Na presente investigação objetivei compreender a importância das instituições educativas materializadas nos Grupos Escolares criados à época do Brasil Republicano e suas incidências na unidade federativa do Pará, analisando a influência de sua implantação para a organização da sociedade e a formação do cidadão a partir da fundação do Grupo Escolar Lauro Sodré entre o período histórico de 1968 a 2008. Adotou-se como método de pesquisa a análise de documentos, tendo como referencial teórico a pesquisa fundamentada em fontes documentais, iconográficas e bibliográficas, traçando a linha histórica da institucionalização do ensino primário desenvolvido nos Grupos Escolares com sua disseminação e implantação nos municípios, interagindo e modificando as estruturas social, econômica e cultural das cidades, o que levou ao trabalho de reconstrução dos aspectos que envolveram a formação e o trabalho dos docentes pertencentes a tal contexto, a estrutura do currículo e metodologias utilizadas no processo de consolidação da formação institucional primária. Norteado pelas questões problema: Qual a importância das instituições escolares na organização da sociedade e na formação escolar do cidadão brasileiro? Como se efetivou a inserção dos Grupos Escolares no sistema de ensino do Pará e que implicações trouxeram à estrutura social dessa unidade federada segundo os Discursos Governamentais? Qual a importância geopolítica e educacional do Grupo Escolar Lauro Sodré instituído no Município de Moju? Quais eram as prescrições para o exercício do trabalho docente e como se efetivaram as práticas curriculares desses sujeitos nessa instituição? Pois, os Grupos Escolares são identificados primeiro como projeto republicano utilizado para fixar entre a população brasileira os ideais de sua filosofia e ideologias e em outra fase da história como meio de preparar a mão-de-obra para alavancar o progresso do país, destarte essas instituições de ensino tornaram-se espaços de realizações, conflitos e tensões de modo a desvelar as diversas situações que estavam envolvidas em seu contexto.

Os rotavírus são os principais agentes virais causadores de gastrenterite aguda e responsáveis por 36% dos casos hospitalizações entre crianças menores de cinco anos, resultando em 453.000 óbitos anualmente, principalmente em países em desenvolvimento. Pertencem à família Reoviridae, gênero Rotavirus, possui RNA de dupla fita (dsRNA) com 11 segmentos codificando 12 proteínas. O genótipo G1 se apresenta geralmente com maior frequência nas investigações epidemiológicas, circulando em várias partes do mundo sob diferentes prevalências. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a variabilidade genética dos genes VP4, VP7 e NSP4 dos rotavírus G1 circulantes nos municípios de Belém e Marituba, Pará, Brasil, no período de 1982 a 2008. Foram selecionadas 83 amostras previamente caracterizadas como G1 e submetidas a RT-PCR. Os espécimes foram provenientes de sete estudos realizados no IEC. Foi possível a amplificação para os três genes em estudo de 63 (75,9%) espécimes. Foram detectadas as linhagens 1 (8/63, 12,7 %), 2 (29/63, 46,0%), 3 (18/63, 28,6%) e 9 (8/63, 12,7%) para o gene VP7. Co-predominaram as sublinhagens 2E e 3A concorrendo com um total de 57,1% (36/63) das amostras. Foram observadas três substituições de aminoácidos (97 [D→E], 147 [S→N] e 218 [I→V]) no gene VP7 nas regiões antigênicas (A, B e C) nas amostras das linhagens 1, 2 e 9. Todas as amostras apresentaram a especificidade P[8] para o gene VP4 e as linhagens 2 (21/63, 33,3%) e 3 (42/63, 66,7%) foram detectadas. No gene da VP4 ocorreram duas alterações (35 [I→V] e 38 [S→G]) na região antigênica em todas as amostras analisadas. Para o gene NSP4, todas as amostras pertenceram ao tipo E1. Houve mudanças de nucleotídeos nas posições 47 (C→T) e 101 (T→C), resultando em alteração aminoacídica nos resíduos 16 (S→P) e 34 (L→P) em todas as amostras analisadas e nove espécimes demonstraram alteração no sítio de toxicidade da NSP4 (aa 131). Tal análise permitiu ampliar o conhecimento da diversidade genética e da circulação de variantes de rotavírus G1, representando o primeiro estudo da epidemiologia molecular deste genótipo no Brasil e confirmar a alta heterogeneidade que este tipo apresenta.

