Authors: Cuervo Cuesta María Teresa , Rincón Castillo Adriana , Quijano Martínez María Cristina
Published: June 2015

El trauma craneoencefálico [TCE] es la causa más frecuente de daño cerebral, cuyas secuelas a nivel cognitivo conllevan a alteraciones en la atención. El estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar los efectos de un programa de intervención en la atención en pacientes con TCE Moderado. El programa se aplicó a 3 hombres con escolaridad promedio de 9 años, con una media de 31,6 años de edad y un Glasgow entre 9-12 puntos; sin antecedentes neurológicos o psiquiátricos. Se incluyeron paciente con una media de 100 en la Evaluación Neuropsicológica Breve en Español [Neuropsi]; que tenían fallas en tareas de atención, memoria y funciones motoras. Para la evaluación pre y post de la atención, se aplicó el test de clasificación de tarjetas del Wisconsin [WCST], el Trail Making Test A y B [TMTA-TMTB], Stroop Test [STROOP], y el Test de Cancelación de Letras [Letter CancelationTest]. Fue un estudio cuasi - experimental con un diseño Pre y Post para un sólo grupo; el efecto de la intervención fue evaluado por la diferencia entre las medidas Pre y Post. Se encontraron cambios estadísticamente significativos en el WCST en un paciente. Sin embargo, cualitativamente todos los pacientes mejoraron los tiempos de reacción e implementaron herramientas cognitivas como la planificación, la categorización y la clasificación.

Variedad y apariencia de los alimentos modifican la conducta alimentaria
Authors: Martínez Alma Gabriela , López-Espinoza Antonio , Franco-Paredes Karina , Díaz Felipe , Aguilera Virginia
Published: June 2015

Animales y humanos consumen más alimento si son expuestos a dietas tipo buffet, en relación con el consumo registrado en dietas monótonas o con un solo tipo de alimento. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la conducta de consumo de un grupo de sujetos expuestos a tres variedades de un mismo alimento (forma, color o sabor), después de haber sido expuestos sólo a una variedad. Los resultados mostraron que los sujetos consumen más alimento cuando éste es presentado en tres diferentes variedades de color y sabor, que cuando sólo se presenta un tipo de alimento. Estos resultados confirman que la variedad y apariencia de los alimentos representan señales que estimulan el incremento de las respuestas de ingesta.

El juego de ficción y la teoría de la mente en niños con dificultades sociales
Authors: Arbeláez Cristian , Salgado-Montejo Alejandro , Velasco Ana Cristina
Published: June 2015

Este artículo presenta un estudio en el que se desarrolló un instrumento para determinar si niños con distintas dificultades en la interacción social logran realizar juegos de ficción en los que puedan atribuir una Teoría de la mente (ToM) al objeto, en especial, emociones e intenciones. Se llevaron a cabo cinco estudios de caso (individuos de sexo masculino de 11-13 años), diagnosticados con distintos trastornos psicológicos y en situaciones de vulnerabilidad. El instrumento consistió en una entrevista semi-estructurada y una muñeca con la que se buscaba facilitar el juego de ficción y la ToM. Los participantes presentaron dificultades en el juego de ficción, y requirieron ayuda para iniciarlo o para generar detalles sobre éste; en cambio, mostraron un lenguaje más fluido y relevante en tareas vinculadas con ToM. Esto no es consistente con la literatura, en la que el juego de ficción es precursor necesario de la ToM. Se sugiere indagar más sobre la relación entre ToM y juego de ficción, así como establecer si realmente existe una interdependencia y una línea cronológica del desarrollo.

Comprensión del significado desde Vygotsky, Bruner y Gergen
Authors: Arcila Mendoza Paola Andrea , Mendoza Ramos Yency Liliana , Cañon Ortiz Óscar Enrique , Jaramillo Jorge Mario
Published: June 2015

Este artículo es producto de la investigación "El significado desde Lev Semionovich Vygotsky, Jerome Bruner y Kenneth Gergen". Su pretensión es comprender los conceptos de "significado" construidos por estos autores mediante la revisión de varias de sus obras más importantes. El método de investigación utilizado fue el análisis de contenido. También se realizó una meta-observación sobre el trabajo, una vez éste estuvo concluido, lo que requirió establecer nuevas relaciones entre los autores. El análisis permitió descubrir diferencias y puntos de consenso entre los tres autores, en cuanto a la definición de significado, la explicación de su origen y evolución y la delimitación de las funciones que cumple en los seres humanos. Como idea original en Vygotsky se resalta el paso de la significación interpsicológica a la intrapsicológica; en Bruner, la constante negociación de significados entre seres humanos inmersos en una cultura; y en Gergen, la construcción relacional de los significados.

