title: @GREENGODICTIONARY: AUTHORSHIP, RESPONSIBILITY, CARNIVALIZATION AND LANGUAGE TEACHING-LEARNING ON AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to look at two carousel posts published in December 2020 on the account @greengodictionary through the lens of Bakhtinian-based theorizations (BAKHTIN/VOLOSHÍNOV, 2014; BAKHTIN, 2011, 2012; SOBRAL, 2009; PAULA; STAFUZZA, 2011). The @greengodictionary is housed in the social network, Instagram, configured here as a sphere of human activity. The study is based on documentary research and falls within the qualitative research perspective (BELL; WATERS, 2014; GRANT, 2019). The analysis of these documents points, within the account domain, to processes of responsible and active responsive authorship (responsiveness) of enunciative acts permeated with carnivalized discursive practices in the English and Brazilian Portuguese languages. It also seeks to assess the contributions to language teaching-learning of the authoritative, responsive and carnivalized enunciative projects identified.

title: Ophthalmic parameters in adult Pomeranian dogs

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to establish ophthalmic parameters in the Pomeranian dog breed. Schirmer tear test (STT), tear breakup time test (TBUTT), Jones test (JT), aesthesiometry, biomicroscopy, tonometry, non-contact specular microscopy (SM), ophthalmoscopy and ultrasonography (US) were carried out 48 eyes of 24 male and female Pomeranian dogs from a breeding kennel. Descriptive statistics was applied for data analysis. Means and standard errors found for STT, TBUT, JT, esthesiometry and tonometry were 24.310±0.448mm/min, 14.570±0.406s., 8.420±1.571min, 3.667±0.157cm and 17.960±0.697mmHg, respectively. For biomicroscopy, 43.75% of the eyes presented caruncle trichiasis, 25% chromodacryorrhea, 25% medial entropion and 10,42% distichiasis. SM showed endothelial cells density of 1958.285±36.760 cells/mm². For hexagonality, endothelial cells area and central corneal thickness were 62.229±2.183%, 519.231±9.853mm², 0.567±0.006mm, respectively. Ophthalmoscopy presented a pattern described in other breeds. Amelanotic fundus was reported in 8.33% of the eyes. The US means and standard errors for axial length of the eyeball, lens thickness, anterior and vitreous chamber depth were 16.859±0.148mm, 6.651±0.081mm, 2.673±0.091mm and 7.485±0.101mm. Mild changes in the lacrimal evaluation parameters were influenced by eyelid changes in STT type I. Increased corneal sensitivity was observed in the breed.

title: Hemorrhagic Versus Ischemic Risk in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation on Hemodialysis

description: Abstract Background Hemodialysis (HD) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have a particularly high risk of stroke and bleeding, but no high-quality evidence-based recommendations exist to properly manage these patients. Objectives We aim to evaluate the ischemic versus the hemorrhagic risk in a HD population with AF. Methods We selected incident patients that started hemodialysis between 2011 and 2015. All patients that had AF before HD, or developed AF during the follow-up, were included. Both CHA2DS2 -VASC and HAS-BLED scores were calculated at the time of beginning of HD or AF diagnosis and correlated with the outcomes using a logistic regression model. The outcomes were hemorrhagic events, ischemic events and death related to any of these events. A p-value &lt; 0.05 was set as statistically significant. Results Forty-six patients were included. Most of them had had AF before they started hemodialysis. Twenty-two patients were on oral anticoagulation (OAC). There was no significant difference between the incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic events, regardless of the use of OAC. Previous stroke, transient ischemic attack, and thromboembolic event significantly increased the risk of an ischemic event (OR 6.78, p=0.028). Conclusions In this population, we did not observe any difference between the incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic events, which was also true in patients with OAC. Therefore, the benefit of OAC in such patients remains questionable. However, patients with previous stroke, transient ischemic attack, or thromboembolic event seem to have a higher risk of new ischemic events and might benefit from anticoagulation.

title: Detection of Fur, AmoA and pvcAB genes in Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from aquatic organisms and impact on bacterial growth under different iron concentrations

description: ABSTRACT Infection caused by Aeromonas brings great harm to fish farming. Among the factors associated with bacterial pathogenesis, iron uptake can contribute to the survival and virulence of bacteria within hosts. The aim of this study was to check the presence of genes related to iron uptake in Aeromonas hydrophila deriving from aquatic organisms in the São Francisco Valley and associate the presence of these genes with the ability to grow in media containing different concentrations of iron. The DNAs of 41 isolates were extracted and used in PCRs to verify the presence of the Fur, AmoA and pvcAB genes related to iron uptake. The growth of the isolates belonging to different genetic profiles was verified in culture media containing different iron concentrations. Two isolates were positive for the presence of the Fur gene, seven for the AmoA gene and two for the pvcAB gene. The growth test showed that the low availability of iron did not interfere in the growth of the isolates, nor in the isolate that did not contain any of the genes evaluated in this study, suggesting that the iron uptake’s mechanisms of the tested isolates may be related to other genes and proteins.

