DAM as a primary method of structural steel design for stability

Ronaldo Muvunyi, Prof. Lei Hongang, Cheng Xin, Simbarashe Charekwa

Transitioning from a method that does not account for all types of loads, geometric imperfections, and construction flow to a reliable method; the best way is to evaluate their feasibility by design practice. This paper displays a comparative analysis of Effective Length Method (ELM) and Direct Analysis Method (DAM) as the main approaches to stability analysis and design of steel structures. Afterward, the paper detailed the DAM application with second-order analysis to account for P-Î” and P-Î´ effects, notional load for geometric imperfection, and flexural and axial stiffness reduction to account for inelastic effects. Verification on a 10-story building illustrated DAM to be more comfortable, faster, and ensuring that second-order effects are entirely performed. As the ELM is limited to Î”2nd order/Î”1st order < 1.5, the design analysis check results illustrate that second-order analysis in the DAM leads to a feasibility analysis of ELM.

Mary Rexcy Asha S, Ayshwarya S, Pragathy N A

Food adulteration is an expanding matter because of multilevel food supply networks together with tampering of information on the merchandise product packaging. Within the current technique, the meals bundles don't include the appropriate specifics as meals compounds, manufacturing date, supplier details, along with expiry day. Thus, the end-user or maybe the buyer doesn't have some understanding of that particular item's origins. So as to stop this particular, as well as a computer, monitor the quality of the meal together with a rise inside the transparency of administered information, this particular food resource chain control device is suggested to develop a tamper-proof electronic data source of the meals bundles in every amount. Thus, that suggested method presents the idea of Blockchain engineering, placing ahead the use of Blockchain technologies containing info protection on the food supply chain as well as evaluating it together with the conventional source chain program using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). We have achieved the accuracy level on comparing with existing system.

Ripon Roy

The purpose of this study is to Determinants of labor unrest in the Bangladesh readymade garments industry. The readymade garment (RMG) sector has been playing an important role in the overall economic Development of Bangladesh. Due to the labor unrest there has been huge loss of production and some of the garments factories were ruined by protesters, several laborers were killed and lots of injured and arrested. It is said that there were legitimate demand of the laborers which should have been addressed by the owners. But these demands were not addressed which created the grievance the laborers. In course of the time these grievance bolstered the unrest. In this connection, this study tried to find out the factors behind the unrest in the ready-made garment industry of Bangladesh and identifies some measures to improve the situation. In this study, 545 workers were interviewed from the different garment factories located in Savar, Gazipu and, Narayanganj district of Bangladesh. Data were analyzed with factor analysis, correlation analyzed, and regression model and by using other suitable statistical tools. The results show that the main causes of labor unrest include Health and hygiene, safety problem, working hours and leave, wages and payment, Labor union and ownerâ€™s relations, political violence effect. If the policy makers of Bangladesh consider these causes and make policies to overcome the problems the labor unrest in garment sector may be minimized. Data analyzed using SPSS 23.0.

Dynamic decoupling in reinforced concrete columns in structural core shape and applied to bridges

Weslley Imperiano Gomes de Melo, Normando Perazzo Barbosa

Bridges that are designed to transpose large valleys generally show low stiffness to the lateral bending and, therefore, it is not convenient to use the static modeling of the wind actuation. In this context, due to the large volume of concrete required for the molding of the pillars, it is fitting to design them with a cross section composed of thin walls, in order to confer economy, and with one of the faces open and braced by lintels to guarantee greater stiffness to the deformation by bending due to the performance of the shear forces. Such dynamic modeling of the pillars activates bending-torsion and presents stiffness to the structure bending divided into two matrices: [J] and [S]. Due to the structural stiffness not being bonded in a single matrix, RayleighÂ´s proportionality in the damping matrix assembly [C] does not apply. Thus, the formulation for such an assembly of [C] is proposed in this paper via the first three vibration modes of the structure. It models, with examples of application, a bridge with a deck backed on three pillars shaped as structural core braced by lintels and of thin-walled sections. Such pillars, with axes referenced in the torsional center of each, are inclined of Î² in relation to the global referential of the bridge coordinates, in order to apply the decoupling process of the differential equation system that governs the phenomenon and the resulting referential transformations. The vibration modes are verified by modeling with the ANSYS 2019 R1 software academic version.