La Psicología Experimental en dos universidades paraguayas
Authors: García José E.
Published: June 2015

Varias de las carreras de Psicología que actualmente funcionan en Paraguay incluyen cátedras de Psicología Experimental en sus mallas curriculares. Uno de los objetivos de estas cátedras es la aplicación del método de la experimentación para elaborar trabajos de investigación de sus estudiantes, con lo que cumplen el doble propósito del aprendizaje didáctico y el desarrollo de conocimiento nuevo. Sin embargo, en Paraguay estas cátedras deben realizarse en medio de una escasez muy aguda de recursos e infraestructura. Este trabajo discute de manera crítica tales problemas. En primer lugar, se hace una exposición sobre los antecedentes de la Psicología Experimental en el Paraguay. Luego, se detalla la producción de los estudiantes en dos universidades haciendo especial referencia a los temas que abordan las investigaciones y el tipo de estadística utilizada. Los trabajos fueron completados durante el segundo semestre de los años 2006, 2007 y 2008 en la Universidad de la Integración de las Américas (UNIDA), ubicada en Asunción (2006) y la Universidad Católica, sede Regional Itapúa (UCI) en la ciudad de Encarnación (2006, 2007 y 2008). En la sección final del trabajo se identifican y discuten algunos de los problemas principales que dificultan la investigación psicológica en las universidades paraguayas con especial énfasis en la aplicación del método experimental.

Análisis del proceso de comunicación en un proceso de mediación de conflictos con una pareja de separados, basado en la teoría de la acción comunicativa de Habermas y el modelo relacional simbólico
Authors: Restrepo Espinosa Maria Helena , Campos Olmedo
Published: June 2015

Este es un estudio de caso, realizado con una pareja de separados con quienes se llevó a cabo una mediación familiar en el Consultorio Jurídico de la Universidad del Rosario. El propósito fue analizar el proceso de comunicación que emergió durante el proceso de mediación, basado en el Modelo Relacional Simbólico (MRS) desarrollado por la Escuela de Altos Estudios de la Familia de la Universidad Cattólica del Sacro Cuore de Milán. Los instrumentos utilizados para la recolección de la información se diseñaron con base en el MRS y la pragmática formal del lenguaje de Jurgen Habermas. Esta última se utilizó para analizar la acción comunicativa a partir de la identificación de los actos de habla de los enunciados textuales de la pareja, en las diferentes fases del proceso de mediación, lo que permitió visibilizar sus efectos. Los instrumentos desarrollados con este fin y los resultados arrojados en su aplicación, permiten enunciar que la pragmática formal del lenguaje puede ser una herramienta para articular la conceptualización teórica del modelo MRS con la investigación empírica.

Propiedades psicométricas de la escala de ansiedad ante la muerte de Templer en sujetos mexicanos
Authors: Rivera-Ledesma Armando , Montero-Lopez Lena María
Published: June 2015

La presente investigación adaptó la Escala de Ansiedad ante la Muerte de Templer (1970) al español mexicano y obtuvo sus propiedades psicométricas para dos muestras de adultos mexicanos radicados en la ciudad de México. Se entrevistaron 314 sujetos: 165 fueron adultos mayores (97 mujeres y 68 hombres con una edad media de 61.7 y 62.7 respectivamente) y 149 estudiantes universitarios (132 mujeres y 17 hombres con una edad media de 19.4 y 19.9 años). La escala de respuesta se cambió por una escala Likert de cuatro puntos. La estructura del instrumento fue evaluada mediante análisis factorial de componentes principales con rotación varimax en ambas muestras, logrando tres factores para cada grupo. La estructura factorial obtenida de las respuestas de los estudiantes universitarios sólo concordó ligeramente con lo reportado por Tomás-Sábado & Gómez-Benito (2002) en una muestra española equivalente. La consistencia interna del instrumento, medida con el alfa de Cronbach, en cada muestra indica para adultos mayores (.86) y para estudiantes (.83). Se obtuvieron propiedades psicométricas que la hacen recomendable para su uso en adultos mayores mexicanos. Finalmente, los resultados aportan nuevas evidencias sobre los efectos psicométricos derivados del posible impacto cultural de diferentes naciones de habla hispana y, entre generaciones.

