O núcleo de documentação histórica da UFPel: um espaço de ensino

Neste artigo se propõe a analisar o trabalho desenvolvido no Núcleo de Documentação Histórica (NDH) - UFPel, focando a sua contribuição para o ensino de História a partir de suas produções científicas. O texto foi construído com a ideia de que ensino, pesquisa e extensão se complementam e nestes três pilares atua o NDH desde o ano de 1990. Seus projetos geram fontes que, após a organização, vão sendo gradualmente disponibilizadas para pesquisas da comunidade em geral; exemplo disso são os inúmeros trabalhos utilizando o acervo da Justiça do Trabalho, o qual também serve de prova do exercício de funções para alguns trabalhadores que procuram os processos trabalhistas. Partindo dessa perspectiva, o NDH é um espaço de ensino, colaborando, portanto, para o aprendizado dos alunos da Licenciatura e do Bacharelado e para a produção de uma História, não só regional como nacional. Constitui-se, também, como um lugar de memória, que agrega acervos sobre a Universidade, movimentos sociais, Justiça do Trabalho de Pelotas (1940 – 1995) e Delegacia Regional do Trabalho- RS (1933 – 1968)

The Horror Within: An Analysis of Psychological Horror Films’ Representation of Trauma Through Focalisation

The purpose of this study was to explore the way the unique characteristics of psychological horror films could apply the concept of focalisation to represent the experience of trauma. To achieve this a comparative analysis of a specific scene or sequence from 3 psychological horror films was done using focalisation narrative theory and filmic language theory as frameworks. The films, The Haunting [1963], Jacob’s Ladder [1990] and The Babadook [2014] are all recognised by their contributions to the characterisation of modern horror and psychological horror. However, they also all deal in the topic of trauma and as typical of psychological horror, make use of point-of-view based storytelling. The analysis found that the films all use filmic language such as audiovisual hallucinations, mood lighting, suspenseful music versus silence, and disorienting proximate or direct inside view-based photography and editing to convey horror through the focaliser characters’ perspectives. As a result, they created a simulation of the way these characters experienced their traumas from conception to consequences. There is a clear intent behind using the surrealistic offline perception of horror (meaning a subjective interpretation of the world) as a way to achieve higher immersion and audience engagement, as well as passive identification with the focaliser characters

Crop-Specific Effects on Pan-Trap Sampling of Potential Pollinators as Influenced by Trap Color and Location

Characterizing insect communities in pollinator-dependent crops helps determine the potential pollinator effectiveness and their effects on crop yield. Few studies have examined pollinator communities and their services to crops in South America. Furthermore, optimal sampling methods for these communities in the crop habitat have received little attention. Pan traps are one of the simplest and most widely used sampling methods to assess insect diversity. We compared different pan trap arrangements to describe potential pollinator communities in two commercial crops (blueberry and canola) in Southern Chile. We compared communities in the crops and assessed how sampling position (border or center) and pan trap color (blue, white, or yellow) affected sample composition. Species composition was significantly different between crops. Furthermore, trap color affected sample composition in blueberry, but trap position did not, whereas color had no significant effect on canola, but trap position did. In all cases, yellow pans captured the largest number of species. Hymenoptera explained most of the differences in sampling efficiency because of the differential responses across species. We suggest that pan trap assessments of the diversity in potential pollinator insects depend on crop characteristics, including planting configuration and floral morphology. Therefore, comparative studies should include pans of different colors positioned at various locations within the crop

Determination of carcinoembryonic antigen levels in peripheral and draining venous blood in patients with colorectal carcinoma Determinação dos níveis do antígeno carcinoembriônico no sangue periférico e no efluente venoso em doentes com carcinoma colorretal

