A Grande Guerra foi o acontecimento pice de tenses acumuladas entre as potncias da Europa ainda no comeo da segunda dcada do sculo XX. O conflito deflagrado no vero de 1914 expandiu-se e envolveu naes de outros continentes, tornando-o mundial, com repercusses que extrapolaram os mais de quatro anos de batalhas oficiais atualmente pode-se concluir que a Segunda Guerra Mundial nada mais foi do que a segunda parte de um conflito que no acabou de forma a contentar todos os pases beligerantes. Entretanto, a Grande Guerra tambm demarcou o final de uma era conhecida como belle poque, um tempo que simbolicamente representava o apogeu cultural, econmico e social na Europa, inspirador do modelo civilizador em naes no novo mundo, inclusive no Brasil. Na Amaznia, sobretudo na capital do Estado do Par, Belm, vivia-se ainda sob o imaginrio da era da abundncia provocada pela exportao da borracha nativa, cujo inicio ocorreu no final do sculo XIX e na primeira dcada do sculo passado. Nesse cenrio, desenvolveu-se um jornalismo forte e muito sintonizado com as questes nacionais, regionais e de alm-mar. Formado por intelectuais, polticos e escritores, o jornalismo paraense cobriu de forma sistemtica os acontecimentos em torno da Grande Guerra, desde a morte do herdeiro do trono do Imprio Austro-hngaro, Francisco Ferdinando, at a paz ser selada. Com base neste panorma, o objetivo desta investigao centra-se no esforo para compreender a natureza da cobertura jornalstica dos jornais paraenses acerca da Primeira Guerra Mundial, tendo como objeto de anlise trs jornais dirios que circulavam poca: Estado do Par, Folha do Norte e A Tarde. Os dois primeiros eram jornais generalistas e de longo perodo de circulao. O terceiro foi um jornal vespertino, publicado entre setembro de 1915 e setembro de 1916, portanto, de carter ocasional. Para alcanar esse objetivo, a metodologia usada compreende as anlises quantitativa e qualitativa de contedo, conforme descrito por Sousa (2006). A primeira parte das anlises centra-se em avaliar os dados relativos ao nmero de peas, de espaos dedicados ao tema da guerra, entre outros aspectos quantificveis. Na segunda parte usou-se a anlise qualitativa com base no estudo do dilogo establecido entre os aspectos da historiografia e os achados jornalsticos nos trs jornais.

Both the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century have been characterized as a period of major political, economic, social and cultural transformations. Two of the major consequences of the political-economical crisis of the end of last century are the restructuring of capitalist production, and the consolidation of neoliberalism as a worldwide phenomenon. This new world political-economical scenario has influenced, in a dialectic way, the contemporary urban development. In that sense, "new" spatial processes and new paradigms in both urban management and urban planning have gained shape. In this context of urban transformations, the central areas of western cities, also known as historic centers, are being increasingly (re)valued. Since the Second World War, the historic centers urban areas which have great infrastructure and symbolic relevance had been undergoing a process of evasion of population and activities, undeniably linked to the neglect of government authorities. However, in recent decades, the question of historic centers rehabilitation has acquired a growing interest, academically and in political agendas. The object of this dissertation is to focus on how the government of each Brazil and Portugal has dealt with the issue of historic center rehabilitation through programs of urban rehabilitation

It is just over 20 years since Adobe's PostScript opened a new era in digital documents. PostScript allows most details of rendering to be hidden within the imaging device itself, while providing a rich set of primitives enabling document engineers to think of final-form rendering as being just a sophisticated exercise in computer graphics. The refinement of the PostScript model into PDF has been amazingly successful in creating a near-universal interchange format for complex and graphically rich digital documents but the PDF format itself is neither easy to create nor to amend. In the meantime a whole new world of digital documents has sprung up centred around XML-based technologies. The most widespread example is XHTML (with optional CSS styling) but more recently we have seen Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) emerge as an XML-based, low-level, rendering language with PostScript-compatible rendering semantics. This paper surveys graphically-rich final-form rendering technologies and asks how flexible they can be in allowing adjustments to be made to final appearance without the need for regenerating a whole page or an entire document. Particular attention is focused on the relative merits of SVG and PDF in this regard and on the desirability, in any document layout language, of being able to manipulate the graphic properties of document components parametrically, and at a level of granularity smaller than an entire page.

