Introdução: O queratocone é uma ectasia progressiva e não inflamatória da córnea, relativamente comum na prática clinica, e que se manifesta por uma diminuição progressiva da acuidade visual, associada a miopia e astigmatismo miópico irregular de difícil correcção. Os anéis corneanos intraestromais são uma opção terapêutica nos doentes com queratocone, visando melhorar a acuidade visual, a maior tolerância ao uso de lentes de contacto e protelar a necessidade de um transplante de córnea. Os autores apresentam os resultados da sua experiência, nos últimos 3 anos, com o implante de anéis intraestromais INTACS SK® em doentes com queratocone. Material e Métodos: Foram incluídos 21 olhos de 20 doentes submetidos a colocação de segmentos de anéis intraestromais –Intacs SK®-, por técnica manual assistida por vácuo. A técnica cirúrgica consistiu na criação de uma incisão radial no eixo mais curvo, com zona óptica de 7 mm, e criação de túneis por dissecção mecânica sob vácuo. Os critérios de inclusão foram: queratocone moderado a severo com Km<65D, sem compromisso da transparência central da córnea, baixa acuidade visual e/ou intolerância às lentes de contacto e paquimetria superior a 400 micras na área de inserção. Todos os doentes foram submetidos a exame oftalmológico completo e estudo topográfico corneano com Pentacam®. Foram registados os seguintes parâmetros no pré e pós-operatório (3 a 6 meses): melhor acuidade visual corrigida, equivalente esférico, esfera e cilindro, queratometria e paquimetria. Foram ainda registadas as complicações pós-operatórias. Utilizou-se o Teste Paired-samples t-test e o Teste de Wilcoxon para determinar se existia diferença estatisticamente significativa entre o pré e o pós-operatório em relação aos parâmetros analisados, adoptando-se um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Foram incluídos 21 olhos de 20 doentes, 9 mulheres e 11 homens. A idade média foi de 33,81 anos, variando entre os 12 e os 70 anos. Para todos os parâmetros analisados encontrou-se uma diferença estatisticamente significativa (p <0,05) entre o pré e o pós-operatório. Após 3 a 6 meses de colocação dos anéis, verificou-se melhoria de acuidade visual em 85,7% dos doentes, com valor médio de 0,5 pré-operatório para 0,3 unidades LogMar pós-operatório. O equivalente esférico médio diminuiu de -7,13 dioptrias pré-operatórias para -4,19 dioptrias pós-operatórias (redução de 2,94 dioptrias) e a queratometria média de 50,44 dioptrias para 48,01 dioptrias (redução de 2,43 dioptrias). Com um tempo máximo de seguimento de 3 anos, os depósitos estéreis no túnel estromal foram a complicação mais frequente no pós-operatório, não se verificando outras complicações como extrusão ou migração do anel, neovascularização ou infecção corneana. Conclusão: O implante de anéis intraestromais INTACS SK® permitiu melhorar a acuidade visual corrigida na grande maioria dos doentes, com redução do equivalente esférico e da queratometria e aumento da regularidade topográfica.

Rapid climatic changes are taking place in Arctic, subarctic and cold temperate regions, where predictions point to an increase in freeze-thaw events, changes in precipitation, evaporation and salinity patterns. Climate change may therefore result in large impacts in ecosystem functioning and dynamics, especially in the presence of contaminants due to intense anthropogenic activities. Even though multiple stress approaches have received increasing interest in the last decades, the number of such studies is limited. In particular, knowledge on the effect of freezethaw events and salinity fluctuations on ecotoxicology of soil invertebrates is lacking, especially important when considering supralittoral species. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of low temperature and salinity fluctuations, singly and in combination with contaminants, in the freeze-tolerant and euryhaline enchytraeid Enchytraeus albidus. The assessment of population level endpoints (survival and reproduction), along with physiological and biochemical parameters such as levels of cryoprotectants, ice/water content, oxidative stress biomarkers, cellular energy allocation, and tissue concentration of chemicals (when applied), provided new and valuable knowledge on the effects of selected physical and chemical stressors in E. albidus, and allowed the understanding of adjustments in the primary response mechanisms that enable worms to maintain homeostasis and survival in harsh environments such as polar and temperate-cold regions. The presence of moderate levels of salinity significantly increased freeze-tolerance (mainly evaluated as survival, cryoprotection and ice fraction) and reproduction of E. albidus. Moreover, it contributed to the readjustments of cryoprotectant levels, restoration of antioxidant levels and changed singnificantly the effect and uptake of chemicals (copper cadmium, carbendazim and 4-nonylphenol). Temperature fluctuations (simulated as daily freeze-thaw cycles, between -2ºC and -4ºC) caused substancial negative effect on survival of worms previsouly exposed to non-lethal concentrations of 4-nonylphenol, as compared with constant freezing (-4ºC) and control temperature (2ºC). The decrease in cryoprotectants, increase in energy consumption and the highest concentration of 4-nonylphenol in the tissues have highlighted the high energy requirements and level of toxicity experienced by worms exposed to the combined effect of contaminants and freezing-thawing events. The findings reported on this thesis demonstrate that natural (physical) and chemical stressors, singly or in combination, may alter the dynamics of E. albidus, affecting not only their survival and reproduction (and consequent presence/distribution) but also their physiological and biochemical adaptations. These alterations may lead to severe consequences for the functioning of the ecosystems along the Arctic, subarctic and cold temperate regions, where they play an important role for decomposition of dead organic matter. This thesis provides a scientific basis for improving the setting of safety factors for natural soil ecosystems, and to underline the integration of similar investigations in ecotoxicology, and eventually in risk assessment of contaminants.

