title: Transformation of the urban periphery and new forms of inequality in Brazilian cities: a view on the recent changes in housing production

description: Abstract This article’s objective is to discuss recent transformations in the periphery of Brazil’s largest cities, considering the expansion of real estate in these territories, strongly supported by the Government’s housing program Minha Casa Minha Vida. Using historical and theoretical analyses, we demonstrate the shift in the primacy of the contradiction between capital and labor, dominated by industrial capital, towards the primacy of an urban contradiction, dominated by financial capital. Our hypothesis is that the appropriation of the periphery has consolidated into an essential strategy in the amplification of gains and in the expansion of real estate. This strategy of capital appreciation seems to impose new forms of inequality, which we have attempted to explore here.

title: EVALUATING A DANCE-RELATED ONGOING TRAINING PROCESS: ACTION RESEARCH IN FOCUS

description: ABSTRACT Ongoing training is a quite relevant theme in the education field. It allows teachers to develop their professional skills, seeking to solve everyday problems by means of acquired information or of information resulting from reflection with peers about pedagogical practice. Thus, the objective of this research was to assess the possibilities of an action research in ongoing training involving school dance with Physical Education teachers from the municipality of Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The study had the participation of 26 teachers from the municipal network. The methodological proposal followed the different steps of action research, comprehending the identification of needs (step 1), action planning (step 2), action implementation (step 3), action description and monitoring (step 4) and action result evaluation (step 5). Action results suggested the appropriation of knowledge by the teachers, greater motivation toward the teaching practice in school, effective exchange among peers, and possibility of approaching dance in school. The study also revealed the importance of ongoing training, allowing the construction of new types of learning, with changes in the teachers' attitudes, knowledge and pedagogical practices.

title: The views on science and reality in Richard P. Feynman's statements: A metalinguistic analysis of some of his textbooks and scientific dissemination

description: Abstract This work makes an inroad through some works of Richard Feynman, with a metalinguistic analysis of Quantum Physics statements in the Lectures on Physics, as well as in QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter and The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman. We investigate how the theme, compositional structure, and lexical choices express the enunciation of epistemological and ontological visions underlying the presentation of physical content. Our results show that the young scientist presents the physical content axiologically aligned with the Copenhagen Interpretation, acquiring at times a positivist bias. However, in later post-Lectures on Physics works, Feynman takes a stance of greater concern with scientific dissemination. The directionality, the speech scheme, and the intentionality of his utterances make his texts full of complex views on the nature of scientific theories. It is concluded that Feynman's set of works makes a useful contribution to the teaching of physics and the dissemination of science, adopting different voices about the nature of reality and science, being responsible for the sociopolitical period of the different utterances, which is a rich example of scientific and pedagogical non-neutrality.

title: Biomass components of Pennisetum purpureum cv. Roxo managed at different growth ages and seasons

description: SUMMARY This study was carried out aiming to evaluate the biomass components of elephant grass cv. Roxo at seven growth ages, during rainy, transition and dry seasons. A completely randomized design was adopted with a split plot arrangement over time. The treatments consisted of seven growth ages (9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54 and 63) and three seasons (rainy, transition and dry). The variables green forage biomass, dead forage biomass, green stem biomass and green leaf blade biomass showed positive linear responses to age and had their magnitude influenced by the evaluated seasons. The live/dead material ratio showed a decreasing linear response as a function of age. The leaf blade/stem ratio showed a negative linear adjustment in the rainy season, reaching a critical value of 1.0 at 59 days, and it showed a quadratic adjustment in the transition season, with the maximum point at 27.53 days; however, this ratio was not influenced by age in the dry season, revealing an average value of 2.22 ± 0.27. The canopy height and leaf area index showed a positive linear response to age in the three seasons. Tiller population density showed quadratic behaviour for age, with maximum estimated values of 134 and 110 til. m-2 at 31.24 and 37.40 days in the rainy and dry seasons, respectively. Rainfall seasonality influences the magnitude of the daily increase of the distinct biomass components of Pennisetum purpureum cv. Roxo.

