Amphibia, Anura, Coastal Zone, state of Piauí, Northeastern Brazil
Authors: Loebmann Daniel , Mai Ana Cecília Giacometti
Published: November 2015

Amphibians are an important component of terrestrial and aquatic freshwater communities worldwide. Especially to the Northern coastal zone of Brazil, the knowledge about amphibian communities is very scarce. We have studied amphibian assemblages along the coastal strip zone of the state of Piauí for two years, covering a distance of ca. 70 km. It was possible to prepare a list of 21 anurans from 6 families (Microhylidae, Hylidae, Leptodactylidae, Cycloramphidae, Leiuperidae, and Bufonidae). All species are common and widely distributed in Brazilian territory, tinga biome. The results are important to amplify the knowledge on the biodiversity found at the knowledge on the biodiveristy found at the coastal zone  of the state of Piauí.

Authors: Cáceres Nilton Carlos , Carmignotto Ana Paula , Fischer Erich , Santos Carolina Ferreira
Published: November 2015

The aim of this paper is to provide a checklist of flying and non-flying mammal species which occur in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, delimiting species by vegetation domains and vulnerability. Records were based on specimens in museums, literature, and only eventually on photos (by camera traps). There are 151 mammal species reported or collected in the state, comprising 10 orders and 29 families. The richest orders were Chiroptera (61 spp.), Rodentia (35), Carnivora (18), and Didelphimorphia (16). The richest families were Phyllostomidae (33 species), Cricetidae (23), Didelphidae (16), Molossidae (13), Vespertilionidae (9), Felidae (7), and Dasypodidae (6). Cerrado was the richest domain (117 spp.) followed by Pantanal (110). According to the Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), 17 species are threatened; they are species of Felidae (n = 6), but also include Canidae (2), Didelphidae (2), Cervidae (1), Dasypodidae (1), Dasyproctidae (1), Mustelidae (1), Myrmecophagidae (1), Phyllostomidae (1), and Tapiridae (1).
Zähne und Gebiss des Pferdes – eine klinisch-anatomische Übersicht
Authors: Staszyk C.
Published: November 2015

Bei der Untersuchung der equinen Mundhöhle können die Zähne numerisch sowie in Hinblick auf ihre Stellung im Gebiss relativ einfach erfasst werden. Des Weiteren lassen sich mit geeigneten Hilfsmitteln die Kauflächen sämtlicher Zähne betrachten und befunden. Dabei ist zu bedenken, dass diese Untersuchungsparameter nicht unveränderlich sind, sondern durch Alterungsprozesse und durch den pferdetypischen starken Abrieb an der Kaufläche kontinuierlich umgestaltet und variiert werden. Basierend auf anatomischen Kenntnissen gilt es, diagnostisch wertvolle Merkmale zu definieren, die es erlauben, zwischen Variationen der gesunden Struktur und tatsächlichen pathologischen Veränderungen zu unterscheiden. Dazu gehört auch eine unzweideutig definierte und angewendete Nomenklatur, die die Besonderheiten der Spezies Pferd angemessen berücksichtigt. Demgemäß werden in diesem Artikel grundlegende anatomische Sachverhalte rekapituliert sowie aktuelle Erkenntnisse zur klinischen Anatomie des Pferdegebisses dargestellt. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf dynamischen Veränderungen im und am Zahn sowie im Gebiss.
Dancing the Black Atlantic: Katherine Dunham’s Research-to-Performance Method
Authors: Osumare Halifu
Published: November 2015

Katherine Dunham (1909-2006) was one of the great dancer/choreographers of the 20th century. As a trained anthropologist and author, her unique contributions formed a marriage between dance and ethnology that developed the archetype of the scholar-artist. I explore her research-to-performance methodology that trail-blazed what has been analyzed by Caribbeanist VèVè Clark as "performance ethnography." Dunham explored Afro-Caribbean culture and dance, as well as her own African American culture. The essay demonstrates how she did this specially in her writings on the Jamaican Moroons and the Vodou of Haiti, recontextualizing the latter in her famous 1945 "Shango" dance work. In the process, Dunham danced the Black Atlantic well before that trope was even conceptualized, and dignified black dance forms of the Americas.

