Published: August 2019

Plant natural compounds have great potential as alternative medicines for preventing and treating diseases. Melicope lunu-ankenda is one Melicope species (family Rutaceae), which is widely used in traditional medicine, consumed as a salad and a food seasoning. Consumption of different parts of this plant has been reported to exert different biological activities such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities, resulting in a protective effect against several health disorders including neurodegenerative diseases. Various secondary metabolites such as phenolic acid derivatives, flavonoids, coumarins and alkaloids, isolated from the M. lunu-ankenda plant, were demonstrated to have neuroprotective activities and also exert many other beneficial biological effects. A number of studies have revealed different neuroprotective mechanisms for these secondary metabolites. This review summarizes the most significant and recent studies for neuroprotective activity of M. lunu-ankenda major secondary metabolites in neurodegenerative diseases.

Published: August 2019

l-Buthionine sulfoximine (l-BSO) is an adjuvant drug that is reported to increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to neoplastic agents. Dendrimers are exceptional drug delivery systems and l-BSO nanoformulations are envisaged as potential chemotherapeutics. The absorption of l-BSO at a low wavelength limits its detection by conventional analytical tools. A simple and sensitive method for l-BSO detection and quantification is now reported. In this study, l-BSO was encapsulated in a folate-targeted generation four polyurea dendrimer (PUREG4-FA2) and its release profile was followed for 24 h at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. The protocol uses in situ l-BSO derivatization, by the formation of a catechol-derived orto-quinone, followed by visible detection of the derivative at 503 nm. The structure of the studied l-BSO derivative was assessed by NMR spectroscopy.

Published: August 2019

It is always difficult to assign the peaks of a vibrational spectrum in the far-infrared region. The two distinct peaks seen in many ice phases are still a mystery to date. The normal modes of ice XV were calculated using the CASTEP code based on first-principles density functional theory. On the basis of vibrational modes analysis, we divided the translational modes into three categories: four-bond vibrations, which have the highest energy levels; two-bond vibrations, which have medium levels of energy; and relative vibrations between two sublattices, which have the lowest energy. Whale et al. found that some intramolecular stretching modes include the isolated vibration of only one O–H bond, whereas the others do not vibrate in ice XV. We verified this phenomenon in this study and attributed it to local tetrahedral deformation. Analysis of normal modes, especially in the translation and stretching band of ice XV, clarified the physical insights of the vibrational spectrum and can be used with other ice phases.

Published: August 2019

We determined the effects of a low glycemic-index pulse-based diet (i.e., containing lentils, chick peas, beans, and split peas) compared to a typical hospital diet on insulin sensitivity assessed by the Matsuda index from the insulin and glucose response to a two-hour oral glucose tolerance test, insulin resistance assessed by the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), bone resorption assessed by 24 h excretion of urinary n-telopeptides(Ntx) and cardiovascular risk factors (blood lipids, blood pressure, arterial stiffness and heart rate variability) during bed rest. Using a randomized, counter-balanced cross-over design with one-month washout, six healthy individuals (30 ± 12 years) consumed the diets during four days of bed rest. The Matsuda index, HOMA-IR, urinary Ntx and cardiovascular risk factors were determined at baseline and after the last day of bed rest. Compared to the typical hospital diet, the pulse-based diet improved the Matsuda index (indicating increased insulin sensitivity; baseline to post-bed rest: 6.54 ± 1.94 to 6.39 ± 2.71 hospital diet vs. 7.14 ± 2.36 to 8.75 ± 3.13 pulse-based diet; p = 0.017), decreased HOMA-IR (1.38 ± 0.54 to 1.37 ± 0.50 hospital diet vs. 1.48 ± 0.54 to 0.88 ± 0.37 pulse-based diet; p = 0.022), and attenuated the increase in Ntx (+89 ± 75% hospital diet vs. +33 ± 20% pulse-based diet; p = 0.035). No differences for changes in cardiovascular risk factors were found between the two diet conditions, with the exception of decreased diastolic blood pressure during day three of bed rest in the pulse-based versus hospital diet (61 ± 9 vs. 66 ± 7 mmHg; p = 0.03). A pulse-based diet was superior to a hospital diet for maintaining insulin sensitivity, preventing insulin resistance, attenuating bone resorption and decreasing diastolic blood pressure during four days of bed rest.
Self-Toughening and Self-Enhancement Poly(arylene ether nitrile) with Low Dielectric Constant by Solid Crosslinking Reaction
Authors: Tong Lifen , Lei Xiting , Yang Guangyao , Liu Xiaobo
Published: August 2019

