This paper discusses the use of wild rice species to obtain an improved germplasm with a higher yield potential and a wider genetic base. Three wild species (O. rufipogon, O. glaberrima and O. barthii), and 12 improved varieties (recurrent parents) were selected to develop populations into which genes that control valuable agronomic cahracteristics are selectively transferred by the use of molecular markers. The 36 resulting populations from specific backcross schemes are now in different developmental phases, and underwent negative phenotypic selection against undesirable agronomic traits contributed by the wild parents. Between 220 and 300 BC2F2 families from specific crosses in replicated yield trials in severallocations in Colombia were evaluated. Transgressivesegregation for yield (kg/ha) was detected in the BG90-2*3/0 rufipogon population, and several families yielded between 5 and 15% more than the BG-90-2; transgressive segregation for resistance to the white leaf virus was detected in the O. llanos 5*3/0 rufipogon population. Preliminary data sugests that introgression of certain genes from O. rufipogon may contribute to yield increase in improved rice varieties.

Published: October 2018

The objecti ves of this research are to evaluate the best tomato genotypes, according to their vegetative cycle, yield, and fruit quality, and to determine the influence of photosynthesis, transpiration and efficient water use. This work started in October, 1993, and ended in 1994; it was carried out under greenhouse conditions, at the Universidad Autónoma Agraria "Antonio Narro", Saltillo, Coabuila, Mexico. Significant differences were found among samples between genotypes, time of day, and leaf position. Genotypic yield was influenced by temperature: there was flower drop. The Celebrity genotype of determinate growth habit showed the highest yield per plant (5.42 kg/pt), and was also the most efficient with respect to water use, needing only 22.5 liters to produce a kilogram of fruit. The most precocious hybrid was the determined growth habit Bingo.
Evaluación de desespigue mecánico en híbridos dobles de maíz, en los valles altos de México.
Authors: Espinosa Alejandro , Tadeo Margarita
Published: October 2018

The present work's objective is the evaluation of three types of detasseling: i) ear + 1 leaf; ii) ear + 2 leaves; iii) ear + 3 leaves; iv) control without detasseling in the four coro crosses presenting tiller production, which increases detasseling costs and time, and makes it more difficult. In a factorial arrangement, the detasseling treatments were applied with shears to simulate mechanical detasseling The variables evaluated were: yield, percentage of large seeds, percentage of medium seeds, and percentage of grain. Significant differences were found among genotypes, but not with mechanical detasseling, nor for the interaction. The simple cross (M17xM18) showed the highest yield with 6.5 tlhs and 47.9% of large seeds. Conversely, the cross M36xM37 showed the lowest yield with 2 t/ha and 16.1 % of large seeds. The lowest yield per detasseling occurred under this practice + 1 leaf with 4.6 t/ha, and the highest yield occurred with detasseling + three leaves with 5.2 t/ha. These results suggest that in order to achieve an easy and safe detasseling in the evaluated crosses, the best method would be elimination of the masculine organ plus three leaves.

The capacity of five common bean genotypes from the germ plasm bank at CIAT, Colombia (Río Tibaji, APN 18, Carioca, G 14665, and G19441) to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere was evaluated. An experiment was carried out with plants grown in 16-liter capacity plastic boxes with a highly aerated and nitrogen-free nutrient solution (400 ml of air/solution liter/min). In the first box the CIAT 899 Rhizobium strain was innoculated, and in another box the CR 477 strain from Costa Rica, both from CIAT; a third box was reserved for CF1 of national origino The experimental design consisted of random blocks with four repetitions. In order to determine the dry mass of the aereal part (DMAP), the radicular dry mass (RDM), and the nodular dry mass (NDM), the plants were cut in the R7 developmental phase. With respect to NDM, the carioca genotype and the CF1 strains were statistically superior to the rest (P<0,00l); however, the major nitrogen fixers were the G 14665 genotype - the best combination between NDM and fixation efficiency - and the CIAT 899 strain, which was 2.4 times more efficient (N mgl NDM g) than the rest. This shows that the NDM production is not a determining variable when genotypes or strains with a high capacity for nitrogen fixation in the atmosphere are being selected.
Resistencia de Mycosphaerella citri a benomil en plantaciones de cítricos de Costa Rica.
Authors: Hidalgo Herman , Sutton Turner B. , Arauz Luis Felipe
Published: October 2018

