Authors: Gordo Margarida do Espírito Santo Cunha , Bentes Lívia Maria Neves , Alameida Raiana de Oliveira 
Published: May 2018

Ao nos lançarmos neste processo investigativo com o objetivo de compreender as significações construídas sobre e pelo corpo junto aos alunos da escola básica, colocamo-nos ao mesmo tempo o compromisso de refletir sobre a forma como as práticas escolares, como extensões de nossas atividades humanas vem incidindo nas atribuições de sentido que os alunos fazem do corpo. Ancoramos nossa metodologia em uma abordagem qualitativa e para a coleta e a análise dos dados, no que diz respeito ao discurso dos alunos, utilizamos a Técnica de Elaboração e Análise de Unidades de Significado proposta por Moreira, Simões e Porto (2005). A partir da pergunta geradora: o que significa a palavra corpo para você? Identificamos quatro unidades de significado: 1) corpo biológico; 2) corpo reprodutor; 3) movimento; 4) morada da alma. A análise dos resultados nos levaram a inferir que as significações atribuídas pelos doze sujeitos da pesquisa ainda permanecem fortemente atreladas a uma visão utilitarista, instrumental e fragmentada do corpo. Ao nos depararmos com este cenário, defendemos a corporeidade como o elo fundamental a ser trabalhado dentro da escola com o intuito de restituir a concepção de unidade corpórea e a noção de corpo como a manifestação de nossa própria existência.

A variação linguística na educação contemporânea: concepções e práticas pedagógicas
Authors: Chaibe Maria Eduarda dos Santos , Ferreira Ediene Pena 
Published: May 2018

O objetivo desta pesquisa em educação e linguagem consiste em compreender o que a Linguística brasileira diz ser tratar a variação linguística no ensino de Língua Portuguesa. Estudiosos têm divulgado reflexões e propostas para um ensino que considere os pressupostos teóricos em torno da variação linguística. Entretanto, ainda é frequente a crítica de linguistas quanto à dificuldade de articulação entre o desenvolvimento da teoria e a atividade de ensino no ambiente escolar. Percebemos nisso a necessidade de uma investigação que evidencie o que os estudos linguísticos dizem ser variação e qual a orientação da Linguística para a articulação da variação com o ensino. Para essa investigação, selecionamos pesquisas de doutores e especialistas da área, autores de textos publicados em livros, teses, dissertações e artigos publicados em meios acadêmicos/ educacionais oficiais, principalmente nos últimos 20 anos, período de divulgação deste tema nas diretrizes oficiais de ensino. Nas pesquisas analisadas, apesar de ainda observarmos contradições, dificuldades de compreensão quanto à concepção de língua e falta de consenso terminológico entre os linguistas, os pesquisadores orientam que o ensino deve partir da reflexão e do acesso dos alunos às variedades da língua como legítimas, de forma a combater o preconceito linguístico, e lhes oferecer possibilidades de escolhas, por meio do reconhecimento das normas efetivamente praticadas pelos falantes da língua portuguesa.

Assessing the performance of social spending in Europe
Authors: Antonelli Maria Alessandra , De Bonis Valeria 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Based on the construction of a composite index to assess the relative performance of welfare policies, we show that the variability of performances cannot be explained only by the amount of resources devoted to social policies, but also by its composition: countries with higher shares of social public expenditure, specifically aimed at reducing income concentration, obtain better results. This associates the traditional classification of the European welfare systems to the performance obtained in the social sector.

Abstract

Objectives. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a xenoestrogen, which is commonly used as a monomer of polycarbonate plastics food containers and epoxy resins. Little is known about the interaction effects between xeno- and phyto- estrogens on glucose homeostasis or other metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to examine effects of individual or combined exposure to low doses of BPA and soy extract on glucose metabolism in mice with the goal to establish its potential mechanisms.

Methods. Fifty-four male mice were randomly divided into six groups. Mice were treated with soy extract at 60 or 150 mg/kg by daily gavage with or without subcutaneously administration of BPA (100 μg/kg/day) for four weeks at the same time, while the control group received a vehicle. Serum levels of fasting glucose, insulin, adiponectin, testosterone, malondialdehyde (MDA), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were measured. Homeostatic model assessment-β cell function (HOMA-β) index was also determined.

Results. BPA exposure induced hyperglycemia and significantly reduced HOMA-β, serum levels of insulin, adiponectin, testosterone, and TAC and noticeably enhanced MDA in BPA group compared to control one. While treatment with soy extract in high dose (150 mg/kg) significantly decreased the levels of fasting blood glucose and MDA and notably improved the serum levels of insulin, HOMA-β, and TAC compared to BPA group.

