Efeito dos andrógenos na estabilização da preferência manual em machos adultos de sagui comum (Callithrix jacchus)

The role of steroids hormones on the behavior of vertebrates have been described as organizational and activational effects. These actions occur in different periods of the ontogenetic development as fetal, early post natal and during puberty (organizational effect) or modifying the expression of behavioral patterns during time life (activational effects). Studies on brain lateralization in hand use in human and non-human primates have shown that sexual hormones seems to participate in the process of handedness strength that begins in the puberal period and is stabilized at the adult age. The aim of this study was to investigate in adult male Callithrix jacchus if the strength of use of the hand in common marmoset adult male is stable (organizational effect) or androgens variations could affect its stability (activational effect). The preferential use of one hand in 14 common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus was studied in two contexts: (1) spontaneous holding food and directing the food to mouth (feeding episodes), and (2) forced reaching food tests where the animal have to reach the food through a hole within a cover plate with a central hole that allow the use of one hand only to reach the food. The records were made during 5 sessions/20 bouts each during baseline totalizing 100 episodes before two treatments. Firstly it was used GnRH antagonist: a single subcutaneous injection of 100µg de Cetrotide – acetate of cetrorrelix (Baxter Oncology GmbH, Germany) (n=10). Secondly, a single GnRH injection of 0.2mg of GnRH (Sigma – Aldrich) (n= 8) was used. After injections 20 successful attempts of hand use episodes was recorded in the 1st , 2 nd, 7th, 15th and 30 th days, totalizing in the whole period 100 episodes for each context, after both treatments. Fecal sampling to measure extracted fecal androgens was performed in all days of data collection across the length of the basal and during the experimental periods. Statistical analysis by mixed model, Tukey test to compare mean values after the two treatments, and Levene test to compare mean variance were used, all for p-value < 0.05. In basal phase 6 animals used preferentially the right hand, 5 the left and 3 were ambidextrous. Mean handedness index in basal phase were different from that after both treatment starting at 7th day. Mean variance of handedness index for spontaneous and forced activities does not differs before and after both treatments but the mean values for GnRH index were higher than that observed for its antagonist. These findings suggested that androgens have an activational effect on handedness in adult male C. jacchus

Cooperação e competição entre políticas no Brasil: os custos da governabilidade no presidencialismo de coalizão

Public policies have been studied in the various fields of humanities and social sciences, from different theoretical and technical aspects. However, there is still a lack of studies that incorporate the dimension that encompasses the political action and its interference in such actions, also recognizing the importance of the institutional setting of the Brazilian presidential model in implementing these policies. This fragmented and multiparty system has led to power heterogeneous sets of political parties. Thus, the ministerial offices, more than assisting the President´s government project, manage particularized agendas, which are party biased and have the influence of interest groups in hegemonic themes addressed by government agencies. When these agendas operate in sectoral and specialized policies, the friction level is apparently low. However, when this occurs in intersectoral actions, such as in regional development, there is evidence of strong signs of competition among government agencies, which in theory, should operate in an integrated manner. Although this is not a specific feature of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva´s government- the period to be studied- there was similar behavior in Fernando Henrique Cardoso´s presidency, one realizes that the expansion of coalition on behalf of governance is increasingly interfering in the outcome of intersectoral public policies, due to these multiple arguments in action. In order to understand these processes, this study focused on the Sustainable and Integrated Development Programme for Differentiated Meso-Regions (PROMESO), part of the National Policy for Regional Development (NPRD). The program provides interface with various government agencies and their public policies in a clear intersectoral design. The research sought to identify and analyze the relationships between government agencies and their programs with interest groups, whether political parties or other segments of civil society, highlighting the logic of favoritism, which poses in second place the integration of actions in the intersectoral policies. Therefore, besides the theoretical debate that incorporates several categories of political science, public administration, public policy, geography and economics, the study focused on secondary sources, using different government agencies databases in order to raise information. It was observed that the interference of partisan politics has been disastrous for some public policies. Thus, the research confirms that cooperative character is fragile within government agencies, often limited to official documents, and that there is indeed, a striking feature of competition, especially when it comes to transversalized policies

