Abstract Faced with changes in eating habits, consumers currently seek to enjoy moderate consumption of healthy food products that results in sensory pleasure. Here, our study aimed to evaluate the biochemical and physicochemical properties and sensory profile of craft beers produced in the Brazilian Midwest region. Our evaluation of the beverages revealed different physicochemical characteristics such as alcohol content, soluble solids, titratable acidity in citric acid, and dry extract percentage, with values ranging between 4.06-6.13%, 5.13-10.98 °Brix, 1.71-3.45%, and 3.38-7.99%, respectively. Moreover, the average density of the beverages was 0.9906 g/cm3. In addition, the antioxidant activity and total phenolic of the beverages ranged between 14.28-20.46 mMol of Trolox/100 mL and 74.84-108.45 mg/100 g, respectively. Phenolic compounds that are essential in human nutrition, such as epicatechin, catechin, gallic acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, rutin, and kaempferol, were identified in the beverages. Regarding the sensory profile of the craft beers, the beers had an average acceptability index of 75.11% for appearance, 70.24% for aroma, 60.43% for flavor, and 73.53% for texture. Our study demonstrated a correlation between chemical composition and acceptability index of beer, indicating a preference for lighter colored, fuller, and less acidic beers. habits pleasure Here region content solids acid percentage 4.066.13%, 406613 4.06 6.13%, 4 06 6 13 4.06-6.13% 5.1310.98 5131098 5.13 10.98 5 10 98 5.13-10.9 Brix °Brix 1.713.45%, 171345 1.71 3.45%, 1 71 3 45 1.71-3.45% 3.387.99%, 338799 3.38 7.99%, 38 7 99 3.38-7.99% respectively Moreover 09906 0 9906 0.990 gcm3 gcm g cm3 cm g/cm3 addition 14.2820.46 14282046 14.28 20.46 14 28 20 46 14.28-20.4 Trolox100 Trolox 100 Trolox/10 74.84108.45 748410845 74.84 108.45 74 84 108 74.84-108.4 mg100 mg mg/10 nutrition epicatechin catechin pcoumaric p coumaric rutin kaempferol 7511 75 11 75.11 appearance 7024 70 24 70.24 aroma 6043 60 43 60.43 flavor 7353 73 53 73.53 texture beer colored fuller 066 4.066.13% 40661 406 4.0 613 6.13% 4.06-6.13 1310 5.1310.9 513109 513 5.1 1098 10.9 9 5.13-10. 713 1.713.45% 17134 171 1.7 345 3.45% 1.71-3.45 387 3.387.99% 33879 338 3.3 799 7.99% 3.38-7.99 0990 990 0.99 g/cm 2820 14.2820.4 1428204 1428 14.2 2046 20.4 2 14.28-20.

Abstract The objective of this study was carried out to evaluating the productive performance, the physical-chemical quality of the milk, the physical-chemical and sensorial quality of rennet cheeses obtained from the milk of goats submitted to diets with diferente levels of guava agroindustrial waste (GAW). The goats were randomly distributed in a Latin square (4x4) according to the substitution levels (0, 14, 28, and 42%) of inclusion GAW in the diet. The consumption of natural and dry matter increased with the increase in hay substitution. However, the physical-chemical requirements of milk and cheese were not altered.

Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the influence of Crotonblanchetianus Baill essential oil on the sensory parameters of fermented milk drinks with yellow mombin pulp. The milk drinks analyzed contained milk and whey from goat origin, water-soluble soy extract, yellow mombin pulp, and Crotonblanchetianus Baill essential oil (CBEO) in the following proportions: 0.0, 0.0035; 0.0070, and 0.0105 g/L according to the Artemia salina toxicity test. The extraction of essential oil from the Crotonblanchetianus Baill leaves was carried out using hydrodistillation by steam. The sensory profile of the fermented milk drink was obtained through Quantitative Descriptive Analysis. The CBEO influenced the color of yellow mombin, brightness, viscosity, woody flavor, appearance, and flavor attributes. The samples were also approved in the acceptance test, with no statistical difference between treatments. Therefore, it was concluded that the addition of CBEO promoted changes in the sensory characteristics of the fermented milk drink with yellow mombin pulp for the appearance and flavor attributes. However, it did not negatively influence the acceptance of the analyzed product.

