Escravidão negra em Belém: mercado, trabalho e liberdade (1810-1850)

Entre os anos de 1810 e 1850, a presença de trabalhadores escravos em Belém era significativa. Em termos demográficos, essa população representava quase metade da população da cidade, formada pelas freguesias urbanas da Sé e Campina. A presente dissertação analisa a escravidão em Belém, a partir de diversos aspectos como o tráfico, a procedência e/ou origem geográfica e étnica dos cativos, a demografia e as cores, mercado e a mobilidade cativa, o controle social e a liberdade escrava, permeados por acontecimentos sociais, políticos e econômicos ocorridos no Brasil e no Grão-Pará, no período em questão, tais como a chegada da família real e a abertura dos portos, a independência, a Cabanagem e a promulgação das leis anti-tráfico de 1815, 1831 e 1850. Narrativas de viajantes estrangeiros, jornais, inventários post-mortem, relatórios de governo, códigos de posturas e ações de liberdade são algumas das fontes utilizadas para construção do cenário: a Belém da primeira metade do século XIX, e para conhecimento da atuação de nossos atores: os trabalhadores escravos.

O setor de venture capital, as startups e o empreendedorismo em Israel, nos anos recentes

Some of the factors that help to explain the Israeli success case on promoting high-tech start-ups backed by venture capital funds can be found in the risk-taking culture of the country, the vast technological know-how associated with the huge military development, the high offer of human intellectual capital due to the immigration processes, and finally also the FDI inflows, mainly from the United States. Even though, these factors would not have the same effects in the economy unless the right structures were founded by the public-private sectors partnerships for the high-tech industry development and the adaptation of the investment industry surpasses two of the deepest global financial crisis: the dot-com bubble in the 2000’s and the subprime in 2008

Valores hematológicos de morcegos hematófagos Desmodus rotundus (E. Geoffroy, 1810) mantidos em cativeiro

Hematological values from captive vampire bats Desmodus rotundus (E. Geoffroy, 1810). Desmodus rotundus is one of the hematophagous bat species that are responsible for significant losses to livestock and has important involvement on public health. The great interest on this bat species made it becomes the target of many investigations a required its maintenance in laboratories. Similarly to others mammals, hematological evaluation has been utilized to assess the health and morbidity state of bats, however there are scarce studies with captive bats. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that is possible to feed the vampire bat D. rotundus with frozen blood treated with citrate during a long captivity period without hematological dyscrasias. Therefore, complete blood count was performed monthly from 15 adult females kept for 345 days in cages and fed with frozen blood added to citrate. The erythrocyte concentration (9.02 ± 1.43 x1012/L), PCV (0.47 ± 0.08 L/L) and hemoglobin (163.9 ± 31.5 g/L) obtained from free-living bats (immediately after capture) were lower or similar to those obtained after 345 days of captivity, presenting erythrocytes’ count of 11.01 ± 0.82 x1012/L, packed cell volume of 0.50 ± 0.05 L/L and hemoglobin level of 158 ± 10.1 g/L. The total white blood cell (11.09 ± 6.07 x109 /L) and segmented neutrophil counts (9.85 ± 3.5 x109 /L) of free living D. rotundus decreased significantly after 345 days of captivity, with values of 3.98 ± 1.98 and 1.87 ± 978.6 x109 /L respectively, which are similar to bats from temperate regions in hibernation period. This study proved that is possible to feed D. rotundus for long periods of captivity with citrated blood without the occurrence of anemia, erythrocyte or other hematologic dyscrasia

Nationen och hans hustru : Feminism och nationalism i Israel med fokus på Miriam Kainys dramatik

The aim of this thesis is to elucidate the tension between feminism and nationalism in Israel and to investigate the ways by which such discursive currents mark the identities of Israeli women. The specific field of investigation is Israeli theatre, and the identities examined are dramatic characters created by the Israeli playwright Miriam Kainy. Also examined is the character of the playwright herself. Theatre is being observed as a specific field of society in which the position of women can be clarified. What kind of women characters the Israeli theatre produces is therefore a leading question for this study. Feminist theories, focusing on gender aspects of power relations, together with the postcolonial perspective, which considers power relations by focusing on ethnicity and geopolitical aspects, provide the theoretical tools. The social constructionist viewpoint is used since it provides an appropriate understanding of important notions for the thesis, such as nation and identity, considering them as constructions created by discourse. The discourses focused upon are the national v. the feminist discourse and theatre is viewed as a discourse mediator, which is why the dramatic text is the object of the analysis. The specific method of analysis is inspired by Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The main part of the thesis consists of a discursive analysis of five women characters, constructed within a period of about five decades, namely between the 1950s and 1990s. Each one of these characters consists of an articulation which is considered representative of a specific time-relevant discursive struggle between the two discourses in question. One of the central assumptions of the thesis is that the Israeli national identity is thoroughly masculine. The identity problems it has been causing Israeli women since the time of the pioneers until today are clearly illuminated throughout the analysis. The conclusion emphasises that the subjectpositions being introduced by Israeli national discourse, namely the ways of being a New Jew, an Israeli, collide with those introduced by feminist discourse, i.e. ways of being an independent woman subject. Nevertheless, each and every character demonstrates creative ways of transforming the discourses by aiming at a hybrid formation.

