Supplier Performance Evaluation: A proposal based on Attributes and Development

The development of suppliers has emerged in the literature as a potential management strategy aimed at the search for competitive advantage by contemporary organizations. The adoption of evaluation measures as support instruments, in addition to providing opportunities for improving performance, also offers subsidies to buyers, managers, entrepreneurs and decision makers in activities that involve planning, operationalization, and supply chain integration. In the face of an increasingly technological context, forms of commercialization and relationships give rise to versatile methods, whose solutions are applicable to different situations and scenarios. In this sense, this work presents a proposal for a holistic approach based on attributes and practices of daily marketing, providing from this, supplier performance evaluation. To obtain it, the methodological framework consisted of a case study in a Brazilian television station, with emphasis on the suppliers that make up its supply chain. Results indicated that the adoption of the proposed evaluation method may represent a fundamental tool for buyers and those responsible for making decisions regarding contracting and strengthening strategic relationships. In addition, the findings suggested that the use of action plans with suppliers that presented unsatisfactory results has the ability to promote a positive relationship in building the partnership and improving performance.

Riboflavin ameliorates the L-NAME induced brain injury

Introduction: Oxidative stress has been associated with the pathogenesis of vascular disorders as hypertension and stroke. Studies have been carried out to identify preventive alternative therapies, including vitamins with antioxidant power. Methods: Twenty-four adult male rats (SHR-sp) were subdivided into four groups with six rats (n=6) each: control (not treated), riboflavin (B2 treated), B2 plus L-NAME, and L-NAME. Individual neurologic outcome status was appraised through maze, balance and motor tests. Oxidative stress serum markers (Homocysteine and Malonic Dialdehyde) were determined for each group. The hypotensive effect (p< 0.05) observed with L-NAME: 196.5 Â± 1.97mmHg (L-NAME plus B2), 195 Â± 3.3mmHg (B2); 235.3 Â± 2.16mmHg (control), 233.7 Â± 4.50 mmHg (L-NAME). There was neuroprotective effect of riboflavin in the response to those neurological tests. Regarding oxidative stress markers, animals treated with riboflavin showed lower values (p

Temperature control for weld paste: a proposal for improvement in the SMT sector

Lukas Haynner, Fabiana Rocha Pinto

Due to the great technological advance in the most varied segments of the automatic insertion sector, little is concerned with the temperature control of the weld paste that will be applied in the printed circuits (PCB), used in the most diverse equipment. Knowing that the process of applying the weld paste is one of the first steps of the sector, great attention should be paid to the quality of the weldpaste used, because the low efficiency in this step will generate great impacts for the other, as well as can impact the end customer. In order to give due importance to this stage of the manufacturing process this article shows the reality between equipment that has the control and temperature adjustment through air conditioners coupled to screen printer equipment, and those that perform the same function, however, without the control and temperature adjustment of the weld paste inside the equipment during the use and application of the same in the printed circuits. Performing a comparison between the equipment, it was observed how much an improvement not implemented for the whole plant, generated considerable impacts to the production process, which if it had been made could in addition to generate higher profits for manufactures, also generate greater confidence and customer satisfaction before the ready product produced with more quality.

Johnny Gustavo Rocha Velasquez, Fabiana Rocha Pinto

Water is an essential resource for the maintenance of life that everyone and it is up to all human beings to preserve our water resources. This work aimed to evaluate the physical chemical parameters of the water of the Urumutum stream, which is located on the INCRA road, in the rural area of the municipality of Tabatinga-AM. For the analysis of water quality, two collections were carried out, in a period of one month. The parameters analyzed were: ammoniacal nitrogen, electrical conductivity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved iron, nitrite, nitrate, Ph, temperature and turbidity. The results obtained in the laboratory analyzes were compared with the water quality standards established by CONAMA 357/2005, in which some parameters outside the established standards were observed. Being them, the electrical conductivity, BOD, COD, temperature and dissolved oxygen, showing high degradation of the water course generated by the accumulation of residential waste that consequently alters the water quality of the stream. Based on the study, it was possible to conclude that the water quality of the Urumutum stream is in a critical state due to anthropic actions. Public policies must be taken immediately in view of the fact that the lack of sanitation, added to the abandonment of public power, can generally cause serious problems in the health of residents, leading to an increase in diseases caused by contamination of the stream water.