Portugal, nas últimas décadas, como efeito da globalização, adjetivou-se de multicultural, fazendo verdadeiramente valer a sua função de país de acolhimento. É natural, portanto, a existência de uma certa heterogeneidade sociocultural e diversidade linguística nas escolas portuguesas. Ora, a Escola Básica de 2.º e 3.º Ciclos, onde implementámos o nosso estudo, não constituiu em si a exceção. Porém, constatámos que a diversidade nela existente, embora respeitada, não era devidamente valorizada. Perante tal situação, traçámos como finalidade do estudo o desenvolvimento de uma investigação que nos concedesse um instrumento, a ser trabalhado numa aula de Português, que incide sobre a partilha de memórias de infância caminhando para a valorização e tomada de consciência do Outro linguística e culturalmente diferente. Consequentemente, esperamos contribuir para a melhor integração dos alunos provenientes de outras culturas e para a não existência de eventuais mecanismos de discriminação. Os nossos dados foram, essencialmente, recolhidos através da análise das memórias escritas dos alunos e de uma entrevista a uma aluna cabo-verdiana, constituindo esta a sua biografia linguística. No tratamento da informação recorremos a uma metodologia qualitativa com análise de conteúdo em que foram determinadas as categorias a conhecer: Brincadeiras de infância, Locais preferidos, Encontros interculturais e Momento da infância mais saudoso. A Declaração de Princípios sobre a Tolerância (1995) afirma que a diversidade deve ser reconhecida como uma riqueza a aceitar e a desenvolver. “A tolerância (…) é a harmonia na diferença.” (Artigo 1.º, 1.1). Como tal, através dos resultados do nosso projeto, acreditamos que com o trabalho em torno das memórias de infância é possível fomentar uma educação intercultural que potencie a referida tolerância e forme alunos capazes de dar resposta aos novos desafios desta nossa sociedade mutável que se conjetura cada vez mais multicultural e multilingue.

The integrated culture of seaweed and aquatic animals is an ancient practice in Asian countries. The expansion of this practice to western countries is consequence of the recognition of this system as a sustainable alternative that allows economical diversification and mitigation of environmental impacts generated by effluents of aquaculture. This study evaluated the growth of the seaweed Gracilaria caudata and of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in monoculture (shrimps) and integrated culture (shrimps and algae) systems, and accessed the effect of the seaweed in the water quality. There were two treatments in the experiment: monoculture (shrimps) and integrated culture (shrimps/ algae). The organisms were cultured in 6 aquaria (10L) filled with seawater (35.0±0.0 PSU and 28.1±0.4°C) for 28 days. The nutrients of water (PO43-, NH4+, NO2-, NO3- and DIN), the biomass and the relative growth rate (RGR, % day-1) of seaweed and shrimps were measured weekly. The parameters pH, temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were measured daily. The concentration of NH4+ in integrated culture (62.8±25.2µM) was lower (Mann-Whitney p<0.001) than in monoculture (85.6±24.3µM). The mean of PO4- in monoculture (10.4±4.6µM) was markedly higher (Mann-Whitney; p=0.024) than that in integrated culture (8.7±4.1µM). The level of dissolved oxygen in integrated culture (6.0±0.6mg/L) was higher (t-Student; P=0.014) than that in shrimp monoculture (5.8±0.6mg/L). The mean values of the parameters pH, NO2-, NO3- and DIN were 7.5±0.2, 10.1±12.2µM, 24.5±3.2µM and 120.17±30.76µM in monoculture, and 7.5±0.2, 10.5±13.2µM, 27.4±3.5µM and 100.76±49.59µM in integrated culture. There were not differences in these parameters between treatments. The biomass and RGR of seaweed reached 15.0±1.9g and 7.4±2.8% day-1 at the end of the experiment. The performance of shrimp was favorable in monoculture (1.5±0.8g; 5.7±1.6% dia-1) and in integrated culture (1.5±0.7g; 5.2±1.2% dia-1), and the rate of survival was 100% in both treatments. The tolerance and favorable performance of Gracilaria caudata suggest that this seaweed might be integrated into shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) culture systems

