Authors: Silva Filho Marcelo Nicomedes , Pinto Danielle Carvalho , Caldas Delcimara Batista
Published: June 2019

A alfabetização é um dos grandes desafios do século XXI. Assim, professores, conscientes de seu papel no processo de alfabetizar, buscam realizar ações pedagógicas que enfoquem o desenvolvimento e a construção da linguagem a partir de atividades que possibilitem a leitura e a escrita em dimensões reais, naturais, significativas e vivenciadas. Na tentativa de atingir tal propósito e cientes de que é inegável o papel dacultura popular na vida de todo ser humano, elaborou-se o projeto Auto do Bumba-Boi cujas atividades realizadas com as histórias de Catirina e de Pai Francisco, personagensdo auto, visavam alfabetizar alunos da III Etapa do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública de São Luís do Maranhão, usando as manifestações culturais da região a que eles pertencem. Vale ressaltar que o bumba-meu-boi, dança escolhida como eixo da pesquisa, é uma das lendas mais conhecidas do folclore brasileiro. Com origem datada do século XVIII, ele está presente em diversos estados com diferentes nomes: Boi-Bumbá, Boi de Reis, Reisado cearense e Boi de Mamão.

Published: June 2019

Main conclusion The molecular mechanism of the interaction between cotton and cotton aphids remains unclear currently. The RNA-Seq study of cotton leaves was performed in response to cotton aphid damage at different time points. The transcriptome analysis revealed that a lot of cotton gene transcripts were regulated by cotton aphid damage.

Cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii Glover) are regarded as one of the most harmful insect pests for cotton production. They are usually capable of causing severe yield loss through sucking cotton liquids, secreting honeydews and transmitting plant viral diseases. However, the molecular mechanism of the interaction between cotton and cotton aphids remains unclear currently. Therefore, the RNA-Seq study of cotton leaves was performed in response to cotton aphid damage at different time points (0 h,6 h,12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h). A total of 9, 103 new genes were identified, and 7, 510 of them were annotated functionally. Based on the comparison results, the gene expression was analyzed according to the expression amount of genes in different samples. 24,793 differentially expressed genes were authenticate in all and their functional annotation and enrichment analysis were conducted. Compared with 0 h (without aphid damage, CK), the amount of down-regulated DEGs was largely more than that of the up-regulated genes at different time points under cotton aphid attack except for 48h. As revealed by the functional annotation of DEGs, these genes were involved in all kinds of plant biological process, including various resistance to abiotic and biotic stress, hormone metabolism, signaling transduction and transcriptional regulation. These results established a firm foundation for the study of the molecular mechanism of the interaction between cotton and cotton aphids and would facilitate the development of plant aphid resistant cultivars.
Using poster presentation to assess large classes: A case study for first year undergraduate module in a South African University
Authors: Ross Andrew , Dlungwane Thembelihle , Wyk Jacqueline Van
Published: June 2019

Background
The massification of higher education is often associated with poor student engagement, poor development of their critical thinking, inadequate feedback and poor student throughput. Novel and innovative methods of teaching, assessing and giving feedback to large groups of learners therefore need to be developed to counter the challenges posed by the large class learning environment. The aim of this study was to obtain the perceptions of 1st year medical students and staff at the Nelson Mandela School of Medicine regarding the value of the posters as a teaching, assessment and feedback strategy.

Methods
This observational, descriptive cross sectional study explored student and staff perceptions of using posters to manage the assessment and feedback of 1st year students’ work. A student and staff questionnaire using a five point Likert scale was used from which the data were extracted into Excel spreadsheet and analysed.

Results
230 questionnaires were completed giving a 92% return (230/250). Most students reported that the poster presentations helped them select important material (92%), understand disadvantage (86%) and make a difference in the community (92%). The majority felt that posters where an efficient (81%) and fair method (75%) of assessment and provided opportunity for meaningful feedback.

