title: Weed Flora of Fayoum (Egypt), One of the Oldest Agricultural Regions in the World

description: ABSTRACT: Fayoum region is the most fertile agricultural land in Egypt and one of the oldest agricultural city in the world. The present study aimed to determine its weed flora composition and its distribution through different habitats. Results recorded 175 species of vascular plants belonging to 124 genera and 35 families distributed in eight habitats. The richest families were Poaceae, Asteraceae (Compositae) and Fabaceae (Leguminoseae), while genera with the highest number of species were Euphorbia, Amaranthus and Cyperus. Cynodon dactylon and Alhagi graecorum were the present species, recorded at all habitats. Old cultivated lands recorded the highest species number followed by orchard habitats, on the contrast road side and wasteland habitats recorded the lowest species numbers. Therophytes were the dominant life form, while Phanerophytes were the smallest group in this study, 5%. The highest Jaccard similarity index was recorded between healthy land and orchard habitats, which supported also by ward classification.

title: Comments on blogs for teachers of English: an appraisal analysis

description: ABSTRACT This article aims at presenting an analysis of the subsystem of Attitude in comments from participants of two blogs for teachers of English and the possible responses of solidarity presented by the interlocutors. The blogs were selected by the occurrence order in Google website and also for containing evaluative comments on the subject treated in the post. The assumptions of Systemic-Functional Linguistics (Halliday 1994; Halliday & Matthiessen 2004) in the comprehensiveness of the Appraisal System and Attitude subsystem (Martin & White 2005; Martin & Rose 2003) were used both in the description and interpretation of the data found. It is a qualitative and interpretative research in which social and interactional aspects are taken into account in the discussion of the results. The data pointed to some evaluative alignment between the blog participants and the bloggers through the choices of the intensified lexicogrammatical elements used in the evaluations and in the solidarity responses made.

title: Investigation of rs1800469 and rs1800468 Polymorphisms of the TGF-β1 Gene in Women with Pre-eclampsia

description: Abstract Objectives: to verify the contribution of polymorphisms rs1800469 and rs1800468 of the TGF-β1 gene and the risk factors for the pre-eclampsia development. Methods: this is a case-control study with 257 women from the Uberaba region of Minas Gerais were selected, 88 of them were in the pre-eclampsia group and 169 in the control group. Genotyping was performed by allelic discrimination using the real-time PCR technique. The odds ratio and the 95% confidence interval were used to evaluate the probability of the polymorphisms studied contributing for the pre-eclampsia development. The logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relation among family recurrence, smoking, primiparity and the presence of polymorphic alleles and susceptibility of preeclampsia. Results: no association was found between polymorphisms rs1800469 and rs1800468 of the TGF-β1 gene and pre-eclampsia. The logistic regression analysis was statistically significant for family recurrence, showing that women with a family history of pre-eclampsia and primiparity are at an increased risk of developing the disease. Conclusions: no association was found between polymorphisms rs1800469 and rs1800468 of the TGF-β1 and pre-eclampsia gene. Factors such as family history and primiparity were associated to the risk of developing pre-eclampsia.

title: Proposal for a structured computed tomography report in the evaluation of pancreatic neoplasms based on expert opinions

description: Abstract Objective: To create a structured computed tomography (CT) report for the systematic evaluation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), based on the opinions of clinicians and surgeons. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study in which we applied a 21-item questionnaire to experts in pancreatic diseases in order to create a model of a structured abdominal CT report. The questionnaire addressed the location and size of PDACs, as well as their effects on adjacent structures and on the vasculature, together with metastases. We used a Likert scale to determine which of those parameters should be included in the model. Results: A total of 18 experts (12 surgeons and 6 clinicians) from 9 institutions completed the questionnaire. All of the experts agreed that the following (if present) should be described in the CT report on a PDAC: the degree of enhancement; the diameter and location of the lesion; pancreatic duct obstruction; biliary dilatation; pancreatic atrophy; liver metastases; peritoneal nodules; ascites; lymph node enlargement; and invasion of adjacent structures. More than 80% of the experts agreed that the report should also describe the relationship between the PDAC and the surrounding vasculature. Conclusion: We have developed a template for a CT report on patients with PDAC, based on the opinions of experts involved in the treatment of such patients.

