A study of the natural acidity of milk in southwest Virginia

Hatcher, Dock A. January 1942 (has links)
Recently interest has been aroused over the topic of acidity of milk in southwest Virginia. Certain manufacturers of skin milk powder have manufactured products, which upon being reconstituted have exceeded the government limits in titratable acidity to be classified as "Extra Grade." This is the highest grade and cannot exceed 0.15 per cent in titratable acidity. Normal milk when freshly drawn, will naturally be slightly acid in reaction. This acidity of milk has been shown by various workers to be due to the presence of natural constituents such as the phosphates, proteins, carbon dioxide, and citrates. Any increase in acidity upon standing is due to the action of fermenting bacteria, changing lactose to lactic acid. It has been proven that normal milk with a high natural acidity is not objectionable in the manufacture of dairy products. However a highly-developed acidity is undesirable and may cause serious economic losses if used to any great extent. It is the opinion of certain dairymen and dairy manufacturers in this locality that due possibly to some natural existing condition in this area (such as soil type), the fresh milk may have a higher natural acidity than milk produced in other sections of the country. Should this be the case, it would seem logical that the standards should be modified so as not to reject that milk exceeding 0.15 percent titratable acidity, if the acidity is entirely natural. The nature of this problem is to attempt to find out if the milk produced in this area has a higher natural acidity than is expected; and if so, what the factors are contributing to it. / Master of Science

Because of the scarcity of related studies in cities of the interior of Brazil, this study aimed to identify the HIV-1 genetic diversity and to evaluate the profile and the prevalence of HIV-1 isolates with mutations in non-antiretroviral (ARV) exposed patients attended at the Specialized Service in STD/AIDS of the Jataí city, southwestern of Goiás state. From January 2015 to January 2016, 57 patients not exposed to ARVs were recruited and whole blood samples were collected. The protease (PR) and about 2/3 of the reverse transcriptase (RT) regions were amplified in 46 samples by "nested"-PCR and sequenced. Resistance mutations to ARVs were determined by Calibrated Population Resistance Tool from Stanford University and HIV-1 subtypes were identified by REGA and phylogenetic inference. In this study, the prevalence of HIV-1 resistant was more frequent among young male population, heterosexual, especially in the reproductive age group and brown race. Among 46 HIV-1 isolates sequenced, 5 had primary resistance mutations to ARVs, giving a prevalence of 10.9%. The mutations were detected both non-nucleoside RT inhibitors-NNRTIs (K103N, E138K/A and V179E) and for PR inhibitors-IP (M46L and T74S). As the K103N mutation confers resistance to high profile ARV composing the first line of treatment (EFV), it was introduced into the second line with IP for this patient. The E138K mutation confers resistance to an ARV not used in Brazil (RPV), allowing the introduction of the first line of treatment with the fixed-dose combination (formulation 3 in 1). Two isolates of HIV-1 were IP resistance mutations (M46L and T74S) but not yet started therapy. In this case, the introduction of the treatment with the formulation 3 to 1 is possible, since the first line has no IP in its formulation. HIV-1 subtype B was the prevalent isolates and three recombinants involving subtypes B and F1 were observed. The subtype C and recombinant forms were first reported in Goiás southwestern region. The moderate prevalence of primary resistance of HIV-1 isolates among patients from southwestern Goiás state and co-circulation of “pure” HIV-1 subtypes and recombinant forms, it is evident the