Bento Aranha e a imprensa de combate no Norte do Brasil (1866-1911)
Authors: Pinheiro Luís Balkar Sá Peixoto
Published: March 2023

O artigo aborda a trajetória singular de Bento de Figueiredo Tenreiro Aranha, um dos principais publicistas a atuar na imprensa e no cenário político do Extremo Norte do país durante o Segundo Reinado e as décadas iniciais da República. Publicando tanto no Pará quanto no Amazonas, foi dos mais dinâmicos jornalistas ali radicados, idealizando e dirigindo diversos periódicos, além de colaborar em outros jornais como verdadeiro polinizador de ideias, assinando centenas de artigos em defesa das grandes causas sociais e em favor dos subalternos. Baseado em meticuloso inventário de seus escritos na imprensa, obras literárias e falas proferidas na Assembleia Provincial do Amazonas, a análise de seus discursos avança em associação com uma abordagem biográfica revitalizada na análise histórica, desvelando um intelectual e político à frente de seu tempo. Pautou-se pela inclusão da escravidão (dissimulada) do índio no debate abolicionista por ele encampado desde 1870. Republicano de primeira hora, viu o alvorecer da República como a realização de um sonho logo convertido em pesadelo, mas nunca abandonou seus princípios e suas utopias, mantendo-se em combate contra o que diagnosticou como o “decaimento moral” do regime. Defensor de uma república revolucionária aos moldes da que surgiu com a francesa em 1789, sua crítica radical ao projeto republicano que se fez vencedor no 15 de Novembro e aos próceres da República logo o transformou em expressão maior do jacobinismo na Amazônia. Perseguido e excluído pelo regime pelo qual tanto lutou, Bento Aranha foi injustamente silenciado e esquecido, sendo hoje praticamente desconhecido pelo conjunto da historiografia brasileira, razão pela qual urge revisitar suas ideias e posições.
Ler é preciso: um estudo sobre uma comunidade de viajantes-leitores no século XIX: Mawe, Eschwege, Wied-Neuvied, Spix e Martius e Saint-Hilaire
Authors: Moscato Daniela Casoni , DeNipoti Cláudio
Published: March 2023

Este artigo busca investigar as sociabilidades científicas da leitura dos naturalistas europeus que viajaram pelo Brasil no começo do século XIX e as interações desses viajantes entre si e com naturalistas luso-brasileiros que os antecederam na descrição da natureza brasileira no século XVIII. Para tanto, foram utilizados os relatos de viagem de John Mawe, Wilhelm Ludwig von Eschwege, Maximilian de Wied-Neuwied, Auguste François César de Saint-Hilaire, Johann Baptiste von Spix e Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius, que estiveram no Brasil a partir de 1807 e publicaram seus relatos nos países de origem durante as décadas seguintes. Buscou-se verificar nesses relatos as alusões, referências e notas bibliográficas visando possíveis leituras comuns, particularmente aquelas dos naturalistas luso-brasileiros que descreveram partes do Brasil a serviço da Coroa portuguesa entre 1770 e 1800. Este estudo permitiu perceber como se gestou uma comunidade de leitores científicos que compartilhavam leituras, referências e mesmo bibliotecas, faziam citações mútuas e copiavam abertamente as descrições uns dos outros – e de seus antecessores luso brasileiros do final do século XVIII –, de acordo com seus próprios interesses editoriais ou necessidades autorais, construindo todo um conjunto canônico de descrições do Brasil que ainda permeia a historiografia sobre o período.
Questões resolvidas à bala: o que dois crimes são capazes de revelarsobre os mundos do trabalho
Authors: Castro Rute Andrade
Published: March 2023

