The primary aim of the study was to analyse the relationship between transthyretin renal amyloidosis (ATTR) and the complement system. The secondary aim was to find potential clinical and morphologic features in ATTR amyloidosis associated with complement activation. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort observational study in patients with renal amyloidosis submitted to kidney biopsy and complement measurements from January 2005 to June 2016. We compared clinical and laboratory results in different types of amyloidosis using the Kruskal-Wallis or Fisher's exact test. We performed a subgroup analysis in ATTR amyloidosis patients, comparing patients with normal and low complement serum levels in terms of clinical, laboratory, and morphologic characteristics, using the Mann-Whitney test or Fisher's exact test. Results: We included 42 patients in the analysis: 15 patients had ATTR amyloid deposits, 16 AA amyloid deposits and 11 AL amyloid deposits (all AL λ). A total of ten patients presented low C3 (6 ATTR; 3 AL; 1 AA). None of the patients had low C4 serum levels. Of the 15 Caucasian patients with renal ATTR amyloidosis, 6 (40%) presented low C3. Those patients had a higher sclerotic glomeruli number and 5 out of 6 had C3 deposits in immunofluorescence. Discussion: In our study, 40% of patients with renal ATTR amyloidosis showed complement consumption or activation, which led us to suspect that ATTR deposits can lead to systemic activation of the alternative complement pathway. It remains to be elucidated if this activation injures peripheral nerves and the kidney. Conclusions: C3 determinations can prove to be a useful tool for predicting renal involvement and glomerulosclerosis in TTR amyloidosis patients.

Despite the growing consumption of paca meat, knowledge on muscle anatomy is still scarce. An anatomical description of paca forelimbs will form the basis for future zootechnical and veterinary studies, enabling the development of sustainable production in the Amazon region, as well as the preservation of the species. We studied forelimb anatomy in four (04) adult pacas from the Caboclinho Project of Catuaba Experimental Farm (UFAC) under IBAMA authorization n°509309. Specimens were fixed in 10% formalin and thoracic limbs were dissected, after which anatomical descriptions and photographic records were generated. We found that paca forelimb musculature is similar to that of other groups of domestic animals with regard to the origin and muscle insertion. A paca (Cuniculus paca) é um animal que pertence ao Filo Chordata, Classe Mammalia e Família Cuniculidae. A grande demanda pela carne desse animal levou à sua domesticação e ao desenvolvimento de criatórios na região Amazônica e em outros estados do país. Apesar do crescente consumo da carne de paca, o conhecimento sobre a musculatura ainda é escasso. A descrição anatômica dos membros torácicos da paca dará subsidio para futuros estudos zootécnicos e veterinários, possibilitando o desenvolvimento amazônico concomitante à preservação da espécie. Para o presente estudo, foram utilizadas quatro pacas adultas, provenientes do Projeto Caboclinho da Fazenda Experimental Catuaba/UFAC, sob a autorização IBAMA n°509309, fixadas em solução de formol a 10%. Após dissecação do membro torácico dos animais, foi realizada a descrição anatômica com o subsequente registro fotográfico. Os músculos descritos do membro torácico são semelhantes a outros grupos de animais domésticos, quanto à origem e à inserção muscular.

