Abstract Given the environmental impacts associated with the production of conventional Portland cement, the study of special cements with reduced environmental impact has been a trend. In this context, cements containing ye'elimite (YCC) stand out due to their low CO 2 emissions. Despite the environmental advantages, the high demand for aluminum economically limits the production of these cements.An alternative to making its production feasible is using residual raw materials as a source of Al 2 O 3 , such as SFCC (spent fluidized catalytic cracking).In view of this, this work aims to evaluate hydration at the initial age of cements. For this, six clinkers were produced with different ye'elimite contents, with and without SFCC. These were characterized by XRD/Rietveld. The pastes were evaluated by TG/DTG and XRD/Rietveld to understand the hydration mechanism on the third day of these cements. It was possible to synthesize the main phases of YCC, in clinkers with and without SFCC. In addition, at the age evaluated, the pastes with and without SFCC presented comparable phase composition, indicating the potential for co-processing this residue.

Resumo Diante dos impactos ambientais associados à produção do cimento Portland convencional, o estudo de cimentos especiais de reduzido impacto ambiental tem sido uma tendência. Neste contexto, os cimentos contendo ye’elimita (YCC) se destacam devido à baixa emissão de CO2. Apesar das vantagens ambientais, a alta demanda por alumínio limita economicamente a produção destes cimentos. Uma alternativa para viabilizar a sua produção é o uso de matérias-primas residuais como fonte de Al2O3, a exemplo do SFCC (catalizador gasto do craqueamento catalítico de leito fluidizado). Diante disso, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a hidratação na idade inicial de cimentos YCC produzidos a partir do coprocessamento do SFCC. Para isso, foram produzidos seis clínqueres com diferentes teores de ye’elimita, com e sem SFCC. Estes foram caracterizados por DRX/Rietveld. As pastas foram avaliadas por TG/DTG e DRX/Rietveld para compreender o mecanismo de hidratação em idade inicial destes cimentos. Foi possível sintetizar as principais fases dos YCC, nos clínqueres com e sem SFCC. Além disso, na idade avaliada, as pastas com e sem SFCC apresentaram composição de fases comparáveis indicando o potencial de coprocessamento do SFCC neste tipo de cimento.

Abstract Criminal execution is a state activity based on the principles of certain, strict and exhaustive legality and jurisdictionality, which is why the rights and duties of prisoners must always comply with legal provisions. Despite this, the Brazilian Regional Federal Court of the 4th Region (TRF-4) has been imposed on the monitored person the burden of bearing the expenses arising from electronic monitoring, a burden that is not supported by Brazilian legislation that deals with the subject. For this reason, it is necessary to question, as a research problem: are these TRF-4 decisions legally correct? In view of this, this article aims to critically analyze the decisions of the TRF-4 in this sense and the main arguments used, in order to verify whether they are legally correct or mistaken, due to the lack of a explicit legal provision in this regard, which, in fact, came to be recognized on several occasions by the Brazilian Superior Tribunal of Justice (STJ). The choice of TRF-4 is justified by the significant number of Court decisions in this regard, as well as by the fact that the other Federal Regional Courts do not have sentences with this content and intention. The theoretical framework uses productions related to criminal execution and its principles of legality and jurisdiction. The research concludes that the aforementioned decisional action of the TRF-4 is out of step with the principles of legality and jurisdictionality in criminal execution.

Resumo A execução penal é atividade estatal pautada nos princípios da legalidade certa, estrita e taxativa e da jurisdicionalidade, razão pela qual os direitos e deveres dos presos devem sempre observar as determinações legais. Apesar disso, o Tribunal Regional Federal da 4ª Região (TRF-4) vem impondo à pessoa monitorada o ônus de arcar com as despesas decorrentes da monitoração eletrônica, encargo que não encontra amparo na legislação brasileira que trata do assunto. Por essa razão, impõe-se questionar, a título de problema de pesquisa: estas decisões do TRF-4 estão juridicamente corretas? Diante disso, este artigo objetiva analisar criticamente as decisões do TRF-4 nesse sentido e os principais argumentos utilizados, a fim de verificar se estão juridicamente corretas ou equivocadas, em virtude da inexistência de disposição legal taxativa nesse intuito, o que, inclusive, veio a ser reconhecido em diversas oportunidades pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ). A escolha pelo TRF-4 é justificada pelo número significativo de decisões da Corte nesse sentido, bem como pelo fato de os demais Tribunais Regionais Federais não possuírem sentenças com esse teor e intuito. O referencial teórico recorre a produções relativas à execução penal e seus princípios da legalidade e jurisdicionalidade. A pesquisa conclui que a referida atuação decisional do TRF-4 está em descompasso com os princípios da legalidade e da jurisdicionalidade na execução penal.

