Supplementation with protected fat to manage gastro-intestinal nematode infection in Santa Ines sheep

This experiment aimed to determine the influence of supplementation with protected fat on nematode infections in periparturient sheep or sheep in their final stage of pregnancy. Fifty Santa Ines ewes received 200 g of concentrate/animal/day, mineral salt and water and were grouped according to their weight, hematocrit and the number of eggs per gram of feces (EPG). Two diets were used: a control treatment and a treatment consisting of supplementation with 30 g/animal/day of protected fat in the concentrate. Three monthly evaluations were performed over a total of 84 days of testing. The variables analyzed were weight, body condition, EPG and coprocultures; blood tests were performed for the determination of packed cell volume, hemoglobin concentration and total plasma protein, and leukograms and eosinophil counts were performed. For weight and hemoglobin concentrations, interactions were observed between diet and collection date (P<0.05); body condition, total plasma protein, packed cell volume and total leukocytes did not differ statistically among treatments (P> 0. 05) but did differ by collection day (P <0.05). The EPG and eosinophil counts did not differ statistically by either diet or collection date (P>0.05). The genus Haemonchus was predominant, followed by the genera Cooperia, Trichostrongylus and Oesophagostomum. The protected fat did not decrease EPG and did not improve the blood parameters of infected sheep.

O design e o produto: parâmetros projetuais para o planejamento de jogos geométricos pré-escolares

Educational games are responsible for part of the information assimilated by the child, because these games respect the individual learning time, enabling experimentation and, consequently, being an accessory to retain the acquired knowledge spontaneously. However, the analogy between stimulus and reception/result is not always the expected. On the one hand, there are the pedagogues, bearing the knowledge necessary to the children’s development. On the other hand, are the children, who cannot completely assimilate the concept, commonly because of lack of planning on the product. After all, the children become not interested in the game, without developing the expected cognitive abilities planned for the product. Whereas the importance of the games on children’s development, this work aimed to analyze and select educational games presented on the preschool, based on the language exploration from the Design’s knowledge and skills. Specifically, the research intends to investigate games targeted to stimulate geometric concepts, and so, to describe parameters that must be observed during the product planning.

Desenvolvimento de produtos artesanais em bambu e em bambu laminado colado e a transferencia desse conhecimentopara a comunidade do Assentamento Rural Horto de Aimorés

Introdução: O bambu é uma cultura perene, renovável, de rápido crescimento, com produção anual de colmos e com milhares de possibilidades de uso. O Assentamento Rural Horto de Aimorés, distante 15 km da UNESP, possui cerca de 350 famílias assentadas pelo INCRA, desde o ano de 2007, e a comunidade, que tem por característica básica o trabalho com a terra, vem buscando alternativas de sustentabilidade, fixação ao campo e geração de renda. Este trabalho faz parte do projeto de extensão “Implantação do Projeto Bambu no Assentamento Rural Horto de Aimorés”, Unesp – Unisol / Banco Real - Santander, desenvolvido no Laboratório de Experimentação com Bambu da Unesp, campus de Bauru. O projeto de extensão universitária prevê um conjunto de atividades de capacitação e desenvolvimento pautadas em estudos na área da sustentabilidade e do design de modo a dar condições técnicas para geração de renda. Objetivos: O objetivo deste trabalho foi o desenvolvimento de três produtos artesanais em bambu, pulseira, pegador de pimenta e pote de aperitivos, capazes de gerar renda. Depois de desenvolvidos pelos agricultores, os produtos são periodicamente expostos ao público através da participação em feiras e mostras locais na cidade, como por exemplo, feira Ubá e feira do grupo Pão de Açúcar. Métodos: Este trabalho ocorreu em três etapas, a primeira envolvendo a colheita e processamento do bambu. A segunda através de oficinas de extensão com os agricultores, para a confecção dos produtos artesanais em bambu in natura. A terceira envolvendo a geração de renda com os agricultores através de participações em amostras e feiras locais. Resultados: As oficinas ocorreram de forma prática e permitiu aos agricultores o aprendizado de todo o processo para a confecção do produto final. A confecção dos produtos artesanais tem mostrado a viabilidade técnica da utilização do bambu como matéria prima e a capacitação e evolução mostrada pelos agricultores permitem que se desenvolvam novos produtos, num processo gradual e contínuo de aprendizado e geração de renda.