New bar finite element for modeling massive columns with linearly variable rectangular section

Weslley Imperiano Gomes de Melo, Normando Perazzo Barbosa

In this article, the stiffness matrix of a column with linearly variable rectangular cross section along the longitudinal axis is obtained. As it is well known in structural analysis, the stiffness matrix can be obtained by inversion of the flexibility matrix. So, the terms of this matrix for variable section beam are obtained via the energetic method of the principle of virtual works. Parameters called Î±_i,Î±_f,Î²_f and Îµ are obtained and they are valid only for sections with variable dimensions. The stiffness matrix is then obtained in function of these parameters, from de inversion of the flexibility matrix.Finally, the modal analysis of the abutment is carried out for the case of the support of a bridge 100 meters high, whose numerical validation of the new bar finite element is performed by means of an exact solution by the Continuous Medium Technique (CMT) and by modeled finite elements in Ansys academic version.

Bianchini P.P.T., Cardoso S.B., PantaleÃ£o J.A.F, Okura M.H.

Aquaponics is amethod of food production that integrates two types of cultivation in one unique place. Fishes and plants can be cultivated in this system, where the fish are maintained in recirculating aquaculture system and the plants in hydroponics (cultivation of vegetables without soil). In order to demonstrate that aquaponics is an alternative for the cultivation of vegetables and also a possibility of water treatment, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the water quality of an aquaponic system composed by lettuces (Lactuca sativa) and lambari fishes (Astyanax bimaculatus). Additionally, we evaluated which is the best civil construction residue (gravel, brick and expanded clay) for lettuce cultivation. The microbiological and physical - chemical monitoring of the system was carried for 42 days, and water from the fish tank was analyzed every 15 days, in the decanter, in the sump tank and in the cultivation bed. The microbiological analyzes consisted in total and thermotolerant coliforms and heterotrophic mesophilic count. For physical â€“ chemical parameters, we analyzed pH, Dissolved oxygen (DO), Toxic Ammonia and Nitrite. Additionally, the development of lettuce in the three different civil construction residues was determined by the average total weight, average leaf mass and average root mass of the plants. We concluded that there was total and thermotolerant coliforms in all the stages of the collection. There was a better growth of the lettuce in the substrate of broken brick, followed by expanded clay and finally by crushed stone.

The World Health Organization (WHO) characterizes elderly people who are 60 years old or older in developing countries and 65 years old in developed countries. In Brazil, it is considered elderly from 60 years, based on the Elderly Statute and public policies related to aging (Santa Catarina, 2018). The objective of this study is to analyze the profile of hospitalizations of the elderly in the State of AmapÃ¡. Retrospective study with a quantitative approach on the profile of hospitalizations of elderly people in the State of AmapÃ¡, from April 2018 to April 2019, as a data source, DATASUS was used. The results show that in the period between April 2018 and April 2019, there were 4,453 hospitalizations in the state of AmapÃ¡ for elderly people over 60 years of age, representing 10.60% of total hospitalizations. The main causes of hospitalizations are diseases of the circulatory system, with (24%), followed by 14% of diseases of the respiratory system. In addition to finding that 46.4% (2,067) of hospitalizations for pathologies and injuries are in the age range between 60 and 69 years. It concludes that the state of AmapÃ¡ with its local health system needs to reorganize its hospital structures, with the insertion of indicators that favor actions to improve the quality of care. Evidencing primary care as a gateway for this population, in order to improve the quality of life of these people and reduce the burden on hospital institutions.

