The Advertisement Calls and Distribution of Two Sympatric Species of Chiasmocleis (Méhely 1904) (Anura, Microhylidae, Gastrophryninae) from the Atlantic Forest

The advertisement calls of Chiasmocleis cordeiroi and C. crucis are described for populations from the municipalities of Igrapiúna and Camacan, respectively, state of Bahia, Brazil. Both calls consist of multipulsed notes produced in series. Differences between the two calls are: dominant frequency, higher in C. cordeiroi (range 4500–4898 Hz; C. crucis range 4069–4435 Hz); note rate, higher in C. cordeiroi (range 6.20–7.46 s/note; C. crucis range 5.17–5.59 s/note); pulse rate, higher in C. cordeiroi (151.82–194.83 s/note; C. crucis range 125.30– 142.12 s/note); and the structure of the modulation patterns of the notes. Moreover, the advertisement calls of C. crucis and C. cordeiroi are more similar than the calls of all syntopic congeners. Furthermore, the current distribution of both species was extended

We hypothe-sized that ambient UV intensity can generate acclimations in plant growth, leaf morphology, and photochemical functioning in modern genotypes of Coffea arabica and C. canephora. Coffee plants were cultivated for ca. six months in a mini greenhouse under either near ambient (UVam) or reduced (UVre) ultraviolet regimes. At the plant scale, C. canephora was substantially more impacted by UVam when compared to C. arabica, investing more carbon in all juvenile plant components than under UVre. When subjected to UVam, both species showed anatomic adjustments at the leaf scale, such as increases in stomatal density in C. canephora, at the abaxial and adaxial cuticles in both species, and abaxial epidermal thickening in C. arabica, although without apparent impact on the thickness of palisade and spongy parenchyma. Surprisingly, C. arabica showed more efficient energy dissipation mechanism under UVam than C. canephora. UVam promoted elevated protective carotenoid content and a greater use of energy through photochemistry in both species, as reflected in the photochemical quenching increases. This was associated with an altered chlorophyll a/b ratio (significantly only in C. arabica) that likely promoted a greater capability to light energy capture. Therefore, UV levels promoted different modifications between the two Coffea sp. regarding plant biomass production and leaf morphology, including a few photochemical differences between species, suggesting that modifications at plant and leaf scale acted as an acclimation response to actual UV intensity.publishersversionpublishe

“EM BRIGA DE MARIDO E MULHER, NÃO SE METE A COLHER?”: ANÁLISE DA VIOLÊNCIA BASEADO NO GÊNERO E O PAPEL DO SETOR SAÚDE

Este trabalho objetivou fazer uma reflexão acerca da violência baseada no gênero, suas implicações na vida das vítimas e o papel do setor saúde no manejo dos casos. Trata-se de uma abordagem reflexiva da literatura, que incluiu artigos de periódicos eletrônicos, publicados nos anos de 2006 a 2012, estes estavam indexados na LILACS, Scielo, MEDLINE, e disponíveis na íntegra. Também foram consultados livros-textos de especialistas da área das ciências criminais. Os atos cometidos contra as mulheres podem ser classificados como crime passional, aquele movido pela paixão, e sentimentos, muitas vezes, exacerbados e incontroláveis, desencadeiam atos violentos, entre eles o ódio e ciúmes. Nota-se que a mulher que sofre tal agressão evita denunciar e se isola dos sistemas de apoio, o que a torna ainda mais dependente do seu agressor, surgindo com maior frequência o sentimento de temor que paralisa e impede a mulher de buscar ajuda. O setor saúde, por ter como objetivo a promoção da autonomia das mulheres, estimulando-as a responsabilizar-se por seus próprios cuidados e assumindo seus direitos e responsabilidades, tem papel importante no acolhimento das mesmas. É de fundamental importância que os profissionais desses setores acolham, deem continuidade ao trabalho educativo de estimular a mulher a exercer a sua autonomia
