Application of Calcium and Sulfur in the Severity of Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae

Among the diseases that manifest in the cultivation of oats (Avena sativa), leaf rust, caused by Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae, has been shown to be the most destructive, being responsible for the decrease in quality and grain yield. Nutritional balance can contribute to plant resistance to disease. In order to evaluate the effect of different doses of calcium and sulfur on leaf rust severity and on the productivity of the IPR Afrodite white oat cultivar, an experiment was installed in the municipality of Ponta Grossa-PR. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, with 5 treatments and 4 repetitions. The treatments consisted of different doses of SE-SUPER fertilizer (CaO 31% + S 13.50%) applied at sowing: T1 (control, 0Kg.hÃ¡-1), T2 (50Kg.hÃ¡-1), T3 (100kg.ha-1), T4 (150kg.ha-1) and T5 (200kg.ha-1). The assessments of leaf rust incidence and severity are carried out weekly from the first symptoms, by quantifying the proportion of the affected host tissue. From the first assessment, weekly assessments were carried out, making it possible to calculate the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPG). For the determination of productivity, the yield in kg of grains / ha was calculated, based on the harvested experimental area. There was a difference between treatments for the severity of rust in the six evaluations performed. All doses were equivalent in reducing the AUDPG of the disease, but the treatments with 150 and 200 kg.ha-1 of SE SUPER, presented the highest percentages of reduction, 47.21 and 48.00%, respectively. There was no difference in the productivity obtained. Other management strategies must be associated with fertilization with calcium and sulfur to control rust. Other management strategies should be associated with fertilization with calcium and sulfur, contributing to the rational use of pesticides and reducing pollution.

Modeling an experiment to measure the speed of gravity in short distances using vibrating masses: Frequency optimization

In order to investigate the behavior of gravitational signals while travelling through a medium an experiment was designed, aimed at measuring the speed of these signals over short distances. The experiment contains 2 sapphire vibrating devices that emit a signal and one sapphire device that behave as a detector, which are suspended in vacuum and cooled down to 4.2 K. The amplitude of the detecting device is measured by an ultralow, phase-noise microwave signal that uses resonance in the whispering gallery modes. Since sapphire has a quite high mechanical Q, the detection band is expected to be small, thus reducing the detection sensitivity. A new shape for the detecting device is presented in this work, yielding a detection band of several hundred Hertz. With the aid of a Finite Element Program the normal mode frequencies of the detector are determined assuming the detector as a spring-mass system. The results show that the detection is achievable then the best operational frequency is determined.

Oil Royalties in Brazil: Constitutionality X Unconstitutionality

Ana Cristina Teixeira Alves

The purpose of this article is to analyze the constitutionality of the distribution of oil royalties in Brazil to federated entities. Oil royalties are financial compensation received by the state and municipal oil-producing areas for the environmental damage caused by oil exploration. Art. 20 1ÂºÂ§ of the Federal Constitution of the Republic of Brazil of 1988 defines the legal nature of royalties, which is the compensatory form for the use of non-renewable goods by the States, Federal District, and Municipalities. Article 14 of Law 6.938/1981 established the strict liability regime for repairing and indemnifying damages caused to the environment and affected third parties. The legal system that regulates the matter of oil royalties is clear when it exposes the net and true right of the producing areas to financial compensation for environmental, social, and economic damages. The Supreme Federal Court decisions are consistent with the Federal Constitution and the NEP - National Environment Policy, Law No. 6938/1981. The methodology is based on bibliographic research on printed books, electronic articles, the 1988 Federal Constitution, and relevant legal norms. According to the Federal Constitution, legal norms, legal scholars, and the Supreme Federal Court, the allocation of royalties should be paid to the federal entities directly affected by the exploratory activity, which bear the various damages and risks of oil exploration.