Differential manifestation of teacher self-efficacy in Brazilian university professors in the health area

Self-efficacy has occupied the research space due to the relevance it holds as an explanatory mechanism of human performance to understand the characteristics of the population, the study analyzed the differentiation of beliefs of self-efficacy of university professors who teach in the health area according to gender, marital status, age, seniority at work, religion and training graduate academic. A cross-sectional and quantitative study was attended by 189 university professors working in a private university in northeastern Brazil. The differentiation indicate that Women perceive themselves more self-effective in the elaboration of didactic strategies to favor interaction in class; older teachers consider themselves more effective in didactic strategies for the planning of classes and postdoctoral teachers stood out for the higher sense of self-efficacy regarding didactic strategies for class planning, didactic strategies to actively implicate students and didactic strategies to favor interaction in class. Self-efficacy as an explanatory mechanism of human performance is determinant and therefore it is important to be enhanced in university professors for the pursuit of a higher quality of teaching-learning of future health professionals.

Using the Buriti Petiole (MaurÃtiaflexuosa) to teach biology from the perspective of Sustainability: Conceptions and Practices for high school teachers

Zilmar Timoteo Soares, Ana Beatriz da Silva Castro

This project refers to the constant concerns of those who are concerned with education, specifically, teaching practice regarding the use of teaching resources. Thus, the work aims to build teaching materials using as a raw material the buriti petiole as well as its products.The project was developed based on a literary review focusing on action research. 15 schools, 32 teachers and 350 students participated in the project. The practical part of the project started with cutting the material (petiole of the buriti), removing the bark and drying it in an oven. After cutting and drying, the stems were prepared for the production of teaching materials. The materials produced were: anatomical models of the human body; cells; food chain game among others. In the evaluation, the anatomical pieces were the ones that had the highest approval by teachers in 80%, whereas for students it was the game of the food chain 45%. Among the anatomical pieces, the skeleton had the highest appreciation by teachers 77%, while the kidneys drew more attention from students 48%. For the parents, the digestive system was 38%. Thus, materials constructed with buriti stalk become a mediating tool between biodiversity and the possibility of learning from natural resources.

Intellectual Property on Works of Art Made by Artificial Intelligence

ClÃ¡udio Lisboa dos Santos, Angela Machado Rocha

Rembrandt is considered as one of the greatest painters in the history of art in Europe and the world. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been gaining a field of academic study due to the possibilities of its use in several fields of knowledge. Its application can be in facial recognition, in music composition, art painting, among others. The objective of the work is to verify the ownership of a work of art made by AI based on the traces made by Rembrandt. The methodology research used was qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, bibliographic and case study. AI made a painting with similar characteristics to Rembrandt's works and a doubt arose about the intellectual property of the work. We conclude that because it is a new fact, there is no legislation to support the deed and as intellectual property is related to human invention, it cannot be attributed to the machine.

Emmanuel Nketiah, Mavis Adjei, Bright Obuobi, Gibbson Adu-Gyamfi

China's economy's progress and relations with other developing countries have received much attention, particularly how Sino-African relations have evolved since 2000. However, China's foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic development in Africa requires empirical assessment. This study investigates the causal effect relationship between GDP and China's outward FDI in Africa from 2003-2018 using panel data analysis. Contrary to the limited existing literature in Africa, an advanced econometric approach such as dynamic panel data estimation isused to ascertain the effect of Chinaâ€™s exports to Africa, Chinaâ€™s imports from Africa,Gross Annual Revenues of Chinese Companies' Construction Projects in Africa, and China's outward FDI to Africa. Our results suggest that China's outward FDI to Africa exerts a positive and significant impact on GDP. Moreover, there is a positive relationship between China's exports to Africa, China's imports from Africa,Gross Annual Revenues of Chinese Companies' Construction Projects in Africa, and GDP. The causal effect finds a short-term relationship between GDP and Chinaâ€™s outward FDIto Africa.The results show a strong implication in 39 Africa countries. More precisely, China's outward foreign direct investment in Africa and the Gross Annual Revenues of Chinese Companies' Construction Projects in Africa will surely have positive effects on the GDP (current US$) and the countryâ€™s economic growth.Thus, the study recommends implementing measures and policies to manage China's outward FDIto ensure robust economic development.

