Identificação e avaliação da resistência antimicrobiana de leveduras em vegetais minimamente processados

The consumption of minimally processed vegetables has been growing due to consumer demand for products easy to prepare. As it is extremely manipulated, this product can be contaminated with spoilage organisms such as yeasts, that have the ability to decrease the shelf life of food. In this sense, seeking to concerns about the resistance of microorganisms to sanitation methods for food industries and given the need for more studies of the antimicrobial power of ozone, this study aimed to isolate and identify the yeasts present in minimally processed vegetables, and check their antimicrobial resistance to sodium hypochlorite and ozone. 84 samples of minimally processed vegetables were collected. From them, 47 yeast cultures were isolated and submitted for identification and testing of resistance to sodium hypochlorite sanitizers (50, 100, 200 and 400 ppm) and ozone (0.25 and 0.5 ppm). From the total yeast isolated, 85.1% corresponds to Cryptococcus laurentii, 12.8% to Arxula adeninivorans and 2.1% to Debaryomyces hansenii var. fabryii. All of them were resistant to the sanitizers sodium hypochlorite and ozone at all concentrations tested. Given these observations, some actions must be taken during processing to avoid contamination with deteriorative microbiota.

Formação continuada no Amapá: a percepção dos educadores sobre o encontro pedagógico dos municípios

This paper presents the perceptions of participating teachers and technicians who produced and ministered courses in the Project of Continuing Education of teachers of Amapá State, called Pedagogical Encounter of Municipalities and is based on research results of the Master Degree in Education that was aimed to analyze and describe the referred project as well as studying the impact that it had on educational context of the municipalities. It was conducted a study of the Project’s trajectory including its theoretical basics, implementation and, mainly, a number of Project’s results. The methodology consisted of acquiring and analyzing official papers and interviewing 14 teachers and technicians. The statements obtained make it clear that the Pedagogical Encounter had a major impact on the educational reality of the municipalities, with more positive than negative results not only for teachers but also for instructors and coordinators. The statements can also be concluded that the continuing education actions will not achieve its objectives if they are not accompanied by public policies direct to improve living and job conditions of the teachers.

Ações educativas para o controle de vetores da dengue e leishmaniose visceral

Results of educative actions on the control of vectors for dengue and leishmaniasis were evaluated by using an online semi-present course directed to teachers from Fundamental I Education level in Araçatuba-SP. 40 teachers from municipal schools located on geographical areas of town with higher occurrence of dengue and leishmaniasis cases, attended to the course, which consisted in a conceptual part directed to specific subjects such as vector borne and zoonotic diseases, responsible ownership of pets and health education and a practical phase, directed to execution and application of educative projects in the target schools. Data about the teacher’s specific knowledge, before and after the attendance to the course, were submitted to the Wilcoxon test with a 5% of significant level. The application of practical educative projects was evaluated by multiplicative actions involving target public. Tests showed statistically significant increase in the knowledge about the studied diseases (p<0.0001) after the course, especially on questions related to etiological agent, clinical symptoms on man and animals and prevention. Activities of knowledge multiplication envolved teachers and students which detected the problems and promoted education actions in their neighborhood as stage performing, group cleaning activities and elaboration and distribution of folders during a student pared. In conclusion, educative actions direct to the control of diseases vectors using a semi-present course, provides new knowledge to the teachers, impelling them to motivate their students to adopt vectors control measures and environmental cares and to sensitive the community to collaborate with control diseases.

Estratégias de sinalização da qualidade da carne suína ao consumidor final

A suinocultura destaca-se na economia brasileira. Contudo, avaliando-se o consumo interno da carne suína in natura, observa-se uma estagnação em patamares baixos. O artigo tem como objetivo analisar as principais iniciativas adotadas pelo Sistema Agroindustrial (SAG) da carne suína no Brasil visando sinalizar qualidade aos consumidores. Devido à marcante assimetria de informações, ressalta-se a importância da organização da cadeia produtiva, melhor direcionando esforços para a expansão do mercado interno. Este trabalho sugere ações visando aprimorar a coordenação deste SAG com vistas à melhoria na qualidade da carne ao consumidor e à redução da informalidade.

La conclusione del contratto informatico nella contrattazione internazionale

Nel corso del presente studio si è cercato di capire quale potesse essere la normativa applicabile ai vari tipi di contratto elettronici analizzati, sia dal punto di vista del diverso modello contrattuale e sia dal punto di vista del soggetto, come parte del contratto. Infatti, proprio la peculiare logica delle norme poste a tutela del consumatore giustifica un separato approfondimento degli aspetti riguardanti i contratti conclusi tra operatori professionali, contratti business to business e quelli di cui sia parte un consumatore, contratti business to consumer. Sulla base di questi aspetti soggettivi e contrattuali, è stata analizzate la normativa comunitaria di riferimento, dal regolamento n. 44 del 2001 alla direttiva comunitaria 2000/31/CE. Si sono affrontati anche gli aspetti relativi alle norme di derivazione Uncitral, dalla Model Law del 1996 alla Convenzione del 2005 sulle comunicazioni elettroniche nella contrattazione internazionale, le norme di soft law, dalla Nuova lex mercatoria ai Principi Unidroit alle Linee Guida OCSE e la loro interazione con il commercio elettronico. In seguito, si è analizzata la convenzione di Roma sulle obbligazioni contrattuali e il regolamento Roma I, le loro differenze e la loro diretta applicabilità, se esiste, con il commercio elettronico. In particolare, il Regolamento Roma I ha, nella maggior parte delle sue disposizioni, riproposto quanto contenuto nella convenzione di Roma, però in chiave moderna, apportando delle innovazioni nel commercio elettronico internazionale.