ABSTRACT Amazon river turtles are increasingly threatened by habitat loss and alteration due to the Brazilian energy policy based on construction of hydroelectric dams, meanwhile, populational studies remain scarce. We described the population structure, and established body allometric relationships of Podocnemis unifilis in the Terra do Meio Ecological Station in the Iriri River, tributary of the Xingu River upstream the Belo Monte dam under construction Turtles were captured by hand net and diving in 2012 and 2013 dry seasons, and 2013 rainy season. A total of 728 males, 296 females and four juveniles were captured. Adult sex ratio was male-biased by 9.15♂:1♀. Females were significantly larger than males. Mean straight carapace length was 268.9 ± 46.7 mm (165 - 403) for females; and 232.7 ± 24.8 mm (167 - 303) for males. The sexes were morphologically distinct in function of a proportionally larger plastron, and higher carapace, on females. Allometric relationships between straight carapace length and other morphometric traits were strong for males (R2 range = 0.87 - 0.96and females (R2 range =0.79 - 0.98. Exploitation of P. unifilis in biomass extirpated from the Middle Xingu River may be estimated from body parts found post-consumption by the presented regressions.
Occurrence and evolutionary inferences about Kranz anatomy in Cyperaceae (Poales)
Authors: MARTINS SHIRLEY , ALVES MARCCUS , SCATENA VERA L.
Published: November 2015

ABSTRACT Cyperaceae is an angiosperm family with the greatest diversity of species with Kranz anatomy. Four different types of Kranz anatomy (chlorocyperoid, eleocharoid, fimbristyloid and rhynchosporoid) have been described for this angiosperm family, and the occurrence and structural characteristics of these types are important to trace evolutionary hypotheses. The purpose of this study was to examine the available data on Cyperaceae Kranz anatomy, emphasizing taxonomy, geographic distribution, habitat and anatomy, to infer the potential origin of the Kranz anatomy in this family. The results showed that the four types of Kranz anatomy (associated with C4 photosynthesis) in Cyperaceae emerged numerous times in unrelated phylogenetic groups. However, the convergence of these anatomical types, except rhynchosporoid, was observed in certain groups. Thus, the diverse origin of these species might result from different environmental pressures that promote photorespiration. Greater variation in occurrence of Kranz anatomy and anatomical types was observed inEleocharis, whose emergence of the C4 pathway was recent compared with other genera in the family, and the species of this genus are located in aquatic environments.

Metodologia feminista e direitos reprodutivos no Centro de Saúde Santa Rosa, Niterói (RJ)
Authors: Silva Elaine França da
Published: November 2015

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo examinar práticas feministas e femininas, em especial, aquelas presentes em uma pedagogia voltada para o processo de empoderamento político das mulheres, a Linha da Vida, largamente utilizada nas lutas dos anos de 1980 por direitos reprodutivos e, mais especificamente, pela instituição do Programa de Assistência Integral à Saúde da Mulher. Essa pedagogia, propagada no Brasil, marca a segunda onda feminista, estimulando o protagonismo das mulheres, favorecendo a tomada de consciência e definindo orientações de lutas pelas transformações desejadas. Para tanto, este trabalho apresenta um estudo tomado da experiência do Centro de Saúde Santa Rosa, em Niterói (RJ), a partir de 1984.

Authors: Ornelas Antonio Lima , Teixeira Maria Gracinda Carvalho
Published: November 2015

O estudo das políticas públicas pode ser compreendido como um campo interdisciplinar, o que chama a atenção para o seu diálogo setorial. Nesse sentido, a saúde apresenta-se como uma temática ampla capaz de unificar os demais setores. O Projeto Teias surge no território de Manguinhos como proposta de política pública intersetorial, em que pese as discordâncias referentes à sua formulação. O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir com o debate contemporâneo acerca da intersetorialidade, explorando principalmente suas fragilidades e conflitos, a fim de situá-la dentro de um possível novo referencial teórico-empírico, partindo da experiência do Projeto Teias-Escola Manguinhos.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo foi compreender processos de transmissão da informação em uma Comunidade Ribeirinha Sul-Amazônica (CRSA) no Baixo Madeira para auxiliar as estratégias de Atenção Básica à Saúde (ABS). Os dados foram coletados por meio de conversas no modelo de entrevistas abertas, no decorrer de quatro expedições. Foram elaborados dois sociogramas. Verificou-se tratar-se de rede densa, do líder com centralidade, da existência de cliques e de dominância de laços fracos. Os resultados procedentes desta análise foram conjugados à Matriz FOFA, observando-se que: (a) a Fortaleza do grupo reside na centralidade, intermediação e proximidade do líder, na densidade e na coesão; (b) como Oportunidades, a comunidade é aberta a contatos externos; (c) como Fraquezas, observam-se pouca autonomia, baixa resiliência e dependência da comunidade em relação ao líder; (d) como Ameaças, identifica-se imposição de modelos externos. Conclui-se que a informação circula a partir do líder, o que leva à baixa capacidade de resiliência da rede perante possibilidades de imposição de modelos externos. Essas informações são relevantes no planejamento, na execução, na avaliação e na eventual reformulação de ações de saúde pela ABS em comunidades sensíveis a mudanças determinadas por modelos impostos.

