Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar o sistema de polinização de Spondias mombin L., obtendo dados sobre a, sistema reprodutivo e os visitantes florais. Spondias mombin floresceu durante a estação seca e produziu frutos maduros na estação chuvosa. É uma espécie andromonóica, produzindo flores hermafroditas e masculinas, com números e viabilidades polínicas semelhantes. A análise da razão pólen/óvulo revelou que é uma espécie que se enquadra no tipo de sistema reprodutivo xenogâmico, necessitando da polinização cruzada realizada, neste caso, pelos insetos. Spondias mombin foi visitada por uma variedade de insetos de pequeno porte e generalistas como abelhas, moscas, vespas e besouros. As abelhas Apis mellifera Linneu, 1758, Tetragona goettei (Friese, 1900) e Trigona hyalinata (Lepeletier, 1836) apresentaram maior freqüência e, seu comportamento, tocando as partes reprodutivas das flores, sugere que são os principais polinizadores desta espécie vegetal. Além disso, a análise do pólen coletado pelos principais polinizadores demonstrou a fidelidade destes ao taperebá e o grande poder de recrutamento desta espécie.

ABSTRACT: Honey produced by three stingless bee species (Melipona flavolineata, M. fasciculata and Apis mellifera) from different regions of the Amazon was analyzed by separating phenolic acids and flavonoids using the HPLC technique. Data were subjected to multivariate statistical analysis (PCA, HCA and DA). Results showed the three species of honey samples could be distinguished by phenolic composition. Antioxidant activity of the honeys was determined by studying the capacity of inhibiting radicals using DPPH assay. Honeys with higher phenolic compound contents had greater antioxidant capacity and darker color.

O trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver uma alimentação artificial protéica a base de extrato de soja (saburá artificial), e avaliar o seu efeito sobre a razão sexual, longevidade de operárias e desenvolvimento de colônias recém-divididas de Melipona fasciculata além de verificar a adaptação da espécie dentro de casas de vegetação. O saburá artificial aqui desenvolvido é constituído de 50g de extrato de soja, 20g de saburá fresco e 60ml de xarope de açúcar invertido (60%). Foi utilizado anilina para colorir o saburá artificial na tentativa de rastrear e verificar o consumo pelas operárias dentro das colônias. Foram utilizadas cinco colônias, das quais três receberam somente saburá e duas o saburá artificial. Não houve diferença significativa entre a produção de rainhas e operárias nos dois tratamentos e nos dois casos não houve produção de machos. As operárias que nasceram de caixas alimentadas com saburá artificial apresentaram maior longevidade e menor peso ao nascer. Estas caixas ainda iniciaram o processo de construção de células e postura mais cedo que as caixas alimentadas com saburá, contudo, suas rainhas apresentaram menor taxa de oviposição diária. O alimento a base de extrato de soja (saburá artificial) não afetou negativamente colônias recém divididas de M. fasciculata. Nos primeiros dias, as abelhas passaram a maior parte do seu tempo no topo da casa-de-vegetação tentando fugir, somente após o terceiro dia houve redução na mortalidade das operárias. Não houve diferença significativa, ao longo de cinco dias, entre a mortalidade de operárias em caixas transferidas, durante a noite e durante o dia, para dentro da casa-de-vegetação. A anilina se mostrou uma excelente ferramenta para controlar os alimentos manuseados e consumidos pela colônia.

A deficiência auditiva afeta cerca de 1 em cada 1000 recém-nascidos. Mutações no gene da conexina 26 (GJB2) são as causas mais frequentes de surdez não sindrômica em diferentes populações e é sabido que a mutação delGJB6-D13S1830 em DFNB30 é causadora de surdez neurossensorial. Muitos estudos descrevem o envolvimento de mutações no gene GJB2 com a deficiência auditiva em diferentes populações. Entretanto, existe pouca informação sobre a surdez genética no Brasil, especialmente na região Amazônica. OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de mutações no gene GJB2 e da mutação delGJB6-D13S1830 em 77 casos esporádicos de surdez não sindrômicas. MÉTODO: A região codificante do gene GJB2 foi sequenciada e a PCR foi realizada para detectar a mutação delGJB6-D13S1830. RESULTADOS: O alelo 35delG foi encontrado em 9% dos pacientes (7/77). As mutações M34T e V95M foram detectadas em dois distintos pacientes heterozigotos. A mutação não patogênica V27I foi detectada em 28,6% (22/77). Não foi detectada a mutação delGJB6-D13S1830 em nenhum paciente estudado. CONCLUSÃO: Alelos mutantes no gene GJB2 foram observados em 40% (31/77) da amostra. Variantes patogênicas foram detectadas em apenas 12% (9/77). Mais estudos são necessários para elucidar causas genéticas de deficiência auditiva em populações miscigenadas.

Curcumin possesses wide-ranging anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and its biological activity can be linked to its potent antioxidant capacity. Superparamagnetic maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3), called surface-active maghemite nanoparticles (SAMNs) were surface-modified with curcumin molecules, due to the presence of under-coordinated Fe-III atoms on the nanoparticle surface. The so-obtained curcumin-modified SAMNs (SAMN@curcumin) had a mean size of 13 +/- 4 nm. SAMN@curcumin was characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, UV/Vis, FTIR, and Mossbauer spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, bulk susceptibility (SQUID), and relaxometry measurements (MRI imaging). The high negative contrast proclivity of SAMN@curcumin to act as potential contrast agent in MRI screenings was also tested. Moreover, the redox properties of bound curcumin were probed by electrochemistry. SAMN@curcumin was studied in the presence of different electroactive molecules, namely hydroquinone, NADH and ferrocyanide, to assess its redox behavior. Finally, SAMN@curcumin was electrochemically probed in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, demonstrating the stability and reactivity of bound curcumin.

