Morpho-physiological and anatomical characteristics of Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu in silvopastoral and monoculture systems

To gain insights into the forage morphological and anatomical characteristics in a silvopastoral system (SPS) with Bolsa de Pastor (Zeyheria tuberculosa) and palisadegrass ‘Marandu’ (Urochloa brizantha) monoculture (MONO). The SPS was established through natural regeneration of the tree species. Treatments were a SPS and MONO distributed in a completely randomized design with six replicates and repeated measures were the harvest periods. Response variables were morpho-physiological and anatomical characteristicss: green: dead material ratio, leaf blade: stem+sheath ratio, leaf area index, chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations, proportions of non-lignified and achlorophyllous areas, lignified areas in stems, proportions of non-lignified and achlorophyllous areas, lignified and chlorophyllous areas in leaves, as well as cell length in longitudinal section of stem. Morpho-physiological patterns were altered (p < 0.05) under natural shading conditions due to higher photosynthetic efficiency in the SPS. There was no effect (p > 0.05) of the systems on anatomical patterns, proportions of non-lignified and achlorophyllous, lignified and chlorophyllous tissues, these proportions were influenced only by the periods of the year, both for stems and leaves. Cells of the internodes of the grasses of the studied systems had the same length. The SPS alters morpho-physiological characteristics of palisadegrass and increases the concentration of chlorophyll a and b.

AVALIAÇÃO DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA EM UM DEPARTAMENTO DE COMPUTAÇÃO: UM ESTUDO DE CASO

ABSTRACT Bibliometric evaluation is a crucial research topic that finds various applications ranging from faculty productivity evaluation and assessing researcher career trajectory to analyzing trends and emerging themes in a research area. This study examined the CVs of 36 researchers and professors from a Brazilian university’s computer science faculty. The publication data obtained from Plataforma Lattes, an online repository of Brazilian researchers' CVs, was used. The objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity of each professor in quantity and quality, over a period of five years, along with analyzing the co-authorship network. In addition, the study examined the correlation between researcher's productivity and the Research Productivity Grants (Bolsas de Produtividade em Pesquisa - PQ grant) since the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) considers the professor's curriculum as one of the criteria for granting the grant.

Strong Convexity of Feasible Sets in Off-line and Online Optimization

It is known that the curvature of the feasible set in convex optimization allows for algorithms with better convergence rates, and there is renewed interest in this topic for both off-line and online problems. In this paper, leveraging results on geometry and convex analysis, we further our understanding of the role of curvature in optimization: We first show the equivalence of two notions of curvature, namely, strong convexity and gauge bodies, proving a conjecture of Abernethy et al. As a consequence, this shows that the Frank–Wolfe–type method of Wang and Abernethy has accelerated convergence rate [Formula: see text] over strongly convex feasible sets without additional assumptions on the (convex) objective function. In online linear optimization, we identify two main properties that help explaining why/when follow the leader (FTL) has only logarithmic regret over strongly convex sets. This allows one to directly recover and slightly extend a recent result of Huang et al., and to show that FTL has logarithmic regret over strongly convex sets whenever the gain vectors are nonnegative. We provide an efficient procedure for approximating convex bodies by strongly convex ones while smoothly trading off approximation error and curvature. This allows one to extend the improved algorithms over strongly convex sets to general convex sets. As a concrete application, we extend results on online linear optimization with hints to general convex sets.

Safety and immunogenicity of CoronaVac in people living with HIV: a prospective cohort study