importance of monitoring of newly diagnosed patients to optimize initial therapy, improving clinical management and control of transmission of HIV-1. / A prevalência de isolados do HIV-1 com mutações de resistência aos antirretrovirais deve ser monitorada continuamente nas diferentes regiões geográficas e grupos populacionais brasileiros, visto que o Brasil disponibiliza acesso universal ao tratamento para todas as pessoas vivendo com HIV e aids. Devido à escassez de estudos relacionados em cidades do interior do Brasil, este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar a diversidade genética do HIV-1 e avaliar o perfil e a prevalência de isolados do HIV-1 com mutações, em pacientes não expostos aos antirretrovirais (ARVs) atendidos no Serviço de Atendimento Especializado em DST/aids do município de Jataí, no sudoeste goiano. De janeiro de 2015 a janeiro de 2016, foram recrutados 57 pacientes não expostos aos ARVs e amostras de sangue total foram coletadas. Os genes da protease (PR) e cerca de 2/3 da transcriptase reversa (TR) foram amplificados em 46 amostras pela “nested”-PCR e sequenciados. As mutações de resistência aos ARVs foram determinadas mediante a ferramenta Calibrated Population Resistance Tool da Universidade de Stanford e os subtipos do HIV-1 foram identificados pela análise por REGA e inferência filogenética. Neste estudo, a prevalência da resistência aos antirretrovirais foi mais frequente na população jovem não exposta do sexo masculino, heterossexual, na cor parda, e especialmente nas faixas etárias de 30 a 34 anos, e de 40 a 49 anos de idade. Entre os 46 isolados de HIV-1 sequenciados, 5 apresentaram mutações de resistência primária aos ARVs, conferindo uma prevalência de 10,9%. Foram detectadas mutações tanto para inibidores da TR não nucleosídicos-NNRTI (K103N, E138K/A e V179E) quanto para inibidores da PR-IP (M46L e T74S). Como a mutação K103N confere alto perfil de resistência ao ARV que compõe o esquema de primeira linha de tratamento (EFV), foi introduzida a segunda linha com IP (LPV/r) para este paciente. A mutação E138K confere resistência a um ARV ainda não utilizado no Brasil (RPV), o que permitiu a introdução da primeira linha de tratamento constituída pela dose fixa combinada com TDF+3TC+EFV (formulação 3 em 1). Dois isolados do HIV-1 apresentaram mutações de resistência (M46L e T74S) que conferem resistência ao IP (NFV), mas ainda não iniciaram a terapia. Nesse caso, a introdução do tratamento com a formulação 3 em 1 será possível, já que a primeira linha não tem o IP (NFV) em sua formulação. O subtipo B do HIV-1 foi o prevalente e três isolados recombinantes foram observados, envolvendo os subtipos B e F1. O subtipo C e as formas recombinantes foram relatados pela primeira vez na região do sudoeste goiano. Com a identificação de uma prevalência moderada de isolados de HIV-1 com resistência primária entre pacientes do sudoeste goiano e a co-circulação de subtipos “puros” e mosaicos do HIV-1, fica evidente a importância do monitoramento dos pacientes recém-diagnosticados para a otimização da terapia inicial, melhorando a conduta clínica e o controle da transmissão do HIV-1.

The Jataí city is responsible for diagnostic and treatment of HIV/aids patients from municipalities from Southwest region of Goiás state, and has been among the cities with the highest HIV/AIDS rate detection in the state. The epidemiological profile of the patients infected with HIV from small and medium-sized cities is still unknown, as well as the prevalence of ARV resistance. This study goal to trace the clinical and epidemiological profile of HIV/AIDS patients attended at Jataí city between 2005-2015 and, among patients under ART at the year 2015, the resistance mutations and the HIV-1 subtypes were determined. From 539 HIV/AIDS patients attended at Jataí, most were male, with infection prevalence among the age group of 30-34 and 40-49 years. Among