Analysis of Impacts Generated by Oil Spill on the Beaches of Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil

Considered raw material for a wide variety of products, today oil is removed from nature on a large scale. From time to time there are problems with the oil spill in the ocean. The reasons range from oil tanker accidents, hull breaches and oil rig explosions. The environmental impacts of the oil spill are widespread. The stain spreads through the sea, killing thousands of fish, birds, and corals. The losses caused by the oil spill in the Northeast Region of Brazil are incalculable and have not yet been well dimensioned by the government. The health of the population close to the northeastern coast, must be carefully analyzed before an assessment of risks based on a food and trophic chain. This work aimed to present an analysis of environmental impacts based on the Leopold matrix regarding the oil spill that hit the municipality of Cabo, Pernambuco, Brazil. The subsidies used to analyze the situation in the area were collected through information obtained in the press, in addition to technical field visits with photographic records. In general, the Leopold matrix helped in the analysis of the analyzed aspects and impacts: the fauna and flora suffered impacts that will take years or decades to be recovered in case the cleaning and conservation is carried out partially. Among the solutions for the crude oil that reached the beaches, after receiving adequate treatment, they can be used as fuel and / or alternative raw material in the cement kilns of the industries.

Knowing the meanings that patients attribute to the act of health professionals, contribute greatly to thinking about the decision making of more targeted and individualized therapeutic plans.

A Systematic Review on Industry 4.0 Maturity Metricsin the Manaus Free Trade Zone

Mauricio Itikawa, Sandro Breval Santiago

The term industry 4.0 has been widely used as a symbol of the fourth industrial revolution, and in this context, the adequacy of companies to the set of digital technologies has become a meaning of competitiveness or leadership maintenance, with research, development, and innovation as the basic prerequisite for the company or its partners to materialize the cited improvement. In this scenario, measuring the maturity of companies is the main requirement for establishing strategies for the digital advancement of industry in the form of private actions or government public policies. With the purpose to obtain the state-of-the-art regarding the measurement of maturity under the metrics of industry 4.0 and its relation with innovation, this work used the Knowledge Development Process - Constructivist (ProKnow-C) tool, which enabled the construction of a bibliographic portfolio composed of 27 papers published in Journals and 4 publications of actors involved in the industry digital transformation. Although the richness of the selected literature concerning maturity models, it was acknowledged a scientific gap concerning its relationship with innovation investments involving tax benefits from the government, which is one of the main objectives of this work.

Investigation of Dairy Cattle Concentrate Quality, Traceability & Handling Practices Adopted by Farmers â€“ A Case Study Conducted in Sri Lanka

This study was done in selected dairy farms in Central Province of Sri Lanka. As the Stage 1, 67 farms were selected and type, quality, traceability and farm level handling practices of different dairy cattle concentrates were identified. Analyzed results were; scale of dairy farming and farming method used, dairy cattle concentrate types used, product information & packaging and handling practices. Major findings were; average number of cows per farm was 3.1, concentrate types identified were coconut oil cake and formulated dairy cattle concentrate, 75.9% of the coconut oil cake products on the market had an unknown origin, all the coconut oil cake products had no product details and none of the farmers used total mix rations to feed their animals. For the Stage 2, 64 dairy farms were selected. Moisture content of the dairy cattle concentrates were analyzed with respect to the storage method and they were statistically analyzed. Out of all the farms, 37.5% used coconut oil cake and 62.5% used formulated dairy cattle concentrates as their dairy cattle concentrate. In coconut oil cake uses, there was a significant difference (P0.05; P=0.159) between the moisture contents with respect to the storing methods used to store formulated dairy cattle concentrates. Hence, this study provides an indication that coconut oil cake requires careful sealing and storing since it has a greater tendency to absorb atmospheric moisture.

From contingency planning in times of change and uncertainty to risk control

AntÃ³nio Rodrigues

It is said that: "Nothing is permanent, except change." Indeed, at best the changes can be gradual and predictable; however, in the current era, most changes happen at unprecedented speeds, altering the status quo and placing organizations in conditions that can be favorable or unfavorable, depending on each particular case. The planning process, which incorporates uncertainty, must include several scenarios that include different contingency plans, that is, create short and long-term analysis models based on speculation about the behavior of different variables that may affect the company. . The more changeable the environment, the greater the need for a wide range of settings; more contingent plans must be generated to be prepared for the emergency. The COVID-19 crisis has made visible the importance of risk control and internal auditing in companies.