Pela importncia atual e crescente que o vinho tem na economia portuguesa, pela margem existente para a apresentao de temas de reflexo que acrescentem valor ao posicionamento do setor, pela experincia pessoal e paixo pela rea, decidi elaborar a minha dissertao numa temtica enquadrvel no setor do vinho, em particular no vinho Alvarinho proveniente do terroir que representa a Denominao de Origem Vinho Verde Sub-regio de Mono e Melgao. A estrutura deste estudo assenta em duas dimenses: a primeira, numa perspetiva local, assente na recente deciso de alargar a Denominao Origem Vinho Verde Alvarinho a todas as sub-regies que integram a Regio dos Vinhos Verdes, com efeitos em 2021. Pelo que se procurar mostrar a importncia da relao desta casta com o seu terroir de origem e, perante esta interligao, qual o fator mais importante a utilizar na comunicao do vinho. A segunda prende-se com a dimenso internacional que se pretende para o Alvarinho no mercado dos grandes vinhos brancos mundiais, onde encontramos castas brancas de renome como a Chardonnay e a Riesling, face a esta exposio e crescente aposta na casta a nvel mundial, como agir perante a potencial ameaa que representa a entrada dos pases do Novo Mundo. Posto isto, neste contexto que se coloca a questo que est na gnese desta dissertao: de que forma o terroir contribui como fator de diferenciao e de vantagem competitiva do Alvarinho produzido na Denominao de Origem Vinho Verde Sub-regio Mono e Melgao no mercado dos grandes vinhos brancos mundiais? Cuja resposta poder em grande parte estar, no meu entendimento, na anlise de um caso de sucesso, que nesta dissertao representada pelo trabalho realizado em torno do Rieseling produzido no Vale de Mosel e que contribuiu para que este tivesse conquistado a sua reputao.

Leishmaniasis are endemic diseases wild spread in the New and Old World, caused by the flagelated protozoan Leishmania. In the New World, the distribution of different forms of leishmaniasis is mostly in tropical regions. In the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeast Brazil, 85% of the captured sand flies fauna is Lutzomyia longipalpis. The distribution of the sand fly vector in the state overlaps with the disease distribution, where the presence of sand flies is associated with presence of animals shelters. The aim of this study was to analyse the blood meal preference of sand flies vector from the genus Lutzomyia spp. in laboratory conditions, to verify the vector life cicle at different temperatures sets and to identify the main blood meal source in endemic areas for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) at peri-urban regions of Natal. Sand flies samples were collected from the municipalities of So Gonalo do Amarante and Nsia Floresta where female sand flies were grouped for the colony maintenance in the laboratory and for the analysis of the preferred source of sand fly blood meal in natural environment. The prevalence of blood meal preference and oviposition for the females sand flies was 97% for Cavia porcellus with oviposition of 19 eggs/female; 97% for Eqqus caballus with 19 eggs/female; 98% for human blood with 14 eggs/female; 71.3% for Didelphis albiventris with 8.4 eggs/female; 73% for Gallus gallus with 14 eggs/female; 86% for Canis familiaris with 10.3 eggs/female; 81.4% for Galea spixii with 26 eggs/female; 36% for Callithrix jachus with 15 eggs/female; 42.8% for Monodelphis domestica with 0% of oviposition. Female sand flies did not take a blood meal from Felis catus. Sand flies life cycle ranged from 32-40 days, with 21-50 oviposition rates approximately. This study also showed that at 32C the life cycle had 31 days, at 28 C it had 50 days and at 22C it increased to 79 days. Adjusting the temperature to 35C the eggs did not hatch, thus blocking the life cycle. A total of 1540 sand flies were captured, among them, 1.310 were male and 230 were female. Whereas 86% of the sand flies captured were Lu. longipalpis as compared