In this study, we evaluate industrial grape pomace from two wineries in the region known as São Francisco Valley, in Brazil, which were produced in two different cycles in 2015. The interest in this field of research arises from recent studies that have shown that macro-antioxidant (MACAN) substances have a positive effect on the body, especially because they favor the health of the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, in this research we analyze several varieties of grapes, such as Alicante Bouschet, Egiodola, Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional and Syrah.
COVID-19 The integrity evaluation of heat transfer tubes is an important part of nuclear power safety. The capability evaluation of nondestructive testing is an inevitable requirement for the development of quality evaluation. On the basis of case analysis, two parameters of uncertainty (M) and detection credibility (N) are introduced to evaluate nondestructive testing capability. The uncertainty is expressed by the relative value of the difference between the detection failure probability and the real failure probability.
The aim of this study was to identify the spatial distribution of the elderly in the city of Maringá, Paraná, according to the prevalence of IC. This is a cross-sectional survey conducted with 377 elderly users from all Basic Health Units (UBS) in the city. The Rome III Criteria were used to define the presence of IC. Data analysis was performed using the local empirical Bayesian Estimator, the global Moran index. Statistical analyzes were performed with the aid of the statistical environment R (R Development Core Team), version 3.3.1 (p≤0.05).

Methodology: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, conducted with 141 people, distributed by neighborhoods based on the epidemiological study of clusters that occurred randomly in 21 neighborhoods. Blood was the material used to analyze total Hg, total Se and TSH and free T4.
Brazil is an emergent country that has made remarkable progress in social inclusion in the past twenty years. However, people from disadvantaged backgrounds face a major hurdle in their social ascension process: the difficulty experienced in acquiring good command of English. Virtually all management positions in major corporations demand fluent English of the candidates and many other doors are closed for professionals who are not fluent in English.
Sweet potatoes roots have become the focus of research in the past recent years due to their unique nutritional and functional properties. Under Brazilian climate conditions, sweet potato cultivar BRS Rubissol has high yield on average 40 tonnes per hectare and presents excellent quality for industrial processing; however, when the roots are stored at room temperature, the shelf life is over in two to four weeks due to the sprouting and weight loss (withered).
Risk management is adecision making and execution process that aims to identify, assess, and control threats and effects of risk in an organization. To increase the success rate of project development, the literature suggests the need for effective risk management practices. Although this management is a fundamental task for organizations and their projects, they not always perceived it, risking possible failures.
The foundry waste generated during the production of cast iron has been studied for being used as a byproduct in civil construction industry. This study evaluated the feasibility of using two types of foundry waste— phenolic sand (PSW) and green sand (GSW)—as partial replacement material of natural fine aggregate to offer technical and environmental advantages.The foundry waste was mixed before using in order to obtain one final product with 60%wt of PSW and 40%wt of GSW.
