title: LANGUAGE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IN THE OSWALDO CRUZ INSTITUTE 1900-1930

description: Abstract The medical literature consumed and produced by the Oswaldo Cruz Institute and the circulation of its personnel in foreign institutions from its beginnings in 1900 through the Vargas coup d’état in Brazil in 1930 testify to the complex, multilingual and international nature of scientific networking in and beyond the belle époque and challenge notions of behavior associated with colonial economic models. To explore the parameters of the Institute’s early organizational culture with respect to language, three of its publications from this period will be examined: a 1911 promotional booklet in German, which details the Institute’s journal holdings and the publications of its researchers; a 1929 English-language travelogue of leprosy treatment centers worldwide; and the journal Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (1909-), which published articles in five languages during this period. The results indicate that the Institute’s flexible, avidly multilingual language policy, partially the result of Brazil’s peripheral, neutral political situation, led to a very strong multilateral position in the scientific community that provided both visibility and recognition as a full peer in the then-internationally emerging field of Tropical Medicine.

title: Propentofylline reverses delayed remyelination in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

description: Objective The diabetic state induced by streptozotocin injection is known to impair oligodendroglial remyelination in the rat brainstem following intracisternal injection with the gliotoxic agent ethidium bromide (EB). In such experimental model, propentofylline (PPF) recently showed to improve myelin repair, probably due to its neuroprotective, antiinflammatory and antioxidant effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PPF administration in diabetic rats submitted to the EB-demyelinating model. Materials and methods Adult male rats, diabetic or not, received a single injection of 10 microlitres of 0.1% EB solution into the cisterna pontis. For induction of diabetes mellitus the streptozotocin-diabetogenic model was used (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal route – IP). Some diabetic rats were treated with PPF (12.5 mg/kg/day, IP route) during the experimental period. The animals were anesthetized and perfused from 7 to 31 days after EB injection and brainstem sections were collected for analysis of the lesions by light and transmission electron microscopy. Results Diabetic rats injected with EB showed larger amounts of myelin-derived membranes in the central areas of the lesions and considerable delay in the remyelinating process played by surviving oligodendrocytes and invading Schwann cells after the 15th day. On the other hand, diabetic rats that received PPF presented lesions similar to those of non-diabetic animals, with rapid remyelination at the edges of the lesion site and fast clearance of myelin debris from the central area. Conclusion The administration of PPF apparently reversed the impairment in remyelination induced by the diabetic state. Arch Endocrinol Metab. 2015;59(1):47-53

title: Lithologies, structure and basement-cover relationships in the schist belt of the Dom Feliciano Belt in Uruguay

description: ABSTRACT: This work is the result of a multiyear effort to use field geology to describe lithologies, to establish contact relationships and to create a sketch of the tectonic evolution of the Meso- to Neoproterozoic metasedimentary successions within the Schist Belt of the Dom Feliciano Belt. This low-grade metamorphic cover rests on the high-grade metamorphic basement of the La China and Las Tetas complexes. This basement is Archean-Paleoproterozoic in age. The Schist Belt is overlapped unconformably by the Barriga Negra formation. The Lavalleja complex and the Barriga Negra formation both deformed together during the D2 deformation event (~ 570 -540 Ma), but the Barriga Negra only partially recorded the D2 transpressive event, whereas the Lavalleja complex was affected by both the D1 tangential event and the D2 event. Event D1 would have developed a fold nappe with vergence to the south. This hypothesis is supported by different structures: (i) recumbent and upright folds oriented E-W, (ii) subhorizontal mylonitic foliation in marbles (calc-schists), (iii) stretching lineations plunging towards the SW in metaconglomerates of the Las Tetas Complex, and (iv) a reworking of the subhorizontal foliation parallel to the Sarandí del Yí strike-slip shear zone.

title: Racist algorithms: the hyper-ritualization of black women’s solitude in digital image databases

description: Abstract Recognizing the importance of the discussions on algorithms in search engines and their possible discriminatory and racist biases, this paper analyzes three digital image databases and their results for the keywords “family”, “black family” and “white family”. Based on Erving Goffman’s (1979) concept of “hyper-ritualization” of gender, this article studies whether the imagetic perspective of family (woman, man, son and daughter) applies to the black family context or, on the contrary, contributes to the “solitude of the black woman”. Analyzing comparatively more than 2500 images, it was noticed that black women are more represented alone with their children than white women; the keyword “family” results in an expressive majority of white families; and the search for “white family” reveals more “infiltrated” results of black families as evidence of racialization of the exploration of the search algorithm, which considers whiteness as normative and neutral.