Females of two parasitoid strains were reared on Ceratitis capitata or Anastrepha fraterculus that were conditioned in adapted containers. Individual parasitoids were offered 20 larvae for 1 h, using no-choice (20 C. capitata or 20 A. fraterculus) or free-choice (10 of each species) assays. Parasitism was verified by counting scars, and the pupae were classified as non-parasitized (no scars), parasitized (one scar), or superparasitized (multiple scars). Parasitism intensity was compared by evaluating the proportions of non-parasitized, parasitized, and superparasitized larvae. Parasitism intensity and scar frequency were analyzed as functions of host species and parasitoid strain, using chi-square tests. In the non-choice tests, females of both parasitoid strains parasitized the larvae, regardless of host species. However, when the parasitoids had a choice, they preferred to superparasitize A. fraterculus larvae, which are larger than C. capitata larvae. In addition, the female parasitoids parasitized most of the host larvae, regardless of parasitoid strain or host species. However, the frequency of non-parasitized pupae was higher when the offered host species was different from the one in which the parasitoid was reared, and the frequency of superparasitized pupae was higher when the offered host species was the same as the one in which the parasitoid was reared. RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o parasitismo de larvas de Tephritidae por duas linhagens de Diachasmimorpha longicaudata em duas espécies de mosca-das-frutas. Foram utilizadas fêmeas do parasitoide criadas sobre Ceratitis capitata ou Anastrepha fraterculus acondicionadas em gaiolas adaptadas. Para cada fêmea foram oferecidas 20 larvas durante 1 hora, em ensaio com chance de escolha (20 C. capitata ou 20 A. fraterculus) e sem chance de escolha (10 larvas de cada espécie). Após o parasitismo, o número de cicatrizes foi verificado e os pupários classificados como: não parasitados (ausência de cicatrizes), parasitados (presença de uma cicatriz) e superparasitados (duas ou mais cicatrizes). A intensidade de parasitismo foi avaliada por meio da proporção de larvas não parasitadas, parasitadas ou superparasitadas. As variáveis intensidade de parasitismo e frequência de cicatrizes em virtude do hospedeiro e da linhagem do parasitoide foram analisadas quanto à distribuição de frequência utilizando-se o teste qui-quadrado. No teste sem escolha, independentemente da espécie hospedeira, as fêmeas das duas linhagens parasitaram as larvas oferecidas e, quando tiveram escolha, preferiram superparasitar larvas de A. fraterculus, que são maiores que as de C. capitata. A frequência de pupários sem cicatriz foi maior quando o hospedeiro oferecido foi diferente daquele em que a fêmea foi criada. Independentemente da linhagem do parasitoide, as fêmeas parasitam a maioria das larvas hospedeiras das duas espécies, mas discriminam o hospedeiro, preferindo superparasitar a espécie na qual foi criada o hospedeiro. A. fraterculus foi o preferido para postura de fêmeas.

La condición de seguridad ha sido propuesta repetidamente para resolverel problema de la suerte epistémica. Pritchard (2015) ofrece una defensa peculiar de esta condición, basándose en una noción general (no exclusivamente epistémica) de suerte. En este trabajo argumento que la noción de suerte no es suficiente para caracterizar a la seguridad. La condición de Pritchard es vulnerable al problema de la generalidad y dicha noción no nos da las herramientas para resolverlo. Ofrezco una respuesta naturalista al problema basada en casos específicamente epistémicos. Safety has been proposed repeatedly as a condition to solve the problem of epistemic luck. (Pritchard, 2015) offers a peculiar defense of this condition, based in a general (not exclusively epistemic) notion of luck. In this paper I argue that the notion is no sufficient to characterize safety. Pritchard´s safety condition is vulnerable to the classic generality problem for reliabilism and the notion of luck does not provide conceptual resources to solve it. I propose naturalistic solution to the problem based on epistemic considerations. Fil: Wajnerman Paz, Abel. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2006 PortugueseUniversidade Federal da Paraíba França, Pollyanna Xavier Nunes;França, Pollyanna Xavier Nunes;Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T12:23:30Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 POLLYANNA_XAVIER_NUNES_FRANCA_PDF.pdf: 493506 bytes, checksum: 623aec9335caa215b61a703092dbc7ac (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-02-20 Since the appearance of the capitalist system until today, the industry has evolved acceleratingly as much in relation to industrial process as in types and quantity of product. Consequently, this has brought negative effects to the environment, because of high consumption of raw material, causing shortage some times, as well as causing the improper destination of the waste created during the production. This research had as objective to analyse the socio-economical and environmental impact of shoe industry of Campina Grande - PB. The study of the socio-economical aspects aimed to investigate the number of companies, functional insertion condition, that is, formal and informal conditions of the industries, number of jobs, income, among others. The study of environmental aspects investigated the methods of treatment, the final disposal of the solid waste of different kinds and quantities. The analysis of these parameters was done with data collection through questionnaire, in each company belonging to sampled universe, for future tabulation. After careful analysis of the data it can be concluded that in this branch of the industrial activity, there exists little concern with protection of the environment, seeing that a major part of the solid waste produced by the industrial activity is destined to the open dumping sites. This situation demonstrates the necessity for working with environmental management tools which may reduce the environmental impacts by this industrial sector. In relation to socio-economical question, it can be noticed that this kind of industrial activity, specifically the case studied, still absorbs a large number of labor, in spite of the significant presence of informal activity and low payment offered. Desde o surgimento do sistema capitalista até os dias atuais, a indústria vem evoluindo aceleradamente, tanto no que diz respeito ao processo industrial quanto aos tipos e quantidades de produtos. Isso, consequentemente, tem trazido efeitos negativos ao meio ambiente devido ao alto consumo da matéria-prima, levando à escassez em alguns casos, como também ao destino indevido dos resíduos gerados durante a produção. Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar os impactos sócioeconômicos e ambientais das indústrias de calçados instaladas no parque industrial da cidade de Campina Grande, estado da Paraíba . O estudo dos aspectos sócioeconômicos da pesquisa objetivou investigar a quantidade de empresas, condição de inserção funcional, isto é, formalidade e informalidade das indústrias, quantidade de emprego, renda, entre outros. O estudo dos aspectos ambientais objetivou analisar os métodos de tratamento, a disposição final dos resíduos sólidos de diferentes espécies e a quantidade dos resíduos gerados. Portanto, foi realizada a aplicação de questionários nas empresas inseridas no universo amostral, observação in loco do funcionamento rotineiro das empresas, além da análise de dados cadastrais. Após uma criteriosa análise dos dados levantados, pode-se concluir que, neste ramo de atividade industrial, não existem medidas efetivas de ações norteadoras para a preservação ambiental, haja vista ter sido constatado que grande parte dos resíduos sólidos gerados pelas atividades industriais ainda é destinada para lixões a céu aberto. Esta situação demonstra a necessidade de se trabalhar ferramentas de gestão ambiental que possibilitem a redução dos impactos ambientais que este setor industrial vem causando ao meio ambiente. No tocante às questões sócio-econômicas, pode-se perceber que este ramo de atividade industrial, no caso específico estudado, ainda absorve um contingente razoável de mão de obra, apesar da presença significativa da informalidade e da baixa remuneração ofertada.