title: Research evaluation of author’s citation-based performance through the relative author superiority index

description: Abstract The aim of this paper is to further explore the recent conversation about the indicators for research evaluation through citation-based indexes. It evaluates the Cuban Biotechnology; Applied Microbiology researchers’ citation-based performance, according to their scientific production in journals of the ISI Web of Science database through the Relative Author Superiority Index. The methodology comprises six steps: (1) preparation of the data; (2) calculation of the Percentile Rank Index for each of the papers; (3) calculation of the Author Superiority Index for each of the authors; (4) Calculation of the Relative Author Superiority Index; (5) Comparison of the Author Superiority Index of each author to their Hirsch (H) and G citation indexes and (6) individual or group evaluation of the citation-based performance. The findings suggest that the group of Cuban researchers in biotechnology achieved a high citation-based performance within the analyzed period. The results show the effectiveness of this index to assess the citation performance of individual or group researchers when the impact factor of the researcher or group under evaluation is not high. In addition, the Relative Author Superiority index could be complementary to other previous indicators such as H-index, G-index or citation counts as it overcomes the limitations of the age of publications, length of the author’s career, and the self-citation problem that are present in other indicators.

title: Role of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Contextual Neural Coding of Self-Reward and Relationship with Just-world Belief

description: In this study, we aimed to disentangle the neural correlates underlying reward processes and social decision-making since previous findings have been inconsistent and intertwined. Specifically, we manipulated share sizes of dictator games (DG) and examined the brain activation in response to absolute/relative value of reward for self/other with fMRI. Then, we collected data regarding willingness and preference for making these offers in a post-scan behavioral task. Furthermore, we examined how elicited neural activities vary with individual differences from the aspect of self-benefit, altruism, and social context.

title: Family Health Strategy and Bioethics: focus group discussions on work and training

description: Abstract The work of the Family Health Strategy has introduced a number of new bioethical challenges for health professionals. Additional effort has been required in terms of research – mapping the problems faced by staff – and training, focusing on ethical preparation for the creation of care activities. The aim of the present study was to understand this context by identifying, using the focus group technique, the perception of staff from the municipality Viçosa/MG, Brazil, of the concepts of ethics and bioethics, the approach to bioethical problems in the day to day functioning of the health units, and the training process relating to such issues. The results indicate recognition of the centrality of bioethics to the work of the Family Health Strategy and the need to create training areas which prioritize dialogue and lifelong learning.

title: Topical mitomycin in endoscopic-assisted probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in older children

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: Mitomycin C has been used in ophthalmic surgery to mitigate postoperative scarring. However, the outcomes of endoscopic-assisted probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction with adjunctive mitomycin C in children remain unknown. Our study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive application of mitomycin C after endoscopic-assisted probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review performed in a tertiary eye care hospital involving children with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction, who underwent endoscopic-assisted probing from October 2013 to August 2015. We compared children who underwent endoscopic-assisted probing with mitomycin C (mitomycin C group) versus others who underwent endoscopic-assisted probing without mitomycin C (endoscopic-assisted probing group). The mitomycin C group received 0.2 mg/ml within 4 min to the nasolacrimal duct ostium using a cotton tip applicator immediately after probing. Probing was considered successful when patient complaints of tearing were reduced or the results of the dye disappearance test were normal. Demographic data, clinical features, and intraoperative and postoperative variables were correlated to the success rate. Results: The study sample comprised 68 lacrimal vies. The majority of children had bilateral obstruction and no previous history of probing. The mean age of the patients was approximately 4 years. Most obstructions were considered complex. The success rates were high in both groups (p&gt;0.05). There were no adverse events related to the use of mitomycin C (p&gt;0.05). Conclusions: Although mitomycin C has no adverse effects when applied to the opening of the nasolacrimal duct, its use after lacrimal probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction does not improve the chance of success.
