Composição em aminoácidos de silagens químicas, biológicas e enzimáticas preparadas com resíduos de sardinha

Determinou-se a composição em aminoácidos de silagens químicas, biológicas e enzimáticas elaboradas com resíduos de sardinha. Entre os aminoácidos essenciais a leucina apresentou valores mais altos para todas as silagens, a saber, em g/100g de proteína, 8,31 (química); 8,33 (protease 1 semana); 8,42 (pepsina), e 8,06 (inóculo L. plantarum + melaço 2 semanas), seguida pela lisina 6,46; 6,50 6,45, e 9,01; a fenilalanina com 5,32; 5,35 e 5,25 e 5,18. Destaque especial para o aumento na concentração de valina no decorrer do processo de ensilagem passando de 4,80 g/100g de proteína na matéria-prima para 7,67 na silagem química (3 semanas); 6,26 na silagem com meio inóculo de L.plantarum + melaço (48 horas); 6,27 na silagem protease (1 semana) e 6,02 na silagem pepsina (2 semanas). A maior concentração de aminoácidos encontrados foi para o ácido glutâmico, que apresentou teor inicial de 15,20g/100g de proteína e posteriormente 14,02 na silagem química após 1 semana; 14,89 na silagem enzimática com protease (1 semana) e 17,09 na silagem biológica com meio inóculo L.plantarum + melaço após 48 horas.

Caracterização morfológica de unidades de dispersão de cinco espécies ornamentais

A caracterização morfológica de unidades de dispersão é importante para auxiliar na identificação de uma espécie botânica e são poucos os trabalhos que descrevem as sementes das espécies ornamentais, sejam elas árvores, arbustos ou plantas herbáceas. As plantas ornamentais distinguem-se pela duração do florescimento, pela forma e pelo colorido das folhas, das flores e das inflorescências, bem como, pela aparência e arquitetura da planta. Sementes, como a maioria das estruturas reprodutivas, são relativamente estáveis, não variam muito com as condições ambientais, e sua organização básica interna somente varia levemente entre espécies e gêneros relacionados e as diferenças que existem podem ser estimadas como significativas filogeneticamente e ser usadas na identificação taxonômica. O objetivo do trabalho foi ilustrar e descrever as características externas e internas das unidades de dispersão, tais como a forma, o tipo, o tamanho e a posição do embrião em relação ao tecido de reserva, permitindo uma identificação mais segura de duas espécies de plantas arbóreas, a murta-branca (Allophyllus edulis (St.Hil.) Radlk - Sapindaceae) e a eritrina-candelabro (Erythrina speciosa Andrews - Fabaceae-Papilionoideae), usadas na arborização urbana; duas plantas herbáceas, a alstroeméria (Alstoemeria psittacina Lehm. - Amaryllidaceae) e frésia ou frísia (Freesia refracta Klatt. - Iridaceae) e um arbusto florífero, a esponjinha-vermelha ou caliandra (Calliandra tweedii Benth. - Fabaceae-Mimosoideae).

Influência da embalagem e do armazenamento na qualidade sanitária de sementes de arroz

O presente trabalho foi conduzido no Laboratório de Patologia de Sementes do Centro de Fitossanidade (área de Fitopatologia) do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas (IAC), tendo como objetivo avaliar a qualidade sanitária de sementes de arroz, em dois tipos de embalagem (sacos de papel multifoliado e de plástico trançado), durante 12 meses de armazenamento (junho de 1996 a junho de 1997), em condições de ambiente natural de Campinas, SP. As sementes foram avaliadas no início e a cada dois meses. O experimento foi analisado estatísticamente pelo delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em parcelas subdivididas no tempo, com quatro repetições. Os principais fungos detectados nos lotes de sementes de arroz foram: Pyricularia grisea, Bipolaris oryzae, Fusarium spp., Phoma spp., em pequenas porcentagens Curvularia spp., Cladosporium spp., Alternaria spp. e os fungos de armazenamento Penicillium spp. e Aspergillus spp. Durante o período de armazenamento, não houve diferença significativa na sanidade das sementes para as embalagens de papel multifoliado e plástico trançado. A incidência dos fungos Penicillium spp. e Aspergillus spp., aumentou durante o armazenamento.As sementes de arroz apresentaram boa armazenabilidade nas condições de Campinas, SP, devido a baixa umidade relativa do ar e o clima seco.