Research was carried out on 24 orange plantations in Costa Rica in order to determine the sensitivity to benomyl of Mycosphaerella citri Whiteside - fungi causing the citrus greasy spot. Only thirteen samples yielded enough ascospores to determine their sensitivity to benomyl. Twelve of the samples represented an area of approximately 4.000 ha from the Northern part of Costa Rica (the cantons of San Carlos and Los Chiles), and one was from a nonsprayed home orchard in Orosi, in the Central Valley located more than 250 km away from San Carlos. AIl of the samples from the Northem region yielded benomyl resistant ascospores, although benomyl is not normally used in those areas. Conversely, 99% of the ascospores obtained in Orosi were sensitive; this suggests that the M. citri wild population is benomyl-sensitive. It was found that 75% of the orchards sampled came from the same nursery, where the phytosanitary program includes five benomyl applications ayear. Furthermore, 10 M.citri samples obtained from this nursery were benomyl-resistant. This suggests that the benomyl-resistant isolations found in the plantations were introduced there through the nursery stock.

Published: October 2018

This research involved ninety-six S1 maize lines with the opaque-2 gene that carne from populations 63 (26 lines), 65 (12 lines), and 68 (58 lines) from the CIMMYT maize breeding programo The S1 lines selected in the laboratory because of their high lysine content were crossed with five testers that had a different genetic base: a synthetic variety, two early lines derived from this variety, and two single intermediate crosses of normal performance. The test crosses were evaluated and compared with five control s (two commercial and three experimental hybrids) using a randomized complete block design in two sites in Mexico during 1992. The objecti ves of this research were to select SI lines in early generations according to their agronomic performance, grain lysine content, and GCA grain yield, and to compare testers' efficiency in discriminating S1 lines. On average, the SI lines of population 63 showed a greater grain yield as compared to that of populations 65 and 68 combined with all testers, except in the case of the synthetic tester YS- 201-M. A line from population 65 combined with tester B3 x B5 showed the highest grain yield (10,23 t ha-I), representing a superiority of 4% above the best commercial hybrid, AN- 447. A total ofthirty-one Sllines were selected based on their agronomic attributes and grain yield: 13, 14, and 4 from populations 63, 65 and 68 respectively]. Tester B3 x B5 tumed out to be the best line discriminator according to the following criteria: grain yield, percentage of ears damaged by Fusarium spp., and number of rotten ears.

Published: October 2018

The objectives of this research were: (a) to evaluate the strategy of line selection using the general combining ability test (delayed form), and the performance per se of groups of lines with endogamy levels between S4 and S7. (b) to estimate phenotypic correlation between grain yield and other agronomical traits in lines and hybrids, and between lines and their hybrids, for several economically important factors. Two groups of hybrids were formed, one intermediate and one late cycle. The V-385 C3 was used as the common testero The lines were simultaneously multiplied. The lines themselves and the hybrids were planted in Zapo pan and Tlajomulco, Jalisco, Mexico. Use of late testing (S3 or S4 and later), simultaneous evaluation of the lines themselves, and the graphic method developed were important strategies for selecting lines with a high general combining ability and agronomic quality. The study was also use fuI for reducing the number of lines to evaluate, and for selecting in advance the best type of hybrid to produce. Phenotypic correlation for grain yield between lines and test crosses was similar in the two lines (r= 0.21 and r= 0.20 for intermediate and late lines, respectively), and not significant. This confirms that selecting lines using only the grain yield of their test crosses is not a completely reliable procedure, and justifies the strategy of performing both evaluations.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of successive use of glyphosate - sprayed as recommended by the manufacturer - in banana growth and yield. The experiment started in November, 1996 at the San Pablo farm located in the Atlantic region of Costa Rica. Production units at a similar phenological stage (al1 of them showing grandmother-mother-son) were ramdomly chosen. Several treatments with glyophosate were analyzed on said units, ranging from one application to consecutive-application cycles every seven weeks. A control - hand-weeded once a month - was included. The treatments evaluated did not affect the diameter of pseudostems, plant height, number of leaves, width of youngest leaf, or root weight of sprayed sons. Likewise, growth synchronization between mothers and sons, as wel1 as fruit yield and quality, were not affected.

