title: Root canal dressings for revascularization influence in vitro mineralization of apical papilla cells

description: Abstract Endodontic revascularization is based on cell recruitment into the necrotic root canal of immature teeth after chemical disinfection. The clinical outcome depends on the ability of surviving cells from the apical tissue to differentiate and promote hard tissue deposition inside the dentinal walls. Objective To investigate the effect of calcium hydroxide (CH) and modified triple antibiotic paste (mTAP – ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and cefaclor) on the viability and mineralization potential of apical papilla cells (APC) in vitro . Material and Methods APC cultures were kept in contact with CH or mTAP (250-1000 µg/mL) for 5 days, after which cell viability was assessed using 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Next, APCs were subjected to CH or mTAP at 250 µg/mL for 5 days before inducing the differentiation assay. After 14 and 21 days, calcium deposition was assessed by the Alizarin Red S staining method, followed by elution and quantification using spectrophotometry. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test. Results CH induced cell proliferation, whereas mTAP showed significant cytotoxicity at all concentrations tested. APC treated with CH demonstrated improved mineralization capacity at 14 days, while, for mTAP, significant reduction on the mineralization rate was observed for both experimental periods (14 and 21 days). Conclusion Our findings showed that CH induces cell proliferation and improves early mineralization, whereas mTAP was found cytotoxic and reduced the mineralization potential in vitro of APCs.

title: The characteristics of national and international research on controversial themes in Science Education

description: Abstract In this paper, we analyze the qualitative databases of national and international research on controversial themes in Science Education. In methodological terms, we carefully examined 120 scientific publications by accessing the Proceedings of the editions of Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (ENPEC) (National Meeting of Research in Science Education) and the files of the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). The research results indicated a disquieting gap in the production of knowledge related to Elementary Education, especially concerning the early years in both databases, as well as the concentration of controversies on topics in the area of Biology when compared to the areas of Physics and Chemistry. We also highlight the emergence of a new perspective of analysis, focusing on emotions, in a number of international papers, which may also constitute an issue of interest to national academic research in the future.

title: Twenty-four-month clinical performance of different universal adhesives in etch-and-rinse, selective etching and self-etch application modes in NCCL – a randomized controlled clinical trial

description: Abstract Objective The aim of this randomized, controlled, prospective clinical trial was to evaluate the performances of two different universal adhesives and one etch-rinse adhesive for restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Material and Methods Twenty patients with at least seven NCCLs were enrolled. Lesions were divided into seven groups according to adhesive systems and application modes: GSE: GLUMA Universal-self-etch, GSL: GLUMA Universal-selective etching, GER: GLUMA Universal-etch-and-rinse, ASE: All-Bond Universal-self-etch, ASL: All-Bond Universal-selective etching, AER: All-Bond Universal-etch-and-rinse, SBE (Control): Single Bond2-etch-and-rinse. A total of 155 NCCLs were restored with a nano hybrid composite (Tetric N-Ceram). Restorations were scored with regard to retention, marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, recurrent caries and post-operative sensitivity using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria after one week, 6, 12 and 24 months. Statistical evaluations were performed using Chi-square tests (p=0.05). Results The recall rate was 81.9% after the 24-month follow-up. The cumulative retention rates for self-etch groups (GSE: 72.2%, ASE:75%) were significantly lower than other experimental groups (GSL: 93.7%, GER: 100%, ASL: 94.1%, AER: 100%, SBE: 100%) at the 24-month follow-up (p&lt;0.05). Regarding marginal adaptation and marginal discoloration, GSE and ASE groups demonstrated more bravo scores after 6 and 12-month observations but differences were not significant (p&gt;0.05). Only one restoration from ASL group demonstrated post-operative sensitivity at 6 and 12-month observations. No secondary caries was observed on the restorations at any recall. At the end of 24-month observations, no significant differences were detected among groups regarding any of the criteria assessed, except retention. Conclusion GLUMA Universal and All-Bond Universal showed better results in etch-and-rinse and selective etching mode compared to the self-etch mode regarding retention. Etch-and-rinse and selective etching application modes of the current universal adhesives tended to provide better clinical outcomes considering the criteria evaluated at the end of 24-month evaluation.

title: AGRONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF RADISH GENOTYPES UNDER DIFFERENT IRRIGATION DEPTHS

description: ABSTRACT In radish production, the choice of proper genotypes and irrigation regime is of great importance to achieve success. In light of this, the current study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of a few radish genotypes under different irrigation strategies. The plants were grown in the city of Unaí - MG, in Brazil, under field conditions, and during two cycles, one of 40 days (from February 28 to April 8, 2015) and other of 51 days (from May 9 to June 28, 2015). The experimental design was a randomized block design in a split-plot arrangement with four replications. The treatments consisted of four irrigation strategies (50, 75, 100, and 125% of crop evapotranspiration - ETc) applied by a dripping irrigation system, while subplots consisted of three radish cultivars (Comet, Saxa, and Crimson Giant). We evaluated the following parameters: root system depth, leaf chlorophyll content, shoot fresh matter, diameter and length of tuberous root, number, and mass of commercial and non-commercial tuberous roots, and water use efficiency. All the radish genotypes showed no differences for agronomic characteristics. Under Brazilian Cerrado conditions, the most suitable irrigation strategy for radish crops is 100% of ETc.

