Sustainability Analysis of Porto Velho City Through a Basket of Indicators

Sustainability is a theme that is on the agenda of cities when discussing municipal development. This research adopts the methodology developed by CÃ¢ndido, Vasconcelos e Souza (2010) that builds the Participatory Municipal Sustainable Development Index (IDSMP) and in this research the IDSMP is calculated for the city of Porto Velho, state of RondÃ´nia. It is an instrument already used in several places, citing as examples the municipalities of Cabaceiras and Guarabira, in the state of ParaÃba. This index is important so that public and private managers can make decisions about the directions of local sustainability. This is a qualitative and explanatory study. In the data collection phase, the results of 38 sustainability indicators were extracted, 7 of which were cultural, 12 were social, 05 were demographic, 04 were institutional policies, 04 were environmental, and 06 of the economic dimension. As a result, it can be shown that the municipality obtained the result of 1 on the cultural dimension, 0.6860 for the social dimension, 0.5159 for the demographic dimension, 0.7392 for the institutional political dimension, 0.4237 for the environmental dimension and 0.7713 for the economic dimension, which eventually generated an IDSMP of 0.6893 for the municipality and, according to the method, the locality is in an acceptable level of sustainability. It is worth mentioning that the parameter of interpretation of the result of this index is comprised between the numbers 0 and 1, the lowest level of sustainability being in result 0 and the largest is in 1.

Proposal for the Implantation of Forestry System in a Small Rural Property Located in the Municipality of Nanuque-Mg

Deforestation and the irregular use of the soil in Brazil has produced several areas degraded and without utility for the breeding of animals, the recovery of degraded areas with the beans can be an excellent alternative for the improvement of the quality of small producers, the property will not render it unproductive and it is still possible to use the beans as food. The aim of this study was to diagnose a farm as their chemical, physical and climate and develop a silvopastoral system deployment proposal in order to ensure balanced environmental management area. The study area is situated between the towns of Nanuque and Carlos Chagas in the state of Minas Gerais. The area is in an advanced process of degradation.

The Development of a Basic Electricity Trainer

Achimi Abubakar, Akinleye Temitope Grace, Akinola Sebeel. A.

Technology never stops from innovating. Modernization goes with it rapidly. Thus education today needs to rise to the call of time through encouragement and equipping of laboratories with trainers which can be used to help students understand the basics in the world of digital electronics. This research is base on the development of a basic electricity trainer whose theory is based on ohmâ€™s law and Kirchhoffâ€™s law.Ohmâ€™s law explore the quantitative relationship between the current through a resistor and the potential difference (voltage) across the resistor. Kirchhoffâ€™s laws are rules used to completely solve a DC circuit. We have experimentally tested Kirchhoffâ€™s Voltage Law and Kirchhoffâ€™s Current Law by measuring the sum of the voltage drops around several closed paths, and the sum of the currents at several nodes, in a resistive circuit made up of three resistors. A low resistance circuit was constructed using resistors 1kâ„¦,2.2kâ„¦ and 10kâ„¦ Kirchhoffâ€™s Current Law, which states that the algebraic sum of the currents at a node is zero, was found to be accurate to within 1% error. Kirchhoffâ€™s Voltage Law, which states that the algebraic sum of the voltage drops around a closed loop is zero, was found to be accurate to within 1% error when applied to the low resistance circuit. With these we conclude that Kirchhoffâ€™s Laws accurately predict the behavior of resistive circuits.The basic trainer itself is made up of four sections which are the metering section,the power supply section(comprises the variable 0-30V and fixed 5V and 9V),resistor array and components such diodes,zener diodes and thermistor. The trainer is completely recommended for performance Experiments in electrical laboratories.

Failure Mechanisms of Interlocked Bricks of Soil-Cement and Wood Fibers

The goal is to determine the mechanisms of soil-cement interlocked brick plus wood fibers under compressive loading. For this we used experimental stress analysis techniques. Horizontal deformations (Îµx) and vertical (Îµy) of bricks were obtained with extensometers, in the configuration of five rosettes. From the values of these deformations and using the equations of the theory of elasticity, Poisson coefficients were determined and elasticity modules, and calculated the corresponding voltages each escutcheon according to the equations of the State of plane stress. To determine the trajectory of the rupture voltage-loading graphics were made of each rosette. Knowing this trajectory determined the tensions related to the modification of the brick break mechanism. The appearance of a premature cracking or excessive is parameter used to determine the State limit of use of bricks.

These 90 articles were excluded from the review process, leaving 40 articles that were used as basis for this study. Results: The feasibility of this technique became possible only with the advent of the creation of the prototypes generated from the computerized tomographies, which allow the surgical planning and the preparation of prostheses with precise fittings, made from models with dimensions and shapes identical to the area to be rehabilitated.

Impact of Indirect Taxation on Economic Growth in Nigeria

Ukpabi Anulika Laura

The mono-product nature of the Nigerian economy has hindered it from achieving its economic growth objectives. This inadequacy is further worsened by the fact that its revenue from its mono-product source is facing dwindling fortune. Over the years, it has been observed that revenue generated from indirect taxation has been substantial and constantly on the increase. This study therefore explored the impact of indirect taxation and economic growth as a possible means of diversifying the Nigerian revenue. Time series data were applied in carrying out this research work. Ordinary Least square (OLS) method of analysis was adopted after determining the stationary of the variable using Augmented Dickey fuller technique and finding ample long run and short run relationship among variables using the Johansen cointegration and Vector Error Correction Mechanisms respectively.. The result showed that of the two indirect tax sources, Value Added Tax and Customs and excise duties, Value Added Tax that had a positive significant relationship with economic growth. Customs and excise duties on the other hand had a negative relationship but was tested and found to be insignificant. But overall the relationship between the indirect tax sources and economic growth was found to be significant. Against the above result, we recommended among others that the number of goods on the VAT list should be increased and the burden of custom duties should be lessened on infant industries, all aimed at boosting indirect tax revenue accruing to the country and ultimately stimulating economic growth.