to 10.5% for Lu. evandroi and, 3.2% for L. lenti and 0.3% for Lu whitmani. The ratio between female and male sandfly was approximately 6 males to 1 female. In Nsia Floresta, 50.7% of the collected females took their blood meal from armadillo, 12.8% from human. Among the female sand flies captured in So Gonalo do Amarante, 80 of them were tested for the Leishmania KDNA infectivity where 5% of them were infected with Leishmania chagasi. Female Lutzomyia spp. showed to have an opportunistic blood meal characteristic. The behavioral parameters seem to have a higher influence in the oviposition when compared to the level of total proteins detected in the host s bloodstream. A higher Lu. longipalpis life cycle viability was observed at 28C. The increase of temperature dropped the life cycle time, which means that the life cycle is modified by temperature range, source of blood meal and humidity. Lu longipalpis was the most specie found in the inner and peridomiciliar environment. In Nsia Floresta, armadillos were the main source of blood meal for Lutzomyia spp. At So Gonalo do Amarante, humans were the main source of blood meal due to CDC nets placed inside their houses

A presente investigao se insere na linha de pesquisa Educao, Linguagens e Utopias do Programa de Ps-Graduao em Educao da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande PPGEDU\FURG e teve como problemtica central compreender quais so os processos formadores que se entrelaam nas histrias escolares das mulheres pescadoras artesanais da Ilha dos Marinheiros, situada s margens da Lagoa dos Patos, na cidade do Rio Grande (RS). A pesquisa justificou-se em virtude da desvalorizao do trabalho desenvolvido pelas mulheres pescadoras artesanais dentro do ciclo produtivo pesqueiro artesanal, as quais buscaram a escola novamente em suas vidas por meio de um Projeto de Educao formal destinado a jovens e adultos moradores de uma comunidade tradicional de pesca artesanal. A investigao construda se enquadra na metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa. A produo dos dados constituiu-se de quatro encontros junto a trs mulheres pescadoras artesanais e foram utilizados diferentes instrumentos investigativos para produo dos dados: entrevistas semiestruturadas e observaes registradas em Dirio de Campo. Para a interpretao dos fenmenos investigados, utilizou-se a Anlise Textual Discursiva (ATD), composta primeiramente pela unitarizao dos dados, seguido da categorizao dos mesmos, captao do novo emergente e a reconstruo textual. Compreende-se a metodologia de pesquisa como parte integrante da construo contnua de todo o processo investigativo. O estudo fundamentou-se nas contribuies tericas de autores como Maria Cristina Maneschy, Paulo Freire, Caroline Terra de Oliveira, Antnio Diegues, entre outros. Neste estudo foram trs as categorias que emergiram: A escola do hoje e a escola do ontem: as experincias escolares das mulheres pescadoras artesanais; A volta escola para mulheres pescadoras artesanais: construo de sentimentos de emancipao; O que dizem as mulheres pescadoras artesanais sobre a profisso. Nesta ltima categoria as participantes da pesquisa falaram sobre o que ser pescadora artesanal e se apresentaram enquanto profissionais da pesca artesanal, assim como reconheceram a atuao das famlias em prol das comunidades tradicionais. Na primeira categoria, os dilogos com as participantes da pesquisa, aliados as interlocues tericas possibilitaram a compreenso sobre o que pensam e dizem as mulheres pescadoras artesanais sobre suas experincias escolares, apresentado suas vivncias escolares em escolas distintas, porm ambas as experincias compuseram seus processos de escolarizao. Contudo, enfatiza-se na segunda categoria que voltar escola possibilitou novas releituras de mundo para as pescadoras artesanais, fortalecendo a autonomia das mulheres em prol da luta pela valorizao da categoria em meio crise socioambiental enfrentada pelas comunidades pesqueiras tradicionais.

