Multi-Science Journal https://periodicos.ifgoiano.edu.br/multiscience <p>The mission of Multi-Science Journal is to be a fast vehicle for interdisciplinary scientific studies, in particular on <strong>Agricultural, Human, Biological, Health and Environmental Sciences</strong>. Nevertheless, MSJ publishes papers from other areas of knowledge, such as Exact and Earth Sciences, Engineering, Applied Social Sciences, Arts, and others. The editorial board believes that a comprehensive understanding of the phenomena requires an interdisciplinary approach.</p> <p><strong>ISSN: 2359-6902</strong></p> Instituto Federal Goiano - Câmpus Urutaí en-US Multi-Science Journal 2359-6902 <p>Authors who publish in this journal agree to the following terms:</p><p>a) The Authors retain the copyright and grant the journal the right to first publication, with the work simultaneously licensed under the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution License</a> that allows the sharing of the work with acknowledgment of authorship and initial publication in this journal.</p><p>b) Authors are authorized to assume additional contracts separately, for non-exclusive distribution of the version of the work published in this journal (eg, publishing in institutional repository or as a book chapter), with acknowledgment of authorship and initial publication in this journal.</p><p>c) Authors are allowed and encouraged to publish and distribute their work online (eg in institutional repositories or on their personal page) at any point before or during the editorial process, as this can generate productive changes, as well as increase impact and citation of the published work.</p> Between the real and the imagined, Brazilian history and literature in high school https://periodicos.ifgoiano.edu.br/multiscience/article/view/1670 <p>The present work proposes to deepen a discussion about shared teaching between the disciplines of History and Literature, which proposes to discuss the theme “Military Dictatorship” based on the text Sombra de Reis Barbudos by José J. Veiga. It is believed that the chosen text can assist in the understanding of the historical period within the scope of the dialogue that explores the overlap between the “fictional” text and the historicized facts that address the dictatorship in Brazil, especially the repression and the years of lead. The bet is that the teachers of the mentioned disciplines can activate the literary text as a tool articulated with the studies of History, demonstrating that both sciences can speak about a reality from different languages. This work is an invitation to the challenge of bringing closer the disciplines of the humanities in order to establish variations on the same theme.</p> Fernando da Rocha Rodrigues Leonice de Andrade Carvalho Copyright (c) 2025 Fernando da Rocha Rodrigues, Leonice de Andrade Carvalho http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-09-15 2025-09-15 8 1 24 31 10.33837/msj.v8i1.1670 In vitro antischistosomal activity of 2-aroyl-benzofuran derivatives against Schistosoma mansoni https://periodicos.ifgoiano.edu.br/multiscience/article/view/1720 <p>Five 2-aroylbenzofurans were synthesized by condensation between α-bromoacetone and an <em>ortho</em>-hydroxybenzaldehyde or <em>ortho</em>-hydroxy-acetophenone and evaluated for their <em>in vitro</em> antischistomal effects against adult <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> worms. Below 200 µg/mL, none of the tested 2-aroylbenzofurans killed adult <em>S. mansoni</em> worms. On the other hand, at 200 µg/mL all the tested compounds reduced the motor activity of adult <em>S. mansoni</em> worms after treatment for 72 h. At 200 µg/mL, compound <strong>1</strong> was the only one to decrease the motor activity of 67% of the worms after incubation for 24 h. The methyl group at C6 and the nature of the substituent at ring A play important roles in the efficacy of 2-aroylbenzofurans in reducing the worm motor activity.</p> Tatiana Manzini Vieira Herbert Júnior Dias Daiane Albino Santos Lizandra Guidi Magalhães Antônio Eduardo Miller Crotti Copyright (c) 2025 Tatiana Manzini Vieira, Herbert Júnior Dias, Daiane Albino Santos, Lizandra Guidi Magalhães, Antônio Eduardo Miller Crotti http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-04-23 2025-04-23 8 1 10 15 10.33837/msj.v8i1.1720 Roasting optimization of peaberry coffee beans from dry cherry fruits https://periodicos.ifgoiano.edu.br/multiscience/article/view/1729 <p>The roasting process involves the conduction and convection of heat from the roaster to the coffee beans, resulting in changes in the physical characteristics of the beans and in the sensory profile of the beverage. This study aimed to evaluate the conduction of the process by contrasting the changes in physical characteristics with the optimization of sensory parameters. The temperature profiles shown by the beans illustrate the appropriate conduction of the process under study. According to the different curves, differences in moisture, mass loss, bulk density and swelling were observed. The optimal condition for conducting the process, with achieved greater sensory merits, was the more severe roasting condition indicated by the high temperature.</p> Thiago Vasconcelos Pimenta Rosemary Gualberto Fonseca Alvarenga Pereira Jefferson Luiz Gomes Corrêa Copyright (c) 1969 Thiago Vasconcelos Pimenta, Rosemary Gualberto Fonseca Alvarenga Pereira, Jefferson Luiz Gomes Corrêa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-09-08 2025-09-08 8 1 10.33837/msj.v8i1.1729 Evaluation of empirical type I error rates of F and normality tests under different variance and mean conditions in multi-treatment CRDs https://periodicos.ifgoiano.edu.br/multiscience/article/view/1719 <p>Hypothesis tests, such as normality tests, are extensively employed in Agricultural Sciences to evaluate the normality assumption of the F test in the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) when large sample sizes are unavailable. Nonetheless, researchers conducting these tests are exposed to the risk of committing type I or type II errors, with probabilities that are influenced by different experimental conditions. This study assesses the empirical type I error rate of hypothesis tests by considering the equality (inequality) of treatment means, the homogeneity (heterogeneity) of variances, and different numbers of repetitions per treatment. Applying Completely Randomized Designs (CRD), sub-scenarios were simulated for each experimental scenario, with 10,000 iterations performed for each sub-scenario. Response variable values and experimental residuals were generated and subjected to appropriate tests. The results demonstrate that when the assumption of homogeneity of variances is violated, both the F and normality tests (excluding the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) exhibit higher empirical type I error rates. Additionally, for normality tests, these error rates increase with the number of repetitions. Conversely, without such violations, the error rates remain stable and closely approximate the theoretical significance level for all analyzed hypothesis tests.</p> Homero Ribeiro Neto Marciel Lelis Duarte Nerilson Terra Santos Copyright (c) 2025 The author(s) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-04-22 2025-04-22 8 1 1 9 10.33837/msj.v8i1.1719