MaurÃcio Reginaldo Alves dos Santos, Carolina Augusto de Souza

Cell suspension cultures can be a valuable system for production of secondary metabolites. Capsicum annuum is a pepper species largely studied due to its biologically active compounds. The objective of this study was to establish a protocol for callus induction in nodes and internodes of C. annuum cv. All Big and to determine the callus growth curve, with focus on the deceleration phase, when the callus cells must be cultivated in a liquid medium in order to generate a cell suspension system. Nodal and internodal segments were submitted to media supplemented with the growth regulators 2,4-D and BA in factorial combination. After 49 days, the percentage of explants where callus induction occurred (%CI), the explant area covered by callus cells (ACCC), and the fresh weight of the explants were evaluated. In order to determine the growth curve, the explants were cultivated in the media supplemented with the growth regulators that resulted in the highest callus cell proliferation, weighing the calluses in the subsequent 49 days. The treatments that resulted in the highest %CI, ACCC and callus weight were 4.52 ÂµM 2,4-D without BA for nodal explants and 9.05 ÂµM 2,4-D + 2.22 ÂµM BA for internodal explants. The growth curves of the calluses of the two types of explants followed a sigmoid pattern with six distinct phases; lag, exponential, linear, deceleration, stationary and decline. The deceleration phase started on the 27th and on the 19th day, respectively, for nodal and internodal explants.

Jadilson Evangelista dos Reis, Alesi Mendes, Ã‚ngelo Ricardo Balduino

The environmental problems are currently in the spotlight in the news media around the world, although in a negative way. This theme arouses great curiosity among people. The water, which is an exhaustible natural resource, has been suffering severely through misuse and lack of awareness regarding humanity's natural assets. With the population growth, cities are now receiving industrial facilities, and this leads to an increase of the waste dumped on the surface, affecting the bed of rivers and lakes, and consequently affecting water quality. Besides this means of pollution, there are several other forms such as garbage thrown into the water, uncontrolled mining, among others. All samples from the three analyzed points had Escherichia coli values lower than 200 NMP/100 ml of sample. Thus, according to Resolution nÂº 274, the E. coli values found in this range allowed to classify the analyzed locations as safe and excellent for carrying out primary contact activities, or, bathing for most of the analyzed period. The following project had the objective of analyzing the conditions of the water in the Formigueiro Beach, used by bathers that come into primary contact, as well as the normative that competes to it, also focused on the environmental issues as: degradation, polluting sources, means of use, sustainability and bathing.

A systematic Review and meta-analysis to Identify and Mitigate the Relationship with the Plasma Membrane of Plant Water Stress and Resistance to Pathogens

The plasma membrane has very important functions, it is composed of a phospholipid bilayer having a non-uniform and fluid structure that controls input and output of nutrients into the cell and is a way of water transport, whose excess or deficiency affects the plant development cycle. Depending on the degree of water stress, it can also affect the plant resistance against the incidence of pathogens that cause great economic losses. Fungi and viruses mostly take advantage of this deficiency, eliminating the plant defense response producing molecules for this purpose; however, the plants employ proteins produced by resistance genes.

Characterization of the Production Chain of the Craft Beer Produced in Western Region of Santa Catarina and Southwest of ParanÃ¡ - Brazil

Beer is an age-old alcoholic drink obtained as a product of the fermentation of the wort of malted grain (barley), with the addition or not of other cereals or sources of sugars, called adjuncts, and the addition of hops, using yeast for the fermentation process. The production of special beers in microbreweries has increased significantly in recent years, making it an important business opportunity. In this context, the objective of this study was to characterize the production chain of craft beers produced in the western regions of the state of Santa Catarina and the southwest of the state of ParanÃ¡. In addition, this work sought to present the number of beer producers, grouping them by produced volume and determining the types and characteristics of the beers, the origin and the volumes of the raw material or adjuncts used in the processes and the business model. To this end, a survey instrument was developed and applied to 14 microbreweries installed in these two regions. The obtained results revealed that the production of these units vary by up to 300,000 liters of beer per month. They rely on a few partners, most exist for more than 5 years, and the owners are mostly young people of up to 44 years of age. The beer types produced are mostly Pilsen, IPA and Weiss, which rely for up to 90% on imported raw materials, making all the difference in specialty beers. As such, it can be concluded that this production chain seems to be simple, but long, starting with the purchases of raw materials and suppliers, followed by the entire production process, to then be distributed and sold to the final consumers.

Numerical Evaluation of Formation Damage Models for Application in Niger Delta Oil Reservoirs

Nmegbu Godwin Chukwuma J., Meshack Clifford

The frequent random application of formation damage models in the assessment of oil well deliverability has prompted the critical evaluation of these models to streamline their applicability in specific reservoir types. Coupled with the unconsolidated nature of the Niger Delta Agbada formation, the establishment of a unique damage model which will take into account, the textural and structural configuration of the formation sand in its damage estimation is most paramount. In this work, four formation damage models were numerically evaluated and matched to the conventional pressure buildup skin model using reservoir and well production data from five (5) different Niger Delta locations assigned ND-1, ND-2, ND-3, ND4 and ND-5. Result showed that the Frick & Economides model, if adopted within the region can be dreadful for all reservoir cases as it tends to underestimate formation damage implications as well as skin magnitudes since it is primarily a function of the altered permeability and damaged radius only, recording an average skin of 1.30 as against 3.36 for the reference model. The models of Behr & Raflee, Ozkan and Furui et al with reference to the buildup skin model showed promising results in skin magnitude estimation. Further damage analysis revealed that the Furui et al model was most appropriate as it yielded an average Flow Efficiency of 69.40%, an average skin induced pressure drop of 193.98 psi and an average damage factor of 0.3

