A ação pedagógica sob a perspectiva de Henri Wallon

This research was supported theory as the theory of Henri Wallon which proposes a reflection on the overall development of the child offering subsidies for a acting that values the child in its multiple dimensions. The objective is understood to seek subsidies in theory that can guide the construction of an education in the Children's activites, focused on the development aspects of cognitive, affective and motor of the child. It adopts as methodology the bibliographical revision, the intervention, observation and data collect, using as pedagogic resource playing activities in an institution of Infantile Education. The research noted the possibility of action with the concepts proposed by the Wallonian theory, furthermore, the Children's Fitness, using the recreational activities such as teaching resources boost child development. Therefore, concluded that physical education should include Child in the process of teaching-learning the full development of the child.

Proleptus acutus Dujardin, 1845 (Nematoda, Physalopteridae) parasite of rays Zapteryx brevirostris Müller & Henle, 1841 (Rhinobatiformes, Rhinobatidae) in Brazil

Relata-se a ocorrência de Proleptus acutus Dujardin, 1845 (Nematoda, Physalopteridae) parasitando Zapteryx brevirostris Müller & Henle, 1841 (Rhinobatiformes, Rhinobatidae) em Ubatuba, estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Vinte raias foram analisadas e P. acutus foi encontrado no estômago e intestinos de 14 (70%) animais. Este é o primeiro relato da ocorrência dessa espécie de nematóide em Z. brevirostris no Brasil.

The reproductive hiology and cycle of Rioraja agassizi (Muller and Henle, 1841) (Chondrichthyes : Rajidae) in southeastern Brazil, SW Atlantic Ocean

Specimens of Rioraja agassizi were collected Lit Guaruja pier, São Paulo State, Brazil, from March 2005 to March 2006. A total of: 275 males were captured. Based on the analysis of the clasper length, gonad weight, clasper gland length, alar thorns and lobule diameter, the size-at-maturity was estimated to be 32 cm. There were 1049 females in the record. Size-at-maturity was calculated in 40 cm. Sexual resting females were observed. Gonadosomatic and hepatosomatic indexes varied significantly in both sexes throughout the year. However, ovulation, egg-laying and presence of sperm in the seminal vesicle were observed all year round. For this reason, an annual cycle with at least one peak in the sexual activity is proposed for this species.

Subsistemas de comércio costeiros e internalização de interesses na dissolução do Império Colonial português (Santos, 1788-1822)

Discutem-se os primeiros resultados de uma pesquisa sobre o comércio costeiro e suas relações com o funcionamento do sistema colonial e com o contexto da Independência. A tese é de que em portos menores da costa da capitania de São Paulo, como em Santos, havia um grupo de comerciantes que atuava efetivamente no comércio costeiro e defendeu seus interesses de exclusividade de participação nesse setor contra a presença de comerciantes externos à vila. A discussão apoia-se em documentos da alfândega de Santos, como mapas de exportação-importação, mapas de embarcações, ofícios de governadores e juízes da alfândega e requerimentos de negociantes estrangeiros.

Predation on spawn and adults of Chaunus dorbignyi (Dumeril & Bibron, 1841) (Amphibia, Anura) by leeches (Hirudinea) in southern Brazil.

Two species of leeches (Hirudinea) are reported as frequently associated with amphibians in Rio Grande do Sul state, southern Brazil. We observed the predation of eggs of the bufonid Chaunus dorbignyi; remarkably, the remaining eggs of this clutch did not complete their embryologic development, probably due to a negative effect caused by the leeches. We report on additional observations of leeches feeding on other anuran species.

Structural, cytochemical, immunocytochemical and ultrastructural characterization of blood granulocytes of the roadside hawk Buteo magnirostris (Gmelin, 1788) (Avian, Falconiform)

In the peripheral blood of the roadside hawk, Buteo magnirostris, the following types of granulocytic leucocytes were identified: heterophil, eosinophil and basophil. The heterophils presented acidophilic and spindle shaped granules, the eosinophils possess spherical eosinophilic granules and the basophils showed spherical and basophilic granules. The heterophils and eosinophils presented positive cytochemical reaction to glycogen and basic polyaminoacid, while the eosinophils presented sudanophilic granules, which were also positive for myeloperoxidase. The heterophils, alone, presented positivity for acid phosphatase in some granules and immunoreactivity to TGF-β1 was observed only in the cytoplasm of the eosinophils. Electron microscopy demonstrated the heterophil granules as predominantly spindle shaped, being strongly electron-dense, while the eosinophils had numerous uniformly electron-dense spherical granules and the basophils presented three different types of granules identified according to their electron-density and the aspect of their matrix.

Generalização da periodicidade: um estudo sobre Apostrophe et Six Réflexions de Henri Pousseur

Neste livro, Rodolfo Augusto Daniel Vaz Valente debruça-se sobre a obra do compositor belga Henri Pousseur (1929-2009), um dos principais expoentes da música contemporânea ao lado de Luciano Berio, Karlheinz Stockhausen e Pierre Boulez. Valente discute, principalmente, a contribuição de Pousseur para a revisão teórica do serialismo, já que este recupera, no âmbito da música serial, a noção de periodicidade (ou fraseologia regular), que havia sido banida das experiências iniciais do serialismo em nome do princípio basilar da não repetição. Pousseur estava convencido de que era necessário retomar em alguma medida a periodicidade das estruturas. Chegou mesmo a experimentar a sua teoria na música eletrônica e a recorrer à teoria ondulatória proveniente da Acústica para repensar o discurso musical, especialmente no terreno da organização das durações. Valente também aborda a periodicidade conforme os preceitos de Abraham Moles, um dos principais teóricos da Teoria da Informação e que teve grande influência sobre o trabalho de Pousseur. Analisa ainda a obra Apostrophe et six réflexions, escrita pelo compositor na época em este que formulou o conceito de periodicidade generalizada, como chamou a fraseologia do serialismo revisado que já não recorria às estruturas musicais essencialmente não periódicas.

The collections of Lauraceae in the Herbarium of Henri Van Heurck (AWH)

Background and aims - The collections of Lauraceae in the Van Heurck Herbarium (AWH), which is currently on permanent loan to BR, have remained unknown by most of the specialists and by the general public up until the present. The taxonomic status of its one hundred and forty nine specimens of Lauraceae is here presented.Methods - Standard herbarium taxonomy practices were used in conjunction with the literature available. Specimens from fifty eight different herbaria were studied personally, or by checking their holdings available in the internet, or from digital images received from the curators.Key results - The specimens of Lauraceae from AWH are distributed in twenty four genera and seventy eight species with taxonomic status resolved, excepting for three specimens pertaining to species name of status uncertain (one), or to unresolved determination (two). From them, fifty three specimens are nomenclatural types of any sort, which corroborate the relevance of exsiccates acquired by Van Heurck, even for this relatively small set of specimens for the family. Fifteen lectotypifications and one neotypification of species names are proposed here.
