title: How do Chilean Pre-Service Teachers Correct Errors in Writing?

description: ABSTRACT Most research on error correction has dealt with feedback strategies used in the classroom and the effect of these strategies on students’ performance. However, not much research has been conducted on pre-service teachers’ actual competence on giving written corrective feedback. With this idea in mind, a study was conducted in order to investigate the way pre-service teachers of English correct students’ errors in writing. For this, the participants were asked to complete an error correction task that required the teacher to mark a student’s opinion essay in the way they would normally do as part of their teaching practices and to answer a questionnaire related to the way they had corrected the task. The results showed that most teachers tend to correct errors comprehensively, rather than selectively, opting for direct rather than indirect feedback strategies.

title: In the middle of the road, there was a swamp: the social and environmental impacts of the Bragança-Ajuruteua highway, Pará, Brazil

description: Abstract The article investigates the social and environmental impacts of construction of Highway PA-458, which turned 26km of mangrove swamp into a landfill between the municipality of Bragança and Ajuruteua beach in northeastern Pará. Working with official documents, newspapers, photographs, and oral accounts, it analyzes politicians’, local residents’, and crab harvesters’ representations of the significance of the highway. It is concluded that officials have disregarded the environmental impact both on the mangrove swamps and on the daily lives of crab harvesters. While the latter may even view the road as positive, they have been confronted with a progressively dwindling crab population and a growing number of crab dealers.

title: Alterations in the stomatognathic system due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

description: Abstract Objectives: To compare the molar bite force, electromyographic activity, chewing efficiency and thickness of the masseter and temporalis muscles in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and healthy individuals. Material and Methods: Thirty individuals enrolled in the study were divided into the study group (with ALS, n=15) and control group (healthy individuals, n=15). Data regarding molar bite force (right and left), electromyographic activity (mandibular rest, right and left laterality, protrusion, and maximum voluntary contraction), chewing efficiency (habitual and non-habitual), and masticatory muscle thickness (rest and maximum voluntary contraction) were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis (Student’s t-test, p≤0.05). Results: Comparisons between the groups demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the electromyographic activity of the right masseter (p=0.03) and left masseter (p=0.03) muscles during mandibular rest; left masseter (p=0.00), right temporalis (p=0.00), and left temporalis (p=0.03) muscles during protrusion; and right masseter (p=0.00), left masseter (p=0.00), and left temporalis (p=0.00) muscles during left laterality, in individuals with ALS as compared with healthy individuals. A statistically significant decrease was observed in the habitual chewing efficiency of the right masseter (p=0.00) and right temporalis (p=0.04) muscles in individuals with ALS. No statistically significant difference between the groups was found the masticatory muscle thickness and maximal molar bite force. Conclusions: ALS may lead to modifications in the activities of the stomatognathic system, including muscular hyperactivity and reduction in chewing efficiency; however, no change has been observed in the masticatory muscle thickness and molar bite force.

title: Dynamics of Tifton 85 pasture (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers) over seeded with cool season species, under continuous grazing

description: ABSTRACT. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of oat or ryegrass over seeding on the productive characteristics and morphological composition of Tifton85 grass under continuous grazing. The three studied treatments were: Oat + Tifton85, Ryegrass + Tifton85 and Tifton85, distributed in a completely randomized design, constituting four replications of area per treatment. The Ryegrass + Tifton85 treatment presented a forage mass 27% superior to the Oat + Tifton85 treatment. The leaf percentage of Tifton85 was superior for the treatment Oat + Tifton85 (41%), while the percentage of stem + sheath was superior in the treatment Ryegrass + Tifton85 (64%). There was a higher percentage of Tifton85 leaves in the treatment Oat + Tifton85, while the Ryegrass + Tifton85 treatment presented a higher proportion of the stem + sheath constituent. Overfeeding species of temperate climate has proven to be a viable alternative, since it potentiates the weight gain of animals without damaging the productive re-establishment of Tifton85.

title: Estimação de Parâmetros de Modelo de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos utilizando Algoritmo de Levenberg-Marquardt Modificado

description: ABSTRACT This paper proposes an algorithm for the estimation of the parameters of a photovoltaic system model. We propose to use a modified Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to enhance the estimates of the two resistences (series and parallel) in an one-diode photovoltaic model. The estimation precision of the proposed approach is compared to other three methods. The simulation of the photovoltaic systems using the obtained parameters provides the characteristic curve and the power generated by the photovoltaic system. Methods are applied to interpolate the points of the IxV curves obtained by simulation, so that these IxV curve can be compared with the IxV curves provided by the datasheet of the Kyocera KC200GT photovoltaic module. The results show that the curve generated with the parameters estimated through the proposed algorithm presents the smallest mean square error compared to the other considered methods.