title: Ichthyofauna marine of the Island of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil: checklist with comments on the species

description: Abstract: This study aimed to present a checklist of marine fishes from coastal environments of the Island of Santa Catarina, including comments on the zoogeographic affinities, conservation status of each species, and functional groups. A total of 169 fish species belonging to 30 orders and 58 families were recorded. The most speciose families were Sciaenidae, Carangidae and, Engraulidae, representing 26,62% of the recorded species. Anchoa was the richest genus, followed by Sphoeroides and Cynoscion. Most of the species have their distribution limited to the western Atlantic, and two groups of fish were distinguished according to the species distributions: 1) species occurring in the Caribbean and in the Brazilian Province; and 2) Transatlantic species. Thirteen species are critically threatened, 10 are overexploited on the Brazilian coast, and 2 are threatened by extinction. Most of the species are either marine stragglers or marine migrants, and most of them are zoobenthivores, piscivores, or both.

title: Dropout or mobility: the concept and the reality in a licentiate degree

description: Abstract: Considering the significant dropout of students in the first year of the Sciences - Licentiate Degree of the Federal University of São Paulo and the socio-political scenario of the expansion of higher education in the country, we problematize the use of the concept of avoidance to refer to this premature exit. Through action research, with the participation of students and researchers, we collected data, from 2011 to 2016, in online questionnaires and field diaries. Our results indicate an inadequacy or a permanent need for conceptual precision in relation to the invariant "evasion" component, since the early departure of students was not only a result of the abandonment of the commitment to the studies due to school failure. Differently from what is described in part of the literature and in institutional actions at various levels, students, considering mobility, precarious conditions and work-related pressures, change their options of study preventively.

title: Alternatives to increase the red color of the peel in ‘Daiane’ and ‘Venice’ apples

description: Abstract This study aimed evaluate the effect of biostimulants, foliar fertilizers and ethephon on the red color in the peel of ‘Daiane’ and ‘Venice’ apples. The experiments were conducted in Caçador/SC, during 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons. In 2015/2016, the treatments were: Control; Biostimulant I; Foliar fertilizer I + Foliar fertilizer II; Biostimulant II and KCl. In 2016/2017, was included the Ethephon treatment. In 2016/2017, Biostimulant I, Foliar fertilizer I + Foliar fertilizer II and Biostimulant II increased the percentage of ‘Daiane’ and ‘Venice’ apples with greater red peel cover, without affecting the quality and maturity of the fruits. In both cultivars, ethephon was treatment that promoted a higher percentage of apples in the category above 80% of red color. Ethephon increased red color intensity of ‘Daiane’ and ‘Venice’ apples, anthocyanin content, starch index, ethylene production and yellowing of background color of the fruits. The red coloration of ‘Venice’ apple peels is enhanced with ethephon, Biostimulant I and Foliar fertilizer I + Foliar fertilizer II and Daiane apples with ethephon, Foliar fertilizer I + Foliar fertilizer II and Biostimulant II.

title: A botanical content analysis under the Science-Technology-Society (STS) approach in Biology high-school textbooks

description: Abstract: This work aimed to ascertain the botanical contents in Biology high-school textbooks, analyzing if they match the Science-Technology-Society (STS) approach. According to official evaluative documents and the STS theoretical referential approach, categories were stablished through content analysis. The initial, principal, and complementary contents, as well as the exercises were classified. There was concern with adapting the content in the books to official documents and showing aspects related to teaching under the STS approach. However, the main content in these books still prioritizes conceptual teaching. A written reformulation of these books is essential, especially in their main content, so that a differentiated teaching style, such as teaching under the STS approach, can effectively contribute to the formation of critical and active citizens in society, including the Scientific Literacy development of students.

title: Life cycle assessment of Municipal Construction and Demolition Waste Management System of Campinas Metropolitan Region

description: ABSTRACT The absence or inefficiency of Municipal Construction and Demolition Waste Management Systems (MCDWMS) may cause environmental impacts, which need a systematic evaluation, considering the local reality. There are few studies on the environmental impacts’ quantification of construction and demolition waste (CDW) management. Thus, in this work, MCDWMS’ environmental performance of the municipalities in the metropolitan region of Campinas was evaluated based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. The LCA study was modeled using the SimaPro 8.2.0, and the environmental impacts were evaluated by the CML baseline 2000 method, considering the categories of global warming, human toxicity, photochemical oxidation, acidification and eutrophication. When comparing the current environmental performance with the scenario that includes a recycling rate of 70% of CDW Class A (goal established in the Solid Waste Plan of São Paulo State), the environmental impacts were reduced in 22%. However, when analyzing the scenarios individually for each municipality, it was verified that due to the transport distances, some municipalities did not present environmental benefits resulting from recycling. These results demonstrate that recycling should not be the first option in the MCDWMS, and that the adoption of source reduction and reuse of waste within the scope of CDW management is urgent. These results may support the decision-making process in CDW management systems, as currently many Brazilian municipalities are planning the implementation of recycling facilities.

title: INCIDENCE OF FUNGI IN MOMBASA GRASS SEEDS DURING THE STAGES OF THE SEED CONDITIONING PROCESS

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the seed conditioning process on the sanitary quality of Panicum maximum ‘Mombasa’ seeds. The seeds were sampled before processing and after exiting the seed blower and sieves (discharge from the top and bottom sieves), first gravity separator (intermediate discharge), seed treatment equipment (dyeing the seeds of the intermediate discharge from the first separator), and second gravity separator (upper, intermediate, and lower discharge). Sanitary analysis was performed by the Blotter Test method with and without surface disinfestation of the seeds, which were incubated at 20 ± 2 °C, with a photoperiod of 12 h, for 7 d. The conditioning process increased the incidence of Fusarium sp. in the Mombasa grass seeds. In addition, Cladosporium sp. and Alternaria sp. were found in and on the surface of the seeds and, therefore, can be disseminated by the seed conditioning machines. The percentage of seeds with Alternaria sp. decreased after dyeing and after the top discharge of the second gravity separator stage.