Discussion and conclusions
Posters have been shown to promote learning and active engagement, and the development of higher order thinking, skills and transformative learning, as students were able to illustrate how they made a difference in the Making a Difference community to which they had been allocated. Poster presentations also allowed for quick and efficient marking, immediate feedback and validation of student participation. Poster presentations should be more widely considered as an innovative way of encouraging deeper engagement and learning in a large class setting.
Summary

Authors: Dwivedi Nehanjali , Dhar Sujan K , Charitha G , Kuriakose Moni Abraham , Suresh Amritha , Das Manjula
Published: June 2019

Background

Quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) remains by far the most cost-effective, fast yet sensitive technique to check the gene expression levels in various systems. The traditionally used reference genes over the years were found to be regulated heavily based on sample sources and/or experimental conditions. This paper therefore presents a data science driven -omic approach for selection of reference genes from ~60,000 candidates from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Broad Institute Cancer Cell Line Encyclopaedia (CCLE) for gene expression studies in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). mRNA-sequencing data of 500 patient samples and 33 cell lines from publicly available databases were analysed to assess stability of genes in terms of multiple statistical measures. A final set of 12 candidate genes were studied in the Indian set of data in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and validated experimentally using qPCR in 35 different types of samples from platforms like drug sensitive and resistant cell lines, normal and tumor samples, fibroblast and epithelial primary culture derived from HNSCC patients from India.

Result

The study lead to the choice of five most stable reference genes –TYW5, RIC8B, PLEKHA3, CEP57L1 and GPR89B across three experimental platforms.

Conclusion

In addition to providing a set of five most stable reference genes for future gene expression analysis experiments across different types of samples in HNSCC, the study also presents an objective framework for assessing reference genes for other disease areas as well.
A novel gene rearrangement in the mitochondrial genome of Coenobita brevimanus (Anomura: Coenobitidae) and phylogenetic implications for Anomura

Published: June 2019

Background:
Gene arrangement in vertebrate mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) is relatively conserved and fewer gene arrangement is discovered. In contrast, that in invertebrate mitogenomes is relatively common. Although a gradually growing number of gene rearrangement in hermit crabs (Paguridae) has been discovered, it is surprising that gene rearrangement in its close relatives, the terrestrial hermit crab (Coenobitidae), was overlooked until 2018. So far, only few studies focused on the phylogenetic studies of Anomura based on molecular evidences.
Results:
In the present study, the complete mitogenome of a terrestrial hermit crab, Coenobita brevimanus, was sequenced, and large-scale gene rearrangements were observed. The genomic features of this terrestrial hermit crab were different from those of any other studied crabs. Five gene clusters (or genes) including eleven tRNAs and two PCGs were found to be rearranged with respect to the pancrustacean ground pattern gene order, which was characterized by multiple translocations and inversions. Two phylogenetic trees (ML and BI tree) arrived at a similar topology based on the nucleotide sequences of the 13 concatenated PCGs.
Conclusions:
We propose tandem duplication-random loss and recombination model to explain the large-scale gene rearrangements in C. brevimanus mitogenome. The phylogenetic trees showed that all Coenobitidae species clustered into one clade. The polyphyly of Paguroidea was well supported, whereas the non-monophyly of Galatheoidea was not in consistence with previous findings. The phylogenetic relationships of Pylochelidae, Lomidae, and Albuneidae were controversial.