Work-life balance of engineering professionals: A bibliometric analysis

The concept of work-life balance refers to achieving a balance between professional and family life through the management, organization and prioritization of family tasks and work routines. This study aims to review the literature on the work-life balance of engineering professionals through a bibliometric analysis, evaluating the evolution of the concept since its inception. The study was based on a bibliometric analysis of 58 articles from the Scopus database, from 2006 to June / 2020. The following bibliometric techniques were used using the VOSviewer software: citation analysis, co-occurrence of authors and keywords. In addition, an analysis of publications by year, countries, institutions and most influential journals is carried out. The results show that this study presented significant managerial and academic contributions. In the managerial factor, it contributes to the fact that intervention policies on the part of the industries are carried out with engineers, in relation to job satisfaction, health and safety, which were the main aspects identified that impact on the work-life balance of engineering professionals. It is also worth mentioning the organizational climate, identified as a factor that impacts the satisfaction and, consequently, the work-life balance of female engineers, who live in a work culture dominated by men. As an academic contribution, it provides comprehensive data from the main authors, journals, institutions and countries that have shaped the literature in this field of research. When analyzing the gradual evolution of the concept over the years, it indicates that the theme has not been exhausted and studies are still needed to continue the research.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of altering the reciprocation range and speed of the WaveOne Gold instrument on its shaping ability regarding canal centering ratio and preparation time. Methods: Sixty simulated resin canal blocks with a S-shaped canal were divided into 6 equal groups according to the reciprocation range and speed of the primary WaveOne Gold instrument (n=10): G1: 170 counterclockwise (CCW)â€“50 clockwise (CW)/ 150 rpm; G2: 170 CCWâ€“50 CW/ 300 rpm; G3: 90 CCWâ€“30 CW/ 150 rpm; G4: 90 CCWâ€“30 CW/300 rpm, G5: 150 CCWâ€“30 CW/150 rpm, and G6: 150 CCWâ€“30 CW/300 rpm. Pre- and post-instrumentation images were superimposed, and centering ratios were calculated at 2, 5, and 9 mm from the apex. The time taken to complete canal preparation was compared and the incidence of instrument fracture was recorded. The mean/standard deviation values were analyzed using analysis of variance and the Tukey post hoc test. The significance level was set at P < .05. Results: Regarding preparation time, G2, G4 and G6 had the lowest mean for the preparation time, which was statistically significant in comparison with the other experimental groups (P < .05). Results for canal centering ratio showed that at 2, 5, and 9 mm from the apex there were no significant differences between all groups tested. Conclusions: Altering the reciprocation range did not significantly affect the shaping ability of WaveOne Gold primary instruments. Increasing the speed of WaveOne instruments resulted in faster preparation times.

Characteristics of Ocular Findings of Patients with Coronavirus Disease

The outbreak of COVID-19 spread rapidly to several countries, leading the World Health Organization to declare a pandemic situation. The correlation of this pathology with ocular structures has been discussed as a possible gateway to SARS-CoV-2. Given the urgency of information related to the control of COVID-19, this article aims to evaluate and expose the main ophthalmological manifestations resulting from viral infection by COVID-19. Methodology: This article proposes a review study regarding the current pandemic scenario. To this end, a search was carried out in the primary databases: LILACS, BIREME, PubMed in Portuguese and English, for articles based on current literature. The choice had taken place at random, obviously, following a line of reasoning of the authors involved. Discussion: A sequence of cases demonstrated the presence of SARS-CoV in the tear film by polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription (RT-PCR). Considering that SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are part of the same family of coronaviruses, and share genetic similarities, it is plausible that the same is observed in COVID-19. During COVID-19 infection, conjunctiva inflammation is the most frequent ophthalmologic manifestation. The most commonly reported ocular manifestations so far are conjunctival hyperemia and watery discharge. Conclusion: Although there is still no well-established evidence, recent studies suggest that tears may be direct sources of ocular transmission of COVID-19. Also, reports of ocular manifestations in patients infected with SARS-COV-2 are very scarce, making further research related to the frequency of these events necessary.