Resumo Este trabalho é um ensaio sobre as relações entre infância e filosofia. Sócrates e J.-F. Lyotard são as duas figuras principais que o inspiram. O primeiro, como um infante da filosofia, alguém que deu à filosofia uma infância como modo de vida, não apenas cronológica. O segundo, a partir de seu conceito de infantia, como forma do inumano que acompanha o ser humano na sua vida toda. A partir dessas inspirações, este ensaio busca tecer diversas relações da infância e da filosofia com conceitos como tempo, escola, política, escrita e arte.
MARCELINO PAN Y VINO UNA PELÍCULA FUNDACIONAL DEL ENMASCARAMIENTO DE LA ORFANDAD POLÍTICA
Authors: Grandis Rita De
Published: November 2015

Resumen Marcelino pan y vino (1954) del director húngaro Ladislao Vajda, y con la actuación estelar de Pablito Calvo es un film basado en un cuento popular religioso cuya versión escrita es de la autoría de José María Sánchez Silva (1952) quien participó de la escritura del guión. Este estudio se concentrará en el análisis fílmico; en la inversión de roles genéricos por la cual se feminiza a los frailes en su rol maternal, en la elipsis temporal en la que se sitúa la historia (1808-14), en el origen misterioso de Marcelino, entre los elementos más salientes. Asimismo se demostrará mediante los prejuicios religiosos y la represión política como el film enmascara el trauma de la Guerra civil española y los cientos de niños huérfanos como resultado del conflicto. Finalmente, se concluirá vinculando el film con el monumento del Valle de los Caídos como otro gesto simbólico religioso de reconciliación sobre la Guerra fratricida.

Published: November 2015

Abstract There are few studies in tropical regions exploring the use of leaf breakdown process as a functional tool to assess anthropic disturbance on aquatic ecosystems. We assessed the effects of water pollution due to human activities on the leaf breakdown rate of Picramnia sellowii in streams of the southeastern Brazil. The experiment was carried out for 60 days in three reference streams and three streams impaired by organic pollution and absence of riparian vegetation. Three litter bags were incubated in each stream containing 3 ± 0.05 g of P. sellowii leaves. The reference streams presented higher values of dissolved oxygen and lower values of nutrients, turbidity, electrical conductivity, total impermeable area and water temperature. The leaf breakdown rate (k) differed significantly between the reference (k = 0.014 ± 0.003 d–1) and impaired streams (k = 0.005 ± 0.001 d–1). The leaves incubated in the reference streams contained greater fungal biomass (measured as ergosterol concentration) and abundance of invertebrates, as well as greater presence of shredders, with k values being related to the biomass of these organisms. Overall, there were clear differences between the leaf mass loss in the reference and impaired streams. These results reinforce the negative effect of urbanization on leaf breakdown and fungal and shredder biomass.

Published: November 2015

The Mourão River basin is located on the central western region of the Paraná State – Brazil, between coordinates 23º 44’ - 24º 25 South latitude and 52º 12’ - 52º 30’ West longitude, between 270 and 820 m above sea level, and 1,648.21 km2 drainage area. Water quality was evaluated by monitoring physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. Monthly samplings were performed for a year at five sites in the basin for analysis of: pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, total phosphorus, turbidity, total solids, volatile solids and fecal coliforms. The results of the evaluated parameters showed higher values than the limits set by CONAMA Resolution 357 from 2005 for Class 2 in some samples. The Water Quality Index (WQI) indicated that 72% of samples had average quality and 28% had good quality for the Mourão River basin. Higher values of WQI were observed after rainfall period with median of 75 compared to the dry period with median of 62. The source of the Mourão River is contaminated with fecal coliforms, evidencing the real need to treat sewage in rural areas.
Biomonitoring the genotoxic potential of the air on Tradescantia pallida var. purpurea under climatic conditions in the Sinos River basin, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Published: November 2015