Published: June 2019

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) affects a large number of post-surgery patients, especially for the elderly. However, the etiology of this neurocognitive disorder is largely unknown. Even if several studies have reported a small number of miRNAs as the essential modulatory factors in POCD, these findings are still rather limited. In this study, we used two miRNA microarray datasets to perform differential expression analyses of miRNAs in the hippocampus of POCD model mice. We found that nine miRNAs showed significant associations with POCD in both datasets. Among these miRNAs, mmu-miR-190a-3p was the most significant one. By performing weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we found 25 co-expression modules, of which mmu-miR-190a-3p was significantly anti-correlated with the red module. Moreover, in this red module, 314 genes were significantly enriched in four pathways such as axon guidance and calcium signaling pathway, which are well-documented to be associated with psychiatric disorders and brain development. Also, 169 of the 314 genes were highly correlated with mmu-miR-190a-3p, and four genes (Sphkap, Arhgef25, Tiam1, and Ntrk3) had putative binding sites at 3'-UTR of mmu-miR-190a-3p. Based on protein-protein network analysis, we detected that Tiam1 was a central gene regulated by the mmu-miR-190a-3p. Taken together, we conclude that mmu-miR-190a-3p is involved in the etiology of POCD and may serve as a novel predictive indicator for POCD.

Background

This study was conducted to evaluate and update the current prevalence of and risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in a China.

Methods

A total of 5231 participants were randomly recruited for this study. CKD and DKD were defined according to the combination of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), presence of albuminuria and diabetes. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing lifestyle and relevant medical history, and blood and urinary specimens were taken. Serum creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein and urinary albumin were assessed. The age- and gender-adjusted prevalences of CKD and DKD were calculated, and risk factors associated with the presence of reduced eGFR, albuminuria, DKD, severity of albuminuria and progression of reduce renal function were analyzed by binary and ordinal logistic regression.

Results

The overall adjusted prevalence of CKD was 16.8% (15.8 – 17.8%) and that of DKD was 3.5% (3.0 – 4.0%). Decreased renal function was detected in 132 participants [2.9%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.5 – 3.2%], whereas albuminuria was found in 858 participants (14.9%, 95% CI: 13.9 – 15.9%). In all participants with diabetes, the prevalence of reduced eGFR was 6.3% (95% CI = 3.9 – 8.6%) and that of albuminuria was 45.3% (95% CI = 40.4 – 50.1%). The overall prevalence of CKD in participants with diabetes was 48.0% (95% CI = 43.1 – 52.9%). The results of the binary and ordinal logistic regression indicated that factors independently associated with higher risk of reduced eGFR and albuminuria were older age, gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, overweight, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia.

Conclusions

Our study shows the current prevalences of CKD and DKD in residents of Central China. The high prevalence suggests an urgent need to implement interventions to relieve the high burden of CKD and DKD in China.
Cycling as Transportation: Sociocultural Meanings from a Gender Perspective in Bogota, Colombia
Authors: Suárez María Viviana Caballero , González-Uribe Catalina
Published: June 2019

Physical inactivity is a risk factor for chronic diseases and ischemic cardiomyopathy, which is the leading cause of death in Bogota, Colombia. Cycling is a sustainable strategy to increase levels of physical activity, especially for college students; however, fewer women than men engage in this activity due to gender roles, creating an avoidable inequity. The aim of this study was to understand the socio-cultural significance perceived by a group of medical students in women’s use of bicycles as a mode of transportation in Bogotá. Qualitative research based on grounded theory was conducted. Sixteen students participated in three focus groups and four interviews from February to April 2018. We found that the meaning of the cycling experience resulted from identity construction. The cycling experience involved both sociodemographic conditions and a transitional gender model with competing notions from a traditional and a contemporary model. The traditional view on bicycling emphasised the insecurity of women based on underestimation of their capacities. This model generated perceived vulnerability and affected undermined women’s self-efficacy. In the contemporary model, bicycle use facilitated well-being and served as an efficient means to commute. To increase female students’ participation in urban cycling, it is essential to encourage the construction of self-efficacy. It is also necessary to improve safety in public spaces and facilitate bicycles’ convenience of use. This actions could support sustainable transportation, gender equity and reduction of health risks related to physical inactivity.

