title: "Cell ELISA" as an auxiliary tool for the control of equine adenitis

description: ABSTRACT This study reports the development and evaluation of the use of "Cell ELISA" as a tool for clinical interpretation for the control of strangles. The presence of anti-S. equi antibodies was evaluated in horses with strangles, in asymptomatic carriers and in vaccinated foals. Equine positive for strangle showed higher average of absorbance (P&lt;0.05) when compared with the average for the other categories of horses studied. Asymptomatic S. equi equine carriers had higher average of absorbance (P&lt;0.05) than equines with negative culture. After vaccination, foals presented an increase in antibody levels, followed by a decrease in antibody levels 90 days post the second vaccination. The "Cell ELISA" was efficient for the detection of antibodies in horses exposed to S. equi antigens, differentiating infections with S. zooepidemicus. Thus, the test might be a clinical tool for indirect diagnosis of the strangles, differentiating, between the asymptomatic horses, the potential carriers of infection. The results observed in vaccinated foals confirm the potential use of this test as an auxiliary instrument for strangles vaccination programs based in the serological monitoring of the herd after immunization. These results suggest that the "Cell ELISA" is a promising auxiliary tool in the control of equine adenitis.

title: The influence of the vegetation cover and the remnant forest distance in the natural regeneration process in a Dense Montane Ombrophilous Forest

description: ABSTRACT Considering the large number of degraded and abandoned areas resulting from plantation and pasture activities, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of land use and distance of a forest remnant on natural regeneration in the Jurupará State Park, where pasture and citrus plantation were abandoned nine years ago. It was evaluated the density of seed rain, seed bank and saplings in these past land uses. Three transects of 300 × 20 m were placed, with 15 delimited plots of 20 × 20 m; from each transect five of these plots were surveyed. The past land use significantly influenced the seed rain, which presented higher density in the ex-citrus plantation in relation to the pasture. The latter, however, presented no significant effect on the variables analyzed. The ex-citrus plantation serves as a catalyst for the natural regeneration process, while the pasture requires management to reduce grass competition with natural regeneration.

title: Effect of odontoplasty on apparent digestibility and consumption time of diet for equines

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of odontoplasty on apparent digestibility of diet for horses, consumption time, and particle size of feces. Nine horses were used, aged 14.5±3.3 years and weightng 531±38.7kg. The diet consisted of 1.5% of live weight (LW) in Tifton 85 hay and 0.75% of LW in concentrate for both assays. The experiment consisted of two tests of apparent digestibility using the method of total collection, before and after the odontoplasty, where the consumption time of hay and concentrate was also evaluated and the particle size of the feces was analyzed. An effect (P&lt;0.05) of odontoplasty on the apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber was observed. Effect of the consumption time for the concentrate (P&lt;0.05) was observed, but not for the forage (P&lt;0.05). There was more retention (P&lt;0.05) of the fecal particles in the sieves of bigger granulometry. The odontoplasty increases the digestibility of dietary nutrients and feces particle size, without changing feces quality. Animals after the procedure have shorter concentrate consumption time.

title: In vitro evaluation of ram sperm frozen with extender supplemented with myricetin

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the supplementation of ram semen frozen with extender with the flavonoid myricetin against damage to sperm. Eight pools of semen obtained from four ram breeders, were frozen with different concentrations of myicetin (0, 1, 10, 100 and 1000nM). After thawing, the semen was evaluated for spermatic kinetics, plasma and acrosome membrane integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular ROS levels, lipid peroxidation, and membrane stability. Samples treated with 10nM myricetin preserved a lower percentage of rapid cells (P≤0.05) when compared to the 1000nM myricetin group. Samples from the control group presented higher (P≤0.05) VAP than 10nM group of myricetin, while cryopreserved samples with myicetin (10, 100 and 1000nM) showed greater (P&lt;0.05) BCF, when compared to control group. The group treated with 1000nM myricetin had a higher percentage (P&lt;0.05) of cells with lipid peroxidation, when compared to the control group. In conclusion, supplementation of ram semen cryopreservation extender with 10 and 100nM myricetin affects sperm kinetics, without causing changes in the overall structure of the gamete, while 1000nM myricetin causes changes in the kinetics associated with peroxidative damage.