Implementation of Industry 4.0 and Robots in Production Processes of the Metal Industry

Edina KarabegoviÄ‡

We are witnessing major changes in all industries. Due to the application of new technological discoveries, new business methods are emerging, with the transformation of production systems, and a new form of consumption, delivery and transport. The course of development in the field of production in the world is directed towards Industry 4.0, which aims for production based on smart production processes. This requires the introduction of new technologies such as: robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, smart sensors, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), etc. The application of the first-generation industrial robots introduced rigid automation of production processes. The major deficiencies of the first-generation robots are that they were fenced and took up a lot of production space. The development of robotics technology and other new technologies has led to the development of the second-generation industrial robots. Compared to first-generation robots, collaborative robots have a number of advantages. Robotic technology is one of the most important technologies in Industry 4.0, so the application of robots in the automation of production processes, with the support of information technology, leads to â€˜â€™smart automationâ€™â€™, i.e. â€˜â€™smart factorâ€™â€™. The paper presents the implementation of industrial robots and Industry 4.0 in the production processes of the metal industry, as well as the possibility of increasing productivity, reducing time, and increasing the quality of product manufacturing.

Development of high School Biological Module based on Pictorial Riddle inquiry in Human Motion System

Riza Amrulloh, Suratno, Dwi Wahyuni

Global changes in the development of knowledge and technology, especially those related to the education system in schools, require a change in teacher attitudes in implementing classroom learning. Therefore, teachers are required to continue to innovate in developing learning models that can improve students' attitudes, skills and knowledge. This learning model is expected not only to prepare students as a generation who only follows the times, but also to prepare them as a generation that is critical, creative, and innovative in developing their potential in the future. However, in general, the level of creativity and critical thinking of students is still low. Some of the causes for dull student creativity and critical thinking are the low mastery of basic concepts. Thus, in this study, learning improvements will be carried out through the use of biology modules based on the pictorial riddle inquiry method to increase student retention as a support for the learning process. Therefore, it is necessary to improve learning biology, especially on the subject of human motion systems in the form of using biology modules based on the pictorial riddle inquiry method as a medium and / or a student learning resource. From this explanation, it is hoped that metacognition skills can be useful in increasing critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and student creativity.

Effect of Barite Concentrations on Oil Based Drilling Mud Density and Rheology

E. C. Ndubuisi, J. V Anaele, S.S. Mofunlewi

Drilling fluid is an essential element to the drilling process as most drilling challenges can be traced to the condition of the drilling mud used. Density and rheology are among the basic properties of drilling fluid usually defined by a well program and closely monitored during drilling operation. The sustainability of the density of drilling fluid is a key factor that needs deliberate monitoring to ensure that its density is higher than the formation density, so as to avert unexpected complications. Hence this research was aimed at investigating the effect of barite concentration on oil base drilling fluid density and rheology. Formulations and testing procedures were conducted in accordance with American Petroleum Institute (API) specifications. Experimental results showed that the increase of drilling mud is a direct function of increase in concentration of barite. It was also observed that when the barite concentration was 0%, the plastic viscosity decreased as the temperature increased meaning that the drilling mud sagged whereas an increase in barite concentration to 10% revealed an opposite relationship, the plastic viscosity increased as the temperature increased. The yield point at 0% barite concentration gave the least yield point; this signifies that the barite concentration aids in the carrying capacity of the drilling mud. It was also observed that the barite concentration can be used to make the fluid more pseudo-plastic in nature. The consistency index (K) increases as the barite concentration is increased, which indicated that the fluid becomes more viscous when barite concentration is increased. Therefore, results have showed that concentration of barite affect the density of drilling mud as well as rheological properties.

Isabela Morbach, Hirdan Katarina de Medeiros Costa

Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) emerges as one of the possible alternatives for managing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and consequently maintaining the temperature increase on the planet within acceptable limits. The definition of property rights and legal implications arising from it is understood as relevant along these lines. The present work aims to analyze how the legislation in force in Brazil treats the ownership rights of CO2 in the context of CCS activities, especially in the storage phase. The methodology is based on the literature review and on deduction about the legislation; also, the qualitative method is adopted. The results show that at the current level of Brazilian legislation, the delimitation of the property rights under study will occur through political decisions; later, the law shall regulate.