O gnero Equus teve origem na Amrica do Norte e alguns exemplares migraram para a Eursia pelo Estreito de Bering, durante a ltima glaciao. No fim da glaciao, todos os cavalos do continente americano extinguiram-se, mas sobreviveram nas estepes da Eursia, na Peninsula lbrica e nas florestas da Europa Ocidental e Central. O cavalo Lusitano teve a sua origem em cavalos selvagens e domesticados da Peninsula lbrica, ocorrendo uma mistura com outros animais trazidos por eventos migratrios ocorridos no passado. Os cavalos deste gene pool contribuiram para o desenvolvimento de outras raas modernas na Europa e foram mais tarde introduzidos e dispersos pelo continente Americano, tornando-se fundadores de numerosas raas do novo mundo. A raa Lusitana uma raa equina autctone portuguesa, com especial relevancia econmica no panorama nacional e internacional. Apesar de no ser uma raa ameaada, alguns autores defendem que a informao genealgica disponivel (pedigrees) indica que uma utilizao excessiva de um reduzido nmero de reprodutores machos esta a diminuir a diversidade gentica da raa, tendo como consequncia o aumento da consanguinidade e a diminuio do tamanho efetivo da populao para cerca de metade dos valores recomendados pela FAO. No entanto, a anlise da diversidade gentica com base em 16 microssatlites (Marcadores de DNA) a um grupo de 2699 machos da raa Lusitana, nascidos entre 1985 e 2010 e inscritos como reprodutores no Livro Genealgico da raa, revelou um elevado nvel de diversidade, idntico ao encontrado na maioria das raas equinas. Dada a crescente relevncia da Crioconservao, omo estratgia complementar para a conservao da diversidade gentica in situ, e tendo em conta que no existe criopreservao de oocitos, embries ou smen, do cavalo de raa Lusitana em Banco de Genes, selecionaram-se 62 machos reprodutores (garanhes) com interesse gentico para a criopreservao de smen, quer no sentido de preservar a diversidade da raa quer no da salvaguardar em caso de calamidade; ABSTRACT: The genus Equus originated in North America and some exemplary migrated to Eurasia through the Bering Strait during the last glaciation. By the end of the last glaciation, all horses on the American continent became extinct but the genus survived in the steppes of Eurasia, in the Iberian Peninsula and on the Central and West Europe forests. The Lusitano horse breed has its origins in wild and domesticated horses of the Iberian Peninsula, where a mixture with other animals brought by migratory events in the past occurred. The horses of this gene pool contributed to the development of other modern breeds in Europe and were later introduced and spread throughout the American continent, becoming founders of numerous breeds of the New World. The Lusitano horse breed, is a Portuguese native equine breed, with special economic relevance in the national and international scene. Although not being an endangered breed, some authors argue that the available genealogical information (pedigrees) indicates that an excessive use of a limited number of stallions is decreasing the genetic diversity of the breed, resulting in the increase of inbreeding and on the decrease of the effective population size to about half of the values recommended by FAO. However, the analysis of genetic diversity based on 16 microsatellites (DNA markers) in a group of 2699 males of the Lusitano horse breed, born between 1985 and 2010 and registered as Stallions in the Studbook, revealed a high level of diversity similar to that found in the majority of equine breeds. Given the growing relevance of Cryopreservation as a complementary strategy for the conservation of genetic diversity in situ and, taking into consideration the inexistence of criopreservation for oocytes, embryos and semen, in a Gene Bank, for the Lusitano horse breed, 62 breeding males (stallions) with genetic interest for semen cryopreservation were selected in order either to preserve the diversity of the breed or as safeguard in case of calamity.

