Os missionários protestantes presbiterianos que vieram para o Brasil no início da segunda metade do século XIX trouxeram uma interpretação calvinista da bíblia, pois permaneceram fieis à formação princetoniana que efetivou uma síntese entre ortodoxia calvinista e pietismo. Estes pricetonianos tinham como base epistemológica a filosofia de Thomas Reid, conhecida como o Realismo do Senso Comum. Essa filosofia é utilizada como uma epistemologia reformada, ou calvinista. Ela é compreendida em sua formação escocesa e consequentemente americana, via Princeton, como a Epistemologia Providencial. Desta forma, quando ela é assimilada pelos brasileiros por meio da pregação e da formação teológica, a mesma se torna parte do perfil presbiteriano brasileiro como doutrina filosófica. A Filosofia do Senso Comum se gesta como crítica à filosofia empirista de David Hume que, para Reid, convergiria para um possível aniquilamento da religião e para uma visão pessimista da ciência, afetando o empirismo, por conseguinte, causando uma nova formulação mais próxima do ceticismo. Por isso, Reid formulou a filosofia que para ele contrapõe-se a Locke e Berkeley e depois a David Hume, afirmando que a realidade é independente de nossa apreensão. Ou seja, na percepção do mundo exterior não há interferência do sujeito cognoscente sobre o objeto do conhecimento. A nossa relação com os objetos é direta e não deve ser desvirtuada por intermediações. Na implantação do protestantismo no Brasil, via missionários de Princeton, não houve uma defesa intransigente dos princípios calvinistas por parte de missionários como Fletcher e Simonton e sim uma continuidade da leitura das escrituras sagradas pelo viés calvinista, como era feito no Seminário de Princeton. Não havia uma ênfase acentuada na defesa da ortodoxia porque o tema do liberalismo teológico, ou do conflito entre modernismo e fundamentalismo não se fazia necessário na conjuntura local, onde predominava a preocupação pela evangelização em termos práticos. O conceitos da Filosofia do Senso Comum eram próximos do empirismo mitigado de Silvestre Pinheiro e do Ecletismo de Victor Cousin. Por isso, no Brasil, o local em que mais se vê a utilização da filosofia do Senso Comum é nos debates entre intelectuais, em três pontos interessantes: 1ª) O Senso Comum ficou restrito ao espaço acadêmico, na formação de novos pastores, sendo que as obras de Charles Hodge e A. A. Hodge são as principais fontes de implantação desta mentalidade ratificadora da experiência religiosa e, desta forma, delineiam o rosto do protestantismo entre presbiterianos, uma das principais denominações protestantes do final do século XIX; 2ª) Nos debates entre clérigos católicos e protestantes em polêmicas teológicas;. 3º) No aproveitamento utilitarista da assimilação cultural estrangeira pelos protestantes nacionais, não por último, facilitada pela simpatia dos liberais brasileiros pelo protestantismo, ao mesmo tempo que mantinham uma linha filosófica mais próxima do empirismo mitigado e do ecletismo. Assim, nossa hipótese pretende demonstrar que os protestantes trouxeram em seu bojo as formulações epistemológicas que foram passadas para um grupo de intelectuais, que formaram o quadro dos primeiros pastores presbiterianos da história desta denominação. Eles foram convertidos e assimilaram melhor as novas doutrinas por meio de mais do que simples pregações, mas pela sua forma filosófica de encarar os objetos estudados, e que tais informações vêm por meio da base epistemológica do Realismo do Senso Comum, que encontra espaço nos ideais republicanos brasileiros do século XIX.