Biosafety, life and COVID-19: Online questionnaire

COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 is a disease caused by a highly transmitted virus that led to the development of a pandemic in 2019-2020 causing many deaths and behavioral changes. Due to this high degree of infection risk, it is extremely necessary to disseminate information on biosafety and the correct compliance with social isolation, aiming at the non-transmission of the pathogen. The general objective of this study was to evaluate the population's knowledge about the means of biosafety used to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and emotional state and habits in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. For that, an exploratory-quantitative field research was carried out in a sample of 170 individuals, through a questionnaire via Google Forms. The data collected were evaluated using the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software and dependence between variables was assessed using Pearson's Chi-square test. as a result, it was found that the interviewees used mainly fabric masks, the use of alcohol 70% was satisfactory, access to information about COVID-19 is vast and the levels of stress and anxiety were obtained. Therefore, it was concluded that a large part of the sample has knowledge and practices of biosafety, probably due to the intense work of social media, which, however, generated panic in most respondents.

Learn between learning styles and teaching practices: Case of qualifying students

Abderrazzak Mazouak

In a classroom, individual differences manifest themselves in learners at two levels: a rather quantitative level, that of learning performance, and a rather qualitative level, that of the form that learners give to their learning. The notion of learning styles is therefore based on the idea that different learners have different ways of learning. That is, what can explain their success or failure is not only a question of level of efficiency, but also the different ways in which they perceive, store, process and render information, the way which they build their knowledge base. The discipline underlying thinking about learning styles is differential psychology. We will refer to it often. First, we will briefly review the work that was carried out with a view to dealing with learning difficulties by taking into account differences in efficiency. We will then present two scientific concepts that shed light on the notion of learning styles: cognitive styles and vicarious processes. Then we will present statistics specific to the work of trainee teachers at TAZA CRMEF on the dominance of learning styles in the qualifying cycle. We will end by justifying with a few examples the pedagogical adaptations recommended to take into account the styles of learners in pedagogical practice.

Abstraction and Computational Thinking: Possibilities as from the New Brazilian National Common Curricular Basis

JoÃ£o Ricardo Freire de Melo, Elda Silva do Nascimento Melo

The most important and highest-level cognitive process on computational thought is the abstraction one. A new regulating norm of the school curriculum in Brazil evokes the more diverse skills, which the adoption of communication and information technologies makes available in the educational process of computational thinking and its dominion on part of the students. This study aimed to clear this configuration in basic education, while taking the demands resulting from the National Common Curricular Basis and computational thinking into account in order to attain the proposed skills. Following up this perspective, we accomplished a bibliographical and documental review which led us into perceiving the computational thinking in the curricular and school environment. In accordance with the research, we then observed there is an appropriate moment in Brazilian education, inclusively of legal order, to work out the computational thinking at school towards allowing the construction of a logical, articulated, systematized and abstract thinking, capable of contributing to the growth of both competencies developed by means of learning to learn, the conscious use and integration and the reflexive forms of the apprehended contents and applied to various daily situations of Brazilian schools.

Poliana Gouveia Santos, Mariana Kely Diniz Gomes de Lima

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum tracked by the VDRL non-treponema test and should be treated as early as possible. The objective of the research is to analyze the role of nurses in assisting patients with congenital syphilis. The methodology is a narrative review study with an exploratory, observational, retrospective study approached in 15 articles in the databases (PUBMED, LILACS, BVS, SciELO, REBEN) between 2010 and 2020. Results: Since pregnant and infected women if their sexual partners are diagnosed during prenatal care and treated in time, congenital syphilis can be prevented. About two-thirds of children living with congenital syphilis are asymptomatic. The diagnosis of these diseases is relatively easy and of low cost, therefore, it should not be an obstacle to promote the early diagnosis of these patients. It can be concluded: The nurse is the professional with prominence in the attendance of the basic health units, because the role is delegated and extremely important in the care and prevention of patients. It is up to the health secretaries to delegate training with nurses in the consultation and treatment of congenital syphilis. More attention should be paid to the role of screening during prenatal care, to carry out the treatment in a qualified manner.

