Geoelectrical prospection of disseminated sulfide mineral occurrences in Camaquã Sedimentary Basin, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil

The mineral exploration is a complex activity that should involve a combination of direct and indirect techniques of geological investigation. The growing demand for base metals in the national and international market provides the revaluation of mineral occurrences that can become deposits and mines. This paper presents the results of the electrical resistivity and induced polarization geophysical methods in azimuthal arrangement, applied in a mineral occurrence of disseminated copper sulfides, previously studied through trenches and core drilling, located in the Camaquã Sedimentary Basin, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The inversion models indicate the coincidence of high chargeability and low resistivity values. The integration of geophysical data permitted the elaboration of 3D attributes visualization models for the mineralization enclosed in volcanic tuffs. The integrated geophysical and geological analysis indicates the potential of a new mineralized area. © 2012 Sociedade Brasileira de Geofísica.

A presença da literatura/cultura portuguesas em periódicos paulistas - 1900-1922

Partindo-se do pressuposto de que existe uma interligação, por meio da presença da literatura/cultura portuguesa, entre Portugal e a cidade de São Paulo – no período de 1900-1922, caracterizado ainda como pré-modernista brasileiro –, a proposta deste texto dirige-se ao comentário de alguns periódicos (O Estado de S. Paulo; A Vida Moderna; O Pirralho), visto que “[...] há uma história da literatura que se projeta na cidade de S. Paulo; e há uma história da cidade de S. Paulo que se projeta na literatura.” (CANDIDO, 1975). Assim, pretende-se verificar como a presença da literatura/cultura portuguesa (principalmente autores canônicos do século XIX) repercutiu na vida social e intelectual da cidade de São Paulo, para melhor compreensão das formas de sociabilidade, bem como a caracterização das diferentes etapas percorridas pela literatura brasileira em São Paulo.

Shell occupation by the South Atlantic endemic hermit crab Loxopagurus loxochelis (Moreira, 1901) (Anomura: Diogenidae)

The evaluation of population characteristics, particularly those of endemic species, aids in population preservation and management. Hermit crabs present an innate behavior of occupying shells, which tends to individual needs and limits their distribution. This study characterized the pattern of occupation of gastropod shells by the hermit Loxopagurus loxochelis in three bays of the southwestern coast of Brazil. Monthly collections were made from January/1998 to December/1999 in the bays Ubatumirim (UBM), Ubatuba (UBA) and Mar Virado (MV) with a shrimping boat. Overall, ten species of gastropod shells were occupied by L. loxochelis. The shell of Olivancillaria urceus represented 66.8% of those occupied. Morphometric relationships demonstrated a differential occupation of the more abundant shells among demographic groups, where most of the males occupied O. urceus, non-ovigerous females occupied O. urceus and Buccinanops cochlidium, and ovigerous females occupied B. cochlidium and Stramonita haemastoma. Most of the individuals occupied the more abundant shells, considered adequate for the morphology of this hermit crab species. Thus, the studied bays seem to be stable and propitious environments for population perpetuation and the settlement of new individuals.

Waist circumference in predicting gestational diabetes mellitus

Background: To evaluate waist circumference (WC) measured at 20-24 weeks of gestation as a predictor of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods: This cross-sectional study included 240 women at 20-24 weeks of gestation. At enrollment, WC was measured, and both prepregnancy and gestational body mass index (BMI) were estimated. According to the results of 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed at 24-28 weeks, subjects were allocated into two groups, non-GDM and GDM. WC sensitivity and specificity, and odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals for BMI and WC were estimated, and a receiver operating characteristics curve was generated.Results: Of the 240 pregnant women enrolled, 31 (13%) had GDM. Prepregnancy BMI (OR = 4.21), gestational BMI (OR = 3.17) and WC at 20-24 weeks (OR = 4.02) correlated with GDM risk. At 20-24 weeks, a WC of 85.5-88.5 cm was the optimal cutoff point for predicting GDM (Sens/Spec balance between 87.1/41.1% and 77.4/56.9%).Conclusion: At 20-24 weeks of gestation, WC values in the range of 86-88 cm showed to be a good performance in predicting GDM.