Ice cream Made of Brazilian Native Fruits: Sustainable Development to Depressed and Biodiversity Areas

Cintia Neves Godoi, Bento Alves da Costa Filho, Alcido Elenor Wander

This paper presents a case of food production, especially ice cream producing made of Brazilian native fruits, and the engagement of the poor population and women in the production of healthier products and a more sustainable production. It is about of accessing native fruits in the Brazilian savanna and, therefore, in the base of production, that it is necessary to recognize the role of small and medium producers in the social and environmental transformation of poor or depressed areas. Especially since small and medium producers still have areas of native forests on their land, while large areas of production are generally destined for commodity production. The Frutos do Brasil company is therefore analyzed for its performance in the face of more sustainable forms of production, because it invests in the production of healthier foods, in stimulating small and medium producers of food, in stimulating the maintenance of native vegetation, and inserting more poor and women in the productive process.

But even though these foods are being consumed, there is no consensus in the scientific community about the safety of these foods for human health and the environment. Soon the present work aimed to go into the field to assess the knowledge and the vision of the high school students of the private network on the GMO foods, this from the application of questionnaires in schools of the municipality of Gurupi-TO and investigate whether This topic is discussed in the classroom.

Beef Cattle Expansion in the Brazilian Legal Amazon: from Land availability to Emerging Technologies

The state of Mato Grosso is part of Brazilian Legal Amazon and is one of the new frontiers in world farming facing the global demand for food. It is also one of the most important regions that have contributed to increasing the size of Brazilian cattle herds. However, a better understanding of the factors driving this expansion in area and the quantity produced is needed to support public policies and domestic production planning. Consequently, the aim of this article is to analyze and describe the historical drivers of beef cattle expansion in the state of Mato Grosso, considering the beef supply chain and state economy. Key findings included indications that this expansion was based on the availability of arable land and lower land prices but mainly resulted from the use of technologies allowing increased efficiency and competitiveness in livestock in Mato Grosso.

Geotraceability: An Innovative Strategy for Extraction of Information and an Aid for the Sustainable Cattle Raising

The requirement of traceability of information for food is an increasingly important condition for gaining the confidence and loyalty of the consumer. The concept of geotraceability arose through the association between knowledge of a geographical nature with the traditional information provided by traceability. This study explored the use of design of spatial information inherent to biophysical parameters of the pasture (vegetation indices and evapotranspiration) combined with data collection on the mobility of cattle in pasture areas for extraction and availability of spatially explicit information that can assist sustainable cattle production. From the trajectories, it was observed the existence of a typical behavioral pattern of the animals, such as the preference to walk towards clean and flat terrain, search for areas that present better thermal comfort or regions near to supplementary feeding (salt, food, etc.) and the access to water. Overall, it is noticed that in a pasture environment, the animals prioritize their primary physiological needs, that is, water consumption and thermal regulation. The results are promising in terms of applied research for behavioral analysis of animals and environmental interactions associated with mobility. The technique used in the study has the potential to be applied in the implementation of cattle production geodecision systems that support good production practices and favor the quality and safety of food with environmental sustainability.

Operational Solution to Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) of power plants by different deterministic methods and Particle Swarm Optimization.

Decision-making for operational optimization Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) is one of the most important tasks in thermal power plants, which provides an economic condition for power generation systems. The aim of this paper is to analyze the application of evolutionary computational methods to determine the best situation of generation of the different units in a plant so that the total cost of fuel to be minimal and at the same time, ensuring that demand and total losses any time be equal to the total power generated. Various traditional methods have been developed for solving the Economic Load Dispatch, among them: lambda iteration, the gradient method, the Newton's method, and so others. They allow determining the ideal combination of output power of all generating units in order to meet the required demand without violation of the generators restrictions. This article presents an analysis of different mathematical methods to solve the problem of optimization in ELD. The results show a case study applied in a thermal power plant with 10 generating units considering the loss of power and its restrictions, using MATLAB tools by developed techniques with particle swarm algorithm.

Ecology of Contributions for Women Association with Brazilian Semiarid

We bring this work some historical perspectives on the conceptions socially constructed about gender and sexual division of labor, and dialogued with some theorists that reference the topic further highlight some narratives that illuminate the emancipatory bias of women's active participation in production in spaces of Family Farming. Thus, the study discusses the role of women in Food Safety production space, because we believe that discuss food security in the Brazilian semiarid region (SAB) implies reflect gender relations and women's participation in the production of food for the family and to the market and their participation in the management of property and public spaces.

Irrigation of the mammary glands of sows (Sus scrofa domesticus Linnaeus, 1758)

The irrigation of the mammary glands of crossbred sows was studied by contrast radiographic examination in order to provide subsidies to related areas. Dissection had been performed on seven female pigs, with different body weights, and prior to puberty, with a mean age of three months, originated from pig farms in Brazil. Barium Sulfate had been injected in four specimens. Radiographic examination was performed for visualization of the arterial distribution to the glands. It has been concluded that the mammary arteries responsible for the irrigation of the mammary glands in sows originate from the superficial cranial and the caudal epigastric arteries. Among the arteries identified by dissection and contrast radiography, it has been verified that the cranial arteries present larger calibers when compared to caudal arteries. The use of contrast radiography has revealed to be efficient for the topographic identification of the vessels, the caliber, and the distribution to the mammary glands.