Reflections about the Relevance of Graffiti and Mural Painting in the Current Architectural Scenario

Mariela Camargo Masutti, Maria Aparecida Santana Camargo

The research that follows has as main objective to promote reflections about the relevance that mural painting, through graffiti, has been developing in the current scenario not only of urbanism, but also of architecture. There is a remarkable excitement in the market for this urban art, which has been conquering more and more space as art in galleries, museums and other spaces. What is perceived is the elitization and appreciation of what was once considered just an illegal expression of the less favored classes. It is also important to analyze that there is a gap between graffiti-art and delinquent graffiti, which are opposite positions with different plastic results. The finding is that graffiti is being increasingly coveted by the art industry that aims to win over new admirers and collectors, and the exploration of this practice has gradually grown in the areas of interior / exterior architecture, product design, advertising and advertising and fashion.

PLC based System for Measuring Concentration of Oxygen in Mines for Miners Safety with O2 Sensor

Ashish Kumar, Avinash Sharma, Kapil Dev Kansal

The health of the human being is always a primary concern of every industry. The mining industry is a risky business. The objective of this paper is to save miners life by considering one measure safety point, measuring the concentration level of oxygen before entering in mines for work. I have used Programmable Logic Control System for converting raw value (electrical signal) generated by O2 sensor to engineering value, which I will display using Human Machine Interface (HMI) readable by humans. As we are aware that in mines there are lots of gases flow in airstream and sometime chemical reactions occurs which affects composition of mine air, results oxidation reduces the percentage of oxygen. So before we enter in mines everyday for work we will measure the concentration of oxygen level in mine. As we already know that dry air contain 20.9470% of oxygen (21% O2) with 78% nitrogen and 1% other gases. We will program our logic by considering the 20% oxygen is present in our mineâ€™s atmosphere. If oxygen level varies below 20% than a alarm will trigger, that alarm will display on HMI and Operator will alert miners before any casualty occur.

Considerations about memory on electricity tariffs: A case study from Brazil

Brazil had experienced a history of very high inflation for many years, having flirted for some time with hyperinflation. By account of this historic, Brazilian society has become accustomed to an indexation that is very present in its the economy. This characteristic makes prices difficult to perceive by society in general. Even considering that nowadays they are under relative control in relation to inflation. Particularly in the electric power industry, a sector with strong regulation in Brazil, tariff fluctuations have been very volatile. Making this scenario even more complex, the sector is subject to a lot of government influence with intense reductions in the cost of electricity followed by severe readjustments. Although residential electricity tariffs were reduced in real terms between 2001 and 2016, a survey conducted with a group of consumers from two of the country's main concessionaires found that consumers perceived that electricity prices had been increasing. The authors identify that the complexity of price formation in the electric power industry and the economic crises experienced in more recent years lead to an erroneous perception about the memory of the prices practiced. Opportunities are identified for utilities and the Energy Regulation Agency to improve their communication process with their customers.

Microgrid Application of Four-Leg Three-phase Inverter

The On-grid inverters use energy from DC sources to feed AC consumers, and also the main grid whenever there is a surplus of energy, as distributed energy resources. A caveat of on-grid inverters generally implied by worldwide electrical standards imposes that whenever a fault occurs on the main grid, local generation must be shut off to prevent unintentional islanding. However, there are some applications where distributed resource systems could improve reliability, and on-grid inverters with off-grid function can continue to operate even when grid power outages occur, known as intentional islanding. Todayâ€™s micro-grids have better sensing capabilities and superior semiconductor technologies that allow faster response times and higher maximum ratings, improving micro-grid equipment isolation and control capabilities. In this paper, we review anti-islanding tests performed on on-grid inverters with off-grid function in Brazil for conformity assessments and present a case study of a 20 kW hybrid inverter.

The challenges of implementing an Electronic Waste Collection Cooperative in the Manaus Free Trade Zone

DÃ©bora Cristina Passos de SÃ¡

This article is about a project to implement an electronic materials recycling cooperative. The idea arose from the realization of a serious problem that was detected in the daily life of the city of Manaus: the disposal of electronic materials directly in the common garbage and even in nature, such as in areas of environmental preservation and in streams. The cooperative would be a third sector organization, providing a service that the government does not offer and that would also be the obligation of private companies that offer this type of product to society, which should carry out this type of activity and some do not. The Cooperative's main objective would be to work on efficient social marketing, capable of making society in general aware of the importance of giving this type of waste the correct destination, not to mention that the achievement of this objective would further strengthen its productive chain, thus making society in general start to collaborate with the organization and also with the preservation of the environment. As for the methodology used, the project for the implementation of the cooperative based in an incentive area was based on market research techniques, in addition the research is classified as exploratory with data collection through bibliographic research.