BackgroundPeople living with HIV might have a poor or delayed response to vaccines, mainly when CD4 cell counts are low, and data concerning COVID-19 vaccines in this population are scarce. This prospective cohort study assessed the safety and immunogenicity of the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine CoronaVac in people with HIV compared with people with no known immunosuppression.MethodsIn this prospective cohort study, adults (aged ≥18 years) living with HIV who were regularly followed up at the University of Sao Paulo HIV/AIDS outpatient clinic in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were included in the study. Eligibility for people with HIV was independent of antiretroviral use, HIV viral load, or CD4 cell count. Adults with no known immunosuppression with CoronaVac vaccination history were included as a control group. CoronaVac was given intramuscularly in a two-dose regimen, 28 days apart. Blood was collected before vaccine administration and 6 weeks after the second dose (day 69). Immunogenicity was assessed at baseline (day 0), before second vaccine (day 28), and 6 weeks after second vaccine dose (day 69) through SARS-CoV-2 IgG titre and seroconversion, neutralising antibody (NAb) positivity and percentage activity, and factor increase in IgG geometric mean titres (FI-GMT). We investigated whether HIV status and CD4 count (<500 or ≥500 cells per μL) were associated with CoronaVac immunogenicity by use of multivariable models adjusted for age and sex.FindingsBetween Feb 9, 2021, and March 4, 2021, 776 participants were recruited. Of 511 participants included, 215 (42%) were people with HIV and 296 (58%) were people with no known immunosuppression. At 6 weeks after the second vaccine dose (day 69), 185 (91%) of 204 participants with HIV and 265 (97%) of 274 participants with no known immunosuppression had seroconversion (p=0·0055). 143 (71%) of 202 participants with HIV were NAb positive compared with 229 (84%) of 274 participants with no known immunosuppression (p=0·0008). Median IgG titres were 48·7 AU/mL (IQR 26·6–88·2) in people with HIV compared with 75·2 AU/mL (50·3–112·0) in people with no known immunosuppression (p<0·0001); and median NAb activity was 46·2% (26·9–69·7) compared with 60·8% (39·8–79·9; p<0·0001). In people with HIV who had CD4 counts less than 500 cells per μL seroconversion rates, NAb positivity, and NAb activity were lower than in those with CD4 counts of at least 500 cells per μL. In multivariable models for seroconversion, NAb positivity, IgG concentration, and NAb activity after a complete two-dose regimen, adjusted for age and sex, people with HIV who had CD4 counts of at least 500 cells per μL and people with no known immunosuppression had higher immunogenicity than did people with HIV with CD4 counts less than 500 cells per μL. No serious adverse reactions were reported during the study.InterpretationImmunogenicity following CoronaVac in people with HIV seems strong but reduced compared with people with no known immunosuppression. Our findings highlight the need for strategies to improve vaccine immunogenicity in people with HIV.FundingFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), and B3—Bolsa de Valores do Brasil.

The Mandinga Experience: Illusion and Proof in the Inquisition Case of Patrício de Andrade, 1690

Abstract: In 1690, Capeverdean freedman and servant Patrício de Andrade was sentenced to exile by the Portuguese Inquisition for putting on performances of bodily invulnerability so convincing that no one could believe he had not made a pact with the devil. These performances, which he called experiências (from experientia meaning both experience and experiment), had a purpose: to demonstrate the protective powers of the amulets he made and sold, later known as bolsas de mandinga . But Patrício, as he sought to prove to the inquisitors, was an illusionist and swindler, whose experiences relied not on diabolical assistance, but on his own dexterity, artifice , and pretense . This article reconstructs and analyzes these performances inside and outside the space of the inquisition tribunal, showing how mandingueiros like Patrício both dramatized and promised a solution to pervasive fears around violence and bodily insecurity in Lisbon and across the empire, and mastered a vocabulary of experiential proof that, before the law, put considerable pressure on existing regimes of verification.

Circulating endothelial progenitor cells as predictors of long-term cardiovascular mortality after myocardial infarction: which definition should we use?

Abstract Background Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are bone marrow-derived cells that play a crucial role in vascular repair after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Recent studies suggest that circulating EPCs levels may be useful as a surrogate biomarker for cardiovascular (CV) events. Nevertheless, the lack of a consensual definition and phenotypic characterization of EPCs hampers its use in clinical practice. CD34+KDR+, CD45dimCD34+KDR+ and CD34+CD133+KDR+ are among the most used antigenic phenotypes to define circulating EPCs but the best phenotype to predict CV outcomes remains to be determined. Purpose To determine the EPCs' surface phenotype that best predicts long-term CV death after an AMI, and to evaluate its optimal cut-off point. Methods One-hundred AMI patients were prospectively enrolled in the study. Circulating EPCs were quantified through high-performance flow cytometer within the first 24 hours of admission using different surface markers combinations allowing to simultaneously compare three EPCs definitions: 1) CD34+KDR+, 2) CD45dimCD34+KDR+, 3) CD34+CD133+KDR+. Mean follow-up time was 8.0±2.2 years. Results The mean age of our population was 59.7±11.0, the majority of patients were male (90%), 65% had ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 35% non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Diabetes mellitus was present in 38% and hypertension in 67% of the studied sample. During the long-term follow-up, 34 patients had re-admissions due to cardiovascular causes, 11 of them for AMI. Thirty-one patients had major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and 19 died. Using ROC curves, the CD34+KDR+ phenotype showed the biggest area under the curve regarding prediction of CV mortality (0.722; p=0.010; confidence interval 95% (CI95%): 0.554 to 0.890). Patients with lower levels of EPCs according to this definition (≤0.022%) are 7 times more likely to die from CV causes at any time (hazard ratio = 7.55; p=0.008; CI95% 1.69 to 33.83). Conclusion The CD34+KDR+ phenotype appears to be the best definition of circulating EPCs for predicting long-term CV mortality after AMI. Further studies with larger samples are needed to clarify the optimal cut-off point for determining patients at risk and its role in everyday Cardiology.