A Morphological Box for Handling Temporal Data in B2C Systems

User interfaces are key properties of Business-to-Consumer (B2C) systems, and Web-based reservation systems are an important class of B2C systems. In this paper we show that these systems use a surprisingly broad spectrum of different approaches to handling temporal data in their Web inter faces. Based on these observations and on a literature analysis we develop a Morphological Box to present the main options for handling temporal data and give examples. The results indicate that the present state of developing and maintaining B2C systems has not been much influenced by modern Web Engi neering concepts and that there is considerable potential for improvement.

Efforts and Models of Education for Parents: the Danish Approach

The report examines the relationship between day care institutions, schools and so called “parents unfamiliar to education” as well as the relationship between the institutions. With in Danish public and professional discourse concepts like parents unfamiliar to education are usually referring to environments, parents or families with either no or just very restricted experience of education except for the basic school (folkeskole). The “grand old man” of Danish educational research, Prof. Em. Erik Jørgen Hansen, defines the concept as follows: Parents who are distant from or not familiar with education, are parents without tradition of education and by that fact they are not able to contribute constructively in order to back up their own children during their education. Many teachers and pedagogues are not used to that term; they rather prefer concepts like “socially exposed” or “socially disadvantaged” parents or social classes or strata. The report does not only focus on parents who are not capable to support the school achievements of their children, since a low level of education is usually connected with social disadvantage. Such parents are often not capable of understanding and meeting the demands from side of the school when sending their children to school. They lack the competencies or the necessary competence of action. For the moment being much attention is done from side of the Ministries of Education and Social Affairs (recently renamed Ministry of Welfare) in order to create equal possibilities for all children. Many kinds of expertise (directions, counsels, researchers, etc.) have been more than eager to promote recommendations aiming at achieving the ambitious goal: 2015 95% of all young people should complement a full education (classes 10.-12.). Research results are pointing out the importance of increased participation of parents. In other word the agenda is set for ‘parents’ education’. It seems necessary to underline that Danish welfare policy has been changing rather radical. The classic model was an understanding of welfare as social assurance and/or as social distribution – based on social solidarity. The modern model looks like welfare as social service and/or social investment. This means that citizens are changing role – from user and/or citizen to consumer and/or investor. The Danish state is in correspondence with decisions taken by the government investing in a national future shaped by global competition. The new models of welfare – “service” and “investment” – imply severe changes in hitherto known concepts of family life, relationship between parents and children etc. As an example the investment model points at a new implementation of the relationship between social rights and the rights of freedom. The service model has demonstrated that weakness that the access to qualified services in the field of health or education is becoming more and more dependent of the private purchasing power. The weakness of the investment model is that it represents a sort of “The Winner takes it all” – since a political majority is enabled to make agendas in societal fields former protected by the tripartite power and the rights of freedom of the citizens. The outcome of the Danish development seems to be an establishment of a political governed public service industry which on one side are capable of competing on market conditions and on the other are able being governed by contracts. This represents a new form of close linking of politics, economy and professional work. Attempts of controlling education, pedagogy and thereby the population are not a recent invention. In European history we could easily point at several such experiments. The real news is the linking between political priorities and exercise of public activities by economic incentives. By defining visible goals for the public servants, by introducing measurement of achievements and effects, and by implementing a new wage policy depending on achievements and/or effects a new system of accountability is manufactured. The consequences are already perceptible. The government decides to do some special interventions concerning parents, children or youngsters, the public servants on municipality level are instructed to carry out their services by following a manual, and the parents are no longer protected by privacy. Protection of privacy and minority is no longer a valuable argumentation to prevent further interventions in people’s life (health, food, school, etc.). The citizens are becoming objects of investment, also implying that people are investing in their own health, education, and family. This means that investments in changes of life style and development of competences go hand in hand. The below mentioned programmes are conditioned by this shift.

Variáveis evidenciadoras dos processos de transformação do campo : O caso do Espírito Santo - Brasil

This article aims to analyze the occurrence of changes in the countryside, in Brazil, from the observation of variables such as type of job, income, family profile, access to consumer goods, services, and information and communication technology. There had been used exploratory analysis and logistic regression method, based on data from the Pesquisa Nacional de Amostra de Domicílios (Brazilian National Household Sample Survey - PNAD) for the state of Espirito Santo. The study found that about 27.2 of individuals who had lived in the countryside report an urban profile, revealing that the urban lifestyle is encompassed not only in the city

La primaria durante la dictadura : Reforma curricular y "concentración" de escuelas rurales

En este artículo analizaremos una parte de las políticas educativas dirigidas a la escuela primaria que fueron diseñadas e implementadas por los ministros de educación de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Nos referiremos a dos de ellas: la reforma curricular para el primer ciclo y el programa de 'concentración' destinado a las escuelas rurales. Con respecto a la primera, veremos que el ministro dispuso la continuidad de una reforma que había comenzado en 1975 y detallaremos la distancia que existió entre la letra de la norma y su implementación en las escuelas. Sobre la segunda, mostraremos que las autoridades bonaerenses crearon un proyecto de 'concentración' que promovió el cierre de cientos de establecimientos en las zonas rurales.