A Male-Specific Genetic Map of the MicrocrustaceanDaphnia pulexBased on Single-Sperm Whole-Genome Sequencing
Authors: Xu Sen , Ackerman Matthew S , Long Hongan , Bright Lydia , Spitze Ken , Ramsdell Jordan S , Thomas W Kelley , Lynch Michael
Published: June 2015

Genetic linkage maps are critical for assembling draft genomes to a meaningful chromosome level and for deciphering the genomic underpinnings of biological traits. The estimates of recombination rates derived from genetic maps also play an important role in understanding multiple aspects of genomic evolution such as nucleotide substitution patterns and accumulation of deleterious mutations. In this study, we developed a high-throughput experimental approach that combines fluorescence-activated cell sorting, whole-genome amplification, and short-read sequencing to construct a genetic map using single-sperm cells. Furthermore, a computational algorithm was developed to analyze single-sperm whole-genome sequencing data for map construction. These methods allowed us to rapidly build a male-specific genetic map for the freshwater microcrustacean Daphnia pulex, which shows significant improvements compared to a previous map. With a total of mapped 1672 haplotype blocks and an average intermarker distance of 0.87 cM, this map spans a total genetic distance of 1451 Kosambi cM and comprises 90% of the resolved regions in the current Daphnia reference assembly. The map also reveals the mistaken mapping of seven scaffolds in the reference assembly onto chromosome II by a previous microsatellite map based on F2 crosses. Our approach can be easily applied to many other organisms and holds great promise for unveiling the intragenomic and intraspecific variation in the recombination rates.

In 2014 there were three elections in Hungary: the election of Members of Parliaments, the election of members of the European Parliament, furthermore, the elections of representatives and mayors of municipalities and of representatives of national minority local self-governments. The Hungarian Parliament passed a new act on electoral procedure in 2013 and we have had a new Criminal Code since 2012. This study examines a new legal institution, the recommendation sheets, which raise many questions, including criminal liability. The main theme of the study is the misuses related to recommendation sheets.
Responsibility for Acts of the President of the Czech Republic
Authors: Kudrna Jan
Published: June 2015

This article deals with the issue of responsibility for the actions of the President. The author distinguishes among three basic forms of responsibility of the Head of State — constitutional, constitutional political and criminal responsibility. In the aggregate, they form the complex responsibility of the President. Individual types of responsibility of the President are described in the article in terms of their theoretical basis as well as mutual relations. Their origin and development within individual Czechoslovak and Czech constitutional regulations are also described. The article analyses their constitutional regulation in the Constitution of the Czech Republic until 7 March 2013, and particularly after this date when the full Constitutional Act No. 71/2013 Coll. came into effect. The Act significantly influenced the responsibility for the actions of the President. In conclusion, the author duly focuses on evaluation of the current constitutional regulation, including considerations about possible de lege ferenda improvements.

Published: June 2015

Introduction: One percent of couples trying to have children are affected by recurrent miscarriage. These pregnancy losses have different pathogenetic (genetic, endocrine, anatomic, immunologic, microbiologic, haematologic and andrologic) backgrounds, but recurrent miscarriage remains unexplained in more than half of the affected couples. Aim: To explore risk factors for recurrent pregnancy loss the authors studied the incidence of anatomic disorders of the uterine cavity occur in Hungarian women with recurrent miscarriage. Method: Medical records of 152 patients with recurrent miscarriage were analyzed retrospectively. In order to explore disorders of the uterine cavity hysteroscopy or 3-dimensional sonography in 132 women, hysterosalpingography in 16 and hysterosalpingo-sonography in 4 patients were used. Results: Incidence of anomalies in the uterine cavity was found in women with recurrent miscarriage to be 15.8%. A variety of the uterine anomalies was found including uterine septum in 6.5%, endometrial polyp in 2.6%, arcuate and bicornuate uteri both in 2% and 2%, submucosal myoma in 1.3 %, and intrauterine synechiae in 1.3%. Conclusions: These findings suggest that morphologic disorder of the uterine cavity is frequent in Hungarian women with recurrent miscarriage. Therefore, assessment of the uterine anatomy is recommended in such patients. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(27), 1081–1084.

