Analise microbiológica da flora intestinal do mosquito Aedes Aegypti através do sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA na plataforma Illumina MiSeq

Dengue é uma arbovirose que afeta cerca de 100 milhões de pessoas anualmente, em mais de 100 países situados nas regiões tropicais e subtropicais. Foi considerada a doença viral que mais cresceu no ultimo ano, repercutindo em impactos sociais e econômicos nas regiões endêmicas devido às altas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade desencadeadas pela infecção. O principal vetor da dengue é o mosquito Aedes aegypti, presente em toda a faixa tropical e subtropical. Por apresentar hematofagia antropofílica, rápido desenvolvimento e características comportamentais especificas, é um excelente transmissor do vírus dengue. Medidas de controle da disseminação da dengue são restritas à eliminação do mosquito vetor, e um tratamento específico ainda não foi desenvolvido, bem como a criação de uma vacina que previna simultaneamente a infecção pelos quatro sorotipos do arbovírus. Uma característica que determina a disseminação de doenças é a alta competência vetorial de seus mosquitos transmissores, que tem sido associada à composição da microbiota intestinal do inseto. As bactérias presente no intestino do mosquito exercem funções relacionadas a sua nutrição, desenvolvimento e reprodução, e são também um importante fator na eliminação de patógenos, por interferirem diretamente na atividade viral, ou indiretamente a partir da ativação das vias antivirais pelos micro-organismos. Dessa forma, este trabalho visa estudar a diversidade microbiana intestinal do mosquito Aedes aegypti em diferentes estágios de vida, através de sequenciamento de última geração com a plataforma MiSeq Illumina

Aplicação de princípios do pensamento enxuto no processo de envio e devolução de correspondências em um banco privado

The success obtained by the Toyota Company in implementing the Toyota Production System was a global case of study that generated different new approaches, such as Lean Thinking. This approach was already successfully applied to various sectors, breeding methodologies as Lean Service, Lean Office or Lean IT. In this paper, the main concepts of Lean Thinking were applied in an information flow through an action research, more specifically in the sending and return of mailing process from a bank. The objectives were to create changes that led to the decrease of the mail returning indexes and ultimately to cost reduction and waste elimination. For this purpose the actual situation was mapped, and after data collection and analysis, a future proposed state was generated for the information flow. Alongside, indicators were conceived for managing process control and a set of implemented and proposed improvements were delivered. The applied Lean Thinking concepts were considered efficient for the application, and the proposed objectives were achieved

Aumento de produtividade em uma célula produtiva com processo de usinagem utilizando conceitos Lean

In the current competitive and global scenario, companies in search for solutions that become the production every time more efficient is increasing and at the same time cost reductions and cost eliminations are becoming increasingly evident and needed. In an attempt to improve production, this work aims to compare benefits obtained using principles of philosophy Lean Manufacturing in an productivity growth of a cell from an auto parts sector industry. For that purpose it will be studied the history, the concepts and the tools of philosophy Lean Manufacturing, thus using the as a business-strategic tool to accomplish goals that the company expects to get greater competitiveness and quality. The efficiency of philosophy Lean Manufacturing was already confirmed through applying the concepts in the process which has been improved inside an auto parts sector industry. At last, comparative analyzes showed benefits obtained with the use of Lean Manufacture tool called VSM, Value Stream Map, which translates the Value Stream Map of a particular family of parts as the identification, minimization and elimination of waste identified

Síntese e caracterização estrutural de pigmentos cerâmicos a base de cromita por método químico

The ceramic pigments are colored inorganic substances that during the process of dispersion in the ceramic glazes and subsequent calcination, are stable against physical and chemical attack. Therefore, they are crystalline compounds applied in the ceramic industry for coloring vitreous base. In this study, the Pechini method was used for obtaining the pigment CuCr2O4 with heat treatment at the temperatures of 800, 900 and 1000 ° C. The powder pigments were characterized on their structural, morphological and colorimetric aspects. The thermal analysis conducted on an amorphous precursor in a TG / DTA indicates the weight loss in the entire temperature range investigated, with characteristic exothermic peak of the elimination of the organic composition of the precursor around 300°C. The development of the crystalline phases were investigated by XRD, using a diffractometer with Cu Ka radiation and graphite monochromator, where it was observed the presence of crystalline phases corresponding to Cr2O3 and CuCr2O4.The measurements of the specific surface area of the powders pigments were carried out in an equipment Micromeritcs, model ASAP 2000, using N2 as gas of adsorption/desorption. The colorimetric measurements of the pigments were made in a colorimeter Gretac Macbeth Color-eye spectrophotometer 2180 / 2180UV in CIELAB standards. Based on the obtained results, it can be verified the thermal stability of the powder pigments of green coloration, which enables it as an alternative to the materials currently used in the manufacture of ceramic tiles.

Métodos de pontos interiores e o planejamento de tratamento de câncer por radioterapia

O câncer é uma doença que tem início quando ocorre uma mutação genética no DNA da célula, onde o mecanismo de controle do crescimento normal do tecido celular é alterado. O tratamento do câncer por radioterapia tem como objetivo a eliminação das células cancerígenas ou alívio dos sintomas. Este trabalho visa estudar conceitos envolvidos no planejamento do tratamento de câncer por radioterapia, o modelo de programação linear, os métodos Primal-Dual-Afim-Escala e Primal-Dual-Clássico e apresentar uma aplicação dos métodos para problemas gerais de otimização

Exigências ambientais europeias: novos desafios competitivos para o complexo eletrônico brasileiro

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the implications of the european environmental requirements for electronic equipment on brazilian electronic industry sector. These deter-minations deal with elimination of hazardous substances and management of electronic products waste and have reached not only the electronic sector companies in international level, but brazilian electronic sector as well. Most brazilian companies of the electronic sector are getting complied with the requirement that restricts the use of hazardous substances. The main consequences of this process are technological innovations and changes on contractual relationships among companies. Foreign companies branches are more advanced than local ones in terms of timing of compliance to the new requirements and technological perfor-mance, showing an alignment with headquarter strategies. Not being complied with these requirements avoid companies to achieve commercial benefits and open space for questions about policies Brazil must take.

Gengivite Plasmocitária induzida por uso de pimenta

The aim of this case report is present a case in which the patient had plasma cell gingivitis induced by consumption of pepper. Patient A.M.S., male, 23 years, presented himself at the Clinic of Periodontology, complaining of severe pain, bleeding gums and tooth mobility. Interview was conducted not observing anything relevant. In oral evaluation, we observed in the anterior swollen gums, bleeding, suppuration and great touch, and tooth mobility. Being an aggressive framework in relation to patient age, we performed the following laboratory tests: complete blood count, blood sugar, and coagulation, and biopsy in the anterior inferior, because a diagnosis of lymphoma. At the end of antibiotic therapy, a significant improvement of clinical symptoms, pain relief, less swollen gums and reduce the suppuration and mobility. Laboratory tests showed no change. Fifteen days later, the patient returned with worsening of clinical status. The pathological diagnosis was plasma cell gingivitis and then performed a new history by placing greater emphasis on dietary habits, and the patient reported consumption of pepper in their meals, and relate this to clinical presentation. After elimination of pepper diet the patient showed remission of clinical data.
