A espécie C. chloropyga, foi selecionada por seu comportamento semelhante em dieta natural (carcaça) e na dieta de leite e levedura (STOFFOLANO, 1974). Verificou-se inicialmente, o efeito de diferentes niveis de proteína na dieta, no desenvolvimento das larvas, utilizando-se a:rcD fonte proteica leite em pó integral, leite em pó integral combinado com levedura, caseína e caseína combinada com levedura, nos níveis de 2, 4, 6, 8 e 10%. Nas dietas de leite e de leite e levedura, as porcentagens de ganho de peso foram proporcionais ao nível de proteína das dietas nos níveis 2 e 4%. Nos níveis 6, 8 e 10%, não houve crescimento, provavelmente devido à alta concentração de sólidos nas dietas. Com a utilização de caseína e caseína combinada com levedura, obtivemos respostas de crescimento proporcionais ao níve1 de proteína das dietas até o nível 8% para as dietas de caseína e levedura e até o nível 10%, para as dietas de caseína. Como as dietas contendo levedura apresentaram resultados superiores aos obtidos somente com leite ou caseína como fontes proteicas e, sendo levedura uma fonte rica em ácido ribonucleico, este substituiu a levedura nas dietas de caseína, obtendo-se resultados superiores aos até então obtidos.- A série de dietas contendo caseína e RNA foi por este motivo utilizada como padrão nos ensaios subseqüentes. Verificamos então, respostas das larvas quando proteinas de diferentes origens eram adicionadas às dietas. No primeiro grupo de dietas as farinhas das leguminosas feijão e soja foram utilizadas, testando-se também o efeito de tratamento térmico e o de suplementação com metionina no desenvolvimento das larvas. A suplementação de feijão crú com metionina não aumentou a porcentagem de ganho de peso das larvas, o que ocorreu após o tratamento térmico e também com a suplementação da farinha tratada. Nas dietas com farinha de soja crua, quando suplementadas com metionina, as larvas apresentaram porcentagem de ganho de peso maior do que as dietas não suplementadas. O tratamento térmico também melhorou a qualidade das dietas. Os cereais arroz, milho e trigo foram utilizados como contendo cereal como única fonte proteica, para milho e trigo. A suplementação das dietas com aminoácidos limitantes produziu resultados superiores ou próximos aos obtidos com as dietas complementadas. Um último ensaio foi realizado utilizando-se ovo integral liofilizado como fonte proteica, obtendo-se resultados bastante satisfatórios, embora as dietas não contivessem RNA adicionado, confirmando que o desempenho da dieta depende do balanço adequado de nutrientes / Abstract: The growth of Chrysomya albiceps, Chrysomya chloropyga and Chrysomya megaceplala larvae toward a natural (mice carcass) and milk-yeast diets was studied. The larva of C. chloropyga was selected because of its identical growth in both diets. Experiments were carried out to study the effect of different protein levels and different protein sources as well. Four pratein sources were utilized in this study: l)dried whole milk, 2) dried whole milk-plusyeast, 3) casein and 4) casein cornbined with yeast. The protein levels were 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% for each one of the diets. In the dried whole milk and dried whole milk-plus-yeast the gain in body weight was proportional to the protein content of the diets, at the levels af 2 and 4%. At 6, 8 and 10% the growth was impaired, probably due to the high solid concentration in the diets. When the caseio and the casein-plus-yeast diets were utilized, the growth was proportional to the protein content of the diets up to the leveI of 8%, in the case of the casein plus-yeast diet, and up to 10% for the casein diet. When yeast was incorporated to the diets, the growth rates were always higher than those obtained without it. This result was not surprising sinee yeasts are a good natural source of ribonucleic acid. The addition of RNA to the casein diet showed even better results, in terms of growth, than the casein-plus-yeast diet. For this reason, the casein diet to which RNA was added, was taken as the standard diet throughout this study. The effect af different protein saurces on the growth rates of C. chloropyga larvas was investigated in another set of experiments. The ability of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and soy-bean (Glycine max) proteins to support grawth as well as the effect of heat treatment and L-methionine supplementation were studied. The larvae did not respond to the supplementation of the unheated bean protein with L-methionine, however the growth rates were higher when the flour was heat-treated and when the heated-treated flour was supplemented with L-methionine. In the case of unheated soy flour, there was a better growth response after L-methionine addition; heated soy flour supported higher growth rates than the unheat flour both with and without L-methionine addition. Rice corn and wheat were also testes as protein sources for the C. Chloropyga larvae. Corn and wheat when supplemented with limiting amino acids elicited a better growth response than the unsupplemented sources. Supplementation of corn, rice and wheat with bean and soy-bean protein was beneficial to the growth of C. Chloropyga larvae. Dried whole egg vlas also tested, giving higher growth rates when compared with any other protein source / Mestrado

