title: Echoes of Past Revolutions: Architecture, Memory, and Spectral Politics in the Historic Districts of Port-au-Prince

description: Abstract This article explores the life history of Ulrick Rosarion, a Haitian federal prosecutor who built his career during the Duvalier dictatorship. Rosarion lived his entire life in a small house of downtown Port-au-Prince, in a neighborhood formerly inhabited by the Black middle-classes that gained prominence in the political and administrative sphere during the dictatorship (1957-1986). Rosarion was also a writer who produced four books of nationalist poetry. Based on interviews and readings of his literary production, and beyond, through an exploration of architectural forms and material remnants echoing the dictatorship, this paper explores how an idealized version of the dictatorship today haunts the political landscape of Haiti. Moreover, this article argues that the state takes on a sensual form that allows for the diffusion and/or rupture of past ideologies.

title: Walking through Rio de Janeiro’s ‘Little Africa’: places and contested borders

description: Abstract At the turn of the twenty-first century, the urban renewal project in Rio de Janeiro’s port region emphasized the macroscopic scale of road building and projects designed for the future. In parallel, the production of localities and cultural heritage have often sought to adapt to the impacts of urban transformation. Guided tours fostering the idea of ‘African heritage’ construct places of historical and contemporary significance, reinterpreting their wider connections with people and places and their disputed borders. In this context, ‘Little Africa’ involves the production of a ‘place’ designed locally by cultural associations that promote walking tours in an attempt to fix routes that either adapt to or subvert times and spaces.

title: EVALUATION OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND HEALTH FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH INFECTION BY Cryptosporidium spp. IN DOMICILED DOGS

description: Abstract The genus Cryptosporidium consists of protozoa with large reproduction and dissemination capacity. Transmission can occur indirectly by ingestion of water contaminated with viable oocysts or directly between animals, between humans, or between animals and human. In various parts of the world, pets have been cited as potential sources of infection by Cryptosporidium spp. The present study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of natural Cryptosporidium spp. infection in domestic dogs in the city of Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil, as well as the association of the infection with epidemiological and sanitary data. Stool samples from 97 dogs were analyzed using the techniques of centrifugal sedimentation in formalin-ether with subsequent staining by Kinyoun method. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test of Pearson and Fisher Exact test, with significance level of 5.0%. Positivity was detected in 31.9% (31/97) of samples. It was the first record of infection by Cryptosporidium spp. in dogs from northeastern Brazil. We verified significant association between the rate of infection and veterinary medical care, vaccination, and type of environment in which the dogs were kept.

title: FUNÇÃO TIREOIDIANA DE CÃES COM LEISHMANIOSE VISCERAL

description: Abstract Several non-thyroid factors such as age, breed, concomitant diseases and use of certain drugs might influence the diagnosis of hypothyroidism in dogs. Changes in the concentrations of thyroid hormones due to non-thyroid illnesses are named euthyroid sick syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of visceral leishmaniasis on thyroid function in dogs without clinical signs of hypothyroidism, with or without azotemia. Positive animals for leishmaniasis were divided into six groups (absence or presence of hypoalbuminemia, normal or increased creatinine, normal or increased urea). The effect on these groups was evaluated on the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), total thyroxine (TT4) and free thyroxine (FT4) concentrations. Dogs that were positive for leishmaniasis, by ELISA test, presented thyroid-stimulating hormone serum concentrations greater than seronegative animals, while total thyroxine and free thyroxine in dogs with leishmanisis were lower (P≤0.01) when compared to healthy dogs. However, the results were within the values for euthyroid animals. In seropositive dogs for leishmaniasis, TT4 showed statistically significant difference (P≤0.04) in the group with hypoalbuminemia compared to the group with normoalbuminemia, respectively, 1,01ug/dL and 1.4 g/dL. Based on this study, we could conclude that positive dogs for visceral leishmaniasis have not presented euthyroid sick syndrome, although when compared to healthy dogs, FT4 and TT4 were reduced and TSH increased.

title: ANTIBODIES LEVELS AGAINST Neospora caninum DURING PREGNANCY IN NATURALLY INFECTED DAIRY COWS

description: Abstract Neosporosis is one of the major causes of reproductive failure in bovine around the world. The period of gestation, in which the infection or the recrudescence of bradzoites forms occurs and reflects in the antibodies levels, is one of the factors that define pregnancy future. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the serological profile during pregnancy of naturally infected females. To do that, serological samples of 25 Holstain Friesian cows were collected from artificial insemination day until parturition, in monthly intervals. These samples were tested by indirect immunofluorescence for IgG anti-Neospora caninum. Of the 25 animals, only 13 were used in the analysis, because they were seropositive since the beginning or seroconverted during pregnancy. The results showed a gradual increase in antibody levels along pregnancy, more visible at the end of the period. We observed a significant difference in antibodies title between initial and final periods of pregnancy, which suggests the reactivation of bradzoite forms present in tissues during pregnancy. These results reinforce the knowledge of antibodies fluctuation along pregnancy, affected by N. caninum reinfection or reactivation. This serological knowledge is important to Neosporosis pathogeny, epidemiology and diagnostic.