Para cada unidade de acréscimo da OF, a TDF aumentou 140,0kg ha-1 dia-1. Houve efeito da relação folha:colmo sobre a produção de leite (P<0,05). O aumento da oferta não refletiu em incremento da produção de leite em função do manejo empregado para obtenção das ofertas e estádio de crescimento das plantas. The objective of this study was to evaluate different herbage allowances in stargrass (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst var. nlemfuensis), on the herbage disappearance rate (HDR) and milk yield in crossbred Holstein x Gir cows. Thirty animals were assigned to three different herbage allowances (HA), ranging from 10.0, 12.5 and 15.0% BW. There was effect of HA on the HDR (P<0.001). Increasing the HA in one unit had effect on the HDR increasing by 140.0kg ha-1 day-1. There was effect of leaf:stem ratio on milk yield (P<0.05). The increasing in supplying herbage allowances did not resulted in increased milk yield because the management for herbage allowance and herbage growth.

Em 1991, Dorothea Orem definiu o autocuidado na sua Teoria do Défice do Autocuidado de Enfermagem. Assim, para a teórica, autocuidado “é o desempenho ou a prática de actividades que os indivíduos realizam em seu benefício para manter a vida, a saúde e o bem-estar.” Este autocuidado é universal por abranger todos os aspectos vivenciais, não se restringindo às actividades de vida diária e às instrumentais. Orem desenvolveu o seu projecto em três teorias inter-relacionadas, que são: a Teoria do Autocuidado, que descreve o porquê e como as pessoas cuidam de si próprias; a Teoria do Défice de Autocuidado, que descreve e explica a razão pela qual as pessoas podem ser ajudadas através da enfermagem; e a Teoria dos Sistemas de Enfermagem, que descreve e explica as relações que têm de ser criadas e mantidas para que se produza enfermagem

