Nykter bildning : En undersökning över IOGT, NTO och TO:s folkbildningsverksamhet i Dalarna 1921-1939

This study contents a research of the Swedish temperance movements IOGT, NTO and TO:s adult education in Dalarna between 1921 and 1939. A theory that is used in this essay is the publicity theory of Jürgen Habermas. A theory in this essay is that the adult educational work of the temperance movements could bee seen as an alternative publicity because the courses that the temperance movement held in general contents a great part of the movements own literature, the participants in the courses held their own lectures to each other and it was mostly only members of the temperance movements who could join the courses. The main subject of the courses was history in literature, English, Esperanto, and knowledge about local democracy. Not many courses content the drinking issue in Sweden at this time, even thought a national referendum was held in the issue during the research period of this essay. The lack of courses in the drinking issue illustrates of the fact that the courses only was held for the members of the temperance movement, and they don’t drink alcohol in any case. It was not a big difference in the contents of the course between the organisation in the temperance movements and between different years in this research.

Att välja döden : en komparativ självmordsundersökning för Kyrkefalla och Linköping under åren 1800-1921

Syftet med den här studien är att studera självmordet komparativt mellan Kyrkefalla i Västra Götaland och staden Linköping mellan åren 1800-1921. Den här tidsperioden var en mist sagt händelserik period i svensk historia. Man gick mot en allt högre sekularisering, demokratisering samt en folkökning. Självmordet kom dessutom att avkriminaliseras 1864 vilket kan vara en av annledningarna till att allt fler självmord uppmärksammas i kyrkböckerna. Vidae visar den här studien att självmordens frekvens tenderar att öka under tidens gång, både i Kyrkefalla och i Linköping. Det är under den här tidsperioden mestadels män som självaväljer att avsluta sina liv. För Kyrkefallas del 94% medan det för Linköping handlar om 86,5%. Majoriteten av de som väljer den här vägen för sig själva tillhörde den så kallade arbetarklassen och de vanligaste metoderna för detta ändamål var at antingen hänga sig eller dränka sig. Män valde oftast det första alternativet medan kvinnor föredrog det andra.

Biologia termal das tartarugas Trachemys dorbigni (Duméril & Bibron, 1835) e Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied, 1839) dos lagos de Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil (Testudines, Emydidae)

Nos lagos artificiais dos parques de Porto Alegre, pode-se observar um número muito grande de tartarugas, tanto a nativa Trachemys dorbigni quanto a norte-americana Trachemys scripta elegans estando abundantemente presentes nos mesmos. Este trabalho realizou-se nos lagos do Parque Moinhos de Vento e Jardim Botânico com o objetivo de se obter dados a respeito do comportamento de assoalhamento, interações agressivas realizadas durante esta atividade e biologia termal desses quelônios. Nessas coletas, os exemplares foram marcados, suas temperaturas cloacais registradas e dados morfométricos foram medidos. Realizou-se amostragens no período de setembro de 2003 a outubro de 2004, com coletas de dados para comportamento de assoalhamento e biologia termal ocorrendo quinzenalmente em ambos lagos. As amostragens a respeito das interações agressivas ocorreram durante quatro dias por estação do ano somente no Parque Moinhos de Vento. O padrão de comportamento de assoalhamento encontrado para ambas as espécies foi basicamente do tipo unimodal simétrico para os dois locais de coleta, sendo T. scripta elegans a espécie que ocupou previamente os locais disponíveis para esta atividade. As temperaturas corpóreas de ambas espécies coletadas dentro d’água, foram altamente relacionadas com a temperatura da água, enquanto indivíduos coletados em assoalhamento, apresentaram temperaturas cloacais mais relacionadas com as temperaturas do substrato que estava sendo utilizado, do que com as temperaturas do ar. Foi obtida uma taxa de 2,3 interações agressivas por hora observada, considerando-se esta atividade como bastante freqüente entre as espécies observadas. T. scripta elegans demonstrou-se mais agressiva que T. dorbigni causando, assim, uma interferência no comportamento de assoalhamento da mesma, e apresentando um perfil muito semelhante às características termorregulatórias que possui em seu hábitat natural.

