title: Evaluation of concepts regarding the construction of scientific knowledge by the congenitally blind: an approach using the Correspondence Analysis method

description: Abstract: inclusion of people with special needs in the school environment is one of the current challenges of Brazilian education. Knowing how people in this environment perceive inclusion can contribute to the construction of solutions that make it complete. Thus, this work presents a study that investigated the conceptions that future teachers, undergraduates in science, have regarding the construction of scientific knowledge by congenitally blind people, in particular, regarding the understanding of the concept of light. The collected opinions were treated from a statistical point of view, through the Correspondence Analysis method. The results show there is no definitive consensus regarding the understanding and construction of the concept of light by congenitally blind individuals, showing the need to develop more adequate educational interventions in the teacher training process, with a view to the formation of educators capable of consolidating school inclusion.

title: Estela Campos and early abstractionism in Pará (1957-1959): hypotheses on invisibilities in art history

description: Abstract This paper presents information on a gap in the historiographic studies of art in Belém, Brazil. It discusses the role of the artist Estela Campos in the consolidation of abstractionist currents in the artistic field of Belém, analyzing critical reception of her first three solo exhibitions (1957, 1958 and 1959, in the cities of Belém, Rio de Janeiro, and Belém, respectively). Sources that provide a biographical sketch of the artist are presented, many still unpublished or barely known. In the same way, some hypotheses are raised about aspects that may have contributed to her invisibility in the art history of Belém (sexism, provincialism, localist historiographical approaches).

title: Effects of polymorphisms in APOB, APOE, HSD11β1, PLIN4, and ADIPOQ genes on lipid profile and anthropometric variables related to obesity in children and adolescents

description: Abstract Genes can influence lipid profile and anthropometric variables related to obesity. The present study aimed to verify if variants of the APOE, APOB, ADIPOQ, HSD11β1, and PLIN4 genes are associated with lipid levels or anthropometric variables in a sample comprised of 393 Euro-Brazilian children and adolescents. DNA was genotyped by TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. The ε4 and ε2 alleles of the APOE gene were associated respectively with lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels (p=0.015 and p=0.012, respectively), while the ε3 allele was associated with higher abdominal circumference (p=0.0416) and excess weight (p=0.0001). The G allele (rs846910) of the HSD11β1 gene was also associated with excess weight (p=0.039). No other association was found. Our results indicate that the ε4 and ε2 alleles could contribute to lower HDL-C and LDL-C levels, respectively, furthermore, the ε3 allele and the G allele (rs846910) of HSD11β1 gene may be risk factors for excess of weight.These findings are very important because we observed that some genetic variants influence the lipid profile and anthropometric variables early in life.

title: Influence of milk production systems and practices on somatic cell count and total bacterial count in western Paraná

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate milk quality for somatic cell count (SCC) analysis and total bacterial count (TBC) in agroecological production systems and conventional systems, relating them to the frequency of milking practices and types of facilities. The study was conducted in 2013 and 2014, in the western region of Paraná State, Brazil. We used a semi-structured questionnaire to identify management practices of producers in the 17 dairy systems (DS) in the city of Diamante d'Oeste and the 27 DS in Toledo. Milk sampling was performed monthly. Data were analyzed using two statistical methods. These were then used to create cross tabulation of groups with production systems and practices that can influence product quality. Cluster classification analysis allowed grouping of the initial 44 production systems into three homogeneous groups: Group 1, with better quality regarding the normative instruction 62 (NI62), with average values of SCC 407.37 (cells × 1000/mL) and TBC 210.50 (cfu × 1000/mL); Group 2, with SCC 328.50 (cells × 1000/mL) and TBC 699.75 (cfu × 1000/mL), both outside the NI62 parameters; and Group 3, with SCC 680.25 (cells × 1000/mL), considered low- and high-value TBC 1775.25 (cfu × 1000/mL), out of NI62. The results indicate that management practices and some other preventions adopted during milking are the determining factors of milk quality. Therefore, SCC and TBC levels are not determined by agroecological or conventional production systems, but rather, these levels are determined by the practices differentially adopted by the production systems.

title: Spatial-temporal analysis of the diet of a non-native fish in the Santa Cruz Reservoir, Brazilian semi-arid

description: Abstract Aim The diet of Plagioscion squamosissimus present in the Santa Cruz Reservoir, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, was investigated, evaluating the influences of spatial and temporal variations and abiotic factors in the utilization of food resources. Methods The samplings were performed quarterly between February 2011 and November 2014. Of the 525 specimens captured, 375 presented food items in the stomachs. The diet was determined using: (i) Feeding Index (IAi); (ii) and the graphical interpretation of the food strategy through non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analyzes, the differences in diet being tested from Permutational Multivariate Analyzes of Variance (PERMANOVA). To verify if environmental variables influence the Canonical Correspondence Analyzes (CCA) were used, using the data from the IAi the environmental data, being the significance of the axes tested through Monte Carlo simulations. Results The species feed mainly on items of animal origin, vegetable being a resource ingested accidentally. The diet was composed of shrimp, fish, insect, mollusk and vegetable, the latter rarely found. The shrimp was the main item (92.57%) and the insects (7.24%) accessory items. Spatial and temporal ordering demonstrated that the species didn’t present variation in diet composition, as well as a low association between diet and environmental variables. Conclusion P. squamosissimus is characterized as carcinophagous, due to the predominance of shrimp in its diet, evidencing that the species is adapted to the conditions offered by the Brazilian semi-arid environment.