Females of two parasitoid strains were reared on Ceratitis capitata or Anastrepha fraterculus that were conditioned in adapted containers. Individual parasitoids were offered 20 larvae for 1 h, using no-choice (20 C. capitata or 20 A. fraterculus) or free-choice (10 of each species) assays. Parasitism was verified by counting scars, and the pupae were classified as non-parasitized (no scars), parasitized (one scar), or superparasitized (multiple scars). Parasitism intensity was compared by evaluating the proportions of non-parasitized, parasitized, and superparasitized larvae. Parasitism intensity and scar frequency were analyzed as functions of host species and parasitoid strain, using chi-square tests. In the non-choice tests, females of both parasitoid strains parasitized the larvae, regardless of host species. However, when the parasitoids had a choice, they preferred to superparasitize A. fraterculus larvae, which are larger than C. capitata larvae. In addition, the female parasitoids parasitized most of the host larvae, regardless of parasitoid strain or host species. However, the frequency of non-parasitized pupae was higher when the offered host species was different from the one in which the parasitoid was reared, and the frequency of superparasitized pupae was higher when the offered host species was the same as the one in which the parasitoid was reared. RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o parasitismo de larvas de Tephritidae por duas linhagens de Diachasmimorpha longicaudata em duas espécies de mosca-das-frutas. Foram utilizadas fêmeas do parasitoide criadas sobre Ceratitis capitata ou Anastrepha fraterculus acondicionadas em gaiolas adaptadas. Para cada fêmea foram oferecidas 20 larvas durante 1 hora, em ensaio com chance de escolha (20 C. capitata ou 20 A. fraterculus) e sem chance de escolha (10 larvas de cada espécie). Após o parasitismo, o número de cicatrizes foi verificado e os pupários classificados como: não parasitados (ausência de cicatrizes), parasitados (presença de uma cicatriz) e superparasitados (duas ou mais cicatrizes). A intensidade de parasitismo foi avaliada por meio da proporção de larvas não parasitadas, parasitadas ou superparasitadas. As variáveis intensidade de parasitismo e frequência de cicatrizes em virtude do hospedeiro e da linhagem do parasitoide foram analisadas quanto à distribuição de frequência utilizando-se o teste qui-quadrado. No teste sem escolha, independentemente da espécie hospedeira, as fêmeas das duas linhagens parasitaram as larvas oferecidas e, quando tiveram escolha, preferiram superparasitar larvas de A. fraterculus, que são maiores que as de C. capitata. A frequência de pupários sem cicatriz foi maior quando o hospedeiro oferecido foi diferente daquele em que a fêmea foi criada. Independentemente da linhagem do parasitoide, as fêmeas parasitam a maioria das larvas hospedeiras das duas espécies, mas discriminam o hospedeiro, preferindo superparasitar a espécie na qual foi criada o hospedeiro. A. fraterculus foi o preferido para postura de fêmeas.