Abstract Necrolytic migratory erythema (NME) is a rare skin disease typically associated with glucagonoma syndrome, although it can be associated with other non-tumoral diseases. We present the case of a 71-year-old man with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor diagnosed with ENM. Although zinc levels were normal, after zinc oral supplementation, there was complete resolution of NME lesions that persisted even after chemotherapy with concomitant somatostatin analog therapy. This has already, although rarely, been reported. NME pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. Hyperglucagonemia contributes to the dysfunction of the epidermis but its pathogenesis most likely results from numerous aspects including hypoaminoacidemia or zinc and essential fatty acids deficiency.

Resumo O eritema necrolítico migratório (ENM) é uma doença cutânea rara, tipicamente associada à síndrome do glucagonoma, embora possa associar-se a outras doenças não tumorais. Apresenta-se o caso de um homem de 71 anos com um tumor neuroendócrino pancreático que foi diagnosticado com ENM. Verificou-se resolução completa das lesões de ENM após suplementação oral com zinco, que haviam persistido mesmo após quimioterapia e terapêutica com análogo da somatostatina. Tal foi já ocasionalmente reportado. A fisiopatologia do ENM não é inteiramente compreendida. A hiperglucagonémia contribui para a disfunção da epiderme mas a sua patogénese é, provalvemente, multifatorial, incluindo determinantes como a hipoaminoacidémia ou a deficiência de zinco e ácidos gordos essenciais.

Abstract Nowadays, despite the implementation of new wind farms in Brazil, it still is difficult to form partnerships with companies in the sector, which significantly contributes to the gap in information provided by national literature and the lack of knowledge about the mechanical behavior of wind turbines subjected to transient wind effects. Therefore, through a Research and Development Project to optimize and improve modeling in wind systems, the Brazilian electric power company Eletrobras Furnas aims to facilitate the construction of smaller wind turbines to supply energy to regions far from the Brazilian coast that do not have high generation potential due to the incidence of low-speed winds. Two relevant aspects directly linked to the performance of this kind of structures are: (i) determining their natural frequency and (ii) ensuring that this frequency does not coincide with any external vibration frequency that the structure may experience in its lifetime. Wind turbines are complex systems with many degrees of freedom and their own frequencies associated with the respective mode shapes in which they naturally vibrate. These frequencies are inversely related to the mass and directly related to the stiffness of the structure. Thus, through numerical modeling using the Finite Element Method, the present article aims to list some of the main factors that can affect the prediction of the natural frequency of a real-scale wind turbine prototype and to evaluate its dynamic behavior, considering its rotor revolution frequency, its blade passing frequency and the wind characteristics of its operating area. Nowadays Brazil sector effects Therefore lowspeed low speed winds i (i ii (ii lifetime vibrate Thus Method realscale real scale area

ABSTRACT The use of residues resulting from the processing of agricultural products is an widely studied topic, which is justified by the need to reduce costs and by the search for productive sustainability, which has as one of its principles the full use production, reducing waste and therefore increasing the amount of products extracted per unit of area. Residual seeds, resulting from the production of fruit pulps, are rich in nutrients and with the potential to be further improved by the application of germination, increasing the protein content and the content of bioactive compounds. However, in the germination process, the product acquires a high water content, requiring immediate drying and control of the water adsorption kinetics after dehydration. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the water adsorption isotherms of germinated seeds flours from pumpkins of three varieties at temperatures of 15, 25 and 35 °C, to obtain the most appropriate mathematical model to describe the hygroscopic behavior and to determine the thermodynamic properties of water adsorption, through the values of the integral isosteric heat, differential entropy, differential enthalpy and Gibbs free energy for the studied conditions. The GAB and Peleg models fit the experimental data well. With increasing water activity, there was a reduction in isosteric heat and entropy. The enthalpy-entropy compensation theory was confirmed. Gibbs free energy was negative for all temperatures, increasing with increasing equilibrium water content, demonstrating that it is a spontaneous process.