Soil organic matter (SOM) constitutes an important reservoir of terrestrial carbon and can be considered an alternative for atmospheric carbon storage, contributing to global warming mitigation. Soil management can favor atmospheric carbon incorporation into SUM or its release from SOM to atmosphere. Thus, the evaluation of the humification degree (HD), which is an indication of the recalcitrance of SOM, can provide an estimation of the capacity of carbon sequestration by soils under various managements. The HD of SOM can be estimated by using various analytical techniques including fluorescence spectroscopy. In the present work, the potential of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to estimate the HD of SUM was evaluated for the first time. Intensities of emission lines of Al, Mg and Ca from LIBS spectra showing correlation with fluorescence emissions determined by laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIFS) reference technique were used to obtain a multivaried calibration model based on the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) method. The values predicted by the proposed model (A-LIBS) showed strong correlation with LIFS results with a Pearson's coefficient of 0.87. The HD of SUM obtained after normalizing A-LIBS by total carbon in the sample showed a strong correlation to that determined by LIFS (0.94), thus suggesting the great potential of LIBS for this novel application.

A variety of platinum-group-minerals (PGM) have been found to occur associated with the chromitite and dunite layers in the Niquelandia igneous complex. Two genetically distinct populations of PGM have been identified corresponding to phases crystallized at high temperatures (primary), and others formed or modified during post-magmatic serpentinization and lateritic weathering (secondary). Primary PGM have been found in moderately serpentinized chromitite and dunite, usually included in fresh chromite grains or partially oxidized interstitial sulfides. Due to topographically controlled lateritic weathering, the silicate rocks are totally transformed to a smectite-kaolinite-garnierite-amorphous silica assemblage, while the chromite is changed into a massive aggregate of a spinel phase having low-Mg and a low Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio, intimately associated with Ti-minerals, amorphous Fe-hydroxides, goethite, hematite and magnetite. The PGM in part survive alteration, and in part are corroded as a result of deep chemical weathering. Laurite is altered to Ru-oxides or re-crystallizes together with secondary Mg-ilmenite. Other PGM, especially the Pt-Fe alloys, re-precipitate within the altered chromite together with kaolinite and Fe-hydroxides. Textural evidence suggests that re-deposition of secondary PGM took place during chromite alteration, controlled by variation of the redox conditions on a microscopic scale.

The discussions waged by several authors in the field of philosophy of science about scientificity and scientific work often fall to the shock of Sciences, who had long substantiate their studies from the perspective of Natural Sciences. Fact that the man away from research, transforming it into a simple object of study. Among these questions, it is necessary to think in a very scientificity of the humanities, which considers the various types of knowledge that makes up the formation of the individual. In this way, approaching the experience, treated by Agambem Benjamin Larrosa and the educational research with children presents itself as a chance to rethink the current paradigm of Sciences. This gives rise to the objective of this work reflect, based on a research conducted with children and imagetic production, the idea of 'research and its relation to the concept of experience'. We will take as its starting point the elaborations on this concept as presented by Giorgio Agamben. We are assuming that the images of that research, are configured as research papers or research and, in this sense, the research is defined as a documentary research

Giorgio Bassani in his book Una lapide in via Mazzin seeks to show to the readers all the sufferings passed by Italians during the Second World War and emphasized those persists until today. Aiming to make an unprecedented translation of this tale, it is expected that the text provides us great experiences in the language and we could see the actual difficulties and differences with the Portuguese language, despite being considered these languages closed ones. The objective of this work is to produce a translation that allows us to transmit all anxieties and reflections suffered by the main character of the tale. After the war, the survivor of the concentration camp can go back to your city. He appears exactly at the moment is being placed a headstone on the synagogue wall in homage to Jews deported and killed in the camps. Given the gaunt figure of the man with his striped pajamas, the population is driven to rethink their own indifference and , in a way, its share of blame. Thus, the return should be celebrated is rejected and the figure of the survivor becomes a nuisance. The function of the headstone is actually and literally put a stone on the story. To achieve the proposed objective for this work, we analyzed all the chapters of the story Una lapide in via Mazzini and tried to find equivalents in Portuguese. However, we not ignored the traces of meaning that Giorgio Bassani invested in his work. Therefore, it was necessary to use both printed and virtual dictionaries. With the advancement of the translation work, we realized the difficulty of finding appropriate solutions to achieve the desired effect . The fidelity proposed by the author became increasingly difficult as our work progressed. In the course of all the discussions, it was concluded that , in fact , when it comes to translation, maintaining fidelity to the original text in a foreign language is a difficult and laborious process

The oral records, deprived of great rhetoric elaboration, mark the family accounts and the testimonies about remarkable and apparently minor particularities of grand conflicts, like the World War II. The oral memory fulfilled an important function of historical transmission, especially in handing on to written record the organization of testimonies, revealing personal memories in the form of letters, diaries and narratives, besides of integrating itself to several works of fiction. In the present work we present the value of former partigiani’s testimonies collected in the volume Io sono l’ultimo (I am the last one) as evocation and transmission of personal remembrances strongly linked to the conflict and as manifestations in the literary field as well. The valuing by descendants and fellow countrymen of a tradition of memory communication make the testimony of men and women that fought for the liberation of many Italian locations much more than fragmented reports when the interested reader in the memory of those that survived, integrated to the micro-history of the events, perceive its expressive logic. We explore both the meaning of witness adopted by Giorgio Agamben and the esthetical value of the traumatized voice in the perspective of Márcio Seligman-Silva.