Anxiety, Depression and Quality of Life in Industry 4.0: A literature review

With an increasingly competitive labor market and rising unemployment rates, inadequate working conditions such as: low wages, unhealthy environments, excessive noise and heat, accumulation of functions, excess working hours and regime in different shifts, are factors that may contribute to the emergence of mental and behavioral disorders. In order to carry out this study, a systematic literature review was carried out using the Methodi Ordinatio method, through the following steps: selection of databases; definition of keywords and their combinations; definition of search criteria; extraction of searches from databases; elimination of duplicate articles; definition and application criteria for the exclusion of articles that are not compatible with the proposed theme. It was possible to identify that there is a low number of scientific productions that address the themes of quality of life, anxiety and depression, and industry 4.0, which is an opportunity for future studies.

Basic sciences applied to Bioengineering and its relations with the COVID-19 Pandemic

Recently, the experiences of countries affected by the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, better known as COVID-19, as well as the evolution of the disease and the number of deaths in the world, have generated evident changes and repercussions on a global scale. Many advances have occurred, but there are still significant challenges facing the government, scientific and clinical communities. In view of this global scenario, it arose the need to ensure that basic research remains active, focused on improving scientific theories, through the scientific foundation provided by basic disciplines in continuing academic education. Among them, bioengineering has played an extremely important role in translating basic science research into practical applications, known as translational science, promoting precisely targeted therapies. This is due to prior and well-founded knowledge in the basic disciplines, which makes it possible to address current and emerging challenges in health and biomedical innovation.

Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of two endodontic cements based on calcium silicate and Pulp Canal Sealer cement in human fibroblasts

During the gutta-percha filling stage, the endodontic cement can extend beyond the apex, interacting directly with the periapical tissues. Thus, endodontic cements should exhibit several positive biological characteristics, such as cytocompatibility. The objective of this study was to compare the cytotoxicity of two bioceramic endodontic cements, Bio-C Sealer and TotalFill BC Sealer, and of the cement and Pulp Canal Sealer based on zinc oxide and eugenol. For this purpose, human gingival fibroblasts (FG11 and FG15) were submitted to the cell culture medium conditioned by the cements (TFBCS Group: TotalFill BC Sealer Cement; BCS Group: Bio-C Sealer Cement; PCS Group: Pulp Canal Sealer Cement), and cell viability was evaluated using the MTT assay. The test was performed 48 and 72 hours after contact with the cement extracts (1:5 dilution). Cells cultivated in DMEM medium served as control. Descriptive analysis and data submitted to the ANOVA and Tukey's test (P

Influence of abutment diameter for platform switching on the biomechanics of internal and external hexagon posterior implants

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the reduction of abutmentâ€™s diameter for platform switching on stress distribution of single implant with external or internal connections using three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. Materials and Methods: A total of 8 virtual 3D models were constructed containing one single implant (5.0 Ã— 11.0 mm) in a mandibular segment supporting a single first molar screwed crown. The implants presented external or internal hexagon connections with UCLA abutment with different diameters: 3.8, 4.2, 4.6 or 5.0 mm. All structures were considered perfectly bonded and each model received a 200 N oblique load on the occlusal surface distributed on 8 points. The maximum tensilestress (Ïƒmax) and the maximum principal elastic strain (â„‡max) were calculated for the cortical and trabecular bones and equivalent Von Misses (ÏƒvM) for dental implant and abutment using ANSYS Workbench software. Results: The reduction of abutment diameter produced a reduction of stress values in bone tissue up to 3,6% in internal hexagon. On the other hand, the smallest abutment diameter for external hexagon connection produced the highest stress in surrounding cortical bone(53 MPa).The reduction of abutment diameter increased the stress and strain in both theabutment (up to 360%) and implant (up to 200%), regardless of implant connection. External hexagon connection presented the highest stress and strain magnitudes. Conclusion: The reduction of abutment diameter improves stress distribution in bone tissue, regardless of implant connection type. However, it increases the stresses within the implant and abutment, which could compromise their mechanical resistance.

