Abstract Objective: To compare the ways of evaluating arithmetic skills in Brazilian children with ADHD by combining three validated neuropsychological tests and determining whether they are sensitive to the methylphenidate treatment. Methods: Forty-two children (9‒12 years old) participated in the present study: 20 were children with ADHD (DSM-IV) and 22 were age-matched controls. A classification criterion was used for each test separately and one, for their combination to detect the presence of arithmetic difficulties at two time points: baseline (time 1); and when children with ADHD were taking 0.3‒0.5 mg/kg of methylphenidate (time 2). The study also assessed children’s subtraction performance, combining parts of these tests. Results: Separately, the tests were only sensitive to differences between groups without medication. However, by combining the three neuropsychological tests, we observed a difference and detected a reduction in arithmetic difficulties associated with the methylphenidate treatment. The same effects were found in subtraction exercises, which require a borrowing procedure. Conclusions: The present study detected arithmetic difficulties in Brazilian children with ADHD and the effects of methylphenidate. Given this improvement in sensitivity, combining tests could be a promising alternative when working with limited samples.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT: A carcinoid is a rare neoplasm derived from neuroendocrine cells that may arise in the hepatobiliary system. This report described two cases of carcinoid of the gallbladder in dogs, with emphasis on the clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical aspects. Case 1 was a 10-year-old female Shih Tzu, with a history of prostration and occasional episodes of diarrhea and vomiting. Case 2 was a 10-year-old male Cocker Spaniel, with a history of diarrhea and abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasonography suggested a neoplasm of the gallbladder in both cases. The dogs underwent cholecystectomy, and 10% formalin-fixed samples were sent for pathological examination. Histologically, a neoplastic proliferation of neuroendocrine cells was observed in the gallbladder submucosa of both cases. Immunohistochemical labeling for neuroendocrine antibodies, such as synaptophysin, neuron-specific enolase and chromogranin A, confirmed the diagnoses. Carcinoid of the gallbladder is a rare neoplasm in dogs, without specific clinical signs, but should be included in the differential diagnosis of lesions that affect this organ.
Livelihood capitals on income inequality among rural households: evidence from China
Authors: Yang Fan , Jiang Yao , Zeng Weizhong
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT: We used the data of the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey 2014 to examine the effects of livelihood capitals which include natural, material, human, financial, and social capitals on total household income, per capita income, agricultural income, wage income, operational income, and property income inequality among rural households in China. Results showed that different kinds of livelihood capitals have different effects on different types of rural households’ income. Specifically; (1) although, the area of cultivated land reduces agricultural income inequality, it increases per capita income inequality. (2) Forest land area enlarges per capita income inequality and total household income inequality. (3) Tractor variable reduces inequality in agricultural income and total household income. (4) While reducing the property income inequality, education variable enlarges the wage income inequality, the per capita income inequality and the total household income inequality. (5) Book variable reduces property income inequality. (6) Loan variable increases inequality in agricultural incomes. (7) Party variable reduces the agricultural income inequality. (8) Although, the internet variable increases agricultural income inequality, and property income inequality, it reduces wage income inequality, operational income inequality, per capita income, and total household income inequality.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT The cycle pruning programmed is a reinvigoration technique widely employed in Conilon coffee. This strategy may also be adopted for Arabica coffee to increase its crop longevity and yield. In this scenario, the present study proposes to examine the influence of the cycle pruning programmed on the vegetative and productive development of Arabica coffee. The experiment was developed in the field as a randomized-block design with four replicates. Treatments were tested in a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement consisting of four stem densities (4000, 8000, 12000 or 16000 stems ha-1) and two management strategies for the removal of plagiotropic branches (annual or biennial removal of branches which had reached 70% or more of their production capacity). For some variables, the treatments were organized as a 4 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement in which the last factor corresponded to two regions of data collection in the plant (upper or lower). For all factorial arrangements, an additional treatment (control) was employed corresponding to traditional pruning (recepa). Annual or biennial removal of plagiotropic branches which had attained 70% or more of their production capacity can be adopted with no losses to crop yield. The cycle pruning programmed improves the distribution of branches, increases canopy area and prevents the occurrence of the “naked neck” phenomenon, observed in control treatment. Additionally, it provides better agronomic and productive performance; therefore, it can be used as a substitute for recepa.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Around 20% of Brazilian coffee production corresponds to defective beans (PVA), which decreases the quality of the coffee brews. Steam treatment has been reported as an alternative to improve the cup quality of coffee products. This research aimed to study the feasibility of using steamed Robusta PVA beans in instant coffee products. After the steam treatment (2 bar for 3 min), the Robusta PVA was dried, roasted, subjected to extraction in a pilot plant, and freeze-dried. The steamed and untreated Robusta PVA materials (raw, roasted, and instant coffees) and blends of instant Arabica coffee with PVA were characterized. The steamed Robusta PVA instant coffee presented 7.01 g caffeine and 8.74 g total chlorogenic acids in 100 g product. Instant coffee blends with 30% and 50% of steamed Robusta PVA in Arabica coffee were studied. A sensory difference between blends with steamed and untreated Robusta PVA was only perceived by the addition of 50% PVA. The blend with 50% of steamed coffee was preferred and well accepted (average grade of 7.9 on a 10-scale). The use of steamed Robusta PVA coffee (under mild steam treatment conditions, 2 bar/3 min) in instant coffee was viable, and it was obtained an instant coffee to be used in a blend with 50% of Arabica coffee with a good profile of bioactive compounds and sensory acceptance.
The influence of internal and external rewards on people’s behavior regarding tax evasion practices in Brazil
Authors: Pereira Ivone Vieira , Silva César Augusto Tibúrcio
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT This research aimed to identify the factors that influence people’s behavior with regard to tax evasion practices in Brazil based on an analysis of the internal and external rewards. The study analyzes internal and external rewards as a determining factor of tax evasion, unlike other studies that have focused on analyzing economic and social factors. The topic is addressed from a contemporary perspective, based on a behavioral analysis of economic and social factors. The paper contributes with its conceptual refinement and assumptions that may strengthen the foundations for studying the factors that influence tax evasion. The data collection was carried out by means of a quasi-experiment followed by the application of a questionnaire, in the period from November of 2016 to September of 2017, in loco, with 800 data collection instruments in all the geographic regions of the country, 598 of which were validated. Measures were adopted to ensure the content, criteria, and construct validities. The reliability test resulted in a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.63 and the composite reliability was higher than 0.60. The data were analyzed based on descriptive statistics and using the binary logistic regression model. The results of this research illustrate, by means of the logistic regression analysis using a univariate approach, that external rewards - punishment - and internal rewards - self-concept, social norms, fiscal transparency, and cost of compliance - influence people’s dishonest behavior with regards to tax evasion practices in the sample studied. The study analyzes tax evasion based on an interdisciplinary approach, cooperating with the public administration in determining actions that can discourage evasion, by implementing strategies that include behavioral factors relating to the taxpayer.