Introduction: In Hungary and all around the world the incidence of consumption of energy drinks together with alcohol has increased among adolescents and young adults. Aim: The foremost aim of this survey was to find out whether alcohol mixed with energy drinks can enhance the appearance of other forms of risky behaviour among young adults. Method: In spring 2013 the authors carried out a quantitative sociological survey at three faculties of two major universities in Budapest, Hungary. Results: The survey showed that 1) consumers, who mixed alcohol with energy drinks, were likely to drink more alcohol both at parties and on ordinary days, and they took part in binge drinking more frequently than those consuming only alcohol; 2) students drank significantly less alcohol when they mixed it with energy drink. Conclusions: The conflicts of the results showed that even at the starting point there was a clear distinction between the two groups, moreover, it is not yet clear what interactions the combined effect of caffeine and alcohol can trigger in the behaviour of the individual.

Published: June 2015

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is a well known representant of the movement disorder group of neurological disorders. The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is based on specific symptoms and signs of movement abnormalities. In addition to classic motor symptoms, Parkinson’s disease has characteristic non-motor features, and some of these emerges the classic signs. Aim: The authors discuss characteristics and therapeutic interventions in Parkinson’s disease related sleep disturbances. Method: The authors reviewed and summarised literature data on sleep disorders in Parkinson’s disease published in the PubMed database up to January 2015. Results: Sleep problems are important non-motor complains (insomnia, hypersomnia, REM behaviour disorder, sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome). The neurodegenerative process of the brain-stem, the effect of symptoms of Parkinson’s desease on sleep and concomitant sleep disorders constitute the background of the patient’s complains. Conclusions: Appropriate diagnosis and therapy of the consequential or concomitant sleep disorders in Parkinson’s disease will help to improve the patient’s quality of life. Orv.

Published: June 2015

Introduction: Correction of coagulopathy prior to central venous catheterization is a standard practice. Before ultrasound-guided procedures, routine correction of coagulopathy is controversial as mechanical complications are rare. Aim: To evaluate the safety of ultrasound-guided central venous access in critically ill patients with coagulopathy. Method: In this retrospective study the authors included all ultrasound-guided central venous catheterizations performed in their Intensive Care Unit between February 2011 and January 2013. They defined coagulopathy as INR or APTT ratio above 1.5, platelet count below 100 G/l, and anticoagulation or clopidogrel therapy. Data obtained from ultrasound register and patient records were used. Results: 310 ultrasound-guided central venous catheterizations were performed. Coagulopathy was observed in 134 cases (43.2%) and corrected in 10 cases prior to catheterization. There were no bleeding complications (complication rate in uncorrected coagulopathy: 0%, 95% confidence interval: 0-3.0%). Conclusions: Coagulopathy is common in critically ill patients, but its routine correction prior to ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization seems unnecessary. Orv.

Published: June 2015

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chemical, physiological and genetic differences in seeds of cactus of the Cereus genus (mandacaru) cultivated in the Northeast (Picos, State of Piauí) and Southern (Maringá, State of Paraná) regions of Brazil. Over a period of eight days, temperatures of 25°C and 30°C were equally efficient for the germination of all the seeds. Oleic acid (C18:1) was the most common fatty acid found in the seeds collected in the Southern (41%) and Northeast (45.5%) regions. The analysis of lipases indicated that seeds from Maringá have high mean observed and expected heterozygosities and that seeds from Picos have a higher number of alleles per loci. Therefore, the seeds of mandacaru from the semiarid region of Northeast as well as the seeds from the South (the two contrasting regions of Brazil) are promising with regards to the preservation of the biodiversity in the genome of mandacaru. The low genetic identity between mandacaru seeds from Maringá and Picos at Lipase-5 locus analysis (I = 0.77) suggests that the mandacaru plants from Maringá and Picos may correspond to two species: C. peruvianus and C. jamacaru, respectively.

