Colônia do Sacramento : comércio e sociedade na fronteira platina (1716-1753)

O presente estudo analisa a Colônia do Sacramento entre 1716 e 1753 privilegiando questões sociais e comerciais. Através da análise do espaço urbano e de informações sobre o comércio, busca-se inserir a Colônia do Sacramento no contexto regional platina, assim como identificar os vinculas e o papel da povoação nos marcos do Império Português. A importância do comércio na conformação da estrutura urbana e social da cidade, os profundos vinculas entre autoridades e comerciantes, e as estratégias de ocupação portuguesa no rio da Prata recebem especial atenção.This study examines the trade and society of Colonia do Sacramento city between 1716 and 1753.

Effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture versus Sham Acupuncture: a Systematic Review

Objetivo: identificar e sintetizar as evidências oriundas de ensaios clínicos randomizados que testaram a efetividade da acupuntura tradicional chinesa em relação à sham acupuntura para o tratamento dos fogachos em mulheres com câncer de mama no climatério. Método: revisão sistemática guiada pelas recomendações da Colaboração Cochrane. A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados: MEDLINE via PubMed, Web of Science, CENTRAL Cochrane, CINAHL e LILACS. Adotou-se a combinação dos descritores: breast neoplasm, acupuncture, acupuncture therapy, acupuncture points, placebos, sham treatment, hot flashes, hot flushes, menopause, climacteric, vasomotor symptoms. Resultados: foram identificados 272 estudos, sendo 5 selecionados e analisados. Foi observada discreta superioridade da acupuntura tradicional em relação à sham, entretanto, sem fortes associações estatísticas. Conclusões: as evidências obtidas não foram suficientes para afirmar quanto à efetividade da acupuntura tradicional em relação à sham.Objetivo: Identificar y sintetizar la evidencia de un ensayo clínico aleatorizado que examinó la eficacia de la acupuntura tradicional en relación a la acupuntura sham para el tratamiento de sofocos en las mujeres menopáusicas con cáncer de mama. Método: Revisión sistemática guiada por las recomendaciones de la Colaboración Cochrane. Las referencias bibliográficas se buscaron en las siguientes bases de datos: MEDLINE vía PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL y LILACS. Se utilizó una combinación de las siguientes palabras clave: breast neoplasm, acupuncture, acupuncture therapy, acupuncture points, placebos, sham treatment, hot flashes, hot flushes, menopause, climacteric, vasomotor symptoms. Resultados: Se identificó un total de 272 estudios, cinco de los cuales fueron seleccionados y analizados. Se encontró una ligera superioridad de la acupuntura tradicional comparada con la acupuntura sham; sin embargo, no se encontraron asociaciones estadísticas fuertes. Conclusiones: La evidencia obtenida no fue suficiente para confirmar la eficacia de la acupuntura tradicional comparada con la acupuntura sham.Objective: to identify and synthesize the evidence from randomized clinical trials that tested the effectiveness of traditional Chinese acupuncture in relation to sham acupuncture for the treatment of hot flashes in menopausal women with breast cancer. Method: systematic review guided by the recommendations of the Cochrane Collaboration. Citations were searched in the following databases: MEDLINE via PubMed, Web of Science, CENTRAL, CINAHL, and LILACS. A combination of the following keywords was used: breast neoplasm, acupuncture, acupuncture therapy, acupuncture points, placebos, sham treatment, hot flashes, hot flushes, menopause, climacteric, and vasomotor symptoms. Results: a total of 272 studies were identified, five of which were selected and analyzed. Slight superiority of traditional acupuncture compared with sham acupuncture was observed; however, there were no strong statistical associations. Conclusions: the evidence gathered was not sufficient to affirm the effectiveness of traditional acupuncture compared with sham acupuncture

Estudos e resultados finais do grupo de pesquisa do CNPq em moda, história e têxtil-GEMOTEX (2019-2020): kombucha e fibra da urtiga / Studies and final results of the research group CNPq in fashion, history and textile-GEMOTEX (2019-2020): kombucha and nettle fiber

Embora exista uma produção bibliográfica considerável sobre moda, história e das coleções dos têxteis usados ao longo dos tempos, o fato é que tais estudos se restringem à identificação dos materiais têxteis associados à moda de forma incipiente ainda. Nesse sentido, há uma carência e necessidade de um estudo mais aprofundado sobre os produtos têxteis e as suas especificidades. O presente estudo privilegia as abordagens teóricas e os procedimentos metodológicos adequados ao tratamento de diferenciadas formas de pensar a moda e o têxtil, por intermédio de pesquisas realizadas pelo grupo GEMOTEX. Neste contexto, foi realizado um estudo prático metodológico com os materiais têxteis nos laboratórios têxteis e da Tecidoteca da Universidade Estadual de Maringá-UEM, por meio de manuseio/identificação dos produtos encontrados no decorrer da pesquisa, nos projetos: PIC/UEM “Desenvolvimento de acessórios voltados para o vestuário utilizando como matéria-prima o couro de kombucha” e PIBIC/CNPQ “Urtiga: desenvolvimento de produto para o vestuário por meio da utilização da fibra com cunho sustentável”, ambos no viés do eixo têxteis e moda. O objetivo é compartilhar os resultados finais das pesquisas citadas, com o intuito de preencher a escassez de informações, contribuindo, assim, com a produção de dados relevantes para serem empregados como fonte de pesquisa tanto por acadêmicos quanto por profissionais dessas áreas correlatas. Desse modo, adentrar nas diversas linhas de pesquisa possibilita a participação não só de alunos e professores do curso de Moda da UEM - Cianorte, mas também de docentes e discentes de outras áreas, como design, engenharias, técnicos de produção e têxteis, entre outros

A list of land plants of Parque Nacional do Caparaó, Brazil, highlights the presence of sampling gaps within this protected area

Brazilian protected areas are essential for plant conservation in the Atlantic Forest domain, one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots. A major challenge for improving conservation actions is to know the plant richness, protected by these areas. Online databases offer an accessible way to build plant species lists and to provide relevant information about biodiversity. A list of land plants of “Parque Nacional do Caparaó” (PNC) was previously built using online databases and published on the website "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil." Here, we provide and discuss additional information about plant species richness, endemism and conservation in the PNC that could not be included in the List. We documented 1,791 species of land plants as occurring in PNC, of which 63 are cited as threatened (CR, EN or VU) by the Brazilian National Red List, seven as data deficient (DD) and five as priorities for conservation. Fifity-one species were possible new ocurrences for ES and MG states

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
