Nem tudo que reluz é ouro: desmestificando a interface entre o novo paradigma do desenvolvimento e o novo urbano

O presente estudo teve como objetivo, a partir de uma análise teórica e de revisão bibliográfica, compreender a essência da interface entre o novo paradigma de desenvolvimento (com ênfase no local) e o novo urbano, este que, está alicerçado...

<i>Sechium edule</i> var. <i>nigrum spinosum</i> (Chayote) Increases the mRNA Expression of Genes Encoding Sirtuins in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Consumption of Sechium edule var. nigrum spinosum has antioxidant and hypoglycemic effects. Regarding the former, certain signaling pathways that influence these effects have already been proposed; however, the underlying molecular mechanis...

Snow Depth Retrieval Using Detrended SNR From GNSS-R With Bidirectional GRU

Snow depth monitoring is crucial for hydrology, climate research, and avalanche prediction. While traditional global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reflectometer methods offer cost-effective snow thickness retrieval, they suffer from po...

Autism Spectrum Disorder and collective catering service: results of the pilot study FOOD-AUT

ObjectiveIndividuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often exhibit a low dietary diversity due to food selectivity that leads them to a marked preference for high-energy-density food, exposing them to risk of malnutrition. Despite these...

Case report: Incidentally discovered case of pheochromocytoma as a cause of long COVID-19 syndrome

Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are rare but potentially lethal tumors that arise from the adrenal medulla. The clinical suspicion and diagnosis of PCC can be challenging due to the non-specific nature of signs and symptoms. In many patients, infe...

Diet in 1-year-old farm and control children and allergy development: results from the FARMFLORA birth cohort

Background: A farming environment confers strong protection against allergy development. We have previously shown that farming mothers consume more full-fat dairy than control mothers, who instead consume more low-fat dairy, margarine, and ...

Influence of priming on germination, development, and yield of soybean varieties

A two-factorial field experiment with soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) was conducted in a randomized block design, with four replications. The tested factors were seed priming method and genotype responses. There had been seven soybean var...

My Caregiver the Cobot: Comparing Visualization Techniques to Effectively Communicate Cobot Perception to People with Physical Impairments

Nowadays, robots are found in a growing number of areas where they collaborate closely with humans. Enabled by lightweight materials and safety sensors, these cobots are gaining increasing popularity in domestic care, where they support peo...

DAF-UNet: Deformable U-Net with Atrous-Convolution Feature Pyramid for Retinal Vessel Segmentation

Segmentation of retinal vessels from fundus images is critical for diagnosing diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. However, the inherent challenges posed by the complex geometries of vessels and the highly imbalanced distribution of ...

Global quantum correlations in finite-size spin chains

We perform an extensive study of the properties of global quantum correlations in finite-size one-dimensional quantum spin models at finite temperature. By adopting a recently proposed measure for global quantum correlations (Rulli and Sara...

An η-Intuitionistic Fuzzy Rings Structure

In this article, we present the structure of η-intuitionistic fuzzy ring. An η-intuitionistic fuzzy ring is a structure which is built with combinating the definition of fuzzy ring, intuitionistic fuzzy set, and η-intuitionistic fuzzy set. ...

Mass variation observing system by high low inter-satellite links (MOBILE) – a new concept for sustained observation of mass transport from space

As changes in gravity are directly related to mass variability, satellite missions observing the Earth’s time varying gravity field are a unique tool for observing mass transport processes in the Earth system, such as the water cycle, rapid...