Periodontal diseases, highly prevalent disease in worldwide population, manifest primarily in two distinct entities: plaque-induced gingivitis and periodontitis. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized of different levels of collagen, cementum, and alveolar bone destruction. Recent experimental studies demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antirreabsortive effect of antihypertensive agents of the angiotensin II receptor blockers class on periodontal disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of azilsartan (AZT), a potent inhibitor of the angiotensin II receptor which has minimal adverse effects on bone loss, inflammation, and the expression of matrix metallo proteinases (MMPs), receptor activator of nuclear factor kB ligand (RANKL), receptor activator of nuclear factor kB (RANK), osteoprotegerin (OPG), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and cathepsin K in periodontal tissue in a rat model of ligature-induced periodontitis. Male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 5 groups of 20 rats each: (1) nonligated, water; (2) ligated, water; (3) ligated, 1 mg/kg AZT; (4) ligated, 5 mg/kg AZT; and (5) ligated, 10 mg/kg AZT. All groups were treated with water or AZT for 10 days. Periodontal tissues were analyzed by morphometric exam, histopathology and immunohistochemical detection of MMP-2, MMP-9, COX-2, RANKL, RANK, OPG, and cathepsin K. Levels of IL-1b, IL-10, TNF-a, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and glutathione (GSH) were determined by ELISA. Treatment with 5 mg/kg AZT resulted in reduced MPO (p˂0.05) and IL-1b (p˂0.05) levels and increased in Il-10 levels (p˂0.05). It was observed a reduced expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, COX-2, RANK, RANKL, cathepsin K, and a increased expression of OPG in the animals subjected to experimental periodontitis and threated with AZT (5 mg/kg). Conclusions: These findings suggest an anti-inflammatory and anti-reabsortive effects of AZT on ligature-induced periodontitis in rats.

A periodontite é uma doença crônica inflamatória mediada por marcadores inflamatórios, tais como as citocinas: IL-1β, IL-10 e TNF-α, que provoca a destruição dos tecidos gengivais e osso alveolar, causando perda de inserção dentária e posterior perda dental. A perda óssea é causada pela ativação de prostaglandinas oriundas do ácido araquidônico, através da ação da enzima ciclooxigenase 2 (COX-2), promovendo a liberação de enzimas proteolíticas, as metaloproteinases de matriz, principalmente a MMP-2 e MMP-9, que promovem reabsorção óssea. Além disso, ocorre o desequilíbrio entre a ação de RANKL e OPG, havendo uma maior ativação de RANKL, e por consequência a maior ativação de osteoclastos e maior reabsorção óssea. Mediadores inflamatórios e espécies reativas de oxigênio (ROS) produzidos localmente possuem potencial para disseminar na corrente sanguínea e iniciar ou exacerbar doenças sistêmicas como as cardiovasculares. O tratamento atual da doença consiste em terapêutica local, mas a necessidade de estudos sobre fármacos de atuação sistêmica culminou nesta pesquisa, que realizou a avaliação dos fármacos: atorvastatin, carvedilol, olmesartan e telmisartan, quanto a sua ação anti-inflamatória sobre a doença periodontal induzida por ligadura em ratos Wistar. Os animais foram divididos em 5 grupos, para cada fármaco, separadamente: (NL) grupo não ligado, (L) grupo ligado sem tratamento, (1mg/Kg) grupo ligado que recebeu dose de 1mg/Kg de fármaco, (5 ou 6 mg/Kg) grupo ligado que recebeu dose de 5 ou 6 mg/Kg de fármaco, (10 mg/Kg) grupo ligado que recebeu dose de 10mg/Kg de fármaco. Foram realizadas avaliações: histopatológica, perda óssea alveolar, imuno-histoquímica (para COX-2, MMP-2, MMP-9, RANK-L, RANK e OPG), e ELISA (para mieloperoxidase, glutationa, malonaldeído e as citocinas: IL-1β, IL-10 e TNF-α). Os grupos tratados com olmesartana a 6 mg/Kg, e atorvastatin, carvedilol e telmisartan a 10mg/Kg, mostraram diminuição da perda óssea, redução de: MPO, MDA, IL-1β, TNF-α, MMP-2, MMP-9, COX-2, RANKL/RANK, e aumento na expressão da OPG e da IL-10.

