Exiled to the colonies: 'Oscar Wilde' in Australia 1895-1897

When Oscar Wilde was imprisoned in 1895, his plays were withdrawn from the London stage and, as Joel Kaplan and Seila Stowell note, exiled to the provinces and played with their author's name discreetly removed. Here, Fotheringham examines the impact of Wilde's trials and imprisonment throughout 1895-1897 on public reception to Brough-Boucicault Comedy Company's performances of his plays in Australia.

A IGREJA DO NAZARENO: DOS PRIMÓRDIOS (1895) AO CINQUENTENÁRIO NO BRASIL (2008)

Este trabalho é uma descrição e análise sócio-histórica da Igreja do Nazareno nos aspectos mais importantes que contribuíram para sua inserção e expansão no Brasil. Descrevemos a trajetória formativa dessa Igreja nos Estados Unidos, partindo das considerações históricosociológicas dos valores teológicos que ela agrega, como o Arminianismo, a tradição wesleyana e a doutrina da santidade. Buscamos entender, primordialmente, como se deu o processo de inserção e expansão da Igreja do Nazareno no Brasil, sua estrutura de governo, sua prática litúrgica, a formação de pastores, a forma de agregação de membros e a relação que se estabelece entre esses pastores e os membros. O estudo sobre essa denominação ainda é incipiente no meio acadêmico brasileiro, assim, buscamos suplantar a ausência de informações sobre ela, nesse meio. Portanto, ressaltamos os aspectos de um enfoque sócio histórico institucional que podem se distanciar da forma eclesial como os próprios nazarenos compreendem sua denominação. Na abordagem desse objeto, enfatizamos a pesquisa bibliográfica, a análise documental, a utilização de recursos audiovisuais, bem como a observação participante. Este trabalho possibilitou o entendimento de que a Igreja do Nazareno, desde seus primórdios, conduz sua prática pela distinção no meio protestante em que se insere. No caso do Brasil, em que existem muitas outras denominações, a Igreja se firma sobre sua principal distinção, a doutrina da santidade, a qual, por um enfoque da teoria das economias religiosas, tem servido de produto para atender determinado nicho do mercado religioso brasileiro.

EDUCAÇÃO, MISSÃO E GÊNERO:AS CARTAS DE MARTHA HITE WATTS (1881-1895)

O presente estudo analisou a implantação e a prática educativa do trabalho da missionária metodista norte-americana Martha Hite Watts na virada do século XIX e início do século XX, na cidade de Piracicaba, situada no estado de São Paulo. Os eixos de análise para interpretar as interfaces históricas do período baseiam-se em três aspectos: gênero, educação e missão. Martha Watts, é considerada a primeira educadora metodista no Brasil. Sua atuação se deu a partir de 1881, na cidade de Piracicaba, onde fundou o Colégio Piracicabano, que permanece em funcionamento até o presente momento. Sua experiência educacional foi relevante para o desempenho das escolas metodistas ao adotar uma pedagogia inovadora, nos moldes dos países europeus e de sua terra natal. No Brasil do final do século XIX, Martha Watts mostrou determinação ao enfrentar as diferenças de uma nova cultura e novo ambiente com hábitos, gestos e palavras estranhas para ela. O estudo procurou, a partir do diálogo com as cartas deixadas pela missionária, contribuir para a linha de pesquisa em História da Educação Brasileira. A obra da missionária Martha Watts se configura como um valioso legado para o estudo da História da Educação, História das Mulheres e Gênero.(AU)

Production efficiency in catfish (Clarias gariepinus) Burchell, 1822 in Cross River State , Nigeria

