The belief in the existence of an ecological crisis that would affect the future of the planet, is one of the factors that causes the appearance of ecological concern, resulting in the adoption of non-predatory consumer practices and more respectful relationships with non-humans beings. This study starts from the assumption of the existence of an environmental question, and aims to investigate some of the cultural causes of human predation and identify possible ways in which environmental question can be treated critically to search overcomes. Follows the reasoning that western society as a complex of social relations, the capitalism, as a mode of production utilities and rational right, are all consequences of the modern rationality, cognitive and moral logic that transforms people and nature in satisfaction instruments of individual interests. However, despite being identified as the causative root of environmental question, modern rationality takes with it enough to promote the development of ecological respect, necessary in confronting and overcoming the environmental question, as it will be applied as a principle in redefinition of the relationship of human beings with themselves and with nature. And modern rationality can also make capitalism more efficient in the use and reuse of materials so as to consume fewer resources on the planet to satisfy human needs.

Os flebotomíneos (Diptera, Psychodidae) são insetos transmissores de leishmanioses e arboviroses. O estabelecimento de colônias em laboratório para o estudo comportamental da espécie Lutzomyia neivai, transmissor da leishmaniose tegumentar, requer manutenção e cuidados especiais. Os insetos hematófagos são atraídos por substâncias voláteis liberadas pelos hospedeiros e o estudo dessas substâncias é denominado “ecologia química”. A capacidade atrativa das substâncias pode ser medida em laboratório por meio de aparatos como túneis de vento. Entretanto, muitas variáveis interferem na eficácia de um túnel de vento, como por exemplo: tamanho do túnel, forma de liberação e captura dos insetos, velocidade e forma da pluma de odor e altura da fonte de liberação de odor (meio ou base do túnel). Este estudo tem como finalidade o estabelecimento de uma colônia de Lutzomyia neivai e a construção de um túnel de vento, desenvolvido e modificado a partir de literatura de referência, para avaliação de substâncias atrativas. Os espécimes foram coletados na região de Araraquara, nos municípios de Rincão e Santa Eudóxia. Após a coleta, os insetos capturados foram levados para a Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas – Campus Araraquara onde a colônia foi mantida e os experimentos realizados

There are substantial evidences that the period experienced by humanity globally is unprecedented and is heading towards a major transformation that results from the Globalization. Totally conditioned to the addictions of the dominant and predatory capitalism, humanity has, for decades, exhausted natural resources, disregarded the nature of its own social existence and walked away from its humanity. It is notable, however, an impressive flow of factors that dialogue and support each other as trends that go towards sustainable development, based on the harmonious integration between Technology, Culture, Society, Environment and Economy. This emerging moment can be seen from the perspectives of the Creative Economy as economic paradigm centered on the subjectivity and the human capacity to undertake innovative services, products and solutions guided by social values. Within this fluid and dynamic global context, initiatives that legitimately intend to act sustainably are gaining space. This socioeconomic moment fosters and is fostered by new kinds of work and organization guided by the Collaboration and social structuring on Network Patterns. These new social models significantly transform the understanding and insights about the Communication flows. The HUB São Paulo, as creative and social organization that operates under the logic of Collaboration through a Network Structure, was the subject of a case study used to sustain the defense of this emerging scenario and also to perform an analysis on the new role of Communication, at perspectives of transformation of mental paradigms towards sustainability and establishment of meaningful connections

Alguns vegetais, como a soja (Glycine max L. Merr), despertam interesse, pois fornecem, entre outras substâncias, as isoflavonas, que apresentam importantes propriedades estrogênicas e, também, atuam como antioxidantes, antifúngicos e anticancerígenos. A menopausa, causada pela deficiência hormonal, é acompanhada de vários transtornos metabólicos, como perda de massa óssea, fenômenos vasomotores, dislipidemia, resistência insulínica, ganho de peso, depressão e aceleração do envelhecimento cutâneo. A terapia de reposição hormonal (TRH) é eficaz, embora possa causar efeitos secundários, como câncer de mama. Nestes casos, a fitoterapia com fitormônios por via cutânea é uma alternativa importante. Dentre as preparações de uso tópico, sistemas emulsionados e géis são muito utilizados, pois favorecem a solubilidade e a estabilidade de fármacos. Para avaliar a estabilidade das formulações, foram consideradas as características organolépticas (aspecto, cor, odor) e as características físico-químicas (valor de pH, viscosidade e densidade, etc.), separação de fases e/ou coalescência. Algumas formulações apresentam-se com características desejáveis e adequadas para a veiculação de isoflavonas presentes em extrato de soja, podendo-se sugeri-las como sistemas adequados e estáveis para sua veiculação pela via dérmica

