Validation of a physical anthropology methodology using mandibles for gender estimation in a Brazilian population

Validation studies of physical anthropology methods in the different population groups are extremely important, especially in cases in which the population variations may cause problems in the identification of a native individual by the application of norms developed for different communities. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to estimate the gender of skeletons by application of the method of Oliveira, et al. (1995), previously used in a population sample from Northeast Brazil. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The accuracy of this method was assessed for a population from Southeast Brazil and validated by statistical tests. The method used two mandibular measurements, namely the bigonial distance and the mandibular ramus height. The sample was composed of 66 skulls and the method was applied by two examiners. The results were statistically analyzed by the paired t test, logistic discriminant analysis and logistic regression. RESULTS: The results demonstrated that the application of the method of Oliveira, et al. (1995) in this population achieved very different outcomes between genders, with 100% for females and only 11% for males, which may be explained by ethnic differences. However, statistical adjustment of measurement data for the population analyzed allowed accuracy of 76.47% for males and 78.13% for females, with the creation of a new discriminant formula. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that methods involving physical anthropology present high rate of accuracy for human identification, easy application, low cost and simplicity; however, the methodologies must be validated for the different populations due to differences in ethnic patterns, which are directly related to the phenotypic aspects. In this specific case, the method of Oliveira, et al. (1995) presented good accuracy and may be used for gender estimation in Brazil in two geographic regions, namely Northeast and Southeast; however, for other regions of the country (North, Central West and South), previous methodological adjustment is recommended as demonstrated in this study

Artigo CORRELATION OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY WITH PHENOLIC CONTENT IN THE LEAVES OF Syzygium cumini (L.) SKEELS (MYRTACEAE)

Recebido em 2/5/06; aceito em 6/10/06; publicado na web em 28/5/07 Phenolic contents of extracts of Syzygium cumini leaves, collected monthly over a one-year period, were quantitatively determined by the modified Folin-Ciocalteau method. Extracts and tannin-free fractions were assayed by their potential to inhibit mouse paw edema induced by C48/80. HPLC showed high molecular weight phenolic species and flavonoids in the active extracts and fractions. The highest total phenolic content corresponded to the most potent degree of inhibition and the flavonoids were supposed to be the main species responsible for the activity, given that the flavonoid-enriched ethyl-acetate fraction maintained its effect down to a dose of 0.01 μg/kg in a dose-response manner

"ADOTE UM JARDIM" PRESERVAÇÃO E MEIO AMBIENTE UMA QUESTÃO DE CIDADANIA

O IFTO-Campus Araguatins está inserido em área rural e o projeto de extensão “ADOTE UM JARDIM” surgiu com objetivo de fomentar a integração com a comunidade. Por meio da A3P (Agenda Ambiental da Administração Pública), buscamos parcerias junto a iniciativa privada e o poder público municipal, para execução de paisagismo, jardinagem e conservação de canteiros em praças públicas, áreas verdes e canteiros centrais na cidade. A proposta foi de promover o compartilhamento de experiências administrativas entre as empresas privadas e poder público, no sentido de compreender o seu verdadeiro papel quanto a preservação do meio ambiente, melhorias urbanísticas e manutenção dos canteiros adotados, contribuindo assim com a melhoria visual e a qualidade de vida da população de Araguatins. Iniciativas como estas precisam ser difundidas pois oportunizam as empresas seja ela pública ou privada a demonstrarem com ações concretas a sua sensibilidade com as questões sociais, dando sua parcela de contribuição na preservação do meio ambiente e vencendo assim o estereótipo de quem visa permanentemente apenas o lucro. Como resposta vemos a participação e envolvimento da sociedade dentro do Instituto Federal de Educação que hoje é uma constante, visto que mais e mais projetos que contemplam esta integração entre escola comunidade vem sendo desenvolvidos nos Campi. Assim, a adesão da sociedade tem acontecido de forma bem positiva. A Prefeitura Municipal de Araguatins e a Coordenação do Projeto/A3P do IFTO- Campus Araguatins, são responsáveis por emitir o Termo de Adoção, bem como a permanente fiscalização sobre os serviços propostos. E como medida compensatória a empresa faz sua publicidade no local. A indicação dos JARDINS abertos a ADOÇÃO, é divulgada nos meios de comunicação escrita e ou falada. E a Coordenação Geral do Projeto de Extensão é quem recebe a manifestação das empresas interessadas em participar do projeto, indicando qual o jardim deseja adotar. Dessa forma iniciamos o projeto em uma praça da cidade. PALAVRAS CHAVES: Meio ambiente; Jardinagem; A3P.