Aim A retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate the performance of resin composite restorations placed by undergraduate dental students with 1 to 15 years of placement based on dental records. Methods Four calibrated operators evaluated 498 restorations (anterior and posterior) of 120 patients according to Ryge’s validated criteria (USPHS). Results The criteria that showed the smallest changes between the types of failures were color matching, marginal discoloration and surface texture. Regarding the longevity, the surface texture showed an increase in the frequency of failures from the second time interval (3.1 to 6 years). Higher prevalence of failure was found in class II and III restorations, with secondary caries being the main reason. No significant differences were found for anatomic form, marginal adaptation, and color matching. Class V restorations showed a higher fracture rate with total displacement of the restoration, with no increase in the frequency of fracture over time. Conclusion High rate of restoration failure was observed, possibly due to the lack of experience and skills of the students. This outcome highlight the need for continuous revision and improvements of teaching practice regarding the development of clinical competences and skills by dental students.

RESUMO O texto propõe uma reflexão acerca de possibilidades epistemológicas geradas pela aproximação da interseccionalidade com teorias e metodologias relacionadas à transformação social. Para tanto, na discussão, é focalizada a ancestralidade afro-brasileira como meio para o repensar de novos contornos para a geração e o compartilhamento de conhecimentos. A proposta reúne alguns movimentos teórico-metodológicos - intitulados no texto como “epistemologias de reexistência” - a fim de relacioná-los na constituição do rótulo “aquilombagem crítica”. A intenção central é contribuir para o debate voltado a formas efetivas de aproximação entre educação formal e conhecimento experiencial no Brasil. Assim, a aquilombagem crítica pode ser observada como um ambiente de (re)conexão multidimensional para intervenções atentas ao diálogo plural entre realidades.

ABSTRACT The present text proposes a reflection on epistemological possibilities generated from the link of intersectionality with theories and methodologies related to social transformation. Therefore, in the discussion, Afro-Brazilian Ancestral Wisdom is focused as a means to rethink new outlines for the generation and sharing of knowledge. This proposal brings together some theoretical and methodological movements - titled in the text as “epistemologies of reexistence” - in order to relate them in the constitution of the label “critical aquilombage”. The main intention is to contribute to the debate focused on effective ways of bringing formal education and experiential knowledge closer together in Brazil. Thus, critical aquilombage can be seen as an environment of multidimensional (re)connection for interventions attentive to the plural dialogue between realities.

RESUMEN El texto propone una reflexión sobre las posibilidades epistemológicas generadas a partir del enfoque de la interseccionalidad con teorías y metodologías relacionadas con la transformación social.

Esta propuesta reunió algunos movimientos teóricos y metodológicos, titulados en el texto como “epistemologías de reexistencia”, para relacionarlos en la constitución de la etiqueta “aquilombaje crítico”. La intención central es contribuir al debate centrado en formas efectivas de acercar la educación formal y el conocimiento experimental en Brasil. De esta manera, el Aquilombaje Crítico presenta un entorno de (re)conexión multidimensional para intervenciones atentas y plurales entre realidades.

Abstract This study evaluated of the effects of açai oil during the close-up dry period of Holstein cows on colostrum quality, as well as on the immune and antioxidant responses of their calves. Sixteen multiparous cows were assigned randomly to two treatments: 1) CONTROL (n = 8) - 4.48% of soybean oil/concentrate; 2) AÇAI (n =8) - 4.48% of açai oil/concentrate. Cows fed with açai oil had greater (P≤0.04) colostrum concentrations of immunoglobulins (Ig) G (1st and 2nd milking), IgG heavy chains, IgA (only at 1st milking), alpha-lactalbumin (1st milking), total protein, and antioxidant capacity against peroxyl radicals (only at 1st milking). Cows fed with açai oil had greater serum concentrations of globulin (only on the day of calving) and total protein (only on the day of calving) (P = 0.03). Calves born of cows fed with açai oil had greater serum concentrations of total protein (only 24 and 48 h after calving) and serum concentration of IgG heavy chain (only 24 h after calving) and globulin (only 24 and 48 h after calving) (P = 0.01). These data suggest that the addition of açai oil in the cow feed during the close-up dry period boosted immunity in their calves by altering the composition of colostrum.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing corn by double-distilled glycerin, a co-product of the biodiesel industry, on goat curd cheese in terms of physical-chemical, microbiological and sensory aspects. Twelve multiparas Saanen goats weighing 47.07 ± 2.41 kg and at 90 ± 5 days of lactation. The experimental design was completely randomized with two treatments (0 and 15% inclusion of glycerin). The physicochemical parameters analyzed were: fat (%), non-fat solids (%), protein (%), lactose (%), salts (%), relative density at 15/15 °C (gmL-1), index cryoscopic (°C), electrical conductivity (mScm-1), pH and acidity. The milk from each treatment was used to make the rennet cheese. The fat had a significant effect (P < 0.05) with inclusion of glycerin in the diet. The physicochemical characteristics of the cheese were influenced (P < 0.05) by feeding up to 15% of glycerin. Regarding sensory attributes, only firmness was influenced (P < 0.05) by the inclusion of glycerin in the diet of dairy goats. Bidistilled glycerin, when inserted in the diet of dairy goats at a level of 15%, causes a reduction in the lipid content of milk and cheese, consequently affecting the cheese yield, and the parameter of firmness in the sensory of the evaluated cheeses.

