title: Survival and development of reintroduced Cattleya intermedia plants related to abiotic factors and herbivory at the edge and in the interior of a forest fragment in South Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Biotic and abiotic factors, such as luminosity, temperature, air humidity, and herbivory, can affect the establishment of reintroduced plants in natural habitats. This study evaluated the effects of these factors on the survival and growth of Cattleya intermedia plants reintroduced into a forest fragment in South Brazil. Plants of C. intermedia were obtained from in vitro seed germination in asymbiotic culture. Eighty-eight plants were reintroduced at both the forest edge and forest interior. Plants with greater shoot heights and number of leaves and pseudobulbs suffered more damage from herbivores at the edge. There were no significant differences in morphometric parameters between damaged and non-damaged plants in the interior. Tenthecoris bicolor, Helionothrips errans, Ithomiola nepos, Molomea magna and Coleoptera larvae damaged C. intermedia. Luminosity was higher at the edge, while air humidity and temperature were the same in both environments. Herbivory associated with abiotic factors increased plant mortality in the interior, while abiotic factors were determinative of plant survival at the edge. Luminosity is important to the survival of reintroduced epiphytic orchids, and herbivory affects the success of reintroduction.

title: Ocular manifestations of psoriasis

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: We aimed to report the ocular manifestations observed in patients with psoriasis. Methods: Patients were included and referred to our ophthalmology clinic from dermatology clinics of Universidade do Estado do Pará between October 2013 and August 2014. Clinical interviews were conducted to identify relevant epidemiological data, clinical features, and treatment details, and data were recorded using the same protocol. Subsequent dermatological examinations were performed and disease severity was rated using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and the Dermatological Life Quality Index. Complete eye examination was conducted, including visual acuity, biomicroscopy, tonometry, fundoscopy, Schirmer I test, tear breakup time, rose bengal staining, ocular surface disease index, and glaucoma tests. Results: In total, we included 43 patients with psoriasis and 86 controls. Patients with psoriasis had statistically higher incidences of dry eye (16.28%), likely dry eye (32.56%), and blepharitis (16.28%). Furthermore, the rose bengal and ocular surface disease tests were more abnormal in patients with psoriasis (p&lt;0.05). Conclusions: Patients with psoriasis should undergo regular eye exams, regardless of risk factors, to monitor for the progression of symptomatic or asymptomatic ocular manifestations.

title: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK): intraoperative and postoperative complications and clinical results

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the complications and clinical results of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in patients with endothelial failure that occurred during the learning curve of a surgeon. Methods: Fifty eyes of 50 patients with DMEK and ≥6 months of follow-up were included. The patients were divided into the first 25 (group 1) and the second 25 (group 2) procedures performed by the surgeon. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central corneal thickness (CCT), unfolding time of the Descemet membrane (DM) graft, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were compared between groups. Results: The differences in postoperative increase of BCVA (p=0.595) and decrease of CCT (p=0.725) in the two groups were not significant. The unfolding time of the DM was longer in group 1 than in group 2 (p=0.001). Primary graft failure occurred in three patients in group 1 and none in group 2. At the last visit, 42 (85.7%) of patients’ corneas were clear, with significant difference between groups (p=0.584). A patient in group 1 with a history of pars plana vitrectomy, inferior iridectomy, and fluid as a tamponade experienced drop of the DM graft into the iridectomy space. All other intraoperative complications occurred in group 1. Conclusions: Occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications was increased in patients with coexisting ocular pathology or complicated endothelial dysfunction and during the surgeon’s learning curve of DM endothelial keratoplasty procedures.

title: "CULTURE OF PEACE": GENESIS OF A FORMULA BETWEEN WAR AND VIOLENCE DISCOURSES

description: ABSTRACT In this work, we follow the development of the syntagma "culture of peace" in the Brazilian public space from its institutional genesis to the year of 2012, by verifying its consolidation during the International Decade of a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World (2001-2010 - UN) and its functioning as a discursive formula (KRIEG-PLANQUE, 2010). We show how a consensus effect is produced on the linguistic surface of this syntagma that, when circulating, is summoned by diverse interpretations that depart mainly from the central sema "coexistence". We will focus on the relationship between the "culture of peace" genesis and the circulation of "discourses of war and violence" which are materialized in everyday practices and technical objects.

title: HYBRIDIZATION OF ACADEMIC CULTURE WITH CYBERCULTURE: ANALYSIS OF ACADEMIC PRACTICES IN MOODLE, A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

description: ABSTRACT: The paper presents the results of a scientific initiation research (PIBIC) about academic culture and its process of hybridization with cyberculture. The study had the general purpose of verifying in what manners the mediations between learners and digital intellectual technologies favor or restrict the resignification of academic culture. In order to do so, the research sought to identify different academic practices of usage of the virtual learning environment (VLE) Moodle and to analyze the elements that constitute it. It is an ethnographic research, substantiated on intercultural perspective, according to Canclini e Martín-Barbero, linked to the Cultural Studies of Education. The results pointed that the VLE Moodle platform has not favored the hybridization of academic culture with cyberculture, mainly because of the episteme that rules teaching and learning in universities. It was found that the practices and elements analyzed on academic culture tend to reproduce the current teaching paradigm at the investigated institution.