Vislumbrando as similaridades entre dois crimes que aconteceram na província da Bahia, Brasil, no ano de 1889, este artigo tem por objetivo, através dos seus pontos de inflexão, trazer à tona nuances dos mundos do trabalho complexos e multiétnicos de um Brasil recém-expurgado da escravidão. Isso será feito focando-se no protagonismo dos trabalhadores na busca por aquilo que julgavam ser seu direito, pautados por uma espécie de senso de justiça à parte da instituição judiciária em si. Assim, busca-se contribuir para uma historiografia interessada em desvelar o cotidiano dos trabalhadores e suas relações com os capitalistas que, no caso deste texto, eram representados pelos patrões britânicos. Ficou evidenciado que alguns dos estrangeiros que se aventuraram no Brasil se depararam com trabalhadores que buscavam viver sua liberdade jurídica e nem sempre estavam dispostos a ignorar certos desmandos patronais. Os documentos principais utilizados para tal discussão são os processos gerados a partir dos respectivos crimes, auxiliados por um amplo escopo documental que dá base ao debate, como correspondências enviadas a secretarias do governo da província da Bahia e ao Foreign & Commonwealth Office, no Reino Unido.
Entre as brumas da memória: a história quase esquecida dos organismos coordenadores da reforma administrativa em Portugal (1967-1974)
Authors: Azevedo Ana Carina
Published: March 2023

Este artigo reconstitui a orgânica dos organismos coordenadores da reforma administrativa criados pelo Estado Novo português entre 1967 e 1974. Na esteira da preocupação evidenciada internacionalmente com o desenvolvimento de administrações públicas eficientes e direcionadas para o fomento económico, Portugal atribui, no final da década de 1960, uma maior importância à necessidade de uma reforma administrativa. Como tal, o regime criou condições para o desenvolvimento de um órgão técnico central responsável pela mesma, organismo que vinha sendo solicitado há 15 anos. Inicialmente designado Secretariado da Reforma Administrativa, este órgão seria sucedido por dois outros num espaço de sete anos, correspondendo as mudanças de designação a alterações na sua estrutura e âmbito de ação. Apesar destes organismos evidenciarem, talvez pela primeira vez, uma decisão política no sentido da reforma administrativa, a sua orgânica parecia irremediavelmente esquecida devido ao desaparecimento dos seus espólios documentais. O artigo baseia-se numa ampla pesquisa documental que cruza fontes oriundas de arquivos centrais com debates parlamentares, legislação, publicações periódicas, discursos e outras obras coevas, bem como com programas televisivos da época. Este cruzamento permitiu reconstituir a estrutura destes organismos, evidenciando os esforços do regime em prol da melhoria da eficiência da Administração Pública, num quadro de desafios crescentes à sua própria manutenção.

Published: March 2023

In this paper, studying synthesis and characterization of ferrospinel nickel ferrite. Nickel ferrite is prepared by using the sol-gel method, with a ratio of 2:1 of iron nitrate to nickel nitrate. First the starting material is dissolved in 100 ml of ethylene glycol solution to get the gel and then the gel was dried at 160°C then calcined at 600°C to obtain fine powder, second the nickel ferrite powder is pressed and sintered at 1200°C. To characterize nickel ferrite are used different techniques, such as: XRD is shown high purity, the purity of the nickel ferrite is known and the extent to which the material is affected by the temperatures of calcination and sintering. FT-IR that is shown absorption band between the elements of the components of nickel ferrite appears. The shape of the resulting powder is known through the SEM, the SEM images showed the spherical shape of the nickel ferrite powder, found the particular size of powder at 600°C ranges between405-264 nm and for sample after sintering at 1200°C ranges between589-353 nm, and our Physical characterization test down.

