Entre o oficial e o costumeiro: o exercício dos poderes e a espacialização da ruralidade no centro da América do Sul (primeira metade do século XVIII)

Analisamos aqui a relação entre o sistema administrativo português e a formação de ambientes rurais no centro da América do Sul, em territórios que, na primeira metade do século XVIII, integravam o extremo oeste do Estado do Brasil, no âmbito administrativo da capitania de São Paulo. A partir de um enfoque local, examinando correspondências entre autoridades metropolitanas e cartas de sesmarias, este artigo dialoga com a produção histórica sobre a administração portuguesa na América, buscando reconstruir aspectos generalizantes que possam revelar características estruturais da conquista da terra e da formação de ambientes rurais nos territórios portugueses na América.In this article we analyze the relationship between the Portuguese administrative system and formation of rural environments in the center of South America, in territories that in the first half of the eighteenth century comprised the extreme western part of the State of Brazil, under the administrative captaincy of Sao Paulo. From a local focus, analizing letters of metropolitan authorities and documentation of possession of land, this article dialogue with the historical production of the Portuguese administration in America, seeking rebuild generalizing aspects that may prove structural characteristics of the conquest of land and training of rural environments in Portuguese territories in America

A Lei de Terras no Brasil Império e os índios do Planalto Meridional: a luta política e diplomática do Kaingang Vitorino Condá (1845-1870)

RESUMO O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar a legislação de terras do Brasil Império com base na sua principal lei, a Lei de Terras - as condições em que foi forjada, bem como sua influência sobre as terras indígenas do Planalto Meridional. O foco da investigação é a luta do Kaingang Vitorino Condá por suas terras, a partir de seu encontro político com o Conde de Caxias em 1845, até sua morte em 1870. As ações políticas e diplomáticas dos povos originários, que atuavam dentro da legislação e fora dela, se não dominavam totalmente as estratégias jurídicas dos invasores de suas terras, tiravam proveito delas em suas possibilidades de interpretação, o que permitiu a permanência de linhas de ações com estabelecimento de um espaço onde foi possível criar as próximas gerações e afirmar a continuidade de seu povo

PROGNOSTIC EVALUATION OF THE NUTRITIONAL PROGNOSTIC INDEX IN PATIENTS WITH NON-METASTATIC RECTAL CANCER

Introduction/Justification: Rectal cancer (RC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide. Recent studies indicate that systemic inflammation and nutritional status are associated with the prognosis of cancer patients. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been increasingly studied as a predictor of survival outcome. However, despite these advances, there are few studies evaluating the prognostic capacity of this index in patients with RC. Objectives: To analyze the impact of PNI on the survival of patients with non-metastatic RC undergoing oncological treatment. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional and analytical study. It included patients diagnosed with stage I, II and III rectal carcinoma who had been treated surgically, with or without neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, and who were attended to at the Clinical Oncology outpatient clinic of the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of Campinas between January 2000 and December 2016. Patients were categorized into low and high PNI, according to the median of the sample. PNI was calculated using the formula: PNI = (10xserum albumin [g/dl]) + 0.005xlymphocytes/μL). Clinical variables, body composition and systemic inflammatory indices were also analyzed. Body composition was analyzed using computed tomography, and skeletal muscle compartments and subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue were assessed using SliceOmatic software (Tomovision, Canada). Statistical analyses were carried out using Stata software version 12.0 (Stata Corp LP®). This research was approved by the UNICAMP Research Ethics Committee (CAAE: 22438319.9.0000.5404). Results: The sample consisted of 298 patients, 118 of whom had low PNI. The group with low PNI had a lower muscle mass index (p = 0.025) and subcutaneous adipose tissue index (p = 0.044), and higher subcutaneous (p =0.049) and visceral (p = 0.012) adipose tissue radiodensity. Median disease-free survival was 24.5 months for patients with low PNI (HR 1.85; CI 1.30-2.62; p = 0.001). Patients with low PNI had a lower median disease-free survival (mDS) of 24.5 months compared to 107.4 months for the high PNI group [HR 1.85; IC 1.30-2.62; p = 0.001]. Median overall survival (mOS) was 75.3 months for the low NPI group and 140.4 months for the high NPI group (HR 1.67; CI 1.13-2.48; p = 0.011). Conclusion: The PNI performed at diagnosis is a prognostic tool for assessing the clinical outcome of patients with non-metastatic RC. Nutritional status and systemic inflammation are associated with survival in cancer patients. The PNI is a marker that combines both conditions and has been shown to be an important prognostic tool for desease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in RC. The PNI is a simple, practical tool that uses low-cost clinical evaluation parameters and can therefore be easily implemented in clinical practice

Quantitative characteristics of the carcasses of Moxotó and Canindé goats fed diets with two different energy levels Características quantitativas da carcaça de caprinos das raças Moxotó e Canindé recebendo dietas com dois níveis de energia

The objective of this work was to evaluate the quantitative characteristics of carcasses of Moxotó and Canindé goats finished in feedlots and fed diets of two levels of energy. It was used 40 castrated young goats, 20 from Moxotó breed and 20 from Canindé breed, each one with an average body weight of 15.2 kg. The animals were fed with diets containing 2.20 and 2.71 (Mcal/kg DM). The experimental period lasted 86 days. There was no difference among the barometric measures of Moxotó and Canindé kids. Canindé goats showed higher final weight, higher weight after fasting and higher hot and cold carcass weights when compared to the Moxotó animals. Animals that consumed diets with higher energy level had higher final weight and conformation as well as higher carcass yield. Considering the percentage values of the commercial meat cuts, no difference among treatments was observed. The diet was the factor that most influenced the non-constituent components of the carcass of Moxotó and Canindé goats. In general, animals belonging to the Canindé breed presented higher quantitative characteristics than the Moxotó breed. Supply of diets with higher energetic level (2.71 Mcal/kg DM) for goats from Moxotó and Canindé breeds, in feedlots, favors the production of carcass with higher yields and heavier commercial meat cuts.<br>Objetivou-se avaliar as características quantitativas da carcaça de caprinos Moxotó e Canindé terminados em confinamento e recebendo dietas com dois níveis de energia. Foram utilizados 40 cabritos castrados, com peso médio de 15,2 kg, sendo 20 da raça Moxotó e 20 da raça Canindé, suplementados com dietas contendo 2,20 e 2,71 (Mcal/kg MS). O período experimental consistiu de 86 dias. Não se constatou distinções entre as medidas barimétricas de cabritos Moxotó e Canindé. Os cabritos da raça Canindé caracterizam-se por apresentar maior peso final, peso vivo pós-jejum e peso de carcaça quente e fria, que animais da raça Moxotó. Os animais que consumiram dietas com maior nível de energia apresentaram maior peso final e conformação, assim como maiores rendimentos de carcaça. Considerando-se os valores percentuais dos cortes comerciais não se observaram distinções entre os tratamentos. A dieta atuou como principal fator de influência sobre os componentes não constituintes da carcaça de caprinos das raças Moxotó e Canindé. De modo geral, caprinos da raça Canindé apresentam características quantitativas de carcaça superior a raça Moxotó. O fornecimento da dieta com maior nível energético (2,71 Mcal/kg MS) para caprinos da Raça Moxotó e Canindé, em confinamento, favorece a produção de carcaças com rendimentos superiores e cortes comerciais mais pesados