title: Evaluating the relationship between water quality and water treatment costs with land use change at multiple spatial scales: a case study of watersheds in southern Bahia, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The current global loss of biodiversity has threatened the provision of drinking water for public supply, mainly due to the loss of native forests. Thus, understanding the impacts of vegetation cover reductions in altered landscapes by human activities is an important action to ensure water security. This study evaluated the relationship between water quality and treatment costs with land use intensifications of six water catchment points for public supply in southern Bahia, Brazil. Six spatial scales were considered, the catchment point and its surroundings (local), four riparian zone buffers (30, 50, 100, and 200 m), and the watershed. A selection of models was conducted to determine the scale at which landscape intensification best explains treatment costs and water quality. By using a principal component analysis in each spatial scale, a gradient of forest replacement by other non-forest uses (PC1) was generated and used as an explanatory variable. As a result, land use intensification at the 100 m riparian zone was the best model for both response variables. Therefore, our study suggests that actions for conservation and restoration of water resources in our study area should consider a riparian zone of at least 100 m on each side of the water bodies to reduce treatment costs in a medium-to-short term. Also, recovering forest cover is a crucial action to manage riparian zones and watersheds.

title: First report of Hyssuridae (Isopoda: Anthuroidea) from Japan, with the description of a new Kupellonura species

description: Abstract We describe Kupellonura tamago sp. nov., collected from the North Pacific off the southern coast of the Boso Peninsula, Japan, at a depth of 445-407 m. This is the first record of Hyssuridae not only for Japan but also for the Temperate Northern Pacific ecoregion. Female K. tamago closely resembles Kupellonura gidgee Poore and Lew Ton, 1988 and Kupellonura indonesica Annisaqois and Wägele, 2021 in the shape of the uropodal exopod but differs from them in having a broader uropodal exopod (length/width ratio 1.47), a broader uropodal endopod (length/width ratio 1.64), and the telson margins smooth. We transfer Kupellonura flexibilis (Pasternak, 1982), originally described in Ananthura Barnard, 1925 but provisionally transferred to Kupellonura Barnard, 1925, to Anthelura Norman and Stebbing, 1886 in Antheluridae, as Anthelura flexibilis (Pasternak, 1982) comb. nov.

title: Effect of season and housing system on hematochemical attributes in rabbits of Southern Punjab, Pakistan

description: ABSTRACT The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of season and housing system on hematochemical attributes of rabbits in Southern Punjab, Pakistan. Adult healthy rabbits (n=30) were divided into two groups of equal size (n=15). Group I was housed in a modern cage system and group II in traditional colony system for a period of one year. Blood samples of rabbits from both groups were collected in the summer and the winter seasons and analyzed for various hematochemical attributes. Hematochemical attributes including red blood cell (RBC) count, hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), total white blood cell (WBC) count, mixed cells (MID), granulocytes (GRA), glucose and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were lowered significantly (P&lt;0.05) in the summer in relation to the winter, while mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), creatinine, and cholesterol level were significantly (P&lt;0.05) higher during the summer season. Biochemical attributes as cholesterol, triglycerides and globulin were significantly (P&lt;0.05) lower in the caged rabbits. In conclusion, the summer season caused a significant decrease in most of the hematochemical attributes whereas housing system did not affect most of the hematochemical attributes of the rabbits under the climatic conditions of Southern Punjab, Pakistan.

title: Magnetic resonance and dopamine transporter imaging for the diagnosis of Parkinson´s disease: a narrative review

description: ABSTRACT Background: the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) can be challenging, especially in the early stages, albeit its updated and validated clinical criteria. Recent developments on neuroimaging in PD, altogether with its consolidated role of excluding secondary and other neurodegenerative causes of parkinsonism, provide more confidence in the diagnosis across the different stages of the disease. This review highlights current knowledge and major recent advances in magnetic resonance and dopamine transporter imaging in aiding PD diagnosis. Objective: This study aims to review current knowledge about the role of magnetic resonance imaging and neuroimaging of the dopamine transporter in diagnosing Parkinson's disease. Methods: We performed a non-systematic literature review through the PubMed database, using the keywords "Parkinson", “magnetic resonance imaging”, “diffusion tensor”, “diffusion-weighted”, “neuromelanin”, “nigrosome-1”, “single-photon emission computed tomography”, “dopamine transporter imaging”. The search was restricted to articles written in English, published between January 2010 and February 2022. Results: The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease remains a clinical diagnosis. However, new neuroimaging biomarkers hold promise for increased diagnostic accuracy, especially in earlier stages of the disease. Conclusion: Future validation of new imaging biomarkers bring the expectation of an increased neuroimaging role in the diagnosis of PD in the following years.