Mortality of Coffee Berry Borer, Hypothenemus hampei in Field, with Pre and Post Application of Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Associated to Emulsifiers

The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari, 1867) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) presents a cryptic life cycle, which occurs all within the fruit, which makes its control a difficult task. For this reason, one of the methods that has stood out is the biological control through the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae). However, the efficiency of this fungus is conditioned to environmental factors, such as ultraviolet radiation, temperature, humidity, concentration, correct application, among others. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the mortality of coffee berry borer, pre and post application of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana associated with emulsifiers under field conditions. The experiments were conducted in three farms in different locations. The fungus isolate used was the PL63, and emulsifiers (Gum arabic and X1) evaluated were gum arabic and X1 (product subject to patent). Two modes of application were performed: pre and post the coffee berry borer release. In the pre-application, the fungi were mixed in with the emulsifiers and the pure, and after thirty minutes, the coffee berry borer was released. In the post-application, it released the insects, and after 24 hours, the fungus was applied with the emulsifiers and pure. All treatments tested showed coffee berry borer mortality; the emulsifying agents (Gum and X1) in admixture with the fungus B. bassiana, did not increase the mortality of coffee berry borer; the application of the fungus B. bassiana before the entry of the drill into the coffee fruit, resulted in higher mortality.

Characterization of silicon-manganese iron slag for employment in base and sub-base layers for highway

The impact generated by the waste from the steel industry has prompted a series of discussions about the most environmentally friendly forms of final destination, such as reuse of byproducts resulting from the process of metal alloy generation. This is even more relevant after the environmental disaster in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2015, when a tailings dam broke, causing widespread destruction of towns and pollution of rivers. To mitigate these problems, this paper presents the results of ongoing studies for the characterization of silicon-manganese iron slag and its potential application in mixtures with soil for the construction of base and subbase layers of highway pavement. Some methods used are traditional, such as measurement of granulometry, bulk density, absorption and Los Angeles abrasion. Others have more recently been applied to characterize aggregates, like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and aggregate image measurement (AIM). Complementarily, due to the vitreous appearance the slag, ductility results are reported, obtained according to degradation after Proctor compaction testing and determination of shock loss in a Treton apparatus. Finally, the results already obtained, along with those of studies with the same material for rail ballast and asphalt concrete, show that silicon-manganese iron slag presents geotechnical properties compatible with those established in the specifications for use in base and subbase layers of highways.

Onwubuya M. N., Odior K. A.

This paper present mathematical modelof local and global integral for elastic plastic damage mechanism of displacement discontinuity. The discrete nature of stress intensity factor approach where there is large scale yielding is inadmissible; hence, continuous energy path contour analysis becomes crucial. The simple energetic path can easily be evaluated computationally and the most prevalent method. However, fails to account for dynamic effect, kinetic energy and thermal effect, body force and effect of surface traction. The research is focused on deformation contour analysis of elastic-plastic void growth. In this paper, local and global representation of deformation field near a crack tip due to loading was examined using Divergence theorem and energy balanced method. The local integral is equivalent to energy release rate for nonlinear elastic materialunder quasi-static condition. The global J- Integral captured thermal effect, body force non zero surface traction and effect of plasticity. The integral permits more accurate analysis possible for all deformation fields including very close proximity of crack tip and all categories of material.TheFatigue crack growth analysis was developed to support economic fail safe and damage tolerance philosophies, and the execution, effectuation of damage tolerance control procedures for the workings of structural systems.

Comparison of Sanitary Sewage Treatment Systems: Nereda in Relation to the Stabilization Pond Treatment System in the Legal Amazon

Ericles Bruno Muniz Novais, Diogo Pedreira Lima

The difficulty that great nations often suffer in relation to the lack of efficient basic sanitation for their entire population has, over the years, become a concern of global proportions. Although the rate of service with sewage collection corresponds to a high percentage of active water connections in suitable areas in Porto Nacional in the state of Tocantins, (City and therefore, state belonging to the legal Amazon) when we look at the total scenario of the Amazon Legal, only a small percentage of people living in these areas are served with sewage collection and treatment. Knowing then that the percentage of a given population served with collection and an effective sewage treatment system is directly related to the quality of life and health of its population, this work set out to present the innovative Dutch sewage treatment system that emerged on the NEREDA patent, compared to the conventional sewage treatment system used in the city of Porto Nacional - TO. Finally, the objective of this study was to present this Dutch technology based on public domain data presented by Brazilian bodies and entities, as well as other studies already carried out and the data of the company that owns the patent. Although still little known in the world, this technology presented great potential both qualitatively and economically because it presented a greater amount of treated sewage per second with quality equal to or greater than other methods, in addition to low implementation value due to the possibility of use most of the existing treatment plants.