female patients, the infection occurred mainly among 19-24 and 40-49 years. The sexual unprotected exposure category to HIV-1 prevailed, being the heterosexual preference predominant. The majority of patients were symptomatic at the diagnosis, being the weight loss the predominant complaint. The pneumocystosis and toxoplasmosis were the most frequent opportunistic infections related to AIDS. The AIDS was the cause of death in most cases. Regarding patients on ART, there was significant difference between the CD4+ T cell counts median and the viral load median (on admission) and at final (current lab result). The genotyping test for the subtypes identification and ARV resistance mutations was performed among 26 samples of ART patients, wherein 21 samples were amplified. The HIV-1 subtype B prevailed (19/21) and 2/21 classified as F1 subtype. The secondary resistance prevalence was 52.4%. Most isolates with resistance (7/11) had mutations at more than one ARV class and four isolates had mutations for a single class. The most frequent mutation was M184V, followed by K103N and thymidine associated mutations (TAMs-D67N, M41L, L210W and T215Y). The data presented in this study contributes to the HIV-1 diversity mapping and ARV resistance surveillance among patients from the Southwest region of Goiás state and will certainly be useful for local epidemiological surveillance specific actions. / O atual cenário da epidemia da infecção pelo HIV no Brasil inclui a “interiorização”, “heterossexualização” e aumento da emergência de cepas resistentes aos esquemas de terapia antirretroviral (TARV). O município de Jataí é responsável pelo diagnóstico e tratamento dos pacientes portadores de HIV/aids de municípios da regional Sudoeste II de Goiás e já esteve entre as cidades com a maior taxa de detecção de casos de aids do estado. O perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes infectados pelo HIV de municípios de pequeno e médio porte é ainda pouco conhecido, assim como a prevalência de resistência aos ARVs. Este estudo teve como objetivo traçar o perfil clínico e epidemiológico dos pacientes HIV+/aids atendidos em Jataí entre os anos de 2005 a 2015 e, entre os pacientes em TARV no ano de 2015, identificar mutações de resistência aos ARVs e os subtipos do HIV-1. De 539 pacientes HIV+/aids atendidos em Jataí, a maioria era do sexo masculino, com predomínio da infecção na faixa etária de 30 a 34 e 40 a 49 anos. Entre pacientes do sexo feminino, a infecção ocorreu predominantemente entre 19 a 24 e 40 a 49 anos. A categoria da exposição ao HIV-1 sexual sem proteção prevaleceu, sendo dominante a preferência heterossexual. A maioria dos pacientes era sintomático ao diagnóstico, sendo a perda ponderal a queixa predominante. A pneumocistose e a neurotoxoplasmose foram as infecções oportunistas relacionadas à aids mais frequentes e a aids foi a causa básica do óbito na maioria dos casos. Entre os pacientes em TARV houve diferença significante entre as medianas das contagens de células T CD4+ e entre as medianas da quantificação da carga viral inicial (na admissão) e final (atual). O teste de genotipagem para a identificação dos subtipos e resistência aos ARVs foi realizado em 26 amostras de pacientes em TARV, sendo 21 amostras amplificadas. O subtipo B prevaleceu (19/21) e 2/21 foram classificadas como subtipo F1. A prevalência de resistência secundária foi de 52,4%. A maioria dos isolados com resistência (7/11) apresentou mutações a mais de uma classe de ARVs e 4 isolados para uma única classe. A mutação mais frequente foi a M184V, seguida da K103N e de mutações associadas à timidina (TAMs-D67N, M41L, L210W e T215Y). Os dados apresentados neste estudo contribuem para o mapeamento da diversidade do HIV-1 e da vigilância da resistência aos ARVs em pacientes do Sudoeste goiano e, certamente serão úteis para o planejamento de ações específicas de vigilância epidemiológica local.