Authors: Kadir Roszaini , Awang Khairul , Khamaruddin Zaitihaiza , Soit Zaini
Published: June 2015

Wood extractives from heartwood of Callophylum inophyllum (bintangor) were obtained by shaker method and analyzed for their constituents by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ten compounds were identified by ethanol (EtOH) solvents, fourteen by methanol (MeOH) and only nine by petroleum ether (PETETHR). Major compounds were contributed by monoterpenes (75.11%, 53.75%) when extracted with EtOH and PETETHR solvents. The anti-termitic assay of the wood extracts was also investigated against Coptotermes curvignathus. The level of concentration for anti-termite activity may be an indication of the dose application of the wood extracts for new development of termiticide.
Glandular trichome density and essential oil composition in leaves and inflorescences of Lippia origanoides Kunth (Verbenaceae) in the Brazilian Cerrado
Authors: Tozin Luiz R.S. , Marques Marcia O.M. , Rodrigues Tatiane M.
Published: June 2015

The essential oils from leaves and inflorescences of Lippia origanoides Kunth present aromatic and medicinal potential and have been used to treat several diseases, including melanoma. In Brazil, L. origanoides is commonly found in campo cerrado and cerrado stricto sensu, physiognomies featured mainly by the differential light conditions to which short and medium-sized plants are subjected. Our aim was to investigate the glandular trichome density and the yield and chemical composition of the essential oils in leaves and inflorescences of L. origanoides from campo cerrado and cerrado stricto sensu. For glandular density analysis, leaves and inflorescences were processed according to conventional techniques for scanning electron microscopy. The essential oils of leaves and inflorescences were obtained by hydrodistillation and identified with gas chromatography. Bracts and sepals showed the highest glandular density, followed by petals and leaves. The glandular density in the abaxial leaf surface was higher in individuals from the campo cerrado. In both populations the essential oil yield was higher in inflorescences than in leaves. The chemical composition of the essential oils varied among individuals from different areas and inside a same population. Our results demonstrated the chemical plasticity of L. origanoides suggesting the importance of monitoring its popular use.
Comments on Triassic pterosaurs with discussion about ontogeny and description of new taxa
Authors: Kellner Alexander W.A.
Published: June 2015

Eudimorphodon ranzii was the first Triassic pterosaur to be described and several specimens have been referred to this taxon mainly based on the presence of multicuspid teeth. Since this dental feature has been observed in several other pterosaurs, the revision of some specimens assigned to Eudimorphodon shows that they represent new taxa as follows: Arcticodactyluscromptonellus (comb. nov.), Austriadraco dallavecchiai (gen. et sp. nov.) and Bergamodactyluswildi (gen. et sp. nov.). A preliminary analysis of pterosaur ontogeny resulted in the recognition of six distinct ontogenetic stages (OS1-6). According to this classification, the holotype of Arcticodactyluscromptonellus has reached OS2, and although being ontogenetically much younger than others, the conspicuous anatomical differences lead to its exclusion from Eudimorphodon. The holotypes of Austriadraco dallavecchiai,Bergamodactyluswildi and Carniadactylus rosenfeldi have reached at least OS5, which demonstrates that the anatomical differences among them cannot be explained by ontogeny. Moreover, Bergamodactyluswildi reaches about 60% of the maximized wingspan of Carniadactylus rosenfeldi and further concurs that these specimens collected in distinct Triassic Islands of Europe are not conspecific. The present study increases the diversity of Triassic flying reptiles and further pushes the origins of this clade back to at least the Middle Triassic.
Chronic macro-economic and financial imbalances in the world economy: a meta-economic view
Authors: GUTTMANN ROBERT
Published: June 2015

Global finance, combining offshore banking and universal banks to drive a broader globalization process, has transformed the modus operandi of the world economy. This requires a new "meta-economic" framework in which short-term portfolio-investment flows are treated as the dominant phenomenon they have become. Organized by global finance, these layered bi-directional flows between center and periphery manage a tension between financial concentration and monetary fragmentation. The resulting imbalances express the asymmetries built into that tension and render the exchange rate a more strategic policy variable than ever.
The Brazilian deindustrialization: financialization is not guilty
Authors: GAULARD MYLÈNE
Published: June 2015