The seaweed Gracilaria domingensis is a common species in the coast of Rio Grande do Norte. This species lives in the intertidal zone, where colour strains (red, green and brown) co-occur during the whole year. Seaweeds that live in this region are exposed to daily changes and to the rhythm of the tide. During the low tide they are exposed to dissection, hiper-or hipo-osmotic shock, high temperatures and high irradiance. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the pigment and protein content of the colour strains of G. domingensis is affected by some environmental parameters in a temporal scale. The seaweeds were collected during 10 months in the seashore of Rio do Fogo (RN). The total soluble proteins and the phycobiliprotein were extracted in phosphate buffer and the carotenoids were analyzed by a standardized method through HPLC-UV. The pigments analysis showed that phycoerithrin is the most abundant pigment in the three strains. This pigment was strongly correlated with nitrogen and the photosynthetically active radiation. Chlorophyll presented higher concentrations than carotenoids during the whole, but the ratio carotenoid/chlorophyll-a was modified by incident radiation. The most abundant carotenoid was ß-carotene and zeaxanthin, which had higher concentrations in the higher radiation months. The concentration increase of zeaxanthin in this period indicated a photoprotective response of the seaweed. The three strains presented a pigment profile that indicates different radiation tolerance profile. Our results pointed that the green strain is better adapted to high irradiance levels than the red and brown strains

Extreme abiotic factors, such drought combined with heat waves and/or high UVB radiation are predicted to become more frequent in the future. The impact on plant production of these challenges on multipurpose Moringa oleifera L. remains unclear. A susceptibility of this species may lead to increase poverty in endangered regions. M. oleifera is a woody species native from sub-Himalaya regions under high climate stress pressure. The interest on this species is emerging due to its several medicinal properties and its nutritional value. Agropharmaceutical industry is interest in this species too. To understand the impact of increased climate factors, young (2 months old) plants of this species were exposed to water deficit (WD) and UVB (alone or combined). WD and WD+UVB imposition consists of unwater for 4 days. After 1 day withholding water, UVB and WD+UVB were irradiated with 26.3 kJ m-2 distributed per 3 days. Immediately after treatment exposition (1 day) and after 10 days, plant water status, growth, carbon metabolism and oxidative stress were measured. Overall no significant differences were observed in WD, regarding the parameters analysed, except on gas exchanges, MDA and phenols. The plants exposed to UVB showed, in general, more severe effects, as higher pigment content, MDA and membrane permeability, while no changes were observed in the total antioxidant activity. Plants exposed to UVB+WD, despite changes observed, the impact was lower than the one observed in UVB exposed plants, meaning that a protective/adaptive mechanism was developed in the plants under combined stressors. On the other hand, in all treatments the net CO2 assimilation rate decreased. Results suggest that M. oleifera has some tolerance to WD and UVB, and that develops mechanism of adaptation to these two types of stress that often arise in combination under a climate change scenario.