Authors: Alemayehu Daniel , Tadesse Meseret , Athick Mohammed Abdul
Published: June 2019

Topographic Position Index (TPI) algorithm is useful for landform classification using Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to identify upper, middle and lower parts of the landscape. Topographic slope positions and landform classifications can be automated and measured by employing the Jenness algorithm based on the Set of Rules in the TPI. Adama Wereda in Ethiopia has been selected to study the different landforms classified using DEM (30m resolution) and Landsat 8 OLI data. Spatial statistics and GIS applications were also used to distinguish the geomorphologic properties of DEM. Adama Wereda encompasses 2.15% of the valley, 33.79% of flat lands, 15.85 % of lower slope, 33.07% of average slope, 12.85% of upper slope and 2.24% of ridges. Nine land use and land cover (LULC) classes, specifically rocky terrain, built up area, forests, water bodies, roads, agriculture, barren land, hill/mountain and fallow land have been analyzed. Landforms of Adama Wereda are ranging from large-scale features such as plains and mountain ranges to minor features such as hills and valleys. The built-up area and agriculture are covering most of the landform classes. U shaped valley was observed in water bodies. The various classifications of TPI and landform can be used in precision agriculture, land-use alteration studies, etc.

Authors: Wang Wan Kai , Zhan Sheng , Liu Zhi Hong , Yi Chui Jie
Published: June 2019

Targeting at the ambient noise test of a large-scale fan, a sparse measurement method is proposed to deal with placing test-points. According to the acoustic and propagational characteristics of fan noise and the principle of sound pressure test, the sparsification of test-points is presented for optimizing the microphone locations. The outdoor ambient sound pressures of fan noise are tested at the sparse points and processed by time–frequency refinement analysis. As results of that, sparse measurement can obtain the messages of sound field effectively and thus get a comprehensive evaluation on the noise. This study extends the application of sound pressure test and provides a base for quantitative sparse measurement on ambient noises.

Authors: Liu Guosong , Zhang Xinming , Liu Hongbo , Hu Jinglei , Li Junye
Published: June 2019

In order to study the effect of different inlet velocity on the polishing quality of abrasive flow machining, this paper takes the variable diameter pipe as an example. The fluid dynamic pressure and total energy of abrasive particles under coupling field with different inlet velocities were carried out by using computational fluid dynamics software. The results of numerical analysis show that the polishing quality becomes better with the increase of the inlet velocity. At the same inlet velocity, the smaller the pipe diameter is, the higher the polishing quality will be. Therefore, the optimum inlet velocity can be selected by numerical simulation according to the size of the aperture of workpiece in the actual processing, which can provide technical support for the production.

Authors: Grau-Bartual Sandra , Al-Jumaily Ahmed M. , Ghadiri Maliheh
Published: June 2019

Lung supportive devices are widely used for respiratory ventilation and therapy to help providing breathing support for patients with various lung diseases including Obstructive Sleep Apnea. These devices deliver continuous air to the patient through a nasal or a facial mask. However, the use of these devices normally results in dryness in the upper airways. Various methods have been developed to improve the continuous positive pressure features using pressure oscillations, which can reduce the patient requirements such as reduction in the titration pressure and humidification requirements. Thus, the objective of this research is to investigate the differences between continuous positive pressure and positive pressure oscillation on the upper airway humidification. Human nasal (RPMI 2650) and bronchial (Calu-3) epithelial cells grown in air-liquid interface on permeable supports are used as a respiratory model. Trans-epithelial electrical resistance is measured before and after each experiment to evaluate the cell layer integrity and permeability.

