Theoretical framework for Risk management monitoring, review and improvement process of FLOSS applications using key risk indicators - KRI at a public agency

In the last decade, and due to a number of factors, including budget constraints caused by the economic crisis and the promotion of Free and Open Source Software - FLOSS by the brazilian federal government, public bodies have been increasingly using FLOSS both to cover own operational needs and to offer new and varied services to citizens. In this context, good governance rules suggest the establishment of the risk management process, which, in accordance with the ISO/IEC 27005 and ISO/IEC 31000 rules, broadly defines the context definition, analysis and risk assessment, risk management, communication, and critical risk monitoring and review of the organization’s assets. For the risk monitoring and review process, the COSO organization promotes the use of key risk indicators - KRI that help monitor alerts, changes in risk conditions, or new risks that may arise in the course of day to day operations. This article aims to present the theoretical framework for Risk management monitoring, review and improvement process of FLOSS applications using key risk indicators - KRI at a public agency.Sociedad Argentina de Informática e Investigación Operativ

Estado nutricional de crianças do baixo Amazonas: concordância entre três critérios de classificação

Introduction: The knowledge of adequate methods to monitor growth and nutritional status during childhood and adolescence makes possible an early diagnosis of possible problems, such as malnutrition, overweight or obesity in adult life.  Objective: To determine the agreement between three methods of nutritional assessment status of children 2 to 6 years old from Lower Amazonas region, Brazil. Methods: Exploratory, epidemiological, and cross-sectional school-based study conducted in 2014 with children of Child Education in the city of Parintins. We assessed the nutritional status, body mass index, according to three criteria: Conde and Monteiro, Cole et al, and World Health Organization (WHO). We used the Kappa coefficient to investigate the agreement between three criteria. Results: Participants were 1.387 children (714 boys) with a mean age of 5 years. The boys had a higher prevalence of overweight than girls by the WHO classification, but higher proportion of girls with low weight, according to the national criteria. The best levels of agreement were for females and national protocol showed good agreement with the international use of protocols, highlighting proposed by the WHO. Conclusion: We concluded that there was agreement among the criteria for assessing the nutritional status of children in the Lower Amazonas.Introdução: A avaliação do estado nutricional é fundamental na infância, pois a desnutrição, o sobrepeso e a obesidade são estágios indicativos de desequilíbrios que podem influenciar o adequado desenvolvimento infantil e interferir nos processos de saúde/doença.

Selection of common bean families resistant to anthracnose and angular leaf spot

O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar famílias de feijoeiro com resistência a Colletotrichum lindemuthianum e Phaeoisariopsis griseola e com outros fenótipos agronômicos desejáveis. As famílias utilizadas foram obtidas do cruzamento entre a linhagem H91, portadora de três alelos de resistência à antracnose, com três famílias F2:5 resistentes à mancha-angular, derivadas da cultivar Jalo EEP 558. Foi utilizado o delineamento látice quadrado em todos os experimentos. Inicialmente, foram avaliadas 144 famílias F2:3, no inverno de 2004, em Lavras, MG, com base no tipo de grão. Foram selecionadas 80 famílias F2:4 e avaliadas com a testemunha BRSMG Talismã, no período das águas de 2004/2005, no mesmo local. Considerando-se o tipo de grão e a resistência à mancha-angular e antracnose, foram mantidas 48 famílias F2:5, que foram avaliadas na seca de 2005, em Lavras e Lambari, MG. Essas 48 famílias passaram por inoculação das raças 2047, 73 e 1545 de C. lindemuthianum, para verificação da presença dos alelos de resistência Co-42, Co-5 e Co-7, respectivamente. Foram identificados genótipos da maioria das 48 famílias, quanto à reação à antracnose, das quais se destacaram quatro, em relação ao tipo de grão semelhante ao 'Carioca', de porte ereto, produtividade elevada e resistência à mancha-angular.The objective of this work was to select common bean families resistant to Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Phaeoisariopsis griseola and, also, with superior agronomical traits. Families used were obtained from crosses of H91 lineage, bearer of three alleles resistant to anthracnose, and F2;5 families derived from the cultivar Jalo EEP 558, which is resistant to angular leaf spot. Square lattice design was used in all experiments. Initially the F2:3 families (144) were evaluated in the winter of 2004, in Lavras county, MG, Brazil, based on grain type. Eighty families (F2:4) were selected and evaluated with the check BRSMG Talismã, in the wet periods of 2004/2005, in the same place. Considering grain type, anthracnose and angular leaf spot resistances, 48 families (F2:5) were selected and evaluated in the dry period of 2005, in two places, Lavras and Lambari, MG. These 48 families were also inoculated with the 2047, 73 and 1545 races of C. lindemuthianum, in order to verify the presence of alleles of resitance Co-42, Co-5 and Co-7, respectively. Genotypes with anthracnose resistance were identified in most families, four of which are outstanding for their ideal 'Carioca'-like grain, with upright plant, high grain yield and resistance to angular leaf spot