Maria Paula de Moraes Jardim, KÃ¡tia Barbosa MacÃªdo, Daniela Ponciano Oliveira

This theoretical article aims to analyze startups as a way of coping with entrepreneurs in the context of unemployment and precarious work. It presents a contextualization of labor relations, which results from the global macroeconomic crisis, which deteriorated the process of global economic growth in the period between 2011 and 2016, its implications for the Brazilian market, and the repercussions on the employment situation in the country until 2019. About the understanding of the development requirements of startup entrepreneurs, the concepts of entrepreneurship, innovation, disruptive innovation, as well as startup and business incubators will be addressed from a historical-conceptual perspective. The incubators, besides offering the physical space, aims to develop entrepreneurs by promoting an entrepreneurial culture from the academic environment.The question that emerges from this analysis indicates that entrepreneurship has presented itself as an alternative route and by necessity, to subjects in conditions of unemployment and discouragement in the face of labor market difficulties.

Execution Manual and Preventive Maintenance in Residential Works

Despite the continuous growth of civil construction, problems such as lack of maintenance have still been a major reason for disasters. And this process is regulated by rule, because it is part of the system in which it is necessary to correct pathologies and in order to maintain conditions of use of the building. Any and all residences must undergo this maintenance process, whatever the type, and preventive maintenance must be followed in order to maintain routine care to guarantee quality, durability and good performance of the facilities and services. Through a form, which was applied to professionals linked to residential construction, in a descriptive way a manual was developed, which through the results obtained was able to generate important tips as to pay attention to some processes in the execution and the attention that must be taken frequently , and when necessary performing routine maintenance. The most important points that were raised in the manual are the cold water and sanitary installations, services on walls and roofs that generate frequent wear and which causes the loss of the performance of the system as a whole. The intention is to raise the importance of paying attention to these repairs that are repeatedly observed and to be more careful when building with the proper techniques and labor and even after delivery, for the user's responsibility to keep a close eye on the expiration dates of each element inserted in the residence.

Physical-Chemical Characterization of Peri River, Pontal do ParanÃ¡, PR, Brazil

Rivers always went too utilized for the populationâ€™s benefits, however, environmental impacts caused by humans have resulted in aquatic ecosystems degradation. This fact decreases biological diversity and impairs water availability. Amongst elements which could be quantified to evaluate the impact caused anthropically are phosphorus and nitrogen since the increase of their levels in rivers could result in artificial eutrophication. Thus, the aim of this work was to evaluate the Peri River (Pontal do ParanÃ¡ â€“ PR) in a spacetime perspective, between 2018 and 2019. It was measured the pH, dissolved oxygen, electric conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity, air and water temperature, phosphorus, nitrate, and ammonium in 8 samples points. The majority of the parameters got compatible values with the established with 357/2005 CONAMAâ€™s resolution, even the results of the ammonia ion in May 2019 in the points 1, 2, 3, and 4 have shown high values, likely as consequence as leachate from the dump. The parameter pH in point 8, localized in the river source has shown acid values due to soil leaching or the introduction of chemical substances adjacent to this place. As well as past studies, phosphorus has been showing elevated values, which in this set sample collections, data are 50 folds higher than to the established by the CONAMAâ€™s resolution, making the Peri River susceptible to eutrophication and environmental deterioration. We concluded that Peri River has been suffering gradually with anthropic impacts, thus, preventive and palliative actions must be taken immediately against the anthropic actions.

Competitiveness Analysis Railway Propulsion System Industry in Indonesia - Pre Feasibility Study

Setyo Margo Utomo, Bagus Anang Nugroho, Triyono Widi Sasongko, Agus Krisnowo

Competitiveness analysis, manufacturing capability and pre-feasibility studies have been carried out in the rail propulsion system industry in Indonesia, particularly the traction motor industry (PT. PINDAD). The results show that currently the propulsion system industry is still less competitive, this is because the price of the products is still expensive. From the pre-feasibility analysis, the unit price of the traction motor for the capacity of 100 kW is still around US $ 130,000 / unit (with a production capacity of 40 units / year). The high cost of traction motor products of PT. PINDAD is suspected because of a limited market (only domestic), there are still many components imported and the manufacturing process is still not optimal. Therefore, to meet the feasibility scale, the unit price must be reduced to at least US $ 100,000 / unit (reduces 23%). This can be achieved if the production capacity is at least 100 units per year by penetrating the market and optimizing the production process.