Published: March 2020

Abstract We studied the extraction of antioxidant phenolic compounds, anthocyanins and the evaluation of antioxidant activity of strawberries in different extraction conditions, varying the type of solvent (ethanol:water (50%) and acetone:water (60%), the extraction time (15 and 60 min) and the solvent volume to sample mass ratio (5 mL/g and 20 mL/g). In addition, we performed principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The results showed that, although the two solvents tested had similar influence on total phenolic compounds extraction and antioxidant activity, the 60 minutes of extraction and the use of the solvent volume/sample mass ratio of 20 mL/g were the best extraction conditions, both for the 1st and 2nd recovered extracts. However, the solvent had a marked effect on anthocyanins’ extraction, so that acetone/water extracted almost the double as compared to ethanol/water, for the same extraction conditions. Finally, factor analysis allowed identifying a grouping structure of two components, which was confirmed by the dendogram obtained from cluster analysis.

Verdades em (des)construção: uma análise sobre as práticas integrativas e complementares em saúde
Authors: Silveira Roberta de Pinho , Rocha Cristianne Maria Famer
Published: March 2020

Resumo Neste artigo, buscamos conhecer como foram se constituindo alguns dos regimes de verdade sobre as práticas integrativas e complementares em saúde (Pics) nas políticas públicas de saúde, especialmente na Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PNPIC), com a inclusão de saberes e práticas não convencionais no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa inspirada no método genealógico de Michel Foucault, as Pics são analisadas como uma invenção, uma fabricação que teve sua emergência na PNPIC. Dessa forma, este estudo possibilita refletir sobre alguns dos regimes de verdade que constituem as Pics, em suas convergências com os discursos e as práticas da promoção da saúde, na vertente que responsabiliza os estilos de vida nos processos de saúde e doença. Ao mesmo tempo, tais discursos, por meio do dispositivo do risco, direcionam as condutas dos indivíduos e da população, produzindo corpos e subjetividades controlados pelas políticas neoliberais.
Ensinar história [entre]laçando futuros

