ABSTRACT Processing residues are still one of the main obstacles in the fishing industry due to waste and environmental impact. With that, ways of reusing these residues are researched to generate new products with different applications. The objective of this work was to develop and evaluate protein films obtained from mechanically separated meat (MSM) of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) filleting residues. To get the films, the casting technique was used, varying their composition in relation to the amount of protein (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) and glycerol (0.0, 0.1 and 0.2%), creating a 32 factorial plan, with 9 treatments. The films were characterized in terms of color, opacity, water solubility, mechanical properties and water vapor permeability (WVP). In the end, a yield of 18.70% of Nile tilapia myofibrillar proteins (MPs) and a post-lyophilization protein content of 87.33% were obtained. It was concluded that the film that presented the best result in all the characteristics analyzed was the one with 1.0% of MPs and 0.1% of glycerol. impact applications MSM (MSM Oreochromis niloticus used 1.0, 10 1 0 (1.0 15 5 1. 2.0% 20 2 0.0, 00 (0.0 01 0. 0.2%, 02 0.2% , 0.2%) 3 plan treatments color opacity solubility WVP.

O artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pré-avaliação da Política Nacional de Gestão Estratégica e Participativa do Sistema Único de Saúde (ParticipaSUS). Trata-se de estudo de avaliabilidade tendo como unidade de análise a Gestão Federal - Secretaria de Gestão Estratégica e Participativa/Ministério da Saúde - SGEP/MS de outubro de 2010 a março de 2011. Foram realizadas reuniões de consenso com os profissionais da SGEP/MS e os da área acadêmica e análise documental. Elaborado modelo lógico e matriz de análise e julgamento com critérios, indicadores e padrões, as fontes de verificação, pontos de corte e julgamento. A descrição da intervenção possibilitou discussão sobre conceito, princípios, diretrizes e ações. Os princípios e as diretrizes priorizam o componente 'Apoio à Gestão Participativa'. Na construção do modelo lógico, o foco da discussão foram as ações que devem ser realizadas pelo nível federal em cada componente, pois o documento oficial não faz este detalhamento. A Política ParticipaSUS é uma intervenção passível de avaliação, pois foi possível explicitar sua plausibilidade. O estudo de avaliabilidade ou pré-avaliação mostrou-se apropriado com maior entendimento dos envolvidos, melhor definição dos objetivos e metas e indicando áreas prioritárias para futuras avaliações.

This article presents the results of a pre-evaluation of the National Policy of Strategic and Participative Management of the Unified Health System (ParticipaSUS). It involved a feasibility study conducted between October 2010 and March 2011 with Federal Management and the Strategic and Participative Management Department/Ministry of Health as the unit of analysis. Document analysis was performed and consensus meetings were held with professionals of the SSPM/MH and academic area. A logical model and analysis and judgment matrix with criteria, indicators, standards, data sources and cut-off points was prepared. A description of the intervention elicited discussion on concepts, principles, guidelines and actions. The consensus was that the principles and guidelines prioritized the 'Support to Participative Management' component. The focal point for elaboration of the logical model was action at federal level on each component, as official documents failed to list them. The ParticipaSUS policy is an intervention open to evaluation, albeit its plausibility has been established. The pre-evaluation proved to be appropriate and better understood by professionals, with clearer definition of objectives and goals, while duly highlighting priority areas for future evaluation.

Sementes de Bauhinia pentandra (Bong) Vog. ex. Steua. foram estudadas quanto aos aspectos fenológicos (tamanho, massa e comprimento do hilo) e quanto a sua composição química. A farinha de sementes teve o teor de nitrogênio total determinado e foi submetida à extração de proteínas em diferentes valores de pH. Uma lectina foi isolada de sementes por cromatografia de afinidade em coluna de Sepharose-4B. A homogeneidade da lectina foi demonstrada por eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida na presença de SDS e beta-mercaptoetanol. A lectina mostra apenas uma banda protéica de massa molecular aparente de 30 kDa. A lectina de B. pentandra mostra especificidade por D-galactose, requer a presença de cátions divalentes (Ca2+ e Mn2+) para exercer sua atividade e tem uma composição de aminoácido caracterizada pelo alto teor de ácido aspártico, ácido glutamico, alanina e pelo baixo teor de metionina, cisteina e triptofano. A lectina aglutina eritrócitos de coelho e humano do grupo A e foi relativamente resistente ao tratamento térmico, retendo parte de sua atividade original mesmo após 60 min a 70 ºC.

Bauhinia pentandra (Bong) Vog. ex. Steua seeds were investigated with respect to phenologic aspects (size, mass, hilum and length) and with respect to their chemical composition. The total nitrogen content of the seed flour was determined, and the flour was extracted in different pH values. A lectin was isolated from the seeds by Sepharose-4B affinity chromatography. The homogeneity of the lectin was demonstrated by SDS-PAGE in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol. Only one protein band with an apparent molecular mass of 30 kDa was found. The B. pentandra lectin showed a carbohydrate specificity for D-galactose, a requirement for divalent metal cations (Ca2+ and Mn2+) for full activity and amino acid composition with a high content of aspartic acid, glutamic acid and alanine and low levels of methionine, cysteine and tryptophan. The lectin agglutinated rabbit and human A group erythrocytes and was relatively stable to heat treatment, retaining half of its original activity after 60 min at 70 ºC.
