The evolution of Brazil's agroindustry in recent years has led to a growing demand for input resources in response to the producers' increasingly professionalized profile. Therefore, a better understanding of this sector's distribution channels, which operate in an increasingly competitive environment, requires companies to seek tools for periodic evaluation, especially in the retail segment, the meeting point of manufacturers and consumers. This article discusses retail auditing, identifying its applicability to the agribusiness marketing channel. The main goal of this study was to draw up a questionnaire for use as a tool to monitor the retail sector. A two-phase exploratory survey was carried out, the first consisting of a literature review and the second a field study. The application of the questionnaire at animal feed retail stores enabled us to detect relevant evaluation factors, receive suggestions and identify difficulties involved in the implementation of this ...

Quality Control for β-Lactam Susceptibility Testing with a Well-Defined Collection of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains in Spain2003 •
Eighteen Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, 16 of them with well-defined β-lactam re sistance mechanisms, were sent to 52 Spanish microbiology laboratories. Interpretative categories for 8 extended-spectrum β-lactams were collected. Participating laboratories used their own routine susceptibility testing procedures (88% automatic systems, 10% disk diffusion, and 2% agar dilution). Control results were established by two independent reference laboratories by applying the NCCLS microdilution method and interpretative criteria. Interpretative discrepancies were observed in 16% of the results (4.4% for cefepime, 3.0% for aztreonam, 2.8% for piperacillin-tazobactam, 1.7% for cefotaxime [CTX] and ceftazidime, 1.1% for ceftriaxone, 0.9% for meropenem, and 0.3% for imipenem). High consistency with reference values (<5% of major plus very major errors) was observed with (i) American Type Culture Collection quality control strains; (ii) strains with low-efficiency mecha...

Cassava grates processing wastes as source of electrical energy2010 •
The study aimed to generate electricity from cassava (Manihot esculenta) extract using an improvised microbial fuel cell (MFC). In the development of the MFC, screening experiment using 8-run Plackett-Burman (PB) technique and optimization procedure following response surface methodology (RSM) were employed. More cassava extract concentration significantly increased the generated voltage and the significance exhibited by salt ratio was inversely proportional to the voltage generated. One of the treatments in the 3×3 factorial experiment reached the maximum voltage of 546 mV. Response surface regression analysis of all the response studied revealed that linear, quadratic, and cross product regression of cassava extract concentration and salt ratio in the salt bridge significantly affected the voltage which further developed a regression model represented as ∆E=106+1318x-4829y-850x2-787xy+18032y2. The canonical analysis of the voltage showed minimum response at the stationary point in...

Dalam berinteraksi manusia sering menggunakan simbol untuk menyampaikan maksud atau perasaannya. Interaksi tersebut disebut Interaksi simbolik. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori interaksionisme Simbolik George Herbert Mead yaitu Mind Self dan Society. Rumusan penelitian (1) bagaimana tokoh menunjukan Mind dalam novel “Demian:die Geschichte von Emil Sinclair Jugend” (2) bagaimana tokoh menemukan Self dalam novel “Demian:die Geschichte von Emil Sinclair Jugend” (3) bagaimana Society dalam novel “Demian:die Geschichte von Emil Sinclair Jugend”. Dalam penelitian, peneliti menemukan proses Mind tokoh Emil Sinclair dengan tokoh lain melalui Gestur,simbol,makna dan tindakan. Mind yang di dapatkan berupa simbol selama interaksi yaitu 14 simbol. Sedangkan Self ada 2 tahap yaitu tahap menemukan jati diri dan tahap diri. Tahap persiapan dalam interaksi Emil Sinclair dengan Franz Kromer dan Max Demian. Tahap bermain dimulai saat Emil Sinclair menjadi seperti Demian dan terus mencari jati dirinya...

A Robot Model of OC-Spectrum Disorders: Design Framework, Implementation, and First Experiments2019 •
Computational psychiatry is increasingly establishing itself as a valuable discipline for understanding human mental disorders. However, robot models and their potential for investigating embodied and contextual aspects of mental health have been, to date, largely unexplored. In this article, we present an initial robot model of obsessive-compulsive (OC) spectrum disorders based on an embodied motivation-based control architecture for decision-making in autonomous robots. The OC family of conditions is chiefly characterized by obsessions (recurrent, invasive thoughts) and/or compulsions (an urge to carry out certain repetitive or ritualized behaviors). The design of our robot model follows and illustrates a general design framework that we have proposed to ground research in robot models of mental disorders and to link it with existing methodologies in psychiatry, notably in the design of animal models. To test and validate our model, we present and discuss initial experiments, resu...