Dentre todas as variedades estudadas, o novo cultivar IAC-Anhandy foi o que apresentou os maiores teores de óleo e amêndoa. A concentração de proteína nas sementes das diversas variedades variou entre 15,38 e 25,28%. As proteínas de girassol mostraram deficiência em lisina (3,5g/l00g de proteína) e um alto conteúdo de aminoácidos sulfurados (5,2g/l00g de proteína) em relação ao padrão da FAO, 1973. Verificou-se que o óleo das oito variedades de girassol conteve urna elevada porcentagem de ácidos graxos insaturados (86,3 a 91,1%), principalmente ácidos linoleico (37,4 a 69,0%) e oleico (19,9a 53,7%). O conteúdo de ácido clorogênico na farinha desengordurada das variedades de girassol variou entre 3,60' e 5,51% na base seca. Também foram determinadas as condições ótimas para a extração das proteínas d~.girassol, a partir da farinha desengordurada obtida de sementes do cultivar IAC-Anhandy. O maior rendimento na extração das proteínas,94%,foi obtido utilizando-se as seguintes condições: relação farinha:água, 1:10 (p/v); pH, 10,0; temperatura, 309C; tempo de agitação, 30 mino. Para evitar o desenvolvimento da cor verde, indesejável, durante o'processo de obtenção do isolado proteico de girassol, devido à oxidação do ácido clorogênico presente naturalmente nas sementes, a extração das proteínas foi feita na presença de diferentes concentrações de tetraborato, ascorbato e metabissulfito de sódio. Estes reagentes exerceram um efeito inibidor da formação de cor, sendo que a maior eficiência na inibição do desenvolvimento da cor, em combinação com um alto rendimento na extração das proteínas, foram conseguidos pelos tratamentos com ascorbato de sódio O,OlM ou com metabissulfito de sódio O,OlM. Posteriormente, foram avaliadas algumas propriedades funcionais da farinha desengordurada e dos isolados proteicos de girassol obtidos a partir dos diferentes tratamentos. Para fins de comparação, foi estudado o isolado proteico de soja proteimax 90 HG. Os isolados proteicos de girassol apresentaram solubilidade máxima de 7 e solubilidade mínima na faixa proteico de soja teve maior capacidade aos produtos proteicos de girassol. Entretanto, os isolados protéico so de girassol mostraram excelentes propriedades de aeração em comparação com o Proteimax 90 HG.Em geral, a presença de ascorbato de sódio O,OlM ou de .rneta-bissulfito de sodio O,OlM durante a extração das prote1nas de g1rassol, não afetou as suas propriedades emulsificantes e de aeração, enquanto que observou-se um aumento na sua capacidade de absorção de água e de gordura. A possível utilização dos isolados proteicos de girassol em produtos de panificação foi avaliada pela incorporação dos mesmos em farinha de trigo (na proporção de 1:9) utilizada no preparo de biscoitos. Obtiveram-se produtos com características aceitáveis de cor e sabor quando foram utilizados os isolados proteicos preparados na presença de ascorbato de sódio O,OlM. em pH acima de pH de 4 a 6. O isolado presença de ascorbuto de sódio 0,01M / Abstract: The physical and chemical characteristics of eight varieties of sunflower seeds of commercia1 importance in Brazil were studied.The IAC-Anhandy, a new cultivar devéloped at the Instituto Agronômico in Campinas, SP, presented the highest levels of oil and ] ernel. The protein content of the several varieties of sunflower seeds ranged from 15.38% to 25.28%. In relation to the FAO standard for protein, 1973,sun-f10wer proteins exhibited lysine deficiency (3.5g/100g of protein) and a high content of sU1fur-contain!ng amino acids (5.2g/100g of protein). AlI eight varieties had a high leveI of unsaturated fatty acids (86.3-91.1%), main1y lin01eic (37.4-69.0%) and oleic acids (19.9-53.7%). The chlrogenic acid content in the defatted sunf10wer f10ur varied b~ 3.60% and 5.51%, ín the dry basis.The optimum conditions for protein extraction were determinedusing defatted f10ur of the IAC-Anhandy variety.ThelÜghestyield,of 94t, was. obtained using the following conditions: flour: water ratio, 1:10 .