title: Genetic and taxonomic relationships of five species of Rallidae (Aves: Gruiformes) based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I sequences

description: ABSTRACT. This is the first study to detection the genetic relationship between Porphyrio alleni and four Rallidae species: Fulica atra, Gallinulla angulata, Gallinulla chloropus and Porphyrio porphyrio. Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences were used as an effective marker in this study. DNA of Rallidae species were extracted, amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then sequenced. The results obtained from information based on COI sequences revealed that Gallinulla angulata and Gallinulla chloropus fall into two separate clades and they are not monophyletic. This suggests that, two moorhens could not be laid into the same genus. In addition, Porphyrio porphyrio was included in the same genus with Porphyrio alleni but they were situated in two different clades. Porphyrio alleni was more related to Gallinulla angulate, Gallinulla chloropus and Fulica atra than Porphyrio porphyrio. It was concluded that, the mitochondrial gene COI can aid in the differentiation of studied species and finding genetic relationships between them.

title: Adipose metaplasia of the thyroid associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis with nodular hyperplasia and oncocytic cells adenoma: case report and literature review

description: ABSTRACT Lesions involving adipose tissue and the thyroid gland are usually rare. In the present report, adipose metaplasia is associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis with nodular hyperplasia and oncocytic adenoma in a 40-years-old female patient, which is one of the first reported cases of this association. The main clinical finding is the diffuse goiter, and the differential diagnosis must be performed to exclude the possibility of malignancies. The treatment is performed through total thyroidectomy. Thus, it is important the physicians be aware of this pathology with a view to a more effective clinical reasoning and to exclude more serious possibilities.

title: Correlations between agronomic traits and path analysis for silage production in maize hybrids

description: ABSTRACT The aim of the current study is to estimate the correlation coefficients and the consequence of genotypic correlations on direct and indirect effects through path analysis between agronomic traits of maize hybrids used for silage production. Eight (8) topcross hybrids and seven (7) checks were analyzed in completely randomized blocks, with six replications, in two environments: Campos do Goytacazes and Itaocara counties – Rio de Janeiro State, in the crop year 2015/2016. The following agronomic traits were assessed: plant height, first ear height, culm diameter, number of ears, ear yield with straw at silage maturity, ear yield without straw at silage maturity, grain yield at silage maturity, grains ratio in the fresh matter and fresh matter yield. The highest correlation estimates were found between the variables ear yield without straw and grain yield, and between ear yield with straw and ear yield without straw, with magnitudes 0.95 and 0.92, respectively. The coefficient of determination was high, which indicates that the assessed components explain most of the existing variation in fresh matter yield. According to the path analysis, the trait showing the strongest direct effect on fresh matter yield was the ear yield with straw at silage maturity, in association with the high correlation (r = 0.91), which showed the possibility of achieving significant gains through indirect selection.

title: Effect of plant extracts from Cerrado on Alternaria leaf spot control in tomato plants

description: ABSTRACT Alternaria leaf spot caused by the fungus Alternaria solani is one of the main and most frequent diseases that affect tomato crop. It manifests on stalks, stems and especially on leaves, at high severity. It causes defoliation and can also induce infections in the fruits, making them inappropriate for commercialization. To control the disease, synthetic defensives are still the most used products. With the aim of lowering the toxicity to the environment and to the human health, the search for alternative products has emerged. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant extracts for the control of Alternaria solani in tomato culture: in vitro and in vivo. The experiment was performed in two steps: 1- in vivo (in a greenhouse under hydroponic system) and 2- in vitro (in the laboratory). The treatments used in the first step were: 1- Control (no application); 2- “Assa Peixe” extract; 3- “Aroeirinha” extract; 4- “Pata de Vaca do Cerrado” extract; 5- “Murici” extract, all of which were used at the proportion of 10% extract diluted with water and another control to which a fungicide (Pyraclostrobin) was applied. Experimental design was in randomized blocks with four replicates. In the second step, the experiment was carried out in completely randomized design, with the same treatments used in the first step, except for the commercial treatment. “Aroeirinha” and “Assa Peixe” extracts provided Alternaria leaf spot control in tomato plants in the in vivo experiment. However, for the in vitro experiment, “Murici” and “Aroeirinha” extracts decreased the mycelial growth of the fungus.

title: The role of cytogenetics and molecular biology in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia

description: ABSTRACT Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is the most common myeloproliferative disorder among chronic neoplasms. The history of this disease joins with the development of cytogenetic analysis techniques in human. CML was the first cancer to be associated with a recurrent chromosomal alteration, a reciprocal translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 9 and 22 - Philadelphia chromosome. This work is an updated review on CML, which highlights the importance of cytogenetics analysis in the continuous monitoring and therapeutic orientation of this disease. The search for scientific articles was carried out in the PubMed electronic database, using the descriptors "leukemia", "chronic myeloid leukemia", "treatment", "diagnosis", "karyotype" and "cytogenetics". Specialized books and websites were also included. Detailed cytogenetic and molecular monitoring can assist in choosing the most effective drug for each patient, optimizing the treatment. Cytogenetics plays a key role in the detection of chromosomal abnormalities associated with malignancies, as well as the characterization of new alterations that allow more research and increase knowledge about the genetic aspects of these diseases. The development of new drugs, through the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved, will allow a possible improvement in the survival of these patients.
