Ultrastructure of endogenous stages of Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae Yakimoff & Rastegaieff, 1930 Emend. Levine, 1961 in experimentally infected goat.

Abstract: The ultrastructure of endogenous stages of Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae was observed in epithelial cells of cecum and colon crypts from a goat experimentally infected with 2.0 x 10(5) oocysts/kg. The secondary meronts developed above the nucleus of the host cell. The nucleus first divides and merozoites then form on the surface of multinucleated meronts. Free merozoites in the parasitophorous vacuole present a conoid, double membrane, one pair of rhoptries, micronemes, micropore, anterior and posterior polar ring, a nucleus with a nucleolus and peripheral chromatin. The microgamonts are located below the nucleus of the host cell and contain several nuclei at the periphery of the parasite. The microgametes consist of a body, a nucleus, three flagella and mitochondria. The macrogamonts develop below the nucleus of the host cell and have a large nucleus with a prominent nucleolus. The macrogametes contain a nucleus, wall-forming bodies of type I and type II. The young oocysts present a wall containing two layers and a sporont

Perfil dos produtores rurais do Rio Pardo de Minas: estudo de caso nas comunidades Monte Alegre, Vereda Funda e Água Boa (I e II).

Resumo - O estudo objetiva traçar o perfil técnico-econômico, social, ambiental e institucional dos produtores rurais de três comunidades do município de Rio Pardo de Minas (Vereda Funda; Água Boa I e II e Monte Alegre), sendo um esforço inicial na busca por compreender as necessidades, demandas e aspirações da agricultura familiar local. O levantamento é resultado de dados primários coletados por meio de visitas exploratórias e da aplicação de 92 questionários semiestruturados. Um resultado interessante foi perceber que os produtores rurais, embora com baixos níveis de produtividade, escolaridade e de capacitação técnica, têm consciência da necessidade da preservação ambiental, dos seus fatores críticos e dos gargalos estruturais que determinam o fraco nível de desenvolvimento econômico local. O estudo permitiu concluir que algumas soluções tecnológicas simples e intervenções públicas plausíveis poderiam gerar benefícios imediatos para as comunidades, tais como: melhorar os sistemas de produção e práticas de manejo; aumentar a qualidade da mão de obra por meio de capacitação e assistência técnica; direcionar mais crédito rural para investimento em cisternas, poços artesianos, sistemas de irrigação, insumos agropecuários (como máquinas e equipamentos, adubos e fertilizantes, defensivos agrícolas), dentre outros. Abstract - The study aims to trace the technical, economic, social, environmental and institutional profile of farmers in three communities of Rio Pardo de Minas (Vereda Funda, Água Boa I and II and Monte Alegre), being an initial effort in the search for understanding the needs, demands and aspirations of the local family farmers. The survey is the result of primary data collected through exploratory visits and application of 92 semi-structured questionnaires. An interesting result was to realize that farmers, albeit with low levels of productivity, education and technical training, are very aware of the environmental preservation´s need and the critical structural factors that determine the low level of local economic development. The study concluded that some simple technological solutions and plausible public interventions could bring immediate benefits to the three communities farmers, such as improving production systems and management practices; increase the quality of labor force through training and technical assistance; direct more rural credit for investment in water tanks, wells, irrigation systems, agricultural inputs (such as machinery and equipment, fertilizers, pesticides), among others

Determining Factors of the Level of Disclosure of Information on Business Combinations with the Entry into Force of the Accounting Standard CPC 15

This paper aimed to investigate information disclosure on business combination transactions that took place in Brazil in 2010, when the Accounting Standard CPC 15 entered into force, and evaluate which were the determining factors of the level of disclosure of information related to it. To evaluate the disclosure level, a disclosure index of business combinations (INDCOMB) was prepared, having the disclosure index developed by Shalev (2009) as a basis. We evaluated, in the light of the literature on disclosure and business combinations, whether the following factors influenced on the disclosure level: acquiring company size, recognized percentage of overprice for expected future profitability in relation to the transaction value, dispersion of capital of the acquiring company, audit firm size, and participation of the acquiring company in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) programs. The control variables used were listing of the acquiring company in the various segments of BM&FBOVESPA, operation sector, origin (state, private company with national capital or private company with foreign capital), and relative acquired company size in relation to the acquiring company. We analyzed business combination transactions that took place in 2010, reported by 40 open capital companies involved in 76 transactions. We conclude that the audit firm size and the relative acquired company size were factors that influenced on the level of disclosure of information regarding business combinations in 2010. The other factors showed no conclusive results

ARIA 2016: Care pathways implementing emerging technologies for predictive medicine in rhinitis and asthma across the life cycle

Abstract The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative commenced during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999. The initial goals were (1) to propose a new allergic rhinitis classification, (2) to promote the concept of multi-morbidity in asthma and rhinitis and (3) to develop guidelines with all stakeholders that could be used globally for all countries and populations. ARIA—disseminated and implemented in over 70 countries globally—is now focusing on the implementation of emerging technologies for individualized and predictive medicine. MASK [MACVIA (Contre les Maladies Chroniques pour un Vieillissement Actif)-ARIA Sentinel NetworK] uses mobile technology to develop care pathways for the management of rhinitis and asthma by a multi-disciplinary group and by patients themselves. An app (Android and iOS) is available in 20 countries and 15 languages. It uses a visual analogue scale to assess symptom control and work productivity as well as a clinical decision support system. It is associated with an inter-operable tablet for physicians and other health care professionals. The scaling up strategy uses the recommendations of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing. The aim of the novel ARIA approach is to provide an active and healthy life to rhinitis sufferers, whatever their age, sex or socio-economic status, in order to reduce health and social inequalities incurred by the disease
