ABSTRACT The gingival cyst of the adult (GCA) is a rare odontogenic cyst, consisting of 0.3% of all odontogenic cysts. This case report, based on CARE guidelines for case reports, aims to present a case of a 52-year-old female patient with a symptomatic translucent nodule in the upper left anterior gingiva, measuring approximately 6mm. Excisional biopsy was performed, and the histological examination revealed multiple cystic cavities lined by the squamous epithelium of varying thickness with focal areas of nodular thickenings. The presence of clusters of cells with clear cytoplasm within epithelial thickenings was observed. PAS staining was negative in clear cells. The diagnosis of the GCA was established. Despite its rarity, GCA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gingival lesions. Conservative surgical treatment proved to be effective, with no signs of recurrence.

Resumo Níveis elevados de ambivalência estão associados a piores resultados e abandono terapêutico. Este estudo teve como objetivo a adaptação transcultural e avaliação das propriedades psicométricas do Questionário de Ambivalência em Psicoterapia (QAP). Após adaptação cultural do instrumento, foram avaliados 181 indivíduos em psicoterapia de diversas abordagens, em clínicas-escola e consultórios particulares. O QAP foi avaliado quanto à estrutura interna e relação com variáveis externas. Na análise fatorial confirmatória, o modelo com melhor ajuste foi composto por três dimensões: duas de primeira ordem - Desmoralização e Alternância - e uma de segunda ordem - Ambivalência. A consistência interna foi 0,86. Na relação com variáveis externas, o QAP se correlacionou moderadamente com medidas de desconforto psicológico (OQ-45- Outcome Questionnaire) (r = 0,65) e motivação para mudança (URICA - University of Rhode Island Change Assessment): contemplação (r = 0,36) e manutenção (r = 0,37). A versão brasileira do QAP demonstrou ser um instrumento com boas características psicométricas, de aplicação rápida e fácil.

Abstract High levels of ambivalence are associated with poor outcomes and therapeutic abandonment. The objective of this study was to conduct a cross-cultural adaptation and assessment of the psychometric properties of the Ambivalence in Psychotherapy Questionnaire (APQ). After cultural adaptation of the instrument, we assessed 181 individuals undergoing psychotherapy of different approaches in school clinics and private practices. The APQ was validated regarding internal structure and relationship with external variables. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the model with the best fit was composed of three dimensions: two first-order - Demoralization and Wavering - and one second-order - Ambivalence. The internal consistency was 0.86. In relation to external variables, the APQ correlated moderately with measures of psychological distress (OQ-45- Outcome Questionnaire) (r = 0.65) and motivation to change (URICA- University of Rhode Island Change Assessment): contemplation (r = 0.36) and maintenance (r = 0.37). The results indicated that the Brazilian version of the APQ is a suitable instrument, of quick and easy application.

RESUMO: A exploração contínua e insustentável dos recursos naturais promove a degradação ambiental e ameaça a conservação das florestas secas no mundo. Essa situação expõe a fragilidade e a necessidade de estudar as transformações da paisagem. É necessário considerar o quantitativo de biomassa e o estabelecimento de estratégias para monitorar distúrbios naturais e antrópicos. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre o índice de vegetação e a biomassa estimada por meio de equações alométricas em diferentes áreas da caatinga brasileira a partir de imagens de satélite. Este procedimento é realizado estimando-se a biomassa de nove fragmentos de floresta tropical seca com o uso em equações alométricas. As delimitações das áreas foram obtidas da coleção da Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária, a partir dos dados dendrométricos coletados no período entre 2011 e 2012. As variáveis espectrais foram obtidas a partir das imagens ortorretificadas do satélite RapidEye. A biomassa acima do solo variou de 6,88 a 123,82 Mg.ha-1. Os valores de SAVI para os coeficientes L = 1 e L = 0,5, NDVI e EVI variaram de 0,1835 a 0,4294, 0,2197 a 0,5019, 0,3622 a 0,7584 e 0,0987 a 0,3169, respectivamente. As relações entre a biomassa estimada e os índices de vegetação foram moderadas, com coeficiente de correlação (rs) variando entre 0,64 e 0,58. A equação mais bem ajustada foi a Equação do SAVI, com coeficiente de determinação foi R² = 0,50, R2aj = 0.49, RMSE = 17.18 Mg.ha-1 e erro médio absoluto de predição (MAE) = 14.07 Mg.ha-1, confirmando a importância do índice SAVI na estimativa da biomassa aérea da Caatinga.