Conclusion. Soy extract may protect against some adverse effects of BPA. These findings represent the first report suggesting a potential effect between soy extract and BPA in low doses, however, further studies are needed to confirm these results.
Possible association of ghrelin/obestatin balance with cardiometabolic risk in obese subjects with Helicobacter pylori

Published: May 2018

Abstract

Objectives. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common gastric infection associated with extragastric conditions. The association between H. pylori infection and obesity is unclear. H. pylori may affect gut hormones involved in food intake and energy expenditure. The aim of this study is to evaluate ghrelin/obestatin balance and leptin in obese subjects with H. pylori infection.
Methods. Sixty healthy volunteers were divided into: obese and non-obese groups. Each group was divided into H. Pylori positive or H. pylori negative. Anthropometric parameters, H. pylori status, serum glucose, insulin level, and lipid profile were estimated with calculation of Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Serum levels of ghrelin, obestatin, and leptin were evaluated.

Results. Significant increase was found in serum glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR ratio in obese subjects with positive H. pylori as compared to other groups. H. pylori positive obese subjects showed significantly increased ghrelin, ghrelin/obestatin balance, and leptin with a significant decrease in obestatin as compared to negative subjects. Ghrelin/obestatin ratio positively correlated with weight, body mass index, waist, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, leptin, cholesterol, triglycerides, low density cholesterol and also with H. pylori antigen in the same group.

Conclusions. It can be concluded that ghrelin, obestatin, and leptin are affected by presence of H. pylori seropositivity in obese subjects. The higher ghrelin levels and ghrelin/obestatin ratio with lowered obestatin could be considered as a gastro-protective effect against inflammation induced by H. pylori.

Abstract

Background and Objectives
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing rates among U.S. birth-cohort patients have been studied extensively, limited data exists to differentiate birth-cohort screening from risk- or liver disease-based testing. This study aims to identify factors associated with HCV antibody (HCV-Ab) testing in a group of insured birth cohort patients, to determine true birth cohort testing rates, and to determine whether an electronic medical record (EMR)-driven Best Practice Alert (BPA) would improve birth cohort testing rates.

Methods
All birth-cohort outpatients between 2010 and 2015 were identified. HCV-Ab test results, clinical, and demographic variables were extracted from the EMR, and factors associated with testing were analyzed by logistic regression. True birth-cohort HCV screening rates were determined by detailed chart review for all outpatient visits during one calendar month. An automated Best Practice Alert was used to identify unscreened patients at the point of care, and to prompt HCV testing. Screening rates before and after system-wide implementation of the BPA were compared.

Results
The historic HCV-Ab testing rate was 11.2% (11,976/106,753). Younger age, female gender, and African American, Asian, or Hispanic ethnicity, and medical comorbidities such as chronic hemodialysis, HIV infection, and rheumatologic and psychiatric comorbidities were associated with higher testing rates. However, during the one-month sampling period, true age cohort-based testing was performed in only 69/10,089 patients (0.68%). Following the system-wide implementation of the HCV BPA, testing rates increased from 0.68% to 10.76% (P<0.0001).

Conclusions
We documented low HCV-Ab testing rates in our baby boomers population. HCV testing was typically performed in the presence of known risk factors or established liver disease. The implementation of an EMR-based HCV BPA resulted in a marked increase in testing rates. Our study highlights current HCV screening gaps, and the utility of the EMR to improve screening rates and population health.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The aim of the contribution is to introduce a database of linguistic forms and their functions built with the use of the multi-layer annotated corpora of Czech, the Prague Dependency Treebanks. The purpose of the Prague Database of Forms and Functions (ForFun) is to help the linguists to study the form-function relation, which we assume to be one of the principal tasks of both theoretical linguistics and natural language processing. We demonstrate possibilities of the exploitation of the ForFun database.
This article is largely based on a paper presented at the 16th International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories in Prague (Bejček et al., 2017).
Current Opera Production in the Repertoire of the Slovak National Theatre in 1960s
Authors: Mojžišová Michaela 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The study deals with the increase in the introduction of modern opera production at the Slovak National Theatre in the 1960s. The author interprets it not only as an attempt of dramaturgy to enliven the traditional repertoire, but in particular as an ambition to apply more modern theatrical poetics in the production opera practice. Since there was no practice of updating classic opera production in Slovakia in the sense of “Regietheater” at that time, this production of the 20th century was considered to be the most realistic way of reviving opera. At the same time, the study highlights the social motivation of this intention: an effort to address a new, progressively oriented audience that would create appeal for a conventionally oriented audience that primarily focuses on the musical-vocal component of opera productions.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
Today, Road traffic video surveillance becomes the centre of several concerns. It presents an important way for analysis of road traffic in highways. Road traffic video surveillance can help to resolve many problems which can influence road safety. This paper presents a real-time management and control system which serve to analyze road traffic using a stationary camera. The proposed system can measure the quantity and characteristics of traffic in real time based on three modules, segmentation, classification and vehicle counting. Our contribution consists of developing a feature-based counting system for vehicle detection and recognition under the conditions which present a challenge in recent systems, such as occlusions, and illumination conditions. Our method can perform vehicle detection and classification by eliminating the influence of many factors on system efficiency. The obtained results show that the system proposed in this paper provides a counting rate higher than that of some existing methods.
Multi Criteria Evaluation Framework for Prioritizing Indian Railway Stations Using Modified Rough AHP-Mabac Method
Authors: Sharma Haresh Kumar , Roy Jagannath , Kar Samarjit , Prentkovskis Olegas 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This study proposes a hybrid multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology for evaluating the performance of the Indian railway stations (IRS). Since the customers are heterogeneous and their requirements are often imprecise, the evaluation process is a critical step for prioritizing the IRS. To improve the existing approaches, an efficient evaluation technique has been proposed by integrating rough numbers, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and multi-attribute border approximation area comparison (MABAC) methods in rough environment. The relative criteria weights based on their preferences given by experts is determined by rough AHP whereas evaluation of the alternatives based on these criteria are done by the modified rough MABAC method. A case study of prioritizing different railway stations in India is provided to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method. Among different criteria “proactively” is observed to be the most important criteria in our analysis, followed by ‘Railfanning’ and ‘DMO’ is found to be the best among the forty IRS in this study. Finally, a comparative analysis and validity testing of the proposed method are elaborated and the methodology provides a standard to select IRS on the basis of different criteria.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
Determination of efficiency and optimization harbour tug fleet is based on simulation of fleet work and usage for this the methods of ship dynamics and probability theory. Visiting the port transport vessels of possible types is considered as random stream of given intensity. This stream is distributed over the berths. Productivities of berths are given random variables. Random variables are also characteristics of weather conditions in the harbour basin. Tug fleet is represented by the collection of existing port tugs of different types. Work of tugs is determined by operations of approaching to ships, escorting theirs in the near-port waters, posting on the approach channels, transportation within the port waters, berthing, unberthing and going out the ship from the port with the repetition of functioning operations in reverse order. Selection of tugs to service the next arriving or departing ship is dependent from the intensity of the current weather conditions in the port and busyness of tugs in operations with other ships. Work fleet is considered on the conditional time interval of one year. In this time the efficiency of the tug fleet is defined by economic indexes of fulfilment of all towing operations and operations on maintenance tugs. Optimization of the fleet composition is carried out according to the criteria required minimum total bollard pull, low cost and high profit. Based on performed research a program for calculating the efficiency and optimization of the port towing fleet is composed. The program can be adapted to any port with whatever types of tugs.