The use of Moringa oleifera Seeds in the Treatment Water from the Negro River for Indigenous Communities in the State of Amazonas, Brazil

The poor quality of water intended for human consumption is one of the problems that has led to the appearance of several human diseases. The seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam. Can be used as a sustainable and low-cost alternative for water treatment. The aim of this study was to develop alternative methods of treating water for human consumption through the use of Moringa oleifera seeds. Water samples were collected at four points along the Negro River, in the state of Amazonas, for treatment with moringa seeds and simplified filtration systems. The samples were subjected to five types of treatment and compared to untreated samples and drinking water parameters, established by the Ministry of Health. Significant differences were observed in the following physical and chemical parameters of treated and untreated water: color, turbidity, dissolved solids total hardness, total alkalinity, electrical conductivity and ammonia content. The results suggest the possibility that moringa seeds can be used to produce better quality water for human consumption, especially in the case of people living in indigenous communities far from urban areas and without access to any type of water treatment.

Estimation of biophysical parameters to monitor and manage pasture using a mobile application

This study aimed to develop a mobile solution for the estimation cover of green vegetation, pasture height, and aboveground biomass of pasture using orthogonal images. Experimental plots of Panicum sp grass were photographed in two experiments. The first experiment yielded data on plot biomass and the second experiment on pasture height. All samples were automatically georeferenced using the GPS location function of the smartphone. For green cover area, the application uses a region-growing segmentation algorithm and conversion to HSV color space (Hue, Saturation and Value) to obtain the relation of the regions where pixels average in the green matrix and compare the number of pixels classified as pasture with the total number of pixels in the image. The method for estimating height and biomass divides into two parts. The first part is the extraction of characteristics from the images using texture parameters, vegetation indexes, and information about image shadow projections. In the second part, a regression model was developed using the SVR (Support Vector Regression) technique. The model provided accuracy of 0.518 and 0.647 for the estimates biomass and pasture height, respectively.

Time and productivity in the administrator's professional life

The administrator is a professional responsible for managing the necessary resources to achieve the organizational objectives. Among these resources, time is characterized as irreplaceable and indispensable for any activity, so knowing how to use it is a decisive factor for productivity, which is the ratio between the resources used and the results obtained, in several areas. Thus, time management tools were developed to help achieve professional and personal goals, with emphasis on Personal Strategic Planning. For this reason, the research sought to present the impacts of time management on the activities of the professional Administrator, and for that purpose it used the bibliographic research and the Delphi methodology. It was possible to conclude that the most valued professionals are those with a generalist view, flexible and adaptable and that the environment in which they find themselves is marked by great dynamism and competitiveness; that theories of time management are based on the conscious long-term planning of activities that have a real impact on the achievement of objectives, identified after a process of self-analysis and that management experts corroborate the theories presented about personal productivity.

Characterization of Serra Fishing, (Scomberomorus brasiliensis, Collette, Russo & Zavalla-Camin, 1978), In The Amazon Coastline

The present study aims to characterize the production of Serra Scomberomorus brasiliensis fisheries from the Amazon coast, through historical analysis (1997 to 2007). The capture fishery of Serra Scomberomorus brasiliensis on the Amazon coast has great socio-economic importance in fishing communities. Landings, species production during the period, types of vessels, fishing gear were evaluated, verifying the quantity and seasonality of landings based on the database of samples from the National Center for Research and Conservation of Marine Biodiversity of the North (CEPNOR). The research is of an interdisciplinary type and the data were analyzed separately by landing with the aid of spreadsheets and the STATISTICA 7 program. Total landing numbers were observed in the Serra fishing, which totaled 12,360 landings per year. The production landed in this fishery generated a total of 15,298,019 kg of fish, of this total 6,899,516 kg corresponds to the capture of the mountain range. However, continuous studies with a more biological and ecological approach are needed to ascertain the situation of the fishing in the mountains and, therefore, the implementation of public policies aimed at the preservation and conservation of the species.

