Impact of bacterial cellulose on the physical properties and printing quality of fine papers

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), due to its inherent nanometric scale and strength properties, can be considered as a good candidate to be used in papermaking. This work explored the possibility of using it in the production of fine paper as a wet-end component and for the paper coating. Filler-containing handsheet production was performed with and without the presence of common additives typically used in the furnish of office papers. It was found that, under optimized conditions, BNC mechanically treated by high-pressure homogenization could improve all the evaluated paper properties (mechanical, optical and structural) without impairing the filler retention. However, paper strength was improved only to a small extent (increase in the tensile index of 8% for a filler content of ca. 27.5%). On the other hand, when used at the paper surface, remarkable improvements in the gamut area of >25% in comparison to the base paper and of >40% in comparison to only-starch coated papers were achieved for a formulation having 50% BNC and 50% of carboxymethylcellulose. Overall, the present results highlight the possibility of using BNC as a paper component, particularly when applied at the paper substrate as a coating agent aiming at improving printing quality.Fundacão para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), Portugal is acknowledged by SFRH/BDE/108095/2015 grant and Strategic Research Centre Project (UIDB/00102/2020).

Perfil do Gestor de Instalações Esportivas do Norte de Portugal

Em Portugal os espaços destinados a prática esportiva estão definidos em lei federal além de possuir um Regime Jurídico proposto pela Confederação do Desporto de Portugal (Portugal, 2009). As Câmaras também possuem regulamentos que estabelecem as normas de funcionamento e utilização das instalações esportivas do município (Castro Marim, 2003)) o que acaba por influenciar o modo como esta instalação será gerida, pois este regulamento é um instrumento administrativo (Cunha, 2007) e muitas das ações e atividades que devem ocorrer na instalação são determinadas por este instrumento. Tendo em vista o crescimento da área de gestão do esporte e considerando-se que o desenvolvimento esportivo se dá pelas condições para a prática esportiva, acreditamos ser relevante a reflexão a respeito dos profissionais que estão encarregados das tarefas de planejamento e administração destes espaços esportivos. Portanto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender o perfil do gestor de instalações esportivas do norte de Portugal através do levantamento, identificação e comparação de pontos relativos a características pessoais, de formação e funcionais. Os resultados encontrados apontam que majoritariamente os ocupantes destes cargos são do sexo masculino, possuem em sua maioria formação em educação física ou desporto e concentram a maioria de suas tarefas em atividades ligadas às áreas de manutenção e oferta e exploração da instalação enquanto que atividades de administração financeira, marketing e promoção são realizadas com menor frequência pelos gestores

Gestão de equipamentos esportivos: análise dos equipamentos do Recife-PE

O desporto constitui uma das grandes construções culturais da humanidade, e seus valores estão agregados à sua prática. Os equipamentos desportivos são fundamentais na malha urbana de qualquer cidade, pois o acesso à prática desportiva perpassa por espaços adequados e diversos para a população. Este estudo analisa a gestão dos Equipamentos Desportivos da Cidade do Recife-PE, Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo qualitativa, que, utiliza a entrevista semiestruturada, com procedimentos de análise de conteúdo do discurso dos gestores entrevistados e da Lei Orgânica e do Plano Diretor da Cidade, interpretados a partir da literatura comum das Ciências Sociais e do Desporto. O estudo conclui, entre outros aspectos, que os equipamentos desportivos do Recife são geridos por um modelo de gestão direta. Há ausência de procedimentos gerenciais fundamentais para a eficácia na gestão dos equipamentos, decorrente da falta de uma equipe especializada e multidisciplinar

