Há associação entre desempenho sexual e vocalização em codornas japonesas (Coturnix japonica)?

O presente trabalho teve como objetivos relacionar o desempenho sexual das codornas japonesas com o canto, nos machos. Foi determinado o perfil de comportamento sexual das codornas e foi constatado que os machos apresentam diferenças individuais conspícuas entre os grupos de maus e bons copuladores. Foi descrito também a taxa de vocalização e determinados os parâmetros acústicos, entretanto mostraram-se semelhantes entre os grupos testados, apesar de apresentarem diferenças na estrutura sonográfica. Houve diferenças no índice gonadossomático entre os dois perfis, porém não se mostraram significativos. Não houve correlação entre o desempenho sexual de machos de codorna japonesa e a taxa de vocalização, apesar de uma tendência dos bons copuladores cantarem mais freqüentemente

Condições mínimas para o encerramento de áreas que abrigaram resíduos sólidos domiciliares

In 2010 Brazil produced about 60.8 million of municipal solid waste, an amount 6.8% higher than in 2009 and six times the rate of urban population growth recorded in the same period. According to a study by the Brazilian Association of Companies of Special Wasteand Public Cleansing (Abrelpe), the average waste generated per person in the same period the country was 378 Kilograms, an amount 5.3% higher to 2009 (359 Kg). The total reached 60.8 milion tons of waste, 6.5 million tons were collected and not end up inrivers, streams and vacant lots. Of this total production, 42.4% or 22.9 million Tons, did not receive proper destination and destiny had dumps and landfills. The data show that the country is in upward trend in waste generation, but did not advance the appropriate destination at the same pace. The waste thus throw open cause public helth problems, such as proliferation of disease vectors (flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats, and others). Generation of odors and especially the pollution of soil, surface water and groundwater through slurry ( liquid black, smelly and high pollution potential produced by the decomposition of organic matter contained in waste), affecting the water. This Study shows the popper closure of the areas, wich long has been degrading our natural resources, not to cause damage to nature and therefore society

Regiões competitivas agrícolas e vulnerabilidade territorial: o papel do Consórcio Pesquisa Café

This academic work presents the final results of the undergraduate research about new agricultural technical systems developed by “Consórcio Pesquisa Café” (CPC), which main objective was to analyze the impacts of scientific inputs in different coffee producing regions, particularly in South of Minas Gerais. The creation of the CPC meets the demands of a global scientific coffee-growing (SANTOS, 2000) under development in the current period technical-scientific-informational (SANTOS, 2009). On this period, also called globalization, the technoscience, the information and the finances guide the actions of companies and institutions submitted by imperative of competitiveness on international market. The Brazilian’s coffee-growing regions (South of Minas Gerais, Cerrado Mineiro, Espírito Santos Ridge’s, Western Bahia, among others) on search of higher productivities, begin gather technical, informational and communicational densities (SANTOS, 2009). Considering these facts, we detail in this research, the major agricultural technical systems developed by “Consórcio Pesquisa Café” (CPC), expressed in new management techniques, new cultivars and new chemicals, mechanical and biological inputs. In the concluding part of this undergraduate research we analyze how these new technical systems contribute to increased competitiveness and vulnerability of South of Minas Gerais in front of international market

O discurso sobre leitura na esfera escolar e sua relação com o discurso científico

In this paper, the discourse about reading skills uttered by teachers and students is analyzed. The analyses are supported by the Bakhtin’s studies concerning the discourse that necessarily consider the meaning affected by the sphere of the activity in which the enunciation occurs. The concrete utterance, in this perspective, has its identity in relation to the social values that constitute the conscience of the author and in the ideologies that materialize in the discourse, which is always marked by the constitutive relation between the other person and me. The results indicate the following conclusions: the common sense discourse about reading appears in the answers of the analyzed teachers, which consider their students like bad readers, these professionals also do not recognize the technology as a source of reading for their students. Thus, reading that interests the students is not acceptable in school. The symbolic violence practiced by school appears at the moment that the teacher does not consider the student’s language and the readings that interest them; it also appears when the teacher prevents their students to have new readings; moreover, reading is always unique as it is neither new, nor unrepeatable, so it the plurality of meanings is impossible.

