A vinda da família real para o Brasil, em 1808, trouxe grandes mudanças e entre elas a primeira manifestação periódica o Correio Brasiliense, editado em Londres. No início do século XX, sobretudo, com a Semana de Arte Moderna em 1922, surgem revistas como: Klaxon, Estética, Festa e outras. A partir delas editam-se outras que constituíram importantes documentos da sociedade brasileira e registram a nova tendência do público leitor. O Pará não ficou ausente desses acontecimentos e teve a Imprensa como seu principal veículo de divulgação. Algumas revistas e alguns jornais surgiram nessa época na capital do Estado, entre as quais se destacou a revista A Semana, que circulou por vinte e cinco anos. Esse semanário mantinha correspondência com outras regiões do Brasil: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Maranhão. Nessas regiões havia colaboradores da revista, o que permitia a troca de informações do que acontecia no mundo literário e no mundo cultural. Dos periódicos compilados foram selecionados quatro exemplares do ano de 1939 para serem estudados, neste trabalho. Neles foram feitos levantamentos da capa, das publicações literárias, do gênero a que essas produções pertenciam e de seus respectivos autores. Pelo quadro-resumo feito dessas edições, percebeu-se que os editores procuravam seguir um padrão divulgando textos de cunho literário, como contos, poemas, trechos de romances, ensaios, entre outros. Em algumas dessas produções ficaram evidentes que nem todas absorveram a nova tendência estética que veio com A Semana de Arte Moderna, pois havia escritores que oscilavam entre as estéticas Romântica, Simbolista e Parnasiana. Por outro lado existiam aqueles que se destacavam, incorporando esse novo tempo literário. Em meio a essas produções despontava a figura feminina, num lugar de destaque, que além de ilustrarem a capa do periódico ainda apareciam nas páginas subseqüentes. Todas essas informações divulgadas no periódico deram mais credibilidade à Revista e permitiu que a Literatura Paraense fizesse parte desse novo momento da Literatura Brasileira.

Os parasitas do gênero Leishmania apresentam uma variabilidade de espécies na região Amazônica e para sua correta identificação é necessário o isolamento dos mesmos. Atualmente para o isolamento do parasita e posterior diagnóstico da doença têm se utilizado a técnica de microcultivo in vitro. O objetivo de nosso trabalho foi otimizar a técnica de microcultivo in vitro para o isolamento de Leishmania sp. Para o isolamento, além do microcultivo, foi analisado a técnica de vácuo-aspiração adaptada e a viabilidade do parasita a temperaturas abaixo de 25ºC. No total foram utilizados 18 hamsters, infectados com amostras de casos clínicos de Leishmaniose tegumentar americana, sendo 3 de Leishmania.(Leishmania) amazonensis e 2 de Leishmania.(Viannia) braziliensis o qual foram realizados 56 cultivos por vácuo-aspiração em meio NNN, 12 em microtubos e 23 por microcapilares com RPMI suplementado, mantidos entre 25º e 31ºC. Para a segunda etapa, participaram 7 pacientes, totalizando 6 culturas por vácuo-aspiração e 42 por microcapilares. Conservou-se a baixa temperatura 7 tubos com NNN que foram mantidas a 5ºC. Foi observado que os isolamentos por vácuo-aspiração de amostras de L. (L.) amazonensis e L. (V.) braziliensis em hamsters foram sensíveis a adaptação da técnica, diferente das amostras de pacientes. A positividade variou entre 2 a 8 dias e 4 e 5 dias respectivamente. Os microtubos apresentaram positividade para as mesmas amostras de hamsters no período de 5 a 8 dias. Para as amostras dos pacientes, 2/12 tubos por vácuo-aspiração foram positivos e para isolamento em microcapilares 6/42, valores inferiores aos encontrados na literatura. A amostras conservadas a 5ºC apresentaram viabilidade até o 30º dia. Com estes resultados foi observado que o microcultivo é viável para uso dentro de nossa região, entretanto se mostrou limitado para o isolamento de amostras provenientes de pacientes. Devem-se utilizar outros meios de cultivo, de modo a observar o comportamento do parasito e também aperfeiçoar a coleta do material da lesão a fim de melhorar os resultados de isolamento.

