Desambiguação de sentenças na interface fonologia-sintaxe-semântica
Authors: Othero Gabriel De Ávila , Teixeira Mariana Terra 
Published: June 2018

Partimos dos resultados de Angelo & Santos (2017) em sua investigação sobre a desambiguação de sentenças com base em pistas prosódicas para tentar esclarecer uma questão que ficou em aberto em seu trabalho. As autoras realizaram um teste de compreensão com sentenças do tipo SN1-V-SN2-Atributo (e.g. O pai visitou o filho feliz) e chegaram à conclusão de que um alongamento nas sílabas do SN2, formando domínios prosódicos distintos entre SN2 e Atributo ([visitou o filhoϕ] [felizϕ]), favorece uma interpretação não local, em que o Atributo é interpretado como predicativo do sujeito e não como adjunto adnominal. Entretanto, as autoras perceberam uma variação entre as interpretações com aposição local e não local na compreensão de sentenças sem o alongamento prosódico. Ou seja, segundo as autoras, a ausência da marcação prosódica não favoreceria uma ou outra interpretação, ao passo que a marcação prosódica alongada favoreceria a interpretação não local. Em nosso trabalho, argumentamos que a desambiguação desse tipo de sentença depende basicamente da resolução de um conflito entre três princípios de diferentes naturezas gramaticais que estão atuando em conjunto na desambiguação de sentenças com essa estrutura: um princípio de natureza prosódica, outro de natureza sintático-computacional e outro de ordem semânticopragmática. Para provar nosso ponto, elaboramos um teste off-line de compreensão de sentenças e o aplicamos a 270 informantes. Nossos resultados apontam para uma interação entre esses três princípios na resolução da ambiguidade dessas sentenças.

Este artigo observa em que medida a tarefa atingiu sucesso e discute a necessidade de criar tarefas confiáveis em estudos psicolinguísticos envolvendo línguas de sinais.
Prevalence, risk factors, and psychosocial adjustment of problematic gambling in adolescents: Results from two representative German samples
Authors: Giralt Sebastián , Müller Kai W. , Beutel Manfred E. , Dreier Michael , Duven Eva , Wölfling Klaus 
Published: June 2018

Background and aims
Gambling disorder is a significant public health concern. Especially, male minors have been shown to gamble in a problematic way, despite legal prohibitions.

Methods
We examined representative samples of students aged from 12 to 18 years (N = 9,309) in two German federal states to provide prevalence data and clinical description of risk factors for problematic gambling.

Results
We found that about 40% of the adolescents reported engaging in gambling activities within the past 12 months and found prevalence rates of 1.7% and 2.2% for problematic gambling. Especially, use of online gambling and slot machines was found to be related to problematic gambling. Male adolescents with a migration background were of higher risk for problematic gambling and psychopathological symptoms were significantly elevated among that group.

Discussion
The results indicate that participation in gambling activities is common among underaged adolescents and that prevalence of problematic gambling exceeds rates of adults. Similarly, problematic gambling is associated with increased psychopathological strain.

Conclusion
Given that a high proportion of adult gamblers report having started gambling in adolescents, our data emphasize the need for prevention and early intervention strategies for problematic gambling.

ObjectivesThe aims of this cross-sectional study were to assess the prevalence of Internet addiction (IA) in a clinical sample of adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to detect the moderating effects of co-occurring oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder (ODD/CD) on the association between ADHD and IA.MethodsThe study group comprised 119 adolescent subjects who were consecutively referred to our outpatient clinic with a diagnosis of ADHD. The Turgay DSM-IV-Based Child and Adolescent Disruptive Behavioral Disorders Screening and Rating Scale (T-DSM-IV-S) was completed by parents, and subjects were asked to complete the Internet Addiction Scale (IAS).ResultsThe IAS results indicated that 63.9% of the participants (n = 76) fell into the IA group. Degree of IA was correlated with hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms but not with inattention symptoms. As compared to the ADHD-only group (without comorbid ODD/CD), ADHD + ODD/CD subjects returned significantly higher scores on the IAS.ConclusionsAs adolescents with ADHD are at high risk of developing IA, early IA detection and intervention is of great importance for this group. In addition, adolescents with ADHD + ODD/CD may be more vulnerable to IA than those in the ADHD-only group and may need to be more carefully assessed for IA.