Abstract The present study evaluated the genotoxic effects of the atmospheric air on Tradescantia pallida var. purpurea in urban areas with different intensities of vehicular traffic and in riparian forest fragments in the Sinos River Basin (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), considering the influence of climatic conditions prevailing in these environments. Bimonthly, from May 2012 to March 2013, cuttings with flower buds were exposed for 8 h in urban and riparian forest environments in the municipalities of Caraá, Taquara and Campo Bom in the upper, middle and lower sections, respectively, of the Sinos River Basin. Simultaneously, negative controls were made and climatic data were recorded. Micronuclei (MCN) frequencies were determined in young tetrads of pollen mother cells and expressed as MCN/100 tetrads. Significantly higher MCN frequencies were observed in buds exposed in urban and riparian forest environments in Taquara (up to 7.23 and 4.80, respectively) and Campo Bom (up to 4.90 and 4.23, respectively) than in buds exposed in Caraá (up to 2.90 and 2.50, respectively), in the majority of samplings, and in relation to the negative control (up to 1.93) in all months. Over the course of the period monitored, there were significant variations in MCN frequencies at all sampling points, with the exception of the urban environment in Caraá. For the urban environments, relation between the MCN frequency, vehicular traffic and mean temperature was observed. For the riparian forest fragments, there was no association between MCN frequency and climatic factors. Tradescantia pallida var. purpurea can be considered a useful tool to point out areas with increased atmospheric pollution, since the exposure of plants under severe climatic conditions is avoided to minimize their negative influence on the formation of micronuclei.

Published: November 2015

Abstract Several environmental parameters may influence biological processes of several aquatic invertebrates, such as the Monogenea. Current analysis investigates oviposition, hatching success and infestation of Aphanoblastella mastigatus, a parasite of the silver catfish Rhamdia quelen at different temperatures (~ 24 and 28 °C) and salinity (by adding sodium chloride to water, at concentrations 0, 5 and 9 g/L) in laboratory. There was no significant difference in oviposition rate and in A. mastigatus infestation success at 24 and 28 °C. On the other hand, the concentration 9 g/L of sodium chloride in the water impaired the parasite’s survival and the viability of the eggs. Results show that its usage is efficient as a possible prophylactic treatment. Eclosion rate of A. mastigatus’s eggs was significantly higher at 28 °C, although it was significantly less from 5 g/L. Two oviposition peaks (06h15 and 18h15) occurred during a 24-hour period, or rather, during the highest variations in luminosity. Further studies are recommended with greater temperature intervals and more intense experimental infestations to verify the effects of temperature in the life span and infestation success of A. mastigatus.

Published: November 2015

Spatial and temporal distribution of stream macroalgae in streams from southeastern Brazil were assessed for one year. The fluctuations in macroalgal species composition and environmental factors were monitored monthly. The region exhibit a tropical climate, with defined rainy and dry seasons. Nineteen species were found, with a predominance of Chlorophyta (52.7% of the species), followed by Cyanobacteria (26.3%), Ochrophyta and Rhodophyta (10.5% each). Scytonema arcangeli had the highest number of records (63.6%), while Mougeotia capucina occurred in all sampling sites. Community structure had low similarity (20-26%) and the environmental factors showed a weak contribution to the distribution pattern observed. Despite this, the light availability at the stream-bed seems to be a major influence on the macroalgal seasonal dynamics. We suggest that macroalgae communities are predominantly composed of rare species, and this could explain the lack of a clear spatial and temporal variation pattern of these organisms.