Abstract
Thirty-six species of terrestrial molluscs were found in the dry grasslands and rock outcrops of the study area, including three that were not previously known for Central Ukraine: Granaria frumentum, Pupilla bigranata and Mediterranea inopinata. These species are relics related to dry open habitats and require conservation in Ukraine on the national level, G. frumentum is already listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, and the other two should be listed in its next edition. It is proposed to create the new protected areas in the most important newly revealed locations of these species. These rocky areas also retain the high diversity of land molluscs in the region. The invasive snail Xeropicta derbentina was found for the first time on the DNIPRO Upland, on the edge of natural dry grassland. The rare native snail Morlina glabra was recorded for the first time in Kyiv Region, it is proposed to be included into the regional red list.

Authors: Gorobets L. V. , Yanenko V. O. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Bird fossils from the Late Pleistocene locality Binagada, deposited kept in the National Museum of Natural History in Kyiv (Ukraine), are described in this paper. Twenty six bird species are identified, including five (Little Stint, Great snipe, Jack snipe, White-winged lark and Rosy Starling) which have not been previously known from this locality. The validity of extinct species Calidris binagadensis (Serebrovsky, 1940) is confirmed and the invalidity of subspecies Anas platyrhynchos paleoboschas Serebrovsky, 1940 is shown. The finding of Rosy Starling fossils in Transcaucasian region confirms the range reduction of this species at the end of Pleistocene.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The distribution of the European grayling and huchen have been studies using several sources of data including ichthyological surveys, analysis of anglers’ and poachers’ catches, interviewing of local fisheries inspectors, forestry inspectors, and some local people, etc. As the results show, the European grayling is very widespread in the Transcarpathian region inhabiting all major rivers and their major tributaries in piedmont areas. The range of the huchen is narrower and includes the Tisza, Rika, Tereblya, Shopurka, and Teresva River with its tributaries such as the Luzhanka, Brusturyanka, and Mokryanka Rivers. Nevertheless, the huchen is quite widespread in the Transcarpathian region and maintains self-sustaining populations.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
New distributional records for Polystoma mazurmovici Buchvarov, 1980 from Rana dalmatina Fitzinger in Bonaparte, 1839 and P. scuratovitchi Buchvarov, 1984 from Rana arvalis Nicolsson, 1842 reported for the Ukrainian territory of Europe. P. mazurmovici and P. skuratovitchi confirmed as valid species, though their original descriptions were very brief and based on a mixed sub-adult and adult individuals. Metrical data of these species together with new morphological information are provided and incorporated in a dichotomous key to adult Polystoma from anurans of Ukraine. Redescription of an adult form of P. skuratovitchi and descriptions of sub-adult forms of P. mazurmovici and P. skuratovitchi are provided. Study confirms strict host specificity of polystomes and increases the number of already known species of Polystoma of Ukrainian fauna to four.