(w/v) i stirring time, 30 mini temperature, 30QCi pH, 10.0. n order to avoid the deve10pment of.an undesirab1e green color, due to chlorogenic acid oxidation, the protein extraction was pe! formed in the presence of different concentrations of sodiurn tetrabora te, ascorbate or metabisulfite. These reagents showed a inhibitory effect on the green color formation. Thebest efficiency in color inhibition and the highest yield in protein extraction were obtained using O.OlM sódiurn ascorbate or O.OlM sodiurn metabisulfite. Some functional properties of the defatted sunflower flour and isolates (extracted in the absence and presence of 0.01M sodium ascor-bate or O.OlM sodium metabisulfite) were determined. proteimax 90 HG, a commercial soy protein isolate, was used for comparison purposes.The sunflower isolates exhibited maximurn and minimum solubility at pH abor ve 7.0 and between 4.0 and 6.0, respectively. Thesunflower p~otein isolates showed a higher whipping capacity and lower water and fat absorption than Proteimax 90 HG. The emulsifying and whipping properties of sunflower isolates Here not affected by the presence of O.OlM sodium ascorbate or O.OlM sodium metabisulfite. However,. an increase in the water and fat absoq~ tion was observed. Cookies were prepared with wheat flour containing 10% sun flower protein isolates, in order to evaluate the feasibility of their use in the baking industry. Cookies with desirable characteristics af taste and color were made employing the isolate obtained in the pre-sence of O.OlM sodium ascorbate / Mestrado / Tecnologia de Alimentos / Mestre em Tecnologia de Alimentos

Depuis une dizaine d’années, la thérapeutique de pulpotomie totale est proposée dans la littérature pour le traitement pérenne de l’inflammation pulpaire des dents permanentes matures. De nombreuses publications de type essai clinique, étude de cohorte, série de cas ou revue systématique rapportent des résultats convergents qui placent la pulpotomie totale comme une alternative au traitement endodontique conventionnel. Cependant, la procédure reste peu enseignée, la variabilité méthodologique des études, les influences potentielles des fabricants de matériaux et les interprétations dogmatiques peuvent constituer un frein à la diffusion de cette thérapeutique. Des arguments complémentaires semblent nécessaires pour que les cliniciens, les enseignants et les chercheurs puissent appuyer leurs pratiques de soins, d’enseignements et de recherches selon la démarche fondée sur la preuve. Cette thèse constitue une démarche réflexive essentielle à la compréhension des phénomènes qui régissent la guérison à long terme de l’inflammation pulpaire et aux choix méthodologiques qui permettront d’évaluer cette guérison. Ce travail interroge les données bibliographiques pour argumenter les trois questions suivantes : 1°) Pourquoi et comment la pulpotomie totale peut-elle être considérée comme une thérapeutique de l’inflammation pulpaire ; 2°) Quelles procédures doit-on respecter et quels matériaux peut-on utiliser pour considérer la pulpotomie totale comme une thérapeutique à part entière ? 3°) Quels critères peut-on utiliser pour évaluer le succès d’une pulpotomie totale sur dents permanentes ? Ce travail bibliographique est complété par une étude expérimentale au cours de laquelle la fiabilité et la stabilité d’un guide de lecture des images radiologiques ont été vérifiées afin de proposer un outil de formation susceptible d’être appliqué lors de l’évaluation des résultats de la pulpotomie totale. / Full pulpotomy is a therapeutic in which the coronal pulp portion is removed surgically followed by the capping of the remaining radicular pulp. During the last decade, this therapeutic has been reinvestigated as a definitive treatment of pulp pathologies in mature permanent teeth. Converging datas from published studies suggested that full pulpotomy could be recognized as an alternative to root canal treatment. Furthermore, few clinical trials and a meta analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of initial pulp state or pulp capping material on the success of this treatment. However, large variations in the methodology of the studies, potential influence of laboratories of materials and endodontic dogmas are the major obstacles to the promotion of this therapeutic. An evidence-based approach is necessary because incorporates the best evidence in making decisions. This strategy will help clinicians, teachers and researchers to include full pulpotomy in a daily practice This thesis consists to question the scientific literature in order to answer three following questions: 1) Why and how the full pulpotomy should be considered as a treatment of pulp pathologies ? 2) Which procedures could be applied for full pulpotomy ? 3) Which criteria’s could be used to evaluate the outcomes of full pulpotomy ? These literature reviews are completed with an experimental study about an enriched version of a practical guide for the interpretation of PAI score. Its reliability and reproducibility were verified among French undergraduate students. This practical guide will be a useful tool in evaluation of outcomes in endodontics.

