Variação temporal e espacial da taxa de sedimentação e das características limnológicas na microbacia do córrego da Barrinha, no município de Pirassununga, SP

Studies regarding the quality and quantity of water have become more and more important because of the increasing negative environmental impacts occurred and their scarcity increase as well. At the Center of Tropical Fish Research (Centro de Pesquisas de Peixes Tropicais - CEPTAlIBAMA) located in the city of Pirassununga, SP, there is a dam named Represa Velha which supplies 128 tanks that are fish hatcheries. This dam takes in part of the Barrinha stream micro-basin where it has been observed strong impacts due to the deforestation of its support forest, as well an the intensive agricultural activities in the neighboring areas. There has been established and distributed 13 points of water-collectors disposed inside the stream and the dam. The water samples were taken from the stream only from its surface because of the low depth and, inside. In the dam, the water samples were taken at the water column, at a 50cm distance over the sediment. In every point of collection inside the dam, it was placed a chamber of sedimentation, vertically in the water column at a 70% height from the total depth. The collections took place during the dry/cold and raining/warm periods of the years 2000 and 2001. Then, it were analyzed the physical, physical-chemical, chemical and micro-biological parameters of the water samples. The obtained results were statistically analyzed throughout the SAS system (Statistical Analisys System). Parameters such as total phosphate, nitrate, nitrite and turbidity were within the established limits for the Class 2 water, according to the n° 20/1986 CONAMA Resolução. However, the total and Escherichia coli coliforms, mainly inside the Barrinha stream, had showed values above of the established limits for the same...

Cádmio, chumbo, cromo, mercúrio e níquel nos rios do estado de São Paulo e em peixes do Rio Sorocaba (São Paulo, Brasil)

To verify the levels of concentration of some heavy metals in fishes from Sorocaba river (São Paulo, Brazil) and evaluate if this contamination offers health risks to the fishermen, 63 samples of fishes collected from four points along the river were studied for cadmium, lead, chromium, nickel and mercury, with emphasis in this last, since it is the most toxic and most probable as a fish contaminant. Analyzing muscle samples by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry it was shown that the fishes are not contaminated. None of the five metals studied were present in prohibitive level and the fishes could be judged secure for human consume. It was also analyzed data from four years of cadmium, lead, chromium, nickel and mercury monitoring made by CETESB, from 1997 to 2000, in water from the main rivers of the State of São Paulo. The study pointed out that the majority of the monitored rivers still present contamination by those metals in a level that requires an improvement of the pollution control actions.

A memória do mundo e a confiança em Yves Bonnefoy

Cette communication prétend parcourir quelques poèmes de Les planches courbes (2001) d’Yves Bonnefoy à partir de l’opposition entre mémoire et oubli. Cette réflexion se trouve esquissée dans l’essai “Sous l’horizon du langage” du livre homonyme, lorsqu’il affirme que la poésie est “ce qui, dans l’espace des mots, notre monde, a mémoire du surcroît de ce qui est sur ses représentations” (2002 : 8). Il s’agit d’une mémoire établie moins à partir d’un lieu perdu que retrouvé. Ce à elle que le moi se confie: dans le “oui”, dans la paix, ces deux mots qui apparaissent dans ses livres les plus récents. Le poète apporterait une confiance qui reprendrait, d’une certaine façon, ce que Paul Ricoeur a caractérisé comme le sens des inscriptions-affections: “elles seraient le dépositaire de la signification la plus dissimulée, mais la plus originaire du verbe “demeurer”, synonyme de “durer”. Dans Les planches courbes, il s’agit également d’une mémoire de l’enfance et des mythes. Ce sont des événements qui prennent place dans un temps primordial. Espoir/confiance, donc, de remonter à une force plus ancienne de la langue, de soi-même, de l’être, de ses rapports. Remonter à une unité dans le simple, en reliant une appréhension du monde et de soi-même dans un acte de suffisance, dans lequel celui-ci se conjugue avec une espèce de dépossession: de l’idée, du concept, de l’image.

A verdade de palavra em Yves Bonnefoy e Marceline Desbordes-Valmore

Ce texte cherche à montrer l’étude critique réalisée par Yves Bonnefoy de la poésie de Marceline Desbordes-Valmore. En même temps qu’il fait une analyse de l’oeuvre de la poète du romantisme français, Bonnefoy fait connaître ses positions mêmes en ce qui concerne l’acte poétique.

Deutsche Welle Brasil: construção da notícia e representação social

Zusammenfassung: In dieser Studie wurde untersucht, wie Nachrichten, die vom Nachrichtenportal Deutsche Welle in portugiesischer Sprache veröffentlicht werden, produziert werden und inwieweit sie Brasilien und Deutschland bezüglich kulturellen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Aspekten repräsentieren. Der staatliche deutsche Auslandsrundfunk zeichnet sich durch seine internationale Reichweite aus und schafft Dialoge zwischen Deutschland und anderen Nationen. Angesichts der Schnittstelle zwischen Journalismus und Internet, haben wir uns auf den Sender Deutsche Welle, und dort vor allem auf die brasilianische Nachrichtenredaktion fokussiert. Dadurch war es möglich, den Kontext, in dem der analysierte journalistische Inhalt produziert wird, genau zu verstehen. Die Nachrichten wurden über einen Zeitraum von einer Woche im Portal gesammelt und anschließend einer quantitativen und qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse unterzogen (BARDIN, 2009). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, wie die Inhalte beide Länder repräsentieren und gleichzeitig die Redaktionsstrategie des Senders bestätigt wird. In Anbetracht des Effekts, den die Nachrichten und die übermittelte Repräsentation der beiden Länder in den Beiträgen auf die Meinungsbildung der Zielgruppe haben könnten, trägt diese Studie zum wissenschaftlichen Verständnis im journalistischen Bereich bei und regt zu weitere Studien über die Deutsche Welle an

Seroepidemiological analysis of toxoplasmosis in college students

Background Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis caused by an obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, which affects warm-blooded animals including humans. Its prevalence rates usually vary in different regions of the planet. Methods In this study, an analysis of the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among Brazilian students was proposed by means of IgG specific antibodies detection. The presence of anti-Toxoplasma gondiiantibodies by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was also evaluated in order to compare it with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to assess the use of 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride chromogens. Results The IFAT method showed a seroprevalence of 22.3%. These results were similar to those obtained by ELISA (24.1%). The seroprevalence was directly estimated from the IgG avidity, which showed that in a sample of 112 students, three of them had acute infection, an incidence of 1.6% in the studied population. Conclusion In this study, the use of different chromogenic substrates in immunoenzymatic ELISA assays did not display different sensitivity in the detection of T. gondii-reagent serum. The extrapolation of results to this population must be carefully considered, since the investigation was conducted on a reduced sample. However, it allows us to emphasize the importance of careful and well prepared studies to identify risk factors for toxoplasmosis, to adopt preventive measures and to offer guidance to at-risk populations about the disease.

Denture stomatitis--presence of bacteria and yeasts

The presence of yeasts and bacteria was studied in 26 patients with denture stomatites, and the results compared with the data of the normal mucosa foi edentoulous patients, who used or not upper dentures. The use of dentures caused an increase in the amount of yeasts, and there was a correlation with the severity of the stomatitis. Gram positives cocci and bacilus predominated in all studied groups, but in cases of stomatitis there was an increase in the amount of Gram negative cocci and filamentous. These results suggest that besides yeasts, modifications of the bacteria flora can be relevant for the development of denture stomatitis.