Clinical and epidemiological profile of patients undergoing treatment for cervical CA at the Oncology and Hematology Center of Cacoal-RO

Cancer is the name given to a set of more than 100 diseases that have in common the disorderly growth of cells that invade tissues and organs, and can spread (metastasize) to other regions of the body. Cancer of the cervix is caused by persistent infection by some types of Human Papillomavirus - HPV (called oncogenic). With approximately 530,000 new cases per year worldwide, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cases. Describe the epidemiological profile of patients affected by cervical cancer undergoing treatment at a Cacoal oncology center, identifying the related risk factors. It was a field research, carried out in a descriptive and analytical manner, of a quantitative nature. The research was conducted with patients undergoing treatment for cervical CA at the Oncology and Hematology Center of Cacoal-RO. Participated in the research 5 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer, attended from 18 to 22 February 2019. The age of onset of early sexual activity was notable in this research where it was observed that all participants said they had had sex between 10 and 18 years old and also that 80% of the interviewees reported having had three or more sexual partners during their lifetime. The results indicate that women are exposed to several risks for the development of cervical cancer, such as: multiple sexual partners, premature intercourse, history of (STIs), multiparity and smoking, with sexual transmission by HPV being the main cause of cancer in women in developing countries. It was found that permanent health education, expansion of screening programs, greater commitment to primary prevention for an early diagnosis and rapid treatment are the strategies chosen to face the disease.

Dentistry biosecurity during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: What should we know?

The new coronavirus infection, also known as SARS-CoV-2, affects especially the respiratory tract and it has been a challenge to face it in a lot of countries, since the disease has no specific treatment and leads to a multidisciplinary care for those infected. Health professionals are classified at high risk, as they are in close contact to these patients. Among those professionals, dental surgeons represent the professionals at most risk, due to their work area being in close contact with the respiratory tract and the production of aerosol generated by the office equipment, which dissipates microscopic virulent particles through the air. In this review, instructions issued by health institutions were collected in order to inform health professionals, especially the dental surgeon, about the correct dressing and hygiene that must be performed in the dental office. Finally, it was concluded that professionals are well supported and receive the necessary guidance to continue working during the pandemic. In addition, following biosafety protocols and regulatory guidelines has shown positive results against the spread of the new coronavirus, protecting professional and patients.

Factors associated with pressure injury and preventive measures in an intensive care unit

Abstractâ€” Pressure injury is a localized damage to the underlying skin and / or soft tissue, usually on a bony prominence or related to the use of a medical device or other artifact. The lesion can appear on intact skin or as an open ulcer and can be painful. The injury occurs as a result of intense and / or prolonged pressure in combination with shear. Tolerance of soft tissue to pressure and shear can also be affected by microclimate, nutrition, perfusion, comorbidities and their condition. The objective of identifying the associated factors and preventive measures for pressure injuries in an intensive care unit, in order to support the professional in decision making to improve the care provided to these patients. The methodology is a narrative review study with an exploratory, observational, retrospective study approached in 07 articles in the databases (PUBMED, LILACS, BVS, SciELO, REBEN) between 2008 to 2016. During the review, it was found that most pressure injuries could be avoided by taking simple actions such as changing the position, using pressure relief devices in areas of bone prominence, careful observation of the skin and greater knowledge by health professionals, making it necessary to qualify health professionals with regard to the main characteristics of patients who develop pressure injuries and risk assessment scales such as the Braden scale, with the possibility of making prognoses and, thus, prevent them. It is concluded that the majority of pressure injuries could be avoided, through the identification of risk and the implementation of a care plan, preventing this condition that brings so much discomfort to the client and his family. From some simple actions such as changing the position every two hours.

