Leituras antropológicas sobre a arte kadiwéu

In this article, we propose to understand how the analysis of kadiwéuart made by Guido Boggiani, Claude Levi- Strauss and Darcy Ribeiro dialogueswith two theoretical schools of anthropology and with my own ethnographyexperience, conducted among kadiwéu women artists in the village of Alves deBarros, municipality of Porto Murtinho-MS. Starting by the understanding ofthe existing dualism between art as a communication system and art as agency,and making use of the contributions of the above mentioned authors and myethnographic notes, we intend to develop a kadiwéu art study.Neste artigo, propomo-nos a entender como as análises da arte kadiwéuelaboradas por Guido Boggiani, Claude Lévi-Strauss e Darcy Ribeiro dialogam com duas vertentes teóricas da antropologia e com a minha própria experiência etnográfica, realizada entre as mulheres artistas kadiwéu da aldeia Alves de Barros, município de Porto Murtinho-MS. Partindo da compreensão do dualismo existente entre a arte como sistema de comunicação e a arte como agência, e servindo-nos das contribuições dos autores supracitados e dos meus apontamentos etnográficos, pretendemos desenvolver um estudo da arte kadiwéu

DIVIDIR O PÃO: A CULTURA ENTRE A HISTÓRIA E A ANTROPOLOGIA

O presente artigo tem por finalidade mapear algumas conceituações da noção de cultura, especificamente àquelas que explicitam um diálogo entre a Antropologia e a História. Tal proposta surgiu da discussão de pontos de vista distintos sobre o conceito de cultura, compreendidos pelas autoras ora como aproximados ora como distanciados, segundo as formações acadêmicas de ambas as autoras. Justificado pela necessidade de clarificar os movimentos desta noção, oferecemos uma descrição de algumas proposições-chave da noção de cultura, objetivando a sistematização e a orientação de acadêmicos de ambos os cursos que estão iniciando as leituras acerca deste debate. Isto posto, este artigo é composto por um referencial bibliográfico antropológico e historiográfico, não utilizando-se de pesquisa de campo, fontes ou experimental. This article presents a map of the notion of culture, between Anthropology and His-tory. The proposal arose from the discussion of different points of view on the concept of cul-ture, understood by the authors as either approximated or distanced, according to the academic formations of both authors. Justified by the need to clarify the movements of this notion, be-tween anthropological and historical knowledge, we offer a description of some key proposi-tions of the notion of culture, aiming to guidance academics from both courses who are begin-ning to read about this debate. Composed by an anthropological and historiographic biblio-graphical reference, this article is not using field research, historical or experimental sources

El ácido abscísico y metil jasmonato modulan la acumulación de antocianinas y trans-resveratrol en hollejos de bayas de cinco cultivares tintos de Vitis vinifera en dos regiones vitícolas contrastantes de Mendoza, Argentina

Los hollejos de las uvas tintas contienen cantidades significativas de polifenoles que contribuyen a la calidad del vino y proporcionan beneficios para la salud. Estos compuestos pueden ser elicitados por hormonas vegetales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue aumentar el contenido de antocianinos (ANT) y trans-resveratrol (T-RES) mediante la aplicación de ácido abscísico (ABA) y jasmonato de metilo (MeJA) en 5 V. vinifera cvs. (Bonarda, Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon y Pinot Noir), en dos contrastantes regiones vitícolas argentinas (Santa Rosa y Valle de Uco). Los resultados mostraron un efecto positivo y diferencial de ABA y MeJA en el contenido total de ANT para los diversos cultivares, con cambios en las proporciones de ANT azul y rojo. ABA aumentó los ANT totales en ambas regiones vitícolas, mientras que MeJA tuvo un efecto positivo solo en Santa Rosa. Además, ABA y MeJA indujeron una acumulación de T-RES en diferentes cultivares, independientemente de la región; la acumulación de T-RES provocada por ABA ha sido previamente reportada. Este trabajo pone de manifiesto la posibilidad de utilizar estas hormonas como herramientas prácticas para producir vinos tintos de alta calidad en dos regiones vitícolas contrastantes.Berry skins from red grape cultivars contain significant amounts of polyphenols that contribute to wine quality and provide health benefits. These compounds can be elicited by plant hormones. The aim of this work was to increase the content of anthocyanins (ANT) and trans-resveratrol (T-RES) by application of abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in five red V. vinifera cvs. (Bonarda, Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir), in two Argentinean contrasting growing regions (Santa Rosa and Valle de Uco). Results showed positive and differential effects of ABA and MeJA on the total ANT content for the diverse cultivars with changes in the proportions of blue and red ANT. ABA increased total ANT in both viticultural region, while MeJA had a positive effect only in Santa Rosa. Also, ABA and MeJA induced an accumulation of T-RES in different cultivars, regardless of the region; T-RES accumulation elicited by ABA was not previously described. This work brings out the possibility to use these hormones as practical tools to produce high-quality red wines in two contrasting viticultural regions.Fil: Malovini, Emiliano Jesus.