Purpose. To study the possible association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D level, and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms (BsmI, ApaI, TaqI, FokI) with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEG) clinical manifestations.
Methods. We examined 160 subjects (72 males (45%), and 88 females (55%)) aged from 55 to 75 years, residents of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region. 122 patients with PEG were enrolled in the main study group, the control group comprised 38 subjects without PEG, primary open angle glaucoma (POUG) and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES). 25(OH)D serum levels were assessed by chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) method. Detection of VDR gene allele polymorphisms (ApaI, BsmI, FokI, and TaqI) was carried out using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.
Results. Patients with PEG had lower 25(OH)D serum levels compared to patients in the control group (39.3 1.2 and 52.7 2.1 nMol/l, respectively, p 0.01). The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was found to be higher among PEG patients than among healthy subjects (86.4% and 59.5%, respectively, p 0.01). The prevalence of b allele (p 0.001) and bb genotype (p 0.001) (BsmI polymorphism), as well as of f allele and ff genotype (p 0.05) (FokI polymorphism) in PEG patients were higher compared to healthy subjects. We found that the Fallele carriers (FokI polymorphism) had greater corneal thickness than the ff genotype carriers (547.3 4.1 m and 502.1 25.8 m, respectively, p 0.01). It was revealed, that bb genotype, Bb genotype (BsmI polymorphism), and ff genotype (FokI polymorphism) were associated with the increased risk of PEG (OR = 8.2, CI 95%: 3.4-19.9; OR = 3.9, CI 95%: 1.7-9.0; OR = 2.3, CI 95%: 1.2-4.5, respectively).
Conclusions. Results of this study for the first time ever showed the association between BsmI and FokI VDR gene polymorphisms and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.

Published: June 2018

Currently phacoemulsification (PE) is the main technique of cataract surgery, which provides for patients early clinical and functional rehabilitation. Post-operative corneal edema is a frequent and undesirable clinical situation.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of 3% sodium chloride (Ocusaline) treatment in patients with corneal edema in the early post-operative period.
Materials and methods. 60 patients (65 eyes) with post-operative corneal edema were included in the study. The main group consisted of 35 eyes; 30 eyes were included into the control group. Patients in the group 1 in addition to the routine post-operative treatment were treated with 3% sodium chloride hypertonic eye drops (Ocusaline); and patients in group 2 were treated according to the standard protocol. In all patients before and after surgery (in 1 day, 7 days and 1 month), subjective and objective indices of functional ophthalmic state (visual acuity, pachymetry in the central area and in the tunnel incision zone) were estimated.
Results. The study results demonstrated that 3% sodium chloride hypertonic solution use facilitates visual acuity improvement due to the decrease of corneal thickness in the central area already at one week after surgery. The use of Ocusaline in the early post-operative period allows to decrease clinical and functional rehabilitation terms and to reduce subjective complaints of patients.
An analysis of EFL learnersâ€™ error self-correction attitudes
Authors: Yavuz Fatih 
Published: June 2018

During language teaching and learning, the focus is on how correct or wrong the input is reflected in the output. Accuracy first approaches reject errors due to the risk of interference whereas the communicative approaches use them as signs of learning. So, errors play a vital role in foreign language learning. It is viewed as improvement in different language learning approaches. This paper after reviewing the literature about error and error correction in English language teaching examines the types of errors the students can self-correct. The procedure is as follows: Twenty erroneous sentences from examination papers were chosen as student errors and learners were asked to correct any kind of errors in the sentences. The results were categorised, analysed and commented. The results show that students are better at correcting the structural errors and worst in discourse ones. Under these findings, it is suggested that learner training should focus more on contextual learning.
Keywords: Error correction, EFL, self-correction, accuracy, exam papers.
Unaccompanied foreign minors in Italy between normative and educational needs
Authors: Pasquale Gianna 
Published: June 2018

Nowadays, unaccompanied foreign minors (UAMs) are a significant part of the migrants who arrive in Italy. Starting from the statistical analysis concerning the presence of UAMs in Italy, this paper aims to examine this complex phenomenon and to investigate the legal and socio-educational issues regarding this vulnerable group of migrants.Recently, Italian government has shown a particular interest in the protection of these children who arrive in Italy, approving the Law No. 47 of 7 April 2017 on â€˜Provisions on Protective Measures for UAMsâ€™. This law has amended the existing legislation on UAMs in order to strengthen the protection of these minors and to ensure a homogeneous application of the rules throughout the national territory. Therefore, this study outlines the main measures introduced by Law No. 47/2017 and focus on the important educational role played by the so-called â€˜legal guardianâ€™ (â€˜tutoreâ€™) of UAM for safeguarding and ensuring the well-being and the full integration of the minor.