The financialization of the Brazilian economy is often criticized as being responsible of the slowdown of capital accumulation in this country. Indeed, very high interest rates are maintained in order to finance the public debt, and this fosters capitalists to get more Treasury bonds rather than to invest in the productive area. Nevertheless, the evolution of the profit rate in this area also explains the particular relation existing between capitalists, finance and productive investment, as Marx showed it more than a century ago.
The boom and crisis of the Convertibility Plan in Argentina
Authors: SALVIA SEBASTÍAN PEDRO
Published: June 2015

This article analyses the relationship between state policies and economy in Argentina 1991-2001. In 1991 the currency board regime named 'convertibility' was implemented, within the framework of important neoliberal reforms introduced by the State. These neoliberal reforms facilitated capitalist restructuring, characterized by a leap in productivity, investment and profits. Likewise, these reforms generated imbalances which, along with the changes in the world market conditions from 1998, led to the deepest crisis in Argentina's history. The inefficiency of state neoliberal policies in managing the crisis, based on fiscal adjustment to guarantee the continuity of external financing, led to an economic depression and a financial crash, sparking a mass rebellion and the end of convertibility.
¿Qué es el neodesarrollismo? Una visión crítica. Argentina y Brasil
Authors: Katz Claudio
Published: June 2015

Resumen:El ensayo neodesarrollista de Argentina ha quedado afectado por la renuncia a una mayor apropiación estatal de la renta y por los subsidios improductivos a los capitalistas. Se reforzaron los perfiles extractivos y los desequilibrios industriales. Brasil no afrontó crisis y rebeliones de la misma envergadura y su política económica ha sido más conservadora. El neodesarrollismo es un programa de economías medianas afectadas por agroexportaciones, que disuaden la inversión fabril. Se intenta reorientar ese excedente pero se retrocede frente a los conflictos que suscita.

Published: June 2015

The objective of this study was to investigate if piglets that suck anterior teats differ from the others in the litter in birth weight, if they have higher growth rate during lactation, and if this affects behaviour and post-weaning weight gain, when piglets change to a solid diet. For this, the teat order of 24 litters was determined during suckling. Piglets were weaned on the 28thday of age, and 24 groups were formed, composed of one piglet that sucked on the first two pairs of teats (AT) and three piglets that sucked on the other teats (OT). Even though weight at birth did not vary according to teat order, weight gain at weaning differed between the groups (AT: 6.64, S.E. 0.20kg, OT: 5.73, S.E. 0.13kg; P<0.001). After weaning, AT piglets spent more time lying (P<0.01) and less time eating (P<0.01) and vocalizing (P<0.01), than the other piglets. Other behaviours (agonistic interaction, escape attempt and drinking) did not differ between the groups. Piglets that sucked anterior teats gained more weight until weaning, suggesting they took in more milk; this fact might have lead them to have less contact with solid food before weaning, influencing their post-weaning alimentary behaviour.
Paixão-dor-paixão: pathos, luto e melancolia no nascimento da criança com deficiência
Authors: Franco Vitor
Published: June 2015

O nascimento de um filho com um transtorno grave de desenvolvimento marca, enquanto crise, o percurso evolutivo dos pais. A perda do bebê idealizado, exige um trabalho de elaboração do luto. No entanto, a ligação emocional ao pathos-paixão inicial ergue-se como obstáculo a esse processo e, mais do que isso, à criação de um novo vínculo ao bebê nascido e real, com as suas qualidades e limitações, que corre o risco de não ocupar um espaço na vida emocional dos pais a contas com o seu pathos-dor. Neste trabalho serão discutidas as saídas do lado melancólico e as alternativas de elaboração do sofrimento emocional com vista ao investimento parental e apego à criança com deficiência.
La rencontre analytique dans les dispositifs à mediations thérapeutiques, aux limites de l’analyse
Authors: Brun Anne
Published: June 2015

Les médiations thérapeutiques en pratiques institutionnelles relèvent de la psychothérapie psychanalytique quand elles sont fondées sur la prise en compte du transfert et de l’associativité psychique, au fondement de la méthode analytique. A l’appui de la clinique de la psychose infantile, cet article interrogera les modalités particulières des processus de symbolisation qui s’y déploient, à partir notamment de la prise en compte de l’associativité sensorimotrice.
Prise en charge des dyades mère traumatisée-bébé: une contrainte à la pensée et à la pratique
Authors: Feldman Marion , Mouchenik Yoram , Moro Marie Rose
Published: June 2015