ESTIMATE OF THE RAIN EROSIVITY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF PIAÇABUÇU - AL

Soil erosion is the process caused by an erosive agent, which acts under the soil, precipitation, being the reason for the water erosive process, where detachment and transport by the surface runoff of soil particles occurs, this phenomenon depends on the intensity, frequency and duration of events in a given region. The municipality of Piaçabuçu is located in the region of the lower São Francisco Alagoano, therefore, the objective was to determine the rainfall erosivity indexes through the pluviometric data for the municipality of Piaçabuçu - AL, in the period from 1943 to 1985. These data were tables for calculating rain, the rain coefficient and its relation to erosivity using six equations. The municipality of Piaçabuçu has an average annual rainfall of 1128.52 mm, for the observation period of 42 years, with a wide variation in the distribution of rainfall over the years, with the rainy season concentrated in the months of April to August , presenting average values ​​above the average, in this period more than 70% of the rainfall precipitated for the municipality. All six models of erosivity estimates showed a correlation considered high, which enables them to estimate the erosivity of the municipality under study.A erosão do solo é o processo causado por um agente erosivo, que age sob o solo, a precipitação, sendo a razão do processo erosivo hídrico, onde ocorre desprendimento e o transporte pelo escoamento superficial de partículas do solo, este fenômeno depende da intensidade, frequência e duração dos eventos em uma determinada região. O município de Piaçabuçu está localizado na região do baixo São Francisco Alagoano, desta forma, objetivou-se determinar os índices de erosividade das chuvas através dos dados pluviométricos para o município de Piaçabuçu – AL, no período de 1943 a 1985. Os referidos dados foram tabulados para cálculo da chuva, o coeficiente de chuva e sua relação a erosividade utilizando seis equações. O município de Piaçabuçu apresenta uma distribuição pluviométrica anual média de 1128,52 mm, para o período de observação de 42 anos, apresentando uma ampla variação de distribuição da precipitação pluviométrica ao longo dos anos, com o período chuvoso concentrado nos meses de abril a agosto, apresentando valores médios acima da média, neste período precipitou mais de 70% das chuvas para o município.

Evaluation Of The Mutagenicity And Antimutagenicity Of Ziziphus Joazeiro Mart. Bark In The Micronucleus Assay.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the mutagenicity (clastogenicity/aneugenicity) of a glycolic extract of Ziziphus joazeiro bark (GEZJ) by the micronucleus assay in mice bone marrow. Antimutagenic activity was also assessed using treatments associated with GEZJ and doxorubicin (DXR). Mice were evaluated 24-48 h after exposure to positive (N-nitroso-N-ethylurea, NEU - 50 mg.kg(-1) and DXR - 5 mg.kg(-1)) and negative (150 mM NaCl) controls, as well as treatment with GEZJ (0.5-2 g.kg(-1)), GEZJ (2 g.kg(-1)) + NEU and GEZJ (2 g.kg(-1)) + DXR. There were no significant differences in the frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in mice treated with GEJZ and GEJZ + DXR compared to the negative controls, indicating that GEZJ was not mutagenic. Analysis of the polychromatic:normochromatic erythrocyte ratio revealed significant differences in the responses to doses of 0.5 g.kg(-1) and 1-2 g.kg(-1) and the positive control (NEU). These results indicated no systemic toxicity and moderate toxicity at lower and higher doses of GEZJ. The lack of mutagenicity and systemic toxicity in the antimutagenic assays, especially for treatment with GEZJ + DXR, suggested that phytochemical compounds in Z. joazeiro bark attenuated DXR-induced mutagenicity and the moderate systemic toxicity of a high dose of Z. joazeiro bark (2 g.kg(-1)). Further studies on the genotoxicity of Z. joazeiro extracts are necessary to establish the possible health risk in humans and to determine the potential as a chemopreventive agent for therapeutic use.37428-3

Nongenotoxic effects and a reduction of the DXR-induced genotoxic effects of Helianthus annuus Linné (sunflower) seeds revealed by micronucleus assays in mouse bone marrow

BACKGROUND: This research evaluated the genotoxicity of oil and tincture of H. annuus L. seeds using the micronucleus assay in bone marrow of mice. The interaction between these preparations and the genotoxic effects of doxorubicin (DXR) was also analysed (antigenotoxicity test). METHODS: Experimental groups were evaluated at 24-48 h post treatment with N-Nitroso-N-ethylurea (positive control – NEU), DXR (chemotherapeutic), NaCl (negative control), a sunflower tincture (THALS) and two sources of sunflower oils (POHALS and FOHALS). Antigenotoxic assays were carried out using the sunflower tincture and oils separately and in combination with NUE or DXR. RESULTS: For THALS, analysis of the MNPCEs showed no significant differences between treatment doses (250–2,000 mg.Kg(-1)) and NaCl. A significant reduction in MNPCE was observed when THALS (2,000 mg.Kg(-1)) was administered in combination with DXR (5 mg.Kg(-1)). For POHALS or FOHALS, analysis of the MNPCEs also showed no significant differences between treatment doses (250–2,000 mg.Kg(-1)) and NaCl. However, the combination DXR + POHALS (2,000 mg.Kg(-1)) or DXR + FOHALS (2,000 mg.Kg(-1)) not contributed to the MNPCEs reduction. CONCLUSIONS: This research suggests absence of genotoxicity of THALS, dose-, time- and sex-independent, and its combination with DXR can reduce the genotoxic effects of DXR. POHALS and FOHALS also showed absence of genotoxicity, but their association with DXR showed no antigenotoxic effects
