Midnight Reflections about our own Northern Ventriloquist\u27s Skills

“Midnight Reflections about our own Northern Ventriloquist\u27s Skills” is articulated in the form of a podcast in a conversational style scripted by longtime collaborators composer and performer. It starts by cartographing the authors’ previous collaborative works until they approach their last project ensemble, Campo Amniótico [CA] (2021), work in which the feedback or Larsen plays a paramount role, making the artwork highly unstable and elusive. As a result, performers and composer are in constant trouble, stripped of their cognitive performativity by the once enhancer technology, that in CA becomes almost a threat. That’s when the podcast starts to interact with recorded extracts of philosophers Rosi Braidotti and Achille Mbembe, and psychologist Thirusha Naidu on issues concerning posthumanism, postcolonialism and technological escalation. By applying and discussing their theories in the field of artistic research and, more specifically, in that of contemporary music, the authors will situate CA as a post-human artwork that aims to tip the balance more towards subversion than the status quo. That is following Eve Sedwick\u27s precept, when she said twenty years ago with some disillusionment that the result of a work is usually always the same: a little subversive, a little hegemonic

Influência da incorporação de dados de progênies na classificação de touros da raça Nelore Effect of progeny data on the ranking of Nellore bulls

No Programa de Melhoramento Genético da Raça Nelore (PMGRN) o índice Mérito Genético Total (MGT) reúne em uma única informação as diferentes predições do valor genético de cinco características. O índice considera as diferenças esperadas na progênie (DEP) para efeito materno sobre o peso aos 120 dias de idade; efeito direto do peso aos 120, 365 e 450 dias de idade; e efeito direto do perímetro escrotal aos 365 e 450 dias de idade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar e descrever a mudança que ocorre no MGT de touros ao incorporar informações provenientes de seus descendentes. Em 29.769 observações, foram selecionados 12 touros que geraram três arquivos contendo informações do animal, do animal mais as da sua progênie e do animal mais as da sua progênie e de seus netos. Realizaram-se análises unicaráter utilizando-se o software MTDFREML (Multiple Trait Derivative Free Restricted Maximum Likelikood). O modelo para as características de peso até um ano de idade considerou, como fixos, os efeitos de grupos de contemporâneos e classe de idade da vaca ao parto e, como aleatórios, os efeitos genéticos direto, materno e de ambiente permanente da vaca. Para as características de perímetro escrotal e de peso após um ano de idade, empregaram-se os mesmos efeitos fixos e, como aleatório, o efeito genético direto. Quando se incorporaram as informações das progênies, as mudanças na classificação foram, no máximo, de duas posições. Quando as informações dos netos foram adicionadas, as posições dos touros na classificação permaneceram inalteradas.<br>In the Nellore Breed Genetic Improvement Program (PMGRN) the breeding value predictions of five different traits are put together in a single number named Total Genetic Merit (MGT). This number is calculated from the Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) of: weight at 120 days of age - maternal; weight at 120, 365 and 450 days of age direct; and scrotal circumference at 365 and 450 days of age direct. The aim of this study was to identify and to describe the change in the MGT of bulls when information on their progenies are used. Twelve sires were selected, from a total database of 29,759 records, generating three files containing: individual performance; individual performance plus progeny performance; and individual performance plus progeny and grandprogeny performance. Single analyses were performed for all traits utilizing MTDFREML software (Multiple Traits Derivative Free Restricted Maximum Likelihood). The fixed effects (contemporary groups and cow age at calving) and the random effects (direct, maternal and permanent environmental) were included in the model for growth traits up to one year of age. The same fixed effects were included in the model for scrotal circumference traits and for body weight taken after one year of age and the direct effects as random effects. When the offspring data were added, ranking changes were achieved between classes at most in two positions. When grandprogerny were added, no changes were found

Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism in the kappa-casein gene related to weight expected progeny difference in Nellore cattle

