Perfil sociodemográfico das pessoas que cometeram suicídio no período de 2007 a 2013 em Arapiraca, Alagoas, e a possível exposição aos agrotóxicos

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de série histórica, com os dados coletados do Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade, através de relatórios do TABWIN, gerados em Excel, com banco de dados e análise estatística feitas no programa estatístico SPSS. Tem por objetivo determinar a mortalidade por suicídio na população do município de Arapiraca-AL, no período de 2007 a 2013, caracterizar o perfil epidemiológico e verificar a existência da associação entre a exposição a agrotóxicos e o suicídio. Identificamos 76 óbitos por suicidio no periodo, porém 14 óbitos foram eliminados por apresentarem informações ignoradas. Dos 53 óbitos, que apresentou uma média de 7,6 óbitos/ano, 40 foram praticados por homens e 13 por mulheres, a faixa etária inferior a 30 anos teve 45% dos óbitos, concentrados entre 20 a 29 anos, com 32,1%; os solteiros representaram 64,1%; pessoas de cor parda, com 41 mortos, (77,3%); a escolaridade apresentou 50,9% com um a 7 anos de estudos; 73,6% das pessoas residiam na zona urbana; 37,7% eram trabalhadores da agricultura, e o meio mais utilizado foi o enforcamento com 28 dos óbitos, (52,9%), seguido do uso de pesticidas com 16 óbitos, (30,2%). O Teste Exato de Fisher utilizado para avaliar a associação entre os fatores que poderiam influenciar a prática do suicídio, mostrou não existir diferença estatística na prática do suicídio entre os trabalhadores com agrotóxicos (p=0,64), bem como em relação a ocupação (p=0,76). Porém, foram encontradas associações significativas entre o desfecho suicídio e a existência de quadro depressivo (p=0,001) e a utilização de medicamentos (p=0,03). Novos estudos devem ser realizados com o intuíto de melhor explicar a ocorrência de depressão e do suicídio e principalmente determinar a sua relação causal com a exposição aos agrotóxicos.

Les caractères musicaux au sein d'une démarche artistique dramatique : exploration des indices acoustiques jouant un rôle dans l'évocation des états affectifs en musique.

Cette thèse de doctorat en composition comprend deux projets de nature différente et complémentaire : (1) un projet de recherche théorique sur la communication des caractères musicaux; (2) un projet artistique s'articulant autour de la composition de trois pièces : L'homme à deux têtes - opéra de chambre, Un instant dans l'esprit de Lovecraft - pour clarinette solo, orchestre à cordes et percussions, et Balade ornithologique - pour orchestre à vents. La conception de la musique comme un moyen de communication est à l'origine de cette recherche théorique qui est motivée par un désir de compréhension des stratégies d'expressions des émotions en musique, à partir du point de vue du compositeur. Cette thèse aborde les modèles de communication, le concept de personnage virtuel et la théorie de la contagion des humeurs. Par la suite, nous détaillerons les indices acoustiques menant à la perception des caractères musicaux. Toutes ces notions sont illustrées et explorées par la composition de miniature ayant un caractère bien ciblé. Finalement, nous proposons un système d'analyse musical des caractères et des émotions qui est appliqué à l'analyse de sections des pièces composées au cours de ce projet de doctorat. Ce dernier chapitre met en lumière les stratégies utilisées pour créer un discours dramatique tout en exposant l'évocation de différents caractères musicaux.

Sedimentology of surface sediments from the continental shelf and slope off West Africa (Table 1)

Samples from sutface sediments of the shell, continental slope, and adjacent deep sea regions off West Africa between 27° N and 15° N were investigated with respect to grain size distribution of the total samples, sand contents of the acid insoluble residues, carbonate content of the total samples, and the separate grain size fractions, specific surfaces, colours and mineralogical composition of the clay fractions. The grain size distributions of the total samples of the sediments of the shelf and the continental slope off Spanish-Sahara are controlled mainly by biogenic components. The supply of terrigeneous material in this area is very low. At deeper parts of the continental slope and in the deep sea areas, the relative amounts of carbonate minerals in the sediments are considerably reduced. The prevailing sand contents of the upper slope changes into clay dominance. On the shelf of Mauritania - represented by profiles extending down to 200 m water depth - the grain size is also controlled mainly by biogenic carbonates. Nevertheless, the admixture of fossil silicate components is important, too. The southern parts of the area is investigated are located in a region influenced by sediments of the Senegal River, which especially control the contents of silt and clay. The silicate sands, predominately of quartz, are fossil and form a mixed sediment with younger deposits. The carbonate contents of the different grain size fractions are formed either by sedimentation of carbonate and silicate particles of the respective grain size or by autochtonous disintegration of coarser sediment particles, as shown by the occurence of Mg-rich calcite and especially aragonite in the clay sized fraction. In the northern parts of the area investigated, which have very minute terrigeneous supply, the latter mechanism is the dominant factor, controlling the carbonate contents of the fine grain sized fractions. In the vicinity of the mouth of the Senegal the carbonate contents are influenced by extremely high dilution with terrigencous silicates. Mg-rich calcite and aragonite are produced preferentially in shallow slope and shelf areas up to 500 m of water depth. The specific surfaces of the carbonate-free clay fractions indicate that the clay fractions of the shelfareas with little terrigenous supply consits of relatively coarser particles. Very fine particles are removed and transported towards the deep sea. Lateral differentiation of this kind was not observed in the area off Senegal. The high surface areas, characterizing the clay fractions of this region, are thought to be due to high montmorillonite contents as was found for deep seas sediments. The mineralogical composition of the clay fraction from the southern parts of the area is characterized by high kaolinite and montmorillonite contents, while in the northern illite is predominating. At least two types of montmorillionites are present: in areas influenced by the Senegal mostly one type was found, which could swell to 17; on the shelves and slopes of the other regions the montmorillonite-group is represented by a montmorillonite-mica-type mixed-layer mineral. A "glauconite", found in the sand fraction, which had very similar properties to those of the montmorillonite-mica mixed-layer, is believed to be the source of this mixed-layer-type mineral. Palygorskite is present in all samples out of range of the Senegal supply. It may be an indicator of eolian transported material. The occurence of rich palygorskit deposits in the arid hinterlands emphasizes the terrestrial origin.