Published: October 2018

A method consisting of infesting maize plants during their first fifteen days was used to detect CSS resistance sources. Four leafuoppers infested with the CSS complex were placed on each seedling. Highly significant differences were found among lines evaluated according to grain yield (p = 0,0001). The best lines were LT- 173 with 3,818 kg/ha, LT-183 with 3,808 kg/ha, and LT - 184 with 3,626 kg/ha. LT-183 and LT-184 did not show any CSS symptoms, and LT-173 had only chlorosis in leaf borders and phylodia [proliferation of leaves in the ear]. Two closelyrelated symptoms are leaf chlorosis and short intemode (r = 0.83), which also appear most frequently in the CSS syndrome (r = 0.45). Other variables affecting CSS are also discussed.

Neste artigo, debateremos os sentidos produzidos em torno das vivências escolares por estudantes com dificuldades de leitura e escrita de uma escola pública do estado da Paraíba. Para tanto, foi utilizada a abordagem dos estudos do cotidiano para compreender os sentidos dos fazeres, deveres e saberes conduzidos/as pelos/as discentes em torno do processo de ser/tornar-se estudante. Os resultados apontam para a compreensão de que os processos de aprender e ensinar apresentam-se imbricados pela construção de sentidos à permanência na escola e sentimentos de pertença que não se encerram nos conteúdos disciplinares dispostos nos currículos. Dessa forma, é nossa intenção questionar os mecanismos sutis de exclusão escolar e, nesse sentido, refletir sobre o papel da escola em uma perspectiva inclusiva.

Published: November 2018

Estuda-se o uso de escória de cobre (CS) como agregado fino e substituto parcial do cimento na preparação de argamassas. Os resultados mostraram um aumento na resistência à compressão e à flexão em 3, 7 e 28 dias usando CS como agregado fino. Como substituto parcial do cimento, percebeu-se uma gradual melhoria na resistência à compressão e à flexão no 7, 28 e 90 dias. Em 7 e 28 dias, a argamassa de controle (CM) mostra maior resistência à compressão e resistência à flexão. No entanto, em 90 dias, o CM e as argamassas preparadas com CS mostraram resistência à compressão e resistência à flexão semelhante. O uso de CS na indústria da construção, portanto, apresenta-se como uma alternativa auspiciosa para melhorar a qualidade de argamassas e mitigar os impactos ambientais dos depósitos de escória, adicionando valor extra ao resíduo metalúrgico e reduzindo a escassez de agregados do norte do Chile.

O texto, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica e de análise documental, analisa a organização e estrutura da Educação Profissional brasileira a partir das Leis Orgânicas de Ensino, na década de 1940, oriundas daquela que ficou mais conhecida como “Reforma Capanema” e das Leis de Equivalência do Ensino, mais especificamente as leis n° 1.076, de 31 de março de 1950, Lei n° 1.821, de 12 de março de 1953 e Lei n° 3.552, de 16 de fevereiro de 1959. Esta pesquisa dialoga com autores que versam sobre a educação, como Romanelli (1978, 2005), Silva (1980), Cunha (1981) e Manfredi (2002) que apresentam, significativamente, uma gama de questões pertinentes para entender o processo educacional durante o período referenciado. Utilizamos o método exploratório, uma vez que busca apenas levantar informações sobre um determinado objeto, delimitando um campo de trabalho, mapeando as condições de manifestações desse objeto. As concepções estabelecidas para essa pesquisa foram analisadas por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa com predominância de tratamento dos dados através da interpretação histórica. Discutimos a temática tendo como base de explicação o materialismo histórico dialético. Os resultados apontam para uma educação historicamente dual, porém as Leis de Equivalência surgem com a finalidade de suprir as limitações existentes nas Leis Orgânicas do Ensino que já não respondiam às aspirações da sociedade vigente, em plena expansão econômica e industrial.
Efficacy of a Pheromone Trap with Insecticide-treated Long-lasting Screen Against Fall Armyworm (faw), Spodoptera Frugiperda (lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Authors: Gilson Chipabika , Francisco Gonzalez , Bingham Georgina V. , Matimelo Mathews
Published: October 2018

