ABNORMAL SPERMATHECAE NUMBERS IN PERUVIAN SANDFLIES (DIPTERA: PSYSCHODIDAE)

We report and illustrate two abnormal spermatheca numbers found in Peruvian sandflies, a supernumerary spermatheca in Lutzomyia cernerai and the absence of one spermatheca in L. amazonensis.

Rational approximations of sectional category and Poincaré duality

Félix, Halperin, and Lemaire have shown that the rational module category Mcat and the rational Toomer invariant coincide for simply connected Poincaré duality complexes. We establish an analogue of this result for the sectional category of a fibration.

Assessment of the effects of the expansion of the city of Estarreja on the rational land use

The management of urban environment, together with the preservation of the natural environment and the creation of a sustainable built environment, is a complex challenge for contemporary societies. In the name of progress, cities are contributing for the degradation of all surrounding ecosystems. Therefore there is an arising demand for developing new strategies and a new urban development paradigm settled in the search for the equilibrium between natural and built environments and efficient use of resources. The objective of this paper is to analyse how the urban expansion of the city of Estarreja took place in relation to the land use, based on the land capability classification maps of the area. Based in the results some sustainable development strategies that might be applied to the city are discussed. The obtained results demonstrate that the city has been growing faster then its population, consuming vast portions of land, since its growth as been occurring in a linear form. Despite this fact, results show that most of this expansion took place towards a territory of lower agricultural potential, when comparing to the location of its original settlement.

Factoriality and the pin-reutenauer procedure

We consider implicit signatures over finite semigroups determined by sets of pseudonatural numbers. We prove that, under relatively simple hypotheses on a pseudovariety V of semigroups, the finitely generated free algebra for the largest such signature is closed under taking factors within the free pro-V semigroup on the same set of generators. Furthermore, we show that the natural analogue of the Pin-Reutenauer descriptive procedure for the closure of a rational language in the free group with respect to the profinite topology holds for the pseudovariety of all finite semigroups. As an application, we establish that a pseudovariety enjoys this property if and only if it is full.

Terapéutica racional, mediante indicadores de eficacia antimicrobiana, de la mastitis caprina utilizando marbofloxacina y cefquinoma. Rational therapeutics, indicators of antimicrobial efficiency in the mastitis goats using marbofloxacine and cefquinome

La producción de leche de cabra es considerada en nuestro país, y en la provincia de Córdoba, una alternativa productiva para el desarrollo sustentable y socio – económico de la población. Por otra parte, existe una mayor demanda del mercado nacional e internacional de esta leche, por lo que los productores deben garantizar la seguridad y calidad de la misma de acuerdo a las normas vigentes. Es por ello que el control y tratamiento de las diferentes enfermedades es de vital importancia tanto para maximizar la producción del hato como para cumplir con los cánones de seguridad exigidos. En este contexto la mastitis caprina es una de las enfermedades que afecta la productividad del sector, y para controlarla una de las medidas a emplear es la terapéutica con antimicrobianos. Se trabajará en este proyecto con marbofloxacina y cefquinoma, estableciendo pautas racionales (eficaces y seguras) para su empleo en la afección a nivel regional. Los indicadores de eficacia estarán fijados de acuerdo a los parámetros integrados de farmacocinética (FC) y farmacodinamia (FD). Estos últimos (FD) serán calculados a través de la determinación concentraciones inhibitorias mínimas de cepas bacterianas aisladas de mastitis caprinas en Córdoba. Se establecerán los parámetros farmacocinéticos a dosis únicas y múltiples para la marbofloxacina (5 mg/kg IV, IM) y cefquinoma (2 mg/kg IV, IM e IMM) a partir de muestras de suero y leche de cabras Anglo Nubian (n = 6 por antimicrobiano; diseño cruzado en función de la ruta de administración). Se determinarán sus concentraciones en dichos fluidos, por cromatografía líquida de alta precisión. Los resultados FC/FD para ambos medicamentos se compararán con parámetros recomendados por expertos para cada tipo de antimicrobiano y se utilizarán como medida para recomendar una terapéutica racional, fundamental para optimizar la posología, garantizar la eficacia clínica, y reducir al mínimo la selección y propagación de cepas resistentes de agentes patógenos. The production of milk of goat is considered the province of Cordoba, a productive alternative for the sustainable development and partner - economically of the population. There is a major demand of the domestic and international market of this milk, for what the producers must guarantee the safety and quality of the same one of agreement to the in force procedure. It is for it that the control and treatment of the different diseases performs vital importance so much to maximize the production of the herd as to expire with the safety demanded. In this context the mastitis goat is one of the diseases that affect the productivity of the sector, and to control her one of the measures to using is the therapeutics with antimicrobial. One will be employed at this project with marbofloxacine and cefquinome, establishing rational guidelines (effective and sure) for his employment in the affection to regional level. The indicators of efficiency will be fixed in agreement to the integrated parameters of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodinamics (PD). The latter (PK) will be calculated across the determination inhibitory minimal concentrations of bacterial strains isolated of mastitis goat in Córdoba. The parameters will be established pharmacokinetics to the only and multiple doses for the marbofloxacine (5 mg/kg the IV, IM) and cefquinome (2 mg/kg the IVth, IM and IMM), From samples of whey and milk of goats Anglo Nubian (n = 6 for antimicrobial; design crossed depending on the route of administration). Its concentrations will decide in the above mentioned fluids, for liquid chromatography of high precision. The results PK/PD for both antimicrobial will be compared with parameters recommended by experts for every type of antimicrobial and will be in use as measure for recommending a rational, fundamental therapeutics for optimizing the dosage, for guaranteeing the clinical efficiency, and to reduce to the minimum the selection and spread of resistant of pathogenic agents.