ABSTRACT: Continued unsustainable exploitation of natural resources promotes environmental degradation and threatens the preservation of dry forests around the world. This situation exposes the fragility and the necessity to study landscape transformations. In addition, it is necessary to consider the biomass quantity and to establish strategies to monitor natural and anthropic disturbances. Thus, this research analyzed the relationship between vegetation index and the estimated biomass using allometric equations in different Brazilian caatinga forest areas from satellite images. This procedure is performed by estimating the biomass from 9 dry tropical forest fragments using allometric equations. Area delimitations were obtained from the Embrapa collection of dendrometric data collected in the period between 2011 and 2012. Spectral variables were obtained from the orthorectified images of the RapidEye satellite. The aboveground biomass ranged from 6.88 to 123.82 Mg.ha-1. SAVI values were L = 1 and L = 0.5, while NDVI and EVI ranged from 0.1835 to 0.4294, 0.2197 to 0.5019, 0.3622 to 0.7584, and 0.0987 to 0.3169, respectively. Relationships among the estimated biomass and the vegetation indexes were moderate, with correlation coefficients (Rs) varying between 0.64 and 0.58. The best adjusted equation was the SAVI equation, for which the coefficient of determination was R² = 0.50, R2aj = 0.49, RMSE = 17.18 Mg.ha-1 and mean absolute error of prediction (MAE) = 14.07 Mg.ha-1, confirming the importance of the Savi index in estimating the caatinga aboveground biomass.

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo estudar a representação de quatro candidatos (dois homens e duas mulheres) nas últimas eleições presidenciais brasileiras em um corpus de comentários publicados online. Os comentários foram postados como parte da recepção de uma série de entrevistas veiculadas e transmitidas pelo canal oficial do YouTube por um programa de entrevistas entre aqueles com a melhor classificação em uma televisão pública brasileira. O referencial teórico é a gramática sistêmico-funcional. O software de raspagem de dados on-line coletou dados anonimamente. Todos os comentários foram processados usando o software para gerenciamento de corpora, e os resultados quantitativos foram plotados utilizando aplicativos específicos. Os resultados mostram que todos candidatos tendem a ser julgados por suas opções políticas (direita ou esquerda) e origem (região). Todavia as mulheres também são julgadas por sua aparência física, sendo submetidas a comentários sexistas e sexualizados.

ABSTRACT This article aims at studying the representation of four candidates (two male and two female) in the last Brazilian Presidential elections in a corpus of comments posted online. The comments were posted as part of the reception of a series of interviews aired and broadcasted through official YouTube Channel by a top-rated talk show in a Brazilian Public Television. The theoretical framework lays on Systemic-Functional Grammar. Online Data scraping software collected data anonymously. All comments were processed using software for corpora management, and quantitative results were plotted using Gephi. The results show that male candidates tend to be judged by their political options and social-political origin. They represent political saviours or possible political menaces. Likewise, women are judged for their political and ideological affiliations. However, their physical appearance is continuously evaluated as they are subjected to sexist and sexualised comments.

ABSTRACT Maintenance policies must consider system reliability and the risk of accidents in systems where equipment failures represent a risk. In this context, this work proposes an age replacement policy with Bayesian imperfect repair and considers the “as low as reasonably practicable” (ALARP) principle. The policy determines the age of replacement that minimizes the long-run cost per unit time when the failure rate is ALARP. The model also supposes that failures are either minimally or perfectly repaired, depending on the skill of the maintainer. Numerical applications are performed with and without the disproportion factor in ALARP, both for infinite and one-replacement-cycle horizons. The results show that considering imperfect repair leads to an increase in replacement costs and a decrease in the optimal replacement age when considering the ALARP principle. The model applies to situations where there are conflicts of interest between maintenance management and risk; that is, cases where the aim is to reduce the cost of replacing equipment and minimize the risks.