ABSTRACT Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a neurologic emergency potentially fatal. This rare side effect is most commonly associated with first-generation antipsychotics and less frequently with atypical or second-generation antipsychotics. The diagnosis relies on both clinical and laboratory criteria, with other organic and psychiatric conditions being ruled out. CASE REPORT: A 39-year-old female patient, who is institutionalized and completely dependent, has a medical history of recurrent urinary infections and colonization by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Her regular medication regimen included sertraline, valproic acid, quetiapine, risperidone, lorazepam, diazepam, haloperidol, baclofen, and fentanyl. The patient began experiencing dyspnea. Upon physical examination, she exhibited hypotension and a diminished vesicular murmur at the right base during pulmonary auscultation. Initially, after hospitalization, she developed high febrile peaks associated with hemodynamic instability, prompting the initiation of antibiotic treatment. Despite this, her fever persisted without an increase in blood inflammatory parameters, and she developed purulent sputum, necessitating antibiotherapy escalation. The seventh day of hospitalization showed no improvement in symptoms, suggesting NNMS as a differential diagnosis. All antipsychotic and sedative drugs, as well as antibiotherapy, were discontinued, after which the patient showed significant clinical improvement. CONCLUSION: Antipsychotic agents are commonly employed to manage behavioral changes linked to various disorders. However, their severe side effects necessitate a high degree of vigilance, the cessation of all medications, and the implementation of supportive care measures. A prompt and accurate diagnosis of NMS is crucial to alleviating the severe, prolonged morbidity and potential mortality associated with this syndrome.

Resumo Nos últimos anos, a precariedade tem sofrido um aumento entre os mais diversos setores económico-produtivos. A universidade é um dos exemplos mais evidentes de como este fenómeno não se restringe a empregos com uma formação reduzida. A partir da recensão comparativa de duas obras recentemente publicadas, O Ensino Superior e Desenvolvimento, de José Ferreira Gomes, e Nós Somos os Rankings! Precariedade, Reflexividade e Acção Social na Academia Neoliberalizada, de Ana Ferreira, o objetivo deste ensaio reside na análise, por um lado, da relação entre a reconfiguração estrutural das instituições de ensino superior e o aumento da precariedade nesta área e, por outro, dos seus impactos na condição socioprofissional de quem dedica as suas vidas ao trabalho académico.

Abstract In recent years, precarity has increased across a wide range of economic and productive sectors. The university is one of the clearest examples of how this phenomenon is not restricted to jobs with reduced education. Based on the critical review of two recently published works, O Ensino Superior e Desenvolvimento, by José Ferreira Gomes, and Nós Somos os Rankings! Precariedade, Reflexividade e Acção Social na Academia Neoliberalizada, by Ana Ferreira, the aim of this essay is to analyse, on the one hand, the relationship between the structural reconfiguration of higher education institutions and the increase in precarity in this area and, on the other, its impacts on the socio-professional condition of those who dedicate their lives to academic work.

Abstract Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) are rare diseases, with high morbimortality. Among them, atypical hemolytic ure-mic syndrome (HUS), associated with deregulation of alternative complement pathway (genetic/acquired), represents a diagnostic challenge. Characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy, acute renal failure is one of its main features. Etiological/precipitant detection (TMA triggers) is essential, even though about 30% of cases remain idiopathic. There is not a direct diagnostic test, which makes this an exclusion final diagnosis (after primary and secondary causes are ruled-out). Further testing for genetic variations is important for prognostic purposes. We describe the case of a 40 years old woman, whose final diagnostic was an atypical HUS associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This case stands out by its rarity. We underline the importance of prompt initial diagnosis and timely target treatment beginning: Eculizumab, the only one available in Portugal at the moment. Plasmapheresis and/or renal replacement therapy must be considered case by case.