Prevalence of Mental Disorder in Adults and Elderly

These functional loses can be quantified at the population level by multiplying the prevalence of those disorders by the average level of disability associated with them, it is estimated that 50 million years of life are lost because of these disabling morbidities. It is a cross-sectional and descriptive epidemiological research. The sample consisted of 1356 individuals. For the evaluation on mental disorders - stress, anxiety and depression - BECKâ€™s inventory and Lippâ€™s stress questionnaire were utilized. It was verified that adults are more stressed (64.5%) than the elderly (60.1%). Regarding the anxiety and depression levels, adults had higher diagnostic numbers, with 27% and 17,8%, respectively, against 24,9% and 16,4% among the elderly. With high global prevalence, being considered a public health problem. Itâ€™s worth pointing out that in our finding, the highest prevalence was of stress in adult population, however, it was verified in data analysis a linearity in relation to the proportions between adults and the elderly, leading to the understanding that adults with mental disorders tend to be elders with mental disorders. The incentive of healthy habits, a favorable environment for the practice of leisure and social life, are responsible factors for the most effective prevention in order to reduce the morbidity burden of mental disorders.

Analysis of Correlation between Environmental Factors and Anxiety

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the worldwide prevalence of anxiety disorder (AT) is 3.6%. It was estimated that by 2015, 246 million individuals lived with these disorders, which indicates an increase of 14.9% since 2005. Brazil, the country with the highest number of cases of anxiety, with 9.3% of indexes that surpass the neighboring countries. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation between environmental factors and anxiety among adults aged 20 to 59 years, of both sexes. By means of an analytical and transversal research of descriptive character, with quantitative approach that will be carried out in the city of VitÃ³ria da Conquista / BA, in which the sample number was composed of 980 anxious or not. Regarding anxiety and gender, 81.8% of the women said they were anxious, when asked about work 64.1% worked and had anxiety, when asked about tobacco, 11% smoked and are anxious about BMI, 18.4% had low weight, 56.4% were Eutrophic, 19.6% were overweight and 5.6% were obese, and finally, when interviewed about the schooling of those who had anxiety 65.8 % of individuals had incomplete higher education. Checking that anxiety is more prevalent in women and working individuals are more anxious, the variables BMI, smoking, schooling, age, social class, are not significant for the study.

Study of the Prevalence of Helminths and Protozoa in Fruits marketed in Street Markets in a City insideof Bahia

Parasitoses in Brazil represents a serious public health problem, by affecting mainly the poorest population, with little access to education and basic sanitation. It is estimated that millions of people around the world are afflicted with parasitic infections from eating contaminated food. The present study had as objective to evaluate the presence of helminths and protozoa in fruits marketed in open fairs in VitÃ³ria da Conquista-Ba. Forty samples were analyzed, by including guava, lemon, apple and grape, by the method of spontaneous sedimentation Hoffman, Pons and Janer (1934). The results showed that 70% of the fruits presented positivity for some type (kind) of parasite, with guava being the most contaminated fruit (90%). The highest prevalence was of helminths (Ascaris lumbicoides (n = 92), Ancylostomideo (n = 18), Taenia sp (n = 8) and Enterobius vermiculaes (n = 2), followed by protozoa (Balantidium coli, Entamoeba coli (n = 11) .The high frequency is associated to the inadequate handling of these fruits, as well as to the inefficiency of the sanitary conditions of the commercialization place, by recommending measures of sanitary education from the merchants and the population consumers.

Physical Training Coupled with Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Modulates Cortical Waves Decreasing the Likelihood of Falls in Adults Elderly with Fragility

Background: Falls have been implicated as the second highest cause of disability and death in the old population across the world. Some studies have shown that physical exercise applied alone and/or combined with non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) may improve mental activity and motor functions reducing the frail and the likelihood of falls. In this research was investigated whether physical and mental exercises training (PMET) combined with the NIBS procedure would reduce better the likelihood of falls in adultâ€™s elderly as compared to the PMET by itself. Methods: A rigorous previous selective procedure was used for selecting 57 frail elderly subjects who were later randomly separated into two groups one of which nominated as experimental (FEG) and the other the control group (FCG). The FEG group practiced physical and mental exercises adjointly to a method of non-invasive brain stimulation. The FCG group received the same physical and mental exercises program as the FEG group practiced, but did not pass by the non-invasive brain stimulation procedure. Electroencephalographic data, propensity for falls and reaction time were evaluated in a version of pre and post intervention comparisons. The obtained data were treated using ANOVA ONE WAY with Tukey's posterior test, Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunnâ€™s and Spearman's correlation, all with a significance of 5%. Results: The conjugation of the NIBS to physical and mental training promoted decrease of the propensity for falls, enhance the reaction time, and modulated, both, Alpha and SMR bands. If taken together, it can be assumed that this program, moreover, was also efficient to reduce the adultâ€™s elderly of the experimental group their physical and mental frailty as indicated by their frailty test scores taken comparatively between the pre to the post intervention performances. Conclusion: It was concluded that the intervention program here proposed decreased the probability of falls in the adults elderly and being this benefit clearly correlated with cortical modulation of the Alpha and SMR waves and was also efficient to promote the enhancement of those individualâ€™s capability to executive functions performance.

