Las canciones infantiles de transmisión oral en Murcia durante el siglo XX.

Contribuir al mejor conocimiento de la oralidad infantil analizando su evolución durante el siglo XX. Las canciones infantiles de transmisión oral en Murcia. El proceso se compone de dos partes . La primera se dedica al trabajo de campo , muy similar al trabajo del antropólogo cultural (etnomusicología) y que consiste en la localización y recogida de los materiales sonoros in situ, junto a otros datos que proporcionan información referida a otros datos que proporcionan información referida al contexto social en el que se producen. La segunda parte es un trabajo de gabinete consistente en el tratamiento de los materiales obtenidos: clasificar, transcribir, analizar, comparar y valorar para poder, posteriormente, interpretar. Recogida directa de cantos infantiles con un total de 665 registros de canciones infantiles. Entrevistas no estructuradas. Selección y organización del fichero de canciones con el que trabajar en la investigación distribuyendo las canciones por comarcas y fechas, con su función o uso (de palmas, de pasillo, etc), clasificación: tradicionales, recientes, tradicionales no-infantiles, comerciales, didácticas y político-religiosas. Transcripción musical (normas NETTL, 1964, REY, 1961) siguiendo el método fonético y fonémico. Análisis de contenido para los textos y análisis musical (ritmo, melodía, etc). Una de las notas que definen la cultura oral es la creación y recreación comunal que tiende a adaptar el mensaje y su envoltura al momento y al intérprete. El producto cultural aparece por eso como un fenómeno vivo en el que cabe descubrir líneas evolutivas y procedencias. Es de interés constatar hasta qué punto determinados tipos melódicos arraigan en la memoria colectiva de forma que, con independencia de su origen, se utilizan una y otra vez a modo de matriz de canciones.

A case of intestinal lymphangictasia with lipogranulomatous lymphangitis in a female rottweiler dog

Uma cadela, fêmea, de raça Rottweiller de três anos de idade apresentou-se com sinais clínicos de diarreira crónica, perda de peso grave e vómito esporádico. A histopatologia revelou uma linfangiectasia intestinal com linfangite lipogranulomatosa. A linfangiectasia intestinal consiste numa dilatação patológica dos vasos linfáticos intestinais, sendo a causa mais frequente de enteropatia com perda de proteína no cão. Este trabalho consiste na apresentação do caso clínico e numa breve revisão da literatura.

Análisis de la relación Fondo Ambiental Nacional, FAN - Ministerio del Ambiente, MAE: caso Alianza estratégica para apoyar el fortalecimiento del Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas: (SNAP)

La presente tesis analiza las relaciones del Ministerio del Ambiente (MAE), con el Fondo Ambiental Nacional, FAN, en el marco de la alianza estratégica que mantienen para apoyar la conservación de la biodiversidad del Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas, SNAP. Con este enfoque, se revisa puntualmente el marco jurídico e institucional para la gestión de la biodiversidad en general y del SNAP en particular; y en este contexto se resume la trayectoria del SNAP, su conformación, problemática y situaciones recurrentes de debilidades para su gestión, desde 1973 hasta la actualidad. Se revisan el contexto político y económico que motivaron la creación y luego puesta en marcha del FAN; sus características legales y organizacionales, ámbito de acción y enfoque estratégico; así como las características de la alianza MAE FAN, direccionada a apoyar al MAE en la gestión de recursos financieros que apoyen la gestión del SNAP, la cual se agravó como resultado de la implementación en 1998 de la Ley Especial de Galápagos, que eliminó los fondos que subsidiariamente recibía el SNAP. Se analiza los sistemas y modelos de gestión, tanto del MAE, como del FAN, para ubicar en ellos los arreglos institucionales realizados para implementar la alianza de apoyo al SNAP; y en este sentido se describen el diseño, elaboración e implementación del Fondo de gastos operativos básicos, para las áreas protegidas, FAP, como un mecanismo de capitalización de un fondo patrimonial cuyos rendimientos se destinan a apoyar la gestión de las áreas protegidas del SNAP; mecanismo implementado conjuntamente por las dos entidades desde el 2002. Luego de una revisión de la implementación de los macro procesos del Fondo de áreas protegidas: FAP, se analizan los planes estratégicos del SNAP y del FAN, para ubicar los avances, reflexionar sobre los problemas recurrentes; y en base de ello proceder a proponer recomendaciones que fortalezcan la alianza MAE y FAN, tanto en la implementación del FAP, como en potenciales temas de interacción entre el MAE y el FAN, para un fortalecimiento más integral a la gestión del SNAP como un objetivo de país, a cuyo cumplimiento el FAN debe contribuir de manera más eficiente y con la consiguiente corresponsabilidad del MAE.