Survey of Potentially Host Weeds of Planococcus spp. in Coffee Crops

Planococcus spp. can cause losses close to 100% of the conilon coffee production in highly infested crops. It is a polyphagous pest that affects several cultures and can be present in host plants that appear spontaneously in the cultivation areas. In this context, the objective was to carry out the survey of weed hosts for mealybug in conilon coffee crops relating to the phenological stage of the culture. For this, the survey was carried out in two areas cultivated with conilon coffee in the northwest region of the state of EspÃrito Santo, Brazil. Weed collections were carried out monthly, in both locations, for a period of 12 months. 17 weed species were found, distributed within 9 different botanical families, being: Asteraceae, Malvaceae, Poaceae, Amaranthaceae, Cyperaceae, Solanaceae, Commelinaceae, Portulacaceae e Cucurbitaceae. Thus, Planococcus spp. it can stay and complete its cycle in weeds, being a source of inoculum that can contribute to infestations in the reproductive phase of the conilon coffee.

Pedro Alexandre da Cruz, Leandra Cristina Crema Cruz

The Coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19, has taken the lives of several thousand people worldwide, causing many regions and countries to order the closure of their borders, with yet unpredictable global consequences. This pandemic represents a global public health emergency that has never been seen in recent times. In this work, we conducted an investigation of the current coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) in the State of SÃ£o Paulo, Brazil, from a mathematical modeling perspective. We seek to describe the different paths of dynamic transmission of infection, the size of the epidemic in the State of SÃ£o Paulo and to emphasize the role of strict isolation policy in the transmission and dissemination of COVID-19. This research is based on a new mathematical model that is an extension of the SEIR family of compartmental models. As a result of the computational simulations, we show how the social measures of isolation, quarantine and treatment/monitoring of the infected individuals can influence the model parameters and change the cases rates of infected individuals and individuals exposed over time. The predictive capacity of this model, like most mathematical models, is limited by the accuracy of the available data. Problems regarding the accuracy, standard and reliability of the available data are beyond the scope of this work.

Reuse of expanded Polystyrene for waterproofing production and Application in Civil Construction

The expanded polystyrene known commercially as proportional, is very present in our daily lives, showing great uses, in this way, it has become a very popular element. Because it has high volumetric features due to its composition of 98% air and only 2% polystyrene, the recycling becomes unattractive to disrupt the environmental effects caused by its misuse. Currently, the use of technologies in conjunction with alternative inputs, such as styrofoam, are considered major innovations for the civil engineering market, with a tendency to provide cheaper construction, achieving excellent results. This work aims to reuse expanded polystyrene for the production of waterproofing using solvents and vegetable oil. The present work has shown positive results capable of protecting the building elements and components against harmful water actions.

What is expected is that this research can serve as a basis for planning, executing and evaluating actions to promote, prevent, control and treat cancer in women in RondÃ´nia.

Viscosity Control of Vegetable Oils Applied to the Diesel Cycle Generator Group in an isolated community in the Amazon

This article proposes a sustainable way to generate electricity for isolated communities in the Western Amazon, using vegetable oil, heated in a heating tank, as a fuel to diesel cycle generators. Vegetable oil under high temperatures reaches a viscosity like diesel oil and does not cause damage to the generator's starting and fuel injection systems. Through mathematical and computational models, it is possible to control the temperature and the oil viscosity through sensors to reach a complete combustion of the fuel. All of this contribute to the development of the population of isolated communities that suffer without access to electricity.

