The Application of Logistics as Increase Income in Small Porte Company - Case Study in Salgados Mania

Logistics challenges are present in any organization, including small businesses. If today it is indispensable in large industries, for smaller companies the reality is different, since, in general, they do not have enough structures or employees to face adversity and meet their goals. Thus, it is becoming increasingly relevant to invest in tools that can bring improvements and results. Logistics encompasses activities that deal with the flow of material, human and information resources, but micro and small entrepreneurs generally do not handle all these stages of the process, which ends up making production work, often with lower efficiency than its total capacity, generating costs and making the company less productive. Lack of planning causes damage most of the time. This involves everything from inventory control to small processes that need human monitoring to happen. Due to the tools logistics offers to implement in any industry, regardless of size, opportunities for management improvement are growing, making the small business owner eligible to plan and think bigger about their business

Renal Dysplasia in a Maltese dog

Background: Renal dysplasia (RD) is a common cause of renal failure in young dogs. It is defined as a disorganization in renal parenchymal development, with abnormal differentiation. In all domestic animal species, RD may be hereditary or acquired. The affected animals show clinical signs of early chronic kidney disease, usually between 3 months to 3 years of age. The alterations include persistent metanephric ducts surrounded by primitive mesenchyme, glomeruli and fetal tubules, and abnormal interstitial fibrous tissue. We aimed to report the case of a 1-year-old canine with renal dysplasia.Case: A 1-year-old male Maltese dog experiencing polyuria, polydipsia, recurrent episodic vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weight loss, apathy, and anorexia was referred to a private clinic in the municipality of Itabuna-Bahia. Physical examination revealed hypochromic mucosa, dehydration estimated at 8%, rectal temperature of 37.5º C, halitosis, and a body score of 3 out of 9. Laboratory abnormalities included hematocrit of 18%, with hypochromic normocytic aregenerative anemia, azotemia (urea - 530 mg/dL, creatinine - 10.5 mg/dL), hyperglobulinemia (4.7 g/dL), low urinary density (1005), proteinuria (300 mg/dL), and urinary pH - 7.0. Ultrasonography revealed bilateral small kidneys with loss of cortico-medullary definition, cystic formations of different sizes on the renal surface, and hyperechoic areas in the parenchyma; these alterations were suggestive of bilateral chronic nephropathy. Considering the clinical, hematological, biochemical, and ultrasonographic presentation associated with the age of the patient, renal dysplasia was suspected. The patient's clinical condition progressed to loss of consciousness and convulsions, followed by death. Necropsy revealed pale, hypotrophic kidneys with firm consistency, irregular capsular surface containing multiple cortical cysts of different sizes, and altered cortico-medullar proportion. . Kidney fragments were sent to the Laboratory of Histopathology of the State University of Santa Cruz.  Histopathological analysis revealed a marked alteration of renal architecture with glomeruli and immature tubules (adenomatous aspect), persistent primitive mesenchyme, and remnants of the metanephric ducts, as well as tubular dilatation associated with marked interstitial fibrosis, discrete lymphohistiocytic interstitial nephritis, and multifocal areas of mineralization.Discussion: The clinical changes observed in the present case occurred as a consequence of chronic kidney failure caused by RD and included anorexia, apathy, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, polyuria, polydipsia, and dehydration. These alterations were also found in other reported cases. The macroscopic findings were similar to those described in the literature and are characteristic of chronic kidney disease: small, firm, pale-colored kidneys. Microscopic changes of renal dysplasia include persistent metanephric ducts surrounded by primitive mesenchyme, glomeruli and fetal tubules, and abnormal interstitial fibrous tissue. In the histopathological renal evaluation in the present report, morphological alterations compatible with the described alterations in the literature were observed, thus allowing the diagnosis of renal dysplasia. Renal dysplasia can affect young dogs of different breeds, causing clinical manifestations of chronic kidney disease. In view of this, this disease should be included as a differential diagnosis in patients under 3 years old who present signs of chronic nephropathy.

