Parentesco, redes familiares y sociabilidad en el mundo hispanoamericano en los siglos XVIII y XIX

Hasta hace algunos años, el interés por la historia de la familia, aunque no era escaso, estaba orientado a enfoques de tipo macrohistórico, ya que el énfasis estaba puesto en las estructuras de la sociedad. La dominación de los planteamientos cuantitativistas impuestos por los Annales, así como la fuerte influencia del marxismo, coadyuvaron en la consideración de la familia, fio como objeto de investigación en sí misma, sino como expresión o ilustración de un funcionamiento económico social global.

O fabrico e uso da pólvora no Brasil colonial: o papel de alpoim na primeira metade do século XVIII

Gunpowder played a significant role in colonial Brazil. This reached a climax in the eighteenth century, when the country's large gold output enticed the greed of many. The French invasion of Rio de Janeiro in 1711 made the city's defense even more pressing to the metropolis. Brigadier Alpoim symbolized this reaction. He was a leading Luso-Brazilian engineer of that century, whose multiple activities set him apart in colonial life. These activities included a pioneer role in teaching the manufacture and use of gunpowder, about which he wrote extensively during the first half of the eighteenth century. His work is thus among the first to treat chemical technology in the colony at such an early age.

La Harmoniemusik : música per a conjunt de vents al llarg dels segles XVIII i XIX

La Harmoniemusik: música per a conjunt de vents al llarg dels segles XVIII i XIX és una recerca a través del repertori, gèneres, usos i funcions que tingué el conjunt de vents a la Viena clàssica i la seva influència en la música per a vents del segle XIX. A través de l’explicació del context social i cultural de l’època, entendrem les motivacions i les circumstàncies que van empènyer als compositors a escriure per a Harmoniemusik, així com també les relacions d’aquesta música amb l’òpera, la música militar i la música religiosa.

Johann Andreas Cramer e o "ensaio químico mineral" no século XVIII

In this research, we seek to corroborate the contributions of Chemistry to the identification, extraction and classification of minerals in the XVIII century, as well as, to approach the discussion that History of Chemistry shouldn't be understood in terms of a tight line of thoughts. For that, we analyze the work of Johann Andreas Cramer (1710-1777), Elements of the Art of Assaying Metals. Cramer proposed a method of mineral assaying based on the chemical behavior of the bodies, which allowed him to identify, extract and classify the minerals with more assertiveness.

Collagen XVIII/endostatin expression in experimental endotoxemic acute renal failure

Acute renal failure (ARF) is a frequent complication of Gram-negative sepsis, with a high risk of mortality. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARF is associated with hemodynamic changes that are strongly influenced by the overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) through the cytokine-mediated up-regulation of inducible NO synthase. LPS-induced reductions in systemic vascular resistance paradoxically culminate in renal vasoconstriction. Collagen XVIII is an important component of the extracellular matrix expressed in basement membranes. Its degradation by matrix metalloproteases, cathepsins and elastases results in the formation of endostatin, claimed to have antiangiogenic activity and to be a prominent vasorelaxing agent. We evaluated the expression of endostatin/collagen XVIII in an endotoxemic ARF model. ARF was induced in C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 mg/kg) followed by sacrifice 4 and 12 h later. Kidney tissue was the source of RNA and protein and the subject of histological analysis. As early as 4 h after LPS administration, blood urea, creatinine and NO levels were significantly increased compared to control. Endostatin/collagen XVIII mRNA levels were 0.71 times lower than sham-inoculated mice 4 h after LPS inoculation, returning to normal levels 12 h after LPS inoculation. Immunohistological examination revealed that acute injury caused by LPS leads to an increase of endostatin basement membrane staining in association with the decrease of CD31 endothelial basement membrane staining. These results indicate that in the early phase of endotoxemic ARF the endostatin levels were not regulated by gene expression, but by the metabolism of collagen XVIII.