This work brings to its content proposed deployment of a system of quality management in paving asphalt based on the elaboration of a basic training to meet those entering this area of civil engineering at a technical manual for the implementation of major services running on paving of roads. The training was designed to serve both those entering the field of asphalt paving, synthesizing the complex processes involved in paving services and providing an overview of the steps in implementation thereof, as well as entrants must meet the enterprise user of this system, providing them an idea of the method used by the company designing the paving of roads. The technical manual presented in turn, has 8 (eight) of the main services components of a work of paving, which are: Mobilization and Maintenance of construction site, Regularization and subfloor preparation, execution or sub-base BGS base (graded gravel plain), Execution of sub-base or base BGTC (graded gravel treated with cement), Implementation of subbase or base Macadam hydraulic Priming bituminous waterproofing, asphalt binder Priming and finally the execution flexible pavement - HMA (hot milled asphalt concrete). These services are presented in the form of IT-Education work, this seven items are presented that guide the performance of services, thus providing overall guidelines to perform the services described in it. The development of IT's was based on experiences in day-to-day paving near the theoretical precepts presented in the literature, so the conditions specified in these documents aim to always guide the implementation of services in general, giving the process a versatility major operation, as this work takes into account the dynamics of such services, as well as the variety of their execution according to local conditions and specified in the project. So in general we can say that this ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Today’s pet food industry is growing rapidly, with pet owners demanding high-quality diets for their pets. The primary role of diet is to provide enough nutrients to meet metabolic requirements, while giving the consumer a feeling of well-being. Diet nutrient composition and digestibility are of crucial importance for health and well being of animals. A recent strategy to improve the quality of food is the use of “nutraceuticals” or “Functional foods”. At the moment, probiotics and prebiotics are among the most studied and frequently used functional food compounds in pet foods. The present thesis reported results from three different studies. The first study aimed to develop a simple laboratory method to predict pet foods digestibility. The developed method was based on the two-step multi-enzymatic incubation assay described by Vervaeke et al. (1989), with some modification in order to better represent the digestive physiology of dogs. A trial was then conducted to compare in vivo digestibility of pet-foods and in vitro digestibility using the newly developed method. Correlation coefficients showed a close correlation between digestibility data of total dry matter and crude protein obtained with in vivo and in vitro methods (0.9976 and 0.9957, respectively). Ether extract presented a lower correlation coefficient, although close to 1 (0.9098). Based on the present results, the new method could be considered as an alternative system of evaluation of dog foods digestibility, reducing the need for using experimental animals in digestibility trials. The second parte of the study aimed to isolate from dog faeces a Lactobacillus strain capable of exert a probiotic effect on dog intestinal microflora. A L. animalis strain was isolated from the faeces of 17 adult healthy dogs..The isolated strain was first studied in vitro when it was added to a canine faecal inoculum (at a final concentration of 6 Log CFU/mL) that was incubated in anaerobic serum bottles and syringes which simulated the large intestine of dogs. Samples of fermentation fluid were collected at 0, 4, 8, and 24 hours for analysis (ammonia, SCFA, pH, lactobacilli, enterococci, coliforms, clostridia). Consequently, the L. animalis strain was fed to nine dogs having lactobacilli counts lower than 4.5 Log CFU per g of faeces. The study indicated that the L animalis strain was able to survive gastrointestinal passage and transitorily colonize the dog intestine. Both in vitro and in vivo results showed that the L. animalis strain positively influenced composition and metabolism of the intestinal microflora of dogs. The third trail investigated in vitro the effects of several non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) on dog intestinal microflora composition and metabolism. Substrates were fermented using a canine faecal inoculum that was incubated in anaerobic serum bottles and syringes. Substrates were added at the final concentration of 1g/L (inulin, FOS, pectin, lactitol, gluconic acid) or 4g/L (chicory). Samples of fermentation fluid were collected at 0, 6, and 24 hours for analysis (ammonia, SCFA, pH, lactobacilli, enterococci, coliforms). Gas production was measured throughout the 24 h of the study. Among the tested NDO lactitol showed the best prebiotic properties. In fact, it reduced coliforms and increased lactobacilli counts, enhanced microbial fermentation and promoted the production of SCFA while decreasing BCFA. All the substrates that were investigated showed one or more positive effects on dog faecal microflora metabolism or composition. Further studies (in particular in vivo studies with dogs) will be needed to confirm the prebiotic properties of lactitol and evaluate its optimal level of inclusion in the diet.

Food commodity prices fluctuations have important impacts on poverty and food insecurity across the world. Conventional models have not provided a complete picture of recent price spikes in agricultural commodity markets, while there is an urgent need for appropriate policy responses. Perhaps new approaches are needed in order to better understand international spill-overs, the feedback between the real and the financial sectors and also the link between food and energy prices. In this paper, we present results from a new worldwide dynamic model that provides short and long-run impulse responses of wheat international prices to various real shocks.

To date, no research has rigorously addressed the concern that local and regional procurement (LRP) of food aid could affect food prices and food price volatility in food aid source and recipient countries. We assemble spatially and temporally disaggregated data and estimate the relationship between food prices and their volatility and local food aid procurement and distribution across seven countries for several commodities. In most cases, LRP activities have no statistically significant relationship with either local price levels or food price volatility. The few exceptions underscore the importance of market monitoring. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Since the worldwide food price crisis of 2008, foreign investors have rushed to acquire large amounts of agricultural land in poorer countries. Some observers welcome this, claiming that outside investment in ostensibly underused land will jump-start local development. Others regard such investments as land grabs, stressing that the areas are rarely empty and that local people have little say. This brief identifies the types of land targeted by investors and reveals key socio-ecological patterns of such deals. The evidence indicates that foreign investments are intensifying competition for the best land. Ensuring that such deals instead contribute to sustainable, inclusive use of land requires strong public guidance and oversight.

En la presente tesis se realiza un estudio sobre el cambio en el modo de desarrollo -su emergencia y consolidación- en Argentina en el período post-neoliberal, a partir del análisis de las dimensiones económicas y políticas que componen un modo de desarrollo. El abordaje teórico que se propone intenta retomar categorías de la economía política latinoamericana, la sociología política y la teoría del Estado para lograr una lectura centrada en los procesos económicos de clase y la construcción de proyectos políticos hegemónicos. A través de este análisis se pretenden problematizar los fundamentos del cambio en el modo de desarrollo, en tanto que articulación entre un patrón de reproducción económica y un proyecto político hegemónico. Para la aproximación empírica se seleccionó el período 2002-2011, diferenciando la etapa de emergencia (2002-2007) de la etapa de consolidación (2008-2011) del nuevo orden social. En este período, se realiza una investigación anclada en una triangulación de métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos. Entre los primeros, se utiliza una metodología novedosa para el estudio de los procesos de clase en Argentina, basada sobre todo en la complementación de cuentas nacionales y encuestas de hogares. Por su parte, los procesos políticos y las pujas hegemónicas entre los diferentes actores de clase y el Estado se estudian a través de la metodología de Análisis Crítico del Discurso. Mediante esta articulación, es posible precisar el peso de los determinantes económicos y políticos en cada etapa del período post neoliberal