Food Security is an issue that will impact everyone by 2050 and it is projected there will be a global crisis unless action is taken. Currently the fall army worm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a new pest to the Sub-Saharan region and the outbreaks over the past two years have
been devastating. A promising novel technology is the combination of a pheromone lure from ChemTica Internacional S.A. and yellow long-lasting insecticide treated ZeroFly Screen from Vestergaard SA. To test this technology, we compared the attraction and mortality of traps made of old
soda bottles in five different sites of Zambia with maize and wheat crops. Besides the attraction of the pheromone-baited traps we also compared the effect of the colour of the insecticidal net, between black and yellow screens. Our results showed that in all sites there were significant differences
in trap catches between lure baited and non-baited traps. A total of 1129 FAW adults were trapped, of which 51.20% were from baited traps with the yellow long-lasting insecticide treated screen, 41.45% from traps baited and the black long-lasting insecticide treated screen and 7.35% from trap
without lure or the insecticide treated screen. The trap with yellow insecticide treated screen was able to trap 110 more FAW than the black treated screen and the control. Significant differences were also observed in number of moths caught from each location and district. The highest catches
were recorded from wheat crops at Zambia National Service (ZNS) Farm in Chongwe and Chaloshi farm in Chisamba districts, respectively, whilst the lowest catch was recorded in a maize field at Tugama farm in Chilanga district. It was also noticed that the pheromone used is specific to FAW as
no other insects were recorded in all the sites. Therefore, the pheromone lure from ChemTica and the yellow long lasting insecticide treated screen from Vestergaard SA can be used in the integrated pest management of FAW in Zambia in both, maize and wheat, these complimentary methods include
but are not limited to; the use of Biopesticides – fungal, viral or bacteria based products such as Metarhizium anisopliae or bacteria-based Bacillus thuringiensis that have proven effective against fall armyworm and have been used to control it in the US and Brazil.
Bold Beginnings and the Rhetoric of 'School Readiness'
Authors: Kay Louise
Published: October 2018

The 'school-readiness' agenda is becoming increasingly dominant in recent policy discourse, and this article explores how the Bold Beginnings report builds on this agenda. By focusing on the curricular gap between the end of Reception and Year 1, and on the importance of mathematical
and literacy outcomes, it is argued that Bold Beginnings clearly establishes the Reception year as a site to 'ready' children for school. Using a rhetorical analysis approach, this article considers how the text is constructed as a persuasive discourse advocating the further formalisation
of the early years.
Reading in the Reception Classroom
Authors: Hodgson John
Published: October 2018

Ofsted's 2017 review of the Reception year curriculum,Bold Beginnings, asserts that reading is the core purpose of the Reception year, and advocates 'systematic synthetic phonics' as the teaching method. This article challenges this precept by reference to recent research into
the nature of reading, the way children learn in the Reception class of a primary school, and the actual practice of early years teachers.
Bold Beginnings or Pressure from the Start?
Authors: Williams Laura
Published: October 2018

In November 2017, Ofsted published Bold Beginnings, a report on its findings about teaching in the Reception year. Like very many practitioners in the early years, the author of this article believes this report to be of concern, as the recommendations it proposes would be so
damaging for the early education of young children. She believes its recommendations are not developmentally appropriate for four- and five-year-olds, as insufficient importance is given to the prime areas of learning and development; the suggested curriculum would be too narrow and formal
for such young children, and would remove opportunities for deep learning through play. There are also concerns about its impact on the professionalism of teachers and practitioners in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
An Ethnobotanical Study of Plant Species Used for Medicine by the Eegun Indigenous Tribal Group of Lagos State, Nigeria