The meat quality is evaluated by consumers according to their physical characteristics, such as color, texture, juiciness, tenderness and odor. The stress during the life of the animal and at the moment before the slaughter may be responsible for changes in the transformation of muscle into meat. Such changes may lead to the appearance of DFD (Dark, Firm and Dry) and PSE (Pale, Soft and Exudative) meats, which are poorly accepted in the market – because of their unusual aspect – and inadequate to industrial processing. Factors related to the handling, loading, transport, unloading, resting period and stunning are singled out as critical, since that, in these phases the animals are subjected to adverse situations to which they are accustomed. The aim of this study is to identify the process of ante-mortem and the slaughter itself in which the animals are subjected to stressful situations, as well as the consequences of stress on meat quality

The platinosomiase is a disease the hepatobiliary system of domestic felines being caused by trematode Platynosomum fastosum. The life cycle of the parasite includes the presence of three intermediate hosts (snails, terrestrial isopodes, lizards or frogs). The cat is considered definitive host of the parasite and acquires the infection eating a vertebrate intermediate host containing metacercariae. The adult parasites generally inhabit the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts of cats. The severity of clinical manifestations depends mainly on the number of flukes in the biliary tract. Many animals are asymptomatic or exhibit nonspecific clinical manifestations such as anorexia, lethargy, weight loss, vomiting and diarrhea. In large infestations can occur biliary obstruction resulting in jaundice, cirrhosis, hepatitis cholangiohepatitis and even death. The definitive diagnosis is accomplished through by the detection of fluke eggs in feces or through laparotomy and liver biopsy. Treatment should be based on the use of anthelmintic for the elimination of the parasite and supportive therapy for the animal. Prevention is difficult due to predatory nature of the cat. The control can be accomplished through periodic fecal examinations

O genero Musa apresenta características em suas inflorescências como: grande tamanho, visibilidade, odor floral e fluxo de néctar abundante, que tornam o gênero um importante recurso para morcegos fitófagos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar as interações entre morcegos filostomideos e flores de M. paradisiaca no pomar da fazenda Santo Antônio dos Ipês, Município de Jaú, São Paulo. Três espécies (Glossophaga soricina, Anoura caudifer e Phyllostomus discolor) foram observadas alimentando-se do néctar das flores das bananeiras do pomar. Três formas distintas de comportamento de visita foram observadas: “adejo” para G. soricina e A. caudifer, “pouso de frente na inflorescência” para G. soricina e “pouso de cabeça para baixo na inflorescência” para P. discolor. As visitas ocorreram durante toda noite (das 18h00 às 6h00), com pico de vistas das 20h00 à 1h00. As visitas entre duas sub-famílias ocorriam de forma alternada nestes horários. Apesar das três espécies de filostomideos partilharem o néctar das bananeiras, os glossofagineos são os principais beneficiados por esse recurso alimentar, uma vez que cerca de 88% (N=694) das visitas registradas às suas flores foram realizadas por G. soricina e A. caudifer, enquanto apenas 12% (N=97) foram por P. discolor

The genetic selection and the nutritional management to improve milk production make the dairy cattle more susceptible to the development of diseases, such as the abomasal displacement. It is the most frequently detected abomasal problem and it is the main cause of abdominal surgeries in dairy cattle. It is a multifactorial disease that occurs mainly in dairy cattle of high production during the puerperium. The abomasal displacement can occur to the right (DAD) or to the left (DAE), being the former more frequent than the latter. It is related to feeding management and occurs in animals that also have other diseases such as hypocalcaemia, ketosis and retained placenta. The disease causes economical losses in dairy cattle because of the costs with treatment, reduction of production, increase of the interval between the parturition, loss of body weight, early discard of the matrix and mortality. The most usual clinical signs are apathy, dehydration, low to serious ruminal timpanismo (gas accumulation in the abomasum) with reduction or lack of motility, liquid splash sound during the ballottement of the right flank, metallic sound to percussion, presence of a structure similar to distended viscera in the thorax or in the paralombar cavity on the side corresponding to the displacement, and liquefied, dark, scarce and fetid feces. The treatment is surgical, and the most used technique is the omentopexy on the left flank. The hidroelectrolytic correction must be performed and the concomitant diseases must be treated. The prophylaxis consists of adequate nutrition and pre-parturition management, besides reduction of stress and other diseases of the puerperium
