El ritual en los "Textos de las Pirámides": sintaxis, texto y significado

Este trabajo pretende explorar la dimensión ritual en los Textos de las Pirámides, el corpus de literatura religiosa extensa más antiguo de la humanidad. La naturaleza variada de sus componentes textuales ha impedido que los egiptólogos comprendan en profundidad las complejidades de la colección y los contextos originales en los que estos textos (ritos) aparecieron. La aplicación de la teoría del ritual, principalmente la aproximación de la sintaxis ritual, ofrece a los investigadores un marco excelente de análisis e interpretación del corpus, su estructura y función. Sujeto a las reglas de la sintaxis ritual es posible exponer los múltiples niveles de significado en el corpus para la resurrección y salvación del difunto.

Medidas cautelares de embargo de bienes estatales en procesos ejecutivos ante la jurisdicción contencioso-administrativa

A partir del principio general de inembargabilidad de bienes del Estado, el contenido de este documento incursiona en el tema de las excepciones al mismo legalmente contempladas, a efectos de verificar la aplicabilidad de la medida cautelar de embargo sobre tales bienes en los casos procedentes, cuando los particulares adelantan procesos ejecutivos ante la jurisdicción contenciosoadministrativa, en procura de defender sus intereses y del pago de dineros a cargo del Estado como consecuencia de contratos, sentencias, acreencias laborales, laudos arbitrales u otro tipo de documento eficaz. El propósito fue establecer claramente la normatividad aplicable en este tipo de eventos, aportando de este modo respuesta objetiva y confiable frente a la problemática generada tanto por las distintas posiciones en torno al tema adoptadas por el legislador, como igualmente por dificultades para clasificar los bienes y rentas estatales en orden a determinar su carácter y la posibilidad real de su embargo. Todo ello, además, con el referente de pronunciamientos jurisprudenciales adoptados como soporte conceptual básico puesto que desde esta perspectiva dan cuenta de una línea coincidente de pensamiento por parte de los altos organismos pertinentes.

Spatial analysis of urban violence based on emergency room data

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the spatial intensity of urban violence events using wavelet-based methods and emergency room data. METHODS: Information on victims attended at the emergency room of a public hospital in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, from January 1, 2002 to January 11, 2003 were obtained from hospital records. The spatial distribution of 3,540 events was recorded and a uniform random procedure was used to allocate records with incomplete addresses. Point processes and wavelet analysis technique were used to estimate the spatial intensity, defined as the expected number of events by unit area. RESULTS: Of all georeferenced points, 59% were accidents and 40% were assaults. There is a non-homogeneous spatial distribution of the events with high concentration in two districts and three large avenues in the southern area of the city of São Paulo. CONCLUSIONS: Hospital records combined with methodological tools to estimate intensity of events are useful to study urban violence. The wavelet analysis is useful in the computation of the expected number of events and their respective confidence bands for any sub-region and, consequently, in the specification of risk estimates that could be used in decision-making processes for public policies.

Análise do comportamento de estruturas através de ensaios de carga

A engenharia civil, rege-se pela garantia de segurança e de funcionalidade das obras que projeta e executa. Para cumprir tais requisitos, é necessário durante a sua vida útil, no final da construção, reforço ou reabilitação, proceder à avaliação da conformidade entre o comportamento real da estrutura e os pressupostos subjacentes ao projeto. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo a compreensão e análise do comportamento estrutural da Ponte sobre o Rio Sorraia, através da realização de ensaios de carga apoiados pela conceção de um modelo numérico devidamente calibrado, capaz de simular a resposta da estrutura, o mais próximo possível do observável na realidade. Para alcançar o objetivo pré definido elencam-se as metodologias relevantes, descrevem-se os tipos de ensaios de carga realizados em pontes/viadutos e faz-se referência aos aparelhos de medição que estão na base da instrumentação aplicada em obras. Esta introdução foca-se ainda na modelação numérica, permitindo o conhecimento básico necessário para a criação e atualização de modelos numéricos de pontes. Relativamente ao caso de estudo expõe-se a realização do ensaio de carga, descrevendo todo o processo, bem como os resultados obtidos ao nível das grandezas de medição estudadas. Aqui é concebido um modelo numérico base da ponte, alvo de discussão ao nível do comportamento estrutural, baseada na validação dos resultados obtidos por via experimental, através da comparação com os obtidos por via numérica. Por fim, o estudo e seleção de diversos parâmetros da modelação, facultando a calibração do modelo numérico da ponte. Os resultados obtidos neste modelo comprovam o seu elevado potencial, no apoio à observação e compreensão do comportamento de estruturas através da realização de ensaios de carga. O sucesso da realização de uma análise do comportamento de estruturas, através de ensaios de carga, depende assim fundamentalmente, da correta execução do ensaio, da correta conceção e atualização do modelo numérico e da interligação entre os resultados experimentais e numéricos.

Subcellular localization of an intracellular serine protease of 68 kDa in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigotes

Here we report the subcellular localization of an intracellular serine protease of 68 kDa in axenic promastigotes of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, using subcellular fractionation, enzymatic assays, immunoblotting, and immunocytochemistry. All fractions were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy and the serine protease activity was measured during the cell fractionation procedure using a-N-r-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester (L-TAME) as substrate, phenylmethylsulphone fluoride (PMSF) and L-1-tosylamino-2-phenylethylchloromethylketone (TPCK) as specific inhibitors. The enzymatic activity was detected mainly in a membranous vesicular fraction (6.5-fold enrichment relative to the whole homogenate), but also in a crude plasma membrane fraction (2.0-fold). Analysis by SDS-PAGE gelatin under reducing conditions demonstrated that the major proteolytic activity was found in a 68 kDa protein in all fractions studied. A protein with identical molecular weight was also recognized in immunoblots by a polyclonal antibody against serine protease (anti-SP), with higher immunoreactivity in the vesicular fraction. Electron microscopic immunolocalization using the same polyclonal antibody showed the enzyme present at the cell surface, as well as in cytoplasmic membranous compartments of the parasite. Our findings indicate that the internal location of this serine protease in L. amazonensis is mainly restricted to the membranes of intracellular compartments resembling endocytic/exocytic elements.