Influence of the Operating Temperature and the Solar Irradiation in a Photovoltaic Panel: An Experimental Analysis

The search for real solutions that meet the growing demand for energy in the global scenario has been the subject of studies around the world for the scientific community. Renewable sources and technologies are investigated for the replacement of fossil fuels, non-renewable and with high potential for environmental degradation energies. Renewable energy that highlights in the area of sustainability is solar energy, due to environmental, social and abundance aspects. Despite obtaining electricity directly from the solar incident in a photovoltaic system, approximately 80% to 90% of the incident energy is converted into heat. This heat results in an increase in the operating temperature of the photovoltaic panel cells, causing a 0.45% decrease in panel yield for each degree Celsius [Â°C] added from the standard test conditions: 25 Â°C, 1 kW/m2 and 1.5 kg of air. In the present paper, an experimental analysis of the influence of the operating temperature and the solar irradiation in the voltage generated by a photovoltaic panel was presented, in order to understand the importance of the control of the operating temperature of a photovoltaic panel. The results prove that the generated voltage is directly connected to the operating temperature of the photovoltaic panel. A rise in solar irradiation elevates the produced voltage. However, the increment of the operating temperature of the panel results in a gradual loss of voltage produced.

Agroecology and Empirical Knowledge in Brazilian Quilombol Communities

Agroecology has presented itself as an excellent research tool in understanding the countless ways that people relate physically, culturally and spiritually to the environment.However, little attention has been given to ecologically sustainable alternative practices as ways to reduce the impacts generated by traditional production and that cause damage to biodiversity, especially in quilombola (slave-refugee) communities, where the human-plant relationship is very intimate. In this context, the present work aimed to carry out a survey of agroecological practices developed in Brazilian quilombola communities, which are communities where direct descendants of the slaveswho were brought to Brazil, at the time of their colonization by the Portuguese, live. The research consists of a literature review with a qualitative approach, in which articles available on the Google Scholar platform were selected. Thus, in light of the studies analyzed, it was possible to describe agroecological practices present in quilombola communities, such as: Management of heirloom seeds; Use of the moon phases for guidance on plantations; Production of native seedlings, and even verifying the efficiency of the application of participatory methodologies such as Agroecological exchanges in backyards to learn about the practices and limitations encountered by residents in food production.

Use of Assistance Protocols for the Screening of Diabetic Neuropathy in Primary Care: An Integrative Review

The objective was to conduct a survey on scientific evidence regarding the screening for diabetic neuropathy and the use of care protocols in the period from 2015 to 2018. It is an integrative review, with a search for articles in the LILACS, SCIELO, BDENF and databases MEDLINE. Twelve articles were selected, from 2015 to 2018, analyzed using Strauss and Corbin and the IRaMuTeQ software. The largest number of publications occurred in 2017, with 9 (75%) on MEDLINE, all publications (100%) are quantitative in nature, there was a predominance of 9 articles (75%) with Level of Evidence 4. The majority, 11 (91.6%) highlighted the importance of the effectiveness of the association of sociodemographic data and lifestyle, neurological tests and the use of questionnaires. In the Word Cloud, the three most cited words were Peripheral (64), Diabetic (45) and Neuropathic (43). The most cited tests were Monofilament (8) and Tuning Fork (3) and the type of evaluation was the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument MNSI (7). Four categories were identified, namely: â€œImportant risk factors in the screening for Diabetic Neuropathy (DN)â€; â€œND and associated factorsâ€; "Prevention of diabetic foot" and "Application of MNSI for screening of DN and evaluation of muscle strength for degree of impairment of DN". It is concluded that there is an approach on the forms of neuropathic screening, however the presence of assistance protocols was not identified, which would aim to facilitate this screening. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the formulation of care protocols for the screening of DN.

Physiological Quality of Maize Hybrid Seeds Treated with Copper Nanoparticles

Carlesso L.C, Lajus C.R, Steffens J., Steffens C.

In corn, several factors determine productivity, especially those inherent in planting and the quality of seeds. Nanoparticles that contain some essential element in plants are classified as nanofertilizers, which are allegedly more efficient than traditional fertilizers. The experimental design used was the Randomized Block Design (DBC), in a factorial scheme (5 x 5) with 3 repetitions. The seeds of corn hybrids treated with copper nanoparticles were subjected to germination and seed vigor tests. The data were submitted to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) by the F test (pâ‰¤0.05), for the nanocopper doses, regression analysis (pâ‰¤0.05) was performed with the choice of mathematical models through the coefficient of determination (R2). Differences between means were compared using the Tukey test (pâ‰¤0.05). Seed vigor was assessed by testing the first count and germination speed. Corn hybrids showed an average of 95.6% in relation to normal plants, not expressing a significant difference between them. The results indicate an optimum value for the seed treatment time and for the concentration of copper nanoparticles in the reaction medium. The longer the seed treatment time and the higher the concentrations in the reaction medium, it is possible to incorporate higher amounts of nanoparticles to the seeds without the treatment. The presence of nanoparticles in the seeds did not affect the germination speed per hybrid. This indicator shows that nanoparticles do not interfere with metabolic mechanisms in the germination phase.

