The effects of density on the growth and survival of different families of juvenile Penaeus japonicus Bate

Variations in the growth and survival of six families of juvenile (initial mean weight = 4.16 g) Penaeus japonicus were examined at two densities (48 and 144 individuals m(-2)) in a controlled laboratory experiment. Survival was very high throughout the experiment (95.4%), but differed significantly between densities and rearing tanks. Family, sex and family x density interaction did not significantly affect survival. Mean specific growth rate (SGR) of the shrimp was 18% faster at the low density (1.93 +/- 0.05% day(-1)) than at high density (1.64 +/- 0.03% day(-1)). However, there was a small but significant interaction between family and density indicating that growth of the families was not consistent at both densities. The inconsistent growth of the families across the two densities resulted in a change in the relative performance (ranking) of families at each density. Sex, rearing tank and rearing cage also affected growth of the shrimp. Mean SGR of the females (1.79 +/- 0.03% day(-1)) was 5% faster than males (1.70 +/- 0.03% day(-1)) when averaged across both densities. Shrimp grew significantly faster in rearing tank 3 than rearing tank 1 or 2 at both densities. Results of the present study suggest that family x density interaction could affect the efficiency of selection for growth if shrimp stocks produced from shrimp breeding programs are to be grown across a wide range of densities.

The cyclotide family of circular miniproteins: Nature's combinatorial peptide template

The cyclotides are a recently discovered family of miniproteins that contain a head-to-tail cyclized backbone and a knotted arrangement of disulfide bonds. They are approximately 30 amino acids in size and are present in high abundance in plants from the Violaceae, Rubiaceae, and Cucurbitaceae families, with individual plants containing a suite of up to 100 cyclotides. They have a diverse range of biological activities, including uterotonic, anti-HIV, antitumor, and antimicrobial activities, although their natural function is likely that of defending their host plants from pathogens and pests. This review focuses on the structural aspects of cyclotides, which may be thought of as a natural combinatorial peptide template in which a wide range of amino acids is displayed on a compact molecular core made up of the cyclic cystine knot structural motif. Cyclotides are exceptionally stable and are resistant to denaturation via thermal, chemical, or enzymatic treatments. The struclural features that contribute to their remarkable stability are described ill this review. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Le concept d'expérience chez John Dewey et la problématique de l'éducation morale

L'éducation morale peut-elle répondre au défi et au besoin d'une éthique personnelle et sociale? Comment l'école peut-elle mettre en branle un processus de socialisation chez les jeunes? Permet-elle d'éclairer, d'élargir et d'approfondir le contenu social des enjeux éthiques chez l'enfant quand celui-ci est aux prises constamment avec le devoir du rendement et des notes? La pédagogie de l'enseignement moral telle que vécue dans nos écoles ouvre-telle les portes à la socialisation ou au narcissisme et à l'individualisme? Y a-t-il, en fait, entre l'organisation scolaire et l'organisation sociale, une continuité grâce à laquelle la formation morale à l'école permet au jeune de s'engager dans le processus social tout en développant des connaissances et des aptitudes nécessaires pour comprendre les enjeux éthiques collectifs et proposer des pistes de solutions? Pour favoriser cette continuité, l'organisation scolaire ne devrait-elle pas être à l'image de l'organisation sociale? Ultimement, quel lien existe-t-il entre l'école québécoise et notre société? Ce rapide survol de la problématique de l'éducation morale nous permet de distinguer actuellement trois niveaux d'interrogation: la conception de l'être humain sous-jacente aux programmes, la finalité de l'enseignement dans les écoles du Québec, ainsi que son enjeu social. Soulever ainsi cette problématique nous aide à mieux réfléchir sur la situation et à proposer des pistes de solutions pour faire de l'éducation morale une théorie et une pratique toujours plus conformes aux expériences individuelles et sociales de chez nous. C'est à partir de ce questionnement global que le philosophe et pédagogue américain John Dewey (1859-1952) nous semble très pertinent. Face à la problématique de l'éducation morale au Québec, la référence spécifique à John Dewey nous semble crédible pour plusieurs raisons. […]

Revisión sistemática utilidad de asa y calcio con o sin vitamina d en la prevención de cáncer colorrectal y la recurrencia de pólipos adenomatosos en paciente con riesgo de padecer esta patología

Introducción: El cáncer colorrectal es una patología con alto impacto en la salud pública, debido a su prevalencia, incidencia, severidad, costo e impacto en la salud mental y física del individuo y la familia. Ensayos clínicos realizados en pacientes con antecedente de infarto al miocardio que consumían ácido acetil salicílico (asa), calcio con y sin vitamina D, mostraron asociación entre el consumo de estos medicamentos y disminución en la incidencia en cáncer colorrectal y pólipos adenomatosos. Objetivo: Evaluar la literatura sobre el uso de asa, calcio con y sin vitamina D con relación a su impacto en la prevención del cáncer colorrectal y pólipos adenomatosos. Métodos: Se realizó revisión sistemática buscando ensayos clínicos realizados en pacientes con factores de riesgo para cáncer colorrectal y pólipos adenomatosos que usaron asa, calcio con y sin vitamina D fueron incluidos. Resultados: se escogieron 105 para la revisión sistemática. Conclusiones: Es necesario desarrollar más estudios que lleven a evaluar el efecto protector de la aspirina, calcio y vitamina D. En los artículos revisados la aspirina a dosis de 81 a 325 mg día se correlaciona con reducción de riesgo de aparición de CRC aunque la dosis ideal, el tiempo de inicio y la duración de la ingesta continua no son claros. Hacen falta estudios que comparen poblaciones con ingesta de asa a diferentes dosis.