Published: November 2018

The ethnobotanical study of plant species used for medicine by the Egun indigenous tribal group of Lagos State, Nigeria was undertaken with a view to assess the valuable plant species in the area and their methods of preparation. In the recent time, there have been a lot of ethnobotanical studies conducted among the varying ethnic compositions in Nigeria, but a gross dearth of such studies abounds among the Eegun ethnic composition. Several communities were selected, among which 10 respondents were randomly interviewed with the aid of a semi-structured questionnaire guide. Even more, in the LGA, a major market (Badagry market), was chosen where 5 botanical vendors were interviewed on the plant parts sold. A semi-structured questionnaire matrix was used to interview the respondents. All the interviewed were focused, conversational and two-way in communication. Group interviews were conducted in each community to established group consensus on the individual responses provided. The results revealed that a total of 44 plant species, belonging to 38 families, were observed to be valued for medicine and health maintenance. The respondents’ indigenous knowledge on these species revealed that diverse diseases were managed with the identified plant species. The parts of the plants used varied, as well as the methods of preparations which were simple, as well as the mode of utilization. Results obtained from the test on the abundance of the identified plant species used in the present study revealed that 7% of the identified species were very abundant, 41% were abundant, 41% were frequent, while 2% of them were rare. Adequate protection of medicinal plant resources through conservation in their natural reserves is recommended.
Physical and mechanical properties of Gravel-Tire Chips Mixture (GTCM)
Authors: Pasha S. M. K. , Hazarika H. , Yoshimoto N.
Published: October 2018

In this study, a series of experimental programs were conducted to investigate the physical properties and mechanical behavior of a gravel-tire chips mixture (GTCM). The effects of particle characteristics, tire chips-gravel particle size ratio, relative density, gravel fraction by volume in GTCM, effective confining pressure and drainage condition on shear strength and the deformation characteristics of gravel and GTCM have been investigated. Additionally, the influence of the tire chips-gravel particle ratio and gravel fraction on the maximum and minimum void ratio of GTCM were also examined. Three behavioral zones, gravel-like, gravel-tire chips-like and tire chips-like, were clearly observed and reported by varying the tire chips proportion in the mixture. Outcomes revealed that the gravel fraction along with the particle size ratio of the tire chips to gravel are the main parameters controlling the skeleton, as well as the compaction behavior of GTCM. Results of consolidated compression triaxial tests revealed that the gravel fraction, particle size ratio of tire chips to gravel and confining pressure have significant influence on the stress-strain and dilatancy behaviors of soil and the effects are more pronounced at lower tire chips content ratio in the mixture.
Winkler model for axially loaded piles in inhomogeneous soil
Authors: Crispin J. J. , Leahy C. P. , Mylonakis G.
Published: October 2018

Analytical closed-form solutions are developed for the elastic and elasto-plastic settlement of axially loaded piles in inhomogeneous soil. The soil is modelled by way of a bed of Winkler (‘t–z’) springs with stiffness varying as a power function of depth, described by two dimensionless inhomogeneity parameters. The associated governing differential equation is solved in an exact manner using Bessel functions, which reproduce the solution for homogeneous soil. Additional limiting cases are explored including: (a) infinitely long piles, (b) short piles, (c) perfectly floating piles and (d) perfectly end-bearing piles. The solution is extended to the non-linear range by employing elastic–perfectly plastic Winkler springs. A systematic approach for predicting the full load–settlement curve is presented and applied to tests from a site in London. Dimensionless charts are provided for routine design.