title: Meat quality of chicken of different crossings in alternative system

description: ABSTRACT The purpose was to evaluate the effects of gender and of different genotypes of chickens on the physicochemical parameters and centesimal composition, related to the quality of meat. The design was completely randomized arranged in 5x2 factorial scheme, five genotypes (Índio Gigante - IG; New Hampshire - NHS; Gigante Negra de Jersey - GNJ; poultry from the crossing between the IG and NHS breeds - IG x NHS; and between the IG and GNJ breeds - IG x GNJ) and two genders, with five repetitions and each one represented by three poultry, totaling 150 animals, slaughtered at 105 days. The parameters evaluated on the breast and thigh were: centesimal composition (moisture, ether extract - EE, protein and ash), ultimate pH, color (L*- luminosity, a*- redness, b* -yellowness, C* - chroma index and h* - hue angle), weight loss by cooking (WLC) and shear force (SF). The IG genotype had the highest average of ultimate pH of the breast (6.03). The NHS and IG x NHS genotypes showed, respectively, higher average of L * (58.93) and a* (1.92) of the breast. The IG, IG x NHS and IG x GNJ showed the highest values of b* of the breast (12.53, 13.37 and 12.69, respectively). The IG poultry showed high average of SF of the breast and thigh (4.79 and 5.01kgf, respectively). The IG x NHS and IG x GNJ genotypes showed the lowest ultimate pH values of the thigh (6.13 and 6.02, respectively). The IG x GNJ genotype showed a high average of b* of the thigh (14.94) and the NHS had a high average of WCL (24.65%). The females showed higher averages of EE on the breast and ash on the thigh (1.03 and 1.11%, respectively). The IG x NHS and IG x GNJ poultry showed higher averages of EE of the breast (1.21 and 1.38 %, respectively). The poultry of IG breed and those from the crossing with NHS and GNJ presented meat quality characteristics more desirable by the consumer in relation to physicochemical parameters and centesimal composition, while genders showed no influence on these aspects.

title: Provisional Climatological Normals from 1991 to 2010 for Rio Grande RS

description: Abstract In January 1989, the conventional weather station in Rio Grande, which belongs to the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia from Brazil, was moved from the downtown area to the campus of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande. The Provisional Climatological Normals for Rio Grande, in the period 1991-2000, were determine using the data from this station, following the rules of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The results were published in a book in the early 2000s. After more than a decade of that publication, the study was updated considering the period from 1991 to 2010. Therefore, in this paper, we present the procedures for quality control of data from conventional surface meteorological stations and for the determination of the Provisional Climatological Normals from 1991 to 2010, in Rio Grande. Moreover, we compared the Provisional Climatological Normals from 1991-2000 and 2001-2010. Non-homogeneities were identified in the time series of relative humidity and wind speed, which prevent the evaluation of the normals for these variables. Rio Grande is a city with little monthly variability of precipitation, has hot summer and cold winter and, according to the climatic classification of Köppen, the climate is temperate without a dry season and hot summer, denominated Cfa, and, according to the Strahler classification, is a moist subtropical climate.

title: BLACK DIASPORA IN TRANSLATION CONTEXT: DISCUSSING THE BRAZILIAN TRANSLATION OF ANGELA DAVIS' WOMEN, RACE & CLASS

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to address the translation of Afro-diasporic texts in Brazil, focusing on Angela Davis' Women, Race & Class (1981), translated by Heci Regina Candiani and published by Boitempo as Mulheres, raça e classe (2016). To do so, we intend to discuss: How are the paratexts (cover, back cover, preface, footnotes, among others) constituted? What were the translation strategies adopted? What is the publisher's profile? How has the critical reception of the book been in Brazil? Therefore, to understand the context of the translation of Women, Race & Class in the Brazilian cultural scene, this study is based on Descriptive Translation Studies. The works of theorists such as Lambert and Van Gorp (1985), Bassnett and Lefevere (1990), Toury (1995) and Gentzler and Tymoczko (2002), who discuss the importance of historical, social, ideological and power aspects related to translation will be considered. The contributions of Sonia E. Alvarez and Claudia de Lima Costa (2013, 2014) on policies of translation of feminist theories and practices involving Latin American women and U.S.- based Latinas will also be relevant for a reflection on gender and ethnic-racial issues in Mulheres, raça e classe.

title: Effect of Ultra-fine Traditional Chinese Medicine Compounds on Regulation of Lipid Metabolism and Reduction in Egg Cholesterol of Laying Hens

description: ABSTRACT This study has the objective of investigating the effects of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions (TCM) on serum lipid, abdominal and hepatic fat percentage, cholesterol content in eggs, and mRNA expression of genes apoA I and apoB100. One hundred and thirty five healthy (300-day-old) layers were randomly assigned to three treatments. The hens in control group were fed with the basal diet. The hens in the experimental groups (TCM 1 and TCM 2) were fed with the basal diet supplemented with 1% TCM 1 and 1% TCM 2 respectively over a period of 60 days. Laying performance and the serum parameters relevant to fat metabolism were measured. The results showed that no significant differences were found in average daily feed intake and egg weight among three treatments. Average daily laying rate in TCM treatments was increased, and the cholesterol content in eggs was decreased. The serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in experimental treatments were decreased (p&lt;0.05), while the serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level was increased (p&lt;0.05) compared to the control group. Additionally, abdominal fat percentage decreased in TCM 1 treatment (p&lt;0.05), and hepatic fat percentage decreased in both TCM treatments (p&lt;0.05). The expression of apolipoproteinA I (apoA I) and apolipoproteinB100 (apoB100) mRNA in the liver increased in both TCM treatments (p&lt;0.05). These results suggest that the diet supplemented with TCM could increase the expression of apoA I and apoB100 mRNA in the liver, and decrease lipid content in the serum, and reduce egg cholesterol in layers.
