Satisfação da lei de acesso à informação através do sistema de compras eletrônicas do governo do estado do Rio de Janeiro: a transparência proporcionada pelo Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Aquisições – SIGA

Esta Dissertação analisa em que medida os critérios contidos na Lei 12.527/11, conhecida como a Lei de Acesso à Informação, são atendidos pelo Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Aquisições – SIGA, do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. O pilar desta pesquisa é o inciso IV do art. 8º da referida Lei, que determina a divulgação dos registros de despesas, juntamente com os procedimentos licitatórios e os contratos celebrados, objetivando especialmente, transparência dos gastos públicos. A efetivação das compras públicas através da internet, é uma implementação da governança eletrônica, dimensão política mais avançada do governo eletrônico, proporcionando inúmeras vantagens como a celeridade nos processos licitatórios. Além disso, as transações efetuadas por meio de sistema são facilmente rastreáveis por auditorias. As informações registradas em um ambiente único garantem o cumprimento integrado de normas diminuindo erros. O pregão na forma eletrônica é, atualmente, a modalidade mais utilizada pela Administração Pública, pois vem ao encontro das demandas por transparência nos atos públicos E a análise apresentada neste trabalho É recomendada por destacara relevância da análise do site de compras eletrônicas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, o Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Aquisições – SIGA. Para criar um parâmetro entre o SIGA e os sistemas utilizados por outros Estados, foram analisadas informações disponibilizadas nos pregões ocorridos durante o ano de 2014. Esta pesquisa mais ampla objetiva balizar o SIGA, do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, montando um ranking de transparência E o site ficou em quarto lugar, empatado com o Estado do Amazonas, atrás de São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul e Mato Grosso.A metodologia qualitativa favoreceu a leitura valorativa do emprego do SIGA, em busca do atendimento a política pública de significativo impacto social da modalidade enfocada devido a resultados rápidos e abertura participativa de acompanhamento cidadão.As entrevistas reforçaram essa característica inerente à postura qualitativa do estudo, com percepções e informações oportunas.As considerações finais destacam avanços e limitações nos sistemas de compras eletrônicas governamentais existentes. O Siga, embora consolidado, em uso desde 2009, por todos os órgãos estaduais do Rio de Janeiro, necessita, ainda, aperfeiçoamento a implantar-se durante 2015, quando novas pesquisas devem acompanhar o movimento.

Agroindústrias familiares (parte 1 e 2)

O Programa de Verticalização da Pequena Produção Rural - Prove foi criado em Brasília, durante a gestão Cristovam Buarque, pelo então Secretário de agricultura do Distrito Federal, João Luiz Homem de Carvalho. O programa, que pretendia disponibilizar mecanismos para a verticalização dos pequenos agricultores, logo ganhou visibilidade e credibilidade se tornando modelo para outros estados. A Escola Livre de Desenvolvimento Solidário do Centro de Estudos em Administração Pública e Governo percorreu os estados de Mato Grosso do Sul e Distrito Federal atrás das agroindústrias contando a história do Prove através de um rico mosaico de histórias de sucessos e fracassos

Genotoxicidade e composição do material particulado emitido pela queima de Biomassa: um estudo de caso em Tangará da Serra, Região da Amazônia Brasileira

Tangara da Serra is located on southwestern Mato Grosso and is found to be on the route of pollutants dispersion originated in the Legal Amazon s deforestation area. This region has also a wide area of sugarcane culture, setting this site quite exposed to atmospheric pollutants. The objective of this work was to evaluate the genotoxicity of three different concentrations of organic particulate matter which was collected from August through December / 2008 in Tangara da Serra, using micronucleus test in Tradescantia pallida (Trad-MCN). The levels of particulate matter less than 10μm (MP10) and black carbon (BC) collected on the Teflon and polycarbonate filters were determined as well. Also, the alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were identified and quantified on the samples from the burning period by gas chromatography detector with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). The results from the analyzing of alkanes indicate an antropic influence. Among the PAHs, the retene was the one found on the higher quantity and it is an indicator of biomass burning. The compounds indene(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(k)fluoranthene were identified on the samples and are considered to be potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic. By using Trad-MCN, it was observed a significant increase on the micronucleus frequency during the burning period, and this fact can be related to the mutagenic PAHs which were found on such extracts. When the period of less burnings is analyzed and compared to the negative control group, it was noted that there was no significant difference on the micronuclei rate. On the other hand, when the higher burning period is analyzed, statistically significant differences were evident. This study showed that the Trad-MCN was sensible and efficient on evaluating the genotoxicity potencial of organic matter from biomass burning, and also, emphasizes the importance of performing a chemical composition analysis in order to achieve a complete diagnosis on environmental risk control