Dual citizenship or dual identity? Does 'transnationalism' supplant 'nationalism' among returning Trinidadians?

In this article we focus on the dual identities of relatively young Trinidadians who have decided to return to the island of their birth, or of their parents, while still in their thirties and forties. Highly-educated professional transnational migrants mostly make tip our sample of 36; 26 possess dual citizenship. We focus on our informants' narratives about their transnational experiences, self-appraisals of their dual identities and how they value dual citizenship. More generally, we ask does transnationalism supplant nationalism among our returning informants? Unsurprisingly, the diverse responses we document do not support the commonly held explanatory relationship between return adaptations, 'national belonging' and the expected dominance of 'transnational belonging'. Family, relations intervene significantly, both to encourage transnationalism and to strengthen nationalism. Feelings of notional belonging often accompany transnationalism. Notably, we view dual citizenship strategically and pragmatically as advantageous to the continuation of transnational practices.

Single amino acid substitutions in puroindoline-b mutants influence lipid binding properties

External reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ER-FTIR) spectroscopy and surface pressure measurements have been used to characterize the interaction of wild-type puroindoline-b (Pin-b) and two mutant forms featuring single residue substitutions-namely, Gly-46 to Ser-46 (Pin-bH) and Trp-44 to Arg-44 (Pin-bS)-with condensed-phase monolayers of zwitterionic (L-alpha-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, DPPC) and anionic (L-alpha-dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-dl-glycerol, DPPG) phospholipids. The interaction with anionic DPPG monolayers, monitored by surface pressure isotherms, was influenced significantly by mutations in Pin-b (p < 0.05); wild-type Pin-b showed the highest surface pressure change of 10.6 +/- 1.0 mN m(-1), followed by Pin-bH (7.9 +/- 1.6 mN m(-1)) and Pin-bS (6.3 +/- 1.0 mN m(-1)), and the surface pressure isotherm kinetics were also different in each case. Integrated Amide I peak areas from corresponding ER-FTIR spectra confirmed the differences in adsorption kinetics, but also showed that differences in adsorbed amount were less significant, suggesting that mutations influence the degree of penetration into DPPG films. All Pin-b types showed evidence of interaction with DPPC films, detected as changes in surface pressure (5.6 +/- 1.1 mN m(-1)); however, no protein peaks were detected in the ER-FTIR spectra, which indicated that the interaction was via penetration with limited adsorption at the lipid/water interface. The expression of Pin-b mutants is linked to wheat endosperm hardness; therefore, the data presented here suggest that the lipid binding properties may be pivotal within the mechanism for this quality trait. In addition, the data suggest antimicrobial activities of Pin-b mutants would be lower than those of the wild-type Pin-b, because of decreased selectivity toward anionic phospholipids.