Abstract Given the recognition of the Open Education Resources (OER) movement in the global scenario, this paper provides an overview of the OER implementation efforts, based on two documents: OER Global Report 2017 and Ljubljana OER Action Plan 2017. The first analyses the OER progress from 2012 to 2017. The second presents recommended actions and strategies to harness the potential of open-licensed resources. We argue that these documents helped to compose the actions and strategies for the 2019 UNESCO OER Recommendation, which, in turn, motivated UNESCO and partnerships to produce an OER Guide under the Pandemic COVID-19 in 2020. Aligned with the OER experiences brought by the Guide, we underscore the importance of openly creating and sharing teaching and learning materials to support educational practices during Covid-19.

Resumo Alguns tratamentos para a depressão baseados na Internet se mostraram efetivos e apresentaram vantagens em relação a tratamentos presenciais (potencialmente menos caros, com horários mais flexíveis e com disponibilidade em áreas remotas). Este artigo descreve as características de indivíduos que procuraram ajuda de uma intervenção autoguiada on-line e explora hipóteses sobre preditores de adesão ao programa. Baseado em uma amostra de 282 indivíduos que preencheram questionários de triagem, verificou-se que os participantes eram majoritariamente mulheres, tinham em média 34,36 anos, foram recrutados em sua maioria pelo Facebook, apresentaram diagnóstico psiquiátrico prévio feito por algum profissional de saúde mental, apresentaram percepção de autoeficácia moderada e sintomas depressivos moderadamente severos. Os respondentes que relataram condições comórbidas apresentaram mais chances de avançar para as entrevistas diagnósticas, e estar ou não em tratamento não influenciou a chegada às entrevistas. Estas descrições podem auxiliar na identificação de estratégias para se atingir mais indivíduos e para otimizar o desenho das intervenções on-line para brasileiros que as buscam.

Abstract Specific psychological treatments for depressive disorders delivered on the Internet have shown effectiveness and presented advantages over face-to-face treatments (potentially less expensive, flexible schedules, available in remote areas). This paper aims to describe the characteristics of those who sought help from an online self-guided intervention for depression and to explore hypotheses about predictors of enrollment to the program. Based on a sample of 282 of individuals who filled in screening questionnaires, we verified that the respondents were mainly female, were on average 34.36 years old, were primarily recruited through Facebook, had been previously diagnosed by mental health professionals, presented moderate self-efficacy perception, and had moderately severe symptoms of depression. Respondents who reported comorbid conditions were more likely to attend enrollment interviews, and being in treatment or not did not influence attendance. Such characterization may provide strategies to reach more people and to optimize the design of interventions targeting help-seeking depressed individuals in Brazil.

RESUMO: Das pastagens naturais cultivadas no sul do Brasil, as do gênero Paspalum são as mais importantes. Um dos fatores que dificultam o cultivo é a disponibilidade de sementes de qualidade, muitas vezes comprometidas pela presença de fungos. Os objetivos deste estudo foram determinar a sensibilidade in vitro de fungos associados a sementes de Paspalum guenoarum ecótipo azulão a determinados fungicidas, medir a eficiência de tratamentos químicos para controle desses fungos e o desempenho fisiológico das sementes. Os fungos associados às sementes, Bipolaris micropus, Epicoccum sorghinum, Curvularia geniculata e Fusarium incarnatum foram testados in vitro contra Carbendazim; Tiram, Fludioxonil; Metalaxil-M, Carboxina; Tiram e Tiofanato-metílico em 0, 1, 2,5, 5, 10 e 30 µg/mL. Este experimento foi conduzido em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado (fatorial 4 × 4 × 6). As variáveis qualitativas foram comparadas pelo teste de Tukey (P ≤ 0,05) e as variáveis quantitativas foram submetidas à análise de regressão. Carbendazim; Tiram e Fludioxonil; Metalaxil-M tiveram os melhores desempenhos fungicidas, cada um inibindo três dos quatro fungos com LD50 abaixo de 1 µg/mL. Posteriormente, esses dois fungicidas foram utilizados isoladamente ou em combinação no teste in vivo. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey (P < 0,05). O tratamento químico das sementes resultou na melhoria de cinco dos seis parâmetros fisiológicos avaliados. A identificação dos fungos primários associados às sementes de Paspalum relatadas neste trabalho, bem como os danos causados por eles, podem ser diminuídos usando medidas apropriadas, como tratamento de sementes.

