Published: August 2018

Rationale:Biochemical diagnostics of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is based on the analysis of universal and specific markers, according to the tumor type and clinical manifestations of the disease. Measurement of gastrin levels in the serum of NETs patients is important in the diagnosis of the functioning pancreatic, gastric and duodenal NETs.Aim:To perform a comparative analysis of the results of gastrin measurement as a biochemical marker of NETs using different test-systems.Materials and methods: Serum gastrin was measured in the serum of 30 NET patients and 18 normal controls by immunochemiluminescent (Immulite 2000 Gastrin, “Siemens”) and ELISA (Gastrin-17 ELISA, “Biohit”) assays.Results:The analysis of the results of gastrin measurement by immunochemiluminescent and ELISA methods showed significant variability of its levels, reaching 2016 and 1988 pmol/l, respectively. Comparable analytical sensitivity of the two test systems was confirmed by similar increases (over 30- to 40-fold) of the median levels of the hormone in the serum of patients with gastric NETs, compared to healthy controls. The analysis of diagnostic efficacy accounting for their respective cut-offs demonstrated higher sensitivity (95.4%) of the Immulite 2000 Gastrin test-system, which measures total gastrin, than that of the ELISA method (80.0%), specific to gastrin-17.Conclusion:The analysis shows high efficacy of immonochemiluminescent method of measurement of total gastrin as a biochemical marker of NETs.

Silvicultural practices used for forest management in the Indigenous Community of Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro (CINSJP for its initials in Spanish), Michoacan, Mexico, are important for the sustainability of its woodlands. For this purpose, techniques that provide reliable and current quantitative estimates are required. The aim was to t an equation that describes the allometric relationship between total height and normal diameter (Th-nd) of Pinus pseudostrobus in the CINJSP forests. Data were obtained from P. pseudostrobus stands that have been managed with the Silvicultural Development Method (SDM) at di erent stages according to the current forest management program. The research area is between 2,200 and 2 500 masl, has a temperate type C (w2) climate, and is located at southwest of the Purhépecha Plateau within the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt region. The sample size consisted of 169 total height-normal diameter (Th-nd) data pairs. Ten allometric models to evaluate the goodness of t were tested, choosing three models based on the lowest values of the sum of square errors of prediction (SSE) and the root mean squared error (RMSE), the highest adjusted coe cients of determination and the signi cance of their parameters. The deviations of the models were smaller than 0.01 m. The three-parameter equation T h = K + 38.06004/1+6.033101exp(0.066439dn) proved to be statistically more stable than the rest, and it also shows deviations of less than one meter per tree and less than 1% for the entire population.
Differentiation of apomictic and sexual genotypes of Brachiaria spp., using molecular markers
Authors: Pblete-Vargas Jaime , Valadez-Moctezuma Ernestina , García-de los Santos Gabino , Martínez-Flores Carlos , Peralta-Martínez Armando 
Published: August 2018

Some species of Brachiaria are cultivated in the tropics because of their high productivity and drought resistance; their apomictic hybrids are of interest because of the almost null segregation and xation of the hybrid vigor in seeds. In this research, Amplied Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) and Cleaved Amplied Polymorphic Sequence (CAPS) markers were used to dierentiate apomictic tetraploid and sexual diploid Brachiaria parents and their progeny. Polymorphism detected with AFLP was 91.3% and with CAPS 79.7%. Phenograms dierentiated each genotype and the clustering of parents and their progeny was by their degree of genetic relatedness. AFLP did not separate the apomictic genotypes from the sexual ones, but CAPS markers did so through the C15-8 marker. Some apomictic genotypes of the progeny inherited it from their B. ruziziensis sexual mother, which may be related to some segregating character of the parental line.

Published: August 2018

Apple production in the Sierra de Arteaga, Coahuila is mainly based on the Golden Delicious cultivar. Production based on only a few cultivars represents a genetic risk, because if they are susceptible to a pest, disease or climate change much of this production would be lost if one or more of these conditions occurred. Foreseeing this situation, farmers have introduced different commercial apple cultivars, but there is little information about the genetic diversity among them. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the rates of intraspecic genetic diversity of 12 different apple cultivars using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) molecular markers. Employing nine ISSR primers, it was possible to identify 124 DNA bands, of which 63% were polymorphic, with genetic diversity of 0.24. Results suggest that these cultivars are adapted to the region's climate and can be utilized to increase the overall plantation area, in order not to depend on a single cultivar.