Published: November 2015

RESUMO Este artigo analisa os principais aspectos da Reforma da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) em Portugal, que culminaram na implantação das Unidades de Saúde Familiar (USF), ampliação do acesso e melhoria no processo de coordenação dos cuidados. Identifica avanços e limites da reforma na APS portuguesa, que, apesar do contexto social e histórico distinto, podem subsidiar as políticas de saúde no Brasil. Realizou-se um estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa, em Portugal, elegendo-se quatro USF na Região Norte, uma USF na Região de Lisboa/Vale do Tejo e dois Agrupamentos de Centros de Saúde (Aces) na Região Norte. Foram realizadas 20 entrevistas semiestruturadas, com observação sistemática e análise documental. O sucesso da reforma destaca-se na dimensão micropolítica, ou seja, na criação das USF como processo voluntário de adesão dos profissionais de saúde, o que permite certa estabilidade mesmo em tempos de crise. A Reforma da APS em Portugal é considerada um “evento extraordinário”, um exemplo bem-sucedido de intervenção nas reformas organizacionais na Europa em favor da coordenação dos cuidados por médicos generalistas.
HUMBOLDT ENTRE A FILOSOFIA DA NATUREZA E A CIÊNCIA MODERNA
Authors: Brito Thiago
Published: November 2015

RESUMO Esse trabalho visa identificar a influência do pensamento alemão, sobretudo, da filosofia da natureza na “ciência moderna” de Humboldt. Este traz dos filósofos a concepção do todo harmônico da natureza como organismo ao reconhecer a existência de uma conexão entre as forças da natureza e sua forma captada pela intuição. A filosofia da natureza expõe o laço entre o mundo visível e o mundo superior que escapa aos sentidos. Humboldt, no entanto, não se preocupa apenas com a contemplação da natureza, mas também busca medi-la, aproximando-a de seus olhos para compreender suas conexões internas. As técnicas e os instrumentos científicos são, também, uma extensão de seu olhar e de sua mão. Humboldt deseja aliar a mensuração e a quantificação com o gozo proporcionado pela intuição intelectual no contato com a paisagem. O Cosmos, portanto, se apresenta como uma totalidade a ser decifrada por meio de observações e comparações, mas também através de uma percepção estética dos fenômenos naturais.
TIPOLOGÍA Y USOS DEL SUELO EN AGROECOSISTEMAS DEL VALLE DEL GUAMUEZ, PUTUMAYO – COLOMBIA

Published: November 2015

RESUMEN Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar diferentes agroecosistemas existentes en una región del departamento de Putumayo (Colombia) y su relación sociocultural con los contextos productivos y de conservación del territorio, con base en los elementos conceptuales y metodológicos que ofrece la agroecología. Para ello se diseñó un estudio de métodos mixtos por el cual se aplicaron metodologías de análisis de suelos y valoración de aspectos culturales por medio de herramientas cualitativas tipo entrevista y grupos de discusión. En el análisis se tuvo como base el concepto de estructura ecológica principal del paisaje (EEP) y principios de la agroecología, orientado por un análisis etno-agrícola del fenómeno. Como resultado se identificaron tres tipos de sistemas productivos, donde coexisten grupos de indígenas con colonos y población flotante que han desarrollado diferentes procesos de adaptación ecosistémicos. Esta heterogeneidad implica, por lo menos, dos modos de vida diferentes: uno, de tipo “endógeno”, campesino – colonos y ligado con las comunidades indígenas, y el otro, mediado por la visión clásica del desarrollo económico. En este sentido, todos los habitantes, sin importar en qué modo de vida se inscriben, se ven abocados a superar las limitantes biofísicas y ecosistémicas del territorio, agravadas en la región por los procesos de tala y mal uso de las tierras, que han generado, en muchos sectores, procesos severos de degradación del medio natural incluyendo fenómenos irreversibles de erosión en surcos y cárcavas. Este deterioro se expresa en disminuciones que limitan significativamente las posibilidades de subsistencia y de acumulación de los habitantes locales.
Parques tecnológicos: entre inovação e renda imobiliária no contexto da cidade do Recife
Authors: Lacerda Norma , Fernandes Ana Cristina
Published: November 2015

Resumo Em geral, parques tecnológicos são implantados em espaços virtuosos de integração competitiva. É o caso do Porto Digital, situado no Centro Histórico do Recife (CHR) – mais especificamente no Bairro do Recife – e lançado no ano 2000, pelo Governo do Estado de Pernambuco. Para recepcioná-lo, investimentos em infraestruturas vêm, desde então, sendo realizados pelo setor público e imóveis vem sendo recuperados tanto por este setor quanto pela esfera privada. Ademais, para atrair as empresas, incentivos financeiros e fiscais foram e continuam sendo ofertados. Todo esse aparato de recepção/atração vem significando mudanças na dinâmica espacial do mercado imobiliário no CHR, bem como nos preços nele praticado. Frente a tais evidências, o presente artigo tem como objetivo verificar a importância do componente imobiliário do Projeto Porto Digital, inibindo a criação de mecanismos capazes de recuperar a mais valia social proveniente da valorização imobiliária.