Published: March 2020

RESUMO O artigo analisa escritos em disciplinas de introdução à prática e estágio em um curso de licenciatura em história, em uma problematização do tempo e da temporalidade. Parte da premissa de que as questões urgentes do presente são condutoras da aprendizagem em história. Tal estratégia, decorrente da produção de planejamentos e de diários dos licenciandos, sustenta-se no tempo futuro como abertura ética da aula de história em sua relação com o mundo. Nesse sentido, foi fundamental o pensamento de Pagès como possibilidade para o planejamento de aulas de história, pautadas nas urgências do presente e de um passado que não passa e que, por isso mesmo, insiste e subsiste na forma de um acontecimento que distribui seus efeitos em um tempo não cronológico e não estabilizado.

Published: March 2020

RESUMEN El artículo presenta un estudio exploratorio sobre resultados en la prueba de evaluación del Sistema de Medición de la Calidad de la Educación en comprensión lectora, durante los años 2011 al 2015, en La Araucanía, Chile. Metodológicamente, se describen los resultados obtenidos por una muestra de 22 escuelas emplazadas en comunidades Mapuches. Los resultados dan cuenta que las escuelas municipales rurales, obtienen mejores resultados respecto a las escuelas particulares subvencionadas con una diferencia de 8 a 10 puntos. Esto es relevante, porque en comunidades Mapuches existe una supremacía de escuelas particulares subvencionadas, que sistemáticamente obtienen bajos puntajes, lo que continuaría perpetuando las desigualdades sociales y educativas en el territorio entre Mapuches y no Mapuches.

Authors: Almeida Marta Mateus de
Published: March 2020

RESUMO O texto apresenta os resultados de um estudo em que se procurou perceber que práticas de desenvolvimento profissional são reconhecidas por docentes do ensino superior, em particular para a dimensão do ensino. Visou-se ainda compreender como esses atores percecionam a formação pedagógica. Inscrevendo-se em uma abordagem mista, com recurso à técnica de entrevista e de questionário, auscultaram-se académicos afiliados a três escolas superiores de educação da região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo. Os resultados revelam uma tendência para processos de aprendizagem de cariz artesanal, sendo valorizado o autoestudo e a socialização. No entanto, verifica-se um reconhecimento da relevância da formação pedagógica, em especial para quem não detém formação qualificante para outros níveis de ensino, surgindo como crença perfilhada a ideia de que as aprendizagens pedagógicas adquiridas para outros contextos de educação e ensino podem ser transferidas para a atuação docente no nível do ensino superior.
Out-of-plane stability of fixed concrete-filled steel tubular arches under uniformly distributed loads
Authors: Yuan Changchun , Hu Qing , Wang Yuyin , Liu Changyong
Published: March 2020

In recent years, concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arches have been widely used and the out-of-plane buckling of CFST arches has become a major concern. So far, few studies have investigated the out-of-plane behaviours of CFST arches, and no codes have given the design formula of the out-of-plane stability bearing capacity. Therefore, in this paper fixed CFST parabolic arches with a circular cross-section under uniformly distributed loads are investigated. Considering the effect of material and geometric non-linearity, the distributions of the internal forces and deformations are observed, and on this basis an equivalent column model is established to derive the out-of-plane effective length coefficient. In addition, based on the stability theory, the nominalised slenderness ratio of CFST arches is modified considering the influence of rise-to-span ratios and can be substituted into any available stability coefficient equations in current design codes to calculate the out-of-plane bearing capacity of CFST parabolic arches. The proposed equation – which has a form of formula similar to the available stability equations in existing designing codes for CFST or steel members and which has an accuracy equal to or greater than the equations in the available literature – would be easier for the designers to accept and use.