Analysis of accreditation standards for medical programmes in Argentina
Authors: Larrea Claudio Marcelo , Simonassi Maria Laura 
Published: June 2018

The evaluation of the quality of higher education is a key issue that involves a diverse array of factors, factors which encourage the revision of policies and systems of accreditation, both of which are systematic and well-established processes in Argentina. The accreditation of an undergraduate programme of study consists of recognition based on certain standards and minimum quality criteria which have been previously determined. This research analyses the makeup of accreditation standards for medical programmes in Argentina. The results demonstrate differences in the makeup of standards in terms of the quantity and distribution of objects of evaluation and variables associated with each other. In addition, we identified a lack of order of appearance of the different objects and related variables in the standards, with certain objects of evaluation being evaluated, followed by others, while afterwards there is a return to these same objects in subsequent standards.
Keywords: Standards, accreditation, makeup, undergraduate, medicine.
The development of teachersâ€™ pedagogical content knowledge in teaching biology
Authors: Chapoo Suriya , Thathong Kongsak , Halim Lilia 
Published: June 2018

This paper examines the development of biology teachersâ€™ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). All participants were provided with PCK training activities to improve their understanding of PCK and ability in creating lesson plans according to content representation (CoRe). Research instruments used in this study were open-ended questionnaire, semi-structure interview, lesson plans, CoRe and pedagogical and professional-experience repertoire. The results of the PCK training programme indicated that before participation in the training workshop, three biology teachers lacked content knowledge in some specific topics of biology so that their teaching methods were not congruent with five components of PCK. After the PCK training programme, the three biology teachers understood more about biology contents and the five components of PCK. They realised the importance of the studentsâ€™ prior knowledge and individual differences of learning styles as well as different biology conceptions. They focused on the inquiry-based learning in accord with the National Science Curriculum Standards.
Keywords: Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), content representations (CoRes), biology teachers, experience teachers.
Relationship between teacher capacity of professional learning and teacher self-efficacy: Evidence from structural equation modelling
Authors: Huang Liang , Sun-Keung Pang Nicholas 
Published: June 2018

When equipped with strong professional learning capacity, teachers are capable of enhancing their efficacy in teaching. However, existing research has seldom revealed how teacher capacity of professional learning influences teacher self-efficacy. This study aims to explore the relationship between teacher capacity of professional learning (TCPL) and teacher self-efficacy (TSE). A convenience sampling methods was used in this study to collect data. Structural equation modelling was employed to analyse and validate the relationship between TCPL and TSE. Results show that teacher professional consciousness positively predicted teacher engagement in experimentation. Teacher professional consciousness positively predicted teacher professional reflection. Teacher engagement in experimentation positively predicted teacher professional reflection. Teacher professional reflection positively influenced TSE. Teacher professional consciousness indirectly predicted TSE through professional reflection. Teacher engagement in experimentation indirectly predicts teacher self-efficacy through professional reflection.
Keywords: Teacher capacity, professional learning, professional consciousness, professional reflection, engagement in experimentation, self-efficacy.
Context-based blended learning models and implementation in Sub- Saharan Africa: A literature review
Authors: Machumu Haruni , Almasi Mustapha , Zhu Chang 
Published: June 2018

Technological innovations such as learning management system (LMS), content management system (CMS) and Internet use in higher education have changed the previous teaching and learning pedagogies. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), such innovative pedagogies have opened a new era as such LMS and CMS are used to support blended learning. Though innovative pedagogy has opened significant queries among researchers on how well student acquires knowledge and skills, how student-centered learning and cognitive beliefs are merged and how the use of instructional technologies engages students in active learning and how collaborative learning via LMS has benefited student learning. Moreover, recent educational policies and blended learning novelties are refocusing on teaching and learning models, implementation, practices and more specific knowledge delivery and accessibility. The article surmises that the innovative pedagogies in higher education like mobile learning, e-learning and smart classrooms stimulate adoption, deployment and implementation of blended learning beyond expectations in SSA higher education.