Mangroves are under threat worldwide by deforestation, overexploitation and climate change. The availability and consumption rates of propagules influence mangrove recruitment and can play a major role in their viability and restoration potential. We assess the potential trophic competition between Goniopsis cruentata and Ucides cordatus, two dominant crab species in the New World, by experimentally comparing herbivory levels between forest stands with varying crab abundance. We hypothesize that herbivory rates (HR) of G. cruentata will be lower in mangroves where it coexists with U. cordatus than in mangroves where U. cordatus is absent. The removal of Rhizophora mangle propagules was very rapid, and HR were overall high and increased through time. However, HR did not differ significantly between mangroves with and without the potential trophic competitor U. cordatus. Our study did not support previous literature indications of food competition between these two crab species, which seem to have developed strategies for competition avoidance.

The study of textiles is an open area of scientific research, which for its variety of material components and physical chemical diversity of conditions, makes a field of interest for scientific studies in the cultural heritage field. Archaeological/historical textiles offer the possibility to carry out studies on organic materials such as fibers, adhesion elements, dyes, paper, etc., as well as on inorganic compounds for instance metals, alloys, precious stones and other added ornamentation. That variety of composition, allow to use a combination of analytical techniques to solve the questions coming from the object in an archaeometric research. One kind of textile object that provides a valuable cultural information because of its linguistic representation employed by its carrier societies, are the flags/banners/emblems, objects made with a nonverbal communication purpose. As long as depending on the use and/or purpose of each object, varies both the materials/techniques used in its production and its iconography (style, color, emblem, shape), its study gives the possibility to extract information through their materials and manufacturing techniques about a temporal-spatial frame, a particular event or a specific character. The flags/banners have been used since the eleventh century as representative objects of power, hierarchy, social or military organization, or as communicative media. The use of these objects has been spread throughout the world, possibly due to its easy interpretation and/or appropriation by different societies, making it part of their own culture. The flags as symbols of territorial control, using emblems that represent a family, order or army, were introduced to the New World (America) with the arrival of the European conquerors at the end of the fifteenth century. Flags/banners representing the Royal dominion over conquered territories, the Catholic Church and conquistadors armies were the first to arrive. One of those flags that have endured over time, that have an invaluable cultural meaning for both American and Iberian societies, is the so-called Francisco Pizarros Banner of Arms. It is a textile object with metal threads decoration over a Royal emblem. According to historical sources, this object was used by Francisco Pizarro in 1532 on the conquest process of Peru, after received the permission by King Charles V to on behalf of him, to conquer the lands of the New World today known as Peru. After Pizarros control of the Inca territory, it is believed that Pizarro left his banner on top of the Incas Suns Temple as symbol of his rule. Centuries later, in the America libertarian campaigns, General Sucre, military at charge of the independence army in Peru, reports have found what he considered the Pizarros Banner, sending it to Bogot as a symbol of victory, being kept since that time until today by the National Museum of Colombia. Due to historical discrepancies in the different movements of the so-called Pizarros Banner of Arms, its real meaning has been under discussion and because of the passage of time its physical condition has suffer deterioration. That is because its scientific study is now an interesting case study to respond to both historical and conservation questions of it. Through a collaboration with the National Museum of Colombia, a set of 25 samples of so-called Pizarros Banner of Arms were collected, covering the various components and areas from the object of study. These samples were subjected to analytical studies for physical and chemical