Published: March 2023

Physicochemical parameters of coastal water in the southwestern area of Sri Lanka were studied from January to November 2016. Surface water samples from 15 selected locations were analysed according to standard methods. The ranges of the values recorded were; water temperature (WT) 26.5-33.9 ºC, pH 7.1-8.4, dissolved oxygen (DO) 4.4-7.4 mg L-1, salinity 14-38 ppt, electrical conductivity (EC) 27.1-53.8 mS cm-1, total suspended solids (TSS) 50.2-403.4 mg L-1, turbidity 1.2-64.9 NTU, nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N) 0.00-0.57mg L-1, nitrite nitrogen (NO2--N) 0.00-0.035mg L-1, ammoniacal nitrogen (NH4+-N) 0.00-1.72mg L-1, dissolved inorganic phosphorous (DIP) 0.00-0.65 mg L-1, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) 0.1-11.6 mg L-1 and chemical oxygen demand (COD) 40-768 mg L-1. Results of Two-way ANOVA showed that there was a seasonal variability in parameters such as water temperature (p<0.001), dissolved oxygen (p<0.001), BOD (p<0.001), COD (p<0.001), nitrite nitrogen (p<0.001), nitrate nitrogen (p<0.001), dissolved inorganic phosphorous (p<0.001), turbidity (p<0.001), TSS (p<0.001) and Chlorophyll a (p<0.001). Spatial variation was identified in parameters, pH (p<0.001), turbidity (p<0.001), dissolved oxygen (p=0.004) and nitrite nitrogen (p<0.001) whereas the interaction between time and location was significant in pH (p=0.005) and turbidity (p=0.007). However, EC, salinity and ammoniacal nitrogen were not significant by either of the factors of consideration. In conclusion, the physicochemical characteristics of water are highly variable over time and location due to both natural and human factors. Water quality near fish processing areas such as fishery harbours and fish markets relatively deteriorated in terms of pH, DO, turbidity and nitrite nitrogen compared to recreational beaches. It is recommended to regulate any discharges of sewage and industrial wastewater directly into the sea. A long-term coastal water quality monitoring programme is vitally important to comprehensively characterise the coastal segments for a long-term strategic plan for sustainable development.
Potential solutions to environmental conflict on exploitation of fish stocks in palk strait among fishermen of India and Sri Lanka
Authors: Sivaramanan S.
Published: March 2023

Illegal catching of fish stocks beyond the borders of India and Sri Lanka by violating the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) by the fishing communities of both countries has become a major international direct environmental conflict between both nations. Overexploitation of natural resources is a keystone environmental problem. It has been reported that Indian fishermen are stealing fish catch worth many millions of US dollars annually from Sri Lankan coastal waters. The bilateral agreements of 1974 and 1976 are frequently violated. The heavy use of trawlers that are not permitted to fish on coastal seas and the use of internationally banned bottom sea nets by Indian poachers are major threats to the coastal resources of north Sri Lanka. Trawlers catch fish flocks unselectively; the catch may include several non-targeted species and juvenile stages of fish, which is leading to species extinction. Arresting and imprisoning of fishermen by coastal guards of both countries (and collecting penalties) continue, and this is an unsustainable way of handling the issue. Sri Lanka has banned bottom trawling since the 6th of July 2017, which is a sustainable solution and beseeched possible greener solutions such as creating awareness, sensitizing fishermen, and promoting the use of GPS navigation, and also provoked conventional solutions such as monitoring or patrolling, which often lead to imprisonment and penalties for trespassing and seizing of fishing trawlers. Restorative solutions such as coral restoration, mangrove restoration, implantation of artificial reefs, and establishing mutually beneficial ‘no catch zone’ along the IMBL and marine reserves (or marine protected areas) by both nations may facilitate preventing the deterioration of fish stocks and ensuring their revival in the region. Above all, if this illegal catching continues, the availability of fish stocks in the Palk Strait region in the next ten years will be in question.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: The presence of blood in the urine should be promptly investigated to rule out urological malignancies, bladder cancer being the most frequent. Given its frequency among general population and the lack of unlimited health resources in an era of cost-effectiveness, it is important to prioritize patients with higher risk of malignancy.

Objectives: To identify predictive factors of bladder cancer among patients presenting with hematuria.Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 296 cases referred to our department for hematuria. We evaluated different demographic, clinical and ultrasound features to uncover possible associations with diagnosis of bladder cancer in those patients, to estimate the individual risk of being diagnosed with bladder cancer during the investigation of hematuria.
Results: A total of 296 patients were studied for hematuria between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019, 23.6% of those having ultimately bladder cancer confirmed after transurethral resection. Older age, male gender (OR 2.727, p = 0.069), a history of smoking (OR 3.84, p < 0.05), recurrent hematuria (OR 3.396, p < 0.05) and positive ultrasound exam for bladder cancer (OR 30.423, p < 0.05) were identified as predictors of bladder cancer in patients with hematuria.
Conclusions: This study suggests that it is possible to reliably estimate the risk of bladder cancer in patients with hematuria, using clinical and imaging data to help defining who should be investigated first and in whom the investigation could be postponed.