Except the non-melanoma skin tumors, colorectal cancer is the second most common in the Southeastern Region of Brazil, the third most common in the Southern and Central Regions. It is also the forth most common in the Northern Region and it is the fifth one in the Northeastern. To assess pathological and clinical variables of colorectal Cancer is crucial to know the possible conclusions for the survival of patients and point out the characteristics in the progress of tumor, such as the profile of tumor invasion and its angiogenesis. This work focuses on analyzing clinically and pathologically some settings in colorectal cancer patients (CRC) in the city of Natal and its countryside through those variables as parameters of prognosis and determine the level of protein expression, for instance: E-cadherin (E-cad), beta- -catenin (β-cat), galectin-3 (gal-3), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 2 and 9 and vascular-endothelial growth factor alpha (α VEGF) in the tumor tissues. A retrospective study was done in colorectal cancer cases in the regions of Rio Grande do Norte state from 1995 to 2005, specifically in Natal city/RN/Brazil. The pathological and clinical variables, such as: age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle, family history, the location of the primary tumor, level of differentiation, TDM staging, modified Dukes’, treatment and survival were analyzed. The pathological and clinical data were collected from medical records through a specific form and were filed on Excel. A total of 534 patients were selected from the Pathology Department file in this institution, however, 176 patients were excluded. 358 patients were included for Epidemiological analysis and its clinical and pathological correlations were selected. 180 patients were also selected for histological and immunohistochemical studies. The tumor progression of these selected proteins mentioned before were analyzed. The Paraffin blocks of these samples were treated by Microarray Tissue technique and its blades subjected to immunohistochemistry to test the intensity of these proteins in tumor tissues. The results of this analysis were correlated with clinicopathologic variables of patients. Statistical analysis using the chi-frame Pearson test and analysis of midlife by Kaplan-Meier curve was also utilized. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The average age of our sample was 58.8 years and 51.7 % were female. Alcohol consumption has increased by 1.71 time the risk of death by CCR (p = 0.034) and tobacco consumption increased 2.7 times the chance of developing tumors of high TNM stage (p = 0.001). Cancer patients had a family history of 3,833 times the chance of developing the CCR (p = 0.002). The expression of MMP-2 showed a significant association with tumors of high TNM stage (p <0.046) and mortality (p = 0.041). The α VEGF expression had statistically significant correlation with high TNM stage (p <0.009), degree of cell indifferentiation (p <0.025) and mortality (p <0.035). Expressions of E-cadherin and beta-catetina demonstrated tumor linked to high TNM stage (p = 0.0001) and Dukes› modified (p = 0.05), lesions in the rectum (p = 0.03 and p = 0.007, respectively), smoking (p = 0.05) and indifferentiation (p = 0.001). The expression of Gal-3 showed statistical significance with high TNM stage of patients (p = 0.01), smokers (p = 0.01), alcohol drinking (p = 0.03), indifferentiation (p = 0.0001) and mortality (p = 0.0001). Based on the results, therefore, we could realize that lifestyle and family history had correlation in the CCR prognosis, as well as MMP-2 expression, MMP-9, VEGF alpha, E-cadherin, Beta-catenin and Galectin-3 were important prognostic markers in tumor progression in colorectal cancer.

He was obtained and studied the feasibility of using TPA (Tissue Cotton Plan) screen type, for bagging, with a weight of 207.9 g / m2 in a composite of orthophthalic crystal polyester resin matrix. The process for obtaining the composite was tested against the maximum number of layers that could be used without compromising the processability and manufacturing of CPs in compression mold. Five configurations / formulations were selected and tested at 1, 4, 8, 10 and 12 layers of cotton tissue - TPA. TPA was not subjected to chemical treatment, only by passing a mechanical washing process. The composite in its various configurations / formulations was characterized to determine its physical properties. The properties of the composite were higher viability resistance to bending, approaching the matrix and impact resistance, superiority in relation to the polyester resin. Another property that has shown good result compared to other composite has water absorption. Analyzing all the properties set the settings / formulations with higher viability were TA8 and TA10, by combining good processability and higher mechanical strength, with lower loss compared to polyester resin matrix. The composite showed lower mechanical behavior of the resin matrix for all the formulations studied except the impact resistance. The SEM showed a good adhesion between the layers of TPA and polyester resin matrix, without the presence of micro voids in the matrix confirming the efficient manufacturing process of the samples for characterization. The composite proposed proved to be viable for the fabrication of structures with low requests from mechanical stresses, and as demonstrated for the manufacture of solar and wind prototypes, and packaging, shelving, decorative items, crafts and shelves, with good visual appearance.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The study of biological behavior of odontogenic lesions is essential to the establishment of appropriate therapeutic approach and prognosis. The production of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), angiogenesis and cell proliferation contribute to tumor growth. This paper aims to review the literature on odontogenic tumors (OT) selected according to the new World Health Organization classification (WHO- 2005) by evaluating the expression of MMPs, angiogenic and cell proliferation. Furthermore, it aims to verify the relation between these markers and the biological behavior of these lesions. RESULTS: it was found that MMPs -1, -2, -7, -9 and -26 had a higher expression in both epithelial component and stroma, and 13 particularly in the stroma. Increased angiogenesis was observed in more aggressive OT. CD105 expression was higher in keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KOT) and CD34 in solid ameloblastomas (SA). It was observed a higher expression of Ki-67 and p53 in SA and KOT and a low cell proliferation rate in the adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT). CONCLUSION: These results show that MMPs are involved in invasion and recurrence of some odontogenic lesions and are associated with the biological behavior of these tumors. Angiogenesis is critical to provide support to cell proliferation and these concomitant events are correlated with different levels of biological behavior in OT when compared to odontogenic cysts, hence the use of angiogenic inhibitors may be a potential therapeutic approach in these lesions.

