title: Verbal-Visual Mediation: cultural artifacts of power and control for studies of school context in Applied Linguistics research

description: ABSTRACT In this article we explore the data and theoretical discussions of a larger research (Tanzi Neto, 2016, 2017) and present one of the analysis tools of the research group NUVYLA-CNPq (Nucleus of Studies and Research of Vygotsky School in Applied Linguistics), created in 2018. In the framework of a dialogue between Vygotsky, Bakhtin and Bernstein, the research group seeks to demonstrate how the dimensions of verbal-visual utterances (artifacts) practiced in school spaces - embedded of multiple languages - mediate the formation of human consciousness. For this discussion, we analyze the verbal-visuality of different exhibitors from two public school contexts in Brazil. In the first one, of social base of more hierarchical discursive relations, that is to say, of verbal-visual utterances more controlled, the school space is not seen, by its participants, as a place to reach new projects of life, neither as a space of belonging or as recognized social positionings. In the second context, of social base of less controlled relations of power and control, that is, that provides the voice, identity and social position of its participants, we observe a reconfiguration of the dialogical and axiological positions of its participants, creating a school social context of belonging and recognition of its members to achieve future projects.

title: An Easy and Reliable Way to Prevent Electrocardiographic Deteriorations of Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Preoperative Anxiolytic Treatment

description: Abstract Objective: To investigate the effects of preoperative anxiety relieving on electrophysiological changes in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. Methods: A total of 61 patients at ASA III risk group in the age range of 18-65 years were enrolled in the present study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group S (Sedation group) was administered 0.04 mg/kg lorazepam per os (PO) twice before the operation. Group C (control group) was not administered with any anxiolytic premedication. State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were used to evaluate the level of anxiety. Electrocardiography (ECG), pulse oximeter and standard monitoring were performed for each patient. QT and P dispersions in each derivation of all ECGs were calculated. Results: Preoperative STAI-I scores were significantly lower in sedation group compared to the controls. Mean values of QT dispersion measured before induction, at the 1st minute of induction, 30th second of intubation and 4th minute of intubation in sedation group were significantly reduced compared to controls (P=0.024; P=0.027; P=0.001; P=0.033, respectively). The mean values of P dispersion measured before induction, at the 3rd minute of induction, 30th second of intubation and 4th minute of intubation in sedation group were significantly reduced compared to controls (P=0.001; P=0.020; P=0.023; P=0.005, respectively). Conclusion: Elevated anxiety levels in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery have a negative effect through prolonged QT and P-wave dispersion times. Anxiolytic treatment before surgery may be useful to prevent ventricular and atrial arrhythmias and associated complications through decreasing the QT and P-wave dispersion duration.

title: Nitrogen fertilization on ornamental ginger under fertigation in protected cultivation

description: ABSTRACT Tropical floriculture has increased significantly in the last decade due to a growing worldwide market trend of consuming exotic, colorful, beautiful and durable flowers. Among the tropical floriculture products, ornamental gingers, species belonging to the families Zingiberaceae and Costaceae, have high potential for ornamental use, both for landscaping, for cut and potted flower and foliage. However, little information can be found in literature when it comes to crop fertilization, mainly concerning nitrogen fertilization, quite important to tropical soils which are poor in organic matter resource. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate application of nitrogen doses, using fertigation for growing ornamental ginger under protected cultivation. The experiment was carried out from 2012 to 2016, using seedlings produced in vitro multiplication. Plantlets remained for a period of acclimatization in a nursery and, then were planted in pits spaced 1x1 m in a greenhouse. The agronomic parameters and recommendation of nitrogen using SPAD were evaluated from the beginning 2013 until 2016. The experimental arrangement was in randomized blocks with five nitrogen doses (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg ha-1) and 4 replicates. The increase of nitrogen doses, up to 400 kg ha-1 via fertigation, produces 77 100-cm-height commercial flowers/tussock/year, favoring the commercial production and standardization of ornamental ginger.

