Conflict resolution in Spanish bilinguals and monolinguals
Evidence of positive effects on nonlinguistic conflict monitoring and conflict resolution have been found in Catalan-Spanish bilinguals compared to Spanish monolinguals (Costa et al., 2009). This study partially replicated the Attentional Network Task (ANT) administered to the Catalan bilinguals on another Spanish bilingual population: Galician-Spanish bilinguals. The study tested 25 bilinguals and 18 monolinguals on two high-monitoring versions of the ANT: one with 50% of congruent trials and another with 75% congruent trials. It also introduced an English general proficiency test and a self-reported bilingual language use scale to assess foreign language proficiency and bilingual language use. The dataset includes the information from the questionnaires, the results from the LexTALE used to test English proficiency and the results from the flanker task in the ANT

Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

After publication of this article [1], the authors noted that the given names and family names of all authors had been inverted, and are therefore incorrect in the original article. In the original article, the author names appear as the following: Gallone Maria Serena, Gallone Maria Filomena, Larocca Angela Maria Vittoria, Germinario Cinzia and Tafuri Silvio. However, this is incorrect, and the author names should appear as per the below: Maria Serena Gallone, Maria Filomena Gallone, Angela Maria Vittoria Larocca, Cinzia Germinario, Silvio Tafuri.

Water table depth affects persistence and productivity of alfalfa in Central Argentina
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most sown perennial legumes in the world. Water table depth can be both an opportunity and a threat for this crop. In this study we analyzed 20 years of field experimental data taken in Rafaela (Argentina) to study the impact of water table depth on productivity and persistence (plant cover; %) of alfalfa. The average 4-year cumulative above-ground productivity of different alfalfa genotypes was 51.8 Mg DM ha−1, with a mean final persistence of 54%. Water table depth explained 49% of the variance for productivity and 47% of that of persistence, and maximum productivity and persistence were observed when the water table depth was below 4 m depth. Our results indicated that there was a negative impact of shallow water tables on alfalfa production under rain-fed production conditions. These results could be used to inform management decisions and crop simulation models.EEA RafaelaFil: Berhongaray, Gonzalo. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina.

Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia
Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
Early breeding protects anuran eggs from Saprolegnia infection
Here, we studied the ecological significance of Saprolegnia infections (‘saprolegniasis’) on the survival and development of two populations of the endemic Patagonian anuran Pleurodema thaul (Anura, Leiuperidae). We found that four different Saprolegnia species infected eggs and embryos of P. thaul, indicating that the infection by these ‘zoosporic fungi’ was different in each anuran population and among different cohorts. Late anuran cohorts generally showed a higher incidence of infection than early cohorts, but we observed no clear overall pattern between populations. In addition, in laboratory experiments, we determined that some of the Saprolegnia species induce early hatching, and that hatching timing was variable between populations. In summary, we found that early breeding (by underlying priority effects) could improve the survival of the earliest cohorts of P. thaul by allowing them to survive the stress imposed by epidemic events of Saprolegnia.Fil: Perotti, Maria Gabriela.