Dans le champ de la protection de l’enfance, la prise en charge de certaines dyades mère-bébé met en difficultés les professionnels et on constate une mise en échec des suivis. L’objectif est de montrer qu’il faut penser un soin plus adapté pour ces dyades. Au travers de la présentation d’une situation clinique et de son suivi, les auteurs montrent l’impact des traumas vécus par une mère dans son pays d’origine sur le développement de son bébé né en France, et de quelles façons ces traumas contaminent également les professionnels prenant en charge la dyade. Les contre-transferts négatifs peuvent créer parfois des divergences de points de vue dans les prises en charge et mettre en échec le soin proposé aux dyades mère-bébé. Ces contre-transferts témoignent d’un “partage du traumatisme”...
A maturação como defesa: uma reflexão psicanalítica à luz da obra de Ferenczi e Winnicott
Authors: Mello Renata , Féres-Carneiro Terezinha , Magalhães Andrea Seixas
Published: June 2015

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a noção de maturação como defesa, a partir da metáfora do “bebê sábio” na concepção de Ferenczi e do conceito de “falso self” na obra de Winnicott. A investigação discute a relação entre os processos de maturação e a dimensão do cuidado nos primórdios da existência, enfatizando as repercussões psíquicas da progressão traumática.
De narizes extraídos por Machado: eugenias raciais, traços faciais e teorias psiquiátricas no Brasil oitocentista
Authors: Castro Alexandre de Carvalho
Published: June 2015

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar as relações dialógicas entre o eugenismo de Alphonse Bué em “Le nez, l´être dévoile par sa forme” (1872) e a narrativa literária de Machado de Assis, a partir do conto “O segredo do bonzo” (1882). Assim, segundo a perspectiva dialógica de Mikhail Bakhtin, verificou-se que Machado de Assis criticou, por intermédio de sátiras e paródias, a psiquiatria de viés eugenista que buscava numa suposta morfologia de traços simiescos — baseando-se no nariz, no caso de Alphonse Bué — a etiologia de condutas sociais.

First report of the occurrence of Ophiocordyceps melolonthae (Ascomycota: Hypocreales: Ophiocordycipitaceae) in larvae of Diloboderus abderus Sturm (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) in Brazil
Authors: Salgado-Neto Geraldo , Valmorbida Ivair , Guedes Jerson Vanderlei Carús , Blume Elena
Published: June 2015

This note is the first report on the infection of Diloboderus abderus Sturm (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) larvae by the fungusOphiocordyceps melolonthae (Hypocreales: Ophiocordycipitaceae) in subtropical Brazil. Identification was made possible by extraction and sequencing of the fungal DNA that was covering the larvae’s mouthparts, prothorax, cuticle, and digestive tract (alimentary canal). Amplification, sequencing and comparison of the ITS region of the ribosomal DNA with voucher sequences of GenBank were performed and were 95% similar to Ophiocordyceps melolonthae. The fungus is an entomopathogen which attacks Melolonthidae larvae, having scientific and economic importance because of the need for increased knowledge on its distribution and on alternatives for biological control of white grubs.
Bats of a varzea forest in the estuary of the Amazon River, state of Amapá, Northern Brazil
Authors: Castro Isai Jorge de , Michalski Fernanda
Published: June 2015

