title: Seroprevalence and hematological abnormalities associated with Ehrlichia canis in dogs referred to a veterinary teaching hospital in central-western Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: Ticks are significant parasites of dogs in the tropics, where tick-borne pathogens are highly prevalent, especially in areas where tick control measures are frequently neglected. This study investigated the seroprevalence and hematological abnormalities associated with Ehrlichia canis in dogs referred to a veterinary teaching hospital in Central-western Brazil. Out of 264 dogs tested for anti-Ehrlichia canis antibodies by an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), 59.1% (156/264) were positive. Seropositivity was significantly associated to anemia and thrombocytopenia, alone or in combination, and to leukopenia. Conversely, there were no differences in terms of seroprevalence according to sex, breed and age. This study demonstrated that dogs referred to a veterinary teaching hospital in Central-western Brazil are highly exposed to E. canis and that seropositive dogs are more likely to present hematological abnormalities, particularly anemia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. To our knowledge, this is the first study on detection of anti-E. canis antibodies by means of IFA among dogs in the state of Goiás. These findings highlighted the need for increasing awareness among dog owners regarding tick control measures in Central-western Brazil, ultimately to reduce the risk of exposure to E. canis and other tick-borne pathogens.

title: Effect of continuous positive airway pressure associated to exercise on the breathing pattern and heart rate variability of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a randomized controlled trial

description: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been used to improve gas exchange and diaphragmatic function, among others benefits. Moreover, it can be used to increase exercise tolerance and positively influence ventilatory function and breathing pattern (BP) during exercise. However, there is no information about the long-term effects of CPAP, as an adjunct to an inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program, on BP and heart rate variability (HRV) of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). Twenty patients were allocated to receive, after randomization, standard inpatient CR without CPAP (control group - CG) or CR with CPAP between 10 to 12 cmH2O (CPAP group - CPG) associated with the exercises. Participants were assessed preoperatively and on the discharge day, in the sitting rest position. Outcome measurements included BP variables, collected by respiratory inductive plethysmography, and HRV, collected by polar precision performance. The CPG presented lower values of percent rib cage inspiratory and expiratory contributions to tidal volume (%RCi and %RCe) at discharge time, compared to CG. No statistical differences between groups were observed for HRV variables and both groups presented lower values of these indices, compared to preoperative ones. In this context, the patients who received CPAP throughout the whole rehabilitation program were discharged with a better BP, which could indicate more synchronized breathing. CPAP did not influence cardiac autonomic modulation in the long term.

title: LANGUAGE COMMODIFICATION IN LUXURY TOURISM PROMOTION IN THE IRYAPÚ JUNGLE (MISIONES, ARGENTINA): AUTHENTICITY, MOBILITIES AND RESISTANCE

description: ABSTRACT Living in the Triple border Argentina-Brazil-Paraguay region, Argentine city Puerto Iguazú’s Indigenous communities have undergone social and territorial changes due to policies that have resulted in the construction of the Iryapú Jungle tourist area, exploited by national and international hotel networks. This paper aims to discuss the language uses in tourism promotion within this area, where Guarani language and culture elements are mobilized to produce authenticity and generate symbolic added value (HELLER; DUCHÊNE, 2012, 2016). To elaborate this exploratory case study, bibliographic research on the Guaranis and tourism in the Triple border was initially carried out; subsequently, regional tourism promotion texts were selected and analyzed. The analysis points out that both luxury hotels and Indigenous communities mobilize Guarani language and culture resources to generate added value to tourism products and services. In the Guarani’s case, these uses express both adherence to the profit framework and resistance strategies, using these discourses in favor of their language and culture preservation. Although several studies in the area point to language commodification as a possible promoter of the subjects’ agency and the income generation to minority groups, we argue that the Guaranis, inserted in a capitalist exploitation and alienation relation with the Iryapú Jungle enterprise, are in a position between necessity and resistance.

title: The production of Education Physique Sportive Generalisée in France: sports as a educational possibility

description: ABSTRACT The present paper aims at analyzing the processes of formulation of Education Physique Sportive Généralisée [Physical Education Generalized Sport] (EPSG) in France, focusing on the subjects and principles that guided its elaboration. For such, we used specifically scientific journals and books related to the conceptual and methodological debate held in France, from the 1940’s to the 1950’s, as well as handbooks of the period that have amplified and refined the analysis of the elaboration of EPSG. We can observe that EPSG was taken as a form to reconfigure other ways of doing Physical Education, reordering the structures and practices that shape the teaching process and focusing on the role of games and sports for youth training.

title: Caxuxa comics and their messages to children: considerations about the child’s body in Cirandinha magazine (1950s)

description: ABSTRACT Cirandinha magazine circulated in Brazil in the 1950s and aimed to educate and entertain girls. For about a decade, this publication conveyed specific ways of being, feeling, and behaving to readers, taking part in childhood education. This article discusses one of the comics published by illustrator Giselda Melo, presenting Caxuxa, a black girl. The objectives are to identify and analyze the historical and pedagogical processes of children’s body education using childhood representations in the magazine’s texts and images. The adventures of Caxuxa, manifested in her gestures, speeches, and behaviors, allow a discussion, in the context of cultural history, of her ambiguities, ruptures, and contradictions when compared to the values and moralizing lessons disseminated in other sections of the magazine. As a result, we conclude that Caxuxa is an expressive character for understanding the broader educational processes inscribed underbodies in childhood.