User perception of the interpersonal relationship with the nurse about the assistance received in the HiperDia program

The objective was to identify the user's perception of the interpersonal relationship with the nurse regarding the assistance received in the consultation of the Hiperdia program, based on the different roles that the nurse can assume, in the light of Peplau's theory of interpersonal relationships.Descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, carried out with 20 users registered in the Hiperdia Program of a Basic Health Unit, in the city of BelÃ©m, ParÃ¡, Brazil. The theory based on data from Strauss and Corbin and the IRaMuTeQ software were used. Resolution 510/2016, approved in CAAE: 14945819.8.0000.0018, was respected.Most participants were female 16 (80%), incomplete elementary school 14 (70%) and over 60 years old 11 (55%). Four categories were identified: 1) The user-nurse bond in the health service; 2) User-nurse interaction in the identification of risk factors and care regarding Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases; 3) Health education activities to improve the quality of life of users with Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases;4) How the user deals with the disease and the nurse's help in understanding the problem.All were correlated with the roles played by the nurse, according to Peplau's theory.Realize that the nurse's roles are intertwined, as they are sequential steps. In research, the role of the stranger was the only negative point, as it still remains a reality in primary care.

Reduction of turbidity and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 in wastewater of dairy industry after treatment with Moringa oleifera LAM

Several liquid wastes are generated daily in the agribusiness sector. In small dairy industry for example, the main concern is the volume of treated water used for less noble purposes within the company and the difficulty in wastewater treatment before disposal in receiving water bodies. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the reduction of turbidity and Escherichia coli in synthetic agribusiness wastewater after treatment with Moringa seed extracts for reuse purposes and/or disposal. The extracts at a concentration of 20 mg L-1, 40 mg L-1, 60 mg L-1 and 80 mg L-1 were applied in wastewater made with reconstituted whole milk. Turbidity analysis and counts of contamination bioindicators were performed in the three repetitions. The extract of lower concentration proved to be undesirable for this treatment because it has increased the turbidity and not showed effectiveness against E. Coli to the treated samples. The results showed a turbidity reduction of 87.9% for effluents treated with 80 mg L-1 extract. The concentrations of 60 mg L-1 and 80 mg L-1, in a real situation, would be appropriate for the treatment of effluents with turbidity < 240 NTU, for later release on Class II and III water bodies. Similar to the turbidity test, after TIV-MO80mg L-1 treatment decreased the population density of E. coli to, approximately, 2.2 x 10Â² UFC 100 mL-1. The routine work using cleaner production, combined with the treatment of wastewater from natural coagulant, tend to minimize the negative impacts of such waste on the environment.

Mandibular Ameloblastic fibroma in a Pediatric Patient: Case Report

Ameloblastic fibroma is an unusual, benign, mixed, odontogenic tumor, usually asymptomatic, with prevalence in the first two decades of life, posterior region of the mandible. Because it is silent, it is usually discovered by routine imaging exams and requires a surgical approach for diagnosis and treatment, as they have characteristics similar to other tumors and cysts, in addition to having the potential to expand, reabsorbing bone and dental tissue. Treatment is widely discussed between a conservative and radical approach, and the choice must be made based on a thorough analysis of the lesion, as it may recur. Based on this, the present study aims to present a case with 2 years of follow-up of this rare pathology with enucleation and curettage of the region of the right mandibular angle and removal of tooth 47 germ from a 6-year-old child.Conservative treatment of ameloblastic fibroma in young patients presents itself as an effective option, since it has several advantages such as reduced morbidity and favors rehabilitation in an aesthetic and functional way.