ABSTRACT: Of the natural pastures grown in southern Brazil, those of the genus Paspalum are the most important. One of the factors that hinder their cultivation is the availability of quality seeds, that are often compromised by the presence of fungi. This study determined the in vitro sensitivity of Paspalum guenoarum ecotype azulão seed-associated fungus to certain fungicides and to measure the efficiency of chemical treatments for fungal control and seed physiological performance. Bipolaris micropus, Epicoccum sorghinum, Curvularia geniculata and Fusarium incarnatum associated with seeds were tested in vitro against Carbendazim; Tiram, Fludioxonil; Metalaxil-M, Carboxina; Tiram and Tiofanato-metílico at 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 30 µg/mL. This experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (factorial 4 × 4 × 6). Qualitative variables were compared using the Tukey test (P ≤ 0.05) and quantitative variables were subjected to regression analysis. Carbendazim; Tiram and Fludioxonil; Metalaxil-M had the best fungicidal performances, each inhibiting three of the four fungi with LD50s below 1 µg/mL. Subsequently, these two fungicides were used alone or in combination in the in vivo test. A completely randomized design was used and the means were compared using the Tukey test (P < 0.05). The chemical treatment of the seeds resulted in improvement of five of the six evaluated physiological parameters. The identification of the primary fungi associated with Paspalum seeds reported in this research, as well as damage done to them, can be diminished using appropriate measures such as seed treatments.

RESUMO Este artigo busca compreender o momento atual, dando um passo atrás, para mostrar que em uma situação anterior à campanha eleitoral de 2018, já havia indícios do populismo digital (CESARINO, 2018): o aparato digital e a mobilização (produção e compartilhamentos de hashtags no Twitter), bem como a tática política de estabelecer um eixo sintagmático amigo-inimigo. Mais especificamente, o intuito aqui é analisar discussões políticas, dentro do quadro linchamento virtual (MACEDO, 2018), de duas maneiras: (i) por suas conexões, utilizando modelos de redes aplicados às redes sociais online, conforme descritos nos trabalhos de Recuero (2005, 2014) e Lima-Lopes (2017, 2018) e; (ii) pelo discurso contido nas postagens, segundo o Sistema de Avaliatividade (MARTIN e WHITE, 2005) e suas aplicações em Língua Portuguesa (VIAN JR et. al, 2010). Foi considerada para esta pesquisa a utilização no Twitter da hashtag #Dia28EuVouTrabalhar, criada e disseminada com o intuito de contrariar a Greve Geral marcada para o dia 28 de abril de 2017, cujo objetivo era protestar contra as reformas trabalhista e da previdência. A raspagem de dados e os grafos de conexão foram feitos com o auxílio dos softwares NodeXL e Gephi, respectivamente. Ao final, observou-se que os principais influenciadores na rede tinham grande importância na disseminação do discurso de ódio, pois o grande número de seguidores possibilitou o espalhamento em larga escala. Vale ressaltar que o nó central da rede estudada era um deputado estadual do Rio de Janeiro e filho de um político com pretensão à presidência da República. A principal avaliação expressa nas postagens, em relação aos sentimentos, foi a insatisfação com o partido político que se manteve na presidência do Brasil por catorze anos e que fora interrompido por um impeachment, no ano anterior a esta greve. Já em relação ao Julgamento, as postagens revelaram uma descrença quanto à ética e confiabilidade tanto em relação aos grevistas quanto aos organizadores. Com isso, pode-se observar que a repetição e padronização de discursos estigmatizados, bem como sua pulverização em mídia social, foram - e ainda são - utilizadas como instrumento para conseguir o apoio popular.

