Loss of genetic variation in a strongly isolated Azorean population of the edible calm, <i>Tapes decussatus</i>

We used allozyme electrophoresis to compare the genetic variation of an introduced and strongly isolated population of the edible clam Tapes decussatus in the Azores (Lagoa de Santo Cristo, Sao Jorge) with populations from the main range of the species (Ria and Thau). Observed and expected heterozygosity values, number of polymorphic loci, and mean number of alleles per locus in the main-range populations fall within the limits reported for T. decussatus and other Venerid clams. In contrast to previous studies on Venerid clams, we observed no heterozygote deficiencies. In the introduced Lagoa population, we observed a strong reduction of allelic diversity and expected heterozygosities and an effective population size of only 5.30. The Lagoa population is only slightly differentiated from populations from the species' main range and may thus be of low "biological value." Exploitation of T. decussatus could therefore be allowed to continue but must follow strict collection guidelines, especially given that only 15% of the area is suitable for exploitation. Otherwise, a unique component of the Azorean fauna that also serves as a fishery resource may be lost

O abandono da consulta de enfermagem: uma análise compreensiva do fenômeno

Esse estudo teve como objetivo compreender o abandono da consulta de enfermagem direcionada à criança de 0 a 2 anos de idade. Para isto, utilizei-me de uma abordagem fenomenológica, porque. através dessa metodologia, eu estaria apreendendo a essência do fenômeno, tentando compreendê-la, sem me prender aos motivos que o determinaram. Foram colhidos 12 depoimentos, e neles as mães descreveram a experiência vivenciada por elas na consulta de enfermagem, permitindo que o fenômeno se mostrasse em sua essencialidade.The purpose of this study was to understand the abandonment of nursing onsultation focused on children 0 to 2 years old. A phenomenological approach was used to make apprehension of the essence of the phenomenon and to try to understand it without becoming attached to its determinant causes. Interviews were done with 12 mothers to describe their experiences on nursing consultation and, therefore, making possible to see the essence of the phenomenon