Identificação morfológica de organismos semelhantes à anaplasmataceae em monócitos de surubim híbrido (Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum x P. corruscans) – relato de caso

The aim of this study was to report the occurrence of Anaplasmataceae-like organisms in monocytes from the hybrid surubim catfish. During the hematological evaluation of fish infected by Pseudomonas sp. in a fish farm located in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul we observed into the monocytes the presence of numerous pleomorphic inclusions of various sizes, rough in appearance which presented basophilic staining. These inclusions were similar to elementary bodies, initial bodies and morule of the bacteria from Anaplasmataceae family, often diagnosed in domestic mammals. This is the first report of its occurrence possibly belonging to the family of Anaplasmataceae in cultured fish in Brazil. Additional studies are necessary for molecular characterization of this bacteria, pathogenic potential, life cycle and impact on the intensive production of fish.

Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Brazil: possible origins inferred by mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II gene sequences

The Asian subterranean termite, Coptotermes gestroi, originally from northeast India through Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Indonesian archipelago, is a major termite pest introduced in several countries around the world, including Brazil. We sequenced the mitochondrial COII gene from individuals representing 23 populations. Phylogenetic analysis of COII gene sequences from this and other studies resulted in two main groups: (1) populations of Cleveland (USA) and four populations of Malaysia and (2) populations of Brazil, four populations of Malaysia, and one population from each of Thailand, Puerto Rico, and Key West (USA). Three new localities are reported here, considerably enlarging the distribution of C. gestroi in Brazil: Campo Grande (state of Mato Grosso do Sul), Itajai (state of Santa Catarina), and Porto Alegre (state of Rio Grande do Sul).

The occurrence of Crepidobothrium sp. (Cestoda, Proteocephalidae) in Bothrops moojeni (Hoge) (Serpentes, Viperidae)

The occurrence of Crepidobothrium sp.(Cestoda, Proteocephalidae) in the intestine of Bothrops moojeni (Hoge,1965)(Serpentes, Viperidae) is reported. The host snake was rescued from the fauna in Porto Primavera dam, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. The snake died in captivity on July 13,1999. At necropsy, 28 tapeworms were found in the snake intestine. The analysis of specimens morphology allowed the conclusion that they belong to the Crepidobothrium (Monticelli, 1900) genus. It was not possible to determine the Crepidobothrium species due to the lack of the gravid proglottids. This is the first report of B. moojeni as a host of cestodes.

Análise da variabilidade genética aditiva de características de crescimento na raça Nelore

Foram utilizados dados de cinqüenta e um rebanhos participantes do Programa de Melhoramento Genético da Raça Nelore (PMGRN), distribuídos nos estados de Goiás (GO), Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Mato Grosso (MT), Minas Gerais (MG), São Paulo (SP), Maranhão (MA) e Bahia (BA). Foram obtidas estimativas de parâmetros genéticos para os pesos padronizados aos 120 (P120), 455 (P455) e 550 (P550) dias de idade. Análises unicaráter e bicaráter foram realizadas por modelo animal usando o aplicativo MTDFREML. Para P120 foi utilizado um modelo que incluiu como efeitos fixos, grupo de contemporâneos e classe de idade da vaca ao parto, e como aleatórios, os efeitos genéticos direto, materno e de ambiente permanente da vaca. Para P455 e P550, o modelo utilizado incluiu os mesmos efeitos fixos e o efeito genético direto do animal. ANas análises unicaráter, as estimativas de herdabilidade direta foram 0,29, 0,51 e 0,47 para P120, P455 e P550, respectivamente. Nas análises bicaráter, observaram-se coeficientes de herdabilidade direta de 0,50 e 0,58 para P120, 0,50 e 0,53 para P455 e 0,44 e 0,49 para P550. As correlações genéticas estimadas entre P120 e P455, P120 e P550 e P455 e P550, foram 0,92, 0,93 e 0,96, respectivamente. As estimativas de herdabilidade obtidas para P455 e as correlações genéticas deste peso com P120 e P550 sugerem que a avaliação genética pode ser feita aos 15 meses de idade em substituição aos 18 meses.