LET’S HEAR IT ONCE MORE FOR THE UNSUNG COACH: ON THE EFFICIENCY OF COACHING FOR THE UNIFIED STATE EXAM
Authors: Nurieva L. M. , Kiselev S. G.
Published: November 2018

Introduction. With the introduction of a new attestation procedure of school graduates in the form of the Unified State Examination (USE), coaching has gained widespread acceptance in Russia. By some estimates, between a quarter and a half of school graduates have recourse to one-to-one coaching when preparing for the USE. However, the question of the efficiency of such lessons remains open. Recently, various publications in professional periodicals and the media have begun to appear, which cast doubt on the benefits of coaching. The authors of these publications are specialists of the Higher School of Economics (HSE). According to their studies, additional lessons in preparing for the USE, including those with coaches, have a very little effect. 

Theaimof the research was to discuss the validity of the HSE specialists’ arguments concerning the low efficiency of coaching activities.

Methodology and research methods. In the course of studying the problem, a comprehensive research methodology was applied, including approaches for comparative and statistical analysis of data and materials published by the HSE, Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI) and Federal Testing Centre.

Results and scientific novelty. An analysis of scientific works published by the HSE specialists showed that their conclusions with regard to the claimed low efficiency of additional lessons in preparation for the USE are unsubstantiated due to the presence of gross methodological errors in the calculations. Firstly, the students’ initial level of knowledge prior to lessons with a coach was miscalculated, with the final school grades in Russian language and mathematics being taken as the initial level instead of the average score of the certificate. Secondly, the specialists ignored the fact that the final grade “two” does not exist in the school attestation system. In this regard, the models used by the HSE specialists’ did not allow the progress in training from the school grade “three” to the USE “three” evaluation to be adequately recognised. Thirdly, the determination of the efficiency of coaching was made without taking the specific character of different teaching disciplines into account. Thus, the reliance on formal mathematical procedures to the detriment of content problem analysis led the specialists of the HSE to snap judgements that do not reflect the true situation.

Practical significance.The authors believe that the observations provided in this paper will help education specialists to adjust approaches when determining the efficiency of additional lessons during USE preparation.

Rector Father Castañeda’s artistic patronage at the Jesuit College of Oaxaca as revealed in his personal correspondence
Authors: Mellado Corriente Marina
Published: October 2018

The Jesuits carried out a noteworthy educational mission in the Viceroyalty of New Spain. For that purpose they built capable edifices and decorated them with artistic contents that facilitated that endeavor, and allowed it to thrive. One of those complexes was the College of Oaxaca, the primary educational institution in one of the most prosperous viceregal cities and third in importance among the more than thirty colleges that the Jesuits founded in New Spain, representing a clear example of the process of spiritual, intellectual, and material expansion that the Society of Jesus carried out in Spanish America. The discovery, among other documents, of a set of letters penned by one of its last rectors has revealed that it once featured a significantly rich artistic program, one that, unfortunately, has been progressively disappearing since the banishment of the Jesuits from Oaxaca in 1767.
Identidades masculinas y moda en la pintura española del siglo XIX
Authors: Castro brunetto Carlos javier
Published: October 2018

En este artículo analizaremos varios retratos realizados por artistas españoles del siglo xix en los que la moda juega un papel primordial en la definición de la identidad masculina. Tanto la evolución de la indumentaria como de los gestos del rostro, la barba o el tipo de peinado, construyen formas de identidad masculina diferentes entre sí pero sometidas a la voluntad del artista o del retratado para afirmar su personalidad. Así pues, la moda se constituye como un método eficaz para estudiar el retrato como género artístico y la identidad masculina como un objetivo fundamental de la obra de arte.
Origen y evolución arquitectónica de los conventos cordobeses de Madres Dominicas
Authors: Carmona Carmona Francisco Manuel
Published: October 2018