Mustopa Kamal, M Subroto Aliredjo, Dedy H Sutisna

Fish is a rapidly decomposing source of animal protein, so good handling is important to ensure that the quality of the fish is preserved. How the freshness of fish meat can be preserved can be accomplished through the preservation process. By adding natural ingredients that can prevent the growth of bacteria using liquid smoke, one way of preserving fish meat can be achieved.However, in a traditional way, the application of producing liquid smoke is also carried out such that the resulting liquid smoke still contains ash, tar and carcinogenic compounds.In this reasearch, a pyrolyzer made from stainless steel 304 was designed, with a pyrolysis reactor with a capacity of 10 kg coconut shell and a multi-stage condensation system whose working principle utilizes the properties of smoke molecules that tend to flow or move from the bottom up, so that the higher the quality of the smoke molecules the better because they do not contain Ashes from combustion which cause the creation of carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrcarbon (PAH) compounds.The research method includes planning the pyrolyzer design, selecting engineering materials, procedures for making liquid smoke made from coconut shells, pyrolyzer performance test, testing the chemical content of liquid smoke.

Palliative care Oncology Patient and Nursing Look in Integral Care Perspective and Death: Study Conducted in a public hospital in Porto Velho, RondÃ´nia, Northern Brazil

The general objective of this research is to know the perception of the nursing team on palliative care in oncology in a State Public Hospital in the city of Porto Velho - RondÃ´nia. In order to understand the perception and experience of nursing staff in palliative care to patients in a Unity Medical Clinic I, I was chosen by a descriptive research with bibliographical research and field methods with prospective approach, supported by qualitative approach and subsidized by the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty perception. The study results show nurses that come in palliative care take care of one action based on the need to offer comfort and control the physical pain of patients in terminal stage of life, promoting humanized care that integrates not only this patient but also his family, offering support during the difficult time in which both are going through. These professionals reveal feelings of powerlessness due to the inevitable prognosis of patients in the terminal phase. However, when watching this population, these students take care to cover the practical assistance and the quest to meet basic human needs of the patient. Based on the analysis of evidence obtained in the present study, it was possible to demonstrate the relevance of the research topic and the need to expand the knowledge with respect to palliative care, so that nursing and the whole multidisciplinary team of health to enjoy this and transforming rich medium therapy.

Calibration of the SLEUTH urban simulation model using NOMAD and Genetic Algorithms

Computer simulations often entail an optimization problem, corresponding to the calibration of model parameters to ensure a precise representation of a given scenario. Many complex phenomena such as urban growth have characteristics that make optimization harder; this can be exemplified by the lack of an analytical formulation, presence of nonlinearity, discontinuities, and nondeterminism. SLEUTH is a long-established urban simulator, used to compute forecasts of city evolution. The tool is controlled by five parameters that span a search space of the order of 10 billion combinations, with a calibration procedure that is CPU-intensive and not compatible with gradient-descent methods. In this work we compare the efficiency of a genetic-algorithm version of the simulator with the use of the optimization library NOMAD. Different alternatives for the integration of the library are suggested. The experiments are analyzed using data profiles, a technique designed to handle cases with a limited number of function evaluations. The results confirm interest in NOMAD, and reveal more information than traditional comparisons of number of iterations or final optimization results. The methodology of the study can be applied to similar situations and is not restricted to simulators implementing urban models.

The electronic payment system involves transactions carried out via the aid of technology. The Nigerian economy have seen it as a welcome development and among other objectives to promote cashless economy. In a process to achieve rapid transformation, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) launched the financial inclusion strategies for all sundries through the help of the Financial Technology (FIN Tech). This study assessed the linkages of electronic transactions and stock market performance in the Nigerian financial ecosystem. The study employed WEB, Automated Teller Machine (ATM), Nibss Instant Payment (NIP), and Point of Sale (POS) as the electronic transactionsâ€™ channels and its link to stock market capitalization in Nigeria. The study adopted quarterly data between 2012 and 2019. The Vector Error Correction Model was applied for the evaluations, including the Johansen Co-integration. The short-run error correction shows that, the ATM and WEB were negatively and insignificantly linked to stock market performance. The findings also showed that, POS is positively but not significantly linked to stock market performance. The findings further revealed that NIP is positively and significantly linked to stock market capitalization. In essence among the study variables, NIP was the only constituted and significant variable that influenced the stock market performance in the Nigerian financial ecosystem. The study recommended the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to monitor, control and report the movement of all money via NIP, as well as re-double the awareness campaign with regards to use of ATM, WEB and POS.