New localities of Cirsium candelabrum (Asteraceae) in Croatia
Authors: Borovečki-Voska Ljiljana , Randić Marko , Šegota Vedran , Alegro Antun
Published: March 2023

Cirsium candelabrum is a Balkan endemic species, non-indigenous to Croatia. In the last 13 years its spread was observed only in Central Dalmatia. From 2015 to 2021 we have been recording its invasive spreading across the Kvarner region and its arrival to the southern edge of Gorski Kotar. The plants appear in diverse numbers in two different habitat types. In the sub-Mediterranean zone, the species inhabits ruderal habitats arising from the degradation of the natural vegetation by the construction works for traffic and communal infrastructure and the erection of industrial zones and shopping centres, accompanied by numerous invasive alien species. In the upper (montane and subalpine) zone of Mali and Veliki Platak, C. candelabrum dominates in stands on gravely road edges, forest ways, on incisions with glacial till, and especially luxuriant and dense populations form on the dug-up soil under the ski lift and along the ski run on Radeševo. Here, C. candelabrum is accompanied by native species characteristic for the forest edges and clearings and sometimes for ruderal, chasmophytyc or scree habitats.
Optimal controller synthesis for timed systems
Authors: Busatto-Gaston Damien , Monmege Benjamin , Reynier Pierre-Alain
Published: March 2023

Weighted timed games are zero-sum games played by two players on a timed
automaton equipped with weights, where one player wants to minimise the
cumulative weight while reaching a target. Used in a reactive synthesis
perspective, this quantitative extension of timed games allows one to measure
the quality of controllers in real-time systems. Weighted timed games are
notoriously difficult and quickly undecidable, even when restricted to
non-negative weights. For non-negative weights, the largest class that can be
analysed has been introduced by Bouyer, Jaziri and Markey in 2015. Though the
value problem is undecidable, the authors show how to approximate the value by
considering regions with a refined granularity. In this work, we extend this
class to incorporate negative weights, allowing one to model energy for
instance, and prove that the value can still be approximated, with the same
complexity. A small restriction also allows us to obtain a class of decidable
weighted timed games with negative weights and an arbitrary number of clocks.
In addition, we show that a symbolic algorithm, relying on the paradigm of
value iteration, can be used as an approximation/computation schema over these
classes. We also consider the special case of untimed weighted games, where the
same fragments are solvable in polynomial time: this contrasts with the
pseudo-polynomial complexity, known so far, for weighted games without
restrictions.
No Relationship Between Blood Groups and Psoriatic arthritis
Authors: KARAHAN Samet , ÖZYURT Kemal
Published: March 2023

Background: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory musculoskeletal disease. The exact causes of PsA have not been identified. ABO and Rh blood groups continue to be an area of interest for various diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether there is any difference in the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups in PsA.

Methods: 233 PsA patients (PsA group) consecutively referred to the adult rheumatology outpatient clinics of a tertiary care hospital of central Anatolia between January 2019 and June 2020 were enrolled. The blood groups of the PsA group were compared with the blood groups of 6280 individuals who tested before elective operations at the same hospital between 1 January 2019 and 31 June 2020 (Control Group). Fourteen of the control group were excluded due to the presence of psoriasis/PsA in their medical records. In addition, the blood groups of 38,416 people who voluntarily donated blood to the Turkish Red Crescent XXXX Blood Center between January 1, 2019 and July 1, 2020 (donor group) were compared with the blood groups of the control group.

Results: There was no significant difference between the PsA patients and the control group in any blood group, both in women, men and also cumulatively.

Conclusion: The result of the study shows there is no significant difference in the blood groups between patients with PsA and the control group.
INVESTIGATION OF THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF MACROPHAGE MIGRATION INHIBITOR FACTOR (MIF) GENE -173G/C POLYMOPHISM IN ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Authors: TANRIVERDİ Rojda
Published: March 2023

Aim: Atherosclerosis is defined as an inflammatory disease that results in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques caused by the deposition of cholesterol in the arterial intima. As a result of damage to the intima layer of the vessel, foam cell formation following cholesterol accumulation and plaque development due to smooth muscle cell increase are observed. In different stages of atherosclerosis, migration of leukocytes to the vessel wall is provided by functional type chemokines; It was aimed to investigate the possible role of MIF -173G/C polymorphism in atherosclerosis disease depending on this function, since it has the same functional properties as chemokines.