Resumo Este estudo objetivou adaptar e levantar evidências de validade com base na estrutura interna, na relação com outras variáveis e de conteúdo da Escala de Medo da COVID-19 (EMC-19, Fear of COVID-19 Scale) para português brasileiro. Para tanto, realizou-se a Análise Fatorial Confirmatória da medida e sua análise de invariância por sexo; ademais, estabeleceu--se normas para interpretação dos escores do instrumento. Fizeram parte da pesquisa 1.000 adultos, de ambos os sexos. Os resultados evidenciaram que todos os índices de ajuste foram satisfatórios, confirmando a unidimensionalidade da escala, bem como sua invariância. Constatou-se, ainda, que houve validade convergente entre a EMC-19 e o estresse dos participantes. Além disso, foram propostos estratos de classificação da intensidade do medo (leve, moderado e severo) com base na normatização dos escores. Por fim, concluiu-se que a EMC-19 apresenta evidências suficientes que recomendam a sua utilização para medida do medo da COVID-19 no Brasil.

Abstract This study aimed to adapt and raise evidences of validity based on the internal structure, on the relationship with other variables, and on the content of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) in Brazilian Portuguese. We performed the Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the scale, its invariance analysis by gender, and established norms for interpreting the instrument’s scores. Participants were 1,000 adults of both genders. The findings showed all fit indices as satisfactory, confirming the scale’s one-dimensionality and its invariance. Results also demonstrated convergent validity between the FCV-19S and the stress of the subjects. Moreover, the stratification of the intensity of fear (mild, moderate and severe) was determined based on the standardization of scores. We concluded that FCV-19S presents sufficient evidence to support its use to assess the fear of Covid-19S in Brazil.

Abstract Exclusive maternal breastfeeding is recommended until the infant is six months old, with the subsequent introduction of food gradually. We investigated the prevalence of early complementary feeding in the first six months of life in a medium-sized city in the Midwest region of Brazil (Rio Verde, GO, Brazil). Of the 564 infants under six months of age, 81.2% of infants were breastfed in the last 24 hours, wherein 21.5% were exclusively breastfed, 15.9% received a complementary milk form, and 43.8% received another type of milk. When questioned if the infant had been introduced to complementary feeding at any point since birth, 49.3% of parents or guardians replied in the affirmative, of which 41.8% of infants received water, 21.5% received tea, and 12.1% were given natural fruit juice or coconut water. There was a positive correlation between the introduction of water or foods other than breast milk and the highest level of parental or guardian’s education. Our results demonstrate a persisting need to improve public policy programs that encourage breastfeeding.

Abstract Introduction: The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale - Revised (CESD-R) was developed to provide an efficient screening scale for depression syndrome, mimicking the original CESD, one of the most widely used screening tools to measure depressive symptoms globally. This investigation examined the factor structure of the CESD-R with a non-clinical Brazilian population. Method: We performed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of two adult samples, and also conducted invariance analysis by sex and place of residence of the participants. The full sample consisted of 1,427 adults, divided into two groups. The first sample (n = 400) was used for the EFA and the second sample (n = 1027) for the CFA. Results: The EFA indicated an internal structure composed of a single factor, which explained 53.2% of the variance. The CFA attested to the unidimensionality of the measure. Fit indices and reliability indicators showed values higher than expected, without modifications in the initial structure. The model was invariant in relation to the variables investigated at four different levels (configural, metric, scalar, and strict). Conclusions: Our findings support the utility of the CESD-R and suggest its validity for application to the Brazilian population in general.