Epidemiological study of canine mammary tumors: age, breed, size and malignancy

A retrospective study was carried out on 858 female canine patients who were attended at the Surgery Service of the Clinical Veterinary Hospital of the University of Extremadura (Spain), during a period of 5 years (2008-2012). This study aims to determine the incidence of mammary tumors in the canine species of this region together with the analysis of several epidemiological variables (breed, age, and size) and the histopathological variable tumor malignancy. Three groups of patients were considered: (I) general group including all patients (n=858), (II) oncological patients (n=376), and (III) patients with mammary tumors (n=227). Oncology represented the most common pathology for female dogs (n=376, 43.82%), with mammary tumors being the most frequent neoplasms (n=227, 60.37%). Mixed breed dogs were more likely than purebred dogs to suffer from mammary tumors, with these tumors being more frequently malignant. It was also found that large-sized patients show a greater predisposition to malignant mammary tumors. In patients with tumors, age at diagnosis was significantly associated with a higher malignancy rate. The results of the study confirm the importance of oncology in the veterinary clinic in the region. Mammary tumors represent the most frequently diagnosed neoplasia in female dogs. Old age, mixed breed and large size predispose to its development and represent risk factors for malignancy

Biological treatment of the organic fibre from the autoclaving of municipal solid wastes : preliminary results

Commingled municipal solid waste (MSW) was autoclaved in the presence of saturated steam for 30 min at 145 °C and 600 kPa. The organic fibre fraction from the autoclaved resulting material was examined for biodegradability. Aerobic and anaerobic tests were carried out to characterise the fibre in terms of biodegradation potential, which was moderate (biogas production potential of 251 ± 22 l [biogas] kg⁻¹ [total solids (TS)] and dynamic respiration index (DRI) of 1575 ± 116 mg [O2] kg⁻¹ [TS] h⁻¹). Manual and chemical characterisations were also performed to organic fibre. Following this characterisation, a laboratory-scale thermophilic anaerobic digestion process and a pilot-scale composting process were carried out to determine the possibilities of these biological treatments. In the anaerobic digestion process the biogas yield values obtained were within 0.15-0.21 m³ [biogas] kg⁻¹ [volatile solids (VS)] with an organic loading rate (OLR) of 3 kg [VS] m⁻³ d⁻¹. However, it was difficult to reach the steady state in the anaerobic thermophilic process for the different organic loads tested. Further experiments are necessary to determine the optimal biogas production and performance under these conditions. The composting process performed correctly and the final material was stable (DRI of 504 ± 74 mg [O2] kg⁻¹ [TS] h⁻¹) and with good properties for its application to soil regarding heavy metal contents that corresponding to class B compost, with the exception of some metals that corresponded to class A