title: TRANSLATION TEACHING: PEDAGOGIAL CULTURES

description: ABSTRACT This work seeks to show the results of an investigation carried out with translation trainers of practical courses. Using a qualitative-exploratory methodology, with a descriptive bias, the research, divided into two phases, involved 12 Brazilian Translation programs. Starting in 2012, and using unstructured questionnaires, the proposal identified the academic profile of translation trainers of practical courses and their pedagogical routines. In 2017, as a way of continuing the research, and taking into account that teachers modify or stabilize their practices over the years (TARDIF, 2002; CHARLOT, 2009), the second phase of this study adopted a qualitative-longitudinal methodology (FLORES, 2003), with the objective of identifying, with the same group of respondents, the modifications they may have incorporated in their classrooms after five years. Based on the collected data, it was possible to confirm the hypothesis that studies that seek to abdicate from the teacher-centered approach, or that are against the subjective and intuitive pedagogy (ARROJO, 1993; DARIN, 2001; COLINA, 2003 [2015]; KELLY, 2005; ECHEVERRI, 2008, 2015; KIRALY, 2016) have had no effect in the translator training classroom.

title: Algorithm approach for revision surgery following late-onset bleb complications after trabeculectomy: long-term follow-up

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this study was to introduce a reproducible algorithm for the surgical management of late-onset (&gt;2 months) bleb complications after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of eyes treated using a reproducible algorithm approach by a single surgeon for the surgical management of late-onset bleb complications from July 2006 to April 2014. Exclusion criteria were bleb revision with less than 3 months of follow-up or bleb revision combined with other glaucoma procedures at the time of surgery. Success was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier survival method and defined as achieving all of the following criteria: primary surgery indication resolved, no additional surgery required for decreasing the intraocular pressure (IOP), and IOP of ≥6 mmHg and ≤18 mmHg. Results: Twenty-three eyes from 20 patients were evaluated. Indications for bleb revision were hypotonic maculopathy (47.8%), bleb leak (30.4%), and dysesthetic bleb (21.7%). The overall primary outcome success rate calculated using the Kaplan-Meier survival method was 65.2% at 48 months. When the IOP target was changed to ≤15 mmHg, the bleb survival rate was 47.8% at 48 months. At the most recent postoperative visit, 95.7% of eyes had an IOP of ≤15 mmHg and 56.5% were being treated with an average of one medication per eye. One eye (4.3%) required a second bleb revision for persistent hypotony and two eyes required glaucoma surgery to reduce IOP during follow-up. Conclusions: An algorithm approach for the surgical management of late-onset bleb complications with a success rate similar to those reported in specialized literature is proposed. Randomized trials are needed to confirm the best surgical approach.

title: The vascularization process after intravitreal ranibizumab injections for aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the retinal vascularization process after intravitreal ranibizumab was administered to infants with aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP). Methods: Twenty-six eyes of 13 infants with AP-ROP who received 0.25 mg intravitreal ranibizumab were retrospectively investigated. The patients were evaluated at weekly follow-up visits, and the findings were analyzed after retinal vascularization was complete. Results: The results showed regression in the AP-ROP of all the patients within the first 48-72 h. Average time for complete vascularization of the nasal quadrant (zone II) was postmenstrual week 45 (range 41-56), and vascularization of the temporal quadrant (zone III) was completed in the postmenstrual week 56 (range 50-65). Reactivation was observed in seven patients, on average at postmenstrual week 42; two of these patients underwent additional treatment. Two patients presented with avascular areas in the peripheral retina despite being 1 year old. Conclusion: These results showed that retinal vascularization following intravitreal ranibizumab was completed after a delay in patients with AP-ROP. Further studies are necessary to evaluate when and how vascularization occurs after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatments.

title: Assessing the accommodation response after near visual tasks using different handheld electronic devices

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To assess the accommodation response after short reading periods using a tablet and a smartphone as well as determine potential differences in the accommodation response at various stimulus vergences using a Hartmann- Shack aberrometer. Methods: Eighteen healthy subjects with astigmatism of less than 1 D, corrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better, and normal findings in an ophthalmic examination were enrolled. Accommodation responses were obtained under three different conditions: accommodation system of the eye relaxed and visually stressed with a tablet and an smartphone for 10 min, at a distance of 0.25 m from the subject's eyes. Three measurements of accommodation response were monocularly acquired at stimulus vergences ranging from 0 to 4 D (1-D step). Results: No statistically significant differences were found in the accommodation responses among the conditions. A moderate but gradually increasing root mean square, coma-like aberration was found for every condition. Conversely, the spherical aberration decreased as stimulus vergences increased. These outcomes were identified in comparison to the one-to-one ideal accommodation response, implying that a certain lag value was present in all stimulus vergences different from 0 D. Conclusions: The results support the hypothesis that the difference between the ideal and real accommodation responses is mainly attributed to parameters associated with the accommodation process, such as the near visual acuity, depth of focus, pupil diameter, and wavefront aberrations. The wavefront aberrations were dependent on the 3-mm pupil size selected in this study. The accommoda tion response was not dependent on the electronic device employed in each condition, and it was mainly associated with young age and level of amplitude of accommodation of the subjects.