A partir del análisis de la abundante información inédita que nos ofrecen tanto archivos como fondos con documentación conventual, en esta investigación hemos intentado destacar las distintas vías de origen y evolución arquitectónica de los claustros cordobeses de dominicas. Si tradicionalmente se ha venido vinculando únicamente la actividad fundadora y constructiva a determinadas clases privilegiadas, este estudio deja patente que el impulso de la comunidad femenina en las estructuras edilicias que permiten su reunión ha quedado olvidado o silenciado. Así, nos proponemos el triple objetivo de evidenciar el desconocimiento sobre las vías de  origen, formación, desarrollo y defensa de las edificaciones conventuales; ponderar la importancia del impulso femenino para con ello; así como destacar el potencial de la documentación conventual para la Historia del Arte.
DEMOCRACIA E JUSTIÇA: A TEORIA POLÍTICA DE JOHN RAWLS E O CAPITAL HUMANO
Authors: Lima Martonio Mont'alverne Barreto , Nogueira Maria Alice Pinheiro
Published: October 2018

O presente texto pretende discutir o sentido econômico, político e social de capital humano, na forma como construído por organismos internacionais, especialmente para sua aplicação na América Latina, a partir de resultados de pesquisas obtidos, principalmente, pela análise dos seguintes documentos: Relatório do Capital Humano 2016, Agenda 2030 e Relatório do Desenvolvimento Humano 2016. Em momento posterior, o texto avança na direção de provocar reflexão sobre o capital humano a os pressupostos teóricos de John Rawls, em que justiça e equidade possuem lugar de destaque. Para Rawls, a possibilidade de sociedades menos desiguais seria possível por meio da justa distribuição de oportunidades a todos, na qual os indivíduos estariam razoavelmente livres para suas escolhas. Trata-se de uma perspectiva de fortalecimento da relação entre indivíduos que reconheceriam na necessidade de o outro indivíduo dispor da mesma formação, a fim de evitar assimetrias significativas, porém respeitadas as opções que os indivíduos são capazes de efetivarem em sociedades livres. Conclui-se que os países da América Latina possuem deficiência quando desperdiçam seu capital humano de suas populações, exatamente no ponto em que as medidas para a universalização da educação de qualidade são deficitárias, o que se traduz em desperdício de gerações de capital humano, o qual poderia significar melhora econômica, política e social na vida dessas sociedades, incluindo a estabilidade institucional. A pesquisa é bibliográfica e de caráter descritivo e dissertativo, ao final, quando assume posição crítica diante do conjunto analisado.
Aryl-hydrocarbon receptor as a potential target for anticancer therapy
Authors: Vorontsova J.E. , Cherezov R.O. , Kuzin B.A. , Simonova O.B.
Published: October 2018

Aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor, AHR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor, whose functions are related to xenobiotic detoxification, response to inflammation, and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Recent investigations suggest that AHR also plays an important role in the processes of carcinogenesis. Increased expression of AHR is observed in several types of tumors and tumor cell lines. In addition, it turned out that the composition of pharmaceutical drugs used in oncotherapy includes some ligands AHR. These facts allow us to consider an aryl-hydrocarbon receptor as a potential target for anticancer therapy, especially for the treatment of severe cancers whose treatment options are very limited or do not exist at all. In this review the examples of AHR ligands' effect on tumor cell cultures and on model mice lines with AHR-dependent response are discussed.
Pharmacokinetics of noopept and its active metabolite cycloprolyl glycine in rats
Authors: Boyko S.S. , Zherdev V.P. , Shevchenko R.V.
Published: October 2018

The study of the pharmacokinetics of new drugs and the identification of active metabolites is a necessary step for effective and safe use in the clinical practice. It is especially important for peptide drugs due to their enzymatic instability, low bioavailability and poor permeability through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The role of endogenous neuropeptides containing cyclic amino acids, proline, pyroglutamic acid, and glycine, in the regulation of memory processes is known as terminal peptide fragments. The development of nootropic drugs based on natural neuropeptides with high pharmacological activity and improved pharmacokinetic properties (enzymatic stability, high bioavailability, and good permeability through the BBB) is an important problem of modern neuropsychopharmacology. Developed drugs – representing short (di- and tri-) peptides appear to meet these requirements. In the Zakusov Research Institute of Pharmacology a nootropic agent noopept (N-phenylacetyl-prolyl-L-glycine ethyl ester), was developed and introduced into medical practice, studies of its pharmacokinetics in ratsrevealed that the noopept metabolite found in the rat plasma and brain, cyclo-prolyl-L-glycine (CPG), differed significantly in its pharmacokinetic parameters from noopept, but at the same time it had similar noopept multi-component spectrum of pharmacological action, namely the influence on higher integrative functions of memory.