The feasibility of using the corn cob to obtain a polymer matrix composite was studied. To obtain the bran, corncob passed the drying process in a solar dryer, and was subsequently triturated in forage and to obtain the different particle sizes, by sieving. Three different grain sizes were used: fine particles (FP) size between 0,10 and 2mm; sized particles (PM) with sizes between 2,10 and 3,35 mm; large particles (PG) sizes between 3,45 and 4,10 mm. Using 20% of residue relative to the resin, the test samples were constructed for characterization of the composite, taking into account thermal and mechanical parameters. The main advantage of the proposed composite is that it has a low density, below the relative resin, about 1.06 kg / m³ for the PG. The composite showed a mechanical behavior less than of the resin to the grain sizes and for all formulations studied. Showed better results for the bending, reaching 25.3 MPa for the PG. The composite also showed be feasible for thermal applications, with thermal conductivity less than 0.21 W / m, ranking as insulation. In terms of homogeneity of the mixture, the most viable grain size is the PF, which also showed improved aesthetics and better processability. This composite can be used to make structures that do not require significant mechanical strength, such as tables, chairs, planks, and solar and wind prototypes, such as ovens and cookers and turbines blades.

Composite materials arise from the need for lighter materials and with bigger mechanical and thermal resistance. The difficulties of discard, recycling or reuse are currently environmental concerns and, therefore, they are study object of much researches. In this perspective the feasibility of using loofahs (Luffa Cylindrica) for obtainment of a polymeric matrix composite was studied. Six formulations, with 4, 5 and 6 treated layers and untreated, were tested. The loofahs were treated in boiling water to remove lignins, waxes and impurities present in the fibers. After that, they were dried in a direct exposure solar dryer. For the characterization of the composite, thermal (thermal conductivity, thermal capacity, thermal diffusivity and thermal resistivity), mechanical (tensile and bending resistance) and physicochemical (SEM, XRD, density, absorption and degradation) properties were determined. The proposed composite has as advantage the low fiber density, which is around 0.66 g/cm³ (almost half of the polyester resin matrix), resulting in an average composite density of around 1.17g/cm³, 6.0 % lower in relation to the matrix. The treatment carried out in the loofahs increased the mechanical strength of the composite and decreased the humidity absorption. The composite showed lower mechanical behavior than the matrix for all the formulations. The composite also demonstrated itself to be feasible for thermal applications, with a value of thermal conductivity of less than 0.159 W/m.K, ranking it as a good thermal insulator. For all formulations/settings a low adherence between fibers and matrix occurred, with the presence of cracks, showing the fragility due to low impregnation of the fiber by the matrix. This composite can be used to manufacture structures that do not require significant mechanical strength, such as solar prototypes, as ovens and stoves.

O presente relatório surge no âmbito da realização do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e apresenta-se dividido em duas partes: a Parte I referente à dimensão reflexiva e a Parte II referente à dimensão investigativa. Na Parte I encontra-se uma reflexão crítica e fundamentada referente aos três contextos que vivenciei neste Mestrado: Creche, Jardim-de-Infância e 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, na qual pretendo evidenciar as experiências vividas em cada um desses contextos de Prática Pedagógica. Na Parte II apresenta-se a investigação realizada no contexto de Jardim-de-Infância, com crianças entre os três e os cinco anos de idade, que incide na temática do reconto. Este estudo apresenta um carácter qualitativo, do tipo estudo de casos, na medida em que se pretende analisar se as crianças destas idades reconstroem o esquema / gramática da narrativa, bem como, perceber se integram no reconto conhecimentos / vivências pessoais ou circunscrevem o mesmo à matriz textual, centrando-se, sobretudo, na descrição, interpretação e análise de dados. Os resultados deste estudo permitem concluir que as crianças apresentam dificuldades diferenciadas na reconstrução oral do esquema da narrativa, revelando uma tendência para circunscrever o reconto à matriz textual, suportado nas ilustrações e na narrativa ouvida.