Material and Method: Thirty patients with 70% occlusion detected by angiography and 30 healthy individuals were included in the study. DNA isolation was performed from blood samples taken from individuals in EDTA tubes. Analysis of MIF -173G/C polymorphism was performed on Real Time PCR (LC480, Roche). Statistical analyzes were performed using the STATISTICA version 13.5.0.17 (TIBCO Software Inc. (2017)) program.

Results: In the MIF -173G/C polymorphism, the frequency of GG, GC and CC genotypes in the patient group was 55.26%, 41.18% and 66.66%, and 44.74%, 58.82% and 33.33% in the control group, respectively. Compared with the GG genotype, it was determined that those with the GC genotype had a 0.567-fold (p=0.3367) risk of developing the disease, and those with the CC genotype had a 1.6190-fold (p= 0.7038) risk of developing the disease.

Conclusion: Further studies can be carried out by increasing the number of samples.

Authors: ALTINER Saygın , CEBECİ Enes , SUCU Bedri Burak , ÇÖL Mert , ERGÜDER Ender , ÜNAL Yılmaz , TUNCAL Salih , PEKCİCİ Mevlüt Recep
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The De Ritis ratio (Aspartat transaminase/alanine transaminase) is a critical prognostic factor for some kinds of malignant tumors. Nevertheless, the De Ritis ratio’s prognostic value in preoperative colon cancer staging is unclear. The purpose of this research was to determine the De Ritis ratio in colon cancer and to determine its prognostic significance for colon cancer.

Materials and Methods: The clinicopathological data of 271 individuals with malign colon cancer were analyzed retrospectively, from January 2010 to January 2018 at a single center. The relationship between the De Ritis coefficient and clinicopathological findings in patients were evaluated before treatment. To compare groups, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal Wallis test were performed.

Results: The results indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between the groups, in terms of pre-treatment De Ritis ratio assessment as a staging, localization, tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, age and overall survival. However, differences in T staging between groups of male participants were shown to be statistically significant.

Conclusions: The De Ritis ratio evaluated before to treatment was not an independent variable a prognostic factor in the diagnosis and staging of colon cancer. However, future study may demonstrate the significance of the De Ritis ratio with more participants.

Authors: Vidosavljević Milena M.
Published: March 2023

Multimodality in teaching is gaining more attention in contemporary research and sci- entific literature. It is a special communication that relies on modes, such as pictures, graphs, audio, videos, maps, etc. which by combination create certain meanings in order for the modes to be adequately combined, multimodal literacy is necessary. The aforementioned literacy in teaching helps students to create multimodal texts and tasks in a digital environment. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine how first and second-year students of Hispanic Studies at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade manage in a digital environment working on a multimodal task, as well as how they use digital tools and the Spanish language. Student pres- entations were exhibited and recorded via the Zoom platform, and data were collected through the observations of the researcher. Also, the research method used for research purposes is the analysis of authentic teaching materials. First-year students presented a topic about health in Spanish via the Moodle platform, while second-year students presented and created their own virtual tour in Spanish using the Padlet platform. For the analysis of multimodal activities, the criterion related to the use of modes and the creation of multimodal texts was used. The results of the analysis showed that most students were successful in creating multimodal activities, that they used mods in a creative way and that in this case it was possible to implement this type of activity because the students of this faculty and the study program are adapted to fre- quent application of new technologies on assignments using the Spanish language.

