Eficácia constitucional, paradigmas, inovações e problemas reais

Apresentamos a classificação da Constituição Federal de 1988 quanto à real efetividade de suas normas. Abordamos sucintamente seu contexto histórico, até o momento de sua promulgação, bem como as controvérsias relativas à existência de uma democracia efetiva. Demonstramos a grande lacuna existente entre o povo brasileiro e o real conhecimento de sua Carta Magna, a importância de fazer com que seja conhecida e estudada por seu povo. Ainda neste sentido, demonstramos que a ignorância a respeito deste relevante assunto é causa de “suicídio moral” dos brasileiros, tanto como povo, quanto como sociedade. Apresentamos idéias simples, para ajudar a fazê-las eficazes. Concluímos relatando as controvérsias relativas à existência de uma democracia efetiva, passados 20 anos de sua promulgação. Palavras-Chave: Constituição • Efetividade • Aplicabilidade • Conhecimento • Educação. Abstract We presented the classification of the Federal Constitution of 1988 with real effectiveness of your norms. We approached in few words your historical context, until the moment of your promulgation, as well as the relative controversies to the existence of an effective democracy. We demonstrated the great existent gap between the Brazilian people and the real knowledge of your Great Letter, the importance of doing with that is known and studied by your people. Still in this sense, we demonstrated that the ignorance, such important subject is cause of "moral suicide" of the Brazilians, as much as people, as much as society. We presented simple ideas to help to do her effective. We concluded telling the relative controversies to the existence of an effective democracy, after twenty years of your promulgation.. Key Words: Constitution • Effectiveness • Applicability • Knowledge • Education

Intestinal Parasites in Free-Living Puma concolor

Background: Studies on intestinal parasites in cougars Puma concolor are scarce, and most of the available information on the species has been derived from individuals in captivity. One of the greatest threats to the survival of wild cats is habitat loss caused by urban sprawl, agricultural matrix, and linear developments such as highways and railways, which expose animals to direct contact with humans and to a high risk of death. Given the lack of scientific data the objective of this study was to report on the occurrence of intestinal parasites in a cougar (P. concolor) specimen from the northwestern region of Paraná State, Brazil.Case: The carcass of a free-living cougar (P. concolor) individual was sent to the Interdisciplinary Science Museum (Museu Interdisciplinar de Ciências – MIC) of Paranaense University (Universidade Paranaense - UNIPAR); an individual was killed during a collision with an unidentified vehicle on highway PR-486, in the municipality of Mariluz (PR, Brazil). The geographical coordinates of the location where the animal was found are: 23°59′29″S, 53°8′47″W. This region is characterized by semi-deciduous seasonal forest remnants. After being identified on site and collected by the inspectors of the Paraná Environmental Institute (Instituto Ambiental do Paraná - IAP), the cadaver was donated to the MIC (by the IAP) for a necropsy to elucidate the cause of death. In this context, the cadaver was sent to the Animal Pathology section of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at UNIPAR. The animal was necropsied by performing the standard necropsy technique for carnivores: opening the intestine through the mesentery and exposing the mucosa from the duodenum to the colon. The necropsy showed that the cause of death was hypovolemic shock due to trauma. During necropsy, parasites in the intestinal lumen were visible to the naked eye. Parasites and feces were collected and stored in sterile flasks containing 10% formaldehyde and saline. The parasites were subjected to Faust and Hoffman techniques, micrometry, and morphological analysis, resulting in the identification of the roundworm Toxocara cati and the tapeworm Spirometra decipiens.Discussion: Identifying the roadkill species along highways is of paramount importance, since they are living very close to man and, consequently, reservoirs and disseminators of different infectious and parasitic zoonoses may be possible. Infection by protozoa and helminths in animals usually occurs by ingesting the infective form present in food or water. Toxocara cati and the tapeworm Spirometra decipiens were only reported in captivity before. Research on parasites in free-living wild animals is not common in the scientific literature and this is due to the difficulty of capturing this animal category as they live in difficult to access places such as forests and forests, therefore, research projects in partnership with museums are extremely important for the recognition of wild animal species that circulate in the region, in addition to the parasitic identification of these animals for future sanitary measures and for the preservation of the animal species in the environment. The Parasitological studies of wild animals are highly relevant for expanding this knowledge, especially considering the possible transfer risk of specific parasitic diseases to other animals, as well as to humans

CONHECIMENTOS, ATITUDES E PRÁTICA DE HOMENS SOBRE INFECÇÕES SEXUALMENTE TRANSMISSÍVEIS

Objectives: to analyze men’s knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding sexually transmitted infections and condom use. Method: a descriptive, transversal study with a quantitative approach, with truck drivers in the city of Itabaiana, in the Brazilian State of Sergipe. Data collection took place between January and March 2017, with 75 truck drivers. After data collection, the interviews were transcribed, analyzed and classified in terms of the truck drivers’ knowledge, attitudes and practice. Results: of the truck drivers, 74 (98.6%) possessed adequate knowledge regarding the infections; however, it was possible to identify that their attitudes and practices were not adequate – mainly in regard to sexual behavior and previous infection with sexually transmitted infections. Conclusion: effective interventions, supported by situational strategic planning, must be encouraged for the population studied in different regions of Brazil. This would reduce chains of transmission of the diseases and promote health.Objetivos: analizar conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de hombres acerca de las infecciones sexualmente transmisibles y el uso del preservativo. Método: estudio descriptivo, transversal de abordaje cuantitativo con camioneros del municipio de Itabaiana, Sergipe. La obtención de datos ocurrió entre enero y marzo de 2017 con 75 camioneros. Después de la obtención de datos, se transcribieron las entrevistas, y fueron analizadas y clasificadas por el conocimiento, actitud y práctica de los camioneros. Resultados: de los camioneros, 74 (98,6%) presentaban conocimiento apropiado acerca de las infecciones, sin embargo fue posible identificar que las actitudes y las prácticas no eran adecuadas, principalmente con relación al comportamiento sexual y a los antecedentes de infecciones sexualmente transmisibles. Conclusión: intervenciones efectivas, subsidiadas por planeamiento estratégico situacional deben ser estimuladas para la población estudiada en diferentes regiones brasileñas.

Bentonites Modified with Phosphomolybdic Heteropolyacid (HPMo) for Biowaste to Biofuel Production

Two bentonites from Paraíba (Northeastern Brazil) were impregnated with heteropoly phosphomolybdic H3PMo12O40 (HPMo). The materials produced were characterized by various techniques such as N2 adsorption-desorption (specific surface area, SSA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with Dispersive Energy X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), acid-base titration analysis. The catalytic activity of these materials was tested in the esterification of a waste from palm oil deodorization and the main results obtained (about 93.3% of conversion) indicated that these materials have potential to act as heterogeneous solid acid catalysts. The prepared materials exhibited satisfactory catalytic performance even after a very simple recycling process in three reuse cycles, without significant loss of their activities

Professoras transexuais e travestis no contexto escolar: entre estabelecidos e outsiders

Neste artigo debatemos questões envolvidas na emergência de professoras transexuais femininas ou travestis na escola. Utilizamos a noção de outsiders e de heteronormatividade para analisar como essas professoras permanecem na função docente. Consideramos que a emergência dessas professoras está relacionada a novos posicionamentos referentes às noções de gênero nas políticas de direitos humanos, especificamente pelas lutas do movimento social. Por fim, afirmamos que a emergência dessas professoras não pode ser compreendida como suspensão da heteronormatividade, mas como o aparecimento de novas questões para se analisar no ambiente escolar
