Epiphyte plants use by birds in Brazil

This study firstly reviewed the interspecific interaction records between birds and epiphyte plants in Brazil. Forty two documents, including articles, scientific notes, books and thesis, and 35 personal records and from collaborators were argued, totaling 112 species of birds that interacted with 97 species of epiphyte plants. Two articles treated the theme specifically and another 40 treated related subjects, such as: pollination of epiphytes, ecology and feeding behavior of birds. Studies were concentrated mainly in Atlantic Forest, in the southeastern Brazilian region. The epiphyte species more visited by birds was Aechmea nudicaulis (Bromeliaceae). The main visitor of epiphytes was Ramphodon naevius (Trochilidae). According to the number of authors' citations an index of generality in bird-epiphyte interactions was created. As result the index inferred that the ovenbird Cichlocolaptes leucophrus and the bromeliad Nidularium procerum are less generalist and more specialist species in bird-epiphyte interactions. The totality of the papers showed a considerable number of bird species that use the epiphytes plants and its resources, including nectar, fruits, invertebrates, nest material, nesting place, water and bath. Considering the importance of epiphytes to supply a variety of resources for birds, these results highlighted the necessity of additional and specific studies about the theme in various Brazilian regions and biomes.

Um toque de voyeurismo

Por muito tempo, duvidou–se da possibilidade de se penetrar na história íntima dos brasileiros de séculos passados através da leitura de seus diários, tidos como inexistentes. Entretanto, pesquisas mais recentes têm demonstrado que essa vontade de se revelar aos outros através da escrita de diários e de outros registros íntimos também existiu no Brasil do século XIX. Neste artigo, consideramos que a insuficiência ou a falta de visibilidade dos diários íntimos no Brasil é, em grande parte, resultado de escolhas efetuadas por nossos antepassados, que muitas vezes optaram por destruir seus registros íntimos para não correrem o risco de ter sua vida devassada pela curiosidade alheia. Ou ainda escolhas de arquivistas e pesquisadores, que por muito tempo se recusaram a conferir a esse tipo de documentação o status de fonte histórica. Mais especificamente, analisamos o diário de José Vieira Couto de Magalhães (1837–1898), importante político e intelectual do Brasil do século XIX, procurando perceber até que ponto, ao comunicar–se para si mesmo, o autor também comunica um pouco do mundo em que vivia ou como se relacionava com esse mundo. Referente ao período de permanência do autor em Londres (1880–1887), o diário registra seu menoscabo pelas mulheres, seus sonhos eróticos homossexuais, seus cuidados com o corpo, seu pavor diante da possibilidade de adoecer, entre outros temas, o que constitui excelente oportunidade para evidenciarmos a legitimidade da sexualidade enquanto objeto de pesquisa e reflexão das ciências sociais.

Content-Based Image Retrieval for Computer Tomography Images Using Wavelet Descriptors

An approach to building a CBIR-system for searching computer tomography images using the methods of wavelet-analysis is presented in this work. The index vectors are constructed on the basis of the local features of the image and on their positions. The purpose of the proposed system is to extract visually similar data from the individual personal records and from analogous analysis of other patients.

Concordance between medical records and personal interview in ascertaining breast cancer and diabetes status: Analysis of the south Texas women's health project

Accurate ascertainment of risk factors and disease status is vital in public health research for proper classification of research subjects. The two most common ways of obtaining this data is by self-report and review of medical records (MRs). South Texas Women’s Health Project was a case-control study looking at interrelationships between hormones, diet, and body size and breast cancer among Hispanic women 30-79 years of age. History of breast cancer, diabetes mellitus (DM) and use of DM medications was ascertained from a personal interview. At the time of interview, the subject identified her major health care providers and signed the medical records release form, which was sent to the designated providers. The MRs were reviewed to confirm information obtained from the interview.^ Aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity between MRs and personal interview in diagnosis of breast cancer, DM and DM treatment. We also wanted to assess how successful our low-cost approach was in obtaining pertinent MRs and what factors influenced the quality of MR or interview data. Study sample was 721 women with both self-report and MR data available by June 2007. Overall response rate for MR requests was 74.5%. MRs were 80.9% sensitive and 100% specific in confirming breast cancer status. Prevalence of DM was 22.7% from the interviews and 16% from MRs. MRs did not provide definite information about DM status of 53.6% subjects. Sensitivity and specificity of MRs for DM status was 88.9% and 90.4% respectively. Disagreement on DM status from the two sources was seen in 15.9% subjects. This discordance was more common among older subjects, those who were married and were predominantly Spanish speaking. Income and level of education did not have a statistically significantly association with this disagreement.^ Both self-report and MRs underestimate the prevalence of DM. Relying solely on MRs leads to greater misclassification than relying on self-report data. MRs have good to excellent specificity and thus serve as a good tool to confirm information obtained from self-report. Self-report and MRs should be used in a complementary manner for accurate assessment of DM and breast cancer status.^