A novel poly(arylene ether nitrile) terminated with hydroxyl groups (PEN–OH) was synthesized successfully. The effects of heat-treatment temperature on the thermal properties, mechanical properties, and dielectric properties of the PEN–OH films were studied in detail. Due to the cross-linking reaction occurring, at high temperature, among the nitrile groups on the side of the PEN–OH main chain to form a structurally stable triazine ring, the structure of materials changes from a linear structure to a bulk structure. Thus, the thermal properties and mechanical properties were improved. In addition, the occurrence of cross-linking reactions can reduce the polar groups in the material, leading to the decrease of dielectric constant. As the heat-treatment temperature increased, the glass-transition temperature increased from 180.6 °C to 203.6 °C, and the dielectric constant decreased from 3.4 to 2.8 at 1 MHz. Proper temperature heat-treatment could improve the tensile strength, as well as the elongation, at the break of the PEN–OH films. Moreover, because of the excellent adhesive property of PEN–OH to copper foil, a double-layer flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL) without any adhesives based on PEN–OH was prepared by a simple hot-press method, which possessed high peel strength with 1.01 N/mm. Therefore, the PEN–OH has potential applications in the electronic field.
Time Coherent Full-Body Poses Estimated Using Only Five Inertial Sensors: Deep versus Shallow Learning
Authors: Wouda Frank J. , Giuberti Matteo , Rudigkeit Nina , van Beijnum Bert-Jan F. , Poel Mannes , Veltink Peter H.
Published: August 2019

Full-body motion capture typically requires sensors/markers to be placed on each rigid body segment, which results in long setup times and is obtrusive. The number of sensors/markers can be reduced using deep learning or offline methods. However, this requires large training datasets and/or sufficient computational resources. Therefore, we investigate the following research question: “What is the performance of a shallow approach, compared to a deep learning one, for estimating time coherent full-body poses using only five inertial sensors?”. We propose to incorporate past/future inertial sensor information into a stacked input vector, which is fed to a shallow neural network for estimating full-body poses. Shallow and deep learning approaches are compared using the same input vector configurations. Additionally, the inclusion of acceleration input is evaluated. The results show that a shallow learning approach can estimate full-body poses with a similar accuracy (~6 cm) to that of a deep learning approach (~7 cm). However, the jerk errors are smaller using the deep learning approach, which can be the effect of explicit recurrent modelling. Furthermore, it is shown that the delay using a shallow learning approach (72 ms) is smaller than that of a deep learning approach (117 ms).
Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) Development in Viet Nam: Results and Key Insights from UNIDO’s EIP Project (2014–2019)

Published: August 2019

Industrial parks have been promoted as cornerstone strategies for economic development in countries around the world, including Viet Nam. The transformation of conventional industrial zones (IZs) into eco-industrial parks (EIPs) presents an effective opportunity to attain inclusive and sustainable industrial development, as well as increasing the economic competitiveness and resilience of industrial parks. This paper presents and discusses the interventions, key results, and lessons learned from the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and UNIDO’s work on EIPs in Viet Nam as part of the Project “Implementation of eco-industrial park initiative for sustainable industrial zones in Viet Nam”. The Project was undertaken with the objective of developing policies and guidelines to facilitate the transformation of industrial zones into eco-industrial parks and implementing EIP principles in five existing industrial zones in the provinces of Da Nang (Hoa Khanh IZ), Can Tho (Tra Noc 1 and 2 IZs), and Ninh Binh (Khanh Phu IZ and Gian Khau IZ), which serve as pilots to support replication and upscaling across Viet Nam. The application of the Project’s policy, company, and park-level interventions demonstrated their value in contributing to the development and implementation of EIP practices in the country. Rather than stand-alone solutions, multi-disciplinary EIP concepts are most effective if applied as part of an integrated top-down approach (policy support as entry point for interventions) combined with a bottom-up approach (industrial park as entry point). The issuance of Decree 82/2018/ND-CP on the management of industrial parks and economic zones is a new policy outlining the requirements and process for transforming industrial zones into EIPs. The Decree is thereby an important driver for EIP development. Legal challenges with regards to EIPs still exist, including the lack of available and reliable data and the need for detailed standards and guidelines on reusing by-products, wastes, and wastewater. The final adoption of minimum EIP requirements in Viet Nam for social, economic, and environmental aspects is a key issue for scaling up implementation. The work undertaken as part of the Project will continue through the Global EIP Programme, in which Viet Nam is one of the participating countries.
Gallic Acid Triggers Iron-Dependent Cell Death with Apoptotic, Ferroptotic, and Necroptotic Features
Authors: Tang Ho Man , Cheung Peter Chi Keung
Published: August 2019