Letter - E.C. Schmon to Arthur A. Schmon, 31 May 1918

The letter reads: " Darling Artie, I have just been reading the war news and Oh! how terribly discouraging it is. This mornings paper says the allies have yieldes on a forty-mile front, that Soissons had been taken by the Germans and Rheims is in grave peril and may fall at any moment. And think - only the third day of the new drive, too. I know that everything will end all right, but it surely has an awful affect on you, to read these reports. Of course no one knows, but it is the opinion of people in military circles here, that the war will last two years more at least; and in all probability five or six. Cheerful prospects. Yes? So you see, Artie dear, that you must come home on a leave, the very first opportunity you have. Understand? I am going down to Red Cross now, to do a little work. Tonight Mrs. Mizger, Doris and the two Braun girls are coming down. They want to see the rest of the pretty things that are in our sacred chest, and I just love to them, too. There are days when I have them out three or four times and I picture each thing in our little nest - after the war is over - - (Joy!!) Au revoir, honey-bunch boy. All the love, hugs and kisses that you desire. Always your, Wifie. P.S. And still no mail. Boo! Hoo! L."

El otro, el cine y el intelectual : Víctor Gaviria, el poder de la imagen cinematográfica

Dans une société médiatique on ne peut pas définir l’intellectuel comme une personne qui simplement travaille avec les lettres; on doit le définir plutôt comme une personne qui utilise d’autres moyens de communication en cherchant la meilleure façon de critiquer la société. En regardant la problématique de la définition de l’intellectuel dans la société médiatique on étudie dans ce mémoire les films Rodrigo D. No futuro et La Vendedora de Rosas réalisés dans les bidonvilles de Medellin par le directeur colombien Víctor Gaviria. Dans les films on peut voir la vie de jeunes garçons et des enfants pour qui la réalité est faite de drogue et de pauvreté. L’étude s’étend sur trois chapitres : Dans le premier on examine l’ensemble socio-historique dans lequel les films ont été réalisés et aussi on examine le concept de « sicariato » qui a été utilisé dans des études scientifiques et des romans. Le second chapitre porte sur la problématique de la définition de l’intellectuel et sur le processus de création de Víctor Gaviria, appelé « Voluntad Realista ». Dans le troisième chapitre on examine le manifeste écrit par Víctor Gaviria « Las Latas en el fondo del río » dans le contexte historique du troisième cinéma latino-americain, dont les cinéastes ont écrit des manifestes semblables.

Désir d'enfant, procréation médicalement assistée et adoption : réflexion sur la définition des liens de parenté

Le contexte social dans lequel s’inscrivent le désir d’enfant et la procréation en Occident s’est profondément transformé au cours des dernières décennies. Après l’introduction de la contraception et l’augmentation du nombre d’enfants nés hors mariage, le développement des nouvelles techniques reproductives et de l’adoption, notamment l’adoption internationale, ont à leur tour contribué à la transformation des cadres dans lesquels s’inscrivent les relations de parenté et la formation des familles. À partir de l’étude de témoignages de couples québécois dont les échecs successifs en procréation médicalement assistée (PMA) ont mené à la décision d’adopter, cette thèse interroge les multiples dimensions qu’implique un tel type de trajectoire. Sur le plan social, tant la procréation médicalement assistée que l’adoption nécessitent l’intervention d’une tierce partie pour concrétiser et faire reconnaître l’établissement du lien filiatif, soit la médecine dans le cas de la PMA et celle des autorités juridiques et gouvernementales dans le cas de l’adoption. Les deux phénomènes mettent également en scène des situations et des enjeux hautement révélateurs des valeurs et des représentations collectives en matière de parenté et de famille. D’un premier abord, le type de parcours étudié semble illustrer le passage entre deux sphères complètement distinctes: celle de la nature et du biologique incarnée par la PMA et celle de la culture et du lien social incarnée par l’adoption. Or, l’étude des trajectoires des participants donne à voir une situation beaucoup plus complexe où s’entremêlent un ensemble d’explications et de facteurs relatifs au désir d’enfant, à la famille, à la parentalité qui ne font sens qu’une fois replacés dans le contexte des grandes tendances sociales et idéologiques qui traversent notre société. Plus globalement, les analyses proposées dans cette thèse participent au développement d’une anthropologie de la parenté qui tienne compte des dynamiques et des tensions qui touchent la famille moderne.