Esta dissertação elaborada no âmbito do V Curso de Mestrado em Serviço Social da Escola Superior de Altos Estudos do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga, intitulada por “Formação de 1.º ciclo em Serviço Social após adequação ao Processo de Bolonha em Portugal” tem como principal objectivo analisar a formação académica em Serviço Social no 1.º Ciclo após o Processo de Bolonha em Portugal, nomeadamente a análise dos planos de estudos das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) com curso de Serviço Social, de natureza pública (universitário e politécnico), particular e cooperativa (universitário e politécnico) e concordatário. Os objectivos específicos desta investigação prendem-se com a identificação das posições tomadas por algumas organizações relativamente à adopção das orientações do Processo de Bolonha para a formação em Serviço Social, com o levantamento das Instituições de Ensino Superior com formação no 1.º Ciclo de Serviço Social em Portugal que efectuaram registo de adequação ao Processo de Bolonha, com a análise dos objectivos e saídas profissionais dos cursos de 1.º ciclo e com a análise dos planos de estudo na área cientifica de Serviço Social (componentes) e noutras áreas cientificas. Para atingir os objectivos partiu-se do pressuposto de que as vinte instituições que possuem o 1.º ciclo em Serviço Social iriam colaborar nesta investigação cedendo um conjunto de documentos solicitados. Tratando-se de uma pesquisa, recorreu-se a uma estratégia metodológica sobretudo de análise qualitativa (pesquisa bibliográfica e documental) e quantitativa (extensiva), na medida que se procurou abranger a totalidade dos cursos de 1.º ciclo em Serviço Social no país. Verificou-se que todo o processo de reestruturação dos cursos para adequação a Bolonha foi realizado sem directrizes comuns para a definição dos planos de estudos e neste sentido cada IES teve ampla autonomia para a adequação a Bolonha. Partindo da construção de uma matriz teórica e de um documento de referência para a formação académica em Serviço Social das organizações internacionais da profissão, verificou-se a existência de várias lacunas nos planos de estudo analisados. Neste sentido, um dos aspectos conclusivos desta investigação, prende-se com a necessidade de criação de formas de regulamentação da formação em Serviço Social, como por exemplo a criação de padrões comuns para os cursos de 1.º ciclo em Serviço Social.

Com o aumento da produção do fulereno C60 e sua aplicação comercial é previsível que este composto acabe sendo liberado no ambiente, tornando-se um contaminante. Em razão das suas características físico-químicas e sua capacidade de formar agregados (n-C60) quando em contato com a água, o C60 pode se tornar um carreador de outros contaminantes (como metais e compostos orgânicos), facilitando a sua entrada nos organismos. Neste sentido, a sua toxicidade (tanto de forma isolada como em associação com outros contaminantes) vem sendo avaliada. Sendo assim, a fim de viabilizar os estudos com C60, uma metodologia para preparo de suspensões aquosas foi validada, sendo quantificada por CLAE/UV-Vis. As suspensões foram preparadas sem a adição de solvente de duas formas distintas, com aquecimento (50ºC) e à temperatura ambiente (≈20 ºC), onde se mantiveram sob agitação constante e exposição à luz artificial por até 2 meses. A cada 15 dias a suspensão foi quantificada. Além disso, três métodos distintos de extração e pré-concentração (extração líquido-líquido (ELL), extração em fase sólida (EFS) e micro-extração dispersiva líquido-líquido (MEDLL)) foram validados e comparados quanto a sua eficiência. Coeficientes de correlação ≥ 0,99 foram obtidos para as curvas de calibração. Os LDM e LQM foram de 0,08 e 0,3 ng mL-1 para EFS e ELL, considerando o fator de concentração de 500 vezes, e de 0,8 e 3,0 ng mL-1 para a MEDLL, considerando o fator de concentração de 50 vezes, respectivamente. A precisão (intermediária e repetitividade) variou entre 0,46 e 4,03 (%RSDpi) e entre 0,69 e 3,59 (%RSDr), enquanto que a exatidão ficou entre 72,3 e 85,6% para ELL, 86,1 e 115,5% para a EFS e 87,9 e 111,4% para MEDLL. Com base nestes parâmetros relativos a análise de suspensões aquosas de C60, a EFS foi considerada o método mais eficiente. O aquecimento se mostrou relevante no tamanho dos agregados, que foram significativamente maiores na suspensão sem aquecimento, porém o tempo de preparo da suspensão não influenciou na concentração final da suspensão. Portanto, recomenda-se o preparo das suspensões aquosas de C60 sem aquecimento por um período de agitação de 30-45 dias.