Gallic acid (GA) is a natural anti-cancer compound that can be found in many food sources, including edible mushrooms, fruits, and vegetables. Studies generally attribute the anti-cancer activity of GA to the induction of apoptosis. Here, we reported that GA activated iron-dependent cell death mechanisms with apoptotic, ferroptotic, and necroptotic features. Our time-lapse live-cell microscopy study demonstrated that GA could induce coexistence of multiple types of cell death pathways, including apoptosis characterized by mitochondrial cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation, ferroptosis characterized by lipid peroxidation, and necroptosis characterized by the loss of plasma membrane integrity. This GA-induced cell death could be completely suppressed by exposure to an iron chelator deferoxamine, indicating that it is an iron-dependent cell death process. Importantly, MLKL (mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein) inhibitor necrosulfonamide exerted a synergistic effect by increasing the sensitivity of cancer cells to GA. Taken together, our results provide new mechanistic insights, and also suggest new strategies to enhance the efficacy of this natural anti-cancer compound by identifying the agents that can promote or suppress the GA-induced cell death process.
Task-Irrelevant Features in Visual Working Memory Influence Covert Attention: Evidence from a Partial Report Task
Authors: Foerster Rebecca M. , Schneider Werner X.
Published: August 2019

Selecting a target based on a representation in visual working memory (VWM) affords biasing covert attention towards objects with memory-matching features. Recently, we showed that even task-irrelevant features of a VWM template bias attention. Specifically, when participants had to saccade to a cued shape, distractors sharing the cue’s search-irrelevant color captured the eyes. While a saccade always aims at one target location, multiple locations can be attended covertly. Here, we investigated whether covert attention is captured similarly as the eyes. In our partial report task, each trial started with a shape-defined search cue, followed by a fixation cross. Next, two colored shapes, each including a letter, appeared left and right from fixation, followed by masks. The letter inside that shape matching the preceding cue had to be reported. In Experiment 1, either target, distractor, both, or no object matched the cue’s irrelevant color. Target-letter reports were most frequent in target-match trials and least frequent in distractor-match trials. Irrelevant cue and target color never matched in Experiment 2. Still, participants reported the distractor more often to the target’s disadvantage, when cue and distractor color matched. Thus, irrelevant features of a VWM template can influence covert attention in an involuntarily object-based manner when searching for trial-wise varying targets.

Published: August 2019

In recent decades, a variety of morphodynamic model systems have been developed to improve our understanding of sediment transport and the resulting changes in riverbed topography. Despite progress in the description of physical processes, the degree of accuracy of morphodynamic model results remains difficult to assess and are also less than for hydrodynamics alone. In this paper, three different 2D morphodynamic systems have been applied to simulate a complex hydrodynamic and morphodynamic situation. These model systems were validated using data of sediment sorting and bed deformation conducted in a 180° channel bend under unsteady-flow conditions. The calculations obtained by each modeling system were compared with the available observed data. The simulated results showed that all applied morphodynamic models could precisely calculate the bed level changes and the areas of deposition and scour. However, the models are not efficient enough to predict the distribution of the mean grain size in the channel bend.

Published: August 2019

Understanding long-term trends in hydrological and climatic variables is of high significance for sustainable water resource management. This study focuses on the annual and seasonal trends in precipitation, temperature, potential evapotranspiration, and river discharge over the Kamo River basin from the hydrological years 1962 to 2017. Homogeneity was examined by Levene’s test. The Mann–Kendall and a modified Mann–Kendall test as well as Sen’s slope estimator were used to analyze significant trends (p < 0.05) in a time series with and without serial correlation and their magnitudes. The results indicate that potential evapotranspiration calculated by the Penman–Monteith equation was highly related to temperature, and significantly increased in the annual and summer series. Annual river discharge significantly decreased by 0.09 m3/s. No significant trend was found at the seasonal scale. Annual, autumn, and winter precipitation at Kumogahata station significantly increased, while no significant trend was found at Kyoto station. Precipitation was least affected by the modified Mann–Kendall test. Other variables were relatively highly autocorrelated. The modified Mann–Kendall test with a full autocorrelation structure improved the accuracy of trend analysis. Furthermore, this study provides information for decision makers to take proactive measures for sustainable water management.