Population aging and Hospitalization for Sensitive Causes to Primary Care

The study aimed to analyze the main Hospitalizations for Causes Sensitive to Primary Care in elderly people in a small city in the state of Santa Catarina. The data were obtained by consulting a secondary database in the Information System of the Ministry of Health - Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS). For the research, the age group from 60 to 74 years old was considered, the frequency of hospitalizations by sex and main causes of Hospitalization Sensitive to Primary Care, in the period from 2012 to 2018. Population aging is a reality in Brazil and in the world and studies are fundamental for understanding the health needs of the elderly population. The results showed that, of the total number of hospitalizations in the studied period, 39% were for Causes Sensitive to Primary Care (ICSAP), and more frequently in males. There was a decrease in the number of hospitalizations for these causes in 2018 compared to previous years. Among the most frequent causes of hospitalizations, bacterial pneumonia stood out, followed by lung diseases, heart failure, cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and kidney and urinary tract infections. It is concluded that there is a need to strengthen Primary Health Care, concentrating greater efforts on health promotion and education and prevention of diseases through strategies to encourage active aging, avoiding the need for hospitalization for causes that can be managed in Primary Care.

What African State are you referring to? Different ontologies different States

TomÃ¡s HerÃ³doto Fuel

African states have been analysed under the label of â€œfailed statesâ€, â€œcollapsed statesâ€ and â€œpredatory statesâ€. In this sense, without the intention of analysing the scope of transformations resulting from changes of political regimes, this qualitative essay based on literature review, analyses how the use of ontologies has produced different â€œimagesâ€ of African States. It is argued that the images produced are anchored to the dominant objectivist and subjectivist ontologies of the 70s and 80s, which applied in the analysis of African States are very limited. Accordingly, it is suggested the adoption of intersubjectivist ontology, which, favouring the joint construction of meanings and knowledge, is more apt to capture the organizational dynamics that have been influenced by ubuntu (â€œI am because we are; I can only be one person through othersâ€) considered the African philosophy of life, management, and leadership.

Performance Analysis of High Early-Strength Concrete for Accelerated Bridge Construction Closure Pour Connections

Rakesh Jethiwal, Ankit Pal

Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) are becoming a popular alternative for new bridge construction as well as in existing bridge deck replacement because of its reduced time spent in situ activities. A main function of these bridges is the use of prefabricated components. Prefabricated structural components are joined in the field with closure pours using high performance materials such as steel and concrete to ensure proper transfer of forces between components. The purpose of this research was to create a method to develop concrete mixtures that are designed using some general constituents and that satisfy performance requirements of accelerated bridge construction closure pours primarily high early strength and long-term durability. Two concrete mixtures were developed with a primary goal of reaching high-early strength while maintaining constructability. The secondary goal of the concrete mixtures was to be durable; therefore, measures were taken during the development of the concrete mixture to generate a mixture that also had durable properties.

Outrigger Connection of Multistoried Building at Plinth level to Increase Lateral Load Handling Capacity under Seismic Loading: A Review

Jai Goswami, Ankit Pal

Individually the building needs a table to withstand the system of combating large forces caused by earthquakes, wind etc. One of the premium arrangements is the outrigger system. The explosives of the building blocks hold the order of the earthquake loads. When the height of a buildingâ€™s height is greater than before, it becomes larger and the addition of tempting additions to counter programs such as runners is important. The use of a building directive can increase construction power by linking the main building to a remote colony and building whole-body operations as a single unit against such lateral effects. The current review study deals with the fugitive and the investigation is based on the Outrigger Wall System by various investigators. These words are based on experiments in those elements including the Outrigger Wall which raises structural strength in terms of stability, durability, strength and level.