La estrategia diplomática-militar de España reflejada en la correspondencia extraoficial del Duque de Huéscar entre 1747 y 1748

[ES] En este artículo se pretende contribuir al conocimiento de los sucesos bélicos acaecidos en Génova durante la primavera de 1747, a través del intercambio de correspondencia inédita entre algunos de los principales aliados españoles de esta república, capitaneados por Carvajal y Ensenada que encontraron en don Fernando de Silva, duque de Huéscar (luego de Alba), el mejor enlace para la conformación de una red social que permitiera un conocimiento extraoficial que mejorara la capacidad de actuación a favor de los intereses de España en dicha república. Un análisis interpersonal de un hecho histórico que pone de manifiesto la «tensa relación» diplomática entre Francia y España, unidas por el Pacto de Familia de 1743 y que determinó las estrategias diplomáticas llevadas por ambos durante las negociaciones de la paz de Aquisgrán, que puso fin a la Guerra de Sucesión Austriaca.

Influenze ontogenetiche e ambientali sui fattori di condizione di Merluccius merluccius Linnaeus, 1758 (Pisces: Gadiformes) e Galeus melastomus Rafinesque, 1810 (Pisces: Carcharhiniformes): Implicazioni sulla gestione delle risorse

In ecologia della pesca, i fattori o indicatori della “condizione” di un organismo forniscono molte informazioni sulle caratteristiche di adattamento dei pesci all’ambiente e sul loro ruolo nell’ecosistema. La “condizione” include molte caratteristiche strutturali ed energetiche che possono variare in funzione dell’ontogenesi, del ciclo riproduttivo, ma anche in funzione delle caratteristiche dell’ambiente, incluso il grado di stress al quale è sottoposta una specie (es. la pressione di pesca). L’obiettivo del presente studio sperimentale è stato valutare eventuali differenze nell’abbondanza, nei parametri di popolazione, nella struttura demografica e negli indicatori di “condizione” di due specie, Merluccius merluccius (Pisces: Gadiformes) e Galeus melastomus (Pisces: Carcharhiniformes), in due diverse aree: Toscana settentrionale e meridionale, differenti per caratteristiche ambientali e pressione di pesca. Nella prima parte dell’analisi, sono stati confrontati gli indici di densità e biomassa, la struttura di taglia delle due popolazioni, su dati estratti dagli archivi storici delle campagne di pesca sperimentale MEDITS dal 1994 al 2013. Nella seconda parte dell’analisi invece, sono stati analizzati 1000 individui provenienti dalla campagna MEDITS 2014, integrati con campioni provenienti dallo sbarcato commerciale per il biennio 2014-2015. Gli individui di M. merluccius sono stati ripartiti in due classi di taglia (I = individui ≤ 18 cm LT; II = individui > 18 cm LT), quelli di G. melastomus in tre classi di taglia (I = individui ≤ 20 cm LT; II = individui 20 cm< x ≤ 35 cm LT; III= individui > 35 cm LT), suddivisi rispettivamente in 50 maschi e 50 femmine, per ogni classe. E’ stato condotto lo studio della crescita relativa attraverso l’analisi della relazione taglia/peso e lo studio della condizione tramite i seguenti indicatori: il fattore K di Fulton, l’indice epatosomatico (HSI) e l’indice gonadosomatico (GSI). I risultati di questa tesi hanno evidenziato differenze nei popolamenti, riconducibili alle diverse condizioni ambientali e alla pressione di pesca, tra le due aree indagate. L’area sud, interessata da un più intenso sforzo di pesca esercitato sui fondali della piattaforma e della scarpata continentale e da una morfologia del fondale differente, mostra una diversità in termini di crescita relativa e stato della “condizione”, che risulta più elevata in entrambe le specie, rispetto all’area settentrionale, caratterizzata invece da uno sforzo di pesca meno intenso, incentrato sull’ampia piattaforma continentale.