Published: November 2015

RESUMO A Bacia de Salta localiza-se no noroeste argentino e sua origem está relacionada a um rifte intracontinental, formado durante o Cretáceo e início do Paleógeno. Subdivide-se em quatro sub-bacias (Lomas de Olmedo a leste; Sey a oeste; Tres Cruces a norte; e Metán-Alemania a sul) que foram preenchidas por sedimentos dos Subgrupos Pirgua (fase sin-rifte), Balbuena e Santa Bárbara (fase sag ). O Subgrupo ou Supersequência Balbuena é dividido em quatro sequências: Balbuena I, II, III e IV, da base para o topo. O presente estudo identificou filamentos microbianos em imagens geradas pelo microscópio eletrônico de varredura em amostras de estromatólitos e laminitos da Sequência Balbuena III (Maastrichtiano/Daniano) da Formação Yacoraite, na Sub-bacia Metán-Alemania, região do dique Cabra Corral, distrito de Coronel Moldes, Argentina. A ocorrência desses filamentos, identificados em calcários formados em períodos de clima árido e depositados no intervalo de lago fechado da sequência em estudo, indica a influência de atividade biológica na formação dessas rochas. A identificação dos filamentos microbianos, preservados a partir de estruturas de cianobactérias, auxilia a interpretação paleoambiental, uma vez que a ocorrência desses microorganismos é limitada à zona fótica e é comum a ambientes estressantes. Os laminitos da área de estudo foram interpretados como formados em planícies lamosas supralitorâneas na zona vadosa, enquanto os estromatólitos se formaram em ambiente sublitorâneo, estando constantemente submersos. Além dos microbialitos, ocorrem na Sequência Balbuena III fácies carbonáticas, siliciclásticas e mistas, depositadas em ambiente lacustre.

Published: November 2015

L-3-n-butylphthalide (L-NBP) is a naturally occurring antioxidant, which can be used for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and vascular dementia. This study evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of L-NBP tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers. This was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single- and multiple-dose study. Subjects were assigned to receive a single dose of L-NBP tablet at either 80, 160, 320, or 480 mg (n=40), or multiple doses of 160 mg twice daily for 7 days (n=12). Plasma samples were analyzed with LC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters of L-NBP were calculated using non-compartmental analysis with WinNonlin software. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. All adverse events (AEs) were mild and of limited duration; AEs in this study occurred less frequently and more mildly than AEs listed for the DL-NBP soft capsule. No serious adverse event (SAE), death or withdrawal from the study was observed. In the single-dose study, Cmax was reached at about 1 h, and the mean t1/2 was approximately 13.76 h. Area under curve (AUC) and Cmax increased with dose escalation, but dose proportionality was not observed over the range of 160 to 480 mg. In the multiple-dose study, the steady-state was reached within 3 days with slight accumulation. In summary, the L-NBP tablet was well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects. Slight accumulation appeared after repeated doses.