Desejos, brasilidades e segredos: o negócio do sexo na relação entre clientela espanhola e travestis brasileiras

The gender ethinicization and the nationality sexualization are aspects that have been discussed in the relationship between Spanish clients and Brazilian transvestites in the brisk sex business in Spain. Sometimes, in these sexual relationships, which are also business relationships, erotic aspects are associated with exoticism that is not related only to nationality or race, but also to new sexual experiences that are more exciting than those considered conventional practices. Hence, the connection between Brazil and the transgender body, made by some Spanish clients, makes sense only when considering the dense sexual grammar involved in those relationships. These signs were structured based on continual colonial attributions, which have been given fresh meaning by the new migration flow resulting from the broad spread of images and insertion of Brazil into the sexual tourism route. Aiming at fully discussing this proposal, this research is based on the queer theory and on other studies in the literature that focus on the poststructuralist and post-colonial sex market. These tools were used to analyze the data gathered in an ethnographic study carried out in São Paulo, Madrid, and Barcelona, as well as data collected from Spanish websites about sexual interest in transvestites

Flores carnais: Mapplethorpe e a natureza socio-política da pornografia

O artista norte-americado Robert Mapplethorpe se notabilizou pela plasticidade de seus portraits em preto e branco, mas também pelo escândalo de suas composições, nas quais corpos nus, sobretudo masculinos podiam ser vistos em atos homoeróticos e sadomasoquistas. Considerada como uma arte erótica por uns e como pornografia por outros, o fotógrafo acendeu o antigo debate pornografia versus erotismo. Considerando que tanto uns quanto outros termos, só adquirem seu sentido estético, social e político se pensados contextual e historicamente. Tomamos as fotografias de flores deste autor, para levar a cabo este debate, dialogando, para tanto, com as contribuições de Michel Foucault pelas leituras da sexualidade enquanto dispositivo. Valemo-nos, ainda dos conceitos de ars erotica e scientia sexualis tratado pelo mesmo autor, para estruturar nossas hipóteses, nas quais as flores do fotógrafo são deslocadas do terreno relativamente seguro do erotismo para serem lidas como armas de um terrorismo textual (e visual), aquele que Barthes viu como capaz de 'interveir socialmente, não fraças à sua popularidade ou seu sucesso, mas graças à 'violência que permite que o texto exceda as leis que a uma sociedade, uma ideologia, ou uma filosofia tomam para construir sua própria 'inteligibilidade histórica'''.

Subalterno quem, cara pálida? Apontamentos às margens sobre pós-colonialismos, feminismos e estudos queer

In this paper, the author unify contributions of key thinkers in three theoretical vertents that defy canonical thinking centered on European scientific epistemology. It tries to evaluate the influence of these contributions in the Brazilian production on the same subjects, but also to bring into evidence the intellectual autonomy of local reflections and their own influence beyond national borders.

"...Depois, querida, ganharemos o mundo": reflexões sobre gênero, sexualidade e políticas públicas para travestis adolescentes, meninos femininos e outras variações

This article originated in a research that was meant to map out and examine the life conditions of “travesti” (transgender) teenagers and youth living in the city of Campinas, state of São Paulo. We contacted our informants outside the environments usually identifi ed as the common spaces where members of this group spend their time and share their experiences, as a strategy that we believed could enable us to better perceive how they construct their subjectivities. As we began our ethnographic endeavors, we were surprised by the multiplicity of ways in which these young people experimented with gender and sexuality, yet which were, at the same time, accompanied by eff orts to fi t these experiments within available identity categories. Feminine boys, cross dressers and drags thus constructed their own ways of living the feminine, and in doing so, stirred our imagination regarding contemporary experiences and political struggles in the realm of sexuality.