Published: June 2018

Off-pump surgery has involved into the most frequently adopted alternative technique to conventional on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. Our aim was to compare data analyses of complications and in-hospital mortality after on-pump vs off-pump CABG. Materials and methods: Retrospective data analyses research is based on 402 patients, ranging in 37-75 years of age. Operations CABG were performed in 2009- 2012, at the West Georgian Interventional Medicine National Center Hospital, Kutaisi; Aleksandre Aladashvili Clinic, Tbilisi; and L.T.D. Lancet, Tbilisi. 253 cases were performed off pump and 149 cases were performed on pump. Groups were diversified by the F Fischer’s criteria. Odds ratio (OR) was made using regression analysis. Statistical analysis was made using SPSS 22 program. Results: While on pump during surgery, intraoperative shock occurred in 8(5.37%) cases, Thrombosis – 3(2.01%); Dissection – 3(2.01%), Stroke – 1(0.67%) and Myocardial Infarction – 1(0.67%). These complications were not detected during off pump CABG. Frequency of in-hospital mortality after off pump and on pump CABG are respectively 7(2.77%) and 15(10.07%) - p<0.0018. Totallyperi operative complications were during off pump CABG – 35(13.83%) and on pump CABG – 41(27.51%)(p<0.0007). In the cases of on pump surgery, odds ratio of complications that arise: bleeding OR=4.48(95CI;1.38-14.54); atrial fibrillation – OR=6.64(95%CI:1.82-24.21); pulmonary complications - OR=2.24(95%CI:1.19-4.21), renal insufficiency - OR=8.75(95%CI:1.01- 75.63); in-hospital mortality – OR=2.365(95%CI:1.425-3.924). Conclusion: Off pump CABG seems to significantly reduce postoperative renal failure, bleeding, atrial fibrillation, and respiratory complications, while perioperative myocardial infarction rates remain significantly unchanged. Considering in-hospital mortality and perioperative complications, off pump CABG has much better results.

Published: June 2018

Objetivo: identificar as dimensões representacionais da violência contra a mulher entre discentes de enfermagem. Método: estudo
qualitativo fundamentado na Teoria das Representações Sociais, realizado entre agosto e novembro de 2014. Aplicou-se uma
entrevista individual, com perguntas abertas, com 33 discentes de enfermagem. Utilizou-se o software Análise Lexical por Contexto
de um Conjunto de Segmentos de Texto (ALCESTE) para análise lexical de conteúdo. Obteve-se aprovação do Comitê de Ética, nº
109/2014. Resultados: na dimensão conceitual, fundamentam-se no senso comum, na mídia e em situações ocorridas com pessoas
próximas, ainda, evidenciaram outras formas de violência além da física. Na atitudinal, verificou-se sentimentos negativos, a
impunidade do agressor, a pouca tomada de posição da vítima e os motivos da permanência em um relacionamento violento. Na
imagética, os discentes representaram a violência física e a mulher, bem como as consequências psicológicas e emocionais.
Conclusão: a representação dos discentes acerca da violência contra a mulher é estruturada, pois possui as três dimensões
formadoras: conceito, atitude e imagem. Os resultados podem incentivar novas pesquisas, bem como instigar a discussão e
problematização dessa temática em sala de aula, ponderando a futura atuação profissional na prevenção e promoção de ações de
combate à violência contra a mulher.

Multi-seasonal effects of warming and elevated CO<sub>2</sub> on the physiology, growth and production of mature, field grown, Shiraz grapevines
Authors: Edwards Everard J. , Unwin Dale , Kilmister Rachel , Treeby Michael 
Published: June 2018

Abstract: Industry concerns in Australia about the impacts of climate change have, to date, focused on the effects of warming, particularly shorter maturation periods. The effects of elevated CO2 concentration (eCO2) on C3 plant physiology have been extensively studied and suggest that eCO2 impacts on viticulture could affect grapevine shoot growth, fruit production and fruit composition. We previously used open top chambers (OTC) with an active heating system to study the effects of elevated air temperature (eTemp) on mature grapevines in the field. This system was augmented with the ability to elevate atmospheric CO2 and established in a mature Shiraz vineyard in a factorial combination of eTemp and eCO2. Three seasons of observations on the eTemp only treatment corroborated our previous study; all aspects of phenology were advanced, but leaf function was largely unaffected. In contrast, the effects of eCO2 on phenology were small in the first season, but increased over the subsequent two seasons. Interactive effects of the treatments on gas exchange were observed; photosynthesis rates were significantly higher in the eCO2+eTemp treatment, compared to eCO2 alone, suggesting that the likely future climate will have a larger impact on viticulture than might be predicted from experiments examining only one of these factors.
