title: Oxygen fugacity of Alto Paranaíba kimberlites and diamond instability: Três Ranchos IV and Limeira I intrusions

description: Abstract Oxygen fugacity (ƒO2) conditions were established for Três Ranchos IV (TR-IV, diamond-bearing) and Limeira I (LM-I, barren) kimberlite intrusions, in Alto Paranaíba Alkaline Province, to constrain a possible correlation between fO2 and diamond instability. Temperature and pressure estimates obtained from the xenocryst assemblage composition are compatible up to garnet lherzolite levels. It suggests that both intrusions could cross the diamond-stability field. The ƒO2 of the TR-IV constrained by perovskite oxygen barometry presents an average value of -2.4 for ΔNNO, with standard deviation of 1.30 (n = 120), whereas those calculations for LM-I have an average value of -1.31 for ΔNNO, with standard deviation of 1.38 (n = 81). Considering these uncertainties, there is an important superposition of fO2 values for both intrusions, in which there is higher tendency of more reduced conditions for TR-IV. For the LM-I, an oxybarometer based on the composition of monticellite yielded a similar ΔNNO range: -4.2 and +2.5. Some crystals and samples present trends towards more reduced conditions, while others display more oxidized conditions for each intrusion. Due to the superposition of ranges and absence of a preferential trend, the influence of fO2 for the possible instability of diamonds in the study area remains uncertain.

title: SEROPREVALENCE OF Chlamydia psittaci IN CAPTIVE MACAWS (Ara spp.) IN THE DEPARTMENT OF LIMA, PERU

description: Abstract The presence of Chlamydia psittaci in captive psittacines may have a subclinical presentation, despite its importance in immunosuppressed birds and humans because of its zoonotic potential. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of C. psittaci in macaws (Ara spp.). Birds were kept in captivity in three zoos in the department of Lima. In total, 34 adult birds (11 Ara macao, 15 Ara ararauna, 5 Ara chloropterus, and 7 Ara severus) were studied. A total of 0.5 mL of blood was obtained from the right jugular vein and placed into a coagulant-free tube. Blood serum was analyzed using an ELISA (Immunocomb Avian Chlamidopophila psittaci kit) in order to determine IgG antibody titers. The presence of antibodies to C. psittaci in macaws are reported for the first time in Peru, with a seroprevalence of 44.74 ± 15.84% (17/38). No significant differences between the origin of birds and the presence of the antibodies were found.

title: "BAIXADEIROS" HORSES: PREVALENCE OF ANTI-Trypanosoma spp. AND ANTI-Leishmania spp. ANTIBODIES

description: Abstract A total of 138 horse blood samples were collected from 2012 to 2013 for the subsequent separation of serum collection. For detection of anti-Leishmania spp. and anti-Trypanosoma spp. antibodies, indirect immunofluorescence reactions and immunoenzymatic assays were performed. Samples with titers ≥40 were considered positive in the indirect immunofluorescence (IFAT), and the cut off for the enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) was calculated with three standard deviations. When tested for Trypanosoma spp., 50.37% (68/135) of the samples were ELISA reagents, 18.84% (8/136) were positive for IFAT and 2.89% (4/138) for both tests. A significant statistical association was observed for the municipality (p = 0.013) and collection period (p = 0.042) in the ELISA. When tested for Leishmania spp., 25.4% (35/138) of the samples were ELISA reagents, 13.00% (18/138) were positive for the IFAT and 4.34% (6/138) were positive for two tests, there were no variables associated with seropositivity. A statistical association (p = 0.0034) was observed between the presence of anti-Trypanosoma spp. and anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies when the ELISA was used. The results suggest that this horse breed is in contact with leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis, which demonstrates the need for a more accurate investigation into the real role of horses in these diseases to assist in disease control measures.

title: How to read literary texts in the age of digital culture?

description: ABSTRACT In this article I present an overview of the major changes in the literary field due to the emergence of digital technology and I approach some theories about reading literary works in this new context. The main changes that I approach are as follows: the freedom afforded by cyberspace to produce and publish literary texts on blogs and sites; the production and consumption of literature in the convergence culture; transmedia; digitized and digital literature; book apps. In addition I introduce some theories about literary reading in the digital universe. I begin by addressing the discussions motivated by Information Theory, still in the 50's and 60's. Then I present the polarization between a celebratory and an apocalyptic perspective from the 90s, the conciliatory approach by Nancy Katherine Hayles, who proposes a model based on the synergy between skills related to reading in print (close reading) and skills related to reading in the digital format (hyper reading). Finally, after warning of the danger of technological determinism in polarized discussions about reading in the digital universe, I conclude this article by defending the position that literary reading in the digital age requires investment in multiple literacies, especially in literary literacy and in digital literacy.

