A representação dos conventos de Lisboa cerca de 1567 na primeira planta da cidade

No presente trabalho estuda-se por um lado a primeira representação de cada um dos conventos de Lisboa, tal como foram registados na segunda gravura com a imagem da capital, publicada em 1598 por Georg Braun no volume V da série Civitatis orbis terrarum, e por outro mostra-se como esta imagem corresponderá à primeira planta-topográfica de Lisboa preparada talvez cerca de 1567. A referida imagem de Lisboa revela o essencial das linhas de força do urbanismo da cidade no século XVI e apresenta um primeiro e vasto panorama visual do património construído até então, de que apreciamos aqui o caso dos quinze conventos nela representados.

Asphalt Rubber Cement Concrete Webster County, HR-555, Construction Report, 1993

Discarded tires have become a major disposal problem in the U.S. Different techniques of recycling these discarded tires have been tried. The state of Iowa is currently evaluating the use of discarded tires ground into crumb rubber and blending it with asphalt to make asphalt rubber cement (ARC}. This was the sixth project this process has been used in. This project is located on US 169 from the east junction of IA 175 west and north to US 20. Only the binder course was placed this year with the surface course to be let at a later date. There are four test sections, two sections with conventional mixtures and two with ARC mixtures.

La escuela nueva y las tendencias innovadoras actuales.

Observar una parte de las características, fundamentos y principios en los que se basa la escuela nueva en sus momentos de creación y desarrollo, apreciando las singularidades de cada país, y por otra parte, examinar las corrientes innovadoras existentes en la época de realización de la tesina, ver si aún perduraba el espíritu del movimiento nuevo y preveer lo futurible dentro del campo de la educación. El movimiento de la escuela nueva. Desarrolla una investigación histórica y comparativa basada en bibliografía. Adapta la investigación al transcurso y momentos de desarrollo de la escuela nueva, en todo el mundo, a la educación de la época y a la futura. Describe los métodos y metas de las escuelas nuevas de diversos países, destacando los aspectos negativos y positivos de cada una para hacer una comparación y poder formular las posibilidades necesarias para proporcionar a la persona un completo desarrollo armónico de su personalidad. Fuentes bibliográficas. Desarrolla extensas conclusiones sobre la evolución de los métodos y técnicas educativas, del proceso educativo futuro (a partir de 1977) y de sus principios regidores (21 recomendaciones sobre la estrategia educativa del futuro). Destaca la previsión de un contínuo reciclaje de toda persona activa debido al ritmo en que evoluciona la sociedad, la individualización de la enseñanaza y una educación extrafamiliar precoz. Habla también de convertir la escuela en una ciudad educativa cimentada en unas bases de flexibilidad, de formación común de carácter general y politécnico que facilite la movilidad de los alumnos.

High Proportion of Male Faeces in Jaguar Populations

Faeces provide relevant biological information which includes, with the application of genetic techniques, the sex and identity of individuals that defecated, thus providing potentially useful data on the behaviour and ecology of individuals, as well as the dynamics and structure of populations. This paper presents estimates of the sex ratio of different felid species (jaguar, Panthera onca; puma, Puma concolor; and ocelot/margay, Leopardus pardalis/Leopardus wiedi) as observed in field collected faeces, and proposes several hypotheses that could explain the strikingly high proportion of faeces from male jaguars. The proportion of male and female faeces was estimated using a non-invasive faecal sampling method in 14 study areas in Mexico and Brazil. Faecal samples were genetically analysed to identify the species, the sex and the individual (the latter only for samples identified as belonging to jaguars). Considering the three species, 72.6% of faeces (n = 493) were from males; however, there were significant differences among them, with the proportion from males being higher for jaguars than for pumas and ocelots/margays. A male-bias was consistently observed in all study areas for jaguar faeces, but not for the other species. For jaguars the trend was the same when considering the number of individuals identified (n = 68), with an average of 4.2 +/- 0.56 faeces per male and 2.0 +/- 0.36 per female. The observed faecal marking patterns might be related to the behaviour of female jaguars directed toward protecting litters from males, and in both male and female pumas, to prevent interspecific aggressions from male jaguars. The hypothesis that there are effectively more males than females in jaguar populations cannot be discarded, which could be due to the fact that females are territorial and males are not, or a tendency for males to disperse into suboptimal areas for the species.

Ocular and systemic endothelial function in the off spring of diabetics:a pilot study

Purpose To investigate ocular and systemic correlates of endothelial function in the normoglycaemic offspring of Type 2 Diabetics (T2DM). Methods Healthy participants aged between 25-65 with (n=30) and without (n=39) a family history were recruited. Retinal vessel reactivity was assessed by using the Retinal Vessel Analyser (RVA, Imedos GmBH). In addition, systemic endothelial function was assessed by using the flow mediated dilation (FMD) technique. Results Parametric testing showed no significant differences in anthropometric, blood assay or ocular and systemic function between both groups (p>0.05). The average maximum dilation in the measured retinal artery correlated significantly with the maximum dilation of the measured brachial artery (p=0.002 R=0.55) in healthy controls; however, this was not true for subjects with family history of T2DM. Conclusion Subjects with family history of T2DM show possibly early signs of endothelial dysfunction that, in certain conditions, could contribute to the higher risk of this group of developing similar pathology to their parents.