Eficácia da imunoterapia no tratamento de pitiose facial em equino

Background: Pythiosis in horses is a proliferative and ulcerative disease that primarily affects the skin and subcutaneous tissue of limbs, thoracic-abdominal region and head. This disease sometimes can also affect limb bones or cause tumoral masses in abdomen. Usually, the cutaneous cases are confused with habronemiasis. The disease is more common in marshy areas, places with formation of slow drainage ponds and aquatic vegetation under high temperatures. The aim of this study was to describe the development of facial lesions in a horse caused by pythiosis in Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, and, additionally to discuss relevant issues regarding the diagnosis, clinical course and response to immunotherapy treatment.Case: One five years old mare of unknown breed, created in property located in the Cerrado region, had a wound on its face difficult to be healed and non-responsive to several treatments based on ivermectin and organophosphate administrated by either topical or systemic via. The animal was assisted on the farm of origin by the veterinary team of the Clinical Medicine sector, of the Veterinary Hospital, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (HOVET-UFMT). on the occasion of the visit, which occurred 60 days after onset of signs, the animal showed a circular single large lesion, ulcerative with serous discharge on the right part of its face, between the eyes and nostrils. There were some necrotic foci with sinus, from which kunkers were extracted; a condition compatible with pythiosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology, ELISA and PCR.Discussion: Assuming pythiosis from data obtained from the survey and profile of the lesion (secretory aspect, emaciation and presence of sinus and kunkers), immunotherapy treatment was immediately applied. The advanced clinical aspects and the fact that early diagnosis and treatment are essentials to satisfactory therapeutic response were also taken into consideration for starting the treatment. The remission of signs was achieved after five subcutaneous applications with 14 days between each application. From the second application, it was observed clinical improvement and after 60 days of treatment there was almost complete remission of signs. The signs for a satisfactory response in the injury site followed the order of decreasing secretory aspect, decreasing borders, decrease the itching and bringing the edges together with the formation of a thin layer of crust on the surface. Pythiosis cases with lesions on the face and lower abdomen are commonly confused with habronemiasis by macroscopic and widespread similarity between technicians and attendants, and essential support to the diagnosis through laboratory tests, which in turn are still underutilized. In this case, the authors demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy as an advantage, considering the possibility of applying it in cases of lesions in areas of difficult surgical access, treatment conditions in the field, with low cost and ease of application. Further studies approaching this alternative therapy are necessary, since side effects have been observed in some cases.

Observations on helminth infections of free-living and captive rheas (Rhea americana) in Brazil

The present work describes helminth infection of eight free-living and 12 captive rheas (Rhea americana) from, respectively, Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul State, and Jaboticabal, São Paulo State, Brazil. Captive birds were young and had a high mortality rate, while free-living birds were adult and apparently healthy. Infections were evaluated by post-mortem examination of internal organs and recovery of helminths using standard parasitological procedures. Seven species of nematodes (Sicarius uncinipenis, Torquatoides crotophaga, Deletrocephalus dimidiatus, D. cesarpintoi, Paradeletrocephalus minor, Capillaria venteli and Dicheilonema rheae) and two species of cestodes (Houttuynia struthionis and Chapmania tauricolis) were identified. P. minor, which inhabits the large intestine, was the most common helminth in free-living birds (63.9%). In captive rheas, a mean parasitic load of 173 helminths per host was found. The gizzard of these birds was the most parasitized organ and S. uncinipenis was most common (92.5%). Parasitism of free-living and captive birds and associated pathology are discussed.