title: Discrepancies in the evaluation of the safety of the human papillomavirus vaccine

description: Despite being more than ten years since its introduction, global acceptance to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is still low. The immunogenetic background of the host, and HPV antigen recognition, are important in natural HPV infection, and should be taken into account in the understanding of adverse autoimmune reactions by the HPV vaccine in certain groups. There is no doubt of the benefit of vaccines in the reduction of the incidence of infectious diseases, and in the case of HPV, the prevention of persistent infection that would lead to cervical cancer. Side-effects, however, should be closely monitored and reported without any bias, to ensure that the benefits of vaccines outweigh the risks of adverse reactions. In this article we bring the attention on certain adverse effects of the vaccine against HPV that have not been well studied as they are not well defined. We also compare the different approaches on HPV vaccine policies regarding its adverse reactions in countries like Japan and Colombia, vs. the recommendations issued by the WHO.

title: Association between human breast milk and retinopathy of prematurity

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the possible protective effect of breast milk against retinopathy of prematurity by comparing the amount of breast milk received by patients who developed retinopathy of prematurity and those who did not and to determine both the required minimum amount of breast milk and the time of life during which neonates need to receive breast milk for this effect to be significant. Methods: Cohort study of newborns with a birth weight of &lt;1500 g or gestational age of &lt;32 weeks, or both, born between January 2011 and October 2014 and hospitalized within the first 24 h of life in the Hospital Criança Conceição Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. Results: The prevalence of retinopathy of prematurity of any degree was 31% (100 of 323 patients) and that of severe retinopathy of prematurity was of 9% (29 of 323 patients). The median amounts of breast milk received daily by patients with and without retinopathy of prematurity were 4.9 mL/kg (interquartile range, 0.3-15.4) and 10.2 mL/kg (1.5-25.5), respectively. The amount of breast milk received in the first 6 weeks of life was inversely associated with the incidence of both retinopathy of prematurity of any degree and severe retinopathy of prematurity in the univariate analyses. However, the statistical significance was maintained only during the sixth week of life in a per-period multivariate analysis controlling for confounding factors. Conclusions: Small amounts of breast milk are inadequate to prevent retinopathy of prematurity in premature newborns at risk for the disease.

title: The rhetorical structure of the first Teletandem Oral Session

description: ABSTRACT This study focuses on teletandem, a virtual and collaborative learning environment in which university students who are learning a foreign language meet regularly via synchronous communication tools in order to learn the language of one another (Telles 2006). In this article, we aim to investigate the rhetorical structure of the first 15 minutes of ten initial teletandem oral sessions (iTOS), namely, the first skype meeting between the partners. The results point to the standardization of discourse in the iTOS and highlights the association between rhetorical structure and learning scenario (Foucher 2010).

title: Dataset for: Sparse periodicity-based auditory features explain human performance in a spatial multi-talker auditory scene analysis task

description: Human listeners robustly decode speech information from a talker of interest that is embedded in a mixture of spatially distributed interferers. A relevant question is which time-frequency segments of the speech are predominantly used by a listener to solve such a complex Auditory Scene Analysis task. A recent psychoacoustic study investigated the relevance of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) components of a target signal on speech intelligibility in a spatial multi-talker situation. For this, a three-talker stimulus was manipulated in the spectro-temporal domain such that target speech time-frequency units below a variable SNR threshold (SNR<sub>crit</sub>) were discarded while keeping the interferers unchanged. The psychoacoustic data indicate that only target components at and above a local SNR of about 0 dB contribute to intelligibility. The present study applies an auditory scene analysis “glimpsing” model to the same manipulated stimuli. Model data are found to be similar to the human data, supporting the notion of “glimpsing”, i.e., that salient speech-related information is predominantly used by the auditory system to decode speech embedded in a mixture of sounds, at least for the tested conditions of three overlapping speech signals. This implies that perceptually relevant auditory information is sparse and may be processed with low computational effort, which is relevant for neurophysiological research of scene analysis and novelty processing in the auditory system.

title: LIBRO TV FUJIMORI.pdf

description: La investigación aborda de manera holística el papel de la televisión durante el gobierno del ex presidente Alberto Fujimori. Se analiza la producción, circulación y consumo de las formas simbólicas que han originado la variación de nuestro perfil imaginario social constructivo, creativo y de participación social por uno escéptico, amoral y resignado, lo cual representa un retraso socio-cultural que incide de modo determinante en el futuro de nuestra sociedad. <b> </b> <b> </b>A partir de un nuevo enfoque transdisciplinario psico-socio-cultural-semiótico, se aborda la complejidad del manejo de la televisión, visualizando la dinámica del poder hegemonizada por el Servicio de Inteligencia, SIN al cual se subordinaron otros poderes del estado que fueron utilizados para ejercer diversas medidas coercitivas sobre la televisión. Medio que, a su vez, sirvió para legitimar el poder de Alberto Fujimori a través de la instauración del sistema del simulacro en la información y la degradación de formatos masivos populares.