Published: October 2018

Background: Some parents believe that it’s not worth to treat and spend money on this tooth because they will shed after all. Many of them are not aware that primary dentition should be maintained in the dental arch in a healthy state for the overall health of the child.Methods: The survey included questions related to demographics, such as gender and educational level. Further investigative questions included the need of pulp therapy in primary teeth, knowledge about pulp treatment, importance of pulp treatment, number of dental visits, reason of dental visit, filling of carious tooth and preference of pulp therapy.Results: The total number of questionnaires filled by participants was n=736. Out of which, 104 (14%) were males and 632 (86%) females. As far as the educational levels were concerned, 81 (11%) had completed primary school, 110 (15%) had completed high school and 545 (74%) were graduates from university.Conclusions: Overall there was no statistically significant difference between the subgroups of gender and educational level.

Authors: Kumar S. Senthil , Vithiavathi S. , Parameswaran P.
Published: October 2018

Background: Hypertension control is essential to prevent macro vascular complications in patients with chronic kidney disease. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is the recognized gold standard for the assessment of hypertension and hence in this study ABPM assessment was done in 50 patients with dialysis dependant CKD to evaluate the adequacy of BP control and prevent adverse events.Methods: This study is a prospective observational study conducted at Aarupadai Veedu Medical College and Hospital, Pondicherry among hypertensive patients with dialysis dependant CKD patients as per standard criteria. A total of 50 patients participated in this study of both gender after obtaining written consent. Patients with coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, acute kidney injury were excluded from this study.Results: Out of the total 50 patients included in this study 72% had early morning dipping in BP and remaining 28% had non-dipping in systolic and diastolic pressure. The mean systolic pressure reached a maximum of 160.95mmHg to a minimum of 113.38mmHg and the mean diastolic pressure with a maximum of 98.47 to a minimum of 62.71mmHg on an overall 24 hours ABPM monitoring. The mean systolic and diastolic pressure was found to be more in the active period than in the passive period.Conclusions: Nocturnal BP is superior to day time BP in predicting CVD outcomes. This study shows both systolic and diastolic pressure variability over 24hrs maximum during night hours (nocturnal hypertension) and non-dipping of early morning BP. Both non-dipping status and nocturnal hypertension are associated with target organ damage and CV risk.
Role of magnetic resonance imaging as a diagnostic tool in evaluation of painful hip joint, and early detection of pathological changes, helpful to prognosticate and influence therapeutic decisions
Authors: Bollipo Johny Prasad , Rao Pasupuleti Bhimeswara
Published: October 2018

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a well-established imaging technique, which are available at most larger hospitals today. Due to the combination of this high contrast and the fact that it is a non-ionizing radiation, MRI is often used for investigation of a large range of pathologies in almost all parts of the body. This study was performed to describe the MRI features in various types of lesions causing painful hip joint, as well as identify the common lesions seen in painful hip joint and to analyse the severity and extent of the underlying lesion in various conditions of hip joint pain, and early detection of pathological changes helpful to prognosticate and influence therapeutic decisions.Methods: This descriptive study was done on 50 patients with complaints of hip joint pain were included into the study. Appropriate MRI sequences and multi-planar imaging performed for every patient.Results: Out of the 50 patients included in the study, 74% of them were males who were predominantly affected with hip pain. The most common age group which was affected was 51-60 years (20%) and 21-30 years (20%). The most common pathology amongst the patients was Avascular necrosis of femoral head seen in 44% of the patients, osteoarthritis was seen in 54 patients, Tuberculosis in 5 patients, 2 had Perthe’s disease, joint effusion was observed in 6 patients.Conclusions: MRI of the hip joint is an informative, diagnostic, non-invasive, rapid and accurate imaging modality for the assessment of hip pain and sufficient imaging modality for delineation of different hip joint pathology.
