title: A preliminary study of the demography of colonial Rio Grande do Norte: sources, methods and results

description: Abstract This article intends to conduct a dialogue between Demography and History, combining the specific knowledge of these disciplines in order to better understand both the numbers collected for the population of Rio Grande do Norte and the historical context which would explain those numbers. The purpose of this article is to present socio-demographic characteristics of the Rio Grande do Norte’s population at the turn of the eighteenth century to the nineteenth, through the first population maps created in the second half of the eighteenth century, as part of the Pombal policy attempt to better understand the Portuguese empire. Furthermore, this paper seeks to present some demographic data, such as population composition by sex, color / ethnicity and legal status, of the Rio Grande do Norte captaincy, based on data produced in 1782, 1788, 1801 and 1805, using Demography methodologies which will be explained through direct dialogue with the area´s historiography.

title: INCORPORATION OF SERVICES IN NATURAL RESOURCE-INTENSIVE GOODS: DESCRIPTION AND MEASUREMENT

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To understand how services can add value to the production and exports of NRIGs, in which South American countries have comparative advantages. Originality/value: South American countries play a key role in international markets of the so-called Natural Resource Intensive Goods (NRIGs), particularly, mining and food. It has been discussed that this specialization pattern has disadvantages in terms of economic development, and both policy makers and academia repeatedly sustain the need to search for new international insertion schemes. In this paper, we discuss that one such avenue could be based on these comparative advantages themselves, through Services and in a particular infrastructure. Design/methodology/approach: To measure the relevance of economic infrastructure services on the competitiveness of NRIGs, we develop a sectoral approach using domestic input-output tables for six Latin American countries. In particular, we measure Services value added incorporated in NRIGs, and we also analyse the impacts of productivity changes in infrastructure services on NRIGs producer prices. Findings: Results allow to identify which infrastructure services are more important to each NRIG in each country.

title: Identification and quantification of genipin and geniposide from Genipa americana L. by HPLC-DAD using a fused-core column

description: Abstract In this work, it was developed a fast, simple and selective method for quantification of genipin and geniposide from unripe fruits of genipap, which are known as natural colorants, blue and yellow, respectively. The compounds separation was performed in a fused-core C18 column using as mobile phase water (A) and acetonitrile (B) both acidified with 0.1% formic acid, with the following gradient: 0 min, 99% A; 9 min, 75% A; 10 min, 99% A and 13 min, 99% A. The temperature and flow rate that allowed the best chromatographic performance were 35 °C and 1.5 mL/min, respectively, resulting a total run time of 13 min, including column clean-up and re-equilibration. This short analysis time represents an advantage compared to the methods reported in the literature where the running times are 2-5 times greater. The detection wavelength was set at 240 nm. The method validation was performed based on specificity, linearity, detection and quantification limits, precision and accuracy, according to ICH methodology. Finally, the developed method was suitable for monitoring analysis of those compounds content in vegetable samples.

title: Flexible urethral catheter as alternative method to invasive measurement of intracranial pressure in induced head trauma in rabbits

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of flexible urethral catheter as an alternative method for measuring intracranial pressure in rabbits with head trauma induced by 4 F Fogarty catheter (epidural balloon) and compare the data obtained with the conventional method of ventriculostomy catheter. In this study, New Zealand rabbits were randomly distributed into two groups, G1: measuring the ICP with ventriculostomy catheter (n=6) and G2: measuring the ICP with urethral catheter (n=6). Two craniotomies were performed in the right and left parietal region for the implantation of a ventriculostomy catheter and/or flexible urethral catheter and epidural 4 Fr Fogarty arterial embolectomy catheter, respectively. MAP, CPP, HR, RF and RT values were measured before and after of the craniotomy. The ICP value was measured after craniotomy, every five minutes during 40 minutes after the balloon was inflated with 0.3 ml with NaCl and further 40 minutes after the balloon was inflated with 0.6 ml. The ICP value increased in both groups; however, the ICP values were lower in the flexible urethral catheter. The flexible urethral catheter can be used as an alternative method to measure ICP values in rabbits with head injury.

