Artes y métodos de pesca en las riveras del lago Titicaca

Expone el nivel técnico que han alcanzado los pescadores que habitan las riveras del lago Titicaca, así como sus artes y métodos de pesca más empleados por ellos. Los resultados presentados durante las labores de campo demuestran que la extracción pesquera del lago, se centra fundamentalmente en la captura del carachi, debido a que es la especie más abundante y de más fácil captura por su costumbre de vivir en lugares cercanos a la playa.

Dung beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeinae) attracted to sheep dung in exotic pastures

Dung beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeinae) attracted to sheep dung in exotic pastures. In this study we provide data on the abundance and richness of dung beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeinae) attracted to sheep dung in exotic pastures (Brachiaria spp.). In four areas of exotic pasture pitfall traps were installed and baited with fresh sheep dung for sampling of dung beetles. A total of 2,290 individuals were captured belonging to 16 species, 10 genera and five tribes of Scarabaeinae beetles. Trichillum externepunctatum Preudhomme de Borre, 1886 and Dichotomius bos (Blanchard, 1843) were dominant. The guild of dwellers was the most abundant in pastures. We demonstrate that dung beetles are attracted to sheep dung. Since the production of both cattle and sheep in the same area is common in tropical pasturelands, results obtained here highlight the need to investigate the actual role of dung sharing (cattle dung + sheep dung) by dung beetles. It is also suggested that experiments be performed for evaluation of the ecological functions performed by dung beetles using sheep dung.

Implementação de uma VLAN O caso da Universidade Jean Piaget de Cabo Verde

O trabalho científico de monografia que ora se apresenta, pretende dar a conhecer como as VLANs podem ser utilizadas como tecnologia de gestão, monotorização e manutenção da rede. É feito um enquadramento teórico sobre VLAN, bem como a sua contextualização num ambiente universitário, mostrando as várias vantagens do uso desta numa rede local, assim como os mecanismos gestão, monotorização e manutenção. É ainda feito um estudo de caso, sobre uma implementação de uma VLAN como mecanismo de gestão, monotorização e manutenção da rede nessa instituição de ensino superior.

Prevalence of left ventricular regional dysfunction in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia: a tagged MRI study.

BACKGROUND: Although arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) predominantly affects the right ventricle (RV), genetic/molecular and histological changes are biventricular. Regional left ventricular (LV) function has not been systematically studied in ARVD. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study population included 21 patients with suspected ARVD who underwent evaluation with MRI including tagging. Eleven healthy volunteers served as control subjects. Peak systolic regional circumferential strain (Ecc, %) was calculated by harmonic phase from tagged MRI based on the 16-segment model. Patients who met ARVD Task Force criteria were classified as definite ARVD, whereas patients with a positive family history who had 1 additional minor criterion and patients without a family history with 1 major or 2 minor criteria were classified as probable ARVD. Of the 21 ARVD subjects, 11 had definite ARVD and 10 had probable ARVD. Compared with control subjects, probable ARVD patients had similar RV ejection fraction (58.9+/-6.2% versus 53.5+/-7.6%, P=0.20), but definite ARVD patients had significantly reduced RV ejection fraction (58.9+/-6.2% versus 45.2+/-6.0%, P=0.001). LV ejection fraction was similar in all 3 groups. Compared with control subjects, peak systolic Ecc was significantly less negative in 6 of 16 (37.5%) segments in definite ARVD and 3 of 16 segments (18.7%) in probable ARVD (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: ARVD is associated with regional LV dysfunction, which appears to parallel degree of RV dysfunction. Further large studies are needed to validate this finding and to better define implications of subclinical segmental LV dysfunction.

Potential target antigens for immunotherapy in human pancreatic cancer.

BACKGROUND: To be effective and selective, immunotherapy ideally targets specifically tumor cells and spares normal tissues. Identification of tumor specific antigens is a prerequisite to establish an effective immunotherapy. Still very little is known about the expression of tumor-related antigens in pancreatic neoplasms. Cancer Testis antigens (CT) are antigens shared by a variety of malignant tumors, but not by normal tissues with the exception of germ cells in testis. Restricted expression in neoplastic tissues and inherent immunogenic features make CT antigens ideal for use in immunotherapy. We analyzed the expression of a selected panel of nine CT antigens that have been proven to elicit an efficient immunogenic response in other malignancies. In addition we analyzed the expression of HERV-K-MEL, an immunogenic antigen of viral origin. METHODS: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma tumor samples (n=130) were obtained intraoperatively, control tissues (n=23) were collected from cadaveric donor and from patients with chronic pancreatitis. Tumor-associated antigen expression of MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, MAGE-A4, MAGE-A10, LAGE-1, NY-ESO-1, SCP-1, SSX-2, SSX-4 and HERV-K-MEL was assessed by PCR. Sequencing of PCR products were performed to assess the expression of SSX-4 in neoplastic and normal pancreatic tissues. RESULTS: Three of 10 tested antigens were expressed in over 10% of malignant pancreatic tissue samples. SSX-4 was found positive in 30% of cases, SCP-1 in 19% and HERV-K-MEL in 23% of cases. No expression of CT antigens was found in non-malignant pancreatic tissue with the exception of SSX-4 and and SSX-2. CONCLUSIONS: Fifty two percentage of the analyzed tissues expressed at least one CT antigen. The concomitant expression of SSX-4 in both malignant and non-malignant pancreatic tissue is a new finding which may raise concerns for immunotherapy. However, HERV-K-MEL is expressed with a relatively high prevalence and may be a candidate for specific immunotherapy in a large subgroup of pancreatic cancer patients. This study advocates the analysis of patients with regard to their immunogenic profile before the onset of antigen-specific immunotherapy.

Condiciones físico-oceanográficas en verano 2004. Crucero BIC Olaya 0401-02

Se determinó la presencia de tres tipos de agua, de sur a norte: (1) aguas costeras frías (ACF) dentro de las 20 mn de Mórrope a Pacasmayo; (2) aguas ecuatoriales superficiales (AES) frente a Paita y al norte de Punta Sal; (3) aguas tropicales superficiales (ATS) frente a Puerto Pizarro. Hubo gran influencia de las AES, a diferencia del verano 2003, cuando las aguas subtropicales superficiales (ASS) se aproximaron a la costa. El Frente Ecuatorial (FE) se ubicó en la latitud de Cabo Blanco, ligeramente desplazado hacia el sur, pues en el 2003 había llegado hasta Punta Sal. La Extensión Sur de la Corriente de Cromwell (ESCC) se visualizó con buena oxigenación hasta Eten, en abril y mayo este flujo alcanzó mayor desplazamiento.

Encuesta de la pesca artesanal en el lago Titicaca (Junio-diciembre 2006)

Entre junio y diciembre 2006, se realizó la encuesta para conocer el estado de la pesca artesanal en el Lago Titicaca, parte peruana. Se encuestaron 130 comunidades pesqueras, contabilizándose 1734 pescadores (93% hombres), 50% menor a lo determinado por PRODUCE-Puno. Se registraron 1716 embarcaciones, en su mayoría de madera que se desplazan a remo y/o vela. Las artes de pesca más utilizadas son redes cortina y espinel. La truchicultura se encuentra en fase de crecimiento.
