The definitive history of Colby College's first century.

Tatler (Volume 1 1898)

The Winthrop yearbook was published from 1898 to 2002. It has been known as the Tatler since its inception except for 1904 (Lang Syne) and 1918 (Tatler a la Guerre). No yearbook was published in 1900, 1902, 1903, 1905,1906.

Biologia reprodutiva do lagostim Parastacus varicosus Faxon, 1898 (Decapoda : Parastacidae) da Bacia do Rio Gravataí, Rio Grande do Sul

Considerando à lacuna sobre as informações da biologia reprodutiva dos crustáceos de água doce no Brasil, principalmente dos lagostins, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo caracterizar aspectos da dinâmica da reprodução, como a descrição e desenvolvimento das gônadas, e analisar as variações bioquímicas do metabolismo intermediário de Parastacus varicosus Faxon, 1898 para relacioná-las ao período reprodutivo. Os animais foram amostrados de junho de 2004 a maio de 2005 em um arroio pertencente à Bacia do Rio Gravataí, localidade Cova do Touro, Gravataí, Rio Grande do Sul. As fêmeas foram separadas em três estágios gonadais de acordo com a maturação. Todos animais apresentaram os dois pares de aberturas e dutos genitais. Foram identificados histologicamente 40 machos, 32 fêmeas e 6 espécimes transicionais. Os índices gonadossomático (IG) e hepatossomático (IH) foram determinados. Ocorreu um aumento do IG e uma diminuição no IH, no período de passagem da primavera para o verão, indicando uma maior atividade reprodutiva no verão e uma possível transferência das reservas do hepatopâncreas para a gônada nesse período. Nas análises bioquímicas da hemolinfa, hepatopâncreas, músculo e gônadas os níveis de glicose, glicogênio, proteínas totais, colesterol e lipídeos totais foram quantificados. As variações sazonais observadas mostraram estar relacionada com o período reprodutivo, mostrando uma transferência de parte das reservas energéticas do hepatopâncreas e do músculo para o desenvolvimento das gônadas durante período reprodutivo. Nessa pesquisa portanto foi observada uma correlação entre os resultados obtidos das investigações das gônadas e das análises bioquímicas indicando assim uma conexão entre essas pesquisas e contribuindo para um melhor entendimento da biologia reprodutiva de P. varicosus.

As artes performativas no Funchal oitocentista (1820-1913)

O trabalho que aqui se apresenta surge no âmbito do Mestrado em “Gestão Cultural”. O tema tratado nesta dissertação é a evolução das artes performativas no Funchal Oitocentista (1820 -1913). A presente investigação debruça-se sobre um conjunto de espaços para espectáculos e sobre os diversos grupos e associações de índole artística que circularam por esta cidade, tornando as suas actuações de grande importância na vida Funchalense. A interligação entre as actividades artísticas, a gestão dos espaços necessários à sua realização e o funcionamento da sociedade funchalense, distante da Capital portuguesa mas situada na rota dos navios que se dirigiam aos outros continentes, é o assunto abordado e desenvolvido neste trabalho. Este estudo contempla a análise da construção ou aproveitamento dos diversos espaços utilizados para artes performativas na cidade, o caso específico do Teatro Municipal Baltazar Dias, os artistas que visitaram Funchal na época em estudo, os artistas locais que actuaram no Funchal Oitocentista e o seu público espectador.

Dos caminhos de água aos caminhos de ferro: a construção da hegemonia de Natal através das vias de transporte (1820-1920)

At a time of changes on the territory during the 19th century, the political and socioeconomic elites of the province and later State of Rio Grande do Norte evolved a discourse in order to justify the permanence of Natal as a city holding a status of capital. In this work we analyze the means employed by the ruling classes to impose their wish to raise Natal to an outstanding position among the existing cities by intervening on the territory during a period of one hundred years (1820-1920). During that time, which was characterized by changing commercial flows and technological development, the elites interventions were essentially directed to the implementation of modes of transportation, especially the railway. We try to understand the reinforcement of Natal as a capital city not only in political and administrative terms, but mainly in a commercial and symbolic manner, through the discourse and interventions undertaken by the local administrative elites, who stimulated the creation of a set of relations on the territory that also imprinted visible marks in the capital s urban fabric. These interventions were based upon the establishment of an infrastructure for exporting the State s production, firstly through and despite the Potengi River, and later on by the construction of railways. Although the project of Natal s hegemony had been outlined before the establishment of the railway network, in both cases the ultimate objective was to reinforce and develop the capital city as a commercial urban center to the detriment of other cities