It can occur due to genetic complications, classified as primary with genetic character and secondary non-genetic as; alcohol, drugs, radiation exposure and one of the most common is transmission of the zika virus that is transmitted by the aedesaegypti bug. The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical and socio-demographic profile of children notified with microcephaly in the city of Cacoal-RO. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, qualitative study. The study was carried out with children affected with microcephaly registered in SINAN, the data collection was carried out by applying a semi-structured questionnaire prepared by the researchers. The data were collected through a questionnaire with 15 questions, the data collection was structured in 4 phases. The data obtained correspond to 3 children with microcephaly, with a predominance of females 3 (100%) aged between 2 to 4 years (66.7%). The parents' age group prevailed 18 to 29 years (66.7%), it was observed that the predominant family income was 1 to 2 minimum wages. In relation to cranial perimeter, 2 (66, 7%) was adequate for age, with 1 (33.3%) being below the expected for age, in relation to weight 2 (66.7%) was underweight for age followed by 1 (33, 3%) adequate. Children are monitored in health services, care is provided in specialized units. It was concluded that in view of the results obtained, knowledge of the family and social context in which the child is inserted is essential for planning care.

Knowledge and Attitude about Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Perceptions of Brazilian Health care Students

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the knowledge and attitude about Complementary and Integrative Health of Brazilian students of the health area. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in the period from February to December 2012, with 163 students from two universities of different regions of Brazil. The Health Promotion in University Evaluation Instrument (IAPSU) was used to collect data about Complementary and Integrative Health. Results: With regard to the knowledge of the students about the concept of CIH, 47.2% of the students, being 52% of the northeast students and 43.3% of the southeast students, claimed to understand this concept, with no statistical significance when comparing the institutions (p>0.05). When asked if they knew the 20 different practices listed in the questionnaire, there was greater knowledge about acupuncture (87.1%), followed by medicinal herbs (82.8%), massage (80.9%), meditation (80.9%) and diets (80.3%). The practices most widely used by the students, however, were massage (38%), relaxation (36.8%), herbs (33.7%), diets (29.4%) and homeopathy (27.6%). Conclusion: It was concluded that the knowledge and use of CIH practices by students of different health courses in two Brazilian universities was limited and that the most known of these were acupuncture, herbal remedies, massage, meditation and diets, with, however, massage, relaxation, medicinal herbs, diets and homeopathy being more used.

Analysis of mechanical properties of hybrid composites reinforced with jute / fiberglass in epoxy matrix

The study of vegetable fibers has been usual for the manufacture of many utensils in industry in general. Vegetable fibers are considered for their high renewability, high degradability, and low cost. In this work, the mechanical properties of the tensile and flexural strength and the modulus of elasticity of hybrid composites of jute fibers with fiberglass in an epoxy polymer matrix were evaluated. The fibers were treated in a 5% by weight NaOH solution and subjected to tensile tests in a universal testing machine according to the ASTM D3039 and D790 standards. The composites with the best performance were jute + fiberglass hybrids, with 113% for the tensile strength and 32% for the elastic modulus. In the bending tests, the results showed a performance of 111% for the maximum stress and 20% in the highest breaking stress for the hybrid composites.

Mercy V. Torres

Choosing between generic and branded medicine is a cost to the patient's mind due to its quality and effectiveness.This study determined the consumer behavior in buying medicines in terms of: personal, social and marketing. Also, it determined the significant relationship between and among the profile of the respondents and the factors of consumer behavior in buying medicines. This study used the quantitative descriptive research method and circulated a survey questionnaire to a total of 145 employees consisting of 63 private sector and 82 public sector from different institutions in Nueva Ecija.Based on the results of the study, it is then concluded that social factors affect the most of consumer behavior in buying medicines where they consider recommendations from other people. Noticeably, consumers prefer branded than generic medicines because of its safety, effectivity, market value, brand reputation, and other peopleâ€™s recommendations. Consumersâ€™ income affects the personal and marketing factors of consumer behavior in buying medicines.It is recommended that weighing all the factors of consumer behavior in buying medicines should be taken into consideration by everyone. Thus, information dissemination about the branded and generic medicines should be made available to the consumers. When recommending medicines to consumers, medical practitioners must consider the capability of the consumers to buy what they prescribed without sacrificing its effectivity, safety, and efficiency of medicines to the end users. Further studies are also recommended regarding this topic.