Cardiovascular complications are relevant due to their frequency and severity on the hypertension scenario. Studies refer Pharmaceutical Care (PC) as capable of decreasing cardiovascular risk rate (%CVR) on hypertensive patients. This study aimed to investigate, through a randomized clinical assay, the influence of PC service on the %CVR of hypertensive patients assisted in a health primary care unit from Fortaleza-Ceará. Two study groups were formed: i. Intervention Group (IG), which received orientation about taking medicines, actions aiming to prevent/solve medicine interactions and adverse effects and non-pharmacological interventions for 9 months and, ii. Control Group (CG), which received traditional assistance of the unit and was monitored during the same period. It was observed a statistically significant reduction on %CVR (10.76 to 7.86; p=0.04) and systolic blood pressure levels (SBP) (137.69 to 131.54; p<0.01) in the IG, while, in the CG, there was no significant alteration. 151 Drug Related Problem (DRP) were identified and it was realized 124 pharmaceutical interventions, with 89.2% of them resulting on solution/prevention of the problem. Our findings indicated that the inclusion of the PC service in the hypertensive health assistance was more effective at the %CVR and the SBP reduction in comparison to the traditional assistance offered.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the knowledge of pharmacists and check their conduct in relation to dispensing of drugs. This is a cross-sectional study performed in four municipalities from South and Southeast of Brazil, which are reference in health national scenario and concentrate 73.6% of national economic activity. Pharmacists who works in community pharmacies were invited to answer a questionnaire prepared by the authors of this study and validated. The main outcome measured was the pharmaceutical knowledge, rated according to the number of correct answers on that questionnaire prepared by the researchers, and professional conduct in relation to dispensing of drugs. The data collection occurred from September to December 2012 and the information obtained were tabulated in duplicate by two independent researchers for later analysis. 486 community pharmacies were visited but only 112 professionals participated in the study. Among the participants, 78.6% (n = 88) did not have adequate knowledge to perform the dispensing of drugs, despite this same number of pharmacists claiming to have participated in conferences and courses after graduation. The main sources of information on drugs used by participants have a low level of scientific evidence. The performance of non-employment related tasks reduces the time available for the care of medication users. In addition, the indiscriminate sale of antimicrobials and the sale of products other than health, mischaracterize the role of the pharmacist in the community pharmacy. There are gaps in the knowledge of professionals, limiting the satisfactory completion of dispensing of drugs. In addition, the excess of other duties and inadequate professional conduct compromise the promotion of the rational use of drugs.

Em regiões afetadas por tectônica convergente é comum a presença de um ou mais elementos alóctones que supostamente foram acrescidos à margem continental. Se esses elementos forem limitados por falhas ou zonas de cisalhamento importantes, são chamados de terrenos. Os terrenos apresentam tamanhos variáveis e, por vezes, representam fragmentos crustais alóctones, que podem apresentar histórias evolutivas individuais anteriores à sua acreção. Terrenos podem ser classificados em função de suas características individuais (estratigráficos, fragmentados ou metamórficos) e pelo tipo de acreção a que foram submetidos (frontal, lateral ou oblíqua). A análise de terrenos representa técnica multidisciplinar utilizada no estudo de cinturões orogênicos que tem como objetivo principal o entendimento dos diversos processos geodinâmicos relacionados a ambientes de subducção e complexos colisionais, sendo amplamente aplicada em diversas regiões do planeta. Em alguns orógenos pré-cambrianos brasileiros tem-se reconhecido padrões que permitem interpretar sua evolução como resultado de processos acrecionários e de colagem de terrenos, descritos em vários segmentos das províncias Tocantins e Borborema.Palavras-Chave: Cinturões orogênicos, tectônica acrescionária, terrenos alóctones. Abstract: TECTONIC ANALYSIS OF TERRANES: METHODOLOGY, APPLICATION IN OROGENIC BELTS AND EXAMPLES FROM TOCANTINS AND BORBOREMA PROVINCES, BRAZIL. In regions affected by convergent tectonics, the presence of some allochtonous elements that were accreted to the continental margin is common. If these elements are bounded by important faults or shear zones, they are called terranes. Terranes present variable sizes and may represent allochtonous crustal fragments, with individual evolutive history previous to their accretion to the continental margin. Terranes can be classified as a function of its individual characteristics (stratigraphic, disrupted or metamorphic) and formed by frontal, lateral or oblique accretion. Terrane analysis represents a multidisciplinary technique used in studying orogenic belts that aims the understanding of several processes related to subduction and collisional complexes. Certain patterns recognized in some Brazilian Precambrian orogens allow to interpret their evolution as the result of accretion tectonic events recorded in the Tocantins and Borborema provinces.Key-words: Orogenic belts, Accretion Tectonics, Allochtonous Terranes.
Image noise removal based on total variation
Authors:   Tula State University, Thanh D. , Dvoenko S. ,   Tula State University

Today, raster images are created by different modern devices, such as digital cameras, X-Ray scanners, and so on. Image noise deteriorates the image quality, thus adversely affecting the result of processing. Biomedical images are an example of digital images. The noise in such raster images is assumed to be a mixture of Gaussian noise and Poisson noise. In this paper, we propose a method to remove these noises based on the total variation of the image brightness function. The proposed model is a combination of two famous denoising models, namely, the ROF model and a modified ROF model.