In the study, the production efficiency of catfish in Cross River State was determined. Data was obtained from 120 fish farmers were randomly selected from Cross River Agricultural Zones, using a multistage random sampling technique. Multiple regression analysis model was the main tool of data analysis where different functions were tried. The results indicated that Cobb-Douglass production function had the best fit in explaining the relationship between output of catfish and inputs used, the coefficient of multiple determinant (R2 = 0.61) indicates that sixtyone percent of the variability in output of catfish is explained by the independent variables. The results also indicate that farmers’ educational level positively influence their level of efficiency in catfish production in the study area. The F-value of 16.427 indicates the overall significance of the model at 1 percent level, indicating that there is a significant linear relationship between the independent variables taken together and the yield of catfish produced in Cross River State. The marginal value products of fish pond size (farm size), labour and feed (diet) were N67.50, N 178.13 and N 728.00 respectively, while allocative efficiency for (farm size), labour and feed (diet) were (0.09 over utilized, 2.85 under utilized and 0.99 over utilized), respectively, there existed allocative in-efficiency, there is a high potential for catfish farmers to increase their yields and income. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that fish farmers should expand fish farms, improving on production efficiency and adopting new technologies. Regular awareness campaign about new technologies in fish farming should be embarked by extension agents to make fish farmers know the importance of adopting new technologies.

Aspects of the fishery and biology of the African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) amidst environmental changes in Lake Wamala (Uganda)

Environmental changes are some of the factors that affect fisheries and biological characteristics of fishes. The African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) has biological characteristics that enable it to persist under various stressful environmental conditions. However, few studies have examined how the African catfish responds to conditions created by a changing climate. The study examined some of the fishery and biological characteristics of African catfish in Lake Wamala (Uganda) to provide an understanding of their response to changing climatic conditions using data for the period 1950 - 2013. Temperature around the lake increased by 0.02ºC/year since 1980, commensurate with the regional trend, while rainfall was above average since 1996, except in 2004 and 2008. Lake depth was strongly positively correlated with rainfall (r =0.83, n= 6, p<0.05) up to 2000, after which, lake depth decreased amidst increase in rainfall. The contribution of African catfish increased from 20% to 85% and 17% to 78% respectively to commercial and experimental catches respectively between 1975 and 2013 despite the decrease in lake depth. The modal total length, condition factor, food, and fecundity did not change. Only size at first maturity decreased from 37.5 to 30 cm TL in females and 39.5 to 34.2 cm TL in males between 1999/2000 and 2012/2013. The biological characteristics of the African catfish were comparable with those of the same species in other lakes and remained relatively stable. The results suggested that the African catfish has the capacity to persist and/or adjust appropriately under conditions created by climate variability and change, and if properly managed, can sustain the fisheries of Lake Wamala.

Avaliação ecotoxicológica de efluentes industriais utilizando Danio rerio Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822 (TELEOSTEI, CYPRINIDAE)

The industrial effluents are one of the main sources of water pollution. For an appropriate characterization and control of their discharges, the most efficient strategy is the integrated use of chemical, physical and ecotoxicological analyses. The aims of this study were to asses the efficiency of the treatment plant of a textile industry performing acute toxicity tests and physical-chemical analyses of the effluents before and after the treatment, besides evaluate the toxicity of the effluents of the Treatment System of Liquids Effluents (Sistema de Tratamento de Efluentes Líquidos - SITEL) of Distrito Industrial de Natal (DIN) and some of their physical-chemical variables. The species used in the ecotoxicological tests was the fish Danio rerio. The results showed that the treatment plant reduced significantly (around 50%) the toxicity of the raw textile effluent in only three of the seven tests but, in general, it promoted the reduction of the physical-chemical parameters analyzed. The toxicity and the physical-chemical factors of the effluents of SITEL of DIN varied among the tests and show the importance of monitoring their discharges in the Potengi river, one of the most important rivers of the Rio Grande do Norte state

Investigação e avaliação da toxicidade aguda dos agrotóxicos mais utilizados no cinturão verde da Grande Natal (RN, Brasil) para o peixe-zebra (Danio rerio Hamilton Buchanan, 1822, Teleostei, Cyprinidae

The objectives of this research were to investigate the agrotoxic most used in the Gramorezinho region in the green belt of Natal, and to evaluate the acute toxicity of these, based on the LC50-48h values estimated in tests for Danio rerio, internationally used as test organism. The acute toxicity tests were performed under laboratory conditions, according to standardized methods (ABNT/NBR/15088/04) for this species. The LC50-48h estimated to Tamaron BR was 352.89 mg.L-1, which characterizes that as practically non-toxic, according to toxicological classes cited by Zucker. For Decis 25EC, the LC50-48h estimated was 0.0004156 mg.L-1 (4.156 X 10-4 mg.L-1), which classifies it as highly toxic to this species