Resumo Introdução: A Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale - Revised (CESD-R) foi elaborada para fornecer um eficiente diagnóstico de sintomas de depressão, seguindo a proposta original da CESD, que é uma das escalas para rastreamento da depressão mais utilizadas mundialmente. Esta pesquisa avaliou a estrutura fatorial da CESD-R em uma população não-clínica no Brasil. Método: Realizaram-se análises fatoriais exploratória (AFE) e confirmatória (AFC) com duas amostras compostas por adultos. Também foi verificada a invariância do modelo por sexo e local de residência do participante. A amostra total foi composta por 1427 adultos, tendo sido dividida em duas subamostras. A primeira subamostra (n = 400) foi utilizada para a AFE e a segunda (n = 1027) para a AFC. Resultados: A AFE indicou uma estrutura interna composta por um único fator, que explicou 53.2% de variância. A AFC atestou unidimensionalidade da medida. Os índices de ajuste e indicadores de confiabilidade apresentaram valores acima do esperado, sem modificações na estrutura inicial. O modelo foi invariante em relação às variáveis investigadas em quatro diferentes níveis (configural, métrico, escalar e estrito). Conclusões: Os presentes achados suportam a utilidade da CESD-R e sugerem sua validade para aplicação na população brasileira.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Até o presente momento, não existem dados sobre a percepção de injustiça em pessoas com dor musculoesquelética no Brasil. O presente estudo avaliou a percepção de injustiça em pessoas com dor musculoesquelética crônica e a sua associação com a intensidade de dor. MÉTODOS: Foram coletadas informações referentes à identificação e experiência de injustiça utilizando o Questionário de Injustiça Percebida e a intensidade da dor utilizando a escala numérica da dor. Foi realizada a análise descritiva dos dados. O teste de correlação de Pearson foi utilizado para se verificar a correlação entre a intensidade de dor e a injustiça percebida. O nível de significância adotado foi de alfa=95%. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 110 pacientes com dor musculoesquelética crônica, sendo 94 mulheres com média de idade de 62,9±14,9 anos. A média da injustiça percebida foi de 19,45±11,68 de um total de 48 pontos. A intensidade média de dor foi 6,39±2,48. A correlação entre a intensidade de dor e a injustiça percebida foi de r=0,23 [IC (95%) = 0,04 a 0,40; p=0,008]. A correlação entre culpa e injustiça e a intensidade de dor foi de r=0,16 (p=0,08). Para o domínio gravidade e irreparabilidade foi de r=0,28 (p=0,003). CONCLUSÃO: Os pacientes com dor musculoesquelética crônica apresentam baixos níveis de injustiça percebida. A pontuação total e o domínio de gravidade e irreparabilidade do instrumento de injustiça percebida apresentaram correlação fraca com a intensidade de dor.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To date, there is no information on the perception of injustice in patients with musculoskeletal pain in Brazil. The present study evaluated the perception of injustice in individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain and its association with pain intensity. METHODS: Information regarding the participants’ identification and experience of injustice was gathered using the Injustice Experience Questionnaire. Pain intensity data was collected through the numerical pain rating scale. The descriptive data analysis was performed. Pearson’s correlation test was used to verify the association between pain intensity and perceived injustice. The level of significance adopted was alpha=95%. RESULTS: The study was composed of 110 patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain being 94 women with a mean age of 62.9±14.9 years. The mean perceived injustice was 19.45±11.68 out of a total of 48 points. The mean pain intensity was 6.39±2.48. The correlation between pain intensity and perceived injustice was r=0.23 [CI (95%) = 0.04 to 0.40; p=0.008]. The correlation between blame and unfairness and pain intensity was r=0.16 (p=0.08). For the severity and irreparability domain the correlation was r=0.28 (p=0.003). CONCLUSION: Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain presented low levels of perceived injustice. The total score and the severity and irreparability domain of the perceived injustice instrument showed a weak correlation with pain intensity.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing corn with bidistilled glycerin from the biodiesel industry on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory quality of milk and goat cheese. Twelve Saanen multiparous goats weighing 40 ± 6 kg and 30 ± 5 days of lactation were used. The physicochemical parameters analyzed were: fat (%), non-fat solids (%), protein (%), lactose (%), salts (%), relative density at 15/15 °C (gmL-1), index cryoscopic (°C), electrical conductivity (mScm-1), pH and acidity. The milk from each treatment was used to make the rennet cheese. The physicochemical variables: pH, lipids, ESD, and cheese yield had a significant effect (P < 0.05) for the increasing use of bidistilled glycerin in the goat feeding. The pH, acidity, EST, ESD, and yield variables presented linear regressive effect and lipids quadratic regressive effect. The softness sensory attribute had a significant effect (P < 0.05) for the increasing levels of bidistilled glycerin in the goat diet; the softness decreased as the glycerin level increased. Bi-distilled glycerin, when inserted in the diets of dairy goats at increasing levels, promotes a reduction in the lipid content of milk, consequently affecting the cheese yield and the sensory softness parameter.