This paper evaluates the current situation of adoption of Cloud based services by Indian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Cloud based services are a set of services that provide software, infrastructure and a platform for internet media and storage using a third party server. Cloud based services provides many benefits as it saves costs associated with investing in hardware and software, provides anytime accessibility, is flexible, and provides scalability. However, it also faces major challenges such as the loss of privacy and security, as well as legal and regulatory challenges. SMEs are said to be the essence of any vibrant economy. They are known to be the economic drivers of developing countries such as India. Cloud based services have grown in developed economies and are starting to pick up in India. This paper analyses the current situation, benefit and challenges of Cloud based services adoption for Indian SMEs. The target population for this study is SMEs in India using Cloud based services, regardless of the field of industry each enterprise is involved in.

Sociometry as a quantitative method for measuring social relationships is a science also focused on social networks. The development of information technologies on both hardware and software aspects brought success stories on social networks, like facebook or twitter. The analysis over these networks is applied in different areas like management consulting, public health and crime/war fighting, just to mention a few. In this research work, we ran an experiment based on mobility of people wearing badges with wireless sensors. The goal of this experiment is to show the phenomenon of homophily, that is the tendency of individuals to associate with similar others, throw a real-time visualization.

Ganancia genética esperada en Acacia mangium en San Carlos, Zona Norte de Costa Rica
Authors: Pavlotzky-Blank Benjamín , Murillo-Gamboa Olman
Published: November 2015

Se evaluó un ensayo de progenie de Acacia mangium conformado por 25 familias provenientes de seis procedencias derivadas. El ensayo fue establecido en San Carlos, zona norte de Costa Rica, en el año 2006 y evaluado en el 2007 y en el 2010. Se utilizó material genético seleccionado por GENFORES, Cooperativa de Conservación y Mejoramiento Genético Forestal, en Costa Rica y Colombia. Cada familia estuvo representada por 48 progenies, plantadas en cuatro parejas distribuidas en forma aleatoria dentro de cada uno de los seis bloques del ensayo. En 2007 se midió el diámetro a la altura del pecho (dap), en 2010 se midió dap y se calculó el incremento diamétrico, número de trozas comerciales, presencia de bifurcación, altura de bifurcación y la calidad de las primeras cuatro trozas; además, se evaluó la adaptabilidad al sitio. Con las mediciones se determinó el volumen de madera comercial por árbol y hectárea. Los datos fueron analizados por medio del software SELEGEN, para obtener los parámetros genéticos. Todos los caracteres, excepto adaptabilidad, registraron valores de heredabilidad media familiar superiores a 0,62. Si se seleccionaran los dos mejores individuos dentro de las mejores 12 familias, se obtendría una ganancia genética del 31,24 % en volumen comercial/ha a los cuatro años de edad. Esta ganancia correspondería a un volumen comercial en troza de 67,89 m3/ha, a una tasa de 16,97 m3/ha/año. Las procedencias derivadas de Colombia fueron superiores significativamente a los demás materiales evaluados. El análisis de correlación genética entre caracteres mostró que la tasa de crecimiento diamétrico se expresa desde temprana edad en esta especie, lo que podría ser utilizado a futuro en una selección a menor edad.

Bioeconomics and biodiversity in harvested metacommunities: a patch‐occupancy approach
Authors: Moberg Emily A. , Kellner Julie B. , Neubert Michael G.
Published: November 2015

We develop a coupled economic‐metacommunity model to investigate the trade‐off between diversity and profit for multispecies systems. The model keeps track of the presence or absence of species in habitat patches. With this approach, it becomes (relatively) simple to include more species than can typically be included in models that track species population density. We use this patch‐occupancy framework to understand how profit and biodiversity are impacted by (1) community assembly, (2) pricing structures that value species equally or unequally, and (3) the implementation of marine reserves. We find that when local communities assemble slowly as a result of facilitative colonization, there are lower profits and optimal harvest rates, but the trade‐off with diversity may be either large or small. The trade‐off is diminished if later colonizing species are more highly valued than early colonizers. When the cost of harvesting is low, maximizing profits tends to sharply reduce biodiversity and maximizing diversity entails a large harvesting opportunity cost. In the models we analyze, marine reserves are never economically optimal for a profit‐maximizing owner. However, management using marine reserves may provide low‐cost biodiversity protection if the community is over‐harvested.