Abstract Context: The elderly population faces increasing difficulties arising from loneliness, depression and social isolation. The literature has shown the potential of using ICT to alleviate psychological distress and improve quality of life. Objective: To analyze the relationships between feelings of loneliness, depressive symptoms, and the impact of the use of and attitude towards ICT in the elderly. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study which included 669 subjects aged between 60 and 94 years. Through self-report instruments, feelings of loneliness (UCLA-LS), depressive symptomatology (GDS-15) and the use of and attitude towards ICT were assessed. Results: Women evidenced higher levels of depressive symptomatology and feelings of loneliness. The elderly aged over 80 years reported higher levels of loneliness (in the UCLA-LS Affinities subscale) and the 60-69 age group showed the highest rate of ICT use. The presence of feelings of loneliness was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, and ICT use was associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Aging can be lived with less depressive symptomatology if the elderly feels less isolated. The use of ICT, as a communication tool, may have a positive impact on their psychological well-being, as it is associated with lower levels of depression.

ABSTRACT Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in research should focus on the engagement of patients/carers in every stage of the research cycle. However, the inconsistent level of education and research experience may compromise this involvement and training and support are recommended. In Portugal, consistent training to empower patients in their health decisions, or to be involved in research is neither available nor adapted for the patients and public. Our main goal is to develop and deliver the first high-quality and comprehensive online educational programme for adult patients with asthma and their carers, based on patients’/carers’ needs and preferences. The project includes four tasks. In Task 1, we will identify and organise the most important topics on asthma and health research, based on the identification of educational needs of adult patients/carers with asthma and the expertise of asthma specialists, using Delphi methodology. In Task 2, we will design and implement a high-quality, free, online self-learning programme based on reliable sources of information and on patients’/carers’ preferences. In Task 3, we will assess its feasibility, satisfaction and impact. Finally, Task 4 will be centred on the management and dissemination. Patients and carers will be actively engaged in all stages of this project as co-researchers, including the writing of this protocol. By the end of this project, we expect to have implemented the first high-quality, free-of-charge, online self-learning programme on asthma and health research, adapted for adult patients with asthma and their carers. It will be available for all patients/carers not only from Portugal but also from all Lusophone countries. This programme will empower patients and carers to increase their knowledge about the disease, develop new skills and have the opportunity to learn about research. Ultimately, it will introduce the knowledge patients/carers need to represent themselves and influence health policies in Portugal successfully.

RESUMO O envolvimento dos doentes e cidadãos na investigação (PPI) deve ocorrer em todas as etapas do ciclo de investigação. No entanto, a inconsistência nos níveis educacionais e na experiência de investigação pode ser um entrave significativo de uma participação ativa. Assim, ações de formação e suporte são recomendadas. Em Portugal, não existe formação específica para capacitar os doentes nas suas decisões de saúde, ou para se envolverem em investigação. O objetivo principal é desenvolver e tornar acessível o primeiro programa educacional online de elevada qualidade para doentes adultos com asma e seus cuidadores, com base nas suas necessidades e preferências. O projeto inclui 4 tarefas. Na tarefa 1 iremos identificar os tópicos mais importantes na área da asma e investigação em saúde, a partir da identificação das necessidades educacionais de doentes/cuidadores e da experiência de especialistas em asma, usando o método Delphi. Na tarefa 2 pretendemos desenhar e implementar um programa de elevada qualidade, gratuito e online, baseado em fontes de informação fiáveis e nas preferências de doentes/cuidadores. Na tarefa 3 vamos disseminar o programa e avaliar a sua exequibilidade, aceitabilidade e impacto. A tarefa 4 irá incidir na gestão e disseminação do projeto. Doentes e cuidadores estarão ativamente envolvidos em todas as tarefas do projeto como coinvestigadores, onde se inclui a escrita deste protocolo. No final deste projeto, esperamos ter implementado o primeiro programa de auto-aprendizagem de elevada qualidade, gratuito e online para a asma e investigação em saúde, adaptado para doentes/cuidadores com asma. Este programa irá capacitar doentes e cuidadores para aumentar o seu conhecimento sobre a doença, para desenvolver novas competências, e será uma oportunidade para aprenderem sobre investigação. Este programa permitirá também a introdução a conhecimentos necessários para doentes e cuidadores se fazerem representar e influenciarem as políticas em saúde em Portugal.
