This study investigated the ability of the Brazilian Caffeine Expectancy Questionnaire (CaffEQ-BR), full and brief versions, to differentiate genetic profiles regarding the polymorphisms of the CYP1A2 (rs 762551) and ADORA2A (rs 5751876) genes in a cohort of Brazilian athletes. Onehundred and fifty participants were genotyped for CYP1A2 and ADORA2A. After the recruitment and selection phase, 71 (90% male and 10% female, regular caffeine consumers) completed the CaffEQ-BR questionnaires and a self-report online questionnaire concerning sociodemographic data, general health status, and frequency of caffeine consumption. The order of completion of the CaffEQBR questionnaires was counterbalanced. The concordance between the full and brief versions of the CaffEQ-BR was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). To determine the discriminatory capacity of the questionnaires for genotype, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied for sensitivity and specificity (significance level of 5%). Mean caffeine intake was 244 161 mg day1. The frequency of AA genotypes for CYP1A2 was 47.9% (n = 34) and 52.1% (n = 37) for C-allele carriers (AC and CC). The frequencies of TT genotypes for ADORA2A were 22.7% (n = 15) and 77.3% (n = 51) for C-allele carriers (TC and CC). All CaffEQ-BR factors, for the full and brief versions, were ICCs > 0.75, except for factor 6 (anxiety/negative effects; ICC = 0.60), and presented ROC curve values from 0.464 to 0.624 and 0.443 to 0.575 for CYP1A2 and ADORA2A. Overall, the CaffEQ-BR (full and brief versions) did not show discriminatory capacity for CYP1A2 and ADORA2A gene polymorphisms. In conclusion, the CaffEQ-BR was not able to differentiate genotypes for the CYP1A2 or ADORA2A genes in this group of Brazilian athletes.

Cultural adequacy has been largely neglected in urban food environment research. In times of urban multiculturalism, this is an obvious shortcoming. To address questions of cultural adequacy, urban food environment research needs to broaden its theoretical scope. The conventional approach to food environments as constituted through the presence or absence of specific foods in particular neighborhoods is especially insufficient. This argument is illustrated by empirical case studies examining halal food environments in Brasília (Brazil) and Frankfurt am Main (Germany). Drawing on assemblage thinking, we show that urban halal food environments in Muslim minority contexts are not determined by the mere presence or absence of halal foods but depend on how halal is understood. Furthermore, these environments are outcomes of complex assembling and dis/reassembling practices, including the crucial role of the invisibilization of halal foods. Invisibilization, in turn, is driven by market logics, entrepreneurial fear of cultural prejudices, and food regulations that disregard Muslims’ needs. Invisibilization is therefore likely to disassemble halal food environments in numerous other Muslim minority contexts. Findings imply that assemblage thinking helps unpack the complex societal relations that bring about culturally (in)adequate food environments, so food environment research would benefit from taking it on board.

The objective of this study was to use ERICA data from adolescents from Brazilian public schools to investigate the role of school feeding in insulin resistance markers. Public school students (12–17 years old) with available biochemical examinations were selected. Adolescents answered a self‐administered questionnaire, and contextual characteristics were obtained through interviews with principals. A multilevel mixed‐effects generalized linear model was performed at the contextual and individual levels with each insulin resistance marker (fasting insulin, HOMA‐IR, and blood glucose levels). A total of 27,990 adolescents were evaluated (50.2% female). The prevalence of (1) altered insulin was 12.2% (95% CI; 11.1, 13.5), (2) high HOMA‐IR was 24.7% (95% CI; 22.8, 26.7), and (3) high blood glucose was 4.6% (95% CI; 3.8, 5.4). School feeding was positively associated with an insulin resistance marker, decreasing by 0.135 units of HOMA‐IR (95% CI; −0.19, −0.08), 0.469 μU/L of insulin levels (95% CI; −0.66, −0.28), and 0.634 mg/dL of blood glucose (95% CI; −0.87, −0.39). In turn, buying food increased blood glucose by 0.455 mg/dL (95% CI; 0.16, 0.75). School feeding was positively associated with insulin resistance variables, demonstrating the potential of planned meals in the school environment to serve as a health promoter for the adolescent population.

O artigo analisa a dinâmica das importações na agroindústria e na produção de insumos agropecuários, no período 2010-2018, com dados de matrizes insumo-produto da economia brasileira. Ao todo, foram avaliadas 12 atividades econômicas que compõe a agroindústria e 5 dos insumos, identificadas pelos respectivos códigos com 4 dígitos na classificação nacional de atividades econômicas (CNAE). Os objetivos específicos do artigo consistiram em avaliar o comportamento das importações em termos absolutos e em relação ao valor bruto da produção. Para isso, foi estimado o coeficiente de penetração das importações nos setores do agronegócio (CPIMPjagro). Os resultados do artigo indicam uma trajetória de crescimento das importações, tanto na agroindústria como na produção de insumos. Porém, os valores encontrados para o CPIMPjagro apontam para a estabilidade da relação entre importações e valor bruto da produção nos setores do agronegócio.

The genus Cerradoa (type species Cerradoa palmaea) was established in 1978 by Hennen and Ono and named after the Brazilian Cerrado biome. The holotype collected in Planaltina, Federal District, Brazil, belonged to the first rust fungus reported on palms (Arecaceae). For decades, the status of Cerradoa as a distinct genus has been regarded as doubtful, representing a synonym of Edythea (Uropyxidaceae) starting with the second edition of the Illustrated Genera of Rust Fungi in 1983. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses, as well as our morphological investigations, allowed us to reject this synonymy, leading to the reinstatement of Cerradoa within the Pucciniaceae. Cerradoa, together with morphologically similar genera such as the newly established Pseudocerradoa with two species (Ps. paullula and Ps. rhaphidophorae) infecting araceous hosts, the fern rust Desmella, and also P. engleriana, could not be assigned to any of the seven identified major lineages within the Pucciniaceae. Edythea, instead of being maintained as a member of the Uropyxidaceae, was herein placed in Pucciniaceae, shown hylogenetically in close relationship to Cumminsiella mirabilissima, both infecting the Berberidaceae. Additionally, our extensive phylogenetic analyses add guidance for future taxonomic revisions in the highly polyphyletic genus Puccinia and other established taxa within the family Pucciniaceae.