Development of a Web Free Software for the Absolute Efficiency Calibration for HPGe Type Detectors

Thiago JosÃ© Sampaio Kaiser, Renato Semmler, Gean Batista de Lima

The IEA-R1, swimming pool research reactor, from the Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research (IPEN), among other uses, the instrumental neutron activation analysis technique is widely used, and successfully, by the Neutron Activation Laboratory (LAN), using the comparative method. In this method a sample is irradiated simultaneously with a standard. In order to overcome the difficulty of a multi-elementary analysis, because it was necessary to prepare several standards, the k0 method of neutron activation was developed. In method k, the concentration of sample elements is calculated in relation to a comparator element, generally gold. However, for the use of the k0 method, it is necessary to accurately determine the detection efficiency in the energy range of interest and the geometry of the experimental arrangement. In order to circumvent the manual processing of the data in spreadsheets, which could be affected by errors, a free code web software was developed for calibration in absolute efficiency of an HPGe type detector for neutron activation analysis based on the k0. We used the free, low learning curve standardized Python programming language in the eScience project, which is part of the software, and the Django web framework with a simple and intuitive interface. In the system it is possible to register the detectors, radioactive sources and their manufacturers, projects and spectra, attributes necessary to calculate the absolute efficiency of an HPGe type detector. In addition to calculating efficiency, the system plots the graph with the efficiency points, trend curve, with possibility of adjustments, and error bar representing the uncertainties. The system issues reports on spectra and efficiency data for each project. The reports make it possible to check the data as well as its use in other applications. Because it is a web software, its access is allowed from any device with an internet connection. Another result obtained with the system is the reduction of the possibility of errors with the manual treatment of the data in spreadsheets.

Impact of Economic Vulnerability on Sustainable Development

The purpose of this article is to address economic vulnerability in sustainable development. The population of poor countries has a state that does not guarantee them minimum conditions of survival and sustenance, and in the pursuit of personal and social growth there is no concern with sustainable development. Countries that are in increasing poverty show a population that exploits the environment to its last resources. Therefore, the main objective is to address how countries with low economic and social development tend to exhaust natural resources in order to guarantee their livelihoods, while neglecting the need for sustainable development. Thus, the article was divided into three topics: the first dealing with sustainable development, the second on the financial and economic crisis and its social and environmental impacts, and finally the third dealing with how the crisis and the economic vulnerability of a country may result in the extraction of the available natural sources for their sustenance.The present research closes with the final considerations, in which are highlighted aspects about the environmental depletion in countries of low development. In the various phases of the research, the techniques of referent, category, operational concept and bibliographic research.

Wind Analysis over Multistorey Building Having Flat Slab-Shear Wall Interaction: A Review

Mariyam, Sagar Jamle

In high rise multistorey building there is a big problem to resist the lateral forces which are acting over it such as wind forces so it is important to make the structure more stiff. To counteract various lateral forces on a structure in which beam is not used, it is very difficult to make it stable. Furthermore, when the flat slab used in the structure, lateral effects are very high and the result parameters are very worst. In this paper, the approaches for finding the objectives which the researchers have already defined in their research, but no one have first designed the structure manually and then analyze the worst wind effects by software approach. Equivalent frame method is selected for the further analysis and data collection for software approach.

Application of the Internet of Things in the Development of a â€œSmartâ€ Door

In this article we propose the development of a prototype that consists of two systems that make a door "intelligent". These door-coupled systems allow a person through an application to have control and access to the door, gaining information about who the door is by unlocking and locking it without having to move to the door. For the development of these systems was used the microcontrollers of the esp8266 family, as these allow connection to wi-fi network, making other devices with access to this network can connect, such as a smartphone with application. During the development of the prototype one can observe the complexity for the production of the application and the communication between the systems by wi-fi. However, the low cost of systems and the availability of peripherals that allow the integration of these systems with the most varied applications, make electronic security accessible to all those who wish to enjoy, further enabling technological inclusion in society.

Control Management System for Air Conditioner via Power Line Communication Modem - PLC

With several technological initiatives developed with the PLC modem (Power Line Communication), among the most varied themes developed regarding the relationship from the characteristics of the electric distribution networks, the study in transmitting data through the electric network is to show that it is possible to transmit the data in a fast, reliable and safe way through the electric circuit well structured, thus adjusting the connections between the profit, the reduction of costs and the conservation of preventive maintenance, mainly in what concerns the reuse of electric network in already structured places. However, in addition to implementing control management, we have identified some reasons that have not made it possible on a large scale as an alternative for transmission with regard to interference and noise and how we pointed out solutions to this problem. Thus, we addressed technical characteristics between equipment, circuit structure, multiplexing, frequency, technical comparisons with other data transmission technologies and an overview of the market, evaluating and showing that this technology has the potential to enable the communication of data in low-voltage electricity networks to serve the specific school, meeting the requirements for protocol transfer, especially for monitoring applications, and rapid response. The explanations about definitions, advantages, disadvantages, requirements, the interfaces of the electrical system and other arguments, are portrayed in a didactic and simple way, in order to facilitate the understanding of this technology.

Parasitological Analysis of Vegetables in Natura Marketedat the Street Marketsin a City inside of Bahia

The quality of human health has direct relation to the condition of food. There is great concern about the hygiene situation of foods intended for human consumption, due to the ability to transmit diseases. The general objective of this study was to evaluate the parasitological contamination of vegetables sold in street markets of VitÃ³ria da Conquista-BA. Samples of chives and arugula were analyzed, collected at the main points of commercialization of vegetables in street marketsof VitÃ³ria da Conquista, in the State of Bahia. The results showed that 100% of the arugula samples and 80% of the chive samples were contaminated by parasites. The prevalence of contamination by Entamoeba coli cysts, cysts of Endolimax nana, followed by Larvae of Strongyloidesstercoralis. The identification of these parasites hasgreat importance, since theysuggest absence of hygienic and sanitary actions and point out the vegetables analyzed as a source ofemparasitoses transmission.Vegetables are foods commonly eaten by the population. The sanitation of these organic foods, especially those ones consumed in its raw way, is a public health concern, since they, when contaminated, may contain larvae, protozoa and eggs of helminths and serve as a source of transmission of enteroparasitoses to man.

Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Potential of Essential Oil of the Leaf of Passiflora Edulis

The passion fruit of the genus Passiflora edulis generally presents three forms of use, that is, the in natural form, pharmaceutical applications, and industrial processes. Currently, research has reported the increasing use of oils extracted from passion fruit leaves for the purpose of bacterial inhibition. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antimicrobial action of Passiflora edulis leaves extract against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcuspyogenes and Escherichia coli microorganisms using solvents with different polarities through disc diffusion and microdilution techniques. The oil extracted from the leaves of Passiflora edulis had satisfactory performance against the isolates of gram-positive bacteria S. pyogenes, in which it presented a good antimicrobial potential of inhibition compared to the other microorganisms tested. This action can be explained by the presence of constituents of the plant that cause this effect against the pathogen, such as: the presence of flavonols, proanthocyanidins, passion, polyphenols, tannins, aldehydes, among others.

Skin Disease Detection And Classification

Skin diseases are most commonly occurring in people of all ages and are caused by bacteria, infection or radiation. These diseases have various dangerous effects on the skin and keep on spreading over time. A patient can recover from skin diseases if it is detected and treated in the early stages and this can achieve cure ratios of over 95%. Hence, it is important to identify these diseases at their initial stage to control them from spreading. Skin diseases are primarily diagnosed visually, beginning with an initial clinical screening and followed potentially by dermoscopic analysis. Such a system is often prone to errors. The main idea of this project is to improve the accuracy of diagnostic systems by using Image Processing and classification techniques. In the proposed system, an image captured on camera is taken as input. This image will be pre-processed in order to make it suitable for segmentation by using Contrast Enhancement and Grayscale Conversion. Global Thresholding technique is used to segment the pre-processed image through which the actual affected region is obtained. Texture features, such as Energy, Entropy, Contrast, IDM, are extracted from the segmented image using Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix. Image Quality Assessment features such as MSE and PSNR are extracted. The extracted texture features will be used to detect the presence of skin disease and classify the disease as melanoma, leprosy or eczema, if present, using the Decision tree technique.

Profile and Behavior of Organic Products Consumer in Brazil

Adilson Anacleto, Luciane Silva Franco, Ana Carolina Fujimura Bertelli Cabral

Organic agriculture simply way can be understood as a model of food production management that reconciles good environmental practices in farming, aiming at maintaining a high level of biodiversity, preserving natural resources in order to obtain healthy food without residual chemicals. In this context, demanding for quality of life, a large number of consumers are modifying their consumption habits by inserting organic foods into their daily lives. However, there are few studies that reveal the profile and behavior of organic products consumer and in particular which factors may favor the expansion of the consumption of this type of food. Thus, in order to answer to these gaps in the retail market, a descriptive exploratory survey was conducted from June to August 2017 with 138 consumers, at the time they made the purchase of organic products. The study showed that the consumption of organic products in the sampling performed presented similar levels between the genders, as well as did not show variation in the consumption in relation to the age group. The organic products most preferred by consumers were tomatoes, potatoes and lettuce. The factors that limited consumption were the price that was classified as high, the difficulty of easily finding the desired product and the lack of promotions. The study also revealed that the factors that influenced the consumer behavior of organic products were the level of education, as they advanced in education, the consumption also advanced, as well as the consumer behavior of the family arrangement, and it was observed that as the number of people and economic income increased, the consumption of these products also increased. The adoption strategies shared between the retail trade that involve the adjustment of prices of organic products to the reality of consumers, the purchase of local production as a way of price reducing, and educational marketing campaigns can favor the commerce of organic products in the classes of lower purchasing power.

Isolda B. de A. Pacini, Humberto C. Frizzera e David N. Prata

The implementation of teaching and learning assessment to evaluate educational systemscan be consideredindispensable to Governmentsdue to the necessity for planning education public policies. In Brazil, the National Institute of Studies and Educational Research AnÃsio Teixeira (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e PesquisasEducacionaisAnÃsio Teixeira â€“ Inep) evaluates annually about 6 million students of 71 thousand units of public and private education, in more than five thousand Brazilianâ€™scities.This article presents a data analysis on the educational indicators of Tocantins State in Brazil. The data were collected on the website of Inep. The studentsâ€™ grades investigated in this work are from the5Âº year of public and private elementary schools of Tocantins State, in 2015.The researchâ€™s objective is to analyze the Inep indicators of â€œteacher effortâ€, â€œteacher formation adequacyâ€, and â€œteacher regularityâ€. These indicators were correlated with the studentsâ€™ average grade in the BraziliantestofPortugueselanguage and Mathematics. To achieve the purpose of this study, analytics software tools, statistics methods, and machine learning algorithms,were usedto statistically mine the database.This analysis allowed identifying teachersâ€™ indicators with statistical significancerelated to the schools that had better performance in the Inep Test.The results are being used by the Tocantins Brazilian Government to plan education public policies.

Lean Accounting: Economic-financial Performance of Companies with Lean Manufacturing

This article presents a study of multiple cases with four leading publicly traded companies on Bovespa (Brazilian Stock Exchange), before and after the implementation of lean manufacturing, evaluating economic and financial performance through primary and secondary data. Net income was the indicator that showed the greatest positive variation after lean manufacturing, although it increased indebtedness (over 200%) and storage (over 140%), indicating difficulties in conditioning suppliers to the production cycle. Lean manufacturing was not accompanied by accounting practices appropriate to the new productive environment, suggesting a rethinking of the management system, under the lean accounting approach, based on the value stream flow. The results are consistent with the view that lean thinking is a holistic business strategy and demonstrates the weakness in the spread of lean accounting in the corporate environment, which is necessary in order to optimize the overall results of a lean company. It is concluded that there is still a long way for lean Brazilian companies to develop a new organizational model and become lean enterprises focused on the flow of the value chain.