The biomonitoring technique for water quality in water bodies has been incorporated increasingly in management of the natural resources, using mainly indices of its aquatic community characteristics. In Brazil the first efforts to use this technique was restricted to the South and the Midwest region of this country. Located in the northeast region, this study was conducted at Rio Grande do Norte state and had as main objective the assessment of water quality in the Piranhas-Açu river using benthic macroinvertebrates community as biological indicators. Thus, were applied two biotic indices, the BMWP (Biological Monitoring Working Party score system) and the IBF (Family Biotic Index). According the requirements of these indices, two periods of sampling were determined as basic methodology, in dry seasons of 2006 and 2007. The sampling sites were around the municipalities of Açu, Ipanguaçu, Alto do Rodrigues and Pendências. Physical-chemical measurements; a protocol of rapid assessment of diversity of habitats, and determination of the degree of tolerance of each taxon to organic pollution were also performed. The most abundant organisms found in the river were tolerant with the prevalence of Chironomidae (Diptera) and Melanoides tuberculata. This results, together with those ones got in indices application, showed a considerable organic pollution in the four sample places and the reaches were classified as modified to impacted. According to the used indices, this study suggest that this river have significant alteration in the biotic community and water quality on the organic pollution, and this fact, occurs in the reach of the river further downstream, where were expected a good water quality. Considering these results, measures aiming the conservation of this water body are needed regarding as it is inserted into a fragile ecosystem with dry season phenomenon, and the water of this river has extremely importance for the local economy

Marine shrimp farming has grown exponentially during the last years in Brazil. In spite of the promising economical situation, this activity is facing an increasing criticism due to its environmental impact. Thus, the necessity of alternatives to mitigate environmental degradation caused by this activity. An alternative that is being studied is the policulture that is the integrated culture of two or more organisms, normally one of them a filtering organism. Among filtering organisms, macroalgae are very practicable because they are efficient in the removal of the exceeding nutrients of the water and do not leave residues in the water. Besides, the integrated culture with macroalgae allows the economical exploration of the seaweed (for the manufacture of jelly and jam, for the dairy industry, pharmaceuticals, etc.) along with possibility of a sustainable aquaculture. In the present experiment, the development of the seaweed Gracilaria birdiae, the influence and tolerance of this species to the environmental parameters, and its absorption efficiency in relation with the three kinds of macronutrients (NH4+, NO3- and PO4-3) found in the effluents of marine shrimp farming was studied. The experiment was divided in two parts: a laboratorial part and one part carried under natural conditions. The water used in the laboratory trial was collected in the shrimp ponds of Tecnarão farm and distributed in aquaria containing 20 g of G. birdiae. In the field trial, 0.5 kg of G. birdiae was inserted in PVC cages cultivated in the farm. The results of the study showed a modest growth of G. birdiae, probably due to its low tolerance to highly eutrophicated environments. However, the removal of nutrients was very expressive. Ammonia was reduced in approximately 34 %. Ortho-phosphate showed a reduction of 93.5 %. The capacity of biofiltration of the NO3- by the macro algae was of 100 %, showing that G. birdiae is a seaweed-filtered with a high level of removal for this nutrient under laboratorial conditions. In spite of the low growth of the macro algae in the experiment, the results in relation to the removal of nutrients of the water was encouraging, suggesting that this species can be an efficient biofilter and thus, a strong candidate to be used in a sustainable aquaculture

The identification of genotypes for drought tolerance has a great importance in breeding programs. The aim of this study was to characterize genotypes of beans in response to drought tolerance in different reproductive stages through physiologic, agronomic and molecular analysis. The experiment was conducted in greenhouse, using a randomized block design with four replicates; 10 cultivars: ANFC 9, ANFP 110, BRS Esplendor, BRSMG Realce, IPR Siriri, IPR Tangará, IPR Tuiuiu, IPR Uirapuru, IAC Imperador and IAC Milênio under two conditions of irrigation: plants irrigated during their entire life cycle, and plants under irrigation suppression in the reproductive stage (R7) until 16% of field capacity, when the irrigation was restored. In the last four days of stress, the gas exchanges were analyzed, and in the last day of stress was analyzed the percentage of closed stomata in the abaxial surface of the leaves, collected in different times of the day (9h, 12h, 15h and 18h). Additionally, plant samples were collected for the following analysis: fresh and dry mass of leaves, stems and legumes, and proline content in leaves and roots. The plants were harvested at the physiological maturity and the yield components and grain yield were determined. In addition, in order to identify polymorphisms in the sequences of promoters and genes related to drought, seven pairs of primers were tested on the group of genotypes. The drought susceptibility indexes (ISS) ranged from 0.65 to 1.10 in the group of genotypes, which the lowest values observed were for IAC Imperador (0.65) and BRS Esplendor (0.87), indicating the ability of these two genotypes to maintain grain yield under water stress condition. All genotypes showed reduction in yield components under water stress. IAC Imperador (43.4%) and BRS Esplendor (60.6%) had the lowest reductions in productivity and kept about 50% of the stomata closed during all the different times evaluated at last day of irrigation suppression. IAC Imperador showed greater water use efficiency and CO2 assimilation rate under drought stress. IPR Tuiuiú, IPR Tangará and IAC Imperador had the highest proline concentrations in the roots. Under water stress condition, there was a strong positive correlation (0.696) between the percentage of stomata closed with the number of grains per plant (0.696) and the fresh mass of leaves (0.731), the maximum percentage of stomata closed 73.71% in water stress. The accumulation of proline in the root was the character that most contributed to the divergence between the genotypes under water deficit, but not always the genotypes that have accumulated more proline were the most tolerant. The polymorphisms in DNA of coding and promoting sequences of transcription factors studied in this experiment did not discriminate tolerant genotypes from the sensitive ones to water stress.