Published: March 2020

A mostly automated protocol for extraction of genomic DNA from seawater filtered onto a Sterivex filter (Cat. No. SVGP0150). Reagents come from the Macherey-Nagel NucleoMag Plant Kit for DNA purfication (Cat. No. 744400). Automated liquid handling is performed on an eppendorf EpMotion 5075t with multi-channel pipettes. This protocol assumes that the Sterivex is sealed with tube sealant on the male end and a male-luer lock plug on the female end. Using this protocol, we routinely extract ~80 samples at a time. The protocol has been modified to increase to an 800 µL starting volume. This normally results in less Lysis Buffer MC1 and Binding Buffer MC2 than is needed. Extra binding buffer should be purchased separately. The kit manual can be found here: https://www.mn-net.com/media/pdf/09/46/a0/Instruction-NucleoMag-Plant.pdf Additional notes from the manufacturer on using the kit with the epMotion can be found here: https://www.mn-net.com/media/pdf/95/2c/ef/AN-NucleoMag-Plant-epMotion5075.pdf .

Feminismos y traducción: apuntes conceptuales y metodológicos para una traductología feminista transnacional
Authors: Castro Olga , Spoturno María Laura
Published: March 2020

Este artículo propone un marco metodológico amplio para la formulación de una traductología feminista transnacional desde una posición situada y, por ende, necesariamente limitada. Con este fin, enmarcamos nuestra indagación en la era de los feminismos transnacionales y, asimismo, ponemos en relación los feminismos transnacionales y la traductología feminista. Tras ofrecer un estado de la cuestión sobre la trayectoria de las perspectivas feministas de/sobre la traducción más influyentes en nuestro contexto para esclarecer sus principios articuladores a lo largo del tiempo, valoramos qué espacio existe en ellas en la actualidad, para albergar nuevos debates en boga en los feminismos transnacionales. Especificamos el sentido de la interseccionalidad, clave para explicar cómo distintos regímenes de opresión interactúan en un mundo marcado por la globalización y los valores neoliberales, destacando el papel (ético) fundamental de la traducción para facilitar (o entorpecer) alianzas transfronterizas que desafíen las hegemonías imperantes. Reconocemos así, en nuestra propuesta de una traductología feminista, las aportaciones de formulaciones feministas realizadas en espacios académicos, centrándonos principalmente en los latinoamericanos, ibéricos y norteamericanos. Seguidamente, analizamos los retos y oportunidades que plantea aplicar la perspectiva de los feminismos transnacionales a la traductología e indicamos áreas de común interés ya desarrolladas. Nuestra definición de una traductología feminista transnacional se complementa con una reflexión sobre posibles intervenciones que, desde este marco epistemológico, buscan influir, tener un impacto y transformar la práctica y la investigación en materia de traducción.

EVOLUTION OF THE EASTERN PARTNERSHIP REGARDING ASSOCIATED COUNTRIES
Authors: Berezovska I.
Published: March 2020

The entry into force of the Association Agreements concluded by the European Union with Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine has become a key moment in the Eastern Partnership evolution resulting in the widened gap between the partnership countries. The article emphasizes that these agreements created the legal basis for enhancing the EU law impact on the associated countries resulting in the Europeanisation of the legislation of the latter. It notes that due to implementation of these agreements the associated countries have already started large-scale internal reforms.
The article shows that against the apparent success in the implementation by the EaP associated countries there emerge initiatives to implement a separate advanced format of EU cooperation with the associated countries – the Eastern Partnership Plus.
The completion in 2020 of the implementation period of the Eastern Partnership's main working document 20 Priorities for 2020 together with the perspective of holding of the next sixth summit of all partnership countries give a chance to renew the partnership based on the more for more principle and to develop new mechanisms of work that can meet the associated countries’ intentions to deepen the EU integration.
The article points out that the announcement by the European Union of broad strategic consultations on the updates of the Eastern Partnership is a positive element that should be used by the associated countries to convince the EU of the need for a new strategy that will complement the Eastern Partnership and make it more focused on the integration objectives of the three countries.
It gives arguments that Association Agreements updating efforts may be an efficient way to make such aspirations come true, analyses the grounds and directions for such update.
The article underlines that the associated countries need to use the time remaining to deciding on the further evolution of the EaP for the definite implementation of the current operation programme and demonstration of significant progress in the Association Agreements implementation.
CLIMATE COMMUNICATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND SUB-NATIONAL SUBJECTS AS ACTORS OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE SETTLEMENT
Authors: О. V. Shevchenko О. V. Shevchenko
Published: March 2020

