Desejos, brasilidades e segredos: o negócio do sexo na relação entre clientela espanhola e travestis brasileiras

The gender ethinicization and the nationality sexualization are aspects that have been discussed in the relationship between Spanish clients and Brazilian transvestites in the brisk sex business in Spain. Sometimes, in these sexual relationships, which are also business relationships, erotic aspects are associated with exoticism that is not related only to nationality or race, but also to new sexual experiences that are more exciting than those considered conventional practices. Hence, the connection between Brazil and the transgender body, made by some Spanish clients, makes sense only when considering the dense sexual grammar involved in those relationships. These signs were structured based on continual colonial attributions, which have been given fresh meaning by the new migration flow resulting from the broad spread of images and insertion of Brazil into the sexual tourism route. Aiming at fully discussing this proposal, this research is based on the queer theory and on other studies in the literature that focus on the poststructuralist and post-colonial sex market. These tools were used to analyze the data gathered in an ethnographic study carried out in São Paulo, Madrid, and Barcelona, as well as data collected from Spanish websites about sexual interest in transvestites

Educação para a sexualidade: intervenção em um grupo de adolescentes assistidos pelo cras, a partir do conhecimento de suas representações sociais em relação às DST/Aids

The Socio-Historical Psychology Theory understands human development constituted by the social and historical relations, in whom the individual belongs, and understanding the meaning of adolescence as a time and built. The social psychology, in this theoretical approach, proposes, among others, the category Social Representations (SR) for analysis and discussion of psychosocial phenomena. This study aimed to investigate the SR of adolescents about sexually transmitted diseases (STD/SIDA), by means of a questionnaire in order to know their vulnerabilities to spread of STD/SIDA. After the identification of vulnerabilities, an intervention was performed through a group processes with adolescents 11 to 15 years, users of services CRAS of a city in São Paulo State, to provide subsidies in relation to education for sexuality. Based on data collected and discussed, it can be stated that among the multiple determinants of the increased incidence, as the Epidemiological Bulletin 2011/MS, the lack of safe sex practices contributes to the vulnerability of adolescents. Emphasizes the need to know their Social Representations proposing an intervention, not to reproduce the imposition of „packages awareness of safe sex practices,” homogeneous and universal, it does little to promote health and education of adolescents.

Relações entre proeminência facial nas fotos do Orkut e o perfil dos usuários

Relationship Between Facial Prominence of Orkut’s Photos and the Users’ Profile This research aimed to verify the relation between facial prominence index (FPI) and the profile of 600 users of Orkut. The results demonstrated that in all evaluated segments the average of male facial prominence was higher than the female; women increase the prominence while men decrease it as they become older and university graduates women have presented higher prominence than high school graduates. Significant differences were also found in the categories of humor when comparing the FPI between the genders and between persons of the same gender. In summary, the results indicate that the determinant factors for the facial prominence presented at Orkut are probably related to both biological and cultural aspects.

A relação do beisebol e as drogas para aumento de desempenho esportivo

O beisebol que possui origens incertas apresenta um grande número de fãs espalhados pelo mundo todo, especialmente em países como Japão e os Estados Unidos, na América do Sul, há a Venezuela e a Colômbia que se destacam no cenário internacional pelo número de atletas em ligas espalhadas pelo mundo. O Brasil apresenta três jogadores atuando na liga americana de beisebol (MLB) atualmente, e no país ainda falta a criação de uma liga forte para o desenvolvimento do esporte. As drogas para aumento de desempenho esportivo presente quase que maciçamente no beisebol, durante a era dos esteróides, período do final dos anos 80 até o começo dos anos 2000, levou a mudanças em sua política antidrogas, principalmente na liga americana de beisebol, em uma busca para tornar o esporte limpo. O hormônio do crescimento e os esteróides anabólicos androgênicos foram as drogas mais consumidas pelos atletas durante a era dos esteróides, no qual não havia testes antidoping, e foi justamente nesse período que houve os maiores avanços nos números ofensivos do esporte, levantando suspeitas sobre as conquistas dos jogadores. Os efeitos adversos e os objetivos dos jogadores de beisebol no uso das drogas para aumento de desempenho esportivo serão abordados, assim como as reações dos fãs ao doping no esporte. A metodologia foi feita através da revisão bibliográfica, no qual busquei na literatura existente, e também em websites, livros, revistas e documentários esportivos, dados que fornecem informações sobre as drogas para aumento esportivo relacionadas ao beisebol, no período de setembro de 2014 a setembro de 2015