BACKGROUND: The problem of the relationship between blood carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and tissue CEA content in colorectal carcinoma, and the mechanisms for CEA release from tumor cells in tissue adjacent to the neoplasm is important to understanding the biology of colorectal carcinoma. It has not been adequately explained whether CEA in the peripheral blood is drained mainly by portal system blood or by the lymphatic system, or indeed by both systems. AIM: To study the behavior of CEA levels in peripheral blood (CEA-p) and venous effluent blood (CEA-d) among patients with colorectal tumors, who underwent curative operation. METHOD: A total of 28 patients were studied (12 male [42.9%] and 16 female [57.1%], mean age 66.1 years [range: 43 - 84]). Immediately after laparotomy, peripheral venous blood was extracted by antecubital venous puncture and venous effluent blood was collected from the main drainage vein of the lesions. Values of CEA-p, CEA-d and the gradient between CEA-d and CEA-p that were less than 5.0 ng/mL were considered normal. RESULTS: Eight (28.6%) patients were stage A in Duke's classification, nine (32.1%) stage B and 11 (39.3%) stage C. The neoplasm was located in the rectum of 14 patients (50.0%), in the transverse colon in five (17.9%), in the sigmoid in four (14.3%), in the cecum and/or ascending colon in three (10.7%), and in the descending colon in two (7.1%). The histopathological examination revealed well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in all the patients. Only one patient (3.6%), Duke's classification stage C, presented neoplasm with venous invasion. The gradient between the CEA-p and CEA-d levels were normal in 25 patients (88.3%) and high in three (10.7%). The mean value for CEA-p was 3.8 ± 4.1 ng/mL (0.1-21.1 ng/mL) and for the drained CEA (CEA-d) it was 4.5 ± 4.3 ng/mL (0.3-20.2 ng/mL), without significant difference between these values. There was a significant difference between the mean value for CEA-p and CEA-d levels greater than 5 ng/mL. CONCLUSION: The CEA-p and CEA-d levels in the colorectal carcinoma patients were not shown to be different. The results from this study suggest that, in colorectal neoplasm without venous invasion, there may not be notable CEA drainage from the tumor by the portal vein effluent blood.<br>RACIONAL: O problema da relação entre os níveis de CEA no sangue e o conteúdo de CEA tissular no carcinoma colorretal e os mecanismos de liberação do CEA das células neoplásicas nos tecidos vizinhos à neoplasia e sua conseqüente entrada dentro do sangue periférico são importantes para o entendimento da biologia do carcinoma colorretal. Ainda não foi convenientemente elucidado se o CEA no sangue é drenado principalmente pelo sangue do sistema portal ou pelos linfáticos para o ducto torácico ou, ainda, por ambos os sistemas. OBJETIVO: Estudar o comportamento dos níveis do CEA no sangue periférico (CEA-p) e no sangue do efluente venoso (CEA-d) de doentes com tumores colorretais operados curativamente. MÉTODO: foram estudados 28 doentes, sendo 12 (42,9%) homens e 16 (57,1%) mulheres. A média de idade foi de 66,1 anos (43 a 84 anos). Imediatamente após a laparotomia, o sangue venoso periférico foi extraído por punção venosa antecubital e o sangue do efluente venoso coletado da veia principal de drenagem das lesões. Os valores de CEA-p, CEA-d e do gradiente entre o CEA-d e CEA-p abaixo de 5,0 ng/mL foram considerados normais. RESULTADOS: Oito (28,6%) doentes foram classificados no estádio A de Dukes, 9 (32,1%) no estádio B e 11 (39,3%) no estádio C. A neoplasia estava localizada no reto em 14 (50,0%), no cólon transverso em 5 (17,9%), no cólon sigmóide em 4 (14,3%), no ceco e/ou cólon ascendente em 3 (10,7%), e no cólon descendente em 2 (7,1%) enfermos. O exame histopatológico revelou adenocarcinoma bem diferenciado em todos os enfermos. Em apenas um (3,6%) doente a neoplasia, estadiada como Dukes C, exibia invasão venosa. O gradiente entre os níveis de CEA-p e de CEA-d estava normal em 25 (89,3%) doentes e elevado em 3 (10,7%). O valor médio do CEA-p foi de 3,8 ± 4,1 ng/mL (0,1 a 21,1 ng/mL) e do CEA-d foi de 4,5 ± 4,3 ng/mL (0,3 a 20,2 ng/mL), sem diferença significativa entre esses valores. Houve diferença significativa entre a média dos valores dos níveis do CEA-p e do CEA-d maiores que 5 ng/mL. CONCLUSÃO: Os níveis de CEA-p e do CEA-d nos doentes com carcinoma colorretal não se mostraram diferentes. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que, nas neoplasias colorretais sem invasão venosa, o CEA não é drenado expressivamente pelo sangue do efluente venoso portal do tumor

Soberanía alimentaria: prácticas y saberes locales para un movimiento global contrahegemónico

En todo el mundo, el sistema agroalimentario neoliberal, una de las caras más exitosas de la globalización hegemónica capitalista, está siendo enfrentado por procesos de resistencia que cuestionan la relación colonial de explotación y dominación persistente hasta los días de hoy en las formas de producir y de vivir. Estos procesos, al mismo tiempo, forjan alternativas alimentarias y culturales para responder a las crisis ambientales, sociales y económicas actuales. La soberanía alimentaria es una expresión de estas alternativas. Este libro presenta contribuciones que dialogan de forma plural e interdisciplinar con la temática de la soberanía alimentaria, a través de la mirada de autoras y autores cuya trayectoria desdibuja la separación entre academia y activismo. Los diferentes textos tienen en común un posicionamiento epistemológico basado en la ecología de saberes y en las epistemologías del sur. Al reunir experiencias provenientes de diferentes países del Sur Global (Angola, Brasil, Colombia, México y Mozambique), el propósito del libro es ampliar el espacio de diálogo y buscar el interreconocimiento entre saberes y prácticas pautados por una racionalidad contrahegemónica, con los cuales contribuir a la construcción de sistemas agroalimentarios más justos y saludables.Bogot

Neotropical freshwater fisheries : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change. There are no copyright restrictions on the data, and please cite this data paper when using the data in publications

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