ABSTRACT This article takes a step backwards and tries to understand our current moment by analyzing social media context in a 2017 social hashtag movement. Our data show that prior to the 2018 presidential campaign, there was already evidence of digital populism (CESARINO, 2018). The digital apparatus for mobilization (production and sharing of Twitter hashtags), as well as the political strategy of establishing a friend-enemy syntagmatic axis. More specifically, the aim here is to analyze political discussions, within the framework of virtual lynching (MACEDO, 2018), in two ways: (i) by means of network models applied to online social networks, as described in Recuero’s works (2005, 2014) and Lima-Lopes’ works (2017, 2018) and; (ii) by an analysis of the appraisal discourse (MARTIN and WHITE, 2005) present in some Twitter posts and its applications to Portuguese (VIAN JR et. al, 2010). Our analysis relies on the Twitter hashtag #Dia28EuVouTrabalhar. It was created and disseminated aiming at countering the General Strike scheduled for April 28, 2017, in order to protest against labor and social security reforms. Data scraping and connection graphs were performed with the aid of NodeXL and Gephi software, respectively. As a result, we could observe that the main influencers in the network were of great importance in the dissemination of hate discourse, because the large number of followers allowed such discourse to spread on a large scale. It is worth mentioning that the central node of the studied network was a state deputy from Rio de Janeiro and the son of a politician, who later got elected as the presidency of the Republic. Feelings regarding dissatisfaction were the more common. They were projected towards the political party that was in office in Brazil for fourteen years. Such a party had its last term interrupted by an impeachment in the year previous to this strike. Regarding the Judgment, the posts revealed a disbelief concerning ethics and reliability both in relation to the strikers and the movement organizers. We could observe that the repetition dispersion and standardization of stigmatized discourses were very common tools in the 2017 context. It is also relevant to keep in mind that such strategies still are an important instrument to obtain popular support in social media.

Although psychological treatments for depressive disorders are available, they are often expensive or inaccessible for many. Web-based interventions that require minimal or no contact with therapists have been shown effective. To the best of our knowledge, no study using this treatment format has been conducted in Brazil. The Deprexis program was designed using empirically established principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy to reduce depressive symptoms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Deprexis in Brazil. This randomized controlled trial will include 128 Brazilians with clinically significant depression symptoms or who have been diagnosed with depressive disorder (major depressive disorder or dysthymia), recruited over the internet (Brazilian forums, social networks, or e-mail lists). Individuals with other psychiatric diagnoses that require significant attention (e.g., bipolar disorder, psychosis) will not be included in the trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1) treatment as usual plus immediate access to Deprexis or 2) treatment as usual plus delayed access to Deprexis (after 8 weeks). Participants will be able to obtain other treatment types in addition to the online intervention. If found effective, this web-based intervention would increase the evidence-based care options for depression treatment in Brazil. Clinical trial registration: RBR-6kk3bx, UTN U1111-1212-8998

Resumo No contexto da expansão e diversificação do Ensino Superior brasileiro, o presente texto busca aproximar-se de um tema parcamente explorado na literatura nacional: a relação entre a dilatação deste grau de ensino e a construção e o fortalecimento das comunidades científicas nos estados da federação. O caso alagoano é tomado à análise, com vistas a compreender o desenvolvimento de sua comunidade científica nas duas últimas décadas. Trabalhamos, para tanto, com dados compilados e difundidos pelo Diretório de Grupos de Pesquisa do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, com os quais elaboramos uma caracterização capaz de oferecer suporte para a objetivação da prática da pesquisa e da formação de novos pesquisadores. A experiência alagoana expressa, pois, questões nacionais e locais de forma concomitante, de maneira que seu estudo implica um olhar relacional sobre as reconfigurações recentes do desenvolvimento da ciência no país.

Abstract In the context of the expansion and diversification of Brazilian Higher Education, this paper approaches a theme that has been poorly explored in the national literature: the relationship between the expansion of this educational level and the construction and strengthening of the scientific communities in the states of the country. We analyzed the case of Alagoas aiming to understand the development of its scientific community in the last two decades. We work with data compiled and disseminated by the Directory of Research Groups of Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, based on which we elaborated a characterization capable of providing a support for the objectification of research practice and the training of new researchers. Therefore, the Alagoas experience concomitantly expresses national and local issues, so its study implies a relational look at the recent reconfigurations of the development of science in the country.