Liquidity and accounts receivable ratios : comparative analysis of companies in the dairy sector trading in the bolsa de valores de Lima

The purpose of the study was to analyze accounts receivable and liquidity in dairy sector companies listed on the BVL; The methodology used was descriptive - comparative, of a non-experimental design with a cross section. The technique that was used was the documentary analysis and the analysis sheet was used as an instrument; On the other hand, the non-probabilistic sample consisted of 20 annual financial statements, in turn made up of two companies in the dairy sector from 2015 to 2019; On this basis, the financial comparison indicators were calculated. The results determined that the company Leche Gloria SA, managed to obtain a better collection sufficiency due to the speed in the recovery of its loans granted, while Laive SA was slow to recover the cash from the sales made; Regarding liquidity, the two companies had good payment capacity to meet their obligations and short-term debts, exceeding the estimated range. It was concluded that by having good collection standards, companies obtain considerable liquidity to make the corresponding payments and avoid production stagnation according to economic activity.

Female board participation and firm’s financial performance: a panel study from a Latin American economy

PurposeThis study aims to elucidate the relationship between women's participation on the board of directors and the company's financial performance in a sample of 45 Colombian companies listed on the Colombia Stock Exchange (CSE) (Bolsa de Valores de Colombia).Design/methodology/approachUsing 50,214 financial records of 45 companies listed on the CSE during 2008–2016, the authors performed panel data regressions to explore the relationship between the measures of gender diversity on boards and the impact on corporate financial performance.FindingsThe authors show that the participation and presence of at least one woman on the board of directors are positively associated with firm financial performance as measured by return on equity (ROE), but not as measured by Tobin’s Q. This second indicator is positively associated with firm financial performance when there are at least three female directors on boards of 10 or more individuals.Practical implicationsThe findings also provide evidence supporting the development of managerial and organizational mechanisms that strengthen female presence at the highest level of governance.Originality/valueThe study demonstrates that female presence on boards has a positive impact on firms’ financial performance, but the degree of diversity impacts differently ROE and Tobin’s Q. These findings are based on a study of an emerging economy in Latin America, and data on similar economies are scarce.

Facing TBL with IoT: creating value and positively impacting business processes

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analyze how Internet of Things can contribute to the achievement of a sustainable development based on people, profit and planet. Based on the triple bottom line theoretical framework, this work explores the relation between technology and the creation of value in management operative and support processes carried out by a firm with a direct impact in society and the environment. By doing so, new insights on strategic management to create value and consolidate sustainable business models are provided.Design/methodology/approachThe present study analyzes firms within the context of the European Union, considering the involvement of the region in achieving sustainable development, in particular, the usage of technology and specifically Internet of Things to create value and contribute to company’s position as leaders in the industry’s change toward sustainable development. To achieve this goal, the Spanish market was analyzed, specifically companies who were publicly listed in the IBEX35, which is the benchmark stock market index of Spain’s main stock exchange (Bolsa de Madrid). In addition, firms were also considered regarding the strong impact within their industries not only nationally, but also worldwide.FindingsFindings show that companies incorporating Internet of Things can enhance their role as leaders in change toward sustainable development. Similarly, the usage of these technologies positively impacts the pollution reduction and limiting usage of non-renewable resources, as well as positively impacting people’s lives. Furthermore, technology has a positive effect on the creation of value, considering management, operative and support processes. By considering people and planet, companies can have a profitable business model that is also sustainable in the long-run, creating a win-win situation within the triple bottom line.Originality/valueThis study shows the links between Internet of Things and sustainable development within the framework of the triple bottom line. It portrays the relevance of technology in value creation to achieve business models that can cater to profit, people and planet objectives. Consequently, practitioners can incorporate Internet of Things elements to create value and contribute to their corporate social responsibility objectives, establishing synergies between managerial and socio-environmental aspects. Moreover, researchers studying business strategy can incorporate these variables to further enlarge the results herein derived. Finally, this work reinforces the usage of triple bottom line theory to analyze a firm’s sustainable development and its business models.