Published: August 2019

La reutilización de materiales de construcción es importante porque disminuye la cantidad de residuos que se encuentran sin utilidad alguna o que se acumulan y queman en basurales a cielo abierto generando contaminación.

Con el propósito de buscar una solución para la fabricación de hormigones, fundamentados en el reciclado de escombros de construcción y demolición de obras, en particular a la reutilización de los bloques arcilla cocida (ladrillos), se tiene una alternativa que favorece a los procesos constructivos en el desarrollo urbano de las ciudades.

En la presente investigación se estudió el comportamiento del hormigón al sustituir distintos porcentajes de áridos gruesos, por material reciclado como los ladrillos de arcilla provenientes de escombros. Para esto se elaboraron mezclas con distintos porcentajes de material reciclado. En cada probeta ensayada se realizaron los ensayos de resistividad superficial y el ensayo de resistencia a la compresión del hormigón a los 28 días de curado húmedo.

Se realizó la comparación entre el hormigón sin material reciclado y los hormigones que contenían los porcentajes de ladrillos triturados como agregados gruesos. llegando a la conclusión que los ladrillos provenientes del reciclaje, solo se puede utilizar en porcentajes inferiores al 10% en la fabricación de hormigón, porque al incrementarse este material, se generan decrementos de resistencias a la compresión en el hormigón fabricado.

Published: August 2019

In the city of Calceta (Manabí, Ecuador) three poultry farms have been identified for the production of eggs, which do not perform any treatment of the excreta of the laying birds, which leads to the generation of gases and bad odors that affect the population. The present work analyzes the efficiency in the reduction of air pollution when treating poultry excreta with different doses of efficient microorganisms (EMs). The experiment was designed in a unifactorial way with four treatments, based on 5 Kg of poultry excreta. Volumetric doses were added in the following order: 0,5; 1,0; and 1,5 liters of EMs; while, 1 liter of water was added as control. The monitoring parameters were pH, humidity, ammonium and the number of colonies of Bacillus spp., Lactobacillus spp. and yeasts. The biostabilization process was evaluated with two measurements, the first at 10 days and the second at 20 days of application of the EMs. The results show that at 20 days the pH values ​​reached ranges between 8,3 and 7,6; a decrease in ammonium concentrations from 3,14 mg/L to 0,60 mg/L was achieved; in the case of humidity, there was a decrease of approximately 50%, which affected the decrease of the microbial population of yeasts, Bacillus spp., and Lactobacillus spp. in more than 90%. In conclusion, the efficient microorganisms allow the reduction of more than 70% of bad odors represented by ammonia, generated by the accumulation of poultry excreta.

air pollution and noise generation represent environmental risk factors for public health in Calceta. Due to the lack of information on air pollutants, the objective of this work was to estimate the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO), sedimentary particulate matter (SPM), sound pressure level (SPL) and aerobic bacteria in the urban area of ​​the Calceta. 18 data collection points were established covering an area of ​​6.9 km2; the concentration of CO was measured with a portable detector; the MPS collection was carried out during 30 days continuously by passive method; for the NPS measurements, the 15-second method (Leq-15s) was applied; Aerobiology was performed in Petri dishes with nutrient medium. The concentration of CO in a sector of the urban area of ​​Calceta has an arithmetic mean of 5804,26 μg/m3 and according to the EPA this level is capable of affecting the population in general. The levels of SPM and SPL reflect the breach of the limits established in the national regulations for both pollutants. Bacterial concentrations were lower than 500 CFU/m3. The present study is a baseline in air quality that will allow in perspective the implementation of measures for the benefit of public health.

Published: August 2019

La planificación de los sistemas de distribución exige conocer la demanda de la carga por atender en sus dimensiones geográficas y temporales. La determinación de la demanda total de una zona no es suficiente para proyectar la expansión de una red de distribución, por esa razón, se requiere conocer la ubicación geográfica dentro del área, con las magnitudes correspondientes y a lo largo del tiempo para el que se desarrolla el estudio.

De ahí que la proyección de la demanda por pequeñas áreas, objetivo del presente trabajo, sea de capital importancia para el sistema de distribución. En este documento se presenta una propuesta metodológica innovadora para realizar la proyección de demanda geográficamente distribuida, con base en la aplicación específica a la zona con la mayor densidad de carga eléctrica de la ciudad de Quito, conocida también como el Centro Norte de la ciudad.