The paper explores the relationship between technology and imagination in the poetics of Don DeLillo and Michelangelo Antonioni, as reflected in DeLillo’s Libra (1988), Underworld (1997), Falling Man (2007) and Antonioni’s Blow-Up (1966). The plot of Antonioni’s cult film, loosely based on Cortázar’s short story „Las babas del diablo,” is well-кnown: the protagonist, a professional fashion photographer, believes he has unwittingly captured a murder with his camera. The discovery is made in the scene in which he frantically maкes a series of blow-ups in the hope of finding clues to the mystery thus reclaiming the past. His belief in the power of photography borders on fantastic, and the paper sets out to revisit this phenomenon in the con- text of the worкs of Don DeLillo, who has acкnowledged his indebtedness to the European cin- ema, Antonioni included. In DeLillo’s novels characters repeatedly try to find the truth which escapes them in their everyday experience through the power of technology, principally the camera, which, as Walter Benjamin noted, has the paradoxical (and sublime) capacity to repre- sent the past as if it were „Here and Now”. Indeed, the photograph as „memento mori” (Sontag) or a „micro version of death” (Barthes) is a little more than a metaphor in both Antonioni and DeLillo’s murder mysteries, which abound in dead bodies, or bodies soon to be dead, captured in still photographs or sequences of images, enlarged and super-slowed, from the horrifying sight of Кennedy’s exploding head recorded by Abraham Zapruder to the „horrific beauty” of the „Falling Мan” shot by Richard Drew. Curiously enough, both Antonioni’s and DeLillo’s characters seem to call into question the nature of still and moving images, as the specters from these snapshots and videos haunt them, teetering between the real and the imaginary.
GORGONIJA

Gregory of Nazianzus is considered to be one of the most important Christian authors of the late antiquity, both in terms of his role in developing Christian doctrine as well as lan- guage and literary style. In this paper I analyze one segment of his Oration 8, an encomium to his deceased sister Gorgonia, for which I find that is mistakenly translated and interpreted in the majority of relevant publications. This traditionally wrong interpretation led to confu- sion regarding the understanding of certain theological positions of the author (his attitudes towards the meaning of the sacrament of Eucharist, so that medieval beliefs are often ascribed to him), as well as his peculiar theological-philosophical poetics as a whole, where, I believe, such an interpretation cannot fit in.
PREFIKS „META“ U TEORIJAMA UMETNOSTI

Since the 1950s, we have seen a steady increase in the usage of the prefix meta (gr. mετά - change of place, order, state, nature) in literary and theories of visual art. This paper revisits the terms containing this prefix in the theories of arts: metatext, metafiction, metapicture, metamedia, and metafilm. The paper also seeks to isolate the basic premises of these theo- ries in order to more closely determine the prefix meta in the field of visual arts. The point of departure of this examination is Gerard Genet’s definition of metatext, since it is most widely applied and, to a greater or lesser extent, included in the definitions of related terms. All these terms are generally used to denote those works where some kind of change of state or place has occurred, works that take a critical attitude towards other works, or which bear a distinct self-awareness or self-reference. The paper takes into account referential theorists and exam- ples of artwork that can be considered exemplary of the definitions. The examination of these terms shows that, despite their different interpretations, they always serve to denote the works characterized by the creation of another level of representation, which does not have to be included in the work itself, but can be the reality itself, thus consciously shifting the boundary between the artwork and reality.

Since 2012, the author has been collecting his body weight and finger-piercing glucose values each day. In addition, he accumulates medical conditions data including blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and blood lipids along with lifestyle details of diet, exercise, sleep, stress, water intake and daily routine details. Based on these collected big data, he further organized them into two main groups. The first group is medical conditions (MC) with 4 categories: weight, glucose, BP, and lipids. The second group is lifestyle details (LD) with 6 categories: food, exercise, water intake, sleep, stress, and daily routines. He collects his daily data and then calculates a unique combined score for each of these 2 groups of MC and LD and their 10 categories. His calculated risk probability percentage of developing complicated diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancers, are based on this above-described metabolism model. This metabolism index model (MI) includes the root causes of 6 lifestyle details and 4 disease symptoms including rudimentary chronic diseases: obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.

Since 1995, photo-identification techniques have been used to study the marine tucuxis (Sotalia fluviatilis) found in Guanabara Bay (22°50’S, 43°10’W), southeastern Brazil. The bay is surrounded by a metropolitan complex and is the most degraded area of this species’ distribution. From May 1995 to June 2003, 47 photo-identification boat surveys were conducted in the bay. Sixty-nine individuals were identified and catalogued. The results indicate that individual tucuxis have high site fidelity in Guanabara Bay. On average, dolphins were seen for 4.5 consecutive years, with a range of 1 to 8 years. Additionally, calves have remained in the area beyond sexual maturity. Guanabara Bay provides food and breeding grounds for this dolphin population, despite its high degree of degradation. The fact that such a small dolphin population, composed of resident individuals, depends on such a degraded area may pose serious problems for its conservation.