title: “AMERICANISM” AND THE CREATION OF THE SPANISH SUBJECT IN THE BRAZILIAN SECONDARY EDUCATION (1917-1926)

description: Abstract This article has investigated the contributions of “Americanism” to the creation of the Spanish Language subject in the Brazilian secondary education, the immediate aims of the institutionalization of Spanish as a school subject and the difficulties of such process in Brazil from 1917 to 1926. The study has been based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of cultural history and especially on the history of school subjects in the dialogue with André Chervel (1990). The analysis has evidenced that despite the introduction of the Spanish Language teaching as an exchange of kindness with the Government of Uruguay that has not aggregated any other aim to the teaching process.

title: Physiological quality of soybean seeds produced in four edaphoclimatic regions of Santa Catarina

description: Abstract:The production of soybeans in the state of Santa Catarina is quite significant in the national context, since the state is recognized for producing seeds with high standards of physiological quality, due to the use of modern technologies and favorable climatic conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological quality of soybean seeds produced by major companies in the state of Santa Catarina, analyzed in three seasons: harvesting (reception at UBS), after processing and at the time of sale. The experiment was conducted in the state of Santa Catarina, in the main regions and companies producing commercial soybean seeds: Xanxerê (companies A, B and C), Abelardo Luz (companies D and E), and Campus Novos (companies F and G), in addition to Canoinhas, which was evaluated with a single producer (company H). Data analysis and interpretation of the results showed that the soybean seeds produced in different regions have adequate quality for sowing and germination within the standards required for marketing, except the BRS 295 cultivars and Don Mario 7.0i company "F".

title: Impacts of Volvo Ocean Race - Itajaí Stopover: a post-event analysis of the perception of the residents of the city of Itajaí (SC)

description: Abstract Volvo Ocean Race (VOR) is a worldwide mega event, with potential to attract public and investors to the different countries that host it, being an important attraction for nautical tourism. After 2012/2013 and 2014/2015 editions, and just about to host one of the 2017/2018 season events, this study aimed to analyze the perception of the residents of the city of Itajaí (SC), after the Itajaí Stopover (event reception in the city), relating to the economic, sociocultural and environmental impacts generated by VOR. The applied method followed a descriptive alignment, with data predominantly quantitative and survey procedure applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 484 cases. For the analysis, besides basic descriptive statistics, the ANOVA test was applied to identify average differences between the different respondent profiles. The results showed that for most residents, VOR had positive impacts, independently of the proximity level of their households to the Villa hosting the Itajaí Stopover. Gender, age, instruction and income groups also tend to perceive distinctly the analyzed variables and dimensions.

title: From Echocardiographic Evaluation to Biomarkers Measurement: The Role of Myocardial Dysfunction in Mortality Associated with Sepsis

description: Abstract Sepsis remains the leading cause of mortality and critical illness worldwide. Myocardial dysfunction is one of the most clinically relevant manifestations of sepsis and results from a complex interaction among genetic, molecular, metabolic, and structural changes. Despite the prominence given to the occurrence of systolic dysfunction during sepsis, the association between diastolic dysfunction and mortality is controversial, while diastolic dysfunction and right ventricular dysfunction are identified as independent predictors of mortality in the most recent studies. Elevation of biomarkers during sepsis may result from several mechanisms, and although the role of the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal portion of its prohormone (NT-proBNP) as independent predictors of mortality is well defined, the same cannot be said about cardiac troponins due to conflicting results among currently available studies. The objective of the present review is to discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms of myocardial dysfunction induced by sepsis in adults and the role of echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers as tools for prognostic evaluation in this clinical setting.

title: BIOLOGICAL FERTILIZER AND COVER PLANTS ON SOIL ATTRIBUTES AND MAIZE YIELD

description: ABSTRACT Maize is an important crop for Brazil's economy. This species is, in general, grown as monoculture, making it necessary the use of conservationist practices for soil management and to favor crop development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of biological fertilizer and cover plants on soil properties and maize yield. The experiment was conducted in a dystrophic Latossolo Vermelho (Oxisol), in the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 crop seasons in Tangará da Serra, MT, Brazil. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, using a double factorial arrangement with an additional control: two biological fertilizer conditions, three soil cover conditions, and a control (forest fragment). Seeds of Pennisetum glaucum and Crotalaria ochroleuca were sowed on October 2015 and 2016. Maize seeds were sowed on December 2015 and 2016, with subsequent application of 150 L ha-1 of biological fertilizer. The soil cultivated with maize had greater chemical quality than that under the forest fragment, however, the forest fragment soil had greater microbiological quality. The use of biological fertilizer and cover plants increased the fertility and microbiological quality of the soil cultivated with maize. The use of cover plants increased the maize yield in both crop seasons. The use of biological fertilizer and soil cover plants (P. glaucum and C. ochroleuca) improved the soil chemical and microbiological quality.