title: Effects of gene therapy on cardiovascular symptoms of lysosomal storage diseases

description: Abstract Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are inherited conditions caused by impaired lysosomal function and consequent substrate storage, leading to a range of clinical manifestations, including cardiovascular disease. This may lead to significant symptoms and even cardiac failure, which is an important cause of death among patients. Currently available treatments do not completely correct cardiac involvement in the LSDs. Gene therapy has been tested as a therapeutic alternative with promising results for the heart disease. In this review, we present the results of different approaches of gene therapy for LSDs, mainly in animal models, and its effects in the heart, focusing on protocols with cardiac functional analysis.

title: Composição Ótima da Dívida Pública Brasileira e a Política Monetária

description: Abstract The public debt management has recently occupied a prominent position in the academic debate due to the fiscal imbalance currently faced by Brazil. The objective of this paper is to analyze the effects of the public debt composition on the dynamics of the Brazilian economy and its interaction with the monetary policy. The model of Schmitt-Grohé e Uribe (2007) is expanded to include public bonds indexed to interest rate, in addition to the pre-fixed and indexed to the inflation. The dynamics of the economy is simulated from exogenous shocks in fiscal policy, productivity, and monetary policy. A welfare analysis investigates the optimal composition of public debt and its relationship with the monetary policy. The results indicate that the fiscal shock might be inflationary because of its effects on aggregate demand and investment; debt composition has little impact on the dynamics of real variables in face of a productivity shock; and, the monetary policy shock increases the public debt and consequently the level of taxation required for fiscal equilibrium. A greater degree of public debt indexation increases the welfare because this contributes to smoothing the trajectories of public debt and taxation in the economy. The welfare also increases when the Central Bank does not respond to the output gap and aggressively fights inflation in its reaction function.

title: Simulation of pattern of gene flow in Canjerana fragments in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest for evaluating genetic conservation strategies

description: ABSTRACT: Gene flow is important for the conservation of genetic resources to allow connectivity of geographically isolated populations and which genetic variability is reduced. Gene movement is a function of flow rate and model. Understanding how gene flow occurs can contribute to the conservation and selection of priority populations that could benefit from an eventual intervention. Simulation softwares allow making inferences about past events based on current datasets or predict future phenomena under real genetic scenarios. Adverse phenomena can be predicted and actions can be taken to avoid them. The aim of this study was to identify a model and the gene flow rates that could explain genetic structure of eight forest fragments of Cabralea canjerana in development in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. To do this, simulations were performed with the EASYPOP software using a microsatellite marker dataset obtained for the species by Melo and collaborators, in 2012, 2014 and 2016. We tested five models and nine migration rates and we selected the model that produced values closer to those previously obtained for them. Criteria used for selection were the observed and expected heterozygosity and the Wright’s F Statistics obtained in the simulations. The gene flow model selected was the isolation by distance model that used a rate of 0.1. We observed high levels of genetic differentiation among the fragments as result of their reproductive isolation. To allow homogenization of the allelic frequencies through gene flow, the solution would be to create ecological corridors with the aim of connecting distant fragments.

title: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Motor Behavior Checklist (MBC) into Brazilian Portuguese

description: Abstract Introduction There are only a few instruments available to assess behavioral problems in school-age children based on reports of physical education teachers. The Motor Behavior Checklist (MBC) was designed to be completed by this professional in free play-situations or during physical education classes to rate students’ motor-related behavior using 5-point Likert scales. The MBC comprises 59 items distributed into two broadband factors (externalizing and internalizing) and seven behavior problem scales: rule breaking, hyperactivity/impulsivity, lack of attention, low energy, stereotyped behaviors, lack of social interaction, and lack of self-regulation. The objective of this study was to describe the translation and cross-cultural adaptation processes of the MBC into Brazilian Portuguese. Method The following procedures were conducted: forward translation of the original instrument, production of a synthesized version, back-translation, literal and semantic comparison, back-translator’s evaluation of divergent items, synthesized version with back-translator’s suggestions, clarity assessment of the synthesized version by professionals (physical education teachers), focus group to assess clarity indicators of the instrument, evaluation of adjustments by the author of the instrument, and production of the final version. Results The results indicated a satisfactory level of agreement between the original and the back-translated versions, with 68% of exact equivalence between the translated items and 16% of terms requiring minor adjustments. In the draft version, 84% of the items were evaluated as clear by physical education teachers. Conclusion The translated version has compatible content with the original version. Future studies should be conducted to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the MBC.