O processo de criação do programa Universidade para Todos - PROUNI

From the end of the 80s, the Brazilian higher education experience strong growth, coming from the private sector, which would intensify further in the late 90th Higher education has become a lucrative business. With a drop in the number of students entering and strong competition, the number of idle places in private institutions of higher education reached 49.5% in 2004. That same year, by Measure, was the University for All Program (PROUNI) program, to include high school students from public higher education, offering scholarships to those students in private HEIs. In exchange, the IES gain tax exemption. The objective of this research is to investigate the game of interest occurred in the formulation of this program and identify the model and the political game and has led to the creation of PROUNI, analyzing the process occurred since the wording of a bill, the issue of Measure Law and that the legitimacy PROUNI, with the most important changes made initial model. Since the first draft of the Law to the final Act, the PROUNI was disfigured in its main points, as the percentage of stock for paying students, the process of selection of stock and bond of the IES program. Throughout the process of creating the program, it is quite clear the performance of the institutions representing the private higher education. As reference for the analysis was based on Rational Choice Theory of Political Science. The basic argument of the methods based on rational choice is the maximization of the benefit will be the main motivation of individuals, but they can give that your goals can be achieved more effectively through institutional action and thereby discover that their conduct is shaped by institutions. Thus, individuals rationally choose to get to a certain extent constrained to join in certain institutions, whether voluntarily or not. The PROUNI was submitted by government and public policy covered by the mystical aura of the discourse of social justice and economic development, as in higher education includes a stratum of people who would not have access to the university, due to restrictions in the supply network public higher education. However, the greatest benefit from the program are the private HEIs, which through a difficult time in a scenario marked by high competition and idleness of nearly half of the vacancies offered. The PROUNI became a program that prioritizes access and not the residence of the student to higher education. More serious than a supporting program for students Fellows is a program supporting the institutions of private education

Importância do eletrocardiograma de doze derivações na localização da via acessória no padrão de Wolff-Parkinson-White

A ablação por cateter de radiofrequência tornou-se o tratamento de escolha para os pacientes com síndrome de Wolff-Parkinson-White, sintomáticos. A localização da via acessória a partir da morfologia do QRS no eletrocardiograma basal, torna-se útil para o planeamento do procedimento de ablação, por permitir um conjunto de informações que ajudam na escolha da melhor abordagem terapêutica, em particular no que respeita ao intervalo para a ablação, a necessidade de punção transeptal e o risco de bloqueio aurículo-ventricular, se a via acessória estiver próxima do nódulo aurículo-ventricular ou do feixe de His. Estão descritos vários algoritmos para prever a localização da via acessória a partir da análise da morfologia do QRS basal. Os seus autores relatam elevados índices de acerto, todavia, estudos subsequentes obtiveram resultados distintos, com índices de acerto menores. O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal a avaliação da capacidade diagnóstica do eletrocardiograma de doze derivações na localização da via acessória no padrão de Wolff- Parkinson-White. Os dados clínicos necessários a este estudo foram recolhidos no Serviço de Cardiologia do Centro Hospitalar S. João – EPE, através da consulta dos exames eletrocardiograma e estudo eletrofisiológico, nos indivíduos com diagnóstico prévio de síndrome de Wolff-Parkinson- White. Numa amostra formada por 111 indivíduos de ambos os géneros e com idade média de 36,54 (± 15,27) anos (idade mínima de 7 anos e idade máxima de 75 anos), procedeu-se à comparação da localização da via acessória no estudo eletrofisiológico, com a obtida pela aplicação dos algoritmos de Arruda et al., Boersma et al., Chiang et al., Ávila et al., Fitzpatrick et al., Iturralde et al. e Xie et al. (harmonizadas para todos os algoritmos, as localizações possíveis das vias acessórias). Em volta do anel mitral, encontravam-se distribuídas 59 vias acessórias (53,15%), sendo 52 as vias acessorias distribuídas em torno do anel tricúspide (46,85%). Nesta distribuição não se observaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas de acordo com o género. O acerto global em todos os algoritmos variou entre 27,00% a 47,00%, aumentando para 40,00% a 76,00%, incluindo as localizações adjacentes. A concordância entre os investigadores variou entre 40,00% a 80,00%, observando-se que em relação ao valor médio de concordância, os algoritmos com menores localizações possíveis para as vias acessórias, obtiveram melhor resultado (64,00%). O acerto para as vias acessórias septais (51 no total) variou entre 2,00% a 52,20% (aumentando para 5,90% a 90,20%, incluindo as localizações adjacentes). As vias acessórias direitas, 13 no total, obtiveram acerto entre 7,70% a 69,20% (aumentando para 42,90% a 100%, incluindo as vias acessórias adjacentes). Por último, as vias acessórios esquerdas, 47 no total, obtiveram acerto entre 21,70% a 54,50% (aumentando para 50,00% a 87,00%, incluindo as vias acessórias adjacentes). Para esta distribuição das vias acessórias (localização septal, direita e esquerda), não se observaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas, de acordo com o género. Os resultados obtidos revelam que todos os algoritmos obtiveram valores de acerto inferiores aos enunciados pelos seus autores, permitindo concluir que embora o eletrocardiograma constitua um método muito importante no diagnóstico da pré-excitação ventricular do tipo Wolff-Parkinson-White, este não é sensível, nem específico para a deteção da localização da via acessória.

