Inclusão, democracia e novo-desenvolvimentismo : um balanço histórico

Este trabalho analisa o processo do desenvolvimentismo brasileiro compreendido entre a fase clássica dos anos 1950 até a perspectiva atual do novo-desenvolvimentismo, privilegiando o papel e a função desempenhadas pelo tema da democracia e da inclusão distributiva em cada arranjo. Na primeira seção, analisa-se a constelação semântica que envolve os termos progresso e desenvolvimento, procurando separá-los do processo/projeto denominado desenvolvimentismo. Na segunda seção, discutem-se as fases e características centrais do velho e do novo-desenvolvimentismo brasileiro e a perspectiva de sua subdivisão em três ondas históricas, separadas pelo aspecto político democrático e pelo tema da redistribuição. Por último, apresentam-se algumas considerações sobre o novo-desenvolvimentismo em seu arranjo democrático-inclusivo.This paper analyzes the process of the Brazilian developmentalism between the classical phase of the 1950s to the current perspective of new developmentalism, emphasizing the role and function played by the theme of democracy and distributive inclusion in every arrangement. In the first section, it is analyzed the semantic constellation involving the terms progress and development, seeking to separate them from the process / project called developmentalism. In the second section, it is discussed the phases and the central features of the old and the new Brazilian developmentalism and the prospect of their subdivision into three historical waves, separated by the political democratic aspect and by the theme of redistribution. Finally it presents some considerations about the new developmentalism in its democratic-inclusive arrangement

Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

Polymorphisms In The Il1a And Il1b Genes Are Not Associated With Susceptibility To Chronic Periodontitis In A Brazilian Population

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms in the IL-1a and IL-1b genes and severity of chronic periodontitis in Brazilians. 113 non-smoking subjects over 25 years (mean age 41.6) were divided according to the severity level of periodontal disease: 44 healthy individuals (control group), 31 subjects with moderate and 38 with severe periodontitis. DNA was obtained from epithelial cells through a mouthwash with 3 % glucose and scraping of oral mucosa. The samples were analyzed for IL-1a (- 889) and IL-1b (+3953) polymorphisms using PCR-RFLP. The significance of the differences in the frequencies of the polymorphisms in the control and groups with periodontitis was assessed by Chisquare test (p<0.05). No significant differences in the allele and genotype frequencies were found among the groups. It was concluded that neither polymorphisms IL-1a (-889) and IL-1b (+3953) nor the composite genotype were associated with the severity of chronic periodontal disease in the study population.27348-35

Microbial Diversity Similarities in Periodontal Pockets and Atheromatous Plaques of Cardiovascular Disease Patients

<div><p>Background and Objective</p><p>The immune and infectious alterations occurring in periodontitis have been shown to alter the development and severity of cardiovascular disease. One of these relationships is the translocation of oral bacteria to atheroma plaques, thereby promoting plaque development. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess, by 16s cloning and sequencing, the microbial diversity of the subgingival environment and atheroma plaques of patients concomitantly suffering from periodontitis and obstructive coronary artery atherosclerosis (OCAA).</p><p>Methods</p><p>Subgingival biofilm and coronary balloons used in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty were collected from 18 subjects presenting with generalized moderate to severe periodontitis and OCAA. DNA was extracted and the gene 16S was amplified, cloned and sequenced.</p><p>Results</p><p>Significant differences in microbial diversity were observed between both environments. While subgingival samples mostly contained the phylum <i>Firmicutes</i>, in coronary balloons, <i>Proteobacteria</i> (p<0.05) was predominant. In addition, the most commonly detected genera in coronary balloons were <i>Acinetobacter, Alloprevotella, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Sphingomonas</i> and <i>Moraxella</i>, while in subgingival samples <i>Porphyromonas, Filifactor, Veillonella, Aggregatibacter</i> and <i>Treponema</i> (p<0.05) were found. Interestingly, 17 identical phylotypes were found in atheroma and subgingival samples, indicating possible bacterial translocation between periodontal pockets and coronary arteries.</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>Periodontal pockets and atheromatous plaques of cardiovascular disease patients can present similarities in the microbial diversity.</p></div
