    Cuidados de Enfermagem Veterinária a uma cria de doninha (Mustela nivalis) em Centro de Recuperação de Animais Selvagens

    A doninha (Mustela nivalis) é um pequeno carnívoro, de espécie autóctone e protegida1, cuja entrada em Centros de Recuperação de Animais Selvagens não é frequente. Desta forma, torna-se pertinente a descrição dos cuidados de enfermagem veterinária aplicados na recuperação de uma cria desta espécie, que deu entrada no CERAS – Centro de Estudos e Recuperação de Animais Selvagens – com cerca de 10 dias de idade e 20 gramas de peso. O acompanhamento do desenvolvimento da cria é um dos papéis a desempenhar pelo Enfermeiro Veterinário, sobretudo ao nível da alimentação (desde as refeições com leite de substituição, o desmame, a introdução gradual de novos alimentos e o treino de caça), higiene e desenvolvimento comportamental (prevenção de imprinting e estímulo sociocognitivo). A monitorização do crescimento da cria foi feita através de ferramentas como controlo do peso e da temperatura corporal, exame visual e exame coprológico. A evolução do peso corporal foi positiva, com um ganho médio diário de 1,21g e um peso final de 95g. O exame coprológico detetou a presença de oocistos de Eimeria spp. (1800 opg), ovos (1150 Opg) e formas larvares (50 Lpg) de Strongyloides spp. Uma das maiores exigências na prestação destes cuidados foi corresponder às elevadas necessidades energéticas características desta espécie2. Ainda assim, a recuperação foi bem-sucedida e culminou com a libertação da doninha, fisicamente saudável e exibindo os comportamentos naturais da espécie, apenas 2 meses após a entrada no CERAS.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    From sulphur to perfume: spa and SPA at Monchique, Algarve

    In the thermal village of Monchique, Algarve, different streams of water-related knowledge and practices coexisted for centuries. Those waters were traditionally known as águas santas (holy waters) and believed to have redemptive healing powers. In the seventeenth century, the Catholic church took control of the place, refashioned the bathing rituals, developed infrastructures and provided assistance to the patients, granting free treatment to the poor. In the nineteenth century, the state replaced the church and imposed that treatments should be provided by professionals trained in the scientific principles of medical hydrology. Secular and scientific as they were, clinical logbooks still allowed for the account of patients that embodied miracle-like redemptive cures ‘at the third bath’. People went to Monchique both for its magic and its medicine, bringing in the body ailments achieved in their lives of hard labour. They also went there for a socialising break while healing. From mendicants to rich landowners, coming mostly from the Algarve and neighbouring Alentejo, they crowded the place in summertime. In the twentieth century, as in other places in continental Europe, the spa evolved into a highly medicalised place that qualified for medical expenses reimbursements, which implied the eclipsing – at least from representation – of its leisure component. In the twenty-first century, a new trend of consumer-centred, market-based, post-water balneology with an emphasis on wellness and leisure reinvented the spa as place for lush and diversified consumption. This article argues that the seemingly contradictory systems (markets and medicine) coexist much in the same way that magic, religion and medicine coexisted in the old water sites. The new SPAs, rather than putting an end to the old spas, have enabled them to survive by reinventing thermal sites as places of attraction and leisure

    The dependence of the anomalous J/psi suppression on the number of participant nucleons

    The observation of an anomalous J/psi suppression in Pb-Pb collisions by the NA50 Collaboration can be considered as the most striking indication for the deconfinement of quarks and gluons at SPS energies. In this Letter, we determine the J/psi suppression pattern as a function of the forward hadronic energy E-ZDC measured in a Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC). The direct connection between EZDC and the geometry of the collision allows us to calculate, within a Glauber approach, the precise relation between the number of participant nucleons N-part and E-ZDC. Then, we check if the experimental data can be better explained by a sudden or a smooth onset of the anomalous J/psi suppression as a function of the number of participants.

    Centrality Behaviour of J/ψ\psi Production in Na50

    Full text link
    The J/ψ\psi production in 158 A GeV Pb-Pb interactions is studied, in the dimuon decay channel, as a function of centrality, as measured with the electromagnetic or with the very forward calorimeters. After a first sharp variation at mid centrality, both patterns continue to fall down and exhibit a curvature change at high centrality values. This trend excludes any conventional hadronic model and is in agreement with a deconfined quark-gluon phase scenario. We report also preliminary results on the measured charged multiplicity, as given by a dedicated detector.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figures (in eps) talk given at XXXI International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics, Sep. 1-7, 2001, Datong China URL http://ismd31.ccnu.edu.cn
