INFORMAÇÕES RELATIVAS AOS BENS CULTURAIS ACAUTELADOS PELO IPHAN E IBRAM: análise e reflexões sob o ponto de vista da gestão da informação

A investigação analisou os dados e informações disponibilizados nos sites do Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional-Iphan e do Instituto Brasileiro de Museus-Ibram, questionando se possibilitam a participação da sociedade no combate ao trafico ilícito de bens culturais. A pesquisa se apoiou em teorias relativas à eficácia da gestão da informação nas organizações. Os dados relativos aos bens culturais desaparecidos foram analisados para detecção de falhas em sua coleta. Comprovou-se a insuficiência de critérios técnicos na apresentação das informações, não propiciando a formulação de ações estratégicas, e impedindo a sociedade de participar de forma ativa no combate ao trafico ilícito de bens culturai

The Interpretation Of The Figure Of The Prophet Jonah By Michelangelo On The Ceiling Of The Sistine Chapel: Anatomical Urological Vision.

A detailed analysis in the iconography and pictorial appearance of the scene of the Prophet Jonah painted by the artist Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel between the years 1508 and 1512. Literature review on the Italian Renaissance period and the life of Michelangelo Buonarroti and analysis of historical aspects of the evolution of studies of human anatomy in this period and the works of the artist. A comparative analysis of the representation of the figure of the fish on the left thigh of Jonah with a cross section of penis shows a curious similarity. The pictorial and iconographic analysis reveals an intensity of light on the pubic area and the position of the prophet with the legs spread apart and left hand placed on this region. A tube-shaped cloth covers the region and the angel at the side seems to be looking at this anatomical region of Jonah. In fact, sets of iconographic and pictorial relate to the deciphered code. This description helps to confirm the relationship of the Renaissance art with the human anatomy; science has been much studied in this period. The design of a cross section of the penis is revealed with the two cavernous bodies with the septum between them and the spongy body. Considering the circumstances in which Michelangelo had painted, subjectivity was fundamental due to religious motivations added to the vigorous implications of a limited scientific knowledge typical of that era.38317-22; discussion 32

In this paper, the potential for a commercial Desal 5 DK nanofiltration membrane to be used as a tertiary treatment in the wastewater treatment plants for a more effective elimination of these pollutants from the produced effluents was assessed on laboratory scale, using a stainless steel cross-flow cell. The obtained results showed high concentrations of total bacteria and target carbapenem and (fluoro)quinolone resistance genes (blaKPC, blaOXA-48, blaNDM, blaIMP, blaVIM, qnrA, qnrB and qnrS) not only in the discharged, but also in the reused, effluent samples, which suggests that their use may not be entirely safe. Nevertheless, the applied nanofiltration treatment achieved removal rates superior to 98% for the total bacteria and 99.99% for all the target resistance genes present in both DNA and extracellular DNA fractions, with no significant differences for these microbiological parameters between the nanofiltered and the control tap water samples. Although additional studies are still needed to fully optimize the entire process, the use of nanofiltration membranes seems to be a promising solution to substantially increase the quality of the treated wastewater effluents.publishersversionpublishe

Morfometria das lâminas epidérmicas primárias e secundárias do casco de equinos

Foi estudado o comprimento das lâminas epidérmicas primárias e secundárias da pinça e dos quartos lateral e medial, distribuídas nos terços proximal, médio e distal dos cascos de equinos. Utilizaram-se os membros de oitos cavalos adultos utilizados para tração de carroças, que não apresentavam afecções podais, sendo quatro fêmeas e quatro machos, sem raça definida. Fragmentos foram retirados das diferentes regiões dos cascos e submetidos à técnica histológica convencional. As amostras foram coradas com H&E e analisadas em microscópio óptico. As lâminas epidérmicas primárias apresentaram-se maiores nos cascos dos membros torácicos em relação aos membros pélvicos nos terços proximal e médio e nas regiões do quarto medial e na pinça. As lâminas secundárias foram maiores também no membro torácico no terço médio e no quarto medial. Comparando-se o comprimento das lâminas epidérmicas entre as regiões do casco, observou-se que as lâminas primárias são menores no terço proximal e maiores na pinça, enquanto as menores lâminas secundárias estão no terço proximal e no quarto medial. Os resultados sugerem que a morfologia das lâminas nas diversas regiões do casco sofra influência do trabalho realizado pelo animal, assim como, das diferentes distribuições de força existentes no mesmo.We studied the length of primary and secondary epidermal laminae of the toe and the lateral and medial quarters of horses, distributed into proximal, middle and distal thirds of the hooves. Eight limbs from adult crossbred horses, four females and four males, used to pull carts without pedal conditions. Fragments were taken from different regions of the hooves and subjected to conventional histological techniques. The samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and analyzed by light microscopy. The primary epidermal laminae were higher in the hooves of forelimbs compared to hindlimbs in the proximal and middle thirds and the regions of the medial quarter and toe. The secondary laminae were higher in forelimb of the middle third and medial quarter. Comparing the length of the epidermal laminae between hoof parts, it was seen that the primary laminae are lower in the proximal third and higher in the toe, while the secondary laminae are lower in the proximal third and medial quarter. The results suggested that the morphology of the laminae in the different regions of the hooves is influenced through the work performed by the animal, as well as through the different distribution of forces