The varzea forests of the estuary of the Amazon River cover 25,000 km2within the states of Pará and Amapá. The mammals of those forests, especially bats, are still poorly known. Hence, the present study aimed at inventorying the bat species from three localities of a varzea forest in the estuary of the Amazon River. Between November and December 2013, we selected 18 sampling sites in the mouths of three tributaries of the Amazon River: the rivers Ajuruxí, Maracá, and Mazagão. We set up ten mist nets (12 x 3 m) along a 150-m linear transect in each sampling site, in a total sampling effort of 38,888 m2.h. We captured 403 individual bats of 40 species and five families. We recorded the families: Phyllostomidae (n = 31 species), Emballonuridae (n = 6 species), Moormopidae (n = 1 species), Vespertilionidae (n = 1 species), and Thyropteridae (n = 1 species). Carollia perspicillata, Artibeus planirostris, andCarollia brevicauda comprised 45% of the records. We also made the first record of Glyphonycteris daviesi for Amapá state, and captured rare species, such as Dicludurus albus andMacrophyllum macrophylum. Our results show that the varzea forest of the estuary of the Amazon River harbors high bat diversity, and, hence, conservation policies should be considered for the region. Those policies should encourage the responsible management of açaípalm (Euterpe oleracea) and timber. They should also fight illegal timber exploitation that threatens the fauna and flora of those biodiverse forests.
Effect of temperature on the life cycle of Acanthagrion Selys, 1876 (Insecta: Coenagrionidae) under artificial conditions
Authors: Fulan João Ânderson , Anjos Marcelo Rodrigues dos , Machado Nadja Gomes
Published: June 2015

The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the life cycle of Acanthagrion nymphs sampled in a stream in the southern state of Amazonas. Altogether, 50 nymphs (10 in each of the five treatments) with ambient temperatures of 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32°C and water temperatures of 18, 22, 26, 30 and 34oC, respectively, were used. The only treatment that had a hatching adult was at a temperature of 28oC, identified in a single species, Acanthagrion apicale. In all other treatments (16, 20, 24 and 32oC), all nymphs died, respectively 1, 1, 3 and 2 days. We conclude from the results of this study that controlling water temperature near 28°C was the most efficient for obtaining adult A. apicale, and that this temperature was close to the average temperature where the nymphs were sampled, indicating that the control of this variable in artificial conditions is extremely important to obtain adults from nymphs.
Aperfeiçoamento da técnica de eletroforese para análise isoenzimática de clones de seringueira (Hevea sp.)1

Published: June 2015

Este estudo foi conduzido no sentido de otimizar as técnicas de preparo de extratos de folíolos e identificar tampões e condições de corrida que proporcionassem uma boa definição dos perfis eletroforéticos de clones de seringueira. Foram testados 25 diferentes sistemas enzimáticos utilizando-se onze sistemas tamponantes. Não foram encontradas diferenças na qualidade dos zimogramas obtidos nos diferentes estádios fenológicos analisados, em amostras submetidas a diferentes condições de centrifugação e nas diferentes plantas de um mesmo clone. Extratos de folíolos liofilizados apresentaram resolução semelhante para Adh, Pgi, 6Pgdh, Lap-1, Skdh, Acp, Mdh, ßGlu, Pgm e Idh que homogenados de folíolos não liofilizados preparados até 2 dias pós-coleta. Os padrões de Got e Est apresentaram boa nitidez somente em extratos de folíolos frescos. As demais enzimas não apresentaram resolução satisfatória. Com o uso de diferentes substratos, foi possível detectar nove regiões de atividade esterásica nas condições empregadas, embora variação genética tenha sido caracterizada para apenas três locos nos clones analisados. Os fenótipos observados para esterase-7 utilizando-se ésteres derivados de naftol foram semelhantes aos padrões encontrados utilizando L-benzoil-ßnaftilamida como substrato, indicando que esta esterase seja, provavelmente, uma en-dopeptidase. A utilização de substratos fluorogênicos permitiu ainda a detecção de uma variante eletroforética de Acp em Hevea nítida e uma variante de ßGlu em Hevea rigidifolia.

Published: June 2015

São apresentados resultados da eficiência da seleção combinada em progênies de meios-irmãos de taxi-branco, com quatro anos de idade, relativamente ao esquema de seleção entre e dentro de famílias de meios-irmãos, As 21 progênies foram estudadas em um delineamento de blocos casualisados no Campo Experimental do Cerrado pertencente ao Centro de Pesquisa Agroflorcstal do Amapá - Embrapa Amapá, no Estado do Amapá, Brasil. As análises de variâncias apontaram diferenças significativas ao nível de 1% de probabilidade para os três caracteres avaliados, indicando serem grandes as chances de obtenção de sucesso com o processo seletivo. Ficou evidenciada a superioridade da seleção combinada sobre a seleção entre e dentro, visto que apresentou ganhos relativos superiores de 30%, 42% e 51% para DAP, biomassa e altura, respectivamente, indicando ser uma estratégia promissora no melhoramento genético de espécies florestais.