Metodologias simples para determinar em solos parcialmente saturados a envoltória de resistência ao cisalhamento
Authors: Valencia Gonzalez Yamile , Camapum de Carvalho Jose , Gitirana Gilson
Published: June 2019

O artigo propõe metodologias de laboratório simples para obter a envoltória de ruptura em solos não saturados. A primeira metodologia é baseada em ensaios de tração indireta de corpos de prova usados para a definição da curva característica do solo e o ensaio de cisalhamento direto saturado. Esta metodologia é avaliada numericamente a partir da distribuição do estado de tensões usando o modelo de elementos finitos em 3D. As outras metodologias consistem na combinação dos ensaios de cisalhamento direto em amostras saturadas e o ensaio de compressão simples, assim como da combinação do ensaio de compressão simples com o ensaio de tração indireta, junto com a curva característica. Estas metodologias têm como vantagem a simplicidade e economia, possibilitando a avaliação de parâmetros de resistência, para a condição não saturada, e que pode ser uma alternativa razoável quando os parâmetros de tensão não podem ser obtidos diretamente dos ensaios de cisalhamento com sucção controlada.

Character building is an important step in the process of education, especially Islamic education. The occurrence of various forms of immoral behavior from the community, especially students is an increasingly problematic education today. Character building needs to be done early on to students, both within the family and educational institutions. This paper is intended to look at the process of character building in one of the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah institutions in Yogyakarta that applies the Fullday school model with a boarding school education base. The formulation of the problem to be answered is about how the process of implementing the Fullday school system in fostering children's character and how to foster children's character with boarding-based values. The results of the study show that character building through the Fullday school program can run more effectively because the teacher's guidance to students is more intensive. In addition, the planting of the values of the pesantrenan can provide students with supplies, such as serving the parents, living a simple and thrifty life, discipline, and so on. Character education and coaching in MI Nurul Ummah is the parents' choice because education obtained by children outside the home can be guaranteed.

Islamic education faces several problems and challenges, one of the problems is that the portion of PAI hours at STIE Sakti Alam Kerinci is relatively small, which is 2 credits, so that it impacts on methodological problems, the learning strategy takes the form of lectures, because it is considered effective in overcoming time constraints i.e. lecturers explain while students hear and take notes. Not infrequently when given the opportunity to ask, not a student raised his hand to ask. This condition causes the class to be less dynamic and pleasant. This study aims to improve the process and results of Islamic Education using a cooperative type jigsaw model through video media Dr. Zakir Naik on STIE Sakti Alam Kerinci accounting study students. The population in this study were Accounting students in the even semester of the 2017/2018 academic year, totaling 90 people. In this study the author took only Accounting Class I which amounted to 45 people. Data collection is obtained through observation, interviews with students and documentation. The increase in the implementation of the Islamic Religious Education learning process using the jigsaw cooperative model through Zakir Naik's media in the first cycle, the second cycle and the third cycle became more enjoyable than before because students had new experiences, students who were less active became active during learning, student antusui seen when discussing.

Turi merupakan salah satu tanaman hortikultura yang memiliki banyak manfaat namun keberadaannya semakin terbatas. Pengembangan tanaman turi harus dimulai dengan pengadaan benih yang bermutu tinggi. Uji daya berkecambah adalah salah satu pengujian yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi benih. Prosedur pengujian daya berkecambah benih turi belum banyak diketahui seperti metode pematahan dormansi, substrat perkecambahan yang efektif, serta first count dan final count sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Penyimpanan dan Pengujian Mutu Benih IPB pada bulan MeiSeptember 2017. Hasil pengujian yang diperoleh dari pengecambahan benih turi selama 21 hari adalah hitungan pertama (first count) nya pada hari ke-6 dan hitungan kedua (final count) pada hari ke-8. Substrat perkecambahan yang paling optimum untuk mengecambahkan benih turi adalah kertas merang kemudian kertas saring. Turi juga memiliki dormansi sehingga perlu diberikan perlakuan supaya dormansinya patah dan mudah untuk berkecambah. Metode skarifikasi (pengamplasan) adalah metode terbaik dalam mematahkan dormansi benih turi.