Tendo como ponto de partida o estudo realizado por Albergaria e Granato (2006), a respeito da relação existente entre as imagens literárias de Mia Couto e a estética da pintura expressionista alemã, este trabalho busca aferir como essas mesmas imagens foram vertidas para a língua francesa, recorrendo à analítica proposta por Antoine Berman (2007) em A tradução e a Letra ou o Albergue do Longínquo. Com isso, pudemos destacar a presença de algumas das deformações da letra por ele elencadas, representativas da normalização do diverso operada pela tradutora.Palavras-chave: tradução literária; Mia Couto; Antoine Berman; deformação da letra; expressionismo alemão.RÉSUMÉ: En nous basant sur l’étude réalisé par Albergaria e Granato (2006), sur le rapport qui existe entre les images littéraires de Mia Couto et l’esthétique de la peinture expressionniste allemande, ce travail a l’objectif d’étudier comment ces mêmes images ont été traduites vers la langue française.

A tradução de expressões idiomáticas da série Friends: legendas profissionais versus legendas amadoras
Authors: Silva Andressa Christine Oliveira da
Published: August 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar a tradução, do inglês para o português, de cinco expressões idiomáticas que aparecem em falas de personagens da sitcom Friends em legendas feitas por profissionais com legendas feitas por amadores. Os trabalhos de Noronha (2010), Oliveira (2009), Teixeira (2009) e Mccarthy & O’Dell (2002) constituem o referencial teórico deste artigo. Os resultados mostraram que o tradutor, seja o profissional ou o amador, deve levar em conta o contexto e ter tanto conhecimentos linguísticos como conhecimentos culturais para traduzir expressões idiomáticas.Palavras-chave: legendagem profissional; legendagem amadora; tradução; expressões idiomáticas; sitcom Friends

ABSTRACT: The aim of this article was to compare the translation (English-Portuguese) of five idioms, which appear in the lines of characters of the sitcom Friends, in subtitles created by professional translators and subtitles created by amateur translators. The works of Noronha (2010), Oliveira (2009), Teixeira (2009) and Mccarthy & O'Dell (2002) constitute the theoretical reference of this article. The results showed that the translator, whether professional or amateur, must take into account the discursive context and have both linguistic and cultural knowledges to translate idiomatic expressions.

Inventare una pelle per tutto: traduzione italiana di un estratto de Cujo, di Nuno Ramos
Authors: Caputo Irma
Published: August 2019

O texto aqui apresentado é a tradução de um trecho do livro de Nuno Ramos Cujo (1993, p. 19-37) para o italiano, que nasce como acompanhamento de uma pesquisa de doutorado na área de tradução do livro Ó (2008) do mesmo autor. A pesquisa, além de uma análise sobre a visão de linguagem emergente da obra de Nuno Ramos e sua interseção com as práticas das artes-plásticas, parte, para a tradução, de uma análise dos elementos formais recorrentes da prosa poética do autor. Portanto na tradução do seguinte texto foram levados em conta: aspectos da prosa poética como reiteração de células sonoras, tais que rimas, assonâncias, consonâncias e aliterações, especialmente as com afinidades semânticas. Tentou-se reproduzir no estilo de escrita uma das técnicas que autor parece mutuar das artes plásticas, a justaposição, que, em entrevista inédita (abril 2017), ele define com “limites borrados”.
Raízes classicas na Construção da tópica da "Terra Pátria" em Cláudio Manuel da Costa
Authors: Versiani Carlos
Published: August 2019

Discutimos aqui a construção da tópica da Terra Pátria, em Cláudio Manuel, tendo como base as Obras, publicadas em 1768. Trazemos elementos para abordar a recorrência, na poesia do poeta árcade, do paradoxo do peregrino em sua própria terra, a partir da contradição entre civilidade e rusticidade, entre a razão arcádica e o amor pela terra natal. Buscamos também identificar, em sua poesia, os influxos da tradição clássica, desde Ovídio e Virgílio, para assim melhor entender o tratamento poético dado por Cláudio Manuel à sua terra, na reconstrução do ideal arcádico.
Tradução de variedades linguísticas: uma análise das obras Manual Prático do Ódio e Manuel Pratique de la Haine
Authors: Campos de Resende Letícia
Published: August 2019

O presente trabalho objetiva apresentar uma análise comparada de diálogos do romance Manual Prático do Ódio (2003), de Ferréz, e de sua tradução para o francês, intitulada Manuel Pratique de la Haine (2009). A impossibilidade de fazer corresponder diferentes variedades linguísticas obrigam o(a) tradutor(a) a optar por tendências de estrangeirização ou domesticação (VENUTI, 2008). Analisando os procedimentos da tradução (BARBOSA, 1990) adotados na versão francesa, identificamos uma predominância da postura domesticadora.