Safety and Immunogenicity of CoronaVac in People Living with HIV

Background: People living with HIV (PLWH) may have a poor or delayed response to vaccines, mainly when CD4+ T cell counts are low. There are limited data concerning the safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines in PLWH.Methods: This prospective controlled study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine CoronaVac in PLWH compared with controls with no known immunosuppression. Immunogenicity was assessed with SARS-CoV-2 IgG seroconversion (SC), neutralizing antibodies (NAb) activity, and factor increase in IgG geometric mean titers (FI-GMT). We also investigated if levels of CD4+ T cell counts (3) were associated with CoronaVac immunogenicity.Findings: 511 participants (215 PLWH and 296 controls) were eligible for the immunogenicity analysis. At vaccine completion (D69), although the percentage of participants with SC and NAb positivity was high for both PLWH and controls, it was somewhat lower in PLWH. CD4+ T cell was identified as a relevant factor for immunogenicity, with lower SC and NAb positivity in PLWH with CD4+ counts 3 compared to those with ≥500 cells/mm3. In a multivariable logistic regression model for NAb positivity after a complete two-dose regimen adjusted for age and sex, compared with PLWH with a CD4+ T cell count 3, those with CD4+ counts ≥500/mm3 had 2·26 times the odds of having positivity in NAb activity (95% CI 1·18-4·32; p=0·014), whereas controls had 3·21 times the odds of this outcome. No serious adverse reactions were reported during the study.Interpretation: Immunogenicity following CoronaVac in PLWH seems robust but reduced compared with controls; PLWH with CD4+ counts Funding: Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); and B3 - Bolsa de Valores do Brasil.Declaration of Interest: EGK is the Principal Investigator for the CoronaVac phase 3 clinical trial at University of Sao Paulo.

Os jogos didáticos e a aprendizagem em Química: uma visão dos professores supervisores do PIBID

Tendo em vista diversos trabalhos na literatura que discutem o tema, uma proposta para que o ensino de química se torne mais ativo e menos decorativo é através dos jogos didáticos, os quais podem ser utilizados em momentos diferentes, como na exposição de um conteúdo, representação de conhecimentos relevantes sobre diferentes temas, avaliação ou síntese de conceitos importantes de assuntos já desenvolvidos. Neste contexto, objetivou-se a investigação a respeito do que os jogos didáticos têm proporcionado no processo ensino aprendizagem. Este trabalho é de natureza qualitativa e está inserido como um estudo de caso. Para o desempenho dele, realizou-se entrevistas com professores do ensino médio que participam do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), visando compreender seus conceitos acerca dos jogos didáticos. Os resultados obtidos com a entrevista foram analisados e entendemos que o uso de jogos didáticos, na visão dos entrevistados, é uma ferramenta metodológica promissora para auxiliar que os alunos compreendam com mais facilidade o assunto inserido em sala de aula. Em virtude do que foi observado, pode-se concluir a viabilidade dos jogos como metodologia que contribui de maneira positiva no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos em conteúdos que envolvem Química.

Impactos positivos e negativos do Subprojeto PIBID Ciências Naturais na formação docente

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os impactos na formação dos licenciandos por meio do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), da Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF). Para tal, foi aplicado um questionário a 10 licenciandos que fizeram parte do Subprojeto PIBID Ciências Naturais, na Escola Municipal “Escola Viva” Professora Edy Belloti, localizada em Santo Antônio de Pádua/RJ, no período de 2014 e 2015. O questionário aplicado era composto por duas questões abertas, que tratavam dos pontos positivos e negativos do Programa, segundo a ótica dos licenciandos. Os resultados obtidos indicam uma transformação na postura dos licenciandos enquanto futuros professores, que em sua formação inicial sofreram influência positiva do Programa, buscando relacionar a teoria e a prática na construção de uma educação de qualidade, afetando diretamente a sua identidade, profissional e pessoal. Durante este processo os licenciandos foram levados a refletirem sobre os desafios encontrados dentro e fora da sala de aula, buscarem soluções para os obstáculos e a superar o modelo de ensino tradicional enraizado nas escolas brasileiras. O presente trabalho corrobora outros estudos que têm demonstrado como uma política pública nacional de formação inicial de professores bem estruturada pode contribuir para a valorização do magistério, incentivando a formação docente em nível superior para a Educação Básica, por meio da inserção do professor em formação no cotidiano escolar.