Entre a ação legislativa e o constrangimento político: o Conselho Municipal do Distrito Federal (1921-1930)

Este trabalho tem como objetivo central analisar a dinâmica política da capital federal, através da atuação do Conselho Municipal do Distrito Federal, nos anos de 1920. Partindo da ideia de que a década em questão foi assinalada por profundas transformaçõe s e efervescência política, busca - se perceber como o Legislativo carioca operou, politicamente, nos anos em tela. Além de elucidar a relação estabelecida entre os principais poderes municipais no período – os intendentes e os prefeitos – identificamos o co ntexto político - partidário da época; destacamos os principais posicionamentos assumidos pelo Conselho frente determinadas conjunturas - chave da política nacional e lançamos luz sobre a heterogeneidade do Legislativo local nos anos vinte. Para cumprir este propósito esta pesquisa se estrutura a partir dos Anais do Conselho Municipal, do Boletim da Prefeitura, do Regimento Interno do Conselho e da Imprensa carioca, através do jornal Correio da Manhã.

The interdisciplinary perspective on International Law and International Relations by Anne-Marie Slaughter

Este artigo consiste em uma resenha crítica sobre a reflexão de Anne-Marie Slaughter para uma aproximação interdisciplinar entre Direito Internacional e Relações Internacionais. Slaughter tem sido apontada, internacionalmente, como uma das protagonistas neste debate acadêmico, e sua obra é indicada como uma das mais influentes na academia dos Estados Unidos da América, no século XX. Em tempos de aproximação entre juristas e internacionalistas no Brasil, o artigo procura contribuir com a contextualização da produção da autora, bem como elucidar os momentos de influência das suas atividades em outros centros de discussão e produção. A proposta principal deste artigo é, assim, favorecer um mapeamento histórico e contextualizado da chamada para o debate interdisciplinar entre Direito Internacional e Relações Internacionais, a partir dos trabalhos de um de seus pivôs na academia nos Estados Unidos.

Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752-1833) e suas obras em Teoria dos Números

The present thesis is an analysis of Adrien-Marie Legendre s works on Number Theory, with a certain emphasis on his 1830 edition of Theory of Numbers. The role played by these works in their historical context and their influence on the development of Number Theory was investigated. A biographic study of Legendre (1752-1833) was undertaken, in which both his personal relations and his scientific productions were related to certain historical elements of the development of both his homeland, France, and the sciences in general, during the 18th and 19th centuries This study revealed notable characteristics of his personality, as well as his attitudes toward his mathematical contemporaries, especially with regard to his seemingly incessant quarrels with Gauss about the priority of various of their scientific discoveries. This is followed by a systematic study of Lagrange s work on Number Theory, including a comparative reading of certain topics, especially that of his renowned law of quadratic reciprocity, with texts of some of his contemporaries. In this way, the dynamics of the evolution of his thought in relation to his semantics, the organization of his demonstrations and his number theoretical discoveries was delimited. Finally, the impact of Legendre s work on Number Theory on the French mathematical community of the time was investigated. This investigation revealed that he not only made substantial contributions to this branch of Mathematics, but also inspired other mathematicians to advance this science even further. This indeed is a fitting legacy for his Theory of Numbers, the first modern text on Higher Arithmetic, on which he labored half his life, producing various editions. Nevertheless, Legendre also received many posthumous honors, including having his name perpetuated on the Trocadéro face of the Eiffel Tower, which contains a list of 72 eminent scientists, and having a street and an alley in Paris named after him

Caracterização in situ e diversidade genética de algodoeiros mocós (Gossypium hissutum raça marie galante) da Região Nordeste do Brasil