Desempenho de caprinos de três genótipos recebendo somatotropina bovina recombinante (rbST)

Forty-three animals of three genotypes, wich 13 Alpine (8 males and 5 females), 9 ½ Boer + ½ Alpine (4 males and 5 females) e 21 ¾ Boer + ¼ Alpine (11 males and 10 females), wich 21 received rbST and 22 control.The growth hormone used was the bovine recombinant somatotropin (rbST) and the animals of treatment 1 received the hormone in the adjusted amount from 0,3 mg/kg of live weight in intervals of 14 days. Animals of treatment 2 (control) had received saline solution in the same dosage and interval. There was no influence of the recombinant bovine somatotropin in the evaluated characteristics of performance. Males had been higher to females in weight gain of application of hormone to 120 days of age, as well as in daily average weight gain of 60 to 90, 90 to 120 and of application to 120 days of age. Weight to 90 and 120 days of age of females had been smaller in relation to males.

Diâmetro folicular e taxa de prenhez em protocolo de sincronização com GnRH ou Benzoato de Estradiol no dia 0 em vacas de corte

This work aimed to evaluate the pregnancy rate and follicular diameter using EB or GnRH on the insertion of progesterone implant (D0) in lactating beef cows. Two groups were tested in two experiments. In Exp. 1 were used 61 Nelore cows divided into two groups: G-BE (n = 32) and G-GnRH (n = 29), on D0 was inserted P4 implant (CIDR ) and applied 2 mL of BE (G-BE) or 2.5 mL GnRH (G-GnRH). In D9 was performed ultrasonography (U.S.) to measure the diameter of the dominant follicle (DF) present in the ovary and the implant was removed, with concomitant administration of 2.5 mL of PGF2a and estradiol cypionate (ECP ) followed by calves removal. After 48 hours all the cows were inseminated and the calves returned. In Exp. 2 50 cows were used following the same protocol described above, but the pregnancy was assessed without performing ovarian US. There was no difference (p>0.05) in pregnancy rate between treatments, BE (55%) or GnRH (41%), but the follicular diameter was significantly higher (p<0.05) in pregnant cows treated with EB (10.7 mm vs. 8.5 mm) and in cows treated with GnRH there was no difference (p>0.05) between pregnant and no pregnant cows (11.6 mm vs. 10.2 mm). We concluded the use of GnRH on D0 did not improve the pregnancy rate in lactating beef cows and follicular diameter was greater (p <0.05) in pregnant cows compared to non-pregnant only in G-BE.

Atuação do interferon-tau no reconhecimento materno da gestação

Maternal recognition of pregnancy is a process by which the conceptus signals its presence to the mother in order to prolong the life of the corpus luteum (CL) thus maintaining the pregnancy. This process occurs between days 15 and 19 after fertilization and is the most important biological challenge for obtaining satisfactory reproductive indices in bovine. Interferon-tau (IFN-τ) glycoprotein -secreted in the uterus by the conceptus- has a paracrine action inhibiting the expression of estrogen receptors (ESR1) and oxytocin (OXTR) in the endometrium, thus preventing the release of luteolytic pulses of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α), hormone responsible for the onset of luteolysis. IFN-τ also increases the expression of several interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in the uterus, CL, and blood cells. Direct endocrine action of IFN-τ on extrauterine tissues stimulates ISGs expression, which in the corpus luteum seems to be involved with luteal resistance to luteolytic action of PGF2α. This review discusses recent findings on the luteolysis mechanism in the bovine and endocrine and paracrine mechanisms such as IFN-τ during the maternal recognition of pregnancy.