This condition allowed them to advise and stay advising practices, representations anddiscourses of religion and religiosity. The starting point for the research were research experiences, which allowed the visuality about processuality of religion in the history of the region as well as of religion, manifested by Catholic religious practices, from oldest to most current. Stand out the rituals expressed in the many caves shrines and festivals that take place in places of worship across the region. The first two chapters were constructed to examine the nuances of the processes that historically established Catholicism as a religion in that hegemonic speciality, as well as its role in the reinvention of same after the 1940s - the "backwoods hillbilly" to "Brazilianized agricultural civilization". Thematizes it, in this sense, the political importance assumed by the Church in the communities that formed the region. To account for the action of the Church's power will be based on the analysis of theological and pedagogical discourses of the Church, present in documents such as the pastoral letters, magazine articles and newspapers. In this sense, we seek to understand both the inclusion of the institution on spiritual and political sense. The third phase will seek to realize the permanence and re - updates the practices of religiosity from the analysis of practices of piety and public places of Catholic worship in the region. Thematizes is, in this sense, the memories that circulate in such sites, which allow the flourishing of religious practices such as festivals and pilgrimages. From this research aims is reflect on the subjective and intersubjective dimensions that formed from the relationship between the Church and the faithful as those practicing their religion. To answer these questions launches hand to multiple references and sources, among these ecclesial discourses, witnessed experiments and analysis on the content of religious ritual and devotional practices / O objetivo desse estudo é investigar a historicidade da cultura religiosa católica no sudoeste do Paraná e como tais códigos culturais se tornaram hegemônicos na região. Tal condição os permitiu nortear e permanecer orientando práticas, representações e discursos de religião e religiosidade. O ponto de partida para a pesquisa foram as experiências de pesquisa, as quais permitiram a visualidade acerca da processualidade da religião na história da região bem como a da religiosidade, manifesta por meio das práticas religiosas católicas, das mais antigas até as mais atuais. Destacam-se os rituais expressos nas muitas grutas, santuários e romarias que acontecem em lugares de devoção espalhados pela região. Os dois primeiros capítulos foram construídos para se analisar as nuances dos processos que historicamente estabeleceram o catolicismo enquanto religião hegemônica na referida espacialidade, bem como o seu papel na reinvenção da mesma após a década de 1940 de sertão caboclo a civilização agrícola abrasileirada . Tematiza-se, nesse sentido, a importância política assumida pela Igreja junto às comunidades que se formavam pela região. A abordagem acerca da ação do poder eclesial se dará a partir da análise de discursos teológico-pedagógicos da Igreja, presentes em documentos como as cartas pastorais, artigos de revistas e jornais. Nesse sentido, busca-se perceber tanto a inserção da Instituição no sentido espiritual quanto político. O terceiro momento buscará perceber as permanências e re-atualizações das práticas de religiosidade a partir da análise de práticas de devoção e de lugares públicos de devoção católica presentes na região. Tematiza-se, nesse sentido, as memórias que circulam em tais locais, as quais permitem o aflorar de práticas religiosas como as romarias e as peregrinações. A partir da presente pesquisa visa-se refletir acerca das dimensões subjetivas e intersubjetivas que se constituíram a partir da relação entre a Igreja e os fieis quanto esses praticam a sua religiosidade. Para responder essas questões lança-se mão de múltiplas referências e fontes, dentre essas os discursos eclesiais, as experiências testemunhadas e análises sobre o teor ritual das práticas religiosas e devocionais

Public Market Trade Areas: Local Goods, Farmers, and Community in the U.S. Southwest Region, 1996-2016

Oppenheim, Vicki Ann 05 1900 (has links)
The number of public markets in the United States increased from more than 300 in the 1970s to more than 8,600 by 2016. This increase in markets is related to changes in food production, localism and the local food systems movement, socioeconomic changes, cultural changes, and perceptions of embeddedness. Research on the underlying conditions for the success of public markets is scant in the United States, and especially in the USDA Southwest Region. This study provides analysis of public market locations as compared with non-market locations by drive-time trade areas during a 20-year period, 1996 and 2016, to gain further insights into factors leading to their success. The results from logit regression analyses and simulations of socioeconomic, college-town status, and climate-grid classifications find an increased likelihood of public markets with population, education, college town status, and some climate-grid locations. Median income, surprisingly, has an inverse relationship with public market success. Qualitative data and a literature review point to three types of embeddedness that motivate customers to attend public markets. This study concludes that "local nontradable consumer goods" tied to place are offered at these "nontradable consumption amenities." These amenities are "third places" that promote social interaction and become important places of community, farmer support, and commerce across the Southwest Region.