characterization. Microscopic observation, VSEM-EDS analysis, Raman spectroscopy, chromatographic analysis (HPLC-MS, GCMS) and radiocarbon dating were done. Similarly, was sought through a direct in situ physical inspection to the object and through a research into historical sources, adequate information to solve the objects problems. Results obtained allowed to identify as silk the textile used in the elaboration of the Banners fabric, as well as the use of natural dyes for dyeing the fibers used on the emblem: use of cochineal and brazil wood as a source of red, luteolin plant-based for yellow color, indigotine plant-based for blue, and a mixture of yellow and blue dyes for green were identified. Similarly, the use of animal glue in the manufacturing process and the use of rag paper was evident. The metal threads study from the Banner give a confirmation to a silver core wire gilded with a thin gold sheet, being flattened and entwined with silk threads for their use. Finally, using the radiocarbon results, it was possible to postulate with huge accuracy that the Banner date manufacture was between the XV-XVI century and subject to restoration processes with addition of textiles in modern times. Together with, was evident that the state of degradation of the fabric is due to natural degradation in the silk fibers, having that its color has faded and its mechanical properties decreased, leading to loss of rigidity and disappearance of the physical structure. Similarly, it was clear the original colors of the emblem and highlight problems of detachment of paper due to crystallization of the adhesive. In the same way, was found that the metal threads suffer corrosion by sulfur and detachment of its crystals. Finally, combining the analytical results and the historical sources data found from the so-called Francisco Pizarros Banner of Arms, allows to postulate that its manufacture process was done in Europe employing precious materials to obtain a long-life object with a deep message for its viewers. Also, the data obtained helps to support the possible idea that the object was employed by Francisco Pizarro in the Peru conquest process. However, by the symbols present in the object, its elaboration date and materials, this object its clearly unique in its kind, and the most important, by its linguistic message, does not represent to Francisco Pizarro or his army, meanwhile, represents the Spanish crown. Therefore, instead to be labeled as Francisco Pizarros Banner of Arms, it should be called the Colonial Royal Banner of Charles V in the New World; RESUMEN: El estudio de textiles es un rea abierta de investigacin cientfica, la cual por su variedad de componentes materiales y la diversidad de condiciones fsico-qumicas presentes en estos objetos, lo hace un campo de inters para estudios cientficos en el patrimonio cultural. Los textiles arqueolgicos/histricos brindan la posibilidad de realizar estudios en materiales orgnicos como fibras, elementos de adhesin, tinturas, papel, etc., e inorgnicos como metales, aleaciones, piedras preciosas y dems materiales decorativos aadidos. Por su variedad de composicin, es posible emplear diversas tcnicas analticas para resolver aquellas preguntas propias del objeto en una investigacin arqueomtrica. Uno de los objetos textiles que brinda gran informacin cultural debido a su representacin lingstica empleada por las sociedades portadoras, son las banderas/estandartes/emblemas. Donde vara dependiendo de su uso y/o propsito, los materiales empleados en su elaboracin, al igual que su iconografa (estilo, color, emblema, forma). El estudio de estos objetos construidos con un propsito de comunicacin no verbal, da la posibilidad de extraer informacin a travs de sus materiales y tcnicas de elaboracin sobre un rango temporal-espacial, un evento determinado en la historia o incluso a un personaje en especfico. Las banderas han sido empleadas desde el siglo XI como objetos representativos de poder, jerarqua, organizacin social o militar, o como medio de comunicacin. El uso de estos objetos se ha extendido a lo largo del mundo posiblemente debido a su fcil interpretacin y/o apropiacin por distintas sociedades, hacindolo parte de su cultura. Las banderas como smbolos de control territorial, empleando smbolos que representan a una familia, orden o armada fueron introducidas a el Nuevo Mundo (Amrica) con la llegada de los conquistadores europeos al final del siglo XV. Las banderas/estandartes que representaban el dominio Real sobre territorios dominados, la iglesia catlica y las banderas de ejrcitos y/o conquistadores fueron las