INTRODUCTION: The study of placentas from pregnant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive women has become the subject of numerous studies in the literature. Morphological, viral, immune and inflammatory placental aspects have been analyzed in order to grasp the vertical transmission of the virus. OBJECTIVE: To identify the most frequent findings in the placentas by associating them with a viral antigen and correlating them with the infection of newborns. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-five placentas from HIV- positive pregnant women were pathologically and immunohistochemically analyzed with the use of p24 antibody in the period from 1992 to1997 in accordance with the routine laboratory testing from the Anatomopathological Department - Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro - Universidade Federal Fluminense (APD/HUAP/UFF). RESULTS: The microscopic alterations detected in all cases, including those with vertical transmission, were arteriopathy in the fetal blood circulation, chorioamnionitis, perivillous fibrin deposition, syncytial knotting, villous edema and villous immaturity. No specific macroscopic or histopathological changes were found in these placentas. The neonatal infection was observed in five cases. Vertical transmission was identified in two out of five placentas that had low weight for the respective stage of pregnancy. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed 14 positive cases, two of which showed vertical transmission. The viral protein was not identified in 10 out of 14 placentas from patients who had been medicated with zidovudine (AZT). CONCLUSION: Our study has contributed to the anatomopathological investigation into placentas from HIV-positive patients, although p24 expression per se did not allow a definite and early diagnosis of the vertical transmission.

Nowadays, there is a search for knowledgment that could be applied in the solution of the problems caused by petrolific activities involving the environment, like the biodiversity preservation and the ecosystems monitoring and management. Foraminifera (Protista) are used as an important tool to the environment characterizarion, because they answer quickly to the fisic-quimic variations and indicate local alterations. The goal of this job is to create models of foraminiferal communities composition through the screening of subsuperficial samples obtained from a core collect from Bertioga Channel, Baixada Santista (SP), trying to understand the influence of the environmental variations along the time upon the indicator species presence, as well as making paleoenvironmentals reconstructions of the area. A 80 cm-core was removed in the outer edge of marsh adjacent to Bertioga Channel, not far from the confluence with the Itapanhaú River. There are presented in abundance, equitability, diversity and species richness obtained in nine samples along the sediment. The lower part of the core is compound by calcareous species (rotalideos and miliolideos) with domain Ammonia (Biofacies 1) and the intermediate and upper parts contain mainly agglutinated species (Biofacies 2 and 3, which is dominated by species of Ammotium). The qualitative and quantitative study of the microfauna of foraminifera present in the core reveals that in recent decades the sampling area passed from a condition of infra-marginal strip under significant coastal marine influence for the condition of inter-coastal swamp covered with mangrove vegetation. This change indicates that the site has undergone a process of sediment progradation, a phenomenon that may have been timely, localized, or a reflection of a relative fall in sea level at the regional level

Oil spills cause serious damage to the cost life and environments. Those impacts affect ecologic and socio-economic resources (like fishing and tourism). Within this background, response actions have two main objectives: the contaminant removal, with the less additional impacts, and enhance environment restoration in order to make this process complete in the shortest time possible. The present work proposes to contribute for the emergency environmental management in cases of oil spills by systematization of relevant information for oil spill environmental sensitivity maps. The next stage was to insert all these data on a geographic database, which allows data access by web. Beside that, this work aimed to recommend suitable clean-up techniques for the ecosystems located on the study area, composed by the municipalities: Praia Grande, Mongaguá, Itanhaém and Peruíbe, belonging to Baixada Santista and Iguape, Cananéia and Ilha Comprida, south cost of São Paulo state. This area is situated between two important Brazilian ports: Santos and Paranaguá, and that make it under considerable accident risks. The results were all data inserted on the geodatabase and available to user recover the information by web consulting. With that, this work wishes to contribute to individual emergencial planning of the region.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo testar previsões da teoria sobre a influência da predação na evolução dos ciclos vitais. Como modelo de estudo, foram estudadas populações do peixe Poecilia vivipara que habitam o Parque Nacional da Restinga de Jurubatiba, no sistema lagunar Norte-Fluminense, estado do Rio de Janeiro. Neste sistema lagunar, P. vivipara está sujeita à predação por peixes piscívoros (e.g. a traíra Hoplias malabaricus) em parte das lagoas, mas está livre destes predadores em outras lagoas. Foram estudadas três lagoas em que P. vivipara coexiste com seus predadores piscívoros e três em que estes estão ausentes. A ictiofauna das seis lagoas foi amostrada através de redes de arrasto e espinhel. Em laboratório, as fêmeas e os machos de P. vivipara foram dissecados para remoção de suas gônadas. As gônadas das fêmeas foram categorizadas em seis diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento. A partir do terceiro estágio, os embriões foram contados e medidos (maior diâmetro). Os exemplares de P. vivipara e suas gônadas foram secos em estufa a 60ºC e pesados em balança analítica (0,01 mg). Os aspectos do ciclo vital analisados foram: (1) investimento reprodutivo das fêmeas (massa gonadal/massa total da fêmea); (2) índice gonadossomático dos machos (massa gonadal/massa total do macho); (3) fecundidade (número de embriões); (4) comprimento médio dos embriões; e (5) massa seca média dos embriões (massa gonadal/fecundidade). O efeito da predação foi testado com uma ANCOVA aninhada, com regime de predação (alta intensidade, baixa intensidade), população de origem (aninhada dentro do regime de predação) e coleta como variáveis independentes, e massa somática e estágio embrionário como covariáveis. De acordo com o previsto pela teoria, as fêmeas dos ambientes de baixa predação apresentaram embriões maiores, mas, contrariando as previsões teóricas, também apresentaram maior fecundidade e...

In line with a psychology more attached to the becoming [devenir] rather than tothe essence, the goal of this paper is to ground the importance of understandingsubjectivity as a process, mainly when regarding our current discussions aboutidentity and gender. After that, we do some linkage between art and psychology. Forus, art is understood as a powerfulmanner to encourage modes of subjectivation thathave difference as an inherited relation. Lastly, we draw our attention upon somefragments of the contemporaneous artist, Mathew Barney's work-of-art (specially,Cremaster), to see how it runs through the binaries of gender boundaries andlaunches post-identity lines of subjectivation.
