Valorização da carne de ovinos e caprinos fora da marca com qualidade DOP e IGP

Com objectivo de melhorar a qualidade da carne de origem caprina e ovina proveniente de animais adultos de raças Serrana e Churra Galega Bragançana (CGB), de forma a atribuir-lhe um valor comercial acrescentado, foram elaborados diferentes tipos de patês com incorporação de diferentes níveis de gordura de porco. O estudo foi feito no laboratório de Tecnologias de Qualidade da Carcaça e da Carne da Escola Superior Agrária, do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança. Os patês foram submetidos a uma avaliação da qualidade físico-química no período de um ano como forma de estudar a vida útil dos mesmos, quando conservados à temperatura de 2 a 4º C. As determinações físico-químicas foram repetidas quatro vezes em cada período de estudo, nomeadamente 1, 6 e 12 meses de conservação. Diferenças entre as médias foram consideradas estatisticamente significantes, no nível de 5%, quando p ≤ 0,05. O tratamento estatístico dos dados foi realizado utilizando o programa Statistix 10. A transformação de carne de animais adultos em subprodutos originou patês de alto valor nutricional, com vida útil superior a um ano. Com a avaliação do pH em patês de ambas espécies, foi possível observar maior queda de pH em patês de origem caprina, podendo-se afirmar que os mesmos têm baixa estabilidade quando comparados com os de origem ovina. A incorporação de gordura de porco, proveniente de abdómen, influenciou positivamente na qualidade físico-química do produto final. Patês com incorporação de gordura de porco apresentaram maior teor de ácidos gordos saturados e poli-insaturados. Em relação às duas espécies, as amostras de patês de origem ovina sem incorporação de gordura de porco apresentaram maior teor de gordura saturada e menor teor de gordura mono-insaturada.

Between Apathy and Anger: Challenges to the Union from the 2014 Elections to the European Parliament. EPIN [Working] Paper No. 39, 20 May 2014

This EPIN study brings together contributions from a ​broad selection of member states ​and ​provid​es ​insightful analysis ​into the 2014 elections to the European Parliament on the ground. The report reveals the different factors that impede the development of genuine European elections and the consequences of the ballot in the member states covered by the study​, namely Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain and the UK​,​ and at EU level. The report finds that: • The EP Resolution to encourage European parties to nominate candidates for the next Commission President has not really increased public interest in the EU and voter turnout will probably remain low. • Visibility of the European top candidates in most member states has been quite limited. • National manifestos do not coincide – and sometimes event conflict with – the European parties’ manifestos. • Election debates focus on national issues; EU issues are only brought to public debate when they are relevant for domestic politics. • Again, we will see a protest vote against governments and large parties. The EP elections are still perceived as a test ahead of local and national elections, or as a vote of confidence in national governments. • This year the protest vote also concerns the EU. The report predicts a more eurosceptic ballot that might complicate decision-making in the EU, exacerbate the conflict between the national and European levels and increase tensions among member states.

Stable isotope record and composition of planktonic foraminifera from ODP Site 172-1056

The stable isotopic composition of two planktonic foraminifer species (Globigerinoides sacculifer and Neogloboquadrina dutertrei) and two benthic foraminifer species (Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi and Uvigerina peregrina) was measured at sub-orbital resolution through the marine isotope stages (MISs) 10, 11, and 12 (345-460 ka) at Site 1056 on the Blake-Bahama Outer Ridge. Planktonic foraminifers were counted for the interval 405-450 ka at 2-4-kyr resolution. Site 1056 (32°29'N, 76°20'W) is located on the continental slope (water depth: 2167 m) beneath the Gulf Stream. The average rate of sediment accumulation through the interval is 11.4 cm/kyr, but sediment accumulation is much more rapid during glacial intervals (15-17 cm/kyr). The decline in percent carbonate during glacial intervals, and its rise during interglacials, indicates that the increased sediment supply is of terrigenous origin. Low carbonate values and low benthic delta13C, which are both associated with a weak Western Boundary Undercurrent and low North Atlantic Deep Water production, persist for 6 kyr after the benthic delta18O record indicates that ice volume has begun to decrease. Recovery of carbonate and benthic delta13C values is abrupt and rapid. Millennial-scale variation (~3-4 kyr) is apparent in the glacial intervals of the planktonic delta18O records and is more pronounced in a Delta delta18O record, which represents the temperature range in the photic zone. Semi-precessional (10-12-kyr) cycles are apparent in the planktonic deltadelta13C record. The millennial-scale cycles are largely caused by an increase in G. sacculifer delta18O and represent surface warming. They are interpreted as representing periodic increases in westward intensification of the gyre. The semi-precessional cycles are driven by changes in the N. dutertrei delta13C and represent fluctuations in the Gulf Stream itself and therefore likely have a tropical origin. Planktonic foraminifer census counts did not show an expected response to one of the largest glacial/interglacial transitions of the late Pleistocene. The most obvious change was an increase in faunal diversity during MIS 12.2, the interval of maximum delta18O values. This suggests that cool slope water and warm subtropical gyre water penetrated a more sluggish Gulf Stream with greater frequency at this time. The millennial-scale maxima in the Delta delta18O record are accompanied by decreases in diversity, which is consistent with the interpretation of surface warming during these events.

Atlantic 231Pa/230Th and biogenic opal compilation of the Holocene and the LGM

The strength and geometry of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is tightly coupled to climate on glacial-interglacial and millennial timescales, but has proved difficult to reconstruct, particularly for the Last Glacial Maximum. Today, the return flow from the northern North Atlantic to lower latitudes associated with the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation reaches down to approximately 4,000 m. In contrast, during the Last Glacial Maximum this return flow is thought to have occurred primarily at shallower depths. Measurements of sedimentary 231Pa/230Th have been used to reconstruct the strength of circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean, but the effects of biogenic silica on 231Pa/230Th-based estimates remain controversial. Here we use measurements of 231Pa/230Th ratios and biogenic silica in Holocene-aged Atlantic sediments and simulations with a two-dimensional scavenging model to demonstrate that the geometry and strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation are the primary controls of 231Pa/230Th ratios in modern Atlantic sediments. For the glacial maximum, a simulation of Atlantic overturning with a shallow, but vigorous circulation and bulk water transport at around 2,000 m depth best matched observed glacial Atlantic 231Pa/230Th values. We estimate that the transport of intermediate water during the Last Glacial Maximum was at least as strong as deep water transport today.