Brazil is one of the major centers of diversity for polyploid cotton plants; these plants belong to the genus Gossypium, which has three known species: G. hirsutum, G. barbadense and G. mustelinum. The Northeast is the only region where the three species occur, the last group being endemic. Northeast s cotton plants can be important sources of variability for genetic breeding. It is believed that great part of local diversity is being lost, due to economic, political, cultural and agricultural problems. In an attempt to mitigate this loss and delineate conservation strategies it is necessary to know how the species are found where they occur. The objective was to characterize and determine how plants are maintained in situ in the states of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba at the beginning of the XXI century. The in situ characterization of G. hirsutum and G. barbadense was conducted through structured interviews with the cotton plants owners and through the analysis of the environment. The data were collected during expeditions undertaken between the years 2004 to 2005. Twenty-two plants were collected in the state of Paraíba, forty-four in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, one hundred and forty-six in the state of Ceará, forty in the state of Maranhão and ninety-one plants in the state of Piauí. All plants collected in the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte belonged to moco type. Moco cotton plants also predominated in the other states, representing 92%, 62% and 78% of plants collected in Ceará, Piauí and Maranhão, respectively. The other cotton plants collected belong to the species G. barbadense. The cotton plants were found in situ as dooryard plants, roads side, feral populations, cultivation or local varieties. Great part were dooryard plants (45.2%), being major in Piauí and Maranhão. Cultivation predominated in Ceará; in Rio Grande do Norte feral populations were the most frequent and, in Paraíba, local varieties. The maintenance of moco plants is related, mainly, to the phytotherapic domestic use (20.9%) and to confection of lamp wicks (29.7%). Few inhabitants in Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Piauí and none in Maranhão used harvest the plants, storage the seeds or gin; however, in Ceará, 40.5% of owners affirmed that they harvested and commercialized the fiber. It was found that the maintenance of species is dependent of the fragile cultural habits of local inhabitants, therefore the maintenance in situ is not a suitable way to conservation of genetic resources. The efforts must be directed to the continuity of collections, maintenance and characterization ex situ

Dinâmica de reprodução e comportamento reprodutivo de branchoneta Dendrocephalus brasiliensis Pesata, 1921 como incremento na produção de alimento vivo para peixes ornamentais

Reproductive behavior of Dendrocephalus brasiliensis Pesta, 1921(Crustacean: Anostracan). The reproductive behavior of fresh water Anostracan has been poorly investigated in carcinology specialized literature, specifically in relation to Dendrocephlaus brasiliensis Pesta, 1921, with abundant data just about the geographical distribution of that Anostracan. The objective of this work was to know the reproductive behavior of this Anostracan, in different seasons (dry and raine). For this, ripe individuals of both sexes were collected in four pond of the of Fish farming Station of Paulo Afonso (EPPA), through monthly captures in each ponds, from December 2004 to November 2005. The type of reproduction was observed after the placing in aquariums (a) of then with males and (b) other on individually, at the nauplii phase, where they stayed for 15 days until the reproductive age. The sexual proportion was calculated through the relative frequencies of males and females, every month, for the whole collection period during 10 days. the production of cysts was related to the size of the female. The male: female ratio in the study period was 1 male:1,07 female. The proportion male:female was from 48,25% : 51,75% along the year. Concerning the type of reproduction, it was observed that this specie is characteerized by sexual reproduction

Bacterial contamination of the catfish (Cathorops agassizii - Valenciennes, 1839 and Genidens genidens - Agassiz, 1829) sting

This work aimed to study the bacterial contamination in stings of the catfish Genidens genidens and Cathorops agassizii found in the São Vicente estuarine system (São Paulo State, Brazil). For bacteriological analyses, we used fish samples distributed into a group of 50 specimens (25 C. agassizii and 25 G. genidens) and a group of 14 specimens (7 C. agassizii and 7 G. genidens). Results showed contamination of 13 different bacterial species of Enterobacteriaceae, being Klebsiella pneumoniae the most frequent bacteria (26.80%) followed by Enterobacter sp and Escherichia coli (16.27%), and Serratia marcescens, Serratia sp. and Proteus mirabilis (1.16%). Gram-positive bacteria as well as fungi were not detected in the samples. According to the Gram-negative species characterized and with regard to the environmental conditions, it can also be considered that accidents with these catfish stings may develop significant acute secondary infections in humans.