title: Plant biometrics of malay, rose and water apple

description: Abstract Due to the lack of studies comparing Syzygium malaccensis(L) Meer e Perry, Syzygium aqueum Burm.f. and Syzygium jambos (L) Alston Syzygium in relation to the botanical genus Sygygium regarding the physical characteristics, the present research was conducted, aiming at biometrically characterizing each of the three species, as well as comparing them. The fruits were collected from the São Paulo State University (Unesp), School of Agricultural and Veterinarian Sciences, Jaboticabal. Syzygium plants were used for the evaluation of: fruit and seed masses (g); width and length of leaves (cm) and of seeds (cm); percentage of fruit pulp; length of leaf petiole (cm); and leaf area (cm2). Fifty fruits, leaves and seeds of each species were used, with 5 replicates of 10 samples each and the data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis and organized into frequency tables. For comparative purposes among the species, a blocks randomized design was adopted, being analyzed by the Tukey Test at 5% of probability. The malay and water apple present fruits with high yield of pulp. The fruit of the malay apple are light, with narrow diameter, medium length, broad seeds, narrow and small leaves, with small leaf area. The rose apple fruit present medium mass, width and length, with broad seeds, narrow leaves, medium length and small leaf area. The water apple fruit are light, broad, long, without seeds, with broad leaves, long and having medium leaf area. Comparing the three species of Syzygium studied, it can be concluded that the fruit of malay apple are the largest, but the highest percentage of pulp is found in the fruit of the water apple, due to the absence of seeds.

title: AFRICAN AND AFRO-BRAZILIAN CULTURE AND THE CHEMISTRY EDUCATION: STUDIES ON RACE AND GENDER INEQUALITIES AND SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION

description: ABSTRACT: According to CNPq data, women participate in practically all major areas of knowledge. However, they are majority in areas related to care and minority in the technological and exact areas. Here we analyzed the design and development of a Pedagogical Intervention (PI) entitled “Teaching Science and Black Identity: Studies on Hair Chemistry”. In this study, we intended to think about a science that isn’t for the universal subject, thus contributing to the formation of chemistry teachers, capable of operationalizing Law 10,639 considering the African diaspora in the Americas, as an alternative to evidence the contribution of black researchers in the construction of scientific knowledge. Our results demonstrate that PI represented the conscious contact with a non-hegemonic and Eurocentric science; fostered the dialogue between differences, questioned discourses that reinforced discriminations and stereotypes, intended pre-established contents and instituted processes for the constitution of teachers capable of (re)creating practices that articulate chemical knowledge and Africanities in chemistry teaching.

title: Practical approach to primary retroperitoneal masses in adults

description: Abstract Primary retroperitoneal masses constitute a heterogeneous group of uncommon lesions and represent a challenge due to overlapping imaging findings. Most are malignant lesions. Although they are more prevalent in adults, they can occur at any age. Such lesions are classified as primary when they do not originate from a specific retroperitoneal organ and are divided, according to the image findings, into two major groups: solid and cystic. The clinical findings are nonspecific and vary depending on the location of the lesion in relation to adjacent structures, as well as on its behavior. The main imaging methods used for staging and surgical planning, as well as for selecting the biopsy site and guiding the biopsy procedure, are computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In most cases, the treatment is challenging, because of the size of the lesions, vascular involvement, or involvement of adjacent organs. In this article, we present a review of the retroperitoneal anatomy and a practical approach to the main imaging features to be evaluated, with a view to the differential diagnosis, which can guide the clinical management.

title: EDUCATION: BETWEEN THE POTENTIALITIES AND CHALLENGES OF THE PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE

description: ABSTRACT: If the school curriculum is observed, it becomes obvious that knowledge is still hegemonically euro-centric, contributing to the unequal treatment in the schooling of the black population by not taking their history into account. In this sense, the inclusion of knowledge about the education of ethnic-racial relations and about Afro-Brazilian and African history and culture, led by the black movement, represents a political and pedagogical advance in the history of Brazilian school and education. Studies already carried out on the subject are also discussed, highlighting the announcements made to overcome the challenges that arise from and for this educational modality. The field chosen as the locus of analysis is the youth and adult education developed in a capital of southern Brazil.

title: The use of the notion of relation to knowledge (rapport au savoir) in the context of Mathematics Teaching: Mapping in bibliographic references

description: Abstract: This paper presents an initial sketch of the scientific production scenario about the notion of relation to the knowledge in the particular context of Mathematics Teaching. The nature of the study was exploratory, and the methodology used was the mapping in educational research. In the general mapping, 241 bibliographical references were cataloged. Of this total, 68 references are linked to the context of Mathematics Teaching, which corresponds to 28%. As a main result, we highlight an initial map with the descriptions of those who used the notion in thesis and dissertations, who were the advisors and the graduate programs in which these productions were developed, who were the authors who published scientific articles and in which journals. We believe, finally, that such information can be used as relevant coordinates to those who intend to study and use the notion of relation to knowledge in their investigations in the context of Mathematics Teaching.