Pemberian biomassa dan pemupukan Ca menjadi pertimbangan dalam melengkapi paket teknologi budidaya jenuh air. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan jenis biomassa dan dosis pemupukan Ca yang secara nyata meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan produksi kedelai hitam dengan budidaya jenuh air di lahan pasang surut. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Karyabhakti, Kecamatan Rantau Rasau, Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi pada Agustus hingga November 2017. Rancangan petak tersarang digunakan pada penelitian ini dengan dua faktor, yaitu sumber biomassa dan dosis pemupukan Ca. Sumber biomassa terdiri atas tiga level antara lain kontrol, biomassa teki-tekian, dan jerami, sedangkan dosis pemupukan Ca terdiri atas empat level, yaitu kontrol, 250 kg ha-1, 500 kg ha-1, dan 750 kg ha-1. Kombinasi keduanya diulang sebanyak tiga ulangan sehingga menghasilkan 36 satuan percobaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh faktor tunggal sumber biomassa dan dosis pemupukan Ca secara umum berbeda sangat nyata dalam meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, bobot kering bintil akar, bobot 100 biji, bobot ubinan, dan produktivitas kedelai hitam. Produktivitas tertinggi pengaruh faktor tunggal sumber biomassa adalah perlakuan pemberian biomassa teki sebesar 2.74 ton ha-1, sedangkan pengaruh faktor tunggal dosis pemupukan Ca terbaik adalah pemupukan Ca 500 kg ha-1 sebesar 2.49 ton ha-1. Interaksi kedua faktor hanya berbeda nyata meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, bobot kering batang, dan jumlah polong isi.

Pengusangan cepat adalah pengujian vigor daya simpan benih setelah mendapatkan pengusangan fisik maupun kimia yang dapat memberikan simulasi lingkungan suboptimum yang dapat menyebabkan kemunduran benih mirip seperti kondisi sebenarnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pengusangan cepat kimia pada benih jagung dengan memanfaatkan alat pengusangan cepat tipe IPB 77-1 MM. Alat pengusangan cepat (APC IPB 77-1 MM) diharapkan merupakan mesin yang akan dapat mempercepat kemunduran benih dengan memanfaat uap etanol 96%. Fungsi dari alat pengusangan cepat IPB 77-1 MM dimaksudkan agar dapat melihat kemunduran benih secara cepat yang bisa menggambarkan kemunduran mutu yang terjadi pada penyimpanan alami yang dalam penelitian ini ditunjukkan dengan menggunakan metode penyimpanan terkontrol. Penelitian ini menggunakan lima lot benih jagung dengan tingkat vigor yang berbeda hasil dari deteriorasi terkontrol pada suhu 40 °C dan RH 98%. Hasil dari pembuatan lot benih dari vigor tinggi hingga rendah: P1 (94.5% berkecambah normal), P2 (92.5% berkecambah normal), P3 (70% berkecambah normal), P4 (38% berkecambah normal), dan P5 (17% berkecambah normal). Penelitian ini terdiri dari dua percobaan, percobaan pertama adalah pengusangan cepat kimia yang terdiri atas 5 taraf waktu pengusangan yaitu 0, 25 (1x25’), 50 (2x25’), 75 (3x25’), dan 100 (4x25’) menit. Percobaan kedua adalah penyimpanan terkontrol pada kondisi suhu kamar (30-34 °C) dan RH tinggi (85-99%) yang didapatkan dari larutan garam jenuh Na2SO4 dan terdiri dari 5 taraf waktu penyimpanan yaitu 0, 10, 20, 25, dan 30 hari.. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pemanfaatan APC IPB 77-1 MM untuk pendugaan vigor daya simpan benih jagung dengan menggunakan pengusangan kimia. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan alat pengusangan cepat IPB 77-1 MM dapat digunakan untuk menduga penurunan vigor pada benih jagung. Hasil percobaan juga menunjukkan alat pengusangan cepat IPB 77-1 MM dapat menduga nilai vigor daya simpan yang sama dengan percobaan penyimpanan pada tolok ukur daya berkecambah dan potensi tumbuh maksimum sedangkan untuk tolok ukur indeks vigor dan kecepatan tumbuh belum menunjukkan konsistensi penurunan vigor.