Model of Social and Environmental Scientific Research: A Theoretical test Applied to the Analysis of Environmental Public Policies and the Economic and Socio-Environmental Performance of Firms

This theoretical essay aims to bring up an empirical investigative scientific model based on the approaches of systemic and Cartesian thinking to explain the construct system of government policies and actions related to socio-environmental issues and the economic and social-environmental performance of firms. In this context, it is necessary to highlight the relevance of proposing the construction of a scientific research model to evaluate how socio-environmental issues and public environmental policies influence the economic and social-environmental performance of firms, from the epistemological and theoretical perspectives based on systemic thinking to shape the abstract mental model (conceptual model) of the observed reality and through the Cartesian thought to determine the prescriptive elements of the logical (operational) model of the investigative process. The construction of an empirical research model is an efficient tool to establish connections of distinct realities and their practices associated to search for borderline knowledge, through the appropriation of the epistemological knowledge, theories and the underlying techniques applied to theories. The investigation tool built for research is based on the variables of the conceptual model and the set of problematic situations in the business point of view, covering questions about environmental legislation, institutional instruments for direct regulation in the market; responsibility for environmental damage; international and regional socio-environmental agreements; environmental marketing, economic, environmental and social performance.

One of the factors that makes possible the variable condition within the same culture is known as agricultural georeferencing for the creation of maps and, more recently, the use of remotely piloted aircraft to acquire images of higher quality and more dynamically and cheaper, because it is a new technology, lacks regional technical-scientific information. The uses of remotely piloted aircraft help in the discovery of variables using images in a faster way, thus enabling the identification of factors that may interfere with production and take measures to correct them. The objective of this study was to monitor nitrogen fertilization coverage in wheat crops by remotely piloted aircraft (RPA). Nitrogen fertilization in wheat crops was managed of the two ways: conventional management and RPA management. The variables analyzed were yield (kg / ha) and economic analysis. The analysis of variance revealed a significant effect of nitrogen and non-significant between crops in relation to the variables response yield, revenue, expense and profit, evidencing the superiority of the RPA management in relation to the conventional one.

The contribution of the public policy â€œRede Certificâ€ to the industrial fishing sector in the coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil

This article brings a look at the professionalization of fishermen in the state of Santa Catarina (SC), the national leader in the capture of marine fish. It houses the largest fishing industrial park in the country, among the difficulties in professionalizing the sector, there is a migration of qualified fishermen to pre-salt oil exploration. To meet this need for qualified fishermen on the coast of Santa Catarina, the professional qualification course was implemented in the modality of recognition of knowledge through the public policy of the National Network for Professional Certification and Initial and Continued Training (Network Certific). The purpose of this work was to demonstrate the Certific Network in the training of fishermen to perform at different levels of experiences to be acquired on land and at sea. With a qualitative approach, the exploratory and descriptive research medium was used, with interviews to 30 actors during the period between May and July 2017, with an instrument containing closed, open and semi-structured questions. Data were expressed as means and discourse analysis, focusing on induction and deduction. It was noticed that the Certific Network contributed with the sector for the offer of certification through courses that the Marine of Brazil did not supply in sufficient quantity added to the fact that, in its systematics, it allows the recognition of practical knowledge, providing an empowerment of Lasse worker who felt marginalized by acting illegally. This experience can serve as an example for meeting the UN's ODS objective 8 and 14, by promoting full and productive employment, integrated with society.

Cardiac Activity Assessed in vivo and in Vitro in Rats Treated with Propiltiouracil (PTU)

Thyroid hormones interfere with cardiovascular functions causing morphofunctional changes in cardiomyocytes, evidenced by electrophysiological activities and hemodynamics. This study examined the implications of hypothyroidism on cardiac electrical activity in Wistar rats under experimental conditions in vivo and in vitro. It was approved by the animal ethics committee (CEUA-University of Gurupi-TO, Brazil), using 20 rats (male and / or female), randomly subdivided into 10 control rats (treated with water + aspartame) and 10 experimental rats (treated with water + aspartame + PTU) for 4 weeks. On the 31st day, in thestudies in vivo, the electrocardiographic tracings (ECG DL 660 Delta Life) were obtained with the anesthetized animals and, in the Langendorff preparation, the hearts were isolated and perfused in a chamber with electrodes (Ag / AgCl) connected to the ECG and recorded cardiac electrophysiological activity. In both protocols the analyzed variables were: heart rate (BPM), amplitudes (mV) of P, QRS and T deflections and intervals (ms) PR, QRS and QT. The results obtained were bradycardia, prolongation of the PR interval, QRS and QT interval in bothprotocols in vivoin and in vitro rats treated with Propylthiouracil (PTU). In theexperiment in vitro there was a reduction of P wave amplitude and no significant change in ventricular contractility compared to the control group. It is concluded that the deficit of thyroid hormones alters the functions of cardiac chronotropism and dromotropism evidenced by bradycardia and stretching of PR, QT and QRS intervals.

Regional development and Organization of space: An Approach to the Dry Port location using the Hybrid Method Fuzzy-AHP

The choice of an ideal location for a dry port is a complex decision, in which the impacts generated lead to the need to consider multiple criterion, subcriterion and points of view, creating group decision problems. In such complex problems and decisions uncertainty is often present. Therefore, this study employs the Fuzzy-AHP hybrid method in order to minimize the uncertainties arising from the judgments and operation of the multicriterion method. The study involved in its approach companies and municipalities of the region of Greater VitÃ³ria in the State of EspÃrito Santo (ES) and its potential hinterlands.