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) has been detected at the bovine kappa-casein locus. The polymorphism has been analyzed for its effects in cattle production, mostly for milk traits and even for maternal effect on pre-weaning weights. We used polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to genotype 408 Nellore animals for the non-silent mutation (Thr/Ile136 and Asp/Ala148) that characterizes the A and B variants of the polymorphism and compared expected progeny difference (EPD) for a maternal effect on 120 and 210 days weights and direct EPD for 120, 210, 450 and 550 day weight between AA and AB animals. The EPD values were obtained from the University of São Paulo (Brazil) Nellore Cattle Breeding Program, which evaluated 266,272 animals in 2001. Analysis of Variance was used to compare weight expected progeny differences (EPDs) between animals genotyped as AA and AB. The A allele frequency was 0.911. Although the AA animals had higher weight EPDs than AB animals the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05)

Mitochondrial DNA single nucleotide polymorphism associated with weight estimated breeding values in Nelore cattle (Bos indicus)

We sampled 119 Nelore cattle (Bos indicus), 69 harboring B. indicus mtDNA plus 50 carrying Bos taurus mtDNA, to estimate the frequencies of putative mtDNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and investigate their association with Nelore weight and scrotal circumference estimated breeding values (EBVs). The PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to detect polymorphisms in the mitochondrial asparagine, cysteine, glycine, leucine and proline transporter RNA (tRNA) genes (tRNAasn, tRNAcys, tRNAgly, tRNAleu and tRNApro). The 50 cattle carrying B. taurus mtDNA were monomorphic for all the tRNA gene SNPs analyzed, suggesting that they are specific to mtDNA from B. indicus cattle. No tRNAcys or tRNAgly polymorphisms were detected in any of the cattle but we did detect polymorphic SNPs in the tRNAasn, tRNAleu and tRNApro genes in the cattle harboring B. indicus mtDNA, with the same allele observed in the B. taurus sequence being present in the following percentage of cattle harboring B. indicus mtDNA: 72.46% for tRNAasn, 95.23% for tRNAleu and 90.62% for tRNApro. Analyses of variance using the tRNAasn SNP as the independent variable and EBVs as the dependent variable showed that the G -> T SNP was significantly associated (p < 0.05) with maternal EBVs for weight at 120 and 210 days (p < 0.05) and animal's EBVs for weight at 210, 365 and 455 days. There was no association of the tRNAasn SNP with the scrotal circumference EBVs. These results confirm that mtDNA can affect weight and that mtDNA polymorphisms can be a source of genetic variation for quantitative traits

Serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and the risk of fractures in the teriparatide versus risedronate VERO clinical trial

PurposeUsing data from the 2-year, randomized, double-dummy VERO trial, we examined the changes in 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations over time, and whether the fracture risk reduction of teriparatide versus risedronate varies by baseline 25(OH)D sufficiency category.MethodsPostmenopausal women with established osteoporosis received subcutaneous daily teriparatide 20g or oral weekly risedronate 35mg, with concomitant 500-1000mg of elemental calcium and 400-800IU/day of vitamin D supplements. Fracture endpoints were analyzed by predefined subgroups of 25(OH)D insufficient and sufficient patients. Heterogeneity of the treatment effect on fractures was investigated by logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression models.ResultsAt baseline, mean serum 25(OH)D was 31.9ng/mL in the teriparatide group and 31.5ng/mL in the risedronate group, and 16.8% and 17.9% of patients, respectively, were 25(OH)D insufficient. At month 6, the mean serum 25(OH)D concentration decreased in teriparatide-treated patients to 24.5ng/mL (by approximately 23%) but remained relatively constant in risedronate-treated patients (32.2ng/mL) (p0.1) treatment-by-25(OH)D interactions in all fracture analyses.ConclusionsSerum 25(OH)D concentration decreases during teriparatide treatment. Fracture risk reduction with teriparatide versus risedronate did not significantly differ between the two groups of patients defined by baseline 25(OH)D.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01709110EudraCT Number: 2012-000123-4