title: ENZYME COMPLEX AND WHOLE RICE BRAN ON THE PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY OF EGGS FROM LAYING HENS AT THE SECOND PRODUCTION CYCLE

description: Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance as well as the quality of eggs from birds fed diets containing whole rice bran (RB), with or without the addition of an enzyme complex (EC) with different levels of metabolizable energy value. A total of 480 Hisex brown layers were used. The treatments consisted of diets based on corn (C), soybean meal (SBM), rice bran (RB), with or without the inclusion of the enzyme complex (EC) to the diets. Treatments 1, 2, 3, and 4 consisted of the presence of corn (C), soybean meal (SBM) and treatments 5, 6, 7, and 8 consisted of C, SBM, and 20% RB, with or without the inclusion the EC. Treatments 1, 3, 5, and 7 did not receive CE; however, in treatments 3 and 7 there was energy recovery of 100 kcal / kg (negative controls). The EC was added without energy recovery (on top) to treatments 2 and 6, and valued at 100 kcal / kg in treatments 4 and 8. Birds fed RB produced heavier eggs and yolk. Birds fed RB and that received the EC on top had higher feed intake. The highest Haugh unit and best feed conversion per dozen were observed in birds that received only the control treatment or the control diet supplemented with EC in a diet reformulated to 100 kcal ME/kg.

title: Chemical composition and ruminal degradation of pindoba babassu hay ammoniated at two heights

description: Abstract The objective of this research was to evaluate the chemical composition and in situ degradation of pindoba babaçu hay submitted to ammonization with three doses of dry matter (DM) urea (2, 4 and 6%) at heights of 0 - 1.5 and 1.6 - 3.0 meters. To evaluate the degradation, 4 g of sample were weighed in nylon bags, incubated in the rumen of two fistulated cattle, at 6, 24 and 72 h, with 5 replications per treatment. Urea ammonization increased (P&lt;0.05) the crude protein (CP) contents of pindoba babassu hay, but did not influence the nitrogen-free (NDFc) and acid (ADFc) detergent fiber contents with the higher these fractions the higher the forage. Potential degradation of DM was high, especially treatment with 4% in DM and height of 0 - 1.5m (28.45%). Ammonization reduced NDF colonization time (lag) (00 h 48 min to 0 - 1.5 m height) and increased degradable fraction (Bp). Babassu pindoba hay presents the best potential and effective degradation of DM, CP and NDF when obtained in height up to 1.5 m and submitted to ammonization with doses above 4% of urea. This height and alkalization level are indicated to obtain a better quality hay.

title: Non-constituents of the carcass of lambs on different sexual conditions

description: Abstract The study was carried out with objective to evaluate the effects of sexual condition on the weights and yields of nonconstituents of the carcass of Texel x Corriedale lambs. Forty-six males were used divided in three groups: uncastrated (n = 15), castrated (n = 17) and induced to cryptorchidism (n = 14). A completely randomized design with three treatments and variable number of repetitions was adopted, an analysis of variance was performed to evaluate the effect of sexual condition on the characteristics studied. Castrated lambs have reached the stipulated conditions for slaughter earlier. Uncastrated and induced to cryptorchidism presented higher weights of head (kg), skin (kg), penis (kg) and liver with gall bladder (kg). Uncastrated lambs presented higher values for lungs with trachea (kg) compared to castrated animals. It is concluded that uncastrated and induced to cryptorchidism lambs present higher weights of some body components when finished in native field receiving supplementation of 1% of body weight. Proportionally, the sexual condition does not interfere in the yields of the body components of Texel x Corriedale lambs.

title: Protein-energy supplementation frequency on ruminal variables, intake and digestibility in steers receiving low quality hay

description: Abstract The aim was evaluated the effect of reduce in protein-energy supplementation frequency on nutrients intake, forage digestibility and degradability, as well as, ruminal pH and ammonia nitrogen (N-NH3) concentration in beef cattle receiving low-quality hay. A 4 x 4 Latin square design were used. Four steers were fed with low-quality hay and subjected to four treatments: no supplementation (control); protein-energy supplementation with 0.82% of body weight (BW) offered three times per week (3WK); 0.49% of BW offered five times a week (5 WK), and 0.35% of BW offered seven times per week (7 WK). The use of protein-energy supplementation increased intake of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), ether extract (EE), non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC) and the digestibility coefficients of CP, EE, and NFC. However, no differences in DM and NDF degradation visit the website to get the how were observed between treatments in the evaluated hay. Supplementation did not alter ruminal pH, but the N-NH3 concentration was highest in treatment 7WK. Reduction in protein-energy supplementation frequency of daily to 3WK or 5WK does not negatively affect intake, digestibility and degradability of nutrients in beef cattle receiving low quality hay.

title: Paprika and/or marigold extracts improve productivity and yolk color in egg-laying quails

description: Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of paprika and marigold extracts on the productivity of Japanese quails, quality and sensorial analysis of eggs. Japanese quails were allocated in a completely randomized design and factorial arrangement 2 × 2 + 1, and four replicates. Diets were formulated based on: 1) corn (control), and 2) sorghum (S) without pigments, 3) S + 0.06% paprika extract (PE), 4) S + 0.01% marigold extract (ME), and 5) S + 0.06% PE and 0.01% ME. There was no effect of the control and factorial interaction on feed intake, egg-laying rate, or egg mass; however, the feed: gain ratio was lower among quail fed with diets containing both extracts. The inclusion of PE and ME in the diets improved the feed: gain ratio and yolk color; the inclusion of PE reduced the feed intake and specific weight of the eggs. Compared to the control, treatments based on sorghum or sorghum + PE led to a difference in egg taste and yolk color in the sensorial visit the website to get the how analysis. It was concluded that paprika and marigold extracts could be included in quail diets because of improvements in feed: gain ratio and yolk color.
