen agathisflavone ameliorates neuroinflammation-induced by LPS and IL-1β and protects neurons in cocultures of glia/neurons

Inflammation and oxidative stress are common aspects of most neurodegenerative diseases in the central nervous system. In this context, microglia and astrocytes are central to mediating the balance between neuroprotective and neurodestructive mechanisms. Flavonoids have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Here, we have examined the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential of the flavonoid agathisflavone (FAB), which is derived from the Brazilian plant Poincianella pyramidalis, in in vitro models of neuroinflammation. Cocultures of neurons/glial cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 µg/mL) or interleukin (IL)-1β (10 ng/mL) for 24 h and treated with FAB (0.1 and 1 µM, 24 h). FAB displayed a significant neuroprotective effect, as measured by nitric oxide (NO) production, Fluoro-Jade B (FJ-B) staining, and immunocytochemistry (ICC) for the neuronal marker β-tubulin and the cell death marker caspase-3, preserving neuronal soma and increasing neurite outgrowth. FAB significantly decreased the LPS-induced microglial proliferation, identified by ICC for Iba-1/bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and CD68 (microglia M1 profile marker). In contrast, FAB had no apparent effect on astrocytes, as determined by ICC for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Furthermore, FAB protected against the cytodestructive and proinflammatory effects of IL-1β, a key cytokine that is released by activated microglia and astrocytes, and ICC showed that combined treatment of FAB with α and β estrogen receptor antagonists did not affect NF-κB expression. In addition, qPCR analysis demonstrated that FAB decreased the expression of proinflammatory molecules TNF-α, IL-1β, and connexins CCL5 and CCL2, as well as increased the expression of the regulatory molecule IL-10. Together, these findings indicate that FAB has a significant neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effect in vitro, which may be considered as an adjuvant for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases

Regularization Independent Analysis of the Origin of Two Loop Contributions to N=1 Super Yang-Mills Beta Function

We present a both ultraviolet and infrared regularization independent analysis in a symmetry preserving framework for the N=1 Super Yang-Mills beta function to two loop order. We show explicitly that off-shell infrared divergences as well as the overall two loop ultraviolet divergence cancel out whilst the beta function receives contributions of infrared modes.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, typos correcte

TEMPO NECESSÁRIO PARA NOVILHAS NELORE CRIADAS A PASTO, GANHAREM 210, 240, 270 KG DESDE O NASCIMENTO

O objetivo foi avaliar o número de dias para novilhas da raça Nelore (4.577) ganharem 210, 240 e 270 kg a partir do nascimento, criadas em regime de pasto. Para as análises estatísticas, utilizou-se o método dos quadrados mínimos. O modelo continha os efeitos fixos de mês e ano de nascimento da novilha e a idade da mãe como covariável; como efeito aleatório, touro aninhado dentro de fazenda e o erro. As respostas mostraram que é possível desafiar fêmeas mais jovens, com pesos menores, quando lhes são asseguradas boas condições nutricionais, e assim permitir que seu crescimento não seja interrompido. Days from birth to get 210, 240, 270 kg for nellore heifers on grazing Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the number of days for 4,577 nellore heifers raised in regimen of grass to get 210, 240 and 270 kg of weight since the birth. For statistical analyses, the square means method was used. The model contained the fixed effects from helfer´s month and year of birth and the dam´s age as co-variable; as random effect, bull sheltered inside the farm and the error. The results showed that it is possible to challenge younger females, with lower weight, when good nutritional conditions are assured, allowing uninterrupted growth
