Aspectos legais da morte

The present work intends to clarify and to enhance the legal aspects of the death for the physician. Physicians, as a result of normative attribution, and of the practical circumstances, normally, certify the death in proper document. The legal consequences of the death are focused, with its importance and correlation with the medical declaration of the death. The physician must be more conscientious of his professional act, and, therefore, be more diligent and always zealous with his practices, because of its effects.

Uma pesquisa sobre a opinião pública sobre incentivos financeiros para doação de óvulos no Brasil

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the opinions of the Brazilian population about incentives for oocyte donation. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive approach was used to consult the Brazilian public. The data collection involved the use of a structured questionnaire about legal and ethical issues surrounding oocyte donation. Individuals were randomly selected from the general population using different e-mail lists. Potential participants were contacted by e-mail and invited to participate in the study by completing an online web survey. Results: A total of 1,565 people completed the survey, including 1,284 women(82%) and 281 men(18%). Among the respondents, 1,309(83.6%) were university graduates, 1,033(66%) had a personal income ≥1,250 US dollars/month, 1,346(86%) considered themselves to be religious and 518 (33.1%) were health professionals. While many participants believed that women may donate their oocytes for altruistic reasons, the majority believed that a lack of oocyte donations is due to the prohibition of payments(64.3%) and that incentives would facilitate the decision to donate oocytes(84.7%). The majority of the participants(65.3%) agreed that a financial incentive(i.e., paying the donor) would be the most practical solution for increasing the number of oocyte donations. These results tended to be independent of gender, age, income, religion, education level and profession. Conclusion: While the Brazilian Federal Council of Medicine prohibits payments for oocyte donation, the majority of study participants had no objection to compensating oocyte donors. Moreover, most of the participants agreed that a financial incentive is the most practical solution to increasing the number of oocyte donations.

Sustainable production of biologically active molecules of marine based origin

The marine environment offers both economic and scientific potential which are relatively untapped from a biotechnological point of view. These environments whilst harsh are ironically fragile and dependent on a harmonious life form balance. Exploitation of natural resources by exhaustive wild harvesting has obvious negative environmental consequences. From a European industry perspective marine organisms are a largely underutilised resource. This is not due to lack of interest but due to a lack of choice the industry faces for cost competitive, sustainable and environmentally conscientious product alternatives. Knowledge of the biotechnological potential of marine organisms together with the development of sustainable systems for their cultivation, processing and utilisation are essential. In 2010, the European Commission recognised this need and funded a collaborative RTD/SME project under the Framework 7-Knowledge Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) Theme 2 Programme 'Sustainable culture of marine microorganisms, algae and/or invertebrates for high value added products'. The scope of that project entitled 'Sustainable Production of Biologically Active Molecules of Marine Based Origin' (BAMMBO) is outlined. Although the Union is a global leader in many technologies, it faces increasing competition from traditional rivals and emerging economies alike and must therefore improve its innovation performance. For this reason innovation is placed at the heart of a European Horizon 2020 Strategy wherein the challenge is to connect economic performance to eco performance. This article provides a synopsis of the research activities of the BAMMBO project as they fit within the wider scope of sustainable environmentally conscientious marine resource exploitation for high-value biomolecules. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Leitor em oposição: João Antônio e Noturno da Lapa

Este texto analisa algumas das marginálias de João Antônio realizadas na obra Noturno da Lapa, de Luís Martins, pertencente à sua biblioteca pessoal. A investigação sobre essas marcas de leitura somada a enunciados de João Antônio, proferidos em entrevistas, permite depreender elementos particulares da formação estética deste escritor. Os posicionamentos contrários à narrativa de Luís Martins revelam uma concepção de literatura fundamentada na necessidade de uma escrita atenta à realidade com uma evidente postura de contestação social. As marginálias focalizadas, além de atuarem como registros do ponto de vista estético de João Antônio, fornecem elementos explícitos do diálogo deste leitor com a obra e o contexto literário da época, conforme propõem os estudos de Mikhail Bakhtin sobre dialogismo. Este estudo contribui para sedimentar a importância deste tipo de objeto extraliterário como fonte hábil para se refletir sobre o pensamento e a formação estética de um escritor.

Neutrino mixing effects on the tau-neutrino mass limit

We point out that the usual experimental upper bounds on the ''tau-neutrino mass'' do not apply if neutrino mixing is considered. The suppression of the population of the tau decay spectrum near the end point, caused by mixing, may be compensated by an enhancement because of a resonant mechanism of hadronization. It is necessary therefore to analyze the whole spectrum to infer some limit to the '' tau-neutrino mass.'' We argue that, consequently, neutrino mixing evades the objection to interpret the KARMEN anomaly as a heavy sequential neutrino.