Paper, Ink, Vodun, and the Inquisition: Tracing Power, Slavery, and Witchcraft in the Early Modern Portuguese Atlantic

AbstractIn 1730, the Inquisition of Lisbon arrested José Francisco Pereira, a man raised in West Africa and enslaved in Brazil then Portugal, who had learned along his transatlantic journeys the art of making amulets known in the eighteenth century Portuguese-speaking world as bolsas de mandinga. Mixing European esoteric material into objects of Afro-Atlantic agency, bolsa-makers such as José Francisco created objects of trustworthy might that brought empowerment and security of body and mind to a diverse clientele. The bolsas, as well as similar empowered objects created in Atlantic Africa reveal the deep and mutually transformative spiritual and material connections that the slave trade engendered between Europeans and Africans in the early modern period. Common concerns produced similar answers, not least newly defined or redefined notions of witchcraft and fetish and, more broadly, conceptions about the nature of power and its multivalent entanglements with the material world.

P789 Reverse left atrial functional remodeling after surgical aortic valve replacement is dependent on impaired left atrial function and reverse left ventricular remodeling

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Fundação Portuguesa para a Ciência e Tecnologia (SFRH/BD/104369/2014) and Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia (“Bolsa de investigação João Porto”) OnBehalf EPICHEART Study Background Left atrial (LA) functional remodeling is an important mechanism in the pathophysiology of aortic stenosis (AS), and readily-assessable using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE). It is uncertain whether and how surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) affects reverse LA functional remodeling. Aims We aimed to evaluate LA functional remodeling post-SAVR using STE and to explore potential underlying mechanisms. Methods 73 symptomatic severe AS patients (72.6 ± 8.14 years, 53.4% male) were assessed before and six months after SAVR (Fig.1-A). LA function was evaluated using STE-derived LA longitudinal strain during reservoir (LASr), conduit (LAScd) and contraction (LASct) phases (Fig1.-B); reverse LA remodeling was represented by their relative percentual changes. LA structure was assessed by LA area and indexed volume. Results LA structure and left ventricle (LV) indexed mass, end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and mean E/e" improved after SAVR (Table 1). Although paired-samples analysis did not show significant changes in LA function, multiple linear regression revealed that preoperative LA strain parameters were the sole baseline predictors of reverse LA remodeling: lower baseline LASr, LAScd and LASct were related to improved LASr, LAScd and LASct, respectively (Fig.1-C); mean E/e’ decrease was associated with LAScd improvement (Fig.1-D2). LV mass and LVEDD decrease were not associated with LA functional recovery. Conclusion Reverse LA functional remodeling is compromised after SAVR, and increased in patients with impaired baseline LA function. LV diastolic function recovery was linked to improved LA conduit function. An optimal echocardiographic cut-off should be further explored in order to better adjudicate surgical timing, and foster LA functional recovery.

O ESPAÇO FORMATIVO DO PIBID COMO LÓCUS DE DESESTABILIZAÇÕES E EX-POSIÇÕES SOBRE AS QUESTÕES DE GÊNERO E SEXUALIDADE

Este artigo narra e problematiza algumas cenas construídas durante uma pesquisa-intervenção desenvolvida por meio de encontros formativos com um grupo de educadoras, licenciandas e docente participantes de um projeto de educação infantil (creche) do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) de uma universidade federal de Minas Gerais. As temáticas debatidas nos momentos formativos focalizaram-se nas relações de gênero e sexualidade e foram trabalhadas em seis encontros com a turma. As provocações, preocupações e angústias associadas aos questionamentos das crianças sobre a sexualidade capturaram os pensamentos das participantes que trouxeram à tona o dilema entre o desconhecer e o supersaber. Os episódios emergiram, em geral, de situações imprevisíveis ocorridas no contexto escolar, mobilizando os saberes sobre gênero e sexualidade produzidos durante a formação inicial e continuada das participantes. O espaço do PIBID desenvolvido na universidade também potencializou a expressão dessas cenas, pois as participantes o reconheceram como lugar de desestabilizações, exposições e de investimentos em sua formação.