Densidade das lâminas epidérmicas primárias e secundárias nos cascos de equinos

Diferenças na morfologia microscópica dos cascos dos membros pélvicos e torácicos dos equinos têm sido pouco relatadas na literatura, principalmente no tocante a distribuição de lâminas epidérmicas primárias e secundárias nas diversas regiões. O propósito deste estudo foi quantificar a densidade de lâminas epidérmicas primárias e secundárias no casco de equinos. Foram utilizados membros torácicos e pélvicos de oito equinos adultos e sem raça definida. Em uma secção transversal de aproximadamente 0,5cm de altura da sola dos cascos foi quantificada a densidade das lâminas epidérmicas primárias tanto na região da pinça quanto dos quartos lateral e medial. Fragmentos com aproximadamente 1cm³ foram retirados dos terços proximal, médio e distal do casco, nas diferentes regiões e submetidos a técnica histológica convencional, a densidade de lâminas epidérmicas secundárias foi quantificada com auxilio de microscópio óptico. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente em relação aos membros torácicos e pélvicos e entre suas diversas regiões. A densidade de lâminas epidérmicas primárias varia ao redor da circunferência do casco, sendo maior na região da pinça do casco e diminui gradualmente em direção ao bulbo do casco, não existindo diferença entre membros pélvicos e torácicos. A densidade média de lâminas epidérmicas secundárias por lâmina epidérmica primária não varia em torno da circunferência dos cascos, assim como, quando comparada entre os membros torácicos e pélvicos. A variação da densidade das lâminas epidérmicas primárias em torno do casco parece fazer parte de uma resposta adaptativa às diferentes tensões existentes em cada região. O melhor entendimento da morfologia das estruturas do casco contribui na melhor compreensão do diagnóstico, fisiopatologia e tratamento das afecções que as acometem.Differences in the microscopic morphology of the hoof in forelimbs and hindlimbs of horses have been scarcely reported in the literature, especially concerning the distribution of primary and secondary epidermal laminae in the different regions. This study aimed to determine the density of primary and secondary epidermal laminae in the hoof of horses. For this, it was used fore and hindlimbs of 16 adult mixed breed horses. With a cross section 0.5 cm above the sole, it was quantified the primary epidermal laminae in the regions of the toe, and of lateral and medial quarters. Fragments with about 1cm ³ were taken from the proximal, middle and distal thirds of the hooves, in the different regions, subjected to conventional histological techniques and examined with an optical microscope. Data were statistically analyzed in relation to the fore and hindlimbs and between their various regions. The density of primary epidermal laminae varied around the hoof circumference, with greater values in the hoof toe, which gradually decreased towards the bulb of the hoof, without difference between thoracic and pelvic limbs. The average density of the secondary epidermal laminae per primary epidermal lamina does not change around the circumference of the hoof. Our findings indicated that the density of epidermal laminae is not different between fore and hindlimbs. The variation in the density of primary epidermal laminae around the hoof seems to be part of an adaptive response to different stresses in each region. A better understanding of the structural morphology contributes to a better understanding of the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of disorders that affect the hoof

TI Verde: Uma Proposta de Economia Energética usando Virtualização

Information Technology (IT) is one of the main responsable for enviroment troubles. This is a challenge to be overcome by IT Managers to reduce the cust and the maintenance of datacenteres. To promote the user of computer resources on a efficient and less harmfull to enviroment, the Green IT method propose sustainable ways to support a datacenter. One of those ways is the datacenters virtualization, which means that one physical server has virtual ones, working as singles server. It is important to analyze the viability of keep a virtualized datacenter by the analysis of availability of the servers. If the use of virtualization enables a cost reduction, it can also make the system more susceptible to downtime. This work analyzes the availability of two environments, one with a virtualized server and the other with non-virtualized servers. The services offered are e-mail, DNS, Web Server and File Server, a typical scenario in many companies. It is developed a case study using analytical modeling with Fault Tree and Markov Chains. The Fault Tree is used to model the servers and Markov Chains to model the behavior of each component of hardware and software. The non-virtualized environment is composed of four servers, each one providing specific services, while the virtualized consists of a single server with four virtual machines, each one providing a service. By analyzing the models developed, the results show that although the non-virtualized system has less downtime, because has less dependence between the services, the difference in this case is 0.06% annually, becomes irrelevant when compared to the benefits brought by virtualization

Process optimization of physicochemical properties of spray-dried Hydrocotyle umbellata L. extract

Hydrocotyle umbellata L., Araliaceae, is a species that is recommended in Ayurvedic medicine for its effects on the central nervous system, such as anxiolytic and memory-stimulant effects. Despite the medicinal potential of this species, its phytopharmaceutical and technological potential to produce standardized extracts has not been investigated. This study analyzes the influence of spray drying parameters on the contents of the chemical markers (total phenolic, total flavonoid, and hibalactone) and the functional properties of H. umbellata extract. The optimization of drying conditions was performed using a central composite design combined with response surface methodology and desirability function approach. The mathematical models fitted to experimental data indicated that all the evaluated drying parameters significantly influenced the chemical contents. The optimal conditions were: inlet temperature of 120 °C, feed flow rate of 4 mL min-1, and colloidal silicon dioxide:maltodextrin ratio of 16%:4%. Under these conditions, the powder samples had spherical particles and desirable physicochemical and functional properties, such as low water activity and moisture content, good product recovery, reconstitution, and flowability. Thus, spray drying might be a promising technique for processing standardized H. umbellata extracts