primeras en llegar al nuevo mundo. Una de aquellas banderas que ha soportado el paso del tiempo, teniendo un gran valor cultural tanto para las sociedades americanas como para las ibricas, es el denominado Estandarte de armas de Francisco Pizarro. Siendo un objeto textil con decoracin en hilos metlicos sobre un emblema Real. De acuerdo a fuentes histricas, este objeto fue usado por Francisco Pizarro en 1532 en el proceso de conquista del Per, quien recibe por parte del Rey Carlos V el poder para que, en su nombre, Pizarro pueda conquistar las tierras del nuevo mundo hoy conocidas como Per. Luego del dominio de Pizarro sobre el territorio Inca, se cree que Pizarro dej su estandarte en la cima del templo Inca del sol como smbolo de su control. Siglos ms tarde, en las campaas libertarias de Amrica, el General Sucre, militar encargado de la armada independentista en Per, reporta haber encontrado lo que l considera como el estandarte de Pizarro, envindolo a Bogot como muestra de victoria, siendo custodiada desde ese momento por el Museo Nacional de Colombia hasta la actualidad. Debido a discrepancias histricas, el verdadero significado del llamado estandarte de Pizarro ha sido objeto de discusin y debido del pasar del tiempo su estado de conservacin se ha deteriorado. Dejando de este modo, un caso de estudio interesante para que por medio de estudios cientficos al objeto se pueda dar respuesta a preguntas tanto histricas como de conservacin del mismo. De este modo, por medio de una colaboracin con el Museo Nacional de Colombia, se obtuvo un juego de 25 muestras del llamado Estandarte de armas de Francisco Pizarro, abarcando los diferentes componentes y reas del objeto de estudio. Dichas muestras fueron sometidas a estudios analticos para su caracterizacin fsico-qumica. Anlisis de observacin al microscopio, anlisis VSEM-EDS, espectroscopia Raman, anlisis cromatogrficos (HPLC-MS, GC-MS) y datacin por radiocarbono catorce fueron realizados. Del mismo modo, por medio de una inspeccin fsica al objeto in situ y una profunda investigacin en fuentes histricas del mismo, se busc la informacin adecuada para resolver sus problemticas. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron identificar como seda el textil empleado en la elaboracin del estandarte, as como el uso de colorantes naturales para teir las fibras en el emblema: uso de cochinilla y palo de Brasil como fuente del color rojo, plantas a base de luteolin para el color amarillo, plantas a base de indigotina para el color azul y mezcla de colorantes amarillos y azules para el color verde fueron identificadas. Del mismo modo se evidencio el uso de adhesivos animales y el uso de papel de trapos en el proceso de manufactura. El estudio de los hilos metlicos, permiti evidenciar el uso de alambres con ncleos de plata con un fino recubrimiento de oro en su exterior, siendo aplanados y entrelazados con hilos de seda para su uso. Finalmente usando la datacin por radiocarbono, fue posible conocer con alta precisin que el estandarte fue elaborado entre los siglos XV-XVI y sufri procesos de restauracin con aadidura de textiles en tiempos modernos. Junto a lo anterior, es posible postular que el estado de degradacin de la tela es debido a degradacin natural en las fibras de seda, teniendo as que su color se ha desvanecido y sus propiedades mecnicas disminuidas, conllevando a perdida de rigidez y desaparicin de la estructura. Del mismo modo se pudo conocer los colores originales del emblema y evidenciar problemas de desprendimiento del papel debido a cristalizacin del adhesivo. Asimismo, se comprob que los hilos metlicos presentan corrosin por azufre y desprendimiento de sus cristales. Finalmente, combinando los resultados analticos y la informacin de fuentes histricas encontradas del llamado Estandarte de armas de Francisco Pizarro, se puede postular que su elaboracin fue realizada en Europa, usando materiales preciosos para obtener un objeto de larga vida con un profundo mensaje para sus observadores. Tambin, los datos obtenidos ayudan a dar soporte la posible idea de que este objeto fue usado por Francisco Pizarro en el proceso de conquista del Per. Sin embargo, debido a los smbolos presentes en el objeto, fecha y materiales de elaboracin, este objeto es claramente nico en su tipo, y lo ms importante, por su mensaje lingstico, este no representa a Francisco Pizarro o su armada, al contrario, representa a la Corona de Espaa. Por ende, en vez de denominarse como Estandarte de armas de Francisco Pizarro, este objeto debera nombrarse como el Estandarte Real de la Colonia de Carlos V en el Nuevo Mundo.