Risk Factors and Sociodemographic Characteristics of Ischemic Stroke in Brazil â€“ A Systematic Review

Introduction: Ischemic stroke corresponds to 80% of cases in Brazil, which demonstrates its epidemiological importance in Brazil. The magnitude of this fact reflects the reason why stroke is considered the second leading cause of death in the world, and the leading cause of death in Brazil, in addition to being the second leading cause of cognitive losses. The main causes that promote the occurrence of ischemic stroke determine the conjuncture of risk groups. Such factors can be classified into modifiable, non-modifiable and potential risk group. Objective: The objective of this study was to systematically review the public health literature on the risk factors and sociodemographic characteristics of ischemic stroke in Brazil, by analyzing epidemiological studies conducted in Brazil. Methods: Systematized literature review conducted by searching the US National Library of Medicine (Pub Med), Scientific Electronic Library online (SCIELO), Latin American Caribbean Health Sciences Information System (LILACS), Science Direct and Embase, using the descriptors: â€œIsquemic strokeâ€, â€œrisk factorsâ€, â€œsociodemographic characteristicsâ€ and â€œBrazilâ€. 852 articles were found, of which 11 were selected to build the review by six reviewers independently. Results: Chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCD), such as stroke and ischemic heart disease, account for 63% or about 36 million of deaths worldwide, with emphasis on diseases of the circulatory system, diabetes, cancer and respiratory disease chronic. In Brazil, NCDs also present themselves as a health problem, corresponding to 54.0% of all deaths, in the year 2016. In the age group of 30-69 years, NCDs represented 56.1% of deaths. Conclusion: It is known today that stroke is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality among patients, being the majority in the elderly. It is associated with CNCDs, among which we mention hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. Such a disease is more common in men, blacks and those with low schooling, but in women it is more lethal, according to pre-existing data. Thus, new methodologies and analyzes need to be developed on the effects of the multiplicity of chronic diseases, which affect the elderly more intensely.

Evaluation of the Current Situation of Agricultural Production and Study on Technology Orientations in Agriculture for the North-Central Region-Vietnam in the Climate Change Background

Hoang Anh Nguyen Thi, Hoai Nam Do

The North Central Coast (NCC) is one of seven economic regions with a master plan for socio-economic development. North Central region, Vietnam is one of seven economic regions assigned by the Government of Vietnam to make a master plan for socio-economic. Due to the geographical feature of the territory stretching, narrow and wide, sandwiched between the East Sea and the Truong Son Range, the protected area is greatly affected strongly by climate change. Extreme weather conditions (droughts, floods, etc.) occur in a short time, leading to the production of agricultural strengths of the region such as food crops (rice, maize, cassava) and cattle herds (buffaloes, cows) and industrial crops (sugarcane, tea, rubber, pepper) all fell sharply. Moreover, the application of technology to agricultural production in the region is generally not commensurate with the potential. Facing the new context of climate change and its consequences, the application of high technology of agriculture is more complicated, requiring us to choose the appropriate technology orientation. Therefore, the evaluation of the status of agricultural production and the study of priority technology orientations in agriculture in the northern central region in the context of climate change are meaningful and practical for managers in local. Research in the North Central Coast region is also an initial proposal, promising to be a premise for application of research in other localities across the country.

Renata de Almeida, Lusinalva Leonardo da Silva, MaurÃcio Afonso VerÃcimo

The genus Pouteria, of the Sapotaceae family, is composed of plants that have representatives with great potential to be used in herbal formulations in order to combat pathogens and treat diseases that affect human health. Triterpenes and flavonoids are the most common constituents found in this genus. Despite the various uses of these plants in folk medicine to treat fever, inflammation, skin rashes, ulcers, diabe-tes, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, pain and promoting lactation. Few scientific studies proving their safety and therapeutic effectiveness. Studies found in the literature make references that the species of the ge-nus Pouteria presents promising results as immunomodulator, antidiabetic, antioxidant, neuroprotec-tive, hepatoprotective and antimicrobial among other actions. This genus can be better investigated for use in herbal formulations that aim to combat or treat numerous diseases, including some like cancer and diabetes that still has no cure. In view of this and in view of the increasingly frequent search for nat-ural substances that have effective therapeutic activities, this review highlights the great biotechnologi-cal potential, as well as the main therapeutic applications of species of this genus found in the literature and to stimulate new studies on the use of these plants in the treatment and even prevention of various diseases. For this, a survey was carried out on the topic in the main sources of scientific research in the period from 2010 to 2020, leading us to conclude that this genus can be a potent ally in the search for new phytotherapy drugs of great benefit to human health.