Social representations of university students on travesti people

Este estudo teve como objetivo apreender as representações sociais de graduandos em saúde acerca da pessoa travesti. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa fundamentada no referencial teórico das representações sociais, privilegiando a teoria do núcleo central. Participaram da pesquisa 243 estudantes, sendo 167 mulheres e 76 homens, com idade entre 18 e 63 anos. Realizou-se um teste de associação livre de palavras com a expressão indutora “pessoa travesti”, cujos dados foram processados pelos softwares EVOC e IRAMUTEQ. A interpretação dos resultados dispostos no quadro de quatro casas permitiu-nos identificar o forte valor simbólico e afetivo dos campos semânticos “mulher”, “diferente”, “opção”, “transformação” e “alegria”, apresentados pelos estudantes, visto que explicitam particularidades do objeto representado. O preconceito foi caracterizado como o principal elemento enfrentado diariamente por quem se expressa enquanto tal. Os elementos que estruturam o núcleo central não revelam diferenciação entre orientação sexual e identidade de gênero, por parte dos graduandos.This study sought to understand social representations of undergraduate students in health education in relation to transvestite people. This is a qualitative study based on the theoretical framework of social representations, favoring the core theory. 243 students participated of the study, from which 167 were women and 76 men, aged from 18 to 63 years. The free-association test was performed using the key expression “transvestite people”, the data was processed using the programs EVOC and IRAMUTEQ. The results were interpreted in a four-column table and allowed the identification of the strong symbolic and emotional value of the semantic fields “woman”, “different”, “option”, “transformation” and “joy”, presented by the students, since these express the peculiarities of the represented object. Prejudice was characterized as the main element faced daily by those who express themselves as travestis. The elements structuring the central core did not reveal any distinction between sexual orientation and gender identity by the undergraduates

Study of anatomical variations in premolars by cone beam computerized tomography in a radiologic clinic in Piauí

Introduction: Root canal cleaning is the main objective of endodontic treatment and requires knowledge of the internal anatomy. The premolars are evidenced in the literature with great anatomical variations. In view of this, studies indicate that the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography helps in the visualization of highly complex anatomy. Objective: to describe the anatomical variations in maxillary and mandibular premolars using cone beam computed tomography in a radiologic clinic in Piaui. Methods: 54 cone beam computed tomography scans with 160 premolars were used, produced using the Orthopantomograph OP300 equipment and analyzed by multiplanar reconstructions: axial, coronal and sagittal. Data regarding sex, number of roots and canals were recorded to compare and classify according to Vertucci. Results: the maxillary first pre-molars had 63.5% two roots,83.7% with one root and the mandibular pre-molars mostly with one root. Regarding the number of channels, 92.3% of the first premolars had two channels, most of them maxillary second premolars and mandibular premolars only one channel. Vertucci variations of types I, II, III and IV were verified in single-rooted elements, observing a great variation in superior elements. As for the prevalence of sex, only the first superiors showed greater variation in males. Conclusions: the upper first premolars prevailed with a great anatomical variation in relation to the other premolars with prevalence of Vertucci Type I and in males.Introducción: La limpieza del conducto radicular es el principal objetivo del tratamiento endodóntico y requiere del conocimiento de la anatomía interna.

Educational approach for fault detection in Internal Combustion Engines with Matlab Toolbox Fuzzy Logic

Fuzzy logic is the logic defined from the theory of fuzzy sets. It differs from the crisp logic (traditional) in their characteristics and their details. In textbooks on fuzzy inference systems, exemplified superficially implementation creating doubts among computer science students. Traditionally, teachers teach IC with the use of conceptual models. This model was to serve specified parameters computing courses, allowing students to study and development of computational models using Matlab Fuzzy Logic Toolbox (MFLT) for fault detection in engines. This paper proposes an academic learning model based on fuzzy inference and modeling to detect incipient faults in components of internal combustion engines

Floral Resource Partitioning between Centris (Heterocentris) analis (Fabricius, 1804) and Centris (Heterocentris) terminata Smith, 1874 (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Centridini), in an Urban Fragment of the Atlantic Forest

The knowledge on plant species used for the collection of floral resources is crucial to understanding interactions between plants and bees. The aim of the present study was to identify floral resources used by Centris analis and Centris terminata to provision brood cells and determine the niche breadth and overlap of these two species in a fragment of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. This study was conducted at the Universidade Federal da Bahia and Parque Zoobotânico Getúlio Vargas, both of which are located in urban areas of the city of Salvador in the state of Bahia. Twelve and eight pollen types were identified in C. analis and C. terminata nests, respectively. The most frequent pollen types were from species of Malpighiaceae and Fabaceae. A larger trophic niche breadth was found in the Parque Zoobotânico Getúlio Vargas for C. analis and in the Universidade Federal da Bahia for C. terminata. Pianka’s index demonstrated trophic niche overlap between C. analis and C. terminata, which was greater in the Parque Zoobotânico Getúlio Vargas. This study is the first to provide data on plants used as food sources by species of the genus Centris in a fragment of the Atlantic Forest situated within urban areas.