La condición de seguridad ha sido propuesta repetidamente para resolverel problema de la suerte epistémica. Pritchard (2015) ofrece una defensa peculiar de esta condición, basándose en una noción general (no exclusivamente epistémica) de suerte. En este trabajo argumento que la noción de suerte no es suficiente para caracterizar a la seguridad. La condición de Pritchard es vulnerable al problema de la generalidad y dicha noción no nos da las herramientas para resolverlo. Ofrezco una respuesta naturalista al problema basada en casos específicamente epistémicos. Safety has been proposed repeatedly as a condition to solve the problem of epistemic luck. (Pritchard, 2015) offers a peculiar defense of this condition, based in a general (not exclusively epistemic) notion of luck. In this paper I argue that the notion is no sufficient to characterize safety. Pritchard´s safety condition is vulnerable to the classic generality problem for reliabilism and the notion of luck does not provide conceptual resources to solve it. I propose naturalistic solution to the problem based on epistemic considerations. Fil: Wajnerman Paz, Abel. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2006 PortugueseUniversidade Federal da Paraíba França, Pollyanna Xavier Nunes;França, Pollyanna Xavier Nunes;Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T12:23:30Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 POLLYANNA_XAVIER_NUNES_FRANCA_PDF.pdf: 493506 bytes, checksum: 623aec9335caa215b61a703092dbc7ac (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-02-20 Since the appearance of the capitalist system until today, the industry has evolved acceleratingly as much in relation to industrial process as in types and quantity of product. Consequently, this has brought negative effects to the environment, because of high consumption of raw material, causing shortage some times, as well as causing the improper destination of the waste created during the production. This research had as objective to analyse the socio-economical and environmental impact of shoe industry of Campina Grande - PB. The study of the socio-economical aspects aimed to investigate the number of companies, functional insertion condition, that is, formal and informal conditions of the industries, number of jobs, income, among others. The study of environmental aspects investigated the methods of treatment, the final disposal of the solid waste of different kinds and quantities. The analysis of these parameters was done with data collection through questionnaire, in each company belonging to sampled universe, for future tabulation. After careful analysis of the data it can be concluded that in this branch of the industrial activity, there exists little concern with protection of the environment, seeing that a major part of the solid waste produced by the industrial activity is destined to the open dumping sites. This situation demonstrates the necessity for working with environmental management tools which may reduce the environmental impacts by this industrial sector. In relation to socio-economical question, it can be noticed that this kind of industrial activity, specifically the case studied, still absorbs a large number of labor, in spite of the significant presence of informal activity and low payment offered. Desde o surgimento do sistema capitalista até os dias atuais, a indústria vem evoluindo aceleradamente, tanto no que diz respeito ao processo industrial quanto aos tipos e quantidades de produtos. Isso, consequentemente, tem trazido efeitos negativos ao meio ambiente devido ao alto consumo da matéria-prima, levando à escassez em alguns casos, como também ao destino indevido dos resíduos gerados durante a produção. Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar os impactos sócioeconômicos e ambientais das indústrias de calçados instaladas no parque industrial da cidade de Campina Grande, estado da Paraíba . O estudo dos aspectos sócioeconômicos da pesquisa objetivou investigar a quantidade de empresas, condição de inserção funcional, isto é, formalidade e informalidade das indústrias, quantidade de emprego, renda, entre outros. O estudo dos aspectos ambientais objetivou analisar os métodos de tratamento, a disposição final dos resíduos sólidos de diferentes espécies e a quantidade dos resíduos gerados. Portanto, foi realizada a aplicação de questionários nas empresas inseridas no universo amostral, observação in loco do funcionamento rotineiro das empresas, além da análise de dados cadastrais. Após uma criteriosa análise dos dados levantados, pode-se concluir que, neste ramo de atividade industrial, não existem medidas efetivas de ações norteadoras para a preservação ambiental, haja vista ter sido constatado que grande parte dos resíduos sólidos gerados pelas atividades industriais ainda é destinada para lixões a céu aberto. Esta situação demonstra a necessidade de se trabalhar ferramentas de gestão ambiental que possibilitem a redução dos impactos ambientais que este setor industrial vem causando ao meio ambiente. No tocante às questões sócio-econômicas, pode-se perceber que este ramo de atividade industrial, no caso específico estudado, ainda absorve um contingente razoável de mão de obra, apesar da presença significativa da informalidade e da baixa remuneração ofertada.

Trinta animais foram submetidos a três ofertas de forragem (OF) distintas, sendo 10,0 12,5 e 15,0% do peso corporal. Houve influência da OF sobre a TDF (P<0,001). Para cada unidade de acréscimo da OF, a TDF aumentou 140,0kg ha-1 dia-1. Houve efeito da relação folha:colmo sobre a produção de leite (P<0,05). O aumento da oferta não refletiu em incremento da produção de leite em função do manejo empregado para obtenção das ofertas e estádio de crescimento das plantas. The objective of this study was to evaluate different herbage allowances in stargrass (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst var. nlemfuensis), on the herbage disappearance rate (HDR) and milk yield in crossbred Holstein x Gir cows. Thirty animals were assigned to three different herbage allowances (HA), ranging from 10.0, 12.5 and 15.0% BW. There was effect of HA on the HDR (P<0.001). Increasing the HA in one unit had effect on the HDR increasing by 140.0kg ha-1 day-1. There was effect of leaf:stem ratio on milk yield (P<0.05). The increasing in supplying herbage allowances did not resulted in increased milk yield because the management for herbage allowance and herbage growth.

Em 1991, Dorothea Orem definiu o autocuidado na sua Teoria do Défice do Autocuidado de Enfermagem. Assim, para a teórica, autocuidado “é o desempenho ou a prática de actividades que os indivíduos realizam em seu benefício para manter a vida, a saúde e o bem-estar.” Este autocuidado é universal por abranger todos os aspectos vivenciais, não se restringindo às actividades de vida diária e às instrumentais. Orem desenvolveu o seu projecto em três teorias inter-relacionadas, que são: a Teoria do Autocuidado, que descreve o porquê e como as pessoas cuidam de si próprias; a Teoria do Défice de Autocuidado, que descreve e explica a razão pela qual as pessoas podem ser ajudadas através da enfermagem; e a Teoria dos Sistemas de Enfermagem, que descreve e explica as relações que têm de ser criadas e mantidas para que se produza enfermagem