Mefloquine for preventing malaria in pregnant women

Background: The World Health Organization recommends intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for malaria for all women who live in moderate to high malaria transmission areas in Africa. However, parasite resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine has been increasing steadily in some areas of the region. Moreover, HIV-infected women on cotrimoxazole prophylaxis cannot receive sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine because of potential drug interactions. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify alternative drugs for prevention of malaria in pregnancy. One such candidate is mefloquine. Objectives: To assess the effects of mefloquine for preventing malaria in pregnant women, specifically, to evaluate: • the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of mefloquine for preventing malaria in pregnant women; and • the impact of HIV status, gravidity, and use of insecticide-treated nets on the effects of mefloquine.Search methods: We searched the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group Specialized Register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, Latin American Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), the Malaria in Pregnancy Library, and two trial registers up to 31 January 2018. In addition, we checked references and contacted study authors to identify additional studies, unpublished data, confidential reports, and raw data from published trials. Selection criteria: Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing mefloquine IPT or mefloquine prophylaxis against placebo, no treatment, or an alternative drug regimen. Data collection and analysis: Two review authors independently screened all records identified by the search strategy, applied inclusion criteria, assessed risk of bias, and extracted data. We contacted trial authors to ask for additional information when required. Dichotomous outcomes were compared using risk ratios (RRs), count outcomes as incidence rate ratios (IRRs), and continuous outcomes using mean differences (MDs). We have presented all measures of effect with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We assessed the certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach for the following main outcomes of analysis: maternal peripheral parasitaemia at delivery, clinical malaria episodes during pregnancy, placental malaria, maternal anaemia at delivery, low birth weight, spontaneous abortions and stillbirths, dizziness, and vomiting. Main results: Six trials conducted between 1987 and 2013 from Thailand (1), Benin (3), Gabon (1), Tanzania (1), Mozambique (2), and Kenya (1) that included 8192 pregnant women met our inclusion criteria. Two trials (with 6350 HIV-uninfected pregnant women) compared two IPTp doses of mefloquine with two IPTp doses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine. Two other trials involving 1363 HIV-infected women compared three IPTp doses of mefloquine plus cotrimoxazole with cotrimoxazole. One trial in 140 HIV-infected women compared three doses of IPTp-mefloquine with cotrimoxazole. Finally, one trial enrolling 339 of unknown HIV status compared mefloquine prophylaxis with placebo. Study participants included women of all gravidities and of all ages (four trials) or > 18 years (two trials). Gestational age at recruitment was > 20 weeks (one trial), between 16 and 28 weeks (three trials), or ≤ 28 weeks (two trials). Two of the six trials blinded participants and personnel, and only one had low risk of detection bias for safety outcomes. When compared with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, IPTp-mefloquine results in a 35% reduction in maternal peripheral parasitaemia at delivery (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.86; 5455 participants, 2 studies; high-certainty evidence) but may have little or no effect on placental malaria infections (RR 1.04, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.86; 4668 participants, 2 studies; low-certainty evidence). Mefloquine results in little or no difference in the incidence of clinical malaria episodes during pregnancy (incidence rate ratio (IRR) 0.83, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.05, 2 studies; high-certainty evidence). Mefloquine decreased maternal anaemia at delivery (RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.76 to 0.94; 5469 participants, 2 studies; moderate-certainty evidence). Data show little or no difference in the proportions of low birth weight infants (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.17; 5641 participants, 2 studies; high-certainty evidence) and in stillbirth and spontaneous abortion rates (RR 1.20, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.58; 6219 participants, 2 studies; I2 statistic = 0%; high-certainty evidence). IPTp-mefloquine increased drug-related vomiting (RR 4.76, 95% CI 4.13 to 5.49; 6272 participants, 2 studies; high-certainty evidence) and dizziness (RR 4.21, 95% CI 3.36 to 5.27; participants = 6272, 2 studies; high-certainty evidence). When compared with cotrimoxazole, IPTp-mefloquine plus cotrimoxazole probably results in a 48% reduction in maternal peripheral parasitaemia at delivery (RR 0.52, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.93; 989 participants, 2 studies; moderate-certainty evidence) and a 72% reduction in placental malaria (RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.57; 977 participants, 2 studies; high-certainty evidence) but has little or no effect on the incidence of clinical malaria episodes during pregnancy (IRR 0.76, 95% CI 0.33 to 1.76, 1 study; high-certainty evidence) and probably no effect on maternal anaemia at delivery (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.20; 1197 participants, 2 studies; moderate-certainty evidence), low birth weight rates (RR 1.20, 95% CI 0.89 to 1.60; 1220 participants, 2 studies; moderate-certainty evidence), and rates of spontaneous abortion and stillbirth (RR 1.12, 95% CI 0.42 to 2.98; 1347 participants, 2 studies; very low-certainty evidence). Mefloquine was associated with higher risks of drug-related vomiting (RR 7.95, 95% CI 4.79 to 13.18; 1055 participants, one study; high-certainty evidence) and dizziness (RR 3.94, 95% CI 2.85 to 5.46; 1055 participants, 1 study; high-certainty evidence). Authors' conclusions: Mefloquine was more efficacious than sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in HIV-uninfected women or daily cotrimoxazole prophylaxis in HIV-infected pregnant women for prevention of malaria infection and was associated with lower risk of maternal anaemia, no adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes (such as stillbirths and abortions), and no effects on low birth weight and prematurity. However, the high proportion of mefloquine-related adverse events constitutes an important barrier to its effectiveness for malaria preventive treatment in pregnant women