Invertebrate food supply and breeding success of Mallards Anas platyrhynchos at flooded gravel quarries in southern Britain

Reproductive parameters of Mallard Anas platyrhynchos were investigated in relation to vegetative development, physical characteristics and invertebrate food abundance of a complex of flooded gravel quarries in southern Britain. Breeding pair density over the study area was particularly high with 2.2 pairs km(-1) of shoreline. Across all lakes breeding success was limited to an average of 0.9 ducklings fledged pair(-1), yet an associated study showed that very little of the mortality could be attributed to predation. The results of stepwise multiple regressions indicated that the availability of emerging insects was important in determining the breeding density and breeding success of Mallards rather than habitat structure. We suggest that the overall great availability of suitable nest-sites combined with the variable but unmeasured stocking densities of fish may explain the lack of the latter correlations.

Impact of Interbasin Exchange on the Atlantic Overturning Circulation

The ther mohaline exchange between the Atlantic and the Souther n Ocean is analyzed, using a dataset based on WOCE hydrographic data. It is shown that the salt and heat transports brought about by the South Atlantic subtropical gyre play an essential role in the Atlantic heat and salt budgets. It is found that on average the exported North Atlantic Deep W ater (NADW) is fresher than the retur n flows (basically composed of ther mocline and inter mediate water), indicating that the overtur ning circulation (OC) exports freshwater from the Atlantic. The sensitivity of the OC to interbasin fluxes of heat and salt is studied in a 2 D model, representing the Atlantic between 60 8 N and 30 8 S. The model is forced by mixed boundar y conditions at the sur face, and by realistic fluxes of heat and salt at its 30 8 S boundar y. The model circulation tur ns out to be ver y sensitive to net buoyancy fluxes through the sur face. Both net sur face cooling and net sur face saltening are sources of potential energy and impact positively on the circulation strength. The vertical distributions of the lateral fluxes tend to stabilize the stratification, and, as they extract potential energy from the system, tend to weaken the flow . These results imply that a change in the composition of the NADW retur n transports, whether by a change in the ratio ther mocline/inter mediate water , o r by a change in their ther mohaline characteristics, might influence the Atlantic OC considerably . It is also shown that the circulation is much more sensitive to changes in the shape of the lateral buoyancy flux than to changes in the shape of the sur face buoyancy flux, as the latter does not explicitly impact on the potential energy of the system. It is concluded that interocean fluxes of heat and salt are important for the strength and operation of the Atlantic ther mohaline circulation, and should be correctly represented in models that are used for climate sensitivity studies.

Weather conditions and moon phase influence on Tropical Screech Owl and Burrowing Owl detection by playback

Sampling owls in a reliable and standardized way is not easy given their nocturnal habits. Playback is a widely employed technique to survey owls. We assessed the influence of wind speed, temperature, air humidity, and moon phase on the response rate of the Tropical Screech Owl Megascops choliba and the Burrowing Owl Athene cunicularia in southeast Brazil. Tropical Screech Owl occurs in scrubland and wooded habitats, whereas the Burrowing Owl inhabits open grasslands to grassland savannah. Sixteen survey points were systematically distributed in four different landscape types, ranging from open grassland to woodland savannah. Field work was conducted in 2004 from June to December, the reproductive season of the two owl species. Our study design consisted of eight field expeditions of five nights each; four expeditions occurred under full moon and four under new moon conditions. At each survey station, we performed a broadcast/listening sequence involving several calls and vocalizations from each species, starting with Tropical Screech Owl (the smaller species). From 112 sample periods for each species within their respective preferred habitats, we obtained 54 responses from Tropical Screech Owl (48% response rate) and 30 responses (27% response rate) from Burrowing Owl. We found that the response rate of Tropical Screech Owl increased under conditions of higher temperature and air humidity, while the response rate of Burrowing Owl was higher during full moon nights.

On the poorly known genus Anuvinda Lehtinen, 1967 (Araneae: Titanoecidae)

The spider genus Anuvinda includes a single species described from India, Anuvinda escheri (Reimoser), based on a female. The male remained unknown and no other specimens beyond the type specimen are known. In this paper we present the first description of the male of A. escheri and the redescription of the female, based on material recently collected in China, Laos and Thailand. In addition, the distribution range of the species is extended to include these three countries.