Biological activities of flavonoids have been extensively reviewed in literature. The biochemical profile of afzelin, kaempferitrin, and pterogynoside acting on reactive oxygen species was investigated in this paper. The flavonoids were able to act as scavengers of the superoxide anion, hypochlorous acid and taurine chloramine. Although flavonoids are naturally occurring substances in plants which antioxidant activities have been widely advertised as beneficial, afzelin, kaempferitrin, and pterogynoside were able to promote cytotoxic effect. In red blood cells this toxicity was enhanced, depending on flavonoids concentration, in the presence of hypochlorous acid, but reduced in the presence of 2,20 -azo-bis(2-amidinopropane) free radical. These flavonoids had also promoted the death of neutrophils, which was exacerbated when the oxidative burst was initiated by phorbol miristate acetate. Therefore, despite their well-known scavenging action toward free radicals and oxidants, these compounds could be very harmful to living organisms through their action over erythrocytes and neutrophils.

In recent years, the concept of art education has been changing substantially the artistic and cultural education in the Brazilian educational system, particularly in relation to the formation of a critical awareness and practice of citizenship. In this process, the Community Public Relations and Public Communication excel in fostering alliances between government and community. Based on literature review and authors debates, such as Geertz, Santos, White, Freire, Araujo, Barbosa, Kunsch e Peruzzo. Besides the analysis of important materials, official documents and Brazilian projects involving art, culture and education, such as Research-Action Report 2013, the National Plan for Culture, the National Education Plan and the Municipal Act 6119; this paper seeks to explicit this affirmation, assuming the social transformation aiming a full citizenship, as a motivational factor. In this paper we also present a plan that includes a project in art education for the Stable Dance Company and the public elementary schools in Bauru SP

Diottix(r) was calibrated at 25 Hz to achieve the frequency indicated in literature as being effective to mobilize the airways secretions. However, the amplitude and frequency of the waves generated by the equipment in different regions of the chest still need to be investigated. The objective of this study was to analyze the frequency and amplitude of waves generated by Diottix(r) in chests of healthy subjects. Diottix(r) was used in the anterior and posterior regions of the chest. The mechanical waves were captured using stethoscopes connected to electret microphones, which were connected to a digital oscilloscope. Frequency and amplitude data were recorded by the stethoscope, positioned in six points in the anterior region and six in the posterior region of the chest, following the positions commonly used in pulmonary auscultation. Signals were recorded and transferred to a computer with software for their analysis. The frequency of waves did not present a significant change (from 24.9 to 26.4 Hz). The wave amplitude in the anterior versus the posterior region in each area of the lung, the upper, middle and lower, had differences. Diottix(r) produces frequencies in the chest according to the calibrated; thus, it can be a complementary resource to bronchial hygiene maneuvers. The amplitudes of waves seem to be affected by other structures like bone parts and heart.

A pretreatment with microwave irradiation was applied to enhance enzyme hydrolysis of corn straw and rice husk immersed in water, aqueous glycerol or alkaline glycerol. Native and pretreated solids underwent enzyme hydrolysis using the extract obtained from the fermentation of Myceliophthora heterothallica, comparing its efficiency with that of the commercial cellulose cocktail Celluclast (R). The highest saccharification yields, for both corn straw and rice husk, were attained when biomass was pretreated in alkaline glycerol, method that has not been previously reported in literature. Moreover, FTIR, TG and SEM analysis revealed a more significant modification in the structure of corn straw subjected to this pretreatment.Highest global yields were attained with the crude enzyme extract, which might be the result of its content in a great variety of hydrolytic enzymes, as revealed zymogram analysis. Moreover, its hydrolysis efficiency can be improved by its supplementation with commercial beta-glucosidase.

Livestock poisoning by plants is a frequent occurrence which determines severe losses, such as the fall in the milk and meat production, the cost of expensive treatments, the state of immunosuppression, or even the animal's death. Cattle ingest toxic plants only when there is food shortage, when they cannot select what they eat, or when they ingest food for preference, which is the case of Hovenia dulcis fruits, very rich in sucrose. This plant is widely distributed in the southern and southeastern Brazilian regions. In literature, there are some cases of severe human liver injury associated with a long-term of H. dulcis leaf and fruit tea intake, and only one report regarding spontaneous poisoning of goats caused by this plant ingestion. However, its toxic effects associated with spontaneous ingestion by cattle have never been reported. This paper reports the first case of spontaneous poisoning in cattle by H. dulcis, which occurred in a dairy farm in southwest Paraná, Brazil. Three cattle individuals showed anorexia, ruminal atony, severe diarrhea and neurological tournament, head pressing, blindness, ataxia, and circling. The necropsy of the animals was done, and the remaining alterations were restricted to the digestive system and brain. The clinical signs presented by the animals are characteristic of polioencephalomalacia (PEM), caused by changes in the thiamine metabolism. Furthermore, clinical signs, gross, and microscopic lesions as well as the large amount of the plant throughout the digestive segment led to a diagnosis.