Resolving the issue of global climate change addresses a number of vital issues, including the identification of participants and the scope of their competences and areas of responsibility. One of the most influential actors are international organizations, in particular the UN and its special structures, programs and projects, whose activities are aimed at tackling global climate change, adaptation and mitigation of the effects of climate change. Such specialized entities include the United Nations Environment Program, the World Climate Research Program, the Global Climate Observing System, the Global Ocean Observing System, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It is emphasized that the application of effective communication tools is an important element in the success of these global climate change response structures. It is shown that in the practice of UN specialized agencies such communication tools as evaluation, special and technical reports, summaries, newsletters, methodological guides, video materials are used; annual conferences, thematic seminars, special information events, etc. are held. In major cases, all information is available to the public in the Internet, as well as in print materials. The author explains the importance of subnational actors, such as cities and regions, in reducing emissions and meeting climate targets that successfully implement regional climate initiatives, which later on serve as a platform for demonstrating, testing and disseminating new, cutting-edge climate challenges. The article demonstrates that the information factor in the work of international organizations and subnational actors contributes to the raising awareness among the world community and improving the understanding of the causes and effects of climate change, as well as how countries and communities adapt to the future effects of climate change.

The article analyzes the functions of the Border Guard Service of Ukraine and its information systems. It is determined that the modernization of the components of the integrated information system causes a violation of the existing system of cyber defense. The analysis of existing approaches to ensuring the protection of information in information systems has shown a sufficiently deep study of research separately for each information system. However, unexperienced features of the interaction of these systems remain, in particular, with the modernization of certain information systems in terms of providing cyber defense in general. The process of modernization of information systems is carried out according to individual components of the system or complex and requires their coordination in the process of joint operation. The article gives the justification of modernization strategies according to the groups of criteria: the level of cyber security, the peculiarities of the functioning of information systems. It is noted that the value of the probability of violating the properties of the information resource varies over the entire period of modernization. Therefore, to choose the strategy of modernization at the value of probability at any time is not correct. It is necessary to take into account the general tendency of the function of changing this probability. The most expedient is the distribution of this group of criteria into three components of the criteria for the level of cyber security: the normative - the criterion in which the current value of the probability of violating cybersecurity does not exceed the given; average - the criterion for which the average probability of a violation of cybersecurity does not exceed the prescribed; weighted - a criterion for which the average weighted probability of cybersecurity violation will not exceed the given. The article presents functional dependencies for determining the probability of cyber security violations for each of the groups. As a result of the study, it was determined that the priority indicator of the effectiveness of the process of modernizing the information systems of the border agency is the maximum value of the probability of violating the properties of information in the process of modernization.

AbstractAnterior open bite affects the child population by approximately 20%, with great aesthetic-functional impairment due to dental-skeletal changes, which may involve the presence of posterior crossbite. The objective was to present the anterior open bite correction associated with posterior crossbite with the use of a removable palatal crib. Patient during the mixed dentition phase presented an anterior open bite caused by a pacifier sucking habit and secondary lingual interposition. The treatment protocol consisted of the use of removable expander with palatal crib and nocturnal use of the chincup. The anterior open bite was corrected, and the best transverse relation of the arches was obtained. The precocious treatment using the palatal crib associated to the chincup allows to achieve favorable results in the resolution of the anterior open bite. Keywords: Open Bite. Malocclusion.

Background: Second-trimester abortion is an important component of the comprehensive women’s health care. Data’s regarding second-trimester abortion is still under-reporting. Though the percentage of induced second-trimester abortion is low, its morbidity is higher than the first-trimester induced abortion. The abortion related mortality usually increases with the age of gestation.Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, over a period of one year. The data were collected from the medical case records and we have analyzed on the epidemiology, etiologies, complications and the methods of second- trimester abortion using statistical analysis.Results: In this study, there was no standard regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol were used for second-trimester abortion.  The dosages were varied based on the gestational age of pregnancy. As the gestational age progresses, the amount of misoprostol required for the induction of second trimester abortion decreases and the difference is statistically significant. There was no reported case of rupture uterus, but varied complications such as post-abortal hemorrhage, retained placenta, need for blood transfusion, uterine perforation and one maternal death were reported during the study period.Conclusions: In order to reduce the morbidity and mortality of second trimester abortion, more policies and monitored services have to be rendered by the health system. Data regarding the second trimester abortion have to be improved.