Authors: Souza Tatiana , Souza Sueder 
Published: August 2018

Este trabalho analisa o discurso acerca da representação da mulher vitoriana no final do Século XIX, por meio da obra literária Carmilla: a vampira de Karnstein, de Sheridan Le Fanu, de 1872. A representação angelical e meiga, o Anjo do Lar (PATMORE, 1864), uma mulher sem desejos, totalmente reprimida sexualmente e objeto do homem, é representada pela personagem Laura. Ao passo que Carmilla representa a libertação dessa
mulher, correspondendo à imagem da Femme Fatale, em sendo sedutora e dominadora, se encaixaria no padrão da Femme Fatale, rompendo com os padrões sociais deste período.
JUVENTUDE NEGRA E EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS (EJA): REFLEXÕES NA PERSPECTIVA DA TEORIA DA RESILIÊNCIA
Authors: Valentim Silvani Dos Santos , Assis Neusa Pereira de 
Published: August 2018

O presente artigo toma o conceito de resiliência com vistas a uma melhor compreensão acerca do fenômeno de juvenização da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) e do protagonismo de seus sujeitos, os/as jovens negros/as. Os jovens de modo geral e, em especial a juventude negra não tem recebido um olhar positivo que os enxerguem enquanto sujeitos históricos, seres de possibilidade e ação. Frente a este fato, nossos argumentos buscam trazer à luz a capacidade de resiliência presente em muitos destes jovens tendo em vista diferentes elementos estressores presentes em seu cotidiano. Enquanto protagonistas do rejuvenescimento da EJA, os jovens negros foram, durante toda a pesquisa, reconhecidos a partir de suas potencialidades. Para se compreender a relevância do presente estudo no âmbito da EJA, faz-se necessário reconhecer que as desigualdades que perpassam nossa sociedadecarregam as marcas do pertencimento étnico-racial dos sujeitos, para além e em detrimento de sua condição econômica. Requer, ainda, um exercício de flexibilidade, para se aproximar e compreender as diversas formas de ser jovem. Sabemos que trajetórias de escolarização de estudantes da EJA não éum objeto inédito no campo das pesquisas acadêmicas. Mas, ao tomar o conceito de resiliência na problematização sobre juventude negra na EJA, constrói-se a abordagem com uma aproximação teórica que reconhece e valoriza a experiência de vida e trajetória escolar de pessoas jovens negras, agentes de sua educação.

Published: August 2018

Este estudo discorre de resultados de uma pesquisa de campo, de abordagem qualitativa, realizada na escola prisional do Centro de Reeducação Feminino - CRF, localizado no município de Ananindeua/PA, com bolsa financiada pelo CNPq. O problema de investigação é: a educação carcerária contribui para o processo de reinserção social de mulheres? A pesquisa contou com um total de (07) sujeitos, sendo duas professoras do ensino fundamental, duas coordenadoras pedagógicas e três egressas do CRF, cujas entrevistas foram realizadas na própria escola prisional e no Correio, local de trabalho das três egressas. Os procedimentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram a entrevista semiestruturada e o levantamento bibliográfico e documental. A sistematização e análise dos dados foram realizadas com base na técnica da análise de conteúdo associada à concepção metodológica dialética. Neste artigo elaboramos um recorte sobre a EJA prisional, com vista à reinserção social da mulher em regime de cárcere. Entre os resultados da pesquisa destacam-se: inúmeras problemáticas circundam a escola na prisão, a falta de financiamento, formação de professores e a evasão escolar, entretanto, emanam neste estudo como os principais desafios a serem superados pelos profissionais da educação, o fomento ao trabalho de resgate social e transformação de vidas das mulheres no cárcere. Assim, mesmo sendo um caminho complexo, a educação no cárcere é necessária e contribui para a conscientização acerca da educação como possibilidade de reinserção social.