O uso de plantas com potencial de associação com microrganismos é uma prática frequente em solos contaminados por metais pesados, considerada de baixo custo e ambientalmente correta. O trabalho objetivou avaliar o crescimento do Corymbia citriodora (Hook.) K.D. Hill & L.A.S. Johnson e o efeito da inoculação com Pisolithus microcarpus UFSC-Pt116 em solo contaminado com Zn. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado em arranjo fatorial (2 x 6), sendo com e sem inóculo e seis doses de Zn (0, 300, 600, 900, 1200 e 1500 mg kg-1 de solo), com seis repetições. As mudas foram inoculadas e cultivadas durante 90 dias em viveiro. Após 67 dias do transplante definitivo foi avaliado o percentual de colonização ectomicorrízica, a altura de planta, diâmetro do colo, número de folhas, índice de clorofila total, volume radicular, massa seca das folhas, da haste caulinar, radicular e total, relação massa seca aérea/massa seca radicular e a relação altura/diâmetro do colo. O percentual de colonização ectomicorrízica em Corymbia citriodora é estimulado pelo acréscimo de até 1412,21 mg kg-1 de Zn no solo. O Corymbia citriodora é tolerante a adição de até 1500 mg kg-1 de zinco em solo com 81% de argila, mesmo sem a inoculação com Pisolithus microcarpus. A análise de correlação canônica evidencia que a inoculação com P. microcarpus favorece a massa seca total, radicular e da parte aérea de Corymbia citriodora cultivado em solo com 81% de argila contaminada com 600 mg kg-1 de Zn.

O período de germinação e o estabelecimento de plântulas é um dos fatores mais importantes para a sobrevivência das espécies, principalmente nos locais em que a disponibilidade de água é limitada, como na região da Caatinga. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do estresse hídrico sobre a germinação de sementes de Piptadenia moniliformis Benth. Foram utilizados três lotes (L1, L2 e L3), correspondentes aos anos de produção de 2006, 2007 e 2008, respectivamente. Antes do teste de germinação, as sementes foram escarificadas com ácido sulfúrico concentrado durante 30 minutos. Para induzir o deficit hídrico, foi utilizado o polietileno glicol (PEG 6000), nos seguintes potenciais osmóticos: - 0,3; -0,6; -0,9, -1,2 e -1,5 MPa e a água (0 MPa) sob as temperaturas de 25 e 30ºC. As características avaliadas foram: porcentagem de germinação e de plântulas normais, índice de velocidade de germinação e massa seca de plântulas. O processo germinativo de sementes de Piptadenia moniliformis Benth. é comprometido a partir de potenciais hídricos inferiores a -0,6 MPa a 25 e 30 °C; potenciais hídricos iguais ou inferiores a -1,2 MPa inibem a formação de plântulas normais nas duas temperaturas; a tolerância ao estresse hídrico simulado com PEG 6000 é variável entre lotes de sementes e temperaturas de germinação.

As viagens ocupam uma dimensão muito relevante na obra de Sena Freitas por terem sido objeto de descrições, em que, sob a forma de relatos ou de cartas, o autor deu a conhecer ao público leitor muitas das suas impressões da paisagem, do património e do estilo de vida dos países e cidades que visitou. Propomos centrar a atenção no relato das viagens em que o autor projeta muitas das suas ideias sobre os mais variados assuntos, desde a experiência missionária, no Brasil, até às suas conceções sobre a importância da ciência na formação dos jovens e do clero, as condições sociais e políticas dos operários, a importância social da religião e da tolerância religiosa, a par da exaltação da natureza, em que a sua ilha de S. Miguel não tem paralelo. Começaremos, no entanto, a nossa exposição, apresentando, em traços gerais, alguns aspetos da sua vida, que repartiu em grande parte entre Portugal e o Brasil, o que servirá para enquadrar o nosso propósito.