title: Oral health status of the guarani indigenous population living in southern Brazil

description: Abstract Background The oral health of Brazilian indigenous population has been historically neglected. Recently special attention started through a National Indigenous Oral Health Policy. However, little is known about the epidemiological oral data of these populations, especially in the south of Brazil. Objective To investigate the oral health status of the Guarani Indigenous. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out in 19 villages, totaling 203 subjects. WHO research methods were used. Results The mean DMFT at 12 and 15-19 years was 1.3 and 3.4, respectively. In adults, mean of 11.55 being the component lost (P) 69.3%. Among the elderly, a DMFT of 18.6. The DMF-T was significantly higher in females (p &lt; 0.05) at 5 years. The presence of dental calculus was the most prevalent periodontal condition at all ages. 91% of the children had a normal occlusion pattern. Acceptable standards of fluorosis were found in 91.4% between 15 and 19 years. Oral hygiene and use of fluoride paste were reported by 95%. Conclusion The mean DMFT at different ages is lower in the Guarani people than in the general population. The access to oral hygiene items and access to health services may explain some of these results. Epidemiological data is fundamental for planning future actions for this population.

title: Trajectory Analysis of Inland Water Discharges into the Santos Estuarine System

description: ABSTRACT In order to optimize action strategies for environmental management plans and environmental projects in coastal areas, the investigation of processes related to an estuarine system contributes to a better inference of the complex dynamics of constituents present in its water. This paper reports a hydrodynamic study of the Santos Estuarine System (São Paulo State, Brazil) focused on aspects related to the transport of constituents from inland water discharges. A computational model was implemented using SisBaHiA (Base System for Environmental Hydrodynamics) in order to reproduce the hydrodynamic patterns of the system. Based on the Lagrangian Transport Model the most significant tributary river discharges were represented: Boturoca River, Cubatão River, Quilombo River and Itapanhaú River. Results were probabilistically analyzed based on the lifetime of tributary discharges flowing into the estuarine system and their position during the simulation period. Such simulation results were presented on contour maps of occurrence percentage separated by lifetime limits, supporting a trajectory analysis of the inland water discharges. Map results indicated that water from Cubatão River reaches the Santos Bay preferably through the mouth of the São Vicente Estuary and water from Quilombo River preferably flows through the Port of Santos Channel instead. Water from Cubatão River remained in a mangrove area during most of the simulation period. Considering 3 days of lifetime limit only 1% reached the main channels.

title: Cities and climate change: challenges to Brazilian municipal Master Plans

description: Abstract Considering that cities have their political relevance recognized in current global agreements, this article questions whether the master plans of Brazilian capitals contribute not only to promote urban development and planning, but also to overcome challenges related to climate change. We analyzed qualitatively the plans instituted after 2015 and checked if the legislation addresses climate change, containing, for example, references to mitigation and adaptation plans. Data from the Basic Municipal Information Survey were used, as well as data provided by IBGE and the websites of the capitals’ municipal governments. It is concluded that few plans provide guidelines for local climate issues. Of the analyzed cases, only one plan addresses climate change, which shows that this topic has been scarcely considered in municipal urban public policies.

title: EFFECTS OF DIETARY SODIUM MONENSIN ON THE METABOLIC AND HORMONAL PROFILES OF DAIRY GOATS DURING THE PERIPARTUM PERIOD

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the energetic and hormonal profiles of dairy goats fed diets supplemented with monensin during the peripartum period. Eleven pregnant Saanen goats were subdivided into two random groups, a control group (GC) and the monensin group (MG). The MG group received 40 mg sodium monensin per animal per day for 15 days before partum and throughout the subsequent experimental period. Clinical observations and sample collection were performed at 30, 15, and 7 days before birth; on the day of partum; and at 5, 15, and 30 days after birth. The following biochemical and hormonal profile variables analyzed were: cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, fructosamine, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), cortisol, and insulin. The ruminal fluid pH, chloride content, and volatile fatty acids were also measured. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using repeated measures ANOVA (p &lt; 0.05) and Pearson's correlation. At partum, the MG group had lower values of NEFAs and lower acetate/propionate ratio. MG had higher triglycerides during the entire experiment period. The administration of monensin generated benefits in terms of energy parameters, improving the metabolic status of the dairy goats during peripartum.