Apresentação de métodos para implementação de plataformas colaborativas de Sistemas Automatizados de Produção

Automated Production Systems Development involves aspects concerning the integration of technological components that exist on the market, such as: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), robot manipulators, various sensors and actuators, image processing systems, communication networks and collaborative supervisory systems; all integrated into a single application. This paper proposes an automated platform for experimentation, implemented through typical architecture for Automated Production Systems, which integrates the technological components described above, in order to allow researchers and students to carry out practical laboratory activities. These activities will complement the theoretical knowledge acquired by the students in the classroom, thus improving their training and professional skills. A platform designed using this generic structure will allow users to work within an educational environment that reflects most aspects found in Industrial Automated Manufacturing Systems, such as technology integration, communication networks, process control and production management. In addition, this platform offers the possibility complete automated process of control and supervision via remote connection through the internet (WebLab), enabling knowledge sharing between different teaching and research groups.

GeoGebra e o método de Briot & Bouquet para a resolução gráfica de equações cúbicas

In the mid-nineteenth century, french mathematicians Briot and Bouquet have proposed an intriguing graphical method for solving cubic equations "depressed" - the third degree equations that do not have the quadratic term. The proposal is simple geometric construction, though based on an ingenious algebra. We propose here the verification and testing graphical method through an instructional sequence using the software GeoGebra also present the ingenious algebraic development that resulted in this graphic method for determination of real roots of a cubic equation of the type x³ + px + q = 0 where p and q are real numbers. The method states that these solutions are summarized in the abscissas of the points of intersection of the circumference containing the origin and the center C (-q/2, 1-p/2) with the parable y = x².

Pesquisa aplicada em comunicação: uma tendência necessária

The history of communication as a science was marked by different moments. The first one was built by technological experimentation and later, by language transformation. But the consolidation of communication as applied social science has come from theoretical research, when Lasswell and Lazarsfeld respectively proposed the hypodermic and the two-step flow theories. However, applied research – which involves experimentation and its observation in a practical application process – is once again being targeted by the academy. This text develops an essay on the importance of applied research to the development of contemporary communication, presenting examples and methods related to such reality.

Mídia e desenvolvimento social no documentário transmídia

The genre documentary in itself characterized by citizen emancipation from the content discussed in his works. Termed as images of the people by Jean-Claude Bernardet (2003), the documentary is gaining traction in social development when added to citizen participation offered by transmedia storytelling. This study presents the results obtained from a literature search, the film analysis and experimentation supported in quasi-experimental methodology, results that support these conditions. Hopefully, from this discussion, consolidate the systematic development of transmedia documentary works in new media ecology and that maximizes the role of journalism by a traditionally audiovisual platform, now with other strands to the representation of the news.

Participação política, planos diretores e gestão urbana sob o Estatuto da Cidade

The hegemonic version of democracy is based on Schumpeter’s approach, a legacy of liberal pluralism that reduces the formation of legitimate majorities through representation. Nevertheless, the democratization of authoritarian countries has provided innovative experiences of civil society in new participatory formats. At the institutional level, the Statute of the City regulated the chapter of the Urban Policy of the Federal Constitution of 1988. It advocates participatory formats of public policies in urban management “through public participation and representative associations”. The construction of this agenda is the result of institutional imposition and it reflects the government decisions and civil society demands. This paper analyzes the participation, its ability to share decisions, and to what extent these participatory formats depend on governments for the implementation of new paradigms of urban management. The approach combines theoretical and empirical analysis of development processes of Master Plans normatively guided by the City Statute. The empirical basis is formed by three medium-sized cities in Sao Paulo state: Piracicaba, Bauru and Rio Claro.