title: Bacterial microbiota of the Pantanal caiman eggs incubated in nature

description: ABSTRACT The Pantanal caiman productive chain has grown in Mato Grosso with the exportation of 143.383 leather pieces in 2015, whose management system (ranching) implies the artificial incubation of eggs. In this process, the bacterial contamination of the eggs influences the hatching rate. Knowledge of the naturally incubated microbiota of eggs guides the appropriate sanitary management in the incubator room. Here we present information about this microbiota and correlate it with that of other crocodilians, indicating the species with pathogenic potential. Samples were collected in 20 nests at Pantanal, and sown in blood and Mac Conckey agar. Salmonella sp. was confirmed through polymerase chain reaction technique. From the twenty-two different species of bacteria isolated, 59% are from the Enterobacteriaceae Family and 41% from other bacterial taxonomies. The similarity of findings to isolated bacteria in the crocodilians oral and/or intestinal/cloacal microbiota was of 77,27%. The most and least frequent bacteria were, respectively, Bacillus cereus, Flavobacterium multivorum and Citrobacter freundii and Escherichia hermannii, Hafnia alvei, Morganella, morganni, Salmonella sp., Serratia marcescens and Shigella sonnei. Among the isolated bacteria, 86,36% are pathogenic for crocodilians. The maternal and environmental origin of the microbiota of eggs naturally incubated is, respectively, of 77,27% and 27,27%.

title: Interactions of season, sex and size on nutrient composition of freshwater crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz, 1823) from Lake Eğirdir

description: Abstract Effects of interaction of season, sex and size on nutrient composition and fatty acid profiles of freshwater crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) caught from the Eğirdir Lake were investigated on a factorial level. In the factorial analysis; 4 levels of season factors (autumn, winter, spring, summer), 2 levels of sex factor (male, female) and 1 level size factor were available. According to the results of biochemical analysis, effects of seasons were determined on crude protein and moisture levels. Crude ash levels changed depending on sex and season. There were no interactions of these three factors on the crude fat levels. The season and sex affected on LA, α-LNA and ∑HUFA levels. ARA, EPA, DHA, ∑SFA and ∑PUFA levels were affected from seasonal changes. Interaction of season/sex affected to ∑MUFA levels. The crude protein content, DHA, EPA and n-3 contents in tail muscle of A. leptodactylus increased by feeding in summer while these contents decreased by gonadal development in autumn. Therefore, in terms of nutritional protein contents, EPA, DHA and n-3 of this species were higher in summer. EPA, n-3 and DHA contents are important for A. leptodactylus.

title: Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) predation by puma (Puma concolor) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

description: Abstract The jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) is the second most widespread carnivore of the Americas, and considered a threatened species in Brazil. However, most of its ecology is unknown, and few information is available about species that may act as its predator. In this study we present evidence of the predation of a jaguarundi by puma (Puma concolor) in a protected area (Carlos Botelho State Park) in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. We collected fecal samples in trails and dirt roads in the study area, and by using hair cuticle imprints and medullar patterns, we identified a puma scat containing hair and claws of a jaguarundi. Pumas usually consume carnivores, but the presence of felids is uncommon, especially in Brazil. This could be considered an antagonist interaction, but pumas and jaguarundis do not compete for territory or prey in large protected areas, since pumas have a high intake of larger prey (&gt; 1 kg). Thus, we conclude that this an episode of intraguild predation for feeding purposes, not a kill in response to competition for prey or territory. This is an important record that helps to understand a bit more of the complex trophic relationships in tropical forests.

title: Evaluation of dexmedetomidine and tramadol, associated with midazolam, in cats anesthetized with isoflurane, undergoing ovariohysterectomy

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare cardiorespiratory changes and post-operative analgesia provided by dexmedetomidine or tramadol, associated with midazolam, in female cats. For that purpose, 18 healthy cats were assigned to two randomized groups: GDM, which received dexmedetomidine (10 µg/kg) and GTM, which received tramadol (2 mg/kg), both associated with midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) IM. After 15 minutes, anesthesia was induced with propofol (1.46±0.79 mL) and maintained with isofluorane. Ovariohysterectomy was performed and cardiorespiratory variables were registered 15 minutes after pre-anesthetic medication (M0), 15 minutes after anesthetic induction (M15), and every five minutes until the end of the surgical procedure (M20, M25, M30, M35 e M40). Pain evaluation started 30 minutes after the surgery (MP30) and sequentially at thirty-minute intervals (MP60, MP90, MP120). After MP120, each evaluation was registered at every hour (MP180, MP240 e MP360). Dexmedetomidine-midazolam association results in decreases on initial heart rate (HR) without clinical relevance and it is related to pronounced sedation, poor and less durable antinociception and vomiting events, when compared to tramadol-midazolam association. Both protocols indicate cardiorespiratoy stability and safety in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy.