Retrospectiva do mito: o Minotauro de ontem e de hoje
Authors: Berchez Amanda Naves
Published: August 2019

O trabalho visa a contribuir com uma reflexão pontual sobre as reescritas do mito do Minotauro em suas variantes antigas, por meio de autores como Plutarco e Apolodoro, e em autores modernos, como Jorge Luis Borges e Verônica Stigger. Além disso, houve a pretensão de se refletir como antigos e modernos trabalham com os fenômenos da transmissibilidade e da citação, fazendo com que a representação de Minotauro se fizesse presente ao advento da Contemporaneidade.

Estratégias de Renovação Pedagógica: a atuação da Comissão de Estudo do Livro e do Material Didático do CPOE/RS na escolha dos livros didáticos de matemática nos anos 1960
Authors: Rios Diogo Franco , Fischer Maria Cecília Bueno
Published: August 2019

O texto analisa duas estratégias utilizadas pela Comissão de Estudo do Livro e do Material Didático do Centro de Pesquisas e Orientações Educacionais do Rio Grande do Sul (CPOE/RS), nos anos 1960, instruindo professores primários quanto à escolha do livro didático de Matemática. São três artigos publicados na Revista do Ensino/RS, que apresentam diretrizes estabelecidas pela Comissão para a escolha dos livros, e uma lista de livros de matemática recomendados, publicada no Boletim do CPOE/RS. Entre as conclusões, destaca-se que tais estratégias reforçam a marca de uma gestão centralizadora realizada pelo Centro, tentando definir as escolhas dos livros didáticos pelos docentes e, assim, adequar o ensino primário gaúcho a certas propostas renovadoras que circulavam à época.

Animais peçonhentos do estado do Piauí: epidemiologia dos acidentes e lista de espécies de importância médica
Authors: Benício Ronildo Alves , Carvalho Leonardo Sousa , Fonseca Mariluce Gonçalves
Published: August 2019

Cases of poisoning have increased considerably in Brazil, however for state of Piauí only two studies were carried out so far. Here, we investigated, through the notification forms, the epidemiological characteristics of cases of poisoning that occurred during 11 years in a macro-region of Picos, state of Piauí, Northeastern Brazil. Furthermore, we also check whether the species recorded in the notification forms correspond to the species that occur in the region. We recorded 1.249 cases of envenomations, being 41% caused by scorpions, 35% caused by snakes and 24% caused by spiders. Most cases (arachnids = 99%, scorpions = 93%, snakes = 52%) there was no identification of species causing the accident. Most of the victims of the accidents (66%) were male individuals between 18 and 24 years from rural areas, stung during field activities in the rainy season (January-March). The most common injury sites were the lower limbs (37%) and the majority (53%) of the accidents was the mild type. This is the first study that reports the epidemiological profile of a series of envenomations (including arachnids and snakes) during 11 years of records in the state of Piauí. Furthermore, we also present the first list of species of arachnids and snakes of medical importance to the state. Our results demonstrate that there was a high incidence of accidents by venomous animals in the Center-South region of the state, most of the records was not notified in SINAN, most records does not present the identification of the species responsible for the accident, and there are records whose species was incorrectly identified.
Estudo do Comportamento Reprodutivo do Gato-palheiro, Leopardus colocola (Molina, 1782) (Carnivora: Felidae) em Ambiente Cativo
Authors: Monticelli Cauê , Nogali Oriel
Published: August 2019

Muitas espécies são difíceis de serem estudadas em ambiente natural devido aos hábitos reservados que impedem estudos ecológicos mais aprofundados, como por exemplo, investigações sobre a ecologia e comportamento reprodutivo. Este estudo objetivou avaliar os comportamentos reprodutivos do gato-palheiro (Leopardus colocola) mantido em zoológico, de forma a contribuir com informações sobre a espécie. Como resultados foram registrados e avaliados 598 comportamentos divididos entre individuais, sociais e reprodutivos. O ambiente cativo propiciou a oportunidade de gerar informações comportamentais sobre a espécie com foco no manejo e nos programas de reprodução ex situ.