Melting Regime of the Anionic Phospholipid DMPG: New Lamellar Phase and Porous Bilayer Model

Aqueous dispersions of the anionic phospholipid dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) at pH above the apparent pK of DMPG and concentrations in the interval 70-300 mM have been investigated by small (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and polarized optical microscopy. The order. disorder transition of the hydrocarbon chains occurs along an interval of about 10 degrees C (between T(m)(on) similar to 20 degrees C and T(m)(off) similar to 30 degrees C). Such melting regime was previously characterized at lower concentrations, up to 70 mM DMPG, when sample transparency was correlated with the presence of pores across the bilayer. At higher concentrations considered here, the melting regime persists but is not transparent. Defined SAXS peaks appear and a new lamellar phase L(p) with pores is proposed to exist above 70 mM DMPG, starting at similar to 23 degrees C (similar to 3 degrees C above T(m)(on)) and losing correlation after T(m)(off). A new model for describing the X-ray scattering of bilayers with pores, presented here, is able to explain the broad band attributed to in-plane correlation between pores. The majority of cell membranes have a net negative charge, and the opening of pores across the membrane tuned by ionic strength, temperature, and lipid composition is likely to have biological relevance.

Recortes de interações entre cuidadoras e crianças institucionalizadas : uma avaliação das funções parentais à luz da psicanálise

Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de avaliar aspectos socioafetivos em um programa de abrigamento de crianças de zero a quatro anos desenvolvido por uma ONG. A metodologia adotada foi a descrição etnográfica. A teoria psicanalítica foi utilizada para interpretação do material referente às categorias emergentes identificadas. A forma como se apresenta o exercício das funções materna e paterna na situação de abrigamento foi observada. O trabalho de campo envolveu exame de documentos, observação participante e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, sendo empregada análise de conteúdo do material das entrevistas. O pensamento de Freud, Winnicott, Kohut e Lacan foi adotado como referencial teórico. O modelo de avaliação proposto atingiu seus objetivos, permitindo a formulação de sugestões para o aprimoramento das condições do abrigamento oferecido às crianças.

Como se constrói uma "reputação corporativa"?

Este trabalho teve por objetivo investigar o tema “Reputação Corporativa” nas suas mais diversas abordagens, assim procuramos responder qual é o conceito de reputação, ou quais são os seus diferentes conceitos, e como ela é construída, partindo das opiniões de pessoas oriundas de representantes de áreas de formação e atuação distintas no mundo corporativo. Para melhor entender este conceito, fizemos uma breve contextualização da sociedade, as organizações e os indivíduos, buscando entender a relação existente entre os três para nos dar subsídios para a discussão da reputação que permeiam essa relação. A seguir fizemos um mapeamento dos diferentes conceitos e abordagens que vêem se consolidando na discussão acadêmica sobre o tema, assim dividimos “reputação corporativa” em três grandes abordagens: reputação como ativo, reputação como avaliação e reputação como percepção. Também trabalhamos com aspectos ligados a crise, identidade e imagem que estão presentes nas diversas abordagens. Então fomos a campo e entrevistamos 14 profissionais de diversas áreas, colocando duas perguntaschave: “O que é reputação corporativa?” e “Como se constrói uma reputação corporativa?” Buscamos assim contribuir para o avanço dos conhecimentos de um campo de pesquisa ainda em formação e muito insipiente no Brasil, através da modalidade de pesquisa denominada Grounded Research. A partir dos resultados das entrevistas, criamos oito categorias: conceitos de reputação, atributos de reputação, reputação como um ativo, olhar interno, fatores desestabilizadores da reputação, reputação e comportamento em crise, má reputação, reputação no setor bancário. De posse destes resultados, confrontamos os nossos achados com a teoria que vem se consolidando.