O teatro de Deus: a construção do espaço sagrado de juazeiro a partir de narrativas femininas (Ceará, 1889-1898)

In this work, we discuss the construction of Juazeiro in the state of Ceará -, as a sacred space from the analysis of the testimonies of nine religious women called beatas in an Episcopal process in the late nineteenth century. This process was initiated in 1891 to investigate the occurrence of an Eucharistic miracle with beata Maria Magdalena do Espírito Santo de Araújo. We show that the punitive strategies of the Diocese eventually caused a reordering of pilgrimages to Juazeiro which until 1894 worshipped the Precious Blood and that after the condemnation of the phenomena by the Holy See are rearranged around the figure of Father Cicero Romão Batista, under the pretext of worshipping the priest himself and also Nossa Senhora das Dores, currently the patron saint of the city of Juazeiro do Norte.

Pelvimetria em macacos-da-noite (Aotus azarai infulatus - KUHL, 1820)

Related data to the diameters of the pelvis from 72 Aotus azarai infulatus, owl monkeys, 42 adult males and 30 adult non-pregnant females, were obtained in vivo by ventrodorsal projection radiographic exams, correlated with sex, the measures of the body and their origin. The mean values of the body length (30.94 cm), tail length (35.63 cm), thoracic perimeter (18.97 cm), hip perimeter (17.11 cm) and the weight (0.96 Kg) were verified. The radiographic images were digitalized and measured, and the mean values were 1.41 cm for the superior biiliac diameter; 1.58 cm for the inferior biiliac diameter; 1.97 cm for the medium biiliac diameter; 2.64 cm for the right diagonal diameter; 2.66 cm for the left diagonal diameter; 2.48 cm for the sacrum-pubic diameter; 3.85 cm 2 for the inlet pelvic area. In conclusion, the pelvis from males and females Aotus azarai infulatus can be classified as dolicopelvic and there is pelvic sexual dimorphism in adult owl monkeys (Aotus azarai infulatus).

Anatomia do nervo isquiático em mocós (Kerodon rupestris WIED, 1820) aplicada a clínica de animais silvestres

To know the origin of the ischiatic nerve in mocos (Kerodon rupestris Wied,1820) near by intervertebral forames and the muscling belonging to its routes were used 10 adult animals, from CEMAS-ESAM. After natural obit, they were fixed in formol (10%) and dissected to exposition and to singt of the ischiatic nerve. The results were indicated in percentage. Variations in the quantity of the lumber and sacral vertebras nere observed, five animals (50,00%) reveled seven lumbar vertebras and three sacral ones; two animals recrealed seven lumbar vertebras and four sacral ones, and two animals reveled six lumbar vertebras and three sacral ones. An animal (10,00%) revealed six lumbar vertebras and four ones. Therefore, the origin of the nerve was differentiated five animals (50,00%) had the participation of L 7,S 1,S 2; two animals (20,00%) with L 7,S 1; and a little part of S 2. Two animals (20,00%) with L 6,S 1,S 2, and an animal (10,00%) with L 6,S 1, and a little part of S 2. The last root of the ischiatic nerve in all its origins, contribute to the constitution of the first root of pudental nerve. It was verified that in all its route, the ischiatic nerves (100,00%) ceded branches to the muscles: medial gluteus, deep gluteus, superficial gluteus, emiting muscular branches to the femoral biceps or to thigh, and to the semimembranous and semi-tendinous muscles, that is continuous with a high calibre trunk, originating the fibular nerve(sideways), the tibial nerve(medial) and the lateral plantar sural cutaneous nerve (caudal).