Organizações de Massa do PAICV/PAIGC na Primeira República 1975-1990

O presente trabalho académico “As Organizações de Massa do PAIGC/ PAICV na Primeira República, de 1975 a 1990”, insere-se no âmbito do curso de Licenciatura em Ciência Política e Relações Internacionais, pela Universidade do Mindelo, e pretende analisar o papel das organizações de massa, no desenvolvimento do País, durante a Primeira República. O trabalho incide, portanto, na investigação dessas organizações, como surgiram no contexto cabo-verdiano, a contribuição que deram para a organização da sociedade civil e no despertar da consciência cívica da população, e ainda, da relação existente entre elas e o Partido PAIGC (Partido Africano Independente da Guiné-Bissau e Cabo Verde) / PAICV (Partido Africano Independente de Cabo Verde), numa primeira fase. Para depois analisar o impacto do processo democrático do País nas mesmas, visto que elas surgiram num período de partido único, tendo-se verificado um decréscimo na sua dinâmica, após essa mudança política, em que algumas delas acabaram mesmo por desaparecer. Este trabalho contará com a participação das pessoas que fizeram parte dessas organizações e entidades políticas, que, prontamente, disponibilizaram dados para a sua elaboração.

Jornalismo no periodo eleitoral: legislativas 2016

O presente trabalho de conclusão do curso de licenciatura em Ciência Política e Relações Internacionais visa entender a relevância do jornalismo em tempo de eleições. Durante as campanhas eleitorais, os meios de comunicação social, além de assumirem um papel de suma importância, apresentam como uma das suas finalidades aproximar a sociedade e os candidatos a cargos políticos, de modo a terem maior e melhor percepção dos mesmos. Com base num estudo de caso direcionado à cobertura das eleições legislativas de 2016, pretende-se analisar a forma como os órgãos de comunicação social cabo-verdianos, em especial a imprensa, trabalharam o tema. O presente trabalho visa estudar os suportes mediáticos (jornais impressos, RCV e TCV) utilizados ao longo das campanhas eleitorais para as legislativas de 2016, no primeiro momento iremos estudar estes suportes e de uma forma mais detalhada e num segundo momento iremos fazer uma análise das entrevistas feitas aos políticos e aos jornalistas. Os meios da comunicação social em particular os jornais impressos de uma forma geral não dão a mesmas atenção a todas as candidaturas ao longo da campanha eleitoral, ou seja dao mais visbilidade aos partidos com mais possibilidade de ganhar as eleições.
