Completely Randomized Design

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to compare the temperatures in the mass of bulk soybeans ( Glycine max ) in warehouses with isolated vents and vent-combined exhaustion. A completely randomized design was used, with two treatments and ten repetitions. Treatments consisted of warehouse with curved vents and warehouse with curved + static exhaust vents. Each repetition contained the average of all readings in three days in all cables of the warehouse part under study, totaling 10 repetitions per month. The variable analyzed was the temperature in the grain mass in the lower, middle and upper parts of the warehouse from January to May 2012. The environment temperature and humidity were also registered. Static hoods, along with curved vents on the roof of the warehouse showed a tendency to reduce the temperature of the soybean mass with decrease in environmental temperature and increase in relative environmental humidity.

Abstract It is not clear if COVID-19 can be indirectly transmitted. It is not possible to conclude the role of environment in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 without studying areas in which people transit in great amounts, such as market areas. In this work we aimed to better understand the role of environment in the spread of COVID-19. We investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in inanimate objects as well as in the air and in the sewage using RT-qPCR. We studied both, a reference market area and a COVID-19 reference hospital at Barreiras city, Brazil. We collected and analyzed a total of 268 samples from mask fronts, cell phones, paper moneys, card machines, sewage, air and bedding during the ascendant phase of the epidemiological curve of COVID-19 in Barreiras. As a result, we detected the human RNAse P gene in most of samples, which indicates the presence of human cells in specimens. However, we did not detect any trace of SARS-CoV-2 in all samples analyzed. To rule out the possibility of problems in sampling method we tested detection of SARS-CoV-2 by RT-qPCR in laboratory conditions to reproduce environmental temperature and humidity. As a result, we showed detection of the virus in different conditions. We conclude that our sampling method reliable and that, strikingly, the environment and inanimate materials do not have an important role in COVID-19 transmission.

Despite the important role of the thyroid gland in regulating the functions of the body, the gland is quite sensitive to the adverse effects of various factors on the body. The purpose of the work is to analyze modern sources of scientific literature devoted to the study of the influence of exo- and endogenous factors on the morpho-functional properties of the thyroid gland. Literary data on the influence on the thyroid gland of various environmental chemicals, insufficient or excessive consumption of iodine and selenium, vitamin D deficiency, exposure to pharmaceuticals, smoking, environmental temperature, irradiation, infections, stress, as well as factors of the internal environment, such as atherosclerosis and pregnancy. There are a small number of modern scientific studies concerning the influence on the structure and function of the thyroid gland consequences of thermal injury of the skin.
