Compósitos ppticamente transparentes baseados em celulose bacteriana e boehmita, siloxano e/ou sistema boehmita-siloxano

The present invention comprises composites with multifunctional characteristics, being capable of substituting glass, with significant advantages, with particular emphasis on flexibility, for a variety of applications such as, for example, display screens and others. Among other aspects, the product that constitutes the object of the invention is particularly characterized by rendering bacterial cellulose transparent, in addition to being flexible, biocompatible and able to replace glass in 100% of possible applications. Among other aspects, the development of the composites according to the present invention allows an effective increase in optical transmission, enabling an optical transmission of more than 90%, such transparency being necessary, equally, for the development of medical devices, for example.

Expression of 8-oxoguanine Glycosylase in Human Fetal Membranes

Problem The most common DNA lesion generated by oxidative stress (OS) is 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) whose excision repair is performed by 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1). We investigated OGG1 expression changes in fetal membranes from spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) and preterm premature rupture of the membranes (pPROM) and its changes in vitro in normal fetal membranes exposed to OS inducer water-soluble cigarette smoke extract (CSE). Method of study DNA damage was determined in amnion cells treated with CSE by comet and FLARE assays. OGG1 mRNA expression and localization in fetal membranes from clinical specimens and in normal term membranes exposed to CSE were examined by QRT-PCR and by immunohistochemistry. Results DNA strand and base damage was seen in amnion cells exposed to CSE. OGG1 expression was 2.5-fold higher in PTB samples compared with pPROM (P=0.045). No significant difference was seen between term and pPROM or PTB and term. CSE treatment showed a nonsignificant decrease in OGG1. OGG1 was localized to both amnion and chorion with less intense staining in pPROM and CSE-treated membranes. Conclusion Increased OS-induced DNA damage predominated by 8-oxoG is likely to persist in fetal cells due to reduced availability of base excision repair enzyme OGG1. This can likely lead to fetal cell senescence associated with some adverse pregnancy outcome.

Avaliação da atenção concentrada e memória em tabagistas com baixa carga tabágica

Introduction: Smoking is considered by World Health Organisation (WHO) a disease, since nicotine is addictive and cause physical, emotional and behavioral disorders in people who smoke. The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentrated attention and memory in smokers and nonsmokers, and the influence of one cigarette in this variables. Material and Methods: We selected two groups of subjects between 18 and 25 years, with no history of acute or chronic respiratory disease. Group 1 (G1) consist of 40 nonsmoking individuals and group 2 (G2) 40 smokers (who smoked less than 20 cigarettes per day, for up to 10 years). The subjects were tested for concentrated attention and memory test (AC Test), nonsmokers performed the test once, smokers performed the test twice, before smoking and after five minutes after smoking one cigarette. Smokers stayed without cigarret for one our before the first test. Results: Comparing the tests nonsmokers versus smokers first test, there was no significant difference (p> 0.05), however, the analysis of the two trials of smokers, showed improvement in concentrated attention and memory after smoke (p <0.0001). Conclusions: There was no difference in Concentrated Attention and Memory among nonsmokers and smokers in abstinence, however smokers showed significant improvement in AC Test after smoking.

Filme O Jardim Secreto: uma experiência com a leitura das legendas cinematográficas

By analyzing the pedagogical practices in respect of acts of reading in the current context of school education institutions vital, it is clear that they are linked to decipher. But it is believed that for the student to learn to read is necessary dialogue with the text, attribute meaning to writing and comprehension. When thinking about the use of technologies such as film subtitles, it is believed that they allow readers to form since they require a quick read without using the decryption with the attribution of meaning to follow the entire course of the film. This paper aims to present and analyze a film session the project subtitled and dubbed films in public schools and training of the reader, which investigates the contributions of cinematic legends in training readers in elementary school. In this paper we present data on the session of the film The Secret Garden, with students between six and ten years old in a public school in Marilia, SP. The session took place in film school, in a room adapted. When analyzing the results, we observed that reading subtitles contributes to children are not attached to decipher, because we used reading strategies to understand the plot and tried to dialogue with the text. This approach not only contributes reader for reading the screens, but also in fixed supports, for developing specific tactics for the scrolling text which can be applied to the texts on the immobilized support.

Comparação de custo e viabilidade técnica de obras com parede de concreto em relação a obras de alvenaria estrutural

Are being released in the construction market in Brazil ventures called Super 6. These businesses sell the promise of delivery of the apartment in six months after the launch of the venture. To meet this deadline are being deployed the constructive method of concrete walls using aluminum shapes. This system basically consists of pouring slabs and walls once, i.e. building up the wall shapes and slab joints. On the walls are used cloth, with reinforcements in vain and corners of walls and on these screens are tied the electrical boxes and conduits. For each tower is used the so-called system of half way, i.e. the system so it is sufficient to mount the Middle deck. Using a concrete which can be deformed in the next day you can lift one deck every two days with ready electric and hydraulicsystem, without having to tow the wall doing only minor fixes in the imperfections after concrete. With this system won an incredible speed in the construction of the structure reducing in almost one-third the length of the work. This work aims to compare in terms of cost-benefit of masonry structural systems and this new concrete wall system called Super 6. For this comparison will be used as parameter values used for the achievement of the Enterprise Portal of Roses of constructor Tenda which is one of the first to use concrete wall system. This project basically consists of seven towers of six floors each and will be budgeted the cost of this project if it were held in structural masonry. From these data it will be possible to make a comparison about the actual beneficial to adopt this system