RESUMO O coletivo Ni una menos iniciou sua formação em março de 2015 e tem atuado fortemente junto à sociedade argentina, reivindicando a promoção de políticas públicas (leis, projetos, destino de verbas públicas) que promovam uma maior igualdade de gênero e de preservação do bem-estar das mulheres argentinas. Neste artigo, pretendemos analisar os comentários realizados na página oficial do movimento no Facebook postados dois dias antes e dois dias depois da grande e primeira manifestação do movimento, que aconteceu no dia 3 de junho de 2015. Para tanto, utilizamos a Linguística do Corpus (SINCLAIR, 1991) e a Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (HALLIDAY, 1991) como método e teoria que nos permitem vislumbrar aspectos linguísticos que denotam posicionamentos ideológicos, sociais e políticos. Nesse sentido, pela análise do corpus coletado, pode-se perceber como se deu a construção das principais bandeiras do coletivo e as escolhas realizadas como um reflexo da ação dos diversos agentes sociais envolvidos e ativos no processo. O espaço aberto para manifestações e ideias no ambiente de mídias sociais de Ni una menos configurou tal coletivo como um lugar para discussão plural sobre políticas sociais da Argentina.

ABSTRACT The collective Ni Una Menos started in March 2015, and since then it has been actively demanding for public policies (laws, projects, public funds) that promote better gender equality and the preservation of the well-being of Argentinian women. In this article, we seek to study the comments posted on the official page of the movement on Facebook. Our investigation will span across comments posted two days before and two afterwards the first rally promoted by Ni Una a Menos on June 3rd, 2015. We use Corpus Linguistics (SINCLAIR, 1991) and Systemic-Functional Linguistics (HALLIDAY, 1991) as the main theoretical and methodological approaches in order to analyse linguistic aspects that express ideological, social and political positions. The results show how different political positions are represented within the movement and which choices reflect the action of the various active social agents. The open space for the expression of different ideas within the social media environment of Ni Una Menos has established this collective as a place for plural discussion on social policies in Argentina.

Resumo Trata-se de resenha crítica da obra História de vida vivenciada e história de vida narrada: Gestalt e estrutura de autoapresentações biográficas da socióloga alemã Gabriele Rosenthal, traduzida e lançada no Brasil em 2017. O exercício intelectual empreendido pela autora ao situar as histórias de vida e as narrativas biográficas nos horizontes epistemológico, teórico, metodológico e também frente a debates consagrados no interior da Sociologia (tais como: indivíduo e sociedade ou objetividade e subjetividade) ganha aqui centralidade, com vistas a apontar o lugar de uma obra como esta no cenário das ciências sociais no Brasil.

Abstract This is a critical review of the work História de vida vivenciada e história de vida narrada: Gestalt e estrutura de autoapresentações biográficas by the German sociologist Gabriele Rosenthal, translated and released in Brazil in 2017. The focus is put on the intellectual endeavor undertaken by the author to locate life histories and biographical narratives within the epistemological, theoretical, methodological horizons, and also in the scope of sociological debates such as those involving individual and society or objectivity and subjectivity. In doing so, we aim at situating the work in the scenario of Brazilian social sciences.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters, genetic correlations, genetic dissimilarity, and predicted gains with the selection of interspecific apomictic Paspalum plicatulum × Paspalum guenoarum hybrids in relation to seed yield traits. Nineteen genotypes that showed increased forage yield in previous studies were planted in a randomized complete block design with ten blocks. Traits evaluated in this study were: number of tillers/plant, number of reproductive tillers/plant, number of racemes/inflorescence, number of seeds/inflorescence, weight of a thousand seeds, and seed yield. Data were analyzed using a mixed model approach. The genotypes evaluated in our study showed improvement potential in relation to high heritability (H a 2 > 0.50 ), high precision (Acgen> 90%), and genetic dissimilarity (forming three groups) for seed yield traits. Seed yield showed high correlation to reproductive tillers that can be used as indirect selection tools for genetic improvement of seed yield.
