Triterpene benzoates from the bark of Picramnia teapensis (Simaroubaceae)

Two new benzoic acid esters of triterpene alcohols [lup-20 (29)-en-28-oic acid 3 alpha, 7 beta -dibenzoate and 3 alpha -hydroxy-lup-20(29)-en-28-ic acid 7 beta -benzoate] were isolated from the stem bark of Picramnia teapensis Tul. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of spectral analyses. Other known compounds, beta -sitosterol, estigmasterol, lupeol and epilupeol, were identified in mixture by GC-MS. The triterpene esters have not shown in-vitro inhibitory effect on the growth of Leucoagaricus gongylophorus (Fisher), referred also as Leucocoprinus gongylophorus (Heim), syn Rozites gongylophora (Moller), the symbiotic fungus cultivated by the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens L.

Self-supported silver nanoparticles containing bacterial cellulose membranes

Hydrated bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes obtained from cultures of Acetobacter xylinum were used in the preparation of silver nanoparticles containing cellulose membranes. In situ preparation of Ag nanoparticles was achieved from the hydrolytic decomposition of silver triethanolamine (TEA) complexes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns both lead to the observation of spherical metallic silver particles with mean diameter of 8 nm well adsorbed onto the BC fibriles.

Taxonomic status of the genus Sotalia: Species level ranking for tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis) and costero (Sotalia guianensis) dolphins

Dolphins of the genus Sotalia are found along the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts of Central and South America and in the Amazon River and most of its tributaries. At present, the taxonomy of these dolphins remains unresolved. Although five species were described in the late 1800s, only one species is recognized currently (Sotalia fluviatilis) with two ecotypes or subspecies, the coastal subspecies (Sotalia fluviatilis guianensis) and the riverine subspecies (Sotalia fluviatilis fluviatilis). Recent morphometric analyses, as well as mitochondrial DNA analysis, suggested recognition of each subspecies as separate species. Here we review the history of the classification of this genus and present new genetic evidence from ten nuclear and three mitochondrial genes supporting the elevation of each subspecies to the species level under the Genealogical/Lineage Concordance Species Concept and the criterion of irreversible divergence. We also review additional evidence for this taxonomic revision from previously published and unpublished genetic, morphological, and ecological studies. We propose the common name costero for the coastal species, Sotalia guianensis (Van Beneden 1864), and accept the previously proposed tucuxi dolphin, Sotalia fluviatilis (Gervais, 1853), for the riverine species.

Significados da reforma agrária em bairros periféricos de Presidente Prudente (SP): uma tentativa de diálogo entre a luta pela Terra e a soberania alimentar

La lucha por la tierra en el Brasil se confunde con la própria historia del país, erigida sobre una cuestión agraria turbulenta en la cual ha predominado la hegemonía de los grandes proprietarios de tierra, tanto en la forma de latifundistas, cuanto, más recientemente, de los empresarios del agribusiness, caracterizando una versión más moderna de la dominación de la lógica del capital en detrimento de las demás formas de organización de la vida. A partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, ocurre un aguzamiento de los conflictos por la tierra con la emergencia de los principales movimientos sociales en Brasil, como el MST. Esos movimientos surgen en un contexto de transformación de la formación socioespacial brasileña, marcada por la creciente urbanización del país, lo que repercute em las sus formas de organización, pasando a comparecer una preocupación con la población urbana en las discusiones y acciones en pro de la Reforma Agraria. Yuxtaponiendo-se a eso proceso, también ha emergido fortemiente en las últimas décadas la problemática de la hambre en el mundo, tanto a través de los dados alarmantes de los organismos supranacionales (FAO), como del debate impulsado por los movimientos sociales acerca de la Soberanía Alimentaria (Via Campesina). Todos esos elementos merecen atención em esto trabajo, que busca aprehender cómo se efectiva la participación de barrios de la periferia pobre de la ciudad de Presidente Prudente/SP en el proceso de lucha por la tierra en el Pontal del Paranapanema, haciendo eso por lo medio de una lectura geográfica de esa realidad que prime por la superación analítica de la disociación entre ciudad y campo, como se fueran espacios inertes entre sí. Además, es nuestro objetivo destacar las motivaciones que llevan los sujetos protagonistas de eso proceso a dejaren la ciudad y adhieriren a la lucha por la tierra, permitiendo identificar elementos que extrapolan la esfera económico-material

Ações educativas para o controle de vetores da dengue e leishmaniose visceral

Results of educative actions on the control of vectors for dengue and leishmaniasis were evaluated by using an online semi-present course directed to teachers from Fundamental I Education level in Araçatuba-SP. 40 teachers from municipal schools located on geographical areas of town with higher occurrence of dengue and leishmaniasis cases, attended to the course, which consisted in a conceptual part directed to specific subjects such as vector borne and zoonotic diseases, responsible ownership of pets and health education and a practical phase, directed to execution and application of educative projects in the target schools. Data about the teacher’s specific knowledge, before and after the attendance to the course, were submitted to the Wilcoxon test with a 5% of significant level. The application of practical educative projects was evaluated by multiplicative actions involving target public. Tests showed statistically significant increase in the knowledge about the studied diseases (p<0.0001) after the course, especially on questions related to etiological agent, clinical symptoms on man and animals and prevention. Activities of knowledge multiplication envolved teachers and students which detected the problems and promoted education actions in their neighborhood as stage performing, group cleaning activities and elaboration and distribution of folders during a student pared. In conclusion, educative actions direct to the control of diseases vectors using a semi-present course, provides new knowledge to the teachers, impelling them to motivate their students to adopt vectors control measures and environmental cares and to sensitive the community to collaborate with control diseases.