The Time of Application of Maturing Herbicides Affects the Physiological Quality of Canola Seeds

Canola (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) is a winter growing option for producers, however, harvesting is the phase that requires the most care and decision making to avoid losses in productivity. One of the alternatives that can be used to solve this problem is the application of maturing herbicides. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological quality of canola seeds with the use of herbicides, applied in two seasons, for pre-harvest maturation of the crop. The experimental design was a randomized block design, arranged in a factorial scheme 7x2 + 2 (herbicide x season + control) with four replications. Hybrid 50 canola plants received ammonium glufosinate, paraquat, glyphosate, diquat, saflufenacil, 2,4 - D and paraquat + diuron at two times in the crop cycle (G3 - when the first ten the main stem silica has a width greater than 4 cm, and G4 - when the first ten silicas of the main stem begin to mature), in addition to two unselected controls, for each season, the first being harvested on the day of application of the products, and the second kept in the field until the final cycle of the culture. First germination, germination, seedling length, dry mass, cold test and accelerated aging tests were performed. Herbicides applied in the first season (G3) cause the greatest damage to the seeds, and the plants that remained in the field until the end of the crop cycle and did not receive herbicide application (additional control), result in seeds with better physiological quality. The treatments with diquat, paraquat + diuron and glufosinate of ammonium presented higher efficiency with respect to seed quality, being the best period to carry out the maturation practice in the canola crop in the G4 season.

Elucidating the Chemical Properties and Potential Applications of Wood vinegars Produced by Controlled Thermal Treatments

Wood vinegar (WV) has been used for ages as fertilizer and antimicrobial agent, but its impacts on ecosystems are not well understood. Our objective was to investigate potential uses for WVs made from biomass resources and evaluate conditions for possible agronomic, chemical/pharmaco-chemical purposes and potential impact on the environment. We studied four woods vinegars made by slow pyrolysis using: Cambara (WVCam), Eucaliptus (WVEuc) at 350ÂºC for 72 h, Nim (WVNim) and Nim mixed with fresh Nim leaves and branches, soaked into WVNim (WVMix) at 120ÂºC for 40 h. WVs from WVMix, WVEuc and WVCam demonstrated significant potential chemical products, while WVNim for pharmaceutical purposes. WVs can be used to partially substitute fertilizers and chemicals, most especially WVMix. Soil bacteria tests suggest a concentration of 0.8% or less for WVs application in soils. No WVs tested presented risk for environmental and human health due to absence of carcinogenic poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Implantation of a Boarding System for Supervision and Angulometric Tilt Adjustment of beds in the ICU of the Adriano Jorge Hospital Foundation in Manaus-AM

Concern about the high mortality rates in ICU beds in Brazil, as a result of the acquisition of Pneumonia associated with Mechanical Ventilation (PAV), triggered a series of movements in an attempt to establish procedures for its prevention. Studies indicate that the maintenance of decubitus between 30 Â° and 45 Â° of inclination, attenuates the invasive effects of mechanical ventilation equipment and promotes the favoring of diaphragmatic performance, significantly reducing the hospitalization time of patients submitted to mechanical ventilation. However, the Hospital Infection Control Committee (CCIH) of the Hospital Adriano Jorge Foundation (FHAJ), through its collaborators, found difficulties in the regulation of ICU beds, due to the lack of adequate measurement equipment for regulation. Through the implantation of an embedded system in Arduino microcontroller and the association of several components of sensing and communication, the development of the inclination measuring device became possible. Equipped with an alphanumeric LCD display and an Ethernet network module, the auxiliary supervision and adjustment device proved to be the solution for the decubitus regulation process, since besides allowing local real-time gauging and visualization, the module provided the sending of information to the Hospital's internal network (LAN), enabling general monitoring from the computer screen. With the built-in audible alert system for improper slopes, the correct angulation for PAV prevention could be maintained at optimal levels, eliminating human failures from carelessness and giving patients greater treatment safety.

In reference to the monthly income of the family group, 65% of the interviewed affirmed that they receive from one to three minimum wages. According to the obtaining of the medicines, 33% of the participants purchase in public pharmacy, 35% in private network and 32% acquires in both parts. The approaching elements demonstrated the importance of implementing health care models that incorporate diverse individual and collective strategies in order to improve the quality of care and adherence to treatment.

Identification of elastic-plastic behavior in AHSS using the isotropic hardening model by the finite element method and EBSD

The aim of this work is to analyze the maximum potential for use of isotropic hardening model in the determination of elastoplastic behavior in an advanced high strength steel (AHSS) known as dual phase steel, with yield stress of 780 MPa. This material belongs to a class of steels currently used the feedstock in the production of vehicles. This material was chosen because it has a high elastic return or spring back effect, which commits the mass production of components, causing dimensional failures in projects. Consequently, it is a steel that presents a complex microstructural behavior during deformation. Mechanical properties of the material were evaluated by tensile tests. Mechanical characterization of spring back effect was carried out by means of sheet metal forming, called three-point air bending. These results were compared with results obtained by the Finite Element Analysis, using the isotropic hardening model. Microstructures were analyzed by means of EBSD technique and the structural fractions resulting from mechanical bending processes were identified, as well as, one of the main mechanisms of reorganization of the crystalline reticulum, measured by CSL boundaries, was identified. The 2D simulation and the isotropic hardening model used in ABAQUS was efficient to identify the mechanical response of steel in relation to its plastic deformation, concluding that it has a kinematic type hardening. However, such a model used in ABAQUS was not totally satisfactory to predict the degree of spring back, since such a model does not take into account reduction in the Young's modulus present in the AHSS.