Multicenter preclinical studies have been suggested as a method to improve potential clinical translation of preclinical work by testing reproducibility and generalizability of findings. In these studies, multiple independent laboratories collaboratively conduct a research experiment using a shared protocol. The use of a multicenter design in preclinical experimentation is a recent approach and only a handful of these studies have been published. In this thesis, I aimed to provide insight into preclinical multicenter studies by 1) systematically synthesizing all published preclinical multicenter studies; and 2) exploring the experiences of, barriers and enablers to, and the extent of collaboration within preclinical multicenter studies. In Part One, I conducted a systematic review of preclinical multicenter studies. The database searches identified 3150 citations and 13 studies met inclusion criteria. The multicenter design was applied across a diverse range of diseases including stroke, heart attack, and traumatic brain injury. The median number of centers was 4 (range 2-6) and the median sample size was 133 (range 23-384). Most studies had lower risk of bias and higher completeness of reporting than typically seen in single-centered studies. Only five of the thirteen studies produced results consistent with previous single-center studies, highlighting a central concern of preclinical research: irreproducibility and poor generalizability of findings from single laboratories. In Part Two, I performed semi-structured interviews with researchers who have been involved in a preclinical multicenter study. Braun and Clarkes’ thematic analysis was used to identify emerging themes, and the extent of collaboration was evaluated using an established theory of collaboration developed by Wood and Gray. Twelve researchers from 6 studies were interviewed. Most participants indicated that funding and the culture of the scientific community were barriers, and that established relationships and transparency with collaborators were enablers to multicenter studies. Some participants felt that a harmonized protocol was optimal, while others stated that variability in the protocol across sites was more appropriate. Most participants indicated that multicenter studies had a purpose and place in preclinical research. My findings also suggest that multicenter preclinical studies may provide a method to robustly assess therapies prior to considering clinical translation. These insights will allow for more effective planning and execution of future preclinical multicenter projects and may support the development of best practices and guidelines.

Given the tremendous impact of online reviews on consumer choice, responding to online word of mouth (WOM) has become an important channel for firms to engage the consumers. This thesis investigates how firms can proactively respond to online product reviews to engage customers and manage customer relationships. In Study One, based upon the data of hotel reviews on Tripadvisor.com, I propose that responding by firms differ in three aspects, namely frequency, speed, and the amount of information, and these metrics exert significant influence on subsequent consumes’ WOM engagement, hotel rankings, and votes of usefulness of the reviews. Moreover, in contrast to responding to positive reviews, responding to negative reviews greatly affects consumption decisions given the negativity bias among consumers. Thus, the subsequent two studies examine whether responding help to alleviate the detrimental impact of negative reviews. Drawing from the literature on crisis management, service failure recovery, Study Two posits that sellers’ responses to negative WOM can be categorized as defensive and accommodative. Further, whether accommodative or defensive responding is more effective depends upon the nature of NWOM, namely regular NWOM or product failure. Based on the results of a between-subject experiment, Study Two provides evidence for the asymmetric impact of accommodative versus defensive responding. When confronting regular NWOM, defensive response outperforms accommodative response or no response, whereas accommodative response is superior to defensive response or no response when coping with a service failure. Further, based on the attribution of negative reviews, a moderated mediation effect is found. To enhance the external validity and robustness of these findings, Study Three provides econometric evidence that the relative effectiveness of accommodative vs defensive response on subsequent consumers’ evaluation of their consumption experience. Upon analyzing the hotels’ responses on Tripadvisor.com, responding can be a double-edged sword in that it works only when seller takes the appropriate responding strategies. In particular, the higher proportion of accommodative responses (defensive responses) for product failure reviews (regular negative reviews), the higher the subsequent consumers’ satisfaction. However, responding can backfire when the proportion of defensive responses (accommodative responses) for product failure (regular negative reviews) is high. To recapitulate, this thesis identifies whether and how online responding influences consumer experiences on social media. These research findings can help firms formulate effective responding strategies to take advantage of social media’s unique ability to engage customers and improve consumer satisfaction and loyalty.

Abstract:Cybercrime refers to any illegal use of technology, a computer, networked device or a network for criminal acts. It constitutes a rapidly evolving and complex phenomenon as the Internet is ruling on almost every sector of human activity. Innovation plays a highly significant role in the growth of an economy. However, every time there is an advancement in the field of technology, there is bound to be other adverse effects. Such is the case with criminology. In this end, the prevalence of cybercrime is alarmingly increasing, and there have been several attempts by the government and other concerned agencies at stemming its escalation (Curtis et al., 2009). The following thesis shows the investigation of the rise of cybercrime in Greece. It is a systematic literature review available on this topic, aiming to explore areas such as the preparedness of the government in the fight against cybercrime, and the consideration that, in so doing, it is obligated to protect the rights of intellectual property as well as the protection of the rights to privacy of its citizens (Gobran, 2015). Of all the categories of information technology-related crimes, cybercrimes are the most common. The thesis also explores the conventions and laws employed by law enforcement in the efforts to counter the activities of cybercrime, including their effectiveness. It also establishes the different sectors and industries with the highest rates of cybercrime activities and the ways in which these sectors are fighting against these activities.