Rib Fracture in Buffalo with Ruminal Cannula

Background: Buffalos are very rustic animals that are adapted to adverse conditions, but the lack of adequate management can increase the susceptibility of these animals to several diseases. Rib fracture in this species is usually related to mineral deficiency and complications resulting from unappropriated management. Rib fractures in ruminants are rarely diagnosed and usually present conservative treatment; however, cases with presence of contaminated wounds require extra attention. The objective of this work was to report an atypical case of open fracture of the last rib in a buffalo with ruminal cannula, describing the case from diagnosis to surgical treatment.Case: An adult female water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) that was well fed and receiving minerals, with implantation of a ruminal cannula, presented a lesion around the ruminal cannula, with increasing volume, exudation, and myiasis. Thegeneral parameters and behavior of the animal were apparently normal. The animal presented normal appetite and respiration and good physical condition and nutritional state, with pain reaction to the touch in the region of the lesion andtheir adjacencies; it presented no claudication and reluctance to remain in left lateral decubitus, and no discomfort. The clinical inspection of the cutaneous lesion showed an oblique-type fracture in the body of the last left rib, with exposed bone in the lumbar region and extremity exposed to the ruminal cannula, already presenting necrosis. The region was cleaned, removing larvae (myiasis) for better exposition of the fracture; in the following day, an osteotomy was done to remove exposed bone fragments. A trichotomy, cleaning, and debridement of the lesion and their adjacencies were done, with subsequent sedation and locoregional paralumbar anesthesia with lidocaine for resection of necrotic bone fragments. Cutaneous and muscle syntheses were not done because the region presented permanent contact with the rumen content. The post-operatory management was based on daily cleanings and bandages, with administration of antibiotics every 48 h for 20 days. The total recovery of the animal occurred within 45 days after the surgery.Discussion: Despite rib fractures in buffalos are mainly related to mineral deficiency, the case of the present study showed that these fractures are not always related to pre-existent causes. The clinical signs of the lesion were focal, because they refer to an open fracture that did not caused injuries to other structures, thus not determining an associated symptomatology. Opened rib fractures are rare, and most of them are healed by second intention without veterinary intervention. Regarding open fractures, the decontamination and debridement of a lesion and their adjacencies with removal of necrotic tissuesand use of antibiotics are essential for prevention of infections. When the lesion is in a contaminated region by permanent contact with rumen content, as in this case, daily cleaning with bandages is needed for a best healing, but synthesis oftissues is not indicated because there is a possibility of contamination and formation of abscesses. Therefore, procedures that ensure the decontamination of the wound and prevention of infections with prolonged use of antibiotics are essential for a better healing of open rib fractures in regions that are subjected to constant contamination

High accuracy monitoring of honey bee colony development by a quantitative method

Honey bees are key insect pollinators, providing important economic and ecological value for human beings and ecosystems. This has triggered the development of several monitoring methods for assessing the temporal development of colony size, food storage, brood and pathogens. Nonetheless, most of these methods are based on visual assessments that are observer-dependent and prone to bias. Furthermore, the impact on colony development (invasiveness), as well as accuracy, were rarely considered when implementing new methods. In this study, we present and test a novel accurate and observer-independent method for honey bee colony assessment, capable of being fully standardized. Honey bee colony size is quantified by assessing the weight of adult bees, while brood and provision are assessed by taking photos and conducting image analysis of the combs with the image analysis software DeepbeeVR . The invasiveness and accuracy of the method were investigated using field data from two experimental apiaries in Portugal, comparing results from test and control colonies. At the end of each field experiment, most of the tested colonies had the same colony size, brood levels and honey production as the control colonies. Nonetheless, continuous weight data indicated some disturbance in tested colonies in the first year of monitoring. The overall accuracy of the image analysis software was improved by training, indicating that it is possible to adapt the software to local conditions. We conclude that the use of this fully quantitative method offers a more accurate alternative to classic visual colony assessments, with negligible impact on colony development.This work was supported by European Food Safety Authority under grant OC/EFSA/SCER/2017/02; FCT provided financial support by national funds (FCT/MCTES) to CFE (UIDB/04004/2020) and CIMO (UIDB/00690/2020); NC was financed by FCT under PhD grant SFRH/BD/133352/2017; YLD by DCE (Danish Centre for Environment and Energy) under grant 21628-82105.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