title: On the path of the Norte-Rio-Grandense education: the emergence of scout practices in the city of Natal in the early 20th century

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the emergence of scouting, in the city of Natal- RN, at the beginning of the 20th century, problematizing how this type of education, which was thought by Baden-Powell, for the reality of young English people, was received by the elite and local political authorities. To follow the path left by the scout education in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, we adapted information from the theoretical and methodological hypotheses of the New Cultural History, choosing as sources laws, government messages, newspapers, correspondence, and photographs, based in the theoretical considerations of Sirinelli (2003) about the intellectual concept, which enabled us to think about the founders of the Scouting in the city of Natal, and their network of sociability. The work showed that the emergence of Scouting in the city of Natal was a result of the initiative of intellectuals, whose social networks were determinant to implement and consolidate this model of education in the State.

title: Divide-and-Conquer: A Distributed Hierarchical Factor Approach to Modeling Large-Scale Time Series Data

description: This article proposes a hierarchical approximate-factor approach to analyzing high-dimensional, large-scale heterogeneous time series data using distributed computing. The new method employs a multiple-fold dimension reduction procedure using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and shows great promises for modeling large-scale data that cannot be stored nor analyzed by a single machine. Each computer at the basic level performs a PCA to extract common factors among the time series assigned to it and transfers those factors to one and only one node of the second level. Each second-level computer collects the common factors from its subordinates and performs another PCA to select the second-level common factors. This process is repeated until the central server is reached, which collects factors from its direct subordinates and performs a final PCA to select the global common factors. The noise terms of the second-level approximate factor model are the unique common factors of the first-level clusters. We focus on the case of two levels in our theoretical derivations, but the idea can easily be generalized to any finite number of hierarchies, and the proposed method is also applicable to data with heterogeneous and multilevel subcluster structures that are stored and analyzed by a single machine. We introduce a new diffusion index approach to forecasting based on the global and group-specific factors. Some clustering methods are discussed in the supplement when the group memberships are unknown. We further extend the analysis to unit-root nonstationary time series. Asymptotic properties of the proposed method are derived for the diverging dimension of the data in each computing unit and the sample size <i>T</i>. We use both simulated and real examples to assess the performance of the proposed method in finite samples, and compare our method with the commonly used ones in the literature concerning the forecasting ability of extracted factors. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: CURRICULAR MATERIAL, CONTENT FAMILIARITY AND TOPIC INTEREST IN INTERACTION: INSIGHTS FROM SPANISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE PEDAGOGIC MATERIAL

description: RESUMO Nesta investigação reportamos resultados de um estudo de caso qualitativo centrado no contexto do ensino do espanhol como língua estrangeira no Chile. Com o objetivo de explorar a relação entre as características do material curricular, a familiaridade com o tema e o interesse pelo tema na tarefa de leitura, foram recolhidos dados de sessenta e quatro participantes utilizando três instrumentos. O primeiro é um inquérito para saber mais sobre a experiência anterior dos estudantes com a leitura no seu país. O segundo é uma entrevista semi-estruturada realizada com professores para obter mais clareza sobre as tarefas de leitura atribuídas e o material curricular utilizado. Finalmente, o terceiro é um grupo focal onde os estudantes partilharam as suas impressões sobre as tarefas atribuídas e o material utilizado. As conclusões apoiam que a complexidade do material instrucional reduziu o interesse pelo tema devido à falta de conhecimentos prévios relacionados com o material de leitura. Os estudantes sugeriram a alteração de todas as tarefas de leitura para avaliação sumativa, uma vez que a complexidade do texto os frustrava e queriam ser recompensados com pontuações. Estes resultados revelam que a concepção curricular e o interesse pelo tema poderiam ser influenciados pelo material utilizado de acordo com a familiaridade dos alunos com o tema.

title: IOTFlood: hardware and software platform using internet of things to monitor floods in real time

description: Abstract Floods are responsible for a high number of human and material losses every year. Monitoring of river levels is usually performed with radar and pre-configured sensors. However, a major flood can occur quickly. This justifies the implementation of a real-time monitoring system. This work presents a hardware and software platform that uses Internet of Things (IoTFlood) to generate flood alerts to agencies responsible for monitoring by sending automatic messages about the situation of rivers. Research design involved laboratory and field scenarios, simulating floods using mockups, and later tested on the Mundaú River, state of Alagoas, Brazil, where flooding episodes have already occurred. As a result, a low-cost, modular and scalable IoT platform was achieved, where sensor data can be accessed through a web interface or smartphone, without the need for existing infrastructure at the site where the IOTFlood solution was installed using affordable hardware, open source software and free online services for the viewing of collected data.
