O Brasil, destacado pela sua espetacular “geodiversidade”, já se coloca no grupo dos grandes produtores e exportadores mundiais do setor de rochas. Sua produção inclui granitos, ardósias, quartzitos, mármores, travertinos, pedra-sabão, serpentinitos, calcários, conglomerados, basaltos, gnaisses foliados e várias outras rochas, somando cerca de 6 milhões de t/ano e abrangendo 600 variedades comerciais, derivadas de 1.500 frentes de lavra. Os 18 arranjos produtivos locais (APL’s) do setor de rochas, identificados no Brasil, envolvem atividades mínero-industriais em 10 estados e 80 municípios, nas regiões Sudeste, Sul, Centro-Oeste, Norte e Nordeste. Mais amplamente, são registrados 370 municípios com recolhimento da CFEM (Compensação Financeira pela Exploração Mineral) para extração de rochas de revestimento. Estima-se a existência de 11.500 empresas do setor de rochas atuantes no Brasil, responsáveis pela geração de 120.000 empregos diretos e por um parque de beneficiamento com capacidade de serragem e polimento para 50 milhões m2/ano em granitos, mármores, travertinos, e de mais 40 milhões m2/ano para rochas de processamento simples, sobretudo ardósias, basaltos laminados, quartzitos e gnaisses foliados. As transações comerciais do setor nos mercados interno e externo, incluindo-se negócios com máquinas, equipamentos e insumos, movimentam cerca de US$ 2,5 bilhões/ano. As exportações do setor somaram US$ 429,4 milhões em 2003 e estão atendendo cerca de 90 países, destacando-se que o Brasil já é o principal fornecedor de granitos beneficiados para os EUA, além de ser o segundo maior exportador mundial de ardósias.

In Brazil there are few studies on the occurrence of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection and its subtypes, which are essential for the development of vaccines and new diagnostic tests. The present study investigated the occurrence of the FIV infection between 2010 and 2011 in domestic cats submitted to medical attendance in the city of Pelotas and nearby area. Total blood samples of seventy cats, suspected (28) or not (42) of infection by FIV were analyzed by nested PCR in order to perform a diagnosis. The results pointed to a FIV infection frequency of 15.7% (11/70) and the analysis of the risk factors related to infection (sex, age and clinical condition) evidenced a greater occurrence in cats up to 10 years of age with chronic and recurrent infections. Eight samples found positive by nested PCR were submitted to DNA sequencing indicating that only the subtype B was detected in the studied region.

Objetivo:O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o fenótipo do HLA em pacientes com contratura de Dupuytren (CD) para verificar a correlação desses alelos com os fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento da CD na população brasileira.Métodos:Este foi um estudo de caso-controle de 25 pacientes com CD e 443 indivíduos saudáveis sem histórico de doenças associadas ao HLA. As tipagens classe I e classe II do HLA foram feitas utilizando o método iniciador de sequências específicas da reação em cadeia da polimerase.Resultados:O fenótipo HLA-B*18 foi observado em 32% dos pacientes e 10,5% do grupo controle. Contudo, os valores de p não permaneceram significativos após correção.Discussão:Apesar de termos observado um aumento na tendência de os pacientes com CD terem o alelo HLA-B*18, os resultados não foram estatisticamente significativos após correção. Esse alelo foi maior em pacientes de etnia italiana e/ou espanhola, locais com frequências superiores a 18% e 14%, respectivamente. São necessárias investigações adicionais com uma coorte maior de pacientes com CD para confirmar o possível papel do HLA nessa doença.

The Brazilian campos rupestres (high-altitude grasslands) are very important on the world conservation scenario because of high species richness and endemism. These grasslands are regarded as threatened ecosystems due to intense, on-going disruption by man's activities. The aim of this study was to describe the reproductive and vegetative phenological patterns of six shrub species endemic to these grasslands in the Espinhaço Range, sympatric in Serra do Cipó, MG. We tested the relationship between species phenophases and local climate seasonality. We expect that the species phenophases are strongly correlated with variations of the dry and wet seasons. Observations were conducted monthly on reproductive (flowering, fruit production and dispersal) and vegetative (leaf fall and budding) phenophases. Given the combination of reproductive phenology, vegetative phenology, and seasonality, we observed four phenological strategies for the six species. Therefore this study revealed great diversity in phenological patterns, even when considering the small number of species sampled. Moreover, all species showed a significant seasonal pattern for the reproductive phenophases, with high concentrations of species reproducing during a given season, suggesting a key role of climate in defining phenological patterns in the campo rupestre grasslands.

This study aimed to evaluate some microhabitat characteristics of two populations of Tolypothrix distorta in streams from midsouthern region of Paraná State on a seasonal period. Each population was monthly investigated for the abundance of T. distorta and environmental variables such as depth, current velocity, irradiance, richness, and substrate diversity (H') using the quadrat technique for each sample unit (n = 7-10). For each segment the following physical and chemical water variables were also measured: temperature, oxygen saturation, specific conductance, pH, and turbidity. The seasonal period of higher abundance (percent cover) occurred during the months corresponding to summer/fall for both populations. The analyses also showed that populations had lower niche width and wide variation under the environmental conditions, characterizing the species as a generalist in the use of resources. Faster water flow and larger substrates favored the development of T. distorta, which may be related to the species morphological characteristics, thallus type that consists of tangled filaments formed by tuft and covered with thick gelatinous coats.

The preventive efficacy of ivermectin and abamectin administered in different routes (subcutaneous, intramuscular and pour-on) and doses (200 and 500mcg kg(-1)) against Cochliomyia hominivorax in the scrotal sac of cattle after castration, was evaluated. Animals from six different farms, in the state of Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais, Brazil were used. For each study, 3045 uncastrated bulls, depending on the number of groups, were selected. On day zero of the study, the procedure was carried out by the method of bloody castration and the animals were treated after this process. The efficacy of ivermectin and abamectin administered via the pour-on (500mcg kg(-1)), subcutaneous (200mcg kg(-1)) as well as the efficacy of abamectin intramuscularly (200mcg kg(-1)) were evaluated. In each experiment, one group of animals was kept as control. The animals were evaluated from the 3rd to the 14th day after castration process/treatment. The efficacy values for both active principles were <= 30% the next day 10 post-treatment (PT), and in five experiments, both ivermectin and abamectin, regardless of the route of administration, were ineffective (0.0%) on the day 10th PT. Based on the results found in this study, conducted in different properties from southeastern Brazil, both ivermectin and abamectin, when used the protocol presented, were considered ineffective in preventing scrotal myiasis in bulls, irrespective of the route of administration and dose used.

This study aimed to identify the post-graduation programs in Speech Pathology in Brazil, present the production of professors of these programs in the aspects of documentary typologies and present the evolution of this production up to year 2011, delineate the collaborative networks between professors and between institutions, as well as to present the indicators of networks. By accessing the Capes website, eight post-graduation programs were found, revealing a list with a total of 118 professors in Brazil. Data were extracted from the Lattes Platform using the ScriptLattes. The graphs were created in Excel, the networks were traced using the software Ucinet and the density and centrality indicators were calculated. It was observed that most courses are located in the South and Southeast regions of the country and, even though this is a recent field, it presents a significant collaborative network.
